The casket of Ty Patrick Flood is placed into a hearse outside of St. Aidan’s Church in Williston Park.

In the game of baseball, there are three true outcomes. When Ty Patrick Flood was at bat in the Williston Park Little League, more often than not there were only two, a walk or strikeout. Except for one day, when he made contact down the third baseline. Flood, who was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy when he was about 5 years old, ran to first before realizing the ball was overthrown into right field. He made it to second, before realizing again the right fielder had missed his middle infielder

and the ball sailed into left field. Ty was at third. He was at home. A home run for Ty Patrick Flood. It was probably the first time the other team was cheering for an opponent, as loudly as Flood’s teammates and family, said Ty’s Uncle Thomas on Friday at St. Aidan’s Church on Willis Avenue, where his funeral services were held. Flood, 17, died April 21. At a young age, he was diagnosed with DMD, a genetic disorder and muscle disease that progressively debilitates the patient and requires the assistance of a wheelchair for most. Continued on Page 45

109 candles for Sister Mineola FD, Scouts Francis Piscatella eye parade return E.W resident celebrates in-person after COVID-19 Ask village to take over Memorial Day event BY B R A N D ON D U FF Y

BY B R A N D ON D U FF Y

An East Williston resident and a member of the Sisters of St. Dominic of Amityville, Sister Francis Piscatella, turned 109 years old on April 20, making her the second oldest nun in the nation, according to the religious organization. Piscatella’s life has not lacked adversity, starting with her left forearm being amputated at just 2 years old. Born in Central Islip on April 20, 1913, Piscatella has survived both world wars, the Great Depression, and now two worldwide health pandemics (Spanish flu and COVID-19). This year was be the first birthday Piscaetlla was able to enjoy with family without social distancing, she told Newsday. “It’s nice to have a birthday, especially when you’re 109. I can’t believe it. I’m still here,” she said. “I’ve enjoyed my life and I’m very grateful for the life I’ve had. I’m grateful all these people wanted to come see this old lady.” Piscatella joined the Dominicans in 1931 after being turned away from several other religious communities due to her disability. Piscatella earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education at St. John’s University before becoming a grade school math teacher in Brooklyn. Piscatella also spent 52 years teaching at Molloy College and worked at its financial aid oﬃce before retiring at the age of 84. For her birthday last year during COVID-19, the religious organization said in a statement on Facebook that Piscatella has kept a “low profile” since the pandemic hit in March 2020, and has had to celebrate her birthdays during the pandemic waving to friends, family and colleagues from inside her East Williston apartment. The organization said then she has remained busy with attending virtual masses and spending a great deal of

Mineola Mayor Paul Pereira has said the village has been approached by the Mineola Fire Department along with the Boy Scouts Troop 45 of Mineola to potentially organize Mineola’s Memorial Day Parade this year. For the past two years, the annual parade has been on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, an observance was held in Memorial Park. Two veterans organizations have held the parade in years past, Mineola VFW Post 1305 and the American Legion, but the VFW post has closed due to a lack of membership. Pereira said last Wednesday that the department and troop inquired about taking over responsibilities for the parade. “We’re very happy about that and as a village board, we are going to do what we can to help them to continue this tradition of having the Memorial Day Parade, which of course is followed by a brief ceremony down at Memorial Park,” Pereira said during his report. “We are going to do every-

thing possible to make sure that happens and we think it will because once you give something to our volunteer firemen, they will make sure that it happens.” Pereira also provided an update on the new Fire Department headquarters currently being built on Jericho Turnpike, saying “major construction” is expected to be completed by a window from September to October. In recent weeks, steel beams have been erected on the old site of the previous firehouse, which was demolished in 2021 due to structural issues. after more than a century of operations. Trustee Paul Cusato also congratulated Department Chief Andrew Martone, First Assistant Chief Domingo Magalhaes and Second Assistant Chief Bryan Strauss for getting sworn into their respective positions for another year. Martone was sworn in by Pereira at Department Company 3 on Elm Street. The next meeting for the Mineola Board of Trustees will be held on Wednesday, May 4.

Piscatella told Catholic News Service last year. “He just wants me to hang around.” Contributing reporting by Rob Pelaez.

Currently, she still works with the town as part of the communications department. Also on the ballot will be the vote for the $125.3 million budget proposal for the 2022-23 school year. The proposal represents a spending increase of 1.99% from the current year and calls for a tax increase of 0.5%. Breaking down the budget, 76 percent of it is devoted to programs and 13 percent goes to capital improvements, according to district oﬃcials. The district anticipates state aid of $16.6 million, an increase of $2.2 million from the current year. A final budget review will be held on May 5.

Herricks social studies top notch: chair Anthony Cillis cites state, national awards in annual presentation to the board of trustees BY B R A N D ON D U FF Y Anthony Cillis said Herricks’ social studies curriculum one of the best on Long Island in the district during his annual board presentation Tuesday night. Cillis, who has been chairperson of Social Studies since 2020, explained progress reports on how social studies has evolved in recent times through grades K–12 between elementary, middle and high school. Specifically, he said that Herricks High School has received national and state awards, elective course participation and success on college-level Advanced Placement Courses. For the elementary schools, CIllis said he held workshops with staﬀ to better understand how the subject matter was going to be taught in light of new state standards in 2017. “One of our plans was to try and get all of the elementary teachers and talk to them about what your intention is and how are we moving forward with grades K–5 elementary social studies education.” Cillis acknowledged that social studies could not be taught every day due to the importance of math and science at younger ages. He also acknowledged that some teachers may need help teaching social studies because

The Herricks Board of Education received a status update on the district’s social studies curriculum Tuesday night. “elementary school teachers need to be experts at everything.” To compensate, Cillis said, department oﬃcials helped put together a fluid document of standard lesson plans on a number of topics that any teacher can view and tweak to how they see fit if need be. In Herricks Middle School, Cillis said, they are bringing back a writing program that the district suspended the past two years in light of COVID-19. From sixth to eighth grade, diﬀerent

projects include research papers with a thesis, counterargument and bibliography, depending on the grade. For the same grades, there’s a language immersion that involves learning about social studies in Spanish class, for example. “This program makes us very diﬀerent than other schools,” Cillis said. “And I will admit that we have suspended that in the last year because you wanted to make sure that our kids were able to come back and be able to handle school in general and not worry about

too many things but we were bringing it back next year.” Because of the district’s eﬀorts, Herricks received a $30,000 grant from Stony Brook University for their news literacy program to expand it into younger grades and introduce the curriculum to more Long Island schools, Cillis said. In high school, students have to write separate research papers from grades 9 to 12 that encompass roughly 50 pages, Cillis said. In order for seniors to graduate, they must pass their Partici-

pation in Government course which entails a PiG project. The project involves a research paper, civic action project or community service and an understanding of school budgets. The lengthy assignment, Cillis said, has done a great job of keeping the students engaged late in their senior year, when many are emotionally checked out. Over the past three years, social studies have had the most enrollment compared to English, math and science classes, according to district numbers. For AP placement exams, social studies have had 43 percent of the tests taken in the district from 2020-2021, the most in the high school. “I don’t think there’s a district on Long Island that oﬀers as many social studies courses as we do,” Cillis said. “We oﬀer the most AP classes of any discipline and they’re all well attended.” Board President Henry Zanetti held a moment of silence for Ty Patrick Flood, the Herricks High School senior who recently passed away. Flood, 17, had Duchene Muscular Dystrophy, a genetic disorder and muscle disease that progressively debilitates the patient and requires the assistance of a wheelchair for most. The next meeting for the Herricks Board of Education will take place on Thursday, May 5.

Town Beach Park to get $1M from feds Suozzi touts money for 90-acre park in Port Washington that covers a 1.25-mile shoreline BY B R A N D ON D U FF Y North Hempstead Beach Park and the Nancy Court Pump Station in Glen Cove will each receive $1 million as part of a $33 million package to invest in Long Island and Northeast Queens for environmental cleanup and restoration projects. The news came following a Thursday announcement, the eve of Earth Day, at Sea Cliﬀ Municipal Beach during a press conference held by U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove) where he was joined by North Hempstead and state officials along with environmental activists. “Community Project Funding allows member of Congress to request funding to support specific community projects that will have the most real-life impacts in their districts. Of the eight projects that I secured in the federal budget, five of them are environmental clean-up and restoration projects,” said Suozzi in a statement. “I have devoted a significant part of my past 25 years in public service to cleaning up the pollution, dramatically reducing nitrogen, modernizing sewage treatment plants, and restoring shellfishing in our local waters. Since coming to Congress in 2017, I have fought for and successfully helped increase federal funding by 900% to clean up and restore the Long Island Sound.

Engineering and construction are set to cost slightly upwards of $2.3 million for the shoreline, according to North Hempstead spokesperson Gordon Tepper. Other aspects of the project are in the design process and costs are not yet finalized. The former Bar Beach, located on West Shore Road in Port Washington, came under the jurisdiction of the Town of North Hempstead in late 2007 when it also acquired Hempstead Harbor Park and reopened them both as North Hempstead Beach Park. Glen Cove Mayor Pam Panzenbeck said the funding will help with the growing needs of her city and bring it into compliance with a memorandum issued by the Nassau County Department of Health. “The City of Glen Cove is thrilled to be receiving this much-needed $1,000,000 to be used for the upgrade of the Nancy Court Pump Station,” Panzenbeck said. “Rehabilitation of this pump station is critical to meet the increasing water needs of our city. We are thankful to Congressman Suozzi for his continued eﬀorts on behalf of the City of Glen Cove.”

Blakeman to end COVID housing relief Cites low demand; Democratic legislors blast a source of aid to residents, businesses hurt by pandemic BY R OB E RT PE L A E Z

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE’S OFFICE

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman announced the elimination of the Household Assistance Program which will go into effect on May 15.

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman will be ending a pandemic-relief program that provides residents with a one-time payment of $375, according to a letter sent to members of the Legislature on Friday. Blakeman cited “extremely low participation” as to why he plans to discontinue the Household Assistance Program on May 15. All applications submitted by eligible residents before May 15, he said, would be processed. Oﬃcials from the county comptroller’s oﬃce said more than 70,000 out of the eligible 400,000 households throughout Nassau County filed for the one-time direct payment. Blakeman previously said he planned to retain the program, implemented by his predecessor Laura Curran, a Democrat, but pointed out that the initiative now “appears to be trickling out.” The funds for the program came from $100 million out of the $193 million in American Rescue Plan Act monies allocated to the county. The program was approved 18-1 in the Republican-controlled Legislature last fall. Minority Leader Kevan Abra-

hams (D-Freeport) said Blakeman’s elimination of the program was an example of his “undercutting efforts to deliver immediate, meaningful financial relief” to Nassau County households with a combined income of up to $500,000. “Rather than pulling the rug out from under our residents, we should be redoubling our efforts to get these funds into the hands of eligible taxpayers and local businesses,” Abrahams said in a statement. “This is just the latest example of how the county executive and his administration are out of touch with the needs of Nassau County’s working families.” For individuals who want to file for the one-time payment before the May 15 deadline, they must provide proof of suffering a negative economic impact from the pandemic to be eligible for the payment. Documents such as receipts of unemployment benefits, food or housing insecurity, increased childcare expenses, coronavirus-related death expenses or unreimbursed remote work/learning expenses can be submitted through the Boost Nassau online portal. The payments will only be sent to homeowners who already receive the state’s STAR or enhanced STAR exemptions, officials said.

Butera: behavior ‘completely professional’ BY B R A N D ON D U FF Y Former Manhasset Superintendent Vincent Butera said in a letter to the community he was not aware interactions he called part of his daily responsibilities were perceived “as anything less than completely professional.” Butera wrote to Blank Slate Media an oped giving his perspective on the complaint involving sexual harassmentand subsequent investigation two years ago that ended in his resignation from the district. “It has always been my intent to demonstrate care and kindness in my personal and professional interactions,” Butera said. “Those who know me know that had I been made aware, I would have responded immediately and appropriately.” In September 2020, a Shelter Rock Elementary School teacher filed a complaint alleging that Butera made her feel uncomfortable after hugging her twice in school and frequently visiting her classroom to “just stand in the back and stare,” according to NBC News. Both incidents were described as “creepy.” Following Butera’s voluntary leave, the school district appointed Gaurav Passi to serve as interim superintendent in August, a position he remains in. After that filing, the district hired the law office of Shaw, Perelson, May & Lambert to investigate the allegations. Two months later, the firm found that since Butera’s actions were perceived as unwelcome by the teacher, they were against district policy.

