she explained. “We start with health promotion and [drug misuse] prevention… We want to address the social, economic, educational, and health needs on a population level in order to prevent substance misuse, that’s really the aim of the coalition.” Then for members of the community who are already substance abusers, the organization switched gears to address intervention and recovery. “This is where our partnership at Yes Community Counseling Center is so beneficial.”

YEAR IN REVIEW

Members of an amputee support group meet in person for the first time. (Photo credit: Lauren Feldman)

YEAR IN REVIEW from page 3 500 cars, gathered in the parking lot for the fourth-annual Blue Angel Car Show.

Thousands of spectators roamed this impressive display, but many did not know that this incredible community gathering all started with a single blue Thunderbird, and a family who experienced a tragic loss.

Brittany Marie grew up in East Meadow.

From her house on the corner, she would sit on the porch and wave as her neighbor passed by in a light blue Ford Thunderbird.

Brittany’s mother Carrie would often sit with her. One day, when Brittany was around eight or nine years old, she asked, “Mommy, can I own that one day? I really love that car.” The Thunderbird, which was the exact color of Brittany’s eyes, had her spellbound. Carrie promised that yes, one day she could work and save up the money to get one of her very own.

Unfortunately, this would never happen.

Brittany, like so many kids across the country, suffered from depression. Carrie and the rest of Brittany’s family had tried everything they could think of, but in the end, this disease took Brittany’s life on October 2, 2009, when she was just 14 years old. After her loss, Carrie found her way to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, where she has volunteered for over a decade and is now a board member.

“I wanted to get involved to help other families not have to go through what I went through,” she said.

Carrie’s loss eventually led her to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, where she has worked for over 14 years, to help parents who have also lost their loved ones. Throughout that time, she never forgot about that blue Thunderbird, one of the few things which seemed to imbue her daughter with joy and hope.

And so Carrie began to search for her own Thunderbird. Carrie spent over ten years looking, and with the help of her husband Phil finally tracked down the perfect car, the exact shade of blue as her daughter’s eyes.

It was this car which has forefronted

the Blue Angel Car Show, which has taken place at Sunrise Mall in Massapequa for the last four years. “I drive this blue angel knowing my baby is sitting in the front seat with a smile on her face,” Carrie said on the podium at the beginning of the show. “We decided to show off this beautiful car in Brittany’s honor, and at the same time raise money for the AFSP.”

Long Island’s First Amputee Picnic

When you are accustomed to moving about the world in a certain way, and all of a sudden that changes, it can be a big shock.

For those on Long Island who have lost limbs, going through such a drastic bodily change can be isolating, lonely, and scary.

In September, a group of organizations sought to alleviate some of these social difficulties. Three of Paragon’s Long Island centers offering specialized programs for amputees — Lynbrook Restorative Therapy and Nursing, Momentum at South Bay in East Islip and Excel in Woodbury — held a picnic at Bethpage State Park to bring together the amputee community of Long Island.

Affected members of the community were invited to play golf and Jenga, learn more about improving their care, view the latest innovations in prostheses and meet living examples showing how losing a limb doesn’t have to slow them down. “One of our goals with our amputee program is to show that limb loss surgery and amputation is not the end of your life,” said Mike Verbsky, director of the amputee rehab program at Momentum in South Bay, and also the director of diabetic management and education program. “You can absolutely go back to your prior hobbies, your prior work, all of that.”

For Long Island amputees, events like these are sadly few and far between. This event was the first of its kind on Long Island, and it was truly a multi-year effort. “This event is the culmination of building up our three programs, getting them to where they are today, and being able to have everyone

come together,” said Verbsky. Many attendees were meeting for the first time in person, after years of remote gatherings.

It was a successful beginning to what will hopefully become an annual celebration of overcoming adversity.

Fundraising for Alzheimer’s

Local residents participated in this year’s Nassau Walk to End Alzheimer’s at Eisenhower Park back in October.

Participants raised more than $284,000 to support the care, support and research programs of the Alzheimer’s Association.

“Thank you to everyone that came out to support Walk to End Alzheimer’s at Eisenhower Park,” said Tinamarie Hardekopf, director of development for the Alzheimer’s Association Long Island Chapter. “This helps the Alzheimer’s Association raise awareness and funds for families facing the disease.”

On Walk day, participants honored those affected by Alzheimer’s with the poignant Promise Garden ceremony — “a mission-focused experience that signifies our solidarity in the fight against the disease.” The colors of the Promise Garden flowers represent people’s connection to Alzheimer’s — their personal reasons to end the disease.

“It was a beautiful day to raise awareness at Eisenhower Park,” said Ed Miller, cochair of Walk to End Alzheimer’s — Nassau. “Being part of the walk committee was such an honor as this event will help those affected

by Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia. Walk to End Alzheimer’s truly shows that you are not alone.”

Free I.D. Program Helps Keep Children Safe

When a child goes missing, every minute is precious. Law enforcement needs accurate information and quickly. That is the mission of Operation Safe Child; to provide parents with an ID card for their children containing pertinent physical information, giving law enforcement officials a head start on locating or identifying a missing child.

This service came to the Hicksville Public

Nassau County DA’s Safe Child booth.

Library in November, to help keep local children safe.

Statistics show that 34 percent of parents in the United States do not know their child’s exact height, weight, and eye color.

And, when a child is reported missing, time can be the greatest adversary. Possessing up-to-date photographs and detailed information about a child can prove to be important proactive measures that can greatly assist local law enforcement officials to quickly respond to a child’s disappearance.

As a child, I was offered the chance to have an ID card at my elementary school.

My mother felt the card gave her and my father a sense of security. “I felt a peace of mind with having the card. It gave us an awareness of, if all of a sudden you got lost or something, we had something immediately that we could use to provide a picture and details about you. Now I could have that with me at all times,” my mother said.

The Hicksville Library was overjoyed to welcome a plethora of parents, guardians, and their children, and hopes their efforts will make all the difference if the unthinkable were to happen.

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

1.

2.

3.

It's usually at home.

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

It's typically covered by insurance.

Most patients qualify through Medicaid, Medicare or private insurance.

It can last up to six months.

Many people would benefit by entering hospice earlier.

4.

It includes full medical care.

5.

It's not just for patients.

6.

Hospice isn't about death.

It's about life.

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

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

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

Talking about hospice can be hard.

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

To Gift Or Not To Gift ‘Tis the season for gift-giving!

It doesn’t matter what holiday your loved ones celebrate in December; once we’ve eaten that last few bites of apple pie and taken home our Thanksgiving doggie bags, we focus on gift-giving. Hopefully, you made mental notes during the year or saw exciting things on infomercials as possible gifts.

Whatever your process, there is probably a list involved. When the kids were little, they would put together a wish list for Santa. Instead of sending it to the North Pole, it became a road map for our holiday shopping.

Our nieces and nephews needed to be shopped for and although we never had access to their Santa lists, a quick call to one of their parents served us well. Of course, we reciprocated for our kids, coordinating with aunts, uncles, and grandparents.

As time passed, coming up with gift ideas became more challenging. A stuffed animal, video game, or VHS/DVD movie would usually hit the mark with young kids. As they grew into adulthood, we didn’t know what they were into anymore.

