Flower Hill passes light display law

AWA R E N ESS W E E K

Resident says he expected passage, unsure if he will put up decorations BY LU K E TOR R A N C E After months of debate, the Flower Hill Board of Trustees passed a law on Monday that would regulate lighting displays in the village. Called the “exhibitions law,” the new rule will require homes that have “illumination of an outside area” that resulted in 20 or more people visiting on three days within a 10-day period to obtain a permit from the village. While the law makes no mention of Christmas, its passage is a reaction to the holiday light display of village resident Robert Young. Young’s annual light display on Sunnyvale Road is a popular holiday tradition, but the increase in visitors has led to frustrated neighbors and village oﬃcials. Under the new law, the appli-

cant will have to provide the village with a detailed description of the display. The applicant will be required to mail all residents in a 200-foot radius of the display a notice of a hearing on the display. The village board will be able to impose hours of operation and charge a fee that would cover the village’s cost related to the display. This could cover costs for advertising, stenographic minutes and legal fees and consultants. In order to cover this, applicants will be required to make a $500 deposit. “This allows for the village to properly manage these events,” said Deputy Mayor" Brian Herrington, who wrote the law. “I’d say overall, I think we’ve made a lot of progress on this and I’m hopeful it will help the community.” Continued on Page 103

Manorhaven prepares for work on sewers

My Father’s Place is back to rock Roslyn

Village also moves part of 9/11 memorial outside

Former club opens in Roslyn Hotel

BY LU K E TORRANCE With the June election behind it, the Manorhaven Board of Trustees took steps! during a meeting last Thursday to implement the platform members campaigned on. “All the candidates ran unopposed, and I think that speaks to the fact that the residents have given us a good rating on our performance,” said Mayor Jim Avena, who was one of the three re-elected village oﬃcials. Among the major priorities for the village in the near future is repairing and rehabilitating the sewers. The board agreed to purchase a skid steer for $14,900 and a backhoe for $34,500 from the Port Washington Water District to work on that project. The village has budgeted for the purchases in case it cannot obtain funding through the CHIPS reimbursement program run by the New York Department of Transportation. The board also approved the engagement of Walden Engineering to apply for the next round of sewer grant applications. Avena mentioned later in the meeting that he wants to oﬃcially approve a $5 million bond that would pay for the sewer upgrades along with street repaving. He said that a $50,000 reduction in costs from the Fire Department — which was due to the reassessment of properties in Nassau County — freed up spare funds that would cover some of the costs to issue that bond. In further construction news, Avena said that the village would be receiving $350,000 from the Nassau County Community Block Grant to finish construction on Morgan’s Dock. There was a vote on moving the village’s 9/11 memorial, which led to some rare

dissent from the board. The trustees almost always vote together on motions, but Trustee John! Popeleski voted against moving a piece of the World Trade Center outside. “Outside, it’s going to be in the elements and it’s going to rust,” he said. But the other four board members voted to move it outside, where they said they believed it would be more accessible to village residents. The piece will be part of Manorhaven’s existing memorial outside Village Hall. The board discussed — but did not take action on — the village’s annual street festival. Avena said he liked the festival but it required a lot of work from the village. Trustee Rita Di Lucia proposed holding it every other year. “This way we still continue it because people like, but may-

be just not as often,” she said. The trustees talked about a possible law regarding the installation of cell nodes on telephone poles. These nodes are brown boxes that transmit cellphone signals. The trustees expressed a desire to regulate them to determine when they can be set up, saying they wanted to be proactive after phone companies “snuck in” and installed them in Great Neck. The board also amended a local law that would permit parking on either side of Nesaquake Avenue from Sintsink Drive East to Manhasset Avenue. Previously, that stretch had been restricted to trucks and boat trailers.

Music lovers who pined for rock ’n’ roll to return to the North Shore for decades were treated last weekend to the grand re-opening of My Father’s Place after more than 30 years. Owner Michael “Eppy” Epstein has been looking to rebuild his former hot spot since it closed in 1987 and found a home at the Roslyn Hotel for the 225-seat supper club focused on drawing anything but cover bands to the newly renovated space, decked in deep blues and bright lights. My Father’s Place General Manager Dan Kellachan said he was a frequent visitor at the original Bryant Avenue location and its free Tuesday concerts when he was a student at St. John’s University. “If it hadn’t been for Eppy and My Father’s Place, I would not be in the music industry,”!Kellachan said. The weekend opened with a dress rehearsal featuring blues singer Cindy Lopez accompanied by pianist Matt Mancini before John Rullo, Joe Volpe, Rich Albertson and Al DeSimone with The Molotov Cocktails of Freeport rocked the

house. The grand opening continued throughout the weekend with soldout performances by “Hot Hot Hot” legend Buster Poindexter on Friday, singer-songwriter Livingston Taylor on Saturday and Rhode Island swing band Roomful of Blues on Sunday. During the rehearsal on Thursday, The Molotov Cocktails performed their song in honor of the re-opening, singing “My Father’s Place is back again” while slowly building to a jamming singalong with the audience. During the planning stages, Epstein said he was determined to bring the club back but oﬀer more elevated, healthy plates for diners to enjoy during the performances. The opening weekend menu included small snacks like homemade chips and marinated olives as well as cured meats, grilled tiger shrimp, pan-roasted salmon and a lamb burger with cumin aioli and feta cheese. The drink menu has a host of wines by the glass and by the bottle and has a number of cocktails named for Long Island, including the Roslyn Road Speakeasy with Continued on Page 125

Raising awareness for the deaf-blind

Helen Keller National Center touts the work of students in the North Shore community BY LU K E TORRANCE “Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much,” said Helen Keller, the renowned deaf-blind activist who advocated for people with disabilities. That mission is carried on by the Helen Keller National Center in Port Washington, which last week held its annual national advocacy campaign “Deaf-Blind Awareness Week.” Sue Ruzenski, the executive director of the center, said that the goal for the week is twofold: to celebrate deaf-blind individuals and to draw attention to their plight, as funding from the federal government is often inconsistent and insuﬃcient. Established by an act of Congress in 1967 — a year before Keller’s death — the center was originally based in a spice factory in New Hyde Park, according to Ruzenski. In 1976, the center moved into a new facility in Sands Point, where it has been based ever since. “Deaf-Blind Awareness Week”

sake organization does not believe that becoming deaf-blind means people can no longer participate in society. The center trains deafblind adults for jobs throughout the North Shore, an effort overseen by Kathy Mezack. Alper’s Hardware in Port Washington, the Town of North Hempstead offices and Roslyn Claremont Hotel are among the 75 business that partner with the center. “So many folks in the community, we’re very fortunate that they’re opening their doors and giving people a chance,” said Ruzenski. “They can do it. They just need the opportunity.” Ruzenski and Mezack have been with the organization for several decades.

Prepping races from Port to Olympics

David Katz’s expertise in setting up, managing races has taken him around the world BY LU K E TORRANCE David Katz is one of the best in the world at what he does. In 2020, he will travel to Tokyo to take part in the Olympic Games. But he is not a champion swimmer or archer. He is instead an elite technical race director. “They only appoint one international surveyor,” said Katz, who resides in Port Washington. “If you think about an athlete training their whole lives for the Olympics, in the arcane world of nerdy surveyors, this is the same thing.” As the technical race director for running events all over the world, Katz makes sure that the foot races are all properly measured and managed, from the 100-meter dash to marathons. Tokyo will be the third Olympics in a row that Katz has taken part in, and his fifth overall (he also took part in Los Angeles in 1984 and Atlanta in 1996). He currently serves as chairman for the USA Track & Field Road Running Technical Council and is on the technical!commit-

School. It was during this time that he became involved with the technical aspects of a race when he volunteered to organize a fundraising run in Port on Thanksgiving Day in 1976. “There was a lot of disorganization at the time,” he said of races in the 1970s. “The courses were not measured right and timing was diﬃcult, so I started to do some research to find better ways to handle the races. My science background spurred me to come up with solutions.” As races became more popular over the ensuing decades, Katz increasingly found his skills in demand.

He said that as long as he can ride his bike, he will continue to help lay out the routes, manage the rulebook and be involved in races all over the globe. He has already been to Tokyo once and will return to Japan two or three more times before the games to make sure everything is ready. Despite this being his fifth Olympics, he said the thrill of being there never gets old. “It really is a great thrill and I have to pinch myself every now and then,” he said.

Nassau in fiscal crisis: comptroller Comptroller’s report shows 2017 ended with $122M deficit, $68M ‘rainy day fund’ deficit BY R E B ECC A K L A R

Nassau County is in a state of fiscal crisis bordering on fiscal emergency, County Comptroller Jack Schnirman (D-Long Beach) said Monday. The county ended 2017 with a $122 million deficit and with the “rainy day fund” $68 million in the red, Schnirman said as he delivered an annual financial report to the Legislature and county executive. The crisis is due to “the previous eight years of mismanagement” and the comprehensive annual financial report “further confirms that determination,” he said at a news conference outside the Theodore Roosevelt Executive and Legislative Building in Mineola. The report also showed that the county had outstanding property tax liabilities topping $500 million due to a flawed property assessment system and litigation liabilities rising to almost $400 million, he said. Earlier this year the comptroller’s oﬃce estimated the

Nassau County Comptroller Jack Schnirman said the county is in a state of financial crisis as he delivered the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report on Monday. 2017 deficit would be about $48.9 million. The discrepancy comes from the comptroller’s oﬃce learning that the way the coun-

ty had been defining operating funds excluded key funds. The final audited statements are based on a definition of “primary operating funds”

that includes total general fund, police district fund and sewer and storm water, according to the comptroller’s oﬃce, which it says “truly encompasses the county’s operational funds.” Schnirman likened the deficit in the rainy day fund, or unassigned fund, to a personal savings account being in the red. “It’s no way to run household and no way to run a government,” he said A negative unassigned fund balance shows that the available fund balance has been overspent and that a municipality’s assets and deferred outflows of resources can’t fund all purposes a government is bound to honor, according to the comptroller’s oﬃce. This is the first time since 2011 that the report was delivered on time, Schnirman said. The full report will be online for residents to view, as well as a guide to help make sense of the numbers. The report includes au-

dited figures from the county’s accounting team that were reviewed by an independent external auditing firm. “We aren’t going to play the game of using whatever set of books makes the county look best. The county must operate from one consistent set of financial facts that is accessible to all,” Schnirman said. “The days of using budgetary math to gloss over problems and kick the can down the road are over.” Schnirman said the report will be the “guiding document for future policy decisions.” Nassau County Executive Laura Curran said in a statement that the report “once again illustrates that the prior administration drained the county’s cash and spent more in 2017 than they did in 2016 without a source of funding.” She succeeded Edward Mangano, a Republican who served for eight years and did not run for re-election.

Suozzi pushes for immigration reform Congressman preaches compromise on border security, might be willing to support wall BY LU K E TOR R A N C E Congressman Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove) is among the members of Congress pushing for immigration reform in the wake of a family-separation policy that was widely condemned. “The policy of separating children from their families at the border was immoral and un-American,” he said in a statement last week. “Instead of bad policies, implemented poorly, we need to strengthen our border security, while crafting comprehensive immigration reform that addresses the urgent issue of the DREAMers and provides a pathway for over 11 million people to live legal and productive lives in America.” Suozzi’s statement came shortly after he toured a facility in Syosset that was caring for 10 migrant children who had been separated from their families at the southwest border. That followed a trip to Texas the weekend before with eight other members of Congress to inspect the Tornillo Detention Facility and the U.S.-Mexico border near El Paso. In his statement, Suozzi said he “will do everything I can to help expedite the reunification of these children with their moms and dads.” He also said he wanted oversight for the Oﬃce of Refugee Resettlement and the Department of Homeland

said that he is “a strong believer in border security” during the Syosset news conference and that the two parties need to work together on immigration reform. During an interview on C-SPAN last week, Suozzi said that more agents and detection equipment are needed at the border. He did indicate that he would compromise on a border wall favored by Trump. “I don’t think the wall’s the answer,” he said. “But if you want to put some physical structures up in some places as part of a compromise, OK, I’ll support that.” He said immigration reform needed a bipartisan approach, although he was unwilling to support an immigration bill taken up by the House last week (it was overwhelming defeated). He said the bill was a compromise between Republicans, not between the two parties. Some Democratic members of Congress and candidates have called for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an agency created in 2003.

The legislative session in Albany has come to a close, and the state Senate once again did not bring the Child Victims Act to a vote. The fate of the bill, which would expand the civil and criminal statute of limitations for victims of child sexual abuse, could fall in the hands of North Hempstead Town Councilwoman Anna Kaplan (DGreat Neck) as she seeks election to the 7th Senate District in November. The seat is currently held by freshman state Sen. Elaine Phillips (R-Flower Hill), who defeated Democrat Adam Haber by 51 percent to 49 percent in 2016, despite a Democratic plurality among registered voters in the district. In the first of a series of short notes called “Missed Opportunities Watch,” Kaplan said she’ll spotlight laws that could have been passed if the Senate Republicans had allowed them to come to a vote. The first bill up on Kaplan’s series: the Child Victims Act. “How is it that we’ve arrived at the end of yet another legislative session where the Republican Senate Majority has refused to bring the Child Victims Act to the floor?” Kaplan said in her note. “Let me be clear: There is no reason not to hold perpetrators of these heinous crimes accountable.” In a statement, Phillips, said she believes “we can, and should, come together on legislation that compensates every victim of child sexual abuse while also strengthening our laws to make sure that sexual predators and child abusers are found and held accountable for their actions.” “I will continue to work across the aisle along with my Senate and Assembly colleagues to find a workable solution that ensures justice for all,” Phillips said. The bill passed the Assembly this year for the sixth time; the state Senate has never called the bill to

State Sen. Elaine Phillips, left, North Hempstead Town Councilwoman Anna Kaplan a vote. It was also included in the budget by the Assembly and Gov. Andrew Cuomo, but blocked by the GOPcontrolled state Senate. Phillips co-sponsored a diﬀerent piece of legislation, the Child Victims Fund, that she said aims to help child victims of sexual abuse. That bill also" was not called to a vote in this year’s legislative session. Phillips’ bill involved creating a state compensation fund that would be available to all time-barred victims of child sexual abuse. Some advocates, like"Marci Hamilton, founding member of New Yorkers Against Hidden Predators, said it was a terrible bill. The fund would be overseen by the New York State comptroller and be" composed of $300 million in asset forfeiture funds from the Manhattan district attorney’s oﬃce. “This is a truly terrible idea, but what’s shocking about it is that it’s using available state funds in order to make sure that … all the institutions responsible don’t have to pay for what they did,” Hamilton said in a previous interview. Other advocates, like" Gary Greenberg," founder of ProtectNYKids," said the GOP-proposed legislation was a step in the right direction. However, Greenberg said he’s not happy the Republican leadership did not bring the Child Victims Fund or the Child Victims Act to a floor vote. Greenberg had previously endorsed Brad

Schwartz, who withdrew from a primary against Kaplan on Wednesday. Greenberg announced his endorsement of Kaplan. “This is the 12th year in a row the Republican majority has failed to vote on the Senate floor for statute of limitation reform in child sexual abuse laws,” Greenberg said in a statement. “Anna Kaplan is the kind of leader we need in the New York State Senate. Anna will make reforming SOL laws in child abuse cases her top priority and bring justice to all victims.” Kaplan said the Senate’s decision not to vote on the bill is “immoral and a tragic example of the common-sense legislation that dies in the Senate year in and year out.” If Kaplan defeats Phillips in November, it could help the Democrats take the majority in the Senate, and allow her party to be in control of what legislation comes to a vote. The GOP had a slim 3231 majority, with Democrat Simcha Felder of Brooklyn caucusing with the GOP, but the absence of Tom Croci, who announced he was going on military leave in May, left the chamber at a 31-31 stalemate for the end of the session. Croci announced he will not be seeking re-election in the fall, along with three other Republicans, the Albany Times Union reported.

State cancels project across L.I. Sound Proposal to build bridge, tunnel or both to link North Shore, Connecticut fails once again BY LU K E TORRANCE Like so many similar projects before it, a bridge/tunnel that would have crossed the Long Island Sound has been canceled. In a statement last Thursday, acting Transportation Commissioner Paul Karas said the state Department of Transportation would not move forward with the project. “After a careful review of a variety of considerations pertaining to the project, NYSDOT has decided not to move forward with it at this time,” he said. A study released last December by! Montreal consulting firm WSP examined three possible routes across the Sound using either a bridge, tunnel or combination of the two: on the east end of the island, from Wading River to New Haven and Branford; in the central part of the island, from Kings Park to Bridgeport and Devon; and on the western end, from Oyster Bay to Rye/Port Chester. According to the study, the route between Oyster Bay and Rye was preferred because it best

While that route was the shortest distance of the three, it was also the most expensive with a price tag ranging from $31.5 bil-

lion to $55.4 billion. The study estimated that the Oyster Bay route would have 86,400 daily riders if the toll was $20!and that the route would generate at least $520 million annually in toll revenue. The statement from Karas did not give a reason that the proj-

ect was canceled, but in addition to the high cost, the state would have faced strong opposition from North Shore residents. Possible opposition to the plan began to spring up earlier this year. During a March meeting, Flower Hill Trustee Frank Genese said the village was working on a

statement with other communities opposing the project. He did note, however, that it was unlikely the project would ever happen. “God knows how many times in my lifetime they’ve [proposed] a bridge or tunnel,” he said. This combination of price and local opposition explain why previous attempts have failed. There were eight prior proposals to build a link across the Sound, according to the WSP study. The earliest was a proposal by Sen. Royal Copeland in 1938. Perhaps the closest the!project came to happening was in 1965 when a $150 million bridge was proposed between Rye and Oyster Bay. The brainchild of Robert Moses, it initially had the support of Gov. Nelson Rockefeller until he withdrew his support due to local opposition, bond issues and environmental concerns.

Untold story of separated triplets Documentary follows trio, one raised in New Hyde Park, as part of psych experiment BY R E B ECC A K L A R In 1980, at 19 years old, Robert Shafran expected to introduce himself to a sea of strangers as he started his first day at Sullivan County Community College. Instead, he was met with warm welcomes and greetings – but they were greeting him by the wrong name, Shafran recalls in the trailer for the upcoming documentary “Three Identical Strangers.” When he got to his dorm another student, Michael Domnitz, told him he must be a twin, noticing the striking resemblance between Shafran and his friend Edward Galland, who had dropped out the year before. It turns out Shafran wasn’t just a twin, he was a triplet. The story of Shafran, raised in Scarsdale, Eddy Galland, raised in New Hyde Park and David Kellman, raised in Howard Beach, who were separated as infants, is told in the documentary, which was released Friday but won’t play on Long Island until Friday, July 6. The story may seem familiar to some who recall the triplet’s tabloid fame when their story first broke in the 1980s. They had an appearance on the “Phil Donahue Show” and in the movie “Desperately Seeking Susan.”

PHOTO COURTESY OF “THREE IDENTICAL STRANGERS”

The story of three identical triplets, separated as infants, is told in the documentary “Three Identical Strangers.” Although on the surface the story is a feel-good piece about three young men

finding new family, director Tim Wardle’s documentary digs into the harrowing psychological experiment that was the triplet’s upbringings. A study led by Peter Neubauer led to the separation of the boys after they spent six months at the adoption agency Louise Wise Services, according to the New York Post, which also reported they!had been born to a teenage mother on July 12, 1961, at Hillside Hospital in Glen Oaks. The boys were each placed in a New York home with a diﬀerent socioeconomic class; Kellman to a working class family, Galland to a middle class family and Shafran to an upper middle class family. The alleged purpose was to solve the age-old psychological question: nature versus nurture. None of the adoptive parents were told about their new son’s siblings. The agency merely told the parents the children were part of a “routine childhood development study,” according to the New York Post. “They approached other agencies to be part of the study, and [were told], ‘You can’t split up twins and triplets — what are you thinking?’” Wardle told the New York Post. “Even at the time, it was pretty extreme.” The boys were visited by research assistants for the first 10 years of their lives.

Wardle told the New York Post it appears researchers continued to study and collect data on the triplets’ progress rom afar for years after. The triplets’ could have suﬀered damage from the early separation. Their adoptive parents recall all three boys banging their heads against their cribs in distress, according to the New York Post. “It was absolutely separation anxiety,” Kellman told the New York Post. The controversial study may have even caused lasting damage; in 1995 Galland killed himself. The full extent of the study is still unknown and will remain that way for almost another 50 years. When Neubauer died at 94 in 2008 he ordered all documents relating to the study to be placed at Yale University and restricted until 2065, according to the New York Post. It leaves everyone who knows about the case, including the subjects themselves, with no answers to their many questions. “What did you do?” Kellman is seen asking in the movie trailer. “And how could you?” Reach reporter Rebecca Klar by email at rklar@theislandnow.com, by phone at 516-307-1045, ext. 204, or follow her on Twitter @rebeccaklar_.

