TOP STORY

The Code Remains The Same

Stephen Ketelsen’s approach yields fruit on lax pitch and in the computer lab

DAVE GIL de RUBIO dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

toried UCLA basketball coach John Wooden was known for a number of aphorisms, including: “How you run the race—your planning, preparation, practice and performance—counts for everything. Winning or losing is a by-product, and aftereffect, of that effort.” And, “Winning takes talent; to repeat takes character.” It’s a philosophy that not only applies to the RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) Tigers, who just won their second straight NCAA Division III National Lacrosse Championship, but to star defender Stephen Ketelsen, who just graduated with his Masters in Computer Science. The Hicksville native, who has been on the team since his 2017 freshman year, admits the journey to successive titles was full of challenges beyond the norm—up to and including the 2020 pandemic. “The seniors that year had their careers ended in the middle of March,” Ketelsen recalled. “Going off that into the fall, we had plenty of restrictions—when we could practice, how long we could practice, weight room restrictions. We had to wear masks all the time indoors, outdoors and during practice. It was definitely a challenge working with all the restrictions, but I think it made us better for it. We faced a lot of adversity overcoming those challenges and coming through that with the first national championship in 2021 made it extra sweet.” With RIT head coach Jake Coon at the helm, aided by assistants Shawn Wilkins and Donny Moss, the Tigers run a rigorous and disciplined program that appealed to Ketelsen and his teammates. A grinding, blue-collar approach to practice and playing combined with the efforts of a visualization mentor named Mindset Mike makes for a winning combination the former Comet feels was the key to the team’s winning run. “We have our physical limits, but realistically, the deal-breaker when it comes to playing the best teams in the country is the mental edge,” Ketelsen said. “Going into the game with confidence and the [mindset] that we could do anything is what drove us

Stephen Ketelsen graduating with his Masters in Computer Science from RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology). the entire season. We have two of the best minds in lacrosse at our backs instructing and leading us through the fray. With Coach Coon setting everything up and making sure we know our matchups, it felt like we had insider information every time we played someone. “He did his homework

every single week, especially with a familiar foe like Union in the national championship. And with Coach Wilkins on the offensive end— watching how he sets things up and how the offense operates is a thing of beauty for sure.” Ketelsen’s love affair with lacrosse dates back to his being a baseball/football-playing seven-year-old who reluctantly tried this new sport his father Martin suggested despite his son’s desire to hit the diamond alongside his friends. But that love affair with America’s pastime was short-lived for Ketelsen the younger. “Once I got that first taste of lacrosse, with the

physicality, I knew I was never playing baseball again and was going to stick to lacrosse for the spring sports,” he said. “I knew I wasn’t going back to baseball. It was the most boring thing in the world compared to lacrosse. Everything is always moving. There is always something going on, even if you can’t see it, and there’s always movement off the ball.” The cerebral nature of this most physical of contact sports played well into Ketelsen’s intellectual curiosity, which also stoked the computer science career path he chose to follow. Credit for this decision dates back to his taking a computer programming class as a Hicksville High School 10th-grader on a whim. It was a throwaway decision that eventually led to his attending RIT. “I knew some of my friends had done programming before and I was kind of interested in it even though I wasn’t knowledgeable in the subject at the time,” he said. “Being an intro class, what was the worst that could happen?

Defender Stephen Ketelsen bringing the ball up versus Vassar on March 26, 2022.

I ended up loving it and that led to other things. I joined the robotics team and that was one of the best high school experiences for me. Being on that team with our coach, Miss Temps, was fantastic. She fostered the intrigue I had for everything in a way that I wound up being the robot driver my senior year and learning all about the robotics aspect with the hardware and software. “It was really fascinating to me, especially as a 17-year-old or 18-year-old kid. Continuing on from that, I took a proper computer science class my senior year. Going into my senior year with college applications, I knew computer science was the direction I wanted to go. Applying to RIT was kind of a no-brainer in that they have a great reputation for computer science.” With RIT in the rearview mirror and a goal of heading off into the world of defense contracting, Ketelsen knows the work ethic that was shaped by his hometown is what will serve him well in this next chapter of his life. “I think a lot of my outlook on life comes from the fact that I was raised here in Hicksville,” he said. “It’s a pretty blue-collar town and that certainly shows through in the athletics, at least while I was playing here. Making up a lot of that mindset is the idea that I was going to work my ass off until I get what I want. I found a lot of that sentiment was shared by lots of the guys I played with at RIT. Taking that kind of mindset to a game where we play Tufts, where they’re white collar and we know that. They’re not as tough as us and seeing our coach embrace that was so awesome. Growing up in Hicksville—I don’t think I would have wanted it any other way.”

each of the graduates. He closed by encouraging the students to be strong but not rude, be kind but not weak, be humble but not shy, be proud but not arrogant. “Be good to each other, Class of 2022,” he said. “Onwards and upwards.” Other speakers included honored guest John Immerson, Hall of Fame recipient 2022; Board of Education Secretary Sunita Manjrekar; Board of Education Trustee Annette Beiner; Class of 2022 Valedictorian Sam Zhen and Salutatorian Sean Zhen. Both students addressed their classmates directly,

reminiscing about memories made together, and shared good wishes as they move forward in life. Zhen spoke fondly of his time at Hicksville High School, but mentioned their time wasn’t without challenges and uncertainties, particularly with the pandemic. He said life will be the same and when this happens, “I want you to think of famous words by Hong Kong martial artist Bruce Lee: ‘Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless like water.’” He referenced how water is versatile, adaptable and flexible to any surface or anything, and

said “water can flow or crash.” The valedictorian closed his speech by telling his peers, “Be water, my friends, when faced with any sense of uncertainties the future may bring.” When Superintendent of Schools Marianne Litzman spoke, she began with a big welcome to the students to this open-air celebration. “Today you will walk through the open door,” she said. “Yes, we are letting you free today! Yes, exit stage right and stage life.” “Sometimes your path was hard and sometimes your road was easy,” she continued, “but you always remained true to self. True to your word with all. So, keep that truth always. Always filled with hope. You maneuvered through a world pandemic with calm head and steady hand.” She reminded them that if the wind should gust, bringing rain and snow, temperatures cold and warm, look back to Hicksville and those around them for an encouraging word. “Hicksville will always be your home and we will always remember your name,” she said. “Keep that fire in your belly and go out and set this world on fire.” After the speakers, the high point of the ceremony took place. Diplomas were presented to the Class of 2022, and each graduate received applause and cheers from guests as their name was called. —Submitted by the Hicksville School District

You have survived and powered through, and I reiterate, ‘powered through,’ the pandemic. You survived personal challenges this year, survived 10-day quarantines and survived full-day schooling. You are all seated here, and that means you are a champion. You are a survivor.

