Eagle Scout Beautifies Corpus Christi Church

M

y Eagle Scout project is “In Honor of Those that have Served” and is to beautify the Corpus Christi Religious Education, CYO and Youth Center. On Sunday, Aug. 23 Father Malcolm blessed my Eagle Scout project: two trees, a rose bush and flowering plants, installing handrails at the main and west entrance, concrete work at the main entrance, painting an interior wall and installing a new banner and sign.

The trees are planted in honor of our men and women who sacrifice their lives for us every day and in memory of fallen first responders. A rose bush was planted in memory of Sr. Therese Ezelius, who served Corpus Christi Parish for many years.

The beautification of Corpus Christi Religious Education, CYO and Youth Center encompassed months of work. In March, shrubs and a stump was removed to prepare for planting trees.

he COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way in which people have been permitted to assemble for a host of services, ceremonies, activities and events.

While some governments have decided to scale back their September 11th ceremonies in the face of the coronavirus, the Nassau County government, and the towns of Hempstead and Oyster Bay, along with hamlets and villages, are moving ahead with programs to honor our fallen heroes.

Carle Place

The Carle Place American Legion Post 1718 will hold a service on Friday, Sept. 11, at 11 a.m. at the Carle Place Veterans Memorial Park. The park is located at the corner of Westbury Avenue and Carle Road. This is the 19th anniversary of the attack on our country. Organizers ask that attendees wear masks and practice social distancing.

East Williston

The Village of East Williston will be having its 9/11 Memorial ceremony at 7 p.m. at the Village Green on Friday, Sept. 11.

Farmingdale

The Farmingdale Community Summit 9-11 Ceremony will be live-streamed this year. Visit www. farmingdalesummit.org/ to access the link closer to the date. Farmingdale Remembers is the summit’s annual observance commemorating the tragic events of September 11, 2001. The Farmingdale Community Summit Council presents the brief ceremony to honor and remember those who perished, to pay tribute to those who served so unselfishly in the recovery operation and show continued support for all those who were affected by the events of 9/11/01. The complications of the pandemic caused this year’s ceremony, scheduled for Sept.

11, to be a virtual one.

Islamic Center And Community Reform Congregation Host Impassioned Appeal For Muslim-Jewish Unity

T

he Muslim and Jewish co-authors of a book promoting MuslimJewish friendship and trust appealed directly to members of their respective communities to “stand together to protect democracy, pluralism and religious liberty in America.”

Addressing a Zoom forum co-sponsored by the Interfaith Institute of the Islamic Center of Long Island (ICLI) and Temple Or Elohim, A Community Reform Congregation, the speakers, Sabeeha Rehman and Walter Ruby, whose book, We Refuse to be Enemies. How Muslims and Jews Can Make Peace, One Friendship at a Time (Arcade Publishing.

will be able to prosper in an America characterized by xenophobia and bigotry.”

Rehman and Ruby, who have worked to strengthen Muslim-Jewish communication and cooperation since 9/11, believe that Jews and Muslims are natural allies who share a great deal including common Patriarchs and Matriarchs, and shared principles at the core of both faiths. Yet they acknowledged one of the roadblocks to Muslim-Jewish solidarity, which includes differences in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They argued American Muslims and Jews cannot afford to let the conflict drive us apart, especially at a time when our collective well-being in America is at stake.

Dr. Faroque Khan, founder and president of the Interfaith Institute and a pioneer in Muslim-Jewish relations going back to the early 1990s, said, “Now, more than ever, Muslims, Jews and interfaith allies need to come together and stand up for core American values that sustain us all.”

County Executive Launches Nassau Smart Sprinkler Reimbursement Program In an effort to promote long-term water conservation, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran and Legislator Siela Bynoe kicked off the “Smart Sprinkler” Reimbursement program.

Through the new county initiative, eligible Nassau County homeowners can apply for a partial reimbursement for the cost of installing weather-based irrigation controller technology—commonly referred to as smart sprinkler systems—at their home.

“This summer, as we go through an abnormally dry season, we are reminded of how important it is to conserve our precious water,” Curran said.

“Each summer, water usage goes up 400 percent. We can make a difference by changing our habits and embracing technology to do the job for us. I hope this reimbursement encourages people to upgrade to a smarter lawn watering

system, which will save water— and help residents save money on their water bills.”

“By incentivizing the use of proven water-saving technology, the Smart Sprinkler Reimbursement program puts money back into the pockets of residents while supporting Nassau County’s ongoing efforts to conserve and protect our most precious natural resource,” Bynoe said. “I urge every eligible homeowner to take full advantage of this initiative—one that bolsters regional efforts to preserve our single-source aquifer as a reliable supply of clean, safe, and plentiful drinking water for future generations.”

Qualified homeowners can receive up to a $150 credit toward the cost of installing a smart sprinkler system. The reimbursement program does not apply to residents who are already eligible through their

water supplier for financial assistance in purchasing smart sprinkler technology.

Rebates are drawn from a $100,000 allocation and will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

Residents can visit www. nassaucountyny.gov/1547/ consumer-affairs to apply for the reimbursement.

Weather-based irrigation controllers are equipped with smart water sensors that detect rainfall and prevent over-watering. Smart sprinkler systems supplement this data with a variety of metrics and data provided by the user to determine how fast water will evaporate from soil in a yard.

Based on this information, smart sprinkler systems can break up watering times into smaller segments automatically to maximize efficiency, help water soak in, and reduce run-off. Smart sprinklers also monitor temperature, keep

track of previous weather and adjust irrigation levels to meet the needs of each zone. These smart adaptations help save water and in turn save the

homeowner money on their water bill.

Synagogues Prepare For Unusual High Holy Day Season

BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

T

jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

he High Holy Days are rapidly approaching. The sound of the shofar—a ram’s horn—will return once again. However, the long, still sound might be a tad different.

The echo created by the shofar might last even longer this year.

That’s because synagogues across Long Island will have fewer people in attendance due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The High Holy Days begin with Rosh Hashanah at sunset on Friday, Sept. 18, and the clock is ticking.

Some synagogues are imposing a specific limit to the number of people who can attend the services this year, while others are streaming services on Zoom and even hosting multiple of the same services throughout the High Holy Day season.

“Challenges, challenges,” Rabbi Perry Raphael Rank from the Midway Jewish Center said. “There will be many.”

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said in June that houses of worship could only open at 25 percent capacity. That’s a major issue for small Jewish congregations, which need a quorum of 10 people to conduct a complete service.

U.S. District Court Judge Gary Sharpe in late June said the state cannot impose a lower capacity limit for houses for worship compared to other places.

“We need to create a sense of community while people are seated 10 feet apart,” Rabbi Rank said. “We need to create the warmth and joy that lies at the heart of our community while reminding people not to shake hands, hug or kiss. We need to honor people while suspending almost 95 percent of all honors typically distributed as we do not want people touching the Torah or the Ark.” Rabbi Anchelle Perl from Congregation Beth Sholom Chabad in Mineola is doing things much differently. It’s a time for his congregation to get creative.

The Chabad in Mineola will have a pair of Shabbat morning services on Rosh Hashanah, with one service from 7 to 11 a.m. and the other from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Both services will include a sermon, with the latter

serving as a “highlighted service.”

Likewise will be the case on Yom Kippur, which begins on Sunday, Sept.

27.

“I want people to do exactly what they are comfortable doing,” Rabbi Rank said. “I will not persuade someone to attend services nor encourage them to stay home, unless I feel they really should not be at services.

Wherever they choose to be, is a personal decision and I’m okay with that.

My job is to be sure that wherever they are, they are able to welcome in the New Year with the self-reflection this time of year demands and with the blessings they and their family deserve.”

All congregations in the area are mandating masks and observing social distancing practices. However, the idea of limiting the number of people to a service is essentially unheard of.

Congregation Beth Tikvah in

Wantagh will offer multiple services, each being shorter than usual, essentially staggering them. In between each service, sanitizing will take place.

The congregation will also live stream each service for people who cannot physically attend.

It’s yet another challenge for synagogues. Due to the rise in anti-Semitism, Cuomo mandated an increased amount of security at the houses of worship in 2019. That security will likely continue in 2020, with anti-Semitic incidents still on the rise.

Through the first five months of the year, anti-Semitic incidents reached a 40-year high in New York State.

Throughout the pandemic, synagogues have faced many halachic— Jewish law—questions that they might have never dealt with. Among them is the idea of live streaming services for more observant congregations.

Reform congregations have streamed services for several years, but it is forbidden in conservative and orthodox synagogues due to Judaism’s stance of not using electronic devices on Shabbat and holy days. Since this is a scenario that is

unheard, compromises have to be made. Rabbinic authorities have been more lenient with this rule because of the capacity limit the governor is mandating, as well as the fact that it is recommended that elderly congregants do not attend services.