North Shore stands with immigrants Dozens gather to march against Trump administration’s ‘zero tolerance’ policies BY JA N E LL E C L AUS E N Dozens of people demonstrated in Great Neck against the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy and the separation of families at the southern border on a hot Saturday afternoon, in solidarity with hundreds of protests going on across Long Island and the country. Protesters in front of the U.S. post office lined Middle Neck Road with signs like “Children don’t belong in cages,” “We were strangers,” and “families belong together.” They also led chants like “This is what democracy looks like!” and “No ban, no fear, immigrants are welcome here,” as some cars driving by honked in support. The event drew a number of local oﬃcials like Town Councilwoman Anna Kaplan, a Democrat running for state Senate, and state Assemblyman Anthony D’Urso, who said he was compelled to come out because he was an immigrant who would have done “anything” to come to the United States. “I couldn’t stand by the sideline and just witness the people that, based around good intention and human instincts, are here today to demonstrate

Opinion

OUR VIEWS

Protecting students, lifting voter turnout

tate Sen. Elaine Phillips was not wrong last week when she expressed concerns about Gov. Andrew Cuomo issuing partial pardons to people convicted of sex crimes. The pardons will restore the right to vote for 24,086 people who have been released from prison and are living under community supervision. Phillips, joined by Mineola Superintendent Michael Nagler and New Hyde Park-Garden City Park Superintendent Jennifer Morrison, as well as members of the Mineola Board of Education, said allowing convicted sex offenders to enter schools to vote could pose a threat to students. They have a point. The rate of recidivism among sex offenders is extremely high and allowing sex offenders"to enter a school to vote may be creating an unnecessary risk. We would give more credit to Phillips for raising this point if she had not joined her Republican colleagues in April in once again opposing the Child Victims Act. The legislation would extend the statute of limitations to file charges of sexual abuse to age 50 in civil cases, and to age 28 in criminal cases and establish a one-year window in which anyone would be permitted to bring a lawsuit, even if the statute of limitations had expired. Phillips said she needed more time to decide what to do. As we pointed out, the state Legislature had debated this bill for 10 years during which time the state Assembly has approved the legislation five times. And during this time victims have gone without justice and

sexual predators have gone without punishment — or even been caught. They remain at large with no supervision. And, presumably, some are entering schools to vote. Still, we are pleased that Phillips has now shown the ability to respond to a potential threat to children in less than 10 years. At her news conference, Phillips demanded that the governor “act immediately to reverse this decision, and to immediately tell us his plans to keep our children safe.” Not including, apparently, signing the Child Victims Act into law. In announcing the pardons, Cuomo rightfully called the right to vote fundamental and said “it is unconscionable to deny that basic right of citizenship to New Yorkers who have paid their debt to society.”" He also pointed out that restrictions on voting have had a disproportionate impact on people of color with African-Americans and Hispanics comprising" 71 percent of the population disenfranchised due to their parole status. And that the restoration of the right to vote is linked to reduced recidivism. In asking for Cuomo to reverse his decision, Phillips is asking to disenfranchise more than 24,000 people who have already paid their debt to society. This may be good politics on Phillips part, but it is bad policy. Especially when solutions to convicted sexual predators casting their ballots in schools are available. In fact, the solutions would actually increase school safety and improve voter turnout.

Editorial Cartoon

The first solution is – don’t place polling places in schools. The biggest threat to children in schools is not sexual predators; it is people with guns. Schools have been investing valuable resources in recent years to protect children from an armed intruder, so why allow hundreds if not thousands of people not known to school oﬃcials to enter to vote? It is worth noting that Phillips and other state Senate Republicans also opposed strong gun regulations in New York this year. Instead, they focused their eﬀorts on making schools safer. What other public locations could serve as a polling place? The answer is it depends. The universe of places that could serve as a polling place would

expand greatly with a simple election reform that would also have the benefit of increasing voter turnout — mail-based voting. This system involves mailing a ballot to the home of all registered voters a few weeks before Election Day. Voters can then mail the ballot back or drop it oﬀ to a designated location — in this case, not a school. Jurisdictions using this system have seen turnout up to seven points higher than expected. Several states or parts of states have already adopted the practice, including Utah, Washington state, Colorado, Oregon, Arizona, California, Minnesota and North Dakota. The biggest obstacle to adopting this practice in New York may be that it works.

New York state has served as a model for voter suppression that Republican state legislatures aspire to. And its support has been bipartisan. This helps explain why congressional primaries were held at an inconvenient time for most voters such as Tuesday, June 26 – the better to generate low turnout that favors political machines. But as shown by the primary loss of"Congressman Joe Crowley, the No. 4 Democrat in the House and the Queens County Democratic chairman, the times might be a changin’. Encouraging more Americans to vote, including those who have paid their debt to society, and keeping school kids safe at the same time would be a good start."

A silly season of political antics

t’s that time of year again — the silly season — when pols hope voters are preoccupied with summer festivities and not paying attention to their political antics. Let’s start with the recent nomination of long-time Nassau GOP boss Joe Mondello to be Ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago. After devoting 35 years to running the once-mighty Republican organization into the ground, Mondello accepted a very minor diplomatic post from President Trump to get out of town. At Mondello’s U.S. Senate confirmation hearing, he said, “I’d target ISIS recruiting as Ambassador.” That statement is ridiculous. I can’t imagine how he said it with a straight face. Mondello’s federal disclosure forms were most revealing. In his last two years as GOP boss, he raked in $1 million in real estate earnings, $775,000 for serving as “of counsel” to a local law firm and $259,315 from the GOP County organization. One might ask how many lo-

cal municipalities and districts controlled by Republicans retained Mondello’s law firm. My guess, a lot of them. Before leaving for the Caribbean Islands, the 80-year old Mondello turned over the decrepit GOP to a more youthful leader, 72-year old Joe Cario. Following the Mondello example, Cario will take a six-figure salary from the County Republican Party; will continue serving as CEO of Nassau’s OTB to the tune of $198,000 annually; and will maintain his law practice. As the French put it, “plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose”— the more things change, the more they stay the same.” Then there’s the federal criminal retrial of former GOP Sen. Dean Skelos and his son, Adam. The testimonies of prosecution witnesses have been extraordinary. One witness, a former North Hempstead councilman, said he gave Adam a $20,000 payment for no work to get “Dean oﬀ the back” of a client. Another accused Adam of

GEORGE J. MARLIN On The Right telling a vendor he would get his father to kill a $12 million Nassau County contract if he did not get a big raise for a “low-show” job. The company succumbed to pressure and raised Adams monthly salary from $4,000 to $10,000. Adam allegedly told one employer who questions his work ethic, “Guys like you couldn’t shine my shoes. Guys like you don’t amount to anything. And if you talk to me like that again, I’ll smash your [expletive] head in.” You can’t make this stuﬀ up.

Next, Nassau’s leading political grandstander, Richie Kessel, got himself in the news again. The chairman of the Nassau Industrial Development Authority (IDA), mouthed oﬀ that he would “like to focus on projects that deal with renewable energy.” He boasted he is an “expert” in that area. Kessel, when heading LIPA, was an “expert” lackey for the renewable energy industry and its lobbyists. “Expert” Kessel wasted millions of ratepayer’s dollars on a boondoggle wind farm oﬀ Jones Beach — a project that hired one of his political patrons — and later at NYPA another proposal to build windmills in Lake Erie. At NYPA, “expert” Richie orchestrated perhaps the worst energy deal in State history. His Hudson River Transmission 660 MW project was completed with politically-connected friends who had previously fleeced LIPA. That cable project has been an embarrassment that costs NYPA and ratepayers about $100 million a year! Awarding IDA benefits to re-

newable energy deals is wasteful because wind and solar projects already receive meaty Federal and State subsidies. Throwing in IDA money will do nothing but ensure Kessel and the IDA a speaking part at future ribbon cuttings. It was also reported that Kessel said when it comes to giving tax exemptions to companies retaining jobs rather than creating them, he “didn’t necessarily see this as a problem.” That’s a reckless comment. It opens the door to existing businesses to flock to the IDA threatening to leave Nassau unless granted tax relief. I hope County Executive Curran is learning that Kessel is addicted to getting his name in the paper regardless of the harm it can do to her administration or to taxpayers. Finally, reporters should ask every business executive appearing before the IDA if a lobbyist/ consultant has been retained. One shouldn’t be surprised if lobbyists hired turn out to be Kessel cronies.

A LOOK ON THE LIGHTER SIDE

A summer medley of fond memories

e interrupt this week’s news to bring you the sounds of summer. One of the nicest sounds of my childhood summer was the motorized drone of my dad’s lawnmower as he finished up the backyard outside my window. That meant it was a weekend, and as soon as dad came inside and showered there would be pancakes! Soon after, we’d all go to the neighborhood pool. After splashing water on my brothers for an hour or two, I would stretch out on my towel to dry. I would lie there, eyes closed, while the hubbub continued around me — small children yelling; teenagers shrieking and laughing; the splashes of people doing cannonballs oﬀ the diving board, which started with the metallic wobble of the board as it bounced in place, after someone had leapt oﬀ it; a short period of silence; and then the splash; and of course the lifeguard’s whistle that meant someone had broken another

rule. It all fades to a reassuring background as I fall asleep in the sun. Time enough, hours later, to realize I had forgotten to use what we called “sun tan oil.” When I joined swim team, there were early morning weekday practices. First thing in the morning, the pool water was still, and smooth as glass— and freezing cold. But you hardly noticed that after your first dive in and set of laps. Swim meets brought more whistle-blowing. They also brought the sharp ripping sound of a deck of cards being shuﬄed, for yet another round of the team’s endless game of “Hearts.” I never learned the game, but at least I came away knowing how to shuﬄe cards like a pro. After too many laps, I would bicycle home, thoroughly exhausted, and fall asleep in the backyard. I awaken to the high-pitched whine of a mosquito in my ear. It must be lost. Why would it hover there? Just to tease me? Might as well get up and

JUDY EPSTEIN

A Look on the Lighter Side water the garden. There’s a metallic squeaking while I turn the faucet, and then the hiss of water through the hose as I direct it at thirsty tomato plants. I’d better look out for the bees. When an overlooked peach falls from our tree and sits in the sun, it will be covered with bees. Dad insists the bees are harmless, drowsy and drunk as they are on fermented peach juice; still, they will react if your bare footsteps on them. That’s why flip-flops are a must.

Out in the street, boys use clothespins to attach playing cards to a bicycle. They think they’re making it sound like a motorcycle. To me, it just sounds like someone wearing flip-flops — which must be why I thought it was a great idea to dangle one foot near the front wheel of the bike I was riding. Oops! The flip-flop got twisted oﬀ while I was thrown to the ground, my aggrieved bicycle on top of me. The result was a lovely collection of bruises. There were vacations, of course, and car trips. Sometimes we visited a cabin on a lake. That meant the sound of someone letting the screen door slam – and the exasperated sigh of an adult who had just said not to do that! There was the “shush” of leaves moving in the breeze. There was the gentle sound of fish leaping from the water, mocking folks who had been out trying to catch them all afternoon. There was the tinny sound

of a transistor radio, at night, carrying far across the water and bringing the distinctive sound of a baseball bat hitting a ball, to the cheers of a crowd hundreds of miles away. Other times we visited grandparents in Brooklyn, New York. We kids were sent to bed before sundown, and fell asleep to the murmur of adults chatting on the terrace outside our window. There was also the clink of ice cubes as they swirled glasses of whatever they were drinking. No summer was complete without a trip to the beach. Big waves crashed and thundered up the sand, but sometimes snuck up quietly, with only the hiss of foam on their retreat to give them away. Children scream and laugh, mixed in with the cries of seagulls who are wheeling and swooping and looking to steal some french fries. More waves, more seagulls. The sun is nice and warm, perfect for dozing oﬀ…. Here’s wishing all of us a happy summer.

VIEW POINT

Senate should delay SCOTUS nomination

oes it make sense that the man who believes that the Attorney General’s role is to protect the president, that a court-authorized search of a white-collar criminal’s offices was “an attack on the nation,” a man who demanded a loyalty oath from the FBI Director, who fails to enact Congress’ sanctions against Russia for meddling in the election, and indeed, takes no action to defend the nation against cyber attacks on the election process, should be allowed to name a pivotal seat on the Supreme Court, which will decide issues that affect millions and millions of Americans for the next 40 years, well beyond his time in office? The reason the Senate should not hold confirmation hearings on Donald Trump’s nomination is because, as Sen. Cory Booker said, there is enormous conflict of interest, while investigations are underway into what role Trump and his campaign had in colluding with a foreign adversary in order to tip the election, whether Trump committed obstruction of justice or abused the power of his office,

or has been taking payoﬀs from a foreign power in order to direct policy a certain way. Trump has dragged out the same list he used during the 2016 campaign to assure the most rabid conservatives and evangelists to overcome their Never-Trumpism because he would realize their most fervent wish, to appoint a judge who would overturn Roe v. Wade – a list compiled by the Federalist Society with the Heritage Foundation’s seal of approval. He doesn’t need to “ask” a nominee. What the senators, Constitutionally-mandated to “advise and consent,” should ask is whether Trump made a tacit quid pro quo bargain to appoint in exchange for rulings that will say “thank you”. But the nominees from the Federalist Society also adhere to the principle advocated by nowJustice Samuel Alito: “the Unitary Executive” – a concept of extreme power that seems to only hold when a Republican is president. That is what Trump is banking on, a Supreme Court that will cement his unbridled power. Muslim Travel Ban?

KAREN RUBIN View Point

Well a President is in his right. Overturn Obamacare? The Constitution doesn’t specifically mention healthcare or public health. Gun violence prevention? Second Amendment, baby. Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid? The Founders didn’t specifically say, and these so-called “originalists” claim to have a direct line to the Founders’ intent. Protecting the environment, voting rights, workers rights, civil rights, consumer protection, public health? These judges have made it clear: a corporation has more rights than an individual,

even a religious soul more worthy of “protection” than a person’s conscience. Except that it is in the nation’s mission statement: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” And while originalists claim to have some spiritualist’s ability to divine the Founders’ intent, and swear under oath to the Senate Judiciary members they will uphold “settled law” and precedent, once they get on the bench they are ruthless in overturning precedent in order to further a political objective. Their judicial philosophy: “the means justify the ends.” Bush v. Gore; Citizens United. Hobby Lobby. Shelby. Ohio gerrymandering. Texas gerrymandering. Collective bargaining. Most critically, the Supreme

Court will be called upon to rule on Trump’s abuse of power and obstruction of justice: A President swears an oath to uphold the Constitution, obey the nation’s laws and treaties. Trump has already defied these. Take the illegal tariﬀs he has imposed on Canada, Mexico, the European Union (yet refused to follow Congress’ sanction against the Chinese company ZTE after China invested millions in an Indonesia project the Trump Organization had an interest in and Ivanka got more trademarks): these break treaties, defy international law, and can only be imposed on a temporary basis when national security is at stake (Canada, a national security threat?), when instead, Trump jeopardizes national security by overturning alliances. The Supreme Court may well have to weigh in. Torture. Cruel & unusual punishment. Due Process. Equal Protection. The Emoluments Clause intended to prevent a President from becoming a paid puppet of a foreign power. War Powers. Stop & Frisk & Deport. Continued on Page 116

What’s the big deal with nitrogen?

he harmful eﬀects of nutrients, and in particular nitrogen coming from wastewater treatment plants, septic systems, fossil fuel burning and fertilizer use, on Long Island waters is a wellcovered topic (see last week’s column!). Perhaps you’ve read about how high nitrogen loads in Long Island Sound cause excessive plant growth. Those plants, along with other living things in the water, consume oxygen. As the plants and fish die and decompose, more oxygen is consumed and the oxygen levels in the water get dangerously low. When this happens there are fish die-oﬀs, algae blooms, shellfish reductions, loss of coastal marshes and degraded wetlands, and, of course, beach closures. Nitrogen from fertilizer use and septic systems seeps into

the groundwater as well. That groundwater eventually makes its way to the Long Island Sound or our bays, estuaries and lakes and causes the same problems. Or, it is withdrawn from the groundwater for drinking water and has to be treated to reduce nitrogen levels that can be harmful to our health. High nitrogen levels can cause a condition called blue baby in infants which aﬀects the ability of the baby’s blood to carry oxygen. At rates 10 times those recommended by the EPA for drinking water, nitrate (the inorganic compound created when nitrogen mixes with oxygen) can convert to nitrite and under the right circumstances can be converted to a well-documented cancer-causing substance, nitrosamine. We have come a long way in addressing the nitrogen issue and are seeing levels decline, but it remains a significant

LYNN CAPUANO Earth Matters

problem. While septic systems are one of the primary contributors of nitrogen to our waters, the next largest contributor is fertilizers with high nitrogen levels. The fertilizer you use on your lawn and in your garden contains nitrogen. Some of that fertilizer will wash oﬀ the lawn and plants during rainstorms and will

make its way into our waters. The rest of it will seep into the groundwater and contaminate our drinking water and eventually find its way to lakes, bays, estuaries and the Sound. Right now, we spend a lot of money treating our wastewater and our drinking water to reduce the amount of nitrogen. The EPA and the state Department of Environmental Conservation set water quality standards for all New York waters and for drinking water. Before any wastewater can be discharged to a water body it must meet nutrient-level standards to ensure the receiving water will not exceed its state-set nutrient levels. Drinking water must also be treated before distribution to ensure its nutrient levels meet state-set standards. This all costs taxpayers money to maintain and upgrade treatment facilities, to conduct treatment, and to monitor wells

and discharge sites. There are also the costs to businesses because of beach closures, fish kills, and shellfish reduction. And there are the non-monetary costs to those of us who live here and can’t enjoy our natural surroundings and its offerings. The nitrogen issue has been around for decades and while things have improved, it has come at a steep cost in terms of taxpayer dollars, loss of tourism and costs to businesses. But each of us has the ability to really make a change, one person at a time, by spending our money diﬀerently and adjusting our behaviors slightly. More on what you can do at your own home to address this persistent and harmful problem of nitrogen in our water in next week’s column. Lynn Capuano is president of Terrapin Environmental Solutions

Ruling against unions restores fairness “Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.”!– Eric Hoﬀer There is little that I do not detest in the politics of the current administration in Washington, and that extends to a stolen Supreme Court seat awarded on such cynical manipulation, I can hardly see how Judge Gorsuch could permit himself any sense of personal dignity. Unfortunately, the sense of shame that once prevented people from benefiting in such unseemly and corrupt ways seems to have been vacated from our public ethic. However, this sense of entitlement extends to many sectors of society, including our public service unions who got nothing less than they deserved and perhaps even caused themselves, with the ruling in the Janus case. Let me be clear: if any employee of any company is exploited, underpaid, or whose services and sacrifice are abused in any way, shape or form, I will stand with that employee to assert their

rights. Dignity is not a privilege. It’s a responsibility of the employer, along with producing a product or service, to provide it for their workforce. With power comes responsibility. But the abuse of power is hardly limited to management. Because over the years, in certain parts of the country, notably our own, this power has been egregiously abused. And that abuse comes from the civil services creating a captive government, comprised of spineless elected oﬃcials, who are content to let the county remain in perpetual insolvency with dystopian policies, rather than make the right choices. In a certain sense, the unions’ success in obtaining out-sized remuneration for their members was almost accidental: thanks to the unrestrained costs of health insurance, and public service employees and teachers pay such a small portion of it, the burden falls on the homeowner and the taxpayer, putting an automatic, annualized tax elevator as costs rise, with nothing in place to re-

strain it. That’s on top of the taxpayer funding their own double-digit hikes for coverage. Twenty years ago, this arrangement was problematic. Today, it’s disastrous. There is also a knock-on effect: commercial property taxation is so oﬀ the chart, the county has to oﬀer generous abatements just to get businesses to stay, much less locate here. That revenue shift has to be made up somewhere. If you need a clue who that is, it’s someone reading this. The unions, in order to justify what is nothing more than the systemic looting of other workers and businesses in the county, have embarked on an endless campaign of self-adulation. Read any teacher message board online to marvel at this institutionalized narcissism: The NYSUT has every third-grade teacher convinced they’re storming the beaches at Normandy every semester. The message here is they’re worth every penny and more,

and to hell with whoever they impoverish or displace. The obvious solution and one which will happen one day is that each person is responsible for funding their own health insurance, (and pensions) and the costs eﬀectively siloed individually. Not only is it manifestly absurd for someone working two jobs to fund the retirement and health care of someone with a $200,000 pension, it should be dawning on American businesses that adding health insurance to the cost of production aﬀects our own competitiveness, which is something we can’t hang on China. But think of the benefits. Property taxes are slashed, especially critical under the new tax laws, and we become newly competitive again, on our own merits, not on giveaways. Economic distortions melt away, and the property tax system may begin to function with a glimmer of normality. The Janus ruling could erode public service union leverage.

That is indeed a shame because there are parts of the country where teachers and law enforcement are grotesquely under-compensated, and even under-equipped with basic supplies, something I am greatly appreciative of not having to put up with here. No teacher in this country should take a penny out of their pocket for so much as a pencil. But there’s such a thing as overplaying your hand. No doubt alarm bells are ringing at the CSEA, ASFCME, and NYSUT oﬃces. They should be afraid. They should also acknowledge that they are no less avaricious than any hedge fund manager. But like Judge Gorsuch, I doubt they’ll acknowledge their own hand in their duplicity. And that is because from the Supreme Court to the Village Hall, our national polity is in ruins. Donald Davret Searingtown

Why I stepped aside in primary race

or the past nine!months, I have! had the unique honor to run for New York state Senate in the 7th District. I am profoundly grateful to all my supporters, volunteers and incredible campaign staﬀ who made this experience possible. As I have said all along, campaigns aren’t about candidates, they are about the shared mission among all those involved. In the Democratic campaign for District 7, the mutual priority is to win the New York State Senate by flipping this vital swing seat — a victory that

would deliver the full power of Albany into the resistance against the dangerous policies of Donald Trump. Given the major statewide and national implications at play, it is imperative that the Democratic Party has a conflictfree path to victory in November. That means supporting the candidate best positioned to win in the general election. Despite the many achievements of my campaign, including having been the top fundraiser among declared challengers for the New York state Senate and, one of the most media covered state legis-

lative campaigns in New York, I have concluded it is time for me to bow out so that the Democratic Party may unite behind a nominee without the obstacles of a primary. We need to be unified, to galvanize all our manpower and the resources necessary to win such a contested and expensive race. Unlike the Congressional primaries that were just held, our state primaries in New York are not until Sept. 13. That leaves the eventual winner with a precarious timeframe of seven weeks; where they must rebuild a financial war chest, unite the party, and

run a general election against the Republican incumbent who will be fortified with millions of dollars from Big Money. So, for the greater benefit of Long Islanders and New Yorkers, I am stepping aside to put my support behind Anna Kaplan. I believe she will carry the mantle on issues my campaign has been fighting for including, universal health care for all New Yorkers and tax relief from SALT. Indeed, Anna has a record standing for the Democratic values and principles we need.!She has been a consistent

advocate for common sense gun legislation, women’s reproductive rights, the Child’s Victim Act, election reform / fair voting rights, and protecting our environment particularly our freshwater aquifers in Long Island. Together as a unified voice, I know we can win back Albany and pass these vital pieces of legislation for New York; and, defend our state from currently destructive federal policies. Thank you again to everybody who supported my campaign. Brad Schwartz Port Washington

Shed the Meds event: a success story

t is a privilege to be a part of a community that fosters so many active and viable nonprofit organizations. On June 3, the Great Neck Water Pollution Control District hosted it’s second “Shed the Meds” pharmaceutical take back

event co-sponsored by Reach Out America, Great Neck Breast Cancer Coalition, North Shore Action, Nassau County Police Department, Northwell Health and the Boy Scouts. Months of preparation went into this three-hour event

that emphasized community outreach. Volunteers, from the above organizations, helped spread the word as well as assist residents the day of the event. This successful program collected hundreds of pounds of unwanted and expired medica-

tion for disposal in an environmentally safe manner. This accomplishment was due to the conjoining of so many local groups who work tirelessly throughout the year to enhance our community. We at the GNWPCD are grateful for these ex-

ceptional organizations and look forward to their future participation at our next event in the fall. Patty Katz Commissioner Great Neck Water Pollution Control District

Looking forward to end of Roe v. Wade

s reported, Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced that he will retire on July 31st. This gives President Donald Trump the opportunity to nominate a true conservative to the Supreme Court.