Blank Slate Media tried to obtain a document outlining the law firm’s findings through a public-records request in May, but Rosemary Johnson, deputy superintendent for business and operations, declined to release it, citing the district’s attorney-client privilege and saying the record’s disclosure would “result in an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.” Johnson issued an impassioned defense of Butera at a school board meeting last year. She called Butera an educational visionary with an unblemished career, arguing that a personnel change had led to Butera’s sexual harassment scandal. The Manhasset Board of Education unanimously approved a separation agreement with Butera during a special meeting in February. At the time, Butera was on paid administrative leave since May 2021 and will remain so until his resignation from the district becomes effective on July 11, according to the agreement. Butera will also receive the full remainder of his annual pay, $286,844, until his contract expires on June 30, 2023, according to the agreement. Passi, who was appointed to fill in for Butera during the investigation, was appointed to become the district’s full-time superintendent after the board reached the separation agreement with Butera. In his letter to the community, Butera said it is surreal to have his reputation “subjected to this degree of calumny.” Butera said he was also thankful for the Manhasset community that supported him. “The past several years have shown each

Former Manhasset Superintendent Vincent Butera reflected on his time as the head of schools in a letter to Blank Slate Media. of us that every so often the universe sends us a message that life is sometimes hard and unfair, yet the only thing we control is how we respond and what we learn from these moments,” Butera said. “While there are many challenges that lie ahead, may our willingness to engage in a dialogue of understanding and care make this a time of resil-

ience, healing, and personal growth for all.” Officials from the Manhasset School District and Board of Education did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Board of Education President Pat Aitken previously acknowledged the “heated reaction in the school community” as a result of the investigation but said some of the claims against Butera by those urging that he be removed from his position were “uninformed.” Aitken said Butera helped navigate the district through the initial year of the COVID-19 pandemic and prioritized the mental health and well-being of students, staff and families during his four-year tenure as superintendent. “With the passage of time, both Dr. Butera and the district have mutually agreed that it is now best to put this chapter behind us,” Aitken previously said. This understandably has been a difficult time for the Manhasset school community, Dr. Butera, and everyone involved in this matter. We remain hopeful this resolution will enable all to move forward.” Butera, in an earlier statement through spokesperson Jamie Moss of newsPros, said he appreciated the board’s “comprehensive understanding of the complexity of the situation” and that the decision to not enforce any disciplinary actions was the correct one. “I am pleased that as a result of what the board learned during the investigation process, it made necessary and recommended revisions to the district’s harassment policy for the benefit of all,” Butera said. District officials did not say what the specific changes to the harassment policy were.

BY R OB E RT PE L A E Z A Roslyn cardiologist was arrested last week for allegedly defrauding Medicare and Medicaid of more than $1.3 million in claims during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York. Federal prosecutors said Dr. Perry Frankel, 64, charged Medicare and Medicaid for COVID-19 tests that were never conducted. Frankel, the owner of Advanced Cardiovascular Diagnostics PLLC in New Hyde Park, was charged with three counts of health care fraud for the alleged scheme against Medicare and Medicaid. “As alleged, exploiting a public health crisis by using patients who received COVID-19 tests at mobile testing sites to fraudulently bill Medicare and Medicaid for fictitious office visits is reprehensible,” said Breon Peace, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York Breon Peace. “This Office and our law enforcement partners will vigorously prosecute those who take advantage of the pandemic to steal from taxpayer-funded programs.” The charges against Frankel, which were filed in Central Islip, are part of a larger effort by the Eastern District Criminal Division Fraud Section’s Medicare Fraud Strike Force.

Susan Maxwell, director man on Monday announced the 2022 Nassau County Games for the Physically Challenged at Albertson’s The Viscardi Center. On June 2 — 4 at the Mitchel Athletic Complex in Uniondale and Nassau Community College, the games will feature participants aged 5 to 21 with disabilities competing in track and field, archery, swimming, wheelchair basketball, table tennis and slalom. This will be the first year of the games since they were canceled for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “The student athletes who participate in the Nassau County Games for the Physically Challenged are truly inspirational to watch,” Blakeman said in a statement. “I encourage all residents to come down to Mitchel Field June 2-4, to see the student athletes in action and join in on the fun! I would also like to extend thanks and gratitude to the generous sponsors that have allowed us to keep the Games alive here in Nassau County.” In 1985, New York become the first state to offer a free adapted sports program for kids, one year after Long Island hosted the International Games for the Disabled, which PHOTO COURTESY OF THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE is now known as the Paralympic Games. 2022 will be the 36th year of competition Nassau County Executive (left) stands alongside The Viscardi Center CEO Chris Rosa for the games.

Ryder said a Nassau detective noticed the stolen car, a Mercedes Benz, in Roslyn and attempted to stop the car, but the driver of the Mercedes rammed into the detective’s car, according to officials. Officials said the three teenagers fled in the car, which suffered a flat tire after hitting the detective’s car, before all three were apprehended on the Long Island Expressway.

He also said car thieves will drive the car around, leave it somewhere and if nobody comes near the car and it is not impounded, then the car will be rented to another individual who uses it to commit other crimes. According to Ryder, 121 vehicles were stolen year-to-date throughout Nassau County in 2021. During the same time frame since the start of 2022, he said, that number has increased to 370, an increase of more than 200% from last year.

Opinion

OUR VIEWS

Attracting businesses Editorial Cartoon to Nassau County

he good news is that the unemployment rate in Nassau County fell to a very low 3.2 percent in March. The bad news is that many Nassau County businesses are struggling to fill job openings. County Executive Bruce Blakeman stressed the importance of bringing new businesses to Nassau to help make the county affordable for current and future residents during his State of the County address. “In order to keep residential properties in check, we must increase our tax base by recruiting new businesses to Nassau County to provide jobs and establish prosperity for all communities,” Blakeman said. We agree with Blakeman on the need for new business. The question is how to attract the businesses and people to work here. Nassau certainly has many appealing aspects — especially for high earners who can afford homes here. Good schools, nice homes, and close access to New York City make the county an attractive place to live for business owners. The county has also made Nassau more attractive to prospective and expanding businesses with tax breaks. Douglas W. Atkins, a partner at Forchelli Deegan Terrana LLP law firm in Uniondale, offers another way to make Nassau more attractive to business owners — cutting taxes. Atkins recently pointed out in an article that appeared in Blank Slate Media that unlike most municipalities Nassau County taxes commercial real estate at a higher rate than residential – as much as three times higher. The tax rate varies significantly, Atkins notes, based on location, namely school district. But most of the county’s 30,000 commercial properties pay taxes of 4 to 9 percent of value, and while the 370,000 residential properties pay 2.5 to 4 percent of value. Atkins called this “business hostility,” noting that in nine of the 13 towns

on Long Island, businesses are taxed at the same level as homes in nine of them. Businesses are taxed at a higher rate in the other four. An obvious way for Nassau County to attract new business and retain existing ones would be to tax commercial properties at the same rate as residential properties. Blakeman has already asked County Comptroller Elaine Philips to review the county assessment system, but businesses probably should not start to spend their savings now – or anytime in the future. Blakeman’s request for a review was aimed at aiding residential property owners — not businesses — coming after he campaigned for county executive by attacking the high cost of property taxes to residents under Laura Curran and discrepancies in rates between similar homes. Even though the county portion of property taxes represents a small share of residents’ tax burden. Curran had, as promised, overseen the first reassessment of all forms of Nassau property in eight years. A study by Newsday found that during this time $2.2 billion in taxes were shifted away from wealthier – and older and whiter – property owners who challenged their assessments to generally less aﬄuent, less white and younger property owners who didn’t challenge their assessments The analysis of the rates after the reassessment found “that the new assessments are well within every major professional standard of accuracy and fairness.” But Republicans still objected. So we now await the results of Phillips’ review. We would hope to see Phillips recommend that all property is reassessed yearly so that people would actually pay what they owe. And that commercial property is assessed at the same rate as residential. But we are not going to hold our breath. A lower assessment on business-

es would mean a higher assessment on homes. So how does Nassau attract new businesses and people to work here given the county’s high taxes, high housing costs, low housing inventory and low unemployment? Suffolk County would not seem to be a better place to find new employees with a 3.5 percent unemployment rate in March. But New York City has a high unemployment rate with nearby Queens at 5.8 percent, Brooklyn at 6.3 percent and the Bronx at 8.6 percent. The downside to attracting New York City residents is the increasing number of people who do not want to commute to work, more opportunities for them to work remotely and the increased highway traffic brought by those who do want to work here. Long and costly commutes could be eliminated by expanding the amount of housing in the county, affordable or otherwise. The power to increase housing rests entirely in the hands of local towns and villages, which control local zoning laws. But getting local governments to change zoning to allow more housing has no better chance than assessing business prop-

erties the same as residential. Free-standing single homes account for more than 75 of Nassau’s housing stock – the third highest rate among the most populous counties in the United States. Suffolk is second at 81 percent. By contrast, Westchester is at 44 percent. Gov. Kathy Hochul announced in February a $25 billion, five-year housing plan intended to create and preserve 100,000 affordable homes in critically short New York, increase construction of new homes and tackle inequities in the housing market. Hochul’s plan included proposed legislation to require municipalities to allow a minimum of one accessory dwelling unit on all owner-occupied residential zoned lots. She quickly withdrew the plan in the face of opposition by county Republicans and Democrats like Congressman Tom Suozzi, who is challenging her for his party’s nomination for governor. The critics said Hochul’s plan would end single-family housing in New York and destroy Nassau as a suburban oasis. “Gov. Hochul has declared war on the suburbs, the environment, local infrastructure, our schools, accessible parking and manageable traffic, among all of

REPORTERS Robert Pelaez, Brandon Duffy COLUMNIST Karen Rubin ACCOUNT EXECUTIVES Stacy Shaughnessy, Melissa Spitalnick, Wendy Kates, Linda Robinson, Steven Schoenfarber ART DIRECTOR Jewell Davis

the other benefits that go along with the suburban quality of life that we enjoy on Long Island,” Hempstead Supervisor Don Clavin said in a fairly representative comment. In presenting this apocryphal vision, the critics seemed to lend support to Hochul’s contention that there is a large shortage of housing in New York. But the critics believed that housing should be provided somewhere else – even for people working in Nassau. Even smaller, mixed-used developments that include retail and housing are routinely met in many Nassau communities with similar opposition. According to opponents of Hochul’s plan, Nassau County – or at least the part of it in which they reside has as many residents as it can hold. Nassau County residents and businesses routinely complain about the county’s high property taxes. But they also routinely vote for school budgets supported by property taxes that represent two-thirds of their bill. And they oppose the housing that would help the county attract the businesses needed to make local taxes aﬀordable. We wish Blakeman good luck in squaring that circle.

KREMER’S CORNER

Hochul’s wins are a victory for New York

he King in Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part 2 states that “heavy is the head that wears the crown.” That statement may apply to kings, but it also applies to other people in power. In New York State, it is most applicable to Gov. Kathy Hochul. Since she assumed power last August, she has had challenge after challenge and she has taken on every one of them. Coming into oﬃce after Andrew Cuomo was not an easy ride. Over almost eight years, she was an eﬀective lieutenant governor, traveling to every nook and cranny of the state. Most people in that position spend their time hoping they will get an assignment from their boss. Former Governor David Patterson was once asked what a lieutenant governor does and he responded, “I call the governor and if he answers, I hang up.” Becoming governor was an easy task for Mrs. Hochul. Thanks to her abundant travels, she had become a familiar face in every town, village and city of the state. From

Montauk to Buffalo, every mayor, trustee, county executive or chamber of commerce official, got to know Kathy Hochul on a first name basis. When you come into office with a reservoir of goodwill, it helps when dealing with New York voters and a state legislature with its own agenda. Most people knew little or nothing about the current governor. She has held a variety of local offices from town clerk to member of Congress. She comes from a part of the state where its elected officials are grossly underestimated. Western New Yorkers have to deal with everything from massive snowstorms to numerous economic shocks. She is a product of a region where elected officials are constantly tested. Many political observers were wondering how the governor would handle the state’s legislative leaders. Both Senate Majority Leader Cousins and Assembly Speaker Heastie have many members who are not open to compromise. Due to recent election patterns, there are now many more progressive legis-

JERRY KREMER Kremer’s Corner

lators in both houses who are anxious to spend the state’s moneys in amounts that are beyond what is in the treasury. They talk about billions as if it was small change and are not willing to take no for an answer. Getting an agreement on this year’s budget was destined to be a tough job. Thanks to the federal government, our state was sitting

with billions in available cash and many inner city legislators wanted to spend it all at once. Gov. Hochul introduced her budget in January and proposed that $1.5 billion be set aside as a reserve against future obligations. The legislature looked upon those dollars as money to be spent, but showing a steely spine, Governor Hochul won the battle over the rainy day fund. When she proposed her programs, which included a 10-point bail reform eﬀort, the governor took on a large group of city legislators who had a variety of expensive programs and had no interest in bail reform. In the end, the governor got her priorities and pushed through the largest school aid increase in state history, a major increase for underpaid health care workers, expansion of the early childhood programs and fresh dollars for childcare initiatives. Her proposals for bail reform were met with bitter criticism and one of the legislators threatened a hunger strike to demonstrate her opposition.

Mrs. Hochul got a few key changes including allowing judges to order bail in cases involving repeat oﬀenders or crimes that involve serious harm. She helped prosecutors who were working overtime due to discovery requirements that were unreasonable. Overall, considering the number of liberal legislators in both houses, she got much of what the public wanted. Luckily for Long Island voters, the governor has also established a strong working relationship with the five Democratic senators. She meets with them frequently and has supported many of their proposals with fresh dollars. That is a stark change from the Andrew Cuomo years. If you said the wrong thing or resisted his pressure, you were in the doghouse for an indefinite period of time. It is fair to say that Kathy Hochul has governed from the middle and has never been reluctant to fight for what she believes in. On June 28, primary voters will have a chance to see if my observations are correct. For the sake of our state, I hope so.

