fter the first eight episodes of Stranger Things dropped in the summer of 2016 with its compelling storyline, irresistible characters and 1980s nostalgia, it was a sure bet the sci-fi show would net a second season. Now, with less than a week until the sophomore season premieres on Netflix—just in time for Halloween—fans are ready to rejoin Mike, Dustin, Lucas, Will, Eleven and the rest of the cast for a second journey into the Upside Down.

There are plenty of questions heading into the second season, with some more pressing than others—Where are Lucas’ parents?

Why did Barb get such a raw deal? Will there ever be a greater redemption moment than Steve Harrington’s bad ass bat spin? (short answer: no).

Here are a few more unanswered questions heading into Stranger Things 2.

5 Questions For Stranger Things 2 for season two, so one can assume that Brenner met his end. But would such a major character be killed off in such an ambiguous way? If he is still alive, why hasn’t Brenner appeared in any of the trailers? Did his run-in with the Demogorgon leave him maimed and deformed?

woods—presumably for Eleven.

What was the deal Hopper struck to go after Will? Did he give up Eleven’s location? Is he still under the command of the Hawkins National Laboratory’s “bad men?”

If he did give Eleven up, does she know? Did he leave the waffles as a form of apology?

What was the deal Hopper made?

In order to gain clearance to enter the Upside Down with Joyce to find Will, Chief Hopper struck a deal with the “bad men.” In Hopper’s last scenes, we see him get into a car with shadowy men before leaving waffles in a box in the

Is Papa dead?

In the eighth episode of season one, the Demogorgon pounced on Dr. Brenner (Matthew Modine)— Eleven’s “Papa”—and he was never seen again. Viewers didn’t actually see him die, but the character has not shown up in any of the trailers

Did Will just barf up a slug?

After Will’s rescue and the Demogorgan’s defeat at the hands of Mike, Dustin, Lucas and Eleven, the Byers family sits around the dinner table and everything seems back to normal. Then, Will excuses himself to the bathroom.

While in there, Will’s surroundings flash back to the Upside Down and he coughs up a slug-like creature, which wriggles down the drain. Should we assume that Will brought some of the Upside Down into the “real” world and does that mean the line between the Upside Down and reality has been completely blurred?

from a lab, it stands to reason that she was tattooed “11” because she was the 11th test subject at the research facility. Does this mean that there were 10 unfortunate patients before her? What happened to them? Did the experiments end up killing them or did the experiments transform all or some of them into unrecognizable creatures? Wait, is the Demogorgan merely a malformed test subject that the lab lost control of?

What is the point of these experiments, anyway?

When the scientists experiment on Eleven, she is submerged in a tank of water and reemerges in a black void. There, she spies undetected on conversations and travels (we assume) to different dimensions.

Who is sanctioning these experiments? Is it the U.S. government or is Hawkins National Laboratory operating independently and under the radar? Are they building a race of biological super weapons with these experiments and if it is government-sanctioned, is this a sort of Cold War defensive initiative? Did the scientists purposely open the gate to the Upside Down or was that an unforeseen consequence of the experiments?

Stranger Things 2 premieres on Oct. 27 on Netflix.

umpkin. It’s the flavor of the season, coming in all shapes and forms like pie, muffins, bread, scones, soup and ravioli. But so many pumpkin lovers go straight for the canned puree instead of using every last bit of the gourd they pick from the patch.

As you go to carve your jack-o-lantern this Halloween, remember to salvage every part of the pumpkin. First, cut off the crown of the pumpkin with a sharp serrated knife, making a large enough hole to scrape out the flesh and seeds. Then, take a large spoon and remove the innards, separating into a large mixing bowl. Rinsing the seeds and pulp under water, remove the bigger pieces of pumpkin. Fill the bowl with water, allowing the pieces of pumpkin to sink and the seeds to

float to the top. Drain the seeds in a colander and let dry until you are ready to roast them.

Now for that extra pulp. Remove any stringy pieces before adding to the blender to puree. Adding spices to the pulp while in the blender is optional, depending on what you are using the puree for. Use in soups, risottos and baked goods or simply as a spread.

Store in the freezer for later use.

It’s time to get creative with your hollowed orange vessel. If hosting a party, use your gourd as a punch bowl (if large enough) or a soup bowl for an autumnal presentation during dinner.

If you don’t plan on eating out of it, spray the inside of the pumpkin with a sealant and display it as a decoration in your home, filled with flowers and other fall elements.

LICADD Raises Funds To Expand Service

BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

The Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (LICADD) hosted the 37th annual R. Brinkley Smithers Golf Invitational on Oct. 3. Participants had their choice of teeing off at Meadow Brook Club in Jericho or Piping Rock Club in Locust Valley.

“This landmark golf event offers an opportunity to provide hope and healing to at-risk individuals and the families who support them. LCIADD gratefully thanks our sponsors and golfers for making the event successful,” said executive director Steve Chassman, LCSW, and CASAC. Named for LICADD founder, R. Brinkley Smithers, the landmark tournament raised more than $254,000 to ensure that the services LICADD provides—from screening, intervention and referral services, to recovery support, prevention education, an employee assistance program and mentoring—all remain accessible to the individuals and families who

are most affected by drug and alcohol abuse on Long Island. No one is ever turned away from receiving services due to financial hardship.

This event offered a challenging round on two of Long Island’s premier courses. Event co-chairs, Michael Brennan, Bill Baum, and Jeffery Capazzi, agree on the appeal of the R. Brinkley Smithers tournament.

“R. Brinkley Smithers has earned a reputation as one of Long Island’s most popular charity golf tournaments—how fitting that it is dedicated to raising critical funds at the height of a national drug crisis with Long Island being especially hard hit,” said Michael Brennan, event co-chair and board chair.

The day ended with a lovely reception at Meadow Brook Club.

Putting A Price On Time

BY JOSEPH CATRONE

JCATRONE@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Time is money, according to an old saying, and it’s one of society’s most common exchanges. But two young, ambitious college graduates wondered why the exchange couldn’t function in reverse, so they sought to create a way for money to buy back time. The result was Covet, a local app-based service that will perform a diversity of tasks, from grocery shopping, to babysitting, plumbing and even doing laundry.

The company’s founders, Troy Lester and Max Drut, were inspired by their time as roommates at the University of Vermont, when they found themselves more than willing to part with a few bucks if it meant checking something else off their to-do lists.

“We’d always wish we could get whatever we wanted, when we wanted it,” recalled Lester, who attended Great Neck South High School and ended up transferring from Vermont to Stony Brook to complete his degree. “We were willing to pay a bit of a premium to get it to us. I called [Drut] up and said, ‘Max, you know how we were always complaining about this? We should solve that here.”

Employee Alex Lazarev and co-founder Troy Lester to potential freelance employees as it did consumers.

