Eagle Scout Helps Bats Out

TOP STORY

Matthew Milewski built bat houses for capstone project AMANDA OLSEN aolsen@antonmediagroup.com

ats may feature prominently in our Halloween décor, but they are actually an essential part of the ecosystem. They are the only mammals capable of true sustained flight and consume more than 1000 insects an hour. One Town of North Hempstead resident, Matthew Milewski, recently built over 30 bat boxes for various parks within the Town of North Hempstead as his Eagle Scout project for Plandome Troop 71. “I was looking for an Eagle Project that was conservation-based and would have an environmental impact, but also required building something. I reached out to a few different parks in Nassau County to get different project ideas and I chose mine because it had a great conservation aspect to it, it was very challenging, required a lot of hands-on building and also had an educational aspect to it,” said Milewski. Eagle Scout is the highest achievement or rank attainable in the Boy Scouts of America. Since its inception in 1911, only four percent of Scouts have earned this rank after a lengthy review process. The Eagle Scout rank has been earned by over 2.5 million youth. The project was suggested by John Darcy, Deputy Commissioner of Parks for the Town of North Hempstead. Installing bat boxes in local town parks offers a number of benefits. These well-designed shelters provide vital roosting sites for bats, which in turn, act as natural pest control agents, helping to reduce the population of disease-carrying insects such as mosquitoes. This reduces the need for chemical pesticides, promoting a healthier environment. While Milewski is interested in conservation, he did not have a particular interest in bats before beginning the project. However, with help from Darcy and biologist and Ranger Eric Powers, Milewski designed and constructed 32 boxes to be hung and distributed throughout the Town of North Hempstead. “Selecting the right project was a big challenge. I met with several individuals in different parks in Nassau County and researched several projects before picking this one,” said Milewski. The bat boxes had to meet certain criteria in order to maximize the chances

that the bats would use them. Certain kinds of wood are better than others, and the size of the opening and angle of the roof are also important. “Designing the bat houses was a very big challenge. My design went through a lot of revisions and changes based on feedback from my Eagle advisor and the certified Ranger/ Biologist I consulted along the way,” said Milewski. He also had to find a way to make the boxes easily. Most Eagle Scout projects, while planned by one scout, are executed with help from others within the troop. This was difficult to do over the summer. “My leadership skills were tested during the project- I had to manage my time and my helpers’ time during the summer months to get the project done quickly… Figuring out how to build the boxes in an efficient way was very challenging also. I mapped out a plan on how to build them in an assembly line fashion which saved a ton of time.” On September 21, the Department of Parks and Recreation hosted a Community Night at Clark Botanic Garden in Albertson. The guest speaker at the event was Powers, who gave an informational lecture on the biology of bats and their role in controlling mosquito populations. Milewski discussed his Eagle Scout project and displayed several of his newly constructed bat boxes. Also in attendance at the event was Town Supervisor Jen Desena. At the end of the evening, Powers took the group on a nature walk through Clark Botanic Gardens. Eagle Scout projects require a Scout to demonstrate leadership of others while performing a project for the benefit of their community. The skills Milewski has gained will serve him well going forward. “Organization skills, time management and working with others are all important skills that will help me with my classes and school projects in High School, as well as in college. Planning, fundraising, project execution and post-project review are the main pieces of any project and overall good skills to have.” Milewski’s mother, Tanja Milewski, expressed her pride in her son’s persistence. “I‘m very proud of him that he persevered and did it all he just didn’t give up. He just kept plugging away plugging away. I think it was it was a very big project for him to do a lot of different components to it that took a lot of planning and a lot of work.” Since undertaking this project, Milewski has a new appreciation for bats and their place in the ecosystem. “I learned about how important bats are to the environment, how bats are becoming endangered, and how pesticides that are used to kill mosquitoes are in turn killing the bats,” he said.

NEIGHBORS IN THE NEWS New Pollinator Garden At Bryant Library

More Wins For Lady Bulldogs

THE ROSLYN NEWS STAFF roslyn@antonmediagroup.com

A new pollinator garden has been installed at the Bryant Library. (Photo courtesy the Town of North Hempstead)

The Town of North Hempstead recently joined the Bryant Library in Roslyn for the installation of a new pollinator garden to provide pollinator habitat and food sources for bees, butterflies, other pollinating insects, and wildlife. The new garden was installed in front of the library building. The inspiration to create a pollinator garden at the library stemmed from the myriad of gardens established by North Hempstead in Gerry Park, adjacent to the library, as well

as the library’s Rachel Hicks Seed Exchange that promotes sustainable gardening. Town Environmental Specialist, Meagan Fastuca, was able to guide library staff throughout the process by providing suggestions and advice on plant selection and design for the garden. Town officials hope that by partnering with local organizations and agencies it will inspire the creation of more pollinator gardens. —Submitted by the Town of North Hempstead

RHS Artists In Gardening Calendar The artwork of two students from Laurie Schoenberg’s class was selected for inclusion in the Cornell Cooperative Extension’s 2023 Gardening Calendar and Guide.

artwork. Each student was given a certificate of accomplishment and a complimentary calendar. “I am extremely proud of these two students who took the initiative to submit their artwork for this competition,” said Schoenberg. “I’m very pleased to see their artwork featured in the Cornell Gardening calendar.” —Submitted by Cynthia Younker for the Roslyn School District

The fall sports regular season is drawing to a close and both the Roslyn High School girls’ volleyball and soccer squads continue their winning ways. As of press time, the volleyball squad is 12-5 overall and 12-4 in conference play. On Oct. 23, Roslyn defeated Westbury, 3-0. Casey Rhine had three kills. Samantha Behan also had three kills, plus four blocks. Amanda Gerber also had two kills. Two days later, Baldwin High School fell victim to the Roslyn juggernaut. The Lady Bulldogs were led by Dana Barrow who had eight kills and Amanda Gerber who starred with 13 assists. She also had two assists. Rachel Tsang didn’t score, but she had six digs. The Roslyn attack was well-rounded. Sarah Zwerling and Samantha Behan had four kills

each. Casey Rhine and Anna Luty each had three goals. On defense, Behan had five blocks and Gerber had three. The girls’ soccer squad is currently sporting an 11-2 record overall and a 10-2 mark in conference play. Its most recent win was a 7-2

triumph over Great Neck North. On offense, Avery Minsky had three goals. Lily Allen scored two goals and two assists. Gianna DiSanti had a goal and an assist. Taylor Goldberg had two assists. Ava Voynovich the top goalie in all of Long Island, had 10 saves.