Now they have spouses or significant others and holiday gift-giving has become more complex and expensive. Where do you draw the line? Is there an age limit on gift-giving? How can you leave anyone out when the others open Christmas presents?

Welcome to the world of “Elfster.”

Elfster is a website that helps coordinate an online gift exchange for family, friends, and even co-workers. Using the participants’ email addresses, everyone becomes a Secret Santa and is assigned one person to purchase a gift for. And the best part?

Everyone creates a wish list of gifts they want.

Some online retailers allow people to create individual wish lists, but those are limited to what that retailer sells. With Elfster, you can identify gifts from different

we can see their entire list on Elfster. Talk about easy-peasy.

Could you imagine the efficiency at the North Pole if Santa and the elves just invested in superfast Wi-Fi? Instead of pouring over illegible handwritten lists or opening all those letters (where do they put all that paper anyway?), kids worldwide could update their wish lists on Elfster and include the link for expediency.

Well, dear readers, this is our last column together for 2023. I wish you all the happiest of holiday seasons and hope the New Year brings health and prosperity to you and your family. I look forward to continuing our relationship and keeping you entertained with a smile on your face.

Take care, and see you all soon!

retailers, like Amazon, Walmart, or Barnes and Noble, and combine them on one comprehensive wish list. You can even include a direct website link. It’s almost too good to be true.

This will be the third year we’ve used Elfster to coordinate our family-wide Christmas gift-giving, which has grown to 14 recipients. We set a limit of $30; everyone gets a gift from their list, and no one knows who it came from. It’s like an electronic letter to Santa!

Participating in this online gift exchange has done wonders for our family. Everyone creates a personal wish list of possible gifts, and thanks to Elfster, we can control the assignment of your Secret Santa. For example, parents don’t want to be assigned their children in the gift exchange, and they don’t want to get their siblings or significant others.

With one $30 gift each, all 14 people can open presents when we gather for Christmas again this year. It’s almost too simple.

But wait, there’s more!

We’ve instructed our kids (and their significant others) to put as many gifts as possible on their Elfster list so we can use them as a roadmap to help us select their gifts for Christmas. Instead of harassing them all month to give us a list (which we don’t usually receive until the last minute),

Your Opinion Matters

Help protect youth in our communities Nassau County residents know all too well about the dangers of substance misuse as the opioid epidemic continues to destroy families and lives throughout our neighborhoods. Your help is imperative to find the best ways to keep our youth safe and healthy.

YES Community Counseling Center’s Partnering in Action Change for Tomorrow (PACT) asks all adult residents to participate in an anonymous survey about their knowledge, attitudes and behaviors related to substance use in youth. Participation in this survey will further PACT’s efforts to prevent and reduce substance misuse in our communities. The survey takes approximately five minutes to complete.

To access the survey link go to:https:// survey.alchemer.com/s3/5483273/YesCommunity-Sub or scan the QR code with your mobile device.

PACT is funded through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (SAMHSA-CSAP) to prevent the

onset and reduce the progression of substance use and its related problems among youth and young adults. This initiative collaborates with state and federally funded community coalitions including Massapequa Takes Action Coalition (MTAC), Levittown Community Action Coalition (LCAC), and Hispanic Alliance for Prevention (HAP). Working together, we seek to understand patterns of substance misuse to better address this challenge through targeted prevention, education and outreach.

Your input and feedback are critical to our youth’s health and community’s future.

For more information about PACT or this survey, contact Rachael Neglia, Program Coordinator of PACT at YES Community Counseling Center at (516) 799-3203 x230 or email at pact@yesccc.org. Parents, guardians and residents are asked to take YES Community Counseling Center’s PACT survey to provide critical input about our youth’s health and future across Nassau County.

For example our mother’s admonition: “If you can’t think of something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” Or memorize this passage from Psalm 141: “Lord, place a guard over my mouth, a sentry at the door of my lips.” Then pray it just before joining in negative talk. You’ll be surprised at how well God can keep us from saying things we’d later regret.

Instead of giving in to the distress and despair of seeing the world and our country descend deeper into discord, it might be helpful to recognize that while we can’t halt the wars and divisions in the wider world, we can be the evergreen hope in the midst of winter if we share life-giving, supportive and loving words to those we

Peace On Earth can influence.

It might be helpful to know that during the American Civil War, the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow dealt with the divisions in our land with the words that inspired a Christmas song: “And in despair I bowed my head; “There is no peace on earth,” I said; “For hate is strong, And mocks the song Of peace on earth, goodwill to men!” Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: “God is not dead, nor does He sleep; The Wrong shall fail, The Right prevail, With peace on earth, good-will to men.”

Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, whether you have a “real tree” or an artificial one, whether you’re extra blessed or extra stressed, I invite you to choose to ring out words of peace and good will in the days ahead.

COMBINING QUALITY AND COST IS ONE OF THE THINGS WE DO BEST Knowing the families in our community, we understand quality service and cost are both important. We also know people are more comfortable when they have choices.

Our list of services assures your family the dignity they deserve at a cost you determine.

If you ever have a question or would like more information, feel free to call or stop by.

There isn’t anything particularly Christian about a Christmas tree.

Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, which is in the Middle East – not a place hospitable to the kind of pine trees we bring into homes at this time of year. It doesn’t really represent anything deeply spiritual. The custom has its roots (pun intended) in the ancient woods of Europe where my ancestors worshipped trees and forest-things before Christianity spread there.

The power of the evergreen in northern climates is that while every other tree has shed its leaves and looks dead in winter, the pine tree shows that it is still alive and it symbolizes hope and resilience no matter how cold and dark things are.

Lately I’ve noticed that the needles of many pine trees along Long Island’s highways have been turning brown, and a recent windstorm stripped countless trees bare. So much for hope and resilience!

What is happening?

It turns out that our local trees are being infested with the southern pine beetle. The infestation of these tiny bugs – smaller than a grain of rice – prevents the trees from taking up water, and so they die. A dozen or so of these beetles don’t have an effect but thousands do. And once the first beetles land on a tree and crawl into its cracks,

Manhasset Press

Letter’s Long Distance Travels John Thomson III was on a trip with friends in Abaco, Bahamas when he decided to throw a message in a bottle into the ocean, a tradition from when he was a kid on his parents’ boat. What he was not expecting was for someone to find it. Twice.

“In March, I was on a charter with friends in the Bahamas. We sailed South in the ocean and the idea popped into my head to launch a message in a bottle,” said Thomson.

He made up a note, had the crew sign it, and put it in a bottle along with his business card.

He had done this numerous times as a kid and never had one returned.

On June 20, Patrick Callan came into Thomson’s store saying that his daughter, Melissa C. Donaldson, found the message in a bottle walking on the beach near her home in Jupiter, FL. She recognized Thomson’s name because her father knows Thomson’s family from Manhasset.

“The odds of someone finding my bottle and then the odds of being from the same home town and actually knowing each other is astounding,” said Thomson.

“Someone else found the bottle walking on the beach in the Bahamas. On March 30, Elizabeth Handwerker was picking up debris on the beach when she came across my bottle. She added her own note and then she and her husband dropped it off their boat off on the coast of Florida. The odds of a message in a bottle being found twice is astonishing.”

