TOP STORY

Celebrating A Local Veteran PFC Eugene “Gene” DeMar turned 100 this year

JULIE PRISCO jprisco@antonmediagroup.com

W

ith Veterans Day on Saturday, Nov. 11, the Port Washington News reached out to local WWII veteran PFC Eugene “Gene” DeMar to learn about his time in the service and wish him a happy 100th birthday.

DeMar is a lifelong resident of Port Washington. PFC DeMar served in the U.S. Army Air Corp HQ Co., 565th Signal Aircraft Warning Battalion from September 1943 to February 1946, and was stationed in New Guinea, the Philippines, and finally Japan after their surrender in 1945.

In 1943, DeMar was drafted into WWII. “I wanted to go serve my country, but I was drafted,” said DeMar. “They give you choices when you’re drafted of what division you would like to be in, and I wanted the Army Air Force and got into the Army Air Corps.”

As part of the 565th Signal Aircraft Warning Battalion, DeMar and the other soldiers worked with Army Air Corps Fighter Control Squadrons primarily to direct fighters and fighter-bombers to their targets.

“We had people going out in the jungles and away from our headquarters and we were the air warning division,” said DeMar. “We were protecting maybe 20 miles away from it. And when the planes come in, we would pick them up, and we would alert headquarters.”

DeMar met the others stationed in New Guinea and made some good friends; some of them were even from New York.

While stationed in New Guinea, DeMar caught malaria from the mosquitos.

“The mosquitos were a nuisance,” said DeMar. “We slept in tents, and at night, you’d have a net over your cot to sleep because the mosquitos will eat you up.”

Unfortunately, “quite a few” people got malaria while serving in New Guinea, said DeMar. “It wasn’t something you got sent home for. The doctors were able to treat you, and you’d get better,” he said.

DeMar was sick for about a month with malaria. Luckily, he was given pills to take every day, but it turned his skin a bit yellow.

“Every day, they made sure you took the pill when you went to the mess hall,” he said.

“I’m lucky I wasn’t hurt. Malaria was the only thing I had,” said DeMar. When the war was over, DeMar was in Luzon, Manila, an island in the Philippines.

“We got on a ship to Osaka, Japan, and when we got off, we went up the coast to Tokyo and from there I waited for a ship to get on and came home,” said DeMar. When they got to Tokyo, DeMar was surprised that the people living Tokyo were so nice to them while they stayed in the port waiting for the boat.

“The people were once our enemies but they became our friends,” he said. “They were really nice people. We expected the worst, but we got the best. And they were happy that the war was over; everybody was.”

DeMar remembers finally getting on the boat to come home and pulling out of the harbor in Tokyo, and seeing the beautiful

mountains in Yokohama. The boat ride home took 31 days.

When DeMar got home, he reunited with his best friend, Jean Ann Kulakoski, from Roslyn.

“Jean wrote to me while I was away,” said DeMar. “She was still going to school. She graduated from Roslyn High when I was in the service.”

DeMar and Jean Ann got married when he returned home and they raised a beautiful family in Port Washington. The two have two sons and a daughter. Their family has grown, now having five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

While living in Port Washington, DeMar owned and operated Plaza Bar and Grill on Haven Avenue. “My father handed the bar over to me when he moved to Florida. He had a bar there, so I had one here and he had one there,” said DeMar. DeMar joined the Port Washington Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 1819 a few weeks after he returned home from the war. “I’ve been a member all these years and I was friends with a lot of guys I served with.

Most of those guys are gone now, but it’s an experience with the new guys.”

Unfortunately, Jean Ann passed away in September of 2019.

“She was a fine young lady. I lost my best friend,” DeMar said when speaking of his wife. Luckily, DeMar’s children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren live close to him now, some still living in Port Washington and Roslyn.

On Tuesday, Oct. 17, DeMar turned 100 years old. DeMar celebrated this milestone surrounded by friends and family. DeMar and his wife have three children, five grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. “[My family] all live pretty close to me,” said DeMar. “I’m very lucky.”