Herricks Volleyball Fundraiser The Herricks High School volleyball teams recently hosted “Dig Pink Night”, the annual breast cancer fundraiser that aims to help spike out breast cancer. The Herricks teams were joined by Great Neck North High School boys and Elmont High School girls volleyball teams for this year’s event, which saw the Herricks High School gymnasium transformed into a veritable sea of pink as both spectators and team members turned out in support. The event raised over $1,200 for the Side-Out Foundation, a non-profit organization that raises awareness and funds for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer primarily through volleyball-related events. This year’s donation brings the total raised by the Herricks school community to over $15,000 since 2009. —Submitted by Herricks Public Schools

Moriches Field Brewing Company received $18,750 to revitalize an empty downtown space.

(Cheers to that.) Revitalization grants are just one of the ways we help businesses on Long Island and in the Rockaways. For Moriches Field Brewing Company, a grant from our economic development program was a perfect fit to help them renovate a previously vacant property. A discount through our Vacant Space Revival Program saved them more than $4,000 on their electric bills, and rebates for upgrading to LED lighting are keeping them saving month after month. Helping revitalize our Island, one business at a time, is something we’re proud to be part of and something definitely worth celebrating.

PUBLIC STATEMENT HEARINGS TO BE HELD IN PSC CASES 23-G-0225, 23-G-0226 – NATIONAL GRID NY AND NATIONAL GRID FOR GAS SERVICE On April 28, 2023, The Brooklyn Union Gas Company d/b/a National Grid NY (KEDNY) and KeySpan Gas East Corporation d/b/a National Grid (KEDLI)(collectively, the Companies) filed amendments to their gas tariff schedules proposing to increase their annual gas delivery revenues effective March 31, 2024. KEDNY proposes to increase its revenues by $414 million (a 28 percent increase in base delivery revenues or a 17 percent increase in total revenues). KEDLI proposes to increase its revenues by $228 million (a 24 percent increase in base delivery revenues or a 14 percent increase in total revenues). Although the actual bill impacts of these proposed changes on any particular customer class will vary based upon revenue allocation and rate design, the Companies state that a typical KEDNY residential heating customer will have a $30.95 average monthly bill increase and a typical KEDLI residential heating customer will have a $28.52 average monthly bill increase. The Companies state that the rate increases are largely due to the need to invest in critical infrastructure to comply with Federal and State pipeline safety mandates, increased costs to deliver expanded energy efficiency and other demand reduction offerings, and economic factors such as rising cost of material due to inflation, increased contractor costs, and increases in property taxes. The Companies state that their rate filings are focused on delivering safe and reliable service, meeting the needs of customers, and advancing the fossil fuel emission reduction goals of the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA). The Companies also propose a moderated program to effectively maintain the current pace of leak prone pipe replacements through a more targeted replacement strategy; aggressively repair gas leaks and target the repair of high-emitting leaks through the use of advanced leak detection technology; continue or expand customer oriented initiatives to ensure energy affordability, improve customer experience and maintain customer satisfaction; improve the resiliency of the distribution system by investing in automation, safety valves, and storm hardening projects; and continue or expand many CLCPA-supporting initiatives such as non-pipe alternatives, energy efficiency and demand response programs.

Happy 119th Anniversary NYC Subway System On October 27, 1904, the Interborough Rapid Transit company opened the first subway line in New York City. It traveled 9 miles from City Hall uptown on the eastside of Manhattan across 42nd Street (today’s 42nd Street Shuttle) to Times Square and proceeded uptown to 145th Street and included 28 stations. Over 150,000 riders paid a 5-cent fare on the first day of service. The original BMT (Brooklyn Manhattan Rapid Transit – today’s B,D,J,M, N,Q, R & Z lines) and IRT (Interboro Rapid Transit 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, Franklin Ave and Times Square shuttles) subway systems were constructed and managed by the private sector with no government operating subsidies. Financial viability was 100 percent dependent upon farebox revenues. They supported both development and economic growth of numerous neighborhoods in the boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx and Queens. As part of the franchise agreement the owners had to sign, City Hall had direct control over the fare structure. For a period of time, owners actually make a profit with a five cent fare. After two decades passed, the costs of salaries, maintenance, power, supplies and equipment would pressure owners to ask City Hall for permission to raise the fares. This additional revenue was needed to maintain a good state of repair, increase the frequency of service, purchase new subway cars, pay employee salary increases and support planned system expansion. Politicians more interested in the next reelection (and subscribing to the old Roman philosophy of free bread and circuses) refused this request each year, for well over two decades. As a result, in order to survive owners of both systems began looking elsewhere to reduce costs and stay in business. They started curtailing basic maintenance, delayed purchases of new subway cars, postponed salary increases for employees, canceled any plans for system expansion and cut corners to survive. In the 1930s, NYC began building and financing construction of the new IND (Independent Subway – today’s A,C,E,F & G lines). This new municipal system subsidized by taxpayers dollars would provide direct competition to both the IRT and BMT.