Port Washington News

Access To Grand Central Madison And The LIRR This year marked the opening of The East Side Access Project, in which Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) riders gained access to Grand Central Madison. The East Side Access was a $12 billion project, which marked the first expansion of the LIRR in more than 100 years.

Riders on the LIRR gained direct access to the east side of Manhattan, easing overcrowding in and around Penn Station.

On Monday, Feb. 27, a milestone event made Long Island history as the 5:08 a.m. train from Port Washington rolled out of the station as the first train to take commuters to the new Grand Central Madison terminal of the LIRR. History buffs and members of the Cow Neck Historical Peninsula Society (CNHPS) joined residents on the inaugural train run at 5:08 a.m.

While history was made, all commuters had to adjust their schedules for their morning and evening commutes. In July, the LIRR announced plans to eliminate express trains from the Port Washington Line, affecting commuters in Manhasset, Great Neck, Plandome and Port Washington.

Local officials and the LIRR heard the concerns from the community and in September the LIRR abandoned the plans to eliminate the express trains.

There continues to be complaints from the community regarding the constant schedule changes. The LIRR is still working to try to get the train schedules up to par with the communities’ requests.

A Roslyn Landmark Comes Back To Life On July 26, The Roslyn Landmark Society joined with local dignitaries, including Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Jen DeSena, Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggiWhitton, Roslyn Mayor John Durkin, and Town Councilman Peter Zuckerman to celebrate the conclusion of Phase I of the Roslyn Grist Mill Restoration Project.

They marked the achievement of all cribbing and steel support beams being removed, as the Mill was lowered onto its new foundation, supported by its restored historic timber frame.

The Grist Mill, originally known as the Robeson-Williams Mill, is the oldest commercial structure in the Village of Roslyn. Historians claim that it is one of the few surviving Dutch colonial commercial frame buildings in the U.S. In 1986, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Durkin hailed the Grist Mill of standing with the Ellen E. Ward Clock Tower as the village’s two great representative structures.

The Grist Mill’s renovation, he added, would serve to “keep our village connected to the past and connected to the future.”

Timber framers and the construction crew returned to the Roslyn Grist Mill in November and completed the installation of the timber frame and began work on the roof rafters. And early in December, the Roslyn Grist Mill site was winterized. A new front entrance was built and the roof rafters are ready to be installed in the Spring 2024.

Great Neck Record

Attorney General Letitia James Visits Great Neck On Friday, Jan. 13, Temple Beth-El of Great Neck hosted its annual Shabbat Service honoring the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. Each year on the Friday of Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, Temple Beth-El hosts a special Shabbat Service with a keynote speaker to honor MLK Jr. for his involvement in the civil rights moment and commemorate his visit to the Temple in 1967. This year’s keynote speaker was New York State’s Attorney General, Letitia James.

With public expressions of racism, antisemitism, and anti-Asian bias increasing across America, the special service gathering was held not only to honor MLK and his work but inspired hope, strength, community and respect among everyone in attendance.

Attorney General James delivered a powerful and eloquent speech that energized the crowd.

James listed examples of progress throughout our nation in the forms of government action and leadership that have broken social norms and made America a more inclusive and welcoming place for all.

“I’m hopeful that love, acceptance and inclusion will always push out hate and darkness,” said James. “I’m hopeful because of people like all of you. I am seeing that spark that ignites the fires of change that have always simmered but have never fully flamed throughout our nation’s history. We have individuals to empower, communities to strengthen children, to educate the ceilings, to crack, all a tall task. It all can be accomplished when we work together and invest in each other.”

Tragedy Strikes Farmingdale Joy and excitement quickly turned to shock and despair on Thursday, September 21, as a bus containing members of the Farmingdale High School band camp careened down an embankment. Of the 44 passengers on board, dozens were severely injured, and five were in critical condition.

Two lives were lost in the accident; 43year-old Gina Pellettiere, and 77-year-old Beatrice Ferrari. Pellettiere was a beloved teacher at the school, known as “Ms. P.” to her students. She was also a single mother of a two-year-old. Ferrari, helping chaperone the trip, was a retired teacher and has been described as “a shining light in Farmingdale.”

Following the accident, schools across Long Island donned green and joined together to raise funds and support. Social media was abundant with the hashtags #DalerForADay and #DalerStrong, as students past and present recalled their Farmingdale experiences. “I haven’t found the words to eloquently speak about Farmingdale’s loss,” wrote Luna D’Andrilli on Facebook. “It’s enormous. Having been a member of the music dept. for six years I can however attest to the powerful community and know they will be strong for each other and for our schools, students and music teachers.”

Woodbury Nursing Home Faces Lawsuit, Benefit Cuts Over the year, Cold Spring Hills Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation, located in Woodbury, has come under scrutiny.

In December, 2022, New York State Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit against the nursing home for fraud and mismanagement that led to under-staffing, which ultimately resulted in neglect and harm. The lawsuit alleges that the nursing home owners diverted $22.6 million in Medicaid and Medicare funds from resident care through a fraudulent network of companies used to conceal profit-taking.

From Aug. 4 to 14, Cold Spring Hills Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation picketed outside the nursing home in response to the potential loss of their benefits after management failed to pay into the workers’ health benefits fund.

The date employees risked losing their benefits was postponed as management made partial payments into the funds.

The petition, by New York Commissioner of Health James V. McDonald and James, alleged that after the proceeding against the nursing home began, the respondent stopped paying the National Benefit Fund of union 1199SEIU, which provides specific medical, dental, disability and other related benefits. The petition also stated that as of Sept. 8, the facility owes more than $5 million to the fund and must make monthly payments ranging between $920,000 and $1.1 million.

Casino Proposals For Nassau Coliseum This year, casino proposals have been all the rage in New York State, including in Nassau County. The Las Vegas Sands Corporation made headlines throughout 2023 with its plans to develop a casino, entertainment venue, and hotel and spa facilities at the current site of the Nassau Hub, pending approval from the state. In the spring and summer, County Executive Bruce Blakeman voiced his support for the project, and the 99year lease he approved with Sands received support from a majority of Nassau legislators.

In the meantime, Sands has engaged and invested in an ongoing public information and community outreach campaign, hosting numerous sports-themed clinics and events for kids, among other things.

Not everyone in Nassau County has shown their support for the proposed casino, of course. Voices in Garden City and Westbury leadership have been among those to push back, as has Hofstra University, which successfully sued to have the 99-year lease invalidated (at least temporarily) on the grounds that the public was not duly informed about the process along the way. Opponents of the plan have also argued that the proposed development would increase environmental hazards, such as pollution, in neighboring areas. At present, the County seems committed to moving forward.

Streets Dedicated To Honorable Residents On Aug. 4, Sheppard Street in Glen Head, which resident Joseph Paolillo called home for 21 years along with his wife, Josephine, and his three sons, was dedicated towards his memory. Sadly, in 2019, Paolillo passed away from 9/11-related cancer contracted in the aftermath of the search and recovery efforts at the World Trade Center. Paolillo had been searching for the remains of his brother John, an FDNY Battalion Chief, as well as other Americans. Members of the NYPD and officials from the Town of Oyster Bay and Nassau County gathered with Paolillo’s family, friends and neighbors for a street dedication.

On Oct. 19, Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and members of the Town Board joined with the Oyster Bay-East

Norwich School District and hundreds of residents in dedicating ‘Billy Joel Way’ to legendary musician and environmental advocate Billy Joel. The sixth-grade advanced band from James Vernon School performed for the music icon.