A LOOK ON THE LIGHTER SIDE

Taking a trip to the Hall of Shame

never stop being surprised at the power of embarrassment. Or maybe I should say, the power of family, to cause it. I remember my toddler son, at lunch with me and my friend in a very kosher deli in Great Neck, demanding loudly for a piece of “special ham.” When folks at nearby tables turned around to see who was making such a request, in a kosher deli no less, I shrugged and explained “it’s his name for corned beef.” I thought that had taken care of things until the friend with me said, “So, ham is such a commonplace thing in your house, and corned beef such a rarity, that to get him to eat corned beef, you call it ham?” “Time to head back to the car!” I said brightly. Embarrassment becomes turbocharged when your children become teens, reaching an apex with the classic junior-year-of-high-school college campus visits. I was allowed to accompany my own progeny only if I obeyed the rules: No eye contact. No speaking. If anyone on the tour could guess whose parent I was, I must leave the tour. Of course, any other parent could have divined our relatedness in an instant: my child was the one at the geometrically provable farthest point from me in the group.

I was especially glad he was out of earshot when I slipped on some late-winter ice and fell ignominiously into a late-winter drift of snow. I was able to scramble back to my feet before anyone saw — especially not him, away at the front of the group. Thank goodness, the only person I’d embarrassed was myself. My personal Hall of Shame includes at least one other notable incident. My kindergartener’s class was making their biggest field trip of the year to Westbury Gardens, and I had lost the lottery for being the mom who would accompany them on that trip. But I had a bigger concern. This child had just recovered from a bout of croup (breathing with such difficulty it can sound like whooping cough) two nights before — out of the blue — and I had not fully recovered myself from the experience of rushing him, through the night air with every car window rolled down, to the Emergency Room. After examination, a dose of steroids, and a wait to make sure they took eﬀect, the doctors sent us home. This was his first day back at school, but I was still nervous about him, so I asked the teacher for permission to accompany the trip. Just to make sure he was okay. What happened next was that

JUDY EPSTEIN

A Look on the Lighter Side the teacher called for the assistant principal to come talk to me. Unbeknownst to me, this was the most inflammatory request I could have made. At least one other mom had just been turned away for wanting the same thing: How could they

agree to let me join the trip? “But I just want to be there so I can peel oﬀ with him to the hospital if he has another episode; you certainly wouldn’t be able to take him there in the school bus,” I protested. “That’s true,” the A.P. replied. “Tell me this,” she said, and came closer till she was nose-to-nose with me. “Promise me you won’t do anything foolish, like follow the school bus all the the way to the Gardens.” I wasn’t sure whether she was saying DON’T do this, or in a fingerscrossed kind of way, Do EXACTLY this. Either way, I said, “I-I promise?” and she seemed satisfied. So I followed the bus in my car — but at enough of a distance that I got lost anyway. Finally I caught up with the kids, on their tour of the house. But I had sworn to the teacher that I would have all possible medications on me, in case my child needed anything. They were all in a back-pack that my

husband had converted to being our Safety First go-bag. The bag was suﬃciently bulky that, when turning around, I almost knocked into some priceless porcelain heirlooms in the drawing room. But at least I was prepared for any emergency. My child’s croup did not recur. But at the end of the trip, on the way back through the parking lot to where the bus was parked, another child tripped and skinned their knee. “Oh! I’ve got it covered!” I shouted, and rushed over to them with my enormous backpack…only to find that, for some reason, there didn’t seem to be any such thing as a band-aid, anywhere in the bag. I had tagged along, and almost caused a catastrophe, only to be completely useless. That was enough embarrassment to last me … well, to last me until that child wanted to look at colleges.

THE BACK ROAD

The victim’s viewpoint matters the most

ccording to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, 90% of employees who experience sexual harassment never file a formal complaint and 75% never complain to their employers either. On August 20, 2021, I devoted this space to former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s resignation after he was accused by eleven women of sexual harassment in the workplace. He has denied all charges. Most recently he has taken steps to invalidate the claims against him by invoking a number of district attorneys’ findings that criminal charges would not be pursued, “due to the statutory requirements of the criminal laws of New York.” Despite his denials, he did acknowledge that “we have sexism that is culturalized and institutionalized” and told his daughters that he made mistakes and that he would “never intentionally disrespect a woman or treat any woman diﬀerently than I would want them treated.” His daughter Michaela CuomoKennedy, 24, an advocate against sexual assault in college, defended her dad, stating that he was victim to a “manufactured #MeToo-style PR oﬀensive.” Two facts that I included in my August piece, bear repeating. In 2018 Cuomo signed into law a sexual harassment training requirement that mandates employers of one or more employees to conduct sexual harassment

prevention training for all employees, including themselves. The charges that were brought by eleven women that the ex-governor sexually harassed them were investigated by New York Attorney General Letitia James. Although there is debate about whether or not Cuomo sat for the prevention training, having taken the course myself multiple times, I know that what qualifies as sexual harassment in the workplace was presented unambiguously. “I want you to know directly from me,” Cuomo said, “that I never touched anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances.” Not so, said a spokesperson for AG James, “Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women, there is a mountain of evidence to support these findings, which were corroborated and deemed credible by multiple District Attorneys.” David Soares, the Albany County district attorney, said of one accuser under his jurisdiction, “While we found the complainant in this case cooperative and credible, after review of all the available evidence we have concluded that we cannot meet our burden at trial.” This came within weeks of Westchester and Nassau County district attorney’s stating, for similar reasons that Soares laid out, they would not file criminal charges against Cuomo for complaints

ANDREW MALEKOFF The Back Road

that he forcibly touched women. Cuomo asked, “How can you have a report that said 11 cases, and then it goes to qualified law enforcement and they find no cases?” DA Soares clarified, “The decision to discontinue criminal prosecution is unrelated to any possible civil liability, which is beyond the scope of a District Attorney’s jurisdiction.” Undeterred, “It was a fraud,” Cuomo concluded, “they wanted me out.” Perhaps “they” did want him out. Still, a distinction must be drawn so as not to discourage other victims of sexual harassment from coming forward. They have every right to work without being harassed, regardless of what others’ political motivations might be.

Sexual harassment generally violates civil and not criminal laws. Because certain behavior may not rise to the level of criminal prosecution, does not mean it should not be reported in the workplace. It appears that the ex-governor does not fully understand the law he enacted, did not sit for or fully absorb the training he was required to take, is intentionally misleading the public, or truly believes that although he made mistakes, his behavior did not rise to the level sexual harassment. One of the frequently asked questions about the law on its NY State website is, “How serious does the harassment have to be before I can file a complaint?” “Harassment is not making someone feel uncomfortable,” Cuomo said, “that is not harassment. If I just made you feel uncomfortable, that is not harassment. That’s you feeling uncomfortable.” Sounds like gaslighting. What is gaslighting? A manipulative approach by one person intended to lead another person to believe that, not only are they mistaken about what happened to them, but that there are no grounds for their charges. Eﬀective gaslighting can lead victims of sexual harassment who have felt empowered to stand up, to question their own sanity and, then, recant allegations against their abusers. Beyond gaslighting, Cuomo’s latest gambit is to invoke cancel culture. “Can-

cel culture says if you don’t agree with me and my point of view, you should be canceled,” he said. Were eleven women and a force behind them out to cancel Cuomo? Does he believe employees’ viewpoints matter? Was this all a big misunderstanding? “You hear from people that when they put their arm around someone, it wasn’t meant to be sexual,” said David Lewis, CEO of HR consultancy OperationsInc, “That’s almost irrelevant. The victim’s viewpoint matters most.” “Employees have the right not to be touched at work, or addressed in a diminutive way or hear jokes about the tightness of their clothing,” Lewis says. “People put way too much emphasis on intent rather than perception.” Cuomo’s sexual harassment prevention training law encourages employees to be bold. The law was enacted to equip employees working in NY State with the steps needed to fight back if they experience unwelcome sexual advances or requests for sexual favors and any other verbal or physical conduct that is of a sexual nature or directed at employees based on their sex. No one has the right to cause anyone to lose their dignity or self-respect in the workplace. Only standing tall, often against all odds, will change a toxic workplace culture.

Use gamesmanship to be the champ

ohammed Ali, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Tiger Woods were all masters of “gamesmanship.” Gamesmanship is a term that is known throughout the world of sport yet very few know much about how it works. In psychoanalytic circles, gamesmanship refers to the mechanism of projective identification, which is an unconscious process whereby a person projects a part of themselves into another person, who becomes possessed by and controlled

by that emotional state. In sports that means an athlete who wins projects the weak, passive and shamed part of himself into his opponent, who will then become weak, ashamed and defeated. The process is unconscious but extremely potent and it occurs more often than most realize. Mohammed Ali always got into the mind of his opponent before a bout and so did Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was a competitive weight lifter. No doubt you have heard of Tiger Woods, but to meet him and fall

DR. TOM FERRARO Our Town

under his influence is another thing altogether. I met him many years ago when he was playing in the US Open at Bethpage. When he arrived for the interview, he was accompanied by a group of armed bodyguards to keep the crowds from mauling him. The presence of the guards is enough to intimidate anyone, and one immediately feels cowered, weak and small. This is projective identification in action and I would suggest this kind of thing happens all the time when a lesser known player is face-to-face with a super star. And the impact can last all day long or it can last a year or more. I worked with a tour play-

er who told me that the day he was paired with Arnold Palmer was unforgettable. I asked why and he told me that after they shook hands on the first tee, he immediately felt weak and his driver felt like it weighed 100 pounds. Or there was another local golfer who said that after he played golf with a long-hitting superstar, he lost his ability to hit the ball long for more than a year. Such is the power of projective identification. The term gaslighting is related to projective identification. The diﬀerence is that gaslighting is the intentional manipulation of another person to gain advantage over them, whereas projective identification is an unconscious process which accomplishes the same end, to gain power and control over another. As a sport psychologist, I see many athletes who have been victimized by projective identification. Often this occurs in middle school when they are bullied. The bully taunts and torments their victim and this experience can destroy a young person’s sense of confidence and power. They become possessed by the bully’s projections and the result is they feel weak, passive, and vulnerable. This damage often lies dormant until they enter the competitive sports world where the con-

frontation with an opponent triggers this memory, and they fall into a spell of weakness and anxiety once again. This process explains why some athletes feel so anxious when competing. The treatment that I use is a combination of talking about the past genesis of shame, helping them to gain insight about it, and then teaching them how to use the technique of projective identification themselves. Teaching someone to use projective identification is relatively easy to do. I use the metaphor of the alpha wolf in a wolf pact. The alpha wolf uses a combination of snarls, stares and posturing to intimidate any challengers to his reign. Real fighting for supremacy rarely takes place since that is not an evolutionarily healthy thing for any animal species. So, body language rules the day. It’s the same with humans. I teach them to behave with an air of superiority, with head held high, have their shoulders back and ignore the opponent rather than being nice and friendly. This attitude of the alpha wolf has the added benefit of helping the athlete to inhibit any anxiety that is felt during the competition. So, there is your free lesson in gamesmanship. If you want to play like Tiger Woods, act like Tiger Woods.

Earth Day 2022: What you can do to help

wo years ago, I wrote about Earth Day, which occurs every year on April 22 was the 50th anniversary and I wrote about the history of the event and things to do personally to help the earth. Lockdown for the COVID-19 pandemic had been in eﬀect for one month. Little did we know that two years in the future it would still be with us. Panic buying was in full swing for items like toilet paper, hand sanitizer and cleaning products. Surgical masks were in short supply, and N95s were practically non-existent, so homemade cloth ones were the fashion statement of the day. Now two years into the pandemic and approaching close to a million deaths in the US and over 6 million worldwide, a tragedy to families and communities all over the world, social schisms between those who follow science and the conspiracy wallowing deniers, closed businesses and economic disruption, there seems to be a glimpse of a future where Covid may not be beaten but lived with. But what has been the impact on the environment from the pandemic? The silver lining in the lockdown

was a huge drop in air pollution as car and airplane trips diminished or stopped. That has come back up as people went back to work in person and started to travel again. People spent more time in their gardens and walked to local parks and preserves to escape from the walls of home closing in and to get some fresh air. With almost no air traﬃc, cars or non-essential activities like landscaping, quiet prevailed. The sounds of nature were audible without the constant background hum of a busy metropolitan area. Birdwatching boomed as a hobby. Gardening became a big activity, as did bread baking. Drops in tourism gave the ecology of areas of natural beauty time to recover and the waste, electricity demand, sewage and other pollutants associated with tourism, reduced to near zero. This allowed even heavily polluted areas like the Grand Canal in Venice and the Ganges River in India to recover to levels of water purity unseen in decades. On the negative side for the environment, was a huge increase in medical waste, all types of PPE, and littering of items like masks and gloves. These items entangled birds and animals and

ended up in natural areas and waterbodies. Recycling rates dropped. Disinfectants were indiscriminately applied to indoor and outdoor surfaces, washing into nearby waterbodies and potentially harming creatures living there.For Earth Day 2022 the long laundry list of personal changes to make the earth a little greener from 2020 still holds true today. You can visit the oﬃcial Earth Day website for ideas, https://www.earth-

day.org/earth-day-2022/ and I’ll recap my top 20. 1. Use a 10% nitrogen 50% soluble fertilizer on your lawn and compost to feed your plants. 2. Add some clover to your lawn — it fixes nitrogen into the soil and feeds the grass. 3. Keep litter, leaves, clippings and runoﬀ water out of the street or it will end up in the Bay. 4. Observe watering restrictions, make sure sprinklers are not running oﬀ or hitting the road. 5. Make sure outdoor lighting doesn’t shine up, light pollution is a real thing. 6. Plant native flowers, grasses or trees, they require less water and fertilizer and sustain native birds and wildlife. The North Shore Audubon Society and Friends of Garvies Point Museum are holding their annual benefit Native plant sale. You can find the order form and lots of information here: https:// www.garviespointmuseum.com/nativeplant-sale.php 7. Try a vegetarian recipe. Switching to a plant-based diet is one of the top individual actions you can take to address climate change

8. Research joining a CSA this summer (Community Supported Agriculture) 9. Chose a Fair Trade, shade grown coﬀee 10. Turn heat down at night to 60 11. Only run full loads of laundry or dishes 12. Turn oﬀ water while brushing your teeth or washing dishes 13. Make sure your fridge, freezer, and dryer air vents are clean 14. Insulate accessible hot water pipes. The first 6 feet make the most difference. 15. Ask yourself, “Do I need this or just want it?” 16. Put up a bird feeder and learn to identify your backyard birds 17. Start a nature journal 18. Make a butterfly feeder; Mourning Cloaks, Cabbage Whites and Sulphurs have hatched 19. Take a walk around your yard or neighborhood, collect natural materials and make a collage 20. Make Earth Day every day! The survival of the planet depends on each one of us doing our part. We can all do better and if we don’t future generations will pay the price.

