Crew Team Celebrates 20th Anniversary BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

nside the massive boathouse astride the North Hempstead Beach Park parking lot in Port Washington is an impressive display of trophies. Among these are nine national and 30 state championships garnered by the Manhasset High School crew program. It is properly a club, not a school-supported varsity team, and travels widely during its fall competitive season. Crew team members do a lot of fundraising; a shell (which can reach 60 feet and fit eight), noted Steve Panzik, the program director, can cost about $40,000. It has a separate fundraising arm, Friends of Manhasset Crew, complete with a board of directors and IRS recognition as a tax-exempt non-profit. Visit www. manhassetcrew.org to learn more. The boathouse was erected in conjunction with the Town of North Hempstead, which owns the property, but is maintained by the program. There are about 15 crew teams on Long Island, according to Panzik. Most are associated with schools, but there are also clubs that recruit widely. Panzik has more than 20 years of coaching experience and competed for the national team and at Temple University, winning two Big East team titles. At Temple, he met Shaz Dadgar of Manhasset, who played collegiate lacrosse. The couple moved back to Manhasset, where she has deep roots. Steve was soon recruited to help out with the crew program, started by Maura Connolly and Jim Judge in 2001. The website described the “humble beginnings,” with three boats, a shipping container and 17 participants. Now there is a full complement of boats and dozens of members. Panzik said the team practices in Hempstead Harbor and hosts the Long Island championship regatta there. “It’s a beautiful place for competition,” Panzik noted, “depending on the tides and how the wind is blowing.” Aside from Panzik, the coaching staff consists of Patrick Mills (novice), Jennifer Hagedorn (Middle School), Chris Mare (women’s varsity), Tom Keegan (men’s varsity) and Sean Schulich (varsity assistant). The following season summaries were written by the respective coaches:

Eighth Grade

This year we had the biggest eighth grade crew in program history, with many of the kids having some prior rowing experience. After a month on the water, a few kids from the crew had a chance to race with the novices at the annual Row to Fight. In the boys novice 8+, Calvin Shim, Dylan Tanzi, and Matteo Sokolof helped bring the boat to a second place finish. In the girls novice 8+, Colleen Barcelona, Stephanie Sze, and Adriana Chan helped the novice girls get their first win of the season. To finish out the season on Nov. 6,

the eighth graders got to show each other what they’ve accomplished with a boys versus girls race. After two close wins for the girls, the crews had fun in mixed lineups. Though the season for the eighthgraders ended on the 6th, some of the girls traveled to Riverhead for the Snowflake Regatta on the 7th. Christiana Tsekouras stepped up to cox a tough course in the girls novice 4+, finishing fourth. The crew clocked in four seconds off from third place. In the same race, Colleen Barcelona helped the other boat snag first place, coming in almost a minute faster

than second place. To end the day, the girls novice 8+ came out on top, with eighth-grader Alexandra Frangiskatos rowing in bow. All in all, it was a great season and I am looking forward to what these new rowers will accomplish this spring season.

Novice

Throughout the past year-anda-half, sports have looked a little different than they have in previous years, with rowing being no exception. The majority of the freshman girls and boys began their rowing careers during the pandemic while they were in eighth grade. One could assume they were seeking a way to get out of their houses and interact with their peers. Regardless, each of these athletes learned the sport of rowing with necessary precautions such as masks, temperature checks and social distancing ,and have decided to return as novice with the addition of some new faces that share the same enthusiasm! Thankfully, this season did not require those precautions. Over the fall 2021 season, we were excited to be able to return to traveling as a team at regattas such as Head of the Fish. In addition to that, we tried something new. We sent just the novice squads to select regattas, this allowed for the kids to get some additional race experience

LETTER TO THE EDITOR INCLUSIVE VERSUS EXCLUSIVE GRADUATION Editor’s note: The Manhasset School District Board of Education, at its Dec. 2 meeting, declined senior Hunter Panzik’s request to move its commencement from Friday, June 24, 2022 to Saturday, June 18. Panzik had been recruited by the U.S. Air Force Academy and is slated to begin basic training on June 23—one day before the commencement ceremony. Steven Panzik, Hunter’s father, continues to seek to have the date changed. Here’s another letter he submitted for publication, based on public comment before the board at its Dec. 16 meeting. How do other schools pull off early graduation? Other school districts’ (i.e. Cold Spring Harbor, Wheatley) standards are “inclusive” graduations and do not want to embarrass a child or family by missing graduation. Less than 5 percent may need to return for an additional test. However, the guidance and faculty work privately with those students and families to make sure he or she successfully completes the Regents or local diploma requirements by the end of summer. However, the student still gets to share the moment of graduation with peers and family, instead of solo at the end of August. The stress, anxiety,

CREW from page 3 under their belts; this happened two times throughout the season, first at the Overpeck Fall Classic and then at the Snowflake Regatta. Each of these regattas were an outstanding success and they truly stepped up to the challenge and medaled in multiple events.

