The Sarah Grace Foundation Continues Spreading Hope

Still helping families 20 years later

Despite many challenges this year, The Sarah Grace Foundation For Children With Cancer, Inc., has continued in the pursuit of their mission continuing to fulfill its core goal of supporting children and their families during cancer treatment.

The Hicksville organization continues to reimagine fundraising through virtual platforms and is planning the return of in-person events beginning in 2023, just in time for their 20th anniversary. The Foundation continues to reach out to new and previous corporate and private donors as well as researching grants to help sustain the many programs sponsored in support of children with cancer. Despite the current economy, many donors still contributed what they could to support the Foundation’s cause, generously allowing the Foundation to continue their work at a time when it is needed more than ever. The Foundation recently concluded its annual Holiday Extravaganza fundraiser that provides for holiday programs of toys, gift cards and financial aid to children and their families. The holiday raffle raised just over $5,000 towards holiday programs. In the spring the Foundation held its second “Hugs For Sarah” Virtual 5k which raised an additional $6,000 and is currently planning its next 5K which will be a combination virtual and in-person event. The Foundation’s staple fundraiser for 16 years was its annual “Night of Laughter” which was shelved during the pandemic. The Sarah Grace team is currently exploring innovative ways to bring back this event.

Thanks to a hardworking team of dedicated volunteers the Sarah Grace

Foundation continues to fulfill its mission. Core programs such as “The Escape Hatch”, “The Bead Program”, “Gabe’s Chemo Duck”, “Sarah Grace’s Book Angels” and financial aid for meals, transportation, household expenses, funeral expenses and more have been able to continue. “The pediatric cancer centers we partner with depend on the services and assistance we can provide,” Foundation President Matthew Weippert said. “We’ve always done whatever we can to provide for these children and their families. We felt the financial strain, we lived it and have walked in their shoes and have an obligation to

ease their pain.”

As the back to school season approached, the Foundation was able to distribute backpacks filled with school supplies to pediatric cancer centers throughout the area. At Halloween the Foundation continued its tradition of providing over 550 Halloween trickor-treat goodie bags to children with cancer. Due to health reasons, certain hospitals could not accept food products, so instead the Foundation provided fall craft projects for the children.

For its annual toy drive this year, the Foundation continued to think outside the box. The extreme need for these families has not diminished, but has instead increased as a result of the economy. Throughout November and December, the Foundation was fortunate to receive toy donations through drives at Ray Leventhal Clothing in Plainview, Hicksville Middle School, online toy drives and generous donations from the community. “Our Foundation, along with the children and families we serve, is forever indebted to the generosity of these organizations and all of those involved,” stated Weippert. “Coordinating a toy drive may seem like an easy task, but it is not. Many hours go into planning, organizing and implementing its success. This could not have succeeded without Sarah’s Angels facilitating toy pickups, sorting and shipping. Gift certificates are great, but the smile on a child’s face when they unwrap a toy is priceless,” Weippert said, adding, “The Foundation remains committed to the children we have served for over 19 years and is extremely grateful for the continued support the community has provided.” Weippert continued, “When

a child has cancer, the family has cancer, and the financial strain on the family is difficult regardless of income. In many cases a parent is forced to leave work to care for the sick child and this exacerbates the financial strain, this is where the Sarah Grace Foundation is able to provide financial support.”

The Foundation continues to work on ideas for additional programs that will support these children who want to be children, not patients in a hospital. Having a serious illness is devastating for anyone, but even more so for a child with cancer. “We are the stewards of your generosity and can only be successful through your kindness and generosity,” said Weippert. “No child or family should face their treatment alone.”

2023 is a very important year for The Sarah Grace Foundation as it marks the 20th anniversary of supporting children with cancer and their families. “This anniversary is a milestone in that it is difficult to believe we have been doing this for 20 years, but even more difficult to accept that our angel, Sarah, has been gone from us that long,” said Matt Weippert. “This is not a celebration, but a commemoration of a young life cut too short, and a recognition of all the positive things being done in Sarah’s memory.”

For more information on The Sarah Grace Foundation please call (516) 4339745 or visit the Foundation’s website at www.TheSarahGraceFoundation.org. Donations or requests for information may be sent to the Foundation at 17 E. Old Country Road, Unit B, PMB 202, Hicksville, NY 11801

Looking Back At January 6

years after the historic Capitol insurrection, a quick review of consequences and rhetoric that have followed

ANTON MEDIA GROUP STAFF

editors@antonmediagroup.com

When rioters stormed the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, a joint session of Congress was assembled to count electoral votes certifying President-elect Joseph Biden’s victory.

People around the country and world watched, often via social media livestreams picked up by major news networks, as hundreds rushed the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., where they took selfies and looted in evacuated rooms and left behind a trail of violence and confusion that Americans and their elected officials are still sorting through today.

Two busy years later, some of the outcomes from that day are quite clear. Others are still being processed, and still other effects seem to remain up in the air, almost entirely unsettled. Such is the case nationally, as well as here in Nassau County, which had plenty of its own ties to events that day.

The Facts

Thousands of supporters of then-President Donald Trump gathered in the nation’s capitol to protest certification of Joe Biden’s election win.

In the aftermath, Congress reconvened to certify the election results. Five people died amid the riot, and more than a hundred law enforcement officers were reportedly injured; several officers also later died of suicide.

Hundreds have since been charged with crimes related to their activities at the Capitol that day, including at least 65 individuals who live in or predominantly frequent New York State, according to NPR and Insider. They also include numerous individuals from Nassau and Suffolk County communities, and several from New York City; many but not all of them are young or middle-aged men.

In October, for example, an East Williston man was charged with multiple crimes in relation to his actions at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. John O’Kelly, an attorney who previously served as a board member at the East Williston School District, was charged with multiple felonies and misdemeanors for his actions on Jan. 6, which allegedly include trying to take a police officer’s baton and shoving a barricade into a line of police.

In late December, the congressional committee investigating the Capitol assault voted to recommend that the U.S. Justice Department pursue the prosecution

of former president Trump on four charges, based on the available evidence: Obstruction of an official proceeding; Conspiracy to defraud the United States; Conspiracy to make a false statement; and Inciting, assisting, aiding, or comforting an insurrection. BBC News called the vote to recommend those charges “largely symbolic.”