DeMar has been participating in Port’s Annual Veterans Day Parade and Tribute for many years. This year’s parade and tribute will be held on Saturday, Nov. 11.

The vehicle parade will follow the route north on Port Washington Boulevard and west on Main Street, finishing at the Sousa Band Shell, where the Veterans Day Remembrance will be held at 11:00 a.m.

Members of the American Legion and the VFW Post 1819 will lead the program with welcoming addresses, song, gun salute, a poem delivered by John Chaulker, and recognition of those Veterans in attendance.

The community is invited to show support along the parade route, and attend the tribute.

Whether you are buying, selling, relocating or investing, feel free to contact me today to discuss any of your real estate needs!

“Sabrina did a great job assisting me with the purchase of a home. She was very involved in all aspects of the closing, super responsive, and looked out for my best interest. Highly recommend working with her!”

Veterans Day Ceremony At Monfort Cemetery O

n Saturday, Nov, 11, 2023 at 8:30 a.m., as part of the commemoration of Veterans Day, The Town of North Hempstead (TONH) and Cow Neck Peninsula Historical Society (CNPHS) invite the community to participate in a ceremony honoring the service of twelve American Revolutionary War Patriots buried in Monfort Cemetery. During the ceremony, special markers and American flags will be placed at the gravesites of the local patriots.

The Monfort Cemetery is located at the intersection of Port Washington Boulevard and Main Street, just behind and up the hill from the post office. The cemetery, usually closed to the public, is a town landmark and is on the State and National Registries of Historic Places. An active burial ground from at least 1737 to 1892, the site contains some of the town’s earliest settlers including the Onderdonk, Hegeman, Dodge, Rapelje and Schenck families. The Monfort Cemetery was cared for until 1984 by Burtis Monfort and then deeded to the town by him.

Currently, the Town of North Hempstead’s historian Ross Lumpkin and town officials have joined volunteers from the Cow Neck Peninsula Historical Society in an ongoing effort to raise the funds needed to restore the deteriorating gravestones, as well as to preserve and honor the Colonial and American historical

his year’s Port’s Got Talent, a fundraiser to support the Port Washington Adult Activities Center, was a sold-out success. The excitement built backstage as the seats filled up at the Jean Rimsky Theater in the historic Landmark Building on Main Street.

Now in its fifth successful year, Port’s Got Talent is a community talent show to raise the important funds to run the Port Washington Adult Activities Center at 80 Manorhaven Blvd. The importance of the center cannot be overstated. Local seniors come every week for classes, exercise, a warm lunch and for friendship. Port’s Got Talent is the signature fundraiser for the center.

Master of Ceremonies, Warren Schein, did not disappoint as he opened in song and introduced the talent throughout the evening. The Rimsky Theater’s Jonathan Burnit provided technical expertise for sound and lighting giving the show a professional finish. Many of the performances were accompanied by the gifted pianist, Hannah Mount.

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.

our roads safer for all of us. In the interest of fairness, rigorous safeguards must be in place to prevent and correct erroneous tickets.

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.

However, because of the Blakeman has seen fit to punt the disjointed approach the Blakeman project to the towns and cities.

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: Castor Oil

C

astor oil is a versatile and time-tested natural remedy that offers a wide range of benefits for health, beauty and wellness. Derived from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant, castor oil has been used for centuries in various cultures for its therapeutic properties. 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.

Getty Images

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.

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.

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.

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.

On Monday, September 18th, New York Blood Center will implement the new donor screen process that will focus on

FCA Names Julie Robinson-Tingue Vice President, Chief Of Staff

amily and Children’s Association, one of Nassau County’s oldest and largest nonprofit health and human services organizations, has named Julie RobinsonTingue Vice President, Chief of Staff. In this newly created position, Robinson-Tingue will report directly to President and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Jeffrey L. Reynolds.

“I am thrilled to welcome an administrator and communicator of Julie’s caliber to FCA,” said Dr. Reynolds. “Her decades of experience in both regional and national health care as well as in the not-for-profit sphere is a potent combination. She is sure to be a great asset to me and to FCA as a whole.”