Although the Democrats would like this to occur after the mid-term elections. I hope President Trump gets his way and this occurs sooner than later. One fear that some have is this could mean the repeal of Roe v. Wade, a decision that was

the legalization of abortion. I would applaud the repeal because in my opinion, I believe all life is sacred from conception to the grave. As a grand knight of St. Anastasia Knights of Columbus Council #5911, I believe what it says in the Declaration of

Independence. Which states,” We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights that among them is life, liberty and the pursuit of hap-

piness.” Well, why are not the unborn aﬀorded these same rights? I, therefore, believe a change is a coming. Frederick R. Bedell Jr. Mineola

Thinking outside the box on court pick

am encouraged by the over 700 protest marches which occurred on June 30 in over 700 American cities. But given the fact that the Democrats have no unified message and no leader who speaks for the party, I am disheartened. I am tired of hearing that the Republicans have the majority in Congress, and soon, on the Supreme Court. I am sick of McConnell calling the shots, almost with the acquiescence of Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. Is this what Democratic leadership is about? What would I do?" Here are my recommendations. Call a meeting of all Demo-

cratic senators. Tell Donnelly, Heitcamp and Manchin ) that in exchange for their vote against Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, they will be given unlimited resources to pay for campaign expenses including costly TV ads. As further incentive, I would promise them a new bridge, a hospital with their name on it or unlimited funds for federal highways to be constructed in their states. (Isn’t this how L.B.J. did it?) 3. I would call in Sen. Collins of Maine and Sen. Murkowski of Alaska and urge them, as believers in women’s reproductive rights, to vote their conscience

and not approve Trump’s nominee. And as outlandish as this may sound," maybe we could promise them that they would run unopposed, i.e. we wouldn’t field a Democratic candidate Instead of the bifurcated groups which organized the marches yesterday, all progressive groups must band together and coordinate their activities. Is there any reason why March-on.org, the Brennan Center, Public Citizen, all antigun activists, civil rights groups and pro-choice organizations shouldn’t unite in opposition to the Federalist created list of prospective nominees for SCOTUS?

Along these lines, why shouldn’t the biggest Democratic contributors band together and pool their funds. Here I have in mind people like Tom Steyer, George Soros, Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg. Mark Cuban, Michael Bloomberg, Barbra Streisand, Sheryl Sandberg and Bill Maher. I understand the problem of asking individuals and groups to join hands, work together and sing “kumbaya.” Will Rogers also recognized the problem when he said: “I am not a member of any organized political party. I’m a Democrat.” But these are extraordinary times and they call

for extraordinary measures. One last suggestion. When Martin Luther King rallied support for civil rights he employed a tactic — “passive disobedience.” Violence was ruled out. Can we not utilize the approach successfully employed by Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. King? Can we not fill the jails as King did? Just a few days ago in Washington D.C., actress Susan Sarandon and many other women were arrested. Good for her! Shame on our legislators! Comes the revolution! Dr. Hal Sobel Great Neck

54th birthday of public transit on L.I.

uly"2018 marks the"54th Anniversary of federal government support for"public transportation." The success of public transportation can be traced back to one of the late President Lyndon Johnson’s greatest accomplishments which continues benefiting many Americans today. On July 9, 1964 he signed the “Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964” into law. Subsequently, this has resulted in the investment over time of several hundred billion dollars into public transportation. "Millions of Americans today on a daily basis utilize various public transportation alternatives. They include local and express bus, ferry, jitney, light rail, subway and commuter rail services. All of these systems use less fuel and move far more people than conventional single occupancy vehicles. Most of these systems are funded with your tax dollars thanks to President Johnson.

"Depending upon where you live, consider the public transportation alternative. Try riding a local or express bus, commuter van, ferry, light rail, commuter rail or subway. "Fast forward to today. Fortunately, we have the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and its various operating agencies, including NYC Transit subway and bus, Long Island Rail Road, Metro North Rail Road, Staten Island Rapid Transit Authority, MTA Bus along with Nassau County’s NICE bus system." Chartered by the State Legislature in 1965 as the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Authority, it was created to purchase and operate the bankrupt LIRR. The MCTA changed its name to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority in 1968 when it took over operations of the NYC Transit Authority. Previously, in 1953 the old NYC Board of Transportation passed on control of the municipal subway system, including all

its assets to the newly created NYC Transit Authority." In Nassau County, we have Nassau Inter County Express (NICE) formerly Long Island Bus and City of Long Beach bus systems. In 1973, Nassau County purchased equipment, routes and some facilities of numerous private bus operators most of whom were experiencing serious financial diﬃculties. These private bus operators included Bee Line, Rockville Center Bus Corporation, Utility Lines, Schenck Transportation Inc., Hempstead Bus Corporation, Jerusalem Avenue Bus Lines, Universal Auto Bus, Roosevelt Bus Lines, Stage Coach Lines, Hendrickson Bus Corporation and others. Their respective fare box income was becoming insuﬃcient to cover current day to day operating expenses. They also lacked the funding for purchasing new modern replacement buses along with upgrading antiquated out of date maintenance and operat-

ing bus garages. Nassau County followed up that same year entering into a lease and operating agreement with the MTA to continue providing local bus service. This resulted in creation of the Metropolitan Suburban Bus Authority. Later, Metropolitan Suburban Bus Authority was followed by Long Island Bus and as of Jan. 1, 2012 Nassau Inter County Express. Many of the same routes operated by MSBA. LI Bus and NICE can be traced back to the various private bus operators. Up until 1973, various private bus operators ran service on many of the very same routes customers patronize today. "Suﬀolk County has Suﬀolk County Bus and Town of Huntington Area Rapid Transit." Suffolk County Transit was created decades ago to represent various private bus operators providing them with both capital and operating assistance in exchange for running various franchised routes within the county. Some of these private opera-

tors have included during diﬀerent times Utility Lines, Coram Bus, Alert Coaches, Suﬀolk Bus Corporation, EBT Bus and several others. There are other private bus and ferry operators along with many smaller suburban operators providing service. The ancestors to MTA Bus that operated in NYC were eight private bus operators. These included Steinway Bus and Queens Transit, (which combined to become Queens Surface Bus Corporation) along with Green Bus, Jamaica Bus and Triboro Coach. They all who provided service in Queens, Command Bus (previously Pioneer Bus) ran in Brooklyn along with New York Bus and Liberty Lines Bronx Express operating primarily express routes from the Bronx to Manhattan. The city between 2005 and 2006 entered into an agreement with the MTA transferring their franchises, routes and equipment to the newly created MTA Bus. Continued on Page 110

Audit leads to whistleblower review Policies were not being distributed to all Nassau County employees: Schnirman

BY R E B ECC A K L A R Nassau County whistleblower policies were not being distributed to all employees as required by county charter, Nassau County Comptroller Jack Schnirman said he discovered during an initial investigation as part of his countywide nepotism audit. Schnirman (D-Long Beach) said his oﬃce reached out to the county executive, and a revised copy of the policy was distributed to all employees and will continue to be provided to new hires. The discovery led to further review of the county whistleblower policy by the county executive staﬀ, which found it to be outdated and not in line with current state law, Schnirman said. The county policy requires employees to disclose informa- Nassau County Comptroller Jack Schnirman tion to a superior to protect whistleblower status, he said. “[It] dissuades individuals from making such complaints and the county attorney is going the charter,” Schnirman said. He said he was grateful to and disclosures, which is bad, to seek the necessary changes to

the county executive’s office for “acting swiftly on these issues and partnering with our office for reform.” In a statement, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran said, “transparency in government is the top priority of the Curran Administration. We are happy to work with the Nassau County comptroller throughout this process.” # The discovery stems from preliminary review of policies as part of a nepotism audit Schnirman announced in April. Working with the office of human resources and civil service, Schnirman’s office is currently reviewing documents and policies. The work has also led to ensuring that all county employees take online training on the county sexual harassment policy. Moving forward, the audit will continue to look at each department and its employees to fix policies and guidelines that have allowed nepotism and patronage to “run wild in Nassau

County,” Schnirman said. “So many good, honest, hard working employees in the county are forced to sit by and watch those with so called right connections advance ahead of them,” Schnirman said. “And way too many smart people … are forced to wonder if or when they’ll have a fair shot.” Through the audit, Schnirman said he seeks to develop a comprehensive set of reformoriented recommendations, to make sure “the mistakes of the past can’t be repeated in the future.” Schnirman added that the audit is not focused on calling “out a few high profile names.” “It really is an example of what we call smart audits can accomplish,” Schnirman said. “It’s not about playing gotcha, it’s about finding real ways to make structural reforms.” Reach reporter Rebecca Klar by email at rklar@theislandnow. com, by phone at 516-307-1045, ext. 204, or follow her on Twitter @rebeccaklar_.

Cahill, 62, was diagnosed with the chronic illness at age 10 – and six years ago he received a double lung transplant. On Friday, two days after his 62nd birthday, Cahill set oﬀ on a 100-mile bike ride from the Cohen Children’s Medical Center, where he began treatment back when it was Schneider Children’s Hospital, to Montauk. “[I want to] show people with cystic fibrosis that you can do things … you can be normal you can bike, you can swim, you can run,” Cahill said. When Cahill was first diagnosed, the life expectancy for children with cystic fibrosis was about 16 to 18 years. Cahill, and his parents, didn’t let his diagnosis stop him from living his life. He went on to play football, basketball, baseball, running and pole vaulting throughout his life. “We want parents to realize that your son and daughter, they’re normal and they should get out there and live a full life,” Cahill said.

Mangano to return to court Oct. 9

Retrial of ex county executive, wife on corruption charges follows mistrial in May BY LU K E TORRANCE

Former Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano

The retrial of former Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano and his wife, Linda, will begin on Oct. 9, a federal judge announced last Thursday. The couple will once again be facing corruption charges after their case ended in a mistrial!in May. According Newsday, U.S. District Judge Joan M. Azrack said the jury selection for the retrial will begin in September, although no specific date has been set. Prosecutors told Newsday that they expected the trial to last four to six weeks. The Manganosâ€™ last trial went on for 12 weeks, but the jury could not reach a conclusion on the couple and the nature of their!relationship with restaurateur! Harendra Singh.

Part of that trial was also focused on former Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor John Venditto, who was also facing corruption charges for his relationship with Singh. Singh testified early in the case that! he had showered the Manganos with free meals, gifts and a! $450,000 no-show job for Linda Mangano in exchange for lucrative deals and county contracts. Singh said that Venditto received similar treatment, and that he gave the town supervisor free meals and limousine!rides in exchange for millions in loan guarantees backed by Oyster Bay. Edward Mangano and Venditto were charged with conspiracy to commit federal program bribery and honest services wire fraud. Mangano was additionally charged with extortion

and Venditto with securities fraud. Linda Mangano was charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice, making false statements to the FBI and obstruction of justice. All three pleaded not guilty. Venditto was found not guilty on all counts in May. But members of the jury became increasingly hostile as they! failed to reach a decision on the Manganos, Newsday reported. After nine days of deliberations, Azrack declared a mistrial. Prosecutors told Newsday that they planned to retry Edward and Linda Mangano on the same charges.

Heights approves sharing services BY A M E L I A C A M U R AT I A Manhasset village on Monday approved sharing a road-paving contract with a Port Washington village. The Plandome Heights Board of Trustees unanimously approved a conflict of interest waiver and a cooperation agreement with the Village of Baxter Estates, allowing the village to bypass the approximately $15,000 engineering fee and typical bidding process. Mayor Ken Riscica said during a meeting of the Port Washington and Manhasset mayors, he recently spoke with Baxter Estates Mayor Nora Haagenson, who expressed concern about the village’s need for road work. In the Plandome Heights capital road work contract with Stasi Brothers Asphalt Corp., other municipalities are allowed to use the same contract price since the work went through the bidding process. “The law changed a couple of years ago where villages can share their competitively bid contracts with others,” Riscica said. “It’s part of the shared services concept. They can use our pricing because it was competitively bid — it was just bid by someone else.”

Village Attorney Christopher Prior, who also serves as village attorney for Baxter Estates, said he will draw up the agreement. When Trustee Dan Cataldo asked if Prior would be paid twice for the work, he said he would bill Baxter Estates for the time. Riscica said the conflict of interest waiver covers Prior’s position as attorney for both villages. Trustees saw the shared services plan as a way of helping the neighboring village less than three miles to the north. “I think it’s nice that you’re starting it because there may be a day we need their help,” Trustee Dianne Sheehan said. In other business, Riscica announced a $125,000 Transportation Infrastructure Economic Assistance grant through state Sen. Elaine Phillips for future road projects. Riscica said the money will likely be put toward the repaving of the Bournedale area. Trustees also approved the use of some village roadways for the Don Scott Memorial Foundation 5K set for Sept. 16.

‘A School for Love’ D’Urso praises Shake-N-Go at the Preserve The Sands Point Preserve Conservancy proudly welcomes back the North Shore Music Festival in a modern production of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s comic opera “A School for Love” on July 21. Guests will spend the evening in two Gold Coast mansions: Hempstead House for dinner followed by the performance in Castle Gould’s Great Hall. A stellar cast will come together for this clever interpretation of Mozart’s famed comedy about the sexes. “A School for Love” tells the tale of a pair of young lovers who test each other’s faithfulness, or lack thereof. It is a timeless story of love, trust, deception, and forgiveness – when two young soldiers express their certainty that their beloved fiancés will remain eternally faithful, a mysterious and skeptical man oﬀers them a wager, warning that the women can be tempted to infidelity. The men accept, and events unfold in ways completely unforeseen by the young lovers. “For years this opera was not done, for it’s very racy and scandalous comedy – perfect for an evening at the Sands Point Preserve,”" said Dan Klein, the festival’s executive director. The opera is one of Mozart’s three Da Ponte operas, which were based on libretti by Lorenzo Da Ponte – an Italian/American librettist, poet, and Roman Catholic priest. “We’ve wanted to tackle the Da Ponte Mozart operas for a while, and thought this would be a good starting point,”"Klein said. “As Long Islanders, we

should all feel an aﬃnity for Da Ponte as he spent much of the second half of his life in New York City and on Long Island – he is buried across from Queens College just a few miles from the Preserve.” This opera features several of Mozart’s most memorable compositions, which will be performed by a full orchestra under the baton of Maestro Anthony LaGruth. Bass-baritone Dan Klein leads the cast as Don Alfonso. Also returning is tenor Tom Mulder, an audience favorite from his portrayal of Nemorino in “Elixir of Love” last year. He will be performing the role of Ferrando. New to NSMF is director" Nick Gisonde, and performers Max Potter as Dorabella, Bonnie Frauenthal as Fiordiligi, Nick LaGesse as Guglielmo, and Melanie Leinbach as the sassy maid of many faces, Despina. Members of this outstanding cast have performed in prestigious performing arts centers, from the Metropolitan Opera to the Kennedy Center, in venues across the United States, Europe, and Asia. As the story of the opera takes place in Italy, the dinner menu will have Italian elements, paired with fine Italian wines. Cocktails, dinner, and dessert will be served in Hempstead House at 6 pm. The performance will follow in Castle Gould’s Great Hall at 8 p.m. To purchase tickets for the dinner and opera combination – or just the opera at 8 p.m. – see www.

State Assemblyman Anthony D’Urso attended the ribbon cutting for the Shake-N-Go’s new solar system at their oﬃces in Port Washington. The 900 kW solar system, designed and implemented by New York-based EnterSolar, is a major investment in the community by Shake-N-Go and will

generate nearly 100 percent of the facilities annual power consumption. This will provide numerous environmental benefits to its Long Island neighbors and reduce Shake-N-Go’s dependence on the power grid. “Shake-N-Go’s commitment to sustainable practices is highly

commendable, and I am confident that the installation of their solar array will not be the end of their ecologically friendly innovations,” said Assemblyman D’Urso, “I appreciate the positive economic impact which Shake-N-Go has had on the community and their commitment to more green practices.” Shake-N-Go has operated in Port Washington since 2004, where they manufacture a wide array of synthetic hair products. They are currently the world’s largest manufacturer of hair extensions, wigs, hairpieces, and accessories. Shake-N-Go has received recognition for their attractive facilities on numerous occasions, as well as their contributions to the Port Washington community.

D’Urso at aquifer meeting State Assemblyman Anthony D’Urso participated in a conversation held at the Port Washington Library organized by Residents Forward Executive Director Mindy Germain. The attendees included

representatives from local water departments, New York City Department of Environmental Protection, United States Geological Survey (USGS), local elected oﬃcials and others who are interested in protecting and maintaining our precious water supply. Some of the main topics discussed were the LI Groundwater Sustainability Study, establishing an advisory committee for the project, the Queens Wells and conservation eﬀorts. “As chairman of the Long Island Sound Task Force and a member of the NYS Assembly’s Environmental Conservation Committee protecting our groundwater is one of my top legislative priorities,” said Assemblyman D’Urso.

Weber grads move up As eighth-graders graduating from Carrie Palmer Weber Middle School waited patiently for their respective names to be called during the school’s 2018 moving up ceremony, they had the opportunity to reflect on the last three years with happiness and pride and look forward to their move next door to Paul D. Schreiber High School. With their soon-to-be former principal Chris Shields extolling

their praises before them, and their principal-in-waiting Ira Pernick present to accept them, the Weber Class of 2018 looked on as they were celebrated and praised for rising to the challenge of adolescence and adjustment to their academic careers. “We learned how to be our own best, unique selves,” said class speaker Mollie Tashlik, who delivered some constructive and

inspirational words of advice to complement those from Mr. Shields, Board of Education President Karen Sloan and Superintendent Kathleen Mooney. “We grew academically, and as people, too.” Mooney advised the students to use their youthful energy to pursue their hopes and dreams and take advantage of the many wonderful opportunities available to them at Schreiber. As a symbolic gesture of this energy, she presented the class with a model of Newton’s Cradle as a gift to illustrate the physics principles of energy and momentum. “Schreiber is a great place to stay in motion,” she said. On cue, Mr. Shields and their house assistant principals called the students to the podium to accept their middle school diplomas, as they continued to move forward.

Temple Judea dedicates Ava’s Living Garden Under a warm early-summer sky on June 22, a special ceremony was held in Temple Judea’s Lipsey Gardens to honor the memory of Ava Gottlieb, who was the young granddaughter of Temple Judea President Douglas Weigler and his wife, Rena.! Ava’s Living Garden was dedicated to the celebration of the daughter, good friend and active student. Ava, a vivacious fifth-grader, succumbed to cancer at a much-too-early age. She leaves her loving parents, Dara and Brandon Gottlieb

and little sister, Carly. In addition to the Temple congregation, many members of her family were present to dedicate Ava’s Living Garden. Ava’s parents spoke lovingly of their daughter and the joy and pleasure she brought to them. All spoke admiringly about her zest for life, how she aﬀected their lives and how she continues to be a source of inspiration to all who knew her. Rabbi Todd Chizner spoke about the role of Ava’s Living Garden to nurture hearts and minds.

As Lauren Resnikoﬀ, Education Director of Temple Judea explained, the Garden will be sanctified in Ava’s memory as the students of Temple Judea will use this “living garden” throughout the school year. They will use it to plant vegetables to be donated to those in need, as a place to explore spirituality and prayer, and as a place for families to come together to celebrate Jewish holidays.!! A plaque will be placed near a weeping cherry tree to dedicate this space as Ava’s Living Garden.

As a testimonial to Ava’s life, these words, written by Stacey Needleman, were spoken by Erik Groothuis, outgoing President of Temple Judea: “May her memory be for a blessing for her family and friends and a reminder to all of us of the fragility of life and yet the permanence of loving memories”.

North Hempstead’s beaches and waterfront are now accessible to all this summer with the installation of beach mats at both North Hempstead Beach Park and Manorhaven Beach Park in Port Washington. Supervisor Judi Bosworth was recently joined by the Town Board to unveil the new beach access mats at North Hempstead Beach Park. The Town installed ADAcompliant beach access mats in order to make the beach and waterfront more easily accessible to all residents, including those using wheelchairs or walkers.! It will also make traveling on the beach easier for all residents, allowing easy navigation with a stroller, cart or cooler. The installation of these beach pathway mats is a part of Supervisor Bosworth’s initiative

to improve the quality of community life for residents with disabilities. Supervisor Bosworth created the Disability Advisory Committee in 2016 which has since provided the town valuable input on diﬀerent programs for residents with disabilities including extending the town’s Project Independence Taxi Ride program, which oﬀers free or discounted taxi rides, to residents with disabilities.! The town is also planting a sensory garden in Clark Botanic Garden which will be accessible to people with disabilities. It will encourage garden guests to touch, taste, admire and listen to what is growing there. For more information on the beach access mats or the Town’s Disability Advisory Committee, please call 311.