A number of Nassau County officials were also on hand that historic day, including now-outgoing Congresswoman Kathleen Rice and Congressmen Tom Suozzi, Lee Zeldin, and Andrew Garbarino.

“When people asked if it was as bad as it was on TV, I said it was worse,” Garbarino told Anton Media Group roughly two weeks after the insurrection. “You had a lot of people there demonstrating for whatever reason they believed and you had a couple of hundred people who turned the whole thing into an attack on the Capitol. It’s sad, because these tens of thousands of other people just wanted to be heard. And now, they won’t be, because the assault on the Capitol tainted every concern they had. That’s who I feel bad for—the people who wanted somebody to listen to them. They wanted to be heard. And now, they’ll forever be tainted with this.”

Congressman-elect George Santos, who has become the subject of national scrutiny in recent days over allegedly fabricated core details in his public biography, was also in Washington, D.C. that day. Following his own unsuccessful run for office in 2020 back in New York, Santos attended Trump’s “Stop the Steal” rally in D.C.’s presidential park on Jan. 6, 2021, according to Santos, and later claimed that he donated money to bail out arrestees.

The Rhetoric

Using the WayBack Machine, an online archive that takes screen shots of various websites everyday, Anton Media Group was able to see the way different news websites initially reported on the Jan. 6 event.

On the Fox News website, headlines on Jan. 7, 2021 included; “Woman shot during Capitol violence dies as curfew goes into effect; next steps in certification unclear;” “GOP rep who objected to election results condemns protestors breaching Capitol: ‘this is despicable;’” “‘This is a sad day for the country,’ says GOP lawmaker and veteran” and “Trump addresses violence, maintains election was ‘stolen.’”

On the CNN website, headlines on Jan. 7, 2021 included; “Congress to move ahead with vote count;” “US Capitol secured after rioters stormed the halls of Congress to block Biden’s win;” “Trump incites mob in violent end to presidency;” “Ivanka Trump calls rioters patriots, then deletes tweet;” and “George W. Bush derides US Capitol breach as ‘sickening and heartbreaking.’”

On June 10, 2022, a day after the Jan. 6 Committee hearings began, on Tucker Carlson Tonight, Carlson said “what we saw tonight was not a hearing, it was a show trial ... The whole thing was indecent. How many people were convinced by what they saw last night? Hmm… Right around zero. They’re not going to win a single vote.”

On the June 10, 2022 episode of Anderson Cooper, John Berman (who was standing in for Anderson Cooper) focused on a few aspects of the first Jan. 6 Committee Hearing, including the fact that former U.S. President Donald Trump said of his daughter Ivanka Trump’s testimony: “Ivanka Trump was not

involved in looking at, or studying, election results. She had long since checked out and was, in my opinion, only trying to be respectful to Bill Barr and his position as Attorney General (he sucked!).”

On Dec. 19, 2022, Rep. Bennie Thompson, chairman of the Jan. 6 Committee, stated, “To cast a vote in the United States is an act of faith and hope. When we drop that ballot in the ballot box, we expect the people named on the ballot are going to uphold that end of the deal. The winner swears an oath and upholds it. Those who come up short ultimately accept the results and abide by the rule of law. That faith in our system is the foundation of American democracy. If the faith is broken, so is our democracy. Donald Trump broke that faith. He lost the 2020 election and knew it. But he chose to try to stay in office through a multi part scheme. To overturn the results and block the transfer of power. In the end, he summoned a mob to Washington and knowingly they were armed and angry, pointed them to the Capitol and told them to ‘fight like hell.’ There’s no doubt about this.”

On that day, the Jan. 6 Committee referred criminal charges against Trump to the Department of Justice.

In Tucker Carlson’s three-part streaming feature Patriot Purge on the Fox Nation platform, Carlson argues that the events of Jan. 6 are being used for political persecution. In it, Carlson compares rhetoric around the ‘War on Terror’ that led to the war in Iraq to current rhetoric around the threat of domestic white supremacist terror: “They are tying white supremacist terrorists to Trump voters.”

Levittown Woman Indicted For Allegedly Stealing Over $150,000 Through

Guardianship

Luigia

Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly announced that a Levittown woman was indicted on charges of grand larceny for allegedly stealing more than $150,000 from a developmentally challenged man for whom she acted as legal guardian between July 2016 and June 2019.

Luigia, aka Gina D’Amore, 57, was arraigned before Judge Fran Ricigliano on one count of Grand Larceny in the Second Degree (a C felony); one count of Endangering the Welfare of an Incompetent or Physically Disabled Person in the First Degree (an E felony); and two counts of Offering a False Instrument for Filing in the First Degree (an E felony.) The defendant pleaded not guilty and was released on her own recognizance. She is due back in court February 15, 2023. If convicted, D’Amore faces up to five to 15 years in prison.

“This defendant befriended her alleged victim when they worked together for the Town of Hempstead, ultimately becoming his legal guardian after his retirement and taking control of the man’s finances,” said DA Donnelly. “For the next several years, this defendant allegedly siphoned more than $150,000 from her elderly victim’s accounts and failed to pay his bills, leaving him to live in a mouse-infested home. The residence fell into disrepair and was nearly lost due to non-payment of taxes. This charged conduct is reprehensible, and my office will ensure justice for the victim in this case.”

DA Donnelly said that, according to the charges and NCDA’s investigation, between July 2016 and June 2019, while serving as a court appointed guardian for the victim, a developmentally challenged Town of Hempstead Parks Department retiree, D’Amore allegedly stole more than $150,000 from the victim’s bank accounts without providing proof to the court that

the funds were used for the victim’s benefit as required as part of the guardianship.

The defendant allegedly skimmed checks she received on behalf of the victim, depositing portions of the checks into the victim’s account, and taking out the rest in cash. The defendant also allegedly made additional cash withdrawals from the victim’s banking accounts and wrote checks out to “cash” for tens of thousands of dollars that were negotiated through D’Amore’s personal account.

D’Amore failed to provide receipts for the cash withdrawals and checks when she submitted her accounting to the court as the victim’s guardian.