In her new position, Robinson-Tingue will be an important part of the management team, serving as a strategic and administrative partner providing high level support to Dr. Reynolds. She will be tasked with maximizing efficiencies across FCA to help expand the number of people it can serve, cultivating increased communication across FCA’s divisions, and continuing to strengthen a culture of value and inclusion among FCA employees by closely partnering with front line teams and administrators.

“I look forward to contributing to FCA with the knowledge and tools I’ve acquired from my diverse healthcare experiences over many years,” said Robinson-Tingue.

“My various positions have fine-tuned my ability to present the macro picture of health care and advise how local organizations can better navigate this landscape to assist

clients needing or receiving care. We must continue to seek out new and better ways to help people access the care they deserve.”

Prior to joining FCA, Robinson-Tingue spent 2 1/2 years with Optum Health (part of UnitedHealth Group), most recently as Senior Director, Corporate Communications. She was part of a national corporate communications team that develops and oversees strategic processes and provides counsel for all executive, internal and external communications that impact Optum care delivery organizations nationwide. Before her time at Optum, Robinson-Tingue was Senior Director, Strategic Communication for Northwell Health. She is a graduate of Northwell Health’s 2016 High Potential Experiential Executive Development Program reserved for the top one percent of its leaders.

Robinson-Tingue lives in Bay Shore, New York with her family.

FCA is a not-for-profit agency helping more than 35,000 Long Islanders each year.

For nearly 140 years, the organization has worked to protect and strengthen vulnerable children, seniors, families, and communities on Long Island.

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.”

Solution: 12 Letters

WORD FIND

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.

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.

South dealer.

Neither side vulnerable.

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.

There’s Magic In The Air

T

Port Holiday Magic will return to Port Washington with three magical Saturdays instead of one

here are so many advantages to shopping locally for the holiday season, and Port Holiday Magic will provide tons of extra reasons for you to support our local businesses that create jobs, boost the economy and preserve our neighborhoods.

Everyone benefits when we remember “before you click and buy, give Port a try.”

All three magical days will have the following: Store Specials: Participating businesses will offer something special for their customers—a discount on merchandise, services or gift cards; a gift with purchase; holiday treats; free gift wrapping; in-store entertainment, and more. Find a list of the offers on www. pwcoc.org and on the Try Port First app. Also look for postings on social media.

Free Trolley Rides: We will have a picturesque trolley taking shoppers from one end of Main Street to the other, making several stops in both directions—for free.

Shoppertainment: Lots of things are planned to bring the holiday spirit to our streets. The Port Washington Fire Department will have Santa ride a fire engine throughout town on November 25. We will have outdoor entertainment, both live and recorded. Other entertainment includes carolers and costumed characters who will greet shoppers. There will be holiday themed blowups that provide great opportunities for selfies.

Free Parking On Main Street: The Town of North Hempstead Parking District will cover the meters and suspend the on-street parking meter fees on Main Street and certain other streets starting on Small Business

contest can be found on the Try Port First app, under EVENTS.

Saturday, Nov. 25, and continuing through Jan. 1, 2024.

Sidewalk Sales: Look for stores selling merchandise outdoors if weather permits.

Holiday Decorations: In addition to beautiful storefront decorations, the BID will install lit snowflakes on the utility poles and the Chamber of Commerce will adorn the Main Street lampposts with garlands, lights and red bows. Port will look festive and bright both day and night.

The magical days are: Saturday, Nov. 25: Port Holiday Magic on Small Business Saturday. We will have all of the festivities described above including Santa riding through town on a fire truck. On this day, stores will kick off the season with many specials for their customers.

Saturday, Dec. 2: Port Holiday Giving Magic when we ask everyone to “SHOP

LOCAL, GIVE LOCAL.” We encourage you to make donations to local organizations and to our “Make a Child Smile Toy, Food & Diaper Drive” at participating stores which are listed on the Try Port First app. You can also visit “Stuff the Bus” at the train station to donate new, unwrapped toys for less fortunate children in our town.

