Celebrating Veterans In Great Neck JULIE PRISCO jprisco@antonmediagroup.com

T

he American Legion Charles A. Fowler, Jr., Post #160, is hosting its annual Veterans Day Parade and Tribute Ceremony on Saturday, Nov. 11.

Post Commander Louise McCann shared that the parade starts at the Great Neck Alert Firehouse and marches up Middle Neck Road to the Village Green. The parade starts around 10:45 a.m. and ends at the Village Green, where the tribute ceremony begins at 11 a.m.

“All three fire companies, Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts march,” said McCann. “And this year, our parade is being led by the Kellenberg Memorial High School Pipes and Drums.”

The Veteran’s Day tribute ceremony begins at 11 a.m., signifying the time that the Allies and Germany signed an armistice meant to end fighting on the Western Front, a region that included Belgium, France, Italy, Germany, and other bordering countries. As a result, the cease-fire took effect at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

“The other Veterans Associations, the Legion and the VFW, we commemorate, we celebrate Veterans Days because we have to do what needs to be done so our veterans are never forgotten,” said McCann. “We all do it so our veterans are never forgotten.”

McCann joined the American Legion in 2006, shortly after she retired from the U.S. Army in 2004.

U.S. Army Veteran McCann shared that her father’s service inspired her to enlist in 1975.

wonderful women who are combat pilots, we have wonderful women who fly helicopters in combat,” said McCann. “And I told all my young soldiers, the only thing that is going to hold you back in your military career is yourself. You have all the opportunities; you just have to reach out and grab them.”

When McCann moved to Roslyn in 1991, she attended church services at the United States Merchant Marine Academy and met Jim Barton, a U.S. Navy veteran of the Vietnam War. Through Barton, Boy Scouts Troop 10 marching McCann joined the Great Neck Veterans Day Parade, 2021 in the Veterans Day Parade American Legion in 2006.

The Great Neck American Legion’s namesake is Captain Charles A. Fowler Jr., “whose whole family is from Great Neck,” shared McCann.

“Captain Fowler’s name is on the World War I plaque at the Veterans Memorial in Village Green. And his name is also on the Veterans Memorial in Cutter Mill Park.”

LIRR Service Changes On Oct. 22, the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) and Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) released a statement informing riders of LIRR service changes starting on Monday, Nov. 13. The Port Washington Branch, along with the Babylon Branch and the Ronkonkoma Branch, are receiving major weekday changes to its schedules.

The LIRR is making these changes to adjust service levels to match where its data shows customers are riding.

According to the LIRR, below are the changes coming to the Port Washington Branch: We’re making several changes to morning rush hour service to provide more express trains from Nassau County to Penn Station.

After these changes, all five westbound trains departing Port Washington between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. will run to Penn Station, and four of them will be express west of Great Neck.

The 6:47 a.m. train from Port Washington will leave at 6:42 a.m., no longer stop at Little Neck, Douglaston, or Bayside, and run to Penn Station instead of Grand Central, arriving at 7:22 a.m.

The 7:19 a.m. train from Port Washington will run non-stop from Great Neck to Penn Station, arriving at 7:54 a.m.

The 6:28 a.m. and 7:03 a.m. trains from Great Neck will add stops at Little Neck and Douglaston.

The 7:38 a.m. train from Little Neck will start in Great Neck and run to Grand Central instead of Penn Station.

The 7:54 a.m. train from Port Washington to Penn Station will leave 1 minute earlier and add a stop at Bayside at 8:09 a.m.

The 7:11 p.m. train from Port Washington will run to Penn Station instead of Grand Central.

The 8:44 p.m. train from Grand Central to Port Washington will run from Penn Station instead.

The LIRR and MTA encourages riders to check the TrainTime app or schedules to plan their trips and view additional minor changes that may affect their departure and/or transfer times, including on weekends.

Hungrytown Trio, Featuring Cellist Suzanne Mueller After more than 15 years of worldwide touring and three album releases, Rebecca Hall and Ken Anderson--otherwise known as the folk duo Hungrytown--have earned a reputation for the quality and authenticity of their songwriting. Their introduction to folk music came later, when a close friend--who died young due to a tragic misdiagnosis--entrusted to them her collection of 1960s folk albums and her guitar (which has since been featured on all of their albums).

Inspired by the grit and trueto-life experiences she heard in these traditional ballads, Hall Hungrytown (Contributed photo) was inspired to write the lyrics that later became her first songs, aided by Anderson’s flair for musical arrangement.

The couple continues to spend more than half of each year on the road, especially roads in North America, Europe, and New Zealand. Hungrytown’s music has received extensive radio airplay worldwide and has appeared on several television shows, including The Daily Show and Portlandia. Visit www.hungrytown.net to learn more and follow them on social media!

This performance also features special guest cellist and longtime Great Neck resident Suzanne Mueller!

The Hungreytown Trio musical concert is on Sunday, Nov. 12, at 2:00 p.m. at the Great Neck Main Library, 159 Bayview Ave., Great Neck. Registration is required. Great Neck cardholders and residents have priority for seating. For more information, please contact the Great Neck Library at 516-466-8055 or email adultprogramming@greatnecklibrary.org.

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.