“Let’s go with the Uber driver example,” said Drut. “You have the illusion of getting paid right away, but you’re not taking into account car depreciation costs, for example, where you’re spending money on gas. You can pay today’s bill, but you’re not going to pay your mortgage, build a house and start a family. We’re trying to take a skill set and turn that into a career.”

Lester and Drut spent the last six months developing their idea from the ground up. They originally envisioned the app as a concession to people’s desire for convenience, something that serviced the “requester side of the market place.” However, they turned their attention towards what they saw as an underutilized freelance economy, which currently occupies 34 percent of the U.S. workforce. From there, their app became as much about appealing

Requests are made directly through the Covet app and can also be called in. Covet’s employees, known as “coveteers,” will then take on whichever jobs their skillsets apply to. The screening process for coveteers is extensive.

Following an in-person interview and background check, potential coveteers will perform tasks strictly for Lester, Drut and their families for the first two weeks. If the coveteers prove to be sufficient and trustworthy, they are free to fill requests in Nassau County.

“We have really great people,” added Lester. “It’s basically a personal recommendation from us. That’s what we really moderate.”

The app’s name and the company’s de facto motto acts as a twist on the 10th Commandment: Thou shalt covet.

With an eye on serving local suburban communities, Covet hopes to one day expand beyond Nassau County. “[The app] really caters to your needs in terms of you being able to fully customize the request you need to get done,” said Drut. “There have been plenty of studies [that show] people that are spending money to save time, it truly makes them happier.”

Cancer Outreach On Long Island

BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Since 2006, Dr. Jesse Stoff (onco-immunologist) has been involved in supporting other research groups and foundations through his own nonprofit entity called S.I.M.R. (Stoff Institute for Medical Research) and has recently established a public project called Awareness For A Cure (AFAC).

“With the help of a few friends,” AFAC was inspired by a host of cancer foundations and members of the Long Island Caregivers Group geared at creating a resource for all Long Islanddirected grants, 5k walks/races and fundraising efforts to raise money to find a cure for debilitating diseases.

“There are so many ways to join the fight against cancer,” said Stoff. “Being a health practitioner is one way, but having public resources to get patients funding, education, treatment options or services to help them restore their lives is also a major home run for so many.”

One of Stoff’s major allies in this philanthropic mission Annie Brandt, founder of Best Answer For Cancer (BAFC), www.bestanswerforcancer. org), cancer survivor turned advocate

and global educational crusader for the many treatment and survival options. BAFC is an international organization of doctors and patients working to shift the cancer paradigm from a one-size-fits-all disease-based approach to a patient-centered, integrative medical approach—supporting integrative oncology that addresses the disease while considering the uniqueness of each patient.

“We wish to empower physicians and patients to adopt the newer, more successful paradigm—we believe the best answer for cancer is an approach that destroys the cancer while enhancing the overall health of the patient,” said Brandt.

BAFC became one of the founding partners for Awareness for a Cure by helping to of support the many notable organizations on Long Island. The new Long Island branch is committed to sharing all Island-based special events, spotlighting the vision of the founders and helping fundraisers through social media and seeking out volunteers.

AFAC’s objectives to bring awareness, resources and hope to the community also includes featuring the tremendous spirit behind local

Ginny Salerno, founder and executive director of LI2DAY fundraiser projects and events. One of the many headliners of the upcoming Awareness News series is Ginny Salerno, founder and executive director of LI2DAY (www.li2daywalk. org) whose personal life’s work is to establish the massive undertaking of producing breast cancer walks on Long Island. In 2003, Salerno returned from a national breast cancer walk and was inspired to bring a multi-day walk to Long Island where 100 percent

of the funds raised by walkers would stay on Long Island to be distributed by grassroots breast cancer service and support organizations. With sheer determination, family, friends and the support from local politicians and businesses, the inaugural LI2Day Breast Cancer Walk took place in Suffolk County in June of 2004 and raised $291,000. Now into its 14th year, local grassroots organizations from south Nassau and Manhasset to Montauk Point are receiving funds to fight breast cancer and other women’s cancers.

More than $6 million has been raised in 14 years.

In a recent on-air interview at WBAB/WBLI with AFAC’s first partner organization, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Jamie Lamarca, patient access manager, Stoff announced his centralized awareness platform and a resource directory for disease patients.

“I visit hospitals and oncology offices across Long Island to raise awareness about LLS and what we can do to help,” said LaMarca. “When a patient is first diagnosed, they are thrown into a world they certainly don’t want to be in. An easily accessible support system is really important for any patient—and as a social worker, it’s a passion of mine to bring

support, education and offer financial assistance.”

Awareness for a Cure is also underway with various productions of a video series called “Survivor Stories.”

This program spotlights volunteer survivors who escaped the throes of a deadly disease. One of the many upcoming mini-biographies of Survivor Stories include Rachel Klein—a Long Island mom who shares a then-tonow perspective of what it was like to first get the diagnosis and with the help of cancer foundations like the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, she received the help she needed to stay alive and regain her quality of life for years to come.

In the ongoing battle against cancer, the list of charities, foundations and grants also continues to grow. Coordinators of the Long Island AFAC efforts continue their mission to seek out, meet and learn about each remarkable organization and bring awareness about their work.

“By listing grants, sharing fundraiser feature stories and establishing a publication that supports the cancer community with people-based information, we are joining the front lines of the fight by arming all sufferers with a true society that is truly on their side,” said Laurel Muckey, AFAC co-editor.

Post Opens New Health Center

Brad Garrett & Rita Rudner - 10/26

The LIU Post College of Health Professionals and Nursing recently held a ribbon cutting and demonstration of the university’s new state-of-the-art health care simulation center. The event was part of LIU Post’s Homecoming weekend.

The state-of-the-art center—called the Interprofessional Simulation Center— is a critical part of the university’s experiential approach to educating the next generation of health-care professionals. The center simulates real-world situations, using advanced simulation equipment.

The participants learn proper interventions, refine interprofessional skills and increase confidence in their abilities.

LIU Post’s Interprofessional Simulation Center is unique as it supports interdisciplinary and translational research, adding to the body of knowledge on simulation, practice, technology, quality and safety in a real-world health care setting. Among the honored guests to the ribbon cutting were Dr. Stacy Gropack, dean, School of Health Professionals and Nursing, along with Winifred B. Mack, senior vice president, Health Systems Operations at Northwell Health.

HOW DID A NATIONALLY RANKED

HEART HOSPITAL BECOME

A NATIONALLY RANKED HOSPITAL FOR GASTROENTEROLOGY & GI SURGERY?

It starts with the doctors. Our doctors have long been in the forefront of diagnosing and treating gastrointestinal diseases. With the state-of-the-art technologies now available to them, there’s no difficult disorder they can’t treat. Which explains why St. Francis is the only Long Island hospital nationally ranked for Gastroenterology & GI Surgery by U.S.News & World Report . We are one of only four New York Metro area hospitals to make the list.

