TOP STORY

Looking Back, Moving Forward East Williston Station has its own storied history

JANET BURNS jburns@antonmediagroup.com

T

ravelling eastbound on the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), the first station you’ll encounter on the Oyster Bay Branch is East Williston Station, located at Hillside Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue.

It’s a relatively small outpost, with a ticket machine, two platforms, and a sheltered area of benches for waiting passengers.

Many local residents remember the station in its former glory, and several nods to that history remain in place, such as a plaque depicting the original building and shelter support columns made from some of the original bricks.

The station first opened for passengers in the mid-to-late 1880s, and likely served as a freight stop a few years before that.

According to an article by Eleanor Zatlin on the Incorporated Village of East Williston website, the LIRR branch from Mineola to Glen Head was first built in 1864, and the Beers, Comstock and Cline Map of 1873 showed no stations between Mineola and Roslyn.

“In the opinion of [historian] Mr. Vincent F. Seyfried,” Zatlin wrote, “the station was built about 1887, or later, when other brick stations were built on the Oyster Bay Branch.”

The two-story brick station (and, briefly, a wooden extension) would remain on that site for more than a century, featuring in any number of paintings and photos of East Williston throughout the years.

In the 1960s, the LIRR reportedly considered closing both East Williston Station and Albertson Station and combining them into a third station halfway between. By this time, the canopies at East Williston were showing wear and tear, and starting to sag a bit. After strong community opposition to LIRR’s proposal, the stations remained intact, and in the mid-60s East Williston’s canopies were restored.

Nevertheless, the historic station building would finally end up being shuttered and then demolished around the turn of the millenium.

On December 10, 1996, the station house at East Williston Station closed down permanently. Retired LIRR branch line manager and railroad historian Dave Morrison was on hand for the occasion,

Today, East Williston Station is more streamlined than in earlier decades.

where he bought the last-ever ticket issued at East Williston Station from LIRR ticket clerk Debbie Pierce. By email, Morrison also pointed out that East Williston station has the “dubious distinction” of having had the last staffed ticket office on the Oyster Bay Branch.

In 2003, the station house itself was boarded up as the East Williston stop remained in service for passengers, as it does to this day. In 2004, after New York State’s Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic The last Preservation ticket sold at the gave approval, East Williston ticket office. the East Williston (Photo by Dave Station building was Morrison) demolished.

Before it was demolished, the station house at East Williston Station was the third-oldest train station on Long Island.

Today, the station remains nestled between stores and homes in East Williston along with colorful planters, classic four-sided railroad clocks, and an entire village’s worth of memories.

Girl Scouts Upgrade Floral Park Flag Display For Silver Award Project Girl Scouts of Nassau County Troop 1239 in Floral Park recently implemented Floral Park’s first solar-powered flag light to help the American flag fly at full mast at the Floral Park Library every night, year-round. The initiative was part of the troop’s 2023 Girl Scouts Silver Award project and was culminated with the completion of their Clean Energy and Sustainability patch, sponsored by National Grid’s Project C patch program.

National Grid recently made an $88,500 contribution to the Girl Scouts of Nassau County to help advance the organization’s STEM programs and help educate girls about energy efficiency and generating power from clean, sustainable sources. The Project C patch program featured a series of activities for Girl Scouts that promoted environmental advocacy, social justice, workforce development and community engagement. Girl Scouts also learned how they could conserve energy in their homes and prioritize clean energy, like solar power, in their communities.

The United States Federal Flag Code calls for displaying the flag only from sunrise to sunset, unless it is illuminated in darkness.

Thanks to the Girl Scouts’ ingenuity, the Floral Park Public Library can fly its flag through the night at no added cost.

Long Island Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Celebrates 50 Years We have reached a significant milestone!

As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we must take a moment to express our heartfelt appreciation to our founding partners Dr. Leonard Hoffman and Dr. Ralph Cangiano, who had the foresight and dedication to establish a practice that has become a cornerstone of oral surgery excellence in our community. Their unwavering commitment to excellent and patient-centric care has shaped the very foundation of our practice. Along with Dr. Victor Nannini, who joined the practice less than a decade later, their expertise, leadership and passion have inspired us all, and their legacy continues to drive us forward.

Dr. Alex Meneshian, Dr. Scott Fauvell, and Dr. James Choi are poised to usher in a new era of oral surgical innovation, with their fresh perspectives and unwavering commitment, and to ensure that our legacy of excellence continues.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR MICHAEL DORE: GOOD DEEDS…INDEED! Early in 2022, the Nassau County American Legion Auxiliary, through their Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation Committee, conducted an “Adopt a Unit” Project for the residents of the Psych Unit at Northport VA Hospital where the American Legion Auxiliary members made sure that neither their birthday, nor holidays, would go unnoticed. The members of this unit rarely, if ever get visitors. It was at this time that I approached the members of my local Lakeville Estates Civic Association asking if they would join the card-writing campaign. I provided them with each veteran’s birthday, wherein several members came forward writing personalized cards for the veterans, which were coupled with gifts provided by the American Legion Auxiliary for each and every one of them.

This act of kindness was well received by the civic association, but it surely had a ripple effect on Michael Dore, who not only participated in the card-writing campaign along with his family, but he wanted to do

even more for our veterans.

With that in mind, I suggested that Michael reach out directly to Northport VA Hospital to see what the veterans would want, as he really wanted to bring them joy. The VA Hospital provided Michael with a “Wish List” and Michael got busy. Out of his own allowance, he purchased gym pants for the men and women veterans, T-shirts, flip-flops, pajamas for men and women, toothbrushes, underwear, scarves, caps, hoodies, shoes, sneakers, jackets, hair accessories, shampoo, body wash, hand wash liquids, Dunkin’ Donuts coffee pods, plastic hangers, some decorations, x-lights, Easter, St. Patrick’s Day and 4th of July magazines. In addition, he wrote out 60 ‘Thank You’ cards for the veterans for Memorial Day. As mentioned previously, these items were all purchased with Michael’s own money, part of which he earned over Christmas selling Christmas trees at the Lion’s Club, and from tips that he received.