In addition, D’Amore allegedly failed to pay the victim’s utilities or for repairs to the home, leaving the property to fall into disrepair. The defendant also allegedly failed to pay property taxes on the home between 2018 and 2019, leading to a tax lien being placed on the victim’s home and the property nearly being auctioned in February 2020 for non-payment.

Before the defendant was removed, she resigned as the victim’s Guardian in April 2019.

D’Amore surrendered to Nassau County District Attorney Detective Investigators on December 16, 2022.

NCDA thanks the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) Bureau of Adult Services for referring this matter for prosecution.

The case is being prosecuted by Senior Investigative Counsel April Montgomery of the Financial Crimes Bureau. The defendant was represented by Tim Aldridge, Esq. at arraignment. The defendant is represented by Russ Kofman, Esq.

The charges are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless found guilty.

It’s almost competition season in eighth grade robotics classes at Seaford Middle School. After months of learning how to build and program robots, students are now working in groups to prepare for robot battles that will close out the semester.

Technology teacher Matthew Dolan explained that two robots will compete at a time on a playing field. The robots will have to knock down a tray, which will scatter a bunch of rings that can be gathered up and put through a goal post to earn points. Blue and green rings gain points, while red rings lose points so teams can try to reduce their opponents’ score in the two-minute challenges.

Each robot includes a claw so students can also earn points if their robots can climb a tower and hang from a yellow bar. The young engineers will continue working over the next few weeks before the competitions begin in January.

Eighth-graders are using Vex robotics kits, which include all of the building pieces and a digital instruction manual, and they are using their knowledge from the course to program all of the movements. Mr. Dolan said that this culminating activity emphasizes strategizing and teamwork through fun and friendly competition.

The Safe Center Celebrates Retirement Of Co-Founder Cindy Scott

The Safe Center, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit, the leading victim service organization in Nassau County, today marked the retirement of co-founding Executive Director Cindy Scott, and announcing the Cindy Scott Legacy Fund, to support future activities in her honor.

“I am honored and humbled to have been able to make a difference in the lives of so many forgotten and marginalized members of our communities,” said Ms. Scott. “I would like to thank our criminal justice, medical, and support service partners and our amazing team at The Safe Center for their dedication to survivors of interpersonal violence and their families that need all the support we can give them.”

As Executive Director of Coalition Against Child Abuse & Neglect, Cindy Scott opened the Nassau County Child Advocacy Center (CAC) in 1998, to function as a response to child sexual and severe physical abuse. It is a place where children and their families can come, assured that the allegations will be investigated in a supportive, trauma-informed manner.

Under her leadership the CAC has become a pillar of The Safe Center and serves as a model for New York State.

“There is no other CAC in the state that infuses the same level of services,” said Joshua Hanson, Succeeding Executive Director. “This is in large part owing to

Cindy’s tireless advocacy and focus on ensuring that our response is a model for others to follow.”

The fund in her honor will support the ongoing work of the CAC to ensure that it is able to remain a beacon of hope in our community for years to come.

“Cindy’s vision for the CAC to be an

innovative and collaborative model has resulted in thousands of children and families getting justice and healing,” said Debra Lyons, Succeeding Associate Executive Director.

“For decades, Cindy Scott has been a champion of the most vulnerable on Long Island. Through the Safe Center, Cindy

and her team have ensured that victims of abuse receive a coordinated response and trauma-informed services to help them heal in the aftermath of abuse,” said Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly.

“On behalf of everyone at the District Attorney’s office, we thank Cindy for her many years of service and wish her the very best in retirement.”

About The Safe Center

The Safe Center, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit, is the leading victim service organization in Nassau County, providing comprehensive and trauma-informed services for victims of interpersonal violence including domestic violence, child sexual and severe physical abuse, rape and sexual assault, human trafficking, and elder abuse. In 2014, The Safe Center was created by the merger of the Nassau County Coalition Against Domestic Violence (founded in 1978) and the Coalition Against Child Abuse & Neglect (founded in 1979). This merger created a highly integrated service model to empower victims of interpersonal violence to recover from their abuse. The Safe Center operates a 24-hour Hotline (516-542-0404) providing crisis intervention, access to services, and information and support. Visit https://www.tscli.org for more information.

Street Dedicated In Memory Of Massapequa Firefighter James W. Kennelly

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilman Thomas Hand, and Receiver of Taxes Jeffrey Pravato joined New York State Assemblyman Michael Durso to dedicate a stretch of roadway on Old Sunrise Highway in Massapequa in honor of Port Authority Police Officer James Kennelly. A true hometown hero, Officer Kennelly succumbed to 9/11 cancer and illness developed as a result of working at Ground Zero as a volunteer with the Massapequa Fire Department. James was the inspiration for the statue of a fireman saving a baby at the Massapequa Firefighter’s Memorial and will always be remembered as a true American Hero who bravely gave his life in service to others.

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino stated, “We remember the life of Port Authority Police Officer James Kennelly, who succumbed to 9/11 cancer and illness developed as a result of

working at Ground Zero as a volunteer with the Massapequa Fire Department.

James gave his life to save and service his fellow Americans, and for that, we will pay tribute to his brave and selfless service by renaming a stretch of roadway in his name

in Massapequa. James was a member of our Town of Oyster Bay family and worked for our Department of Public Safety where he exemplified an outstanding work ethic. We will forever miss him!”

“Recently, we had the privilege to

honor the memory of my good friend, Port Authority Police Officer Jimmy Kennelly, who died from 9/11 related cancer, at a street renaming in Massapequa,” added Assemblyman Michael Durso. “From this day forward, the stretch of roadway known as Old Sunrise Highway will be designated as Port Authority Police Officer James W. Kennelly Memorial Highway. Thank you to the Port Authority Police Department, Massapequa Fire Department, and Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino for helping make this event happen. And a special thank you to The Kennelly Family for their support.”

On May 23, 2022, legislation sponsored by Assemblyman Michael Durso authorized the renaming of Old Sunrise Highway in memory of James Kennelly. On September 9, 2022, the Governor of New York signed this legislation into law.

