Oyster Bay Town gets Tree City USA designation

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Town Board announced that the Town of Oyster Bay has been designated a ‘Tree City USA’ by the Arbor Day Foundation. This marks the 29th year the Town has been recognized for its commitment to effective urban forest management.

“This wonderful designation underscores our Town Board’s commitment to our environment and recognizes our ongoing efforts to protect Mother Earth,” said Saladino. “Throughout the year, we host programs and events, many of which include tree plantings, that help bring environmental awareness to residents of all ages, while safeguarding our natural resources.”

The Town achieved Tree City USA

recognition by meeting all the program’s requirements, including a tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, an annual community forestry budget and an annual Arbor Day observance. The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters.

The Arbor Day Foundation is a million-member nonprofit conservation and education organization with the mission to inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees.

DRAWING CONCLUSIONS: By Kevin Eastwood

EDITORIAL

We need a major effort to counter vaping among our young people today An estimated 28% of high school students and 11% of middle school students reported using e-cigarettes this year, according to a national survey. This amounts to 5.3 million young users, up from 3.6 million last year, despite laws prohibiting sales to those under 18.

The statistics are alarming due to vaping's addictive effects and the harmful chemicals in the vaping product that can cause long-term heart and lung problems.

The rise in addiction is not surprising given the powerful advertising influence of tobacco companies, many of which target young people.

Legislative action was required to counter the “assault” on children by vape shops using appealing flavors and cartoon character in their ad-

vertising campaigns. Many of these shops were near schools, a practice now prohibited by local laws.

The science is clear: vapes contain addictive ingredients that can harm various parts of the body. Armed with this information a middle school student recently researched vaping's negative impacts and launched a campaign to inform and empower her classmates. This initiative has been adopted by the Babylon Town which is working with not for profits in raising funds to place vape detectors in local schools.

We hope to see this program adopted throughout Long Island. Many negative forces impact young people today, affecting their lives and their futures. This issue deserves a full and concerted effort to address.

PUBLIC COMMENTARY

It is a national obligation to protect veterans' access to mental health treatments

By Anthony J. Principi As a nation, we have a sacred duty to support the men and women who put their lives on the line to defend our freedoms. That responsibility doesn't end when their service does. Once military members return home, we must ensure they have the health care they need to live their best lives -- including treatments for mental health conditions.

Bipartisan majorities in Congress have made a priority of this issue, notably with their overwhelming support for the Commander John Scott Hannon Veterans Mental Health Care Improvement Act of 2019.

Unfortunately, though, a single provision in the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act threatens to undermine this progress. The law is inadvertently discouraging the development of next-generation psychiatric medications that could benefit countless veterans. The good news is that an easy, bipartisan fix is now in the works.

Mental health challenges remain heartbreakingly

Anthony Ventiera, former president of the Massapequa Chamber of Commerce and doo-wop singer with “Time Was”, at 80

By Christie Babirad Anthony (Tony) Ventiera, former president of the Massapequa Chamber of Commerce and doo-wop singer who performed at many of Massapequa’s street fairs and founded Tony V Productions, died on May 8, 2024. He was 80 years old.

Mr. Ventiera was born in Brooklyn on December 22, 1943 to Angela and Carmine Ventiera. He attended Queen of All Saints High School in Brooklyn and received his master’s degree from St. John’s University.

Mr. Ventiera married Mary Ann Tufarelli on July 29, 1967 and two years later they moved to North Massapequa. They had two daughters, Christine and Michele.

Mr. Ventiera worked as a Human Resources Director at the Research Foundation of CUNY for over 20 years and then for TNT Express Worldwide as their Human Resources Director for five more years. In addition to his work, he was also active in the Massapequa community. He became president of the Massapequa Chamber of Commerce and The Columbus Lodge #2143, Order of the Sons of Italy in America.

Chamber members remember him as a hard worker with a dedicated passion for volunteerism and as someone who was

honest, kind and selfless. In a notice sent out to the community and its members, the Massapequa Chamber of Commerce said that they will not be the same “without.

Mr. Ventiera’s steadfast optimism, endless wisdom and playful humor.”

Long-time friend, Sal Polito said that Mr. Ventiera was also a great supporter of veterans despite not being one himself.

“At the conclusion of affairs, dances and public gatherings, he would always let me or any other veteran hold the flag and walk around the venue while he and his band would play a patriotic song as we were saluted by all in attendance,” said Polito. “I will always cherish those moments as long as I live. God bless you, Tony V. You surely are missed.”

As a doo wop singer, he and his band, “Time Was,” were well known throughout Long Island having played at many public events.

“He did a lot of work with the street fairs and ran many of them,” said his daughter Michele. “He was very involved and loved music.”

His daughter Christine added that he would arrange the sound systems for other

bands as well.