Michael, who is presently completing 11th grade at New Hyde Park Memorial High School, headed out to Northport VA Hospital the last week in May, along with his parents, to deliver the goodies for the veterans, as he wanted so much to do something special for our brave men and women, and felt that this “small” donation, as he calls it, would be a way to thank them for their service.

I would be remiss if I failed to mention that Michael accomplished all of this while simultaneously working on his Boy Scout Troop 298 Eagle Scout Project where he recently built an additional three exercise stations at Memorial Park in New Hyde Park for adults as well as for seniors.

Kudos to you, Michael Dore, for your caring heart and for making 60 veterans at Northport VA Hospital very happy by your kindness, time and generous spirit.

Not A Fit Roadway For Bike Or Feet

Long Island’s roads among the most dangerous for non-vehicular traffic AMANDA OLSEN aolsen@antonmediagroup.com

L

ong Island’s system of roads is often unsafe for both pedestrians and cyclists. There were 738 total accidents involving pedestrians and 356 involving cyclists in Nassau County in 2021, the most recent data available on the Institute for Traffic Safety, Management, and Research website. As development has advanced, infrastructure was engineered around the automobile and not other forms of transportation, creating a network of dangerous roadways that force walkers and cyclists into dangerous spaces.

According to national and state data, the Long Island region has one of the highest rates of pedestrian injury/fatality in the state with many roads deemed “death corridors.” Teens and young adults are among the more vulnerable demographics when it comes to pedestrian/traffic safety.

A recent NYCTS survey found that speeding cars, lack of sidewalks and marked bicycle lanes instilled the greatest fear among Long Islanders surveyed. These local findings correlate to much larger studies conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Governors Traffic Safety Committee.

These surveys all point to the same reasons for road users’ unease.

Cindy Brown, executive director of the New York Coalition for Transportation Safety, stressed a three pronged approach to combatting these types of accidents. “It’s engineering, education and enforcement that keeps the roads safe. Better roadway design that forces cars to slow down and, of course, arming pedestrians and cyclists with knowledge about laws designed to keep them safe are just some of the tactics safety advocates employ,” said Brown. “It is a multi-faceted problem and requires a multi-faceted approach.”

For the engineering component, it can be challenging to adapt existing infrastructure towards a more pedestrian/cyclist friendly arrangement. Crossing multi-lane roads is a challenge, especially for handicapped or elderly people. One way of accommodating people is adding a median with enough space to allow them to take the crossing in stages. Installing signals that show how many seconds remain to cross safely helps people to plan. Flashing signs and lights embedded around crosswalks prevent drivers from being surprised by pedestrians.

Another change is a practice dubbed “daylighting”, which as Janine Logan of the

(Photo by Long Island Health Collaborative) Long Island Health Collaborative describes it, is where “you take out a parking space that would go closest to the to the corner, at the end of the road. There is some striping and stanchions, that avoids a car being parked there and obstructing any views of a person who’s riding a bike or walking.”

There is also something called a “road diet”, where the size of roads is reduced to slow traffic in more populated areas. Logan stated, “the smaller the narrower the lanes and the fewer lanes you have, there is documentation that drivers drive slower because there’s not this expanse(of roadway) .”

A key factor in reducing injuries is to raise awareness about the dangers of unsafe roads and unsafe pedestrian/ motorist behavior through New York State

law-based education. Brown often goes to speak to groups about how to help people walk or bike more safely in their communities. She suggests making the same sort of alert choices you should be making while driving. “You’ve heard of defensive driving. Well, we do defensive walking and bicycling… where can you cross in a crosswalk, where do you ride your bike?

How much time do you have to get across the street? What does the law allow? Do the cars stop for you? What kind of a risk would you take if you were going? Is the route safe to walk? Can you see when you have to walk home after dark?” Making both drivers and pedestrians aware of how to proceed safely makes travel safer for everyone.

Speeding is especially problematic.

Government statistics show that for more than two decades, speeding has been involved in approximately one-third of all motor vehicle fatalities, and in 2020 was a contributing factor in crashes that resulted in 11,258 fatalities. The best ways to combat this are enforcement from local authorities and cameras. “Speed cameras do slow down traffic at known intersections where there were a lot of crashes,” said Brown.

While about 60 percent of the survey respondents said overall they felt safe walking in their neighborhoods, 100 percent said they would feel even safer due to the knowledge gained during the educational program that highlighted New York State pedestrian/bicycle laws. They also noted that roadway design factors, such as marked crosswalks, crossing signals, and protected and marked bicycle lanes, would make them feel safer.

It’s important for the public to see traffic accidents as a problem that can be solved rather than a part of life to simply be accepted. Federal funding is available for communities that apply in order to make the necessary changes. According to Brown, “traffic fatalities are almost taken for granted. That’s why we’ve referred to it as an epidemic because it really is an epidemic. If it was a disease, we throw things at it to try to wipe it out. At the federal level, they really have recognized how difficult this is. A lot more money is now coming down and it’s going to be made available to local communities that apply for it.”

n a significant show of support for the LGBTQIA+ community and their artistic endeavors, TD Bank has generously donated $25,000 to the Art League of Long Island (ALLI). The funds will be directed towards the expansion of ALLI’s Queer Art Initiatives, aimed at promoting equal rights, inclusion, and creative expression within the visual art community. The LGBTQIA+ community has long been at the forefront of the fight for equality, and ALLI is proud to celebrate and champion queer artists and artwork. By fostering a safe and inclusive space, ALLI aims to uplift and embrace the LGBTQIA+ community in their artistic journey. TD Bank will make a formal announcement of the donation at the reception for our recent Queer Art Workshops on June 22nd at 6:30 p.m. All are welcome to attend.

