How A Mother’s Love Fuels Genevieve’s Helping Hands

Daughter’s lost breast cancer battle impetus for Hicksville nonprofit EMMA DUFFY nassauobserver@antonmediagroup.com

others are seen as strong, steady and independent. While this is true, illness does not discriminate and sometimes these great women are in need of help. Genevieve’s Helping Hands Charity stands to be a nonprofit that aims to help young mothers in treatment for breast cancer. “Our young mothers are very underserved,” Anne Rickmeyer, president and Board of Directors of Genevieve’s Helping Hands said. “We have been told by the American Cancer Society that on their list of charities, we are the only charity that does what we do.” Breast cancer is a modern epidemic in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, there is a 1 in 8 chance that a woman in America will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime. It is a very common diagnosis, with 30 percent of all female cancers being breast cancer. The commonality of the disease makes it a huge problem country wide. This issue is equally problematic when looking at the female population of Long Island. The New York State Department of Health has revealed that an average of 2,400 women on Long Island are diagnosed with breast cancer. Unfortunately, this also translates to an average of 440 annual deaths in Nassau and Suffolk counties. In order to remedy this issue, the nonprofit was founded a week after 34-yearold Genevieve Sounia lost her battle to breast cancer in July of 2013. She was beloved by many, including her parents, siblings, husband Phil and daughters of ages 3 and 6 years old. Sounia was an intelligent woman who attended Long Island Lutheran in Brookville and studied international affairs at George Washington University and spoke several languages. Later she became a captain in the U.S. Army. Her strength drove her to fight her stage IV cancer after her diagnosis. The

Collage of mothers and their families that have accepted help from Genevieve’s Helping Hands (Photos courtesy of Genevieve’s Helping Hands) determination and vigor she demonstrated inspired those around her to begin this charity to help those in need. Genevieve Helping Hands Charity helped their first mother in July of 2014, and provides grants for these young women. There are two types of grants that the nonprofit offers, each having its own unique way of helping young women as they are being treated. Recovery grants are an integral part of the organization. They provide funds that are expected to extend or enhance recovery from breast cancer treatment. Respite grants give the same benefits to women that were diagnosed with stage IV cancer, attempting to give young women a chance to relax during treatment. The organization has run out of pure dedication to the cause. All members work as volunteers, with 12 women that help around the state of New York, six in North Carolina and more that volunteer to make blankets and pillows to be put in care packages. It is hard to keep track of volunteers, as many move because of military connections and there have not been any in-person events since COVID. Genevieve Helping Hands Charity has helped 75 women across the United States, but has only helped three women in New York and only one on Long Island.

The nonprofit intends on expanding their outreach in the area. When asked why extending their outreach in this area was so important, Rickmeyer replied, “It’s where Genevieve grew up.” There are many ways to support this charity. Donations on the website are accepted and made simple, showing what the amount of money you donate will be able to provide each woman. All donations are tax deductible. The more money the nonprofit gets, the more moms it can help. However, if monetary donations are not possible, it will also accept donations that will fit in the comfort boxes, such as hand creams, warm blankets and socks. Genevieve Helping Hands Charity hosts events to extend their outreach. One event that was attempted was a benefit concert set for Saturday, June 4. Sadly, this event had to be canceled because of the increase in COVID cases. The music was supposed to be provided by Eyewitness, who have been on Long Island for 28 years. Eyewitness specializes in contemporary Christian music, which applies to the five tenets of Genevieve’s life that the charity tries to follow. “Faith, family, friends, food and fitness,” said Rickmeyer. “So everything we do we try to plug in to touch on that.” Despite the disappointment in this

The organization brings together a team to walk in the Jones Beach American Cancer Society walk, in which they would love to see more people join them. In September, organizers are planning a Paint and Pour event, where people will be able to paint a picture and drink some wine. For those interested, they will also host Fresh Foods for Families demonstrations, where they will show the power of food and how to implement a better diet. Genevieve’s Helping Hands sets out to help young mothers and all of those around them. An illness such as this affects the life of families and friends, along with those who have been diagnosed. Rickmeyer encourages those to find it in their heart to get involved through donations or with one’s time to help people as they struggle through an arduous illness. “We’re helping a mother, but we’re supporting a family as well,” she said. “It’s not just one person, it is whoever is in the family and these moms are so appreciative of any help.” Visit www.genshelpinghands.org or call 516-500-3702 to learn more about Genevieve’s Helping Hands. —Emma Duffy is an Anton Media Group contributor.

