People could see firsthand the impact that Ms. P and Bea had on many lives.

The tributes were presented as gifts to the families at night’s end.

The turnout for the vigil was impressive, with the community standing shoulder to shoulder. Several of Ms. P’s colleagues and student musicians performed. Loved ones shared memories and stories. Students spoke about Ms. P and the impact she had

on their lives. Farmingdale Superintendent of Schools Paul Defendini talked about the outpouring of support by the community during this difficult time.

“I am often asked, ‘What is a Daler?’

I have never been able to answer that question fully until tonight. Looking out at this crowd, knowing what you have done in service to others, the answer has suddenly become entirely uncomplicated. What is a Daler? We are. We are Dalers, and as a husband, a father, a son, a friend, a coach, and a humble helper to the Farmingdale Community, I can say without any pretense or reservation that I love our Daler family...

I look forward to showing the world what is possible with unconditional compassion and love.”

HOSPICE IS ABOUT LIFE Hospice can be an uncomfortable topic. But the comfort and care it provides can greatly ease sadness, pain and fear during a difficult time. From medical support to peace of mind, understanding what hospice has to offer can help people decide if, and when, it's right for them. Some things you may not know:

1.

2.

3.

It's usually at home.

Comfort, familiarity and the presence of loved ones are everything during these times.

It's typically covered by insurance.

Most patients qualify through Medicaid, Medicare or private insurance.

It can last up to six months.

Many people would benefit by entering hospice earlier.

4.

It includes full medical care.

5.

It's not just for patients.

6.

Hospice isn't about death.

It's about life.

A hospice team can include doctors, visiting nurses, social workers and other care providers.

Loved ones can receive counseling, learn how to help and much more.

Hospice helps make this difficult time more comfortable, supportive and dignified.

Talking about hospice can be hard.

We're here to help you understand the decisions and choices you may face along the way.

Massapequa Students Give Thanks To The Heroes In Blue By wearing blue and writing thank-you letters, students at Birch Lane Elementary School in the Massapequa School District honored their community’s protectors last month. The school celebrated Thank a Police Officer Day, recognized across the county every September.

There were classroom discussions about the roles of police officers, from keeping people safe to providing life-saving care. The conversations were engaging, informative and insightful, as many students have parents and other family members in law enforcement.

The focus of the second grade social studies curriculum is community, so students listened to a reading of The Police Are Part of Our Community in Colleen McCree and Gabriella Fielding’s second grade class.

They talked about how police officers can

help in different scenarios.

The second-graders have also been learning how to write friendly letters. With students throughout the school penning letters to officers at the Nassau County Police Department’s 7th Precinct, they were able to use this new knowledge.

First-graders in Vanessa Apfelbaum’s class also devoted some time to writing thank-you letters with personalized messages of gratitude. She read Officer Buckle and Gloria to students about an officer who gives school safety presentations along with his police dog. Thank a Police Officer Day was also a fitting end, Ms. Apfelbaum said, to a week in which students learned about different American heroes.

Moriches Field Brewing Company received $18,750 to revitalize an empty downtown space.

(Cheers to that.)

Revitalization grants are just one of the ways we help businesses on Long Island and in the Rockaways.

For Moriches Field Brewing Company, a grant from our economic development program was a perfect fit to help them renovate a previously vacant property. A discount through our Vacant Space Revival Program saved them more than $4,000 on their electric bills, and rebates for upgrading to LED lighting are keeping them saving month after month.

Helping revitalize our Island, one business at a time, is something we’re proud to be part of and something definitely worth celebrating.

OP-ED EXCLUSIVE

Great Neck Ex-pat’s Personal Journal Of Attack On Israel

DIANA BLETTER editors@antonmediagroup.com

I

am a writer but it’s hard for me to put together one coherent sentence to explain what we have just experienced in Israel. More than 1,200 men, women, children, and babies slaughtered. More than 2,000 people wounded. More than 400 people kidnapped. Missing.

Hamas barbarically murdered entire families in their homes. Reportedly beheaded babies. Set people’s houses on fire and burned them alive.

I have never really been scared living here, in the place I’ve called home since 1991. When I moved here from Great Neck, I was idealistic, hopeful—and naïve. I didn’t understand the mentality of the Middle East. I kept myself going by believing that when Hamas and Hezbollah said they wanted to destroy Israel, they didn’t really mean it. Like other people, I just assumed they wanted “justice” for the Palestinians. It was hard for me, a liberal thinker, to understand that when Iranian leaders said—and continue to say—they want to “wipe Israel off the map,” they mean it. Just like Hitler meant it.

Israelis have always used humor to get through tough times. A few years after I arrived, I went to get my hair cut in the nearby town of Nahariya when sirens went off, telling people to go immediately into bomb shelters.