No one would openly eat pizza, chicken or other messy foods while riding a bus or subway. There was no problem with homeless people riding or occupying subway stations.

bus. It eliminated the old two-fare zones, making public transportation an even better bargain. Purchasing a weekly or monthly subway/bus pass reduces the cost per ride and provides virtually unlimited trips.

NYC Transit has a fleet of 6,500 subway cars with 471 stations serving 5.5 million pre-COVID-19 riders. Over 4 million daily riders have returned. Service is provided on 28 routes spanning four of five boroughs comprising NYC including Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan and Queens. Only the 500,000 residents of Staten Island have no direct subway connection to the rest of NYC. The largest subway system in the world has benefited since the 1960s by grant funding provided by the Federal Transit Administration. Of the $1.8 billion in annual FTA funding provided to the MTA, NYC Transit usually receives a minimum of 70percent or over $1.3 billion. These dollars pay for various capital improvement projects which benefit riders. Since the Urban Mass Transportation Act was signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson in 1964, NYC Transit has received billions and billions of dollars in federal assistance from Washington. This is a great example of your tax dollars at work. Let us also give thanks to the thousands of hard working men and women who maintain and operate our NYC subway system. It is the lifeline that keeps the Big Apple moving day in and day out.

Leadership Void Hobbles School Bus Safety Program Rollout As our children continue their 2023-24 studies, so too does the daily jockeying to make sure they have a safe and reliable way to get to school every day. Many are driven to school; others walk; and the remainder rely upon school bus transportation. Regrettably, as it pertains to that latter form of transportation, many school buses serving our County currently lack a major safety tool – stop-arm cameras that ensure motorists who illegally pass buses are held accountable. As a cosponsor of the 2019 legislation that cleared the way for a stop-arm camera program here in Nassau County, I am frustrated by the laissez-faire approach the Blakeman administration has taken to getting school districts to sign up for a program that is expressly designed to promote public safety and protect our children. What makes it especially disappointing is that school districts like Jericho – which have cameras installed on all its buses – can’t use this potentially life-saving technology until the Town and the vendor sign a contract. After the administration of former County Executive Laura

Data from neighboring Suffolk’s countywide stop-arm camera program show that this uniform, countywide approach is working.

3D Printing in Healthcare

3D printing technology has been making strides in producing customized implants, prosthetics, and even drugs. Printing technology will eventually be a standard practice in mainstream medicine, allowing for patient-specific treatments.

Research into the biology of aging and regenerative medicine is leading to breakthroughs that slow down the aging process, enhance tissue regeneration, and extend human lifespan.

Neurological Advancements Progress in understanding and treating neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, are leading to disease-modifying treatments that are increasingly more effective each year.

These are speculative advancements, and the actual path and progress in mainstream medicine will vary as more research is tested and validated. The field of medicine is continuously evolving, with new discoveries and breakthroughs occurring regularly. To get the most accurate and up-to-date information on the latest advances in mainstream medicine, it is essential to refer to current medical journals, news sources, and healthcare professionals.

Alzheimer’s Myths BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

Alzheimer’s disease is a devastating and complex neurodegenerative condition that affects millions of people worldwide. While significant progress has been made in understanding the disease, there are still many misconceptions and myths about Alzheimer’s. Here are five common myths about Alzheimer’s disease debunked.

There has been a long-standing belief that exposure to aluminum, such as through cooking with aluminum cookware or consuming antacids containing aluminum, can cause Alzheimer’s disease. Extensive research has not established a clear link between aluminum and Alzheimer’s. The exact cause of the disease remains an active area of investigation, but it is likely due to a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.

Myth 1

Myth 4

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Alzheimer’s only affects the elderly One prevalent myth is that Alzheimer’s exclusively affects older individuals. While the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease increases with age, it can occur in people under the age of 65, a condition referred to as early-onset Alzheimer’s. Early-onset Alzheimer’s can manifest in individuals in their 40s and 50s, although it is less common. Age is a significant risk factor, but Alzheimer’s is not limited to the elderly.

Myth 2

Alzheimer’s is a natural part of aging Another misconception is that memory decline and cognitive impairment are

Getty Images

a natural part of aging. While it’s true that cognitive abilities can change with age, Alzheimer’s is not a typical part of the aging process. It is a specific and progressive brain disorder with distinct pathological features. Not all older adults will develop Alzheimer’s, and many seniors maintain their cognitive function well into their golden years.

Myth 3

Alzheimer’s is caused by aluminum

Memory loss equals Alzheimer’s Memory loss is a hallmark symptom of Alzheimer’s disease, but it is essential to recognize that occasional forgetfulness does not equate to having Alzheimer’s. Memory lapses can be a part of normal aging, and they can also result from various factors such as stress, sleep disturbances, or medication side effects. Alzheimer’s is diagnosed based on a combination of cognitive decline, functional impairment, and specific changes in the brain, not just memory loss.

Myth 5

There is a cure for Alzheimer’s While significant advancements have been

made in Alzheimer’s research and treatment, there is currently no cure for the disease. Many treatments aim to manage symptoms and slow the progression of the disease, but none can completely stop or reverse it. This is a source of frustration for patients and their families, as well as for researchers and healthcare professionals. The search for a cure is ongoing, and numerous clinical trials are exploring potential therapies, but as of now, no definitive cure exists. It is crucial to dispel these myths and promote accurate information about Alzheimer’s disease. Understanding the true nature of the condition can help reduce stigma, increase awareness, and encourage individuals to seek medical advice and support at the earliest signs of cognitive decline. Alzheimer’s is a complex and multifaceted condition that affects not only the person diagnosed but also their caregivers and loved ones. Raising awareness and dispelling misconceptions can lead to a more compassionate and informed society that supports those impacted by Alzheimer’s.