VIEW POINT

Unqualified judge eviscerates public health

35-year-old judge without any judicial experience appointed by lame-duck former President Trump and rushed through confirmation Senate hearings by Moscow Mitch McConnell despite being deemed “unqualified” by the ABA, voided the mask requirement on public transportation, including airports and airplanes overnight. She didn’t stay enforcement by 50 days as the CDC requested or pending appeal (routine for Trump cases). U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle in Tampa, Fla., continuing a pattern by the Trump “jurists” to set themselves up as a ruling body rather than a co-equal branch of government, found the CDC had gone too far by issuing a regulation that “acts on individuals directly” rather than just their “property interests.” “Since the mask mandate regulates an individual’s behavior — wearing a mask — it imposes directly on liberty interests,” she wrote in a case brought by the Health Freedom Defense Fund, a group claiming to focus on “bodily autonomy” as a human right (tell that to the states that are ending women’s reproductive rights, or the people who still have to take oﬀ shoes, belts or be X-rayed and probed by TSA). The CDC, she decided, had incorrectly described the mask mandate as a form of “sanitation” to justify its authority. “Wearing a mask cleans nothing,” she wrote. “At most, it traps virus droplets. But it neither ‘sanitizes’ the person wearing the mask nor ‘sanitizes’ the conveyance.” I learned of this in a tweet as I was

at Salt Lake City International Airport, crowded with travelers of all ages and abilities, on my way back to New York. We watched as a group of employees were informed they were no longer required to wear masks and immediately tore them oﬀ. I wondered, as I watched this huge mishmash of people crowded together (what’s social distancing?), literally at the crossroads of the world, and then jammed together inside Delta’s fully filled flight, how fast any variant or new infection could spread from any part of the world and through the entire world from this vector. Very few were wearing masks. Whole families with toddlers in strollers, old people in wheelchairs, were not wearing masks. Nor were the people hovering over me as we lined up to board and squeezed our way through the aisle to get to seats. And I wondered how many people might have chosen not to travel at all had they been aware in advance of the change in mask mandate, but they were trapped in this place, and how many will reconsider traveling this summer. Will other countries reimpose bans or restrictions on Americans coming through because we are now a danger to their entire society? Will international travelers consider America unsafe? (Prior to the pandemic, in 2019, international visitors spent $233.5 billion here, injecting $640 million a day into the U.S. economy.) What this ignoramus is saying “No” to is the whole concept of public health, to the ability of government – with their scientists, doctors and experts — to keep us safe from any health emergency. Meanwhile, COVID rates are again

KAREN RUBIN View Point

on the rise due to the Omnicron subvariant BA.2 after falling from the Omnicron surge. And yet, Republicans in Congress are holding up authorizing new spending to combat or contain the coronavirus with testing, vaccinations and treatment. Could it be that the Republicans are rooting for a new surge in COVID to depress the economy and maximize discontent and votes against Democrats in the midterms? Those who challenge the ability of government to mandate masks or workers to be vaccinated (in order to provide a safe work environment for workers and customers and not be an epicenter of new spread), are the same who still push to repeal the Aﬀordable Care Act – they see health care as a privilege, not a right. They also blocked legislation that would cut the cost of life-saving insulin from as much as $1,000 a month to $35, or allow Medicare to negotiate prices

with Big Pharma. President Biden, in contrast, has been working to expand health care and public health. His initiatives (and values) are incorporated into his budget. This is from a White House budget fact sheet: • Prepares for Future Pandemics and Other Biological Threats. The budget makes transformative investments in pandemic preparedness across the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)—$81.7 billion available over five years—to enable an agile, coordinated, and comprehensive public health response to protect American lives, families, and the economy. • Builds Advanced Public Health Systems and Capacity. The budget includes $9.9 billion to build capacity at CDC and state and local levels to improve the core immunization program, expand public health infrastructure in states and territories, strengthen the public health workforce, support eﬀorts to modernize public health data collection, increase capacity for forecasting and analyzing future outbreaks, including at the Center for Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics, and conduct studies on Long COVID to inform diagnosis and treatment options. • Transforms Mental Health Care. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated an existing mental health crisis. The budget proposes reforms to health coverage and invests in the behavioral health workforce. It provides sustained and increased funding for communitybased centers and clinics, and mental health staﬀ in schools, makes historic investments in youth mental health

and suicide prevention programs, and strengthens access to crisis services by building out the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and crisis services infrastructure. These resources will help build system capacity, connect more Americans to care, and create a system of support to improve mental health for all. • Advances Maternal Health and Health Equity. The U.S. has the highest maternal mortality rate among developed nations, with an unacceptably high mortality rate for Black and American Indian and Alaska Native women. The budget includes $470 million to reduce maternal mortality and morbidity rates, expand maternal health initiatives in rural communities, implement implicit bias training for healthcare providers, create pregnancy medical home projects, and address the highest rates of perinatal disparities. The Budget also expands maternal and other health initiatives in rural communities to improve access to high-quality care. • Accelerates Innovation through the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H). The budget proposes a major investment of $5 billion for ARPA-H, significantly increasing direct Federal research and development (R&D) spending in health. With an initial focus on cancer, diabetes and dementia, this major investment will drive transformational innovation in health technologies and speed the application and implementation of health breakthroughs. The contrast couldn’t be more stark or more dire. Which will you vote for? Pandemic or public health?

FROM THE DESK OF VINCENT BUTERA

An open letter from Vincent Butera

ear Manhasset Community, In May 2021 an article was published in the local press that brought a complaint by a former employee into the public domain. Months earlier, the complaint had been investigated, addressed, and closed by the Board of Education. It has always been my intent to demonstrate care and kindness in my personal and professional interactions. I was not aware that certain interactions that were part of my day-to-day responsibilities were perceived by a former employee as anything less than completely professional. Those who know me know that had I been made aware, I would have responded immediately and appropriately.

Due to the confidential nature of this personnel matter, the Board of Education and I were limited in our ability to comment when it was made public. This resulted in a very heated reaction in the school community. As the Board acknowledged in their public statement, some of that reaction was uninformed, and the resulting misinformation (or lack of information) only ignited further speculation. In response to the complaint, the Board hired an independent investigator to review the matter. At the conclusion of the investigation, the Board of Education — understanding all facets of the complaint — determined that disciplinary action was not warranted, and the matter was appropriately closed. As the Board has stated publicly,

VINCENT BUTERA this was the “right decision.” During the investigation and afterwards, the Board and I learned that there were

individuals actively seeking to leak information to the media. The story was indeed published 8 months later. I must admit that it is surreal to have a reputation — as a professional, as a husband, and as a father — subjected to this degree of calumny. Despite this experience, it has been a privilege to serve as Manhasset’s Superintendent of Schools and to work with you, guided by a strong belief that every child is deserving of opportunities, expectations, and support in an environment where they feel a sense of connection and belonging. I want to express how grateful I am for the outpouring of support from so many in the community, as well as current and former colleagues over these past unfortunate months, including one young student who last May reached out to share her belief

in me and to urge me to keep fighting and to never quit. Words cannot adequately express how much your kindness and support during this diﬃcult time has meant to me and my family. The past several years have shown each of us that every so often the universe sends us a message that life is sometimes hard and unfair, yet the only thing we control is how we respond and what we learn from these moments. While there are many challenges that lie ahead, may our willingness to engage in a dialogue of understanding and care make this a time of resilience, healing, and personal growth for all. And to that one young student who implored me back in May to never quit, please know I have not.

Law sought to combat catalytic converter thefts

atalytic converter thefts have been on the rise in Nassau County and across the country due to the value of the metals within the devices and the ease with which a thief can remove one. If a catalytic converter is stolen from your car, it may cost thousands of dollars to replace the part and repair the damage. Moreover, due to supply chain issues, it may take a considerable period of time to complete the repairs. Recently, I joined with my colleagues and Police Commissioner Ryder to introduce new legislation that will preclude scrap metal

dealers in Nassau County from purchasing catalytic converters unless the seller establishes that they legally acquired the device. The scrap metal dealers will be required to keep records regarding purchases, which must be made available to NCPD and the Department of Consumer Affairs, allowing them to inspect those records to flag any illegal activity and go after the perpetrator. The cost to replace a catalytic converter can be anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000 and experienced thieves can crawl under your car, cut out the catalytic converter, and be gone in under two minutes. The

RICHARD NICOLELLO Presiding Officer

car will still run without a catalytic converter, but it will not be able to pass a yearly inspection. What thieves are really after are precious metals found in catalytic converters such as platinum, palladium, or rhodium, which make them valuable to scrap metal businesses and more prone to theft. To further help strengthen its effectiveness the Legislative Majority is also contacting government in Suffolk County and NYC to coordinate a region-wide approach to combat these thefts. Having unified support in the surrounding area will further deter thieves since it will make it more difficult

for them to profit from these illegal acts. The bill will go through the required Legislative Committees and the full Legislature in May where it is expected to pass and be signed into law by County Executive Bruce Blakeman. Always remember, if you “see something, say something.” Should you notice a suspicious person or vehicle in your neighborhood or when you are out and about, dial 9-1-1 and be ready to provide the police with as much information as possible. License plate numbers are extremely valuable for the police if you can capture that information.

pril 15th marked the 75th anniversary of Jackie Robinson playing his first Major League Baseball game for the Brooklyn Dodgers. It was a milestone for integrating the sport. It was a time when working and middle-class men and woman of all ages, classes, races and religions commingled in the stands rooting for Jackie Robinson and his teammates regardless of ethnic origin game after game. Ordinary Brooklyn natives could ride the bus, trolley or subway to Ebbets Field to see their beloved Dodgers. Everyone could aﬀord a bleacher, general admission, reserve or box seat.

Hot dogs, beer, other refreshments and souvenirs were reasonably priced. Just as Jackie Robinson fought racism in the 1950s, the Detroit Tigers’ Hank Greenberg had to do the same with antisemitism in his time. Robinson and Greenberg both document the long-lasting relationship between African-Americans and Jewish sports fans standing together for decades in support of each other.