Our patients have always known how good our doctors are. Now the rest of the country does,

Learning Charity Doughology works with schools through Operation Halo

BY JENNIFER FAUCI JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Helping others, one doughnut at a time. That is the slogan Chris Stiansen uses when his doughnut shop, Doughology, uses their baked treats for the greater good.

Operation Halo was created after Stiansen and his wife wanted to find a way to further give back to the community. Realizing that a doughnut resembled a halo in shape, he went with it.

“We do a lot for charity and whatever we can do to help and give back, we’ll do,” said Stiansen, who created Operation Halo in May 2017. “Instead of waiting on people to come into the shop and buy the specialty doughnuts we create, we wanted to give other people the ability to raise money.”

Here’s how it works. Stiansen

and his Doughology crew sell their doughnuts to organizations at a discounted price. The organizations then sell the doughnuts at whatever price they choose, allowing them to raise money and awareness for their cause. Operation Halo customers can choose doughnuts off Doughology’s doughnut board or create their own, some dependent on school colors or organization logos. For example, the shop always has a display of pink doughnuts with pink ribbons for Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.

“It’s geared toward schools, churches, sports organizations, essentially all 501c3 organizations,” said Stiansen of the groups he works with. “We don’t want people saying we need doughnuts and it ends up being for a Sweet 16. We

make sure they’re certified.”

Whenever someone needs help, Doughology is there year-round.

Although they don’t deliver, once the group comes to the shop and meets with Stiansen, Doughology takes it from there. Doughnuts are made fresh the day of and can be created to be unique in terms of flavor and design to suit the charitable cause. Stiansen also supplies his Operation Halo customers with food trays.

“We make everything on premise. So far, the most we made was 300 doughnuts for one school event,” he said, noting that for schools, Operation Halo has really been a pilot program. “We started in Oceanside School because that’s where we live, and had 300 doughnuts sell out in eight minutes.”

Recently, Operation Halo has

done work for Camp Sunrise by creating a gold doughnut for the organization. They have also collected supplies for hurricane Harvey victims in Texas, giving customers a free Texas-themed doughnut of the donated materials and goods.

“We want to give people the ability to help others. Plenty of people are in need and if this is a way to help someone I think it’s a great program,” he said, adding that organizations like the PTA, schools, administrators, church members and sports organizations would greatly benefit from a partnership with the program. “If we can use our doughnuts to help their cause, then we’re all for it.”

To learn more about Operation Halo or to become a program partner, email doughologyny@gmail. com or call 516-341-0882.

Life On The Farm The farmhouse look has been popularized over the last few years

BY JENNIFER FAUCI

JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

C

omfy, cozy and classic.

These three C’s are the hallmark of farmhouse style, the interior design trend that has been sweeping homes across the nation. Warm, relaxing and full of charm and character, those who prefer this design favor practicality from room to room.

Enter into a home designed with farmhouse and you will find reclaimed wood, wide plank floors, neutral colors (think cream, beige, gray, brown and green—no bright colors for as far as the eye can see), barnboard details, wrought iron accents, vintage accessories and welcoming furniture.

Decorative items should be worn, rugged and weathered, so no glass, crystal or fragile figurines here. And anything matchy-matchy is a no-no.

Mix patterns, materials and fabrics in blankets, throws and pillows and set the stage on your walls by hanging some phrases, monogrammed pieces and peaceful landscapes.

This not only goes for décor, but

furniture as well. Different chairs around an old hunk of wood that serves as a dining room table adds

a level of character and storytelling.

In the kitchen, apron sinks are a highlight of the room, especially if placed under exposed wood beams.

While these are more inherent to homes when built, homeowners can set beams in the ceiling for a rustic country look that works well in any room. If it doesn’t look like it’s direct from the store, chances are you’re doing it right.

So many craft and home goods stores these days carry everything you need to achieve this style. If you don’t want to buy straight from the store, get creative and craft your own looks. It’s all about collecting items and knick knacks here and there and finding a place for them to live in your home.

Open window panes perched on wall shelves, wrought iron lanterns, and galvanized metal tins to hold blankets, books and potted flora and fauna (real or artificial) all add to that level of simple sophistication with this style.

If your personality is bright, bold

and bubbly and you want your home to reflect that, chances are you won’t find a kinship with farmhouse design. However, if you are looking for a fresh take on your humble abode, consider the popular, but by no means overstated style that replicates a quiet, country life that is relaxing, laid back and charming.

Make Your Home Cozy And Chic For Fall

BY JENNIFER FAUCI

JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

HGTV organizing expert Jill Pollack may have a spot for everything in the home, but she also has a keen eye for designing each room as well, especially when it comes to hot styles and trends of the moment.

“To me, farmhouse style and décor means a lot of things. I think rustic, charming, unfussy and unfinished, but I also see practical, old school and comfortable in that style aspect as well,” said Pollack of the design trend that has captivated homeowners and decorators.

As with any interior design style, there are certain elements of a farmhouse-themed room that are typical when decorating. For example, reclaimed wood, barnboard details and big, comfortable furniture will always make an appearance. The same goes for galvanized metal, wrought iron accents, vintage accessories and plush blankets and pillows in neutrals, taupes, sage greens, cocoas and light

gray colors. For Pollack, every detail of designing a room is important, right down to where everything goes.

“For cute and decorative ways to store things in keeping with the theme of your room, there’s so much you can

do,” she said. “Think mason jars for make-up brushes, Q-tips and utensils and galvanized metal containers for categorizing food, supplies and toys. Use burlap bags for decorative accents and wooden milk crates for magazines.”

Pollack also recommends using an old wood ladder for shelves or displays, cookie jars for soaps, coffee pods and dog treats and wicker baskets to store toilet paper and towels.

Autumn is a limbo season where it’s not yet too cold but still a bit warm, so think about what goes into storage.

“It’s time to put away tennis rackets

and swimming gear and assess the winter gear, see what you need and what fits the kids because you don’t want to get caught short when the first snow of the season comes and you are missing mittens,” she said. “Make a donation pile and send what you don’t need to people who do.”

For those with a fireplace, make sure the wood pile is stocked and everyone should get ready to wash their heavy winter comforter.

“Fall is a perfect time to open the windows and give the house a good airing out before shutting up for the cold,” said Pollack. “Wash everything first and then put the items in clear plastic bins with labels. Depending on the item, toss in a few cedar balls to protect from bugs and smells and always store in a dry place.”

Make a list of what you might need next season and look for pre-season sales. When you’re done with your list, cozy up and enjoy the warmth and wonder that comes with autumn.

Under Foot Walk on the surface of the latest flooring trends

BY LOUIS IANNACO

EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

W

ith the crisp winds of autumn sending a chill through the air, so comes a sense of renewal. For those seeking a fresh start with the purchase of a new house or looking to change things up a bit in their present dwelling, plenty of flooring options abound.

For some, what’s on the floor is inconsequential; after all, it’s the colors, textures and materials on the walls and furniture that people notice first. But for others, perhaps those with a more discerning eye for design, the floor is the foundation of what they hope becomes a comfortable and beautiful forever home, not just a house or space to live in.