It’s That Time Again: Seasonal Affective Disorder specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

easonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that occurs in a seasonal pattern, typically during the fall and winter months. It is often colloquially referred to as “winter blues” or “winter depression.” This condition can have a significant impact on an individual’s mental and emotional well-being.

Symptoms

SAD is characterized by a range of symptoms that are similar to those of major depressive disorder. Common symptoms include: Low Mood: Individuals with SAD often experience persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and irritability. Fatigue: A marked increase in fatigue and a lack of energy are typical during the winter months. Overeating and Weight Gain: SAD is often associated with carbohydrate cravings and overeating, which can lead to weight gain. Oversleeping: Excessive sleep and difficulty waking up in the morning are typical symptoms. SAD sufferers may also

2024

experience a tendency to nap during the day. Loss of Interest: People with SAD may lose interest in activities they once enjoyed, withdraw from social interactions, and experience a sense of isolation. Difficulty Concentrating: Decreased concentration and difficulty making decisions can also be part of SAD.

Causes

The exact causes of SAD are not entirely understood, but several factors may contribute to its development: Biological Clock (Circadian Rhythm): Reduced exposure to natural light during the winter months can disrupt the body’s internal biological clock. This disruption can affect sleep patterns, mood, and hormone regulation. Serotonin Levels: A drop in serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood, is believed to play a role in SAD. Reduced sunlight exposure can lead to decreased serotonin production. Melatonin Levels: Changes in the duration and intensity of sunlight can also affect melatonin production, leading to increased sleepiness and a disrupted sleep-wake cycle. Genetics: Family history may be a factor

in SAD, as it tends to run in families. Vitamin D Deficiency: Reduced exposure to sunlight during the winter can lead to lower levels of vitamin D, which is linked to mood regulation.

Treatment Options

Seasonal Affective Disorder is a treatable condition, and several options are available to manage its symptoms: Light Therapy: Light therapy, or phototherapy, is a common and effective treatment for SAD. It involves sitting in front of a lightbox that emits bright, full-spectrum light, typically for 20-60 minutes each morning. This light exposure helps regulate the body’s internal clock and improve mood. Medications: Antidepressant medications, particularly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), can be prescribed to manage SAD symptoms. These medications can help regulate serotonin levels in the brain. Psychotherapy: Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of talk therapy that can help identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. Lifestyle Modifications: Engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining

Getty Images

a balanced diet, and getting outdoors during daylight hours can help alleviate SAD symptoms. Vitamin D: In cases of vitamin D deficiency, supplements may be recommended to address this nutritional shortfall. Dawn Simulators: These devices gradually increase the intensity of light in the morning, simulating a natural sunrise and helping individuals wake up more gently. It’s important to note that the effectiveness of these treatments may vary from person to person, and a combination of therapies may be necessary to manage SAD effectively.

Take A Look: Castor Oil

astor oil is a versatile and time-tested natural remedy that offers a wide range of benefits for health, beauty and wellness. Derived from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant, castor oil has been used for centuries in various cultures for its therapeutic properties. Take a look at the numberous advantages of castor oil, including how to use it effectively.

Hair Care

Castor oil is renowned for its hair-enhancing properties. It is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin E, which promote hair growth, strengthen hair strands, and reduce split ends. Massaging castor oil into your scalp can improve blood circulation and stimulate hair follicles, leading to thicker and healthier hair. To stimulate hair growth, mix castor oil with a lighter oil (such as coconut or almond oil) and massage it into your scalp. Leave it on for at least 30 minutes or overnight before washing your hair.

Skin Health

Castor oil is an excellent moisturizer and can help alleviate dry skin conditions. Its natural antibacterial and antifungal properties make it effective in treating acne and other skin issues. The oil can also be used to reduce the appearance of scars,

stretch marks, and fine lines, giving your skin a more youthful appearance. For skin concerns, apply a small amount of castor oil to the affected area and gently massage it in. For acne-prone skin, use a cotton swab to apply a tiny amount directly to blemishes.

Dry and chapped lips can benefit from the application of castor oil. Its thick consistency forms a protective barrier, preventing moisture loss and leaving your lips soft and hydrated. Apply a small amount of castor oil to dry lips. Castor oil can be used to soothe dry and tired eyes. A drop or two of castor oil in each eye before bedtime can help relieve dryness and irritation, making it a popular home remedy for conditions like dry eye syndrome. Use it as an eye drop for dry eyes before bedtime.

Castor oil is widely used as a natural laxative. When ingested, it stimulates the intestines, promoting bowel movements and relieving constipation. However, it should be used sparingly for this purpose and under the guidance of a healthcare professional, as excessive consumption can lead to diarrhea and dehydration. If using castor oil as a laxative, take it in the recommended dosage, usually one to two teaspoons for adults. It is best taken on an empty stomach and should produce a bowel movement within a few hours.

Anti-Aging

Pain Relief

The anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of castor oil make it useful for relieving muscle and joint pain. It can be applied topically to reduce inflammation and ease discomfort in conditions such as arthritis or sore muscles. To relieve muscle or joint pain, apply castor oil to the affected area and cover it with a warm compress for 30 to 60 minutes.

Antifungal and Antimicrobial

Castor oil has natural antifungal and antimicrobial properties, making it effective in treating fungal infections like athlete’s foot and ringworm. It can also help prevent the growth of bacteria on the skin.

The antioxidant properties of castor oil, along with its ability to promote collagen production, make it an effective anti-aging treatment. Regular use can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Castor oil offers a multitude of benefits for both health and beauty. It is essential to use it in moderation and consult a healthcare professional when using it for internal purposes. When applied correctly, castor oil can be a valuable addition to your natural health and beauty routine, helping you achieve healthier hair, skin, and overall well-being.