“What should I do?” I asked Miro, the haircutter.

“Well, if you’re going to die, at least die beautiful,” he replied.

That was then.

This is now, and there are no funny quips. Nothing to say.

Even during the last war in Lebanon, in 2006, when my older son got wounded, and his fellow Israeli-American soldier, Michael Levin, from Pennsylvania, was killed, I wasn’t this frightened.

I can’t open Facebook or Instagram without seeing the faces of people who look familiar to me. Faces of my country.

Someone killed, someone missing . . .

But I’d like to share some important information so that you understand this conflict.

In 1947, the United Nations voted for the founding of two states: one Jewish and one Arab, on this land.

Jews overwhelmingly accepted the decision, and the Arabs not only did

Yishai Wolf’s bomb shelter for his bunny rabbit. (Photos by Diane Bletter) not accept it, the surrounding countries (Lebanon, Egypt, Syria and Jordan) attacked Israel, openly declaring that they would kill all Jews living here. Moreover, these countries actively persuaded local Arabs to move away until their armies destroyed Israel.

Against all odds, Israel won the War of Independence and has continued to exist.

In 1967, Arab countries waged war, lost again, and only as a result of this defeat was Gaza taken by Israel. Before then, it was under Egyptian control.

In 1973, the Arabs once again started war against Israel. They were more successful but they still lost in the end.

The fate of Israel wasn’t clear until the very end. Then, finally, Egypt changed its attitude and made peace with Israel.

Israel gave back to Egypt all the lands taken in 1967, indicating Israel will return land if real peace can be secured.

Israel established peace with Jordan.

In 2020, the Abraham Accords brought peace between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco. Israel was on the verge of making peace with Saudi Arabia.

Unfortunately, a similar apparatus does not work with Palestine. Even when the Oslo Peace Accords began in 1993, with most Israelis wishing for peace, the Palestinian leadership (and their backers) intensified their suicide bombings and killed several thousand Israelis in a few years. In fact, one of the most violent

periods of Israeli history coincided with negotiations which were supposed to give them a state.

In 2000, when former President Clinton tried to negotiate a deal between Israel and the Palestinians, and once again when former Prime Minister Ehud Barak offered them almost everything they requested, including East Jerusalem and all the West Bank, they once again increased the violence until the negotiations failed.

This has happened again and again.

The explanation for this irrational and illogical behavior is simple.

Hamas and Iran-sponsored Hezbollah are not interested in making peace with Israel despite all the benefits in education, culture, well-being, tolerance, humanity, and peace. When people say, “Free Palestine,” that means free Palestine of Israel. And the Jews.

I need to stress one final point. When a friend told me she pitied the people in Gaza, I said now is not the time to pity them. It’s like pitying Germans in Nazi Germany during the Holocaust.

Westerners have big hearts. We care.

But when we pity the people in Gaza, Hamas uses our compassion to justify these massacres.

All the humanitarian aid money—billions and billions of dollars—didn’t go for the betterment of people in Gaza.

Beginning in kindergarten, internationally-funded Gaza schools teach children to hate Jews. Gaza summer camps play

games about murdering Jews.

Hamas has used charitable donations for weapons. Do not be fooled into thinking that it is because of Israel that life in Gaza is miserable. Hamas leaders want people’s lives there to stay miserable to further their cause.

We live 12 miles from the northern border with Lebanon. Hezbollah has stockpiled more than 150,000 rockets and missiles pointed in our direction, under the auspices of United Nations “peacekeepers.”

Israelis have banded together to help one another. One of my daughters is bringing food to elderly people living alone; the other is cooking meals for evacuees. My stepdaughter, Libi, has spent the last week taking care of two little boys whose father was one of the first soldiers to be killed on Saturday, when he led a hostage rescue intervention in Kibbutz Re’im. Libi’s youngest son has just finished sewing a shirt for his stuffed animal, a bunny rabbit. He also made it a bomb shelter in a shoe box, so it can be safe when the bombings begin.

Diana Bletter is a published author.

Her latest work The Loving Yourself Book For Women was published on May 28, 2023. She is a 1974 alumnae of Great Neck South High School.

Editor’s note: the current conflict in Israel-Gaza is a developing story, and information about the war will change.

Congressman George Santos Charged Counts include conspiracy, wire fraud, false statements, falsification of records, aggravated identity theft and credit card fraud

A

23-count superseding indictment has been filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, charging George Anthony Devolder Santos, better known as “George Santos,” the United States Representative for the Third District of New York, with one count of conspiracy to commit offenses against the United States, two counts of wire fraud, two counts of making materially false statements to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), two counts of falsifying records submitted to obstruct the FEC, two counts of aggravated identity theft, and one count of access device fraud, in addition to the seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds, and two counts of making materially false statements to the United States House of Representatives that were charged in the original indictment. Santos is due back in federal court in Central Islip on October 27, 2023.

