LETTERS TO HEROES

BY GARY SIMEONE

Nassau County Legislator John Feretti holds up a letter from a child to healthcare workers and first responders.

Nassau County Legislator John Ferretti, Nassau County Clerk Maureen O’Connell, Police Benevolent Association President James McDermott and Helen Meittinas, President of the Community

association of Stewart Avenue, have announced a program to thank healthcare workers and first responders, “Letters to Our Heroes”.

As COVID-19 sweeps across our county, state, and

nation, our healthcare workers and first responders are, now more than ever, on the front lines keeping us safe.

Town of Oyster Bay temple goes virtual

BY GARY SIMEONE With the concept of social distancing being more important than it’s ever been, businesses and different organizations have been looking

for alternative ways to stay connected. The Town of Oyster Bay Chabad, like many other institutions, has placed all of its services online in order to keep congregants engaged and their spirits up.

“Our services were always available to our members online but now they’re more intensified because of the obvious circumstances,” said See page 14

Nassau County Police Commissioner, Patrick Ryder, released a report this past month, stating that domestic violence cases in the County have spiked 10% since the beginning of the year. The report gave statistics from the Nassau County Police Department, citing that they have so far received 2,825 reports of domestic violence from January 1st to March 23rd, which is from 2,552 from the same period in 2019. This has been the result of the personal and financial stresses people have encountered by the ongoing coronavirus epidemic.

The Safe Center LI, located in Bethpage, is preparing for the higher volume of calls from people who are experiencing the issue of domestic violence.

"As a result of this new figure, we are preparing our clients so they can access our services remotely," said Keith Scott, Director of Education at the Safe Center. "People cannot come to the Center during these times so we want to try and preserve their safety through telephone and video conference calls to our staff."

He added that all calls would

be free of charge to clients to help those who are financially strapped by the coronavirus outbreak.

Scott said the reason for the uptick is because people are confined to their homes during the outbreak and that abusers can track their partner's every move on a 24/7 basis.

"Many of the victims of domestic violence are penned up with their abusers in the house for longer periods of time and therefore they may be unable to access our services," said Scott. "The best thing for them to do in this case is have a family member reach out to us or to create a safety plan where they can escape for awhile and contact our 24 hour Nassau County hotline."

A combination of people being stuck together in close quarters for a long period of time and the added stress of societal and financial burdens can be a recipe for disaster for those who are experiencing domestic violence.

"Abusers operate solely through power and control and this interpersonal violence increases when people now are required to shelter See page 14

Town Board holds virtual meeting, departments push ahead First ever teleconference meeting keeps elected officials, public socially distanced

BY RIKKI MASSAND In an almost empty Council meeting venue, Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, joined by Town Clerk Richard LaMarca and a handful of employees hosted a teleconference meeting Councilmembers on Tuesday March 31, marking a rapid transition to the Oyster Bay Town Board’s first-ever virtual (call-in) meeting, with more dates on the horizon.

Supervisor Saladino said it’s very important to take time during the Coronavirus pandemic to thank staff and essential workers, “and let the public know what’s going on.”

“All of our Town Board members and elected officials have been out in their cars and working remotely during the pandemic to keep an eye on what goes on. We keep Town parks open under safety regulations which New York State has deemed to be important, and which we’re following. Our Councilmembers, Town Clerk, Town Receiver of Taxes Jeff Pravato all continue working and we’ll be advising residents on the new ways in which the Town will be collecting property taxes to safely protect both the public and our local employees. I thank Jeff and the Finance team for all they are doing to still keep government up and functioning with the resources we need,” Saladino said.

At the onset of Tuesday’s meeting he announced the compliance with Governor Cuomo’s executive order for continued functions of the municipal governments in New York State despite not having the ability to meet in person

as normal, instead by virtual connections.

Councilman Louis Imbroto praised efforts of Town employees including the Sanitation Department “working like crazy” plus the Highway Department as well as administrative staff continuing to serve residents in their respective ‘essential’ municipal roles.

Saldino thanked the Town Building Department of Planning and Development including Commissioner Leslie Maccarone and Deputy Commissioner Tim Zike.

“We have made so many changes in the department with great morale and work ethic, the output and the amount of hurdles our teams persevere through.

The Department of Public Safety is another area where our team, under the leadership of Commissioner James McCaffrey, is doing a tremendous job -- the entire department are our heroes.

We are on the phone with them twice a day if not more,” Saladino said, adding that the Board’s communications over the phone and via virtual meetings will allow the process to continue.

As the March 31 meeting began there was remembrance of 21-year-old Town Public Safety Officer Anthony Cardillo, who died over the weekend from injuries sustained in a car accident, “a heartbreaking tragedy for our Town of Oyster Bay family,” the supervisor said.

He commended Cardillo for his dedication to public service and volunteering to risk his life every day as a member of the Massapequa Fire Department, as a member of the Nassau County Police Explorers and for earning his Eagle Scout Award a few years ago.