Saturday,Dec. 9: Port Holiday Window Magic. Businesses throughout town are showing their holiday spirit and going all out to decorate their windows. A panel of judges will view the participating windows and cast their votes. There will also be a “WALK AND WAG” with dogs in costumes and their owners walking around town to admire the window decorations. The window winner will be announced and will receive recognition and photos in the local papers and on social media. A list of all the stores in the

Port Holiday Magic raises awareness of the vital role small businesses play in our community and our economy. Shopping locally for the holidays is safe, convenient, and easy. You are supporting your local merchants who not only appreciate your business but also pay a large share of property taxes and help maintain the economic stability of our community. They also provide special customer services that the online merchants and big box stores don’t offer and they support requests for donations for our community organizations like the schools, scouts, religious and civic institutions, and others. Importantly, online shoppers may not realize that for every $100 you spend in your local small businesses, $68 stays in our community through jobs, taxes, contributions to non-profits and more. For every $100 you spend online, $0 stays in our community. Help strengthen our community by supporting local businesses that support our town. Shop Local on Port Holiday Magic and throughout the holiday season.

Port Holiday Magic is grateful to our sponsors: Catholic Health Services, The Greater Port Washington Business Improvement District (BID) and The Peter and Jeri Dejana Foundation. Port Holiday Magic is organized by the BID, the Chamber of Commerce, Landmark on Main Street and Residents Forward. It is supported by the Town of North Hempstead and the Port Washington Police District.

Be Safety Conscious In School Zones And At Bus Stops Turning back the clock means that students are waiting for their morning school bus in the dark. As a result, even greater caution is needed. Students need to be careful when entering the “school bus danger zone” –10 feet in front, behind or on either side of the bus. Motorists need to be alert and always stop for a school bus when flashing lights are illuminated.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration provides the following safety tips: For Students: Stand at least six feet (three giant steps) in front of the bus and make sure the bus from the approaching school bus while driver sees you. waiting at the bus stop.

Always watch for oncoming traffic when Wait to board the bus until the driver says approaching or leaving the bus. it is safe.

For Drivers: When getting off of the bus, cross the street When driving in neighborhoods with bus

stops, schools and school zones, watch out for children walking or bicycling to school.

Slow down. Look for children walking in the street, especially if there are no sidewalks in the neighborhood.

Remember, children do not easily estimate

vehicle speeds and often misjudge when it is safe to cross the street when a vehicle is approaching.

Learn and obey the school bus laws in your state. Obey the “flashing signal light system” that school bus drivers use to alert motorists of pending actions: Yellow flashing lights indicate that the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children. Motorists should slow down and prepare to stop their vehicles.

Red flashing lights and extended stop arms indicate that the bus has stopped, and that children are getting on or off. Motorists must stop their cars and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop sign is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving before they can start driving again.

SCHOOL NEWS

OPED

Now More Than Ever: Extinguishing Antisemitism And The Need For Civic Discourse

Port Washington Schools Celebrate Halloween

BY PORT WASHINGTON SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS, DR. MICHAEL HYNES

For the past five years, I have grown to truly appreciate and love our school district and community. I’ve never experienced a location that has so many talented, intelligent and caring people in one area like Port Washington. As a school district and community, we often state that “Diversity is our strength; that every child and adult deserves to be treated with respect, dignity and fairness, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or religion.” It’s hard to argue against the notion of respect, dignity and the strength of a diverse community.

Sadly, and recently, a group of our young high school students created and shared an antisemitic social media post. To say this incident has had a profoundly hurtful impact on our community would be an understatement…especially to our Jewish friends, children and families. When you compound this with the crisis in Israel, it produces even more emotions.

Over the past several weeks I’ve spoken with a multitude of parents, students and educators in our school district and the amazing Rabbis in our Port community.

One thing is certain. Far too many are anxious, scared, sad and angry about the increase in antisemitism locally, regionally and nationally. Some parents fear sending their children to school. We are at the point where you can’t pick up the newspaper or watch the news without observing a new antisemitic incident on Long Island.