Varsity Boys

The fall 2021 season was one to remember. Coming off well over a year of COVID-related challenges which prevented competing most effectively and at the highest level, the rowers were excited and anxious to get back to normal. Many familiar faces returned to continue their rowing ventures as these athletes entered their junior and senior years of high school. However, there were countless new rowers who joined the varsity squad with enthusiasm and an appetite for learning and bettering themselves as athletes. The team also saw the addition of new members to the experienced coaching staff who were able to give new perspectives in the ways they taught and lead the team. The team traveled to multiple regattas in different states and cities,

often competing against some of the best teams in the nation. The Head of the Charles Regatta, for example, boasts hundreds of teams from across the country with Manhasset competing in the Men’s 8+ category as well as both the Men’s and Women’s coxed quad races. All rowers competed to the best of their abilities and the Men’s coxed quad managed to secure a top 50 percent position, which automatically requalifies the team for the next year. More lighthearted regattas, such as the Head of the Fish, saw rowers of all ages come together to enjoy the sport they love in freezing conditions. Overall, the team had an interesting season that saw new rowers rise to prominence as the team worked together, day after day, to make each other better.

Varsity Girls

With almost a year-and-a-half without attending any regattas, the fall 2021 season was the first step on returning to a “normal” schedule for the girls. With much excitement and enthusiasm, we were ready to get underway. Our first race brought us to Boston, Massachusetts for the CRI Regatta, facing some of the Northeast

competition nearby. In the Varsity 4+ we placed eighth and 14th of 27 entries. This was a great first test for the squad early in the season to set expectations. Our next big regatta was the Head of the Housatonic in Shelton, CT. While there were not a large amount of entries for this race, the quality of boats made for great competition. Our Varsity 4+ placed ninth, narrowly missing advancement of a few places by 1 second. Mid-season brought us to the Head of the Charles in Boston. This race attracts competition from around the country and the world. We were very fortunate to receive a bid (Youth 4+x) and we made the most of it. Having started at Bow 50 of 52, made for a challenge to our squad. However, they performed well, passing several boats and placing 28th in the category. Our next race brought us to the Head of the Fish in Saratoga Springs. This regatta is always a nice way to bring everyone down from the intensity and cap off the fall. Our Varsity 4+ finished 10th and our 2nd 4+ placed fifth overall in their categories. Breaking away from the regular

entries we also decided to bring the varsity girls and boys together to compete in the Mixed 4x category, where they placed on the podium in third place. Finally, we wrapped up our season with the Philly Frostbite Regatta which was held in West Windsor, NJ this year. While most regattas on this part of the calendar are geared towards long distance, this competition is a change of pace, where each flight is head-to-head over 2,000 meters. While most of the racing was cancelled due to inclement weather, we were able to get our early heats off in the Varsity 2x, where we placed fifth and sixth overall in the category, with one winning their heat. Overall, our athletes did a great job, taking on programs three times their size, demonstrating their competitive spirit. With this season behind us, we certainly are looking forward to spring. Our training continues this winter, indoors.

It Was Not All Smooth Sailing In North Hempstead Transition

BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

own of North Hempstead Supervisor Jennifer DeSena was sworn in on Jan. 2, and will find out during her first week in office the number of staff she is entitled to. It’s been a bone of contention between DeSena and the town’s Democratic majority, and has resulted in conflicting press releases. DeSena had expected that the supervisor’s office would retain the positions agreed to in the 2022 budget. But at a Dec. 15 press conference she charged that during the transition she was told that the number of staff positions under her control would be cut while the majority planned to increase its members’ staff budget. Village of Mineola Clerk Joe Scalero, who was appointed deputy supervisor and chief of staff by DeSena, told the Manhasset Press that the number of positions under the supervisor’s purview did not jibe with what was in the budget, “and that is why Jen and I decided to have this press conference.” DeSena, a registered Democrat running on the Republican line, defeated political veteran and Town of North Hempstead Clerk Wayne Wink to replace the retiring Supervisor Judi Bosworth. Democrats now hold a 4-3 majority on the town council. In a press release after the conference, DeSena called the planned changes to the 2022 budget adopted October 28, 2021, “deceitful to taxpayers and the incoming administration.” She added, “Supervisor Bosworth was proud to announce that her budget was adopted before Election Day, properly signaling that politics has no place in our government’s budget,” and noted that changes to the budget “signal that politics has been allowed to corrupt the governmental process.” Asked to respond to DeSena’s charges, the town released the following statement by Councilwoman Veronica Lurvey: “We don’t understand the basis of the statements from the supervisor-elect. There have been absolutely no decisions regarding staffing levels or budget modifications. We look forward to working collaboratively with the supervisor-elect, and we hope that she will talk to us directly rather than using the media to deliver partisan political statements. We have much to do together on behalf of our residents. We call upon the supervisor-elect not to bring the dysfunction we see every day in Washington into our Town Hall.”