UBS Arena celebrates its first-year milestone

ANTON MEDIA GROUP STAFF

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Happy Birthday UBS Arena, the venue that was made for music and built for hockey. The state-of-the-art arena at Belmont Park in Elmont opened in November 2021 and has already welcomed numerous top artists including Sebastian Maniscalco, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, TWICE, The Eagles, John Mayer, Kendrick Lamar and Post Malone. Here are some of the highlights and successes the venue has had to date.

• Programming at UBS Arena has spanned a wide variety of genres including Latin, rock, pop, rap, R&B, K-pop, country, comedy, additional sports (wrestling, college basketball, figure skating) along with family show programming. With more than 100 events hosted in the first year, grossing more than $60 million, highlights include two Harry Styles concerts within the first six months of operation— both of which were immediate sellouts, along with an additional 16 full-house shows.

• Guest experience at UBS Arena is the highest priority, always evolving to make sure fans are provided a world class experience through service and amenities. One of the biggest successes of the year is the integration of the train via LIRR onto the campus. Elmont-UBS Arena, the first new LIRR Station built in nearly 50 years, offers fans the opportunity to have direct access to the venue. The station opened just ahead of the building’s official grand opening last year, but the unlocking of two-way service at the station began in early October 2022. This provides fans both eastbound and westbound service across the LIRR network to get to and from the venue. Various direct lines have access to the arena, including a 30-minute train ride from Penn Station and a 10-minute ride from Jamaica.

A Festive, Beautiful Show Filled With Talent

A review of Eglevsky Ballet’s ‘The Nutcracker’

On Sunday, Dec. 18 I brought my mother with me to watch the Eglevsky Ballet’s production of “The Nutcracker” at the Tilles Center for Performing Arts in Brookville. She had always told me about how she went to see “The Nutcracker” at Lincoln Center with my grandmother when she was young. And I thought it would be a beautiful thing to bring her with me.

I didn’t know what to expect, as I’ve never watched a ballet before, from what I can remember. But I was absolutely blown away.

The show began with the Park Avenue Chamber Symphony, led by David Bernard, playing an overture. It really set the tone for the show and brought about lots of anticipation for what’s to come.

What followed was the guests arriving to the Stahlbaum’s home for the annual holiday party. The set design was amazing, and all the dancers that filled the stage brought so much grace, including the children who did an excellent job. Each group, from Clara’s

Friends, to the Party Parents and the Party Children each brought their unique styles to the stage. My favorite part of this scene had to be when Herr Drosselmeyer, Clara’s beloved godfather, presented the Harlequin Doll, played by Omar Rodriguez, the Columbine Doll, played by Della Lin, and the Soldier Doll, played by Thierry Blanchard. I also loved the scene when the Maid, played Mari Takayama and Butler, played by Chris Loeschner danced.

After the party, Clara, played by Briana Laman, comes down with her nutcracker soldier she received from Herr Drosselmeyer, played by Lou Brockman, to sleep on the sofa by the Christmas tree, when the Rats and Mice famously entered, and a battle of the Captain of Soldiers, the Soldiers and the Nutcracker Prince between the Rats, Mice and the Rat King, played by Rodriguez and his Rat King Mini, played by Allison O’Lenick ensues. The sword battle between the Nutcracker Prince and the Rat King was thrilling and excellently choreographed by Maurice Brandon Curry. And I also have to say the effect of the Christmas tree growing in size was excellently done.

After the Nutcracker Prince, played by Ryan Cavaline, becomes just a prince; him and Clara dance beautifully together. “The Dance of the Snowflakes,” follows. It was

absolutely breathtaking, with snow falling on them as they waltzed around the stage. My mom whispered the name of the dance when it came on because she said it is iconic.

During the intermission, my mother and I went outside of the auditorium to discuss the show, and we both loved to see all the little girls attending trying their own ballet moves, inspired by what they saw on stage.

Act Two was also very impressive, beginning with a beautiful and vibrant dance of the Archangels, featuring costumes with colorful lights, and an adorable display by young Angels. The Sugar Plum Fairy, played by Miriam Miller, a soloist of the New York City Ballet, and Cavalier, played by Tyler Angle, a principal of the New York City Ballet, both put on breathtaking solos and duets throughout Act Two. As Clara and the Nutcracker Prince enjoy entertainment from worldly denizens of the “Land of Sweets,” the audience watched multiple performances with worldly inspiration. My favorite had to be the “Arabian” performance by Elisabeth Shim and the Arabian Attendants. I loved the use of the long, blue silk cloth that made it look like Shim was dancing on the sea. My only critique with Act Two as a whole is that I wish more was done with the set of “The Land of Sweets.”

Overall, with reading the synopsis of

“The Nutcracker,” all the dancers perfectly told the story through dance. I was captivated through out the whole show and left feeling delighted. My mother also had a wonderful time and called it a “lovely afternoon.”

And though the production has come to an end, you don’t have to wait a year to catch a show by the Eglevsky Ballet, as the company will be putting on the production of “Cinderella” on May 5 at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts at 7 p.m. For more information, visit eglevskyballet.org.

Reflecting On My 2022 Travels

JENNIFER CORR

This p ast year was the year for going to places whether I’ve been there or not, and whether locally or all across the country.

I started the year by going to the beach a lot, in the winter. I’d try to go once a week to walk around the meditate on the beach, and hopefully I’ll be able to start doing that again this year. Something about the beach in winter, and the cold sea air rushing towards your face, is so refreshing. Plus, you get to see deer roaming around, and some really cool surfers catching some waves.

I took a couple of ski trips in the beginning of the year. I went to Windham Mountain in January with my father and brother, and we stayed in an Airbnb very close to the mountain. My father taught me how to ski starting at threeyears-old, so it’s always special for my father to take us skiing and watch the fruits of his labor. And it certainly came in handy when I went to Windham again in late January, escaping that giant snow storm Long Island had, and taught my boyfriend how to ski in a day. I was really impressed by his ability to do an intermediate trail almost right away, but he did have some snowboarding experience. While there, we also checked out “The World’s Largest Kaleidoscope.”

And in late April, my boyfriend and I went to Philadelphia. I’ve been wanting to go because the other two times I’ve been there I was either to young to remember or it was too hot and my friends wanted to leave. But this time the weather was perfect. My boyfriend and I went to Eastern State Penitentiary to do a tour; we went to Philadelphia’s Magic Garden (which was a magical experience); we overlooked the city on the “Rocky Steps”; tried different snacks at the Reading Terminal Market and acted like kids again at The Franklin Institute.