As part of the Queer Art Initiatives, ALLI recently organized a series of three workshops, conducted by queer artist Liv Cocozza, exploring LGBTQIA+ art and literature from the past to the future. These workshops culminate with an exhibition of the artworks created during the program, which will be on display in the Art League’s Strolling Gallery from June 17 to July 29.

The artist received support through a grant from the Huntington Arts Council, while ALLI provided various in-kind services such as marketing, web hosting, facilities, exhibition supplies, and preparator fees.

To commemorate the participants’

achievements and celebrate their artwork, an exhibition reception will be held on June 22. TD Bank will make a formal announcement of its support at this reception. This event will bring together the instructor, participants, and the wider ALLI community to engage in conversations with the artists and instructor, and to appreciate the creative expressions on display.

The impact of TD Bank’s generous funding is immense. It empowers queer youth from Long Island, Brooklyn, and Queens by providing them with a safe space to create art, collaborate with professional artists and mentors, receive unencumbered support from the artistic community, and exhibit their artwork in a professional setting. While there are numerous nonprofit organizations providing social services to the queer community, there are none on Long Island that provide this type of safe and supportive artistic outlet and expression. By providing an opportunity to celebrate this community, the ALLI will poise itself as the leading artistic center on Long Island, raising awareness of LGBTQIA+ issues, fostering community support, and encouraging acceptance through various artistic outlets.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S REPORT

DA Donnelly Announces $55,000 Grant Funding For Summer DWI Enforcement

N

assau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly, Freeport Police Department Chief of Police Michael Smith, and Long Beach Police Department Commissioner Ronald J. Walsh, Jr., announced today $55,000 in grants provided

by NCDA that will fund enhanced DWI enforcement through the summer.

“Long Island is a summer destination.

We have great beaches and nightlife, but unfortunately, we also have drunk drivers. These grants will allow the Freeport and Long Beach Police Departments to enhance their DWI patrols during this busy holiday season, taking proactive steps to combat drunk or drugged driving and save lives,” said DA Donnelly. “To those heading out to celebrate the unofficial start of summer, remember it’s just not worth it to drink and drive. If you do, you’ll be arrested and prosecuted. You will also endanger the lives of countless people in our communities.

Take a rideshare or grab a cab and always think before you drink.”

“I thank District Attorney Donnelly for her assistance in providing funding for

enhanced DWI patrols throughout the Village of Freeport during the summer months,” said Freeport Chief of Police Michael Smith. “These additional officers on patrol will be assigned to enforce DWI related offenses at strategic times and locations.

Additionally, the increased visibility of police officers should serve as a deterrent to those motorists who would consider getting behind the wheel of a car after consuming alcohol.”

“In law enforcement, we often refer to the time between Memorial Day and Labor Day as the 100 deadliest days of the year,” said Long Beach Police Commissioner Ronald J. Walsh, Jr. “We have already made 20 DWI arrests this year.

These stepped-up patrols help us keep our

residents and visitors safe. We cannot thank District Attorney Donnelly enough for her support. It is truly saving lives.”

From 2021 to 2022, the Freeport Police Department doubled the number of arrests made for people driving under the influence. The Department made 60 DWI arrests in 2022.

As the COVID-19 pandemic eased, the department has seen an increase in offenses as drivers returned to work and to their pre-pandemic lifestyles.

In Freeport, on March 1, 2023, a 24-year-old pedestrian was tragically killed on Babylon Turnpike by an individual who was allegedly driving while more than twice the legal limit for alcohol.

Over the past eight years, the Long Beach Police Department has made 976 DWI

arrests, including 262 drug-related DWI arrests.

The grants, fully funded by criminal asset forfeiture funds provided by NCDA, will be used to fund dedicated manpower to combat DWI during the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day, which are some of the deadliest days on Nassau County’s roads.

The stepped-up enforcement efforts will be staffed entirely by officers who are specially trained in field sobriety tests, breath analysis, and drug recognition.

Roving patrols will focus on strategic times, including weekends and holidays, and locations, including bars, waterfront areas, and outdoor restaurants, where DWIs are most likely to take place.

In addition to pulling over drivers suspected of drunk or drugged driving, police will also be observing patrons leaving these establishments for signs of possible impairment and warning them of the consequences of drunk driving or boating.

Guard Your Tongue!

When Abraham Lincoln ran for Congress in 1848, he first listened to his opponent, Stephen A. Douglas, who, as the keynote speaker, spoke for nearly 90 minutes. Then it was Lincoln’s turn.

He spoke for only one minute, saying simply: “Until now I always suspected that my opponent was a fool. Now, he has confirmed that beyond doubt.” With that, he sat down. Rather than engage with this man to his own detriment, Lincoln opted for silence, thereby preserving his dignity and limiting his capacity for negative speech.

These days, we focus so much on improving our appearance – on camouflaging, correcting, or enhancing our bodies. While the Jewish way of life encourages health and self-preservation, our efforts to beautify ourselves should go beyond the physical. After all, it’s what goes on inside of us – the thoughts and attitudes that predict our future speech and behavior – that really matters.

For a bit of spiritual perspective, let’s revisit biblical times and examine how inner character work was encouraged then. In the Torah it is written that a person who has contracted the skin condition tzara’at -- loosely translated as “leprosy, -- is considered “impure” and should be sent to live outside of the main camp until the kohen,

RABBI MOSHE WEISBLUM priest, declares him “pure” again. The ancient sages link the contracting of tzara’at to lashon ha-ra – the dissemination of evil speech – because the prophetess Miriam was stricken with leprosy after she spoke ill of her brother, Moses. And indeed many of the people affected with tzara’at during biblical times had spoken badly of others.