Nassau Police Arrest Six For Selling ‘THC’ In One Week

Enforcement and confusion shape local cannabis ‘grey market’ JANET BURNS jburns@antonmediagroup.com

n late May, Nassau County Police arrested six people in one week for selling marijuana products in smoke shops, but questions remain about exactly what was being sold and how police and local media are choosing to inform the public. On May 24, Nassau’s Major Case Bureau arrested five people linked to three different stores for allegedly selling tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), an intoxicating and in some cases therapeutic compound found in cannabis. As numerous media outlets reported, the arrestees included Saleh Mohammed Salem, 25, of New Hyde Park and Shaafal Nasser Ali Ahmed, 41, of Brooklyn, as connected to Eastwind Exotic Vape Shop in Syosset; Matthew B. Flax, 45, and Toby P. FLax, 74, of Syosset, as connected to Vaporville in Hicksville; and Jennifer D. Babaian, 40, of Glen Head, as connected to 7 Leaf Clover in Westbury. Outlets such as Newsday accompanied Nassau police during the May 24 raids, and reported that, according to police, one or more of the shops had been marketing their THC products to children. According to police, all of the arrestees were charged with 5th degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class D felony; Mohammed Salem and Nasser Ali Ahmed were each charged with two such counts, as well as 1st degree criminal possession of cannabis, a class C felony, punishable by up to 15 years in prison. In addition, all arrestees except for Matthew Flax were charged with 5th degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, another class D felony. Four days later, Nassau police announced another arrest, of 22-year-old Rashid Ali of Brooklyn, for allegedly selling THC to two pre-teens, who news outlets reported had experienced nonfatal “overdose” after using products from the Great Neck shop where Ali works. On their face, these six arrests may seem fairly straightforward. But there’s actually quite a lot to take in. With legalization on the horizon, New York’s ‘grey market’ for cannabis has boomed, as has often happened in U.S. states that have moved to decriminalize cannabis in one way or another. Under the latest federal Farm Bill, hemp products have also been in greater supply across the country, leading to an explosion of non-intoxicating cannabidiol

But it also means that we need to be educating young people more effectively that they will be navigating a world in which some adults now have certain types of products.” Vakharia pointed to recent ads by New York’s Office of Cannabis Management, part of the new regulatory body’s Cannabis Conversations campaign, which are currently reminding New Yorkers that legal cannabis will be for people aged 21+ only, that they shouldn’t drive while intoxicated on cannabis, and that cannabis products should be stored safely in the home. This moment will also require parents to talk to their kids directly about cannabis, but as part of a larger conversation many parents are already The exterior of 7 Leaf Clover in Westbury is shown in a 2019 photo. having, she said, such that “when kids open (User-uploaded image via Google Maps) the fridge and see a can of beer, they know that’s not for them. “ (CBD) products in various forms and levels candy, baked goods or other sweets.

Maintenance And Function Of The Plainview Water Tower Water district explains importance of the community’s elevated water tower

omething you can see from pretty much anywhere in the Plainview-Old Bethpage community, the Plainview Water District’s elevated water tower plays an important role, each and every day, in providing high quality water to local residents and businesses. Plainview’s water tower, which stands 143 feet tall atop the highest point in the community, stores more than one million gallons of water and pressurizes much of the water system. Given the critical importance of this piece of infrastructure, the district fulfills a routine maintenance and inspection schedule for the tower so it is always operating at peak performance. “Our water tower is a vital component of the community’s water infrastructure as it provides both water storage and system pressure at a much lower cost than alternative systems,” Plainview Water District Chairman Marc Laykind said. “Like anything else, this critical component must be maintained and thoroughly inspected twice per year to ensure it continues to serve its essential role in the delivery of high-quality water to our residents.” Water towers are a tried-and-true method for ensuring that pressure throughout a water distribution system is consistent. Using gravity, the weight of more than one

million gallons of water stored more than 100 feet in the air helps to pressurize a significant portion of the district’s nine-squaremile service territory. This system ensures homes continue to receive pressurized water even in the event of an emergency, such as a fire or water main break. Plainview’s water tower is given a thorough inspection by the district’s engineers twice per year. During this inspection, a detailed report of the tank’s condition is produced. The reports are then reviewed by the district’s superintendent, who is a licensed professional engineer. Any minor issues found during these regular inspections are corrected immediately and recommendations are made for larger capital improvement items, if applicable. “Generally speaking, water towers are typically more efficient to operate as opposed to other systems such as ground storage tanks and booster pumping stations,” Commissioner Amanda Field said. “In addition, the reliability of this infrastructure provides so much peace of mind for operators, especially in emergency weather events that cause power outages. There is a reason why elevated towers are still in use today.” Each 2.31 feet of height provides 1.0 pound per square inch (PSI) of pressure.

The Plainview water tower stores around one million gallons of water. (Photo courtesy of the Plainview Water District)

These elevated tanks are typically installed at the highest elevation in the system for this specific reason. The tank’s capacity is designed to provide enough volume to satisfy high peak demand conditions during the summer while also having the ability to meet any demand caused by an emergency such as a fire. “The importance of infrastructure components like an elevated water tank cannot be understated,” Commissioner Andrew Bader said. “By conducting routine inspections and staying on top of needed maintenance, we are able to avoid some of the horror stories you might have heard in other parts of the country where operators

have let the towers become a sanitary issue. We take an immense amount of pride in our water tower as it is too important to the overall water system, which is a cornerstone of every society.” The Plainview Water District has six well sites that collectively house 12 deep groundwater wells with a total approved capacity of 24.5 million gallons per day. The district’s service area is approximately nine square miles and makes up Plainview, Old-Bethpage and portions of Syosset and Woodbury. Typically, the district pumps approximately 1.7 billion gallons per year from the groundwater aquifer. While the allowable capacity exceeds a typical max day seasonal pumpage of 10 million gallons per day, the district must be prepared to meet fire demands, extreme weather and ability to supply water in case of equipment failures. For further information, or if you have any questions, visit www.plainviewwater. org, call the district at 516-931-6469 or email info@plainviewwater.org.