“Since June 6, we have conducted services in the sanctuary and have also begun to stream those services,” Rabbi Rank said. “The decision to stream was not made lightly as we recognized that it would be compromising some aspects of Jewish law. But in the end, it was an ethical decision we needed to make, in as much as we were actively discouraging certain people from attending. So the question became, for us, how do we on the one hand discourage our membership from attending while not providing some alternative in the meantime. And, at that point, it was important for us to stream the services and that’s what we have been doing.”

Roslyn Restaurant Owners Fight for Survival

ROSLYN

BY GEMMA SCHNEIDER editorial@antonmediagroup.com

W

hen the coronavirus hit in mid-March, Alex Sieligowski knew that he would have to implement tremendous changes in order to keep Gino’s Parlor of Roslyn afloat. The stakes were high—he and his wife were expecting their second child by the end of the month, his wife was going to be out of work, and now, Sieligowski feared that he was going to lose Gino’s, his first-ever business. Like every other local restaurant owner during this time, Sieligowski faced a grueling question: would it be possible for the business to survive—let alone thrive—in a COVID-19 world?

For Sieligowski and so many other Roslyn restaurant owners, survival has proven nearly insurmountable.

Requiring creativity, strength and grit, these business owners have needed to completely reinvent the commercial dining experience. And the journey is still ongoing—marked by constant challenge and uncertainty, but also by an unwavering desire to tackle whatever lies ahead.

When the pandemic struck, the unprecedented demand for cleanliness and safety evoked a variety of responses from restaurant owners. Jimmy Zanfardino, owner of Delicacies Gourmet of Roslyn, sent away for disposable temperature strips in the middle of March. Boxes of test strips that used to be sold at $30 were now being sold for upwards of $100—a cost that Zanfardino decided to absorb out-of-pocket in order to ensure that he could check his employees’ temperatures before they came into work each morning.

Meanwhile, Sieligowski decided not to let customers into Gino’s at all when the pandemic first hit—instead, he set up a designated take-out station designed exclusively for virtually contact-less exchanges.

“I knew that in order to make things work, I had to make Gino’s the safest place for customers to get food from and for my employees to work at,” Sieligowski said.

Another crucial question was whether the demand for restaurant services would even continue to exist in this new landscape. This concern rung loudly at Roslyn’s YOLO Yogurt Shop & Desserteria, which had thrived as a self-serve facility since day one.

Anton Media Group would like to remind our readers that the CDC recommends people to wash their hands for at least 20 seconds to combat the coronavirus. Need a timer? Hum the Happy Birthday song from beginning to end twice.

It took the Landmark Diner until early August to reach even one-third of its usual business capacity.

Frank Briggs and his business partners now faced a challenge: could they continue to satisfy their customers in coronavirus times, when the self-serve model has become unworkable?

Ultimately, they had to change their business model entirely, closing their lobby and began taking all orders from an outdoor order window when the pandemic began.

“There was no grace period,” Briggs said. “The Roslyn clients expect what they want when they want it, without exception. We have been blessed to remain open from the start.”

Not all local restaurants, though, were able to successfully adapt to the new demands created by the pandemic.

Back in March, following several weeks of slow business and few prospects for improvement, Lou Tiglias decided to shut down Roslyn’s Landmark Diner.

While Tiglias was ultimately able to return to work in late June, it took until early August for the diner to reach even one-third of its usual business capacity.

With customers still reluctant to come in, Tiglias continues to fear for the diner’s survival.

“Every week it’s getting a little bit better,” Tiglias said. “But if we don’t reach at least 50 or 60 percent capacity, we’re probably going to have to shut down again.”

Roslyn’s La Bottega also temporarily generally a bleak moment in time. We closed starting in mid-March.

Eagle Scout Beautifies Corpus Christi Church

y Eagle Scout project is “In Honor of Those that have Served” and is to beautify the Corpus Christi Religious Education, CYO and Youth Center.

On Sunday, Aug. 23 Father Malcolm blessed my Eagle Scout project: two trees, a rose bush and flowering plants, installing handrails at the main and west entrance, concrete work at the main entrance, painting an interior wall and installing a new banner and sign.

The trees are planted in honor of our men and women who sacrifice their lives for us every day and in memory of fallen first responders. A rose bush was planted in memory of Sr. Therese Ezelius, who served Corpus Christi Parish for many years.

The beautification encompassed months of work. In March, shrubs and a stump were removed to prepare for planting trees. The current sign and posts were removed. We placed new sign posts with concrete and an interior wall was scraped and painted. With the help of my grandfather, Alexandre DaSilva Sr., we were able to fix the brick wall and point the concrete at the main entrance. Earlier in the month, a handrail was installed at each entrance

NYU Winthrop Earns First LGBTQ Health Care Equality Leader Designation NYU Winthrop Hospital, part of NYU Langone Health, recently announced that it has been awarded the LGBTQ Health Care Equality Leader designation from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation (HRC). HRC is the education arm of America’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people. To be awarded the designation, healthcare facilities must concretely demonstrate initiatives that go far beyond the basics when it comes to adopting policies and practices in LGBTQ care.

“We have a dedication to creating and providing high quality, culturally competent, inclusive healthcare to all our patients, visitors and employees,” Valerie Terzano, vice president for Nursing and Patient Care Services at NYU Winthrop Hospital, said. “By reducing barriers to quality care, we ensure that our patients and their families feel welcome, safe and valued at NYU Winthrop Hospital.”

NYU Winthrop Hospital’s LGBTQ+ Advisory Committee is continually seeking enhancements to patient care. Hospital neuropsychologist Carole Filangieri, PhD, who co-chairs the committee along with Valerie Terzano, said that upcoming initiatives include lunch-and-learns on LGBTQ+ care, which will be open to all hospital staff.

Additionally, NYU Long Island School of Medicine is developing a two-week elective focusing on LGBTQ+ patient care across the lifespan. That elective will be for third-year medical students in order to train culturally competent, inclusive primary care physicians.

Every year, HRC recognizes healthcare facilities for their dedication and commitment to LGBTQ inclusion with evaluations based on participation in the Healthcare Equality Index (HEI). Healthcare organizations that receive an overall score of 100 are awarded the LGBTQ Health Care Equality Leader designation. In addition to NYU Winthrop Hospital, NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn, NYU Langone Orthopedic Hospital and NYU Langone’s

Tisch Hospital also earned this esteemed designation.

“The healthcare facilities participating in the HRC Foundation’s Healthcare Equality Index (HEI) are not only on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic, they are also making it clear from their participation in the HEI that they stand on the side of fairness and are committed to providing inclusive care to their LGBTQ patients,” HRC President Alphonso David said. “In addition, many have made strong statements on racial justice and equity and are engaging in efforts to address racial inequities in their institutions and their communities.”

The 2020 awards were announced in the 12th edition of the HEI. Among noteworthy progress reflected in the 2020 HEI: • 99 percent of HEI participants documented that they include both “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” in their patient non-discrimination policy—and in their employment nondiscrimination policy.

• 92 percent of participants met the HEI’s training requirements, completing more than 150,000 hours of staff training in LGBTQ patient-centered care.

Troop 298 Scouting Spirit Soars Despite COVID Challenges to our new COVID protocols, the troop recently joined the village and Nassau County in the BlueRibbon Campaign to show their support for our brave men and women in our police department that serve and protect us 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The troop social distanced themselves, wore face masks and tied more than 60 blue ribbons up and down Jericho Turnpike in the Village of New Hyde Park.

Recently, the troop continued their support for the community.

Life Scout Ian Garvin, for his Eagle Project, refurbished the village community lot on Jericho Turnpike. For his project, Garvin and the troop removed debris, trimmed up vegetation, removed dead vegetation, and re-striped the parking lot.

They also planted a tree in memory of Eagle Scout Zachery Zabatta, who was tragically killed

in a car accident last October. The troop completed the parking lot in two days, following and adapting to ever changing COVID protocols.

They also accomplished this in the midst of a heat wave. Trustee Richard Pallisco, who was the village primary point of contact, noted that he couldn’t be happier with the outcome of the project.

Trustee Rainer Burger, who is also an assistant Scoutmaster stated, “The troop is fantastic.

Despite all the challenges that we all face, they are right there, out front, riding the wave and eager to support and help the community.

With everything happening in the world and in our area today, we see our core values of serving and supporting our community, government and those who protect us remains strong.”

Jayne Mansfield, Reality Star Avatar

BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

W

ardrobe malfunctions? Check.

Appearing nude in Playboy magazine? Been there. Making your life an open book for outsiders? Done that. Living by the motto that there is no such thing as bad publicity? Ditto.

Decades before celebrities chronicled their every thought and deed on Twitter and Instagram, Jayne Mansfield showed them the way Erik Liberman of Manhattan, a stage and TV actor, is currently penning a biography of Mansfield and gathering material for a documentary. A classic “blonde bombshell,” her genius for publicity and messy private life made her fodder for reporters, gossip columnists and paparazzi in the 1950s and ’60s.