Students Gather For Festive Activity

he STAR Club at Manhasset Secondary School partnered with high school students for a fun, festive after-school event. Students came together in the cafeteria to make their own gingerbread houses. They were broken up into six teams for some friendly competition, to see which teams could finish their gingerbread houses within a time limit. The activity brought together all ages of Secondary School students, promoting inclusivity which is aligned with the district’s goals.

Temple Judea Hosts Mets Book Author Devin Gordon, author of a new book recalling the amusing five-decade history of the New York Mets, recently spoke with fans on a Zoom call hosted by the Brotherhood of Temple Judea in Manhasset. Gordon shared several anecdotes from his book, So Many Ways To Lose: The Amazin’ True Story of the New York Mets—The Best Worst Team In Sports. Host Stanley Goldklang, president of the Temple Judea Brotherhood, asked Gordon to capsulize his book. “This book is about losing,” said Gordon, who supported the case for his book’s title. It describes many notable mistakes the Mets have made over the years—on and off the field. This is no mockery, he assured his audience. Gordon, wearing a Mets jersey, described himself as a lifelong, enthusiastic Mets fan. Having written for Newsweek and GQ magazines, Gordon also had written a story about the Mets’ stellar SNY broadcasting trio for The New York Times. From that, his agent hatched the idea of penning a book that would reminisce about Flushing’s lovable losers. The hour-long interview and Q&A provided an amusing and enjoyable inside foray into the mistakes,

misreadings and miscalculations of the Mets players and managers. Gordon drew chuckles when he recalled that during Casey Stengel’s years as the first Mets manager, he urged fans to “come out and see my Amazin’ Mets. I’ve been in this game a hundred years, but I see new ways to lose I never knew existed before.” It was a rollicking evening, and some fans shared their own experiences at Mets games. At the culmination of the meeting, the attendees were asked to hold up

Lab Teaches About Estuaries, Nutrients Shelter Rock sixth-graders learned about estuaries, a habitat where fresh water meets salt water, during a hands-on science lesson. In what was dubbed, the “Pepper Lab,” sixth-graders created their own model of an estuary using fresh water, salt water and brackish—a mixture of the two. They were able to observe how the different types of water separated into layers based on density. Students then placed different sizes of pepper into the water,

representing the different sizes of nutrients found in an estuary. They found that the larger pieces went to the bottom with the salt water, while the smaller pieces of ground-up pepper stayed at the top. The lab gave students the opportunity to visualize how the size of nutrients affects their placement. In addition, students learned about the importance of protecting estuaries and their diverse populations. —Submitted by Manhasset Public Schools

TOPISLAND STORY AROUND LONG

There’s A New Variant In Town Omicron’s more virulent, but tempered by vaccines

BY FRANK RIZZO

e’ve seen this movie before. Broadway shows have gone dark. Big musical acts reschedule their concerts. Thousands of flights are canceled. Major sports leagues delay games. Health care workers suffer burnout and leave the field as hospitals in some areas are overwhelmed with infected patients. Debates reignite over masks, and whether students should be masked in the classroom—or return at all. These issues and much more are swirling again as the Delta variant is overtaken by the Omicron variety as the leading cause of infection and death. According to the CDC, “The Omicron variant causes more infections and spreads faster than early forms of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.” Every graph of cases, hospitalizations and deaths showed the lines rising up sharply in the last weeks of 2021 and experts expect it to continue as the new year unfolds. Anton Media Group recently interviewed Northwell Health’s David Hirschwerk, MD, infectious disease specialist and medical director at North Shore University Hospital. Why are so many people who are fully vaccinated and have had their booster shots getting breakthrough infections? The Omicron strain is far more contagious than any of the strains that we’ve dealt with. The vaccines remain very effective at preventing severe illness and they do remain effective at preventing infection, but it’s not 100 percent and over time the vaccine effectiveness does wane. Fortunately, the boosters do help to restore the effectiveness of the vaccines. Any indication of how long the booster shots will effectively protect against possible variants? That’s a question that we really don’t know the answer to just yet. Because people have just recently started to get the booster. We do know that the booster is effective at reducing the risk of Omicron by about 70 percent and reducing the risk of developing severe illness from Omicron by around 90 percent. But in terms of the duration we don’t know that. Do the antigen (rapid) and PCR tests determine what kind of variant it is? They don’t check to see what type of variant it is. That information comes from state laboratories that are performing tests on a certain percentage of samples and deriving the data from that. How do Omicron symptoms differ from the common cold or Delta variant? Is there any easy way to distinguish? There’s not. Currently the experience with Omicron is that people in general have not had as severe illness. But that largely is in patients that have been vaccinated. I think we don’t

