Local Sept. 11 responder joins state memorial

PA R A D I N G A L O N G

Volunteer EMT Bill Ryan devoted 3 days to ground zero, died in August

BY T E R I W EST Bill Ryan, a nearly 17-year Manhasset resident who responded to the 9/11 attacks as a volunteer emergency medical technician, died in August just eight weeks after being diagnosed with lung cancer.

Last Tuesday, his name was one of seven added to a memorial in Albany honoring emergency responders who died because of their service.

The state government adds names to the Tree of Life EMS Memorial annually. All of Tuesday’s seven honorees were 9/11 responders, and five of them died in 2018.

Ryan was a member of the Bay Community Volunteer Ambulance Corps in Bayside, Queens, when his company got the call on Sept.

11, 2001, to head to the World Trade Center. He was 18 blocks away when the first tower collapsed and two blocks away when

the second did, his daughter Michaela Ryan, 19, said.

He and his crew transported injured civilians and firefighters to the nearest hospitals, she said.

“I remember him always telling me about the first person he took care of that day, which was a woman who was having a seizure on the sidewalk because she was hit on the head by debris,” Michaela Ryan said.

He spent 18 hours completing transports that first day and returned for the following two, rescuing handicapped individuals from buildings poisoned by dust and pulling firefighters out of the rubble.

“Whenever we call on them, our emergency medical service professionals selflessly protect the lives of New Yorkers across the state,” Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a news release. “We honor the courage, dedication, and commitment of all EMS providers, and Continued on Page 99

BY T E R I W EST The contractor that renovated Clinton G. Martin pool in New Hyde Park and is currently in a dispute with the Town of North Hempstead filed for

bankruptcy on May 17.

The company, Wantaghbased Gramercy Group, is not liquidating, but is instead a debtor in possession meaning it can still keep some of its contracts and collect debt with

This year is the centennial anniversary of the American Legion.

Manhasset Woods Road home for sale in 2016 for $3.85 million.

He stepped down from his position as St. John’s University basketball team head coach in April. He had led the team since 2015 and had also played for it as a forward beginning in 1981.

Mullin spent 16 seasons in the NBA, joining the Golden State Warriors in 1986, transferring to the Indiana Pacers in 1997 for a three-season stint and then returning to Oakland to finish out his career. In 2011, he was elected to the Basketball

A Manhasset home that basketball Hall of Famer Chris Mullin owns is on the market for $3.399 million, said broker Catherine Matteo of Daniel Gale.

The six-bedroom Tudor sits on an acre of land in the Village of Flower Hill. It includes a guest suite as well as a windowed conservatory.

Mullin previously listed the Hall of Fame in Houston.

American Legion post holds annual parade Organizations award local students at high school

BY T E R I W EST On a sunny Memorial Day that felt like the true brink of summer, Bear waited patiently for Manhasset’s parade to reach Town Hall, adorned for the occasion with an American flag scarf.

Bear, who is, in fact, a dog, was one of many Manhasset residents who gathered along Plandome Road Monday morning for the American Legion Post 304’s annual Memorial Day parade honoring Americans who have died in service.

This year is the centennial anniversary of the American Legion and the 90th anniversary of Manhasset’s post, which currently has about 100 members, said Commander Peter Killian

at a ceremony in the Manhasset High School auditorium following the parade.

Marchers included bands, floats, community organizations and sports teams.

Members of Manhasset’s American Legion post were greeted with applause as they led the parade backed by bagpipes and snare drums, as were floats honoring local deceased members of the armed services.

It was the second parade of the day for Bill Skehan, who marched with the Plandome Fire Department two hours after Plandome’s ceremony. The fire police volunteer served in the Army in 1963 and 1964.

“Even this many years later you reflect on all the people that

have given their lives to keep our country being what it is,” Skehan said. “It’s a brotherhood, too. The military is a brotherhood. The Fire Department is a brotherhood.”

Michael Grillo, who said he has done 18th century re-enactments for about 25 years, participated in the parade for the first time, decked out as George Washington.

His 12-year-old son of the same name stood by his side on the float in his own three-cornered hat.

Members of the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary gathered on stage in the high school auditorium after marching to present awards Continued on Page 98

Feds sue Port Washington company FDA violations alleged at Confidence USA Inc. dietary supplement manufacturer

BY J E S S I C A PA R K S A Port Washington-based dietary supplement manufacturer and distributor was sued by the U.S. government for alleged violations under the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Confidence USA Inc. manufactures and distributes over 50 dietary supplements under such brand names as American Best, USA Natural and The Herbal Store.

A complaint filed in the Eastern District of New York last Thursday outlined Confidence USA’s repeat offenses of failing to operate in compliance with good manufacturing practices for dietary supplements.

The company maintains its headquarters at 138 Haven Ave. in Port Washington. It also operates a retail store, The Herbal Store, in Flushing.

Helen Chian, president and chief executive officer of Confidence USA, was named a defendant in the lawsuit.

The government contends Confidence USA has failed to conduct appropriate testing to

Port Washington-based dietary supplement manufacturer was sued by the Justice Dept. for FDA violations. verify the ingredients used in a number of its products and failed to verify the presence of all dietary ingredients in the finished product.

The U.S. Department of Justice alleges that testing results for finished products manufactured between March 2016 and October 2017 revealed compo-

nents that did not meet specifications.

“These failures demonstrate the inadequacy of defendants’ rotational testing plan,” the complaint states. “Defendants do not have scientifically valid support for their rotational testing plan to ensure that it is appropriate for its intended use.”

Other violations detailed in the complaint include Confidence USA’s failure to establish various guidelines regarding the composition and strength of finished batches of dietary supplements, quality control and laboratory control procedures that are reviewed and approved by quality control personnel.

Efforts to reach Confidence USA were unavailing.

A number of the violations were observed at multiple Food and Drug Administration inspections, which were conducted in 2010, 2012, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

Last year, the inspection was conducted between July 5 and Aug. 10 and investigators documented a number of significant violations that were the same as those recorded in previous years, according to the complaint.

The lawsuit was filed in the belief that the defendants will continue to violate the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act “unless restrained by this Court.”

The federal government wants Confidence USA to cease all operations until it applies practices that are compliant with federal regulations and authorization for the FDA to inspect its place of business and all records.

The company is required to bear the costs of the inspection.

The federal government also seeks reimbursement of the costs accrued from the lawsuit, should the judge rule its favor.

LIRR records 95.3% on-time rating MTA’s April performance highest in years; subways reach 79.8%, highest since 2013

BY JA N E LL E CL AUSEN

On-time performance for the Long Island Rail Road and New York City subways continues to improve, new Metropolitan Transportation Authority statistics show, with on-time ratings rising to levels not seen in more than five years.

Subway on-time performance for April reached 79.8%, according to the MTA, the highest level since October 2013.

The LIRR meanwhile recorded a 95.3% on-time rating for April, the highest since 2012, driving this year’s on-time rating so far up to 93.7%.

A train is considered on time if it arrives within six minutes of its scheduled time.

“Month after month we’re making progress in giving our customers the system they deserve, allowing them to spend less time in transit and more time with family, friends and at their careers,” MTA Chairman and CEO Patrick Foye said in a statement last Sunday.

Foye said the improvements

LIRR Forward plan, which has included switch upgrades, track circuit upgrades, installing high visibility safety delineators and hardening LIRR infrastructure.

Andy Byford, the president of NYC Transit, also said in a statement that the improvements could be credited to increased investments in infrastructure and the workforce. He also highlighted the Save Safe Seconds campaign and Subway Action Plan, both implemented in 2017.

The Subway Action Plan calls for more than $800 million in investments to stabilize and upgrade the subway system through signal and track maintenance, improving train car reliability, and other work.

The Save Safe Seconds plan, meanwhile, focuses on fixing PHOTO BY NOAH MANSKAR malfunctioning signal timers and increasing the speed of subway trains.

A Long Island Rail Road train pulls into the East Williston station on the Oyster Bay branch.

“Despite these gains, I believe the best is yet to come as could be credited to “an extraor- state and city,” but noted there is have a long way to go,” Foye said. we continue to improve our opdinarily able team heading our still a ways to go.

County officials vote to ban Styrofoam Legislation prohibits Nassau businesses from distributing, selling polystyrene containers

BY J ES S I C A PA R K S Nassau County legislators passed a bill last week to prohibit county businesses from distributing or selling polystyrene foam containers.

The material has been classified as a possible carcinogen and its nonbiodegradable material has led to large quantities of hazardous waste and environmental pollutants.

The legislation was passed 19-0, and County Executive Laura Curran said she will sign it into law.

The ban is to go into effect on Jan. 1, which gives business owners just over six months to deplete their reserves of the containers, known under the trademark Styrofoam, before they will be fined up to $2,500 for their use.

The money from fines will be allocated toward environmental investiga-

“I thank Legislators Ford and Schaefer for allowing me to cosponsor this important initiative, and I am hopeful that we will continue to work together to implement environmentally friendly alternatives to other wasteful single-use products that frequently become litter in our communities and our precious waterways,” Mule said in a statement.

Similar legislation has already been passed in New York City and neighboring Suffolk County.

“We’ve heard about the dangers of polystyrene foam for years now, and it’s time we take action,” Schaefer said.

“These containers pollute our environment and clog our waterways. Enough is enough.”

Penalties for stop work order violations Town of North Hempstead OKs fines after 17 years without clearly outlined punishments

The Town of North Hempstead added penalties to its stop work orders with a resolution at a Town Board meeting last Tuesday after going 17 years without clearly outlined punishments for ignoring such orders.

According to the resolution, the board has found it “imperative” to implement penalties for violations of stop work orders because contractors, corporations and homeowners “often times ignore stop work orders” issued by the Building Department.

Town code regarding stop work orders, which are issued when a project is not in compliance with code or being built “in an unsafe or dangerous manner,” was last amended in 2002.

It allows the building commissioner to notify the property owner, owner’s agent or whoever is doing the work to stop until the order has been

rescinded. There were no penalties in the code, however, for ignoring a stop work order.

Carole Trottere, a spokeswoman for North Hempstead, said the building commissioner requested a fine structure be created. The town averages one to three stop work orders per week.

A contractor or property owner now faces a fine ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 on the first offense, $5,000 to $10,000 for a second offense, and a fine of $10,000 to $20,000 for the third offense and beyond. They could also face up to 15 days in jail for any of these offenses.

“Stop work orders are never issued lightly. They are issued for health and safety reasons,” Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth said. “The fine structure to our building code will now give stop work order violations more bite. We believe that these fines will act as a deterrent to anyone who thinks about continuing work after being issued a violation.”

Blank Slate Media moves to new office

Blank Slate Media is moving up – literally.

Blank Slate Media, a chain of weekly newspapers covering the North Shore of Nassau County, moved into a new office in Roslyn Heights last Monday after several years in a basement office at 105 Hillside Ave. in Williston Park.

The new office, located on the second floor of the 25 Red Ground Road office building, features a larger open space blanketed in natural light from big windows and a conference room. It is accessible by both a stairwell and an elevator.

Steven Blank, the publisher and editor of Blank Slate Media, said he appreciated the old space, but the company has grown out of it and the new space will help the staff continue producing quality newspapers.

“It was bittersweet moving from the place where we got the company going – there was so much history there and we enjoyed so much success and growth,” Blank said. “At the same time, I think this will be helpful for us. It’s a better environment for us to produce a quality newspaper, so I think the move will be very good for us and our readers.”

The newspaper chain started in Williston Park by publishing three editions in March 2010: the Great Neck News, New Hyde Park Herald Courier and Williston Times. It has since grown to include the Manhasset Times, Roslyn Times and Port Washington Times.

Blank said the move and success of the papers would not have been possible without the support of the communities the staff seeks to cover, as well as business leaders who helped with the actual moving and Bradley Diamond, a Great Neck real estate broker, who found the space.

“At a time when a lot of people are

talking about newspapers not doing well, and there are many that fall in that category, there are businesses like us that are focusing on the fundamentals of quality journalism, particularly in the area of community journalism,” Blank said.

“I wouldn’t consider adding the expense and going through this unless I thought that we had a bright future,” Blank added. “And certainly the support that we’ve received made this possible and encourages me that we’ll have continued success going forward.”

Jessica Parks, the Port Washington Times reporter, said the new office is definitely a plus.

“It’s really so nice to come into a bright office in the morning that’s filled with natural light,” Parks said.

Stacy Shaughnessy, who has worked in the ads department since October 2010, said she could remember when Blank Slate Media was contained in one room. It was still a nice space because of the people, she said, but the new space is simply “refreshing.”

“It’s breathtaking,” she added.

Rose Palacios, a production manager who has worked at Blank Slate Media since late 2010, also said the old office served the staff well when there was a smaller staff and fewer papers to produce.

But having a larger office fits the production staff better and reflects how the company is growing, Palacios said, and will be good for collaborating with other departments and welcoming community members into the space.

“I don’t think we could have found a better location as we look forward to this next exciting chapter in the history of Blank Slate Media,” Palacios said.

Blank Slate Media can still be reached by calling 516-307-1045, emailing news@theislandnow.com and via fax at 516-307-1046.

Northwell awards athletic trainers

The National Athletic Trainers Association (NATA) has recognized Northwell Health’s STARS Rehabilitation athletic trainers at four high schools with its Safe Sports School Award. Certified athletic trainers at just 22 schools across New York State received NATA honors.

Two-time winner Michael Gonzalez (North Shore High School) along with fellow Northwell trainers Calogero Curcuru (West Hempstead High School), Christopher Schrager (Oyster Bay High School) and Sierra Wilde (Seaford High School) each earned the NATA’s Safe Sports School Award while providing coordinated care to teenaged athletes, the lone winners in Nassau County. Mr. Gonzalez also won in 2016. The designation is renewable again in 2022.

“The fact that our program has been able to help certify four of the eight high schools in the metro New York area

with the safe sports school designation speaks volumes to the value we place on student-athlete safety,” said Daniel Vaknin, vice president of Northwell Health’s Outpatient Therapy Network.

The Safe Sports School Award recognizes secondary schools around the country that take the crucial steps to keep their athletes free from injuries. These steps include coordinating pre-participation physical examinations, facilitating injury intervention as well as developing injury and illness prevention strategies.

The trainers will be recognized during the Section Eight Athletic Trainers meeting June 4 at Nassau BOCES in Garden City.

Clinton G. Martin Park’s renovated pool is the centerpiece of a dispute between the Town of North Hempstead’s commissioner of public works and Gramercy Group.

NHP pool contractor declares bankruptcy Continued from Page 1 for aspects of the pool project it alleges are incomplete. The town’s total debt to the company is closer to $2.7 million because of the contract balance and changes Gramercy Group was ordered to complete beyond the contract, McKennon said.

There is “no question [Gramercy Group] will” seek to regain the full debt the Town of North Hempstead owes, the lawyer said.

“That’s not up for discussion,” McKennon said. “The major difference is that the decision will be rendered in bankruptcy court.”

The combination of payment withheld for the pool, and an “adverse judgment” in a lawsuit Gramercy Group has been engaged with since 2016 led to the bankruptcy filing, he said.

Gramercy Group sued Hawaii-based D.A. Builders three years ago, and the suit is now in a confidential settlement stage, said Gramercy Group’s general counsel, Marie Ann Hoenings.

Just weeks before Gramercy Group declared bankruptcy, the Town of North Hempstead’s public works commissioner sent a letter to the company informing it that the town planned to declare it in default. The commissioner, Paul DiMaria, listed projects that he said had to be complete on April 24, 2018, that remain in-

complete.

“Due to the recent news that Gramercy Group has filed for bankruptcy, the Town is legally prohibited from moving forward with its default action against the company at this time,” Town of North Hempstead spokeswoman Carole Trottere wrote in a statement.

Gramercy Group sent a 20-page response to the town’s letter on May 15, addressing specific pieces of the project the town deemed incomplete. Some, it says, the company was not informed about until months after April 24. Some are already complete, the letter says.