Partnering In Action

Change For

Tomorrow

As alleged in the superseding indictment, Santos, who was elected to Congress last November and sworn in as the U.S. Representative for New York’s Third Congressional District on January 7, 2023, engaged in two fraudulent schemes, in addition to the multiple fraudulent schemes alleged in the original indictment.

The Party Program Scheme During the 2022 election cycle, Santos was a candidate for the United States House of Representatives in New York’s Third Congressional District. Nancy Marks, who pleaded guilty on October 5, 2023 to related conduct, was the treasurer for his principal congressional campaign committee, Devolder-Santos for Congress. During this election cycle, Santos and Marks conspired with one another to devise and execute a fraudulent scheme to obtain money for the campaign by submitting materially false reports to the FEC on behalf of the campaign, in which they inflated the

� YES �::n::i�i Cenle,

campaign’s fundraising numbers for the purpose of misleading the FEC, a national party committee, and the public.

Specifically, the purpose of the scheme was to ensure that Santos and his campaign qualified for a program administered by the national party committee, pursuant to which the national party committee would provide financial and logistical support to Santos’s campaign.

To qualify for the program, Santos had to demonstrate, among other things, that his congressional campaign had raised at least $250,000 from third-party contributors in a single quarter.

To create the public appearance that his campaign had met that financial benchmark and was otherwise financially viable, Santos and Marks agreed to falsely report to the FEC that at least 10 family members of Santos and Marks had made significant financial contributions to the campaign, when Santos and Marks both knew that these individuals had neither

made the reported contributions nor given authorization for their personal information to be included in such false public reports. In addition, understanding that the national party committee relied on FEC fundraising data to evaluate candidates’ qualification for the program, Santos and Marks agreed to falsely report to the FEC that Santos had loaned the campaign significant sums of money, when, in fact, Santos had not made the reported loans and, at the time the loans were reported, did not have the funds necessary to make such loans. These false reported loans included a $500,000 loan, when Santos had less than $8,000 in his personal and business bank accounts.

Through the execution of this scheme, Santos and Marks ensured that Santos met the necessary financial benchmarks to qualify for the program administered by the national party committee. As a result of qualifying for the program, the congressional campaign received

COLUMNS

Challenges Ahead For New Interim LIRR President Robert Free The appointment of Long Island Rail Road Senior Vice President of Operations Robert Free as interim LIRR President by MTA Chairman Janno Lieber is a refreshing selection. This was probably first run by NY Governor Kathy Hochul for her blessing. There was always no way Acting LIRR President Catherine Rinaldi could give her full attention to this critical full time position.

There was never enough hours in the day while wearing two hats.

She also served as Metro North Rail Road President. The same should apply to Acting LIRR President Free. He should promote his Deputy or second in command to fill his shoes and become Acting LIRR Vice President of Operations.

This way Free can devote 100 percent of his time managing the nation’s largest commuter rail road.

Free may need to become more familiar with planned future capital projects and programs in coming years. This should include a briefing by MTA HQ staff who prepared the MTA 2025 - 2044 Twenty Year Capital Needs Plan. It was released first week of October.

Port Washington branch commuters are shocked that the price tag has grown from $40 million in 2015 to $210 million for reopening the Elmhurst station closed in 1982.

Port Jefferson branch commuters are concerned about double tracking electrification project between Huntington and Port

PENNER STATION Larry Penner

Jefferson station cost growing from $2 to $3 billion. I believe that the real current cost is $3.5 billion. Free should also be briefed on the status of previous unfulfilled promised commitments by both former LIRR President Phil Eng and outgoing interim LIRR President Rinaldi. It should include the critical potential for electrification of all diesel territory branches study. This feasibility study began under Eng three years ago. To the best of my knowledge, it was never completed and made public.

Free will need to meet the challenge of excessive overtime for LIRR’s share of a record MTA $1.3 billion in 2022. It continues to grow in 2023. His immediate predecessors, Rinaldi (2022 - 2023) and Philip Eng (2018 - 2022) both failed to significantly reduce excessive employee overtime.

There is still the need to deal

with significant overtime abuse and out of control pensions.

Employees with seniority in their last year of employment enjoy excessive overtime. This results in record pensions upon retirement the following year. MTA management needs to reduce mandatory excessive overtime and double shifts to complete capital projects.

Free also needs to deal with the LIRR’s share of ongoing fare evasion. It continues to be difficult to collect fares periodically during rush hour or major sporting events when riders are standing in the aisles and vestibules. Ditto when trains are combined and cancelled.

There is no room for conductors to walk thru the train and collect fares.