Disagreeing without being disagreeable

hy are our disagreements so disagreeable? Why does it seem so difficult to find common ground? Why can’t we see that our similarities are greater than our differences? Don’t we all start each day seeking good health, economic security, and continued growth as human beings for our family, neighbors, and community members? And don’t we agree that we have these opportunities because we live in a nation based on the rule of law and a Constitutional order that not only guarantees certain rights but also contains the means by which we, the people, can create a more perfect union? Because I believe in this nation and these principles, I am increasingly concerned by efforts to substitute political for expert judgments in public health, to ban celebrated and historic books because of the ideas expressed, and to deny historical facts like slavery and the Holocaust because they run counter to a preferred narrative. What can we do to create more robust but civil discussions about policies, ideas, and history? The youth development organization, Global Kids, Inc., uses one approach and may show the way. Founded in 1989 and based in New York City and Washington, D.C., GK serves students in some of the most under-resourced public schools. It teaches leadership

and research skills through classroom-based learning, the arts, and community participation in order to prepare students to become college-ready and active citizens. Because GK brings together youth from diverse backgrounds, it developed a set of guidelines to promote robust but civil discourse. These guidelines include “One Mic’”, “Safe Space,” “Participation,” and “Think Globally and Act Locally and Globally.” “One mic’” means that one person speaks at a time. They do not shout over each other. They value other voices. They listen respectfully to what is being said instead of waiting impatiently to rebut what another is saying. They eschew ad hominem statements and critique the ideas not the person. “Safe space” means that ideas can be expressed without fear of retribution or vicious reaction. It is a space that is safe “for” exploring ideas, not safe “from” new thoughts. It does not mean a space where individuals are guaranteed protection from uncomfortable ideas. A safe space is one in which ideas can be explored, books discussed and policies debated with freedom of thought and speech. “Participation” means that everyone is expected to contribute to the fulfillment of the exercise, the task, the program. It is the responsibility of each person to prepare carefully, participate actively and be a partner in

achieving a new level of accomplishment or agreement. Participation is the act by which the individual becomes part of the community. “Thinking globally and acting locally” means that we can learn from others, even those in other countries, and that we should use this knowledge in our local activities. With the guidance of this principle, young people have learned what other countries do about topics such as healthcare policy, gun control, housing and nutrition, and race relations. Other topics include immigration, economic justice, policing, voting, and schooling, among others. They then can discuss these issues with more knowledge and a larger context. If these principles and guidelines can be employed successfully, and over time, by high school youth, why can’t we adopt them for Congress, school boards, and other public and private settings? Let young people show the way to learning how to discuss and disagree without being disagreeable. Dr. Robert A. Scott President Emeritus, Adelphi University *Dr. Scott is married to the founder of Global Kids, Inc., Carole Artigiani Letters Continued on Page 22

BOE hopeful would bring Florida to G.N.

candidate in the May election for the Board of Education in Great Neck is Emil Hakimi, who, in an online chat expressed disrespect for the rule of law. This makes him unsuitable to be a school trustee. That’s too bad: It rules out a healthy public discourse among candidates. Most candidates want to join a team of people working on behalf of children, on behalf of all of us. Hakimi seems, by his own description, a person who would do away with what we know as the balanced approach our school trustees bring to their tasks. He asserts, for example, that the only children he is interested in are his own. He writes: “Do you support mask mandates in our schools? If so, you are attacking my children.” He also writes: “…we have like 10 people in Great Neck who are loud and obnoxious” who support maskwearing and “they [are] the ones setting policy.” His “10” is short-hand for dismissing the rest of us in a community of 40,000. His “loud and obnoxious” at public meetings actually oppose

masks. He aims “the ones setting policy” at the school board. New York state sets policy on masking, but he targets the school board anyway. He joins the newly elected Nassau County executive to “defy NYS.” He adds: “Similar to how Florida defies Biden”… “we are gonna turn Great Neck into our little slice of Florida.” He suggests “disobedience” to the Department of Health of New York State. His disdain for science puts the health of all of us at risk, and not just from COVID-19. Hakimi threatened the school board that it will “change its tune” when “3,000 to 4,000” voters turn out to vote for him. He is not in the arena of advocacy for education, so he is not speaking about massive support from the parent body of public schoolchildren. He is speaking about votes from religious congregations. Something has been happening here on our peninsula and on pain of a fervent denunciation no one is supposed to tell: Candidates and their proxies are soliciting votes and absentee ballots in houses of worship. This ballot gathering is a problem for congregations and clergy: Houses

of worship jeopardize their non-profit status by allowing politics to pollute their hallowed halls. The rabbis in my synagogue of old would never have tolerated such a compromise on the sanctity of G-d’s house. A wall separates church and state, Thomas Jeﬀerson wrote, and this is core to our country. The two realms, spiritual and temporal, are distinct or should be. Hakimi is not alone in mistaking religion as the servant of politics. Pedram Bral, mayor of the Village of Great Neck, in a videotaped speech at Chabad following the November 2021 election, promised the coming of a political “bloodbath.” While Bral and Company invariably find comfort in negativity, families in Great Neck recognize that we derive our prosperity from the renown of our enviable institutions, our public schools, our library, our parks, our volunteer fire companies. The value of our homes, a primary financial investment, resides with these institutions that serve us. Damage our institutions and we damage ourselves. Bral set the standard with his se-

cret conclaves with developers and his public complaints against practically every institution spending our taxes to maintain what we treasure and want to preserve about living here. Some residents devalue our community and are intent on setting fire to it. They light a match to burn our institutions and claim it is their freedom to do so. They blame our teachers for revisiting our country’s checkered history on equality. They blame our library for harboring books they can’t wait to burn, books that belong in a society open and welcoming. Most of all they blame Democrats, who bear witness, who sound the alarm. If they can destroy the Democrats, the fire will rage on. It used to be we could count on Republicans as well to stand for our Constitution, but the Republican Party abandoned its principles. If they succeed in taking away someone else’s freedom, their freedom will be next, along with mine and yours. Listen and hear what they say. They swarm around us with endless repetitions of bogus topics: Immigration is a threat, they say (though

we are a nation of nothing but immigrants); Heed what is coming, they say, murders on our doorsteps (as though we live on a street in the Ukraine). Each fiction appeals to fear and prejudice. The general public knows nothing about bail, so they weaponize bail and call for its “reform.” It’s all a distraction. Their true goal is to have you vote for them, so they have the power to contaminate and degrade the definition of justice. Spreading lies and making fights is a way of life for those who have no interest in American democracy. They represent only destruction. It is up to us to stand in their way. Going forward through 2022, watch out for people who want to topple rather than support. The school vote is in May, the library in October, the midterm statewide election in November, and the park district in December. Add your vote to mine.

YOUR GUIDE TO THE ARTS, ENTERTAINMENT AND DINING

NORTH SHORE MARITIME HISTORY BY CELL PHONE Long Island Traditions is proud to announce the North Shore Maritime Back Story cell phone tour, a selfguided audio tour through the TravelStorys app. This tour highlights the many important traditional and contemporary cultural landmarks of New York State. Using the TravelStorys app, listeners can discover the histories and communities of Long Island’s North Shore. Audio stories automatically begin as you approach the site, with each site corresponding with significant cultural landmarks. Photographs and text associated with each story also accompany the story sites. These tour stops feature narratives from baymen, cottage owners, tugboat captains, water taxi workers and boatyard owners in Port Jefferson, Stony Brook, Oyster Bay, and Port Washington. The North Shore Maritime Back Story Tour begins at the Bayles Boat Yard, now the Village Center in Port Jefferson. The Village Center is a restored shipyard building, with volunteer efforts to restore boats by the Long Island Sound Eco Center. The group started in 2006 when the shop was built. At the Bayles Boat Shop, hear from Charles Kenny, one of the volunteers. “I’ve been part of [building] 12 or 13 vessels at this point,” says Kenny, “We’ve been operating this program for 12 years. We always have one or two boats [projects] going on at any one time… A restoration project generally involves many surprises. You have to understand what the builder was thinking. Why he fashioned pieces a certain way, even if you have a set of drawings or plans, frequently a builder will utilize different approaches which are not depicted in the plans or drawings. It is a lot of fun, it’s detective work.” The next stop is West Meadow Beach in Stony Brook. Here, you will hear from Marge Miller, the owner of one of a hundred bungalows that

once stood there. The cottages were built between the 1920s and 1950s until being removed under a 2004 state law. They were designed to stay cool in the summer. It was kind of rustic and pretty because the partitions were wide paneling, which had been rubbed with a gray green of sort of kind of in it. It made a soft cottagey look, you know friendly,” remembers Miller.West of Stony Brook is Knutson’s Boat Yard, located in Halesite. Knutson’s Boat Yard is one of the oldest working boatyards on Long Island. Dan Knutson, the yard’s manager, tells of his family’s history working the yard. “My grandfather was Thomas Knutson, his original name was Torkel Knutson. He came here from Norway and changed his name when he came through Ellis Island to Thomas because it made

it easier for people to understand and assimilate,” says Knutson, “My grandfather came here with nothing; he was 17 in 1900. He established himself as a man who worked with his hands, a great ship’s carpenter. Some of the boatyards in the Bronx and some other shipyards. He became a supervisor and a yard foreman…To think how wonderful this yard was and she still is. It’s something I do enjoy and I am very proud of.”Oyster Bay is one of the oldest working harbors on Long Island, known for shellfish such as clams and oysters. Here, you will listen to narratives from Bill Painter and Bill Fetzer, local baymen and advocates for the North Oyster Bay Baymen’s Association. “We try to help whoever we can help,” says Painter, “We do charity work, helping the seed program that we run, buy-

ing equipment, buying clam seed, oyster seed. Our biggest festival is the Oyster Fest in Oyster Bay once a year, and we raised the most money at that at that event.” Fetzer describes life on the water as a bayman: “I see things that people will never see like a bald eagle over my head. Or you feel like someone’s watching you. Next thing you know you have a seal working the area that you’re churning up with your rig. I mean, how cool is that?”The final two stops are in Port Washington. Along the Port Washington North Bay Walk Park trail stands the Bay Star tugboat. Frank Scobbo, owner of the tugboat, grew up in Port Washington and learned early on the critical skills needed to operate a tugboat. Here, he shares his experiences growing up, receiving his commer-

cial license, and navigating New York Harbor’s channels. Scobbo recalls the first time he was on a tugboat: “The first time I was on a tug, 2006 I was on a Buchanan boat with one of our captains 2007. And I loved it. Having been exposed to the recreational towing vessel, the assist vessels, like Sea Tow, Tow Boat, things of that nature I was exposed a little bit to that. And that was very fascinating. Because sometimes people call you when the weather wasn’t great, or they called you when they had a dead battery, and I would ride with my brother-inlaw and experience that. It was a lot of fun.”The final tour stop is the Town Dock of Port Washington. This dock is the home of the Port Washington Taxi, a water taxi for harbor tours or ferrying. Matt Meyran, the founder of the water taxi, tells his story of his boating career. “We were water rats,” says Meyran, “We were on the water all the time…I was on a boat from the time I was 4, driving the boat.” Bill Rooney shares his experiences a water taxi captain, ferrying passengers from all over the world. “The job of the water taxi is very interesting,” says Rooney, “Because it’s not just a taxi, we do tours. The taxi service, you don’t spend much time with the person, we’re just bringing them from a restaurant to the dock or from a restaurant to another restaurant, or from the dock to their boat, or from their boat to a restaurant. And you don’t get a lot of time with the people. But on the tours, you get a minimum of a half an hour, sometimes an hour, sometimes longer. And the conversations flow.”You can explore each stop on the North Shore Maritime Back Story Tour by downloading the TravelStorys GPS app, or by visiting the site here: https://travelstorys.com/. TravelStorys is free and compatible with all cell phones. This tour is curated by Nancy Solomon, and made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts and the Robert Lion Gardiner Foundation.

‘Squirrel screams and Other Dating Sounds’ The Madison Theatre presents this new work at the Hayes Theatre at Molloy Col-

lege. In a world where you swipe to hookup and ghost to end a relationship, find-

Molloy presents ‘In The Heights’

ing something meaningful or even just normal is nearly impossible. “Squirrel Screams and Other Dating Sounds” follows loud, hard-edged Bridgie and quirky, buttoned-up Kate as they navigate the NYC dating landscape in an attempt to find someone in the parade of 10 guys that pass through their midtown bar.

In the Heights tells the universal story of a vibrant community in New York’s Washington Heights neighborhood – a place where the coffee from the corner bodega is light and sweet, the windows are always open and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music. It’s a community on the brink of change, full of hopes, dreams and pressures, where the biggest struggles can be deciding which traditions you take with you, and which ones you leave behind. The Madison Theatre at Molloy College, Rockville Centre

Madison Theatre presents: ‘Carousel, a Concert’ Billy Bigelow, a swaggering, carefree carnival barker, falls in love with and marries the sweet but naive Julie Jordan. A stunning tale of hope, redemption, and the power of love. Richard Rodgers once wrote that of all the musicals he wrote, Carousel was his personal favorite. This American classic feature some of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s most iconic pieces, including “If I Loved You”, “Mister Snow”, “June Is Bustin Out All Over”, and the iconic “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” “Carousel” was Rodgers and Hammerstein’s second collaboration, and was adapted from Ferenc Molnar’s 1909 play Liliom. They transferred the Budapest setting of Liliom to the New England coastline, where “Carousel” takes place. The story tells of roguish carnival barker Billy Bigelow and millworker Julie Jordan, both loners, who meet and fall in love. Their marriage ends up costing both their jobs, and things go downhill from

there. Billy’s desperation makes him violent against those he loves most and drives him to commit crimes in order to provide for his family. When Billy falls in with con-man Jigger Craigin, he ends up getting caught in the midst of an armed robbery and takes his own life. Billy is allowed to return to earth for one day 15 years later, and he encounters the daughter he never knew. Louise is a lonely, friendless teenager, her father’s reputation having haunted her throughout her young life. Yet Billy is able to instill in both the child and her mother a sense of hope. Voted the best musical of the 20th century by Time Magazine, Rodger’s and Hammerstein’s Carousel is the classic American musical, spanning heaven and earth in its exploration of human frailty, resilience, and the power of forgiveness.

with the previous year. Whenever there is a separation or divorce, there is no way around the fact that your children will be impacted in profound ways. And, while divorce doesn’t have the same stigma it did years ago, it still is a diﬃcult event in a young person’s life. The dissolution of their parents’ marriage can create enormous stress for youngsters. Divorce can be devastating to the children’s feelings of safety, causing fear of abandonment and fear of losing a parent’s love. The result: Anxiety, depression and low self-esteem are common. Guilt is often another problem, as many children blame themselves for the divorce, believing that it is somehow their fault and that if they had just been “good,” the separation never would have happened. In addition, many parents make the mistake of talking negatively about their exspouse in front of their children. This upsets them because they see their parents as their caretakers, and they need to feel safe and supported by both of them. When parents put their kids in the middle of their battles, the children struggle with issues of loyalty. Even if they are very caring parents, they may do things inadvertently that cause distress to their child, such as asking the child to talk with the ex-spouse about a change in weekend plans instead of dealing with the adult directly. Here are some tips on how to help your children deal with divorce: • Be supportive, reassuring your kids that both of you will always love them and be there for them.