Bipartisan fundraiser for migrant kids Lafazan leads effort to bring Dems, GOP together to raise for 10 sheltered at MercyFirst BY R E B ECC A K L A R Democrats and Republicans came together to raise money for the 10 immigrant children being sheltered at MercyFirst in Syosset after being separated from their families, with a fundraiser held in Syosset on Monday. The event at Hurricane Grill and Wings, sponsored by Nassau Unity, was bipartisan, and regardless of political affiliation all were invited and welcome, Legislator Joshua Lafazan (D-Syosset) said at a news conference outside the Theodore Roosevelt Nassau County Executive and Legislative building the morning of the event. “Only in a true democracy does everyone come together, and nobody get left behind,” Lafazan said. The final fundraising tally was unknown as of Tuesday morning, but Lafazan said the event likely raised over $5,000. “I was blown away at the outpouring of support from people, honestly from all over Nassau County, who came because they supported the mission of helping children,” Lafazan said. “And really the beauty of it was we had Republicans and Democrats as elected officials who brought di-

Drucker of Plainview and Assemblyman Charles Lavine of Glen Cove, as well as three Republicans, Oyster Bay Town Clerk James Altadonna Jr., and Oyster Bay council members Anthony Macagnone and Rebecca Alesia. Lavine, Drucker and Alesia joined Lafazan at the news conference announcing the fundraiser. Alesia said she is compelled to help the children separated from their parents at the border not only as an elected official, but also as a mother and a human. Alesia added that both parties have to work together, and that this is an example that “we agree on more than we disagree.” Entrance to the event was $23, to symbolize the 2,300 children who were separated from their families,

Lafazan said. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar told senators last Tuesday that the agency had 2,047 migrant children in custody, according to The Washington Post. President Donald Trump initially imposed a “zero tolerance” policy that led to children being separated from their parents when crossing the border illegally. Later he signed an executive order to stop the policy of separating children and parents, and will instead detain them together, according to The New York Times. Last week a federal judge in California ordered the administration to reunite the children with their parents within 30 days. New and unwrapped clothes and toys will also be collected and distributed to MercyFirst. Lafazan said he has asked MercyFirst to use the funds to ensure that the immigrant children being housed there have everything they need. Drucker said this is the first time in his lifetime that he feels as if his government leaders have “abandoned us.” However, Drucker added that collective voices can force leaders to listen. “We must never lose our passion or compassion for those who suffer,” Drucker said. Lavine said he is pleased to stand with his colleagues in government so one day when these children are released and reunited with their parents, they will know there were “better angels in America” who stood for and with them.

heart health

ummer is the time to get outside and enjoy the sunshine, and Dr. Antonio Madrid, an interventional cardiologist with St. Francis Hospital of Roslyn since 2004, has four tips for living a hearthealthy summer.

1 Exercise

Madrid said he recommends his patients exercise at least 30 minutes a day, even if it’s just strolling on your lunch break. “There’s no reason, especially when the weather’s nice, that people can’t walk,” Madrid said. “I find that exercise is a key thing because to lead a healthy lifestyle, 60 percent is diet and 40 percent is exercise. Exercise is a big contributor to staying healthy.”

2 Substitutions

Barbecues are the quintessential summer gathering, usually stocked with heavy meats and carbohydrates. Madrid said there’s no reason to skip the party but recommended

swapping the bun for a lettuce wrap or changing the traditional burger to a turkey, seafood or veggie burger. “These are things that are common sense, staying away from the heavy meats and carbs,” Madrid said. “That’s what really does people in in the summer.” For the seafood lover, Madrid said an easy heart-healthy barbecue meal is aluminum foil packs filled with fish, summer vegetables and spices.

3 Moderation

The summer is basically two months of a holiday mindset, and moderation is key for enjoying your favorite summer snacks and drinks without going overboard. Mardid said he often advises his patients to watch their sodium, caffeine and alcohol consumption rates. For sodium intake, The American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300 milligrams a day and an ideal limit of no more than 1,500 milligrams per day for most adults.

“I tell people, be careful of salt,” Madrid said. “A lot of patients have high blood pressure or heart failure, and when they go to these barbecues, before they know it they’re full of fluid because of the sodium.” According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, moderate alcohol consumption is defined as one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men. A study by the Mayo Clinic recommends no more than 400 milligrams of caﬀeine per day for adults. An average large cup of coﬀee, for example, is about 300 milligrams.

4 Hydration

Madrid said hydration is important all year and especially during the summer when the body is sweating more often from the heat. Almost no one drinks enough water, Madrid said, and recommends about two liters or half a gallon of water every day.

car safety

keeping your car cool in the heat

ou may love the heat of summer, but you need to help your car keep its cool when temperatures rise. An engine that runs too hot can damage the vehicle and threaten your safety. Here are some tips we’ve compiled to help prevent your car from overheating:

11 Safety Tips 1. Park in the shade

You can feel the temperature diﬀerence between the shade and the sun – and so can your car. Parking in the shade not only keeps you cool, but can prolong the life of your car. No shady spot? Use a sunshade to reduce heat inside the car.

2. Tint your windows

A local dealership or auto body shop can apply tinted windows to help keep your car cooler, and protect your interior from sun damage.

3. Use a sun shade

Keeping a sun shade in the car is helpful because you can’t always guarantee that you’ll find a shaded or covered area to park in. These UV heat shields will keep the interior from getting super-hot, plus it

the upper vents on “high” to get the air flowing. But you’re actually better oﬀ directing the air through the floor vents. Hot air rises, so switch to the bottom vents and put your blower on the maximum setting to push that air out. Then, once the car begins cooling, you can open the upper vents again.

6. Use the fresh air setting on

protects your interior from the damaging your A/C eﬀects of the sun. You might even consider Using the re-circulation setting getting a custom-made sun screen that is means you’re just moving that hot, designed to fit your make and model of trapped air around your vehicle, so that’s car. These special shades can be more efsomething you want to use after your car fective at keeping all of the rays out. has had the chance to cool down. Give it 10 minutes or so, then switch over.

4. Get rid of hot air

Closed windows trap hot air, and the glass serves as a conductor that helps heat up the enclosed space. Leave your windows open slightly so the air can escape – and if you have a sunroof, crack that, too. Make sure the opening is not large enough for someone to reach through. If you leave your windows cracked, remember to keep an eye on the weather – one sudden summer storm could lead to a soggy interior.

7. Keep your eye on the temperature gauge

Located on the dashboard, the device has a needle that should always be pointing toward the center. If it points toward hot, pull over, turn oﬀ the engine and let the car cool down.

8. Turning on the heat

Turning on the heat may be the last thing you want to do on a hot summer Most people get in the car and turn day, but it can pull hot air from the en-

5. Turn the floor vents on

gine compartment and cool the engine. It won’t fix the underlying problem, but it’s a good measure for long drives.

9. Add engine coolant

This is especially important in hot months. To check the coolant level, open the hood and locate the coolant reservoir. The coolant level is shown by indicator lines on the reservoir. If too low, simply add the appropriate amount of coolant and reattach the cap. Engine coolant is often sold as a 50/50 mix of water and coolant. You can also buy concentrated coolant and mix it yourself. Safety tip: Never add coolant to a hot engine. Wait for the engine to cool before removing the cap or pouring in coolant.

10. Have your cooling system flushed by a mechanic

Even if you keep engine coolant at the right levels, it will eventually get dirty and need to be replaced. Flushing involves draining old coolant from the radiator, cleaning it with flush fluid and adding new coolant. Mechanics recommend a flush every 40,000 miles, but check your owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s recommendation.

What can cause your car to overheat?

11. Consider replacing your battery

If your car battery is older than three years, it may not be providing the power it once did, so your car has to work harder and can overheat. Your mechanic can help you determine whether you may need a new battery. If you find yourself in a situation where your car overheats, follow these steps to ensure you and your vehicle remain safe: • Pull over, park your car and turn oﬀ the engine as soon as possible. Let your car cool for a minimum of 10 minutes.

• Open the hood of your car to allow the heat to clear out quickly. • Once your car has cooled oﬀ, turn the ignition to its first position (don’t start the engine). If you see that the temperature gauge is within a normal range and engine fluid levels are suﬃcient, try to start the engine. • If the engine makes unusual sounds or it does not start at all, it’s best to stay on the safe side and call for roadside assistance to have your car towed. This will allow for a mechanic to inspect it and make the necessary repairs.

Hot temperatures alone might not be causing your vehicle to overheat. If your car’s cooling systems aren’t functioning correctly, it can lead to serious damage to your engine and expensive repairs. Here are a few common engine problems that can cause your car to run hot that you should know about: • Coolant: Every car has a cooling system to help keep the temperature of the engine down. If your cooling system has a leak, blockage or pump malfunction, the coolant might not be able to circulate properly. Cooling system malfunctions aren’t just problematic when it’s hot out; very cold temperatures can cause coolant to freeze and prevent circulation. • Thermostat: Another possible issue could be a problem with the thermostat. A vehicle’s thermostat is responsible for regulating the amount of coolant flowing through the engine. A broken or malfunctioning one can easily cause your car to overheat. • Low Oil: A car’s oil does more than just lubricate moving parts. It also helps to remove excess heat from the engine. If your vehicle has low oil, it might be causing your car to run hot. • Radiator Fan: If your cooling fan isn’t turning on or running at the right level, it can case your car to overheat. Radiator fans usually run on electric motors, so any motor mechanical problems can lead to your fan not providing enough cool air flow. Of course these aren’t the only possible problems that can cause a car to overheat. It’s a good idea to find a reliable mechanic who can diagnose and service your car, and get protection in case your car overheats while you’re on the road.

“It is 100 percent preventable and still a leading cause of death of our children!” This is what Bobby Hazen, district manager and water safety coordinator of Saf-T-Swim, says about accidental drownings in the United States. “Most people think they have knowledge when it comes to pool safety, but you would be surprised,” he said. “There is a need to continue to educate the public.” Hazen has been involved in swim instruction and water safety for 20 years and five years ago he decided it was time to take further action. “I started the national program and website www.enddrowingnow.org because we needed more education and awareness,” he said. “In 2012, little 22-month-old Richard EdwinEhmer Specht (Rees) drowned in his parents’ backyard pond. It was what motivated me to make sure that this kind a tragedy wouldn’t happen again.” A labor of love, the website has every topic related to drowning, from stats and links, to water safety tips in oceans and pools, to where to get swim lessons and where to take classes to be better prepared in an emergency. “We compiled useful information working with national programs, like the National Prevention Drowning Alliance, Consumer Product Safety Commission, and the Safer 3,” he said. There definitely was good information out there, we just wanted to make it accessible to everyone, from parents, to caregivers, to young children.” Saf-T-Swim, along with ReesSpecht Life, started elementary school programs which were inspired by Rees. “We teach at a young age how to prevent a drowning and be safer in and around the water,” Hazen said. “Our ‘ReesSpecht the Water’ early education program has been very successful. The interactive fun campaign helps provide education and awareness to school children in a fun way.” Saf-T-Swim always sees an increase in calls after a drowning. “This is why the website was started,” Hazen said. “Calls like these should be made before a tragedy, not after. We need a united eﬀort to make a diﬀerence to help End Drowning Now.’

❏ Clear pool of all balls and toys to deter chil-

dren from entering the pool ❏ Check drain covers for cracks, missing screws and that they meet Virginia Graeme Baker (VGB) standards For more information visit www.enddrowningnow.org

pet safety

he oﬃcial start to the summer is upon us and this “fun in the sun” season also happens to bring with it some hazards – especially for our pets. To make sure your pet’s summer season is as fun and safe as possible, North Shore Animal League America would like to share these important Summer Pet Safety Tips:

Never leave your pet in a car!

Parking in the shade and leaving the windows open is not an option. Even if you are just running a quick errand, in a hot car your pet’s temperature can rise rapidly and they can overheat in a very short period of time. It only takes minutes to reach dangerous levels leading to heatstroke and even death.

Always make sure your pet has cool, clean water available.

This is one of the easiest ways to avoid heat injuries in the summer months. Dogs, and even cats, drink more on hot days, and water warms up quickly, so make sure to change your pet’s water often.

Food and drinks you serve your family and friends may be poisonous to your pets.

Backyard BBQs and pool parties are

what we all look forward to during the summer, but keep an eye on what your pet is eating when you get the party started. Dogs and cats can experience severe digestive ailments when a change of diet takes place. The following products are extremely poisonous to pets: raisins, grapes, onions, chocolate and products with the sweetener, xylitol.

If your pet likes to relax in the shade of a yard or deck, watch out for yellow jackets, bees, toads, and snakes. Do not walk your dog near fireworks

Besides the obvious danger, the loud noise can be very scary.

Do not force your dog into the water if he/she is frightened.

are stored safely out of reach.

Some dogs do not like to swim. Do not allow your dog to hang out of If your dog likes to swim, do not leave the window of a moving car. him/her unattended. Bathe your dog afObjects such as rocks or tree limbs terwards to remove all sand, mud, and could seriously injure your pet, or he/she chlorine. Also, be sure all pool chemicals might fall or jump out.

Do not allow your animals to ride in the back of a pick-up truck.

They could be thrown out, or they may jump out.

Travel tips for pets in a car

ake sure all shots are up-to-date. Get a health certificate from your vet that includes updated vaccinations. Make sure they’re wearing their ID tags, including their rabies tag, at all times. Have your pets micro-chipped; if they become lost, you’ll have a much greater chance of finding them. Never leave your pet alone in a car. Pets succumb to heatstroke very quickly. · Pets succumb to heatstroke very quickly. Always have fresh water available and collapsible water bowl. Make sure you have an abundance supply of food and treats. Pack a grooming bag including wipes, disposable poop bags, leash, collar, and harness. · Include your pet’s favorite toys and treats.

For your dog’s safety, travel with a safety-certified, crash-tested crate to provide your dog with a safe and comfortable environment. Keep their routine as regular as possible, including diet and exercise. Provide plenty of exercise before your trip to help your pet relax in the car. Pack a first aid kit for your pet. Take a picture of your pet with you, in case you get separated. Consider a portable fan and window shields during summer heat. Remember, if you must leave your pet alone in a hotel room, leave the animal in a crate and post a do not disturb sign on door so that the dog doesn’t escape if the door gets open.

Take your pets inside if there is the possibility of a thunderstorm.

Loud thunder may frighten them, or lightening could strike them.

Have your pet checked for heartworm.

Though commonly found in dogs, heartworm can aﬀect cats, too. Heartworm disease is more commonly seen in warmer weather. Easily transmitted through insect bites and/or contact with another infected animal, this disease inhibits proper pumping and functioning of the heart muscle, and may cause heart failure if not treated. Have your pet checked and administer a heartworm preventative.

Check your pet daily for fleas and ticks.

It is important to apply flea and tick prevention to your pet monthly or as indicated on the specific product label of the product that is used. Fleas and ticks can cause anemia, carry other harmful parasites, as well as carry other diseases such as Lyme Disease. There are several options available for flea and tick prevention. Ask your veterinarian which product addresses the specific needs of your pet given its individual environment.

If your pet likes to relax in the shade of a yard or deck, watch out for yellow jackets, bees, toads, and snakes.

Bite or sting symptoms are usually swelling of the face or aﬀected areas. Once stung or bitten, the pet’s skin may start to look wrinkly or bumpy. This is a first indicator and, if not treated by a veterinarian, could result in death due to toxins taking over and shutting down the animal’s body or causing air way swelling and suﬀocation.

Your pet CAN get sunburn.

This is more likely in white dogs, hairless dogs, and dogs with light colored fur, such as Pit Bulls and Dalmatians. If you have a pet that meets this criteria, it is recommended that you apply sunscreen to your pet before it is allowed to be outside for an extended period of time.

Keep your dog’s paws cool at all times.

Limit the time you let your dog roam in the backyard and outdoors, especially on hot asphalt. Since the ground heats up quickly during the summertime, your dog’s body heat can rapidly rise, and sensitive paw pads can get burned.

Know the signs of heat stress.

In these warm summer months it is best to be aware of the signs of heat stress by exposure to extreme temperatures. Check the animal for signs of heavy panting, glazed eyes, a rapid heartbeat, restlessness, excessive thirst, lethargy, fever, dizziness, lack of coordination, profuse salivation, vomiting, a deep red or purple tongue, and unconsciousness.

simply YOGA

he summer is a time to enjoy the warmth of the sun as well as its radiant light. Since ancient time the sun has been adored and worshipped, whether as a source of heat, light and life or as a symbol of spiritual illumination. Awed by the power of the sun, yogis have for centuries paid homage to the sun by performing surya namaskar. In Sanskrit surya means sun, namaskar means to bow or salute in honor; sun salutations are a way of honoring the sun and bowing to the source that rises each day sustaining life on this planet. The summer is the time when the sun is closest to the Earth and the energy that it oﬀers is abundant and full. A perfect time for surya namaskar. Sun salutations are a series of postures that are connected to each other with the flow of the breath. Traditionally surya namaskar are done at the beginning of the practice and usually done several times.

honoring the sun

The benefits of sun salutations are to warm the muscles by taking the body through a large range of motion; to link the mind, body and breath, which is the union of yoga; and to increase overall circulation. There are many variations of surya namaskar, but the following is the classical and most common. It consists of 12 postures linked and moving with the

breath.

Begin in Mountain Pose:

• Inhale extend the arms out and upover the head to Extended Mountain. • Exhale dive the arms out and down into Standing Forward Bend. • Inhale lengthen the spine forward to Half Standing Forward Bend. • Exhale step back to Plank and

IT’S

lower hovering in Four-Limbed Staﬀ Pose (or alternatively come all the way to the belly) • Inhale extend the spine in Upward Facing Dog Pose (or Cobra). • Exhale lift the hips to Downward Facing Dog Pose (hold for up to 5 breaths). • Inhale step or jump forward lengthening the spine as you do to Half Standing Forward Bend • Exhale fold to Standing Forward Bend. • Inhale arms out and up to Extended Mountain • Exhale lower arms to Mountain Pose. Whenever and where ever you may be doing your surya namaskar this summer, fill up with the energy of the sun feeling an inner brightness and fullness as you do, and allow that brightness to radiate out to others, just as the sun does.

beach BODY A

re you one of those people who have tried just about everything under the sun to lose weight: Atkins, MacRobiotic, Paleo, GlutenFree, Fruitarian, Vegan, Pescetarian? Are you feeling so frustrated by your weight loss efforts that you want to make a huge bonfire in your backyard and burn all your diet books? Most of us ladies yearn to look sexy in a bikini and men want to sport their six-pack. So, toss away those winter sweaters along with your winter blues, and get ready to wear that goal bikini you bought last summer. There is a way of eating where you can lose the weight, burn tummy fat, and have optimum digestion without the suffering. Take a deep breath; you don’t have to suffer any more to lose weight! Introducing Cephalic Phase Digestive Response. CPDR simply put means that the thought, sight and smell of food stimulates gastric secretions in your gut to prepare for the digestion of food even before you have taken your first bite. What this means, is that much of the indulgence of eating comes from the eagerness of the sensations, textures and flavors of food. This works because, the brain needs to experience pleasure and satisfaction from the thought of food, even before eating in order to signal to your body to stimulate digestive juices. Here’s the catch, if you eat too fast

cheat your way to a bikini body

or absentmindedly, your brain will understand this gastronomic experience as unsatisfying and you will, therefore, be left feeling hungry —even if you have eaten a full meal! Basically, the more awareness and presence you bring to each meal, the less you’ll need to eat, and vice versa, the less awareness and presence you bring to each meal, the more you’ll need to eat. Give each of your food an adjective and begin to feel, smell and taste before you eat. What can you eat? Anything you want! The amazing benefit of CPDR is less about what you eat and more about how you eat. Our minds want to experience the pleasure of eating (the process) and not just the aftermath of being full (the result).

Tips to master CPDR

1. Allow each meal to be 20 minutes long. 2. Breath during meals. 3. Chew slowly. 4. Appreciate what you’re about to eat, before, during and even after your meal. That’s it! Easy as pie. Not a word about “diet” because it isn’t a diet, because there is no calorie counting. Just when you had almost given up all hope of wearing that little itsy bitsy polka dot bikini, this came along!

Stop sand from spoiling summer fun

Few things are as synonymous with summer recreation as a day at the beach enjoying the sun, sand and surf. While a beach isn’t a beach without sand, sand can adversely affect beach excursions. Depending on location, sand is comprised of many materials and comes in a vast array of colors. The resource LiveScience says silicon dioxide in the form of quartz is the most common component of sand. Feldspar, mica and rock fragments are other materials. In tropical loca-

tions, the sand varies because there are no rich sources of quartz nearby. Tropical sand may take on a white or pastel hue thanks to the shells and skeletons of reef-living marine organisms that make up the sand in these locations. Black sand is comprised of volcanic glass. Regardless of its composition, sand is a nuisance to some people. During and after a beach trip, these suggestions can make sand less problematic: ■ Protect the skin. Sand reflects

the sun’s rays and can be hot to the touch. Experts estimate that beach sand can reach 120 to 130 F. Wear sandals or water shoes to protect delicate undersides of the feet. Apply sunscreen to all areas of the feet, which are vulnerable to sunburn. ■ Powder up. Baby powder, made of simple cornstarch, can help remove sand from the feet and body. Apply a thin layer to areas where stubborn sand is sticking, and it will fall away. ■ Avoid digging dangers. Dig-

ging holes in the sand seems like fun, but it can be dangerous if a collapse occurs. Harvard researchers have catalogued 72 sand collapse stories over the past decade-plus, and 60 proved fatal. A good rule of thumb is to dig sand holes that are no deeper than the knees of the smallest person in the hole. ■ Rinse all items. Shake and rinse all beach toys of sand before returning home. Hang towels, coverups and other clothing outside to shake oﬀ on a clothesline before laundering. This will cut down on the amount of sand tracked inside.

kids health

ummer is here! From a pediatric perspective, the summer is usually one of our healthiest busy seasons. But, don’t be fooled. The summer months have as many injury and illness pitfalls as any other season.

Bike and “roller” injuries. ●Most fractures and head injuries are

born from them. It is of utmost importance to have children remember to wear all protective gear and parents should do the same to serve as a role model.

Sun safety issues. ●Children under 6 months cannot have

sunscreen applied so be wary of direct sun exposure for more than a few minutes. For everyone else, a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or better with zinc oxide is best. On the flip side, soaking up some of those rays is beneficial! Take a few minutes to get sun into the skin to absorb some of that Vitamin D you missed over the winter months.

● Heat exhaustion and

dehydration.

Heat exhaustion is caused by hot temperatures and not drinking enough water to keep up with them. Usually a person will feel or actually faint. Water is the best source of hydration. A supplemental sports drink is helpful if children are active during a higher heat index. The best way to know how hydrated you are is to check your urine. If it is very clear, you other people or surfaces. Handwashing is are doing great. If it is really yellow, then the best mode of prevention. The biggest concern is dehydration. Ice pops usually you are in trouble. save the day!