Before official business, Saladino led the participants in the prayer Our Father before asking God “to grant each of us strength to proceed with our heads held high, and grant us patience, foresight, and most of all allow us to continue to embrace the love you have taught us.”

Scrutiny of Syosset ‘Zombie home’ Town Clerk LaMarca read aloud an email from a resident regarding a resolution to authorize a “property cleanup” of 90 Cold Spring Road in Syosset.

The Supervisor said the cleanup was performed December 5, 2019 and then referred to Nassau County for placement on the County Tax Assessment Rolls. “The Town spent a total of $893.27 on that cleanup. In order to reimburse taxpayers in the Town of Oyster Bay, as is the case with all our cleanups we charge the landowner,” he commented.

Councilman Imbroto is co-chair of the Town Board’s Quality of Life Task Force, as the issue surrounding several zombie homes near Massapequa and other parts of Oyster Bay came into focus in October of 2017 during a Candidate’s Forum event leading up to that year’s election. To date, the Town Council authorized demolition for 12 such zombie homes.

“I commend the great work of all our Town staff to address these properties in our communities. The home at 90 Cold Spring Road is part of the Town’s

Zombie Home program right now and it’s in the midst of legal proceedings that are required for demolition. That’s in-process and the Town intends to eventually take it down as a “zombie home.” But with the closures of all courts right now all of the process is in limbo as an application cannot go before the County Supreme Court right now as it remains closed for the foreseeable future.

“We’ve had to take down approximately 12 of the zombie homes and the Task Force, Town inspectors and Town Board have worked arduously and with tremendous dedication to change the Town Code and step up enforcement.

We have all been on-site and watching legal teams as well as TOBAY Highway Department workers to enable us, to get these cases into the courts and gain judicial permission to knockdown neglected, abandoned homes,” Supervisor Saladino said. He described the process involved with a daylong cleanup and demolition of zombie homes, fully eradicating any debris and filling in of basements, “gas, electrical and all utilities disconnected promptly.”

“Frankly other Town Supervisors have called Oyster Bay to learn about what we’ve done to change the code and process as we’ve had so much success in demolition and cleanups of zombie home sites. We’re going to continue to do that,” the supervisor announced.

Uma and Eesha Kaushik, two sisters from Syosset, came up with an idea for a Go Fund Me page after being cooped up in their house. The two high school students wanted to help donate needed medical equipment likes gloves and mask to the doctors and nurses who are on the frontline of the Coronavirus epidemic.

Uma, who is a junior at Syosset High School, said that she and her sister came up with the idea after listening to their father explain the dire situation at area hospital’s.

“My dad is a gastroenterologist at St. Francis Hospital in Roslyn, and he told us about the constant influx of COVID19 infected patients into the hospital,” said Kaushik. “He said the situation is really bad and that the medical staff has been reusing masks and placing hand sanitizer on to disinfect them.”

She said that she and her sister wanted to do something to help out because they were worried about their father’s health, as well as all of the people who are on the frontline caring for infected patients.

“We started this Go Fund Me page to raise the money to buy the necessary supplies like gloves, masks and gowns and have them shipped to area hospitals like St Francis and Northwell Health,”

said Kaushik.

The sister team has also been asking family members and friends, as well as teachers from their school if they have extra gloves and masks to donate and to spread the word to raise awareness for their cause.

Uma said that this was kind of a personal passion because they were worried their father could get called to the frontline because of the added need for medical staff.

“I know some of his patients in his private practice have contracted the virus and we are very worried that he could get infected.”

Eesha, a freshman at the high school, said being stuck at home during the school closures, made them think of some out of the box ideas to help people who are on the frontline.

“We see all over the news what’s happening and that hospital’s were running out of supplies, so we wanted to help out in some ways to try and stop the spread of this virus,” said Eesha. “We figured this was a small action we can do to help start something bigger.”

The girls said they were contacting as many people as they can think of to contribute including students in their school club’s and teachers and staff.

This past Friday they collected 600 items including 300 masks and 300 gowns and shipped them to St. Francis

Uma and Eesha Kaushik and St Joseph’s emergency room units.

Families collect medical Town offers free online resume help for job seekers supplies for first responders In light of the current emergency restrictions and conditions on many local businesses due to the immediate public health threat, the Town of Oyster Bay has announced that the Massapequa Career Center is offering free online resume review services for those individuals looking to re-enter the workforce following this public health threat. The resume review services are be offered through the Town’s federally funded Workforce Partnership, a consortium of local governments committed to providing free and valuable information and services to both employers and jobseekers.

Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino stated, “Many people are facing a great hardship through unemployment at this time as all non-essential businesses are closed, but hope is around the corner as we continue to fight this pandemic together. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be felt by businesses and prospective jobseekers alike, the pres-

ent time is as good as any to review and improve your resume with the help of the Massapequa Career Center. Our employees are ready to help!”