Late last year, legislators, members of the Marie Colvin Memorial Foundation, Syosset High School student Sabrina Guo and the sister of the late war reporter Marie Colvin, Cat Colvin, gathered with fellow community members in downtown Oyster Bay for a street renaming ceremony. Marie Colvin, raised in Oyster Bay, reported from the front lines of war zones. On Feb. 22, 2012, she was killed

by Syrian rocket fire at the makeshift media center where she and several other journalists were staying.

Environmental News For 2023 world. Climate change impacts will continue to worsen as global temperatures and greenhouse gas emissions increase.

New York State has already enacted legislation to combat climate change. On July 18, 2019, the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (Climate Act) was signed into law. This is among the most ambitious climate laws in the nation and requires New York to reduce economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions 40 percent by 2030 and no less than 85 percent by 2050.

Water Quality Report Card For Manhasset Bay Tucked between two peninsulas, Manhasset Bay is a beautiful body of water. However, all is not well in Manhasset Bay. As with much of Long Island, the health of this picturesque waterbody is under threat. Save the Sound, an organization that monitors the quality of water in Long Island Sound and its watersheds, gave the Bay an average grade of C for 2023.

Close to shore, the water is subject to human pollutants like nitrogen and stormwater discharge. Nitrogen is an important element of the chemical balance in healthy waterbodies. When the nitrogen levels exceed that normal balance, it throws off all of the other elements, including dissolved oxygen and chlorophyll, leading to a potentially toxic situation. Chlorophyll is related to phytoplankton, which is small algae that float in the water. These phytoplankton are critical for a healthy ecosystem. However, excess chlorophyll, which indicates large blooms of algae in the water, is closely linked to the presence of nitrogen. Excess nitrogen can lead to algal blooms, which are harmful to wildlife and people, and these algae blooms are related to a lower dissolved oxygen level.

Changing how we manage waste water, using an organic fertilizer less frequently, if at all, and slowing and reducing stormwater runoff are all accessible, easy ways to impact water quality in the bay for the better.

According to the most recent report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) states that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from human activities are responsible for accelerating global warming and climate change. Higher temperatures, more frequent precipitation and storms, faster rates of ocean warming, and sea level rise are some of the key physical effects of climate change that are impacting communities and ecosystems around the

Smoke Impacts From June 6 to 9, large swaths of the U.S. East Coast were blanketed in wildfire smoke originating in Eastern Canada, where climate change and related environmental factors (e.g. longer summers, shorter winters, less rain, and invasive bark-boring beetles, to name a few) have led to wildfires of increasing intensity and scope in recent years.

Seeing a red sun blotted out in a sky full of woodsmoke is not an uncommon occurrence on the West Coast of North America, where worsening wildfires have ravaged large parts of California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia in the past decade.

Here on the East Coast, however, the sight was shocking to many, as was the pervasive smell of woodsmoke and the irritation of particulate matter in our regional air. As a result, perhaps, reactions to the conditions were mixed and somewhat staggered among state and municipal authorities.

School districts and municipalities in lower New York State were mostly left to make their own decisions about the smoke, which is generally a difficult condition to predict, and moved into our area quickly on June 6 after weeks of ongoing fires in Canada.

Distance perception and attention are impaired when you use any cannabis, resulting in greater potential for car crashes.

The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder by David Grann

Published on April 18, 2023 | Nonfiction, History, Adventure In 1742, a patched-together vessel washed up on the coast of Brazil with 30 emaciated men. The men claimed they were survivors of His Majesty’s Ship, the Wager, a ship that had left England in 1740 on a secret mission. The shipwreck landed the men on a desolate island, where they were stranded for months before building the vessel to get home.

Six months later, another vessel landed on the coast of Chile, containing three men who told a different story from the shipwreck. They said the sailors who landed in Brazil were not heroes; they were mutineers.

The page-turning story of shipwreck, survival, and savagery culminates in a court martial that reveals a shocking truth.

Robert Oppenheimer and his role in the development of the atomic bomb. In the film, we see his life from his time in university all the way to post-WWII, where his fame saw him entangled in political schemes. This highly anticipated film, directed by Christopher Nolan, was a powerful biopic that examined Oppenheimer’s brilliance, accomplishments and flaws.

The movie quickly gained pop-culture fame due to its release on the same day as the Barbie movie. Fans of both films and films in general dubbed the day as Barbenheimer and movie lovers flocked the theaters to see the double feature. ....................

PG-13 | Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy | Stars: Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Issa

2023 Blockbusters Rae | Box Office Gross Worldwide (according to IMDB): $1,441,801,376 At first glance, this movie may seem like a film for kids about the legendary Barbie toy. But director Greta Gerwig created a film where Barbie suffers a crisis that leads her to question her world and existence.

While the movie is colorful and funny, it also explores femininity and existentialism as Barbie leaves her world and enters the real world.

With bright pink posters and glittering commercials, the Barbie movie seemed like the film for girls and women who want to be reminded of the joy that is the Barbie doll. However, the Barbenheimer double feature allowed the film to gain immense popularity among all film enthusiasts, drawing crowds of men of all ages to see what the hype was about. ....................

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes PG-13 | Action, Adventure, Drama | Stars: Rachel Zegler, Tom Blyth, Viola Davis | Box Office Gross Worldwide (according to IMDB): $244,813,968 The long-awaited prequel to The Hunger Games series was released in November of this year. The film follows a young President Snow, Coriolanus Snow, as he mentors and

develops feelings for the female District 12 tribute during the 10th Hunger Games.

The Hunger Games trilogy was published in 2008-2010 and was an immediate hit for young readers. The movie series, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson, produced four movies from 2012 to 2015.

When The Hunger Games author released the prequel to the series in 2020, fans were quickly thrilled about the anticipation of another film. ....................

Spiderman: Across the Spider-Verse

When the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles must redefine what it means to be a hero.

While animated films are often seen as children’s movies, this film quickly became popular with Marvel fans of all ages.

The film’s quick wit, incredible graphics, intricate storyline and plot twists all added up to create a cult favorite.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

PG-13 | Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi | Stars: Harrison Ford, Phoebe WallerBridge, Antonio Banderas | Box Office Gross Worldwide (according to IMDB): $383,936,057 In the latest installment of Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford reprised his role as Archaeologist Indiana Jones. Jones races against time to retrieve a legendary artifact that can change the course of history.

This is the fifth Indiana Jones movie. The first movie, Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark was released in 1981.

EDITORIAL: OUR OPINION

2023: Remembering The Departed

JOSEPH SCOTCHIE jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

People are sure living longer. The year 2023, as with all others, saw the passing of American notables. Many of those that did perish lived longer than anyone could have imagined in, say, 1923.

Jim Brown, the legendary football star, who died in May, was a Manhasset native. A foursport star at Manhasset High School, Brown was an All-American at Syracuse University before beginning a Hall of Fame career with the Cleveland Browns. He was a three-time MVP for Cleveland, while leading them to an NFL championship in 1964.

A New Yorker who impacted the world scene was Henry Kissinger. One of the world’s most recognizable men, Kissinger served as National Security Advisor and Secretary of State in the administrations of Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. Détente with the Soviet Union, the opening to Mainland China, laying the groundwork for the Panama Canal Treaty and the Camp David Accords were hallmarks of Kissinger’s tireless diplomacy.