Mansfield’s relentless self-promotion and self-creation secured her iconic status in the celebrity firmament. They make her, Liberman argues, an avatar of familiar social media figures like the Kardashians.

Liberman made his case in an article he wrote for The Hollywood Reporter in 2017 titled, “Jayne Mansfield: The First Reality Star?”

Starstruck

Liberman was drawn to movie stars from an early age. He wrote fan letters to such Golden Age luminaries as Marlene Dietrich and Hedy Lamarr, and drew responses, he related in a recent interview with Anton Media Group.

“I was a classic movie fan who became fascinated with Mansfield and ended up interviewing her parents, first husband, last employer, and others who knew her,” he said. “Mansfield’s relevance did not make itself clear to me until the 2016 election, when I recognized just how far she had moved the needle in terms of reality stardom and even the celebrification of politics.”

The biography, he said, originated in the early ’90s when he answered an ad from an author seeking research help for a Mansfield biography. Though the book was never written, it provided the material when he began his own effort.

“I didn’t know much about her, and of course, this was pre-internet, so I started writing to various libraries for information,” he said. “Eventually, I interviewed Jayne’s mother and stepfather—Vera and Harry Peers. They gave me their blessing to write a biography.”

Liberman talked to just about everyone still living who had worked with or knew the actress, more than 300 people.

“Twenty-five years later, I was doing a

Broadway play called ‘War Paint,’ and it happened to be the 50th anniversary of her death,” Liberman related. “And I realized that everyone I had spoken to was gone.”

“The universe,” he added, “started giving me signs” that he ought to start on the book. He’s also working on a documentary, editing interviews of about 90 people.

“It was a privilege to chat with so many people in show business who played a really vital role in building our American theater,” Liberman said. “And to learn not only what it was like working with Mansfield, but also playing great roles in the theater.”

The Star System

Mansfield was born Vera Jayne Palmer in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, on April 19, 1933. Her father Herbert died when she was 3. At 17, she married Paul Mansfield and later moved to Hollywood. Her movie carer was relatively brief but brilliant, with her best-known films—The Girl Can’t Help It and Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?— epitomes of classic 1950s Hollywood comedy. She was also a success in Las Vegas, drawing top dollar for her revues.

The actress and singer was a later product of the movie studio system, which manufactured stars, kept them under contract and fashioned a persona and career for them.

But Mansfield, Liberman noted, “knew how to ‘distribute’ herself, in a fashion that is echoed today by everyone from the Kardashians [on down]. She was doing that [decades] ago.”

When Fox did not renew her contract, the actress turned to Europe for acting gigs, and later started appearing on community theater stages. To maintain her Hollywood lifestyle and growing family, she also did personal appearances—for $10,000, she was available for store openings and such.

“Each of Jayne’s children with whom I have spoken has been very encouraging, particularly since my Hollywood Reporter article came out,” said Liberman, including longtime ‘Law & Order” fixture Mariska Hargitay. “I didn’t think I could proceed without their blessing. I want to give her family a glimpse of all the amazing things their mother was.”

He added, “She had a tremendous impact on so many lives. She was a major philanthropist and did so much charity work most people don’t even know that.

I don’t intend to present a misogynistic or exploitive portrait that reinforces part of what I think has been out there about Jayne. She did a lot of good. A lot of what has been written about her is salacious and is focused on scandal.”

When Jayne Played Westbury Liberman wants to hear from people who saw her performance as Lorelei Lee in “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” staged at the Westbury Music Fair from July 19-24, 1966.

That performance came 11 months before she was killed in an infamous car accident.

“Believe it or not, I found a few people already who were in that show with her,” Liberman said. “They had wonderful things to say. And they saw that behind closed doors she was in fact a savvy businesswoman.”

“Why seek such granular information?” he was asked.

“Because so much of what has been written about her is hearsay, it’s third hand,” he replied. “When I was doing the research, I found that so many fallacies were repeated. And for my money, I’d rather hear it from someone who was there.

That doesn’t mean I believe in everything that everybody says, but when you hear a certain critical mass of people who were there say the same thing, it gives you a sense of who she was.”

He added, “I want to share that information with Jayne’s family. I want the world to have a more accurate depiction of what she gave us in those musicals.”

Mansfield, he said, took advantage of the talk show appearances in nearby New York City to drive traffic to the venue.

Liberman believes Mansfield was doing what she did best, live theater and night clubs, as her film career stalled.

“When NYU Winthrop’s TAVR team replaced my heart valve, they gave me my life back.”

For John Elliott, sailing is living. He’s been on the water for most of his 90-plus years. In all three theaters during World War 2, as a merchant seaman, and for the last 70 years sailing out of the Rockaway Point Yacht Club.

But recently John was so fatigued and short of breath, he could only walk a few steps. His aortic valve was failing. His daughter, a nurse, told John about a valve replacement procedure called TAVR. She took him to NYU Winthrop Hospital, part of NYU Langone Health. With some of the country’s highest quality TAVR programs on Long Island and in Manhattan, NYU Langone Health is a leader in this procedure. They replaced John’s valve through an artery in his leg. In no time at all, he was back to sailing off Breezy Point.

If you suffer from aortic stenosis, you may be a candidate for TAVR. To learn more, call 1-866-WINTHROP or visit nyulangone.org/tavr.

he text message awakened Darren Pittman at 4:20 a.m. on Nov. 9, 2019. It disturbed the Glen Cove police officer, coming from a friend and fellow cop, a Nassau County officer who lived in Glen Cove. It expressed suicidal thoughts.

Pittman called the officer and grew even more alarmed after the conversation. He contacted the police department for backup and, still in his pajamas, jumped into his car and drove to his friend’s house, where he spotted him in his private vehicle.

Pittman immediately saw that the officer had his off-duty weapon in his hand and his duty revolver on the front seat. Acting quickly, Pittman wrestled the gun away and according to a narrative provided by the police, “The officer became hostile but was subsequently subdued by the responding officers and taken to the hospital for evaluation. The Nassau officer is currently receiving treatment and intervention from his command.”

“What was going on through your head when you got to the scene?” Pittman was asked.

“A ton of emotions,” he replied. “At that point more [concern about] his safety, making sure that he was okay. When everything turned out well it felt great because that officer is like a little brother to me. We still talk every day and whenever he needs something he gives me a call.”

Pittman was one of five officers recognized by Congressman Thomas Suozzi (D–Glen Cove) at a ceremony in front of the Glen Cove Police Department recently. They represented law enforcement agencies across his Third District.

Pittman had special significance for the congressman, a Glen Cove native and lifelong resident, and former mayor of the city.

When he first thought about holding the ceremony, Suozzi told Anton Media Group, “The first person I called was Glen Cove Police Chief William Whitton. He was immediately aboard saying, ‘Let

me tell you a story.’ It was about officer Pittman, of course. I said, ‘Wow, you couldn’t ask for a better story. I’ve known that family for years.’”

“Darren, I’ve spoken to a lot of people about you and the praise that people have for you is universal,” Suozzi told Pittman. “You’re an exceptional person, a great leader, and we’re very fortunate to have you on the Glen Cove Police Department. I heard you were the valedictorian of your academy class. Is that correct?”

“Something like that,” the officer replied, drawing laughter.

“He’s modest, too,” Suozzi quipped.

Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder singled out Pittman for saving “one of our officer’s life. And that’s the brotherhood, the family among officers. We always look out for each other.

We are willing to lay our lives down for each other.”

Pittman was reportedly the first officer not in Ryder’s department to receive the Medal of Valor, the highest decoration.

“It felt amazing,” Pittman said of the medal. “I never heard of it going to a non-Nassau officer. It was a true honor.”

Born and raised in the city, Pittman has been on the force 5½ years.

Drucker Commemorates 75 Years Since World War II’s End N

assau County Legislator Arnold W. Drucker (D—Plainview) commemorated the 75th anniversary of the conclusion of World War II at the Museum of American Armor in Old Bethpage during ceremonies held on Saturday, Aug. 29 to mark the historic milestone. The ceremony, which featured historic armaments and the presence of World War II veterans, was held just prior to the 75th anniversary of Victory over Japan Day (V-J Day). Formal surrender documents that ended World War II were signed aboard the USS Missouri on Sept. 2, 1945.

“Seventy-five years ago, freedom prevailed over tyranny, and the indomitable American spirit conquered oppression and evil—decisively, as one united force,” Drucker said. “The fight to protect and preserve our freedom bears a price. The incredibly brave men and women that so many refer to as the ‘Greatest Generation’ sacrificed their lives to protect our freedom from threats emerging from every corner of the globe. We must never forget those Americans, who with their lives, cleared the path that the next generation and the generations after that will walk and follow.”

It’s this kind of interaction that Singh feels is the key towards battling underage drinking, particularly given the fact that 55 percent of Massapequa youth (grades 7-12) report drinking in “someone else’s home.” In addition, the age of onset (the time when youth start drinking) is around 13, which is slightly above the national average of 11.1, according to MTAC .