Governor Hochul Announces Round One Of Regional School Food Grant Program

overnor Kathy Hochul recently announced that $10 million is available through Round 1 of New York’s Regional School Food Infrastructure Grant Program. The program will support projects in New York schools that improve meal preparation and distribution for Kindergarten through Grade 12 students. First announced in the Governor’s 2023 State of the State, the program will provide $50 million over five years to eligible applicants to facilitate the on-site processing and preparation of fresh, nutritious meals, increase the use of more healthy, local New York food products, and provide a boost to New York farmers. “Through our Farm-to-School program and our 30 percent New York State Initiative for schools, we have made huge strides in bringing our farmers and our schools together, making lasting connections to purchase more local foods for school meals than ever before,” Governor Hochul said. “This Regional School Food Infrastructure Grant Program will build on the success of these programs and provide the much-needed support to help schools cook delicious meals for our young people. Providing healthy, balanced meals equals better learning for students statewide and supports our agricultural community at the same time.” Administered by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, the Regional School Food Infrastructure Grant Program will provide the resources schools need to aggregate, store, process, and prepare farm products, and make it possible to cook fresh, nutritious, scratch made meals for school children. It will also encourage workforce development by providing training to schools, communities, and students for culinary arts, food processing, safe food handling and storage, logistics, delivery, and more, based on community need. Project proposals should be regionally focused on improving meal preparation for K-12 school children, reducing food insecurity, increasing market opportunities for New York State producers, and strengthening the resilience of our state’s food system. The program requires that funded facilities serve multiple school districts and support their local community, including by providing workforce development opportunities. In this round of funding, two regions will be awarded $5 million each. Two additional regions will be awarded $5 million each in subsequent rounds, until all regions are awarded.

Grant funds are available for the costs of capital projects to support the preparation and distribution of fresh meals for regional school infrastructure, such as aggregation, storage hubs, and/or commissary-type kitchens. Eligible applicants include not-forprofit organizations, local municipalities, school districts, and Boards of Cooperative Education Services (BOCES). Proposals are due on Wednesday, January 24, 2024, at 3:00 pm. Additionally, an optional webinar will be held on November 29, 2023, at 12:00 pm. The workshop will be recorded and posted on the Department’s website. These initiatives build on New York’s many programs to support local foods in schools, including the successful Farm-toSchool program, which connects schools with local farms and food producers to strengthen local agriculture, improve student health, and promote regional food systems awareness. Through the program, the Department of Agriculture and Markets provides financial, technical, and promotional assistance to schools, farms, distributors, and other supporting organizations to bring more local, nutritious, seasonally varied meals to New York students. The Farm-to-School program supports the New York State Council on Hunger and Food Policy’s priorities to initiate and facilitate public awareness campaigns about the economic benefits of a local farm and food economy; alleviate geographic and economic barriers to improve access to healthy fresh food; and promote well-balanced child nutrition. —Submitted by the office of Governor Kathy Hochul

According to Oceana, an international advocacy organization focused on ocean conservation, the olive sea snake is the most common sea snake along the northern coast of Australia and nearby island groups. Like all reptiles, olive sea snakes breathe air, but unlike other marine reptiles, their entire life cycle occurs in the ocean. They grow to lengths of over six feet. And they are adapted to life on coral reefs. They have a flattened, paddle-like tail and a large lung that allows it to go hours between breaths at the surface.

Olive snakes are also known to be curious, and often approach SCUBA divers inquisitively, especially at night. While they do rarely bite people, their bites have been known to be fatal. And their babies do not receive any parental care. While they are not fished by humans, they are at risk of getting caught by fishers targeting other species.

New York Blood Center Will Welcome Newly Eligible LGBTQIA+ Donors As Region Experiences Blood Emergency N individual donor assessment. This follows the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) final guidance establishing a blood donor screening process based on Individual Donor Assessment, not sexual or gender identity. Interested individuals can find detailed information regarding these changes at nybc.org/ida. In preparation for this change, New York Blood Center has completed the adoption of the donor history questionnaire, updated and validated computer systems regulated by the FDA, trained staff, and updated operational procedures. “For decades, we have strongly advocated for scientifically-based changes to the FDA policies regarding gay and bisexual men and this recent decision by the FDA is a huge step toward making blood donation more inclusive,” said Andrea Cefarelli, Senior Vice President at New York Blood Center. “We look forward to welcoming these new donors to our centers and blood drives, especially during a national blood emergency and following a tough summer with low donor turnout. We’re currently experiencing a blood emergency and both

new and regular donors are desperately needed.” All U.S. blood centers are regulated by the FDA and must adhere to their donor eligibility policies. In 1983, the FDA instituted a lifetime deferral on blood donations for gay and bisexual men in order to reduce the chance of HIV in the blood supply at a time when testing was limited or non-existent. In 2015, the FDA revised this policy and moved to a 12-month deferral for men who have sex with men in response to comprehensive testing capabilities and data demonstrating safety in shortened deferral. This policy was revised again in 2020 to the current 3-month deferral. The change is based on data from the “Assessing Donor Variability And New Concepts in Eligibility” (ADVANCE) Study, which sought to determine if different eligibility criteria could be used focusing on each donor’s individual risk behavior rather than their sexual orientation. The updated criteria reflects the scientific data gathered as part of the ADVANCE Study. About New York Blood Center: Founded in 1964, New York Blood Center (NYBC) is

a nonprofit organization that is one of the largest independent, community-based blood centers in the world. NYBC, along with its operating divisions Community Blood Center of Kansas City, Missouri (CBC), Innovative Blood Resources (IBR), Blood Bank of Delmarva (BBD), and Rhode Island Blood Center (RIBC), collect approximately 4,000 units of blood products each day and serve local communities of more than 75 million people in the Tri-State area (NY, NJ, CT), Mid Atlantic area (PA, DE, MD, VA), Missouri and Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Rhode Island, and Southern New England. NYBC and its operating divisions also provide a wide array of transfusion-related medical services to over 500 hospitals nationally, including Comprehensive Cell Solutions, the National Center for Blood Group Genomics, the National Cord Blood Program, and the Lindsley F.

ew York Blood Center (NYBC) has introduced a new donor screening process based on Individual Donor Assessment (IDA), not sexual or gender identity. This comes at an important time as New York is currently experiencing a blood emergency with dangerously low levels of O+ and O-, B-, and platelets. NYBC has announced a blood emergency following a summer of low donor turnout. Contributing to the shortage are holidays, back-to-school activities, and a prolonged 50percent decrease in youth and first-time donors. The region’s blood supply is well below the optimal 5-7 days and while all blood types are needed, types O+, O-, B-, and platelets are critically low. And our community is not alone, blood shortages are happening across the country, with multiple centers urgently calling for blood donations.