Queens County was the setting for the most popular television program of the 1970s.

Norman Lear, who died in December, was the creator of All In The Family and its lovable

protagonist, Archie Bunker. Lear’s other credits include Maude, Sanford and Son, and Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.

In 1981, Sandra Day O’Connor became the first woman to serve on the Supreme Court.

Appointed by President Ronald Reagan, O’Connor, to liberals, became a pleasant surprise, providing a liberal swing vote on decisions regarding abortion, affirmative action, and gay rights.

Also close to home, we said goodbye—and thanks—to Tony Bennett, an Astoria native and a singer beloved by four generations of Americans; Burt Young, a Port Washington resident and the irresistible “Paulie” of the Rocky franchise; and Burt Bacharach, prolific songwriter and Forest Hills native.

On the literary front, Long Island native Louise Gluck, winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize for Literature, passed away in April.

By winning the Nobel, Gluck joined such luminaries as Sinclair Lewis, Eugene O’Neil, Pearl Buck, William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, Saul Bellow, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Toni Morrison, and Bob Dylan. The prolific novelist Cormac McCarthy, author of numerous novels, including The Road, which, word-forword, might be the most intense fiction in American fiction, died in June.

From the world of entertainment, passings included Friends star Matthew Perry, who met an untimely death at 54; Harry Belafonte,

Rosalynn Carter on Metroliner train, October 1977 Photo source Wikimedia who died at age 96; plus Raquel Welch, movie actress and the brunette answer to Marilyn Monroe; and Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of The King.

New York sports fans lost many longtime favorites. Joe Christopher was a member of the 1962 Mets, baseball’s most lovable also-rans. Willis Reed was team captain of the 1969 and 1973 World Champion New York Knickerbockers; Johnny Green also starred.

On the diamond, Joe Pepitone, Brooklyn native and first baseman for the championship Yankees teams of the early 1960s,

passed away as did Ron Hodges, longtime backstop for the Mets. Other deaths included Frank Howard, the mighty slugger for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Washington Senators who also briefly managed the Mets, and Tim McCarver, former catcher for the St. Louis Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies, known for years as a voice of the Mets.

The year ended with the passing of Rosalynn Carter, the “First Lady from Plains.”

Ms. Carter’s husband of 77 years, former President Jimmy Carter, was released from hospice care to attend his wife’s funeral.

A Year Of Crime

Gilgo Beach murderer’s arrest and DWIs lead crime news

ANTON MEDIA GROUP STAFF editors@antonmediagroup.com

A

breakthrough in the Gilgo Beach case and a series of devastating DWI crashes stood out to Anton Media Group in 2023.

2429938 R

Rex Heuermann Arrested in Gilgo Beach Murders On July 13, Massapequa Park resident Rex Heuermann was arrested in the unsolved case of the Gilgo Beach murders.

The case had been unsolved since the 2010 discovery of nine human remains near Ocean Parkway.

Heuermann is charged in the first degree and second degree for the 2009 murder of 24-year-old Melissa Barthelemy, the 2010 murder of 22-year-old Megan Waterman and the 2009 murder of 27-year-old Amber Lynn Costello. While the defendant is not yet charged with any crimes related to the 2007 disappearance and murder of 25-year-old Maureen Brainard-Barnes, he is the prime suspect in her death and the investigation.

Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney explained that when he took office in January of 2022, he sought to prioritize the Gilgo investigation. The Gilgo Beach Homicide Task Force of investigators, analysts, prosecutors and law enforcement was formed, utilizing the Grand Jury for its power and reach in obtaining documents, interviewing witnesses and keeping secrecy.

The defendant pleaded not guilty and has not yet been sentenced for these crimes.

A Series of Tragic Deaths Caused by DWIs

This year was yet another wake-up call to just how serious driving while intoxicated or under the influence could be.

On May 3, Amandeep Singh allegedly drove a 2021 Dodge Ram TRX south at high speed in the northbound lanes on North Broadway in Jericho. The defendant then reportedly crashed his vehicle into an oncoming Alfa Romeo that contained four teenage passengers. Due to the force of the impact, 14-year-olds Drew Hassenbein and Ethan Falkowitz, who were seated on the right side of the Alfa Romeo, were killed instantly.

Singh allegedly fled the crash scene and was apprehended nearby by members of the Nassau County Police Department. He is facing charges including driving while ability impaired by a combined influence of alcohol and a drug and two counts of driving while intoxicated.

On Aug. 6, Michael Deangelo, 32, of Lindenhurst, was allegedly driving westbound at a high rate of speed on Sunrise Highway in Massapequa when he collided with three additional vehicles. Patrice Huntley, 60, of Flushing, and his children Jeremiah, 10, and Hannah Huntley, 13, both of Uniondale, were pronounced dead at the scene. Chantel Solomon, 6, of Uniondale. later succumbed to her injuries. Deangelo was charged with driving while ability impaired.

On Aug. 12, Sotirios Spanos, 32, of Syosset, was traveling eastbound on Northern Boulevard in the vicinity of Moores Hill Road in Laurel Hollow when he crossed over the yellow divider and collided with a Ferrari Convertible traveling westbound, killing Ismenia and Odalis Urena, both 37, of Syosset. Spanos was charged with driving while intoxicated. The Urenas are survived by two young children.

For over a decade, the Gilgo Beach murders have gone unsolved. This year saw a break in the case. (Photo by Jennifer Corr)

YEAR IN REVIEW

Local and state officials respond to war in Middle East

editors@antonmediagroup.com

n 2023, Nassau County residents observed political controversy among local and national leaders. It was a year defined by upheaval in Congress and spats between local politicians.

Here are Anton Media Group’s picks for 2023’s political highlights: Ex-Congressman George Santos Now-former NY-03 Congressman George Santos was expelled from the U.S. House of Representatives on Dec. 1, less than a year into his two-year term, with a vote of 311 in favor and 114 against. He was one of only a handful in history to do so. He faced the expulsion vote just a few weeks after the House Ethics Committee released a mostly negative 56-page report on his actions during and after the 2022 campaign.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul formally announced on Dec. 5 that a special election would be held on February 13, 2024, to fill the seat vacated by Santos, that date being within 70 to 80 days of his departure, as per U.S. law.

Critics say that signage at the Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre makes Bruce Blakeman the lead singer, so to speak. (Photo by James Rooney) Las Vegas Sands On May 22, the Nassau County Legislature voted to approve a lease contract between Las Vegas Sands and Nassau County for Sands’ use of lands surrounding the Nassau Hub for a casino and entertainment complex, pending Sands’ receipt of a casino license from the New York State Gaming Commission.

The vote, which was 17-1 in favor of approval, followed months of public campaigning for and against the new casino.

Harry Chapin Concert In August, news broke that the annual Harry Chapin tribute concert at Eisenhower Park’s Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre, postponed from July 16 due to rain, had been canceled due to conflicts between organizers, performers, and county leadership.

Before the re-scheduled concert, longtime show organizer and musician Stuart Markus and various musicians noticed that new signage in the Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre seemed to make Bruce Blakeman’s name

more the focus than Harry Chapin’s.