In May, I went with my brother and friend to Clearwater,

Florida for a three day weekend to see my great uncle and aunt. The stay was absolutely beautiful and we made the most of it, getting up as early as we can to enjoy every minute of our short time there. I enjoyed the walkable little town, seeing many types of birds and swimming in the crystal clear water. We also went on a buffet cruise and got everyone dancing on the empty dance floor, my brother not included because he doesn’t like to dance. But he did enjoy the food. It was also the first time I’ve seen my great uncle and aunt as an adult, and I’m glad I got to see them.

Before leaving for my big trip in July, my boyfriend and I spent the day at Montauk for a long, heart felt goodbye because I was going to be gone for almost two months. We were there from early in the morning until late at night, ending the day with a fire on the beach.

Then July brought the trip of a lifetime. My friend and I left on July 1, traveling via Amtrak to Erie, PA; Huron, Ohio; Ann Arbor, Mich,; Chicago; Minneapolis; Stanley, ND.; Browning, MO.; Spokane, Wash.; Seattle; Olympic National Park; Eugene, Ore; Napa Valley; Carmel, Calif; Los Angeles; The Grand Canyon; Sedona and Flagstaff, Ariz. The trip felt like another lifetime.

In September, my boyfriend and I celebrated my birthday in Cooperstown, New York, not for the National Baseball Hall of Fame, but for the Rail Explorers attraction, which took you through the mountain on a motorized surrey. It was a lot of fun, even with the pouring rain.

This year was certainly one for the books and I look forward to what 2023 has to offer.

I Donated A Kidney

BY MINDY DAVIDSON specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

On May 25, I did something that I never would have imagined I’d do, and I would do it again if I could. I donated a kidney altruistically, which means that I donated to a stranger. As much as it has been a life-changer for my recipient (more about him later), it has been life-changing for me as well. I am hoping that someone reading this might feel touched by its content and want to learn more so that people like East Meadow resident, Autumn, can find a donor.

Two years ago, I was asked to watch a video about a former colleague’s cousin who needed a kidney. I was very moved by it. At that time, I was an athletic 60-year-old...a longtime runner and triathlete. My daughter was just beginning her second year in the University of Delaware’s doctor of physical therapy program. I decided to contact the organization that the cousin was working through, to get a little more information. After giving me more background into what a kidney donation process was like, the representative asked that I speak with my daughter. At that point I decided that I really needed to wait until she completed her graduate school program so that she could fully concentrate on that. Over the course of that next year, I kept seeing articles and news stories pop up about kidney donation. I had very casual discussions with my daughter and knew that if and when the time came, she would be fully supportive.

In November of 2021, I was able to start to formally consider becoming a kidney donor. By then, my colleague’s cousin had already been approved for a donation, so I was waiting to see what my next step should be. A couple of months later, my daughter saw an article about a young man needing a donor. I went to the website provided and filled out an informational questionnaire. I soon received a call from Montefiore Hospital. While I was not a match for him, I let them know that I was open to donating to a person in need.

I was lucky to have known several people in the running and triathlon community who were donors and scheduled a Zoom meeting with a few and with my daughter and ex-husband so that they could get a better feel for the process and for what to expect after surgery. It was very helpful for them and relieved some of their anxiety.

I began testing at the beginning of April 2022 and passed the extensive process. A recipient was identified and even lived locally in the Bronx! Surgery was set for May 25. I was so at peace with my decision, I was not even nervous going into surgery. I knew that I was going to be helping to make a difference in someone’s life and that this experience would be a life changer for me as well. Also, I realized, that since both my parents died by suicide (26 years apart) it would be wonderful to give more life to someone. Surgery went well and the recipient immediately responded positively to my donated kidney.

I stayed in the hospital for two nights and then went home. Yes, I did have some discomfort, which is totally expected with major surgery (the surgery was done via laparoscopy) and I did experience nausea and a lack of appetite for two weeks. All was tolerable. They encouraged walks as soon as I was able and I took well advantage of that, starting with about a quarter of a mile and building up. I was able to start cycling and running at three weeks. At four weeks of recovery, I didn’t even feel as if I had ever gone through surgery.

I participated in my first post-surgery 5K in mid-July and completed my first post-surgery sprint triathlon at the end of August.

Most importantly, I felt great physically and I felt a great sense of peace knowing that I had impacted another person and their family. That person, Vu Dang, who moved to the U.S. from Vietnam 30 years ago, feels great. He no longer needs

dialysis, which was part of his life for six years. My daughter and I got to meet him, his wife and his niece at the end of August. It was such a wonderful experience. We continue to email one another weekly.

I write this so that I can raise awareness about live organ donation. It’s a real thing and the impact on the recipient waiting list a testament to it. Currently, there are more than 100,000 people waiting for an organ donation in the U.S. The wait for a kidney is generally five years or more.

ABOUT AUTUMN

She needs a kidney to live. Her health is declining, and she will be starting dialysis any day now. She has been a resident of East Meadow for 33 years and raised her son there. She is a caring person who has always helped others. She helped start a community garden a few years ago to assist those in need. She was unable to continue it this year due to a lack of strength caused by her kidney disease. She lives with her two dogs who depend upon her.

January Is National Blood Donor Month

Did you know that every two seconds someone in the United States needs blood? Or that winter months make it extremely difficult to collect the necessary amount of blood and platelets needed to supply hospitals?

This January, the American Red Cross celebrates National Blood Donor Month and recognizes the lifesaving contribution of blood and platelet donors.

National Blood Donor Month has been celebrated each January for nearly 50 years and coincides with one of the most difficult times to maintain a sufficient blood supply for patients.

When it comes to blood and platelet donations, the winter season is often filled with hurdles as blood drives compete with things such as seasonal illnesses and inclement weather. A donation shortfall over the winter holidays has prompted the American Red Cross to issue an emergency call for blood and for platelet donors to give now to prevent a blood shortage from continuing throughout winter and affecting patient care. The Red Cross collected more than 27,000 fewer blood and platelet donations the weeks of Christmas and New Year’s than needed to sustain a sufficient blood supply, as busy holiday schedules kept many donors away.

