CLEAN THE AIR YOU BREATHE

CONTEMPORARY FASHION FOR TODAY’S WOMAN

Students, staff and administrators from the Levittown Public School District collectively gave thanks to Superintendent Dr. Tonie McDonald in honor of her upcoming retirement following decades of service to the district.

As she entered the board room at Levittown Memorial Education Center for the June 8 regular board of education meeting, Dr. McDonald was met with cheers and a rain of confetti tossed by students. During the

meeting, the board passed two resolutions renaming the Outdoor Learning Center at LMEC and the auditorium at Division Avenue High School for her. Students from multiple schools spoke, thanking her for attending their concerts, plays and sporting events, for her constant support and for being a prime example of leadership, kindness and determination.

Senior members of the Division Avenue High School concert choir also performed “The Irish

Blessing.”

On June 9, Dr. McDonald was met with another surprise – a visit from New York Mets mascot Mr. Met. After taking photos with staff and administrators, they gathered outside for a game of softball with Abbey Lane Elementary School students. Students on the field were excited to meet Mr. Met and they wished Dr. McDonald a happy retirement.

Dr. McDonald officially retired on July 5 after serving as superintendent since 2014.

New Trustee, Board Officers

The Merrick School District Board of Education has a new face this year, as Jennifer Schatzman was sworn in at the reorganization meeting on July 11 at Norman J. Levy-Lakeside Elementary School. Longtime trustee Gina Piskin, who was reelected in May, also took the oath of office as she began her sixth term.

Ms. Schatzman’s son,

because they require more attention and watering than the previous plants.

In the fall, we will replant similar shrubs to replace those that were wrongfully removed.

MHA will continue to maintain the Mandalay Garden and the parcels at Bayview Avenue/Merrick Road and Riverside Drive/ Merrick Road. We will also provide continued support for activities around Wantagh including, but not limited to, the Miss Wantagh Pageant at the 4th of July Parade, the Wantagh Chamber of Commerce, the Wantagh School District, and our local businesses.

The pandemic was a great inhibitor to our “normal” way of life.

During that timeframe, MHA has not requested any dues. Members prior to 2019 are still members in good standing and we look forward to hearing from you with any suggestions on how we can continue to help make our community a beautiful and thriving place to live and raise a family You can email: thefarinellas@gmail.com, or send a note to Mandalay Homeowners’ Assoc. Inc. 2752 Riverside Drive Wantagh, NY 11793.

School. Mr. Nardo and reelected trustee Rosemarie Corless both took the oath of office.

Melissa Cmar-Grote will serve as president of the board for the 20222023 school year, with

Christine Malloy named vice president. Ms. CmarGrote and Nina Lanci will be North Bellmore’s representatives on the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District Board of Education for the year.

In doing so, they are using photos of our Mandalay Garden, our logos, and signage. This Facebook page is unauthorized in using our organization’s name and is infringing on our good name and reputation in the community, the Town of Hempstead, and Nassau County. The MHA is an apolitical organization, it does not promote our personal businesses, support or oppose mask/ vaccine mandates, or attempt to speak as one voice for the residents of Mandalay.

As earlier stated, MHA adopted several small parcels with the intention of enhancing the neighborhood. Two of these parcels are located at the corner of Bayview Avenue by Merrick Road.

At those locations, MHA received permission from the Town of Hempstead to erect piers on both sides of Bayview Avenue with an area for planting.

Lately, a member of the faux organization had their landscaper remove our thriving shrubbery and replace them with annuals, without seeking permission from anyone on the MHA board.

These plantings were not conducive to that location

By Lucy Farinella, Corresponding Secretary In 1997, the Mandalay Homeowners Association (MHA) was created as a civic organization for the purpose of welcoming new residents to Mandalay and enhancing neighborhood beautification, thus, its slogan, “For Better Comunity Living.” During our existence, we adopted several small parcels of land from the Town of Hempstead, one of which was a blacktop triangular lot located on Bayview Avenue at Mandalay Beach Road, adjacent to Mandalay Elementary School. After the adoption of this parcel, “The Mandalay Garden” was created through generous donations from members of our community.

We are so appreciative that Environmental Landscaping and Design continues to give their time and expertise, replacing spent shrubs and trees and always maintaining the Garden as a beautiful focal point of the community yearround.

It has recently come to our attention that some individuals have started a Facebook page that purports to represent MHA, which it does not.

Kinexion

IMMEDIATE OPENINGS

www.kinexion.org “Kinexion, (pronounced “connection”), is a brand new management service organization (MSO) on Long Island that oversees seven separate non-profits and provides them with infrastructure that frees them up to focus on what they do best, which is to offer best-in-class services to individuals with disabilities and progress society to a point where it embraces people of all abilities.