Q A Q A Q A Q A

so long as the symptoms have been improving. How would you assess this latest CDC directive? Does it jibe with what you’ve seen in real life in hospital wards? Well, hospitals are a little bit different because many patients remain sick after five days and cannot come out of isolation. These recommendations predominantly are for people who are not sick enough to require hospitalization. The decision is being made on both the public health perspective as well as a scientific perspective with the recognition that most infections occur within the first couple of days of the onset of symptoms. Transmission can occur after five days, but it’s less common and that’s the reason that masks are recommended after five days. And even if you have not been vaccinated and wind up in the hospital, are there are medicines that can effectively treat the symptoms of COVID-19? There are medications that can be used, but by far the most important thing that people can do is to get vaccinated. The medications are no substitute for vaccinations. Depending on what one’s risk factors are and some other clinical characteristics of the person, they may be eligible for certain medications, including monoclonal antibodies and antiviral pill that are just arriving as we speak (referring to the recently FDAapproved Pfizer pill). This variant seems to have come out of nowhere. Is there a fear that there’s another variant lurking that our science won’t be able to handle? Should we anticipate the arrival of new strains not being able to be neutralized by the current vaccine? Yeah, I think that is a possibility. The good news so far is that our current vaccines have been successful at neutralizing all variants, and even though they have not been able to neutralize Omicron to the same extent as previous variants, they do remain effective at reducing the risk of severe illness. The producers of the vaccines do have the capacity and the ability to adjust the makeup of the vaccines as time goes on if that turns out to be necessary. Do you think the hospital systems, at least here in the metropolitan area, can handle the influx of cases with this new surge? I think our health systems are prepared to be able to flex up to expand the number of patients that we need to take care of to meet the demands. I do have concerns about our health care workers and the strain that we’ve been under for almost two years at this point. I’m certainly looking forward to getting to the other side of this Omicron surge and hope that we don’t have another similar surge going forward.

There are medications that can be used, but by far the most important thing that people can do is to get vaccinated. — David Hirschwerk, MD

know all the final answers to that question at this point. Overall, people are seemingly having less severe symptoms. That may be because there are large numbers of people that are vaccinated and also could be that there have been people who have had prior infections who have some small degree of immunity that helps to protect somewhat against Omicron. Whether or not it’s the virus variant itself that is just less harmful, again we don’t really know the answer to that. After you test positive and isolate, when should you get tested again? Is there any hard and fast rule about that? In general, there is no reason to repeat the test when somebody has a positive test. They should remain isolated. The number of days [in isolation] is actually being shortened. The CDC just made an announcement yesterday [Dec. 27] that recommends five days of isolation after the onset of the symptoms, and then you can come out of isolation, but wear a mask for another five days

Retired Plainview Teacher Continues To Develop Children Books

BY NATALIA VENTURA

nventura@antonmediagroup.com

ormer elementary Plainview teacher Joel Rauch recently released his second children’s book, What Do You Get?, which can be found on Amazon. When asked how publishing the first book changed his writing process for the second book, Rauch stated, “I wanted to try and do something different. The second book is geared towards older children and is interactive.” It is important to Rauch to give back to his community, especially to Mid Island Y JCC. The proceeds he makes from his books go to the community center. “I owe the Mid Island Y JCC a lot for allowing me to befriend the amazing people there through their pickleball program. I am a pickleball coordinator there now,” said Rauch. His time as a teacher for fourth and fifth grade also left a lasting impression in one of his former student’s lives. “I received the most flattering call two days ago from a boy

who was in my class when he was 11 years old. He is now 25 and his comment was ‘Thank you for believing in me. You changed my life’.” That moment was a very humbling experience for Rauch. Rauch is inspired by Dr. Seuss, and believes in strongly projecting emotions into his writing. “In order to project a feeling that will translate to

Close up of Joel Rauch’s new children’s book. readers, it has to be heartfelt or it will not resonate. Write what’s in your heart. Don’t let others dissuade you from following your own path.” There is a favorite moment and illustration in his new book that is dedicated to his four grandchildren, and to the illustrator Bridget Bick who is legally blind. “She is amazing and it’s quite a story in itself.”

He learned at an early age that language has power, and “that the pen is mightier than the sword. Using your wit and sense of humor is far better than using your fists to avoid trouble. You have to outthink any adversarial situations in your life.” There are moments Rauch experiences writer’s block, but there are ways he keeps his

creativity flowing. “I also write song lyrics with my longtime friend and they are on Youtube, Spotify, Pandora, Deezer, etc. I also have written essays that have appeared in Newsday and The United States Pickleball Association website. Diversity keeps me sharper than just one avenue of creativity.” He has written five other children’s books, “each with a lesson or a moral such as good sportsmanship, sharing, recycling, and not judging others on how they look.” The second book took more than a month to finish developing, compared to about a month for the first book. This is because Rauch “had to come up with all the Krazee Kreations.” His readers can even send him their own Krazee Kreations to MyKrazeeKreations@gmail.com, and they will be placed on their website, www.WhatDoYouGet. net.