While in isolation, the afflicted person was ordered to examine his behavior, because the tzara’at that presented itself upon a person’s body back then, was a symptom of something deeper – the Creator’s way of alerting someone that inner work needed to be done. Often, the area that needed to be rectified had to do with the words that

came off that person’s tongue. So, in particular, he was expected to examine his speech and work to eliminate the practice of speaking lashon ha-ra, damaging speech, about another person. This push towards self-improved was always felt to be worthwhile – because once the individual in question did the work necessary to correct his speech, his tzara’at would disappear. The kohen would then declare him ready to immerse in the purifying waters of the mikveh, ritual bath, and rejoin the community.

A modern-day reader may find this phenomena hard to relate to. But all of the episodes in the Torah are timeless. So, how might we apply the leprosy narrative to our own lives? Our skin is the permeable barrier between our internal organs and external flesh – our inside and outside, if you will. It represents our boundaries, our choices about what to let in and what to let out. The faculty of speech is the channel through which we bring our inner thoughts into the outside world.

Consciously choosing to use positive speech has a beneficial effect on human beings and

enhances interpersonal relationships. Our great rabbis have said that adherence to proper speech is the single most important factor in determining our portion in the World to Come. It also empowers our prayer, validates our Torah learning, and invokes blessings and divine protection.

The preventative against speaking lashon ha-ra is to spend time improving ourselves on the inside, diligently working to correct our thoughts, speech, and actions. By exercising self-control, we can achieve a spiritual transformation—an inner makeover that will reflect outward, through our skin and our entire being. When we sincerely work to eradicate our faults, we become liberated from our bad habits and self-imposed limitations. We can then look outside of ourselves, connecting more deeply with our families, friends, and communities. And before we know it, our obsession with external appearance will be a thing of the past. Instead of being scrupulous about what we put into our mouths, we’ll find ourselves being vigilant about what comes out of our mouths! May our internal efforts to improve merit us seeing miraculous transformations in our own lives and may the world shine with beauty, truth, and lasting peace as a result.

Opponents of this measure have created bad-faith narratives placing a negative spin on its intention. Those opposed to the passage of Clean Slate seem to seek perpetual punishment for individuals who have been incarcerated. What hard data proves is that perpetual punishment leads to sky-high recidivism rates, astronomical risks of poverty, homelessness and a culture that prioritizes prisons over people.

Recidivism rates decrease dramatically when people have the opportunity to work and can access stable housing and support.

In fact, New Hour members have a recidivism rate of 2 percent, opposed to the Long Island-wide 65 percent rate of recidivism. Denying housing and employment to those who have taken accountability for their actions and have finished serving their time doesn’t make our community stronger, it makes us weaker.

The Case For Clean Slate are habitually denied housing and employment as a result of incarceration. The Clean Slate Act will allow the over 9,000 Long Island women New Hour has helped since our creation in 2015, to build their financial stability for themselves and their families. This bill was carefully crafted by lawmakers, domestic violence survivors and advocates like myself. While most convictions will be sealed, all sex offenses, A1 and A2 felonies will remain unsealed. These records will remain accessible to the courts, law enforcement agencies, the New York State Department of Education, the Department of Motor Vehicles, all private transportation companies and any employers that work with vulnerable populations such as children.

This bill will allow formerly incarcerated parents and community members the opportunity to secure gainful employment, while still balancing public safety.

As this past legislative session drew to a close the long-awaited Clean Slate Act passed in both the Senate and Assembly in New York State. The bill, expected to be signed into law by Governor Hochul, will automatically seal most felony convictions eight years after the completion of a sentence and three years after the completion of a misdemeanor conviction.

As the executive director of New Hour for Women and Children, a non-profit dedicated to empowering justice-impacted women and their children, we worked hard to advocate for the passage of this act. The Clean Slate Act is a common-sense reform which will positively impact women and children and most importantly, will allow for more than 2.3 million people nationwide a fair chance to join our growing economy.

If those opposed to the Clean Slate Act are worried about its effect, they should aim their efforts to support reentry programs like ours here at New Hour. The focus of the criminal justice system should always be with an eye towards reentry and rehabilitation, not retribution. We are grateful for the leadership of Long Island lawmakers who spoke up to urge passage of the Clean Slate Act. And we’ll continue to do our part to support justice-impacted women, mothers and children as they build a brighter, better future together.

Bring Them Home The recovery efforts for prisoners of war (POWs) and missing in action (MIA) personnel by the United States government have undergone significant developments. These efforts reflect the commitment to bring closure to families and honor the sacrifice of those who have served in the Armed Forces.

While the recovery process is complex and challenging, the U.S. government remains dedicated to accounting for and repatriating its missing personnel.

The United States government operates several agencies and organizations that are primarily responsible for POW/ MIA recovery efforts. The Defense POW/ MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) is at the forefront of these endeavors. Established in 2015, the DPAA consolidates and centralizes the efforts of several agencies, including the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC) and the Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office (DPMO).

One of the primary objectives of the DPAA is the investigation, recovery, identification, and return of the remains of missing personnel from past conflicts. This includes World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, and other conflicts.

Advancements in technology and scientific techniques have significantly aided the recovery efforts. Forensic anthropology and DNA analysis have become powerful tools in the identification process.

n the 60-plus years that George Benson has been a professional musician, the Montreal International Jazz Festival has always held a special place in his heart dating back to the event’s humble origins in 1980.

“I’ll be seeing musicians I haven’t seen in a long time because they’re coming from all over the world,” he said. “I’ve seen it grow from a nice event to an enormous event. One of my favorite photos is one of myself and Paco De Lucia and John McLaughlin. I love playing there very much.”

Having just turned 80 back in March, Benson shows no signs of slowing down.

With 10 Grammys to his name starting back in 1977 with a trio for Best R&B Instrumental Performance, Best Pop Instrumental Performance and Record of the Year, the octogenarian musician has always straddled the jazz and pop worlds. His multi-generational appeal even found English virtual band Gorillaz seeking out his services for their 2018 cut “Humility.” It wasn’t necessarily an easy sell for Benson, who initially declined to participate when his manager forwarded the group’s request.