Students Open Little Free Library At Massapequa’s Ames Campus BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

he idea of the Little Free Library is that of a public bookcase that promotes neighborhood book exchanges. It’s a concept that recently became a reality on the Massapequa High School Ames Campus, where the newest Little Free Library opened a few feet from the building on Pittsburgh Avenue. Six students— Michaela Burke, Lucas Friedman, Ava Gonzalez, Karina Martin, Caitlyn Reece and Christopher Riviezzo— spent the entire year working on this project. They were supported by special education teacher Kathleen Wegener and speech pathologist Trish DePalma, along with library media specialist Evangeline King and technology teacher Matthew Burke. “The students have worked incredibly hard this year on preparing the Ames Little Free Library for the Massapequa community,” Wegener said. “They have all truly enjoyed working on this multidisciplinary, hands-on project.” The creation of the Little Free Library is an outgrowth of the Career and Community Connections (CCC) program, which

CCC students were involved in every step of the process, including buying the materials, building the library, painting it and stocking it with books. DePalma noted that every book was labeled with a CCC Little Free Library logo, to see how far the books travel. Anyone can take a book from the library, but community members are also encouraged to leave books that they have finished reading and want to share with someone else. CCC students held a collection drive for new and gently used books, for readers of all ages, to initially stock the Students from the Career and Community Connections Program at the Massapequa library.

The annual ranking placed JFK at No. 72 in New York State among roughly 1,200 high schools, and No. 691 in the nation among roughly 17,800 public high schools. “We have always been proud of our high school students and administrators, who have always placed academics first,” said Dr. Mary O’Meara, superintendent of the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District. “With our perfect graduation rate, and high-performing student body, I am happy to see our team’s hard work recognized.

Kerouac At 100: The Road Goes On… And On

with a lifetime promise to take care of his elderly mother.

With his father’s leaves his loyal Lowell girlfriend behind for death, the young man was now saddled the glamour and glitter of New York City.

JOSEPH SCOTCHIE

Maggie is bitterly upset. The reader knows Duluoz has just given up the best thing he will ever find. Kerouac had range: Novels, poetry, journals, letters, even a Book of Dreams. He had influence. Did The Beatles come from The Beats? Bob Dylan and other rock stars sang his praises, giving the man exposure to younger generations. Kerouac left behind a lifetime of great reading. It could have been more. Why couldn’t he follow Ginsberg and John Clellon Holmes into the university profession? Kerouac would have made a fine writer-in-residence. For years, the man had wanted to write a history of the Civil War. His wasteful ways prevented that. Shelby Foote was also a novelist. Consider his three-volume classic. Kerouac could have lent his prodigious talents to the American Iliad. One final influence was John Updike. When On The Road came out, the young Updike penned a satire of the novel in The New Yorker. His second novel, Rabbit Run, was a rebuttal to On The Road. Updike’s protagonist, Harry “Rabbit” Angstrom, runs, Dean Moriarty-like, from a wife and young child. While Rabbit is an absent father, his young daughter dies in a bathtub accident. See where an irresponsible lifestyle gets you?

In fairness, On The Road ends with resolutions. Dean finds happiness with his new bride and heads back to the West Coast. Sal Paradise, the Kerouac-stand in, is set to live the life of a Manhattan literati. For both men, the middle-class beckons. In his novels, Updike fed off Kerouac’s energetic prose. With Rabbit, he created the quintessential postwar American hero. He might have done so without On The Road, but the influence sure didn’t hurt.

BLI, a Long Island-based recreational volleyball organization for teenagers and adults, is elated to announce the first annual Grass Volleyball Pride Festival, a.k.a “PrideFest,” will take place on June 11 at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow. Originally scheduled to take place in June 2020, PrideFest had been twice-delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Volleyball enthusiasts, the LGBTQ+ community and its allies are invited to compete in the all-day charity tournament featuring Men’s, Women’s and CoEd Doubles, plus Gender Neutral Quads, offered in a variety of skill levels. The $50 from each doubles team and $100 from each quads team’s registration fees will be donated to PFY (formerly Pride For Youth), a division of the Long Island Crisis Center whose mission is to enhance the health and wellness of the LGBTQ community through education, supportive services and personal development in Nassau, Suffolk and Queens counties. “PrideFest has been a long-time coming and reflects the volleyball community’s

altruism and diversity, especially in regards to sexuality and gender,” VBLI’s Founder and Managing Director Glenn Yankow said. “Collaborating with PFY has been a pleasure and we’re as inspired as ever to create a fun, memorable tournament, one to keep improving upon for years to come.” On-site vendors will be announced at a later date, will enhance the patron experience and donate additional proceeds. The goal is to host more than 200 volleyball players from Long Island and the surrounding areas, raising more than $5,000 for PFY. “We’re deeply grateful to VBLI for including us in this unique event held during Pride Month,” PFY Director Devon Zappasodi said. “There is a lot of work to be done in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights and equality in the area of athletics, but PrideFest is a nice indication of the progress that has been made.” Registration for PrideFest is open now; go to www.vbli.com for more information. –Submitted by VBLI