This work on all four tunnels is less than a year away, including two that suffered significant damages from 2012 Super Storm Sandy. It will not be completed until 2027. It will require one of two tunnels damaged by Super Storm Sandy being out of service at a time for one year to support this work.

The other two tunnels will need similar work. With only three of four tunnels available, there will be a reduction in Penn Station access and capacity. To preserve existing service, many LIRR rush hour trains will be canceled or combined. Until this work is over, it will be impossible to guarantee safe and reliable on time service to Penn Station for LIRR commuters.

The LIRR needs to develop a new Penn Station service plan and make it public to riders prior to Amtrak initiating this work.

Free will need to develop a relationship with the Federal Transit Administration Region 2 New York office. It is critical. He should make it a priority to meet with the FTA NY Region 2 Administrator and staff. The FTA provides significant annual capital grants to the LIRR via MTA HQ. Free should quickly come up to speed with LIRR’s FTA federal fiscal year 2023 and future 2024 Program of Projects for the various FTA grant programs.

Timely access to FTA formula and national competitive discretionary grant programs will continue to play a critical role in assisting the LIRR reaching a state of good repair for existing fleet, stations, signals, interlockings, track, power, yards and shops. Expanding the number of stations that are in compliance with ADA is another priority. Ensuring that maintenance programs for all assets are fully funded and completed on time to so riders get safe and reliable service. Completing capital projects on time, within budget with a minimum of justified contract change orders will help build Frees credibility with FTA , Albany, other funding agencies, Long Island commuters, Queens, Nassau and Suffolk county, state and federal elected officials, taxpayers and transit advocacy groups.

Avoiding Political Discussions The past few years have been very difficult times for people who enjoy having socially friendly discussions. Because politics has become such a divisive subject, friendly discussions have become a rarity. Friends stop talking to friends as soon as someone mentions either Trump or Biden.

Relatives stopped having Sunday dinners because of some dispute over a partisan issue.

All in all, politics has invaded our daily lives and not in a good way. The real question is how do we stay on good terms with our friends and relatives without the intrusion of political bickering?

I have tested a few ways to deal with this crisis of social interaction. Step one to keeping a good relationship with a longtime friend? It isn’t that complicated.

Just start the conversation with some distant subject that is totally

INSIDE POLITICS Jerry Kremer

divorced from party enrollment.

I usually begin by asking if your friend has an opinion about the Giants, Jets, Mets or Yankees? If you get no response tell him or her some joke you heard recently.

Mention Taylor Swift as she is

loved by all. If that fails take out the latest photo of a grandchild.

If you are too young to have any grandchildren, then show them a family photo and keep the subject simple and friendly.

If you had a recent argument with your best pal, start out the conversation by suggesting that you talk about anything other than politics. In short tell them “let’s agree to disagree.” When it comes to relatives the situation is a little dicier. Your best bet is to tell your cousin or sibling, “I think you made some good points the last time we talked.”

Then immediately change the subject.

The real test will come at Thanksgiving dinner. There is usually some family member who has stopped talking to another member and sits down at the table with a visible chip on their

shoulder. The angry uncle or cousin is in no mood to heal any bad feelings over your recent remark defending either Joe Biden or Donald Trump.

My solution is to arrange for a family member who is in good standing, to start the dinner making a toast to the grouch praising him for his perpetual youth and his many good deeds for the family over the years. If you know his favorite scotch or wine, have a bottle handy as a way of showing respect and a little flattery. You will notice that I do not mention any females as naysayers, because generally the woman of the house is a pure diplomat.

These suggestions may not work, but at least I tried to restore a little common sense to the great political divide that our country is experiencing.

SANTOS from page 4A The Credit Card Fraud Scheme In addition, between approximately December 2021 and August 2022, Santos devised and executed a fraudulent scheme to steal the personal identity and financial information of contributors to his campaign. He then charged contributors’ credit cards repeatedly, without their authorization. Because of these unauthorized transactions, funds were transferred to Santos’s campaign, to the campaigns of other candidates for elected office, and to his own bank account. To conceal the true source of these funds and to circumvent campaign contribution limits, Santos falsely represented that some of the campaign contributions were made by other persons, such as his relatives or associates, rather than the true cardholders. Santos did not have authorization to use their names in this way.

Santos used the credit card information to make numerous contributions to his campaign and affiliated political committees in amounts exceeding applicable contribution limits, without the Contributor’s knowledge or authorization. To mask the true source of these contributions and thereby circumvent the applicable campaign contribution limits, Santos falsely identified the contributor for one of the charges as one of his relatives. In the following months, Santos repeatedly charged the Contributor’s credit card without the Contributor’s knowledge or authorization, attempting to make at least $44,800 in charges and repeatedly concealing the true source of funds by falsely listing the source of funds as Santos himself, his relatives and other contributors.

