Free Property Tax Assessment Grievance Workshop Town of Oyster Bay Receiver of Taxes Jeffrey Pravato will host a free Property Tax Assessment Grievance Workshop for residents looking to acquire information on how to challenge their 2023-2024 property tax assessments.

The workshop will be held in-person on Tuesday, February 15th, at 10am at Oyster Bay Town Hall, located at 54 Audrey Avenue in Oyster Bay. “While Nassau County determines your value, we in Town government want to make sure you know that you have a right as a homeowner to challenge your assessment.

Remember, your assessment can only be lowered as the result of a

challenge – it can never be raised – and this workshop helps you challenge for free,” said Receiver of Taxes Pravato. “If you are a homeowner who disagrees with the assessed value of your property, I invite you to attend this Property Tax Assessment Workshop, as the property tax grievance deadline of March 1 is approaching.”

In January, Nassau County notified residents of their home’s tentative assessed value for the 2023/2024 school tax period and the 2024 general tax period. Any residents who did not receive the notice may view it online at www.mynassauproperty. com or contact their County Legislator.

At the workshop, Receiver of Taxes Pravato will answer questions and show residents how to use online tools to file an “Application for Correction of Assessment” online or via mail. There is no requirement to pay a law firm or agency to file a grievance. For those unable to attend the workshop, Receiver of Taxes Pravato offers an online video at www.oysterbaytown.com/ grievancevideo.

For more information on the Free Property Tax Grievance Workshop, please call (516) 624-6380.

Seaford Seniors Earn National SCOPE Awards Demonstrating both academic success and leadership skills, two seniors were recognized for their positive contributions to Seaford High School.

Peter Koubiadis and Natalie Villecco were presented with the SCOPE National School Development Council Award for Academic Growth and Student Leadership in Learning.

Peter and Natalie were nominated by Principal Nicole Schnabel and Assistant Principals Jennifer Bisulca and Dr. Raphi Morey. They were honored at the Jan. 19 board of education meeting.

It is in the arts where Peter has focused much of his attention, having taken numerous art classes during his four years of his high school. He is copresident of the National Art Honor Society and a member of the Mural Club, and was named “most artistic” in the senior superlatives. With aspirations to be a graphic novelist, Peter plans to study fine arts in college, with a possible minor in

English.

He has also challenged himself with some of Seaford High School’s most rigorous courses. Since 10th grade, he has taken 11 Advanced Placement courses. Peter has been inducted into the National Honor Society, assists with the annual musical production as a member of the Stage Crew and brings his creative ideas to the Radio Club. Outside of school, he works at the Seaford Public Library.

“I’ve been relatively free to pursue the path I’ve wanted,” he said of the wide array of course offerings at Seaford High School. “I’ve had some amazing teachers that have helped me grow in all of my subjects.”

Natalie said she has enjoyed a well-rounded experience in high school, exploring multiple areas of interest and finding particular enjoyment in math, public speaking and writing. She has taken seven Advanced Placement courses and six honors-level courses.

Her leadership abilities have proven valuable as president of the National

Honor Society, president of Key Club and treasurer of Freshmen Mentors. Natalie is also as a member of Best Buddies, the National Art Honor Society and the Brackett Leadership Team, which is planning social and emotional training sessions at Seaford’s two elementary schools.

In college, Natalie plans to major in criminal justice or pre-law, with the hope of becoming a family or sports lawyer. She is also considering a degree in business or marketing.

Of the SCOPE award she said, “It’s really rewarding to receive this because I’ve put so much dedication and time into school. The opportunities that I’ve been given here have let me come a long way. My teachers have always been there to guide me and help me to get to where they knew I could be.”

Peter and Natalie both will graduate in June with an Advanced Placement Capstone diploma, symbolizing their success in AP Seminar and Research, as well as four additional AP exams of their choosing.

Super Bowl LVI is Sunday, February 13, 2022.

Few events generate as much enthusiasm among sports fans and non-sports fans as the Super Bowl. For sports fans who can’t wait to see the National Football League crown a new champion, the game itself is a must-watch event.

For those who aren’t fans of the game, Super Bowl Sunday is still a chance to chow down and socialize with friends and family.

Linda & Janet were informative, friendly and professional. Their follow up skills are outstanding. Linda was always available to answer any questions and kept us up to date on any and all progress with our home sale. In spite of these challenging times and required changes to showing our home, we were able to find a qualified buyer within 90 days of listing and closed within 60 days & best of all above our original listing price!!

Our closing attorney, Allison Muscara, recommended by Linda was also top notch! Our overall experience, "Two Thumbs Up!!" Thank you!!!