When exploring fashionable flooring options, the offerings have evolved dramatically in recent years.

Hardwood is getter rougher, carpet is getting softer and more resilient, and luxury vinyl tile (LVT), created with the latest technology, has surprisingly become the fastest growing flooring segment today. It’s not your grandmother’s linoleum floor anymore.

Here’s a comprehensive guide to a plethora of options.

This Armstrong Hardwood Birch floor features 5-inch wide plank engineered hardwood in Golden Blonde.

whitewashed selections put people in the mindset of beach resorts and other tropical locales.

Another popular hardwood trend is wider planks. Today’s homeowners love this look, and are now using widths as high as five to six inches, whereas before two inches was the norm.

Reclaimed Wood

Luxury Vinyl Tile

Another growing practice is the use of reclaimed wood, which is extremely popular in the farmhouse trend and features wood’s inherent natural character and imperfections. Consumers also like it because it’s eco-friendly, as it’s recycled from old logs, beams and antique floors.

Reclaimed wood choices can be expensive, but manufacturers have answered the call with machine made distressed wood, many of which are produced by scraping chains over the surface to mimic a weathered look.

The state-of-the-art technology utilized by resilient flooring producers in recent years has given vinyl floors a whole new look, allowing homeowners to place it in a growing number of applications throughout the home.

The fastest growing flooring category during the last few years, LVT allows homeowners to put the natural look of wood and ceramic on their floors at a fraction of the cost of the real thing, much like laminate floors but at an even lower cost. LVT comes in planks and squares, and features realistic textures never seen before in the resilient-flooring category.

Hardwood Along with ceramic tile, hardwood flooring has taken a bigger piece of the market-share pie when it comes to flooring sold during the past two

Mannington’s Adura Collection in Seaport Anchor offers luxury vinyl plank in a modern salvaged look. decades. Homeowners want to bring nature indoors, and with these two hard surfaces, they’ve been able to do just that.

With the rise of great rooms or open concept that brings kitchen and family rooms together into one large space, it’s becoming routine to see wood in kitchens and other applications, where they hadn’t been before. The practice of ripping up carpet and refinishing

the wood surfaces underneath is now commonplace.

Several hardwood styles are popular today, including darker offerings, such as ebony, espresso as well as hickory, cherry and walnut, which are often used to offset a home’s light decor. Other popular color options include whitewashed and gray, which has surged in design trends recently, not just hardwood flooring, while

An easily renewable resource since it is harvested from a quickly renewable crop, bamboo’s color options have skyrocketed in recent years due to new manufacturing techniques, which have produced both an array of colors and plank widths.

Strand-woven bamboo is currently a popular option in this segment.

Manufactured differently than traditional bamboo flooring, strand-woven bamboo features strips of bamboo, which are coated with resins then compressed with heat to form timbers that are then milled into flooring. This process produces bamboo flooring that is twice as hard as the traditional version.

Ceramic Tile Ceramic tile continues to get larger and larger, both in popularity and in actual size. Tile in formats as large as 12-by-24 inches, 24-by-24 inches, 36-by-36 inches—and even larger—are becoming a favorite with designers and architects, especially on the commercial side since there’s less grout to clean, and they add an expansive look for consumers’ floors.

Tiles that mimic the look of wood have been the fastest-growing trend

in this segment for years, followed by fabric and concrete looks. Porcelain offerings currently rule the ceramic tile landscape with fast-surging trends, including plank formats, the mixing of various textures and products featuring recycled content.

Wide Planks Mentioned earlier as a hot trend in hardwood flooring, wide planks— generally considered five inches or larger— offer consumers an authentic, rustic feel, as many come distressed or hand-scraped, but wide planks have also made their way into segments such as laminate and LVT. Wide plank laminate floors are available in almost every color and style, with some even coming in handscraped wood looks and random plank patterns. When it comes to LVT, many planks are wider than six inches and mimic the look of real wood.

So, whatever your taste, materials, colors and textures are available to suit every style.

ANTON ELECTION COVERAGE

PARTY KEY GRE=Green REP=Republican WEP=Women’s Equality CON=Conservative IND=Independence RP=Reform WFP=Working Families DEM=Democratic LIB=Libertarian TR=Tax Revolt *=incumbent

The Nassau County Legislature Races Courtesy of the League of Women Voters

Q: Every candidate in every Nassau County election for decades says something like: “We must reform the unjust property tax system to provide businesses and homeowners with a transparent, fair and clear assessment program going forward.”

And it never happens. Other than repeating the above, what is your specific plan for fixing this system that continues a debt burden for Nassau County.

District 10

David A. Adhami, REP, CON

A: My specific plan to fix the system that continues a debt burden for Nassau County is to negotiate better contracts and cut wasteful patronage contracts that are given to friends of politicians. If a business is not fiscally responsible it goes out of business, but for too long we have had politicians who make poor fiscal choices and pass the bill to the taxpayers. As a small business owner and coming from a family of small business owners I understand what it means to do more with less and be financially responsible. I will fight for Nassau County tax payers to make sure they are getting what they pay for.

Ellen W. Birnbaum, DEM, WFP, IND, WEP

A: Nassau County needs

a qualified professional Assessor who can take charge. For over 6 years, Nassau has had an acting assessor who was never confirmed by the Legislature. Nassau needs an assessor who can lead a review of the assessment of all properties so that residents believe that there is a fair system in place where they don’t need to challenge their assessment each year. Companies that do these challenges have been making far too much money as a result of this broken system at the expense of taxpayers.

District 11

Zefy Christopoulos, REP

A: To ensure a fair and clear assessment program for Nassau County businesses and residents, the entire process should be shifted to the towns and cities in which

they are located. This method is in place for nearly every county in New York State. Residents, business owners, and elected officials are the ones who would have a better understanding of realistic property values within their towns and cities.

They are on the “front lines” of what is occurring in their constituencies.

In many cases, there have been projects in the developmental stages that could possibly impact current or future property values. A fair market value of all properties that would be kept in place for a period of five years, for example, eliminates the need for many homeowners to continually retain an attorney to grieve their taxes.

Delia M. Deriggi Whitton, DEM, WFP, IND, WEP

A: It’s simple. We need a qualified assessor who knows how to create better quality and more accurate assessments that won’t result in unfair taxes for county residents and expensive refunds for the county government. ...............................

Q: Integrity, honesty, trust-

worthiness are all qualities we expect from our politicians, yet Nassau County has had several elected officials that have faced criminal charges. What specifically will you do to implement accountability, transparency, checks and balances, and proper oversight? What concrete steps will you take to re-build the public’s trust?