Residents looking to consult with the Massapequa Career Center on how best to update their resume to avoid such pitfalls as inclusion of inappropriate information or irrelevant information and work history are urged to email their resume to jsarcone@oysterbay-ny. gov. Professionals will review resumes and contact residents with tips on how to best improve their resume to make it as presentable as possible for future job opportunities.

“The Town and the Workforce Partnership are committed to helping our residents, especially those most in need during this current crisis, find meaningful employment opportunities as well as assisting local businesses looking to restock their workforce in recruiting qualified employees,” added Supervisor Saladino.

Bethpage HS students focus on futures

Bethpage High School held their first career fair on March 6, inviting dozens of professionals to share their career experiences with students.

Representatives from industries such as healthcare, marketing, education, finance and criminal justice were in attendance.

Booths were set up in the school’s gym for each professional representative and informational sessions with smaller groups of students were conducted throughout the day. Business teachers Anthony Murray and Nancy Simpson organized the event to expand students’ knowledge on possibilities for

their futures after graduation. Assistant Principal Ralph Tocco and Principal Nicholas Jantz, as well as student members of Virtual Enterprise, also assisted with set up and activities throughout the day.

“We appreciate all of our presenters, many being alumni, who came out to share their expertise with students,” said Assistant Superintendent Mike Spence. “Career Day at Bethpage High School gave our students a glimpse into possible future careers and the path needed to get there.”

100 years ago: Syosset, Woodbury & the Pandemic of 1918

BY TOM MONTALBANO

For the roughly 750 humble citizens of Syosset and Woodbury, the mid-1910’s were a time of extraordinary change.

Syosset had just formed its own volunteer fire company, the first automobiles were appearing on Jackson Avenue and Jericho Turnpike, and residents were excitedly discovering the conveniences of electricity and telephone service. For now, life was good.

Each day, the rhythm of handsaws and hammers echoed through the villages as craftsmen converted acres of unproductive farmland into extravagant country homes for young Manhattan aristocrats, many of them financiers who, by 1915, were generating enormous incomes by funding an overseas war for which there was no end in sight. Ironically, many lamented having to cancel European vacations for their own safety during the conflict, completely unaware of the deadly battle that was about to break out right on their own doorsteps.

The War Before The War

For the first three years of what would become World War I, the United States managed to remain neutral and keep its troops out of combat. However, a series of events in 1917 led, first, to a build-up of America’s military and, next, to the country’s full-blown

Jackson Avenue in 1913, five years before the pandemic. involvement on battlefields throughout the European continent. Soon, thousands of young Americans, including many from Syosset and Woodbury, found themselves stationed at military bases hundreds or thousands of miles from home.

Over the next nineteen months, almost 54,000 American soldiers would die fighting the Central Powers alli-

ance of Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria. Even more astounding, however, is the number of young, healthy American soldiers – sixty-three-thousand-plus - who would lose their lives to a far more daunting enemy, one that would brutally assault soldiers and civilians around the globe in a relentless campaign that outlasted the war itself.

Although there is no definitive explanation for the origin of the massive worldwide Influenza outbreak that occurred more than a century ago, most historians point to the following chain of events: In March of 1918, a private at a large military base in Kansas reported to the barracks hospital with a sore throat, fever, and headache. Within three hours, more than one hundred of his fellow soldiers had developed the same symptoms; within two weeks, this flulike illness, which had first revealed itself among Kansas farmers in January of the same year, had landed more than 1,000 soldiers in the base hospital and had confined thousands to their beds.

Forty-eight of the afflicted soldiers ultimately succumbed to this mysterious ailment. The rest were dispatched to other stateside training camps, where severe outbreaks quickly occurred and affected tens of thousands of recruits, many of whom were due to be shipped overseas.

As they made their way across the United States bound for combat training in France, soldiers spread their germs on trains and then on ships as they sailed the Atlantic. Arriving at the battlefront, they huddled in trenches with allies from the U.K. and France and further circulated the illness. Those who remained stateside continued to contaminate bases and infect their families when they went home to visit. By the

Spring of 1918, this deadly new strain of the H1N1 Influenza virus had swept across the United States and Europe, affecting both military and civilian populations, young and old indiscriminately. By the War Department’s most conservative estimate, Influenza (and the severe pneumonia that typically followed) sickened more than one million recruits and killed almost 30,000 before they even reached the front line in Europe.

To maintain positive morale among troops on the European front, the United States, Britain, and France made a pact to censor all reporting of the outbreak that was sickening and killing hundreds, if not thousands, of soldiers every day. On the contrary, Spain, which had maintained its neutrality in the war and was not bound by the secrecy agreement, began openly and accurately reporting cases inside its borders.