Syosset Student Speaks Out At UN Summit

More than 100 world leaders and 30,000 delegates were in attendance BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF editorial@antonmediagroup.com

Syosset student Sabrina Guo had the opportunity to represent Long Island at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, UK. Guo entered an international poetry competition, Poems to Solve the Climate Crisis Challenge, managed by The Poetry Society of UK’s global Young Poets Network partnered with People Need Nature. Poets aged 7-25 from 23 countries worldwide sent poem submissions. “I’m the youngest global winner and was invited to speak out against climate injustice and

perform my winning poetry at the 2021 UN Climate Change Conference,” Guo stated. There were travel restrictions due to COVID-19; those who won from outside of the UK could only virtually participate. “I am extremely proud to represent the USA and put my hometown, the Town of Oyster Bay, on the world map in a UN Global Summit,” said Guo. “My winning work is inspired by all those in my community who tirelessly worked to keep our neighborhoods clean, beautiful and green. My poem is a tribute to our sanitation workers and custodians who have received none to little recognition throughout this

COVID on the job.” She has firsthand experience with seeing the effects of climate change on a daily basis because her hometown contains the most contaminated drinking water in New York State. Guo seeks to shine light on the effects of climate change on people who are more vulnerable, and lack the necessary resources to manage such change. Sir David Attenborough, a Sabrina Guo speaks out at world renowned broadcaster UN Summit, and performs and natural historian, had her winning poem.

Glen Cove Hospital Earns Highest National Accreditation For Geriatric Care

Glen Cove is the only community hospital in New York State with Level 1 status, and 19th in the nation to receive certification

n recognition of excellence toward caring for patients aged 65 and older, Glen Cove Hospital’s emergency department (ED) has earned top accreditation by the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) for its expertise in treating geriatric patients. Glen Cove, a member of Northwell Health, is the only community hospital in New York State and the 19th in the United States and Canada to earn ACEP’s Level 1 gold status, which requires hospitals to meet more than two dozen requirements and best practices related to providing quality care for older adults. Key areas include: Staffing and education, a geriatric social worker dedicated to the ED, standardized geriatric-focused policies and procedures, quality improvement and outcomes measurement, equipment and supplies and the physical environment.

“We know elderly patients enter the emergency department with several chronic conditions and often take multiple medications, coupled with complex social issues,” said John Colletta, MD, chair of the emergency department at Glen Cove Hospital. “Achieving the Level 1 ACEP accreditation demonstrates to patients, family members and the community that we have the most educated and advanced providers delivering the best care to older adults in the ED. We provide seamless continuing care for patients requiring inpatient care as well as outpatient referrals by our social worker to ensure ideal transitions of care and follow up with our specialized providers.” The multidisciplinary geriatric team includes physicians, nurses, pharmacists, psychiatrists, dieticians, social workers, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other specialists to ensure full-service care. “This outstanding achievement was made possible by the close collaboration between our dedicated emergency department champions and staff and the unwavering support of Northwell Health’s leadership in emergency medicine and geriatric and palliative care,” said Kerri Anne Scanlon, RN, the hospi-

tal’s executive director. Dr. Colletta noted several upgrades to the physical environment were made for safety and enhanced care. Already equipped with private ED treatment rooms, Glen Cove dedicated four rooms to geriatric care – with more to be added soon, with increased precautions against COVID-19. Windowed rooms provided natural light and subdued lighting, helpful for any patients with dementia, and large wall clocks and non-skid floors were installed. Comfortable recliners are in each room for patients or visitors. Recent initiatives at Glen Cove Hospital to strengthen geriatric care not only includes bolstering senior-friendly measures in the ED, but creating geriatric excellence programs and centers of surgical excellence. The hospital has been designated an Age-Friendly Health System by The John A. Hartford Foundation and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, which offers an innovative program for patients with Parkinson’s disease and opened a hospital-based caregiver center. In the future, the hospital will add geriatricians to its ambulatory care service. —Submitted by Glen Cove Hospital

Roslyn Landmark Society Receives Contribution From Daughter Of Long-Time Village Justice

oslyn Landmark Society recently received a generous contribution from Janet Schechter, a Roslyn native and daughter of long-time Village of Roslyn judge, the Honorable Nathan Stern. “I’m pleased to give this gift to the Roslyn Grist Mill project my father was dedicated to Roslyn for many years. It only seemed fitting to honor him in this way,” said Schechter. Stern served as a village justice for 44 consecutive years, longer than any of his three predecessors. After graduating from Brooklyn Law School in 1938, Stern started his law practice in his native Brooklyn. Judge Stern moved to Roslyn and began serving the Village of Roslyn. Judge Stern passed away in 2002. In November, Schechter visited Roslyn for a tour of the mill. Landmark’s Executive

Said Lister, “We would like to thank Janet Schechter for her wonderful support in memory of her father, who served an important judicial role for our village for so many years.” The Roslyn Grist Mill is a rare surviving Dutch-framed watermill built between 1715 and 1741. It operated as a working water mill for over 150 years. On April 24, 1790, the mill’s owner, Hendrick Onderdonk, was visited by President George Washington who referred to the mill in his diary. From 1920 to 1974, the mill building served as a tea house and was a village tourist attraction. The building was placed on the National Historic Register of Historic Places in 1986. —Submitted by the Roslyn Landmark Society

illions of adult children recently spent time with their families, visiting home for the holidays. For some, this may have been their first time home in a while, and they could have been surprised to see just how much their elderly parents have aged.