Last week we featured two of the seven non-profits they oversee, this week you’ll learn about two more.

• NYS Licensed Security Guards • Receptionists • Food Service Ambassadors • Housekeepers • Full Time Mechanic / Engineer

One of those non-profits is Head Injury Association, located in Hauppauge, which helps people who have suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) or who live with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities (I/ DD). More than 270,000 people in the U.S. experience a TBI every year, with more than have as the result of an automotive, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian accident.

“Our mission is to maximize potential among TBI survivors, and those with intellectual or physical disabilities, by providing the necessary residential and support programs to help them achieve our four valued outcomes: Individualization, Independence, Integration and Productivity,” said Barbara Senzel, Executive Director of the Head Injury Association. “We offer innovative and effective solutions to many challenges facing individuals with disabilities and their families.”

It also offers employment services, with Adult Career and Continuing Education ServicesVocational Rehabilitation (ACCES-VR) to achieve and maintain employment, and to support independent living through training, education, rehabilitation and career development.

Another Kinexion affiliate organization is the Center for Developmental Disabilities, located in Woodbury.

“We help children and adults overcome

barriers to living, working, learning and enjoying recreational opportunities in the community of their choice,” says Jay Silverstein, Ph.D., Executive Director of The Center. “We are dedicated to the achievement of excellence and innovation within a community based upon respect, kindness and open communication.”

The center offers a variety of diverse programs include a Children’s Day Program, which operates 12 months a year and serving children ages 5-21 who have an educational classification of Autism, Intellectual Disability or Multiple Disabilities.

The classroom curriculum covers academic subjects such as English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies, while also fostering the development of each student’s daily living skills and social skills. Computer and technology education are a part of each classroom’s weekly schedule.

The Center also launched the “Support with Dignity” initiative to enhance opportunities for individuals to live with greater independence within their communities. This initiative embraces three pillars: Respectful Interactions, Promoting Independence and fostering Purposeful, Person-Centered Activities. Through a collective commitment to best practices in the field, the Center will advance the hopes and dreams of the individuals it serves.

communities.”

Hundreds of thousands of Long Island families struggle with hunger and food insecurity throughout the year. During the summer months, there is a significant reduction in food donations to local food banks, pantries and programs. Compounding the issue, children are not in school where they can receive free and reducedcost breakfast and lunch.

In addition, the pandemic and increased inflation rate have further strained local food pantries and emergency feeding programs served by Island Harvest.

Over the past two and a half years, the pandemic has put a significant strain on the supplemental food supply chain. In fiscal year 2020-2021, Island Harvest Food Bank distributed more than 18 million pounds of food – the equivalent of 15 million meals – to Long Islanders

facing food insecurity.

That’s an 83% increase over fiscal year 2018-2019.

“While summer is often a time of plenty for most of us, many Long Island families continue to struggle to put food on their tables,” said Randi Shubin Dresner, president and CEO of Island Harvest Food Bank. “Island Harvest Food Bank is once again pleased to team up with PSEG Long Island and Stop & Shop for the second annual Power to Feed Long Island food collection events this summer to help address the needs of Long Islanders who continue to struggle with food insecurity. We are exceptionally grateful to PSEG Long Island and Stop & Shop for their caring and generosity now and throughout the year.”

PSEG Long Island also kicked off the campaign with a $1,000 donation.

Combined with the Stop & Shop gift cards, these donations make up the first

4,000 meals collected for the Power to Feed Long Island initiative. Island Harvest estimates each dollar donated provides roughly two meals.

Members of the public are encouraged to come to the collection sites and donate non-perishable food items. Collection bins and a contactless, drive-thru, drop-off option will be available at each location. The remaining food drives will take place on subsequent Fridays as follows: · July 22 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

291 West Main Street, Smithtown, NY · Aug. 5 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

1615 Old Country Road, Riverhead, NY · Aug. 19 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

95 Old Country Road, Carle Place, NY · Sept. 2 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

3126 Jericho Turnpike, East Northport, NY · Sept. 16 10 a.m.

– 2 p.m.

575 West Montauk Highway, West Babylon, NY Representatives from PSEG Long Island and Island Harvest Food Bank will be available at all locations to provide information on low-income programs and moneysaving energy efficiency options.

Island Harvest has a need for specific items, including: Nonperishable food: Healthy varieties of canned foods, such as low-sodium beans, vegetables, soups, pasta sauces and tomato varieties, tuna and chicken, rice, pasta, nut butters, olive and canola oil, spices and pet food (no glass containers please).