In a letter, Blakeman accused Markus of taking issue with his political identification rather than the signs. Legislator Arnold Drucker has also taken issue with how Blakeman has associated himself with the concert series and Legislator Joshua Lafazan chimed in, proposing a bill removing local officials’ names from unrelated public signage.

Response to the Israel-Hamas war Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman was the lead speaker at rallies showing support for Israel after the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas.

Blakeman assured county residents that all necessary precautions had been carried out, adding that all special units have been activated, including mounted police, the canine unit, aviation and emergency services, and the Bureau of Special Operations.

Since the attacks, pro-Israel and Palestine rallies have been seen across Long Island and New York City.

State and local politicians, including New York State Gov. Kathy Hochul and Sen. Charles Schumer, quickly and forcefully denounced the attack.

Politicians have also been speaking out against about a rise of antisemitism on college campuses.

‘90s Resurgence

The trends of the ‘90s made a raging comeback this year. Younger generations are drawing inspiration from “the decades”—mainly in their clothing. Even celebrities are joining in on the resurgence, which only influences the trends more.

Designer fashion brands, from Coach to Dior, are displaying these trends in their collections and fashion shows. Social media also influenced the return of the ‘90s in the younger generation, with Gen Z all over TikTok sharing their outfits, hairstyles and makeup that resembles the older decade.

Slicked back hair, eclectic eyeshadow and mesh tops are only a few returning trends that are sweeping the generation.

Low-Rise Pants From denim to cargo, low-rise pants have become exceedingly popular. Many of the low-rise cuts are featured on baggy jeans, with the trend of “mom jeans” coming back in style as well. Low-rise jeans can be styled with tanks and corsets for a variety of occasions.

Corset Tops From full length pieces to cropped bralettes, corsets have become increasingly prominent in the wardrobe of the younger generations. Lacy, strapless and satin are common designs for these tops— which are often paired with other ‘90s styles such as low-rise jeans and maxi skirts.

Platform Shoes Classic ‘90s brands such as Converse, Steve Madden and Doc Martens have new styles featuring a

Let’s Get Cozy

Fall fashion trends embraced cozy and chic styles. Oversized sweaters, earthy tones, and chunky boots defined the season’s aesthetic, while leather pieces and knitwear added an edge of sophistication.

Accessories like scarves and hats completed the look, blending warmth and elegance for a perfect autumn wardrobe.

Faux Fur Faux fur has surged as a sustainable and stylish trend, offering the luxurious look and feel of real fur without harm to animals.

In response to ethical and environmental

concerns, fashion enthusiasts increasingly opt for faux fur, fostering a compassionate and chic approach to staying warm and fashionable.

Puffer Jackets Puffer jackets have become a ubiquitous fashion trend, celebrated for their unbeatable warmth and urban appeal. With their quilted design and insulating materials, these cozy, yet trendy, garments have transcended outdoor utility to become a statement piece, reflecting a fusion of practicality and style in contemporary fashion.

Chunky Boots Chunky boots were a winter musthave, offering a perfect blend of style and practicality. Their robust soles and heavy construction provide warmth, traction, and protection from the elements. These boots exude an edgy, urban aesthetic that pairs effortlessly with winter outfits, adding a bold statement to cold-weather fashion.

Doin‛ A Science: Frozen Bubbles

Making frozen bubbles is a beautiful, fascinating experiment you can do as soon as the temperature drops below freezing. The colder it is, the more likely your bubbles will freeze. Try to find a spot that is sheltered from wind. If it’s breezy the bubbles will pop or blow away before they can freeze. IMPORTANT: this experiment is not easy. It will take exactly the right conditions to produce the frozen bubbles.

Be patient! If the first try doesn’t succeed, try again the next time the temperature drops.

Bubbles are comprised of three layers: two soapy ones with one water layer in between. It’s the water layer that freezes. This bubble solution uses corn syrup to add strength and thicken the mixture, while the sugar encourages crystal formation.

Materials: • 1 cup warm water • 2.5 tablespoons corn syrup • 2 tablespoons sugar • 2.5 tablespoons dish soap • Straws • a plastic container or bowl, preferably with a lid Add the warm water to the container. Stir the corn syrup in until the water is almost clear.

Add the sugar to the mixture and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Animal Fact!

Uakari

Uakari is the common name for the New World monkeys of the genus Cacajao. Their bodies are covered with long, loose hair but their heads are bald. They have almost no subcutaneous fat, so their bald faces appear almost skull-like. These monkeys have the most striking red facial skin of any primate.

Females choose their mates based on how red the male‛s face is. Evidence suggests that the red facial coloration reflects the health of the primate.

The four species of uakari currently recognized are all found in the north-western Amazon basin. They have been observed both in small groups and in larger troops of up to 100. When traveling through the forest they move in the lower branches of the trees, though when foraging they also go up to the canopy.

They mostly eat fruit, and unlike other fruit eaters will consume a large amount of unripe fruit with their specialized teeth.

They also eat flowers, seeds, invertebrates, Question: buds and leaves.

When the solution is ready, dip your straw into the chilled mixture. Blow gently onto something to hold the bubble; snow is perfect if you have some! Pull the straw away once the bubble is formed, before it freezes.

The Mystery Virus Is No Mystery Local veterinarian weighs in on media scare CHRISTY HINKO

I

chinko@antonmediagroup.com

f you are a pet owner or have been following mainstream media, you have likely heard of a “mystery virus” that is sweeping the nation and killing dogs. While this virus is keeping pet owners and animal care professionals vigilant, it is not new, nor a mystery, nor generating notable reported cases locally.

For several weeks, we had been attempting to speak with several veterinary professionals about the virus, but could not gain any conclusive or reportable information to share with our readers. On Dec. 5, we attended a virtual information session with Dr. Eve Pugh, DVM, CVA, CCRP, an emergency room veterinarian at Veterinary Emergency Group and her husband Jeris Pugh, owner of Martial Arfs dog training and fitness facility, both in Carle Place to learn about this “mystery virus” and how to best protect our dogs from it.

“We have all been hearing a lot in the media as it relates to a ‘new dog disease’ that has been spreading through different states,” Jeris Pugh said. “As owner of the Martial Arfs, we have a lot of clients who are concerned; I thought it would be best if we brought in a professional to speak to everybody about what she knows and what she’s been experiencing.”

Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex (CIRDC), commonly known as kennel cough, is a contagious respiratory infection affecting dogs. It is characterized by a group of viral and bacterial agents that cause inflammation in the upper respiratory tract. While often not life-threatening, CIRDC can lead to discomfort, persistent coughing, and a compromised immune system.

Dr. Eve Pugh, a 25-year veterinarian, has been following the medical updates and the published research, including reports

published by J. Scott Weese, a professor at the Ontario Veterinary College and a microbiologist at the University of Guelph, whose research includes microbiome assessment, antimicrobial resistance and infection control.

“Weese said CIRDC has come to the forefront in the news right now, but it is a background disease; it’s there all the time,” Dr. Pugh said. “In my own research, I found information from 2010 talking about this, so this is not new.”

She added Weese has reported that CIRDC is being tracked, but they have not identified any new pathogens; it is still the same old pathogens.