Those darn bugs. ●Mosquitoes and ticks are our biggest ● Swimmer’s ear. This usually presents as a painful ear enemies. Try to avoid standing water and being out around dusk. Spray products with DEET are best; parents spray DEET on the clothes of infants and toddlers and not directly to the skin. There are plenty of safe citronella balms to apply to the skin. In terms of ticks, make sure to have someone check your skin and hair especially after being in taller grass or wooded areas.

● Coxsackie virus (a.k.a hand foot

and mouth).

This is a typical summer illness. Symptoms generally include fever, sore throat, and sometimes vomiting and diarrhea. It is easily distinguished from other illnesses by a typical rash that looks like little cold sores on the palms and soles of the feet and the back of the throat. It is very uncomfortable and takes time to get over. Coxsackie is spread by contact with

that hurts to be pulled on or touched. Prescription ear drops usually take care of it. Unfortunately, this means avoiding underwater swim for 5-7 days. For prevention, mix a solution of 2/3 white vinegar and 1/3 water and drop in ears pre and post swim.

● Rashes are common as well

during these warmer months.

A rash can arise from anything, from the heat, to a bathing suit. Heat rash looks like prickly heat, salmon colored goose pimples. Thick soothing creams (such as aloe for sunburn) usually helps. How would you know if a rash is something worse, like poison ivy? Usually with poison ivy the rash is intensely itchy and there is a history of exposure to the plant or even exposure to the oils and debris when these plants are mowed

down. Usually the skin bubbles up like blisters with fluid. A good tell-tale sign is the scratch mark of the plant itself and the fluid inside the scratch. Treatment options include cleaning all clothes from the day of exposure and cleaning under nails. There are some oil reducers that can be placed within the first day on the skin to avoid spread to other areas. Calomine lotion, antihistamines, oatmeal baths, and sometimes steroids (creams and oral) could be needed as well.

Food borne illnesses. ●Food (primarily beef and chicken)

should not sit out before grilling for longer periods of time to avoid infections such as E. coli and Salmonella. These illnesses generally present with diarrhea possibly with blood and could aﬀect the kidneys as well. Dehydration is common. So, it is best to keep food indoors and only take it out when ready to prepare. Also, wash hands thoroughly when preparing foods.

●IfTravel. you are travelling within the Unit-

ed States usually the above illnesses are

typical. If you are travelling out of the country, check bulletins about illnesses on the cdc.gov website and to make sure to have all the proper vaccinations and prophylactic medications (i.e. for malaria) prior to travel. No matter what, when you travel you should take your health record with you. Make sure to bring all the medicines you need. Make sure you have phone numbers for your providers and make sure you know where medical facilities are where you are going in case of an emergency. If you are travelling by car, make sure you have correctly installed your car seats (you can check guidelines at nhtsa. gov) and are following state regulations. Everyone should be wearing their seatbelts. Ultimately, the most important thing is to have a great time and enjoy family and friends. But be careful because the summer is also a time of peril as welldon’t be caught oﬀ guard! Dr. Sania Wilkins, Port Pediatrics, a division of ProHealth.

cosmetic TRENDS

rom Paris, Milan and London, to the Gold Cost of Long Island, beauty is trending “Shimmer.” It’s easy to achieve this fresh, eﬀortless look this summer. To achieve this inspired look, use highlighters. This type of face makeup attracts light, creates the illusion of brightness and height which will ultimately give you the appearance of “lit-fromwithin.” Celebs often use highlighters in addition to contouring to enhance features. For summer, however, contour less and highlight more. Highlighters could be tricky; they cannot be applied all over the face. For an instant boost that gives you a younger and youthful appearance, apply your highlighter under the brow, on the apple of the cheek, on the bridge of your nose, the inner corner of your eye, diagonal along the cheekbone, on your “cupid’s bow,” and/or in

get your shimmer on

the center of your eyelid. You can even mix the highlighter with your moisturizer. It’s important to set your foundation with setting powder prior to highlighting for a smoother application. Setting powder will prevent your skin from looking greasy on those summer nights. The way you care for your skin this season is just as important as the makeup you apply to it. Use an oil-free moisturizer in the morning to avoid looking too oily on hot days. A huge must during the summer months is a primer; this will help hold all of your makeup in place. Apply the primer after your moisturizer. Shine bright this summer and always remember, beauty comes from within. Daniel Rabenou, founder of Bar Beauty by Daniel @ Ambiance, East Hills.

college PREP

he summer is an exciting time for those high school senior graduates getting ready to start college and move away from home. This is a big step for both the child and the parent. There are many diﬀerent emotions to manage, and many things to take care of before the big day arrives. In between trips to the beach with friends, summer work, and routine physicals, there is also a lot of shopping to be done. Amanda Zuckerman, co-founder and creative director at Dormify.com, said

shop and transform your dorm room

“We suggest starting to plan for your college dorm as early as May, especially to begin collecting inspiration and talk color scheme with your roommate if you’re planning on coordinating your look. We like to suggest buying statement decor items like your bedding, wall decor, and small furniture pieces earlier in the summer so you can continue to add on complementary accessories that fit your look and space.” Zuckerman addws, “We believe in having quality pieces that can take you from year to year in college and most importantly, make it feel like a home away from

home.” It’s important to remember that dorm rooms cannot accommodate all of the comforts of home and so be wise when shopping. Look for items that can serve as double duty. Zuckerman said, “When living in a small space it’s important to make sure things are functional. We always encourage our customers to use their desks as both a workspace and a vanity, which can be easily accomplished by including some make-up organization solutions in

addition to the traditional desk accessories like pencil cups, paper trays, and magazine files.” She adds that storage ottoman and trunks can be used for extra seating or a nightstand while also acting as a place to hold extra clothing and shoes. Transforming your standard dorm room to a place you want to call home may take time. Although must have items, like twin extra-long bedding and a desk lamp are important, there are plenty of fun options to elevate the look of the room. It’s your home now!

fall weddings

it’s not too early to plan

pring and summer may be considered the height of wedding season, but fall is quickly becoming one of the most popular times of year to get married. With autumn wedding season right around the corner, now is the time to finalize all of the details that will make your wedding one of a kind. This fall, guests can look forward to innovative wedding trends that feature new color palettes, exciting décor, and exceptional food. Here’s a look at fall 2018 wedding trends and tips about how to showcase them at your upcoming wedding.

Pops of color

All-white weddings can be breathtaking, but dramatic uses of color have been growing in popularity. Bright hues add excitement to any summer wedding, but for fall the focus will be on darker décor, highlighting colors like burgundy, burnt orange, mauve, and eggplant. Expect to see wood tones, matte black ceramic vases, and bridesmaids in navy.

Bring the outdoors indoors

Lush greenery and plants allow couples to be married in their own secret garden. Greenery can be used for table runners, to decorate the venue, draped across doorways, columns, the bar, and winding up staircases. Couples are pushing boundaries by creating unexpected greenery displays like tropical wedding arches made of palmetto leaves and suspended greenery installations made of winding ivy.

Translucence

Couples looking to create wow moments for their guests are embracing translucent materials like glass and acrylic that show oﬀ embellishments while allowing the space to feel light and airy. Acrylic wedding arches, glass cake tables, and clear tents are a few favorites. Complement glass and acrylics with scores of candles, lush florals, and over the top design elements. Make a statement with gorgeously flourished calligraphy on acrylic place cards or seating charts.

Unexpected invitations

New shapes and unconventional materials are turning traditional cream wedding invitations on their head. Couples aren’t just personalizing their wedding day; they are embracing innovative invitations that give guests a hint of the

extraordinary celebration to come. Those looking to explore this trend while maintaining a classic feel should consider a custom envelope liner with a map drawn of their wedding location or an interestingly shaped die cut invitation in classic white or ecru. For couples who want to push the boundaries further, move past paper invitations. Custom invitations can be printed on wood, etched on mirrors, or incorporate nontraditional materials like fabric or stone.

giving back into their big day. More couples are asking for donations to their favorite charities in lieu of gifts, hiring nonprofit music and dance performance groups, and taking volunteer honeymoons. Couples are also giving back at the end of their wedding day by arranging for extra reception meals to be donated to Second Harvest or by donating their wedding flowers to local hospitals and shelters using a service like Repeat Roses.

Giving back

Food favorites

Weddings are the perfect time to shower the special couple with love and attention. Grateful couples are paying it forward by incorporating

Couples are embracing custom menus that move beyond his and hers cocktails. The wedding menu has become

a new and exciting way for couples to share their love story with their guests. Couples who met in New England might feature mini lobster and crab rolls as passed hors d’oeuvres while couples who vacation every year in Spain might include classic tapas offerings. Couples are also exploring their cultural heritage when it comes to menu planning. Unique menus intrigue guests and allow couples to share special memories and traditions with their friends and loved ones.

easy snacks

t is finally summer time! With summer comes sunny days and trips to the beach. With all of this time spent outdoors in the heat, it can be harder to eat well. Planning ahead can allow you to avoid the beach snack bars, and eat well all summer long! Packing for the beach can be hard because foods can spoil. Just because it is harder, does not mean you should not do it. These tips will make packing for a beach day easy! Start by bringing a cooler. A cooler will allow you more variety in what you can pack, and filling it with cold drinks will help you avoid dehydration. Pack frozen water bottles for the day in the cooler to be used as additional ice packs. This way as the frozen waters melt, you will have cold drinks all day. Next, think about pairing carbohydrates with proteins for snacks. Snacks that consist of carbohydrates paired with proteins will give you energy and help keep you feeling full. Single serv-

what to pack for your next day at the beach

ing packets of peanut butter or almond butter travel well and can be paired with carbohydrates such as bananas, apples or whole grain pretzels. Trail mix is also a great beach snack and you can make it catered to your own taste. Making your own trail mix not only allows you to cater to your own food preferences, but you can avoid the high

sodium and sugar varieties sold at snack bars. Try your favorite combinations of nuts, seeds, cereal and dried fruit. Hummus is another great beach snack. Pack pre-cut carrots, cucumbers, broccoli and peppers to dip into hummus. A bonus of this snack is that the wa-

ter content of vegetables helps contribute to hydration. Granola and protein bars are convenient because they are easy to carry with you and will help keep you feeling full from one meal to the next. However, not all bars are created equal. Choose bars with a short and recognizeable ingredient list, about 200 calories, and at least 3 grams of protein and fiber/serving. Choose flavors for the beach that are not chocolate based to avoid having them melt. Fruit such as apples, oranges and bananas are convenient to travel with because the peel serves as their carrying case. Fruit in its own carrying case is helpful since the peels can protect the fruit from the sand. Besides bananas having a peel protecting them from the sand, bananas are a great beach snack because the potassium in bananas actually help fight bloating! Happy snacking, and enjoy your beach days!

spill the ICE TEA he first printed sweet tea recipe (iced tea) appeared in 1879 in a community cookbook called Housekeeping in Old Virginia, by Marion Ca-

Now just to clarify, tea and fruit blends are the combination of any or all of the following: • leaves from tea plants • dehydrated fruit pieces • fruit botanicals(oils) • leaves from herbal plants There are some fruit only infusions that contain no tea leaves whatsoever. These are much diﬀerent than tea and fruit blends. The mouthfeel is completely diﬀerent and the steeping time is usually longer. Many people like the idea of “Sun Tea” which means using the energy of the sun to steep tea leaves. However, tea made by tea bags or loose leaf tea placed in glass jars of water and then left in the sun, can harbor bacteria that can make you ill. According to the Centers for Disease Control, using the sun’s rays to make tea can facilitate the growth of a bacteria called Alcaligenes Viscolactis. The water sitting in the jar on your porch will not get any hotter than 130 degrees, this simply is not hot enough to kill this bacteria. It would need to be at least 195 degrees for three to five minutes. It’s, therefore, best to brew your tea the traditional way or to give Cold Brewing a try. Now is definitely the time to break out the iced tea glasses and start sipping no matter what method you choose. Iced tea is a drink to be enjoyed year round! Shawn Geitner/CEO Certified Tea Sommelier Beleave Teas Inc., www.beleaveteas.com

Hot Brewing:

Hot brewing involves heating the water to the temperature appropriate for a particular type of tea, steeping it for the proper time, letting it cool and then pouring it over ice. This method pushes the flavor out of the tea leaves at a faster rate and produces a stronger tasting tea.

Cold Brewing:

Cold brewing is a slower and more gentle process. The tea leaves are allowed to steep for a much longer period of time in water that is never heated. The flavor is slowly pulled out of the leaves in this way and produces a softer but no less flavorful tea. This method is great for larger amounts of tea.

DID YOU KNOW?

To harvest whole tea leaves, more care has to be taken. This means they are picked by hand or by gentle machines that mimic handpicking. Loose leaves come from the topmost part of the tea bush which is where the flavor and health benefits are more concentrated. Whole tea leaves still have their botanical benefits intact, as opposed to cut or chopped leaves that lose them into the air leading to quick degradation.

Popular iced tea blends often include fruit due to the compatibility of flavors. In fact, tea and fruit is the perfect marriage when it comes to Iced Tea.

bell Tyree. However, it was the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis where it was popularized. Richard Blechynden had a pavilion in which he was oﬀering free hot tea. Due to the hot weather, no one was interested. He quickly improvised a way to make iced tea by running the tea through chilled pipes. The free iced tea was a huge hit with the fairgoers and Blechynden’s new invention was taken to New York City and used in Bloomingdales to help serve this new summertime drink to shoppers. Since then, iced tea has become a universal drink oﬀering. There are many cultural variations and preparation methods, but all of them are essentially based on brewing a tea that is then served chilled. The two simplest ways to make a great iced tea from loose tea leaves are:

Wholes leaves are infused more slowly which allows the complex flavors and aromas to shine. Using loose leaves opens to the door to a world of diﬀerent types of iced teas. Greens, Oolongs, Whites and Herbals all make wonderful tasting iced teas. The health benefits associated with loose leaf teas are the same in both hot and iced versions.

going GREEN

optimizing the energy efficiency of your home

on a smaller scale. Their use around an outdoor AC unit actually can increase its eﬃciency by as much as 10 percent, according to the DOE. But without proper tending, the greenery can creep into units and hamper functionality or block airflow.

ummertime is here. That means two things: rising temperatures and rising utility bills. Homeowners can’t do anything to control the mercury. They can take steps to make their residences more eﬃcient and be more environmentally friendly along the way. After all, houses use 22 percent of the total energy consumed in the United States, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). About half of that expense comes from cooling and heating. However, the eﬀective use of vegetation and other eco-friendly approaches can not only beautify your property but also cut cooling bills during these warmest months by as much as 40 percent, the DOE estimates.

Find plants that require less water

Shrubs and bushes look good and don’t need much water to thrive. Flowerbeds require a little strategy. Group like plants together that share similar water needs, pouring a good amount of water in a single area that will spread across a smaller space. Aerating soil improves water flow to plants. Also, consider watering in the morning when evaporation rates are low. Mulch provides benefits, too, by keeping plant roots cool, slowing evaporation and minimizing weed growth.

Plant trees

Direct sunlight can quickly spike temperatures inside the home. Think about standing under a tree and the coolness you feel – almost immediately – thanks to the leafy canopy. The same eﬀect happens with a home. The air temperature can be as much as 25 degrees cooler under cover, which helps keep indoor temperatures at bay and reduces strain on

the air conditioning.

Keep greenery away from AC units

Shrubs, small trees and vines provide much the same benefit as trees, just

Use environmentally friendly lawn products

Lawn care companies are realizing the negative impact using some of their products can have on the environment, seeping into the ground and washing

into creeks and tributaries. Recently, many have dialed back the levels of harmful chemicals and turned to more environmentally friendly ingredients like soy and slow-release nitrogen.

Let it grow

Many lawns require regular watering to achieve their lush appearances. To reduce the liquid need, slightly raise the blade on your lawnmower. A yard with taller grass retains water longer.

Dip into a (swimming) pool of ideas

An easy way to help measure water loss in a pool is to add a mark at the water line and check it every 24 hours for major changes. Technology can catch leaks the moment they occur through smart water-monitoring devices, which provide real-time leak alerts that can save hundreds of dollars and oﬀer muchneeded peace of mind. Covering a pool will help prevent water loss due to evaporation. Additionally, using a cover during the active seasons will help keep the pool clean and reduce maintenance costs.

summer READS

BY GRACE MCQUADE ooks are meant to take readers away – out of their lives and heads to experience diﬀerent points of view. Some stories hit close to home, with characters that resemble family and friends placed in situations that test the strength of these bonds. Bestselling author Emily Giﬃn writes these types of novels. Her latest, “All We Ever Wanted” (June 26), explores every parent’s worst nightmare in our social media age when a revealing photograph of a high school student spreads like wildfire, forcing those involved, the school, and the whole community to come together. Other books transport readers to faraway places and times. A novel can introduce people and events existing in distant parts of the world. A travelogue can be a companion while on the road or offer a window to a remarkable journey that can be enjoyed right on your own

FICTION

The books of summer will continue to take readers across the country and around the globe, providing escapes like those experienced by their authors and characters. A few are running away.

outdoor PESTS

ummer is a season of sun, warm weather, and long nights. But nothing can spoil wonderful moments this season like pesky mosquitos, bees, wasps and termites. Mosquitos can ruin the day and leave its telltale mark for days to come. Mosquitoes can be more than just a nuisance because they can transmit several diseases including West Nile virus, dengue fever and Zika. The U.S. Center for Disease Control recommends applying mosquito repellents that contain the active ingredients DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus (OLE) or IR3535. Eliminating mosquito breeding sites around your home is an important step to reducing the populations. Mosquitoes require standing water to breed because their larvae are aquatic. Most larvae can develop in stagnant pools that are less than half an inch deep. If water is present for more than five days in a row, it has the potential to breed mosquitoes. The following is Mosquito Prevention 101:

control is to eliminate the nest.

• Don’t over water your yard and garden. Standing water becomes a source for mosquito eggs. • Empty and refill kiddie pools and bird baths at least once per week. • Remove standing water from plant saucers and change pet dish water daily. • Clean gutters on house and make sure water is properly flowing away from house. Fill in mud holes. • Add bubblers or fountains to small lakes and ponds to keep the surface constantly rippling. • Keep swimming pools drained or covered during oﬀ months and treated properly during the summer months.

Want to prevent stings? • Wear shoes. • Remove trash frequently and cover trash cans. • Do not swap at stinging insects. They will become aggressive. • Avoid sweet smelling perfumes. • Ensure door and window screens are in good condition. Termites are no fun, no matter what time of year. The National Pest Management Association estimates that termites cause over five billion dollars in damage in just the United States alone. This is one statistic you do not want your home to be in. Eastern subterranean are prevalent to our area and they are diﬃcult to detect. If you see mud tunnels, and loose wings, it’s time to call a professional to assess the situation. Peter S. Scala, BCE, President Board Certified Entomologist www.parkwaypestservices.com

Though beneficial to the environment, especially for pollinating, bees, wasps and hornets can pose quite a problem. For some, stings are not only extremely painful, but are life threatening. Bees and wasps are very aggressive especially when food and drink are on the table. There are traps that can be placed around to attract bees and wasps away from the area. However the solution to

diy DECK

ith the beautiful summer weather here, you can finally begin to enjoy your yard again. Building a deck is a great way to expand your living space and also add value to your home. But before you build this open-air extension, or hire a contractor to do so, make sure you’ve thought about exactly what you want or need. Thinking it through now will help to you to avoid the headaches and potential added expense of mid-project changes, or worse yet, dissatisfaction and regrets when the project is complete. While your first thought may be how spacious you want the new deck to be, consider also how much of your yard will be taken up, and how much you would like to have left. The deck should be designed in a style that is consistent with the lines and overall feel of the home so that it blends seamlessly. Practical considerations begin with the door from the home to the deck: are you using an existing door? Adding sliders? From which room? And stairs to the

what you need to know

yard: a standard stair with railing, wide and deep steps, or levels that gradually approach ground level? And consider the style of the railing and spindles, which may be required by Town building code if the deck is above a specified elevation. There are many options for embellishing your deck, including built-in benches, planters, storage, lighting and electric outlets. Consider which of these are important to you and make sure they’re included in the plan for pricing lumber and labor. And unless you’re planning your deck as part of a new construction, you likely already have landscaping in place. Take inventory of your trees and shrubs and what will stay and what will go to make room for the deck. Think about nearby trees and how much sun or shade your deck will get. And you have a choice of many materials available today for the construction of decks. Some people like the ease of traditional pressure-treated lumber which is infused with preservatives to improve its longevity. Many decks are still built this way,

but weather-resistant woods such as redwood, cedar and cypress, which are naturally resistant to rot, decay and boring insects, are also popular. Some homeowners opt for exotic imported hardwoods, like teak, ipe (pronounced EE-pay) and mahogany. These pricier woods are handsome and durable but also very dense. This makes them expensive, heavy, and diﬃcult to cut and drill, so if you choose one of these, your contractor will need to be experienced in working with these materials. Very popular today are synthetic materials that look like wood but have many advantages over their natural counterparts. Composites, including Trex and TimberTech, are composed of a blend of wood fibers and recycled plastic. Plastic lumber, such as Azek Deck and Forever Deck, are made entirely of plastic. All these very low maintenance manmade materials are highly resistant to staining, decay and cracks and they will not splinter or warp. An experienced contractor can help you think through all these factors and more. And a skilled, reputable contrac-

tor will ensure that your deck has appropriate footings, that it’s level and structurally sound, and complies with local building codes and regulations. Do your homework before you say yes to the deck! When you’re ready to choose a contractor, remember to confirm that the company is licensed and insured. Ask if the owner will be onsite throughout the construction or if he or she has a project manager. Request a written contract that includes a clear description of the work to be done, the cost and payment terms, and a projection of how long the project will take. Make sure that the contractor will secure the appropriate permits from your local building department, that he will protect the shrubs and other plants that you plan to keep, and that there will be a thorough clean-up at the conclusion of the job. This planning will help pave the way to a successful, surprise-free experience as you plan a great new space for fun and relaxation on your new deck!

mani PEDI M

any women and even many men go to nail salons for manicures and pedicures. Walk down the street in any busy town and you’re likely to see two, three, four…even more salons doing Mani-Pedis. Let’s face it, they feel good and they look good. Well, that is until that infected ingrown toenail pops up three to four days later. Or you suddenly see some weird growths on the bottom of your foot. Here are some tips on manicure and pedicure safety. 1. Apply a cream to moisturize your nails, especially after removing nail polish since most removers contain chemicals that dry the nails. Using an all-natural polish remover will help. 2. Never cut or forcefully push back your cuticles. This will limit the chance of infection. 3. While most nail salons follow strict cleanliness and disinfection guidelines, look for the following when visit-

staying safe at the salon

ing a salon: Does your nail technician have the necessary experience and/or license, if required? Are the stations clean? Does the nail technician wash her

hands between clients? Are there dirty tools lying around? Ask how they clean their tools. 4. Shave your lower legs after getting a pedicure, not before. That means not shaving your lower legs for at least

24 hours before you get a pedicure. If you nick yourself while shaving, a pedicure could put you at risk for an infection. 5. Bring your own tools and clean and sterilize them yourself. 6. Avoid footbaths. Sterilizing them is next to impossible. Unless the salon uses a clean footbath liner, forgo the footbath. 7. Avoid the use of gels and “fake” nails. They can significantly damage and weaken your nails. 8. There are many all-natural nail polishes that are much healthier for your nails than regular nail polish. Regular polish contains formaldehyde, toluene and DBP, all toxic and unhealthy for your nails. Find a polish that is enriched with tea tree oil and contains vitamins, biotin, wheat protein; these ingredients can all help to limit nail damage and often can enrich your nails. Want to be really safe? Consult your podiatrist or dermatologist! David J. Sands, DPM, www.sandspodiatry.com

beauty & the beach

he sun is high and the surf is up, but do problem areas on your face or body make you want to hide under the beach blanket? With today’s technology, there are safe and easy ways you can enhance your appearance and get a boost of self-confidence. First and foremost, when you are at the beach, even on cloudy days, always remember to wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen that blocks UVA and UVB rays with a minimum of SPF of 30. It is also extremely important to apply enough sunscreen to your entire body (approximately 2 tablespoons) 30 minutes before going outside, and to reapply every two hours or after swimming or excessive sweating. Seek the shade whenever possible, especially between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. There are cosmetic-related concerns people may experience during the summer season, which can be addressed quickly, safely and non-invasively:

Muffin tops, love handles, excess fat in abdomen, thighs, bra area

These stubborn areas of excess fat just don’t seem to respond to your best eﬀorts at diet and exercise. A non-invasive technique called CoolSculpting® is a process by which your excess pockets of fat are frozen, with no damage to the overlying skin or the underlying tissues. CoolSculpting® requires no needles, no anesthesia, no downtime and no recovery. The procedure takes approximately one hour.