Delays in project completion were due to mismanagement on the town’s end, Gramercy’s vice president of operations, Gregg Jenkinson, wrote.

The town has told Gramercy Group that it only has about $950,000 to pay for change orders, Jenkinson wrote. The total amount owed for those is $1.5 million, McKennon said.

“The real reason for your letter is transparent,” Jenkinson wrote. “Not one of the issues, that you now say are so important, was raised prior to the Pool Opening. Instead, the issues in dispute were raised only after Gramercy was told that the Town had ‘funding issues.’”

The Town of North Hempstead declined to comment on the letter.

Opinion

OUR VIEWS

Time for Facebook to face the music

L

ast week a video was published on Facebook and other social media networks that appeared to show that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was drunk or crazy.

The video was viewed millions of times and shared by among others Rudolph Giuliani, President Trump’s personal lawyer. Trump later tweeted “PELOSI STAMMERS THROUGH NEWS CONFERENCE.” It was not an unexpected response to Pelosi’s call for our prayers for Trump and an intervention by friends and family after the president abruptly left a meeting with her and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer intended to discuss aninfrastructure plan.

But there was a problem. The video was fake. And not even a good fake.

It was easily and quickly determined that the video was subtly slowed down and then pitchcorrected to create the appearance that Pelosi was drunk or incapacitated. The release of the original video shows Pelosi speaking in a normal manner.

YouTube removed the fake video – after it amassed thousands of views. Twitter and Facebook did not, although Facebook eventually added “fact check” links to the clips.

Responding to fierce calls to remove the video, Facebook defended its decision to leave the video up.

“We think it’s important for people to make their own informed choice for what to believe,” said Monika Bickert, a company vice president. “Our job is to make sure we are getting them accurate information.”

Huh? This response would be troubling enough had the Mueller investigation not found that Russia’s Internet Research Agency used

Facebook to spread false and inflammatory information to 126 million people to influence the last presidential election on behalf of Trump.

Or that Facebook had removed more than 3 billion abusive, fake accounts from October to March – leaving the question of how many abusive, fake accounts they missed.

But what makes Facebook’s response even more frightening is its role as a news source for Americans.

A Pew Research study updated in December 2018 shows that 68 percent of Americans still get their news from social media.

And Facebook is by far the No. 1 source of this news with 43 percent of Americans getting their news on Facebook and Facebook subsidiaries – Instagram and WhatsApp – at 8 percent and 2 percent.

This is an unprecedented concentration of power in the hands of a private company. Just imagine if one company owned 53 percent of what is broadcast over television.

We are not sure whether to be worried, relieved or both by the fact that the study also found that 57 percent of social media news consumers expect the information they receive there to be “largely inaccurate.”

Despite being a source of news for more than 35 percent of Americans and earning $16 billion in advertising in the last quarter, Facebook usually does not call itself a media company, arguing instead that it is a tech platform.

This is an important distinction.

Under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which was intended to spur innovation and encourage start-ups, Facebook and social media companies – unlike newspapers and broadcasters – cannot be liable for content users’

posts on their sites.

This is why the fake Pelosi video can remain on Facebook and Twitter, but would never be broadcast or be published by a newspaper.

It also helps explain another frightening trend in news – the decline of newspapers.

Since 2004, 1,800 newspapers have closed entirely, according to a University of North Carolina Study.

The result is that one of five Americans live in a “news desert” with little or no access to reliable local media.

And in many places, newspapers are “ghosts” of their former selves with far few employees.

Between 2008 and 2017, newsroom employment dropped by 23 percent, according to the Pew Research Center. Already this year, more than 2,000 media jobs have been lost.

Numerous studies show that the absence of newspapers invites bad behavior by both public officials and private companies.

Oddly enough, a Pew study found that 71 percent of Americans believe their local news outlets are doing “very” or “somewhat” well financially.

It is true that newspapers, especially those published weekly, are generally doing better on Long

Island. But it is not easy going for any of us.

Especially when we have to hire people who actually go out and gather the facts and others who make sure what we publish is true.

Adding insult to injury, Facebook does not pay for its content.

Consumers, including newspapers, post for free and in the case of newspapers after paying staff to report and edit.

A number of solutions have been proposed in response to complaints about Facebook and other social media companies starting with treating them as publishers rather than technology companies.

Todd Smith, a newspaper publisher in Vermont, recently offered what seemed to offer Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg a fair deal.

“He just needs to adhere to the same publishing guidelines we do: No obscenity; No fighting words; No defamation; No child pornography; No perjury; No blackmail; No incitement to violence; No true threats; No solicitations to commit crime,” Smith said.

It’s hard to argue that a company that made $16 billion in advertising revenue in the last quarter is not a media company.

And even Facebook has made the argument when it suited its pur-

poses.

In a lawsuit filed by an app startup, which alleged that Facebook developed a “fraudulent scheme” to exploit users’ personal data, Facebook argued last year that its decision about “what not to publish” should be protected because it is a “publisher.”

Time for Congress to settle the argument.

Chris Hughes, a co-founder of Facebook, recently called for breaking up Facebook, arguing that “because Facebook so dominates social networking, it faces no marketbased accountability.”

Hughes noted that the company is worth $500 billion and by his estimate receives 80 percent of the world’s social networking revenue.

There was once a guy around here by the name of Theodore Roosevelt who led the charge against concentrations of wealth and markets. They even named Nassau County’s government office building after him. So who knows.

But that is not something that’s going to happen soon.

In the meantime, we hope people bothered by the real fake news found on social media will appreciate and support the people who work hard to present the facts in their own communities.

KREMER’S CORNER

Trump drags country lower and lower

T

en years from now, after many of the American history books have been updated, historians will be holding seminars to do a postmortem on the administration of President Donald J. Trump. The attendees at those events will be former Trump administration officials and dozens of people who had served during the Trump presidency. No longer employed

by Trump, they will be free to tell their stories about serving one of the most unpredictable presidents in recent history, unless Citizen Trump attempts to block their living testimony.

Almost all of us know how Donald Trump got to the White House. As a television star followed by millions of Americans, Trump was able to ride that visibility into the Oval Office. The story of the 2016 campaign is a simple one. A well-known real estate developer captured the imagination of enough people, including Russian leader Vladimir Putin, to help him defeat his opponent, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. From that point

on, it is clear that as president Trump broke every rule that was followed by previous presidents.

The most recent past president to whom Trump could be compared is the late Richard Nixon. Nixon got to the White House with the support of many of the same people who elected Trump. The Republican Party under both presidents looked pretty much the same at the time they took office. Nixon eventually lost the backing of his party, but Trump has succeeded in turning a whole political establishment into a bunch of sycophants, at least for the short term.

Nixon left office under the cloud of possible impeachment.

No one knows yet whether the current president will leave office a winner or be forced out of office. But there is no doubt that this presidency is the most mystifying one in recent times.

Donald Trump had all the potential to have been a major success during his tenure. He could have successfully pushed through a major infrastructure bill, pro-

JERRY KREMER Kremer’s Corner

tected the health coverage of millions of Americans, made serious headway in the battle against global warming and could have gotten both political parties to agree to programs that would have made him a great champion of the common people.

But whether Mr. Trump serves four years or eight years, his presidency will be remembered as the most divisive experience in the past century. He

will leave office with a bitterly divided country, years of litigation over the powers of the Congress and the executive branch and thousands of regulations that will for decades diminish the quality of life of millions of Americans born and unborn.

Those who benefited from his tax program will cheer him on to their dying days, but the vast majority of our citizens have been robbed of benefits that previous presidents of both parties fought to preserve. The now hollow Republican Party will have left America with trillions of dollars in deficits and our cherished Social Security and Medicare programs will be under assault in order to pay for long-term tax breaks for corporate America and deep pocket donors.

Students of history will be attempting to figure out how a president who enjoyed a booming stock market and low unemployment, continued to be rejected by a majority of the voting public. Advocates for women’s rights will point to his tenure as

one of the worst periods in the history of their movement and will be struggling to undo countless laws that diminished their earning capacity and personal freedom. Immigrants desperately seeking a new life in America will be hampered by judges in countless courts who have little or no compassion for the lesser people.

Of all the mysteries of the Trump administration, none is worse than trying to unravel the reasoning behind his attempts to undermine the rule of law and denigrate people of all colors and races. Many of the personal character traits of this president were in no way visible when he chose to run for the highest office in the land. But with every passing day he takes his country and the level of discourse and drags it deeper and deeper into the gutter. Some future generations will no doubt sing the praises of the Trump years, but the historians will eventually be the ones who will tell us how deeply America had descended into a political abyss.

A LOOK ON THE LIGHTER SIDE

Beware of the phone-y girlfriend

I

’m having a bit of a problem with my husband — or to be more precise, with his girlfriend, Vera.

Before you start getting worried, I should probably explain that “Vera” is just my name for his phone-based navigational software.

My problem is he listens to her instead of to me, at critical moments in our relationship.

Take, for instance, the critical moment that occurred on a recent drive back home to Long Island from North Carolina.

We were just south of Washington, D.C., approaching a big messy interchange with minimal signage.

I had a simple suggestion.

“Why don’t we just get on the Beltway, then take I-95 north until we reach the New Jersey Turnpike?

Like we usually do?”

But my husband had other ideas. Or rather his little friend Vera did. She pointed us toward “Intersection of I-395/I-195/Route 50 South.” At least I think that’s what she said.

I took out my own phone and

tried frantically to figure out what Vera was talking about, before it was too late.

“Why is she saying that?” I snapped at my husband. “Route 50? South? We just came from there — why ever would she send us back?”

Not to mention that as an even-numbered highway Route 50 doesn’t even go south; it heads either east or west, to Ocean City or, for all I know Death Valley.

Where’s the big paper atlas when you need one? Oops! I had left it home, and had no reliable backup to work with.

But no matter what you looked at, heading south on anything just sounded wrong.

“So,” I gently asked my life’s partner, “Are you going to listen to Vera’s crazy plan? Or to your wife?”

It was a fair question.

Never mind that in the past, when he has obeyed my hastily barked-out directions, we have occasionally been known to end up crossing back under the Hudson River to the side whence we came — or over the Brooklyn Bridge

JUDY EPSTEIN

A Look on the Lighter Side likewise — or experiencing some other debacle of navigational prowess that no fair-minded observer could possibly blame on me.

“What’s my third choice?” he said.

“There is none!” I snap. “And we’re running out of time. Vera wants you to make a decision in 50…30…20 feet!”

He took her advice. Not mine.

“O…kayyyy,” I said, “I can take a hint. You don’t need me anymore. That’s all right. I’ll just listen to some podcasts.”

“What about?”

“Oh, finding new directions — living my best life — jettisoning toxic partners — the usual.”

“What?” He almost ran us off the road.

“I’m kidding! But you should have listened to me.”

As it turned out, we never took anything “South.” Instead, at the very last second a portal opened up in the time-space continuum, and right there in front of us was the entrance to the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. So we took that.

It wasn’t my first choice, but it would do. “But don’t think I’m forgetting that you listened to Vera instead of me.”

After that, things went well enough for me to listen to my podcasts. Or, as my husband would put it, I fell asleep. That suits him fine. That way he can carry on with his girlfriend, the telephone navigator.

Everything went well, that is, until something went wrong.

Again.

We were near Baltimore, finally approaching I-95, the road I had

wanted to get on in the first place.

Except we couldn’t. A nighttime road crew had randomly closed the only entrance ramp from the road we were on, and started digging it up! No warnings, no “detour” signs…Nothing!

“So, tell me: What does Vera have to say for herself, about this?”

“Um, nothing.”

“She’s ashamed, I guess.”

“No, I mean it says ‘no signal’.”

Of course. We are lost. Lost! At the crossroads of Somewhere and Somewhere Else in the middle of industrial-looking Baltimore.

This is Not. My. Fault.

In fact —come to think of it — it is Vera’s. “You realize it’s all Vera’s fault we are on this stupid road, needing that stupid interchange, in the first place?”

“That’s not fair.”

“You’re right. It’s really YOUR fault for listening to her instead of me. But I’ll forgive you — as long as you never do that again.”

Suddenly my phone started working, and I was able to navigate. And a happy trip home was had by all. Except maybe Vera.

Cleanup slow for L.I.’s superfund sites

L

ong Island has more superfund sites (combined federal and state sites) than any other region of New York state. Federal sites are controlled by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and state sites are controlled by the state Department of Environmental Conservation. There are currently 256 designated sites, according to the Newsday database (last updated 3-31-2017).

The cleanup process for many sites is a slow and expensive effort. Some sites are very small in terms of the land area.

Other sites can be quite large and may have multiple locations that require cleanup. Some of the newest listed sites are locations with PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) contamination.

It should be no surprise that 90 percent (231 out of 256 sites) have caused groundwater contamination. At 11 sites that are larger than 100 acres in size, seven have significant groundwater contamination plumes.

Lawrence Aviation Industries

This site, located in Port Jefferson Station, is 125 acres in size. It is situated in a residential/commercial area, near Long Island Sound. The company manufactured titanium sheet metal for use in the aviation industry. Lawrence dumped hazardous waste into the environment from 1959 to 1991. The waste was dumped in several areas on site, including lagoons and cesspools.

A substantial amount of waste was spilled on the land.

The hazardous waste included fluorides, sludge, caustic acids and halogenated solvents. Initial enforcement at the site began in 1991. Local private wells were impacted, causing nearby residents to be connected to the public water supply. A pond and creek located to the north of the site were also contaminated as polluted groundwater drained into these water bodies.

A clean-up plan was adopted in 2006. Contaminated soil was removed first and then a groundwater treatment system was begun in 2011. A groundwater

FRANCINE FURTADO Earth Matters plume extends to the north toward Long Island Sound. Various oil tanks and oil-soaked ground remediation actions continued into 2014 and are ongoing.

The decades-long cleanup (1991 to present) at Lawrence Aviation is typical of large and small sites across Long Island.

On April 16, a federal judge ordered the site owners to pay $48.11 million to cover the EPA’s clean-up costs. They were also fined $750,000 in civil penalties for failing to disclose pertinent information.

PFAS Sites Discovered on Long Island Several locations in Suffolk County have been polluted by PFAS. The Gabreski Air National Guard Base in Westhampton was added to the State Superfund list in September 2016. Nearby homes were connected to public water supplies due to PFOS contamination of private drinking water wells. Firefighting foam used in training operations at the airfield is believed to be the source of the contamination.

In a related incident, as many as 258 home wells in 2017 were found contaminated by PFOA and PFOS in a neighborhood in Westhampton near the East Hampton Airport. The Town of East Hampton and Suffolk County worked to quickly connect homes to public water while the actual source of the pollution was investigated.

By 2018, some residents initiated litigation against the manufactures of PFAS chemicals for damages due to the drinking water pollution. The nearby airport is a suspected source of the

pollution. However, the McArthur Airport in Islip was found in February 2018 not to be the source of PFOS in a public water supply well. A Suffolk County Water Authority well is 7,500 feet away from the airport. The well is now being treated with granular activated carbon to remove the PFOS. Update on the Jamaica Wells in Queens The well permit for the 64 wells owned by New York City in Jamaica expired in December 2017. Through 2018, concerned groups watched how the permit renewal process was handled by the state DEC, the agency responsible for new and renewed well permits. The answer is that nothing happened. The “no-action response” by the DEC suited New York City since the city believes it still retains its rights in the wells.

The state’s “no-action response” extended the time when it will have to decide which wells will be re-permitted and what, if any, permit conditions will be applied to the wells.

VIEW POINT

Northwell prez lacks all the answers I was disappointed with Michael Dowling, president and CEO of Northwell Health, at the recent discussion he had with Steven Blank, publisher of Blank Slate Media, in one of the series of community talks being held at the Universalist Unitarian Church on Shelter Rock Road.