Daniel Elliot explains, “Many times we see an avoidance of certain rooms used at home which usually signals an issue but can easily be remedied, restoring their freedom and full use of the house.” “There is a large emotional dimension to aging in place. Seniors want choices about how and where they age” continued Elliot. “Remaining in their homes provides independence and familiarity, which many times, leads to living a longer, happier life.” Visit www.jukeboxhealth.com for more information about Jukebox Health.

2021 Has Ended In My Opinion It was a year filled with ups and downs and one can only hope that 2022 will be a better one. I am happy to see it put into the record books. It was an interesting year for the liver and I’d like to highlight what we have seen. The number of cases of alcohol related liver disease continued to soar, even surpassing the meteoric rise seen in 2020, with hospitalizations up by 200 to 300 percent in all parts of the country. In addition to these numbers, which are alarming, the number of people in their 20s and 30s admitted with alcoholic hepatitis and decompensated cirrhosis from alcohol has increased more than in any other age group. Much of this is directly related to the COVID pandemic and is felt to be due to various combinations of depression, loneliness and the lack of the ability to go out and socialize as well as an increase in people working from home and not having to be concerned about drinking and commuting. Caring for this population is challenging due to the lack of resources available to most to get the addiction and psychosocial counseling needed to combat this illness, stop drinking and get on the road to recovery. Many of these young people will eventually need

January Is Thyroid Awareness Month BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

anuary is Thyroid Awareness Month. Your thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in your neck, just above your collarbone. It is one of your endocrine glands, which make hormones. Thyroid hormones control the rate of many activities in your body. These include how fast you burn calories and how fast your heart beats. All of these activities are your body’s metabolism. Thyroid problems include: • Goiter—enlargement of the thyroid gland • Hyperthyroidism—when your thyroid gland makes more thyroid hormones than your body needs • Hypothyroidism—when your thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormones • Thyroid cancer • Thyroid nodules—lumps in the thyroid gland • Thyroiditis—swelling of the thyroid Who is at risk? Thyroid dysfunction is very common throughout the world, especially in women. Why women are more at risk than men is not fully understood, but they are not only more likely to have thyroid problems, but also develop them earlier in life. Certain times in a woman’s life make her more vulnerable to thyroid problems, including during puberty, at first menstruation, during pregnancy, within six months of giving birth and during menopause. Regardless of your gender, you are at risk of thyroid dysfunctions if you: • Have a family history of thyroid problems • Have an autoimmune disease such as type 1 diabetes • Are over the age of 50 • Have had thyroid surgery • Have Down or Turner’s syndrome Nearly 59 million Americans suffer from thyroid problems, but the majority do not even know they are affected. People who have had radiation treatments or whose necks have been exposed to x-rays are also more likely to suffer from thyroid problems. Interestingly Caucasian and Asian people are three times more at risk if compared to other populations. Visit the American Thyroid Association (www.thyroid.org) or the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (www.thyroidawareness.org) for more information.

This home at 15 Hilton Ave. in Garden City Park sold on Dec. 15 for $749,000.

Radon gas is becoming more of a widespread problem in the United States. In the U.S., one in 15 homes is affected by elevated radon levels. Radon cannot be seen, it has no scent, and is colorless. Radon invades homes and buildings through foundation cracks and openings and even directly through concrete. Radon gas is considered a carcinogen that comes from decayed radium and uranium in the soil. It is the no. 1 cause of lung cancer in non-smokers and causes people that do smoke greater chance of being diagnosed with lung cancer when exposed to this deadly gas. The EPA suggests levels of 4 (pCi/L) picocuries and above be addressed. Levels of 4 pCi/L is equivalent to eight cigarettes a day or 250 chest x-rays per year. World Health Organization (WHO) states that 3 percent and 14 percent of lung cancer cases are caused by radon, and suggests people

take action against levels higher than 2.7 pCi/L. The purpose of National Radon Action Month is to educate people about the health risks of radon, learning about radon gas itself, and also to inform everyone how to test their homes for radon and what actions need to be taken if there are high levels of radon present. Radon is a problem that affects millions of homes, daycares, schools, and buildings across the country. This is the time to get informed in order to stay safe and healthy in the place you spend most of your time. Check with your local health department and home improvement store for radon test kits. For New York state’s Department of Health radon information page, including instructions about ordering a radon test kit, visit www.health.ny.gov/ environmental/radiological/ radon/radon.htm or call 518-402-7556.