Spider veins and rosacea

Spider veins on the legs can be eliminated with a beam of light from a laser which only “sees” the blue and purple areas that need treatment. Another method for removing spider veins is sclerotherapy, in which a tiny needle is used to inject the veins with a chemical that causes them to collapse. Eventually, the body reabsorbs the nonfunctioning vessels and they disappear. Broken blood vessels on the face and rosacea can be treated with a laser that “sees” only the pink or red of the vessels and

spares the overlying epidermis any damage.

Brown spots and tattoos

Also known as age spots, sun spots, or liver spots, these benign brown blemishes are removed with a beam of light from a laser that “sees” brown. Many people who are displeased with their tattoos want them banished completely. One of the newest advances in laser tattoo removal is picosecond technology, which uses short bursts of energy for the removal of tattoos. These energy bursts are measured in picoseconds (trillionths of a second) which cause the tattoo ink to break apart into tiny particles which are eliminated by the body. Compared to many lasers used in the past, this new technology may be more eﬀective on stubborn colors and require fewer treatments to achieve final results.

Excess hair on back, legs, arms

Breakthroughs in laser hair reduction include chilling devices that cool the overlying epidermis and longer pulse durations that allow the beam of light to selectively penetrate into the hair follicles more deeply, without harming the overly-

ing skin. Darker-skinned people should request that advanced technology be used to avoid lightening or darkening of the skin, and possible burning, scabbing and scarring that may result if older machines are used. Be sure your skin is not tanned before treatment, as it could increase the risk of pigment-changing side eﬀects.

Cellulite, stretch marks, scars

There are a number of FDA-approved devices that reduce cellulite and facilitate the development of a more contoured physique. Stretch marks typically result from rapid weight gain. The pulsed dye laser is eﬀective for treating new stretch marks and a variety of ablative and non-ablative fractional lasers can improve the appearance of more mature stretch marks and scars. With all the wonders of technology, the most painful choice you’ll have to make this summer is deciding which bathing suit to buy! Deborah S. Sarnoﬀ, M.D, www.cosmetiqueMD.com

THE LOB HAIRCUT

CURLY HAIR

The resurgence of curls is such an exciting trend. If you have curls, be sure to embrace them. Curls are more fun to work with because you can create a variety of diﬀerent looks with curly hair. People with long, medium-length and even hair should work with their natural texture as opposed to fighting against it, because it has become trendy for hair to have a more insouciantly undone look, as opposed to the painstakingly stylized and perfected look that once reigned supreme, which allowed little room for variation or customization.

summer fitness

t was a long cold winter and it feels good to be able to step outside and enjoy the warmer weather. After being cooped up all winter it’s easy to understand why you wouldn’t want to be stuck inside in the gym, too. This season, step away from the machines and use your surroundings for your own personal gym. Not only will you be exercising, but you will also be getting a boost of vitamin D from the sun, you will see an increase in energy and your mood will be elevated. A well rounded exercise plan includes cardio, strength/resistance training, and flexibility training. This can include jumping rope, marching in place, doing squats, walking lunges, planks and push-ups. With these basic exercises you can create an entire work out with many variations and never get bored this summer. Ready to start? Use a circuit style workout. After the warm up, do the exercise of your choice for 8 to 12 reps of each OR do the exercises as timed exercises for 45 to 60 seconds each.

The Warm Up:

Start out marching in place with high knees, add folded arms at chest height, keep the march going as you reach your fingertips to the sky, add elbows dropping to your sides. Other variations can include alternating twists and then reverse the whole process by holding fingers to the sky then folding the arms again and ending with the arms to your sides. If marching bothers your hips you can replace the marching with a side-to-side step and keep the arm movements the same. You can add dynamic warm up stretches to the routine by doing alternate forward lunges while reaching the arms forward and then over head and alternate standing knee pulls into the chest.

The Cardio:

Depending on your fitness level you can do a brisk walk, jog or run, or a combination of jumping jacks alternating with a one or two minute jump rope session.

The Strength Training:

Who needs weights when you can use your own body weight and gravity for resistance?

Start out with a session of squats.

Sit back as if you were going to sit in an imaginary chair. Stick your butt out without letting your knees drift forward past your toes. Make sure your form is good to avoid injury. Your goal is to get your thighs parallel to the ground. Push through your heels and contract your glutes to come up.

Follow the squats with some walking lunges.

You can use your driveway or any long path as a guide. Your perfect form should have you standing with feet parallel and legs hip distance apart. Want more intensity? Lift your knees.

For core strengthening nothing beats the plank.

Find a grassy patch or use a folded towel to protect your elbows. Bring yourself to a “table top” position on your hands and knees. Lower yourself to your forearms keeping your elbows directly under your shoulders. Without changing the angle of your shoulders, step out your right leg behind you, flex your foot and rest on the ball of the foot. Step out the other foot the same way. Your shoulders, hips, and ankles should all be in alignment. Make sure your head is also aligned with the spine and you are gazing a few inches beyond your fingers. Time yourself as you hold that position as long as you can. Use that as your gauge and try to increase the time each week. Variations include holding the plank on your palms instead of the forearms and bringing your knee in toward your elbow and back out. Pushups are great for strengthening the chest, arms, back and core. Your goal is to get your chest as close to the floor as possible. Variations include keeping your elbows in tight to the body to work the triceps, or place your feet on a step for a decline pushup, or place your hands on the step for an incline pushup. No matter what your work out goals are for the summer, remember to listen to your body. Drink plenty of fluids while outdoors to keep hydrated.

5 different reasons to wear

SUNGLASSES Sunglasses aren’t just for making a fashion statement. They actually protect your eyes because you are exposed to more harmful UV Rays than you think.

UV Protection

The sun’s harmful UV rays can lead to serious, and in some cases, long-term health issues, including photokeratitis (sunburn of the eye’s surface), pterygium (growths on the eye), cataracts, and macular degeneration. Costa Del Mar Pescador

General Eye Comfort

The sun’s brightness and glare interferes with comfortable vision and the ability to see clearly. This can cause squinting, can make eyes water, and can bring on headaches. Maui Jim Cinder Cone Polarized

Skin Cancer

Most people don’t know that 5% to 10% of skin cancer occurs around the eyes. Sunglasses are not just for sunny days. It’s important to always wear quality, protective sunglasses when outdoors, whether working, driving, running, gardening, playing, or watching sports. Coach Ombre Signature Square

Dark Adaptation

Spending even a relatively short amount of time in intense sunlight can hamper the eyes’ ability to adapt quickly to nighttime or indoor light levels. This can make driving at night diﬃcult and even hazardous. Tom Ford Penelope

Blue-Light Protection

(HEV: high-energy visible radiation) Use outdoor lenses that absorb the HEV, as accumulated exposure has been associated with AMD (age-related macular degeneration). Oakley Targetline Aero Flight Collection

summer RECIPES

When we think of cooking in the summer, our minds often go to fresh fruits and vegetables, delicious seafood, and of course BBQ! Chef Garrett Hamilton shares recipes that will help you make the most of your grill. www.homepersonalchef.com

SEASONED GRILLED CORN & POTATOES “Potatoes and corn are summer staples for a BBQ or campfire. Season to perfection and be eat right oﬀ the grill.”

Ingredients

4 ears of corn shucked and washed clean of silks 4 Russet and/or Sweet Potatoes washed 1 stick (8 oz.) Butter 1.5 Tbsp Italian Seasoning 1.5 tbsp granulated garlic 1 tsp sea salt ½ tsp pepper 8 sheets of tin foil approximately 14” long

Directions

Ingredients

1 pkg pork tenderloin (contains 2 small loins) ¾ cup olive oil 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro 6 tbsp granulated garlic 2 tsp cumin 1 tsp chili powder 1 tsp sea salt ½ tsp pepper Large zip bag

Directions

• Place all ingredients in the Zip

bag with the pork tenderloins and make sure meat is thoroughly coated.

Garnish with cilantro, if desired.

• In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Add in the seasoning, granulated garlic, salt and pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes. • Lay out sheet of tin foil and place corn or potato near the short end of the foil and partially fold up edges of foil around it to keep in butter mixture. • Spoon butter mixture over corn or potato to taste, approximately 1.5 tbsp. • Quickly roll corn or potato in foil and twist ends to seal to keep in the butter mixture

• Repeat for each ear of corn and potato. • Place corn and potatoes directly on the grill. • Cook corn for approximately 30 minutes, depending on size of ear, turning every 10 minutes. • Cook potatoes for approximately 50 minutes, depending on size of potato, turning every 15 minutes. • NOTE: If cooking over an open camp fire, place potatoes and corn around the edges of the fire pit in the hot coals.

GRILLED SUMMER FRUITS

“Desserts in the summer should be light, and easy to prepare to make the most of your time outdoors.”

74 SUMMER GUIDE • Blank Slate Media Newspapers, Friday, July 6, 2018

movie previews hot new releases in time for the summer BY GRACE MCQUADE What are the makings of a summer blockbuster film? It’s a formula movie studios invest millions of dollars in to get just right. Summer used to be the time when movie ticket sales took a plunge, but a film that opened on June 20, 1975 changed all that, keeping people in theatre seats… and out of the water. That movie, “Jaws,” was followed two years later with the first chapter in the “Star Wars” anthology, and the summer blockbuster film was born. Today, given the recent release of “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” Hollywood is following the same script, delivering cinema spectaculars movie fans crave during the longer days of summer. These wow-factor films should certainly start with a rousing screenplay filled with enough heightened drama to keep audiences on the edge of their seats and strong character development to make them care. The story then needs a visionary director at the helm to make these written scenes come alive, especially with the

popularity of 3D films these days. Casting is key, with veteran, A-list actors always a draw, along with up-andcoming talent to lure young moviegoers. Many believe epic motion pictures should have a lot of something often heard on movie sets – action! This generally involves heart-pounding pursuits, awe-inspiring special effects, and larger-than-life or, in some cases, out-of-this-world characters. This summer already made a splash with the box-oﬃce behemoth “Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom,” the latest installment in one of the biggest film franchises in cinema history. There are more thrills in store this season with a wave of films that includes prehistoric and apocalyptic worlds, genetically-engineered beings and otherworldly forces, high-tech crooks and fearless agents on their tails, and another menacing shark that will make the Great White in “Jaws” look like a guppy. Throw in some spectacular scenery, a soaring soundtrack, and a superhero or two, and you have a summer that is sure to deliver tons of big-screen fun. So hang on as the following action and adventure films make their way to theatres soon.

JULY “The First Purge”

pendence Day release goes back to the first sociological experiment led by one of the leaders (Marisa Tomei) of the New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA), allowing 12 hours of lawlessness for potential criminals to vent their aggression in order to curb crime. The test, however, leads to all-out anarchy and violence that spreads beyond the trial city and could plague the entire nation.

“Ant-man and the Wasp”

(July 6; action/adventure/sci-fi): Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) isn’t your typical superhero as he tries to balance being AntMan with the responsibilities of fatherhood. But when his crime-fighting predecessor Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) comes to him with an urgent new mission involving a force called The Ghost, Lang must don his superhero suit once again and team up with The Wasp (Evangeline Lilly from “Lost”) to unlock life-changing secrets from all of their pasts.

“Skyscraper”

(July 13; action/crime/thriller; PG13): “Die Hard” meets “The Towering Inferno” in this modern-day disaster film in which former FBI hostage rescuer and U.S. war veteran Will Sawyer (Dwayne Johnson) is on assignment in Hong Kong, assessing security at the world’s tallest building. But when the skyscraper suddenly goes ablaze and Sawyer discovers he’s been set up for the crime, he must act fast to clear his name and save his wife (Neve Campbell) and children trapped on the top floors.

“Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again!”

(July 20; comedy/musical; PG-13): While some consider hanging from a cliﬀ a wild adventure, others think it’s frolicking through Greece in search of love… while singing ABBA tunes. And when it comes to leading ladies, it doesn’t get much bigger than Meryl Streep, who returns in this sequel to the 2008 hit along with the original cast. The story goes back in time to explain the seeds of the romantic relationships, with actress Lily James (Lady Rose from “Downton Abbey”) playing the younger version of Streep’s character and power-songstress Cher joining the island revelry.

“Mission Impossible – Fallout”

(July 27; action/adventure/thriller):

Top gun Tom Cruise reprises his role as Ethan Hunt in the sixth film in this popular franchise, taking the death-defying stunts to new heights as he and his IMF team (Alec Baldwin, Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames), along with familiar female allies (Rebecca Ferguson and Michelle Monaghan), join forces in a race against time after a rogue agent and former foe escapes in Paris.

AUGUST “The Darkest Minds”

(Aug. 3; sci-fi/thriller): After a pandemic kills most of America’s children, those who survive develop superpowers and are taken from their families and placed in internment camps. One of these kids, a 16 year old with telekinetic powers (Amandla Stenberg), manages to escape her camp and join a group of teens on the run from the government in this film that also stars Mandy Moore from “This Is Us.”

“The Meg”

(Aug. 10; action/horror/sci-fi; PG13): A deep-sea submersible, part of an underwater observation program, is attacked by a massive creature lying in the deepest trench of the Pacific, trapping all those inside. Rescue diver Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham) is recruited to save the crew from the unstoppable threat – a prehistoric, 75-foot-long shark known as the

Megalodon, one of the greatest and largest predators of all time – that becomes unleashed on beachgoers.

“Alpha”

(Aug. 17; action/drama/thriller; PG13): In this story set during the last Ice Age 20,000 years ago, a young man (Kodi Smit-McPhee) loses his tribe while on a hunt and is presumed dead. He struggles to survive the harsh terrain on his own until he comes across a lone wolf abandoned by its pack. Together, the two encounter countless dangers and overwhelming odds to find their way home.

“Replicas”

(Aug. 24; crime/mystery/sci-fi; PG13): A “Coma” for the 21st century, a synthetic biologist (Keanu Reeves) will stop at nothing to bring his deceased wife and children, who were killed in a car accident, back to life, pitting himself against a government-controlled laboratory in this futuristic story about cloning gone wrong.

Kin

(Aug. 31; action/sci-fi; PG-13): A young man who just got out of prison (Jack Reynor) must face a vengeful criminal from his past (James Franco). His brother (Myles Truitt) will do anything to protect his older sibling, including using a mysterious weapon he found that everyone from the feds to a gang of supernatural soldiers want to get their hands on in a film also starring Dennis Quaid and Zoe Kravitz, last seen in “Big Little Lies.”

(Sept. 7; action/drama/thriller): After her husband and daughter are gunned down in a drive-by shooting, a woman (Jennifer Garner) wakes up from a coma and spends years learning to become a killing machine. On the fifth anniversary of her family’s death, she seeks justice by targeting all those she holds responsible – the gang who committed the crime, the lawyers who got them oﬀ, and the corrupt cops who enabled the murderous incidents – becoming a lauded vigilante in the process.

“The Predator”

(Sept. 14; action/adventure/sci-fi): “The Predator” crash lands in theatres to close out the summer season. In this sequel to the 1987 film “Predator,” a boy (Jacob Tremblay) accidentally triggers the return of the universe’s most lethal hunters who are stronger, smarter, and deadlier than ever before. Only a ragtag crew of exsoldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race in this film starring Olivia Munn, Thomas Jane and Sterling K. Brown, also from “This is Us.” Combining high-stakes dramas, nailbiting chases, grand visual eﬀects, and favorite actors from the big and small screens, the movies on deck over the coming months are sure to be hot tickets this summer.

Rosé the day away

BY GRETCHEN KELLER s temperatures climb and summer relaxation begins to set in, the transition from red wines to lighter, colder wines is in

full force. Summer wines create a refreshing opportunity to cool-down for people doing all warm weathered activities, from beach days and deck parties, to picnics and family pastimes. Recently, the demand for rosé, the very Instagrammable pink drink, has increased greatly. Brett Berrie, a wine consultant at Young’s Liquors in Manhasset, said “the whole category exploded and has been growing over the last four years. It’s just become extremely popular because it’s very easy to drink outdoors on a hot summer’s day because it’s refrigerated. It’s a little bit more refreshing.” The key to rosé is that it is created diﬀerently from white and red wines. Rosés are made from crushed black grapes. The grape skins are left in contact with the grape juice for only a short amount of time, according to Wine Folly, which is the source of the

wine’s pinkish tint. Depending on the manufacturer, many diﬀerent flavors are used in the rosé process, said Berrie. Some of these flavors include strawberry, rose petal, zest and honeydew melon. As of summer 2018, Young’s Liquors carries over 40 different kinds of rosé. “I think part of the reason why rosé is so popular is because red wines don’t have to be completely refrigerated. They should be slightly cooler than room temperature, the proper temperature being around 68 degrees, but rosés should be served cold,” explained Berrie. Lighter red wines tend to sell better in the summertime, such as Pinot Noir. However, rosé isn’t the only common summer served beverage. The top sellers of summer white wines, said Berrie, are New Zealand and Californian Sauvignon Blanc and Italian Pinot Grigio. Prosecco and other sparkling wines also tend to sell well in the summertime, after the overwhelming amount of rosé requests. The harvest period for rosé is best from the end of August until the end of September.

THE CULINARY ARCHITECT

Entertaining with style by opening a can My husband and I love eating Tapas – Spanish hors d’oeuvres, as we spent our honeymoon in Spain. We enjoyed spending lazy afternoons sipping sherry and eating tasty morsels. Recently, I heard about Despana, a “chic shop for imported Spanish eats like Serrano ham and Chorizo”, located at 408 Broome Street in Manhattan (212) 219-5050 and at 86-17 Northern Blvd., Jackson Heights (718) 721-0341. Despana sells delicious gourmet Spanish canned and bottled delicacies, as well as freshly made Chorizo sausages, the finest imported Serrano ham and authentic Spanish crackers. I went to Despana in Queens and felt like “a kid in a candy store.” Imagine my delight to find canned seafood, crackers and chorizo. After buying a goodly selection, I returned home and pondered the presentation. Why not embrace the fact that these foods are the easiest way to entertain…just open the can! Being a caterer, I had to add a little of my je ne sais quoi, so I added Hot Artichoke Dip and my very easy to make, but so delicious, Famous Baked Olives. For a dramatic presentation, I placed the foods on a large rustic cutting board and used scallop shells as hors d’oeuvres plates. I added bright orange cocktail napkins too. By the end of the evening, every morsel was devoured and the clean-up was tossing the empty cans in our recyclable can –

how easy is that? MENU (Serves 8-10) Purchased from Despana: Canned Clams Scallops in Tomato Sauce Octopus in Oil Mussels in Tomato Sauce Spanish crackers Mild Chorizo (which I sliced) Purchased from Trader Joe’s: Giant Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce Made By Me: Hot Artichoke Dip Baked Olives Hot Artichoke Dip 1 tblsp. olive oil1 garlic clove, minced 1 shallot, minced 1 14-oz. can of artichokes, drained 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, best quality 1/4 cup cream cheese 2 tblsp. fresh parsley 1. Heat olive oil in a saute pan, over medium heat. Add garlic and shallots and saute until softened, about 5-10 minutes. Add artichokes and saute until lightly golden. 2. Transfer artichoke, garlic and shallots to a food processor, fitted with a steel blade. Process until combined. Add remaining ingredients and process until smooth and creamy. Place the dip in an ovenproof ramekin. The dip may be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days. 3. Just before serving, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake artichoke dip until hot and bubbly, approximately 30 minutes. Serve and enjoy.