Legislature Passes No-Tax Increase Budget On October 30th, the Nassau County Legislature unanimously passed the 2024 Nassau County budget, which contains zero increase in taxes. The zero-tax increase budget is a result of the solid fiscal management policies put into practice by the Legislative Majority and County Executive Bruce Blakeman that has also led to Nassau’s economic condition being in the best shape in years. Proof of that

comes from a recent financial report from the State Comptroller’s Office that placed Nassau County among the top-ranked fiscally sound counties throughout New York State for the second year in a row. Previously, the County’s bond ratings were upgraded to their highest levels since 2005 by two of Wall Street’s leading credit agencies. The 2024 budget also contained an amendment proposed by the Legislative

Majority which adds funding for more police officers and assistant district attorneys, without impacting the no-tax increase budget. These new officers and attorneys will increase public safety and address the demands created by the State’s disastrous cashless bail and discovery laws that favor criminals and allow them to return to the streets with no punishment or fear of committing more crimes.

For the last 14 years, the Republican Legislative Majority not only hasn’t raised property taxes in 14 consecutive years but eliminated $70 million from the previous administration’s 2022 budget as well as planned tax increases for 2023, 2024, and 2025, resulting in a property tax cut of $200 million, which will be carried through 2027. —Submitted by the Nassau County Legislature

ARIES (March 21-April 19). This week represents a breakthrough in your mental game. You’ll find that you don’t always identify with what runs through your mind. Thoughts are just thoughts. When you sense that a thought isn’t useful, try adding a disclaimer to the end of it. “I’m feeling anxious... but I can also think of ways things could go well.”

Solution: 12 Letters

WORD FIND

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Remember your original intentions. The week throws distractions your way, and it’s easy to get caught up in the other things there are to want. Until you get back to that one thing you started with, you won’t be truly fulfilled. Let your deeper reasons fuel you to be of service and you’ll do the work you were meant to do.

Rugby League greats Solution: 12 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Stress can be paralyzing, or it can be the necessary push to try something different. Stress can deliver the extra energy needed to do something hard. You’ll accept that some amount of stress will help you. You’ll find that sweet spot where it’s not too much. And you’ll use the energy boost to leap over an obstacle. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re conscious that an activity is undermining your goal, though you still may feel compelled to do it. Awareness has stages. What else can you observe about the behavior, such as triggers, environments or people involved? Can you make a plan anyway? Wherever you are in the process at the start of the week, it will improve by the weekend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You see and appreciate so much in others but forget to turn that love back on yourself. Acknowledge your strengths. Embracing the attitudes, habits and characteristics that make you so wonderfully you is a path to self-love and thriving. Could you turn it into a practice? It will dissipate your worries and allow you to shine. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Some days roll out like a Bubble Wrap of tasks you can pinch off with orderly satisfaction. But this week is more like Styrofoam packing peanuts -- messy and weird to clean up, though you may be grateful about how nothing is broken, and the tasks are light, if sometimes staticky. Everything gets handled. All stays intact. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Some people don’t have a clue how to let loose and have a good time. It’s an easier thing to do in an environment that’s comfortable. You’ll make people comfortable with your warmth and ability to see and be the fun. You will save the party this way -- and save the meeting/ date/otherwise boring routine as well. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s not always about keeping your eye on the prize. The feeling of the work, your breath and getting the “form” right are all important as well. Whether your performance has to do with making a sale, teaching a class or crossing the finish line of a race, the more connected to the moment you are, the better you’ll perform. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ve been cheering the team and taking pictures. This week, you’ll step out of the sidelines and into those pictures, taking to heart the cheers of others. Being part of the action, for however long it lasts, enriches your powers of observation in perpetuity, and your joy in equal measure. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A new cycle will begin, but first, the universe is waiting for you to signal the start. You’ll initiate this time around the track, not with a sound or a flag but with an act of intent. Cut your hair, buy a new power tool, give old clothes away. The universe awaits your green light.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You measure success by different standards. This will have a lot to do with what you need from relationships and how they fit into your life. You’ll come to a place of deep self-fulfillment, so what others add will be like the sprinkles on top -- the delight of new experiences, challenges to keep the adventure interesting, and a constant flow of warmth, inclusion and activity that keeps you engaged and contributing. More highlights: a financial breakthrough, a graduation and foreign travel. COPYRIGHT 2023 CREATORS.COM

As you cheer yourself on, you’re looking for movement in a particular direction, not perfection. Anything that’s more of what you want counts toward the goal.