“One of my primary roles is really engaging the youth because they have such an important voice and know what’s going on in the community, sometimes more than the adults do because they’re in it,” the Baldwin native admitted. “The grant that I work under is really focused on that.”

Singh’s pathway to MTAC came via a two-year internship she embarked on with the YES Community Counseling Center in Massapequa while working on her case app training to become a substance abuse counselor. After earning a bachelor’s degree in

To Battle Underage Drinking

Coalition project coordinator joins fight psychology at Hofstra University, she earned a master’s degree in social work at Adelphi University. Throughout, the passion to give back has informed Singh all along the way.

“I knew I wanted to do social work to make a difference and I always wanted to work with youth, because I feel that they are our future,” she said. “I chose addiction as my specialty because more and more I noticed that addiction impacts everyone.

Town Bagel of Massapequa promotes MTAC’s Prevention Campaign. Shown from left: Larissa Singh of YES Community Counseling Center, Town Bagel Manager Rosa and MTAC volunteer Christina Karras.

Not just the person who is addicted, but also their family and friends, not to mention the community. The community piece of it was what locked me into prevention work. From working on the treatment and with youth who are affected by addiction, I’ve noticed that I’ve been seeing a decrease in the age of onset. The prevention work is so important to target a younger age and that really got me into prevention. When this became available in Massapequa, I was very grateful to be brought in as a partner in this.”

For Mark Wenzel, the YES Community Counseling assistant director who is also a licensed master social worker, Singh has proved to be a valuable addition to MTAC. “[Larissa] was a star as an intern,” he said. “We’ve had a lot of staff that comes through our internship program, which has become our breeding ground for cultivating social workers that come in with the right talents, affinity and skills in addition to displaying the right commitment to

both the agency and clients. Larissa shows tremendous potential. She’s got the perfect affect in terms of reaching out. This is going to sound stereotypical, but I’m a person in my sixties and to have someone younger who can relate to younger people makes a huge difference for us. All those things together and who she is, the way she has approached both the agency via her internship and now as a staff person reflects her tremendous potential [to make a difference].”

Grants that have encouraged MTAC to work with local businesses and the community have made a major impact starting with the Partnership For Success (PFS) initiative MTAC received money for back in 2014. It addresses prescription drug and opioid misuse.

The organization’s efforts included developing marketing campaigns to provide residents with tips to secure, monitor and dispose of unnecessary medications, helping healthcare providers and patients determine when and how opioids should be prescribed

for chronic pain and the training (with help from the YES Community Counseling Center) of more than 800 residents to administer naloxone which reverses an opioid/heroin overdose.

According to the Nassau County Police Department, the efforts have contributed to a 35 percent reduction in nonfatal opioid overdoses, among other positive results. It’s all part of a long-range approach Singh is thrilled to be part of.

“Long-term goals include being able to make progress in seeing that age of first-use increasing and also working to decrease access,” she said. “And also changing the conversation around substance abuse because we’ve seen such great progress that we need to continue.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR TOWN MUST REMOVE ROADBLOCKS FOR HOMELESS FAMILIES The Jericho Family Support Center is a laudable concept that deserves our support.

The plan involves conversion of the former Hampton Inn on Jericho Turnpike into a transitional housing facility equipped to provide approximately 80 families with case management, childcare, workforce readiness training, health referrals and 24-7 security.

Currently, there are approximately 50 families living in inhumane squalor at dilapidated motels in Jericho.

They are homeless during a global pandemic, at a time when our neighbors have lost their jobs and incomes at a level not seen since the Great Depression.

Despite the clear merits of the plan presented by service provider Community Housing Innovations (CHI) and their nearly 30-year track record of success in this field, Oyster Bay Town officials have nevertheless obstructed this project. They have embarked upon a politically motivated campaign notable for its embrace of fear-mongering, misinformation, shameless self-promotion and wasteful lawsuits—all bankrolled by you, the taxpayer.

It is the height of callous, heartless hypocrisy.

Town of Oyster Bay officials who recently sent self-congratulatory, glossy, full-color mailers to Jericho residents to announce that they “fully enforce local zoning laws… to protect your suburban way of life” have no right to take such a disingenuous victory lap. They are the same people who have consistently failed to apply town code and its enforcement mechanisms to compel the owners of these squalid motels to clean up their act. In fact, CHI’s facility is likely to do more to ameliorate any level of perceived blight than Oyster Bay Town officials have in many years.

Eligible families residing in those motels or elsewhere in the county would be relocated to the Jericho Family Support Center, where they would benefit from individualized case management with defined goals in support of their return to independent housing.

Children would have access to recreational and enrichment programs, academic assistance and transportation to Jericho schools or their home districts. Of the 80 families who have interviewed for the Jericho Family Support Center, only 19 children thus far have expressed interest in attending the 3,000-student Jericho School District.

The leap from economic stability to instability is no longer so unimaginable. As compared to July of last year, the Nassau/Suffolk unemployment rate has increased by 10 percent, rendering an additional 135,000 residents without work. Amid the pandemic, Nassau County has been asked to consider a proposal to lay off 2,900 hard-working men and women. Food insecurity has tripled as rent and mortgage assistance programs have ended.

The face of homelessness has changed and the next family who becomes homeless could look just like mine or yours.

To the individuals choosing to engage in hurtful, divisive rhetoric that, by its design, fuels the stigma that keeps struggling people in the shadows of our society, I pray that no one you love will ever be in need of the services CHI is seeking to provide. Just like you and I, these homeless families have been endowed by their Creator with the basic, inalienable human rights of dignity and respect. Their government has a constitutional and moral obligation to aid them.

Not only is this endeavor the right thing to do, it is the epitome of fiscally responsible governing. By investing in

the long-term wellness of at-risk populations, we affirm their humanity and reduce the burden on social service safety nets by empowering these individuals to once again become self-supporting, independent and productive citizens.

I understand why residents are angry about the process, and I have expressed my frustration directly to Nassau County Executive Laura Curran and to CHI. However, I cannot allow my displeasure with a flawed process to prevent me from supporting a proposal that I know will provide potentially life-saving resources for families in need.

In 2016, I made the decision to run for the Nassau County Legislature to succeed the late Judy Jacobs, a woman of the highest integrity and conviction. I ran because I wanted to help people. My desire to help people is the reason I became an attorney, and it is the reason my wife and I made the conscious decision to teach our children these same values.

At a time marked by such great suffering and hardship, I refuse to forsake my humanity for the sake of political expedience.

My Wife, The Census Taker In case you hadn’t noticed, your neighborhood is being canvassed by strangers approaching your door.

They aren’t selling anything, asking you to sign a petition, or trying to convince you to consider a different religion.

They aren’t even stopping at every house on your block.

As that person makes their way up to your driveway, don’t hide the pets and children.

Don’t make-believe you’re not home by turning off the lights and shushing everyone to be quiet. They are not there to hurt or harm you. They are just there to count you.

With the 2020 Census scheduled to conclude at the end of September, a lot of people still haven’t been counted.

You know, you could have avoided all of this by just filling out the census form they sent you earlier in the year. But no, you had to get on Uncle Sam’s “naughty” list by ignoring (or refusing) to be counted. Now, the government is sending people to ring your doorbell and find out how many people live in your house.

Of course, many of you might have dutifully completed your census online or

LONG ISLAND LIVING Paul DiSclafani pdisco23@aol.com

mailed it back months ago.

However, if it wasn’t correctly registered and counted, your address might come up on the “naughty” list. But don’t worry, all your presidential mail-in ballots will be counted accurately in November, right?

Please understand that these Census takers have a job to do, so be gentle with them.

Besides, one of them you encounter might be my wife.

After a complete vetting process and almost 20 hours of training, my wife ventured out for the first time recently to begin the quest of counting heads that haven’t yet been counted. What she found is quite eye-opening.

2020 Census forms were sent out back in March and now, workers are going door-to-door to gather information.

(CC BY-SA 4.0)

A number of you aren’t interested in cooperating.

Don’t get me wrong, many of the people are understanding and polite. Sometimes they will take the time to answer the few basic questions. Other times, they politely decline.

The questions are relatively simple and innocuous.

• How many people live in your house?

• What is their name, sex, age and relationship?

• What is their ethnicity (Hispanic or non-Hispanic) and race?

Want to know the best part?

You don’t have to answer any of them if you don’t want to, so there is no need to be rude.

If you are uncomfortable with talking to a certified Census taker because they are a stranger, ask them for the Census Identification number for your address. You can then do it yourself either online or via the telephone. If you aren’t home (or you are hiding and won’t answer the door), they will leave you a document with your Census Identification number on it.

Believe it or not, these census takers are doing you

a favor. For the next 10 years, billions (yes, billions) of federal dollars will be distributed based on these population tallies. Highway planning, commuting costs and school funds are all tied to the final 2020 Census figures. Where do you think some of the local funding for community programs, libraries and programs for elderly housing assistance comes from? Think of it as helping your community.