ALEXANDRA TROY The Culinary Architect

Flower Hill approves light display law Continued from Page 1 Past meetings have been marked by debate between the board, residents! and Young. There was little! discussion of the proposed law this time before the board passed it unanimously. In the past, Young said at meetings that the law would place severe restrictions on his light display and sully a holiday tradition. On one occasion, he even brought the owners of holiday light displays from as far away as New Jersey to speak on his behalf. But Young was not in attendance on Monday night. “I knew they were going to pass it … there was never any doubt in my mind from the very beginning,” Young said on Tuesday. He said he has been in touch with the village over his lights display, as he has been the last couple of years. But he said he isn’t going to submit an application. “I said to them [that] I’m not applying for anything,” he said. “I’ve given up and let the chips fall where they may. I!want to make a plan for this Christmas but I don’t plan on doing any-

village. While he wants to continue the tradition, Young said his battles with the trustees have worn him down. “It used to be fun but! it’s become aggravating,” he said. “It just becomes an ordeal, so I’m contemplating taking the year oﬀ and not having any

lights this year, not because of the law but because I’m fed up.” The board approved another local law that amended the issuance of a permit in the building construction code. All major and minor construction permits will expire one year after issuance unless the board finds suﬃcient reason to extend

the permit. The amendment was spurred by a building project on Northern Boulevard that has gone on longer than the board would have liked. Reach reporter Luke Torrance by email at ltorrance@theislandnow.com, by phone at 516-3071045, ext. 214, or follow him on Twitter @LukeATorrance.

CreatingSTEAM Guidance center gets grant for babies summer program Continued from Page 13 community centers to educate young women about the staggering statistics and advocate for changes, such as improving nutrition when pregnant and seeking prenatal care. Hackett said infant mortality rates are higher in the United States than similarly developed countries internationally, and maternal mortality rates are increasing nationally while they are decreasing elsewhere. “Much of this difference is not because of our health care system but because of the different levels of treatment women are given across the country that affect our health outcomes, especially during pregnancy,” Hackett said. “In addition, stress is also a key factor in explaining the differences by race and ethnicity in birth outcomes: in particular, toxic, chronic stress can negatively"impact the development of a fetus during"pregnancy.”

Dr. Nellie Taylor-Walthrust Since the project began, Hackett said, she has been pleased with the responses from both young mothers and

health care professionals. “I expect that communities of color to respond in a way that they have in my past experiences here on Long Island — with at first outrage and surprise at the health outcomes and then concern to be able to address them,” Hackett said. “On Long Island, communities of color are aﬀected unfairly by systematic issues — housing, education, employment — that adversely" aﬀect our health outcomes. Many people know this and are motivated to make change.” To find out more about the Birth Justice Warriors, contact Taylor-Walthrust at 516997-2926, ext. 229, or email NTaylorWalthrust@northshorechildguidance.org.

Continued from Page 13 and products. “Parents, educators and government leaders must do more to encourage children to study and pursue careers in STEAM and STEM,” Laurie Carey, founder of We Connect the Dots, said. “Today, there are numerous job opportunities available for Americans who have degrees in STEM or STEAM. However, programs in schools are not enough; more needs to be done. Through this program we are working on filling the gap and inspiring the next generation.” The nonprofit organization’s mission is to give students the tools and education they need for secure and rewarding careers in the future. CreatingSTEAM encourages students to learn through experience and gives participants an opportuni-

ty to visit Microsoft’s corporate oﬃces in New York City. During the intensive program from July 16 through 27, teams of students will create designs and present them at the end of the session to judges from the technology industry for input, and the winning team will be invited to present its idea to Microsoft in the fall. Past participants have said the program is both educational and social, allowing students to interact with others who share their interest in STEAM. Registration is available at"we-connect-the-dots.org/creatingsteam. The cost is $1,000, and scholarships are available.

OUR TOWN

Best and worst of times in America I accepted a call this week from a radio show producing a show “Unhappy America.” They wanted a psychoanalyst to discuss the cause of America’s growing malaise. I told him this subject couldn’t be more relevant. America is now all too familiar with news of school shootings, mass shootings, the opioid epidemic, obesity statistics, celebrity suicides and stress-related psychosomatic disorders. There is a growing despair and rage in America. Despite our apparent wealth there is much unrest just under the surface. These are the best of times, these are the worst of times. The causes of America’s growing unhappiness come from many places. All cultural illnesses are multi-determined. Here is the most obvious list of reasons we are seeing more unhappiness and unease: 1) The ever-widening chasm between the haves and the have nots: The data is clear that there is a growing divide between the 1 percenters and the middle classes. There was a chilling essay

by Matthew Stewart in The Atlantic which outlined this divide and demonstrated that the real walls that are being built are by the upper class who has devised a number of ways to keep out all but the chosen few. Devices such as very expensive college counseling services which help one obtain entrance into Ivy League colleges is one method. Gilded zip codes and country club memberships are another way to establish class barriers. Stewart believes we are witnessing the birth of a new aristocracy in America that’s every bit as rigid as the exclusionary and privilege as the social class at the palace of Versailles with aristocratic codes just as subtle and just as impenetrable. The result of all this social class stratification is that there is now an upper 10 percent which includes lawyers, bankers, CEO’s, financial advisors and accountants and doctors. The remaining 90 percent of Americans are now considered the have not’s. That is why Trump was elected and why the famous quote for the film Network was

DR. TOM FERRARO Our Town

so prescient. “We’re mad as hell and we’re not going to take it anymore.” This gap has produced a growing rage in America that no one is addressing. 2. Anomie: The formation of our new aristocracy is by no means the only reason for America’s growing sense of unhappiness. Thanks in part to poor urban planning and in part to the power of technology we no longer have any connection with neighbors or neighborhoods. We spent our time either at home in front of the TV, in the car or at work. Our sense of community

has evaporated. Durkheim predicted this way back in 1900 but things have only gotten much worse since then. Our lack of human and neighborly connection has contributed to American malaise, lack of moral control, increase suicide rates, drug addiction and an epidemic of psychosomatic disorders. 3. Speed kills: I think that our constant exposure to automobiles has speeded us up in such a way that we all feel stress and anger as a result. My contention is that every human being becomes an angry cyborg when they are behind the wheel. 4. Shame, shame and more shame: John Berger’s classic essay “Ways of seeing” was written in 1972 and predicted that we would all begin to feel every increasing shame and anger thanks to the constant exposure to media images which remind us that in fact we are not Tiger Woods, Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie. Shame produces envy and rage which most of us repress but the more fragile among us express with violence.

5.! Political solutions are no longer possible: Post-modern theory has suggested that the virtual flood of information we are fed on a daily basis it is no longer possible to have eﬀective political discourse. Rational arguments are swallowed up with noise and more information and the result is that politics falls into a state of inertia. I think the result of this is not only the absurd political state America is in but also that it produces these weekly explosions of terror and violence that may be the cultures only way of expressing itself. These are merely the five most obvious reasons for America’s malaise. And time will tell if something or someone can solve this sad state of aﬀairs. I certainly wish I had a magic wand or a crystal ball to find an answer. But alas I am no Harry Potter and I am not the Wizard of Oz. My guess is it will take some very special magic to get us out of the fix we are in. And until that happens let us all brace ourselves for the next dreadful headline which I’m certain is just around the corner.

reflect on the tragedy and encourage lawmakers to consider new approaches to school safety. D’Urso applauded these students for exercising their power as citizens of the world to voice their opinions on important social issues, in order to influence change.

D’Urso praises NAMI work Assemblyman Anthony D’Urso met with Janet Susin, past president of NAMI Queens/Nassau, and praised the work of the organization. NAMI, National Alliance for Mental Illness, works to eliminate the stigma that comes with having a mental illness. Susin has spent many years working to educate families, individuals, law enforcement oﬃcers and teachers to inform them about mental illness conditions and providing the needed support. “NAMI has been providing services and resources for those aﬀected by mental illness PHOTO COURTESY OF ASSEMBLYMAN ANTHONY D’URSO’S OFFICE who otherwise would not know where to turn Assemblyman Anthony D’Urso met with Janet Susin. for assistance,” D’Urso said.

Buckley Country Day School recently held its 14th Annual Spring Gala. The event— chaired by Deborah and Richard DeVerna—celebrated Buckley’s 95th anniversary and recognized honoree Ahmed Bendary, for his 15 years of steadfast and dedicated service as a member of our Board of Trustees, for his unwavering commitment to our school, students, faculty and staﬀ, and for the many contributions he and his wife Bouchra have made to Buckley over the past 18 years. Ahmed and Bouchra Bendary have graduated four children from Buckley: Rani ’09, Samer ’11, Nour ’13, and Yara ’18. Ahmed and Bouchra Bendary exemplify the spirit of giving that has served Buckley for close to a century and has made them one of the most philanthropic families in the school’s history. The pièce de résistance of the evening was the moving tribute that Rani paid to his father. Rani started by sharing the experience of his first day in kindergarten when he would not get out of the car and his mother had to drive him back home. He went on to speak about a conversation he then had with his father about the feelings he experienced, the challenges he faced, and the opportunities he saw when he immigrated to the United States, at the time an unfamiliar country for him.# Rani spoke about the literal and metaphoric anchor that Ahmed

likes to jump in, at the tug-ofwar on Field Day and for our community, stating, “Regardless of Red or Blue victory, it is the entire Buckley community that has won. Dad, I know I speak on behalf of the other 200 members of your Buckley family sitting in this room tonight when I say that we are incredibly blessed and lucky to have had you serve as our anchor. Thank you for never shying away from the challenge, and for being the bravest Bulldog there is.” Rani closed his speech reflecting on his second day of school and concluded, “All I can say is that I am very glad I decided to get out of the car on the second day of school. In 18 years, Buckley has welcomed us with wider arms and more genuine love than we could have asked for.” The generous contributions made by the Buckley community to the 2018 Spring Gala have been earmarked to the school’s Endowment Fund. “As a Trustee, Ahmed spoke up about three topics that he most cared about: the safety and well-being of our students, the safety and well-being of their teachers, and the state of our facilities. As a Buckley Trustee, Ahmed was always first and foremost a child and teacher advocate. There couldn’t be a more deserving man on this occasion to whom we would want to show our gratitude and appreciation than you,” said Buckley Headmaster Jean-Marc Juhel.

Safety tips for summer travel Adelphi honored Schools are out and Long Island families are getting ready to embark on summer vacations, in some cases to far-off destinations. Parents will pack the requisite mosquito repellent, perhaps Dramamine for motion sickness, and compression socks for the long flight. But exactly what are the most common maladies travelers need to prepare for? The Family Travel Clinic at NYU Winthrop Hospital has all the answers and, just in time for summer, shares travel safety tips, health-risk alerts, and littleknown facts regarding travel safety. It’s all part of the Family Travel Center’s comprehensive care that includes education, vaccinations, and preventative health measures to make trips in the United States and abroad as safe as possible. “Americans are travelling more than ever, yet more than 60 percent of those who get sick on trips did not have a pre-travel medical consultation,” said Dr. Theresa Fiorito, an infectious disease specialist at NYU Winthrop’s Family Travel Clinic. “Travel medicine is a specialized branch of medicine that factors into patient care a unique subset of variables that includes exposure to infectious diseases, tainted food and water, altitude sickness and more, and the knowledge and care imparted by travel medicine specialists can help prevent injuries and sickness.” Most people presume, for example, that they need to protect against mosquito bites during dawn and dusk hours when in fact, different types of mosquitoes bite at different times of day. The dengue-carrying mosquito bites during the day, for example, whereas mosquitoes that transmit malaria bite at

night. A travel medicine specialist can advise on the risks based on whether travel is to the “mosquito vector” that includes the Caribbean and Latin America, or to Europe, Africa, Asia, or the wilderness of Canada. No matter the location, Fiorito warns that DEET decreases a sunscreen’s SPF absorption if applied together, so if sunscreen is needed, travelers should apply it at least 30 minutes prior to insect repellant. DEET (30 pervent) can be used on children two months and older. Also very effective against mosquitoes are clothes pre-treated with the repellant Permethrin, which can be found in most sporting goods stores. Other travel health-safety highlights: • Be wary of petting local animals, such as stray dogs. A person can get rabies without being bitten, such as from the saliva of the animal infiltrating cuts on the neck or face. • For those who suffer from conditions such as hypertension, asthma, arrhythmia, a seizure disorder, or sickle cell anemia, check on the “ascent risk” of traveling to high altitudes, like in the Rocky Mountains or Machu Picchu, as reduced oxygen levels can pose serious health risks such as pulmonary edema. In addition, all travelers should avoid alcohol for the first 48 hours at high altitudes and stay well-hydrated. • To avoid diarrhea in areas with questionable water quality, Fiorito says of food: “Boil it, cook it, peel it, or forget it.” That means peeling and eating an orange is fine, but not eating a fruit cocktail in watery syrup. With regards to liquids, travelers should also only brush their teeth with bottled or boiled water and forgo ice cubes. Highly effective for the rehydra-

tion of children are drinks such as rice water, or congee, while Imodium® is good to pack for older children and adults who might come down with diarrhea. • Check on whether prescription medications, such as a stimulant for a child with ADHD, might present customs problems upon entering a country. Travel clinics, such as the one at NYU Winthrop, can write a letter confirming medical necessity and can even have that letter translated into the local language. • Beware of eating exotic fish in the Caribbean, like Lionfish that carries within it a toxin. If not prepared properly, the fish can cause severe reactions including vomiting, abdominal pain, tingling, sweating and more – such as occurred to one traveler who thought he was eating “grilled sea bass.” And regarding those long flights, compression socks are only indicated if you have a history of leg swelling, but deepvein thrombosis isn’t just about the legs. Avoid tight pants and loosen waist belts since they can also compromise circulation, and those who have a history of blood clots should speak to a travel medicine physician about possibly beginning an anti-coagulation regimen prior to a trip. “Travel medicine is about identifying potential health risks for travelers and providing upto-date advice specific to a destination,” added Dr. Fiorito. “Our priority is to make sure travelers, especially children, are safe and healthy. The last thing any family wants is to spend hardearned money and time oﬀ bedridden in a hotel room, unable to enjoy their vacation.” The NYU Winthrop Family Travel Center is located in Mineola and can be reached at (516) 6639414.

for innovation

The National Research Center for College and University Admissions has named Adelphi University one of the winners of the Eduventures 2018 Innovation Awards. The national honor recognizes achievements of organizations that share NRCCUA’s vision for generating improved outcomes through innovative programming that supports critical areas of an institution. Adelphi was selected for its “Personalizing the Enrollment Process” campaign, created to address the changing demographics, declining counts of high school graduates, and increased competition across the higher education enrollment landscape — including the increased presence of programs such as New York State’s Excelsior Scholarship program. Adelphi’s effort was a collaboration of numerous individuals and areas on campus, in particular, the Enrollment Management and University Communications and Marketing staﬀs, along with Academic Services and Retention, Student Aﬀairs, and members of the faculty. “The 2018 Eduventures Innovation Awards winners showcase true thought leadership at their institutions,” said Patrick Vogt, CEO of NRCCUA. “They exemplify creative and forward-thinking approaches that are making demonstrable changes in the way colleges

and universities recruit, teach and retain students. On behalf of the team at NRCCUA, I congratulate this year’s group of individuals and organizations.” Adelphi’s personalization initiative took advantage of existing strengths such as the University’s person-to-person approach to education, small classes of 21 or fewer, and a strong commitment to diversity, particularly involving first-generation college students, veterans, LGBTQ+ students, and students with autism spectrum disorder—all in a highly individualized and personalized manner. The campaign emphasized Adelphi’s distinctiveness among both state universities and other private institutions, with particular attention to personal outreach and support for each individual. By further personalizing the enrollment process, the University went from combating an initial drop in admissions deposits after the launch of New York state’s Excelsior Scholarship program a year ago to anticipating the secondlargest incoming class in its history in Fall 2018. Adelphi was one of two honored by NRCCUA for enrollment management strategies, along with Georgia State University. Four other institutions were honored in two other categories, along with two honorable mention winners.

54th birthday for public transit on L.I. Continued from Page 18 All of these private bus operators previously received capital and operating assistance from both the NYC Department of Transportation and New York State. There is also New Jersey Transit, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PATH), NYC Departments of Transportation Staten Island Ferry and Economic Development Corporation private ferries. ! Using MTA Metro Cards

provides free transfers between the subway and bus. This has eliminated the old two fare zones making public transportation an even better bargain. Purchasing a monthly LIRR or MTA subway/ bus pass reduces the cost per ride and provides virtually unlimited trips. In many cases, employers can oﬀer transit checks which help subsidizes a portion of the costs. Utilize this and reap the benefits. It supports a cleaner environment.

Many employers now allow employees to telecommute and work from home. Others use alternative work schedules which aﬀord staﬀ the ability to avoid rush hour gridlock. This saves travel time and can improve mileage per gallon. Join a car or van pool to share the costs of commuting. The ability to travel from home to workplace, school, shopping, entertainment, medical, library etc. is a factor when moving to a new neighborhood.

Economically successful communities are not 100 percent dependent on automobiles as the sole means of mobility. Seniors, students, low and middle-income people need these transportation alternatives. Investment in public transportation today contributes to economic growth, employment and a stronger economy. Dollar for dollar, it is one of the best investments we can make. ! What better way to honor the! late President Johnson and

all that has been achieved these past 54!years in public transportation by continuing funding the federal Highway Trust Fund and Mass Transit Account.! Larry Penner Great Neck (Larry Penner is a transportation historian and advocate who previously worked 31 years for the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration Region 2 NY Oﬃce)

Are prez’s actions debasing our values?

istorically, great civilizations declined when their moral fabrics unraveled. One needs not be religious to understand there exist clear ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ behaviors in our world.! It is right to be decent, civil, kind, honest, and charitable All values which Americans always held dear.!! President Trump’s seemingly manipulative, inaccurate statements, along with his disrespectful self-serving behaviors, to me, are eroding America’s foundations, fostering an America whose soul is decaying under his tutelage. It seems Trump believes he can say anything and do anything, regardless of inappropriateness and lack of civility (e.g., Trump apparently shoving past Montenegro’s Prime Minister to get in front of him for a photo during the 2017 G7 Summit similar to a bully pushing his way to the front of the lunch line; Trump denigrating our free press by calling CNN, ‘the worst’ at the 2018 G7 Summit; and, Trump’s using swear words repeatedly, demeaning the oﬃce of the President, e.g., saying ‘What the hell is going on in

Chicago?’ to the FBI’s graduating class in late 2017). After Trump’s demonstrated rude behavior towards Montenegro’s prime minister, !!!!!!!!!!!!I wondered:! Are Americans lowering the bar for a President’s acceptable behavior?! If so, our American sense of decency is deteriorating. Additionally, it seems Trump lies whenever convenient to support his stance on given issues. When discussing Paul Manafort recently, Trump tried to minimize Manafort’s possible influence by saying, “…he worked for me, what, 49 days?” Factually, Manafort was Trump’s Campaign Chairman for 144 days.! Evidence of our President’s diminishing memory! or the tactic of a liar? The Washington Post and Esquire.com seem to have totaled the President’s apparent lies at 3,000+. Have Americans thrown away morality?! Are Americans accepting a lying president without questioning his veracity? If Americans accept blindly any president’s words, without valuing our Constitution’s free press, our founding fathers’ en-

visioned America will cease disintegrating our American fabric, previously sewn with the cloth of basic human values. Our Republican-dominated Congress, to me, is shameful for not fulfilling its Constitutiondirected role as a check-and-balance entity equal to the president. Instead, Congress seems to operate as Trump’s defender apparently adopting his uncivility. It seemed morally oﬀensive when Republican Representatives Jim Jordan and Trey Goudy rudely questioned FBI Director Wray and Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein during last week’s Congressional hearing. Both Goudy and Jordan, as attorneys, know how to question individuals civilly. Yet, both Representatives seemed to ask biased questions in Trump-attack dog-like fashion appearing, unjustifiably, to impugn both Wray’s and Rosenstein’s credibility and making seemingly personal accusations against each man. Both Representatives’ questions suggested Rosenstein and Wray were biased Democrats. However, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (Democrat) confirmed neither is a

Democrat. Rosenstein, Wray! and, Robert Mueller! are all Republicans.! Fun fact: ! Both Rosenstein and Wray were nominated by Trump. Both Goudy’s and Jordan’s morally questionable hearingbehavior, to me, seemed to emulate Trump’s own rude attacks on those from whom he seems threatened further debasing American decency. I believe Republican Sen. Ben Sasse encapsulates best the potential threat of Americans lacking decency and civics’ knowledge in his book, “The Vanishing American Adult,”!when he states, “We are going to need America’s children to rise to their best in the years to come….For in this broken world of lawless souls, there will be control….those in search of power for their own purposes… will invariably seek to hold back the chaos of the world.” A school principal demonstrating Trump’s apparent misleading, lying, and denigrating behaviors likely would be removed from his position quickly. Are Americans lowering the presidential bar for acceptable behavior…below what they would accept from a school principal?

When reviewing Trump’s apparent indecent behaviors, I am reminded of character George Bailey’s words in Frank Capra’s, “It’s A Wonderful Life,”! when George responds to debasing miser Henry Potter’s job oﬀering. When Potter seemingly criticizes George’s father’s kind approach to running a bank, George responds, “Now, hold on, Mr. Potter. You’re right when you say my father was no businessman.! People were human beings to him. But to you, a warped, frustrated old man, they’re cattle. Well in my book, my father died a much richer man than you’ll ever be!” Put simply:! Americans may need to ask themselves:! Do we want our national values to reflect Pa Bailey’s decent values or Henry Potter’s debasing values?! Will we leave a legacy to our grandchildren of a kind, civil, honest, charitable, and decent America? Or, will Potter’s debasing values of viewing human beings as cattle prevail?! ! We all will answer to the future. Kathy Rittel East Williston

Kaplan didn’t attend anti-Iran pact rally

hat kind of silly inquiry is this? You think I am a stupid stooge like the writers sent by the party to pen nonsense to the Great Neck News? Every public oﬃcial was invited through the media. The speakers were the national figures and all the local people were acknowledged. Newspapers

were filled with photos of local, state and national figures in attendance – and they were all over broadcast and cable news and radio! There were no personal invites to a rally of 20,000 people except for those national figures I named. They all came and I assure you that they are far busier than Anna Kaplan.

Did David Weprin receive an invite? No – but he was there. Did Rory Lancman receive an invite? No – but he was there. Did Karen Koslowitz receive an invite? No – but she was there. Did Dov Hikind receive an invite? no – but he was there. We had at least 25 local elected oﬃcials – town council members, assembly members, New

York City council members, New York State senators – but we did not have –! Anna Kaplan. To be clear – it is not a “failing” that she was it here, But: For that, she did not appear – but she rushed to protect the dignity of Barack Obama who abused Prime Minister Netanyahu and Israel against dues-paying AIPAC members.