I expected Dowling to have answers to solving the conundrum of providing health care to all, not just the privileged, and not just gripe about the first successful attempt at universal health care in 80 years. But clearly Obamacare hasn’t been deleterious to Northwell’s business, which has grown into one of the biggest healthcare systems in the country with 23 hospitals, 665 outpatient locations, $11 billion in annual revenues and 66,000 employees.

I expected more than a report from Ireland that a single-payer system doesn’t work because patients have to wait a long time for appointments – a finding that screams for clarification, just as he dismissed the dismal health care outcomes in the United States vs. every other industrialized nation,

which actually do have universal healthcare. And his cavalier dismissal of unprecedented declines in life expectancy in the United States, saying that gun deaths (33,000 a year) and the opioid crisis (47,000 deaths last year) factor in is another indictment of this country’s sabotage of the health-care system with foul policies. In fact, I would like to see factored out the cost of healthcare and rehabilitation for the 100,000 people a year who have to recover and possibly live out their lives with gun injuries. And what about the 26,000 people a year who die prematurely for lack of access to health care?

But if a professional like Dowling doesn’t have an answer, who would?

He at first criticized the Affordable Care Act – apparently over more paperwork and regulatory requirements. But said that repealing it without a replacement would be lunacy. Mend it, don’t end it was essentially his position, but he offered no suggestions about how that should be done.

Despite insisting that health

KAREN RUBIN View Point

costs will never go down (they just might not increase as dramatically as they have, at rates two to five times the rate of inflation), or being unapologetic about hospitals charging more for some services in order to subsidize other services, and taking the oddest position in favor of keeping for-profit insurance companies in the mix despite employing 4,000 people just to fight for payment, he said he was optimistic about health care.

That would seem to come from medical breakthroughs, a shift to tele-medicine, more use

of urgent care clinics – things that Northwell has pioneered. He also looks to more robust focus on wellness, prevention – changes to lifestyle, behavior, eating habits, exercise.

But that won’t happen if there is a profit motive.

He referred to “Pharma bro” Martin Shkreli, who famously raised the price of anti-parasitic drug Daraprim from $13.50 a pill to $750 when he took over as chief executive of Turing Pharmaceuticals and said he only regretted not raising the price even more.

And now imagine that medical science has the capability – through organ replacement, artificial parts, biogenetics – to keep people alive to over 100, but people barely earn enough to live through their working years until retirement at 70. How can people afford to live, let alone pay for inevitable health care for 30 more years?

The fact is that everyone alive needs medical care, that we tend to need most of it at the end of life, but that check-ups and early diagnosis can prolong health and

wellness, reducing medical expenses along the way, while enabling each of us to be the most productive people we can be. So, yes, everyone should pay into medical care (let’s call it Medicare) throughout our lives in a fair way (that means billionaires who make the bulk of their money from dividends, too).

The model that health care – now 18 percent of GDP – should take is that of a public utility, in the same way that we distribute access to other essential services like water and electricity, even telecommunications.

If we want a corporate health care system, we must have regulation with fair prices and fair price increases that allow for profit and good salaries to be sure, that allow for research, development, and acquisition of state-of-theart technology, but that are still within reasonable frames. Otherwise, you put a market price on life: How much is your child’s life worth? $10 million? $20 million?

It’s more like a ransom that providing a necessary service.

A fathers who wants to find his sons

N

ew York state Assemblyman David Weprin from Queens believes a birth certificate is a legal document which is important to one’s identity. Well, I agree. Adoptees in New York state are forbidden access to the original document unless they

have a court order. I believe the passage of a bill sponsored by Weprin know as A.5494, the Clean Bill of Adoptee Rights, clears the way for adoptees to know who their biological parents were and are.

I think this is important for the adoptees and their biologi-

cal parents who seek to meet.

I am one of those biological parents who want to meet my children. In 1975, while still in the Navy, my children were adopted after my wife had left us and I had no means to support them and had no family or friends who could help me.

I’m going to be 70 years old this year and would like to make contact before I pass away.

I would like to tell my sons, named Tommy and Bobby who will be 50 and 49 years old, that I still love them and think of them and would like to tell them it was not their fault they

were adopted and tell them of our family history. And, to Assemblyman Weprin, I would like to thank you for your efforts.

BBQing for cause serves up happiness

T

here’s a (not so) new tradition in town, and it’s called Karmacue. You won’t find “Karmacue” in the dictionary, but its meaning is: a rewarded state of happiness achieved while eating great BBQ for a great cause.

The Alper’s Hardware family along with 10 dedicated teams of backyard BBQers, four food vendors, musical performers, many volunteers and thousands of festival-goers established this day as a new iconic Port Washington event.

Eleven years ago, Adam Novick, fifth-generation Alpers family member, decided he wanted to give back to Port Washington in a thoughtful and coordinated way. He created

Karmacue and chose the Community Chest of Port Washington as the charity to donate to because it funds so many programs. Karmacue is a BBQ street festival with a competition component as teams of backyard BBQers smoke 1,320 portions of ribs for the crowd and vie for the title of Overall BBQ champion.

This year’s event—the 11th annual–held on May 19(always the Sunday before Memorial Day weekend) was a blast. The weather was perfect, the music

by Chuck Idol, Bach to Rock and Hat Trixx was so much fun and the food was amazing.

There is one thing I must apologize for…we ran out of ribs at 1:15 p.m. People come to taste the ribs and make their “people’s

choice” vote, and when the ribs run out, they are robbed of their rights. I know. Here’s my answer: The amazingly wonderful BBQ teams cook 23 racks of ribs each (that’s 230 racks of ribs) for all those festival-goers. They spend hours seasoning the ribs, transporting their smokers and grills to Irma Avenue and arriving by 5 a.m. just to cook that many ribs.

Simply put, I can’t ask for more.

Bareburger, The Grill Shack, Ralph’s Ices and Yummy Gyro cooked up yummy eats and each made donations to the Community Chest. Dvora Troshane of SoulShine did face painting and crafts. Falconers supplied a balloon arch; The Town of North Hempstead closed the street and provided the Showmobile for the

day. Chef Stephen White was the work judge and Robyn Croutch was the judging coordinator.

When I sit down to my desk on the Monday morning following Karmacue and I think back on the exhausting day, all that springs to mind is the conversations I had with the BBQ team members and volunteers. They weren’t just happy to be there; they were grateful to be doing their part to help the People of Port. Adam Novick puts in countless hours to make this event great and he’s thanking the Community Chest for what it does.

The teams spend days prepping and cooking and they’re thanking me.

When I am tired of all the negativity and all the struggles

we have, all I need to do is remember everyone from Karmacue — what a fabulous crowd of dedicated volunteers. What a great event! Thank you, Adam.

Not only is this a huge donation to the Community Chest ($7,500 this year), it provides much needed moral support.

Thank you to the Port Washington community and all the volunteers for supporting another fund-raising event for the Community Chest. You are examples of our motto: The People of Port Helping the People of Port.

Parents should have called JCC before cops

I

n the May 24, 2019, issue of the Port Washington Times, you have published an article titled “JCC coach charged with assaulting juvenile.” The article is about a man named Cheikh Khadim Ndiaye, a basketball coach at the JCC. I know him as Khadim, and I am baffled

by the contrast between the person I know and the charges that have been brought against him.

At the JCC, I have often watched Khadim coach kids on their basketball skills. I know little about basketball, but it was so cute to see Khadim with these kids. He is hardworking, popular

and kind. His trainees and their parents apparently like him as demonstrated by the increasing number of kids signing up to be coached by Khadim. Among his other accomplishments, Khadim received a four-year full athletic scholarship for Men’s Basketball at St John’s University.

I find it hard to believe that Khadim would hurt a kid. It appears that the parents went to the police first instead of bringing their complaint directly to the JCC. Couldn’t The Port Washington Times have tried to find out more facts before publishing this article? The con-

sequences for Khadim, and the JCC, are destructive. His lawyer is Daniel Friedman and he can be reached at danfriedmanlaw@ gmail.com.

Time for MTA to curb overtime abuses

L

IRR employee overtime and pension abuse has been going on for years.

“MTA to probe rising overtime pay” (Janelle Clausen — May 10).It has been repeatedly documented by internal MTA, Office of MTA Inspector General, state comptroller, Citizens Budget Commission, Empire Center for Public Policy audits and reports, along with numerous newspaper stories.

Recent outrage from Gov. Andrew Cuomo, his appointed MTA chairman, Patrick Foye, and MTA Finance Committee Chairman Larry Schwartz on this issue remind me of Capt. Renault from “Casablanca,” who said “I’m shocked… shocked to find that gambling is going on” while at the same time collecting his winnings.

Union leadership has out negotiated management at contract renewal time for decades.

It is evident that the MTA and LIRR do not have an up-to-date payroll system, which would flag such abuses. Supervisors who routinely sign off on overtime work hour abuses by employees need to be held accountable. The same is true for those who manage agency budgets, along with MTA board members, MTA senior management team, agency presidents and the MTA chairman.

Diogenes (an ancient Greek philosopher looking for the truth) is still searching for someone to represent riders and taxpayers who foot the bills.Asking MTApolice to serve as truant officers makes no sense. Fighting crime and fare evasion along with protecting MTA capital assets is clearly their primary mission. Besides, MTA police periodically have their own excessive overtime problems.

What’s next, will the MTA hire retired teachers to serve as part time

“hall monitors” to insure overtime is legitimate?

At the upcoming contract negotiations, will the MTA insist that future union contracts include more flexible work assignments and reduce salary increases?

What about contracting out more work to the private sector or hiring part-time employees?Will they ask employees to increase their contributions toward medical coverage (LIRR non-union workers only have to contribute 2 percent) for medical insurance and retirement pensions?

Most other public and private sector workers pay far more out of their pay checks for their respective health-care coverage.Will future pensions be calculated based on the final year’s base salary and not inflated by overtime? Talk is cheap while actions speak louder.

Why has Gov. Cuomo, Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, state Senate

Majority Leader Andrea Steward Cousins, state Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and most of their colleagues not signed on and endorsed Assemblyman Michael Fitzpatrick’s submitted legislation that would prohibit overtime payments from being factored into a retiree’s pension calculations?

You could alsouse the federal employee civil service model.Federal employee civil serviceretirement pension calculations are based upon the average past three years salary prior to retirement.

It doesn’t include overtime. Will elected officialssuch as Cuomo and otherswho depend upontransportationunion endorsements, campaign contributions and volunteers stand up against their benefactors and openly support MTA management ininstitutingthese reforms during contract renewal negotiations?

Will riders have the stomach

to put up with potential work slowdowns, service disruptions, employee sickouts and potential strikes by unions which are not going to be willing to give up these perks? Without these changes, it will continue to be the status quo.

Grading my picks on Port ed board vote

I

’m pleased that my projections of how the school voting would go two days ago vs. how the voting actually went were as close as they were. I am depressed by how “rigged” (undemocratic) the voting is, however, and over the disastrous path that our school district is leading our community down. Here are my comments on the voting. I hope that you find some of them, of interest: Since Emily Beys received 212 more votes than I had projected she would receive (see below), I have to attribute that much of the 350 vote increase to the efforts of the organized mothers. The balance of the increase, 138 votes, I then must attribute to Geisler and Young being on the ballot. Frank Russo and his PWEA organization ran a very late campaign, urging voters to vote no on the budget and to vote for Young.

However, since there were actually 52 fewer no votes cast on the budget than I had projected would be cast, I can’t credit Frank Russo/PWEA with having increased the voter turnout at all. The tally of 3,264 votes represents 14.6 percent of the registered voters in Port Washington.

It’s certainly not a voter turnout that we can shout about, but it is an improvement over the 10 percent or less turnout that we usually have. I had projected a 13 percent voter turnout, so I was very close to reality.

2. There were 2,517 yes votes cast for the budget, whereas I had projected that there would be 2,115 yes votes cast. I was very close. The difference in the yes votes actually cast, 402 over what I had projected, I attribute to the increase in the number of mothers voting, 212 (see Beys, above) and to 190 Young and Geisler voters, who hesitated to vote no. A count of 2,517 votes represents 77 percent of the total votes cast. I had projected that percentage would be 73 percent. I was darn close.

The yes percentage last year was 80 percent, which was an unusually high result, but there was no one calling for a no vote, like Bob Young, last year.

3. There were 747 no votes actually cast on the budget, whereas I had projected that 799 no votes would be cast. I think that this was some good projecting on my part. The difference of 52 votes is not worth speculating about. The tally of 747 no votes represents 23 percent of the total votes cast, whereas I had projected that the percentage would be 27 percent. Again, the small difference is not worth speculating about. However, I do believe that there’s an important lesson to be learned here by anyone opposing proposed school budgets, from the voting results that I’ve just summarized. The lesson involves what kind of an effort is required to defeat a proposed school budget and what kind of effort is

required to seat an outsider, antientrenched power school board member, on the board. That lesson will have to be detailed in another message.

4. Beys received 2,252 votes to retain her board seat. I had projected that she would receive 2,040. The difference is only 212 votes. Again, I think that was some good projecting on my part.

How did I get to 2,040 votes for Mrs. Beys? I noted that last year, Mrs. Nora Johnson, the current vice president of our school board, ran unopposed to retain her seat on the board. She received 1,653 votes last year, as an unopposed candidate. All of those votes had to come from “hardcore mothers” of the various mothers’ groups associated with our school district.

I assumed that because Beys and Deborah Abramson-Brooks were facing competition for board seats this year, that the organized mothers would work their phone banks and their child messenger services overtime to increase the number of “hardcore mothers” going to the polls to vote last Tuesday. I thought that increase would be 300 mothers. And then, I thought that Beys and AbramsonBrooks would each receive 75 votes from new voters brought to the polls for the first time this year, by Geisler. Thus, 1,653, plus 300, plus 75 equals 2,028, which I rounded up to 2,040.

5. Abramson-Brooks received 2,119 votes to win a seat

on our school board, whereas I had projected that she would receive 2,040 votes. The difference between her actual vote count and my projected vote count for her, 79 votes, is not significant enough to discuss. Again, I think that my projecting here, was very good. I projected 2,040 votes for Abramson-Brooks, the same way that I projected votes for Beys.

6. Young received 550 votes, whereas I had projected that he would receive 799 votes. Last year, 20 percent of the voters, 449 of them, voted no on the budget.

I assumed that those same 449 voters would again vote no on the budget this year and that they would also vote for Young, since he opposed this year’s proposed budget. In addition to that, I assumed that the efforts of Young and Russo would together easily produce another 350 votes for Young. Thus, 449 votes, plus 350 votes equaled 799 votes. I don’t think that Bob Young and Frank Russo together accomplished what I thought they would. As you see, my projection of votes for Bob Young was wide of the mark by 249 votes. I think that proves that projecting votes for a first-time, outsider, underdog candidate, is very difficult.

Geisler, another first-time outsider, underdog candidate, received 745 votes. I had projected that he would receive 949 votes. I arrived at a projected vote count of 949 for him, the same way

I arrived at the projected 799 vote count for Bob Young above, plus 150 additional votes, that I thought that Geisler would bring to the polls through his own efforts. Again, my projection here was wide of the mark. This time by 204 votes.

8. I believe that Young and Geisler are both well-qualified to serve on our school board. It was brave of each of them to challenge the entrenched power structure that dominates our school board and to seek a seat on the board.

I believe that the relatively poor showing by both Young and Geisler at the polls this year, proves that if an outsider wants to challenge the entrenched power structure in our school district and succeed, then the outsider must run an extensive campaign.

This would have to extend over at least four months starting in January to earn the votes of thousands of voters who never come to the polls to vote and also the votes of many voters who do usually come to the polls. It can be done, but it requires much planning, much publicity and exposure, and probably, the helpful financing of a political action committee. I know that neither Young Geislerran that sort of a campaign this year.

Ambulances get virtual interpreters Northwell Health has begun deploying a video remote interpreting service through app-enabled iPads to its fleet of ambulances in an effort to help first responders communicate in real-time with non-English speakers and the hearing impaired.