These census takers are not your enemy. There is no Big Brother conspiracy going on here. They are your friends and neighbors trying to do their civic duty and make some additional cash at the same time.

So please, take a few minutes and answer the questions. But more importantly, be kind to the Census taker when they approach your house. Besides, one of them might be my wife.

Research Books, Encyclopedias And Living A Thousand Lives It has been said that readers live a thousand lives before they die, while non-readers live only one. George RR Martin, author of the Game of Thrones books, has been credited with this very poignant quote. When one is immersed in a book, one gets to see life through the eyes of the protagonist. Good fiction has the power to whisk the reader to far-off lands. Reading is a peaceful, enjoyable experience for many folks. I’m one of them.

As a child, I always had my nose in books. My library at home was not vast, so my parents often took me to Levittown Public Library to take out books that appealed to me. In my younger years, Jean de Brunhoff’s Babar the Elephant took me on grand adventures. The cursive writing that lit up the pages especially appealed to my artistic side. As I grew older, I found myself drawn to the Little House series. I found

SEE YOU AROUND THE TOWN Patty Servidio

a spot in our upstairs den and curled up, eager to find out Laura Ingalls’ next great escapade. However, fictional stories were not the only books that held my rapt attention. A thin set of books, cataloged alphabetically, sat atop Dad’s handmade bookshelf in the hallway. My favorite books were a set of Golden Books Encyclopedias, which Mom had received in weekly installments from my grandmother, who purchased

them at Bohack each week with her groceries.

As I pored over the books, I learned that Iowa and Illinois produced the most corn in the United States. Each state boasted tiny symbols across their vastness, which stood for coal, manganese, cotton, oil and other natural resources.

Those books became my go-to for knowledge, and I often found myself hoping to memorize each book’s contents. I longed to become a human encyclopedia.

Dad also had a few TimeLife books, which were only about the size of a postcard.

One of them, entitled, The Sun was my very favorite. I took that book everywhere, and found myself on my belly in the backyard, soaking up the sun in both the sky and the book. I learned about “the midnight sun” in the Arctic and swore it would be on my “bucket list” of places to visit one day. When I was a freshman in college,

I realized that the Golden Book Encyclopedias would no longer fit the bill for adequate research. I learned about the Encyclopedia Brittanica and World Book Encyclopedia, with volumes so heavy that I feared lifting more than two at once.

Time and technology have marched on, which means that for many, encyclopedias have fallen out of use. It is much easier to look for information on one’s computer or cell phone, rather than to drag out a hernia-inducing volume from a local library. However, I’m still pretty old-school where it applies to research.

I enjoy the dusty fragrance of books from the library, and nothing makes me happier than a trip to the bookstore for that “new book smell”. I own a Kindle, but I only have a few books on it. I would much rather have the experience of feeling the pages between my fingers and smelling the faint aroma of print on paper.

That, my friends, is Heaven on

Earth to me.

I may not be looking for the corn icon on the state of Iowa any longer, but I still enjoy a good research book from time to time. My husband and I recently cleared out some old books from our basement and found a pile of research books about weather patterns, birds of the Northeast, types of trees, and a Peterson’s Wildflower Guide. I told him that I value research and knowledge, and if he wanted to keep his collection of Prince Albert Cans in the garage, he had best keep his mitts off my books. He backed away with a grin. I picked up that old Astronomy book and leafed through the pages.

While I will never visit the Rings of Saturn, it is nice to be able to think about it. Truly, as I read, I live a thousand lives.

And before I close my eyes for the final time, I will live a thousand more.

Veteran Affairs Senate Passes Defense Bill

The Senate passed S. 4049, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (NDAA). This legislation includes a VFW-supported provision to add bladder cancer, hypothyroidism and Parkinson’s Disease to the list of presumptive conditions associated with exposure to Agent Orange. The scientific community concurs that sufficient evidence exist to link these three conditions. The VFW urges the House and Senate to keep this provision in the final version of the NDAA.

North Shore Hebrew Academy Students Return To School North Shore Hebrew Academy High School (NSHAHS) enthusiastically opened its doors to the new school year on Sept. 9. Returning to school after six long months, students were delighted to reunite with friends and teachers and eager to take on new challenges and experiences.

Who would have thought just how much we would miss school? From the beginning of the pandemic and amidst much uncertainty, NSHAHS’ priority was to keep students and teachers safe and it acted accordingly.

NSHAHS seamlessly transitioned to remote learning, teachers helped with adjustments and students continued to learn in engaging classes despite our newfound situation.

The entire staff at NSHAHS has been working tirelessly for our safe return to school. Based on guidance from the New York State Department of Health, the CDC, and the school’s medical consultant, Dr. Sharon Nachman, NSHAHS developed health and safety protocols to provide a safe, secure and supportive environment for all. Some of the safety protocols include requiring students, faculty,

staff and visitors to wear masks at all times, conducting daily health screenings, and following the correct procedures for handling possible and confirmed COVID-19 exposures. For now, NSHAHS has implemented a hybrid model of instruction. Students have been divided into two groups, with one group attending virtual classes Mondays and Wednesdays, the other group attending Tuesdays and Thursdays, and with each group alternating Fridays. In-person learning will be conducted in a manner consistent with social distancing rules. Classrooms will be thoroughly cleaned each evening, with whole room cleaning devices specialized to

reach every corner and crevice.

Although this may sound overwhelming, I am sure everything will be second nature soon enough and the school year will be challenging and exciting. I would like to personally welcome our new freshman class; I have no doubt you will quickly navigate, adjust and love high school in no time.

I am excited to share the 2020-21

school year and its opportunities with you all. I know it will be a unique but fabulous year full of learning and growing. With the High Holy Days just around the corner, I’d like to wish everyone a Shanah Tovah U’Metukah and wish you all the best for a safe and healthy New Year and new school year.

NEIGHBORS IN THE NEWS County Executive Laura Curran recently presented Orlence “Dan” Orvis of Garden City with a Nassau County Citation in celebration of his 100th birthday celebration and heroic bravery during his 30 years of service to the FDNY as a Battalion Chief. Orvis was joined by his family in the celebration, which included a parade conducted by the local fire department.

Curran honored Orvis for his legacy of service—first deferring his appointment to the FDNY to volunteer in the U.S. Navy during WWII, and then returning to serve the City of New York for 30 years in the FDNY during a period of tremendous crisis when fires were raging every day.

Orvis retired as a Battalion Chief in charge of the 44th Battalion in Brooklyn after a roof collapsed on him and paralyzed one side of his body during a rescue attempt. Thankfully, he fought back and would eventually recover.

Nassau County Legislator Joshua Lafazan (D—Woodbury) partnered with Project Angel Island to donate hundreds of reusable masks to the Grenville Baker Boys and Girls Club on Thursday, Aug. 20. Lafazan and Iris Fan, leader of the Jericho High Schoolbased student philanthropic organization, delivered the masks to the Bayville Community Center, where the Grenville Baker Boys and Girls Club is based.

“Thank you so much to Nassau County Legislator Josh Lafazan and Project Angel Island for this generous donation of safety gear for our staff and members,” Melissa Rhodes, director of programs and professional development for the Grenville Baker Boys and Girls Club, said. “As we embark on the reopening of our after-school program in September,

these masks and gloves will be instrumental in keeping everyone safe and healthy so that we can focus on our mission to provide highly engaging learning and mentoring opportunities for our kids and teens.”

“We’d like to extend a huge thank you to Legislator Josh Lafazan for helping us coordinate this donation,” Fan said. “Our team was inspired to create reusable masks to provide a more sustainable option for civilians, while leaving medical grade masks for healthcare professionals back in March. Now, we’re glad to have the opportunity to donate supplies to the Grenville Boys & Girls Club. The health and safety of our community come September is an important cause to us as students, and we hope our masks can help accomplish this.”

Do You Have Stress Brought On By The Pandemic?

If so, here is a step-by-step process to help you get back on track

BY EMILY SAUCHELLI

E

esauchelli@antonnews.com

ver feel that stress is too much to bear? Has the pandemic made you feel even worse than you did before? Well, you are not alone.

According to The American Psychological Association’s Stress in America report, U.S. adults have experienced an average stress level of 5.9 out of 10, due to the pandemic. In the survey, U.S. adults experienced a general stress rate of 5.4, compared to the 2019 Stress in America survey, which found U.S. adults experiencing a general stress rate of 4.9.

Theresa Rauh-Hoell, who is a certified expert in the field of stress management, said the first step in stress management is to recognize that you may have symptoms of stress.

“It’s just a matter of recognizing when our anxiety is within a normal range or when maybe certain circumstances trigger our anxiety to maybe overreact and we have to manage that,” she said. “There’s a part of it that comes from within; you have to know yourself. If you don’t know yourself and you’re just feeling overwhelmed by it that’s when I would say that maybe going to therapy [is good], so you can have a better understanding of your process and your experience with anxiety so that you can manage it.”