His greatest impact, however, was as a father, and his daughters both recall their dad’s devotion. “He was a great dad,” said Christine. “He was very loving, caring and smart, and he helped in every way that he could, whether it was with homework or career decisions.”

What also stands out to both Christine and Michele was their dad’s passion for the New York Islanders.

“He raised us to be really good Islander fans,” said Christine.

Michele added that he loved hockey and that they would go to games together as they always had a season ticket for the Islanders.

In his free time, in addition to music, Mr. Ventiera enjoyed family vacations to Lake George. “Lake George was a really big part of our lives,” said Christine. His daughter Michele added that he also loved boating and fishing off the Great South Bay. “We grew up on the water and he was such a devoted father who would do anything for everybody,” said Michele adding that he loved his grandchildren and was a caring father who truly looked out for his two girls.

Anthony Ventiera is predeceased by his parents, Angela and Carmine

Anthony Ventiera Ventiera, and his brother Vincent.

He is survived by his wife Mary Ann, his daughters Christine and her husband Todd and Michele and her husband Chris.

He is also survived by his grandchildren Joseph, Alexa, Lauren and Christopher.

He reposed at William E. Law Funeral Home, 1 Jerusalem Avenue in Massapequa on Friday, May 10, 2024. A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at St. Rose of Lima in Massapequa on Saturday, May 11.

Burial was private.

Last Hope receives generous donation from Petco Love Great news!

Last Hope Animal Rescue received a $15,000 grant from Petco Love that will enable us to provide spay/ neuter at a very price for the Pets, Pets, Pets... low dogs and cats of

by Joanne Anderson local owners in financial need.

About Petco Love: Petco Love is a national nonprofit leading change for pets by harnessing the power of love to make communities and pet families closer, stronger, and healthier. Since its founding in 1999, Petco Love has invested $380 million in adoption and other lifesaving efforts. And Petco Love helps find loving homes for pets in partnership with Petco and more than 4,000 organizations — like ours — across North America, with 6.8 million pets adopted and counting. Presently, Last Hope has cats for adoption in Petco Wantagh and Petco Plainview.

“Our investment in Last Hope is part of more than $15 million in investments recently announced by Petco Love to power local organizations across the country as part of our commitment to create a future in which no pet is unnecessarily euthanized,” said Susanne Kogut, president of Petco Love. “Our local investments are only part of our strategy to empower animal lovers to drive lifesaving change right alongside us.”

Why Pet Spay/Neuter Assistance to Owners and Caretakers in Financial Need: Since 2003, Last Hope has offered a low cost spay/neuter program for feral cats that has been heavily utilized by the Long Island public. This voucher program called Fix-A-Feral, with a co-payment of $15 per cat has resulted in the altering and rabies vaccinating of more than 12,000 feral cats over the last 21 years.

Founded in 1981, Last Hope is a non-profit organization with a mission to save abandoned and stray dogs and cats. “Unfortunately, the average cost for sterilization of owned dogs and cats has become prohibitive for many pet owners. The price increases with a dog’s weight, and a pet’s age.

We get several calls each week from pet owners asking about financial assistance for spay/neuter.

In addition, an abandoned friendly cat does not qualify for our feral vouchers. These cats have fallen through the cracks, so to speak. We consider it part of our mission to assist the public with ster-

Your Local Calendar of Events ilizing these cats too, “said Linda Stuurman, Last Hope president.

How Last Hope’s Spay/Neuter Grant Program Will Work: First, the owner or caretaker asking for assistance must qualify as having a financial need. These rates would be offered to individuals on disability, just social security or unemployed for at least six months.

We have four participating animal hospitals.

A qualifying owner gets a certificate with the vet information to make his own appointment and pays $50 for a dog; $25 for a cat. The pet will get a pre-surgical exam, spay/neuter surgery plus rabies and distemper combo vaccines. The owner also receives $50 toward pre-surgical blood tests, if required for a pet over five-years-old.

The pet owner would be responsible for treating any medical condition the vet finds during the examination.

The program will end on December 31, 2024, or before if Last Hope depletes all funding.

To apply for the spay/neuter assistance program go to the www.lasthopeanimalrescue.org website homepage. There are red tabs at the top of the page.

Click on “Information” tab, and the fourth choice down is ’Veterinary Assistance Program Application.”

Last Hope is grateful to Petco Love for their generosity. This grant will provide us with the needed funds to set up a pilot program so more people can afford to spay/neuter their pets or friendly cats they find and embrace. The current fees at Long Island animal hospitals are typically several hundred dollars to spay or neuter a dog or cat. The price increases based on the weight and age of the dog or cat.

The benefits of spaying or neutering a pet are multiple- curtailing overpopulation, reducing the number of unwanted pets euthanized in shelters throughout the US, preventing certain health problems in pets such as mammary cancer, malignancies of the reproductive organs and pyometras, and improving certain behavioral issues such as spraying or marking. Spaying and neutering keeps pets in their homes and saves lives.