As we emerge from COVID-19 stronger and ready to respond to the evolving needs and priorities of our communities, we are grateful to have John help us share

the compelling stories of our service and impact.” Durso welcomes the challenge and said, “I am drawn to EAC Network because of

the challenging but important work it does to better the lives of struggling individuals, which mimics my experience in the union to empower our members. After recognizing this parallel, I knew that it was an agency that I wanted to be a part of and I aim to help in any way I can.” Lockel added, “The EAC Network is in a pro-growth mode and John will work with our board, our elected officials, community and private partners to help EAC grow. We begin John’s tenure as chair with a renewed sense of purpose, a strong sense of confidence in the value and impact of our service and a commitment to forging ahead to continue to serve with ‘Excellence in Action’ for all of our communities. “ “For the EAC Network, growth means seeing and helping more people,” Durso added.

curriculum in regards to U.S. history, gender and sexual orientation. But now those same people are going to trust those teachers with a gun around their children? Scanning gun enthusiast websites, like the Firearm Industry Trade Association, it is said that AR-15s, the ArmaLite rifle, are used for hunting, target practice and shooting competitions. But the AR-15 style weapon has been used in the shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida that killed 17, the Las Vegas shooting that killed 59, the Sutherland Springs church shooting that killed 26, the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando that killed 49, the San Bernardino shooting in California that killed 14 and, the one that brings tears to my eyes when I think of it just like the most recent shooting, the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut that killed 26, including 20 children between the ages of 6 and 7-years-old. These numbers don’t even count the injured and the traumatized. Now, I understand the importance of the Second Amendment. I support it, in fact. But, historically speaking, any time something has been responsible for multiple deaths, we look for ways to make sure tragedy doesn’t strike again. When it comes to the First Amendment, free speech

and religion, threats do not fall under that category. We don’t consider Jim Jones’ Peoples Temple or Heaven’s Gate something that should be accepted because of freedom of religion. In 2016, Peter Rhee, a trauma surgeon at the University of Arizona, told Wired when comparing the damage an AR-15 can do compared to a 9mm handgun to the human body, that “One looks like a grenade went off in there. The other looks like a bad knife cut.” In what world do we allow 18-year-olds to buy two AR-15s and 375 rounds without even a background check or training when we require them to take a test to receive a permit, attend driving school and then take a road test for a driver’s license? To get a U.S. passport, it takes months between the application, the fee, the visit to the post office and the month or two it takes for the passport to be processed. Are we really okay with more regulations in order to leave the country than owning a deadly weapon that’s been proven the weapon of choice in mass causality events? Is that where we are? Is this the reality we’re going to accept? We all know that it’s time for gun responsibility in this country. Let’s do something about it.

pump, through the hose, into my car. I thought, “What if I let my angers flow through the nozzle into the tank?” Of course in some ways that was stupid. Filling my tank with anger wasn’t really doing anything to make a difference in the world. But on the other hand, it started to make a difference internally. Anger is a secondary emotion. A primary emotion is what is felt immediately before we feel angry. We always feel something else first before we get angry. We might

first feel afraid, attacked, offended, disrespected, forced, trapped or pressured. If any of these feelings are intense enough, we think of the emotion as anger. So my recognition that I felt insignificant in the face of the world’s violence gave me a clue as to why the anger was building within me. Anger always seeks some form of release. Sometimes it leads to actual physical violence. Sometimes to verbal violence. Sometimes, if it is not released, it bottles up, causing internal destruction in our bodies. Sometimes, bottled up anger leads to depression, which is often the flip side of anger. Healthy release of anger can include physical exercise, artistic expression, appropriately expressing our feelings with others, and—as I discovered—pumping gas. As odd is it sounds, as I experienced the anger flowing out of me into the gas tank, I felt some release. What I was really doing was letting my imagination deal with the anger in a new creative way. You might think that with a tank full of anger

The Anger Pump Recently I discovered a cheap form of anger therapy while paying a high price for one of suburbia’s necessities. I was at the gas station filling my tank with expensive gasoline and resenting the daily increase in gas prices. My anger wasn’t merely about the cost of fuel, but it was connected to my distress at the war against Ukraine that not simply contributed to the current price situation, but that ruined so many lives of so many families. This was needless violence that also reached into my wallet. Then came more anger—not connected at all to gas prices—when shoppers upstate were murdered by a racist gunman. Then we heard of the murder of children and their teachers in Texas. I felt so helpless and insignificant because there was nothing I could do to stop the runaway violence that is plaguing our world. I was angry about my lack of ability to fix this. As I was pumping away at the gas station, I looked at the gas nozzle in my hand. I had pulled its trigger and could feel the flow from the

my driving would turn aggressive. But it didn’t. Somehow I felt an energy that propelled me toward my destination. I felt freer. Being freed from disturbing emotions can certainly help us in the areas of life where we have control. Instead of taking my anger out on the beloved readers of this column by ranting and raving over what I don’t like, instead of letting the anger poison my preaching, instead of becoming cantankerous with people in my life, I could be free to look for ways to be life-supporting. I could consider how I’m meant to be a healer of life’s wounds and look for the opportunities to walk with folks who are suffering from their own angers, frustrations and lack of power in difficult situations. I don’t know how long this metaphor will serve me. But while it does, I hope to increase the number of miles I get by letting the anger flow out. Your miles may vary.