Consequently, the rest of the world began to view Spain as a hotspot for the deadly, fast-spreading illness, which the U.S. and European media conveniently dubbed “The Spanish Flu.” Although Influenza (aka “The Grip”) had been a common ailment in the Syosset-Woodbury region for many years, cases of the so-called “Spanish Flu” suddenly exploded in the area in October of 1918, when neighbor after neighbor fell mysteriously ill and several died within weeks of their first symptoms. The Long Islander newspaper reported that “Never before in the best recollections of the oldest residents has this village had such an epidemic of grip and pneumonia. About half our population have been or are down with either, and the physicians are on the go day and night endeavoring to relieve the suffering community.”

Medical scientists of the time were baffled by the seemingly indestructible See page 13

TOBAY car show, festival cancelled

In light of the current emergency restrictions and conditions imposed by the Federal and State government due to the imminent public health threat, the Town of Oyster Bay has cancelled the TOBAY Spring Classic Car Show and the Annual Spring Festival at Syosset-Woodbury Community Park.

Both events were scheduled to take placed on Saturday, April 25th.

For residents who had already registered to participate in the Spring Classic Car Show, registration will automatically be applied to the Town’s Fall TOBAY Beach Classic Car Show, which is scheduled to take place on October 10th. There is no make-up date sched-

uled for the Town’s Spring Festival.

For more information on the latest Town facility closures and program cancellations, residents can visit www. oysterbaytown.com. Additionally, the Town recently announced the creation of a new online portal for residents to be able to handle most of their Town business remotely. The portal, titled ‘Town Hall at Home,’ provides a onestop shop for information on performing Town business remotely during this public health crisis, including paying taxes, filing paperwork, or requesting documents. The Town’s online portal can be found at www.oysterbaytown. com/tob-at-home

Town to resume yard waste collection

Yard waste collection will resume for Town of Oyster Bay homeowners who receive town sanitation collection, beginning the week of April 1. Yard waste is picked up on the same day as recycled materials.

“With the spring season nearly upon us, many residents will begin clearing their properties from leaves and other debris left behind by winter,” said Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino said. “Yard waste collection, which includes lawn clippings, will get underway the first week in April.”

Residents should place yard waste curbside on their same day as their recycling items. Yard waste is collected

by Town sanitation crews and taken to compost facilities. Waste includes grass clippings, weeds, leaves, tree trimmings, hedge and shrub clippings and other garden/yard waste. Materials

should be placed in bags at the curb, and should weigh no more than 50 pounds.

No household garbage, refuse or animal waste should be disposed with yard waste.

“Collecting Yard Waste is an important component to our recycling program,” said Supervisor Saladino. “One of the prime benefits of recycling yard waste is that the cost to take these materials to a compost facility is less than the cost to dispose of them at an out-of-state landfill. This successful program is another example of the Town’s commitment to providing high quality environmental services while protecting our taxpayers’ wallets.”

Taxpayers are generally charged up to $6 by the vendor for eCheck (ACH) payments and will now only be charged $0.75 for payments up to $100,000. This reduced fee was requested by the Receiver of Taxes as the office has suspended in-person payments due to the current public health emergency facing our nation.

Oyster Bay Receiver of Taxes Jeffrey P. Pravato stated, “With the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, many local governments have suspended in-person interactions at their facilities. As the pandemic has had a profoundly negative effect on the residents of the Town of Oyster Bay, and throughout New York State, Supervisor Joseph Saladino and I sought to reduce costs for taxpayers by asking the vendor

to reduce their fees. We’re happy to report that the vendor agreed to reduce these costs. To provide further relief, we have also urged the Governor to issue an Executive Order to extend the tax collection deadline for payment of school taxes for a 30-day period.”

Supervisor Saladino and Receiver Pravato contacted the Governor’s Office last week to request the extension. As the tax collection deadline is currently scheduled for May 11, reminder notices are scheduled to be mailed to residents in early April.

“Our Tax Office remains open, but we have temporarily suspended personal, in-office contact, resulting in the temporary halt of processing payments made in person, and delaying processing of mailed payments,” said Receiver Pravato. “We are currently coordinating the collection of the second half of school taxes for 2019-2020, and extending this deadline is important to continue protecting the safety of our residents.”

In following the direction set by the Governor at Bethpage State Park, the Town of Oyster Bay will reopen the Hon. Joseph Colby Golf Course and Driving Range in Woodbury tomorrow, Wednesday, March 25. New safety measures include tee times staggered in 15 minute intervals as opposed to the standard 8 minutes.

Unfortunately golf carts will not be available for rental at this time. To protect golfers and employees, the use of credit cards is recommended as is registering your tee time online. The Town will continue to safeguard visitors through intensified cleaning procedures that meet or exceed standards set forth by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

“After carefully reviewing our procedures, additional preventative measures are now in place to protect the health of our residents and staff while ensuring patrons can enjoy rounds of golf again,” said Supervisor Saladino. “The safety of our residents and employees will

always come first. Please practice social distancing at all times. Thank you for your cooperation and for assisting everyone with getting through this time safely.”