During this critical time of year, the Red Cross depends on donors to continue to

supply these resources in order to make sure that blood products are available at about 2,500 hospitals nationwide.

Thanks to the generosity of volunteer blood donors, the American Red Cross helps patients receive the blood and platelets needed to battle illness and injury. According to the Red Cross, nearly 2.7 million people in the U.S. volunteer to donate blood and platelets every year. Blood

and platelets are available for distribution to hospitals through the Red Cross 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Blood transfusions are given to patients in all kinds of circumstances, including serious injuries, surgeries, childbirth, anemia, blood disorders, cancer treatments and many others. This consistent demand makes National Blood Donor Month an integral piece of the puzzle. Each day the Red Cross must collect

13,000 pints of blood from across the country to meet the needs of patients. This makes a blood and platelet shortage during the colder months a crucial matter for the Red Cross and the hospitals they serve.

Blood is a perishable product that can only come from generous volunteers. A blood donation takes about an hour from start to finish, but the actual donation itself only takes between 8 to 10 minutes. By spending an hour giving blood, donors can aid their community and help save lives! Each blood and platelet donation can save the lives of as many as three people, so this January be a hero in your community and find the closest blood drive or blood donation center in your area.

Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App or visit RedCrossBlood.org to make an appointment. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Preparing Perfect Popcorn

Stay near and play it by ear

There’s nothing like the taste of freshly popped popcorn and nothing like the disappointment of burnt popcorn or too many unpopped kernels. If you’ve ever made popcorn, chances are you’ve bungled a batch. Follow these simple steps and you’ll have nearly perfect popcorn every time. The best tip is to stay near and play it by ear. Literally. The sound of popcorn popping is your best clue as to when it’s ready.

STOVETOP POPCORN TIPS

Step 1: Pour enough vegetable oil to just cover the bottom of a pan, turn on medium high heat. Allow pan to warm. The best popping temperature is between 400 and 460 degrees. Oil burns at 500 degrees. If your oil starts to smoke, it’s too hot.

Step 2: Add enough kernels to cover the bottom of the pan in a single layer, shake to coat the kernels with oil, and cover with lid (too many kernels will “blow” the lid).

Step 3: Corn will begin to pop within three minutes. When the popping slows, listen until you can count two seconds between pops. Turn off heat and remove pan from stove-top. Lift the lid to allow steam to escape

away from your face. Steam may burn and remaining kernels may continue to pop.

Step 4: Immediately add herbs, spices or other toppings if desired.

Salting

Pre-salting kernels toughens popcorn. Salt the popcorn after it has been popped— or skip salt altogether and add salt-free spices.

Oil & Butter

You can pop popcorn in any type of oil— sunflower, olive, canola, corn, or coconut— but do not use butter as it will burn under high heat. You may choose to drizzle melted butter on your popcorn after popping.

General Measure Rule

One ounce of unpopped popcorn equals a quart popped.

Storage Tips

Without moisture—13.5 percent to 14 percent per kernel is needed—popcorn can’t pop. That’s why it’s important to store popcorn correctly. An entire percentage of moisture can be lost if your kernels are left uncovered on a hot day. Though that may not sound like a lot, it adds up. A loss of

three percent can render popcorn unpoppable, and even a 1 percent drop in moisture will harm the quality of your kernels. So what’s the best way to store popcorn?

Airtight containers—plastic or glass— are your best bet to avoid moisture loss,

Cosmetic Surgery

especially when stored in a cool place like a cupboard.

Avoid the refrigerator. Some say the cold storage makes the popcorn taste better, but many refrigerators contain little moisture and can dry out kernels.

Still No Second Avenue Subway 100 Years Later

This year marked the 100th Anniversary of promised construction of the Second Avenue Subway. All we have is the first phase with three stations running from 63rd to 96th Street opened in January 2016 at a cost of $4.5 billion. In April 2019, then MTA Office of Capital Construction President Janno Lieber claimed that the MTA could save between $500 million to a $1 billion in costs for the proposed Second Avenue Subway Phase 2. This would have reduced the overall tab down to almost $5 billion. Promised cost savings were based upon reduction in excavation for the 125th Street Station and building the 116th Street Station in space no longer needed for other project work. Instead the cost has grown to $6.9 billion,

Under the $51 billion 2020-24 Five-Year Capital Plan, the cost increased by $1 billion. The previous federal share of $2 billion or 33 percent has now been assumed to be 50 percent or $3.4 billion. There is no guarantee that the final cost might end up billions more. This is based upon future advancement of design and engineering, construction contractors responses to the procurement process for contract(s) award followed by change orders during construction due to unforeseen site conditions or last minute changes in scope.

A legal Federal Transit Administration Capital Investment New Starts Full Funding Grant Agreement (FFGA) to fund the Second Ave Subway Phase 2 would cap federal participation at $3.4 billion. This still remains an open question. The MTA would be legally responsible to pay for any cost increases above $6.9 billion. All the FTA has provided to the MTA is permission to advance final design and engineering. The project still faces myriad hurdles. It will cost more than $200 million per block to advance the Second Avenue subway from 96th to 125th Street. Is this a sound investment for commuters and taxpayers? Fully funding the $51 billion MTA 2020-24 Five-Year Capital Plan is dependent upon receipt of $15 billion generated by Congestion Toll Pricing. There is no guarantee that this will be implemented until January 2024, which would be four years later than previously assumed. The most critical issue to be resolved is identifying and securing the $3.5 billion local share toward the total project cost. It is a basic legal requirement. This is needed to leverage future FTA capital funding under an approved FFGA to support advancement of the project. The MTA must also demonstrate that they have the financial capacity to pay for any unanticipated cost increases or funding shortfalls. How do they do this when we just learned that the agency now faces a multi-year, multi-billion dollar financial shortfall?

