Celebrating Kings and Hanukkah
honorees has distinguished
themselves, and it was my privilege
to bring them together
at what I call the “Ultimate
Networking Event”!
As a bonus, News 12 Long
Island reporter extraordinaire
Antoinette Biordi was recognized
as our “Communications
Heroine.” She also helped me
emcee the powerful event.
I wanted to publicly recognize
my team Joanna, Elizabeth,
Megan, Toni, Ruth, Sheila,
Keith, Chris, Bob, Ralph and
Brian. It certainly takes a team
to accomplish such joy!
And speaking of joy, we’re
now into the celebration of
Hanukkah, eight days that commemorate
the miracle of the

miraculously, the candles kept
burning for eight days.
Traditionally, our family has
a party for the children who
delight in opening their gifts,
playing the “dreidel game” and
eating the traditional potato
pancakes called latkes. We had a
treasured time together!
But amidst celebrations, we suffered
losses of special people in
our community, including devoted
State Senator Jose Peralta,
New York Community Bank’s
beloved Lucy Hossain, Sarah
Pecker’s husband and respected
attorney Marvin Skedelsky and
Don Capalbi, beloved by all, of
Congresswoman Grace Meng’s
office. We lost them all too soon.
I hope their loved ones have the
courage to carry on, and realize
their loved ones will always be
in their hearts. They may have
left us physically, but their spirit
is with us, inspiring us, and we
will remember them always and
the impact that they made on
our lives.

Heart health advice
At our Kings of Long
Island event, we honored
cardiologist Dr.
Perry Frankel, who endorsed
the advise I’m sharing. It could
save your life!
Let’s say it’s 7:25 p.m. and
you’re going home (alone of
course) after an unusually hard
day on the job. You’re really tired,
upset and frustrated.
Suddenly, you start experiencing
severe pain in your chest that
starts to drag out into your arm
and up in to your jaw. You are only
a short distance from the hospital.
Unfortunately you don’t know
if you’ll be able to make it that far.
You have been trained in
CPR, but the guy who taught the
course did not tell you how to
perform it on yourself.
How do you survive a heart
attack while alone? Many people
are alone when they suffer a
heart attack. Without help, the
person whose heart is beating
improperly and who begins to feel
faint, has only about 10 seconds
left before losing consciousness.
However, these victims can
help themselves by coughing
repeatedly and very vigorously.
A deep breath should be taken
before each cough, and the cough
must be deep and prolonged, as
when producing sputum from
deep inside the chest.
A breath and a cough must be
repeated about every two seconds
arrives, or until the heart is felt to
be beating normally again.
Deep breaths get oxygen into
the lungs and coughing movements
keep the blood circulating. The
squeezing pressure on the heart
also helps it regain normal
rhythm. In this way, heart attack
victims can get to a hospital.
Tell as many other people as
possible about this. It could save
their lives!

My heart swelled as I
watched our Kings of
Long Island proudly
walk, dance, strut, laugh and
love every moment of their recognition
on Nov. 29 at the stunning
Leonard’s Palazzo in Great
Neck.
Thanks to my magnificent
staff, who identified powerful group men
who have successfully
run their careers
and also found
time to give back
to their communities.