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direction but always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 12 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

CONTRACT BRIDGE Famous Hand

South dealer. Neither side vulnerable. NORTH ♠4 ♥8 6 3 2 ♦AKQ ♣K J 9 5 4 WEST EAST ♠Q8762 ♠AKJ9 ♥7 5 ♥ K J 10 9 4 ♦73 ♦J984 ♣ 10 8 6 2 ♣— SOUTH ♠ 10 5 3 ♥A Q ♦ 10 6 5 2 ♣A Q 7 3 The bidding: South West North East 1♣ Pass 1♦ 2♣ 2♦ 2♠ 3♥ Dble 4♥ Pass 5♣ 5♠ Pass Pass 6♣ Pass Pass Dble Opening lead — six of spades. This deal was played in the 1930’s, which accounts for some of the bids that led to six clubs doubled. The declarer was Waldemar von Zedtwitz, whose name was closely associated with every facet of contract bridge from the time the game was invented in 1926. West led a spade to East’s king,

and East returned the jack of hearts. Von Zedtwitz finessed the queen and led the three of clubs. When West followed with the deuce, von Zedtwitz played dummy’s four! After the club finesse succeeded, as seemed likely from the bidding, declarer had smooth sailing. He cashed the ace of hearts, led a diamond to dummy, ruffed a heart with the club queen, led the seven of clubs to dummy’s nine, ruffed dummy’s last heart with the ace and trumped a spade in dummy. The K-J of clubs drew West’s two remaining trumps, and the A-K of diamonds won the last two tricks to give von Zedtwitz a score of 1,090 points. Subsequent analysis showed that the slam could not have been made without the deep trump finesse at trick three. Finessing the four of clubs was by no means just a fancy play — it was absolutely essential. West could have thrown a spanner into the works by playing the six of clubs at trick three instead of the deuce, but this does not diminish the luster of von Zedtwitz’s play once he got the chance to finesse the four. Taking advantage of defensive slips is an important part of the game.

Beirut Bombing: Long Island Buries Its Dead JOSEPH SCOTCHIE jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

“

emember Charlie Remember Baker, They left their childhood On every acre.” In that 1982 hit, Billy Joel sang of his fellow Long Islanders who served in Vietnam. Those lines could just as easily be applied to the 241 Americans who died 40 years ago in the terrorist bombing of a Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon. The deceased included Long Island Marines. Remember the names: Michael J. Ohler, Huntington; Joseph Boccia, Jr., Northport; Joseph Milano, Farmingville; Craig Wyche, Jamaica; and Sam Cherman, Queens. The New Yorkers who perished were a microcosm of the Empire State: City boys, country boys, townies, and suburbanites. Remember them, too: Alexander Ortega, Rochester; Bert Corcoran, Katonah; Kevin Coulman, Harold Gratton, Conoes; John Ingalls, Interlaken; James Jackowski, S. Salem; Steven Jones, Brooklyn; John McCall, Rochester; Richard Menkins, Tully; Robert Olson, Lawtons; Mark Payne, Binghamton; Terrence Rich, Brooklyn; Scott Schultz, Keesville; Ronald Shallo, Hudson; Craig Stockton, Rochester; Dennis Thompson, Bronx; and Brian O’Weeks, Brooklyn. The Marines were deployed to Lebanon in October 1982, as part of a multi-national peacekeeping force. That included France. After World War I, Lebanon was liberated from the Ottoman Empire and became a French protectorate. Lebanon achieved its independence in 1943. Earlier, in June 1982, Israeli forces entered Lebanon to flush out suspected Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) terrorists in that country. Since 1975, Lebanon had been in the throes of a civil war, one that lasted until 1990. The terrorist attack took place on Oct. 23, 1983. For the Marines, it was the deadliest single-day attack since the famed World War II battle of Iowa Jima.

A view of the carnage. It wasn’t without precedent. On April 23, 1983, the first terrorist attack took place. Up to 63 people, including 17 Americans, were killed. After that attack, President Ronald Reagan declared: “These gallant Americans understood the danger they faced, and yet they went willingly to Beirut. And the dastardly deed, the act of unparalleled cowardice that took their lives, was an attack on all of us, on our way of life and on the values we hold dear. We would indeed fail them if we let that act deter us from carrying on their mission of brotherhood and peace.” When the even more deadly October blast occurred, President Reagan reiterated his administration’s commitment to the peacekeeping mission. With an election year looming, Reagan, in January 1984, withdrew American forces from Lebanon. The Oct. 23 attack shook the nation to its core. Pundits agreed that the tragedy would mean the end of the Reagan presidency. Other trouble spots were brewing. Little Grenada, an island nation in the Caribbean, had been subject to a Marxist takeover. That country’s prime minister, Maurice Bishop, had been assassinated. Other Caribbean nations asked for the U.S. expeditionary force to overthrow the current regime. An Oct. 25 invasion had been planned.

An angry Marine holds his position after the April attack.

That weekend in late October was surreal. President Reagan and his aides were in Augusta, GA, all while finalizing the invasion plans. Reagan and Secretary of State George P. Shultz were playing a round of golf at the legendary Augusta National golf course, home to the Masters. A deranged local trespassed the course and was quickly apprehended. When news of the terrorist attack hit, the Reaganites briefly contemplated canceling the Grenada operation. The invasion was a success. Reagan’s popularity ticked upward significantly. Was Grenada a response to Beirut? It had been planned all along. Forty years later, bitterness over the Beirut tragedy lingers. Recently, survivors spoke to VFW News, expressing outrage and frustration. David Madaras, a former Marine of C Battery, 1st Bn., 10th Marines, recalled seeing two men carrying a stretcher. “Initially, my sight was drawn by the sun’s almost blinding reflection coming from a shiny belt buckle cinched around the waist of the stretcher’s cargo,” said Madaras, a member of VFW Post 9862 in Gaithersburg, MD. “What makes the image so unforgettable is that there was no body above the belt buckle.” “I watched, sickened by a feeling of helplessness, as he [the Marine] received his last rites,” Madaras added. “Our efforts to free him were futile. I can still see his body becoming lifeless and hanging limp as he lost his struggle to survive.” John Evans, a member of VFW Post 201 in Waterbury, CT was in Beirut as part of 3rd Bn., 8th Marines. Evans protested that the peacekeeping forces were not able to sufficiently perform their stated duties. “Marines are trained to be aggressive,” Evans said. “Hell, we couldn’t even lock and load.” Once the mission was completed, 238 Marines had died and 151 had been wounded, including 23 brave New Yorkers.