Final design and engineering is underway, but far from complete. More time is still needed for completion of all business

relocation, real estate acquisition and private property easement rights. Agreements with New York City and various owners of underground utilities including water, sewer, gas, electric, steam and cable need to be finalized before being ready to commence construction. It is anybody’s guess how long it will take the MTA to successfully resolve all of the above. This will not be a shovel-ready project tor federal funding until these critical tasks are done. This is necessary to convince the FTA to approve a Capital Investment Grant New Starts FFGA for financing. At the current rate of project progress, the FFGA may not be approved for another year or more.

It is a fair question to ask if spending $3.4 billion in MTA local funding for the purchase of hundreds of new buses and subway cars, upgrading out-of-date signal systems on several lines increasing the number of subway stations to be ADA-accessible and securing the subway system from future Super Storm Sandys are better investments of financial resources than advancing the Second Avenue subway. Reaching a state of good repair accompanied by safe and reliable service would benefit far more riders. It should be a higher priority than system expansion.

Larry Penner is a transportation advocate, historian and writer, who previously worked for the Federal Transit Administration Region 2 New York Office. This included the development, review, approval and oversight for billions in capital projects and programs for the MTA, NYC Transit, Long Island Rail Road, Metro North Rail Road, MTA Bus along with 30 other transit agencies in NY & NJ.

WORD FIND

By Holiday Mathis

Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Allies come in many forms, some cuddly and others downright prickly. But people don’t have to be nice, kind or generous to be useful to your cause. You have an open mind and will look for ways for people to work together. It will take creativity, and you have plenty of that to work with this week.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re exible and free as you rush in the direction of an exciting dream. Nobody can stand in your way because you’re not on a narrow path that only ts a few travelers at a time. Your path is as wide as a eld and so scarcely populated it would be nearly impossible for anything or anyone to block you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Even the relationships that seem like they should happen naturally will take work, but it’s nothing out of the ordinary. Relationships are held together by the honoring of contracts, spoken and unspoken. Most of the work is just doing what it takes to ful ll an expectation, or more likely, in your case, exceed it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Before you gure out your own way of doing a thing, it’s normal to do an imitation of what you believe the part entails. In time you’ll settle into the version that’s all you. Until then, take note of when you feel like you’re enacting a characterization. Keep trying things until you get comfortable making it yours.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It can be seriously detrimental to give your trust to the wrong person, for the wrong reason or at an ill-timed moment. So if you’re not sure who you can trust and you opt to trust no one, it just might be among your luckiest moves. Let people prove themselves rst, and in the meantime, work toward self-su ciency.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s di cult to adjust expectations you don’t even realize you have. Disappointment can be a gift -- a chance to investigate what you thought it would be before you knew better. ere’s a creative opportunity here, too. Mine the magic in your naive vision. What would it take to make your original hopes come to life?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You make powerful choices when you know your own rules and live by them. If you have too many options, you don’t really have any because you’ll walk away instead of deciding. Narrow it down to ve. It doesn’t matter which ve. Any ve will teach you your criteria and get you in the decision-making mode.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are not inclined toward comfortable complacency. Playing a bigger game means you’re wrong more often, and you’ll know more stress than those who live in a small bubble of certainty. Your courage and persistence will be rewarded. You’ll learn more because there’s more to learn.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re an expert strategist, and whatever game you put your head into, be it business, love, politics or Scrabble, you’ll come up with a brilliant plan. It’s sometimes wise to play theoretically, as many plans aren’t worth the energy it would take to execute them. Success depends on knowing what to act on.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ve put e ort into relationships, and you’ll enjoy the fruits of it this week. People you can communicate well with are the treasures of your life. When you can say everything with a shared look, it’s a true connection. Of course, this kind of mind reading is made possible through dozens of prior conversations.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You know an array of people with a full range of energy styles. e overachievers teach you the prizes and cost of ambition, and the laid-back individuals demonstrate the pleasures and perils of relaxation. You’ll settle into the groove that comforts and challenges you in equal measure.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re friendly and compassionate. You’re not looking for obvious or constant rewards for your every action. Still, “What’s in it for me?” is a good question to keep asking yourself this week. Whatever is in it for you, self-respect must be included in the bene ts package, or it’s not worth your time.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You’ll get what you want for two excellent reasons. First, you want something that is good for more than just you. Second, you gure out the correct exchange for it. Your team will win because of your e orts. Whether it’s your turn or you’re cheering on the others, your contribution is priceless and appreciated. Instead of striving for happiness, you’ll achieve it as a side e ect of an adventurous challenge. Don’t overthink, just go; you’ll discover you have greater faculty than you’d imagined.

applied the rule. West led the spade five against three notrump, declarer taking East’s jack with the ace. South then led the ten of clubs, losing to East’s jack, and the outcome now hinged on whether East returned a spade or switched to the king of hearts.

The heart shift was indeed very tempting, but East, thoroughly versed in the Rule of Eleven, returned a spade. As a result,

Date: 1/4/23

declarer went down two after a second club finesse failed. Had East returned the king of hearts instead, declarer would have made the contract.

The Rule of Eleven can be applied whenever a player is thought to be leading the fourth-best card of a suit. Here, East had every reason to believe that West’s opening lead was his fourth-best spade. Since West’s lead was the five, East subtracted that number from 11, which in turn told him that the North, East and South hands combined had six cards in spades higher than the five West led.

East could see three spades higher than the five in his own hand and two higher than the five in dummy. He was thus able to deduce, according to the Rule, that South had only one spade higher than the five, which turned out to be the ace South played at trick one. Consequently, East knew that a spade return to dummy’s king at trick three would establish West’s remaining spades.

Note that declarer can also make use of the Rule of Eleven. In the actual deal, South can work out, in the same way, that East has three spades higher than the five West led, but this information does not help him in the present case. He must go down if East defends correctly, and there is nothing he can do about it.

Engel’s mother, Rita Engel, remains active with ACLD today.

“My brothers, Marc (59) and Stuart (57), both have received services, including housing, medical care, employment coaching and social opportunities from ACLD for most of their lives and the organization has long been a fixture in my family,” said Engel. “Hopefully, I will follow in my father’s large footsteps to lead the fundraising efforts in a new positive direction.”

Pearl Harbor 81st Commemorative Anniversary At Airpower Museum

On Sunday, December 7, 1941 the Japanese launched a surprise military assault on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.

On December 8, 1941 President Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave his famous “date which will live in infamy” speech and following that, Congress declared war and the United States entered into World War II.