On one occasion, Santos charged $12,000 to the Contributor’s credit card, ultimately transferring the vast majority of that money into his personal bank account.

For example, in December 2021, one contributor (the “Contributor”) texted Santos and others to make a contribution to his campaign, providing billing information for two credit cards. In the days after he received the billing information,

ucinda Williams is a survivor. What else do you call someone who survives a debilitating stroke at the age of 67 and rather than give in, she rallied back following a week spent in intensive care in late November 2020 after a blood clot on the right side of her brain impaired the left side of her body’s motor skills?

From here, the Louisiana native endured long rehabilitative stints that forced her to relearn many basic activities like walking. Three years later, Williams is out touring behind Stories From a Rock and Roll Heart, in addition to promoting her warts-and-all memoir Don’t Tell Anybody the Secrets I Told You.

“It wasn’t one of those things where I said, ‘Hey, I’m going to write a book and I’m going to start today,’” she explained. “It sort of just happened over time. The book is just an extension of what I never had enough time to do on stage to go into detail about things. Or maybe I didn’t want to go into detail at that time or in that position, being on stage in front of an audience. When we did the Car Wheels [On a Gravel Road] tour, I went into detail more. And it really just kind of took off.”

Tackling this kind of project took five or six years and while it was started pre-stroke, the singer-songwriter carried the self-imposed pressure of living up to her late father, renowned poet Miller Williams, to whom the book is dedicated.

Williams’ self-admitted perfectionist tendencies dogged her, particularly given the different writing muscles she had to engage in while trying to write a book.

“I wasn’t used to the looming deadlines that kept rearing its ugly head,” she said. “I kept wanting to fix and change things. I would have a piece that was written. [My husband] Tom [Overby] would type it out and we would send it to the editor and each time they would send the whole draft of the book with that in it. And I would read through the whole thing and I’d want to edit again.

Tom is saying, ‘The book is done Lu. You can’t keep changing things. It’s coming out. It’s done.’ And I’m going, ‘No, no. I’ve got to change this part. It doesn’t sound right. It’s going to hurt someone’s feelings.’ I had a really hard time with that sort of thing.”

Not unlike her songs, Don’t Tell Anybody is poignant, straightforward and honest. Williams’ journey to the commercial success she achieved as a late bloomer “…well into her forties” is well chronicled from a childhood bouncing around with her professor father following her parents’ divorce

LONG ISLAND WEEKLY

and living in 12 cities and two countries (Chile and Mexico) before she was 18 to recording her 1979 debut Ramblin’ On My Mind for storied imprint Folkways Records. Under the best of circumstances, familial dynamics are complicated and so it went for Williams, who unflinchingly writes about grappling with her mother’s mental illness and navigating the relationship with her stepmother, one of her father’s students young enough to be a sibling. But through it all, the reader gets a full taste of Williams’ journey that includes family lore (father Miller crossing paths with Hank Williams, Sr.) and navigating the stop and starts of the music industry that included her being mischaracterized as difficult in the wake of her critical and commercial success with 1998’s Car Wheels On a Gravel Road. But through it all, Williams confesses the process proved to be healing.

“It was all sort of therapeutic,” she admitted. “Writing the book made me miss my mother and my father a lot. As I was going through it, I realized they were really great people.”

And in the middle of all this, Williams stopped long enough to cut Stories From a Rock and Roll Heart, a tight 10-song collection that features cameos from the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Patti Scialfa, Margo Price and Tommy Stinson. And while the stroke robbed Williams of the ability to play guitar, a creative relationship dating back to when she was 12 and was totally gob-smacked by Highway 61 Revisited, she figured out a workaround with the help of Overby and guitar-playing road manager Travis Stephens.

Lucinda Williams will be appearing on October 27 and October 28 at the Beacon Theatre, 74th Street & Broadway, NYC. Visit www.beacontheatre.com or call 866-858-0008 for more information.

Managing A Flooded Basement Steps to take for a swift recovery

11. Monitor for Mold and Mildew

ANTON MEDIA GROUP STAFF

Even with diligent cleanup efforts, mold and mildew can still develop. Monitor your basement for signs of these issues, such as a musty odor or visible growth. If you detect mold, address it promptly to prevent health hazards and further damage.

editors@antonmediagroup.com

A

flooded basement can be a homeowner’s worst nightmare, causing significant damage and disruption.

Whether the flooding is due to heavy rain, a burst pipe, or some other water-related issue, taking prompt and effective action is crucial. In this guide, we will discuss a step-by-step approach to manage a flooded basement, minimizing damage and expediting the recovery process.

1. Prioritize Safety

Safety should be your first concern. Before entering the flooded basement, ensure that it’s safe to do so. Turn off the electricity to the area from the main circuit breaker to avoid the risk of electrocution. If you’re unsure about the safety of your basement, it’s best to wait for professional help.