“I thought it was an African-American group and I told her there was no way I was going to be on a record with some cats called The Gorillas because it sounded so ridiculous,” he recalled. “When I found out they were a Caucasian group from England, I had no idea what was going on so I told her to send me the music. I didn’t hear anything I could shine on or make sound better so I didn’t want to waste any body’s time. I said I couldn’t do it because I couldn’t find anything that meant anything. They asked her to have Mr. Benson put anything on there because they just wanted my sound. They sent me another song that sounded worse than the first song to me, so I went back to the first song. I went into the studio and

LONG ISLAND WEEKLY

Charlie Christian (July 29, 1916 to March 2, 1942) “I like Charlie Christian. He didn’t play like any guitar players I’d heard before—he was completely different. He had a great sound and he was very original. And he could swing hard. I loved that about him.”

George Benson Will Be Breezin’ At The Montreal International Jazz Festival told my engineer, ‘Turn it up man. I want to feel it live with the band.’ I reached over and turned the knob up myself and I knew exactly what to do then because I put myself in the band and played it as if we were all live. I think that’s what worked.”

A former child prodigy whose earliest musical memory was hearing holiday music in a local Pittsburgh department store when his mom took him Christmas shopping when he was around five, Benson picked up a ukulele when he was about seven before switching to guitar the following year. By the age of 21 he was a hired hand in jazz organist Jack McDuff’s band before recording 1964’s The New Boss Guitar, Benson’s debut as a leader. And while he always had a foot in both the pop and jazz camps, it wasn’t until 1976’s Breezin’ where he had

a commercial breakthrough. Benson’s fifteenth studio outing topped the jazz, pop and R&B charts, was certified triple platinum and became one of the best-selling jazz albums of all time. And while hard-core jazzbos might sniff at Benson allegedly selling out, he has no regrets and is happy to indulge his fans when he hits the stage.

“I learned a long time ago that if you don’t want to play hits, don’t record them, because you’re going to have to play them,” he said with a laugh. “I remember the years when we didn’t have any hits, we were playing to very small audiences in nightclubs.

There’s a great difference. When I saw my friends like Wes Montgomery, Jimmy Smith and some others that had hits in one case, the place where you had musicians say they weren’t going to play one hit or another ever

Grant Green (June 6, 1935 to January 31, 1979) “No matter what he played, it had a bluesy effect that gave it a good grounding and it sounded like it came from the streets.

That’s where the people lived— on the streets.”

Wes Montgomery (March 6, 1923 to June 15, 1968) “I love Wes Montgomery. He played with a certain sophistication and he was a true jazz guitar player but he made everything sound good. His pop music sounded excellent too.” again. I thought to myself that if I ever had a hit, I’d play it because that’s what the people are coming to hear—I knew that for certain.

‘This Masquerade’ changed my whole life.

It won Record of the Year at the Grammy Awards. From that moment on, my life has not been the same. I didn’t imagine that I would have any more hits after that. I got one hit and that was good. Twenty-six hits later—our lives are pretty solid and we have a great place in history.”

George Benson will be appearing on June 29 at the Montreal International Jazz Festival. Visit www.montrealjazzfest.com for more information.

etting older can be scary. But Senior America, Inc. works to ensure seniors have a better outlook on aging. The New York chapter of Ms. Senior America started in 1972 and works to promote a positive image of aging for seniors in New York.

Senior America is a non-profit organization designed to enrich the lives of seniors and work together to spread positive energy to the lives of others. The organization engages in programs and activities to enhance the lives of senior Americans. Each year, each chapter of Senior America hosts a pageant to select a woman over the age of 60 to represent the chapter in the Ms. Senior America Pageant. The current New York Chapter Cameo Club President, Doloros Hoffman, is Ms. New York Senior from 2016.

The New York chapter encompasses all of New York, with a majority of its members and pageant contestants from Long Island.

“It’s such an inspirational group, and each of us try and do inspire other women of all ages,” said Hoffman.

The organization has members ranging from 60 to just over 100. Hoffman shared that she has close friends who are turning 90 this year.

“One lady was a semi-professional swimmer, she swam every day of her life, and she just turned 102. There’s some good juice in

From the left: Marleen Schuss (NY Senior America State Administrator), Queen Mae Caime (Ms NY Senior America 2023), Village of Great Neck Plaza Mayor Ted Rosen, and Tina Hanley (NY Senior America 1st Runner Up 2022). (Photo by Nancy Rosen) this organization,” said Hoffman.

Hoffman and other chapter members organize monthly luncheon meetings for Cameo Club members. Hoffman enjoys planning these meetings with a touch of sparkle to add to the fun. The February meeting was Valentine’s Day-themed and this June, the meeting welcomes Summer, so ladies are encouraged to wear fashionable hats. The Cameo Club consists of close to 100 members, with about 30 members that regularly attend meetings.

In addition to club meetings, the organization hosts a fall fashion show, entertainment showcases and the spring pageant.

The New York chapter’s Seasoned Steppers

have been around since the ‘70s to perform dance numbers in glittering costumes at their showcases.

“We have showcases where the girls entertain at various hospitals and nursing homes,” said Hoffman. “The Seasoned Steppers put on shows as well as a lot of the other ladies who have a talent, which all of us have a talent of one way or another.”

Toward the end of May, The Seasoned Steppers and the New York chapter members visited The Village of Great Neck Plaza to perform for Older Americans Month. State Administrator Marleen Schuss

organized the event and received many wonderful compliments.

“The Seasoned Steppers is one of our major attractions,” said Schuss. “But we also have had a combination of comedians, monologues, vocalists, and some belly dancers before at our showcases. Senior America is a true variety of talents.”