Listen – don’t game me – I know all these politically trashy party games – I have seen them all. You support her for one reason only – she is Persian. The Great Neck Persian community has many great potential candidates. She is not one of them. Jeﬀrey S Wiesenfeld Great Neck

Passing of Toys ‘R’ Us is a sad marker “I don’t want to grow up, I’m a Toys R US Kid” Remember that theme playing over and over in your head? Well, here we are, all grown up and Geoﬀrey is about to go to Never Land. Another iconic brand has lost the battle to online shopping, modernization and automation. Why wait in long lines when you can just point and click from your desk or mobile device? Why speak to a sales clerk or cashier when you can simply choose your items and type in your credit info on a screen?" Why spend time touching

and feeling the packaging, seeing the product up close, seeing a neighbor shopping or even making a new friend while you talk about the latest toy to hit the shelves? Why, why, why? Good questions? I think so. We have become a society bent on attaining instant gratification. In doing so we are losing our personalities and becoming isolated. We wait for the mail, we return what we don’t like, and countless people lose their jobs. We walk less, talk less and ultimately become less social. Is this a good thing? Is this prog-

ress? Will we one day all become agoraphobic? Thinking back to 1992 after my wife delivered our first child, I remember how exciting it was to shop at the store in Douglaston or Middle Village. Michael in his stroller, we’d go up and down each aisle and try to get the perfect gift for all the little ones on our list. No gift certificates, just actual gifts we took the time to select and thought the children would enjoy. Sure, the lines were terrible, but it was also, in a weird way, fun. Music in the background, kids screaming “Buy me this,

Buy me this!” Salespeople running around, cashiers working as fast as they could, people saying Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, it was all good. Why did it change? Progress? I think we are all becoming a little lazy and as a result, isolated from one another. When our friend Geoffrey closes the final store and walks off into the sunset, it will mark the end of an era. Unlike the sun setting into the ocean, or the stars fading into the daylight, I do not believe Geoffrey will rise again. For me, I want to say so long

pal, thanks for putting countless smiles on so many children’s faces over the years. Thanks for the memories and laughs. Thanks to all the good people that you employed, particularly the ones that went out of their way to always help. Like an automated phone response when you try to call for service, buying toys will now become more and more automated and artificial. Just another part of our past that is fading away. Sad. Michael Cascio New Hyde Park

Trump plan to build a wall off the wall

wenty-five billion dollars for a wall to benefit Americans is a tremendous idea. However, as I recall, didn’t the president say that Mexico should pay for it? I guess the Mexicans thought it wasn’t such a good idea for them. Now the president wants us to pay for it. First of all, where is that money going to come from? His tax cuts have reduced the amount of money the government will collect over the years, not by billions but by trillions. However, there is a way to raise

the money. Simply have the corporations who have benefited by their 14 percent tax cut give something back that will benefit the American people. For example, Based on the list of the Fortune 500, the 20 most profitable companies in 2017 had a combined net income of $408 billion. This net income is after taxes. The 14 percent savings for these 20 companies alone exceeds $57 billion. Throw in the thousands of other multi-million dollar prof-

itable companies and you see that 25 billion is really an insignificant amount to them. That $25 billion for the wall can benefit Americans, but what if that expenditure was provided for something else, something that could be even more beneficial for we, the American public. Today, so many American cities are struggling to provide adequate services for their people. How about if we took the 25 billion and distributed it to 250 struggling cities in the United States? That’s 100 million for each city. Check out the math. Just

think what these cities could do with such an influx of cash. The money"could be used to hire more police and firefighters and to raise their salaries. Other public employees including teachers would fall into the same category. Monies could also be used for public housing in desperate need of repairs including the elimination of rodents and other health risk factors. How about fixing streets and highways, improve commuter transportation and so many other things such cities need." As an alternative solution,

perhaps the distribution could be limited to only 125 cities, with each receiving $200 million. There is no doubt that expenditures of this nature would provide greater benefit to our citizens than the building of a wall. As for building a wall for security purposes, can one be high enough to defend against a missile or a bomb?" Bottom line: The proposal for building a wall is strictly “oﬀ the wall.” Alvin H. Goldberg Great Neck

Calling out Sen. Phillips’ hypocrisy

hank you for holding incumbent Sen. Elaine Phillips to account for her hypocrisy in your June 29 piece by Rebecca Klar (“Phillips: Cuomo pardons give hall pass to sex oﬀenders”). Ms. Klar rightly pointed out that, while Phillips seemed exceptionally comfortable accusing another politician of enabling sexual predators, she has consistently refused to support the Child Victims Act. While Phillips may point to her co-sponsorship of a weaker bill recently introduced by Sen. Catharine Young as proof that she is not derelict in her duty, it seems convenient that Young waited until the very end of the legislative session to write the

alternative bill. By the time Young’s bill had left committee, Sen. Thomas Croci had returned to active military duty, splitting the chamber equally between those caucusing with Democrats and those caucusing with Republicans. This allowed Majority Leader John Flanagan to scuttle a floor vote on Young’s bill and blame it on supposedly intransigent Democrats. Even if you buy that weak excuse, it doesn’t explain why Republicans, like Phillips, Flanagan and Young, didn’t tackle this issue a year ago, when Croci was still available to vote and the Independent Democratic Conference was still caucusing with Republicans.

The obvious and embarrassing answer is that all Senate Republicans, including Phillips, care more about shielding traditionally conservative groups from criminal and civil liabilities than they do about providing justice for those sexually abused or assaulted as children. This can even be seen in the content of the Young bill, which would divert $300 million currently allocated to law enforcement and other programs into a victims’ compensation fund." The bill would not force child predators or the organizations that enabled them to contribute a single penny to the fund, even if they were found liable in a court of law. To be brutally honest, if con-

trol of the Senate weren’t hanging in the balance, Young never would have even written the alternative bill, and all Senate Republicans, including Phillips, would have continued actively ignoring calls for reform. For any of your readers who live in Phillips’ district and are just as disgusted by her inaction as I am, please make sure to show up to your designated polling station on Tuesday, Nov. 6 and vote for Phillips’ Democratic opponent, Anna Kaplan." I know Nov. 6 seems like an eternity from now, but, in actuality, it is only four months away. "If you won’t be in town on that day or are prevented from visiting your polling station due to a disability, please request an

Business&RealEstate

Housing prices keep edging higher You may be reading this online before our nation’s holiday of July 4th, or afterward, so I hope you will thoroughly enjoy that important day as well as the weekend that follows with your families, friends and significant others! We celebrated this day on July 4th 1776, as the day of the publication of the Declaration of Independence of our 13 colonies from Britain, which eventually led to the formation of the United States. In a July 3, 1776 letter to his wife, John Adams declared that the signing of the Declaration of Independence should be a “great anniversary Festival” and “solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time on. “We have much to be thankful for; however, times have changed and am hoping that our future will be as exciting and invigorating as our first day of independence.

That we will somehow learn to live and work together in a more productive and harmonious way and create a common goal; that our political leaders will realize that there is no “I” in “We” and that fixing what is wrong with our country (and the world) can be accomplished by discussing, brainstorming and creating and formulating ideas leading to solutions that will help the majority of our citizens instead of a small minority. Doing what is right for our country and our people and not for their party (lately, partisan politics has been the norm and never agreeing with the other parties ideas or solutions) and make a concerted and candid eﬀort to work in a “team” mindset! Do we take the path that will build a more fruitful and beneficial future that will create a positive environment we truly all want or we will be doomed to go down the path of no return (as all major em-

pires have perished throughout history). I am quite sure the latter is not what we all want, but what are we all willing to do going forward so that our very young 242-year existence continues on the right track? Only time will tell! Your thoughts? Now on the subject of real estate and what has been going on lately in and around Long Island. Inventory is still extremely and historically low, but interest rates had dropped a bit

over the last two weeks. However, going forward, as prices continue to increase and rates continue to rise (Jerome Powell our Fed chair, will be raising rates at least two more times in 2018), while the economy continues slowly expanding and strengthening. Our unemployment rate as of May was 3.8 percent according to the U.S. Labor Department. However, this doesn’t include those that have stopped searching for a job (discouraged workers), college students and those that are 16 years or younger. The unemployment rate equals the number of unemployed persons/labor force (includes employed and unemployed). The percentage of people in the labor force is the labor force participation rate equals labor force/adult population. This hot market will slow down over the next few years as rates go back to the normal 6.5-7 percent.

Most important has been the price reductions in the overbuilt luxury market in New York City as well as in the burbs, where high end new and old homes are located. S.A.L.T. (state and local taxes) only allows a maximum of $10,000 deduction on your tax returns for 2018. This why there was a rush in December to prepay 2018 real estate taxes, especially those whose taxes were on the higher end way above the $10,000 maximum in 2018, to take the deduction in 2017. I had read that $80,000,000 of taxes were pre-paid in Southampton! Mortgage interest deductions were reduced on new mortgages after Dec. 15, 2017, from $1 million to a maximum of $750,000 (ask your accountant about all the changes that might aﬀect you). This has had a major effect on the higher end luxury market. I would suggest that if you have a home with real estate taxes considerably above the $10,000 allowable deduction, that you do not wait and put your home on the market asap. However, if you are looking to move into New York City and want to try to get a good deal and have the cash to pay with the equity from your sale; wait until this winter (when demand is at its lowest) and you could score an amazing deal in the luxury market (for those individuals and developers, who may have to sell), as prices probably will be reduced from the excessive inventory and the decreased deductions in real estate taxes and interest on mortgages.

N. Shore stands with immigrants

PHOTO BY JANELLE CLAUSEN

Kim Rivera of Port Washington said she came to help draw attention to the plight of children separated from their families at the southern border. the separation of families” at the border. It also came as the country neared July 4, she said, when people “have to ask what kind of country we are celebrating.” “… We need there to be compassion and empathy in how we draft our legislation and how we enforce our legislation,” Lurvey said, “and how we act as a people.”

Patty Katz, a commissioner of the Great Neck Water Pollution Control District and vice president of the progressive group Reach Out America, said that the Trump administration has created a situation where “you can’t just sit back.” “It broke my heart when I saw children being taken from their parents. I understand immigration problems, howev-

er, we are all immigrants in this country,” Katz said. “We’ve lost our compassion, we’ve lost our humanity, and I had to do something – we all have to say we can’t live this way.” “More and more people who usually sit back are saying ‘No, I can’t sit back anymore,’ and I think that’s the diﬀerence,” Katz later added. “Our country’s

really frightening at this point.” Diane Winiarski, a Great Neck resident for 24 years, said she normally isn’t the type to come out and protest. But, she said, everyone who isn’t a violent felon deserves to have a chance to come to this country. “I want to say to the Trump administration: stop this evil policy of keeping people out based on spurious reasons,” Winiarski said. Kim Rivera, a Port Washington resident donning a sign that read “What is the plan to reunite?” said she found out about the rally through moveon.org and felt compelled to attend to raise awareness about nearly 2,000 children still separated from their parents. “I am here to bring notice to the children who are lost in the system,” Rivera said. “The government has no plan to reunite them [with their families] or to find them, so that’s my biggest question: What’s the plan? How are we going to find these children and reunite them?” Steven Weinberg, the mayor of Thomaston, said families must be “reunited immediately” and that people “should not be treated like animals in cages.” “People are outraged and they should be outraged. It is absolutely disgusting,” Weinberg said. “This is definitely a moral crime against humanity and obviously there’s a way to treat immigrants civilly, there’s a way to treat refugees civilly, there’s a way to go through the asylum process civilly and legally.” “Human beings are entitled to due process,” Weinberg added.

Continued from Page 12 rocal Insurers, New Hyde Park real estate developer Glenwood Management and Arizona-based environmental technology firm AbTech Industries. The father and son were convicted on corruption charges in 2015, but the conviction was overturned last September by a federal appeals court, citing a U.S. Supreme Court case involving former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, which narrowed the definition of an “oﬃcial act” and what constitutes corruption. That ruling by the Supreme Court was also used to overturn the corruption conviction of# Democratic Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, who was accused of using his power to secure payments from Glenwood Management and others. At his retrial, Silver was found guilty in May on all seven counts of bribery,

extortion, money laundering and honest services fraud. He remains free on bail and will be sentenced on July 13, according to The New York Times. Bonomo testified that he hired Adam at the behest of Dean Skelos. Last week, an executive at Glenwood#Management testified that Dean Skelos requested that the company steer business to his son, who was “struggling” financially, according to Newsday. Documents compiled by the FBI showed that Adam Skelos took home $441,099 in 2013, up from $145,513 in 2010. By 2015, Adam Skelos seemed to be aware that federal prosecutors were watching him closely. In several wiretapped conversations played last Thursday, he told an executive at AbTech in February 2015 that “there’s very little I could talk about with you right now on

this phone,” according to Newsday. Later that month, his father told him that “we are in dangerous times, Adam.” In the recordings, Adam Skelos discussed purchasing a prepaid “burner” cellphone, according to Newsday, as he was concerned that someone might be listening to his cellphone conversation. He also discussed using a secret code through text messages to talk with an AbTech executive. Dean Skelos helped AbTech win a $12 million contract with the Nassau County government, according to testimony.

Bike ride for a cause begins at Cohen Continued from Page 19 treatment. Cahill was sent off on his ride surrounded by Cohen staff, as well as patients and parents of patients fighting their own battles with the disease. One patient, Kate Sneddon, shared a similar story of fighting her illness with an active lifestyle. Sneddon, 23, from Wantagh, was diagnosed at age 2. She got involved in sports quickly after, she said. Her mother lied about Sneddon’s birthday so she could play soccer after Sneddon saw her sister play and wanted to get involved herself. Sneddon has been running around ever since, she said. Not only does exercise help Sneddon combat her symptoms of fatigue, clear her airways and fight off chronic lung infections, it also helps her not isolate herself, which can happen to people fighting chronic illnesses, she said. “An active lifestyle gives me the op-

Sneddon was able to fight her illness to go away to college, travel to Europe and pursue her doctorate in physical therapy.

Sneddon said she can’t put into words the feeling of relief she gets when she gets one deep breath – which exercise helps her achieve. “I genuinely want that for every cystic fibrosis patient,” Sneddon said. “Even

one deep breath a day, it’s peace and it’s freedom, and I’ll forever be chasing that moment and … hopefully helping other people chase that moment.”

Through the eyes of George Washington Continued from Page 1 Grasso, an associate adjunct professor at New York Institute of Technology at Old Westbury who grew up in Great Neck, said that in the seven years after the war’s end, there had been considerable rebuilding. But his presence on Long Island “really worked a whole patriotic upsurge,” Grasso said, especially in the areas he had always focused on. “His presence in the area was just unfounded,” Grasso said in an interview. “I think it really created a boost for every area: the farming, the commerce, [and] just the patriotic cohesiveness of the area.” The book, a paperback published by the History Press in Charleston, South Carolina, uses maps, Washington’s diary entries, letters, accounts and other documents to trace his movements at a time when the book says “Long Island was redefining itself after the American Revolutionary War and the destruction from occupation.” As Washington traveled between Roslyn and Flushing, Grasso noted in the book, he passed through modern day Great Neck – which had provided “good vantage points” for patrols, “engaging in raids or providing intelligence information for spying” – as well as Port Washington, then known as Cow Neck, and Manhasset. Washington wrote in his diary about visiting the Onderdonk home and made note of the gristmill and two paper mills, which were among the first in the colonies. Washington then made a sheet of paper there, Grasso wrote, because he was interested in “mechanick matters.” “Roslyn, I think, was probably one of the highlights of the tour that he did,” Grasso said. “It’s obviously a very beautiful area and he will stop for breakfast there and, as I said, do some of the commerce.” Grasso also highlighted early colonial homes like the Sands-Willet House, which was home to seven sons “that were either

John Wands IV, was with George Washington’s army at the Battle of Long Island in 1776 in Brooklyn Heights. Prior to Washington’s visit and the departure of Loyalists from Long Island after the war, Grasso noted in the book, Great Neck and Cow Neck were particularly proindependence. In 1775 they voted to split from the pro-British Town of Hempstead; come 1784, it was finalized. Many locals and children came out to Washington’s 1789 inauguration in New

York City, Grasso said, as they were “deeply patriotic” and “recognized that he was a new president.” Grasso said that Washington’s past career as a farmer and surveyor showed in his notes, which focused on “the geography and topography” of the island. He also made comments on places he felt were “well-appointed” or “decent,” she said. “There were a lot of personal observations that he made … He’s giving me a vision of what Long Island was like 200 years ago,” Grasso said. As for Washington’s vision for the future of Long Island, Grasso said it has clearly become much more technologically advanced than the times where people had to row or sail about the Long Island Sound, farms were abundant and reconstruction had to be done by hand. But the island has maintained some farming – which speak to “American roots” – and truly grew commerce, she said, even if it is a lot diﬀerent than what he could have imagined. “The commerce was very important to ensure there was a good economic base and we have continued to do that on Long Island as well,” Grasso said. “And we will continue.” Grasso said the book, in part, came from a love of George Washington and revolutionary history. But she also wanted to commemorate the 11,000 from New York and Long Island – more than anywhere else – who sacrificed themselves to help found the country. “New York had the most deaths from that war of the 13 states, so [my hope is] the people would keep that generation in mind, in heart, and Washington in particular as well, knowing that generation really started our country,” Grasso said. “And it’s up to the rest of us to keep going and to keep working out all of these issues that we have from generation to generation.”

Senate should delay Nassau in fiscal SCOTUS nomination crisis: comptroller

Continued from Page 6 Curran also noted the Legislature’s decision in June to vote down borrowing by the Nassau Interim Finance Authority, the county’s fiscal watchdog. The vote was mostly split along party lines, with Joshua Lafazan, an independent from Syosset who usually caucuses with the Democrats, voting with the GOP against the measure to borrow more than $400 million more to pay tax funds owed to commercial property owners. “NIFA was created to access credit markets at better rates, and the county’s legislative majority neglected this assistance,” Curran said. “This was short sighted.” Nassau County Legislature Minority Leader Kevan Abrahams (D-Freeport) said in a statement that the report “illustrates the depths of the fiscal crisis left behind by the previous administration.” “Revealing the true scope of the county’s deficits and taking an earnest look at our outstanding liabilities better positions Nassau County’s leaders to make the difficult, but necessary decisions to lead Nassau County in a fiscally responsible direction,” Abrahams said. Efforts to reach Presiding Officer and

Majority Leader Richard Nicolello (R- New Hyde Park) were unavailing. The new Independent Audit Advisory Committee, or as Schnirman called it, the “Avengers of accounting,” will help examine the county’s annual external audits and ensure commendations are implemented in a timely manner. The committee consists of five Nassau residents with decades of finance, audit and accounting experience. Schnirman also said the county’s financial tracking and payroll processing software programs are outdated, noting that hundreds of staﬀ hours are wasted annually inputting data into Excel files. The process is also prone to risk, he said, as the systems can crash with no way of resorting them. The county must restructure, reform and modernize, Schnirman said. “We must reimagine how government does business in Nassau County,” he said. “The same old excuses and tired solutions will no longer cut it.” Reach reporter Rebecca Klar by email at rklar@theislandnow.com, by phone at 516307-1045, ext. 204, or follow her on Twitter @rebeccaklar_.

With a solid ultra-rightwing majority, Trump will be emboldened to do even worse things – give a “shoot-to-kill” order against migrants crossing the border (he admires Duterte of the Philippines so much for his extrajudicial killings); shut down news organizations he doesn’t like; launch a war without Congress. Impose taxes on companies, as he threatened Harley Davidson, who don’t support his policy. You can imagine that the man who demanded a loyalty oath, who runs the nation based on his self-interest, who was described by fired FBI Director James

Comey as a Mafia Boss, will make it clear: I will make you Supreme Court Justice for Life, but you will rule in favor of a Unitary Executive, who cannot be indicted or required to give evidence, who can pardon anyone including himself, who cannot obstruct justice or abuse power because, “If a President does it, well, it must be legal.” Or as Louis XIV put it: “L’etat, c’est moi.” But we know how that turned out. Didn’t we fight a war with Britain over this same issue? Something to think about during the fireworks’ red glare, July 4th.

My Father’s Place returns to Roslyn

PHOTO BY AMELIA CAMURATI

The Molotov Cocktails helped kick off the grand reopening for My Father’s Place at a rehearsal on Thursday. Continued from Page 2 bourbon, bitters and an orange twist, the Mill River with Remy Martin cognac, Triple Sec, Drambuie and lemon and the North Shore mule with vodka, ginger, amaro and lime. This weekend, Band X takes the stage Friday night before! Robert Gordon! with Chris Spedding, Anton Fig and Rob Stoner on Saturday night for a sold-out performance.

Kellachan said the venue wants to “tie the past to the present” for “people with those fond memories of hanging out at what was a world-renowned club that literally changed the music scene, not just here on Long Island.” Reach reporter Amelia Camurati by email at acamurati@theislandnow.com, by phone at 516-307-1045, ext. 215, or follow her on Twitter @acamurati.

Continued from Page 3 ability to be independent and get information,” Ruzenski said. Of course, there is more than just job training. Students at the center learn how to use public transportation to reach their jobs and how to cook for themselves. “The youth come here … and we learn cooking techniques through touch,” said Maricar Marquez, the deaf-blind supervisor of the independent living department who communicated through sign language. “In the past, I’ve taught students how to cook lasagna, and I really enjoyed that.” But funding remains a challenge. The new technology is expensive — the Braille keyboards cost about $6,000 each — and getting deaf-blind persons to Sands Point is often diﬃcult. By Ruzenski’s estimation, there are about 2.4 million deaf-blind people in the

United States, although the number is difficult to pin down since cases in seniors often go unreported. That is more than the Sands Point facility can handle, but many of those people do not have close access to a place like the Helen Keller National Center.!And in other parts of the world, Ruzenski noted, deaf-blind people have even fewer resources. She said that during the awareness week she wanted to show that the deafblind are worth the investment. “They really do want to work … they’re not going to come in late, they want to excel,” she said. “We want them to have opportunities like you or me to live a fulfilling life.” Reach reporter Luke Torrance by email at ltorrance@theislandnow.com, by phone at 516-307-1045, ext. 214, or follow him on Twitter @LukeATorrance.