MacArthur Graduates Celebrate Start Of Their Next Chapter

eneral Douglas MacArthur High School graduates gathered at Hofstra University’s David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex to mark the milestone that was the conclusion of their high school journeys on June 18. Class of 2022 President Sean Napoli took to the stage to lead the Pledge of Allegiance and senior choir members sang the national anthem to kick off the school’s 61st commencement as families packed the bleachers and cheered for the graduates. After senior choir members Mitch Allan and Jessica Alexander performed “I’ll Always Remember You,” Principal Joseph Sheehan reminded graduates that the future is theirs to continue to grow and find success. He told them they can “...achieve more than you can ever imagine...” if they never become discouraged and demand more from themselves. “As you step into the future with steadfast confidence, do so by bringing more of your talents to fruition and make this world a better place,” he said. Sheehan also recognized Superintendent of Schools Dr. Tonie McDonald for her upcoming retirement after years of service to the district. “Your unwavering care, compassion and actions were always based on your ‘what’s best for kids’ philosophy,” he said. McDonald welcomed families, friends and graduates to the ceremony. She reflected on following the graduates’ journeys throughout their years in Levittown’s schools. “I remember those moving up ceremonies, shaking your tiny hands. Now you will shake my hand as a fellow graduate and an adult,” she said. “I could not be more proud of this class, who has had to go through situations no one could have imagined years ago.” Dr. Barry Steinberg, fellow graduate of MacArthur who gave the guest address, reflected on his path toward his own successes and told the graduates to never stop reaching to further heights. Salutatorian Anna Conway shared thanks for every mentor who has impacted graduates’ educational careers over the years. “Thank you to those who were at every step of our educational journeys, teaching us to fly high, break down barriers and crush expectations,” she said. Sean Napoli reminded his peers of their perseverance through unpredictable struggles. “I have experienced firsthand just how resilient and adaptable the Class of 2022 can be,” he said. During her address to the class, Valedictorian Summer Looney thanked school staff, administrators, friends and family members for their unending support. “As each

one of us walks across the stage, we will be entering a new chapter of our lives,” she said. Senior band members in the Symphonic Band played “The Lion of Lucerne,” before a commemorative video played showcasing the many memories made at MacArthur. As Board of Education President Peggy Marenghi presented the Class of 2022 and Sheehan, McDonald and board trustees conferred the diplomas to the graduates, families’ cheers rang out in celebration of the momentous occasion. —Submitted by Levittown Public Schools General Douglas MacArthur High School graduates celebrated during the 61st commencement on June 18.

Division Avenue Graduates Cross The Stage Graduates from Division Avenue High School in the Levittown Public School District celebrated triumph as they marked the conclusion of their years spent in high school on June 18. Gathered with family members at the Hofstra David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex, it was a joyous event as graduates reflected on their academic careers and looked toward the future. Starting off the 63rd commencement, Student Council Vice President Christopher Powers presented the Pledge of Allegiance and senior members of the concert choir, under direction of Alison Sellars, sang the national anthem. Division Principal John Coscia welcomed families and had graduates think about the meaning of “commencement”—“to begin or come into existence,” he said, “which all of you are doing here today. You’re coming into your own existence as young men and women about to enter a new world.” The first diploma to be handed off by Coscia was for Superintendent of Schools Dr. Tonie McDonald, who is retiring this year. He acknowledged McDonald’s guidance that has helped Levittown be a renowned and successful school district and added, “What I consider to be Dr. McDonald’s greatest strength is that she can get you to believe in yourself better than anyone else.” In her remarks, McDonald told graduates that their commencement will be unforgettable but reminded them that the

most impactful moments happened alongside their peers at school. “Keep in mind, those experiences would not have happened without the love and support from the people around you,” she said. “Along the way, however, you were thrown some curves. This particular group of students has negotiated situations we never could have imagined.” Nassau County Legislator John Ferretti, a graduate of Division Avenue, was the keynote speaker and shared his congratulations. He discussed life lessons he has learned in “diligence,” “altruism,” “hard work” and “self”—representing Division Avenue’s acronym. Salutatorian Grace Lim invoked quotes

from the animated series, Avatar: The Last Airbender, that she retained as life lessons. “’It is important to grow wisdom from many different places,’” she cited. “Just as it’s important for us to spend time in a structured educational environment every day, it’s also important for us to be kids and have fun.” In her valedictory address, Simar Parmar told her peers how grateful she is to have attended high school with them. “Although our high school experience had excessive social isolation and rescheduled and canceled events, we made it through and we’re all able to celebrate this momentous occasion.” Class of 2022 Vice President Kate Egan gave the class address and also reflected on the struggles her class has overcome. “The pandemic hit right in the middle of high school and forced us to grow through it,” she said. “It gave a new appreciation for coming to school every day.” Board of Education President Peggy Marenghi congratulated the Class of 2022 and led the conferring of diplomas. Each graduate crossed the stage to receive their diplomas to the sound of thunderous cheers from friends and family. After a slide show showcased the many memories made at Division Avenue, members of the senior concert choir performed Joyce Eilers Bacak’s “The Irish Blessing,” marking the Class of 2022 becoming alumni of the Levittown School District. —Submitted by Levittown Public Schools

and creating new diversity and inclusion initiatives, among them, an NCBA Scholarship and Pre-Law Society for

college students who are interested in a career in law. “The tapestry of our association becomes richer because of diversity.

Summer of ’62: Casey’s Return, Roger’s Revenge told the front office, “If it was up to me, I’d like to build a house on top of a mountain, and if I never saw another person, that would be okay with me.”

JOSEPH SCOTCHIE

jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

t’s summertime and the Mets and Yankees are living in first place. A Subway Series? Well, there are miles of playoff action before that happens. The Mets are celebrating their 60th anniversary this year and that means six decades of rivalry with the mighty Yankees. It’s not the Yankee-Dodger showdowns of the Fifties, but it’s had its moments. Two figures are central to the early Yankees-Mets era: Casey Stengel and George Weiss. By 1960, the Yankees were ready to fire Stengel, the manager who led the team to five straight World Series wins in the first five years as skipper. Stengel was pushing 70, the Yankees had a poor season in 1959, Stengel had a habit of falling asleep during the game, younger players found him often cruel and impatient. Above all, the Yankees worried about losing popular coach Ralph Houk to a rival team. Houk, a former bullpen catcher, was being groomed as the future Yankees manager. The team made it easy by losing the 1960 World Series to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Stengel made a major blunder in waiting for game three, played at Yankee Stadium, to start his ace, Whitey Ford. If Ford had started game one and four, then he would have been on the hill for the decisive game, if indeed the series had gone that far. In Ford’s two games, the Bombers won by lopsided margins. But they lost and Stengel, to the great displeasure of fans and the media, was sacked. As significant was the firing of George Weiss, the longtime general manager who hired Stengel in 1950. For the Yankees, that turned out to be a long-term blunder. In 1962, the Mets took flight. Stengel owned New York. He implored the “youth of America” to come to New York and play for the Mets. The team was the first to have their own mascot. They also had a theme song. The comical Stengel foresaw a day when women would give birth to “little Metsies” who would indeed lead the franchise to future glory. It worked. The 1962 Mets drew 283,000 more fans that year than the 1957 New York Giants, the last tenants of the long-lost Polo Grounds. Who can forget that team? They went 40-120, but the fans loved them anyway. The names ring out: Richie Ashburn, Elia Chacon, Charley Neal, Charles “Choo

Casey Stengel at the helm triple, only to see it erased. The man forgot to touch first base and while he was it, second base, too. Being an original Met became a badge of honor. They remain the stuff of history: Loveable losers, sure, but also Casey’s boys who, game after game, went into the breach to almost certain defeat. To paraphrase Walt Whitman, they could say: I was the man, I was there, I suffered, but hey, I brought National League baseball back to New York. Everyone loved those original Mets.