2. Identify the Source of the Flooding

Determining the cause of the flooding is crucial. If it’s due to a burst pipe or plumbing issue, turn off the main water supply to stop the influx of water. In the case of heavy rain or natural flooding, you may not have control over the source, but understanding it will help when it’s time to address the issue.

3. Remove Standing Water

Once the area is safe to enter, begin removing standing water. Depending on the depth of the flooding, you can use a wet/dry vacuum, a sump pump, or even buckets and mops. Be sure to work carefully to avoid injuring yourself.

4. Salvage Belongings

While dealing with the water, prioritize the salvage of valuable items stored in the

12. Maintain a Basement Emergency Kit

basement. Be mindful of safety, but try to rescue important documents, electronics, and sentimental possessions. Items that have been submerged should be cleaned and dried as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

5. Promote Ventilation

Basements are often poorly ventilated, which can lead to mold growth. Promote ventilation by opening windows, using fans, and running dehumidifiers. Adequate airflow is crucial to preventing mold and mildew in the aftermath of a flood.

6. Assess and Remove Damaged Materials

Inspect the structural integrity of the basement and assess any damage. Remove damaged materials such as soaked drywall, insulation, or carpeting. Be cautious, as water-damaged structures may be unstable.

If you’re unsure, it’s best to consult with a professional.

7. Clean and Disinfect

Thoroughly clean and disinfect the basement to prevent mold growth and bacterial contamination. Use a mixture of water and bleach (one part bleach to nine parts water) to disinfect surfaces. Wear protective gear

like gloves and a mask when working with cleaning agents.

8. Inspect Electrical Systems

Before restoring power to the basement, have an electrician inspect the electrical systems for any damage or potential hazards. Electrical components can be seriously compromised in a flood, and any issues should be addressed by a professional.

9. Check for Water Damage Insurance Coverage

Review your homeowner’s insurance policy to determine whether it covers water damage and flood-related issues. If your basement flooding was due to a burst pipe or another covered event, you may be eligible for a claim. Contact your insurance company as soon as possible to initiate the claims process.

10. Invest in Waterproofing and Prevention

Once your basement is restored, consider investing in waterproofing measures to prevent future flooding. These may include installing a sump pump, improving drainage around your home, and sealing any cracks or vulnerabilities in your basement walls.

Prepare for future flooding by maintaining a basement emergency kit. This kit should include items like a wet/dry vacuum, sump pump, fans, dehumidifiers, and cleaning supplies. Having these items readily available can help you respond quickly in the event of another flood.

13. Consider Professional Assistance

While many homeowners can manage a flooded basement themselves, there are situations where professional assistance is essential. If the flooding is extensive, structural damage is severe, or you’re dealing with sewage-contaminated water, it’s best to consult with experts in water damage restoration and basement repair.

Managing a flooded basement can be a daunting and stressful experience, but taking the right steps can make the recovery process smoother and more effective. Prioritizing safety, identifying the source of the flooding, and taking prompt action to remove water are crucial initial steps. Salvaging belongings, promoting ventilation, and disinfecting the area help mitigate damage and health risks.

Afterward, it’s important to assess and repair any structural damage and consider preventive measures to reduce the risk of future flooding. Remember, while some tasks can be handled by homeowners, it’s always wise to consult with professionals in severe cases to ensure a thorough and safe recovery process.

Let‛s Get Crafty: Finger Pumpkins

When the weather turns colder and the leaves change their colors, it can only mean one thing: it’s fall! Fall time is pumpkin time.

Did you know pumpkins take more than 100 days to grow?

Here’s an easy fall craft to add some pumpkins to your decor.

(Warning: this one gets a little messy!)

Materials: Non-toxic acrylic craft paint in green and orange A black marker Construction paper Two shallow dishes damp paper towels (for easy clean up) Pour a small amount of orange

and green paint into each container. make a fist, then dip the backs of your fingers into the paint. Press your fist onto the construction paper so that the paint makes a pumpkin shape.

Repeat until you have all the pumpkins you want. Wipe off your hand, then dip your thumb into the green. Press this above the orange pumpkin shapes as a stem. Repeat for all the pumpkins you made. Once the paint has dried, use the marker to draw Question: faces What has a head, on the a tail, is brown, pumpkins. and has no legs?

Animal Fact!

Lone Star Tick

Sometimes you can‛t even see a lone star tick because of their tiny size, but don‛t be fooled, these animals can be very dangerous.

Lone star ticks are found mostly in woodlands with dense undergrowth and around animal resting areas. The larvae do not carry disease-carrying germs (though they still inject allergic saliva when they bite), but the nymphal and adult stages can transmit the germs causing illnesses. A tick bite can cause Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis (HME), an illness that can cause symptoms such as fever and fatigue.