Northwell’s Center for Emergency Medical Services (CEMS), in collaboration with California-based LanguageLine Solutions, will be the first ambulances in New York State to use the technology. Monday also kicks off National Emergency Medical Services Week.

“Having this technology in the hands of our EMS providers will be a tremendous asset and will strengthen the capacity of our first responders to serve our communities each and every day,” said Alan Schwalberg, vice

president of Northwell’s CEMS. LanguageLine-enabled devices will be available throughout Northwell’s fleet of more than 80 ambulances by the end of the year, a third of which routinely operate in Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. Half of Northwell’s EMS translation service calls originate from the New York City region.

Unlike telephonic translation, which requires phoning into a call center and then passing the handset back and forth, the LanguageLine app allows first responders and patients to select the appropriate language and see an interpreter in less than 30 seconds. Text is also displayed. It’s quicker, more efPHOTO COURTESY OF NORTHWELL HEALTH ficient and leaves less room for misunderstanding, all of which Northwell Health paramedic Danielle Conigliaro calls up a are critical during an emergency intervention.

Such face-to-face interaction sets a more humanistic tone during a medical intervention, which can be scary in its own right, and gives the impression of the interpreter advocating for the patient while seemingly in the same room.

“Having the ability to quickly access a video translator while treating patients who are having difficulty communicating with us, whether in their home or on the sidewalk, will only expedite and improve the delivery of my care to them,” said Sinaka Javorovac, a Northwell paramedic.

The video translation service is already available at hospitals throughout the health system and replaces a phonebased translation option.

Winthrop hosts BOCES students Schools NYU Winthrop Hospital’s engineering department hosted nearly 30 HVAC students from western Suffolk BOCES, providing a tour of the hospital’s enormous and incredibly complex mechanical plants, including centrifugal chillers, absorption chillers, cooling towers, air handlers, and more.

The students, high school juniors and seniors from 18 different Suffolk County school districts, learned of the broad applications of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems in an institutional setting, and they were exposed to a breadth of job possibilities for the future. A highlight of the tour was visiting the rooftop for a birds-eye view of the hospital’s central mechanical plants, with the Mineola skyline as a backdrop.

“This was an important educational experience for BOCES students who’ve chosen to pursue HVAC careers, and they were an enthusiastic crowd,” said Michael Hinchcliffe, chief engineer at NYU Winthrop Hospital. “We brought their profession to life on a grand scale that none of them had ever before seen.”

More than 5,000 tons of refrigeration flow throughout the hospital’s HVAC systems, which are comprised of various water-cooled plants that pipe water chillers that are

The students, who all attend BOCES in Dix Hills, toured portions of these facilities housed internally as well as on the roof. In addition, Patrick Killeen, the controls engineering manager, showed students his “building automation system” on a laptop where, at the touch of a finger, engineering can control the temperature, humidity, and building pressurization of every distinct corner of the hospital — all in real time.

“Pressurization in a hospital is critical to safety and infection control,” explained Killeen. “Areas like the operating room require positive pressure to push clean air out, so that dirty air can’t push in.

Decontamination or isolation rooms, on the other hand, require negative pressure to contain and exhaust the potentially contaminated air, such as if there was ever a case of Ebola. Our real-time systems can show us when a door opens or closes along with temperature and humidity — at any second

of the day.”

Students also learned about the hospital’s critical power systems: NYU Winthrop has six separate power supplies. If one were to go out, it was explained to students that there’s an automated transfer switch to emergency power, and while the emergency generators are kicking in, there is an uninterruptable power supply to back up power instantaneously, filling the void so that all power-driven activities at the hospital continue seamlessly and uninterrupted.

Notice is hereby given that the annual inspection for 2019 of the Garden City Park and Hillside Grade and Manor Oaks and New Hyde Park Road school buildings of the New Hyde ParkGarden City Park School District for fire hazards which might endanger the lives of students, teachers, employees therein, has been completed and the report thereof is available at the office of district administration for inspection by all interested persons.

Submitted by the New Hyde Park-Garden City Park School District.

Cradle Con festival returns

BY G R AC E M CQ UA D E Ready to get your game on? Then head on over to the Cradle of Aviation Museum as it hosts its second annual Cradle Con on Saturday, June 1, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday, June 2, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Last year’s inaugural event celebrating comic book culture drew about 5,000 artists, collectors and fans over the course of the two days. According to Bill Herring, the assistant director of events at the museum and the co-creator of Cradle Con, this year promises even more fanfare.

“The first year out, we had such an incredible time,” Herring said during a recent phone chat about this year’s festivities. “As a matter of fact, at the very final hour on Sunday we had pretty much every vendor and guest resign up for it because they had such a wonderful time.”

Herring considers Cradle Con a “punk rock comic book convention” because it is “no-nonsense,” forsaking the bells and whistles of the larger comic book conventions to keep the focus on the art.

“What sets us apart from the big New York Comic Con is we’re grassroots,” Herring said. “We like the local artists and cosplayers … we want to keep it local and family-friendly.

We want to keep it real, essentially.”

Like last year, there will be opportunities for fans to meet and greet local comic book creators, for collectors to find rare books and toys, for cosplayers to show off their cool costumes, and for gamers to compete with fellow gamers.

This year Herring said they “hit the pavement” in terms of planning and enlisting contacts at local comic book shops.

“We’re going to have a lot more activities… a lot of children’s activities,” he added.

These activities for visitors to either watch or join include Chinese Lion Dance with Gregg Zilb on the Main

Stage, Lightsaber Training 4 Kids with Endor Temple in the Junior Hero Club, and Rocketcraft with SCLA Fandom Outreach in the Space Gallery.

The cosplay costume contest is returning. “This year it’s going to be really big,” Herring said. “We were able to get influential cosplayers to come to this edition of Cradle Con… We actually have the New York Avengers coming, a cosplay group that dresses like (Marvel’s) Avengers with Hollywood quality costumes.”

Herring recalled last year’s children’s cosplay winner, a young girl who dressed as the clown Pennywise from the film “It.” He predicted there would be a lot of “Avengers: Endgame” at this conference. “And I do think you’re going to see a lot of ‘Game of Thrones’ cosplay,” he said.

Cradle Con will also bring back the Retro Game Lounge, with video games like “Space Invaders,” “Pac Man” and “Star Wars” that Herring said are owned by the museum, as well as panel talks.

“We have Larry Kenney,” Herring said. “He was actually the voice of the ‘80s’ cartoon ‘ThunderCats,’ and he did the voice of Count Chocula,” the famous breakfast cereal character. “Last year he did all the voices. He does a talk with one of the docents at the museum… they do a riff off each other.

Then he answers questions. He talks about how he got into the industry. It’s interesting.”

Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez is another well-known comic writer who will speak at the conference. “He does a lot of Marvel comics,” Herring said. “He’s from Puerto Rico and he’s going to do a talk about Puerto Ricans in the comic industry.”

While these are two of the bigger names within the tight-knit comic book universe, Herring said they like to support local, up-and coming talent.

“I’d love to one day hear that one of them got picked up

by say Marvel or DC and they’re drawing Spider Man comics,” Herring said. “And then they say, ‘I got my start at a local convention called Cradle Con.’ That would be our dream.”

One of these local talents is Jay Stuart, who is leading a panel talk on self-publishing. “We met him through the art store Blick in Carle Place,” Herring said. “He is a really genuine guy who also teaches classes at the Art League of Long Island. It would be wonderful to see somebody like him have his name somewhere.”

These local heroes are a draw for Long Island comic fans. “When they see a lot of people they know from their hometowns being highlighted, they get excited about that,” Herring said. “For instance, Jay is from Westbury, so a lot of Westbury people come out just to hang with him.”

Another promising local artist returning to Cradle Con is Tom Travers, who grew up in New Hyde Park, moved to Manhasset and attended Manhasset High School. He currently lives in Williston Park.

The Fordham University graduate, who studied visual art and created the fantasy action comic character Battle Skull, spoke to Blank Slate Media about what he loves about comics and Cradle Con. “I’ve always been drawing,” Travers said. “I got more serious about it in middle school when I discovered comic book art. It really blew my mind — all of these incredible artists who were doing this amazing artwork and they were doing it for a living.”

“Unfortunately, I don’t get to do this full time as my career,” Travers went on to say. “When I do the conventions, I get to live the dream for that period of time. It’s cool to do the local shows because you see familiar faces. There’s a great community of friendly, positive, creative people — I wish it could be every day.”

The 151st Running of the Belmont Stakes

Saturday, June 8, gates open at 8 a.m.

Although there won’t be a Triple Crown winner this year, there will still be much equine excitement and many things to enjoy while picnicking on the beautiful grounds of Belmont Park, including plenty of places to enjoy tasty food and beverages like the Belmont Jewel, the official drink of the Stakes, the Longines fashion contest showcasing fancy duds and hats at 1:30 p.m., horse racing and open betting throughout the day with the final race at around 6:30 p.m., and a live performance by hip hop artist Flo Rida in the evening. General admission is $20 per person.

Money, power, politics, drugs, scandal, and fast cars. The incredible story of John DeLorean is the stuff of a Hollywood screenwriter’s dreams. But who was the real John DeLorean? To some, he was a renegade visionary who revolutionized the automobile industry. To others, he was the ultimate con man. For the first time, Framing John DeLorean recounts the extraordinary life and legend of the controversial automaker, tracing his meteoric rise through the ranks of General Motors, his obsessive quest to build a sports car that would conquer the world, and his shocking fall from grace on charges of cocaine trafficking. Interweaving a treasure trove of archival footage with dramatic vignettes starring Alec Baldwin, Framing John DeLorean is a gripping look at a man who gambled everything in his pursuit of the American Dream.

Should you skip breakfast while dieting?

T

he secret to losing weight involves a careful balance. The number of calories that go into a person should be exceeded by the energy expended by exercise and the normal biological functions of the body. This often involves controlling caloric intake, which can be simple when people cut back on portion sizes.

Some people believe they can lose weight by limiting what they eat and even skipping certain meals altogether. But skipping a meal like breakfast could actually have an

adverse effect on weight-loss efforts.

People who lose weight and keep it off are generally those who eat a large, healthy breakfast. In a 2017 study about meal frequency and changes in body mass index published in The Journal of Nutrition, researchers found that those who made breakfast the largest meal of the day were more likely to have a lower body mass index (BMI) than those who ate a large lunch or dinner. A portioncontrolled breakfast full of lean protein and whole grains

can help people to feel fuller longer. Breakfast can curb hunger pangs before lunch, reducing the likelihood that people will reach for unhealthy vending machine fare to tide them over until their midday meals.

The nutrition experts at Runtastic, a resource for avid runners, find that eating breakfast stimulates the body’s natural thermogenic process, which is the use of energy to store food in the stomach, transport it through the digestive system and burn energy. Furthermore, studies have shown that eating a meal in the morning boosts metabolism more than eating the same meal in the

evening. That’s because, in the morning, the meal is jumpstarting the body’s metabolic process for the day.

Eating breakfast also can have a positive impact on blood sugar concentration and may reduce postprandial hyperglycemia (higher blood sugar levels after eating) in people who have diabetes.

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends people divide their total daily food intake into four or five meals, including breakfast, over the course of the day. This provides constant fuel and will help one to avoid hunger pangs and blood sugar drops that may lead to impulse eating.

When choosing breakfast foods, certain options are

smarter than others. Look for lean proteins, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products. High-fiber foods, like oatmeal, can quell hunger pangs quickly and stabilize blood sugar after a meal.

Protein also is filling. A 2005 study of overweight women published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition showed that eating eggs for breakfast instead of a bagel significantly increased feelings of fullness and reduced food intake later in the day.

Increasing fiber intake from fruits also can create feelings of fullness and promote weight loss.

Breakfast is an important meal that shouldn’t be skipped, even by people aiming to lose weight.

This energy flows through a system of meridians. Health disorders occur when he Q1 within the body becomes unbalanced. Acupuncture ensures the smooth flow of Q1 by activating specific points along the meridians.

HARBOR FEST

DOCK DAY AND CRAFT

FESTIVAL

SUN. 06.02.19

A Blank Slate Media Special Section

Blank Slate Media is a Proud Sponsor of HarborFest

36 GUIDE TO HARBORFEST • Blank Slate Media Newspapers, Friday, May 31, 2019

Port chamber plays host to HarborFest The Port Washington Chamber of Commerce and the Town of North Hempstead will be presenting the 29th annual HarborFest Dock Day and Craft Festival on Sunday, June 2. All events officially begin at 10AM at the Town Dock, Baxter’s Pond and lower Main Street. Admission is free and there will be free parking at the train station and Manorhaven Park. The Admiral Sponsor of HarborFest is Anton Media Group.

A big attraction is the HarborFest Craft Fair featuring over 90 quality craftspeople. Their booths will be located along lower Main Street, near the waterfront of Manhasset Bay, making it one of the most picturesque Craft Fairs on Long Island. The HarborFest Craft Fair is sponsored by Blank Slate Media and Home Run Electric. Another attraction along Main Street is “Art In The Park” organized by The Art Guild and sponsored by the Sandata Technologies and Sherwin Williams Paint Store. It features local artists displaying their work in Sunset Park, along the waterfront.

They will also have a free Plein Air Workshop for all ages at 1:30PM and a free Clay Workshop for children at 12PM. Button Making will be offered throughout the day.

As soon as you enter the dock, look for the Chamber of Commerce booth near the entrance. They will be giving out free reusable shopping bags for all your HarborFest purchases and future shopping.

The Chamber’s bags are sponsored

by Scheinman Realty. Additional bags have been donated by Stop & Shop.

Everyone is excited that the 3-masted schooner SoundWaters will return to Manhasset Bay for HarborFest. On Saturday, June 1,

the SoundWaters will depart the Town Dock for a Sunset Sail from 6 to 8 pm. During HarborFest Dock Day, on Sunday, June 2, SoundWaters will set sail at 12 pm, 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm. Reservations for all sails may be made online at www. pwcoc.org/harborfestcruises. The cost for the Sunset Sail is $35 per person, all ages. The cost for the Sunday Dock Day sails is $25 for adults and $15 for children ages 5 to 12. Please note that children under 5 should not participate in the

cruises. Founded in 1989, SoundWaters’ mission is to educate children and adults about the wonders and beauty of Long Island Sound and its watershed.

There are several other ways that people can see up close how beautiful our Bay truly is. Port Washington’s Water Taxi will be available to take people on scenic cruises throughout HarborFest. For the more adventurous, Atlantic Outfitters will offer kayaking and paddle boarding!

A highly anticipated event is the demonstration of the Port Washington Fire Department’s Fire Boat. It will be moored off the Town Dock for HarborFest and the demonstrations are sure to be exciting for all the festival goers.

Many lucky visitors can catch a free ride on the picturesque North Fork Trolley, sponsored by the Greater Port Washington Business Improvement District (The BID.) The trolley will make a continuous loop from the train station to the festival area.

The HarborFest Model Boat Regatta program has Chamber of Commerce volunteers teaching third graders from all Port Washington elementary schools how to make pontoon-style boats from

recycled materials. Race Day Registration times at Baxter’s Pond are staggered for participants as follows: • Manorhaven 9:15AM • Sousa 9:30AM • Guggenheim 9:45AM • Daly 10:00AM • Salem 10.15AM • St. Peter’s 10:30AM The first of 25 elimination heats will take place at 9:30AM with the final heat slated for 11:00AM. The awards ceremony immediately follows. The Regatta school instruction chairperson is Marian Weissman. She and many capable volunteer instructors will have met with over 400 third graders at all of Port’s elementary schools to show them how to make their boats.

Bill Palafox is the Principle Race Officer (PRO) for the actual race day and responsible for the day’s operation. Other key team members are Alan Bergman, Holly Byrne, Mary Lu Dempsey-Palafox, Dave Franklin, Ronnie Heller, Lloyd Herman, Fred Hsu, Ken Magida, Laura Silver Maguire, Brigitte Mueller, Tom Scalise and Paul Schrynemakers. Additional volunteers support these key team members.