To reserve a tee time, please visit http://oysterbaytown.com/departments/parks/golf-course/. For more information, please contact the Parks Department directly at (516) 797-4113 or by email at rgucker@oysterbay-ny.gov.

Additionally, Supervisor Saladino and the Town Board recently announced the creation of a new online portal and live-chat option for residents to contact government representatives and access services. The portal, titled ‘Town Hall at Home,’ provides a one-stop shop for information on performing Town business remotely during this public health crisis, including paying taxes, filing paperwork, or requesting documents. The Town’s online portal can be found at www.oysterbaytown.com/ tob-at-home.

Successful supply drive for PPE donations by legislator, Chamber

BY RIKKI MASSAND

On Saturday, March 28th Syosset Public Library’s parking lot on South Oyster Bay Road was transformed with masked and gloved participants, many boxes of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and large tents set up. Local volunteers and leaders collected supplies for medical and healthcare workers and first responders on the front lines of Long Island’s battle with the coronavirus pandemic.

The PPE Supply Drive was co-hosted by Syosset native, Nassau County Legislator Josua Lafazan; Accounting Brew, a new small business founded

by Woodbury resident Catalina Chew, and the Syosset Woodbury Chamber of Commerce. Chamber President Maureen Nickel, a longtime resident of Woodbury and owner of Bright Star Home Health Care, was hands-on at the Supply Drive and noted that donations were taken to the Office of Emergency Management in Bethpage. The collection would then be brought to hospitals and facilities.

“There was a tremendous outpouring of support from the community. We collected masks, gloves, gowns disinfectant wipes and cleaners. Bethpage OEM will be distributing these essential supplies to local hospitals and healthcare institutions in an attempt to keep our healthcare worker safe,” she told the Advance and News-Journal. Nickel offered a special thank you to participants from Home Depot manager, Jayson; Elite Tent and Party Rental, and Bob Engel from Hurricane Grill and Wings. Among participants Saturday were Chamber members Mary Beth Heinecke of Cold Spring Hills Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation and pharmacist/co-owner Jonathan Sholder of Syosset Pharmacy (175 Jericho Turnpike).

“The Syosset Woodbury Chamber of Commerce, along with Nassau County Legislator Josh Lafazan, is grateful for the tremendous support received today during the COVID-19 ‘Supply Drive’ to assist our local healthcare workers. We thank the community for their overwhelming response to this drive. Even children in our community participated with their beautiful drawings thanking our local healthcare providers!” Nickel said.

Chew recently began her business with Accounting Brew, becoming a chamber member for 2020 after relocating to Woodbury from the Boston area last year. One of her cousins, Lawrence, is a doctor who works in the ER at the Northwell Health Syosset Hospital, and Chew was inspired by recent events to help with supplying needs of PPE and sanitizing items.

“I can’t find words to describe the care and dedication exhibited in this community! There are communities and then there are communities like Syosset/Woodbury. It was amazing

Nassau County Legislator Joshua Lafazan, right, and volunteers with donated supplies. as Elite Tent and Party Rental set up this tent for us to stay in under the rain, even before we got there. Then Hurricane Grill & Wings provided lunch to all the volunteers at the Supply Drive. Originally I envisioned helping organize a drive just like this to provide the Syosset Woodbury area with PPE, supplies, disinfectant-like sprays as so many of the community members and organizations are in need. I recall around March 13 I had gone into maybe 10 local stores and there were no hand sanitizers, no cleaning solutions as the pandemic created panic-buying. I have been home, unless it was urgently needed to go to the grocery store, and I’ve shopped through Instacard. But with this happening I wanted to find ways to assist others while keeping everyone around me, including my family safe,” Chew explained in an interview this week.

Through Instacart she was in contact with a part-time delivery person --- a full-time local nurse. In conversation Chew learned that nurses are attending to her shifts minus enough PPE or hand sanitizer, and the nurse she ment said she was concerned if the hospital would have any PPE or supply once more people arrived at work.

“Once I heard that I gave her hand sanitizer and offered her anything else

I had at home. But from that point on, I made it clear that we as a community have to DO SOMETHING. Even if this Supply Drive only managed a few donations it would have been worth everybody’s time. But in talking with Maureen Nickel, she reached out to Legislator Lafazan and from there it all came together quickly -- within days the flyer was distributed and less than a week later we saw great turnout and donations. Maureen led by example and she was amazing, sharing the vision and telling us ‘Let’s do it!’ This showed how much people from our Chamber community, Legislator Lafazan and his office’s contacts care,” Chew said.

Chew says the donations were handled seamlessly by volunteers while maintaining social distancing of 8 to 10 feet and wearing protective masks and surgical gloves.