COVER STORY

Tip Sheet: Good Health In Later Life For Older Men

mericans are living longer than ever, but American men still aren’t living as long as American women. The average life expectancy for men in the U.S. is now roughly 75 years. For women, it’s more than 80. Exactly why men are shorter-lived than women isn’t entirely clear. Even in infancy boys run a higher risk of dying than girls, and researchers aren’t sure why. However, research suggests that a leading reason for the “longevity gap” between men and women is that men don’t take care of themselves as well as women do. For example, surveys have found that women are much more likely to have a regular healthcare provider, and to see their provider within the course of the year, than men are. Men are also more likely to engage in “risky” behaviors—like smoking and drinking heavily—than women. Experts agree that by taking better care of themselves, men can increase their odds of living healthier, longer lives.

Tips for Older Men

See your healthcare provider regularly. Even if you feel perfectly healthy, you should see your provider at least once a year for a checkup. Call or see your healthcare provider when you’re feeling sick. Surveys find that men are less likely than women to see a healthcare provider when they’re not feeling well. In one survey, 40 percent of men said that, if they were sick, they would delay seeking medical care for a few days. Seventeen percent said they would wait “at least a week.” Prompt medical care can make a big difference—sometimes, the difference between life and death. Don’t wait. Take medications, vitamins, and supplements only as directed. When you visit your provider, bring either all of the pills you take, or a complete list of these that notes the doses you take, and how often you take them. Include medicines, vitamins, herbs and supplements (even those you buy in the store without a prescription). Why? Because the longer you live, and the more medicines you take, the more likely you are to experience some side effects, even from medicines bought over-thecounter at the pharmacy. Your provider should check all of your pills to make sure they’re safe for you to take, and that they don’t interact in harmful ways. Always check with your provider, or your pharmacist, before taking any new medicines of any kind. Take all medicines as directed, and tell your provider right away if a medication or other pill seems to be causing any problems or side effects. Get your shots! Check with your healthcare provider to make sure you’re getting: • A flu shot—every year in September or October before the flu season starts. • The shingles (herpes zoster) vaccine—once when 60 or older. • A combination tetanus/diphtheria booster shot—every 10 years. • Pneumonia vaccination—once after age 65 (your healthcare provider may suggest that

Screening, or checking, for early signs of certain health problems can help diagnose them early. The following screening approaches are generally recommended for older men; ask your healthcare provider if they’re right for you. Bone health evaluation: Periodically. Your healthcare provider should evaluate your risk of osteoporosis, or “thinning of the bones.” (It’s not just a woman’s disease.) Your healthcare provider should evaluate your risk and possibly recommend further testing. Remember: exercise strengthens the bones at any age. Blood pressure check: At least once a year. Cholesterol test for high blood cholesterol levels: Cholesterol screening should be done after consulting with your healthcare provider. Screening frequency depends on your age and general health.

Diagnosis Is Key To Cure

epatitis C is a virus that affects the liver and can cause chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. It is usually without symptoms and is only diagnosed when a specific hepatitis C test is ordered. Once diagnosed, hepatitis C can be cured with simple, easy to take medications. Hepatitis C affects about one percent of the population of the United States. Despite the ease of diagnosis and treatment, many people affected by this virus remain untreated and at risk for the development of cirrhosis and liver cancer. Diagnosis is key to disease cure and elimination. The main risk factors for hepatitis C include intravenous drug use, intranasal cocaine use, blood and blood product transfusions prior to 1992, unregulated tattooing and health care related needle stick injuries. The past decade has seen a significant rise in new cases of hepatitis C in young people due to the opioid use epidemic. Sexual transmission of hepatitis C is uncommon but can occur in men who have sex with men. In years past, screening for hepatitis C was recommended for any person with hepatitis C risk factors. This approach was highly unsuccessful in uncovering a significant number of people with hepatitis C. Because of this, the screening recommendations were changed to add screening for all people born between

1945 to 1965 as well continuing to screen people with risk factors. This approach identified some patients but for the most part, these recommendations were not followed and this approach was also unsuccessful in identifying large numbers of infected people. This led to the current recommendation that all people over the age 18 and anyone, regardless of age, with risk factors be evaluated for hepatitis C. Unfortunately, these recommendations are not widely followed and most people with hepatitis C remain undiagnosed. The hepatitis C epidemic can only be eliminated if these screening recommendations are followed. This requires health care provider awareness and education regarding the importance of hepatitis C and patient awareness and involvement to ask providers for the hepatitis C blood test.