Marv could hit. He just had trouble finding the bases. Once he cleared the bases with a

In Yankee camp that year, there was trouble in paradise. The year before, the Bombers won 109 games while dusting off the Cincinnati Reds in the Fall Classic. That year, Roger Maris hit 61 home runs, breaking Babe Ruth’s 1927 record. The pressure on Maris was inhumane. Clumps of hair kept falling out of his head as he chased The Babe. In spring training 1962, it all fell apart. Maris feuded with sportswriters. The man playfully responded to an autograph request with an “X.” (He later gave the youngster his full name.) Too late. The press ripped the man as a one-shot wonder: “The Whiner,” “Rude Roger,” and a “punk ball player.” Maris was miserable. He

The Yankees were still the Yankees: Maris, Mickey Mantle, Elston Howard, Bobby Richardson, Tony Kubek, Clete Boyer, Tom Tresh. A staff anchored by Ford, Bill Stafford, Ralph Terry, and rookie Jim Bouton remained the class of the American League. In the World Series, the Bombers faced off against a San Francisco powerhouse lineup led by Willie Mays, Orlando Cepeda, Willie McCovey, Jose Pagan, and the Alou brothers, Matty and Felipe. It all came down to the ninth inning of game seven. Leading 1-0, Ralph Terry faced Mays with two outs and Matty Alou on first. The Say Hey Kid ripped a double down the right field line. The play was Roger’s Revenge: The man played the ball off the fence, throwing a bullet to cut-off man Bobby Richardson who fired his own strike to Howard. The next batter, Willie McCovey, hit a screaming line drive to Richardson for out three. The Mays double remains a miracle play: Two outs, a runner on first, an extra base hit. Of course you score. Maris, a former high school football star, was more than a home run hitter: He was also a great outfielder. The story of those early Mets-Yankees years wasn’t necessarily Stengel or Maris. It was George Weiss. This was the man the Bombers should have never let go. Weiss was elderly, but the fires still burned. The Mets eagerly signed Weiss as GM. The latter convinced a reluctant Stengel to come back as manager. Weiss began making moves. In 1964, the Amazins moved into spacious Shea Stadium. Weiss built a team centered around pitching and defense. His prospects included Kranepool, Cleon Jones, Tug McGraw, Ron Swoboda, and Bud Harrelson, all indispensable to the Mets success. Would the Yankees have fallen so sharply if Weiss was still at the helm? The Yanks were down, the Mets, with the brash Tom Seaver as ace of the pitching staff, were up. From 1964 to 1976, New York was a Mets town. The Yankees, now playing in a refurbished Yankee Stadium, acquired some swagger of their own. The mercurial but happy-spending George Steinbrenner was the new owner. He hired Billy Martin, baseball’s volatile genius, as his skipper. What a pair they made: Billy hired and fired, hired and fired, hired and fired again. No matter. The Bombers ran off a championship era of their own. As for 2022? Game on!

The Angels Of Northwell After a year of suffering from back pain after falling off a step stool, I decided, along with my neurosurgeon, to repair the damage to my lower back through the wonders of surgery. Dr. Michael Lefkowitz and his team worked miracles on my lower back, repairing the fracture and relieving the pressure on my nerves. It took more than six hours to complete the surgery in Northwell’s Manhasset Hospital operating room. I spent five nights in Manhasset before being transferred to Glen Cove for a week of inpatient acute rehab. As I was mentally preparing for surgery and the subsequent recovery, nothing could have prepared me for the helplessness I would be going through. Even if I wanted to do something for myself, I wasn’t allowed. Early in my stay, I had to rely on the nursing staff to roll me over from my back to my side. Let me tell you something about being a patient in a hospital. Dignity goes right out the door. Once the catheter was removed, my best friend became the urinal. Unable to walk alone, I couldn’t go anywhere

except the bed to a chair and back again. If I had to go to the bathroom, I had to be delivered in a “Sara steady” and make the best of a commode. And that, my friends, was the least of my dignity problems. That’s where the angels stepped up to the plate. At my lowest point, they were always there to lend a helping hand. It didn’t matter who was on shift at the time. An angel showed up to help me whenever I pressed that call button. Although my early days in Manhasset were a little blurry, things changed once I got to

Glen Cove for rehab. Not only did the staff have me up and dressed every day by 7 a.m., but I also received two hours of physical therapy and an hour of occupational therapy. I know it sounds crazy, but since I’ve been home, I miss all the attention I was getting while in the hospital. Don’t get me wrong, every minute I was there, I wanted to be home. Most of the night nurses called me “Mr. Paul.” They all laughed at my jokes and did everything they could to make me comfortable. I understand it’s their job, but it was the way they delivered my care. They weren’t just taking care of me because they had to. They knew how much I needed them, and they stepped up to the plate and knocked it out of the park every time. It didn’t matter how embarrassing it was for me; they made it a pleasant experience every time. Of course, maybe the fact that I told them I was a newspaper columnist and would be writing a column about them had something to do with it? I wish I could remember the name of everyone who took care of me to thank them personally, but that ship has

sailed. The entire staff on the 1-South Rehab unit knows who they are. Don’t let me forget the physical therapists and occupational therapists, either. To name some, but not all, would be unfair. Since being discharged from rehab in Glen Cove, I’ve been home under the watchful eye of my wife and Louie the Labrador. Sleeping was (and still is) the most challenging part because I can’t get comfortable yet. It’s certainly getting better every day. There’s not a lot you can do when recovering from spinal surgery. I’ve spent way too much time watching shows on Netflix, but what else is there? I’ve still got a long recovery ahead of me, but my main goal will be my son Kevin’s wedding at the end of July. I want to walk into that reception hall on my own. Thanks to all the angels of Northwell, I have a good shot at that. Paul DiSclafani’s new book, A View From The Bench, is a collection of his favorite Long Island Living columns. It’s available wherever books are sold.

American Gets An ‘F’ On Gun Control We are truly living in interesting times. The COVID-19 damaged economy has made great strides towards normality, but at the same time, we are being buffeted with the shock of inflation. We can cope with all of these ups and downs, but we just can’t seem to get control of the gun carnage that is taking place all over America. Not a day goes by without some incident, large or small, involving death by guns. We were still healing from the gun violence in Buffalo and Texas, and we now face a new tragedy in Highland Park, IL. There is no doubt that by the time this column is published, there will be another calamity in another state, involving an assault-type weapon possessed by a mentally unstable person. If grades were to be given out to legislators for action on gun control, New York State and Governor Kathy Hochul have earned an “A”. The recently

INSIDE POLITICS Jerry Kremer

completed legislative special session produced a new set of laws designed to deal specifically with the recent Supreme Court decision throwing out New York’s gun carry permit law. The changes to the carry permit law include requiring

additional training before a permit can be issued; review of the social media activity of the permit applicant and creating “sensitive” locations in the state where a permit holder is not allowed to enter with a gun covered by the permit. The so-called sensitive areas include Times Square, schools, hospitals, places of public assembly and houses of worship. These new changes are on top of the passage of the New York Safe Act. That Act bans assault weapons, requires pistol holders to be re-certified periodically, and cracks down on the potential purchase of guns by people with mental illness. It does not deprive the average gun owner from owning a gun for protection, hunting or related uses that are covered by the Second Amendment cases. The U.S. Congress has made an attempt to impose some gun restrictions despite strong opposition by the National Rifle

Association. Even though those changes are historic, they were nowhere near as comprehensive as the New York gun changes. At the same time as places like New York have acted, there is a different story in Texas, which has adopted a law that eliminates the need to obtain a license to carry a handgun. Previous Texas law allowed guns to be brought into houses of worship and other public places. In the years ahead America will find ways to make our country more prosperous but we lack the national will to stop the gun carnage that dominates our everyday lives.