The American Psychological Association’s Stress in America report cited 67 percent of parents are stressed due to self-isolating. RauhHoell said people should stray away from being alone during this time as it can lead to an increase in stress.

“I feel like what COVID-19 did, is brought on a lot of isolation,” she said. “Human beings are social. We need people. We need to be around people. Even when we hate them and wish we were in a lake house alone somewhere, we need people. This isolation and not seeing other people or only the people in our household is not good for us. With technology right now, we have so many more options available to us to be somewhat social.

Different apps that we can connect and see people and family and friends that we haven’t been able to see, and

U.S. adults have an average stress level of 5.9 out of 10 due to the pandemic. (Photo courtesy of Pixabay) that recharges us in a way that we don’t even realize until we’ve done it.”

Staying healthy is another step that people can do, even at home, to help manage their stress. Rauh-Hoell said exercise and nutrition are keys to living a life that is less stressful.

“Everybody can exercise at home right now,” she said. “Nobody wants to admit it, but you can. We can all do push-ups and crunches. Take walks safely with a mask, so there are things. Yoga’s great. If you’re drinking Starbucks all day, you’re going to be gyrating and anxious about everything. Also, chocolate and sugars are going to mess you up. Monster drinks too. All that is awful. We have to be aware of what we are putting into our bodies.”

Rauh-Hoell said recreational activities are becoming popular as the pandemic has limited activities that can be done outside the home.

“More and more people are telling me that they are doing puzzles, having game nights with their families and actually having conversations instead of plopping on a couch and zoning out, which is what people were doing before COVID-19,” she said. “I see more and more people outside playing and on bikes and walks than I have seen in years.”

The American Psychological Association’s Stress in America report cited parental stress for those with children under the age of 18 is 6.7.

The report also said that 55 percent of parents feel that their child has been acting out since the pandemic.

Rauh-Hoell said it’s important for parents to know the stress signs in their children.

“Usually a kid that’s stressed out is going to tell you that their belly hurts more often than not,” she said. “They don’t even understand what stress is.

As a parent, you have to know your child and you have to recognize that too. Maybe it isn’t that they ate too much or are hungry and that’s what’s bothering them. If they keep reporting that their stomach is bothering them, it’s probably anxiety and stress.

They feed off of the adults too. As an adult and as a parent, it’s airplane rules. You have to put the mask on yourself first and then you can help the kids around you. If you’re not in the physically and mentally healthiest place, you’re not going to be able to help anyone else. I think parents should model the behavior of how to take care of yourself because it is a stressful time.”

Breathing is one technique that Rauh-Hoell recommends everyone

can do to manage their stressors. She said stress is both a physical condition as much as it is a mental one.

“There’s this natural tendency to tighten up,” she explained. “Our shoulders just go right to our ears.

That’s why stress causes so many physical issues, muscle spasms, tension in our neck, upper back and our lower back. It manifests physically if we don’t get a hold of it mentally.

Take nice, deep breaths. You can do that anywhere. Doing that for a few minutes is very helpful.”

For those who have not addressed their stress concerns to a professional, Rauh-Hoell gave some advice.

“Just like anything else, the unknown is scary to anybody,” she said. “It’s something new. It’s okay not wanting to do it and not being 100 percent comfortable. That’s also part of life. We have to go to a doctor, we have to take care of ourselves, eat well, we have to exercise, we have to do things to keep us healthy and that sometimes isn’t fun. Anything that we’ve not done before would be scary.

That’s normal. It’s okay to be scared.

That’s when you grow the most.”

How Much Added Sugar Are You Consuming?

New book offers a guide for healthy alternatives

BY EMILY SAUCHELLI

Q A

esauchelli@antonnews.com

Why did you want to co-author a book about sugar?

It’s really a growing concern.

About 75 to 80 percent of the packaged foods that we eat contain added sugars. Largely, those come from five main forces. Those are things like soda, coffee drinks and tea drinks, obviously you know you have your sweets. Even things such as cereal and granola bars. I think it’s really important for consumers to know where these sugars are coming into their diet so that they can cut back. Added sugars can really take a toll on your health. Liquid added sugar, such as those from sugary beverages, such as soft drinks and coffee drinks are especially harmful.

Well, now you can and it’s way simpler than you might think. Samantha Cassetty is a co-author of Sugar Shock: The Hidden Sugar in Your Food and 100+ Ways to Cut Back, who said nutrition is not as hard as people make it seem to be.

“There’s this idea that nutrition has to be really complicated, confusing and time consuming,” Cassetty said.

“I think the wellness industry has sort of co-opted what healthy eating is and it can be much easier than it’s sometimes made to seem.”

show up on a food label. In terms of replacements, now we are going to talk about products versus those individual sweeteners. You always want to compare labels. You want to look at both the added sugars, which is now a lot easier to detect on a food label, because they state it. You also want to see ingredients because you know the nutrition facts panel, looking at the added sugars, looking at serving size, that’s only giving you a piece of the picture. You don’t know the quality of the food if you’re not looking at the ingredients. In terms of the swaps, I would suggest something fizzy like a Spindrift with a splash of juice. It is a bubbly seltzer, carbonated water. It comes in flavors like blackberry, raspberry and lemon. These contain no added sugars; they contain a splash of 100 percent fruit juice so it’s giving you that bubbly sweet flavor, but in a much healthier way. If you’re consuming sweetened cereal, there’s a couple things that I would suggest. One is that you can mix it with an unsweetened cereal to cut the sugar starting with whatever mix or ratio is tolerable to you and then, gradually reducing that down till you’re about 25 percent or less of the sweetened variety and 75 percent or more of the unsweetened, whole-grain, healthy variety or less sweetened variety.

Sugar Shock: The Hidden Sugar in Your Food and 100+ Ways to Cut Back, comes out on Sept. 15. The paperback version will be available for purchase at all major booksellers as well as on Amazon.com.

Abnormal Liver Tests Explained

T

Medication and the liver

he most common reason for abnormal liver tests in the United States are fatty liver and medication induced liver injury.

People with underlying liver diseases may be at greater risk of this but many times, abnormal liver tests can occur in people without any known liver conditions.

Potential medication effects on the liver are a constant concern for both patients and providers. No one wants to take or prescribe something that could potentially do harm. Almost all medications have a warning associated with them that tell the patient to inform the doctor if they have any liver disease. A careful read of most medication package inserts will list liver test abnormalities as a possible side effect.

What then is a practical approach to medications and the liver?

First and foremost, the vast majority of medications do not cause liver issues and are safe. 99 percent of the

THE SPECIALIST David Bernstein, MD

abnormal tests which are seen, are not clinically significant and resolve when the offending agent is discontinued.

Second, all medications, over-thecounter products and herbal products should only be taken when absolutely needed.

Third, it is important for prescribing doctors to be aware of all medications and over the counter products to ensure appropriate consideration is given to potential drug-drug interactions.

Fourth, patients must be aware of drug interactions when they take multiple over the counter and herbal medications without their doctor’s supervision.

Which common drugs come to mind when providers and patients become concerned about liver toxicity?

These concerns can usually be divided into three main classes or medications: prescription drugs, overthe-counter medications and herbal and natural products.

Many prescription medications can cause mild liver test abnormalities.

Some of these toxicities are dose dependent and many are idiosyncratic or unpredictable. Antibiotics are the most common class of drugs to cause abnormal liver tests. Rarely, certain antibiotics can cause chronic liver disease. Cholesterol lowering agents, such as statins, rarely cause significant abnormal liver tests. Usually, abnormal liver tests are found during the initial six months of therapy with a new drug. If liver tests are found to be elevated after more than six months of therapy, it is likely that something else is the cause.

Over-the-counter products commonly cause short-term liver test abnormalities and liver injury.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as indomethacin or naproxen and other anti-inflammatory agents such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) can cause abnormal liver tests and even jaundice if too many pills are taken or if pills are taken with alcohol. If taken in very large quantities, acetaminophen can lead to liver failure. Over-the-counter medications should only be taken for a few days

for symptomatic relief. If symptoms are not relieved, appropriate medical consultation should be obtained.

Over-the–counter medications that can cause liver injury are commonly found in many cold remedies, as well as fever and flu preparations. People should read the labels to learn what they are taking in order to avoid overdose and duplication of treatment and prevent toxicity.

The last major class of ingested agents are complementary or alternative therapies such as herbal products, vitamins, or minerals. While the vast majority of these products are safe, many still can cause liver damage. Technically, these products are classified as foods not medications. So, they are not subjected to the same standard of safety testing required of prescription medications.

A simple rule of thumb should apply to the use of these products. Take them only as needed, avoid taking multiple products as these products may interfere or enhance absorption of prescribed medications and make sure to read the labels carefully so as not to take any known liver toxic agents.