The Mamas & The Papas: Relive The Glory Days JOSEPH SCOTCHIE jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

n Nov. 8, from 1 to 2:30 p.m., the Bryant Library will feature a lecture by Keith Crocker on The Mamas & the Papas, the legendary Los Angeles-based band that debuted during the heady days of the late 1960s. The lecture is online only. The Mamas & the Papas were a folk rock vocal group which recorded and performed from 1965 to 1968. The group was a defining force in the music scene of the counterculture of the 1960s. Formed in Los Angeles, the group consisted of Americans John Phillips, Cass Elliot, Michelle Phillips, and Canadian Denny Doherty. The lecture will include footage of the group and will be screened as well. Led by John Phillips, the group was at the forefront of the emerging folk rock scene, one inspired by Bob Dylan’s turn to electric music from his previous folk music performance. Music by Simon and Garfunkel, The Bryds, and The Lovin’ Spoonful also contributed to this creative period. From 1965 to 1968, the band released five studio albums and 17 singles, selling up to 40 million records worldwide. Its members

were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. The group is best-known for the hit, “California Dreaming” which became an anthem, plus “Monday, Monday,” “Dedicated to the One I Love,” and “Dream A Little Dream of Me.” The band was the result of a merger between two folk groups, The New Journeymen and The Mugwumps. John and Michelle Phillips were married. Their daughter Chynna Phillips became part of The Mamas & the Papas, a successful trio. The band had a successful but stormy history. Michelle Phillips was involved in extramarital affairs. Her husband suffered for years from drug addiction. John Phillips was the group’s key songwriter and driving force. With Denny Doherty, he wrote “I Saw Her Again” about a liaison between Michelle and Doherty. Michelle was soon fired from the band and replaced by Jill Gibson. In time, Cass Elliot would become the face of the band. Her success prompted her to pursue a solo career, which she did beginning in 1968. That career produced such hits as “Make Your Own Kind of Music.” Tragically, Elliot, who battled with obesity throughout her abbreviated life, died in 1974 of heart failure while touring in England. Turmoil continued to surround the band. As did its ongoing popularity. In 1966, Michelle Phillips rejoined the band. A

Life is a Journey

year later, they performed at the Monterey International Pop Festival, the precursor to the 1969 Woodstock three-day outdoor concert. In August 1967 came the band’s last hurrah: A sold-out performance in front of 18,000 people at The Hollywood Bowl, one that featured Jimi Hendrix as the opening act. Following Cass Elliot’s departure, the band was never the same. The quartet branched out into solo careers before attempting a reunion in 1980. Ahead was the induction to the Hall of Fame, memoirs and documentaries and songs that still live, all of which will be covered in Crocker’s lecture. The library is at 2 Paper Mill Rd.

Time Stands Still For Geddy Lee In New Memoir that befell our bandmate Neil Peart. Those were difficult and delicate things to write (Photo by Richard Sibbald) about and I had to be faithful to the truth, but at the same time, faithful to his memory. And not to expose something that I felt he wouldn’t be happy seeing in print. So that was a tough job.” With the public ready to devour his memoir, Lee is embarking on a 13-city book tour that will feature the 70-year-old multi-instrumentalist reading passages from the book, sharing stories, getting joined on stage by different guest interviewers and taking questions from the audience. Having done a version of this during the Book of Bass born Gary Lee Weinrib whose life journey promotional cycle, Lee wanted more of the began in suburban Ontario as the son of same with a twist.

n his 2006 autobiography Let Me Finish, storied baseball writer Roger Angell wrote, “Life is tough and brimming with loss, and the most we can do about it is to glimpse ourselves clear now and then, and find out what we feel about familiar scenes and recurring faces this time around.” So it goes with Geddy Lee, whose newly released memoir, My Effin’ Life, is just hitting book shelves. Best known as the Grammy-nominated, bass-playing founding member of power trio Rush, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer is admittedly someone far more comfortable looking forward rather than gazing into the past. But it was out of loss that prompted the native Canadian to reconsider this position. “First of all, I had just lost my dear friend and bandmate of many, many years—Neil Peart,” he explained. “So that put me in a sad and reflective mood. I was also just locked down in our first pandemic lockdown in Toronto and was kind of alone with my thoughts and doing my own grief work. At the same time, I had noticed that my mother was slipping farther and farther into dementia and it was very clear to me that she was losing her memory. Those two things combined got me thinking about how tenuous the grip we have on our gray cells is and maybe it’s an idea for me to start putting them down on paper. So to make a rather long story short, the solitude of the pandemic lockdown gave me the opportunity to go down that road.” Having already published the 2018 coffee table book, Geddy Lee’s Big Beautiful Book of Bass, Lee was already familiar with and

fond of the writing process (“it was a nice change of pace from my day job of wrestling with notes”), Lee spent two years hammering out what was initially a 1,200-page manuscript. “I started writing in bits because it all started out as a challenge from Daniel Richler, who had co-written my first book,” Lee recalled. “He lives in London, so we were trying to keep ourselves from getting bored by talking on the phone quite often or doing Zoom calls. He sent me some very short stories he had written about some memories he had of his dad. His father was the great Canadian author Mordechai Richler, so he had a rich wealth of memories he was putting down on paper. He’d send me a story and then he’d challenge me to write him back a short story about a memory I had about my dad. I did that and over that first lockdown summer, he started noticing that my responses were getting longer than his and he said, ‘I think you’re writing a book.’ I told him I’d write this book, but he had to help me and of course, he was happy to do so.” The result is a touching and often humorous narrative that traced the life of the man