The Ms. New York Senior Pageant that takes place every spring is one of the organization’s largest events. Women over 60 can apply to participate in the pageant, which

Tips to prevent seniors from being scammed • Stay connected to your loved ones to prevent isolation, which makes them more vulnerable to scams.

• Warn them never to share sensitive information and explain why.

• Help them create strong, unique passwords and avoid reusing them.

• Limit online shopping to trusted retailers and check for secure websites.

• Never click on suspicious links in emails, social media messages, texts, or take calls from fake caller IDs. • Monitor monthly banking statements for

signs of identity theft or unauthorized accounts. Shred statements before disposing of them.

• Protect social media accounts by only accepting friend requests from people they know, updating privacy settings, and using multi-factor authentication.

Delete messages from strangers and avoid odd payment types.

• Encourage your parents to name you as a Trusted Contact Person to speak with their financial advisors if there are concerns.

• Warn other family and friends if one of your loved ones has experienced a scam attempt. Discuss how to prevent fraudulent attempts.

What to do if a senior has been a victim of elder fraud If an elderly person you know has been scammed, it’s important not to panic and to stay calm. Document everything that has happened, including phone call logs, text messages, and emails, and report the scam to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the person’s bank and credit card providers. File a report with the local police and change all passwords to stronger ones, including social media accounts and investment profiles, setting different passwords for each site and enabling 2-Factor Authentication.

Elders can often be vulnerable and isolated, they may not be as tech-savvy therefore are targeted by fraudsters.

MS. SENIOR AMERICA from page 3B consists of an interview, a talent portion and an evening gown display.

“Twenty percent [of the pageant] is based on a five-minute interview with me and usually three to five other judges,” explained Hoffman. “And it’s based on the application that the contestants submit. And it’s not a beauty pageant; it’s about inner beauty.”

Another 20 percent of the pageant is based on the two-and-a-half-minute talent portion. While Hoffman had never been in a pageant before, she created a dance routine for her talent portion that landed her in the top 10 in Atlantic City for the Ms. Senior America pageant in 2016 after winning her Ms. New York Senior title. While many talents brought to the stage consist of dancing or singing, Hoffman explained that there are many other unique talents ladies have presented.

“Some gals will say, I’d really love to enter, but I don’t have a talent,” said Hoffman. “So I tell them about how we have had artists come up and do a quick painting. We’ve had an author come up and act out a portion of her book.

My first runner-up did yoga to music because she’s a yoga instructor.”

Another big component the judges look at during the pageant is how the contestant carries themselves in

an evening gown. While presenting themselves in an evening gown, the contestant has 35 seconds to debrief their philosophy of life.

“We look for someone who would be able to speak in public, that can properly represent the organization,” said Hoffman. “So that is really what they’re looking for; it’s not physical beauty.”

This year’s Ms. New York Senior is Mae Caime. Hoffman shared that Queen Caime is 64 years old and her inner beauty is just as great as her outer beauty. According to the New York Senior America website, Queen Caime’s personal statement is, “A smile is the best thing you can wear. It’s a universal language of love, kindness and peace.

Never leave home without it.”

Ms. New York Senior and the Senior America organization works to inspire confidence and help friendships blossom.

“I’ve met so many like-minded women and have become close friends with so many of these women,” said Hoffman.

The organization is working on its next big event, the fall fashion show, which will be held in mid-September.

convert a term life policy to a permanent policy, like whole life insurance or universal life insurance. With a guaranteed death benefit, permanent life insurance can be a great way to leave a legacy.

Retirement living

Retirement planning often includes a discussion of where couples want to spend their golden years. For empty nesters, this can be a time to downsize, simplify, and start having that conversation. It might also be time to move to a new location or closer to family.

Budget

Parents often find that their spending habits change after their children move out. With fewer people in the house, they may find that they’re spending less on food and other household items. Additionally, kids’ activities and expenses—from sports to college tuition—are no longer a part of the budget. As a result, empty nesters may have more money available to save or to spend on things they enjoy.

Lifestyle

Without kids at home, parents may find that they have more free time and less structure in their lives. This can be both good and bad. On the one hand, it’s a chance to pursue hobbies and interests that they didn’t have time for before. On the other hand, it can be easy to become isolated without the regular routine of school and extracurricular activities.

Empty nesters may need to make a conscious effort to connect with friends and loved ones.

As people age, their health needs change. Empty nesters may want to consider their risk factors for chronic diseases like heart disease, stroke, and cancer, and get up-to-date on screenings.

Activity

Empty nesters with more free time may want to find new ways to stay engaged and active, both mentally and physically.

There are many ways to keep active, from volunteering to taking up a new hobby.

The important thing is to find something enjoyable and sustainable.

This home at 15 Aron Dr. in Woodbury is in a quiet, yet convenient location. It sold on June 16 for $1,080,000. The property has so much space for your own taste and imagination. There are well-maintained hardwood floors throughout the entire house. The basement has an unusual ceiling height for you to add your own entertaining quarter. This property also has an ample backyard for outdoor living. The home has four bedrooms and three bathrooms.

aving a pet and renting a property poses challenges.

Landlors are often reluctant to allow them—barking, shredded cushions, scratched furniture being some of the reasons. A survey of 3,000 pet-owning tenants by AgentAdvice.com has revealed the extent to which they are prepared to pay to live with their pets.

The survey found that 82 percent of pet owners would be willing to pay an additional fee to keep their furry friend in the rental property with them. The average New York pet-owning renter would be prepared to pay a whopping $6,223 annually to live with their pet.

In New York, 14 percent of pet-owning renters admit to not disclosing this to their landlords (equating to 456,703 illegal pets)—that’s a lot of barking to cough over, or scratched table legs to cover up.

The research also revealed that two thirds thought it was fair for landlords to ask tenants to leave the property if it turned out they had pets which were not permitted. But sadly, the challenge of finding a rental property which allows pets discourages 58 percent of people from getting a pet if they are renters.