Teen Exercise Can Help Mental Health The COVID-19 pandemic has presented numerous challenges for our country. The disease has taken more than a million lives in the United States and adversely affected tens of millions more. The U.S. is now facing a mental health crisis on top of and in part because of the health emergency these last two years. Between lockdowns, restrictions and virtual schooling and work, we have lacked the human interaction and physical activity that helped keep us mentally and emotionally healthy. These situations have also led to harmful routines and bad habits for many of us, most acutely among kids and adolescents. There is a real need for government institutions, non-profit organizations and companies to step up and provide mental health services—especially for our nation’s young people. Nearly half of Gen Z (46 percent) said that their mental health was worse than before the pandemic, according to a survey by the American Psychological

Dr. Richard Carmona Association. And now, as schools let out for the summer, kids will be left to their own devices—both literally and figuratively—to find ways to occupy themselves and their minds. Those struggling with emotional challenges already may find the summertime detachment more than they can handle. It’s important that parents and community leaders identify and support activities to keep young people engaged and active once school is out. Civic summer recreation programs, community pools

and camps can provide important and inclusive outlets for kids and teenagers. The National Suicide Prevention Hotline will launch its nationwide 3-digit hotline (988) so that anyone can quickly get in touch with a mental health professional whenever they need may it. At least one nationwide company is opening its doors for teens to use their facilities free of cost this summer. Planet Fitness is launching its Pass that will allow high schoolers from 14 to 19 to exercise for free at their locations across the U.S. and Canada. Empowering physical activity and health is paramount in fighting the mental health challenges our youngest generations now face. Nearly 92 percent of teens agree that regular physical activity helps them feel better mentally. Lockdowns and restrictions during the pandemic effectively hamstrung parents and children for nearly two years. Classrooms and offices went virtual and the majority of the day was spent behind screens. While adults had to

manage the same circumstances as their children, their situations allowed for far more freedom. Many adolescents reported that their usual health and fitness routines were disrupted as a result of the last two years. Combine that with the findings from the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in which only 15 percent of middle and high school aged children reported having met the recommended hour of physical activity a day and it is quite clear that the pandemic has exacerbated an adolescent health crisis. Fitness centers are a key cog in the fight against COVID-19. Programs like Planet Fitness’s High School Summer Pass can provide access to safe and reliable exercise, which is crucial in order to build a robust immune system. The CDC found that the rate of body mass index (BMI) increase doubled during the pandemic, compared to pre-pandemic levels, in kids ages 2 to 19. Exercise and a strong immune system can significantly lower the risks of

comorbidities such as obesity and diabetes that contribute to long term health consequences. Raised in New York City’s Harlem neighborhood, I know too well about the lack of resources and opportunities that low-income minority populations struggle with. Communities of color have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic. Whether it be healthcare access, educational and wealth gaps, or discrimination, underserved communities are at the forefront of the fight for our health. As the pandemic seems to near its end, the physical and mental health challenges of the last two years cannot be forgotten. We must commit to strengthening our youths’ physical and mental health—and only by working together can we move forward toward a healthier America. Richard H. Carmona, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.C.S., was the 17th surgeon general of the United States. He advises Planet Fitness on physical and mental health issues.

Four Tips To Help Avoid Damage To Your Hearing When Returning To The Gym With gym traffic returning to levels nearly on par with before the COVID-19 pandemic, many New York State residents may be turning up the effort on their workouts by returning to public fitness facilities with the goal of improving their well-being. Yet turning up the volume on your favorite workout playlist when at the gym could contribute to something else: noise-induced hearing loss. In fact, a recent study found 19 percent of people age 19 to 29 already experience some degree of hearing loss, while more than 1.1 billion young people in the coming years are at risk of developing hearing problems. That’s in part due to consistent exposure to loud sounds while doing everyday activities, including listening to music pumped through personal audio devices such as smartphones. It’s important to note that hearing loss usually develops gradually, often before the person even notices a problem. Once it occurs, hearing loss can’t be repaired like a broken arm or leg, with hearing aids usually the best option for treatment. While our ability to hear generally declines to some degree as we age, noise-induced

AUDIOLOGY CARE

Claire Collard Johnson

hearing loss in many cases can be prevented. As more people return to public gyms for the first time since before the pandemic, it’s an ideal reminder that people should limit or avoid exposure to high-decibel noises in all settings. Plus, public fitness centers may present several potentially overlooked sources of loud sounds, so here are four tips to help maintain your hearing health during and after your next gym visit: Invest In Noise-Canceling Headphones And Lower The Volume Earbud headphones are nearly ubiquitous at the gym, and for good reason: Studies show listening

to fast-paced music can actually improve stamina and boost mood. But the prolonged use of earbuds— especially at high volume—can damage hearing cells. Even more concerning, health clubs are often loud places to begin with, prompting some people to further crank up the volume on their digital devices to drown out the background noise. Instead, people should opt for noise-canceling earbuds or overthe-ear headphones and follow the 60/60 rule, which means limiting earbuds to 60 minutes at a time at 60 percent of the player’s maximum volume. For help, some smartphones include “safe listening” features, including software that tracks the level and duration of the user’s exposure to sound. Protect Your Hearing During Group Fitness Classes Fitness classes such as spinning or cross-training are great ways to stay motivated and research shows working out in a group offers additional health benefits compared to going solo. But high-intensity fitness classes often play music exceeding 95 decibels, which is a level that can—over time—contribute to hearing loss. The risk is even greater for fitness-class instructors due

to consistent exposure to loud music over many years. In fact, one study found that fitness-class instructors experience higher rates of hearing loss than the broader population. A potential solution: Some clubs make available free foam earplugs for class attendees or you can bring a reusable pair to help provide protection. When selecting your spot for class, look for locations as far away as possible from the speakers. Many smartphones and fitness trackers have sound meter apps, which can help you evaluate noise levels at the gym and in other settings. Post-Workout Recovery Most people agree that eating a balanced diet is a key component to a successful fitness regimen. Loading up on healthy foods, such as fruits and vegetables, can also contribute to hearing health. That’s because foods rich in potassium, zinc and magnesium— such as bananas, spinach and yogurt—can provide important nutrients to help maintain hearing health as people age. The inner ear is a delicate organ that needs nourishing fuel to thrive and function properly. Testing And Treatment For the 48 million people with

some degree of hearing loss, it is important to seek care, given people who delay treatment for this condition are at greater risk of falls, dementia and depression. If you or a loved one are experiencing signs of hearing loss, including turning up the volume on the TV to levels that others find too loud, trouble hearing people on the phone and difficulty following conversations in noisy environments, start with an online hearing test. If needed, an in-person appointment can follow, with the option to have custom-programed hearing aids delivered to your doorstep and adjusted virtually through a smartphone. Such programs can help make access to hearing aids more convenient and affordable, offering people significant savings compared to devices sold through traditional channels. Consistent exercise is important to maintaining physical and mental well-being. By following these tips, you can reap the potential health benefits of exercise while reducing the risk of noise-induced hearing loss.