Eighty-one years later Veterans from all branches of the service came together to commemorate the anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor at the Air Power

Museum in Farmingdale, New York.

Veterans from World War II ranging in age from 93 to 102 were honored and given certificates for their service. During the ceremony a bugler played Taps in memory of those that perished on that day. Color Guards were provided by the Navy Reserves and other veterans organizations.

Over 200 Veterans and family members as well as local elected officials attended the commemorative ceremony.

Regardless of whether you choose to remain in your home, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR PROPERTY and pay your taxes in accordance with state and local law.

FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairl profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

Levittown Boxing Legend Bobby Cassidy Remembered

JAMES ROWAN

Levittown’s Bobby Cassidy was a boxing pioneer, the first Long Island fighter to become a world-rated contender. He boxed professionally from 1963 to 1980 and fought main events in the old and current Madison Square Garden. A southpaw, Cassidy had a record of 59-16-4 with 27 knockouts.

Cassidy moved from Queens to Levittown at the age of four and never left. He graduated from Division Avenue High School in 1961. He died peacefully at his Levittown home on December 11. He was 78. He had been suffering from dementia for more than a year.

“Bobby was a kind soul that helped a lot of people,” said his wife Becky Cassidy, who was married to the fighter for 10 years. “Being married to Bobby made me a better and a stronger woman.”

Cassidy was ranked in the top 10 of the junior middleweight, middleweight, light heavyweight and cruiserweight divisions. He fought a plethora of champions and contenders, including Gypsy Joe Harris, Isaac Logart, Luis Rodriguez, Don Fullmer, Tom Bethea, Rodrigo Valdez, Jimmy Dupree, Tommy Hicks, Christy Elliott and John Capobianco. He was willing to fight anyone, anywhere. His boxing record is filled with destinations such as Sweden, Italy and South Africa. Even in the United States, he traveled to Philadelphia, Miami and Worcester to take on the local champions.

Although Cassidy beat four men who challenged for the world title, Cassidy was never given a title shot.

“Bobby came up tough,” said Gerry Cooney, the former heavyweight contender from Huntington. “He didn’t get any breaks. People weren’t always looking out for your best interests. Bobby did it the hard way. But he always had a great disposition. It never affected who he was. I loved Bobby.”

According to many news accounts throughout his career, Cassidy was one of the biggest ticket-sellers of his era. Fans flocked to Sunnyside Garden, Commack Arena, the Felt Forum and Madison Square Garden to see him fight. His appeal was simple - Cassidy was tough and always made for exciting

fights.

“Bobby was boxing on Long Island, he paved the way,” added Cooney. “He was very tough and people recognize that. He always came to fight and he always came to win. And he won most of the time.”

In the late 1960 and early 1970s, Scranton, Pennsylvania, was also considered a boxing hotbed. Cassidy fought there nine times. On one of those cards, in 1973, heavyweight champion Larry Holmes made his professional boxing debut.

“Bobby Cassidy was a top fighter in those days,” said Holmes. “He was the main event, the one people came to see in Scranton. He was a really good fighter.”

Cassidy twice fought on the same card as Muhammad Ali and the two became friends training at Miami’s 5th Street Gym. Cassidy appeared on the second Ali-Joe Frazier card at the Garden and the Ali-Chuck Wepner card in Cleveland.

Cassidy’s style appealed to a wide cross-section of people and earned him admiration from all corners of life. He counted among his friends actors Robert DeNiro, James Caan and Burt Young, U.S. Congressman Peter King and former mob boss Sonny Franzese.

Cassidy worked for a time as DeNiro’s boxing trainer. It was Burt Young who helped launch Cassidy’s brief acting career. He landed roles for Bobby in the Academy-award winning film Rocky as well as Uncle Joe Shannon. The actor and

fighter maintained a close friendship. Young worked in Cassidy’s corner for several of his fights and the pair often sparred together.

While Cassidy never earned that coveted title shot, he guided two fighters to world championships. He trained Donny Lalonde who won the WBC light heavyweight title in 1987, knocking out Long Island’s Eddie Davis to win the belt. Then in 1995, he trained Lonnie Bradley to the WBO middleweight crown. He also trained Peggy Donovan Ward to the 1995 Golden Gloves titles. It was the first time the tournament allowed women to enter.

“Bobby Cassidy was just an incredible human being,” said Lalonde. “He gave me love, support and confidence. He was a father figure with a background in the boxing ring that you can’t buy. You had to have experienced it. He was so generous and willing to give me everything he had to help me succeed. I would definitely not have become a world champion without Bobby Cassidy.”

Cassidy trained many other fighters, including Uganda’s Godfrey Nyakana, Lenny LaPaglia, Lennard Jackson, Kevin Collins, Joey Winters and Jamie Drubin. He coached with Pete Brodsky at the Westbury PAL Boxing Gym in the early 1980s and tutored countless fighters.

Cassidy’s second act in life was equally impressive. He experienced a few legal woes immediately after his career but quickly righted his ship. In addition to training fighters, he worked

as a counselor at the Nassau County Correctional Center and helped inmates who were battling addiction. He would often do charity work with Congressman King and former Nassau County District Attorney Denis Dillon.

“Bobby Cassidy made a great comeback,” said Bob Duffy, a former promoter and the president of the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. “What I can say, everybody wanted to be Bobby Cassidy’s friend, his charm and legacy will never be forgotten. His legacy will be carried on by his two sons, Chris and Bobby Jr. They turned out to be his greatest victories.”

Cassidy was a devoted husband, father and grandfather.

“One thing I’ll always cherish is that as crazy as my Dad’s schedule was as a fighter, he always managed to make it to me and my brother’s ball games,” said Chris Cassidy. “It meant so much as a kid to have your dad there cheering you on from the sidelines. We loved it.”

Cassidy has been inducted into three boxing halls of fame, New Jersey (2001), New York (2013) and Florida (2018). He was also the subject of an Off Broadway play, Kid Shamrock , which was written by Bobby Jr.

“Sometimes when two people come together, they complete each other’s lives and you wind up with a soulmate forever,” said his wife Becky. “Bobby may not be present but he will never be forgotten.”