Linda Lazio has assisted me with several real estate transactions, I wouldn't consider using anyone else. She is professional, energetic and meets time frames. It feels good having Linda with you through the entire process, as she has excellent communication skills, both with her customers and with anyone working on the project. I continue to give Linda a 10 out of 10!

Your professionalism and go-getter personality is what made me choose you to represent me in my purchase and again for the sale of my home. I am just one of those customers who will always look for you when it comes to any real estate transaction. Selling my last waterfront home was not an easy task, but we got an offer in the first four days and the home was SOLD a short time after. Thank you for your time, effort and great care to get the job done.

Kevin Harrison MD FACS

Hearts abound on February 14, and few symbols (and gifts) are more widely associated with a holiday than heart-shaped boxes of chocolate are with Valentine’s Day. Chocolates became trendy in the mid-19th century when the first chocolate bar was made by British company J.S. Fry & Sons by combining cacao powder with sugar and cacao butter to make a rich, melt-inyour-mouth treat that was markedly different than the gritty and greasy drinking chocolate that was losing popularity in Europe. Within a few years, competitor Cadbury introduced the first box of chocolates. It was called the “Fancy Box” and it didn’t take long to become wildly popular.

The marriage of chocolate and heartshaped boxes seemed a natural progression, but the National Valentine

Collectors Association says that heart-shaped boxes actually predate chocolate boxes. Various heart-shaped vessels, including “betrothal pendants” and silver boxes in the shape of hearts, were popularized a century earlier.

There even were heartshaped porcelain boxes as well as ones for sewing.

Having already introduced a chocolate box, Richard Cadbury marketed the first Valentine’s Day box in 1861.

It was filled with delicious chocolates, and later could be saved as a keepsake to store special notes or other

Origins Of The Heart-Shaped Chocolate Box

mementos, according to the North American Packaging Association. Furthermore, the gift fit with Victorian sensibilities in that it was demurely suggestive, NPR reports. Its introduction coincided perfectly with Valentine’s Day, which also soared in popularity around the same time.

Giving chocolate on Valentine’s Day also proved popular in North America.

The American chocolate company Hershey’s introduced its Hershey’s Kisses in 1907, and in 1912 the Whitman’s Sampler arrived. In the 1920s, Russell Stover unveiled their own heart-shaped boxes, which today still include the “Red Foil Heart” and the “Secret Lace Heart.” Russell Stover has since become the No. 1 boxed chocolate brand in the United States.

Today, more than 36 million heart-shaped boxes holding 58 million pounds of chocolate are sold each year, reports the education resource SoftSchools.

They have become a quintessential symbol of Valentine’s Day celebrations.

PUZZLE ANSWERS:

Life’s WORC Introduces Planned Giving Program Life’s WORC (www. lifesworc.org), a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism through its residential, community and trust services, now celebrating 50 years in operation, is starting off the new year with a new Planned Giving Program. A complementary program to the organization’s already existing trust and financial services, the Life’s WORC Planned Giving Program will enable donors to create a lasting legacy that benefits Life’s WORC and those it serves, while also giving donors significant financial benefits.

According to Life’s WORC’s CEO Janet Koch, “Our donors are vital to our ability to fulfill our mission. Providing another way that enables them to help those we serve and address their financial goals prompted us to develop the Planned Giving Program. It is a natural extension of our other financial services and will enable Life’s WORC to be a better resource to both individuals with disabilities and their families, as well as a broader cross-section of the community.”

The Life’s WORC Planned Giving Program offers donors various options.

These include: gifts that use appreciated assets as a substitute for cash, gifts that return income or other financial benefits to the donor in return for his/ her contribution, and gifts payable upon the donor’s demise through his/her estate planning.

Life’s WORC Board Member Ron Aghassi, a single parent of a 20-year old special needs child who lives in a Life’s WORC home noted, “When I made the decision to place my son, Jacob, in a Life’s WORC home, I felt like a great fear was released. As a single parent,

even though I am not old and am in good health, I always worried what would happen to Jacob if something happened to me. Thanks to Life’s WORC, I no longer have that fear. When I made the decision to make a planned gift to Life’s WORC, and after consulting with my financial advisor, we chose the planned giving option that worked best for me.

It doesn’t matter what planned giving vehicle you choose to gift. It only matters that you invest in the future of this great agency that is ensuring the future of my son and the over 2,000 individuals like him supported by Life’s WORC.” To implement its program, Life’s WORC’s Planned Giving Program has a team of experienced professionals consisting of a Planned Giving Administrator, Financial Specialist and Planned Giving Attorney. These individuals will work closely with donors’ financial advisors and estate planning attorneys to ensure that sound financial decisions are made. In order to raise awareness and educate prospective donors regarding its Planned Giving Program, Life’s WORC is also publishing a Planned Giving newsletter.