• Encourage them to speak to you openly about all their feelings, and validate that those feelings are normal and completely acceptable. • Learn how to co-parent the children so there is no confusion on discipline. Rules about bedtime, homework and the like should remain consistent. • Never talk negatively about the other parent in front of the children. • If possible, show a united front by attending events like back-to-school nights, games and other activities together. • Let their teachers know about your separation so they are on the lookout for any troubling behaviors from your children. • Foster the relationships your children have with your ex’s family so they don’t feel the loss of those attachments. • Consider placing your child in a therapeutic group so they don’t feel like they are alone in their experience. Many schools have programs like “Banana Splits” oﬀered by school-based social workers. • Be sure to get support for yourself through this process through friends, family members and professional therapy, if needed. Remember, the post-divorce relationship with your ex-spouse is perhaps the most important factor in how well your children handle the matter, so do your best to get along for their sake. Knowing that they are loved no matter what by both of you is the most important message. During the pandemic, North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center is seeing clients both in person and remotely via a telehealth platform.

Weightlifting tips for beginners //////////////////////

trength training is a vital component of an effective exercise regimen. Guidelines from the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion recommend adults include moderate- to high-intensity strength training activities in their workout regimens at least twice per week. Individuals with little weightlifting experience may not recognize the value of strength training, which is often associated with building as much muscle as possible. Though strength training helps build muscle, it’s also a great way to burn fat. Muscle increases resting metabolic rate, which means individuals who engage in strength training will burn more fat during rest than they would if they did not include such exercise in their workout regimens. Stronger muscles also provide more support to bones and connective tissues, which reduces injury risk. That’s an especially important benefit for aging men and women. As valuable as strength training is, it’s imperative that individuals approach weightlifting and other strenth-building exercises with a measure of caution. Improper form or going too hard too soon can increase injury risk. Beginners can heed these tips as they acclimate to strength training. Work with a personal trainer. Proper form is imperative to avoiding injury while strength training, and personal trainers can guide individuals through an assortment of exercises to make sure they’re performing them correctly. If a long-term commitment to a personal trainer is beyond your financial means, find a trainer with limited commitment packages or one who lets clients pay on a session-by-session basis. Many fitness facilities include one or two free personal trainer consultations for new members, so take advantage of these opportunities when they’re offered. If you plan to work out at home, ask a friend with weightlifting experience to show you the correct form or watch online tutorials. Begin with light weight. Beginners should avoid reaching for the heaviest dumbbells on the rack. Mastering form is vital at the beginning stages of a new strength training program, so go for lighter weights and gradually add weight as your body acclimates. If you find yourself completing a set without much effort, you can add a little more weight. But start with light weight and build from there.

Warm up with some light cardio prior to lifting any weight. The fitness experts at Gold’s Gym note that some light warmup prior to a strength training workout increases range of motion, decreases injury risk and contributes to more permanent change in muscles. Keep warmup sessions to between five and 10 minutes, opting for anything from a lowintensity jog on a treadmill or session on an elliptical. After warming up, perform some stretches that target the muscles you’ll be focusing on during your workout. A trainer or online tutorial can be good sources of stretches to perform before working out a particular muscle group. Recognize the need for recovery. Rest and recovery is vital for any athlete, and that includes strength training beginners who are not yet lifting a lot of weight. Rest helps to build lean muscle tissue and prevents injuries. When planning a strength training regimen, ensure muscles get adequate rest by never working out the same muscle groups on consecutive days. Strength training beginners should take things slowly and gradually change their routines as their bodies become more acclimated to exercises designed to make them stronger.

itness professionals recognize the importance of a well-balanced workout. Much like a diet that includes foods from each of the major food groups can provide the balance of nutrients and vitamins bodies need to achieve optimal health, a workout routine that includes an assortment of strength and cardiovascular exercises is the recipe for a fit and healthy body. Core exercises are a vital component of a well-rounded workout. Core exercises can help individuals build sculpted abdominal muscles, and while that’s a goal for many core devotees, the benefits of core exercises extend well beyond the cosmetic. Build a strong, healthy back: The International Association For the Study of Pain reports that lower back pain has been the leading cause of years lived with disability across the globe since 1990. Lower back pain can be debilitating, but core exercises strengthen muscles in the core, including those in the back. The Mayo Clinic notes that core exercises train muscles in the pelvis, lower back, hips, and abdomen to work together, creating greater balance and stability and contributing to a healthy back. Make daily life easier: Individuals may not realize it, but their cores play a vital role in performing a great number of daily tasks. Core muscles are activated when

doing everything from taking out the trash to getting dressed. If those muscles are weak, the cumulative effect of that weakness can add up and contribute to aches, pains and other health problems. Strong core muscles make daily tasks easier and less taxing on the body, providing both short- and long-term benefits. Become a better athlete: Core training has long been a key component of professional athletes’ exercise regimens, and it’s just as beneficial to amateur athletes as well. The Harvard Medical School notes that a strong core powers a host of athletic activities, including golf, tennis, cycling, running, swimming, and team sports like baseball and volleyball. A strong core also benefits outdoor enthusiasts who love to kayak and hike difficult terrain. Sculpt abdominals: The cosmetic benefits of building a strong core should not be overlooked, as individuals might gain additional motivation to keep exercising and eating right when they see desirable results in the mirror. Core exercises strengthen and sculpt abdominal muscles, creating a win-win situation for anyone who wants to get healthy and look good doing it. Core exercises are vital to building a healthier, stronger body.

30 MOTHER’S DAY GIFT & DINING GUIDE • Blank Slate Media Newspapers, Friday, April 29, 2022

Unique Mother’s Day gift ideas Mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers, and many more remarkable women often work tirelessly and without fanfare to provide for their families. Even though they may deserve to be recognized throughout the year, moms enjoy a special day nestled within the month of May when children, spouses and others celebrate Mother’s Day. Many people give heartfelt gifts on Mother’s Day to express their love for the mothers in their lives. The perfect gift may focus on Mom’s interests and the things that make her truly happy. With that in mind, the following shopping tips can help anyone find the perfect Mother’s Day gift. · Explore spa packages. What mother won’t benefit from some rest and relaxation with a little pampering thrown in? Salons and massage therapists typically put together Mother’s Day packages that cater to mothers. Packages may include massages, facials, hair treatments, manicures, and pedicures. Gift-givers can customize the services depending on their budgets. · Dining out can be a treat. A meal at a favorite restaurant can be a welcome change from kitchen duty. Mother’s Day is a busy day for restaurants, many of which have limited menus to better handle the crowds. As a result, if dining out on Mother’s Day, Mom may not get the full menu she desires. To ensure mothers have full menus at their disposal, gift givers can cook a

Gifts for

meal at home on Mother’s Day and then choose another day of the week to enjoy a meal in an upscale restaurant. · Schedule a paint and sip. A paint and sip session is a unique gift. A session is typically two hours and includes step-by-step instructions. Patrons are encouraged to bring snacks and their favorite beverages. With the right planning, wellintentioned children can turn the evening into a “ladies night out” and encourage other moms to join in the fun. Or the entire family can paint masterpieces together. · Give tickets to a show or sporting event. Whether Mom is a sports fan or she prefers the theater or live music, event tickets can make a wonderful gift. Unique gift ideas include tickets to Cirque du Soleil, Shen Yun or a Broadway play. · Give the gift of wine tasting. Wineries can be found across the country and frequently open their doors to wine tastings and wine pairing events. A Mother’s Day wine tasting can be special for the entire family and support local businesses. Check the vineyard’s rules on guests. Many times those under 21 can attend but will not be permitted to consume wine, though other refreshments may be available. Mother’s Day oﬀers the perfect opportunity to lavish attention on special women. Gifts that cater to Mom’s interests will make the biggest splash.

Make Mother’s Day special Each and every day a new woman becomes a mother for the first time or all over again. Being a mother changes a person’s life in dramatic ways. Mother’s Day is a great time of year to honor mothers and attempt to give back just a portion of the tireless love and devotion moms oﬀer their children. Some children provide large gestures, while others feel it’s the little things that can help a mom to feel appreciated. For those needing a little inspiration on treating their mothers in special ways, consider these ideas.

· Treat mom to a day oﬀ from her chores. Tackle all of the jobs she normally does for the family. · Bake a delicious dessert that mom will absolutely devour. · Pamper mom with a gift card for her favorite nail salon or massage therapy location.

· Make mom a breakfast in bed with her favorite morning treats.

· Prepare a jar of mom’s favorite candies wrapped in pieces of paper that have loving sentiments written on them.

· Enjoy a movie at home with mom. Let her pick the flick and share her favorite film with you.

· Compile a playlist of songs and artists mom prefers and download them to her phone.

· Agree to not bicker for the entire day, especially if you are prone to getting into arguments with siblings. · Put together a collage of photos from moments you have shared with mom or your family. · Cook a meal together and learn about everyone’s favorite recipes or the family history. · Give her a locket with your photo inside and have a duplicate you can wear containing her photo. · Customize a coﬀee mug, tote bag or a blanket with a meaningful sentiment or photo.

· Begin a charm bracelet tradition by purchasing a charm bracelet and a new charm each year that represents a meaningful memory you both shared. · Write a new email each day with an inspirational quote or special words of love for mom. · Tackle a task that she may not want to do herself, such as washing the exterior of her car and vacuuming the interior. Mother’s Day gift ideas should come from the heart and can show mothers near and far how much they are appreciated and loved.

How non-traditional families can celebrate Mother’s Day No two families are the same. What may be “normal” for one family could be quite unique to another. Because families are so diﬀerent, days such as Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Grandparent’s Day, and even days devoted to siblings or cousins present opportunities for families to celebrate diversity while honoring their family members.

Branch out to many caregivers Certainly a person becomes a mother if she has given birth to a child. But motherhood is a much broader concept. Many women are mothers to children with whom they have little to no biological connection. Some may be relatives that filled the void left by a mother who passed away or was unable to care for children. Anyone who has stepped into the role of caretaker can and should be celebrated on Mother’s Day.

Recognizing stepmothers The notion of the “evil stepmother” in fairy tales is inaccurate. Many children have very close relationships with their stepmothers - even retaining relationships should the stepmother divorce out of the family. Modern families even include strong connections between stepmothers and biological mothers, with each doing her part to make sure children are getting the love and support they need.

Same-sex relationships Families continue to evolve and same-sex couples are raising children. Among married same-sex couples, 18.9 percent of the households have children under age 18. These non-traditional families can be creative as they navigate holidays like Mother’s Day or Father’s Day. One way to do so is to celebrate one parent on Mother’s Day and the other on Father’s Day. However, families also can remove gender labels and celebrate both days as Parents Day, casting love and aﬀection on caregivers however they see fit. Absent but not forgotten Some mothers are not present in children’s lives for various reasons. These can include death, incarceration, illness, military deployment, or enrollment in a rehabilitation program. Mother’s Day can be a time of mixed emotions for individuals whose moms are not present, and families can work together to find ways to celebrate. This may be visiting the cemetery to pay respects or sending a letter to express one’s feelings. Individuals also can recognize those people who act as surrogate mothers, including special friends or coworkers who always listen and oﬀer advice. Mother’s Day can be recognized with flexibility and creativity within non-traditional families.

Surprise mom with a special dessert in her honor

Mothers selflessly devote themselves to their children from infancy into adulthood. A mother’s love never wanes, and she’s always ready and willing to step in and put her children first.

Mother’s Day is a great chance for men, women and children to honor the special women in their lives. Delicious homemade treats can show mothers just how much they’re appreciated and adored.

Warning signs that you’re working out too much //////////////////////

outine exercise is an important component of a healthy lifestyle. Significant exercise benefits all parts of the body, including the heart. In fact, the American Heart Association urges individuals to heed exercise recommendations from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. Those guidelines indicate that adults should get at least 150 minutes per week of moderateintensity aerobic activity (or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity) and pair it with moderate- to high-intensity strength training activities at least twice per week. Many individuals have no problem taking that advice to heart, and some even go above and beyond. While exceeding exercise guidelines isn’t necessarily detrimental to individuals’ overall health, that doesn’t mean it’s not important to be careful and incorporate routine days of rest into a workout regimen. Devoted athletes may find it hard to know when to step back and take a breather. In such instances, learning the warning signs for fitness fatigue can be invaluable. Routine breaks give muscles time to heal, which can improve performance and reduce injury risk. The National Library of Medicine notes that these are some common signs of fitness fatigue.

• An inability to perform at the same level • Needing longer periods of rest • Feeling tired • Depression, which can include feelings of sadness, tearfulness, emptiness, or hopelessness • Mood swings or irritability • Difficulty sleeping • Muscle soreness or a feeling that limbs are heavy • The presence of overuse injuries, which include shoulder impingement, tennis elbow and stress fractures • Loss of motivation • More frequent colds • Unexplained weight loss • Anxiety Individuals who want to keep going in the face of fitness fatigue should remind themselves of why they exercise. Various factors motivate people to exercise regularly, but that motivation is often rooted in a desire to be as healthy as possible. Overdoing it compromises individuals’ physical and mental health, which underscores the importance of rest and how it’s vital to a successful workout regimen.