“Every precaution was taken and we were very distant, even keeping conversations from far apart. I made protocols going home to sanitize and be cognizant in changing clothes, cleaning door knobs and rails. That was part of sacrifices we made, but at least we were able to do something beneficial,” she said. As a business tax specialist Chew would like to offer fellow businesspeople an opportunity for a free consultation and discussion on the latest federal

and state small business disaster relief in the months ahead.

Chamber Board member, Syosset resident Amanda Johnson of Balloons

by Amanda was in action at Saturday’s Supply Drive. Before handling donations she decorated around the tent and added to the upbeat, proactive feel.

“It felt good to be able to do something in a time when we have to put our lives on hold. We had so many people turn out and donate, from families that just went shopping specifically for PPE and sanitizing products so they can contribute to people in the local construction industry who wanted to donate their protective gear as they aren’t using the supply right now,” Johnson explains.

Legislator Lafazan noted that the Supply Drive continues this week: “Should you have any further supplies that you'd like to donate, whether in your home or in your business, Nassau County will be collecting items from March 30th through April 3rd between 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM at Eisenhower Park (Field 3).

Lafazan advises residents who have additional ideas or any questions/concerns regarding COVID-19 response to contact his office at (516) 571-6218 or via email, JLafazan@NassauCountyNY. gov.

potency of the Spanish Flu, while political leaders and their appointees opted to play down its severity, denying that the mounting number of hospitalizations and deaths were related to this new strain of Influenza and insisting that the disease was confined and would soon be eradicated. Hospitals across the country, perhaps overly confident that the “new” flu was just as treatable as the “old” flu, failed to assemble supplies and prepare for mass hospitalizations.

President Wilson, fully engulfed in the war, offered no comment or words of reassurance. By the end of the war, he, too, would be infected.

On October 4, 1918, as treatment areas in the local hospitals began to swell with fever drenched Spanish Flu sufferers, The Long Islander pleaded with readers in the Huntington, Cold Spring Harbor, Woodbury, and Syosset areas to help the local Red Cross obtain critically needed facial masks, sheets, and towels, which caregivers were quickly depleting. Readers were also urged to avoid crowded meeting places and to “live in the open” as much as possible.

By mid-October, with scores of students sick and many prominent residents falling ill or dying, the Syosset and Woodbury schools dismissed their students for an initial period of two weeks. This came as a welcomed development for local farmers, who seized the opportunity to replace workers who

had been drafted into the army with children who were on an unexpected school holiday. Shortly afterward, the local newspapers warned parents that “In these strenuous times, as the school authorities have done their duty in closing the schools for the benefit of the health of our children, it is up to the parents to do their share by keeping their children off the public streets!”

Other institutions and organizations were slow to follow the schools’ lead.

Without instantaneous news reporting and social media, the “country folk” of Syosset-Woodbury had no way of knowing that, in October of 1918 alone, nearly 195,000 of their fellow Americans had been wiped out by the flu. The Community Church of Syosset and the Woodbury Methodist Church, both centers of social activity, finally closed their doors on November 1, the same day Town of Oyster Bay officials issued orders prohibiting children under the age of sixteen from attending “any theater, moving picture show, or other place of public entertainment.” For the time being, the large majority of community gatherings in Syosset and Woodbury came to a screeching halt.

The news, however, must not have reached the Syosset Fire Company, which, during the peak of the local pandemic, held a benefit dance in its Muttontown Road firehouse.

Within a week or two, several company members, including Henry Lang (owner of a busy hotel and saloon at

the triangle of Jackson Avenue and Cold Spring Road), Gus Kleiss (Syosset’s blacksmith), and Albert Bayles (the company’s founder), were diagnosed with the flu. Other prominent Syosset residents, including Floyd Jarvis (ticket agent at the Syosset railroad station) and members of the Underhill and Mann families, also took to their beds. Given their daily social interaction through business activities alone, these individuals were likely responsible for many new infections that quickly spread throughout the community.

The War Comes To A Close

The end of World War I in Europe on November 11, 1918 certainly deserved a celebration, and local residents could not resist. Syosset and Woodbury’s schools and churches re-opened their doors and, on November 15, a large crowd gathered in downtown Syosset for a victory parade, after which participants lit a huge bonfire, burned a rag doll of German Kaiser Wilhelm II, and joined hands to sing the National Anthem.

One week later, scores of parade attendees and other residents fell ill with Influenza. The residents of Syosset and Woodbury, apparently, just weren’t “getting it” (although lots of them were, in fact, GETTING it).