District 12 James D. Kennedy, REP, CON, IND, TRP

A: Under no circumstances will I have any tolerance for an elected official who abuses their position for personal gain. Because of the recent indictments and convictions of elected officials on both sides of the aisle my Republican colleagues and I have passed laws requiring lobbyists, vendors and consultants to provide detailed business histories when they do business with the county. We have also hired a procurement compliance director and commissioner of investigations to make sure our

contract processes and procedures receive strict compliance. Also, we recently passed legislation to ban felons from running for office and amended our Code of Ethics to, among other things, bring penalties against anyone within or outside of government, who tries to induce any county officer or employee from violating their ethical obligations.

Alexander T. Melton, DEM, WFP, REF, WEP

A: We cannot reform our political system by continuing to elect the same officials expecting them to take a stand for ethics and decency. First, we need an independent inspector general to ensure the sanctity of contracting in Nassau.

This new office would be entirely independent of the Executive and Legislator and be able to investigate contracts taking up with the county to ensure their sanctity. Next, we need to continue with reforms of the County Ethics Board. When the most likely source of corruption is to arise from the office of County Executive, their role in the selection of ethics board members must be minimal or nonexistent. Ethics reforms is incredibly important to me and will be one of my top priorities once elected to the Legislature.

District 14

Robert C. Pena, DEM, WFP, WEP

A: As a medical student, I have chosen a career-path that is entirely focused on the provision of care and aid to the general public, while maintaining the highest ethical standards and placing others before myself in my work. I therefore take the issue of political integrity very seriously, and as such, propose the following: 1. Institution of term limits for several county positions, 2. Appointment of an Anti-Corruption Officer to oversee the County Executive’s office as a bipartisan-appointed, independent third-party, 3. Public release of all county revenues and expenses every month in a transparent, easy-to-read manner, 4. Institution of a social media platform to send out referendums on major pieces of legislation prior to being voted upon, so the people may express their concerns, 5. Institution of

more “town-hall” style meetings on a regular basis between county officials and their constituents, etc.

Laura M. Schaefer, REP, CON, IND, REF

A: The past several years has seen multiple politicians from both sides of the aisle indicted or convicted for breaches of the public trust. In response the Legislature has passed numerous laws to enhance the oversight and transparency of County government including new disclosure requirements for lobbyists, vendors and consultants, detailed business histories for those who do business with the County, political campaign disclosures for vendors and the hiring of a procurement compliance director and commissioner of investigations to ensure all contract processes and procedures receive strict compliance.

Recently the Legislature also banned felons from running for office and amended the County Code of Ethics to include, among other things, a politically diverse Board of Ethics, mandated ethics training for County officers and employees, enhanced contractual disclosure and penalties for anyone who attempts to induce any county officer or employee from violating their ethical obligations. ...............................

Q: Having the financial

resources to live in Nassau County is becoming increasingly difficult. What strategic plans do you have on the county level to support and partner with the various municipalities to create more affordable housing for young adults, working families and seniors?

District 15

John R. Ferritti II, REP, CON, IND, TRP, REF

A: As a lifelong resident of Levittown, I have seen many friends that I grew up with move away from Nassau County. Ensuring young adults can remain in Nassau County is an issue that is of paramount importance to me. The number one concern I have heard walking door to door from residents of the 15th legislative district is property taxes. see LEG RACES on page 20A

ANTON ELECTION COVERAGE LEG RACES from page 19A We must hold the line on property taxes, as I believe the high cost is the number one reason young people leave Nassau, and working families and seniors struggle. To do this, and still generate necessary revenue, I believe we must attract more business to Nassau, which expands the tax base. I have worked diligently as a member of the Town of Hempstead Industrial Development Agency to bring business and jobs to the Town of Hempstead, while at the same time, increasing transparency and ensuring residential property taxes have not increased. I hope to bring those same principles and policies to Nassau County.

Michael J. Sheridan, DEM, WFP, WEP

A: Legislators, Town elected officials and the building trades need to cooperate and work on building more affordable housing around train stations and downtowns, around future HUBS, and closer to shopping and transit (buses and trains) systems that allow for them to get around safely and effectively.

And are affordable. Strict adherence standards need to be upheld also, as some developers have promised more affordable units—only to focus more on higher cost housing in some projects. Zoning laws in regard to affordable apartments have begun to change in towns like Hicksville, Farmingdale, Mineola and others that allow for the creating of such projects. And need to continue to allow downtown zoning changes.

Consider legalizing some illegal apartments, as other towns like Babylon have done. This would eliminate dangerous living conditions, and bring end users more into the light, thus acknowledging the burden of sanitation services and building inspection they create.

District 16 Angel Cepeda, REP, CON, REF

A: Whether as Executive Director

of Action Long Island, (a business advocacy organization), or a member of the Long Island Sustainable Business Council, I have been a leader in the fight for regional economic improvement. I support economically sustainable and

Arnold Drucker, DEM, WFP, WEP

A: First, I support and will work with the Governor’s shared service model in order to implement real efficiencies and streamline government.

My colleagues and I look forward to expanding this model in order to generate and maximize real savings for taxpayers through inter-municipal coordination. Re-allocation of resources and restructuring of responsibilities must be done in a smart, thorough, and careful way so as to identify areas of waste without causing large numbers of job losses for hardworking families. Savings created through the sharing of services, in conjunction with supporting “smart growth” zoning laws and land use policies, can be used to help to create more affordable housing for young adults, working families, and seniors in existing communities and in proximity to transit facilities, transit-oriented communities. ...............................

I remain a vocal supporter of the Country Pointe at Old Bethpage development; am actively working with stakeholders of the Westbury Downtown Revitalization project which includes transit oriented housing for young adults and working families; am following closely the Hicksville Downtown Revitalization project and am engaged with key stakeholders of the Cerro Wire development in Syosset.

District 17

Ramandeep S. Arora, DEM, WFP, WEP

A: I fully support the creation of an

independent redistricting commission for the County, and the best way do this is to really help people understand how political gerrymandering has truly hurt our County. I will gladly make this issue a main priority if I am elected. There is simply no way to justify how our current boundaries are drawn, and elected officials who have participated in political gerrymandering to protect themselves need to be replaced this Election Day.

Rose Marie Walker, REP, CON, IND, REF

A: New York State Law unambigu-

ously places the responsibility for adoption of legislative district lines for Nassau County with the Nassau County Legislature. Our Charter, adopted by referendum, mandates a process that engages political expertise and public input. New York State Law and legal guidance from both state and federal courts provide for standards that can objectively allow decision makers to adopt a plan that protects the constitutional goal of “one person, one vote” As a Legislator in the 17th L.D., I am always willing to discuss improvements to this process. However, the law and the democratic process place this great responsibility on elected officials.

District 18

Joshua Alexander Lafazan, DEM, WFP, IND, REF, WEP

A: I support a bipartisan solution to

end gerrymandering. We need an independent commission chosen on the basis of their abilities, NOT their political affiliations. This would be accomplished by hiring an executive search firm to act independently in choosing the members of this commission. The sole requisite would be an individual’s knowledge and skill to complete the fair redistricting of Nassau County with drawn boundaries, not influenced by either the Republicans or Democrats. Fairer legislative maps will mean more competitive elections, thus ensuring that our elected officials will be more accountable to the voters which they serve.