PUBLIC STATEMENT HEARINGS TO BE HELD IN PSC CASES 23-G-0225, 23-G-0226 – NATIONAL GRID NY AND NATIONAL GRID FOR GAS SERVICE On April 28, 2023, The Brooklyn Union Gas Company d/b/a National Grid NY (KEDNY) and KeySpan Gas East Corporation d/b/a National Grid (KEDLI)(collectively, the Companies) filed amendments to their gas tariff schedules proposing to increase their annual gas delivery revenues effective March 31, 2024. KEDNY proposes to increase its revenues by $414 million (a 28 percent increase in base delivery revenues or a 17 percent increase in total revenues). KEDLI proposes to increase its revenues by $228 million (a 24 percent increase in base delivery revenues or a 14 percent increase in total revenues). Although the actual bill impacts of these proposed changes on any particular customer class will vary based upon revenue allocation and rate design, the Companies state that a typical KEDNY residential heating customer will have a $30.95 average monthly bill increase and a typical KEDLI residential heating customer will have a $28.52 average monthly bill increase.

The Companies state that the rate increases are largely due to the need to invest in critical infrastructure to comply with Federal and State pipeline safety mandates, increased costs to deliver expanded energy efficiency and other demand reduction offerings, and economic factors such as rising cost of material due to inflation, increased contractor costs, and increases in property taxes. The Companies state that their rate filings are focused on delivering safe and reliable service, meeting the needs of customers, and advancing the fossil fuel emission reduction goals of the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA). The Companies also propose a moderated program to effectively maintain the current pace of leak prone pipe replacements through a more targeted replacement strategy; aggressively repair gas leaks and target the repair of high-emitting leaks through the use of advanced leak detection technology; continue or expand customer oriented initiatives to ensure energy affordability, improve customer experience and maintain customer satisfaction; improve the resiliency of the distribution system by investing in automation, safety valves, and storm hardening projects; and continue or expand many CLCPA-supporting initiatives such as non-pipe alternatives, energy efficiency and demand response programs.

Happy 119th Anniversary NYC Subway System On October 27, 1904, the Interborough Rapid Transit company opened the first subway line in New York City. It traveled 9 miles from City Hall uptown on the eastside of Manhattan across 42nd Street (today’s 42nd Street Shuttle) to Times Square and proceeded uptown to 145th Street and included 28 stations.

Over 150,000 riders paid a 5-cent fare on the first day of service.

The original BMT (Brooklyn Manhattan Rapid Transit – today’s B,D,J,M, N,Q, R & Z lines) and IRT (Interboro Rapid Transit 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, Franklin Ave and Times Square shuttles) subway systems were constructed and managed by the private sector with no government operating subsidies. Financial viability was 100 percent dependent upon farebox revenues. They supported both development and economic growth of numerous neighborhoods in the boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx and Queens. As part of the franchise agreement the owners had to sign, City Hall had direct control over the fare structure. For a period of time, owners actually make a profit with a five cent fare.

After two decades passed, the costs of salaries, maintenance, power, supplies and equipment would pressure owners to ask City Hall for permission to raise the fares. This additional revenue was needed to maintain a good state of repair, increase the frequency of service, purchase new subway cars, pay employee salary increases and support planned system expansion. Politicians more interested in the next reelection (and subscribing to the old Roman philosophy of free bread and circuses) refused this request each year, for well over two decades. As a result, in order to survive owners of both systems began looking elsewhere to reduce costs and stay in business.

They started curtailing basic maintenance, delayed purchases of new subway cars, postponed salary increases for employees, canceled any plans for system expansion and cut corners to survive.

In the 1930s, NYC began building and financing construction of the new IND (Independent Subway – today’s A,C,E,F & G lines). This new municipal system subsidized by taxpayers dollars would provide direct competition to both the IRT and BMT.

and law. That generation of riders did not litter subway stations and buses leaving behind gum, candy wrappers, paper cups, bottles and newspapers. No one would openly eat pizza, chicken or other messy foods while riding a bus or subway. There was no problem with homeless people riding or occupying subway stations.

bus. It eliminated the old two-fare zones, making public transportation an even better bargain.

Purchasing a weekly or monthly subway/bus pass reduces the cost per ride and provides virtually unlimited trips. In many cases, employers can offer transit checks to help subsidizes a portion of the cost. Utilize this and reap the benefits. It supports a cleaner environment. In 2021, MTA NYC Transit completed introducing the next generation of fare collection.

It is known as One Metro New York (OMNY). Installation of this new state of the art system.is now available to riders at all 471 subway stations.

NYC Transit has a fleet of 6,500 subway cars with 471 stations serving 5.5 million pre-COVID-19 riders. Over 4 million daily riders have returned. Service is provided on 28 routes spanning four of five boroughs comprising NYC including Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan and Queens. Only the 500,000 residents of Staten Island have no direct subway connection to the rest of NYC. The largest subway system in the world has benefited since the 1960s by grant funding provided by the Federal Transit Administration. Of the $1.8 billion in annual FTA funding provided to the MTA, NYC Transit usually receives a minimum of 70percent or over $1.3 billion. These dollars pay for various capital improvement projects which benefit riders. Since the Urban Mass Transportation Act was signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson in 1964, NYC Transit has received billions and billions of dollars in federal assistance from Washington. This is a great example of your tax dollars at work.

Let us also give thanks to the thousands of hard working men and women who maintain and operate our NYC subway system.