The second component of solving the hepatitis C crisis is linking newly diagnosed patients to a provider that will provide the curative treatments. Hepatitis C treatment cures 98 to 99 percent of infected people, regardless of disease stage. These therapies can be given to both children and adults. Treatment consists of pills that are given either once a day for twelve weeks or three times a day for either eight or 12 weeks, depending on the genotype or subtype of the virus. These therapies are well tolerated with minimal to no side effects. They are affordable and covered by all insurances in New York State. They can be provided by a primary care provider, gastroenterologist, or

infectious disease specialist. Cure of hepatitis C is defined as having no detectable virus in the blood at a minimum of twelve weeks after completing the treatment regimen. With the rise in hepatitis C cases being seen amongst our youth and young adults, it is imperative that patients be aware of this condition and ask to be tested and that health care providers test all patients at least once for this condition and then link patients with hepatitis C to providers who will provide treatment. Only if these two conditions are met will we be able to eliminate hepatitis C from our population. —David Bernstein, MD, MACG, FAASLD, AGAF, FACP

Medical Research Foundation Gets New Name

long with Marty and Barbara Sass, Dr. Frank Arena has been a co-founder, president and director of research for the past 36 years at the Sass Foundation for Medical Research. It was only befitting with his dedication, “fire in the belly,” unending dedication and tireless efforts on behalf of this charitable foundation that the co-founders changed the name to The SASS-ARENA Foundation for Medical Research, Inc. to include their partner, friend and most respected medical oncologist, Arena. “We could not have done it without him,” said the Sasses. After a two-year hiatus, no thanks to COVID, The SASS-ARENA Foundation returned to the glorious venue of Guastavinos in Manhattan with their sold-out gala. They are back with a vengeance, a passion and a commitment that they will never forget all those that are fighting for their lives against the biggest bully of all—cancer. The gala had the distinct privilege of having a group of honorees that epitomize all that is good and courageous in their specific fields and in the world. Stacy Fischer-Rosenthal received this year’s Courage Award. Not only is she a brilliant businesswoman but a true

role model on how a person could turn a personal tragedy into a passion and a commitment that could impact the lives of so many people. She has been an award recipient at the American Cancer Society’s Taste of Hope Gala and the Breast Cancer & Survivorship Award in the 21st Century honor. She is an advocate for all those men and women who fear the evil spell of breast cancer and what it can do against them and their family. Dr. Robert Grossman, dean of the NYU Grossman Medical College was the medical honoree. His vision along with Ken Langone, has transformed the NYU Grossman Medical College into a fully scholarship school. This award was named after a member of the foundation’s board, Dr. Franco Muggia, a giant in the field of oncology and one of the founding fathers of the specialty. Last but not least, the humanitarian honor went to two men who have spent the past 20 years making a huge difference. John Feal, first responder and president of Feel Good Foundation suffered the blows and trauma of 9/11. He has endured 35 surgeries to correct what he suffered on that tragic day. He, along with Jon Stewart, fought tirelessly to protect anyone that

Martin Sass, Chairman & co-founder; Barbara R. Sass, co-founder; and Dr. Francis P. Arena, President and co-founder. Source sassfoundation.org came in contact with the horror of 9/11. Feal introduced the foundation to Michael Barasch. Barasch is an attorney who has spent these last decades fighting tirelessly for all those that lost loved ones, or became afflicted by illnesses associated with this disaster. Barasch helped to register many dozens of cancers and illnesses that exposure to the toxins released by the fall of

the Twin Towers had caused. The SASS-ARENA Foundation for Medical Research commitment runs true despite COVID, war, politics or anything that may try to take attention away from their motto “together we will make a difference.” —SASS-ARENA Foundation for Medical Research

There is a lot of things that I don’t For the past know personally, but that I felt through the decade, the duo music. Instead of being isolated to a few of Schultz and countries, this is the whole world now. It’s Jeremiah Fraites a very strange, relatable thing. Part of the have been the goal of the record, at least subconsciously, constants in The is to try to write an album that describes the Lumineers (cellist/ pain without getting so caught in the weeds vocalist Neyla Pekarek was in the band in using the words quarantine or pandemfrom 2010-18) carving out a niche for itself ic.

pop music. “Even though I didn’t think that song was going to resonate the way it does. I just thought it was interesting to my ear,” he recalled. “It had to come from some place other than trying to please someone. I’ve been to BMI Awards where people collect awards for these songs and half the time, you never heard of the song and there are 12 or 15 writers that go up and collect trophies because I guess they generated money. Half the time, those guys don’t even like what they wrote. They just know that it’s catchy. Isn’t it better to just write stuff that you care about? So for me, there’s this element of people asking about the 10th anniversary of our first record and how that feels and what does that mean? And most of it is that we got to make stuff the way we liked it on our own terms. One of the things that I learned the more that I make music is to get out of your own way and to hold on to some level of your own innocence. You’re not just creating new instruments and making up new chords. You’re finding yourself not quite sure of what you’re doing. It’s funny to even evaluate things when they come out because in a lot of ways, my favorite record is something it took me a while [to come around to]. All of a sudden, it’s on heavy rotation the rest of my life. The transcendence of all this is a really funny thing. It’s like a mystical thing. That word alchemy comes to mind.” That straightforward simplicity comes across in spades on Brightside, whether it’s the opening title track that uses a cadence reminiscent of Tom Petty’s “Don’t Come