CAMPS&SCHOOLS Breaking Down IEPs

BY ALLISON EICHLER EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

It happens every year. A child comes home from school and says their classmate was taken out of the room during a subject lesson or they were taking a test and their classmate was able to have an extra 20 minutes to work. The child wonders why their classmate is getting special treatment. These accommodations in the classroom occur because of a student’s Individual Education Program (IEP).

In other words, the student is receiving a special education because they have some sort of disability.

A

What is an IEP?

n IEP is the product of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) which promises that, within every school district, children with a disability are entitled to a free and appropriate public education.

Part of this education includes an IEP. “Every year, when the child is eligible and receiving special education, the parents and teachers and whoever else is involved with working with the student sit down and have a meeting and talk,” said Julie A. Yindra, Director of Student Access Services at Hofstra University. “[The IEP] outlines what the specific goals are for the student…and the whole idea

is that it’s the document that binds the school to the agreement of ‘this is what we’re going to work on with the student.’”

Along with including a student’s individual goals, the IEP also includes any sort of therapy and other accommodations that must be made for the student during the school day. The document is rewritten with each academic year to include new sets of goals and expectations.

The goals made for the student are broken up into smaller benchmarks so teachers can have “a guideline for what they’re doing with the student to make sure that [the student is] making progress toward the goal at the end of the year.”

How does a student become eligible to receive an IEP?

Before writing and integrating the IEP into their education, the student must first be deemed eligible for special education. Either a parent or teacher may notice that something isn’t quite right with the student’s progress in the classroom, and then the parent will contact the school or the school will contact the parent. There is a referral process in which “somebody has to determine that the student is struggling in some way in the school setting,” Yindra said.

In the case of an obvious physical disability, eligibility is near automatic. For something like a learning

Forcing Apologies

CAMPS SCHOOLS &

M A R K E T P L A C E

When a child is involved in a conflict, as a reflex many parents will offer this directive: “say you’re sorry.”

While the intention may be to repair the situation, it does not always teach the lesson intended. Encouraging apologies teaches social skills. Forcing an apology can have an adverse effect.

A forced apology does not change behavior. If children only say they are sorry to get out of being in trouble, they do not learn what an apology is really supposed to accomplish—remorse and repair. The chances that the child may be less likely to commit this act are low when apologies are forced and insincere.

Young children typically have an underdeveloped “theory of mind,” and, therefore, may not have a clear understanding of the perspective of others. “Theory of mind” is the ability to understand one’s owns beliefs, desires, and knowledge and to understand that those of others may be different from one’s own. Children may be forced to apologize when they do not yet have the capacity to understand how they have made others feel and, therefore, forcing an apology is forcing a child to lie. Furthermore, when forced to apologize, children learn to say what is expected versus learning to act on what they authentically feel. This impedes the development of a healthy sense of self.

Support your child in brainstorming how to repair the situation. Ask him what he could do to help his friend feel better or to make things better with him. Some repair attempts include offering a hug if the other person is receptive; helping to rebuild the creation that was knocked down; sharing the item that caused the disagreement; drawing a picture for the friend to show he feels bad. These gestures help children learn to correct mistakes and repair relationships.

Ask your children how they think the negative act/words made the other person feel. Ask them to recall a time someone hurt them. Ask the children to remember that feeling and to think about how they now have made the other person feel the same way. Offer them suggestions about what they could do differently next time.

Help your children communicate feelings and needs and teach them how to listen to what the other person says and feels. Offer your children the opportunity to calm down before

PARENTING MATTERS Graziella Simonetti repairing or apologizing.

Model for your children how to offer sincere apologies. If you offer mindless apologies, children will learn to do the same. When you apologize in front of, or to, your children, look the person in the eye and say: “I am sorry for....” and explain the act that warranted the apology. Apologize for making the other person feel sad. You can demonstrate empathy by making a statement such as: “I feel sad when someone yells at me, so I should not yell at you.”

Offer additional repair attempts such as offering to do an activity together or offering to help the other person.

Conclusion

Apologizing is an important social skill. Sometimes, apologies become a ritual. The goal is to have these apologies become sincere, to help children understand the meaning, and to encourage children to express genuine remorse. Experts believe that what is most important is helping children learn to take responsibility and to repair relationships.

school?’ That’s when they make the determination about placement in special education.”

When looking for a diagnosable disability, the committee looks for carryover in multiple environments; they look for a consistent pattern of lack of educational attainment that has no other explanation.

disability that must be diagnosed, the student must be referred for an evaluation. A committee within the school, usually consisting of special education professionals, the school psychologist, regular education teachers and an administrator, will meet and review the referred student’s case.

The committee will screen the student for sensory issues such as vision and hearing problems.

Once those issues are ruled out, the committee will recommend that the teacher try new teaching strategies or provide an accommodation to help the student perform better in the classroom. If at this point the student is still not doing better, more extensive testing is done. An IQ test and a test of academic achievement will be done to measure how well the student is doing in subjects taught in the classroom in comparison to their peers.

“They start looking for holes, they start looking for things that might be causing a problem,” Yindra said. “Once all the testing is done everybody gets together and looks at all of the results, all of the observations done by teachers. Then they look at the evidence and say, ‘is there evidence that there’s a diagnosable disorder here? Is there evidence that he should be provided with some additional support services in order to help him do better in

Where does the student go for testing?

The student doesn’t need to go outside of the school to receive testing.

If the school psychologist is licensed to do so, they will administer the IQ test. Achievement testing may be performed by a teacher or special education teacher.

How does the student receive special education?

During the IEP meeting when the goals for the student are decided on, placement of the student is also determined. It may be agreed that the student will be in their regular classroom for the entire day, or arrangements may be made to have the student pulled out with a specialist for instruction during certain subjects.

Placement is dependent on the extent of the needs of the student.

Yindra said that today the most common method of administering

special education is the inclusion model.

“The inclusion model is a general education teacher in a regular classroom who team teaches with a specially trained teacher in special education, and they work together to make sure that all of the students’ needs are met within the regular classroom.”

At some point in the student’s academic career it may even be decided that they no longer need special education.

“Students exit in and out of special education all the time,” Yindra said.

“It doesn’t mean that they’re cured; it means that they’re functioning independently in the environment without any special considerations.”

How early in life should the student be referred?

Early recognition and intervention

is very important for the student.

Getting them the help that they need as early as possible is crucial to helping them learn and keep up with their peers.

It is especially important for parents to be involved as soon as they notice something is amiss and to reinforce positive behavior from the classroom. If a teacher is using a gold star system to encourage proper behavior from the student, the parents should be cooperating with the teacher by utilizing that system at home in order to keep the message to the student consistent.

Getting children the help they need is essential to their success, so Yindra stressed that parents must not be afraid to reach out.