It is the lifeline that keeps the Big Apple moving day in and day out.

Leadership Void Hobbles School Bus Safety Program Rollout As our children continue their 2023-24 studies, so too does the daily jockeying to make sure they have a safe and reliable way to get to school every day. Many are driven to school; others walk; and the remainder rely upon school bus transportation. Regrettably, as it pertains to that latter form of transportation, many school buses serving our County currently lack a major safety tool – stop-arm cameras that ensure motorists who illegally pass buses are held accountable.

As a cosponsor of the 2019 legislation that cleared the way for a stop-arm camera program here in Nassau County, I am frustrated by the laissez-faire approach the Blakeman administration has taken to getting school districts to sign up for a program that is expressly designed to promote public safety and protect our children. What makes it especially disappointing is that school districts like Jericho – which have cameras installed on all its buses – can’t use this potentially life-saving technology until the Town and the vendor sign a contract.

Data from neighboring Suffolk’s countywide stop-arm camera program show that this uniform, countywide approach is working. In its first year of full implementation in 2021, Suffolk County’s program issued more than 118,000 tickets.

The next year, the number of tickets dropped by 40 percent, according to data. Experts say that’s because the 16th District vast number of first-time offenders learn their lesson and don’t do it Curran correctly spearheaded the program – the rollout of which was again.

he future of home décor is here, where creativity knows no bounds and innovation redefines the very essence of living spaces. Here’s a sneak peek into 2024 home decor trends that will elevate your interior design game.

Decor in ’24 features the eclectic, personalized, and is bringing strong focus on nature and environment.

“Harken, the emerging, modernized, throwback to the ’70s in colors, art, furniture, presence of nature, far out.”

The thought is to create spaces that trigger happiness and delight...

Bold, vibrant colors, soft shimmery pastels, metallics, whimsical patterns blending textures, and playful elements take the spotlight.

The trends are immensely appealing and comforting, because they tap into the most fundamental of human desires. Joy, socializing, and positivity. Feelings that are celebratory, inviting with personalized touches.

Wellness, ergonomics, AI technology, and rooms touched by nature’s beauty like houseplants all play into the above, think air quality and ambiance.

Get your green thumbs ready...

Influences of the times, people working hybrid or full time from home, and a greater awareness of the planet’s changes, are all present in 2024.

Don’t fret, the trends are welcomed into even the most minimalist homes, the transitional, those of elegance and grandeur.

Alzheimer’s Myths

BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

Alzheimer’s disease is a devastating and complex neurodegenerative condition that affects millions of people worldwide. While significant progress has been made in understanding the disease, there are still many misconceptions and myths about Alzheimer’s. Here are five common myths about Alzheimer’s disease debunked.

There has been a long-standing belief that exposure to aluminum, such as through cooking with aluminum cookware or consuming antacids containing aluminum, can cause Alzheimer’s disease. Extensive research has not established a clear link between aluminum and Alzheimer’s. The exact cause of the disease remains an active area of investigation, but it is likely due to a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.

Myth 1

Myth 4

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Alzheimer’s only affects the elderly One prevalent myth is that Alzheimer’s exclusively affects older individuals. While the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease increases with age, it can occur in people under the age of 65, a condition referred to as early-onset Alzheimer’s. Early-onset Alzheimer’s can manifest in individuals in their 40s and 50s, although it is less common. Age is a significant risk factor, but Alzheimer’s is not limited to the elderly.

Myth 2

Alzheimer’s is a natural part of aging Another misconception is that memory decline and cognitive impairment are

Getty Images

a natural part of aging. While it’s true that cognitive abilities can change with age, Alzheimer’s is not a typical part of the aging process. It is a specific and progressive brain disorder with distinct pathological features.

Not all older adults will develop Alzheimer’s, and many seniors maintain their cognitive function well into their golden years.

Myth 3

Alzheimer’s is caused by aluminum

Memory loss equals Alzheimer’s Memory loss is a hallmark symptom of Alzheimer’s disease, but it is essential to recognize that occasional forgetfulness does not equate to having Alzheimer’s. Memory lapses can be a part of normal aging, and they can also result from various factors such as stress, sleep disturbances, or medication side effects. Alzheimer’s is diagnosed based on a combination of cognitive decline, functional impairment, and specific changes in the brain, not just memory loss.

Myth 5

There is a cure for Alzheimer’s While significant advancements have been

made in Alzheimer’s research and treatment, there is currently no cure for the disease. Many treatments aim to manage symptoms and slow the progression of the disease, but none can completely stop or reverse it. This is a source of frustration for patients and their families, as well as for researchers and healthcare professionals.

The search for a cure is ongoing, and numerous clinical trials are exploring potential therapies, but as of now, no definitive cure exists.

It is crucial to dispel these myths and promote accurate information about Alzheimer’s disease. Understanding the true nature of the condition can help reduce stigma, increase awareness, and encourage individuals to seek medical advice and support at the earliest signs of cognitive decline.

Alzheimer’s is a complex and multifaceted condition that affects not only the person diagnosed but also their caregivers and loved ones. Raising awareness and dispelling misconceptions can lead to a more compassionate and informed society that supports those impacted by Alzheimer’s.