Park. When police arrived, they saw the defendant, standing with three other people, holding an open can of spiked seltzer with a 9mm Beretta pistol in his holster and two loaded magazines. When the defendant was asked to produce identification, Afanador handed officers an NYPD Officer Identification card and a driver’s license. Afanador’s NYPD ID card was clearly marked “No Firearms.” Seven spent 9mm shell casings were recovered from the sand around Afanador. Afanador was arrested by LBPD on March 21, 2021. A co-defendant in the case, Jennifer Sonnick of Long Beach, was charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon (a C violent felony) and prohibited use of a weapon (an A misdemeanor). Sonnick’s case is pending. The case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys Tova Simpson and Brian Rodriguez of the Narcotics, Firearms and Gangs Bureau.

Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly recently announced that a former New York City police officer was sentenced to up to four years in prison for firing several shots into the ocean in Long Beach, from a weapon that was in his possession illegally, in March 2021. David Afanador, 41, of Long Beach, pleaded guilty before Judge Robert Bogle on March 22, to a charge of criminal possession of a firearm (an E felony). The defendant was sentenced to 1⅓ to 4 years in prison. “This defendant knew he could not legally possess a firearm, but still made the decision to drink with friends on a beach and recklessly fire a loaded gun several times into the ocean,” Donnelly said. “Afanador’s behavior was foolish, dangerous, and illegal. We hope that his sentence sends a message to anyone thinking about illegally discharging a weapon in Nassau County in the name of fun.” Donnelly said that on March 21, 2021, Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) officers responded to a call of several shots fired near Franklin Boulevard and Ocean Beach

LONG ISLAND WEEKLY

Everclear Brings Its World Of Noise On The Road BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

f there’s one phrase to describe Art Alexakis in relation to his musical career arc it would be that of a late bloomer. It was in 1992 when the L.A. native recorded a demo for what would become his group’s 1993 full-length debut World of Noise. Time apparently flies when you’re having fun because Alexakis is out on the road supporting the 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of this formerly out-of-print release. The new version contains six bonus songs including the previously unreleased “Drunk Again” and “Nervous & Weird 2001 Remix” and is currently only available on streaming platforms. A vinyl-only version will be available for release later in the year. And while 30 is a nice round milestone number, Alexakis admits the decision to reissue World of Noise was the end result of some decluttering. “While I knew it was the 30th anniversary, [reissuing it] really wasn’t in the forefront of my mind despite it being out of print for a while and not being [available] on any platforms,” he said “But in January, me and Freddy Herrera, my bass player at the time, were going through the storage and some boxes I hadn’t dealt with for years. I kept moving them from space to space. I found all these tapes and the original four-track master and mixed tapes for World of Noise. I had them baked and also found a bunch of other tapes that weren’t even in boxes and didn’t even have names on them. I took those to this guy to bake them. I found the original tapes for all those bonus tracks. I never did like the mastering that they did when it went to Capitol.” Going back 30 years in time might prove to be an awkward exercise for some artists, not unlike revisiting old yearbook photos or journal entries, but for the sexuagenarian

singer-songwriter, it was more about presenting the band’s earlier work on his terms. “There is a song on the Everclear page that everyone’s freaking out about called ‘Deep In and Empty Out,’” he explained. “It was a [friggin’] sketch. Nobody was supposed to put it out for people to hear. It’s like coming to my house and me half-cooking food and giving it to you. I wouldn’t like it and I wouldn’t do it. It’s hard for [fans] to understand. I don’t want to be a dick to people who like my music. That’s Everclear not nice and (Photo by it’s stupid. But at Ashley Osborn) the same time, I’ll tell you when something is done and it’s representative of what I want you to hear. That’s a long-winded way of saying that World of Noise was a release, and even though it’s got some flaws to it and it’s not where I am know, it is a really amazing document of where we were at that time. That’s one of the reasons I wanted to make that record at the time.” While Everclear broke at the same time as a number of other Pacific Northwest acts including Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden, the quartet’s trajectory was quite different. Portland was Alexakis’ home base versus Seattle and while labels were swarming to the Jet City to sign bands, Alexakis was making his own

way by sending out the demo that eventually became World of Noise out to labels, radio stations and publishing outlets around the region while working full-time as a graphic artist. His persistence paid off and resulted in an invite to a certain Texas music festival. “We were just playing in the clubs and we’d have eight people in Portland come see us,” Alexakis recalled. “We were out playing all summer and all fall and I got a chance to make a record in a four-track basement through trading some gear. I told the guys we should go see what we got. In my mind, if it wasn’t working and nothing special about those recordings—I was just going to cut my losses, move to L.A. and become an A&R guy. That was probably what was going to happen. When I started mixing, I knew there was something there. I sent an early mix of it to SXSW and they called me about two weeks later to say we could showcase and they wanted to know if we could be there in a month and a half. I said yes despite the fact that we didn’t have any money for gas or anything. But I figured it out, dude.” Fast forward to the present and Everclear is on the road with fellow ‘90s peers Fastball

and The Nixons. As someone who can still wax rhapsodic about hearing Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith and the Pixies for the first time, Alexakis is all about keeping it fast and loose on stage when asked what fans can expect when they come out to see the band. “If you’re never seen Everclear before, live, we’ve never sounded like our pop hits,” he said. “We play them but they’re more rock. I never thought studio and live were supposed to be the same thing. They’re supposed to have their own flavor to it. That’s the age I grew up with.” As someone who has weathered plenty of rough times, from drug and alcohol addition to a 2019 multiple sclerosis diagnosis and an early 2021 bout with COVID-19 that had his symptoms flair up and put him in the hospital for two months, resiliency and optimism remains Alexakis’ primary superpowers. “My mom taught me to grab a hold of something, sink your teeth into it and just not let go,” he said. “I’m 60 now and talking 30 years of music and a band and going to play shows where people are still buying tickets to come see me play and sing my songs. I’m full of gratitude brother. I’m serious. I’m sober. My program is strong. I’m doing everything in my power to be better with my disease. I don’t ever want to be in a wheelchair. I want to live 20 or 30 years as best I can. What’s going to happen? I don’t know. But it ain’t gonna happen if I don’t try.” Everclear will be appearing with Fastball and The Nixons on July 15 at The Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts, 71 E. Main St., Patchogue, Visit www.patchoguetheatre.com or call 631207-1313. This bill will also be appearing on July 16 at Palladium Times Square, 1515 Broadway, NYC.

Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis

uvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a form of arthritis in children. Arthritis causes joint swelling (inflammation) and joint stiffness. JIA is arthritis that affects one or more joints for at least six weeks in a child age 16 or younger. Unlike adult rheumatoid arthritis, which is ongoing (chronic) and lasts a lifetime, children often outgrow JIA. But the disease can affect bone development in a growing child.