Sadly, this story trudges on for at least another year, with brief glimpses of hope quashed time and again by fresh outbreaks that occurred each time

infected soldiers returned from the warfront or children inadvertently brought the bug back to the classroom. In January of 1919, the Syosset School took a proactive step to prevent additional outbreaks by replacing the unhygienic compost-style depository in its outhouse (essentially a hole in the ground that collected students’ bodily waste) with what officials touted as a “sanitary toilet,” a precursor to the flush toilets of today. The new plumbing’s effectiveness is unknown; however, we do know that the Influenza nightmare continued for the people of Syosset and Woodbury.

By the time the pandemic finally subsided in late 1919, the “Spanish Flu” had killed at least fifty million people worldwide and half a million in the United States alone. While the actual number of mortalities in the Syosset-Woodbury area is unknown, local news articles from 1918 and 1919 document a staggering number of deaths and long-term illnesses right within this small area.

The Influenza pandemic also caused an increase in other serious respiratory ailments including tuberculosis, which afflicted many Syosset- Woodbury residents for years to come.

The Bright Side…And A Warning

Somehow, Syosset and Woodbury - along with the rest of the nation – emerged from the 1918-1919 pandemic to enjoy a decade of unprecedented wealth and happy times.

Hicksville elementary schools launch bullying prevention program The Hicksville School District kicked off the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program at the board of education meeting on Jan. 22. Olweus is a program designed for students that aims to reduce existing bullying problems, prevent the development of new issues and achieve better peer relations at school.

All elementary schools in the district have adopted the Olweus program.

Student and staff members from Dutch Lane Elementary School were in attendance to speak on the school’s implementation of Olweus. Principal Janine Rossi described the Olweus professional development courses that were conducted with her staff. In addition to the staff’s courses, a survey was given to students in grade K-5 to gauge an understanding on how they feel during the school day.

After preparation was complete, the school planned a kickoff to coincide with the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. Keeping Dr. King’s philosophy in mind, Dutch Lane students chose the theme “Kindness Rocks” for the event.

On Jan. 17, the entire Dutch Lane community gathered in the auditorium wearing their school colors as a sign of unity. During the event, teachers

acted out the book “Stick and Stone,” a story of unlikely friendship and mutual respect.

“Our teachers made us laugh while teaching us a valuable lesson,” said Dutch Lane student Lucas Mane.

The students defined bullying as a group and laid out ground rules for how to implement the Olweus program at their school. The rules are: do not bully others, try to help students who are being bullied, include students who are being left out and tell an adult at school and/or home if they know of someone being bullied.

During the kickoff, students wrote down random acts of kindness they can do to make their school a better place.

They then connected them to make one long chain of kindness that reached all around the auditorium. “It was a great way for all of us to see how kindness can quickly multiply to grow into something that is unstoppable,” said Dutch Lane student Gabrielle Hasse.

Dutch Lane student Shanjaay Naguleswaran handed out “I Pledge to be Kind” stickers donated by the Hicksville Congress of Teachers to board members. To conclude the presentation, Gabrielle, Lucas, Shanjaay

Dutch Lane Elementary School students and teachers (from left to right) Shanjaay Naguleswaran, Lucas Mane, Ron Modik, Gabrielle Hasse, Anthony Urena, Dawn Wicks, Marissa Doyle and Stephanie Sullo spoke about their implementation of the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program at the Board of Education meeting on Jan. 22. and student Anthony Urena received special certificates of recognition for their part in the kickoff.

Town of Oyster Bay temple goes Domestic abuse cases virtual with online programs spike during pandemic From page 1

Rabbi Shmuel Lipszyc. “Everything that our temple offers we do online except for our Saturday services, when there is no technology allowed.”

All of the services, which can be found on the website, Jewishtob.org, include a multitude of adult and youth services, such as online classes, a virtual Hebrew school class that began on March 18th and assembled select prayers including a free quarantine Kaddish service.

The site offers a virtual quarantine distance learning center, where members and non-members can select from a variety of online courses and classes to advance one’s Jewish knowledge.

Rabbi Lipszyc said members can utilize the site to put

together their own Seder kit to celebrate the Passover holiday.

Items in the kit will include handmade Matzah’s, wine or grape juice, traditional Seder foods, candles, a Kiddish cup and a leader handbook.

“This is the first year that people won’t be invited to the Seder, so instead we will be offering Seder-to-go boxes which will include all items necessary to run a traditional Seder,” said Lipszyc.

The Rabbi said that people have been reacting in different ways to the new format.

“Some of our members are struggling with not being able to come to synagogue on a weekly basis because coming here gives them a strong sense of identity. Now they kind of have to build their own personal identity without relying on

the communal support.”

He added that this upheaval to people’s lives has actually galvanized members because volunteers have teamed together to help vulnerable members of our society with their grocery shopping and other errands.

“It has really given our members an opportunity for growth,” said Lipszyc. “We of course want everyone to be safe and cautious because this matter is not in our hands, it’s in God’s hands. We know that people have a tremendous sense of anxiety right now but it is really important to find the right balance.”

The Town of Oyster Bay Chabad is located at 678 Woodbury Road in Woodbury.