It’s That Time Again: Seasonal Affective Disorder specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

S

easonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that occurs in a seasonal pattern, typically during the fall and winter months. It is often colloquially referred to as “winter blues” or “winter depression.” This condition can have a significant impact on an individual’s mental and emotional well-being.

Symptoms

SAD is characterized by a range of symptoms that are similar to those of major depressive disorder. Common symptoms include: Low Mood: Individuals with SAD often experience persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and irritability.

Fatigue: A marked increase in fatigue and a lack of energy are typical during the winter months.

Overeating and Weight Gain: SAD is often associated with carbohydrate cravings and overeating, which can lead to weight gain.

Oversleeping: Excessive sleep and difficulty waking up in the morning are typical symptoms. SAD sufferers may also

2024

experience a tendency to nap during the day.

Loss of Interest: People with SAD may lose interest in activities they once enjoyed, withdraw from social interactions, and experience a sense of isolation.

Difficulty Concentrating: Decreased concentration and difficulty making decisions can also be part of SAD.

Causes

The exact causes of SAD are not entirely understood, but several factors may contribute to its development: Biological Clock (Circadian Rhythm): Reduced exposure to natural light during the winter months can disrupt the body’s internal biological clock. This disruption can affect sleep patterns, mood, and hormone regulation.

Serotonin Levels: A drop in serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood, is believed to play a role in SAD. Reduced sunlight exposure can lead to decreased serotonin production.

Melatonin Levels: Changes in the duration and intensity of sunlight can also affect melatonin production, leading to increased sleepiness and a disrupted sleep-wake cycle.

Genetics: Family history may be a factor

in SAD, as it tends to run in families.

Vitamin D Deficiency: Reduced exposure to sunlight during the winter can lead to lower levels of vitamin D, which is linked to mood regulation.

Treatment Options

Seasonal Affective Disorder is a treatable condition, and several options are available to manage its symptoms: Light Therapy: Light therapy, or phototherapy, is a common and effective treatment for SAD. It involves sitting in front of a lightbox that emits bright, full-spectrum light, typically for 20-60 minutes each morning. This light exposure helps regulate the body’s internal clock and improve mood.

Medications: Antidepressant medications, particularly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), can be prescribed to manage SAD symptoms. These medications can help regulate serotonin levels in the brain.

Psychotherapy: Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of talk therapy that can help identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors.

Lifestyle Modifications: Engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining

Getty Images

a balanced diet, and getting outdoors during daylight hours can help alleviate SAD symptoms.

Vitamin D: In cases of vitamin D deficiency, supplements may be recommended to address this nutritional shortfall.

Dawn Simulators: These devices gradually increase the intensity of light in the morning, simulating a natural sunrise and helping individuals wake up more gently.

It’s important to note that the effectiveness of these treatments may vary from person to person, and a combination of therapies may be necessary to manage SAD effectively.

Take a look at the numberous advantages of castor oil, including how to use it effectively.

Hair Care

Castor oil is renowned for its hair-enhancing properties. It is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin E, which promote hair growth, strengthen hair strands, and reduce split ends. Massaging castor oil into your scalp can improve blood circulation and stimulate hair follicles, leading to thicker and healthier hair. To stimulate hair growth, mix castor oil with a lighter oil (such as coconut or almond oil) and massage it into your scalp. Leave it on for at least 30 minutes or overnight before washing your hair.

Skin Health

Castor oil is an excellent moisturizer and can help alleviate dry skin conditions.

Its natural antibacterial and antifungal properties make it effective in treating acne and other skin issues. The oil can also be used to reduce the appearance of scars,

stretch marks, and fine lines, giving your skin a more youthful appearance. For skin concerns, apply a small amount of castor oil to the affected area and gently massage it in. For acne-prone skin, use a cotton swab to apply a tiny amount directly to blemishes.

Moisturizing Lips

Laxative Effect

Eye Health

Dry and chapped lips can benefit from the application of castor oil. Its thick consistency forms a protective barrier, preventing moisture loss and leaving your lips soft and hydrated. Apply a small amount of castor oil to dry lips.

Castor oil can be used to soothe dry and tired eyes. A drop or two of castor oil in each eye before bedtime can help relieve dryness and irritation, making it a popular home remedy for conditions like dry eye syndrome. Use it as an eye drop for dry eyes before bedtime.

Castor oil is widely used as a natural laxative. When ingested, it stimulates the intestines, promoting bowel movements and relieving constipation. However, it should be used sparingly for this purpose and under the guidance of a healthcare professional, as excessive consumption can lead to diarrhea and dehydration. If using castor oil as a laxative, take it in the recommended dosage, usually one to two teaspoons for adults. It is best taken on an empty stomach and should produce a bowel movement within a few hours.

Anti-Aging

Pain Relief

The anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of castor oil make it useful for relieving muscle and joint pain. It can be applied topically to reduce inflammation and ease discomfort in conditions such as arthritis or sore muscles. To relieve muscle or joint pain, apply castor oil to the affected area and cover it with a warm compress for 30 to 60 minutes.

Antifungal and Antimicrobial

Castor oil has natural antifungal and antimicrobial properties, making it effective in treating fungal infections like athlete’s foot and ringworm. It can also help prevent the growth of bacteria on the skin.