So, I go back to what I mentioned earlier as to how Port Washington believes, “Diversity is our strength; that every child and adult deserve to be treated with respect, dignity and fairness, regardless of their race, ethnicity or religion” and I ask us the hard question, “Are we really doing enough?” Truth be told; we aren’t even close. I ask a more precise question, “What are we doing to address antisemitism as a district and as a community?” My opinion is… not enough. From the school district perspective, it’s time to change this narrative starting now. As the leader of this incredible school system, I set the tone. I can do better, and I am confident that as a community, we can do better. It begins with stating an incident is antisemitic when it

Michael Hynes, Ed.D. Superintendent of the Port Washington School District.

happens in very clear language. We need all hands-on deck so we can all work on this together.

Change begins with each one of us, and we must educate ourselves and our community about the history and consequences of antisemitism in a more substantial way than what we are currently doing. I am committed now more than ever and will certainly need your help. We must engage in open and empathetic conversations, fostering understanding and unity. I don’t believe this one incident defines us, but it does shed light on the work that must be done and will only be successful if we do this together.

Unfortunately, what many of us are experiencing at this time in history is a nation of people who inhabit a world that is completely binary. A world where one is either right or wrong, it’s black or white, there is no gray at all. Anything presented with context or nuance is a lost cause. Gone are the days of looking at a complex problem and seeking to understand. Listening to understand, not just react… we are living in a nation where civic discourse has almost completely eroded.

A divided community or society can return to civic discourse only if the people on each side make themselves vulnerable to being challenged on their convictions and open to the possibility of alternative perspectives, and to respect the humanity of those who disagree. Everyone’s voice must be valued. Right now, our Jewish community needs us. Let’s work to extinguish antisemitism in our schools and in our incredible Port Washington community.

Let’s do so by having the much needed civic and empathetic conversations that will help us achieve this goal…by everyone working together.

TOWN NEWS

Love On A Leash- Adopt A Town Of North Hempstead Shelter Pet Willie Willie is a 1-year-old black lab mix that came from an overcrowded shelter in Georgia through a rescue program. Willie has a typical lab personality: goofy, fun loving, and affectionate. Unfortunately, whoever was Willie’s previous owner did not do much training with him. He needs a family to continue teaching his commands as well as teaching him that not everyone wants to be jumped on for a hug. Willie gets along with everyone he meets, dogs and humans alike, and would make a great companion to any household that is dedicated to keep working with him.

Town Hosts Annual Senior Halloween Dances Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Jennifer DeSena, along with Councilmembers Peter Zuckerman, Dennis Walsh, Veronica Lurvey and Town Clerk Ragini Srivastava and Receiver of Taxes Charles Berman celebrated the spooky holiday at the Town’s annual senior Halloween Dances. Festivities were held at Fuschillo Park and Clinton G. Martin Park in New Hyde Park on Oct. 20 and 27. Hundreds of senior residents dressed up in costumes and celebrated Halloween with food, music, and games.

Town Hosts Pumpkin Fest North Hempstead Town Supervisor Jennifer DeSena, Council Member Peter Zuckerman and Town Clerk Ragini Srivastava recently attended Pumpkin Fest on October 11 at Clinton G.

Gypsy Gypsy is a 3-year-old Cane Corso that came to the shelter as a stray. Gypsy is a typical Cane Corso. She can be wary and shy around new people but once she warms up she is quite snuggly. She has been enjoying the shelter’s nature trail while walking nicely on a leash and gets along well with other well-mannered dogs.

Gypsy would thrive in a less busy household with large breed/ mastiff experience with no young children. With a little patience and a lot of love you will have a loving companion for life.

Chance Chance is a 1-1/2-year-old, 35-pound Mini Labradoodle looking for a high energy household that can keep up with him. This boy is smart as a whip- he knows many commands and is very treat motivated- he will work for treats. He enjoys short sessions

He would make a great walking and jogging partner. Due to some information from the previous owners, we are not recommending Chance to live with small children and will require an active household with some dog experience.

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