A walk through Port Washington’s history

BY LU K E TORRANCE Port Washington’s history is long and detailed, stretching back before the founding of the United States. To recount it all would seem impossible, but the Cow Neck Historical Society’s walking tours have provided residents and visitors with lessons about the area’s founding, economy and points of interest.

For those visiting Harborfest who want to learn more about the area, they don’t have to stray far from the festival grounds. The Town Dock itself, which hosts Harborfest, was originally built in the 1870s to serve steamboats. Port Washington at the time was sparsely populated and the primary industry was shellfishing (Matinecock Indians called this place Sintsink, “land of many shells”).

The Town of North Hempstead took over the dock in 1910 and widened it in 1954.

Nearby is Sunset Park, which is built on landfill pulled from the ground to create the East River tunnels. It was the Long Island Rail Road that led to the increased settlement of

COURTESY OF THE COW NECK HISTORICAL SOCIETY

One of the sand mining operations that used to dominate Port Washington. the area; when the train arrived in 1898, the peninsula had only 1,200 residents, a fraction of the 36,000 who live there today.

Around this time, sand mining was challenging shellfishing as the primary industry in Port.

In 1880, two-thirds of men in Port listed “oysterman” as their

profession. But sand mining — which began after the Civil War — was starting to catch up.

From Mill Pond to Cow Neck Road, 200 million tons of sand was excavated for use in New York City subways, sidewalks, and skyscrapers. Shellfishing ended around 1925 due to pollution and overfishing, but sand

continued to be pulled from the Port Washington ground until 1989.

The Baxter Homestead was settled next to the Mill Pond in 1741 on land believed to have been the location of a Matinecock Indian village. The structure there served as Port’s first library in 1892 and was the

home of American architect Addison Mizner; unfortunately, the house was torn down in October.

Also gone is the Knickerbocker Yacht Club, which was founded in New York City in 1874. Originally located on the Harlem River, it moved to Port in 1907 and was located at the current location of the Knickerbocker Hotel.

One old building that has managed to survive is the Bayles Building, which houses the Dolphin Bookstore. The location housed the original Bayles Pharmacy starting in 1876; in 1895, it became the first place in Port to have phone! service.

The current building was finished in 1916.

Those interested in the full tour can visit the organization’s website, cowneck.org. Tours will be held this weekend at 11 a.m., starting at the Town Dock. These tours are on the first Saturday and Sunday of each month from May through October.

Museum displays Port photog’s work

BY D E B B I E GRECO COHEN Many residents of Port Washington know Cynthia Litman through her popular blog, Mommas Pearls as well as MomTime Events. She wears many hats as a multi-passionate spiritual mompreneur, lawyer, muse, event producer, speaker and community connector. Her many talents also include being an excellent photographer with an amazing eye for capturing the beautiful things in life in all its simplicity.

To showcase just a dozen of Cynthia’s thousands of photos from her diverse portfolio, The Pride of Cow Bay Nautical Museum, which looks like a bright red tugboat located at the Town Dock, will present “Finding Home: A Collection of Photographs By Cynthia Litman.” The exhibit celebrates the year-round beauty of and activity along Port Washington’s waters and shoreline. Sponsored by People’s United Bank, the exhibit will be unveiled on June 2 as part of the 29th annual HarborFest celebration.

Be sure to visit the exhibit while at HarborFest or afterwards. The exhibit will be on display until next year’s celebration and is always “open” since the photos are viewed through the museum’s portholes and rear windows.

The Treasure Hunt is sponsored

by Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty, Mathnasium and the Sid Jacobson JCC. On the Town Dock, there will be dozens of local merchants and organizations offering fine shopping and browsing, demonstrations, activities, give-aways, services and information.

Managing your cholesterol starts with what you eat

H

igh cholesterol, particularly high levels of “bad” cholesterol, is a risk for heart disease. The Mayo Clinic says that high cholesterol also can increase risk for heart attack.

Understanding cholesterol and how to control it can help people live longer, healthier lives.

Cholesterol is a waxy substance that comes from two main sources. It is produced naturally by the liver and is obtained by eating certain foods, primarily animal products like meat, dairy and eggs. When these foods are consumed, the liver makes more cholesterol than it normally would, says the American Heart Association.

Harvard Medical School says that making certain food choices can help lower cholesterol levels. Some foods help prevent cholesterol from forming, while others lower low-density lipopro-

tein, also referred to as “LDL” or “bad” cholesterol. Some foods increase the amount of high-density lipoprotein, also known as “HDL” or “good” cholesterol. Still other foods block the body from absorbing cholesterol.

Because food and cholesterol are so closely linked, dietary changes can have a profound impact on people diagnosed with high levels of bad cholesterol. The following are some changes such individuals can implement.

Increase soluble fiber. Soluble fiber is found in oatmeal and other whole grains, flax, apples, legumes, and beans. Because soluble fiber can’t be broken down, it goes through the body and bloodstream like a giant mop, collecting bile generated to digest fats.

The fiber and the fat-soaked bile are then excreted in the stool. According to Healthline, bile is made from cholesterol, and when the liver needs to make more of it to digest fat, it does so by pulling cholesterol out of the blood-

stream, naturally reducing cholesterol levels as a result.

Eliminate trans fats. Trans fats, or those foods listed on labels primarily as hydrogenated oils, can raise overall cholesterol levels. The Food and Drug Administration has banned the use of partially hydrogenated vegetable oils

by Jan. 1, 2021.

Eat more fatty fish. Harvard Medical School says that eating fish two or three times a week can lower LDL by replacing meat and by delivering LDL-lowering omega-3 fats to the

body. Omega-3s reduce triglycerides in the bloodstream and also protect the heart by helping to prevent the onset of abnormal heart rhythms.

Use vegetable oils. Liquid vegetable oils, like canola or soybean, can be used in place of solid fats like butter or lard when cooking.

Choose low-fat dairy. Substitute the low- or no-fat varieties of milk and cheeses instead of high-fat versions.

Dietary changes can make a big difference when it comes to reducing cholesterol.

Foods that promote healthy hair and skin

M

illions of people across the globe deal with conditions that affect the skin and hair. Acne is a skin and hair ailment that, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, is the most common skin condition in the United States.

But what if the foods people eat could affect the health of their hair and skin? There is evidence that they can. Foods that contain certain nutrients, phytochemicals and enzymes may help people develop healthier hair and skin.

Blueberries: The U.S. Department of Agriculture gave blueberries its top ranking for antioxidant activity. The antioxidants in blueberries neutralize free radicals and protect people from premature aging, which can help the skin look younger and more vibrant.

Eggs: Eggs are great sources of protein and biotin, which are two nutrients that may help promote hair growth. The health and wellness information site Healthline says biotin is essential for the production of a hair protein called keratin.

Fatty fish: Fatty fish, such as salmon, are high in omega-3 fatty acids. Ciara Foy, a Torontobased holistic nutritionist, says about 3 percent of the hair shaft is made up of omega-3 fatty

acids. They’re also found in cell membranes and in the natural oils that keep the scalp and other areas of the skin hydrated.

Red bell peppers: These peppers contain more vitamin C than oranges. According to dermatologist Dr. Julia Carroll with Compass Dermatology, vitamin C is an antioxidant precursor to collagen production, so consuming more vitamin C through foods can neutralize free radicals that could damage skin.

Spinach: Trade lettuce for spinach, which is rich in calcium, iron, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, and much more. These nutrients can be the building blocks of healthy skin and hair.

Oysters: Nutritionist and author Lisa Drayer says oysters are good sources of zinc, which aids in skin cell renewal and repair.

Coconut: Coconut water is great for hydration and contains potassium, an electrolyte that moves nutrients into the cells. Coconut oil also can be used to boost hair health as a pre-wash conditioning treatment.

The secret to beautiful skin and hair may be hiding in plain sight at your local supermarket.

ADVERTORIAL

Fat Loss Using Technology As we age, our metabolism changes and it becomes harder and harder to lose that extra weight we have accumulated over the years. We eat right, work out, try various diets but still struggle to tighten and tone our problem areas like stomach, love handles, butt and thighs.

If you are doing all the right things but still have that pregnancy bump or dad bod and are struggling, there is a new modern technology to allow you to make a long-lasting change: Cryoskin.

You may have heard terms like “fatfreezing” or “coolsculpting.” But what exactly do these terms mean?

Coolsculpting is a fat-freezing method that involves attaching vacuumlike paddles to various areas of the body. These paddles suction to fat areas and cool them, eventually making these areas of your body feel numb.

Coolsculpting sessions can require you to sit with these suction paddles on your body for up to two hours and can cause mild discomfort. One treatment causes very minimal differences and coolsculpting requires multiple sessions to see results.

Since coolsculpting and fat-freezing hit the market, science has been looking for ways to improve it. The product of

these improvements is Cryoskin: a targeted slimming and toning treatment that uses the science-backed benefits of cryotherapy to naturally destroy fat cells and cellulite. Clinical studies have shown that this technology naturally destroys fat cells, but as with most techniques, the results vary from one individual to another. Cryoskin has also been proven to help with micro circulation and a significant increase in collagen due to the thermal shock that is caused by the hot and cold.

Cryoskin natural facelift increases collagen creation and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Cryoskin only costs about $1500 vs the cost for coolsculpting which can run $3,000 to $4,000. In addition, Cryoskin fat-freezing treatments are more customizable than coolsculpting. Cryoskin technicians hold an instrument that gets cold, then they move it around your targeted areas to freeze and destroy your fat cells on your stomach, love handles, thighs, arms, back or chin.

So How does it work?

During CryoSlimming, a technician will use localized thermal therapy to destroy fat cells, which are then passed through your lymphatic system. The treatments lasts for 28 minutes and are

performed manually through a massage technique. The session begins with 2 minutes of heat and then a decrease in temperature to -8 ‘C for the duration of the session. The purpose of the treatment is to lower the temperature of the fat cells enough to cause what is known as the phenomenon of apoptosis. This phenomenon is triggered when the temperature of the fat tissue is between 17 and 12 ° and causes these cells to die.

These cells are then naturally passed through the body through the lymphatic system and urine. It is easy, painless, and highly effective. Unlike coolsculpting, nearly all clients are able to see visible results after their first treatment but the best results appear from 15 days to 3 weeks after the treatment. Depending on the individual, your lifestyle and diet, the results may last several months or several years. To maximize results its important to Implement a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and exercise.

CryoFacial & Toning uses cold therapy to improve circulation, which boosts healthy collagen production. This treatment can reduce the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks over time. This treatment is 20 minutes in length, cold therapy only. The device will drop to -

2ºC this causes local metabolism and microcirculation to improve in the area of treatment, which will help boost the production of collagen eliminating cellulite, toning the area and reducing the signs of aging.

Slimming treatments can be performed once every 2 weeks and lifting treatments can be performed every 7 days. There is a physiological reason for this: when apoptosis occurs and some fat cells die, waste is formed. The waste will be eliminated by natural routes (blood, lymphatic system, and the urine). Metabolism must therefore be allowed to evacuate this waste without overloading the system. Side effects may include, but are not limited to, an increase in urination for three (3) days following the treatment, a change in urine color, itching, localized redness and pain. There are certain conditions which may exclude you from getting treatment that the technician will speak to you about.

With summer around the corner, now is he time to start a healthy lifestyle and jump start your fat loss journey with Cryoskin.

Healthy ways to build muscle naturally

R

eshaping one’s body takes time and commitments, though shortcuts can be tempting when trying to get fit. The desire to see instant results can lead some people to make potentially dangerous mistakes in the name of looking good.

There are various ways to safely build natural muscle. Novices should always consult their physicians before beginning a fitness regimen.

Patience must be part of the equation, as expecting overnight results but not seeing them may derail your fitness efforts or lead you down an unsafe path. The following are some safe ways to build muscle.

How exercise benefits your heart Boost training volume. According to Ava Fitzgerald, C.S.C.S., C.P.T., a sports performance coach with the Professional Athletic Performance Center in New York, one may need to increase the number of reps and sets, but at an intensity at between 50 and 75 percent of the person’s 1RM (the maximum weight he or she can lift for one rep). For good muscle volume, she recommends three to six sets of 10 to 20 reps.

Increase caloric intake. Find the balance between eating enough to gain muscle and gaining too much and body fat percentage creeping up. This can take some trial and error. Try to eat more calories on training days, focusing on plenty of lean protein, whole grain carbohydrates and vegetables.

Zero in on the eccentric phase of movement. Research published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology found that eccentric workouts are better at triggering hypertrophy, or the increased size of muscles. For example, when doing a squat, lowering into the squat would be the eccentric phase of the exercise. Increase weight resistance to make this eccentric phase even more effective.

Hit muscle groups more frequently.

In the 2016 study, “Effects of Resistance Training Frequency on Measures of Muscle Hypertrophy,” published in Sports Medicine, targeting various

muscle groups twice a week, rather than once, helped maximize muscle growth.

Consider a full-body routine. Working the entire body several times a week also may help one make gains in muscle growth. University of Alabama researchers followed a group of men who had been lifting weights for several years. Those who performed a full-body routine three days a week for three months gained almost 10 pounds of muscle over that time.

Fatigue the muscles. Decrease rest periods between sets to encourage quick release in muscle-building hormones.

Have casein protein before bed.

Data published in Science Daily in March 2019 found that pre-sleep protein intake increases muscle protein synthesis during overnight sleep in young adults. Lead author Dr. Tim Snijders of Maastricht University gave 44 healthy young men a 12-week lifting program. Half were also given a nightly, pre-sleep protein shake with about 30 grams of casein, while the others weren’t. The protein-before-bed group gained significantly more muscle strength and size than those who had no protein before bed.

Muscle growth comes from frequent strength training, increasing caloric consumption, taxing muscles, and being consistent and patient with one’s goals.

I

mproved health is a primary motivator among people who routinely exercise. Exercise can help people feel better about themselves and their appearance, and it has considerable effects on various parts of the body, including the heart.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading killer of both men and women in the United States,. Exercise can be one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk for cardiovascular issues like heart attack, high cholesterol and more. In fact, cardiologists at the New England Baptist Hospital say exercise is not only a risk preventative, but also a healing balm of sorts for heart health.

Exercise can help the heart become more efficient and more capable of pumping blood throughout the body, says the health experts behind Kaiser Permanente health plans. Even light to moderate exercise can be highly effective at improving heart health.

Harvard Medical School says exercise also promotes positive physiological changes, such as encouraging the heart’s arteries to dilate more readily.

Exercise also can help with the body’s sympathetic nervous system (which controls heart rate and blood pressure) to be less reactive.

Ischemic preconditioning is another way that exercise can potentially

benefit the heart. According to a 2017 article in JAMA Cardiology, heart disease patients who exercised found that exercise could trigger short periods of ischemia, or reduced blood flow to the heart. After resting for a few minutes, these people saw improved performance when they renewed exercise and got their heart rates up. It is believed that small doses of IPC can help the heart adapt more readily with ischemia and avoid a major response issue down the road. Those at the Cardiovascular Performance Program at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital found that IPC could reduce damage from heart attack by as much as 50 percent.

Physical activity also allows better blood flow in the small blood vessels around the heart, potentially preventing clogs that can lead to heart attacks.

Furthermore, there is some evidence that exercise can help the body grow more blood vessel branches so there are additional routes blood can take if a usual path is blocked by fatty deposits or narrow arteries.

Johns Hopkins Medical Center says exercise also works like a beta-blocker medication that can slow the heart rate naturally to alleviate hypertension. It also can raise levels of HDL, the good cholesterol in the body, helping to improve overall cholesterol levels.

There are several reasons why exercise is important to heart health.

It’s never too late to get with a fitness regimen to prevent or reverse cardiac episodes.