So, what are the most important take home messages regarding medications and the liver?

First, 99 percent of therapies are liver safe. Second, know what you are taking, and if you have any questions, ask your doctor. Thirdly, only take what you absolutely need.

Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth announced that the independent Wall Street bond rating agency Moody’s Investors Service has again assigned a Aaa rating to $9.2 million public improvement serial bonds.

Additionally, it assigned a MIG 1 rating to the town’s $15 million Bond Anticipation Notes—2020 Series C. Moody’s noted the rating outlook was in response to “conservative fiscal management practices, which will support continued healthy operating performance and maintenance of a strong financial position.” The town has maintained an Aaa rating by Moody’s since 2016. Aaa is the highest

rating a municipality can obtain.

“The town maintaining an Aaa rating is the result of the outstanding efforts of my financial team to ensure that tax dollars are budgeted conservatively and that debt is managed,” Bosworth said. “We appreciate that our hard work was reflected in this positive affirmation from Moody’s.”

Moody’s report also noted: • The town has a healthy financial position with a manageable debt burden with above average fixed costs.

NEIGHBORS IN THE NEWS Six Syosset South Woods Middle School students organized and ran their own pandemic friendly lemonade stand on Monday, in front of the Syosset Post Office on Queens Street.

They sold ice cold water, lemonade and unique Syosset branded masks in red and black. Their efforts are branded under the name “Lemon-aid” and run by them. All of the proceeds are going to Island Harvest and their efforts to help families in need across the island during the pandemic.

Julia Elmoraly, a Syosset resident entering the seventh grade at South Woods Middle School this school year, was pioneering the efforts. “It has kind of been like a childhood dream to run a lemonade stand or yard sale,” Elmoraly said. “It felt good to be able to give someone a lemonade or water on a hot day and have the money go towards a good cause.”

Other participants were Penelope Smith, Saisha Puri, Madison Shum, Tiffany Wong, Riley Shafritz, and Julia’s siblings, Ryan Elmoraly and Noah Elmoraly.

The donations will go toward Island Harvest’s COVID-19 response and recovery program. Since the outbreak began, Island Harvest help put food on the table for the most vulnerable neighbors.

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the town board held a special ‘Women of Distinction’ ceremony to recognize exceptional women who have significant contributions to our community. This year’s ‘Women of Distinction’ honorees included Dr. Gina Najaj of Hicksville.

“These extraordinary individuals all have something special about them that deserves recognition,” Saladino said. “While they all have different outstanding qualities that make our Women of Distinction Committee members select them as honorees, they all have one thing in common—these women all do what they do without the expectation of any recognition.”

“Our committee had a particularly difficult task of narrowing down the nominees this year,” Councilwoman Laura Maier added . “Gina should take pride in her great achievements as she is a true role model in our community.”

Bajaj is a practicing optometrist, one who has spent multiple hours volunteering in her quest to become a medical professional—all of which helped to benefit those in need. She has performed vision screenings in shelters, spent time coordinating fundraisers and charity walks, spent time with elderly patients at nursing homes—all while completing her doctorate in one of the top optometry colleges in the nation.

Cellulite occurs because of circumstances beyond your control, which can make this dimpling of the skin on the thighs and buttocks especially frustrating. The Cellulaze™ Procedure targets the bands of connective tissue to dramatically reduce the indentations that appear on the skin’s surface. The procedure begins with the administration of a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. Next, Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg makes two very tiny incisions, each about the size of the tip of an ink pen. The Cellulaze™ laser fibers are threaded through a cannula (a very small tube) that is inserted through the incision site. The laser releases the bands of connective tissue and levels the larger bumps of fat. Meanwhile, the thermal energy produced by the laser stimulates collagen production (collagen is a group of natural

proteins that give skin its youthful elasticity). During this process, some of the fat cells will liquefy, and they will be gently pressed out from beneath the skin. In total, the Cellulaze™ procedure typically takes between one and one-and-a-half hours to complete. Cellulaze™ is a procedure that involves very little downtime.

Ninety-three percent of patients who have undergone Cellulaze™ have reported being satisfied with their results. Further studies have shown that after a year, Cellulaze™ patients achieve 25 percent thicker skin and 29 percent more skin elasticity.

Living with cellulite can be incredibly frustrating.

Diet and exercise cannot reduce cellulite.

Liposuction and non-invasive procedures like Coolsculpt and Emsculpt trim down fat, tone and reshape your body, but can’t get rid of cellulite. Fortunately, Cellulaze™ is helping many patients to achieve dramatic, long-lasting cellulite reduction. Don’t wait any longer to start feeling confident and beautiful in your own skin.

Bringing Bigfoot To The Masses Man versus nature at center of new Max Brooks novel

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

Bigfoot. Say the name and the reaction you get will range from outright derision with the word hoax being liberally thrown around to people who honestly believe there is a bipedal ape-like creature roaming the North American forest with a specific concentration in the Pacific Northwest.

In Max Brooks’ new novel, Devolution: A Firsthand Account of The Rainier Sasquatch Massacre, the cryptid plays a major role in this story about a fictional tech-driven community called Greenloop that winds up becoming isolated in a remote part of Washington State after nearby Mount Rainier erupts and strands the residents.

But to call Brooks’ latest project a Bigfoot book is an oversimplification. The California resident masterfully weaves in heavily researched perspectives on society’s over-reliance on technology, the clash caused by development encroaching on nature, compost-driven horticulture, primate behavior and even the Balkan genocide of the ’90s. And it all stemmed from Brooks’ obsession with this controversial subject dating back to childhood.

“This fascination started with fear of Sasquatch as a kid,” Brooks explained. “Just being a Gen-Xer growing up during the first wave of Sasquatch mania and watching shows like In Search Of, Mysterious Monsters and all of these faux documentaries and being absolutely terrified and never having that leave me. I always wanted to write a Bigfoot book. But it was only when I got older and figured out how to do what I was doing and knew the right way to write this, which was to talk about the big stuff that I’m also fascinated by like supply chains.

And trying to anthropomorphize nature and how people are not ready for disaster. I put it all as the backdrop because I found the best way to educate people is to tell them a story—don’t lecture ‘em.”

The plot is driven by the journals of resident Kate Holland, which were recovered from the town’s bloody wreckage. An investigative reporter with the surname Morgan drives the story along by interspersing diary entries with research on the subject and extensive interviews with forestry department first responders. But what makes this all so compelling is that were you to swap out blizzard, flood or hurricane for Bigfoot,

the degree of unpreparedness would be no less realistic, particularly given the benign spin pop culture tries to put on nature.

“This is the problem I have with urbanites trying to anthropomorphize nature,” Brooks said. “With many of my experiences, I’ve seen human beings bringing their [Disney-informed] knowledge of nature into the real wilderness and people get killed. Think about in our regular life as children, how many of us were bitten by dogs that we tried to hug? It was only after some of us got half our faces bitten off that somebody told us you never put your face in a strange dog’s face. We think it’s cute. We think we’re in a Disney movie and the dog thinks it’s under attack. That’s the disconnect I was going for.”

Not unlike fellow late novelists Michael Crichton and Tom Clancy (a major Brooks influence), fact-driven probing is what defines the 48-year-old author’s creative approach, a trait that has carried over to prior projects like World War Z, The Zombie Survival Guide and Minecraft: The Island. This analytical intellectual rigor has also led to his holding dual fellowships at the Atlantic Council’s Brent Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security and the Modern War Institute at West Point. For everything he’s written, Brooks admits that “...research always takes 10 times as long as the writing does. I have to do people learning...book learning... and field research.” For Devolution, he ventured into

the Rainier area to see how treacherous the terrain was (“I had to go to the place where I planted my fictional Greenloop and see if my characters could walk out. If you can walk out, then I don’t have a book.”), planted an indoor garden like his characters did and monitored how long it took to grow (“my fear was writing about the shoots coming up in the book when these shoots wouldn’t have come up for another two weeks”) and creating makeshift arms (“I had to physically make some of the weapons to see if they’d be makable with some of the tools our characters would have at their disposal.”)

While Brooks has not had a Sasquatch encounter, he’s not ready to outright dismiss its existence.

“I’m with Jane Goodall—I will believe in Sasquatch when I see the physical evidence,” he said. “But until I see that evidence, my scientific research has taught me there’s no reason Sasquatch couldn’t or wouldn’t exist.

For the longest time, European explorers in Africa heard about these monsters from the natives. But of course, they dismissed these stories before eventually discovering the gorilla. Where I am in Southern California, at our natural history museum, there is a prehistoric fish as big as my bed that was hauled out of the ocean near Catalina Island that’s millions of years old living in the ocean depths. So we’re not done yet.”