The antioxidant properties of castor oil, along with its ability to promote collagen production, make it an effective anti-aging treatment. Regular use can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Castor oil offers a multitude of benefits for both health and beauty. It is essential to use it in moderation and consult a healthcare professional when using it for internal purposes. When applied correctly, castor oil can be a valuable addition to your natural health and beauty routine, helping you achieve healthier hair, skin, and overall well-being.

Governor Hochul Announces Round One Of Regional School Food Grant Program

G

overnor Kathy Hochul recently announced that $10 million is available through Round 1 of New York’s Regional School Food Infrastructure Grant Program. The program will support projects in New York schools that improve meal preparation and distribution for Kindergarten through Grade 12 students.

First announced in the Governor’s 2023 State of the State, the program will provide $50 million over five years to eligible applicants to facilitate the on-site processing and preparation of fresh, nutritious meals, increase the use of more healthy, local New York food products, and provide a boost to New York farmers.

“Through our Farm-to-School program and our 30 percent New York State Initiative for schools, we have made huge strides in bringing our farmers and our schools together, making lasting connections to purchase more local foods for school meals than ever before,” Governor Hochul said.

“This Regional School Food Infrastructure Grant Program will build on the success of these programs and provide the much-needed support to help schools cook delicious meals for our young people.

Providing healthy, balanced meals equals better learning for students statewide and supports our agricultural community at the same time.”

Administered by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, the Regional School Food Infrastructure Grant Program will provide the resources schools need to aggregate, store, process, and prepare farm products, and make it possible to cook fresh, nutritious, scratch made meals for school children. It will also encourage workforce development by providing training to schools, communities, and students for culinary arts, food processing, safe food handling and storage, logistics, delivery, and more, based on community need.

Project proposals should be regionally focused on improving meal preparation for K-12 school children, reducing food insecurity, increasing market opportunities for New York State producers, and strengthening the resilience of our state’s food system. The program requires that funded facilities serve multiple school districts and support their local community, including by providing workforce development opportunities. In this round of funding, two regions will be awarded $5 million each.

Two additional regions will be awarded $5 million each in subsequent rounds, until all regions are awarded.

Grant funds are available for the costs of capital projects to support the preparation and distribution of fresh meals for regional school infrastructure, such as aggregation, storage hubs, and/or commissary-type kitchens. Eligible applicants include not-forprofit organizations, local municipalities, school districts, and Boards of Cooperative Education Services (BOCES).

Proposals are due on Wednesday, January 24, 2024, at 3:00 pm. Additionally, an optional webinar will be held on November 29, 2023, at 12:00 pm. The workshop will be recorded and posted on the Department’s website.

These initiatives build on New York’s many programs to support local foods in schools, including the successful Farm-toSchool program, which connects schools with local farms and food producers to strengthen local agriculture, improve student health, and promote regional food systems awareness. Through the program, the Department of Agriculture and Markets provides financial, technical, and promotional assistance to schools, farms, distributors, and other supporting organizations to bring more local, nutritious, seasonally varied meals to New York students. The Farm-to-School program supports the New York State Council on Hunger and Food Policy’s priorities to initiate and facilitate public awareness campaigns about the economic benefits of a local farm and food economy; alleviate geographic and economic barriers to improve access to healthy fresh food; and promote well-balanced child nutrition.

First, gather your materials.

You’ll need: Paper towels A knife (that’s why you’ll need an adult) A spoon Paper A writing implement Different kinds of vegetables and fruits First, put down some paper towels.

According to Oceana, an international advocacy organization focused on ocean conservation, the olive sea snake is the most common sea snake along the northern coast of Australia and nearby island groups.

Like all reptiles, olive sea snakes breathe air, but unlike other marine reptiles, their entire life cycle occurs in the ocean. They grow to lengths of over six feet. And they are adapted to life on coral reefs. They have a flattened, paddle-like tail and a large lung that allows it to go hours between breaths at the surface. They are highly venomous and they hunt

small to medium sized fishes and benthic invertebrates, including prawns and crabs. They prefer to hunt at night and only come out of their daytime hiding places to take occasional breaths. Olive snakes are also known to be curious, and often approach SCUBA divers inquisitively, especially at night. While they do rarely bite people, their bites have been known to be fatal. And their babies do not receive any parental care.

While they are not fished by humans, they are at risk of getting caught by fishers targeting other species.

New York Blood Center Will Welcome Newly Eligible LGBTQIA+ Donors As Region Experiences Blood Emergency N individual donor assessment. This follows the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) final guidance establishing a blood donor screening process based on Individual Donor Assessment, not sexual or gender identity. Interested individuals can find detailed information regarding these changes at nybc.org/ida.

In preparation for this change, New York Blood Center has completed the adoption of the donor history questionnaire, updated and validated computer systems regulated by the FDA, trained staff, and updated operational procedures.

“For decades, we have strongly advocated for scientifically-based changes to the FDA policies regarding gay and bisexual men and this recent decision by the FDA is a huge step toward making blood donation more inclusive,” said Andrea Cefarelli, Senior Vice President at New York Blood Center. “We look forward to welcoming these new donors to our centers and blood drives, especially during a national blood emergency and following a tough summer with low donor turnout. We’re currently experiencing a blood emergency and both

new and regular donors are desperately needed.”