Household essentials: Toilet paper, paper towels, hand sanitizer, laundry detergent and dish soap.

Personal care items: Toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, soap, shampoo, conditioner, feminine

care products and shaving products, antibacterial wipes and washcloths.

Baby care items: Diapers, wipes, formula, creams, ointments and baby wash.

Additionally, information will be available from PSEG Long Island on electric service payment plans and programs, and ways to save money through energy efficiency options.

PSEG Long Island, Island Harvest Food Bank and Stop & Shop has kicked off PSEG Long Island’s second annual Power to Feed Long Island summer-long food drive. Seven PSEG Long Island Power to Feed Long Island employee ambassadors, along with anti-hunger advocates and government officials gathered at the Stop & Shop in Massapequa to donate food and money, and call on Long Islanders to take action to support neighbors facing food insecurity.

Continuing through the end of September, collection drives will be set up at several Stop & Shop supermarkets across Long Island, where community members can donate non-perishable food and essential care items. This year’s goal is to collect the equivalent of 30,000 healthy, nutritious meals for Long Island families struggling to put food on their tables. This goal recognizes Island Harvest’s 30th anniversary this year.

“We are kicking off our second annual Power to Feed Long Island campaign with Island Harvest and Stop & Shop because hundreds of thousands of our neighbors still need our help,” said David Lyons, interim president and COO, PSEG Long Island. “Last year, PSEG Long Island’s Power to Feed Long Island created a venue for Long Islanders to help fight food insecurity, and they responded with bags, carts and trunks filled with thousands of pounds of food for their neighbors.

Thanks to their generosity, we exceeded our 21,000meal goal in 2021. This year, we are proud to donate and we encourage everyone to continue to be part of the solution, because there is still hunger in every ZIP code. This initiative is just one of the many ways PSEG Long Island and our employees support our

Hampton Classic Horse Show To Host FEI CSI 5* And 2* Competitions

The Hampton Classic Horse Show, one of the country’s most prestigious hunter-jumper horse shows, will unveil new state-of-the-art all-weather footing in its Grand Prix Ring and a new schedule with FEI CSI 5* and 2* competitions when it returns for its 46th edition, August 28-September 4.

The new CSI 5* status means an increase in prize money to more than $1 million, with $410,000 for the Classic’s featured Hampton Classic Grand Prix on Sunday, September 4. New all-weather footing in the Grand Prix Ring will allow for an expanded schedule featuring the 5* and 2* as well as some new divisions.

“We are truly excited about hosting a CSI 5* and having the opportunity to expand our schedule,” said Shanette Barth Cohen, the Classic’s Executive Director. “Our new allweather footing enables us

to hold more classes in the Grand Prix Ring and our move to 5* status is sure to attract the best horses and riders from all across the country and beyond.”

The Hampton Classic will host a live discussion on Clubhouse to discuss the new schedule and footing on Thursday, March 10 at 6:00 p.m. All are invited to participate.

The footing is being installed by Travis Gould and his JTWG, Inc. It is engineered using the same state-of-the-art processes that were used for the new footing in the International Arena at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center in Wellington, Florida and Tryon Stadium in Tryon, North Carolina, both of which have received rave reviews. The laboratory design and modeling of the footing for those “UltraCompetition” arenas was done by Bill Hawe, CEO of iEquiTek, LLC, who is

overseeing the project for the Hampton Classic. The state-of-the-art processes being employed for the Hampton Classic by this team will also be used for the 2023 Longines FEI Jumping World CupTM Finals in Omaha.

“I think this is fantastic news,” said seven-time Hampton Classic Grand Prix champion McLain Ward. “The Hampton Classic has always been one of our sport’s premier events, equal to any Five Star. Now with official Five

Star status plus its new footing that has proven at Wellington to be as good as there is, the Hampton Classic will solidify its position as one of the most outstanding events in the world.”

Ultra-Competition arenas are an example of the most extremely fine-tuned riding surfaces. Utilizing lab measurements, coupled with comparisons in the iEquiTek database, formulae are developed to improve certain aspects of the peak performance. The speeds and heights of CSI 5* competitions in general make for a narrow aperture of what is acceptable, even in the best of conditions.

CSI 5* competitions may be held in the rain, yet still demand 5* levels of performance.

Bill Hawe, from iEquiTek said, “The Hampton Classic is to be commended for its all-in commitment to advancing the state-of-theart for performance, safety

and horse welfare. This helps change the sport for the better. We are very excited to partner with the Hampton Classic on this project.”

The Grand Prix Ring is the centerpiece of the Classic’s six show rings.