Gold Coast to launch new film series The Gold Coast International Film Festival has been awarded a $15,000 grant from the Long Island Community Foundation to launch a new film series that will spotlight films that focus on a variety of social issues of importance to Long Islanders and the region, according to an announcement by the festival’s director, Caroline Sorokoff.

Following each film screening, a Q&A panel consisting of filmmakers, subject matter experts, and other relevant guests will be on hand to help audiences further explore the issues raised in the films. Films are expected to touch on a wide range of topical subjects including the environment, immigration, income equality, veterans’ issues, voting rights, and hunger, among others.

The Gold Coast International Film Festival currently previews more than 100 feature-length and short films each

year through its annual fall film festival and its year-round film screening and discussion series. Films include independent, foreign and documentary films, as well as previews of upcoming blockbusters.

“We look forward to partnering with several local and regional nonprofits to use film as a means of bringing important societal issues to the forefront and fostering dialogue on topics that affect our region,” said Sorokoff. “The Gold Coast Film Festival is greatly appreciative to the Long Island Community Foundation for its generous support of our efforts in this important endeavor.”

The new series will launch this summer. For more information about all of the Gold Coast International Film Festival’s upcoming films, visit www.goldcoastarts.org. More information about the Long Island Community Foundation can be found at www.licf.org.

This year marks the bicentennial birthday of renowned American poet Walt Whitman.

In celebration of Whitman’s life and creative works, a group of Adelphi University music, theater and visual arts students will perform and display their artwork during the Walt Whitman Bicentennial Birthday Weekend event on Sunday, June 2, from 1 to 4 p.m.

Adelphi students, along with their faculty mentors, created artistic works inspired by their favorite Whitman poems for the “Whitman in the Park” portion of the event at the Walt Whitman Birthplace in Huntington.

The Adelphi student performances and art for the festival were facilitated by Sidney Marquez Boquiren, Adelphi professor of music, Maggie Lally, professor of theater, and Kellyann Monaghan, professor of art and department chair of art history.

“Being involved in the creation and performance of com-

munity events such as the Whitman bicentennial gives students experiential training in being citizen-artists, sharing their talents in a meaningful way with community members,” said Lally. “Walt Whitman, in particular, has a real resonance for young people. They can relate to his words, passion, forward-thinking, struggle and bliss.”

Adelphi is one of five educational institutions participating in the event. Other schools include the Long Island High School for the Arts, Paul Gelinas JHS, Old Mill Road School and Walt Whitman High School.

Adelphi Student participants include: Theater performers Joanna Georghiou, Belgys Felix, and William Meurer; Laura Ryan in costume; Dori-Jo Gutierrez and Kevin Lubin on music; and Michele Civello, Dylan Coppola, Jessica Corso, Miguel Guerra, Bryan Levine, Juliet Milillo, Ashley Petti, Mariah Plakas, Laura Ryan, Savannah Taylor and Elise Weber in visual art.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Cradle Con returns with comics and more Continued from Page 25 Travers spends most of his two days at Cradle Con in Artist’s Alley, where he sells his prints and artwork.

This year, he will have a

new, mini Battle Skull comic book to share with visitors, who he speaks to about his work, sketches for, and sometimes accepts commissions from for more elabo-

rate works.

“The best experience I had was when a young kid who was into comics came to my table to talk and show me his drawings,” Travers recalls from last year. “It was a great experience to see a kid who, similar to myself when I was his age, was into drawing and comics.”

Travers hopes to meet more artists at this year’s gathering. “I’m looking forward to getting a chance to break away from my table and walk around, do some shopping,” he said. “I like to go to all the comic shops at the show and discover new artists.”

With all that Cradle Con has to offer, perhaps the best feature is its location, a museum that represents more than 100 years of aviation history and celebrates all those who succeeded in shooting for the stars.

“I honestly think it’s the best place to have a comic book convention,” Herring said. “Where else can you be digging for comic books or just hanging with an artist and right above you is Charles Lindbergh’s Spirit of St. Louis. Or you could be taking cosplay pictures next to the actual Grumman lunar module.”

Comic book enthusiasts can get lost in the museum’s many nooks or partake in all the fantastical fun on display at Cradle Con by going to www.cradleofaviation.org for tickets. Advance discounted tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for kids.

Weekend passes are $30.

On the day of the event, adult tickets are $25 and kids are $12.

All proceeds support the museum’s education and preservation programs.

The event will raise funds for the museum’s Women in STEM education programs, a new computer lab partly sponsored by Microsoft, new equipment like 3D printing machines, free classes, films in the planetarium and more.

The Cradle of Aviation Museum is located on Museum Row, Charles Lindbergh Blvd., in Garden City.

For more information about the event, call 516572-4111 or go to www. cradlecon.com.

COMMUNITY NEWS

JCC to rock out at SoulCycle Sid Jacobson JCC’s New Leadership Group is proud to announce the annual Rock the Ride event will be held on Sunday, June 2, 6:15 p.m. at SoulCycle Roslyn, followed by dinner at 388 Restaurant. The cycling event will raise funds to support the JCC’s Nancy Marx Cancer Wellness Center.

When individuals register for a bike at Rock the Ride, they commit to fundraising for NMCWC. Last year’s cycling event raised over $60,000. CoChairs for Rock the Ride include Jaclyn Edelstein, Dara Gelb, Jamie Kwiat, Hilary Levine, Rachel Poplock, Jen Saler, Andrea Stein and Rachel Stier.

“Each year I am thankful for the New Leadership Group’s hard work and dedication to this event to support people that have cancer and their families,” says Randy Hight, director, Nancy Marx Cancer Wellness Center. “The services that the Nancy Marx Cancer Wellness Center provides truly make a difference in these people’s lives. The participants of this fundraising event are our angels and partners in supporting those in our community who need it most.”

Cancer touches many families within our community without discrimination. When one family member is diag-

nosed, everyone is affected. For more than a decade, Sid Jacobson JCC’s Nancy Marx Cancer Wellness Center has met the need for holistic care for the entire family. The NMCWC’s We’ve Got Your Back — Family Cancer Support program focuses specifically on providing services to the children of families with a parent or sibling undergoing cancer treatment.

For more information about SJJCC’s Rock the Ride or to make a donation, visit sjjcc.org/rocktheride or contact Bridgette Troisi, assistant director of development at 516-4841545 ext. 141 or btroisi@sjjcc. org.

OUR TOWN

Lost Teddy Bear unlocks secrets (Finding happiness is not easy. Dorothy needed those ruby slippers to help her get there.)

At about 750 pages into “Remembrance of Things Past” Marcel Proust tells a story of a single day while on vacation in Balbec, which is in the South of France. The year is 1871 and he is only a teenager at the time.

His grandmother and her friend, Mme de Villeparisis, are both French aristocrats and plan on pampering their young grandson by taking him on a trip to see an old ivy-covered church in Carqueville.

This little story of his day trip takes up 25 pages and about 12,000 words and he only spends two sentences on his impression of the church.

The rest is a mesmerizing description of his search for a little joy as he prepares for the day, as he is driven through the French countryside, as he passes by some pretty girls and as he peers out the carriage window at sunset on his return to the hotel in Balbec.

This is storytelling at its best because he simply uses the day trip as a vehicle to introduce us to the human mind in its wild, anguished, lonely, tormented endless search for beauty that lies just beyond our reach and meaning underneath the surface of things. He could just as easily have described his basic philosophy of life without all those stories and it would have only taken a few pages to do so, but then he would have been just another philosopher that no one read.

Storytellers are all up to the same thing. They are telling us picaresque tales in order to teach the reader and to teach themselves something

they desperately need to discover before it’s too late. Victor Hugo wrote “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” to teach the public that the famous Parisian cathedral was falling apart. Miguel de Cervantes wrote “Don Quixote” to tell the reader that the chivalry of the medieval knights of King Arthur was well worth emulating. Charles Dickens wrote “A Christmas Carol” to help revive the sagging spirit of Christmas past.

Even modern classics take a look backwards to gather what is about to be lost. The bestselling “Balzac and The Little Chinese Seamstress” by Dai Sijie is a semi-autobiographical story about the Chinese Cultural Revolution and how much of a tragedy it is to burn books and to lose touch with great literature.

A friend of mine recently

DR. TOM FERRARO Our Town

found a big white teddy bear that was about to be thrown away by some family in her neighborhood and she retrieved it from the garbage can. I immediately thought that would make a great story entitled “Finding Teddy,” which would go something like this: Once upon a time a lonely

little girl named Annie found a discarded Teddy Bear in the garbage, brought it home and with the help of her mother she cleaned it up and cared for it as if it were the most precious thing on Earth. After many years of loving it, Annie went to sleep one night and had a dream where the Teddy Bear thanked her for her love and in return he gave her a gold ring with one diamond and two rubies. He told her that this ring was very powerful and would always bring her luck, safety and love. Upon awakening she saw that her teddy bear was gone, but in its place was a gold ring lying on her pillow.

My friend was amazed that I could make up the story so quickly but of course this is really the story of Pinocchio who found the Blue Fairy to make

“Finding happiness is not easy. Dorothy needed those ruby slippers to help her”

him real. It is also the famous children’s book, “The Velveteen Rabbit,” who becomes real thanks to the love of the little boy and a kiss by a garden fairy.

Any object in the world can carry meaning but only after we place meaning into it. Linus loved and needed his blanket, Ismael needed that talisman nailed to the mast in Moby Dick and Dorothy needed those ruby slippers in order to be safe from the Wicked Witch of the West.

The saddest things about becoming an adult is that it’s so hard to find magic or meaning or solace in the things we possess.

Pinocchio got along just great since he had Jiminy Cricket and the Blue Fairy, but alas we who are far older than Pinocchio can no longer find magic. That may be why people drink so much.

They all seek magic in a bottle.

And that is why Proust’s work is so crucial to read. He endlessly was looking for either beauty or happiness and finally said near the end of his book “that pleasure, the object of which I could only dimly feel, which I must create for myself, I experienced only on rare occasion….and that in attaching myself to the reality of that pleasure alone could I at length begin to lead a true life.”

Of course, he is not referring to sex or any other carnal pleasure but instead the sublimation of desires as we experience them in nature or in our social life. He foretold what Freud was about to lay claim to a few decades later, which is that the answer to happiness is to sublimate one’s urges. And as Proust said that takes a lot of effort and introspection or to put it another way “the more we love our “Teddy’s”, the more they love us back.”

Unethical for VGN candidates to drop out

I

n response to trustee candidate swap necessary in the Village of Great Neck, I am surprised that less than 12 hours after my letter was posted one of your reporters crafted an article in response to it.

All candidates for trustee have the same amount of time to file a petition. Did James Wu select his original candidates so carelessly that they didn’t realize they had other commitments

when they accepted?

Accepting the responsibility of becoming a PTO president doesn’t happen overnight. I commend one of the original trustee candidates for being an active parent in the school district – then why sign on to be listed on a petition for trustee of the largest village in Great Neck? The Village board meets twice a month and there is preparation required for each meeting, and time spent be-

fore and after meetings. Did this suddenly come as a surprise to him? As for the other candidate’s business commitments, was the role of trustee something he took so lightly that he did not anticipate such a conflict?

If one candidate had dropped out, it would not raise great concern, but when two drop out (William Groel and Eric Beerman) less than a day after submitting their petitions, have letters of declina-

tion ready, with two more letters of acceptance ready, it is suspicious, and makes the general public wonder about the motives of Wu, the mayoral candidate.

A vacancy committee exists in the event someone might not be able to serve. Vacancy committee member Steve Markowitz may minimize the declination of the other two candidates, but to the residents watching these events unfold, we wonder: Were the al-

ternate candidates testing the waters of their candidacy by seeing how many signatures Wu could garner without their help?

The excuses provided by Wu and the original trustee candidates ring hollow.

This may be legal, but I disagree with Wu. It’s unethical, and he should know better.

Cleanup slow for L.I.’s superfund sites Continued from Page 16 Selling Water to Vulnerable Water Suppliers?

During the lapse in the repermit process, New York City has reached out to offer assistance to some Nassau water suppliers having supply difficulties. The city has offered to sell water to Long Beach and to some water systems along Nassau’s north shore. Right now the upstate reservoirs are full and the city can afford to share some of its excess water. This would help out Long Beach, which is seriously concerned with saltwater intrusion into the Lloyd Aquifer along the south shore. The water lines for city water are easily accessible to the Long Beach water lines.

Some water suppliers, such as the Water Authority of Great Neck North, are facing both saltwater intrusion and chemical contamination problems. Bringing NYC water to Great Neck might be a little more difficult but not impossible. The idea to augment local groundwater with surface water from New York City is an evolving development. But, it raises the question of what will happen to Nassau suppliers that link up with New York City when NYC needs extra water for its own residents?

The question for Long Island: Will Long Island implement strong conservation measures to preserve the aquifers or will we put our water future in the hands of others?

Update on the Long Island Groundwater Sustainability Study Bureaucratic delays in the transfer of funding to the USGS, coupled with the disruptions from the federal government shutdown, caused the well drilling for Phase One of the project to begin this spring — over two years be-

hind schedule. Other parts of the study such as data collection and work on the computer model have been proceeding as planned.

Preliminary results from new, experimental technology suggest that the saltwater front in the Lloyd Aquifer is parallel to the southern shoreline of Long Beach rather than three miles off shore, as previously thought. The USGS reports the installation of the second well of 12 wells needed for the study was completed in January 2019.

The groups that promoted the Sustainability Study in 2016 are urging the NYS DEC to begin preparing a plan that incorporates the new knowledge developed from the study into water management policies and practices as soon as possible.

The first meeting of the study’s advisory committee in 2019 was scheduled for May. Update on Regulating Chemicals such as PFAS and 1,4 Dioxane In December 2018, the state Drinking Water Quality Council recommended to the state Department of Health that maximum contaminant levels be set for several unregulated chemicals showing up in drinking water across the state, especially on Long Island.

The chemical recommendations were: • PFOA and PFOS: a recommended MCL of 10 parts per trillion (ppt) for each and collectively, 20 ppt; and • 1,4 Dioxane: a recommended MCL of 1 part per billion (ppb).

If adopted, New York will become one of the first states to set enforceable drinking water standards for these chemicals.

While PFOA and PFOS are being discovered in New York water both upstate and downstate, the

situation for 1,4 Dioxane is very different. The vast majority of 1,4 Dioxane detections are on Long Island. The treatment for PFOA and PFOS uses methods and systems that are already commonly used by water suppliers for other chemicals such as volatile organic compounds, the number one drinking water pollutant on Long Island.

For 1,4 Dioxane, an entirely new system for water treatment (Advanced Oxidation Process) will be needed. The current estimate is that 185 wells may be affected and the cost to treat these wells could reach $840 million.

Resistance to Strong PFAS Regulation is Growing Even though the states are moving ahead, the federal EPA, which refused in 2018 to set standards for PFAS chemicals, announced in February that it will begin the process of setting national standards. EPA estimates final MCLs may be adopted by 2024. Early indications are that the levels EPA might adopt are weaker than ones being developed and adopted by the states.

At the same time, the Department of Defense is pushing EPA to adopt weaker standards for cleaning up chemicals in groundwater from military facilities and bases. The military is specifically concerned about PFAS and its connection to firefighting foams known to be a source of groundwater contamination. PFAS is also contained in many products used at military installations. A 2017 survey found 401 military facilities known to use PFAS-containing materials. PFAS in drinking water has shown up at 126 militaryrelated locations. The Pentagon is pushing for a clean-up standard of 380 parts per trillion (ppt); this is 30-times weaker than the possible EPA drinking water standard of 70

ppt. (iii) 1,4 Dioxane Detection Update In 2017, the state DEC ordered all superfund and RCRA sites to test for 1,4 Dioxane in groundwater plumes from each location. At this point, the full results are not expected before December 2019. 1,4 Dioxane is strongly associated with various commonly found VOCs in groundwater including: TCA (trichloroethane), DCE (dichloroethene), TCE (trichloroethylene), and PERC (tetrachloro-ethlylene).