Some short-term radon testing kits are small canisters.

EDITORIAL OUR OPINION The Emperor Has No Clothes As the world welcomes 2022, technology continues to pace society at a breakneck speed. In the past two decades, all these advancements—be it The Cloud, social media, smart phones or 5G—have taken us places that were previously the domain of sci-fi novels and technological think tanks. Like anything else, these breakthroughs have proved to be a double-edged sword. While we’ve been blessed (?) with seemingly unmitigated conveniences, like using apps that allow us to draw up navigation to destinations (Waze), get booze delivered to our doorstep (Drizly) or have free voice and text Internet communication that bypasses phone lines (WhatsApp), what price have we paid? Individual privacy has gone out the window as Facebook and Google have rapaciously gathered

and resold our data while we blithely click yes on electronic waivers packed to the gills with legalese finely wrapped in minuscule fine print just so we can download an app or read a viral article. And while we’re electronically shackled to omnipresent devices, social connectivity is being tossed aside like yesterday’s 8-track tapes (look it up kids if you’re not sure what I’m referencing). Don’t believe me? Next time you’re on mass transit or in a restaurant, look around and see how many people are nose-deep in their phones versus being in the now and holding a conversation with the person they are with. Or if they’re alone, substituting the ability to Tweet, take a selfie or play Candy Crush with the joys of reading a book, newspaper or magazine. Or God forbid–staring off into space to

daydream or self reflect. And all of this is taking place as we are being encouraged to ready ourselves to live in the metaverse, which in layman’s terms, is a persistent online environment facilitated by the use of virtual and augmented reality headsets. In other words, let’s check out of the real world and live in an imaginary one. And along with all of this comes new and exciting developments like bitcoin (let me exchange legal tender for a decentralized digital currency, therefore making me even more reliant on technology. Never mind the fact that this drive towards a cashless society winds up disproportionately disenfranchising lower income folks). Or my favorite–NFTs, which stand for non-fungible tokens. NFTs are a unique and non-interchangeable

unit of data stored on a blockchain, which is a form of digital ledger. It’s generally associated with reproducible digital files like photos, video, audio and artwork and the value comes with it providing a public certificate of authenticity. It all lives online and for myself, far less satisfying as art versus an actual painting, statue or any other traditional medium that I can take in within the comfort of a museum, art gallery or someone’s home. I’m sure there are those more tech-savvy readers who are rolling their eyes (in both real-time and emojis) and dismissing my qualms over the idea of all this technology only serving to drive people apart versus bring them together. But I’d rather live and experience the real world, versus having to do it through a device. —Dave Gil de Rubio

NASSAU COUNTY’S NEGLECT OF OUR AMERICAN FLAG MUST STOP

Director of Production

Until recently, the Nassau County Court Officers were responsible for maintaining the American flag in front of the Mineola Courthouse on Old Country Road. Anyone who has had the opportunity to witness this ceremony can attest that the officers have always afforded our flag all the dignity and respect deserving for such

occasion. Each morning, two uniformed officers would respectfully unfold the flag and hoist it up with solemnity and respect. I have personally witnessed many men and women salute or hold their hand over their hearts during this ceremony. In the afternoon, they would, in turn take it down and fold it in

accordance with guidelines and tradition. Today [Dec. 21], under the control of the County of Nassau, the flag has never been taken down even in inclement weather. In its current state it is torn, tattered, dirty and disrespectfully wrapped around the top of the flagpole. It has been in this condition for weeks. Many of the court

officers, judges, staff and visitors to our courthouse are veterans or have served in the military.

every dollar received from settlements of a class action lawsuit against several opioid manufacturers and pharmacies will go towards prevention, treatment and education programs specifically targeting the opioid epidemic. Without the special fund, the settlement proceeds would be placed into the county’s general fund, where they could be spent for purposes wholly unrelated to the opioid crisis. • As chairman of the Veteran & Senior Affairs Committee and to help combat veterans that are part of the Nassau County government employee workforce and need medical help, especially those suffering from PTSD, I introduced a bill that provides up to an additional five paid days off. This time can be used for VA appointments, physical therapy or psychological or stress-related treatment.