Village Hall, 1200 Old Northern Blvd., Roslyn, New York 11576 To consider the following: Case No.: 1696 Shabbir Adib 24 Lumber Road Section 6, Block 53, Lot 947 There currently exists a 2 story non-conforming office/warehouse space at this location. The applicant is seeking to alter the 2nd floor office space and construct 2 two-bedroom residential unit and 1 one-bedroom residential unit. They are also proposing converting the existing office space at the ground floor into 2 two-bedroom residential unit and 1 one-bedroom residential unit. They are also proposing the elimination of the warehouse space and converting that area into office space (2,858 sf).

The apartments and office space would require 30 off street parking spaces, (11.4 parking spaces for the offices, 7 spaces for the office employees and 11 spaces for the residential units), A prior variance legalized the 15 on-site non-compliant parking spaces.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

This age will bring you bright insights and subsequent plot changes as you follow new creative visions into a different style of being. In many ways, you are lighter, taking many things less seriously, though doubling down on the importance of things like family, physical health and doing what’s necessary to make your life easier and more productive. Family additions, possibly in pet form, and the expansion of personal assets will be features of 2021.

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 20 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You could say “past mistakes,” or you could instead say “past behaviors” and leave out the air of judgment. After all, you were doing your best and learning what works, just like you’re doing now. When you judge yourself, you’re buying into someone else’s opinion -- probably an old one you heard long ago.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s easier to make decisions from calm spaces that provide a neutral backdrop and the best “lighting” (whether physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual or other) for your particular choices. Such environments can be rare. You’ll experience and take advantage of the opportunity within them this week.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Feelings come in clusters. Joy can spark playfulness, and then curiosity, and then wonder. Sadness can spark anger, hurt, shame. Some small feelings spiral into bigger ones. Your emotional intelligence will allow you to dance with all that’s happening, sidestepping known triggers, inviting your favorite partners, too.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Those who know you well might observe a wild glint in your eye because you’re cooking something up. The funny part is that you are sometimes not even aware of your complete idea until you’re already acting on it. When it works out, it will be because your intent is pure and in line with the highest good for all.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Instead of worrying whether the end justifies the means, just forget about the end. Focus fully on how you’re doing things, the spirit in which you approach it, the goodness in your intent. Truly, the outcome won’t make a bit of difference. What matters is making the most loving choice you know how to make in the moment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s not that people are willfully working at cross-purposes to your own. They just happen to be traveling the same road, coming from the opposite direction and headed to where you’ve already been. Nothing is inevitable about this. You don’t have to crash, scrape or stall in impasse. Stay alert. Grace is possible.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your confidence is below what it could be, considering all you’ve accomplished to get where you are. Often, posturing is irrelevant to your dealings, but this week, swagger matters. A little ego goes a long way. Showing you know your value will bring to you the reward you deserve.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Probably, you cannot change how you feel, but you can change what comes next -- namely, your behavior. Automatic reactions can be curbed, retrained, approached differently. Different courses of action are considered and new habits formed. That’s what you’ll work on, and be tremendously successful in, this week.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The first time you talk to a potential (fill in the blank, friend/boss/client/partner) it’s going to be both thrilling and nerve-wracking. Because you’re willing to bear that type of adrenaline surge, all kinds of opportunities will open up for you, most notably, the chance to dive into a powerful attraction.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The obvious points of contention will be a gift. Once you understand where the disagreement lies, you can get creative.

You’re not fighting against each other so much as the rigid perspectives that keep you gridlocked. What happens when you assume you are on the same side?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You want to set things right, but how should you approach it? Resolve inner conflict, and you’ll create peace with others.

Or, seek peace with others, and something will click internally for you to create a sense of calm acceptance. Any way you go, you’ll get there, so the only way to go wrong is not to go at all.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The fictional story ends with a happily-ever-after. The real story is a series of happily-momentarily scenarios, between interludes of normal life, contentedness, neutrality and, here’s hoping, not too many plunges into darker tones. Keeping reasonable expectations of relationships will help matters enormously this week.

If You Build It, They Will Come

BY JOSEPH WOLKIN jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

A

nyone going to Canada in the winter needs to bundle up. The brisk cold air is no joke.

But years later, New York Islanders co-owner Jon Ledecky and Tim Leiweke, CEO of the Oak View Group, are laughing about their experience in Montreal.

“I was in Toronto,” Leiweke said, recalling the experience a year or so after Ledecky and Scott Malkin became majority owners of the Islanders.

“They made me come out to Montreal. I went from freezing cold to freaking freezing cold.

To this day, I’ve never let him down on that story and how they made me go to Montreal in the middle of the dead of winter to freeze with them.”

The trio spent a night in a boutique hotel, when it was roughly negative 20 degrees. “Not only was it like 20 degrees below zero when Tim showed up, but he pulled up to this room where he had to wear his overcoat for the entire meeting,” Ledecky said. “It was one of those great moments.”

This is the start of what would eventually be coined the UBS Arena at Belmont Park, a multi-year, multi-million dollar project that will essentially turn Belmont into a one-of-a-kind area. It also marked the start of Leiweke’s organization, which now has more than 300 employees who are working on several arena projects.

UBS recently signed a 20-year deal to be the official title sponsor of the 19,000-seat arena, reportedly worth an estimated $17.5-18 million annually.

“UBS is one of the largest naming right deals ever done for an arena, in particular, for an NHL arena,” Leiweke said.

“It’s an international brand, which was important to us because we plan on being one of the busiest arenas in the world.”

“It’s a great design exercise and the Islanders fans deserve their own home,” Ledecky said. “In terms of the design, we wanted to have all of the elements of Nassau Coliseum, with the intimacy of the ice and the bowl. When Alexander Ovechkin and I were at a wedding together, he said, ‘Wow, I love playing in your building because the fans are right on top of it. I love the noise of them cheering at me or yelling at me. It inspires me.’ We want to have part of that brought over from Nassau to the UBS Arena.”

Ledecky rolled out the UBS Arena Preview Club in Manhattan to show sponsors, executives and suite owners what life will be like in Belmont. It is indeed spectacular. The club is designed to be nearly identical to what it will look like in Belmont, except the Belmont experience will be bigger and even better.

From endless memorabilia to 24-inch seats, a scale model version of the arena and, of course, four Stanley Cups for everyone to take pictures with, it feels like an out-of-body experience. And the host? Well, it’s Ledecky himself, alongside a group of dedicated Islanders employees.

“We want to make the place unique,” Ledecky said.

“Externally, as you can see in our Preview Club, it’s a salute

The Islanders have a special UBS Arena Preview Club in Manhattan to show what the Belmont Park experience will be like for those in a luxury box. to the beginnings and origins of Belmont Park all the way through to the bar area, which is a salute to the King Cole Bar at The St. Regis Hotel.”

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the ownership group is already brainstorming ways to keep fans safe in 2021, when the UBS Arena at Belmont Park will see its firsts guests.

“The management and construction team have done a phenomenal job as to sanitization for our workers,” Leiweke said of the ongoing construction. “We’re extremely focused on the 600 people we have on site now to protect their wellness, health and safety. We’re geared with our architects, construction folks, Sterling, our project management team, as well as outside consultant groups as to what we’re going to do for health and wellness when it comes to

operating the building.”

The Islanders joined the Wellness Academy, which will create a set of minimum standards for the arena in terms of sanitization.

“You’ll see some technology, for example, Amazon built a concept where people can grab and go and never have to go to a point of purchase or a register to check out,” Leiweke, who also created the Staples Center in Los Angeles, said. “We’re thinking of how to have better purification of our air for the purpose of sanitization. Clearly, in addition to having a janitorial company come in and clean after every event, we’ll have a sanitization crew come in and sanitize after every event. If you listen to the smart people, what we’ll probably see when we open this building is sanitization and the convenience

of the customer in using technology, thinking about air circulation.”

With safety enhancements in mind, the arena is still on pace to open for the 2021 NHL season. However, what makes this group extremely excited is the potential UBS Arena has outside of the Islanders.

In addition to creating a home for Long Island’s hockey club, the UBS Arena is set to take center stage for plenty of concerts, just like Nassau Coliseum. For the performers heading over to Belmont, they’ll have their own locker room and so much more right next to their entrance. It’s all about creating a one-stop-shop for hockey and entertainment.

The creation of a new stadium, combined with a team in the heart of the NHL playoffs, is leading the Islanders’ ticket sales to reach all-new highs.

The demand for tickets at UBS Arena is increasing as the Islanders’ success on the ice, led by head coach Barry Trotz and general manager Lou Lamoriello, means less than 20 percent of season tickets are still available for the 202122 season. The team expects premium inventory to be sold out by early 2021.

No matter how successful the Islanders are, fans will certainly see Ledecky on the Long Island Rail Road and walking around the UBS Arena for years to come. With input from players, the coaching staff, music executives and fans, the UBS Arena is poised to become one of the most popular venues in the nation.

“The great thing for me on Long Island is you go to a game and you meet a grandfather, his son and his grandchild,” he said. “On some occasions, I’ve met four generations. You don’t get to feel that emotion if you sit up high.”