“Letters To Our Heroes” sought to thank healthcare workers From page 1 “Letters to Our Heroes”; a way for children and members of the community to write thank you letters and emails to those working around the clock serving our community.

Legislator Ferretti said “I am proud to announce "Letters to Our Heroes" to show our appreciation for our first responders, doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers who are on the front lines of the COVID-19 outbreak. Our community has time and time again shown our ability to come together in times of crisis; this outbreak is no exception. I urge everyone to take just a few minutes to email or send a letter to be delivered to our community's heroes in the coming weeks."

Helen Meittinas, President of the Community association of Stewart Avenue said "With children and parents home from school, this is a great time to show our law enforcement and healthcare workers that we appreciate all they are doing to keep us safe. I encour-

age moms and families in our community to come together and take advantage of Legislator Ferretti's "Letters To Our Heroes" drive and show our appreciation for those on the front lines of the COVID-19 outbreak."

How to participate

From today through next Tuesday April 7th, residents are encouraged to write a note to our first responders and healthcare workers thanking them for helping to keep our community safe and healthy.

They can send these notes electronically via email to jferretti@nassaucountyny.gov, or send them to the legislative building, Attention: Legislator Ferretti, 1550 Franklin Avenue, Mineola, NY. Residents can type a letter and email it, or for children, they can scan any pictures or drawings and email them or simply drop them in the mail to the Legislative Building.

Nassau County Clerk Maureen O’Connell Said "As a registered nurse, I know exactly what it's like to be on the front lines working with doc-

tors, families, and patients in moments of crisis. I am proud to stand with Legislator Ferretti to thank our doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and first responders working around the clock to keep our community safe and healthy. These letters will go a long way towards sending our appreciation for all they do."

Nassau County PBA President James McDermott said "Our officers are oftentimes the tip of the spear when it comes to working with residents who have contracted COVID-19. I want to thank Legislator Ferretti for putting together "Letters to Our Heroes" to boost officer morale and allow the community to show their appreciation for all that our officers do to keep residents safe and healthy."

Letters will be collected, printed, sorted, and delivered to police precincts, hospitals and healthcare centers throughout the county, and the 15th Legislative District.

From page 1 at home," said Scott.

He said that when most people think of domestic abuse they picture a husband beating his wife but that does not reflect the whole picture of types of abuse.

"There are many different forms of abuse that people can experience and they run the gamut from verbal, sexual, financial, emotional and physical abuse," said Scott. "Many of the calls that we get are from victims who claim they are being belittled or physically

threatened by their abusers."

He added that it does not matter if people live in a small one bedroom apartment or a big house and that domestic abuse can take place in any setting.

"Stressful times are a particularly dangerous time for victims of abuse because when they try and leave their abuser we find that the homicide rates have gone up."

Lee Road Elementary School kindergartners in Christina Wilkinson and Nicole Bischof’s class formed a reading connection with a class across New York State on March 9. With the help of Corie Cosgrove, a teacher trainer in the Levittown Public Schools computer department, the Lee Road students participated in a video conference with Rebecca Pitillo’s kindergarten students from Holland Elementary School.

Prior to the virtual interaction, both classes read “The Mitten” by Jan Brett and researched animals from the story. During the video conference, each kindergarten class shared their favorite parts of the book and challenged each other to guess an animal from the story based on the clues that they provided.

Lee Road students enjoyed being able to see the Holland Elementary School students on the SmartBoard and worked hard to guess the animal that the Holland students described. In addition to connecting students through literature, the virtual experience was also a great way to help the kindergartners learn about different places and how others live. Lee Road students asked questions such as where Holland Elementary School is located and how many kindergarten classes are in the school. The question and answer session allowed both classes to share more about how they live in real time and form a bond through distance learning.

Connected through coding at Abbey Lane Elementary School

Abbey Lane Elementary School fifth graders in Krista Beasley’s class took their coding skills to new heights during a visit with district technology specialist Corie Cosgrove on March 2. The class was the first in the Levittown Public Schools to use laptops to code a pocket-sized robot known as an Ozobot Bit. While working in groups of two, Cosgrove guided the students through the coding program on OzoBlockly.com.

Each group received their own Ozobot Bit and were challenged to code their mini robot to move in a rectangle shape and then spin. The fifth-graders first had to calibrate their robot with the online program before they began coding. They used block code to program their Ozobot Bit to move in different directions and even change colors. It was a great lesson to get students familiarized with coding.

Let us guide you on what items to put in auction including furniture, housewares, decorative items, jewelry, collectibles, coins, artwork and anything else you may no longer want or need. Our services can help you to maximize your selling experience whether you are selling 1 item or 500 items.

We are a one stop service for all your needs when you are moving or selling a property! Selling, donating, discarding and cleaning out services can be done to meet your time frame with minimal stress.