Bites from lone star tickets can also spread Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, which can cause a headache, fever and rash. If left untreated, it could also be

deadly. Their bite is associated with the development of a red meat allergy called alpha-gal syndrome, as well as ‘STARI‛ borreliosis, which causes the “bulls eye” lesion that develops around the site of a lone star tick bite. Because it resembles early Lyme disease, physicians will often treat patients with oral antibiotics.

To prevent tick bites, treat clothing and gear with permethrin, an insecticide, and use insect repellents. Wear pants tucked into long socks and tuck in your shirt to protect your skin. Avoid wooded and brushy areas,high grass and leaf litter and walk in the center of trails.

Check clothing, gear and pets, shower after being outdoors, and check your body for ticks.

DEC Hosts Fall Fishing Festival Oct. 21 At Hempstead Lake State Park Free fishing, rods and bait, live animal show, contests, and activities for children at annual Long Island event Fishing Festival really ushers in the season and hooks children and families on the joys of fishing. We hope they will also explore the recently completed multi-year project that includes new trails that are Americans with Disabilities Actcompliant, an observation deck and other vital infrastructure improvements to make the park safer and more resilient to future storms.”

Festival activities include fishing with free loaner rods and bait, fishing instruction, casting instruction, and fish-cleaning services. In addition to fishing opportunities, the festival features

a children’s casting for pumpkins contest, live animal show, magician, pumpkin decorating, fish printing, and a children’s slide, in addition to DEC and State Parks displays.

The fishing license requirement for all anglers over the age of 16 is suspended for this festival, and admission and parking are free.

The children’s casting for pumpkins contest will be held for as long as pumpkins last, during which kids can “catch” a pumpkin and “hook” a prize. Casting contest prizes are provided

by I FISH NY and State Parks.

Prior to the festival, State Parks will stock South and McDonald ponds in

Hempstead Lake State Park with brook and rainbow trout. DEC stocks brown trout in several other waterbodies in Nassau and Suffolk counties, including Upper Twin Pond, Oyster Bay Mill Pond, Massapequa Reservoir, and 12 additional Suffolk County lakes. These stockings will occur by Oct. 27, and provide excellent prospects for fall fishing. A second DEC stocking will occur in early November.

For more information about the festival, call DEC’s I FISH NY Program at (631) 4440283 or Hempstead Lake State Park (516) 7661029 for event status. There is no rain date for this event. For more information about the fall trout stocking program in Nassau and Suffolk counties, call the DEC Bureau of Fisheries at (631) 444-0280. General information on freshwater fishing on Long Island can be found at DEC’s Long Island/NYC Fishing webpage and more information on fishing at DEC’s Fishing webpage.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Long ago you decided, either consciously or unconsciously, that you would be someone extraordinary. Now, doing things a little differently is a habit for you, so much so that sometimes you don’t even notice how you bring a mysterious, exciting and fascinating quality to interactions.

You’ll be recognized for it this week.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Builders of a house can see at any point in the process what’s done and what needs doing. A cake is different. It looks like soup until it doesn’t. This week’s build is more like the cake. It will be hard to tell where you are in the process right up until the cataclysmic moments late in the process. Have faith.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your team may be unofficial, but you know who’s on it. Like the owner of a sports team, sometimes you make trades. Perhaps they are only known to you. You decide to spend more time with people whose interests align with your own, or whose style you would like to understand better.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your needs are changing. This week, you’ll get clear on how to best forward the interests of this new version of yourself. You’ll create alignment within yourself and amongst your team by defining what success looks like and making sure everyone is on the same page.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Modesty serves you especially well when you’re around a hype-person who can sing your praises so you don’t have to.

This won’t always be the case this week. When you’re on your own, it’s awkward to flex, but do it anyway because the scene will need what you’re good at.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). With long-term projects, it can be hard to see the progress as you go, and easy to lose heart. This is why it’s so important to take that “before” data. As daunting as things seem at the beginning, you’ll be that much prouder of yourself when you get to the end. The “before” shot is a gift to future you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). While some people’s lives play out like movies with complicated plots, yours will flicker with style and humor.

Because you’re sophisticated, you don’t need dramatic things to happen to be captivated by people and life. The week holds beauty and nuanced interactions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Jet aircraft can fly over thunderstorms if they can get to an altitude above the cloud tops. This week, you’ll be like a plane that avoids turbulence by rising above it. You’ll lighten your energy, letting go so you can freely soar over a weather system where there’s no turmoil to disturb you or cloud your mind.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You approached an endeavor with a carefree ease once. You ambled. You detoured. You paused in wonder or whim. Then one day, everything came together in a moment of clarity and purpose. Now there’s a point to this. You need to get there quickly and directly. An innate sense kicks in to guide you this week.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS:

Your cosmic birthday gift is a talent for prediction. When you ask who will benefit from this, you’ll clearly see the true answer and aim your efforts accordingly. Your accurate first impressions of endeavors, people and environments will show you where to place your expectations so you never have to waste your time. Creative work, innovation and leadership are areas in which you’ll excel. You’re unblocked and ready to celebrate the changes in your life that inevitably come from bravely following your bliss.