For more information on Life’s WORC’s Planned Giving Program, please contact Matthew Zebatto, Planning Giving Administrator at: 516.741.9000, X-2100 or email: plannedgiving@ lifesworc.org

serving children with developmental disabilities.

Rivera first learned about these conditions from Life’s WORC founder Victoria Schneps Yunis.

Her daughter, Lara, diagnosed at an early age with severe brain damage, was a resident at Willowbrook.

When cuts in state funding caused the institution to fall into extensive disrepair, Schneps, along with other concerned individuals, picketed to fight for the rights of Willowbrook’s more than 5,000 residents. Rivera’s report, which earned him a Peabody Award, ultimately forced the closing of Willowbrook.

Schneps Yunis started Life’s WORC and opened its first home in Little Neck, Queens. Its first residents were former Willowbrook residents.

Today, Life’s WORC provides beautiful homes located across the region, from Nassau and Suffolk to Queens and Manhattan, in addition to community services, financial and trust services, and the programs and services of its Family Center for Autism. For more information visit: https://lifesworc.org. For more information about Life’s WORC’s Family Center for Autism and its Scholarship Program, visit: https://lifesworc. org/service/family-centerfor-autism/ or call 516355-9400 or email: info@ fcautism.org. For more information about Life’s WORC and/or Celebrate 50 Commemorative activities, please contact Matthew Zebatto at 516-972-6053.

More About Life’s WORC Life’s WORC was founded 50 years ago after the closing of Willowbrook State School back in the early 1970s. As a young reporter, Geraldo Rivera exposed the deplorable conditions that existed within the then largest institution in the nation

Camryn Sainsbury said she really likes the class because “it helps your brain grow.”

Ms. Maciag explained that some days students do individual activities of their choosing while others are centered around team games. The class also gives them a break from their screens as the games are “old school pen and paper,” she said.

Mr. Hayden said Good News helps students work on a variety of skills including writing, research, public speaking and teamwork, all of which can benefit them in other classes. Student Camryn Umhafer added that she likes the class because everyone is working on different projects, so she and her classmates get to learn from each other.

Brain Games is a seventh and eighth grade exploratory class taught

by Laura Maciag. Students work on crossword and Sudoku puzzles, word searches, mazes and other activities that promote cognitive skills such as attention, memory and problem-solving.

Exploratory classes are a staple of the Seaford Middle School curriculum, opening up the eyes of students to new ideas and interests. This year, an already varied selection of courses has expanded even further.

Seaford Middle School Good News introduces students to the world of journalism. They produce both written and digital media pieces, which are then posted on a dedicated page on the school’s website. Teacher Dan Hayden said that students get to pick their areas of interest to report about, with many choosing to spotlight the school’s clubs, sports teams and community service projects.

One popular feature they created is “Teacher Talks.”

Hometown Heroes Recognition Applications Now Available Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilman Steve Labriola have announced that the Town will begin accepting applications for the 2022 Hometown Heroes’ Community Recognition Program. This initiative recognizes the service and sacrifice of the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces – both living and deceased – who are current or former Town of Oyster Bay residents.

“My Town Board colleagues and I were amazed by the outpouring of support this program received in its first year by our incredible residents, businesses and local heroes,” said Councilman Labriola.

“We are proud to return this important initiative to our communities and we look forward to further recognizing our

veterans, active duty service members, and their families for their commitment to defend our freedoms and democracy.”

Banners bearing the nominated individual’s name, rank, photograph and area of service will be unveiled throughout selected park facilities across the Town of Oyster Bay in the months leading up to Veterans Day in November 2022.

Any interested individual or organization who would wish to sponsor a banner can remit $75 to sponsor the production of a banner.

No profit is made from this program. Once the banners are displayed, the Town will maintain the banners, and will remain on display until Veterans Day, where they will then be taken down to avoid any inclement winter weather and returned to the service family or their loved ones. Those

Fall In Love With Yourself

who sponsored a banner last year are reminded to submit a new application in order to be included in the 2022 season. Applications must be received by March 11, 2022.

Supervisor Saladino added, “This is an especially meaningful way to honor those who bravely and selflessly served our nation.

Together as a community we will honor the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces who sacrificed a great deal for our nation, as well as many local veterans who continue to serve our community and their fellow veterans through advocacy efforts.”

For more information on how to sponsor a banner, visit www.oysterbaytown. com/herobanners to download or submit an application, or call (516) 797-4121.