Around Here No More” while Schultz implores that, “I’ll be your brightside, baby, tonight” or providing reassurances during uncertain times amid bare bones piano accompaniment and just a hint of strings amid the optimistic vibe of “Where We Are.” Both songs have provided a degree of comfort to the band’s fan base, who have shared their feelings on social media. “Ironically, a lot of parents, whether its people I don’t know that are posting it or parents that I know personally—so many have sent me images of their kids singing ‘Where We Are’ or ‘Brightside,’” Schultz shared. “But particularly ‘Where We Are’ and they’re singing, ‘Where we are/I don’t know where we are’ and it’s these little kids, most of whom don’t even know words yet and they’re mouthing these words. That for me is very exciting to see. It’s like tapping into some kind of universal power.” Suffice it to say that the creative restlessness that defined so much of how Brightside came out will be a driving force of what the Lumineers will bring to the stage on this upcoming tour. “We have four albums out and we have to cut songs now and that’s a good feeling,” Schultz said. “We can actually put on a show that has no fat. As a band, we’re most excited to play. Not pulling a rabbit out of our hat, but having, from start to finish, moments [where fans] won’t want to leave, grab a beer or take a leak. You want to just be there. I got to see Tom Petty during his Wildflowers Tour and I forgot how many songs he wrote. I would never compare us to him, but in that feeling, I want people to leave hopefully saying, ‘I forgot how many songs they wrote,’ even just four albums in.” The Lumineers will be appearing on June 17 and June 18 at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium, 1 Tennis Place, Forest Hills.

Heat Awareness

PSEG Long Island is prepared to meet the increased electrical demand that high temperatures bring, reminding customers to properly protect themselvers during the high heat days of summer. During extreme heat conditions, customers should: • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Avoid drinks with caffeine or alcohol. • Avoid wearing dark colors. Dark colors absorb the sun’s rays. • Never leave children or pets alone in enclosed vehicles. • Avoid overexertion during work or exercise, especially between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Customers on qualifying life-support equipment can register for the PSEG Long Island Critical Care Program to receive enhanced notifications from the company. During severe weather, registered customers will receive additional outreach from PSEG Long Island. Customers who rely on such equipment are responsible for planning ahead to meet medical needs in the event of a power outage. If power is lost, every effort will be made to restore it as soon as possible. Participation in the Critical Care Program does not guarantee priority power restoration. To register, call 1-800-490-0025. High temperatures can also lead to higher energy use, resulting in higher electric bills. To help save energy and money this summer, PSEG Long Island offers the following tips to customers: • Do not cool an empty house. Set your thermostat higher when you are away, or use a smart thermostat to control the temperature in your home. • Seal holes and cracks around doors and windows with caulk or weather-stripping. • Replace air filters monthly. Dirty filters make your air conditioner work harder. • Operate appliances in the morning or evening when it is cooler outside. • Set refrigerators and freezers to the most efficient temperatures.

• Replace old appliances with new, energy efficient ENERGY STAR appliances. • Close blinds and draperies facing the sun to keep out the sun’s heat. • Ceiling fans cool fast and cost less than air conditioning. (In hot weather, set your ceiling fan to spin quickly, counterclockwise to push air downward toward the floor.) Extreme temperatures and high electric demand can sometimes cause scattered, heat-related outages. Customers can prepare by keeping PSEG Long Island’s contact information handy. During extreme heat, PSEG Long Island will have additional personnel available to address outages safely and as quickly as possible. Stay connected: • Download the PSEG Long Island mobile app to report outages and receive information on restoration times, crew locations and more. • Report an outage and receive status updates by texting OUT to PSEGLI (773454).

‘Senior Prom’ To Unite Senior Cats (8+ Years) And Potential T

Senior citizen adopters at newly renovated cat sanctuary

he Patricia H. Ladew Foundation, Inc., a cat rescue, sanctuary and adoption organization, will showcase its innovative Seniors for Seniors program on Saturday, June 11 from noon to 5 p.m. in a clever “Senior Prom” themed event. Staff and volunteers of the Ladew Cat Sanctuary will be on hand to give guided tours of the newly renovated Victorian home in which the cats reside. Thanks to a very generous donation to the Ladew Seniors for Seniors program from long-time supporter Jordan Salvit, co-founder of KitNipBox, the subscription box for cat toys and treats, the Ladew Foundation will announce at the event that it will be expanding the Seniors for Seniors program. Going forward: • The age for eligible cats will be reduced from 10 years old to eight. • The foundation has partnered with a growing list of veterinarians in Nassau, Queens, Brooklyn, Westchester and New Jersey to allow senior adopters to see participating veterinarians closer to home. To date the program has placed about 40 cats, 10 or more years old, with senior citizen adopters, with the benefit that the foundation will continue to pay all reasonable medical expenses for the cat at the shelter’s clinic in Oyster Bay. Additionally, senior cats may return to the sanctuary if circumstances change in the adopter’s life. This has enabled older community members to enjoy the benefits of pet ownership, which can include

The main event will be outdoors under a tent; masks will be required for all individuals who go indoors. The renovation has enhanced the home for the cats’ enjoyment and comfort while also creating a fun environment for people to come, meet up to 100 cats, and adopt.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Give-and-take relationships won’t work that well this week. It’s the taking that’s the problem. Whereas givers can only give until supply runs out, takers don’t know when to stop. When one supply stops, they’ll move to the next and the next. Seek clearly defined working arrangements and avoid ambiguous relationships.