“Part of the problem…is that parents are reticent to engage in the referral process and the identification and the eligibility process,” she said.

Yindra also stressed the importance of not being afraid of disability and its associated labels and the blame that parents may put on themselves when their child receives a diagnosis.

“Disability is not inherently a bad thing,” she said. “What’s bad is our environment is not designed for everybody to have equal access.

That’s the problem. Disabilities are simply part of the spectrum of human condition.”

Identifying And Preventing Childhood Bullying

BY ALLISON EICHLER EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

October is National Bullying Prevention Month and it’s a problem that affects millions of children across the nation each year. According to a study on stopbullying.gov, 49 percent of children in grades 4 through 12 reported being bullied by other students at least once during the past month.

There are two modes and four types through which bullying can occur.

The two modes are direct, in which the target is present, and indirect, in which the target is not present. The four types are physical, like kicking and punching; verbal, such as teasing; relational, including spreading rumors and purposeful exclusion; and digital, where mean messages or images can be sent and spread.

The American Society for the Positive Care of Children (ASPCC) describes kids who are obsessed with popularity, like to be in charge of others, are aggressive or have friends who are bullies as those who are more likely to become bullies themselves.

Children who think badly of others, don’t follow rules and view violence in a positive way are also more prone to becoming a bully.

A lack of attention from parents,

being bullied by a sibling or witnessing parents’ inability to peacefully deal with conflict are more personal factors that can cause a child to become a bully, according to STOMP Out Bullying.

In the case of your child being the bully, KidsHealth.org recommends trying to understand the reason behind their behavior. Speak firmly with them about the negative impacts their behavior is having on others. Teach that it is wrong to ridicule others because of their differences and remind them that

bullying, in any form, is unacceptable.

Most at risk of being a target of bullying are those who are perceived as being different from their peers, are unable to defend themselves, are less popular, and have low self-esteem.

Stopbullying.gov, an extensive resource on all things bullying-related, explains how children are often afraid to come forward and reach out for help when they are the victim of bullying because they fear a negative response from their parents or feel ashamed

that this is happening to them. If you suspect your child is dealing with a bullying issue, it is important to know how to respond.

According to the ASPCC, reluctance to go to school, headaches, stomachaches, reduced appetite, anxiety, irritability, aggression and depression are just a few of the most common effects bullying can have on a child. The child will often develop a feeling of low self-esteem due to the constant attack on their sense of status and identity.

KidsHealth.org recommends that parents should always have open communication with their child about bullying and to the child that being bullied, that it is not their fault and they aren’t alone. Teach them to tell a trusted adult at school and stand up to the bully by simply telling them to stop and walk away. If you suspect your child is being cyberbullied, limit their access to technology and be aware of how they spend their time online.

Suffolk Stop Bullying emphasizes that if your child is a witness of bullying, it is important they know to not be a bystander.

Know who your child is. The better you know their personality, the better you can address their situation and help offer a solution.

Bullying is, unfortunately, a problem that has not escaped the hallways of Long Island schools. However, there are plenty of organizations devoted to raising awareness and combating the issue specifically around the Island.

LICAB’s mission is “emphasizing the importance of bully free communities on Long Island through education, increased awareness and therapeutic outlets.” The organization offers care packages, financial assistance to those seeking therapy, works with schools to create anti-bullying programs and assemblies, and has both a youth leadership program and a peer mentoring program.

American In Every Way:

A Dreamer’s Dream

Kevin Berrezueta is a 23-year-old senior at Baruch College majoring in international business, lives in Roslyn, was an honor student in high school, worked at Diane’s Bakery, is a loving son—and a DACA recipient.

DACA, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, was rescinded by the Trump administration on Sept. 5, has served as a lifeline for undocumented youth brought here by their parents. For those who meet the stringent DACA qualifications, they receive temporary relief from deportation, receive a work permit, and can also apply for a drivers license.

Berrezueta was set to travel to Spain this fall to study abroad at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid for five months to complete his degree in international business at Baruch College in Manhattan as a requirement of graduation. While his friends were simply applying for their visas, Berrezueta had a different set of hurdles to clear as a DACA recipient.

At first glance, Berrezueta sounds like any other Long Island college student, American in every way, except on paper. Berrezueta is one of the 800,000 youth around the nation empowered by the program to build their lives here in the United States, for many the only home they know.

His parents traveled here from Ecuador first under a visa and established themselves in Roslyn.

Like many immigrants, they sought to establish themselves here first, before uprooting their children and bringing them to their new home. Finally, the time came to reunite and they brought Berrezueta and his sister home to Roslyn.

“It’s really poor over there, it’s very hard. What you make in a week over here, you might have to do in a month over there,” Berrezueta said.

Berrezueta was 7-years old when he arrived in Roslyn and attended Harbor Hill School, starting in the second grade while also taking English as a Second Language (ESL) courses. He quickly learned the language, thanks to his caring ESL teacher. He soon felt he was fitting in with his fellow students.

However, once he entered high school, he started to see for himself how his status

LONG ISLAND WINS Maryann Sinclair Slutsky would affect his life, eventually coming to the point where he felt almost like an “outcast.”

“A lot of students drove BMWs, Mercedes. I couldn’t even get my license, which was a big hit for me,” Berrezueta said. “I didn’t speak about it. You don’t want other people to think you’re different...”

That started to change as DACA was introduced in 2012. Then, the 18-yearold Berrezueta got a job working at Diane’s Bakery in Roslyn. And, with his new status, he was able to file his taxes for the first time and even receive a modest refund. But, that’s about all the benefits that Berrezueta can receive.

“Yeah, I don’t get [financial aid]...

Even for Obamacare, I couldn’t apply for that because I was DACA. The only things I really do get with DACA is a license, and you get a work permit which you have to [renew] every two years,” Berrezueta said.

As Berrezueta neared completing his degree in international business at Baruch, the senior still needed to study abroad for a semester to complete the program. And so, he applied to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) as early as he could for “advanced parole,” which would allow him to temporarily leave the country and return.

His girlfriend, Lauren McLatchy,

was also set to travel with Berrezueta to Spain and quit her job working for Northwell Health. Confident he would be approved, Berrezueta also quit his job at Diane’s Bakery.

Berrezueta was meticulous in applying for the advanced parole, but despite his diligence, he failed to receive a timely response. He was consistently met with delays, different answers, and red tape.

As a last resort, he reached out to Congressman Tom Suozzi in August to see if he might help put in a word to expedite his application. The congressman reached

out to the USCIS, but to no avail.

Adding to that, the termination of DACA was announced Sept. 5, the day before the Spanish semester would begin, crushing Berrezueta’s dream to study abroad. “...I was ‘this close’ to having this beautiful experience as well, but I was denied. I don’t have that opportunity; I have to ask permission to travel,” Berrezueta said.

He’ll be graduating, but he can’t help but wonder about the uncertain future ahead of him with his DACA expiring in November 2018.