Talk to Your Landlord Getting permission to have a pet as a renter can be difficult. Landlords may include a “No Pets” clause in the lease to maintain control over how many pets are in their properties. If you have a good relationship with your landlord and are a responsible tenant, you may be able to persuade them to allow a pet. Providing documentation on your prospective pet’s health history and training plans can strengthen your case. Many landlords will make exceptions for excellent

tenants who are positive contributors to the rental community.

Be Flexible To convince your landlord to allow a pet, it’s important to be flexible with your pet choices. Many landlords have restrictions on the type or size of pets allowed due to noise or potential damage. If your landlord approves a pet with certain restrictions, consider being more selective in your choice of pet. However, if you have a good relationship with your landlord, it’s possible they will make exceptions for a responsible and reliable tenant. So don’t be afraid to have a conversation about bringing in a larger pet.

Providing Documentation If you’re looking to move into a new rental property, providing additional documentation can help show your landlord that you’re a responsible pet owner. This may include a letter from your current landlord, vet records, training records, and spay/neuter records. By demonstrating that your pet is well-behaved and non-disruptive, you can alleviate any concerns your landlord may have about potential property damage or disturbance to other renters.

Offer to Pay More To convince your landlord to allow a pet, offering to pay extra in the form of a deposit or monthly charge can show that you are committed to being responsible. While some pet-friendly rentals have upfront policies regarding deposits or rent surcharges, it’s possible to convince some landlords who don’t allow pets to make exceptions if you offer to pay extra. Pet deposits can be expensive, so be sure to have the necessary budget before making the offer.

Bad Air Affects Animals, Too

aolsen@antonmediagroup.com

W

hile it might seem like the haze has lifted, many experts are pointing to an active, severe wildfire season this year. One of the consequences of climate change is more frequent, more intense fire events, not just in Canada, but the American west as well. With the right conditions, this could continue to affect the Long Island area throughout the summer.

Poor air quality affects not only people, but also animals, including pets and livestock.

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, animals with cardiovascular or respiratory disease are especially at risk from smoke and should be closely watched during all periods of poor air quality. Look for the following signs of possible smoke or dust irritation in animals.

If any of your animals are experiencing any of these signs, consult your veterinarian.

• Coughing or gagging • Difficulty breathing, including open mouth breathing and increased noise when breathing • Eye irritation and excessive watering • Inflammation of throat or mouth • Nasal discharge • Asthma-like symptoms • Increased breathing rate • Fatigue or weakness • Disorientation or stumbling • Reduced appetite and/or thirst Dog and cat breeds with a shortened muzzle, also known as brachycephaly, need extra care. Pay special attention to breathing difficulties and consult your vet if you notice any changes in your pet’s behavior.

Take steps to protect your pets; keep them indoors with the windows shut as much as possible. Birds are especially vulnerable and should be kept indoors and away from windows when air quality alerts are in place. Only allow dogs and cats outside for brief bathroom breaks. Do not exercise pets

outdoors and generally avoid excessive activity until particulate matter has settled.

If you must spend time outside, be sure to wipe down your pet’s fur when you come

back inside, especially around the mouth and eyes, to remove smoke and ash.

For outdoor pets and livestock, avoid exercise and activity. Provide dust-free feed and

wet down dusty areas like pens and holding areas. If you can, temporarily secure animals in an enclosed room with ventilation, like a utility room or garage. Allow extra recovery time, up to 6 weeks, after an extreme air quality event before resuming strenuous activity.

Monitor the animal’s breathing closely to prevent further trauma.

Even inside, it is important not to contribute to poor air quality. Avoid burning candles, smoking and frying food. It is better to skip vacuuming as well, as this can recirculate pollutants. If you have an air purifier, use it, especially in the rooms where you and your pet sleep.

It is always a good idea to have a disaster plan. Include your pets in your planning, and have an evacuation kit for their needs, including medications. Know your evacuation route. If you have large animals, keep your trailer in travel condition, even if you don’t use it regularly. If you do not have a trailer, make an arrangement with someone to transport your animals if necessary.

Remember, if the air quality is poor for people, it is poor for pets, too.

aul Park joined the Varsity Track and Field team at Manhasset as a cautious, shy eighth-grader with a quiet but fierce inner motivation to become the best student-athlete he could possibly be. Over time Paul began to take great pride in his role, consistently exemplifying our program’s ideals.

Paul’s compassion for others in need became more acute after he himself battled depression and anxiety throughout the early stages of the pandemic, when he nearly made a decision to

leave the sport. Fortunately, after spending a few months away Paul was able to heal his mind and spirit and returned with a renewed enthusiasm to the sport and to life more generally.

While his leadership to the cross country team proved pivotal, track and field is where Paul, now a five time TEAM MVP l, has truly made his mark. Last year was a banner year for Paul, who earned All-Division, AllCounty, All-State and All-Federation honors in both the Long & Triple Jump during the indoor season (the only underclassman to achieve such a feat!) and qualified for the New Balance Indoor National Championships. Paul successfully carried this momentum into the spring season, replicating his success as an All-County, All-State, and All-Federation performer and National qualifier, while continuing to set one personal best after another.

In the 4x400m relay (51.24 split) he took a Millrose Games medal and set a new school record time, and very nearly broke our

school record in the 200m (23.59). Along the way, Paul scored invitational victories at the Nassau Coaches, North Shore HS Invitational, HCBU Showcase, Stanner Games, and the North Shore Pre-National meets while becoming a triple Conference (High Jump, Long Jump, Triple Jump) and triple County Champion (Long Jump, Triple Jump, 4x400).

Paul culminated his indoor season as the New York State Public School and Federation Champion in the Triple Jump, soaring nearly 47’ on his first and only jump of the competition to secure his first ever State title- with an injured heel.