THERE ARE SEVERAL TYPES OF JIA: Systemic onset JIA This type affects one or more joints. There is often a high fever and a skin rash. It may also cause inflammation of internal organs, including the heart, liver, spleen and lymph nodes. It is the least common type. It affects 1 in 10 to about 1 in 7 children with JIA. Oligoarticular JIA This type affects one to four joints in the first six months of disease. If no more joints are affected after six months, this type is called persistent. If more joints are affected after 6 months, it is called extended. Polyarticular JIA This type affects five or more joints in the first six months of disease. Blood tests for rheumatoid factor (RF) will show if this type is RF-positive or RF-negative. Enthesitis-related JIA With this type, a child has arthritis as well as enthesitis. This is a swelling of the tissue where bone meets a tendon or ligament. It often affects the hips, knees and feet. Psoriatic arthritis With this type, a child may have both arthritis and a red, scaly skin disease called psoriasis. Or a child may have arthritis and two or more of the following: • Inflammation of a finger or toe • Pits or ridges in fingernails • A first-degree relative with psoriasis • Undifferentiated arthritis. This is arthritis that has symptoms of 2 or more JIA types above. Or the symptoms might not match any type of JIA. JIA is an autoimmune disease. This means the body’s immune system attacks its own healthy cells and tissues. JIA is caused by several things. These include genes and the environment. This means the disease can run in families, but can also be triggered by exposure to certain things. JIA is linked to part of a gene called HLA antigen DR4. A person with this antigen may be more likely to have the disease. Symptoms may appear during episodes (flare-ups). Or they may be ongoing (chronic). Each child’s symptoms can vary, from swollen joints, eye inflammation, fatigue, fever, rash and more. These symptoms can seem like other health

conditions. Diagnosing JIA may be difficult. There is no single test to confirm the disease. Your child’s healthcare provider will take your child’s health history and do a physical exam. Your child’s provider will ask about your child’s symptoms and any recent illness. JIA is based on symptoms of inflammation that have occurred for 6 weeks or more. The goal of treatment is to reduce pain and stiffness, and help your child keep as normal a lifestyle as possible. Treatment will depend on your child’s symptoms, age, and general health. It will also depend on how severe the condition is.

Help your child manage his or her symptoms by sticking to the treatment plan. This includes getting enough sleep. Encourage exercise and physical therapy and find ways to make it fun. Work with your child’s school to make sure your child has help as needed. Work with other caregivers to help your child take part as much possible in school, social and physical activities. Your child may also qualify for special help under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. You can also help your child find a support group to be around with other children with JIA. —Johns Hopkins Medicine (johnshopkins.org)

Cord Blood Banking Expecting a baby can be a very exciting time for soon-to-be-parents. It can also be very confusing, with many decisions to make. One choice prospective parents often face is whether to donate, bank or discard their baby’s cord blood. Did you know that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates cord blood? Here is some information for expectant parents about the regulations in place designed to help ensure the safety of cord blood for transplantation.

What is cord blood?

Cord blood is the blood contained in the placental blood vessels and umbilical cord, which connects an unborn baby to the mother’s womb. Cord blood contains hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs). At birth, cord blood can be collected (or “recovered”) from the umbilical cord.

What are the options for cord blood banking?

Cord blood can be donated to a public cord blood bank, where it will be stored for potential future use by anyone who may need it. Alternatively, parents may arrange for the cord blood to be stored in a private cord bank, for potential use if it is later needed for treatment of the child from whom it was recovered, or for use in first- or second-degree relatives.

How does FDA regulate cord blood stored for personal or family use?

Cord blood stored for personal use and for use in first- or second-degree relatives that also meets other criteria in FDA’s regulations does not require approval before use. Private cord banks must still comply with other FDA requirements, including establishment registration and listing, donor screening and testing for infectious diseases (except when used for the original donor), reporting and labeling

requirements, and compliance with current good tissue practice regulations.

Are there any FDA approved uses for cord blood?

Cord blood can be used in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation procedures in patients with some disorders affecting the hematopoietic (blood forming) system. For example, cord blood transplants have been used to treat patients with certain blood cancers and some inherited metabolic and immune system disorders.

Does FDA inspect facilities that store cord blood?

Yes. Registered establishments are subject to FDA inspection to ensure they are complying with the regulations. The inspections of private banks are designed to ensure prevention of infectious disease transmission.

Where can I get more information about donating my baby’s cord blood? To make your baby’s cord blood available for use by anyone who needs a cord blood transplant, you may donate it to a public cord blood bank.

Where can I get more information about banking my baby’s cord blood?

To make your baby’s cord blood available for use by the child from whom it was recovered, or for use in first- or second-degree relatives, you may bank it with a private cord blood bank. For some diseases, such as genetically heritable diseases, in the event that your child would need treatment, it is possible that the cord blood would not be recommended for such use. —Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

nderstanding hepatitis is a bit like learning about alphabet soup. Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver. The term does not in any way imply the reason or cause that the liver is inflamed. Inflammation of the liver does not mean that the liver is big or swollen. In fact, most people with hepatitis have normal sized or small livers. We classify hepatitis by what the causes are. The most common cause of hepatitis are viruses. These viruses are named, by convention, for letters of the alphabet, for example hepatitis A, hepatitis B, etc. These viruses are not related in any way other than causing inflammation of the liver. Other conditions such as COVID, autoimmune disease, alcohol use and hereditary conditions may also cause hepatitis. Medications, illicit drugs, herbal treatments and overthe-counter natural remedies are common causes of hepatitis. Examples of common medications known to cause inflammation of the liver include

Alphabet Soup

David Bernstein, MD

atorvastatins (Lipitor), ibuprofen, antibiotics and acetaminophen. Examples of natural medications causing hepatitis include chaparral leaf, valerian, skullcap, mistletoe, germander, kava kava, Jin Bu Huan and pyrrolizidine alkaloids. Let’s talk for a moment about the different hepatitis viruses. Hepatitis A is a common virus causing hepatitis. It is transmitted from hand to mouth. This is the virus we often read about which may occur in sporadic

outbreaks at such venues as restaurants or cruise ships. It is common in the summer when people eat outdoors and food may have been left in the sun. After a single exposure, almost all people fully recover and develop a lifelong immunity to reinfection. A vaccine is available for those not previously exposed. Hepatitis B infections appear to be decreasing in the United States. This is a disease which is usually transmitted through contaminated blood products, sex or drugs. Routine vaccination of all children is now the law in the United States. This should lead to even further decreases in the number of new cases. Hepatitis B is not a single virus but a family of viruses. At least seven subtypes or genotypes of hepatitis B have been described and these genotypes, named A through G, seem to influence the outcome of infection. Genotypes A and C are most common. Most AsianAmericans are infected with genotype C. Genotype C is more frequently associated with the

development of cirrhosis and liver cancer. There is treatment, but for hepatitis B but there is no cure. Hepatitis C is usually transmitted by some sort of blood-to-blood contact such as intravenous drug use, intranasal cocaine use, previous blood transfusions or other high-risk behavior. New cases of hepatitis C are on the rise. Hepatitis C remains common on the south shore of Long Island, especially in Suffolk County. Hepatitis C is also not a single virus but rather a family of viruses termed “genotype.” All genotypes of hepatitis C are curable with simple, easy to take and highly effective oral treatments. Hepatitis D is uncommon and is associated with hepatitis B infection. Hepatitis D is transmitted in the same fashion as hepatitis B. Of all the hepatitis viruses, it is the one most likely to progress to cirrhosis and liver cancer. Treatments for hepatitis D are currently under study. Hepatitis E appears to be increasing in frequency in the US. It is transmitted via the fecal-oral

route, like hepatitis A. Hepatitis E infections have been linked to raw or undercooked pork or game meat. Most infections are self-limited and no specific treatments are available. What is really important is to understand that all causes of hepatitis are not created equal. While most cases are self-limited and do not cause long-term damage, certain viruses, alcohol, autoimmune disease, hereditary disease and even medications can lead to the development of liver failure, cirrhosis and its complications, as well as liver cancer. We can prevent hepatitis A, B and D with vaccination. Alcohol related hepatitis can be prevented by limiting or avoiding alcohol. We can use alternative and complementary medicines with the right degree of caution. The more we understand these conditions and seek care when appropriate, the less likely that hepatitis will cause long-term damage to the liver. —David Bernstein, MD, MACG, FAASLD, AGAF, FACP