All U.S. blood centers are regulated by the FDA and must adhere to their donor eligibility policies. In 1983, the FDA instituted a lifetime deferral on blood donations for gay and bisexual men in order to reduce the chance of HIV in the blood supply at a time when testing was limited or non-existent. In 2015, the FDA revised this policy and moved to a 12-month deferral for men who have sex with men in response to comprehensive testing capabilities and data demonstrating safety in shortened deferral.

This policy was revised again in 2020 to the current 3-month deferral.

The change is based on data from the “Assessing Donor Variability And New Concepts in Eligibility” (ADVANCE) Study, which sought to determine if different eligibility criteria could be used focusing on each donor’s individual risk behavior rather than their sexual orientation. The updated criteria reflects the scientific data gathered as part of the ADVANCE Study.

About New York Blood Center: Founded in 1964, New York Blood Center (NYBC) is

a nonprofit organization that is one of the largest independent, community-based blood centers in the world. NYBC, along with its operating divisions Community Blood Center of Kansas City, Missouri (CBC), Innovative Blood Resources (IBR), Blood Bank of Delmarva (BBD), and Rhode Island Blood Center (RIBC), collect approximately 4,000 units of blood products each day and serve local communities of more than 75 million people in the Tri-State area (NY, NJ, CT), Mid Atlantic area (PA, DE, MD, VA), Missouri and Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Rhode Island, and Southern New England. NYBC and its operating divisions also provide a wide array of transfusion-related medical services to over 500 hospitals nationally, including Comprehensive Cell Solutions, the National Center for Blood Group Genomics, the National Cord Blood Program, and the Lindsley F. Kimball Research Institute, which — among other milestones — developed a practical screening method for hepatitis B as well as a safe, effective and affordable vaccine, and a patented solvent detergent plasma process.

ew York Blood Center (NYBC) has introduced a new donor screening process based on Individual Donor Assessment (IDA), not sexual or gender identity.

This comes at an important time as New York is currently experiencing a blood emergency with dangerously low levels of O+ and O-, B-, and platelets.

NYBC has announced a blood emergency following a summer of low donor turnout.

Contributing to the shortage are holidays, back-to-school activities, and a prolonged 50percent decrease in youth and first-time donors. The region’s blood supply is well below the optimal 5-7 days and while all blood types are needed, types O+, O-, B-, and platelets are critically low. And our community is not alone, blood shortages are happening across the country, with multiple centers urgently calling for blood donations.

Amid this blood emergency, NYBC will soon be able to welcome new donors.

Legislature Passes No-Tax Increase Budget On October 30th, the Nassau County Legislature unanimously passed the 2024 Nassau County budget, which contains zero increase in taxes.

The zero-tax increase budget is a result of the solid fiscal management policies put into practice by the Legislative Majority and County Executive Bruce Blakeman that has also led to Nassau’s economic condition being in the best shape in years. Proof of that

comes from a recent financial report from the State Comptroller’s Office that placed Nassau County among the top-ranked fiscally sound counties throughout New York State for the second year in a row. Previously, the County’s bond ratings were upgraded to their highest levels since 2005 by two of Wall Street’s leading credit agencies.

The 2024 budget also contained an amendment proposed by the Legislative

Majority which adds funding for more police officers and assistant district attorneys, without impacting the no-tax increase budget. These new officers and attorneys will increase public safety and address the demands created by the State’s disastrous cashless bail and discovery laws that favor criminals and allow them to return to the streets with no punishment or fear of committing more crimes.

For the last 14 years, the Republican Legislative Majority not only hasn’t raised property taxes in 14 consecutive years but eliminated $70 million from the previous administration’s 2022 budget as well as planned tax increases for 2023, 2024, and 2025, resulting in a property tax cut of $200 million, which will be carried through 2027.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). This week represents a breakthrough in your mental game. You’ll find that you don’t always identify with what runs through your mind. Thoughts are just thoughts. When you sense that a thought isn’t useful, try adding a disclaimer to the end of it. “I’m feeling anxious... but I can also think of ways things could go well.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Remember your original intentions. The week throws distractions your way, and it’s easy to get caught up in the other things there are to want. Until you get back to that one thing you started with, you won’t be truly fulfilled. Let your deeper reasons fuel you to be of service and you’ll do the work you were meant to do.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Stress can be paralyzing, or it can be the necessary push to try something different. Stress can deliver the extra energy needed to do something hard. You’ll accept that some amount of stress will help you. You’ll find that sweet spot where it’s not too much. And you’ll use the energy boost to leap over an obstacle.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re conscious that an activity is undermining your goal, though you still may feel compelled to do it. Awareness has stages.

What else can you observe about the behavior, such as triggers, environments or people involved? Can you make a plan anyway? Wherever you are in the process at the start of the week, it will improve by the weekend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You see and appreciate so much in others but forget to turn that love back on yourself. Acknowledge your strengths. Embracing the attitudes, habits and characteristics that make you so wonderfully you is a path to self-love and thriving. Could you turn it into a practice? It will dissipate your worries and allow you to shine.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Some days roll out like a Bubble Wrap of tasks you can pinch off with orderly satisfaction. But this week is more like Styrofoam packing peanuts -- messy and weird to clean up, though you may be grateful about how nothing is broken, and the tasks are light, if sometimes staticky.