Transmission The disease is contagious and spreads through respiratory secretions from infected dogs. This can occur through direct contact, such as sniffing or licking, or through exposure to contaminated surfaces like water bowls, toys, and shared spaces in kennels or dog parks. Airborne transmission is possible, making CIRDC a concern in places with a high concentration of dogs.

“The incubation period is usually two to three days; [the dog gets the virus], but they do not show signs for two to three days, but it can be up to four to five weeks depending on the type of which pathogen we’re talking about,” Dr. Pugh said. “It’s usually self limiting, meaning a lot of the dogs don’t need any treatment at all.”

Symptoms The clinical signs of CIRDC closely

resemble those of a common cold in humans.

Dogs with kennel cough typically exhibit a persistent dry, hacking cough, sometimes accompanied by a nasal discharge. Other symptoms may include sneezing, lethargy, reduced appetite, and in severe cases, fever.

While most cases are mild, complications can arise, especially in puppies, elderly dogs, or those with weakened immune systems.

Diagnosis Veterinarians diagnose CIRDC based on clinical signs, history of recent exposure to other dogs, and sometimes through laboratory tests. Nasal and throat

swabs may be collected to identify specific pathogens.

The diagnosis is made based on clinical presentation and history.

“I work in a very busy [veterinary emergency room] in the middle of Nassau County; I can tell you that in the past six months, I have not seen any increase, zero increase in respiratory diseases coming through the door,

or severe respiratory diseases going through the door,” Dr. Pugh said. “That’s not exact science, but I would say that I’m probably on the pulse of this situation in terms of if the numbers were going up, I would see them walking through the door.”

Pugh said her veterinary group is erring on the side of caution, being vigilant and stocking up on supplies that might be necessary, should an outbreak occur.

Treatment Treatment for kennel cough focuses on managing symptoms. Antibiotics may be prescribed if a bacterial component is suspected, targeting agents like Bordetella.

Cough suppressants and anti-inflammatory medications can provide relief. Rest and isolation from other dogs are crucial to prevent spread. In severe cases, hospitalization may be required.

Prevention Vaccination is a key preventive measure against CIRDC. The kennel cough vaccine often includes protection against Bordetella bronchiseptica and other viral components. Regular boosters are recommended for dogs in high-risk environments, such as boarding facilities or dog shows. Good hygiene practices, such as regular cleaning of shared spaces and equipment, also help minimize the risk of transmission.

Dr. Pugh suggested that pet parents always stay vigilant and use reputable and accredited sources to learn about any disease or illness, such as American Veterinary Medical Association (www.avma.org) or the New York State Veterinary Medical Society (www. nysvms.org) to stay informed, including your own pet’s veterinary professional.

A Home Run For Massapequa Ball Player Paul Dulanto (Photos courtesy of Paul

Dulanto)

LAUREN FELDMAN

Lfeldman@antonmediagroup.com

I

t was an amazing year for Paul Dulanto of Massapequa High School. The senior has committed to play baseball with Stony Brook University.

Dulanto started playing baseball seemingly from infancy. “I’ve been playing baseball my whole life, ever since I was a kid. I knew that was going to be... if I was going to play a

college sport, that (baseball) would be it...

Baseball was just the sport I knew I wanted to go to the next level with.”

What made Dulanto fall in love with baseball? According to the senior, “The excitement, the thrill of succeeding. And even when you fail, being able to come back from those failures and succeed next time. Also, the bonds I’ve created throughout all my traveling. I met so many people I would never have been able to meet without it, and they’re bonds that I’ll keep for a lifetime.”

Dulanto has also spent the last three years playing for Massapequa High’s football team, as their quarterback. While baseball was Dulanto’s first love, his ability to play football was never guaranteed.

“I’ve always wanted to play, but when I was born I had heart surgery, so in the early years of my life, it was recommended I not play. But my father actually played for Massapequa football, so I’d aways ask to play. And then we spoke to the doctor and they finally cleared me for it.”

Dulanto was on both teams when they won their respective Long Island Championships. He fondly recalls the football before-game meetups to prepare and get excited, and the after-game tailgates to celebrate their victories. “You play a long game, you’re shot, you’re tired, you’re hungry, and [the parents] have everything waiting for you. It was the best.” For baseball, Dulanto would talk through strategies with his pitcher and mentally lock himself in for the game.

While he has loved his time with the football team, Dulanto is excited for this next chapter

with Stony Brook baseball, especially being able to challenge himself on a whole new level. “The competition is getting even better. Everyone is good at that level, being Division-1, so you’re going to get everyone’s best,” he explained. “You’re not really going to get any off-days, every day is going to be a challenge. But that only makes you better.

The senior has learned countless lessons from his lifelong commitment to sports. “The main one for me is how to work hard and overcome adversity,” he said. “The dreams and goals you have within your sport aren’t going to happen overnight. You have to work hard for them. And you can’t just work hard for one day, you have to work hard over a long period of time.”

Congratulations to Paul, and good luck!

Dulanto also enjoyed his time playing on the football team.

Congratulations, Paul Dulanto, you’re a top student-athlete!

The State Of Real Estate

impact real estate. If there have been notable improvements or changes in Long Island’s infrastructure, such as transportation or amenities, it could influence property values and desirability.

The state of real estate on Long Island in New York is likely influenced by a combination of factors, including the aftermath of the pandemic, housing preferences, economic conditions, and local developments. For the most accurate and recent information, consider reaching out to local real estate experts who can offer insights tailored to the current market dynamics.

ANTON MEDIA GROUP STAFF editors@antonmediagroup.com

eal estate markets are influenced by economic conditions, including interest rates and employment. Housing supply and demand, government policies, and market sentiment play vital roles. Demographic trends, local economic factors, and global events impact property values. Technological advancements, sustainability, credit availability, and health crises further shape the ever-changing real estate landscape. Here are some of the issues that have been noted across Long Island this year.

OneKey MLS Long Island

Pre-pandemic Trends

Before the pandemic, Long Island had experienced a stable and competitive real estate market. The region is known for its diverse housing options, from suburban neighborhoods to coastal communities, catering to a range of preferences.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly influenced real estate trends globally, and Long Island is no exception. The shift towards remote work has altered housing priorities, with many individuals seeking more spacious homes, home offices, and properties with outdoor amenities.

Remote Work and Housing Preferences

The rise of remote work has led

to increased demand for homes that accommodate a flexible lifestyle. Long Island, with its proximity to New York City and relatively more suburban setting, has become an attractive option for those looking to escape the urban environment while still having access to the city.

Interest Rates

Inventory and Prices

Government Policies and Economic Factors

One key factor influencing the real estate market is housing inventory. A limited supply of homes, coupled with high demand, can lead to increased property prices. This scenario has been observed in various parts of the country, including suburban areas.

Mortgage interest rates play a significant role in the real estate market. Lower interest rates can encourage homebuying and potentially drive demand.

Conversely, rising interest rates may impact affordability and slow down the market.

Government policies and economic conditions can also shape the real estate landscape.

Stimulus packages, unemployment rates, and broader economic stability can influence individuals’ confidence in making

significant financial decisions, such as buying or selling a home.

Trends in Property Types

The types of properties in demand can shift based on market conditions. For example, during the pandemic, there has been a noticeable interest in suburban and rural properties compared to urban apartments. Long Island’s mix of suburban and coastal properties may have seen varying trends in different areas.