CONTRACT BRIDGE — BY STEVE BECKER

CONTRACT BRIDGE Bidding quiz

You are South, both sides vulnerable, and North opens One Diamond, over which East bids One Spade. What would you bid with each of the following five hands?

1. ♠ AQ6 ♥ 872 ♦ 963 ♣ 9754 2. ♠ Q94 ♥ AJ8 ♦ AQ7 ♣ Q872 3. ♠ KJ9852 ♥ 97 ♦ 84 ♣ Q63 4. ♠ K8 ♥ 102 ♦ AQ95 ♣ AKJ53 5. ♠ 97 ♥ 962 ♦ AJ87 ♣ AQ96 * * *

1. Pass. You presumably would have responded one notrump if East had passed, but you are relieved of that obligation after East intervenes with one spade.

The temptation to bid one notrump to show that you have the spades stopped should be resisted, since such a bid, voluntarily made, indicates a good seven to 10 points rather than just six.

2. Two notrump. The requirements for a jump-response of two notrump — balanced hand with 13 to 15 points — are the same whether there is an intervening bid or not.

True, your spade stopper is a bit tenuous, but this minor blemish does not nullify the descriptive advantage to be gained by bidding two notrump.

3. Pass. For those who play that a double would be for penalties in this situation, there is certainly a strong temptation to take that action here, but from a tactical standpoint, this would be the wrong thing to do. Whenever you double for penalties after partner

has opened the bidding, you are encouraging him to double anything else the opponents bid — and here you are not at all prepared for such a development. Moreover, the double guarantees that you will take further action of some kind if the overcaller’s partner runs to a different suit and your partner passes — and you aren’t ready to do that, either.

4. Three clubs. The best way to alert partner to the possibility of a slam is to start by jump-shifting in clubs. This shows at least 17 points, including distributional values. By bidding clubs now and raising diamonds later, you will imply shortage in either spades or hearts, or possibly both. Once you jump-shift and then support diamonds, you should leave the rest to partner.

5. Two clubs. Here you are confronted by a fairly common situation: Your values are too good for a raise to two diamonds and not good enough for a forcing raise to three diamonds. In other words, your hand is worth a bid of about two-and-a-half diamonds.

The usual way to deal with this dilemma is to first bid a new suit to force partner to bid again, and then raise diamonds later to encourage him to continue bidding. An alternative, now popular with many players, would be to bid two spades, a cuebid of the opponent’s suit, to indicate a hand of 11 or more points with diamond support.

Hicksville High School Homecoming 2023

icksville High School was buzzing with school spirit as students, staff and the community came together to celebrate homecoming.

Despite the rainy weather, the school still hosted its annual Homecoming Fair before the football game by moving the festivities indoors. The activities, games, spirit wear, gift basket raffles, food and refreshments were

offered at various tables around the cafeteria which were operated by students, parents, and school community organizations. Local children were also able to play on the inflatable slides and bouncy houses that were set-up in the gymnasium. Freshman, sophomore, junior and senior classes all participated in the annual banner contest this year with the theme of vintage video games. The

Bethpage Spirit Aplenty At Homecoming Parade And Game It would take more than light rain to stop the Bethpage High School homecoming parade, which went off as planned. Enthusiastic onlookers cheered on students, staff and parents who made the walk from John F. Kennedy Middle School to the high school’s front circle.

The parade featured the marching band, the Bethpage Fire Department and several youth sports leagues. The four classes shared their floats. Seniors invoked the popular Barbie movie with their Seniors Life in a Dreamhouse design. There were also the Jammin’ Juniors, the Scooby Sophomores and the Freshmen Invasion.

By game time, the rain had stopped and a large crowd gathered at Howie C. Vogts Field for the Golden Eagles matchup

against the Floral Park Vikings. The varsity team ran through a “Let’s Go Eagles” banner held up by local youth football players.

Before kickoff, Matthew Schneider sang the National Anthem. This year’s homecoming king and queen were Jordan Martinez and Maria Laina DiMartino.

The halftime show kicked off with a combined performance by the varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders. The marching band then took the field for its 2023 show, “Light Up the Night.” They were joined by the Color Guard and Golden Girls kickline. Band members wore green ribbons and dedicated their performance to the Farmingdale High School marching band.