Paul continued his dominance this spring, becoming a three time County Champion once again this spring, setting outdoor personal best marks in TJ (46-7.5) and LJ (22-11.5) along the way. Paul helped lead our 4x400 to a Penn Relays heat victory and the fastest time in Nassau County to date - 3:25.46.

caring and concern for others, will help him to reach new heights as he continues his studies and athletic pursuits next fall at the University of Pennsylvania.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Familiarity can dull the features of a place, draining the scenery of color. To avoid letting this happen to your current environs, you’ll make sure to put something exciting on the books: an adventure elsewhere to take you out of your routine and refresh your perspective. You’ll come back with new eyes.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll use intuition and keep it strong. This week features a breakthrough conversation between you and you. Consider changing up your method of communication. There are so many ways to relate to yourself -- meditation, journaling, mirror work, walking or driving while thinking out loud. Fortune favors experimentation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Like most beings, you do what doesn’t hurt. The trouble comes with the role of time. Some things that hurt in the short term bring long-term pleasure, enjoyment or ease. This week, you’ll often tinker with the scale that weighs pain against pleasure. Time is the beam in the center. Adjust your plan accordingly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You may as well be an appraiser this week because your valuation of things will have a big influence on sales outcomes both personally and professionally. The first thing to estimate is your own efforts. All else will flow from how you value what you do. The world will take the price you set as the going rate.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Instead of expecting to get what you wish, you wisely expect to get what people have and are willing to give. The maturity of this choice requires you to tune in carefully and observe the behavioral patterns for clues. Getting what you want is a function of finding the people and circumstances where that’s served and trading the local tender.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Whether at home or work, it’s a political atmosphere as people position themselves and make power moves to execute a strategy. The plot changes come quick. As each development happens, you’ll try to figure out the underlying emotion. “Why” will be more important to know than “what.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When things get hectic, you must think ahead to make time for the people who are important to you. It’s worth it to you to plan for and protect those hours you’ll devote to those in your inner circle. You don’t have to do much to make it special either. Just being together is wonderful.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll have instances of certainty and pockets of bewilderment, curiosity and questioning, too. These various states can be attributed to your well-developed sense of self. You’re not so involved in your own ego that you would assume to be constantly right. And your sophisticated mind is always open to learning more.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You were lucky enough to come into this world with abundant talent, and this year you’ll apply your talent to get lucky. With new connections and a different way of presenting your skills, exciting projects come together. You’ll discover a need, and serving it will take you on an adventure that will include travel, expanded networks and experiencing much beauty. More highlights: the adoration of the loyal, learning a language or culture and helping with a move that puts powerful people in position to make a change in the world.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re not so sure how to approach the game of tug of war presenting itself in the middle of your week. Do you exert yourself the most at the top, or test things out a while? Do you let go early, never or at the optimum time to see the opposition fall? The bottom line is this: It’s a game. If a game is not fun, it’s not worth playing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Whether you identify as introverted or extroverted, a peaceful type of solitude will fortify your soul this week. It’s not just about being alone in a tranquil environment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Small preferences and irritations aren’t worth fussing over. You may find yourself agreeing to what’s offered because that’s the easiest thing to do. Conventional wisdom balks. On the other hand, since most suffering comes from fighting the flow of life, surrendering to the ride is your ticket to adventure.

Let’s say that on a given deal, your opponents bid and make four hearts, vulnerable. At duplicate scoring, they would be plus 620 points.

Now let’s suppose you defeat the contract. In that event, you’d be either 100 or 720 points richer, depending on how you view such matters. For example, you could argue that the only actual gain is the 100 points you entered on your scorecard. Alternatively, you could argue that you had improved your position 720 points by depriving

declarer of 620 points and by scoring 100 points for your side instead.

Regardless of which philosophy you adopt, or what form of scoring you are using, the fact remains that there’s still a big difference between a contract that’s made and a contract that’s defeated.

All of which serves as an introduction to today’s deal, where if you defend correctly against four hearts, you defeat the contract, while if you misdefend, declarer gets home safely.

Two hurdles must be surmounted.

One arises at trick one, when East should overtake the spade king with the ace in order to continue with the queen. This is not a very challenging play, since East can easily afford to play the ace at trick one regardless of whether South has one spade, two spades or even no spades at all.

The second hurdle arises when East plays a third spade at trick three. If South ruffs with the queen, West must be careful not to overruff with the king. If he does, declarer will have no trouble taking the rest of the tricks. Instead, West should discard a club or a diamond in the hope that East was dealt either the jack or ten of hearts, in which case West will eventually score the nine of hearts as well as the king to defeat the contract.

Happy 65th Anniversary To Mineola’s Jean And Peter Burnside

ean and Peter Burnside were married in Kilmarnock Scotland on July 2nd, 1958.

Jean and Peter survived the World War II blitz in Scotland as children and grew up in the same neighborhood.

Jean and Peter left Scotland in March 1959 and came to New York as immigrants.

Peter served 39 months active duty in the Army Signal Corps in Germany during the building of the Berlin Wall, and served on a mountain top near the Czech border in a tent with mud in the summer, snow in the winter, and no running water (meaning he had to brush his teeth with beer when the water tank froze).

Jean and Peter settled in Mineola in 1966 and are still in the same house on Wellington Rd. They raised two children and have 4 grandchildren. They are regular attendees at the Community Church of East Williston, where they lead the midweek Bible study groups. Peter is an officer in the LI Scots group that runs the big Scottish Festival at Old Westbury Gardens every

Ryan Haugstatter, director of development for the New York Chapter of Paws of War, stated, “This is incredible! What a successful fundraiser!”

Committee member Lorraine Kuzniar stated, “It’s a blessing to be able to support the men and women who protect us and the dogs that serve them.” Three Paws of War volunteers, all veterans, were present at the recent plant sale where people could meet them and their therapy dogs to learn more about Paws of War. — Submitted by Carolyn Orlik