How to navigate the confusion around stretching

//////////////////////

itness and health care professionals generally agree that stretching is an important component of an effective workout regimen. However, there remains some confusion as to when to stretch and which stretches athletes should perform to maintain optimal health and flexibility. For example, Harvard Medical School notes that stretching was once believed necessary to warm up muscles and prepare them for activity. However, the Mayo Clinic now notes that stretching should not be considered a warmup activity. Rather, the general consensus among health care professionals is that individuals should first warm up their bodies for five to 10 minutes with some light exercise, such as low-intensity walking or jogging. In addition, the Mayo Clinic notes that some research has suggested that pre-event

stretching adversely affects athletes’ performance. That may be a concern for competitive athletes and can add to the confusion non-competitive fitness enthusiasts have about the importance of stretching. Individuals who exercise to improve their overall health can stretch after their five- to 10-minute warmup and then again after completing their cardio and strength training. Competitive athletes can consult their coaches and trainers about when to stretch and which stretches to perform. When stretching, all people, including competitive athletes and individuals who exercise as part of their health care routines, should focus on proper form. Numerous online tutorials indicate how to stretch the various muscle groups in a way that improves flexibility and decreases injury risk.

Factors that can adversely aﬀect mood //////////////////////

N Strategies to lose weight safely //////////////////////

he struggle millions of individuals experience in regard to maintaining a healthy weight has led public health agencies to characterize overweight and obesity as a major public health crisis. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, nearly one in three adults in the United States are overweight, while more than 40 percent are considered obese. Data from Statistics Canada indicates individuals also are struggling with their weight in Canada, where nearly 27 percent of adults can be classified as obese and more than 36 percent are classified as overweight. With so many adults in North America classified as overweight or obese, it’s no wonder that fad diets and additional programs to lose weight are so easy to find. Individuals who are overweight or obese should aspire to lose weight, as doing so can lower their risk for various conditions, including some which can be deadly, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. But it’s vital that individuals lose weight in a safe way that gives them the best chance to keep weight off. In recognition of that, the U.S. Department of Agriculture offers these tips to lose weight safely. Recognize what makes up a healthy weight loss program. Individuals have all sorts of options that promise to help them lose weight, but that doesn’t mean each of those options is safe and/or effective. For example, the American Academy of Family Physicians notes that the typical fad diet is unhealthy and does not result in sustainable weight loss. Some such diets can even be dangerous to your overall health. The USDA describes healthy weight loss programs as those that consist of reasonable and realistic weight loss goals. A reduced-calorie, nutritionallybalanced eating plan is another feature of a healthy weight loss program. Such

programs also should encourage routine physical activity and a plan to help people change their behaviors so they can stay on track and meet their goals. Know what to expect out of a healthy meal. The USDA notes that calories, portion sizes and nutrition all combine to make a healthy meal. Avoid high-calorie meals by limiting portion sizes. The online health resource Verywell Fit offers a useful breakdown that can help people determine healthy portion sizes: • 1 palm: a serving of protein • 1 fist: a serving of vegetables • 1 thumb: a serving of fats • 1 cupped hand: a serving of carbs This breakdown can act as a guideline for individuals, who also can discuss appropriate portion sizes with their physicians or a licensed dietician. Change your lifestyle, not just your diet. A successful weight loss strategy will help individuals develop lifestyle habits that help them maintain healthy weights. Fad diets and other quick fixes only provide short-term weight loss, and the USDA urges individuals to avoid programs that they “go on” and “go off” at predetermined intervals. Long-term, healthy weight loss is achieved by changing one’s lifestyle, which requires a permanent commitment to physical activity and healthy eating. A significant percentage of adults in both the United States and Canada is considered overweight or obese.When attempting to lose weight, those individuals can look to a comprehensive approach rooted in healthy eating and routine exercise that can help them shed pounds and keep those pounds off for good.

o one is immune to the occasional bad mood. A bad mood can make a difficult day feel even more so, and multiple-person households can become uncomfortable places to be if one person’s mood is less than welcoming. Bad moods can be easy to shrug off, and that may not inspire people to wonder why their generally upbeat outlooks can suddenly take a turn for the worse. Each person is different, so what triggers a mood swing in some individuals may not necessarily do so in others. However, various factors can adversely affect mood. Taking steps to avoid or

minimize such factors can reduce the number of days when you feel as though you woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Lack of physical activity: A 2019 study from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that running for 15 minutes a day or walking for an hour reduces the risk of major depression. That link is likely connected to the release of endorphins triggered by exercise. Endorphins are hormones that studies have shown contribute to a general feeling of well-being, which explains why a lack of physical activity can adversely affect mood.

Chronic stress: Chronic stress has long been linked to a host of health problems. According to the Mayo Clinic, chronic stress puts individuals at increased risk for heart disease and weight gain but also issues that affect mood, including anxiety and depression. Individuals who find themselves routinely confronting bad moods may be dealing with chronic stress. Identifying the source of that stress and speaking with a health care professional about how to reduce and manage it may lead to improvements in mood. Hunger: A 2018 study from researchers at the University of Guelph in Ontario found evidence that a change in glucose levels can have a lasting effect on mood. The study, published in the journal Psychopharmacology, found that rats injected with a glucose metabolism blocker experienced stress and depressed mood due to the resultant hypoglycemia. The study lends credence to the notion that many people have about feeling moody when they don’t eat. Weather: Seasonal Affective Disorder is a type of depression that adversely affects certain individuals’ moods during winter, when hours of sunlight are fewer than during spring, summer and fall and when temperatures outside can sometimes be so cold as to keep people indoors for extended periods of time. In addition, a 2013 study published in the journal Social Indicators Research found that individuals report greater life satisfaction on exceptionally sunny days than they did on days with ordinary weather. Bad moods come and go for most people. Identifying common triggers for bad moods can help individuals prepare for potential mood swings and navigate them in healthy ways.

Strategies to prevent back pain //////////////////////

en and women are well aware that minor aches and pains are part of aging. A balky knee that acts up on rainy days or an old sports injury that still triggers periodic discomfort may not be much to worry about, but a more serious condition such as chronic back pain can be so debilitating that it’s wise for individuals to do whatever they can to avoid it or delay its arrival. Millions of cases of chronic back pain undoubtedly go unreported. That’s because many individuals accept back pain as a side effect of aging, while others lack access to health care, making it difficult to pinpoint just how prevalent chronic back pain is. However, the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 estimated that around 577 million people across the globe experience lower back pain, or LBP. That prevalence should not give the impression that chronic back pain is unavoidable. In fact, various strategies can be employed to prevent back pain and all the negative consequences that come with it. Be active. The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion notes that physical activity strengthens the back and lowers the risk for developing back pain. The ODPHP recommends individuals engage in back-strengthening and stretching exercises at least two days per week. Chiropractors or personal trainers can recommend safe back-strengthening exercises, which the Mayo Clinic notes include the bridge exercise and shoulder blade squeeze. Stretches individuals can try include the knee-to-chest stretch, the lower back rotational stretch and the cat stretch.

Embrace new exercise routines. Individuals accustomed to strength training that involves dumbbells and circuit training machines should know that there are other ways to build strength and benefit the back at the same time. For example, studies have shown the value of Pilates in increasing the strength of core muscles, including those in the lower back. In addition, the ODPHP recommends yoga to individuals who want to make their backs stronger and lower their risk for back pain. Many fitness facilities have long since recognized the value of yoga and pilates and now include each approach in their class schedules. Perfect your posture. Another way to prevent back pain is to make a concerted effort to maintain good posture. The ODPHP urges individuals to avoid slouching when standing and sitting and to stand tall with head up and shoulders back. When sitting, sit with back straight against the back of the chair and feet flat on the floor. If possible, keep knees slightly higher than hips when sitting. Alternate between sitting and standing to avoid being in the same position for too long. Lift correctly. Poor technique when lifting things, even items that are not excessively heavy, can contribute to back pain. When lifting items, do so with the legs and not the back. The ODPHP urges individuals to keep their backs straight and bend at the knees or hips when lifting items. Avoid lifting especially heavy items without assistance. Despite its prevalence, back pain is not a given. Individuals can keep various strategies in mind to avoid joining the hundreds of millions of people across the globe who suffer from back pain every day.

Business&RealEstate

Don’t let higher interest rates spook you It appears by the response of our stock market this morning on April 25 that from what I have read and hear a 1/4 to a 1/2 point rise in the mortgage rate is automatically being built into stocks with the market now down by more than points. Will this be the bottom or will there be additional pain in prices? Buying on the dips and/or cost averaging has been a very successful method for many approaching stocks in what I would call one of the safest paths to pursue. However, get well-educated about investing before (or hire and seek the assistance of a qualified, transparent and candid and upfront stock broker, if you can find one) before putting any of your hard-earned dollars into any stock. Where is our real estate market currently heading, you ask? There will be those who have previously dropped out and more will continue to leave and jump back on the fence and either stay in their current rental or just consider renting for the time being. As the new rate is initiated, all forms of credit beside mortgage rates will continue to increase. So right now whoever has suﬃcient or excess cash will do well in real estate as many sellers will be most comfortable going that way as no bank will be involved and the worry of appraisals being short of the agreed selling price will then be elimi-

nated. If you are still very well qualified, I would be doing your own research at a feverish pace (or seek out the most knowledgeable, straight forward, transparent and candid Broker to assist you in finding your “next place to call home.”) Seek out your primary residence even if rates increase, because the benefit will outweigh the additional costs. You have to analyze that if you are going to be in your home for at least 10 to 20 years or more. Will you benefit long term? The answer is a resounding yes, as real estate has generally been a long-term play, even though I do not consider your home to be an investment, based on what an investment is. I have always said, unless you are earning a penny more than it costs you, then it is not an investment. Your home is a place to bring up your family, grow roots in your community, build relationships and friends and have an enjoyable life. When you are ready to sell, then you will realize and determine if any the gain or even breakeven point when you analyze all the costs over the years, e.g. mortgage, interest paid, monthly maintenance, upgrades and repairs etc., then subtract that total from your net proceeds. Then you will know whether you walked away with a profit or just broke even and lived

for free over all those years. Either scenario would be a plus in the scheme of your wealth, unless you are such an amazing investor that you could outperform the real estate market, which historically has increased by the inflation rate, according to Robert Shiller, who with his partner Karl Case created the Shiller-Case index. Robert Shiller had created a chart (not necessarily a perfect price analysis, as per Robert Shiller) that showed if you bought a home in 1950, that same home in 2000 was selling for

$100,000 and a tad over $200,000 in 2018. As you can see, prices have done very well for the majority of homeowners who had bought back then and eventually sold and even those who have bought in 2000 and beyond, especially with the huge eﬀect the Covid-19 pandemic has had on real estate values. No one can accurately predict the future, but luck is always about timing and nothing else. But being educated and smart will always go a long way in determining one’s future wealth. Seeking advice from a very qualified financial planner, CPA or elder care attorney will keep you in a much safer and stable position minimizing avoidable mistakes. Bottom line, I would still advise purchasing a single or multi-family home, HOA, townhome, condo or co-op as they are not growing any more land to put them on, so it is a unique commodity that throughout history has held its value over time. Owning a home has been the No. 1 commodity that families have built their wealth on over time. Don’t let interest rates create this fear (fanaticized expectations appearing real) that will hold you back from becoming a homeowner as long as you are qualified and don’t go overboard. Going a little above your budget is

OK as long as you crunch your numbers and if it makes sense in the brain, then it should make sense in your pocketbook. Lastly, get sound and quality advice from a professional such as a CPA or financial planner etc. Selling now would also be beneficial to cash out as rates go up and demand is reduced. Prices could soften (for buyers the interest rate will be a better savings than a reduced price over the length of the mortgage) but there will always be buyers buying and sellers selling. It’s just a point of how much you will end up with when selling.