Solution: 25 Letters

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re a self-directed person, doing things for your own reasons. Some won’t be able to appreciate your efforts, only because they have never contributed thusly and cannot relate. Continue undaunted. Though you don’t need it, eventually you will be acknowledged by those who understand what you do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The ones flashing wealth or flexing authority are often advertising how new it is to them and how much they need external things for validation. The power move is not to show off your energy but to hold it like the sun does, thus being the great magnet that others can orbit around and grow toward. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Resist the pressure to focus on one thing. Only you know when you’re ready to specialize; you’ll feel it. It is typical for creative minds like yours to try a wide array of endeavors. Fill your wells of inspiration with whatever interests you. Ultimately, your work will be enhanced by the breadth of your studies. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Compliments are much easier to give than constructive criticism. So you actually consider it more of a compliment when people are brave, honest and thoughtful enough to do the harder work of applying their critical mind to an assessment. You appreciate the value of critique and will apply it to great effect. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your development is a co-creation between the world and you. The world asks you to play a role, and you’ll apply your mind to building it uniquely. Imitation will be part of your process, but you’ll quickly outgrow the need to match yourself to an example. You’ll become your own example. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The “no guts, no glory” approach worked for you in the past, but these days you’re not after glory, so you take things in a different direction. “No guts, no fun” is the adage that keeps your week humming with excitement, risk, silliness and unforgettable moments of shared glee. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The obstacle between you and what you want is caused by misunderstanding, differences in ideology and generational clashes. A breakthrough will require tolerance. The key is offering the benefit of the doubt, seeking understanding and deciding not to take offense.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

A playful energy lights up your relationships.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). We equate wealth with hard work, but it’s not always the case. Tremendous labors can pay very little, and many fortunes are made without huge effort. Be open-minded as you look for opportunity this week. Seek input from people very different from yourself because a broader perspective offers more options.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve come this far -- proof that you can handle what comes, however big, little, amazing or inconvenient it might be. There’s no reason to look back with pride, shame or other because that’s all over now. It’s time to make your next best decision. Do it by yourself now and you’ll have support later.

HOROSCOPES HOROSCOPES

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The same thing makes a job hard or easy: attitude. Attitude is a mindset, but it’s also a physical alignment of energy -- a way of moving through the world with awareness, intent and confidence. What you do to strengthen and teach your body will lift your attitude and pave the way for winning on every level.

South dealer. North-South vulnerable. NORTH ♠Q985 ♥A 7 4 ♦QJ98 ♣K 2 WEST EAST ♠K42 ♠76 ♥ 10 6 3 2 ♥J 8 ♦ 10 3 ♦A752 ♣A 9 6 5 ♣J 8 7 4 3 SOUTH ♠ A J 10 3 ♥K Q 9 5 ♦K64 ♣ Q 10 The bidding: South West North East 1 NT Pass 2♣ Pass 2♥ Pass 3 NT Pass 4♠ Opening lead — ten of diamonds. You can’t see declarer’s cards when you’re a defender, but it is often possible to visualize them almost as if they were faceup on the table. The relevant inferences may be drawn from either the bidding or the play, but usually it is necessary to examine both of these areas. Consider this case where East had to make a crucial decision at trick one. West led the ten of diamonds, on which declarer played dummy’s jack, and East had to decide

whether the diamond lead was a singleton or a doubleton. If East decides that the ten is a singleton, he should take the jack with the ace and return a diamond for West to ruff. If East had done this in the actual deal, South would have made the contract easily, losing only a spade, a diamond and a club. But East donned his thinking cap and decided that the lead was almost surely a doubleton. Accordingly, he signaled with the seven of diamonds instead of taking the ace. When West later gained the lead with the king of trump, he returned a diamond to East’s ace and ruffed the diamond return to put the contract down one. East knew from the bidding that declarer had four spades and four hearts. (North’s two-club bid was Stayman, asking South to bid a four-card major suit if he had one, and South had bid both.) It followed that South could not have four diamonds, since that would mean he had opened one notrump with a singleton club. West’s lead therefore had to be a doubleton, and the best chance of stopping the contract was to proceed on the assumption that West could gain the lead before all the trumps were drawn and could then secure his diamond ruff.

assapequa High School can claim diamond supremacy over Nassau County. Both the boys baseball team and the girls softball teams have won their respective county titles. Senior Kim Westenberg hit a three-run home run in the third inning to help Massapequa to a 5-4 win and two-game sweep over second-seeded East Meadow for the Nassau AA championship at Mitchel Field Athletic Complex. It was the second straight county title for Massapequa. The Chiefs, who were the top seed, won the first game of the three-game series, 12-1. Ryan Starr went 3-for-3 and scored three runs and Katie Stork went 2-for-3 with two runs. Starr had four RBI and teammate Emily Balducci had three RBI. Westenberg hit a two-run homer and threw a complete game, allowing one earned run, three hits and striking out six. In Game 2, it was all Westenberg. In addition to her home run, the senior pitcher tossed a complete game, striking out the final batter to clinch the county title. Not to be outdone by the girls, the Massapequa baseball team won its fifth Nassau title over the past six seasons. The only interruption to coach Tom Sheedy’s

The Chiefs completed the sweep with an 11-1 win in Game 2 at Farmingdale State College. Junior Erik