Everything gets handled. All stays intact.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Some people don’t have a clue how to let loose and have a good time. It’s an easier thing to do in an environment that’s comfortable. You’ll make people comfortable with your warmth and ability to see and be the fun. You will save the party this way -- and save the meeting/ date/otherwise boring routine as well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s not always about keeping your eye on the prize. The feeling of the work, your breath and getting the “form” right are all important as well. Whether your performance has to do with making a sale, teaching a class or crossing the finish line of a race, the more connected to the moment you are, the better you’ll perform.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ve been cheering the team and taking pictures. This week, you’ll step out of the sidelines and into those pictures, taking to heart the cheers of others. Being part of the action, for however long it lasts, enriches your powers of observation in perpetuity, and your joy in equal measure.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A new cycle will begin, but first, the universe is waiting for you to signal the start. You’ll initiate this time around the track, not with a sound or a flag but with an act of intent. Cut your hair, buy a new power tool, give old clothes away. The universe awaits your green light.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You measure success by different standards. This will have a lot to do with what you need from relationships and how they fit into your life. You’ll come to a place of deep self-fulfillment, so what others add will be like the sprinkles on top -- the delight of new experiences, challenges to keep the adventure interesting, and a constant flow of warmth, inclusion and activity that keeps you engaged and contributing. More highlights: a financial breakthrough, a graduation and foreign travel.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re getting into the energy of having what you want. This should be the fun part. It’s the college visit, the test drive, the appetizer platter giving you a taste of what’s to come even though, in a sense, you’re already there. Make your dreams happen in a small way and the big way will be next.

olution: Tough players

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). On your way to an achievement, you hold yourself accountable, but don’t punish yourself. Allow for the wavering that is human and natural in any process. As you cheer yourself on, you’re looking for movement in a particular direction, not perfection. Anything that’s more of what you want counts toward the goal.

NORTH ♠4 ♥8 6 3 2 ♦AKQ ♣K J 9 5 4 WEST EAST ♠Q8762 ♠AKJ9 ♥7 5 ♥ K J 10 9 4 ♦73 ♦J984 ♣ 10 8 6 2 ♣— SOUTH ♠ 10 5 3 ♥A Q ♦ 10 6 5 2 ♣A Q 7 3 The bidding: South West North East 1♣ Pass 1♦ 2♣ 2♦ 2♠ 3♥ Dble 4♥ Pass 5♣ 5♠ Pass Pass 6♣ Pass Pass Dble Opening lead — six of spades.

This deal was played in the 1930’s, which accounts for some of the bids that led to six clubs doubled.

The declarer was Waldemar von Zedtwitz, whose name was closely associated with every facet of contract bridge from the time the game was invented in 1926.

West led a spade to East’s king,

and East returned the jack of hearts.

Von Zedtwitz finessed the queen and led the three of clubs. When West followed with the deuce, von Zedtwitz played dummy’s four!

After the club finesse succeeded, as seemed likely from the bidding, declarer had smooth sailing. He cashed the ace of hearts, led a diamond to dummy, ruffed a heart with the club queen, led the seven of clubs to dummy’s nine, ruffed dummy’s last heart with the ace and trumped a spade in dummy.

The K-J of clubs drew West’s two remaining trumps, and the A-K of diamonds won the last two tricks to give von Zedtwitz a score of 1,090 points.

Subsequent analysis showed that the slam could not have been made without the deep trump finesse at trick three. Finessing the four of clubs was by no means just a fancy play — it was absolutely essential.

West could have thrown a spanner into the works by playing the six of clubs at trick three instead of the deuce, but this does not diminish the luster of von Zedtwitz’s play once he got the chance to finesse the four. Taking advantage of defensive slips is an important part of the game.

Great Neck Library Celebrates Veterans Day

T

o honor America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good, Great Neck Library is hosting a Lecture on The USS Midway (CV-41) presented by Michael Rodgers at the Main Library 159 Bayview Avenue, Great Neck, on Wednesday, Nov. 15, 2023 at 2:00 p.m.

Commissioned eight days after the end of World War II, Midway was the largest ship in the world until 1955, as well as the first U.S. aircraft carrier too big to transit the Panama Canal. She operated for 47 years, during which time she saw action in the Vietnam War and served as the Pershing Gulf flagship in 1991’s Operation Desert Storm. Decommissioned in 1992, she is now a museum ship at the USS Midway Museum in San Diego. Learn more about the longest serving aircraft carrier in the 20th century often referred to as the ‘USS Never Dock.’

Howard J. Herman To Be Honored At Temple Beth-El

C

ongregant and longtime Temple Beth-El volunteer Howard J. Herman, a retired lawyer who spent most of his career with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, will be the first monthly honoree at an enhanced Shabbat morning service at Temple Beth-El on Saturday, Nov. 11, at 10:30 a.m. The community is welcomed to attend the worship service, hear the honoree present the d’var Torah and enjoy the kiddush luncheon that follows.

“There is no one quite like Howard,” noted Temple Beth-El Rabbi A. Brian Stoller.

“His love for and dedication to Temple Beth-El come from the deepest part of his soul. No matter what the moment requires—whether it’s coordinating volunteer prayer leaders for our daily minyan, serving on a leadership task force, setting up chairs or offering insight into temple history or guidance on policy—Howard is there for our community. He is a true sage, and our leadership relies on him for his wisdom and counsel. He always has his finger on the pulse of the congregation, so when Howard speaks, we listen. He is an incredible blessing to Temple Beth-El.” Herman and his wife, Barbara, felt it was time to join a synagogue in 1982, when their oldest child, Amy, was five years old.