We want to assure you the answer is no. The McCourt & Trudden Funeral Home will remain a family-owned firm offering the same personalized service you have come to count on.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re not aware that you are mentally working out your options, bouncing them from one lobe to the other, yet your synapses are all lit up with solutions. Trust yourself. When you’re zoning out, you’re really working things out. When you’re checking out, you’re actually checking in. TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Learner driver Solution: 16 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Listen inwardly. Your inside voice will have astounding compassion and deeper knowledge than you might expect. This week, the body goes through life like a soldier, and you’ll be grateful for its obedience to your intentions. But it’s the inner life that will make the biggest difference to your experience. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don’t have to choose in the moment to be kind because that’s a choice you made so long ago; it’s now just who you are. Even so, events will challenge your patience or catch you off guard, giving you a refresher course in compassion and further expanding your emotional and social skills.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ve held a certain unfulfilled dream for a long time. You’re now wondering if you would be happier if you were to just give it up. The answer is no, but it’s time to try new things. Consider going at it from a different angle. Brainstorm alternative approaches to making your dream come true. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). To possess a thing doesn’t automatically mean you love it, feel good about it or have confidence about it. Knowing that superficial appearances are often carefully constructed, you’ll choose your compliments and social focus with great care. Your empathy and diplomacy will win trust. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). All your prophesies will not be self-fulfilling. Good. They are not all things you want to manifest. You’re still working on cultivating more positive thoughts. You’ll succeed in this, growing a garden of beautiful ideas this week. As for the thoughts you don’t want to return to, you’ll have luck steering clear of them, too. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). In a perfect world, each person would be liked always by everyone. In this imperfect world, if you were liked by everyone, it would be a bad sign -- a sign that you’re changing for others instead of being totally yourself. This week, the ones who get you will be pure gold. Forget the ones who don’t. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be moving between different settings and groups. Though each scenario has its unique culture, your desire to connect will win out, especially if that desire is combined with a message, product, service or general purpose you believe in. Go forward in confidence. One size will not fit all but it will fit most. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s a good week for following instructions, recipes and traditions. Avoid mixing up the order because success will depend on things happening in the correct sequence. You won’t get happy because it’s perfect but it will be perfect because you’re happy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s much about the week that can be won through a scientific approach. Those who don’t set up expectations will not be disappointed -- but they also won’t be prepared. So, consider what is likely to happen. Get more information. Ask questions. Look for patterns. Make predictions.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You’ll let down your defenses and accept new love, fresh challenge and interesting responsibility. You’ve grown stronger and have become better at what you do and more certain of yourself. You’ll be awarded -- a validation you don’t need but will be encouraged by. A family happening lifts morale. You’ll contribute meaningfully and memorably. A message from afar alters the action. Seize the opportunity for adventure; it will redefine you. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Get stern with yourself. It will take greater diligence to keep your actions in line with your goal. The cosmic boon is that this is a time when you’ll comply with your own parenting. Pull in the reins on your thoughts as well, disallowing your mind to wander to unhelpful places.

Rock Power Trios Even though Gov’t Mule is currently a quartet, its original incarnation was a power trio that had Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience as two major touchstones. The following are 10 other power trios stretching across different rock genres.

Warren Haynes’ Fave Blues Guitarists

Jarrod Spector & Kelli Barrett

Zebra Hüsker Dü King’s X Rush Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

he blues has been an important part of Gov’t Mule founding member Warren Hayne’s life ever since his older brother cajoled him into checking out 1971’s The London Howlin’ Wolf Sessions (“He convinced me to be open to it because it had Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood and the guys from the Stones on it. That was the first blues record that I dived into.”) It continues to this day with the new Gov’t Mule release Heavy Load Blues, a record split in half between original songs and covers from a number of blues canons including Junior Wells, Elmore James and Howlin’ Wolf. Given that Gov’t Mule can trace a direct line to the blues-rock stylings of Cream, Free and the Jimi Hendrix Experience, it’s no surprise that Haynes would be drawing from a similar well of influential blues guitarists, a number of which he showcases here.

B.B. King (September 16,

1925 to May 14, 2015) “When I started getting into guitar, his guitar playing was the same as his singing. It was the same voice, but he was singing through his instrument when he was playing guitar. It’s one of the things that influenced me and it didn’t dawn on me until much later down the line that when I was looking for my sound on guitar, I realized I was looking for a sound that resembled my voice and was compatible with my singing.”

Albert King (April 25, 1923

to December 21, 1992) “To me, Albert King is the blues guitarist who influenced rock guitar more than any other, and I don’t say that lightly. With Albert, nobody

played like that before him. He was the first person to play that way and I think that’s just incredible.”

Freddie King (September 3,

1934 to December 28, 1976) “If Freddie didn’t play guitar, he’d still be one of my favorite singers. He was so powerful. He also made some adventurous records like this one album called Burglar. It’s one of those records that turned rock fans onto the blues because it was really well recorded and well performed in a way that leaned a little bit towards rock and soul music.”

Elmore James (January 27,

Nirvana The Police Meat Puppets —Dave Gil de Rubio

Buddy Guy

(July 30, 1936 to present) “Buddy was also such a huge influence on Clapton and Hendrix. Buddy was playing on the edge before anybody else was. He was playing a little wilder and a little closer to what would be the Jimi Hendrix approach to blues before anyone.”

1918 to May 24, 1963) Visit www.longislandweekly.com “He was the father of electric blues slide to read a longer version of this story guitar. Without Elmore, we wouldn’t and a full feature on Warren Haynes have people like Duane Allman, who and Gov’t Mule. were the next link in the chain.”