“Yeah, so I’m going to graduate and then what’s going to happen next?

[That] is the scary part. Basically you have two choices, after that you either stay illegally, but now they have all your information and can just kick you out,” Berrezueta said.

By Trump rescinding DACA, Berrezueta—like all DACA recipients—will now enter into a “legal limbo” where all their hard work, studying, and potential achievements may only remain a dream rather than a reality. “...We are doing good, this is us... this is what we’re putting back into the communities, ideas, culture, to make it grow, make the economy grow, helping people,” Berrezueta said.

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND Across the Continent

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ve set goals and achieved them -- plenty of times! You’ve also done the opposite. Now you’re not sure whether you should even bother making a goal out of the endeavor at hand. Perhaps it’s better to handle it without upping the expectations. At least set up a system, so you can get to love a process.

Solution: 26 Letters

© 2017 Australian Word Games Dist. by Creators Syndicate Inc.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You feel like a character in someone else’s story. Well, that’s some big-time information right there. Are you getting the message? Everything points to this: It’s time to get back inside your own book. You’re the main character in that story, and it’s mostly still unwritten.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your life happens wherever you are. So those who say that home is where your life happens (or work is where your life happens, or vacation or wherever) -- they are missing the point. It’s now. It’s always now. Part of you feels like you’ve been on hold. Release the hold.

This week shows you getting better and better and filling out the now.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have quite a bit to say on the topic of discussion rending around you, but you’ll probably take advantage of the restrained mood and incredible self-discipline that is your cosmic gift this week and go in another direction. You’ll remain silent until it matters. You’ll speak when it counts. You’ll have impact.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A sandwich has the bread on the outside. If the bread isn’t on the outside, it’s not a sandwich. The order in which things are done will matter quite a lot. You could do the exact same things, but in a different order, and it wouldn’t work at all. Getting the order right will be a talent of yours this week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You know better than to sit around and wait for opportunity to find you. It never happens that way. Never! People do catch breaks, though. And you’ll definitely get lucky in some way this week. It may not feel like luck, though, because you’ll have already put in so much that it’s just what was due to you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s no need to respond to negativity. You could, but since it wouldn’t make a difference -- and in fact it might make things worse -- the only reason would be to feed your own need to be right.

Don’t worry, though: There will be an ideal time to respond next week. For now, take notes and wait.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s a time to make a decision but more than that there’s a mood that’s right for it. It’s not when you’re hungry or sad or angry. It’s not when you’re over-the-top happy either. Decisions are best made from a neutral, rational and emotionally detached place. You’re likely to reach such a mood on Thursday or Friday.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Honey is said to catch more flies than vinegar or a gallon of gall -- but who wants a bunch of flies buzzing around anyway? This week you’ll be seeking better customers -- customers who are less pesky and are into clean transactions and more appreciative of your offerings.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Have faith that you’ll eventually get there.

Don’t expect to get things right the first time -- or the second, or the 10th.

You will be forming new theories and ways of testing them out, and you will be better, broader, more interesting, funnier and more relatable because you had to explore to get it right.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your leadership will be needed. However, you have guidelines for yourself about when and why you should step in.

If it looks like they will be able to figure it out on their own, you wouldn’t dream of robbing them of the opportunity by coming to the rescue too early.

Good leadership involves believing in people.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). As long as you’re moving, you’re growing (even if it seems like you’re moving backward). This week shakes up your self-definition. You’ll be in the stages of becoming. Don’t even bother trying to pin a label on this. Just experience it. Later you can see how things settle in and give it all a name.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Opt out of a frustrating situation ASAP. You need more freedom to go on the next leg of this journey. Challenge is essential to your happiness in the year ahead. You crave expansion and are always looking ways to grow your knowledge and influence. A breakthrough this month will be followed by a new source of funding. Your influence will grow as you teach others to do what comes so naturally for you. Love will empower you. A tenderhearted person will win your loyalty.

P

erhaps the best thing about Halloween, besides the candy of course, is seeing what everyone chooses to dress up as. The holiday has its costume staples, princesses and superheroes and witches galore, but this year the most popular costumes are influenced by pop culture. If you have a costume party on the horizon and are at a loss for what to wear, here are some popular options to inspire you.

Stranger Things

With season two of the supernatural show slated for its Oct. 27 release on Netflix, the hype for Stranger Things is real. $16.99-$39.99; Spirit Halloween.

Baywatch

Wonder Woman

October may not be the ideal month to be strutting the streets in a red one-piece, but this year’s movie remake has lifeguards as a sought-after costume this Halloween. $29.99$49.99; Party City.

Wonder Woman has always been a common costume, but with the movie that came out earlier this year, Wonder Woman is going to be more popular than ever before. $49.99; Party City.

Pennywise

Remember the mass clown sightings of 2016? It’s about to happen again, but this time it’s because of the latest live-action version of Stephen King’s It. Find it at Rubie’s Costume Co.

Rise of the Jack O’Lanterns returns

BY BETSY ABRAHAM BABRAHAM@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

W

Expert carvers and artists will recreate scenes and characters on more than 20,000 jack-o'-lanterns through the month of October. jack-o’-lanterns depicting famous characters or logos, others are stacked into multi-pumpkin structures and

scenes arranged along the scenic walking trail. It’s all part of fulfilling The Rise’s goal of providing a fall event that audiences of all ages can enjoy.

“Our founder Mike Pollack had an idea for a family-friendly Halloween show. His thought was haunted houses are too scary for small children, but pumpkin patches can be boring for older people,” said Artistic Director Thomas Olton. “We thought, what if there was an event where you could bring everyone, that was spooky but not scary, and legitimately entertaining to children and adults.”

Filling the Gardens with more than 5,000 real pumpkins is no easy task; each week, a small army of more than 75 people carve and arrange

the illuminated gourds into beautiful displays. The jack-o’-lanterns are removed every Monday, and over the course of The Rise, more than 20,000 pumpkins will be carved and put on display.

In addition to the jack-o'-lanterns, guests can enjoy a pumpkin patch and live carving demonstrations, where visitors can see the experts at work and even pick up some tips.

“It’s truly a unique experience,” said Olton of The Rise. “Audiences should expect to see something they’ve never seen before. It’s an immersive and magical experience.”

Rise of the Jack O’Lanterns takes over Old Westbury Gardens through Oct. 29. Advance tickets are required.

hile some see a pumpkin, the masterminds behind the Rise of the Jack O’Lanterns see a canvas. And there will be plenty of orange canvases on display this weekend at Old Westbury Gardens, as the Rise of the Jack O’Lanterns returns for its sixth year.

A fall favorite, The Rise puts more than 5,000 elaborately carved pumpkins on display each weekend through October. And these aren’t your average gourds; the pumpkins are intricately sliced and cut into the image of movie stars, pop culture figures, animals, motorcycles and more.

While some are traditional

Each week, more than 75 people carve and arrange the illuminated gourds into beautiful displays.