“There were reasons why we might be a fit at any of the four major synagogues in Great Neck at that time, so we attended

services at all four,” explained Herman. “It was evident immediately that Temple BethEl was the place for us. The nature of the Judaism practiced at TBE, its egalitarianism and its outstanding senior rabbi, Jerome K. Davidson, made it the obvious choice.”

His family quickly became connected to groups within the TBE community, including Brotherhood, Sisterhood and the Couples Club, which enabled them to form friendships that have lasted to this day. In those early years, he never could have imagined that about two decades later, he would become editor of the Bulletin— and continue contributing to its current iteration as the award-winning Shema magazine.

In the early 2000s, then temple President Nina Koppelman saw Herman as a potential leader and recommended him for the temple board of trustees. He became chair of the Worship Committee and chaired or cochaired two assistant rabbi search committees. As secretary to the board, he served on the temple’s Executive Committee and later as an at-large member of the Executive Committee.

He became webmaster of TBE’s website and was its first Facebook page administrator. He also chaired the Shiva Minyan Committee, cochaired the Succession Committee and was recently elected honorary vice president.

“Even if I had not benefited from all the services, programs, educational opportunities and volunteer activities I have engaged in, and I had merely gotten to meet the incredible array of accomplished, caring, talented and friendly people I have come to know at TBE over the past 40-plus years, getting to know those members of our community alone would have been worth the journey,” expressed Herman.

During the Shabbat when he will be honored, the community can hear him discuss the weekly parashah, Chaye Sarah, which translates as the Life of Sarah.

Herman receives a great deal of satisfaction from trying to make the experiences of his fellow members more meaningful, and his actions have been a powerful example for the entire congregation.

“There is a phrase in Jewish tradition, Lamed Vavnick, which roughly translates as a ‘righteous one’ in English. It is used on rare occasions to describe a person with unique leadership who is focused on having vision and doing good for the world, without the great fanfare that might accompany it. These are considered very special people,” explained Temple Beth-El’s Executive Director Stuart Botwinick. “In his work at our Temple Beth-El, Howard reveals to be just that–a Lamed Vavnick in our community.”

Temple Beth-El is located at 5 Old Mill

Time Stands Still For Geddy Lee In New Memoir that befell our bandmate Neil Peart. Those were difficult and delicate things to write (Photo by Richard Sibbald) about and I had to be faithful to the truth, but at the same time, faithful to his memory.

And not to expose something that I felt he wouldn’t be happy seeing in print. So that was a tough job.”

With the public ready to devour his memoir, Lee is embarking on a 13-city book tour that will feature the 70-year-old multi-instrumentalist reading passages from the book, sharing stories, getting joined on stage by different guest interviewers and taking questions from the audience. Having done a version of this during the Book of Bass born Gary Lee Weinrib whose life journey promotional cycle, Lee wanted more of the began in suburban Ontario as the son of same with a twist.

n his 2006 autobiography Let Me Finish, storied baseball writer Roger Angell wrote, “Life is tough and brimming with loss, and the most we can do about it is to glimpse ourselves clear now and then, and find out what we feel about familiar scenes and recurring faces this time around.” So it goes with Geddy Lee, whose newly released memoir, My Effin’ Life, is just hitting book shelves. Best known as the Grammy-nominated, bass-playing founding member of power trio Rush, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer is admittedly someone far more comfortable looking forward rather than gazing into the past.

But it was out of loss that prompted the native Canadian to reconsider this position.

“First of all, I had just lost my dear friend and bandmate of many, many years—Neil Peart,” he explained. “So that put me in a sad and reflective mood. I was also just locked down in our first pandemic lockdown in Toronto and was kind of alone with my thoughts and doing my own grief work. At the same time, I had noticed that my mother was slipping farther and farther into dementia and it was very clear to me that she was losing her memory. Those two things combined got me thinking about how tenuous the grip we have on our gray cells is and maybe it’s an idea for me to start putting them down on paper. So to make a rather long story short, the solitude of the pandemic lockdown gave me the opportunity to go down that road.”

Having already published the 2018 coffee table book, Geddy Lee’s Big Beautiful Book of Bass, Lee was already familiar with and

fond of the writing process (“it was a nice change of pace from my day job of wrestling with notes”), Lee spent two years hammering out what was initially a 1,200-page manuscript.

“I started writing in bits because it all started out as a challenge from Daniel Richler, who had co-written my first book,” Lee recalled.

“He lives in London, so we were trying to keep ourselves from getting bored by talking on the phone quite often or doing Zoom calls.

He sent me some very short stories he had written about some memories he had of his dad. His father was the great Canadian author Mordechai Richler, so he had a rich wealth of memories he was putting down on paper.

He’d send me a story and then he’d challenge me to write him back a short story about a memory I had about my dad. I did that and over that first lockdown summer, he started noticing that my responses were getting longer than his and he said, ‘I think you’re writing a book.’ I told him I’d write this book, but he had to help me and of course, he was happy to do so.”

The result is a touching and often humorous narrative that traced the life of the man