Longines is the Official Timekeeper for the Hampton Classic which will also be adding new divisions such as Low Adult and Children’s Jumpers, Low Adult and Children’s Hunters and 3’6” High Performance Hunters. This will allow some exhibitors who have never previously had the chance to ride at the Hampton Classic to do so. More details on this year’s schedule will be forthcoming soon.

Further information on the Hampton Classic Horse Show is available at the Hampton Classic website at www.hamptonclassic. com or by calling 631-5373177.

requirement to establish informed consent for prescribed medications.

“From the moment when Buoy’s tragic fate became clear to us, Jimmy and I began efforts to ensure that Buoy’s short life would have meaning,” said Mary Kate.

“The most important thing to us was to raise awareness about the lack of required warnings and to attempt to ensure that no other pet would suffer the way that Buoy did. And, when Jimmy himself suffered an untimely death six years ago, I continued to march on with our fight for the enactment of Buoy’s Law. Today, I am confident that Jimmy and Buoy are smiling down on me, very proud!”

Now that Bouy’s Law has passed both the Senate and Assembly it is expected to be signed by Governor Hochul before the end of the year.

Law we are making this a legal requirement so that more informed decisions can be made and potential tragedies averted.”

All for the love of a dog…

In 2013, Mary Kate Tischler and her late husband Jimmy took their beloved 3 year old Yellow Labrador Retriever, Bouy, to have routine knee surgery after which he was prescribed a painkiller to aid his recovery. Unbeknownst the Tischlers, the drug was known to have serious sideeffects on some dogs and because they had not been given any prior warning from the veterinarian, they began to administer the drug as per his instructions.

As a result, Bouy began to suffer acute kidney failure and was eventually put to sleep. Sadly, this tragedy, like many others affecting pet-owners across New York State, might have been avoided had there been a

In a unanimous vote, Senator John E. Brooks was able to pass Senate Bill S.1289-B for the 4th time since he first sponsored it. What makes this time different is the fact that its “same as” bill in the NYS Assembly (A.4978; Englebright) finally passed several days earlier after having been held up in committee during previous legislative sessions.

Also known as “Bouy’s Law,” S.1289-B requires veterinarians to provide certain information to animal owners regarding the drugs dispensed to an animal. Such information includes the name and description of the drug, the directions for use, actions to be taken in the event of a missed dose; instructions for proper storage, any common reasonably anticipated adverse effects associated with the use of such drug, and manufacturer precautions and relevant warnings.

“For most of us, our pets are members of our families and when they are sick or in pain, we want to know as much as possible about possible treatments and their consequences,” said Senator Brooks. “Since veterinarians are already provided this information, it would seem only common sense to advise pet owners as to all potential side effects of prescribed medications.

Long Island Elite Donation Provides Art Therapy Room In New Facility Assisting Families Facing Tragedy The Long Island Elite (LIE) recently joined with elected officials, community members, administration from Mount Sinai South Nassau Hospital and other stakeholders in support of its 2020 - 2021 Charity Partner of the Year, SIBSPlace, and their new 5,100 square foot facility in Rockville Centre. Through its largest philanthropic efforts to date, the LIE provided $200,000 for the development of the Long Island Elite Art Therapy Room.

“This room will provide families facing traumatic illness, cancer diagnosis and

bereavement with an outlet through the magic of art therapy,” said LIE President Frank Morizio, Jr. “It allows children of all ages a place to support their overall mental health and well-being. The Long Island Elite and its family of supporters are proud to see the hard work and effort of many, flourish in the opening of this new building and room.”

SIBSPlace, an affiliate of Mount Sinai South Nassau, provides a support network to help foster resiliency and to aid vulnerable children, especially during

times of crisis.

SIBSPlace provides families with free preventionbased services they so desperately need.

“Our New Home, one we have worked toward for the last 22 years will be a place of consistency,

empowerment, support, and comfort,” said Joanna Formont, Executive Director.

From all of us at SIBSPlace, thank you to the Long Island Elite for providing all opportunities to just be children, it is truly a place where a child matters most!”

Benefits To Cooking Your Own Meals Aging men and women may be tempted to eschew home cooking entirely.

After all, there are plenty of convenient frozen or take-out foods available that

can be whipped up in a snap. However, there are certain benefits to cooking your own meals. John Moore, DO, an Aetna medical director and senior health specialist, says

that cooking can be good for helping to stave off cognitive decline. Dr. Moore notes that, when cooking, the mind is put to use following a recipe and learning

new skills and tasks.

Furthermore, cooking for oneself can boost seniors’ selfconfidence, reassuring them that they can handle an important daily task without

having to rely on their family for meals. As long as it is deemed safe (i.e., no sign of cognitive decline or forgetfulness), seniors should be encouraged to continue cooking.