left lip and cleft palate are openings or splits in the upper lip, the roof of the mouth (palate) or both. Cleft lip and cleft palate result when facial structures that are developing in an unborn baby don’t close completely. Cleft lip and cleft palate are among the most common birth defects. They most commonly occur as isolated birth defects but are also associated with many inherited genetic conditions or syndromes. Having a baby born with a cleft can be upsetting, but cleft lip and cleft palate can be corrected. In most babies, a series of surgeries can restore normal function and achieve a more normal appearance with minimal scarring. Usually, a split (cleft) in the lip or palate is immediately identifiable at birth. Cleft lip and cleft palate may appear as: • A split in the lip and roof of the mouth (palate) that affects one or both sides of the face • A split in the lip that appears as only a small notch in the lip or extends from the lip through the upper gum and palate into the bottom of the nose • A split in the roof of the mouth that doesn’t affect the appearance of the face

Less commonly, a cleft occurs only in the muscles of the soft palate (submucous cleft palate), which are at the back of the mouth and covered by the mouth’s lining. This type of cleft often goes unnoticed at birth and may not be diagnosed until later when signs develop. A cleft lip and cleft palate are usually noticed at birth, and your doctor may start coordinating care at that time. If your baby has signs and symptoms of a submucous cleft palate, make an appointment with your child’s doctor. Cleft lip and cleft palate occur when tissues in the baby’s face and mouth don’t fuse properly. Normally, the tissues that make up the lip and palate fuse together in the second and third months of pregnancy. But in babies with cleft lip and cleft palate, the fusion never takes place or occurs only part way, leaving an opening (cleft). Researchers believe that most cases of cleft lip and cleft palate are caused by an interaction of genetic and environmental factors. In many babies, a definite cause isn’t discovered. The mother or the father can pass on genes that cause clefting, either alone or as part of a genetic syndrome that includes a cleft lip or cleft palate as one of its signs. In some cases, babies inherit

a gene that makes them more likely to develop a cleft, and then an environmental trigger actually causes the cleft to occur. Several factors may increase the likelihood of a baby developing a cleft lip and cleft palate, including: • Family history. Parents with a family history of cleft lip or cleft palate face a higher risk of having a baby with a cleft. • Exposure to certain substances during pregnancy. Cleft lip and cleft palate may be more likely to occur in pregnant women who smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol or take certain medications. • Having diabetes. There is some evidence that women diagnosed with diabetes before pregnancy may have an increased risk of having a baby with a cleft lip with or without a cleft palate. • Being obese during pregnancy. There is some evidence that babies born to obese women may have increased risk of cleft lip and palate. • Males are more likely to have a cleft lip with or without cleft palate. Cleft palate without cleft lip is more common in females. In the United States, cleft lip and palate are reportedly most common in Native Americans and least common in

African-Americans. Children with cleft lip with or without cleft palate face a variety of challenges, depending on the type and severity of the cleft, including difficulty feeding, ear infections, hearing loss, dental problems and speech difficulties. —Mayo Clinic (www.mayoclinic.org)

That process that has entertained kids—and adults—for generations is a defense mechanism for the bugs, and it has a special name: conglobation, which is a big, fancy word that means “to form into a ball.” And while this ability to conglobate may be the most entertaining thing about these tiny critters—and where the term roly-poly comes from – there’s much more to them than that.

This home at 89 Robby Ln. on the border of New Hyde Park in Manhasset Hills sold on June 27 for $1,175,000. It is located within the Herricks School District on a quiet street and is in super mint condition. It has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The backyard is lush, large and flat. It has gas heat and central air conditioning. The home has hardwood floors throughout, a finished basement and a two-car attached garage.

They go by many names

Roly-poly is a common nickname for these creatures, but it’s certainly not the only name they go by. Some people call them wood shrimp or doodlebugs, and in England they have dozens of nicknames, including chiggypigs, penny sows and cheesybugs. The official name for these creatures is pillbug. They are also sometimes called woodlice, because they are often found under logs. Pillbugs are sometimes also referred to as sowbugs, although they are two separate species, according to the University of Florida. One key difference between pillbugs and sowbugs is that pillbugs can roll themselves into a ball, while sowbugs cannot.

They’re not bugs

That’s right, pillbugs aren’t insects. They are actually crustaceans, which means they are more closely related to shrimp, crabs and crayfish than they are to the ants and other insects that inhabit the same soil. Roly-polies are terrestrial crustaceans and the only crustaceans that have adapted to living entirely on land, according to the University of Kentucky’s College of Agriculture, Food and Environment.

They have a job to do

Location...location...location. This home at 102 Stratford Rd. in New Hyde Park is truly an investor’s delight, full of endless possibilities. This home sold on June 30 for $660,000. It is a spacious four bedroom Cape-style home that has two bathrooms. It has hardwood floors. The gas burner and roof were renovated in 2016. It has a detached garage. The home is located within the desirable Herricks School District and is close to highways, shopping and transportation.

Pillbugs are scavengers, and they mainly eat decaying plant matter and other decomposing material. They serve as decomposers, breaking down decaying material through eating it and then returning the nutrients to the soil, Sciencing reports. Because they are sensitive to environmental changes, pillbugs are also considered a biological indicator, providing information about the health of the ecosystems in which they are found.

his is part of a series on traveling the United States by train. Long Island is my life. I was born at Stony Brook University Hospital, spent my first few years in Middle Island in Suffolk County and then moved just 20 to 30 minutes away to Centereach, another Suffolk County community, where I’ve lived ever since. I went to Stony Brook University for college, and since I studied journalism I was able to do an internship for 27East out in Southampton, where I wrote for their paper’s Art & Living Page. After graduating, I worked as a journalist in Nassau County since I got my first job in March 2020. I’ve traveled outside Long Island, of course.

my grandmother. I even took a trip to the Dominican Republic with my mom a few years ago. But, my knowledge of the United States primarily consists of the East Coast. That’s why my interest was piqued when my good friend, over breakfast this past Halloween, mentioned that she wanted to drive across the country and spend a lot of time doing it. I asked her if I could join and she said yes. We went through several different documents laying out several different plans. Finally, we had a route. But I began to panic at the thought of driving across the middle of nowhere. That’s why we decided on Amtrak. We left for our trip the afternoon of July 1, taking the Long Island Rail Road to Penn Station, and then Amtrak to Erie, PA. Something we did not expect was the fact that services like Uber can be hard to come by. We were stuck at the station for about three hours in search of an Uber. Finally, we found one and we got to our Airbnb. It’s hard traveling the United States without a car. We tried public transportation to go to Presque Isle State Park, but after walking 20 minutes to the bus station, the

Around Australia

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). As long as people are involved, there’s a possibility of error, not to mention disappoint or even rejection. That’s what makes the risks you take so remarkable. You’ll be admired for your bravery, but by now it’s easy for you. The more you accept yourself, the less you worry about the occasional slights of the world.