The Williston Times, Friday, April 29, 2022

Ty Flood of Williston Park dies at 17 Continued from Page 1 Flood, who was just months short of graduation at Herricks High School, had earned a scholarship to Hofstra next year. A native of Williston Park, he was a friend to all. Pastor Adrian McHugh as well as Thomas shared words as gripping as they were emotional to the packed pews. Stories were told about Ty’s love for the Islanders, the Yankees and “for some unknown reason, even the Mets,” Thomas said. He was particularly fond of debating, conversing and sharing his knowledge with the world on whatever it was that piqued his interest in that moment in time. Ironically enough, it was what Ty was meant to do. The name Ty originates from Tadhg, which means philosopher or storyteller in Irish. At family functions, which Thomas said he always loved, Ty was seen as one of the guys and learned to hone his debate skills and expand his vocabulary. His father Timothy was often on the other end of those conversations,

for better or worse. “You could sit and talk to my son for hours on end on all diﬀerent topics,” Flood told Blank Slate Media. Flood made it clear that Ty did not let his disease define who he was. “Ty was a smart and funny kid to be around,” Flood said. “A lot of people recently have said ‘I’m sorry for your loss,’ which is OK, but don’t be sorry for Ty because Ty had a good life. Our family wanted last week to be a celebration of his life and I really believe that was captured.” Similar sentiments were expressed by his Uncle Thomas, who said his nephew never questioned why he had his illness. “Ty was smart, so perhaps we should follow his lead and realize we are asking the wrong question,” Thomas said. “We should this morning ask ourselves how Ty was able to live a full life with so many obstacles.” Simply enough, the answer was “love,” Thomas said. The Friday morning funeral service was

followed by Ty’s internment at St. Charles Cemetery in Farmingdale, where the teen will rest as he goes to Tír na nÓg, an Irish saying, which Pastor Adrian McHugh explained during his eulogy translates into “land of the young.” Flood also is thankful to the community and especially Williston Park Mayor Paul Ehrbar, who said when Ty was transitioning to a wheelchair that the village board of trustees would help with anything necessary to make the Floods’ home handicap-accessible. “Ty was a citizen of Wilson Park. it’s like the people in his community raised him as much as my wife and I did,” Flood said. “This village is a reflection of its mayor as well.” Ty will be missed by those who knew him. For his family, they’ll have countless memories, including trips to Citi Field which always included hot dogs and a soda in the first inning, chicken wings in the fourth and a seventh-inning stretch met with ice cream in a batting helmet. One thing is for certain, however: Ty will not be forgotten.

Andrea Ceriello dies from lymphoma at 69 Continued from Page 1 Media his Willis Avenue location has more meaning than the others. “This is my baby; this is where I started. I know people here. They were children, now they have grandchildren,” he said. “I’m part of the community. The other stores, they are just a business. This is something different here.” Williston Park’s loss was acknowledged by the village’s board of trustees at their recent meeting. “He was a great all-around guy,” Mayor Paul Ehrbar said in part. “He will be missed.” Ceriello enjoyed the connection he was able to foster with his community through his products. “Anything to do with food is romantic because you interact with people,” he said in 2015. “I sell you stuﬀ, and you go home and give it to your family — it’s a connection…I sell to the same people every week.” Ceriello married his first wife, Anna, in 1975 and had two children. In 2003, he married his second wife, Nancy who he lived with at their Dix Hills home. He is survived by his wife, Nancy, his daughters, Tina and Raﬀaella, and his grandchildren, Fiona and Rory. The family has requested donations in his name be sent to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in lieu of flowers.

totaling almost $19 billion. Eﬀorts to reach Frankel or law enforcement for further comment on the matter were unavailing. Frankel, during the start of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, used a 40-foot mobile medical unit to provide heart disease

patients with the care they needed without going to his oﬃce. Frankel’s team was able to perform blood pressure readings, lab work, electrocardiograms and other tests from the mobile unit. They traveled to community centers and apartment complexes across Long Island and

Queens. The team offered house calls when necessary. Prior to the coronavirus outbreak, Frankel and his team used the bus to offer care to police officers and other high-stress workers who may be at increased risk for heart disease.

Pixar co-founder at New York Tech commencement New York Institute of Technology will award an honorary degree to Alvy Ray Smith, Ph.D., a pioneer in computer animation who continues to lead the field, at its 61st commencement on Sunday, May 22, at the university’s Long Island campus. Following the degree conferral, Smith will deliver the keynote address to the Class of 2022. In addition, New York Tech has announced the Class of 2022 student orator and singer. Bakhtawar Shahbaz (B.S., Psychology; Faisalabad, Pakistan) was selected as the student orator to address the Class of 2022 during the commencement ceremony. She will assist in hooding Smith as the honorary degree recipient. Tricia Creft (B.S. Nursing, Queens Village) will sing the national anthem. Smith, who will receive a Doctor of Science, is an original member of the Computer Graphics Lab at New York Tech founded in the 1970s, and where in 1976 he developed the eight-bit paint system to ease computer animation. He is now

returning to campus and will be honored before an expected audience of several thousand graduates, family, and friends. A quintessential innovator and entrepreneur, Smith is the co-founder of two successful startups: Pixar, an animation studio he sold to Disney, and Altamira, a software company he sold to Microsoft. He also co-founded the Lucasfilm Computer Division, which developed computer graphics software, including early rendering technology.

“New York Tech is a diverse community of doers, makers, and innovators, and Alvy Ray Smith exemplifies that. His contributions to animation and computer graphics dramatically changed how movies are made. Through his examples of innovating and problem-solving, he can inspire in our students critically creative thinking that is infused with technology so that they can build their own legacy of innovation,” said New York Tech President Hank Foley, Ph.D., who will confer the honorary degree to Smith. “The founding of computer-generated animation began at New York Tech and, in my mind, illustrates that innovation is an integral part of the university’s DNA,” said Smith, whose lab flourished under New York Tech’s first president, Alexander Schure. “Alex Schure, who had roots in animation himself, brought me to the Long Island campus in 1975, where, with his encouragement, we founded the Computer

Graphics Lab. It was here that we, and a handful of colleagues, conceived a vision that would drive us from that point on: Be the first to make a completely computer-animated film.” Among his many notable films, Smith created and directed the “Genesis Demo” in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and conceived and directed “The Adventures of André & Wally B.,” starring the animator, John Lasseter. He proposed and negotiated the Academy-Award winning Disney computer-animation production system, CAPS, and also was the first Graphics Fellow at Microsoft and active in the development of the high-definition television (HDTV) standard. Read more about Smith’s legacy of innovation. Smith holds a Ph.D. from Stanford and an honorary doctorate from New Mexico State University. He is the creator of many pieces of computer art, including Sunstone in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Northwell opens Sandra Atlas Bass Otolaryngology Northwell Health announced Monday the opening of the Sandra Atlas Bass Otolaryngology Center, an 18,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art, comprehensive care facility featuring top otolaryngologists and head and neck tumor experts on the campus of Long Island Jewish Medical Center. The Otolaryngology Center, located at 444

Lakeville Road in New Hyde Park, was funded through a generous $12.15 million donation from longtime Northwell Health benefactor Sandra Atlas Bass. The center will oﬀer head and neck ambulatory procedures; adult laryngology, rhinology and skull base surgery; facial plastic surgery; general otolaryngology; adult speech language

pathology; and audiology testing. “Northwell Health is eternally grateful for the friendship and support of Sandra Atlas Bass,” said Michael Dowling, Northwell’s president and CEO. “It’s been a three-decade-long philanthropic partnership that’s had a truly profound impact on the communities that we serve. Northwell is able to deliver world-class care because of self-

less supporters like Ms. Bass. And we thank her very, very much.” Bass is a leading woman philanthropist and her commitment to Northwell has changed the lives of thousands of patients through her extraordinary generosity. Her giving for this project supports Northwell’s Outpacing the Impossible campaign, which Northwell Health announced in 2018 with the ambitious goal of raising $1 billion to advance care throughout the Metro New York region. “This new center is so important to the health and wellbeing of our communities because it will play a critical role in our ability to communicate and connect with others,” said Ms. Bass. “I’m thankful that I can help advance the science of head and neck conditions and make a difference in people’s lives.” Her latest gift expands and modernizes Northwell’s flagship otolaryngology practice. The new clinical space features 22 exam and four procedure rooms, testing facilities and conference rooms. “This incredible gift from Ms. Bass allows us to care for patients with many forms of communication disabilities,” said Dr. Andrea Vambutas, senior vice president and executive director of Northwell’s Head and Neck Services. “Our goal is to provide advanced, state-of-the-art treatment for many complicated otolaryngologic diseases that affect our ability to hear, smell, swallow or talk.” The center is staffed by recognized specialists in head and neck surgery, laryngology, sinus surgery, sleep medicine, plastic surgery and reconstructive surgery and general otolaryngology. “The Sandra Atlas Bass Otolaryngology Center broadens our ambulatory abilities to treat adult otolaryngology patients with routine and complex disease,” said Dr. Allan Abramson, chair emeritus of the Department of Otolaryngology at Long Island Jewish Medical Center. “In addition, this beautiful facility will help enable us to recruit and train outstanding otolaryngology residents and fellows.” Bass also supports a long-running program that provides hearing aids for children and adolescents from underserved communities. Life-changing hearing aids have been shown to improve communication skills, academic performance, and the ability to socialize.

What ‘a well-regulated militia’ really means

here is a Twitter account I follow called “Well Regulated Militia” that records the toll of gun deaths in this country. The feed reads like this: A member of our well-regulated militia uses a gun to murder his wife and her mother, then uses the gun to kill himself. He had a history of multiple domestic violence incidents against his wife, including threatening her with a gun. (April 13. Kingsport, TN) A member of our well-regulated militia pulls a gun on his brother. The brother wrestles the gun from him, and one of them fires the gun during the struggle. The brother who pulled the gun is shot in the abdomen. (April 16, Natchez, NM) A member of our well-regulated militia is having sex with his girlfriend when he finds a gun he hid in the couch. He tries to move it because she’d already asked him not to have guns around her. He shoots and kills her as they fight about the gun. (April 19, W. Palm Beach, FL) A member of our well-regulated militia arms himself to walk his dog. Another dog breaks free from his harness and runs in circles around him, so he shoots the dog in the head as his owners (including a 10-year-old girl) watch. (April 15, Aurora, IL) A member of our well-regulated militia uses a gun to murder his wife and to kill himself. One of the couple’s four children had called the police, saying she heard her dad threatening to shoot her mom. (April 14, Athens, GA) A member of our well-regulated militia allows a 14-year-old boy access to a gun. The boy shoots and kills his 10-year-old brother. Police arrest the boy and charge him with involuntary manslaughter; no word on charges for the gun owner. (April 13, Henderson NV) This is all recent. I saved a few favorites from last year, including the guy who killed his childhood friend when he saw him walking on his property. Thought he was an intruder. Or the woman who blew her husband away with a shot-

gun as he was letting himself in through the back door of his house. So after years of reading these reports that include episodes of manly men shooting oﬀ their own genitals as they keep their guns in their waistbands, my reaction is usually one of laughter. I know one should feel sadness and remorse about these tragedies, but why? This is the country you wanted, and now you have it. At this point, the self-inflicted stupidity is so routine, it’s like watching sketch comedy. More entertaining still is watching the way you allow yourselves to get manipulated. What a sight it is to see Nassau County “Democratic” candidates joining the Trumpist GOP, leveraging your fragility over a non-issue like bail reform, posing themselves as ”moderates,” while the Republicans get a free pass to allow weapons and firepower to be distributed like Snickers bars. In other words, the GOP creates the problems, and then blames the “weak liberals” for the inevitable outcome of mass slaughter. How cool is that? Few political constructs have worked so well in this country. Even the police buy into it. So let Nassau “Democrats” grovel and apologize for an issue they didn’t create. Leveraging fear sells. They’re in on the farce, too, just to get the votes of those “sensible” people who can tolerate “reasonable“ levels of mass incarceration for the sake of their feelings of self-comfort. In any case, I keep following this account for the laughs. Here’s another recent one: A member of our well-regulated militia allows a 6-year-old boy access to a loaded gun. The boy shoots himself and does not survive. (Fort Collins, TX) “The County Coroner’s Oﬃce has ruled that the Fort Collins boy died by accident.” An “accident.” Now THAT is funny.

Varsity Flag launches youth flag football league Varsity Flag is excited to announce that registration is now open for the area’s newest premier youth flag football league. The league welcomes athletes of all skill and experience levels, ages 3-5 for junior varsity and 6-14, with both boys’ and girls’ divisions open for enrollment. Varsity Flag’s game plan is to leave it all on the field and raise the bar in youth sports by providing a premier, community-centric youth sports league that emphasizes elite character building. Varsity Flag founded its youth flag football league as a way to help future leaders grow through team sports. Aside from having fun out on the field, young athletes will learn indispensable skills they can apply later in life. Alongside a commitment to the fundamentals, Varsity Flag’s mission focuses on teamwork, friendship and character building—all within a safe and inclusive environment.

Varsity Flag is a no-contact league, reducing the potential for injury and increasing the potential for fun! The league is player-centric, allowing kids to team up with friends or meet new people through an assigned team. “We’re really excited about the league we’re building: one that’s dedicated to providing better service, better facilities, top tier parent communication and proactive scheduling,” said League Commissioner and co-founder, Dave Kramer. “Coaches will give players every opportunity to get oﬀ the bench and onto the field, and Varsity Flag prioritizes personal growth for every child by developing their skills in the sport. This new flag football league will help kids feel empowered, supported and included.”Through partnerships with some of Long Island’s top camps—including Coleman Country Day Camp and Crestwood Country Day Camp—players will gain private access to pristine football fields where they’ll

play each week. In addition, the league will provide team photos and an on-site videographer, to help capture the action. Varsity Flag promises white-glove communication with players and their families. The league keeps everyone up to date with notifications via text, email, website and the league’s mobile app. It’s the only youth flag football league on Long Island that posts its full schedule before the season begins! A 2022 study found that flag football was the fastest-growing youth sport in America. Varsity Flag’s new youth flag football league is premiering at a time when demand is higher than ever as parents and players seek an alternative to traditional impact football. Registration is currently open for the Fall 2022 season, which kicks oﬀ in September. Parents can visit the league’s website to register their kids and discover more information. www.varsityflag.com