Recent test results in 2018 of the Northrop-Grumman/Navy site in Bethpage, show 1,4 Dioxane is in a large majority of the test wells sampled.

Update On L.I. Fertilizer Bill The NYS legislation that restricts commercial fertilizers sold on Long Island to a maximum of 12 percent nitrogen by weight is being considered in the state Assembly and state Senate. It also requires the nitrogen to be in a slowrelease form. A-4568 (Englebright et al) has passed both the ENCON and Codes Committees. S-2130 (Kaminsky et al.) is in the ENCON Committee.

The Ogallala Aquifer in Crisis The Ogallala Aquifer, also known as the High Plains Aquifer, is the largest aquifer system in the United States.

It lies beneath eight Midwestern states that are the heart of the nation’s farming industry. The aquifer stretches from South Dakota to West Texas and provides nearly all water for residential, commercial and agriculture uses in the region.

This aquifer system provides 30 percent of all farm irrigation in the United States.

For years, the region has

known that the amount of water drawn from the Ogallala Aquifer is unsustainable because pumpage exceeds the recharge (e.g. the replacement) rate. The slow depletion of this vital aquifer puts the nation’s food production industry at risk of collapse as the water needed to grow crops gradually disappears. Recent studies also show that groundwater depletion will “severely impact the freshwater ecosystems of the region.”

A study from Kansas predicts that the aquifer will be 70 percent depleted by 2060 if irrigation practices do not change.

Every state in the region has the legislative authority to regulate the use of the Ogallala Aquifer to conserve it. However, some states have been more engaged in protecting the resource than others. Kansas and Nebraska illustrate the difference in approach.

Both states have the authority to force farmers to reduce water use.

Nebraska has actively enforced water use restrictions on the farming sector. Kansas has been timid to use its authority and instead put the power to achieve conservation in the hands of farmers. Kansas results have been under-whelming.

The Kansas approach has been described as an “orderly depletion of the aquifer rather than a plan for sustainable use.”

Instead of being strong on water conservation, some states want to build a pipeline to bring water into the region from outside sources. But they might not find any willing water donors.

The Ogallala experience suggests a key question for Long Island. With weak aquifer oversight, will we see an “orderly depletion” of our own sole source aquifer or will we act decisively to save our aquifer?

Ed board winner thanks Port voters

would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who voted in the recent Port Washington School District election — even those who did not vote for me. Our system of government works best when citizens engage. More important, however, I would like to thank all the people who supported me in my Board of Education run. I am grateful for the overwhelming support I received from the many different stakeholders who care about Port’s children.

Thank you to everyone who signed my petition, wrote Letters to the Editor, encouraged me, sweated and froze and

I

got sunburned at the train station with me (and the commuters there who humored me), stumped for me, inspired me, showed interest in the issues, and asked questions of me, created for me, made sure I ate, devoted hours upon hours of their time for me, voted for me! And more.

For over six years, I have been advocating as a lay person at the state and national levels for the educational well-being of K-12 kids. As a board member, I will continue my work to strengthen a whole child education for Port’s children by fighting against mandates and policies that harm our students and for increased state

aid. In my newly elected capacity, I will use my fiscally conservative nature to spend taxpayer dollars efficiently and effectively.

In addition, I hope to increase community awareness and involvement within our school district and will work to ensure transparency. Please remember: Board of Education meeting notices are routinely posted on the Campus Drive electronic billboard and on the district’s website. In addition, all full Board of Education meetings are live streamed.

I am excited to bring my knowledge, experience, and state and national advocacy to my hometown and look forward to

working with my fellow board members, our new superintendent, and all those who work in our schools and who support our children, to make a positive impact — always striving to move Port schools forward in our wonderful community. I will continue to work hard with energy and enthusiasm and to advocate to make our schools a great place for the kids of Port Washington. Thank you again.

It will be a privilege and honor to serve our beautiful community.

A.G. James should drop NRA probe

n response to Dr. Hal Sobel’s letter of May 24, 2019, “Internal warfare puts NRA on ropes,” I offer the following quotes from Mao Tse Tung: “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.”

“Power comes from the muzzle of a gun, those that have the guns have the power, those that have the power dictate what type of government there shall be.”

“All political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The communist party must command all the guns; that way, no guns can ever be used to command the party.”

I also offer following facts about genocide in countries that disarmed their citizens.

1911 – Turkey between 1915-1917 murdered 1.5 million Armenians.

1929 – Russia between 1929-1953

murdered 20 million Russians.

1935 – China between 1948-1952 murdered 45 million Chinese.

1938 – Germany between 1939-1945 murdered 11 million, including 6 million Jews.

1956 – Cambodia between 1975-1977 murdered 1 million educated people.

1964 – Guatemala between 1964-1981 murdered 100,000 Mayan Indians.

1970 – Uganda between 19711979 murdered 300,000 Christians.

It is also worth noting that on Dec. 29, 1890, the military ordered the Lakota Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee on the Pine Ridge Reservation to surrender their weapons. A shot was fired by an unidentified gunman resulting in the government troops opening fire on the mostly unarmed Lakota people. They massacred

290 Sioux men, women and children, including many trying to flee, in a matter of minutes. Two hundred of the Sioux were women and children. On June 2, 1924, Congress granted citizenship to all Native Americans born in the United States.

Sobel seems quite pleased that New York State Attorney General Letitia James has opened an investigation into the NRA’s tax-exempt status. As a NYS taxpayer I believe AG James’ investigating skills and time should be used to assist Comptroller Scott Stringer and the City Council on an accounting of the $250 million a year mental-health program Mayor De Blasio created for his wife Chirlane McCray to run. If that doesn’t interest AG James, she could try investigating the Clinton Foundation.

As for the loving Obama, many saw through his façade and how he wanted to fundamentally change this country. That is why legal gun sale records were set during his tenure. In addition, Obama also should have spent some time in Chicago, where he was a community organizer, state senator and U.S. senator, consoling some of the families of the 4,000-plus victims of gun violence there during his time as president. Please note that Chicago has the toughest gun laws in the nation.

The real problem is the lack of treatment for the mentally ill and governments that disarm or want to disarm their citizens.

Wu violated campaign laws in Queens

J

ames Wu does not come to the table with clean hands.Mr. Wu’s past was never checked out and verified by anyone prior to running his campaign.

It should be noted that anytime his backer could not control a mayor and the board, another candidate was persuaded to run. That relates back to many other mayors as well. As a resident of over 50 years, I have been a witness to what is alleged.On Tuesday, May 14, petition sheets were submitted with the names James Wu, William Groel and Eric Beerman listed in the positions for mayor and trustees respectively. James Wu had already signed his Letter of Acceptance and submitted it with his petitions.Prior to that time, Mr. Wu and others collected 200 signatures from people in the Village who signed for Mr. Wu and the trustees listed on the original application.

This is the well-known concept of

“bait & switch.”On Wednesday, May 15 Wu submitted letters of declination from his trustee candidates Groel and Beerman on Tuesday May 14, these names were on the original petition submitted.

He was able to obtain signatures with those names.On May 15t#Wu submitted a signed and notarized letter of acceptance, from his two new trustee candidates, Harold Citron and Julia Shields.

These new candidates’ names were not on his original petition.Although Wu’s acts were not illegal, it would be considered unethical.

The only time the names would usually be changed is if the proposed trustee becomes sick or dies. The signatures he collected using different names would be considered fraudulent.The Bral, Hope and Mendelson petitions were submitted on Monday, May 13. Letters of acceptance for the three candidates were submitted on Wednesday, May 15. No

changes were made.Let us now examine Mr. Wu’s unethical and tainted background. It was published in the New York Daily News on December 12, 2013.

The New Your City Campaign Finance Board fined ex-city Council candidate James Wu for faked records and more.The Campaign Finance Board fined James Wu nearly $18,000 in penaltiesincluding a $5,000 fine for falsifying records. He obviously lost the election and did not become a member of the council.

In addition, James Wu, a business consultant submitted false documents regarding more than $20,000 provided by the candidate’s brother. Team Wu first reported the money, but later backtracked and characterized it as an advance payment to a vendor.

In total, James Wu was fined for violating all of the following: Failing to report a bank account; Filing two disclosure statements late; Failing to file daily

pre-election disclosure statements; Failing to provide merchant account statements; Accepting three over-the-limit contributionsAccepting a large contribution from a corporation; Failing to properly document two transactions; Failing to provide a petty cash journal; Maintaining a petty cash fund greater than $500; Intentionally furnishing false documentation and information.

On Tuesday, June 18#from 12 noon to 9 pm, at the Baker School at 69 Baker Hill Road, we all have an opportunity to make a prudent decision whether to reelect Mayor Bral or Mr. Wu. Do we want to re-elect an intelligent, honest person with integrity, Mayor Bral or do we want an applicant with questionable credentials that were never investigated prior to choosing Mr. Wu? C.J.

New Port superintendent favors opt-out

A

s a Port resident, a graduate of the Harvard School of Education, and a former high school teacher, I have been proud of the achievements of Schreiber students.

Year after year they have garnered top honors in national competitions; the number of advanced placement courses and the large percentage of students who take them are extremely impressive; and acceptance rates into first-rate colleges are enviable.

How sad that with the appointment of Michael Hynes as superintendent of schools and with the election of school board candidates who are champions of the “opt out” movement in education, we may well find the glory days behind us.

What was there in Mr. Hynes’s background that garnered such enthusiasm on the part of our school board? Was it his pledge to “abolish the U.S. Department of Education and standardized testing?”

Was it his championship of meditation and yoga? His wish to increase the number of recess and playtime periods?

Mr. Hynes’s tenure at the Shelter Island School District with total school enrollment of 223 students provides little preparation for the Port Washington School District’s close to 5500 student body.

While he spent four years as superintendent of the Patchogue-Medford school system with a large student body, its high school placed No. 465 in New York State, according to the latest US News and World reports and No. 261 in the Niche assessment. Schreiber ranked No. 62 in US News and World and #28 in Niche. (It is noted that while Hynes was Patchogue-Medford’s school chief, recess was doubled from 20 minutes to 40 minutes and playtime was reintroduced into the classroom).

One wonders just why the school board chose him. How had he distinguished himself? As a champion of “community

engagement and advocate of whole-child education?” Was he successful, and how does one measure success in a school system without testing?

Our students have achieved their remarkable results in national competitions and college admissions as the very result of testing!

With the allure of Face Time, Facebook, Netflix, Amazon, and Snap Chat, it becomes increasingly more difficult for our students to find time to study or just to read for pleasure (a bygone pastime, it seems).

We look to our schools, then, to offer challenging courses. We look to our schools to stimulate and engage young minds. More recess? I think not. Better to have more history, literature and mathematics.

Outgoing Superintendent Moony, by contrast, noted that it was important to address the academic needs of students, but in your 5/24 article, however, Hynes does not make reference to the world of aca-

demia, achievement or scholarship.

I am not an elitist. I am proud that our school system has an excellent ESL program, a wonderful record of absorbing new Americans into our community, and a vast network of social services and guidance programs.

But we must never forget that we have an obligation to offer the finest education possible so that Port Washington’s next generation of scientists, educators and physicians won’t “opt out” to enroll in private school where state rankings are not considered dirty words and homework is viewed as a necessary adjunct to course material.

We cannot afford a decline in the value of our schools and the serious risk that potential new residents of our community will seek school excellence elsewhere.

Queens race raises questions in VGN

U

nbeknownst to most residents of the Village of Great Neck, James Wu was found guilty of engaging in illegal conduct during his failed New York City Council bid when he last ran in the Democratic Party primary.# As reported in the Daily News (12/12/13) and the Institute for Free Speech (12/19/13),# James Wu was fined $18,000 for ten#different violations of New York City campaign finance law.## Contrary to what Wu

would have us believe, Luke Wachtob of the IFS reported that these 10 violations were not minor errors, mistakes, or the result of confusing regulations.## Among James Wu’s# many violations of the law was the charge of# “intentionally furnishing false documentation and information.”# # Consistent with his past behavior,##James Wu has already pulled a “bait and switch” on the voters in the Village of Great Neck. # # Mr. Wu gathered

the required signatures for the two candidates he had included on his slate, William Groel and Eric Beerman, and at the last minute substituted Julia Shields and Harold Citron as candidates. ##Election guidelines state that candidates’ names can only be changed in cases of death or other extraordinary circumstances necessitating withdrawal.##Another example of James Wu’s disregard for the citizens he purports to represent is that while he describes

himself as a proponent of transparency, he fails to divulge that he is a real estate developer. Considering the concerns of some residents about over-development, this is an egregious omission. ##James Wu wants us to believe that he is trustworthy but his history and current behavior indicate otherwise.## Dr. Lynne Bursky Great Neck

VIEW POINT

Northwell prez lacks all health care answers Continued from Page 16 Same with drugs. American taxpayers paid for research and development of those pharmaceuticals, so patients are really shareholders as well as stakeholders in Big Pharma and should be treated as such.

Again, like a public utility, there should be reasonable prices and price increases that

allow for return on investment and profit but do not extort.

Meanwhile, there is far more that the government should do to make health services accessible: opening more medical schools and training more doctors, giving grants for pursuing needed health careers that can be repaid through supporting

clinics in underserved communities; creating more functions that can be performed for specially trained physicians assistants, nurses and midwives. Also, promoting telemedicine, wellness, free annual check-ups (oh wait — this is part of Obamacare), vaccinations, eye and dental care, and, yes, investment in Advanced Precision Medicine,

biogenetics, stem cells.

As for single payer: I am quite sure that Ireland and Europe’s healthcare improved because of single payer from before. Moreover, with the benefit of experience, this country is certainly capable of devising a universal health-care system that doesn’t have the same negatives as older systems.

Debug your home before showing it I hope everyone enjoyed the Memorial Day Weekend with family and friends and remembered those who, over the last 242 years of our existence, sacrificed for our democracy and freedom. I also hope there will be fewer wars and more diplomacy and communication to solve disagreements and issues.

When you or your agents are showing your home, do you worry about insects in and outside your home this summer?

With all the rain we have had during the winter and spring and may continue to have going forward, mosquitoes and other annoying flying insects could be a real pain in the butt, a hazard and and a turn-off to your purchasers, assuming you have a very pleasant rear yard to relax in.

Standing water is a huge breeding ground for those pesky litter critters as well as their potential dangerous bites and itchy aftermath. The last thing you need is to have your buyers bitten and become irked when viewing your backyard.

Any time it rains, make sure all those pans, buckets or whatever you may have that collects rain water are dumped out and turned over, so water accumulation is eliminated. Also, the closer you are to lakes, oceans or swampy low-lying areas, the greater the opportunity for mosquito infestation.

Nassau and Suffolk counties and state-owned properties have many areas, especially recharge basins where water sits and accumulates as a potential breeding ground for mosquitoes. You can reach out to the public works and health department in your county to ascertain if they will be spraying larvicide to kill the mosquito eggs before they hatch in those areas again this summer. West Nile Virus is directly related to infected Asian Tiger mosquitoes that carry the disease. Last year Nassau and Suffolk counties had reported cases, including some that were fatal.

So one should cover arms

and legs, especially in areas with mosquitoes and be cognizant of any bites that cause mild symptoms of fever, headache and body aches, a skin rash and swollen lymph glands.

Symptoms in more severe cases can include high fever, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness and paralysis. Individuals most at risk for severe infection include those over the age of 55 and those with chronic illness or compromised immune systems.