Solution: 24 Letters

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have learned the ins and outs of a daunting process, and now you’re at ease with the way it works. Having figured out the maze, you’ll help others through it. Your relaxed position allows you to see things as interesting and beautiful. With a little work, you’ll communicate in a relatable way about your experience.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). New environments will bring out a different side of you and do the same for the others around you. The spirit of discovery is afoot. Fun questions invite surprising answers. No matter how long you’ve known a person, there’s always something new to learn. You’re especially compatible with Libra and Aries these days. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The distant point you see is not your destination, but you can’t make out anything beyond it. That’s OK. Journey to that point, and when you get there, you’ll be able to see farther. Your theories about what you can and can’t do will be incorrect. To find out what you’re capable of, make a commitment and strive for it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have a dependable crew, and they depend on you, too. Even so, you’ll appreciate the autonomy others exhibit and grow from what’s learned in the spaces when you’re apart from one another. You’ll flex your power outside of a relationship and then reconvene. The relationship grows mighty. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Bonds are born of necessity and curiosity. You’ll start an educational journey. The skill is difficult to obtain, but you’ll add it with practice. Learning within a team will be the fastest, easiest and most complete way. Like soldiers chanting as they march or sailors singing as they row, a group will unite in noise. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Take your time getting to know new people. First dates, interviews and the like don’t give you much to go on. Those situations only give you an account of what a person wants to present. To observe someone in action is better. Also, once a person says, “trust me,” you start to have your doubts. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The way you give your love is totally unique to who you are. It’s not something you can explain, define or measure, but you’ll get plenty of evidence that the relationship you have with someone is a thing unto its own, and it makes you feel quite alive indeed! A domestic vision will come together as planned. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You know so much about the world and yet your mind is still open. That’s why your input is vital in a group. You’ll have to poke around a bit for the truth this week, in the name of healing a situation. You’ll figure out how to help people work together. The sunshine pours in and the good times roll.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

The warm, playful air about you attracts others who enjoy living in the same sunny tone. You’ll often be in a protected bubble with people like this, creating your own world for a time as a respite to the harshness of the outside world. Your creative a nd heartfelt needs get answered in your professional life. Changes in your environment or location will facilitate personal success. A new pursuit will show you someplace you can do good in the world. A sense of belonging prevails.

CONTRACT BRIDGE

By Steve Becker

The vicissitudes of fortune South dealer. Both sides vulnerable. NORTH ♠762 ♥ Q 10 9 5 2 ♦AJ8 ♣K 8 WEST EAST ♠ J 10 9 8 4 ♠A53 ♥7 ♥8 3 ♦94 ♦ Q 10 7 2 ♣ 10 7 6 3 2 ♣A Q J 5 SOUTH ♠KQ ♥A K J 6 4 ♦K653 ♣9 4 The bidding: South West North East 1♥ Pass 3♥ Pass 4♥ Opening lead — jack of spades. It has been said that bridge has all the excitement of war, with only 10 percent of the danger. But in some hands, even the 10 percent can be reduced to zero, as witness this deal played in four hearts. East won the spade lead with the ace and returned a spade to South’s king. Declarer drew two rounds of trump ending in his hand and then led a low diamond to the jack. East took the queen and returned a spade, ruffed by South. Declarer now cashed the A-K of

diamonds, hoping the suit would divide 3-3, in which case he would discard a club from dummy on his fourth diamond. But when the diamonds failed to break evenly and East later turned up with the ace of clubs, South had to go down one. Certainly South was unlucky. He would have made the contract if West had held the queen of diamonds, if the diamonds had divided 3-3, or if West had held the ace of clubs. Nevertheless, declarer should have made the contract despite his bad luck. He should have started by drawing trump ending in dummy, ruffed dummy’s last spade and then led a low diamond to dummy’s eight! East would win with the ten but would be endplayed. Whatever he returned — whether a diamond, a club or a spade (if he had one) — would cost his side a trick, as well as the contract. Nor could West alter the outcome by putting up the nine on the first diamond lead toward dummy. Declarer would simply cover the nine with the jack, and East would again find himself endplayed. Indeed, regardless of the actual lie of the opposing cards, the deep diamond finesse reduces declarer’s chance of losing the contract to zero.

Tomorrow: Bad bidding sometimes pays off.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll lose your inhibitions in the name of interesting and lively relationships. In the end, keeping everyone amused will be well worth the risk and expense. They’ll flock to you because you’re fun and stick with you because you’re also nurturing and loyal. Your popularity will help you meet a goal.

Around Australia

“prove” is at the heart of the word “improvement.” You may not like it when someone disagrees with you, but all improvement comes from having to prove your side. You’ll build a better argument, strengthen your position and win supporters and converts.

Plainedge’s Gina Cantatore Is A Four-Time Champ In Delaware

JAMES ROWAN editorial@antonmediagroup.com

ina Cantatore made every year count at the University of Delaware. This former Plainedge Red Devil made history as a Blue Hen, capturing four cheerleading titles over the course of her career. Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and his colleagues on the Town Board recently recognized North Massapequa’s Cantatore for her athletic and academic accomplishments through her four years at the University of Delaware. She won the UCA National Collegiate Cheerleading Championship for four consecutive years as a member of the University of Delaware Blue Hens, all the while Cantatore earned a top spot on the Dean’s list for four consecutive years, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience. “Gina’s passion for cheerleading was ignited when she joined the Plainedge Bobcat’s Cheerleading team,” Saladino said. “Her dedication to academic success was fostered and flourished during her time in the Plainedge School District. Gina is a shining example of a homegrown superstar and we are so excited to see what she does next.” Added Cantatore: “When I received the Town of Oyster Bay Recognition Citation, the feeling of hometown pride surrounded me. As Supervisor Saladino, the Town Board, Plainedge Schools administrators, my parents, and I gathered for a photograph; it allowed me to reflect on my collegiate accomplishments. Although my journey went through the State of Delaware, the building blocks that got me there were matured at home, on Long Island in Plainedge, and in the Town of Oyster Bay. I was incredibly proud to have made the members of our community proud of our collective teamwork.” Cantatore is one of only six seniors on the cheerleading team to earn a championship ring in all four years. She is set to begin dental school in the fall. In other local sports news. Island Trees had six athletes earn All County honors this spring season. On the diamond, Connor Waiting was selected for baseball while Emily Coffey and Danielle Donahue were named for softball. Kian McCoy was an All County selection in boys lacrosse.

Rounding out the honors for the Bulldogs were Nicolette LoMonte and Marygrace Coll, who both earned All County honors

in girls track and field. LoMonte was the county pole vault champion. Here are the post-season award

winners for the Division boys and girls track teams. All County, boys— Thomas Bonsignore, Joshua Chong, Nathaniel Gonzalez and Jonathon Love. All Division, boys—Gabriel Aguilar, Jaden Byrne, Daniel Collins, Raymond Nicholson, Ronan Postance, Yahir Reyes and Cole Stellman. The girls were led by All County—Anna Cacciuttolo and All Division selections— Rosalie Giraldo Espinosa and Brianna Jules. Here are the MacArthur All County lacrosse players—Matt Papach, James Hegel, Nick Del Grosso, James Napoli, Ryan Larkin, Michael Cassano. Honorable Mention All County went to Steven Weber and Connor Cullen. Hegel and Cullen were also members of the National Honor Society and stars on the Generals football team. Hegel finished the lacrosse season with more than 30 assists, which placed him in the top 10 of the county. James Rowan is an Anton Media Group contributor.