Local Developments and Infrastructure

Investments in local infrastructure and developments can

Nassau County reported a residential closed median sale price of $735,000 in September 2023, an increase of 5.20 percent from $699,000, reported in September 2022. There were 912 closed residential sales transactions and 848 pending transactions reported in September 2023, following 1,208 closed and 1,020 pending transactions reported the month prior.

The OneKey MLS Regional Area reported a closed median sale price of $630,000 in September 2023, representing an increase of five percent as compared to the reported $600,000 in September 2022.

Across the regional coverage area, there were 4,245 closed residential transactions and 4,240 pending transactions, following the 5,344 closed and 4,775 pending transactions reported the month prior.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). We live with imperfect things more happily when they are about the same amount of imperfection as the neighbor seems to be dealing with. Perhaps you’d be better off without the emotional rigamarole that comes with sizing up the competition, but this week, it would be silly to fight the urge. Everyone compares. Just try not to spend much time on it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Welcome diverse opinions, approaches and styles.

People are not going to do things the way you expect or prefer this week, and that’s the beauty of it. The healing of society hinges on people who can listen to one another without the intent to persuade or emerge as victors.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s no way to simulate a social life. No theoretical knowledge could ever duplicate its unpredictable course. The education you get from talking to people and getting to know them through real-time social interactions will be an invaluable key to your thriving, so say “yes” to the invites.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The plans don’t matter as much as feeling good about them. Your well-being will be enhanced by a relaxed approach. Keep reminding yourself that not all progress comes from work. A magical unfolding will be a hands-off, natural progression moved along by hundreds of tiny decisions and outcomes of your day-to-day life of best intentions.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Compliments pepper your week, but these bright reminders of your wonderful qualities will only power you to the extent you believe them. That caveat is what makes complimenting you so tricky. Only those who tend to specifics will get it right. You’ll also love the challenge of giving others accolades that land.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). This week encourages you to develop strategies to help you manage and work through emotions effectively. You don’t expect the world to be forthcoming with trigger warnings. Instead, you’ll spend as much time in safe spaces as possible; you’ll navigate toward the light, and you’ll create boundaries to protect your feelings.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Know where you’re going logistically, strategically, physically, but don’t plot your point spiritually. What you seek is not a place, nor is it a feeling or even a state of being. It’s acceptance. What you seek is to lose your need of seeking. You’ll be visited by an expansive peace this week.

Let it in.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The pretty picture of nostalgia is inaccurate, clinging to only the good parts of the past. Future fantasies are equally unhelpful because the ideal scenario for that time is impossible to know in this one. Dig your heels into reality. Delight happens when you commit deeply to loving, tolerating or working with all that is.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Don’t try to do too many new things at a time.

Choose one small improvement to work on. It is through a small but daily practice that you’ll be able to give your future self a gift -- something you’ve always wanted. You’ll create a habit that gives you energy because you don’t have to use your precious and limited daily reserves of willpower on it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Among the blessings of the week is the affirming feeling of being around someone who totally gets you. This person could possibly be a stranger. Sometimes, those who have the least information can be the most open to the immediate experience of each other, what we’re feeling and what we need.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You’ll act on strong intuition with stellar results. When you see what you want, you’ll recognize it immediately, grab on and hold tight. Family, work and love will all mix together in one beautiful recipe for your emotional nutrition and thriving. More highlights: A fine teacher will help you go to the bank with what you learn. You’ll also become an expert at giving direction and instruction in certain areas. Let others know how you like to be helped and, while they’re at it, delighted.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be reminded how attractions are highly subjective.

Some connections are made because you put yourself out there and try, and others because you don’t. Making space for others to come to you is anything but passive. You’ll put your energy into observing and understanding others with as much openness as possible.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Though brevity is the soul of wit, it can also be the cause of misunderstanding. This week, it’s more important to be thorough than witty. Be a generous and abundant communicator. Double back to check if what you’ve said has been understood. Don’t be afraid to reiterate. Excellent communication will win you hearts, minds and money.

Both sides vulnerable.

Accurate slam bidding is one of the most reliable ways of evaluating the skill of a partnership.

Consider this deal from a regional team event some years ago. At the first table, the bidding went as shown.

South’s two-club opening was artificial and indicated either a gamegoing hand in a suit or a balanced hand with 22 to 24 high-card points.

North’s two-diamond response was also artificial and promised at least eight high-card points.

Two notrump identified the balanced type of hand, and four notrump asked South to name his four-card suits in ascending order.

Accordingly, South bid five diamonds and then five spades, identifying both of his four-card suits.

Five notrump asked South to choose the final contract, and South chose six notrump, making seven when the diamond finesse succeeded.

At the second table, the bidding was exceptionally short and sweet: North South Pass 1♣ 2♥ 5 NT 7♥ Pass South’s one-club bid was artificial and showed at least 17 high-card points and almost any distribution.

Two hearts by North indicated at least five hearts and not less than nine high-card points.

South thereupon invoked the Grand Slam Force convention by leaping to five notrump, asking North to bid seven hearts if he had two of the top three heart honors.

North duly obliged, and seven hearts was easily made without the need for a finesse by simply ruffing a club in dummy.

‘Dalers Make Big Committment

High school seniors continue their athletic careers

T

he signing ceremony was a proud moment for the student-athletes and their families and the Farmingdale School District. It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of these young ‘Dalers and the support and guidance their families, coaches and teachers provided.

Farmingdale School District recognizes sport’s vital role in developing well-rounded students. In addition to providing opportunities for students to participate in a wide

range of sports, the district encourages student-athletes to strive for success both on and off the field.

As these 14 seniors prepare to embark on their collegiate athletic careers, they carry the lessons they have learned as part of the Farmingdale athletic program. They will undoubtedly make their mark on college sports, and we wish them all the best.

ne of the best parts of the holiday season is gathering in the living room with family and friends, enjoying some festive treats and putting on a holiday movie.

We’ve all seen the classics, like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Home Alone. And while it’s always fun to rewatch them, trying something new is also great.

Every year, streaming services like Netflix and Prime Video release movies just in time for the holidays. This year, Best.

the baby and the family dog, wake up the following day, switching bodies. In the end, they get a better understanding of one another and become much closer. While it’s marketed as a holiday movie, it’s a movie that can be watched any time of year, as the fact that it’s the holidays is only a background theme of the film.

Some of the script and jokes are cheesy and unbelievable, but there are a lot of funny moments.

Candy Cane Lane: Starring Eddie Murphy, Tracee Ellis Ross and Jillian Bell, Amazon Prime’s new holiday film, Lane follows Chris Candy Cane Lane, Carver, played by Eddie Murphy, on his journey to win the

neighborhood’s annual Christmas decorating contest. His determination to win the grand prize leads him to make a pact with an elf. The elf casts a spell that brings to life the 12 days of Christmas, and now the Carver family has to wrangle in three French hens, six geese a-laying and more before time is up. This new holiday movie brings to life the classic Christmas song, “The 12 Days of Christmas,” in an exciting way as the family has to face their own conflicts and re-learn how to work together as a family. The movie is full of holiday comedy and is an all-around cheery film for the whole family to enjoy. Famous a cappella pop group Pentatonix is featured in the film, adding a dash of classic holiday music.