Deer ticks, which cause Lyme Disease, is another serious issue in Long Island, especially where tall grasses and vegetation exist. One should always wear clothing to cover arms and legs when walking or hiking, especially in Suffolk County. Flea bites are another insect, although much less dangerous, but annoying, which your pets should be protected against. Here is a link to assist in your search for natural remedies for your pets: https:// www.dogsnaturallymagazine. com/natural-solutions-tickseason/ As the warm humid and hot weather becomes the norm, homeowners themselves don’t need any of those issues to cause buyers not to consider your home. I have seen many homes over the years, where the homeowner goes out and purchases bug zappers. It may appear that you are reducing the population of all sorts of flying insects, including mosquitoes, but I beg to differ and the reason is that the light that attracts them does just that, and you are just attracting a greater population of insects to your property.

Citronella drives away bothersome insects such as flies and mosquitoes. You can combat the bugs further by also combining the torches with citrus candles for twice the pest-fighting action.

Spray water with lavender or eucalyptus around your patio to create a natural pest bar-

rier. Spraying it on you can also help keep bugs away. Vinegar is a natural deterrent for ants.

A combination of half apple cider vinegar (although normal vinegar works just as well) and half water in a spray bottle works perfectly to repel those pests. This concoction can be sprayed around the perimeter of your home, on the legs of tables that have food served on them or even around a screen house or tent. While vinegar is an effective item you can use to get rid of ants, you will need to reapply, as the residual effect is minimal.

Another useful ant deterrent is cayenne pepper. When sprinkled in places where ants tend to gather, like areas near sugar and places where crumbs linger, they stay away. The pepper’s spice serves as a deterrent for the ants by telling them that none of the sweet stuff that they’re looking for is there. It acts almost like caution tape. It can get a little messy, so try to sprinkle the cayenne pepper in areas that aren’t used as much, like a cabinet, especially ones that contain baking supplies or other sweet goods.

Another natural deterrent is peppermint oil. Not only does it repel ants, it also repels spiders.

In fact, peppermint keeps most pests away, including aphids, beetles, caterpillars, fleas, flies, lice, mice and moths. There are three ways to effectively apply this oil: soaking cotton balls in the oil and hiding them where the insects gather, applying

the oil directly to the affected areas, or diluting it with water and spraying the perimeter of areas you’re trying to protect. If you’re diluting the oil, mix 10 drops of peppermint essential oil and 16 oz. of water, then pour into a spray bottle. Peppermint oil can also keep some of the spiders out of the areas of the home where they frequent most, in addition to making the house smell wonderful. While this appears to be a simple solution, it’s a game of strategy by putting the oil in locations where you suspect pests are entering. With a little trial and error, you should be able to target and focus on those specific areas. It’s all about where you put it, using doorways and entrances to your advantage.

Getting rid of crickets in your basement can be done in two ways. Fill a bowl with a few tablespoons of molasses and then fill half way up with water and place in those areas in your basement where you notice the populations of crickets. As they get attracted to the molasses and go in and get stuck and then drown, replace as needed.

Also, sticky traps work extremely well, too, and are another natural way to minimize them.

There are also cricket bait you can purchase that will work too.

Finding natural solutions for keeping away mosquitoes is always a challenging process.

Using a mixture of lavender oil and eucalyptus oil can help keep them away and heal any existing bites. The mixture has a nice fragrant smell compared to most cans of spray you can buy in the store, and it’s as affordable as a bottle of DEET, which you should use as a last resort. But be careful and use precaution and ask your doctor for advice before using.

Lavender oil is one of the only essential oils you don’t have to dilute with water to use on the body, although it’s recommended that you speak with your doctor first. All in all, these bug deterrents all do their jobs well, and finding some natural

options for your household and family is always a plus.

Lastly, here are some choices in plants that you can grow or purchase to strategically place around your home where you know previous issues with mosquitoes existed or might be: 1.) Citronellagrass 2.) Basil 3.) Catnip 4.) Catmint 5.) Rosemary and thyme, which lasted longer than DEET as per Seoul National University, in Seoul, Korea.

6.) Additional link to other plant repellents: https://www.google. com/search?safe=active&sou rce=hp&ei=JpzsXJXvE8js_Qa 2mbIo&q=plants+that+repel +mosquitoes&oq=plants+tha t&gs_l=psy-ab.1.0.0i67l3j0l2j 0i67j0l4.5005.6560..10527…

Eliminating unwanted insects inside and outside your home will add to the desirability of your home and property, while keeping buyers in the game when viewing your home for sale or rent and will add to maximizing its appeal.

Post 304 hosts Memorial Day parade Continued from Page 2 to local students. Each selected four students to attend Boys State and Girls State, weeklong summer programs in upstate New York that allow young people to simulate participation in a governmental body.

The American Legion also presented two teens with its “school award” for graduating seniors. The recipients were Erasmo Troia of Manhasset High School and Anthony Alaimo of Saint Mary’s High School.

The auxiliary named Kaitlyn Clarke its “Poppy Queen,” presented Kristin D’Angelo and Rachel Jang with “Americanism” awards and presented Abigail Kolyer with its “good deed” award.

Troia, who is involved with five honor societies, two sports teams and the Manhasset-Lakeville Fire Department, said he hopes to one day serve in the military.

“A lot of people forget what today means,” he said. “It’s called Memorial Day for a reason. We remember those who fought and served.”

In a speech, Killian, the post commander, said that June 6 is the 75th anniversary of the invasion of Normandy during World War II. “Labels we hurl today like Democrat, Republican, red state and blue state matter little when facing lines of machine guns charging up a beach,” Killian said. “Politics are irrelevant to a family that hears the words ‘We regret to inform you.’”

The Ryan family moved to Manhasset in November 2001, where Bill Ryan continued with the fire department service he had been dedicated to since age 17. He volunteered with the Manhasset-Lakeville Fire Department and Port Washington Fire Department and lived healthily and without cancer symptoms, said his wife, Deirdre Ryan.

Bill Ryan was someone who was always prepared, his older daughter said.

He would keep a defibrillator in each of his family’s cars, and he trained his two daughters in first aid.

“He was compassionate, bold,” Michaela Ryan said, “A family man –” “The epitome of a family man,” Deirdre Ryan agreed.

On his 50th birthday, he learned that he had Stage 4 lung cancer, she said. He died just days after their 20th wedding anniversary.

“He’s missed tremendously by a lot of people,” Deirdre Ryan said.

The Albany memorial now has 82 names, each featured on a leaf on a tree engraved at the Empire State Plaza.

Members of the Ryan family as well as members of ambulance companies that Bill Ryan volunteered with attended the ceremony last week.

Michaela Ryan just completed her first year as a nursing student at Adelphi

Manhasset Secondary School and is also interested in becoming a first responder, Michaela Ryan said.

“I would say his legacy lives on in his

children,” Deirdre Ryan said. “He was a blessing.”

Teen accesses therapeutic intervention It’s been a long journey to serenity for Alyssa Harper, 18, of Ronkonkoma. After a lifetime of changing schools and adapting to new locations as a result of being the perennial “new kid” as a child of the military, Harper’s struggles came to a head just one year ago. In February 2018, she began hurting herself on several occasions because, in her mind, she was “broken.”

“I started my 13th school when we moved to New York a few years ago,” said Harper.

“Always being the new kid, the pressures of that, along with living with a parent who has PTSD as a result of his military service, it’s all terrifying. It’s not easy seeing your parent fall apart like that – it takes its toll.”

The man she refers to as her father (currently stationed out-ofstate) was an Army artillery specialist who was deployed to Afghanistan. When he came home in 2012, the family was based in North Carolina. By then, Harper was starting to notice a change.

As often happens to veterans who return home, her father became angry and was sometimes verbally abusive. The home was no longer a refuge.

Harper enjoyed the smalltown lifestyle of North Carolina.

Unfortunately, her father was once again ordered to ship out – this time to New York. Harper left the home she had come to love and arrived on Long Island as an eighth grader. In her new school, she was the outsider – bullied and ridiculed – for her upbringing, her appearance, for her interest in the arts and for just being different.

Repeated attempts to hurt herself brought Harper to the point of becoming an inpatient in a Long Island behavioral health facility. Following that brief stay, she found her way to the Unified Behavioral Health Center in Bay Shore.

Founded in 2012, the Center is a one-of-a-kind collabora-

Under one roof, Northwell provides behavioral health services to families affected by the military service of a member while the Northport Veterans Administration Medical Center operates an outpatient clinic for veterans.

“In military life, there are several possible traumas that affect not only the veteran, but their family members,” said Mayer Bellehsen, director of the Unified Behavioral Health Center. Such issues as the transition and challenges of relocation, constant moving, the transition back to civilian life, the fear and loneliness that children experience as the result of a parent’s deployment – these are all factors that could cause a family member to feel depressed and/

or anxious.

Bellehsen described a type of “secondary PTSD” experienced by the children of veterans with similar symptoms to the disorder such as hyper-vigilance or the feeling of “walking on eggshells” all the time.

“In other words, PTSD not only affects the individual, but the entire family,” said Bellehsen. “That’s the mission of our Center and why the Northport VA and Northwell Health decided to join forces.

Veterans who come to our facility walk through a door on the right to be seen by VA clinicians; their family goes through the door on the left to be seen

by Northwell clinicians. We often all meet together to decide on a course of treatment for the family.

“The most important thing to remember here is that when members of the military serve,

they don’t serve alone…the family serves, as well. Understanding this is important for the future of our nation as our veterans return from battle and try to readjust to life at home,” he said.

For her part, after a year of therapy and self-introspection, Harper is filled with hope about her future. She will graduate from high school in June and is eager to begin her studies in sociology at Arizona State University in the fall.

“I just want other kids out there like me – those who are different and feel alone – to know that there is hope if you reach out to get help,” said Harper. “It’s important for people to understand that we don’t really want to end our lives, we just want the pain of that part of our lives to stop.”

Eloquent and serene, Harper concluded her message

with this thought: “I’m happy about the fact that I’m not angry. I don’t like grudges. Staying angry has a negative effect on your mental health…it’s just not productive.”

Harper and her family will be lending their support to Northwell’s first “Side by Side” event to honor military service.

Set to take place in Manhattan over Memorial Day Weekend, the two-part event will take place on May 25. During the day, visitors will enjoy a fun-filled day of musical performances, military exhibits, and much more at Rockefeller Center. Later than evening, multi-platinum pop-rock band Imagine Dragons will play Radio City Music Hall, with a portion of proceeds earmarked for the health system’s military initiatives.

St. Aidan’s tops St. Christopher’s 6-4 Stallions victory bring spring season to a close at 3-3, avenges earlier defeat The St. Aidans’s Stallions finished their spring season at 3 wins and 3 losses, seeding them sixth in the Catholic League Middle School playoff bracket.

On Monday, May 20, the Stallions faced off against third-ranked St. Christopher’s of Baldwin at Seaman’s Neck Park in Seaford. The Stallions were eager to avenge a regular season loss and came superbly focused and ready.

In a thrilling upset, the Stallions of St Aidan’s beat St. Christopher’s team by a

score of 6-4. Mike D’Angelo recorded the complete game victory, striking out eight and allowing five hits. Every Stallion contributed by getting on base or making a good defensive play. Jake Grimm stole home for the lead run and a great game was played by Christian Murphy, Sean Lanigan, Joe and Jon Anthony Panero, Lucas Abrusci, CJ Galanga, Matt Forte, Bailan Fagan, Jack Willoughby, Nikita Mullen and Justin Meskill.

On Friday, May 24, the Stallions

faced the No. 1-ranked Firebirds of Kellenberg at Tully Field in New Hyde Park.

The Stallions played a fierce and competitive game but ultimately dropped the semi-final game by a score of 10-4.

The big hit was a bases-loaded double

by Sean Lanigan that plated three runs.

The other run was driven in by Mike D’Angelo. The Firebirds of Kellenberg were kept in check by the Stallions defense, highlighted by a throwing a player out at the plate when Nikita Mullen,

2019 St. Aidan’s Middle School Baseball Team

playing leftfield, threw a cut-off throw to shortstop Mike D’Angelo. D’Angelo fired the ball to home where catcher James Rosselon made the tag throwing out the Firebird runner. Other excellent defensive plays were made by Joe Panero and Sean Lanigan. Justin Meskill, Sean Lanigan, James Rosselon and Tom Nutley all had hits for the Stallions. Kellenberg Firebirds Manager James O’Brien was impressed by the never say die Stallions.

“In both games we played this season, St Aidan’s never quit and I had to throw my best pitchers,” he said. “Even against my best, St Aidan’s kept playing hard and stayed right in the game.”

Commenting on the season, Field manager Kenny Solosky summed it one word, “Fun.” “Of course, we wanted to win it all, but as coaches we have a lot of goals and objectives — namely having fun, helping to improve our players and letting them learn about the great game of baseball — Mission Accomplished” he observed.

The members of the 2019 St Aidan’s Middle School Baseball Team: Christian Murphy, Sean Lanigan, Mike D’Angelo, Joe Panero, Jon Anthony Panero, James Rosselon, Jake Grimm, Tom Nutley, Lucas Abrusci, Matt Forte, CJ Galanga, Justin Meskill, Nikita Mullen, Eddie Olsen, Bailan Fagan, Jack Willoughby and Andrew Marotta. The team coaches were Ken Solosky, Kenny Solosky and Patrick Solosky.

Honoring students, Holocaust survivor Assemblyman Anthony D’Urso joined the Jewish Community Relations Council’s annual Day of Remembrance in Nassau County to reflect and recognize the work of youth in creating a more civil society. The event was held at the Mid-Island Y JCC in Plainview.

“I was happy to work with the Jewish Community Relations Council to honor these outstanding students who have shown their potential to make this world a more civil place,” said D’Urso.

Students were nominated by their schools for projects including increasing public awareness about vitiligo, an immune disease; working at soup kitchens; holding events to raise funds for the Long Island Tourette Association and Camp Kesem for children who have lost a parent to cancer; volunteering at a food pantry, working with Holocaust survivors to share their story to ensure that the oral history of

the Holocaust lives on; coordinating food drives, volunteering at hospitals; fighting for the rights of all students, particularly those with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities; feeding the homeless; serving as EMTs; helping maintain a community garden and aiding blood, clothing, and toy drives.

Adam Suttin, JCRC-LI’s chair, talked about how inspiring it was to be in a room with young adults who are committed to doing good deeds. The Long Island chapter of the JCRC reaches out to educate and continue building relationships to help unite our communities.

Guest of honor Leo Ullman of Port Washington shared his moving story of being a hidden child in Holland during the Holocaust. Rabbi Rafi Rank of the Midway Jewish Center lit six yahzreit (memorial) candles to symbolize the six million Jews killed in the Holocaust.

Narcan kit training session June 3

Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton

With over half of the residents in New York saying they have been touched in some way by the opioid epidemic, understanding the reasons and having the power to potentially save the life of someone who is overdosing becomes more and more important than ever before.

As dangerous and addictive as heroin is on its own, it is often laced with powerful drugs like fentanyl, 100 times stronger than morphine, and even carfentanyl, an elephant tranquilizer which is 1,000 times stronger than heroin. These highpotency drugs are adding to the horrific statistics of overdose deaths.

Although the opioid epidemic continues, deaths from overdoses

are declining in areas where EMS, police and the general public are trained and have Narcan kits. Narcan nasal spray is simple to administer and cannot harm someone who is not overdosing from an opioid.

On Monday, June 3, Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggiWhitton (D-Glen Cove) is sponsoring a Narcan education and training session. The event will be held from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. at the Chabad of Port Washington at 80 Shore Road.

“These events not only provide people with life-saving Narcan kits but also arms them with the knowledge about how easily addictive opiates are, whether in heroin or prescription pill form,” DeRiggi-Whitton

said. “Understanding how this terrible drug works is the first step in combatting the epidemic. I urge everyone to attend one of these eyeopening meetings. We thank Rabbi Paltiel and the Chabad for providing the space to conduct this important training.”

Everyone in attendance, 18 years or older, will receive a Narcan kit and a certificate. There is no fee for the training or kit, but registration is required. Please contact DeRiggi-Whitton’s office at 516-5716211 or online at nassaucountyny. gov/overdosetraining to register.
