TOP STORY

Travis Honeyman’s Baseball Journey From Massapequa To Massachusetts DAVE GIL de RUBIO dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

hen the summer collegiate baseball season kicked off back in June, Travis Honeyman was named the CCBL’s (Cape Cod Baseball League) first Player of the Week. It was no mean feat for the Massapequa native, who normally patrols the outfield for the Boston College Eagles during the school year. In making his mark playing his first season in one of the premier collegiate summer leagues, Honeyman is continuing a baseball journey with roots firmly planted in his South Shore community. With this inaugural CCBL stint in his back pocket, the BC junior was headed home to Long Island, where he was going to meet up with an orthopedist to check out potential cartilage damage after getting hit in his hand. And while this most recent development is a minor obstacle (“...I’ll be good to go real soon.”), the positivity of Honeyman’s recent hardball experience is what overwhelmingly informs his answer when asked what it was like to play in the CCBL. “I just really can’t put into words how great a time it was, but it was the most fun I definitely had in my baseball life,” he said. “Playing in BC (Boston College), it’s the collegiate season, so you play with a metal bat and there’s a wood bat difference [playing in the CCBL]. BC plays in the ACC Atlantic Division and that’s a really good conference but the guys down here are all the most talented players from every conference around the United States. Every single game is like a Friday night in the ACC, where it’s the best arms in the country, so that’s a lot of fun.” The CCBL’s long and storied history includes its role as a way station for more than 1.000 former players going on to have major league playing careers, including multiple National Baseball Hall of Famers Pie Traynor, Carlton Fisk, Frank Thomas, Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell. Among the more notable non-MLB Hall of Fame members are Buck Showalter (CCBL Hall of Famer and 1976 league MVP), Robin Ventura (CCBL Hall of Famer), Thurman Munson (CCBL Hall of Famer), Ron Darling (1980 CCBL All-Star Game MVP’ CCBL Hall of Famer), Buster Posey,

Travis Honeyman running to first at Fenway Park. D.J. LeMahieu, Aaron Judge and even current New York Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello (CCBL Hall of Famer). In his first CCBL season, Honeyman acquitted himself well playing for the Orleans Firebirds, hitting lead-off and batting .289 through 24 games putting up 24 hits, scoring 14 runs, stroking four home runs and driving in 10 RBIs. And while Honeyman’s journey to the CCBL started when that league’s coaches caught wind of how well he played for the Ocean State Rays in Rhode Island’s NECBL (New England Collegiate Baseball League) last summer and subsequently vetted him through his BC coaches, Honeyman’s roots were planted when he followed in the footsteps of older brother Bobby, who was later a Seattle Mariners 2018 draft pick. “It was easy to have him as a guy to look up to having him as my older brother,” Honeyman recalled. “I definitely played the game because of him. My brother was an infielder and was probably the best infielder I’ve seen in my life. I played infield throughout high school, but when I got to college, they moved me over to the outfield. I don’t really fit the profile of an infielder—I’m tall and fast. The outfield is the right fit for me because I can run.” Massapequa looms large in Honeyman’s baseball development (“Massapequa is a dynasty for baseball, we’re a big baseball town and we win a lot”) as do coaches Tom Sheedy and Chris Cafiero, who oversee the

Travis Honeyman hitting in a game at Boston College (Photos by Brendan Flynn) Massapequa High School varsity baseball program. It’s with that duo that Honeyman learned the importance of discipline and being part of a winning culture. “Coach Sheedy and Coach Cafiero are probably two of the best coaches I’ve played for in my life and not a lot of people can say that because we’re playing baseball on Long Island,” Honeyman said. “It’s not like we’re in Georgia or Florida. Growing up in Massapequa was the perfect spot because I got used to that culture and working hard. Especially with Coach Sheedy and Coach Caf, you’ve got to work harder or you’re not even going to see the field.” That winning culture translated to Honeyman being a part of Massapequa Chiefs squads that won consecutive Class AA Long Island championships and a 2018 state championship. The latter in particular causes the BC Eagle to perk up when he’s asked about that particular experience. “That was a blast—winning the state championship is everybody’s dream in high school,” he said. “So to be a part of that really showed me how much fun you could actually have playing baseball. That

whole season was just a dream come true. Obviously, at the end getting to put a ring on and celebrate that you’re the best team in the state [was key]. Also, you’re playing in the hardest division, which is Double AA.” Not surprisingly, that work ethic translates to the off-season for Honeyman, who can be found at Farmingdale’s East Coast Strength and Performance, where he trains with Warren Kelly, who the outfielder has been working with since he was 14. “Warren Kelly has been my guy throughout,” Honeyman said. “In the facility I go to, we lift, hit, throw and pretty much do everything. I go pretty much every day. Sometimes I just hang out there for seven hours because I really like the guys.” And while Honeyman is majoring in finance at BC’s Carroll School of Management, the New York Yankees fan’s eyes are firmly set on furthering his professional baseball career. “My goal in life is to play in the major leagues and be a big league All Star,” he said. “Next year I’ll be eligible for the draft, so hopefully I’ll be a good pick, play really well and be in the big leagues for quite some time.”

CORRECTION “The Green Oasis That Is Pinelawn Memorial Park And Arboretum’ that ran in the July 29 issue of the Nassau Observer incorrectly stated that Pinelawn has a deep elm maple in its collection instead of the rare, Nikko Maple that it currently has in its collection. We apologize for this error.

“Our commitment to you will be life-changing”®

The Plainview Water District highly recommends the implementation of smart irrigation controllers to residents to help increase conservation efforts locally. Smart controllers use a wi-fi connection to tap into local weather stations to automatically adjust watering schedules based on local weather conditions, ensuring that lawns and gardens only receive the precise amount of water they need in order to stay lush and green.

Water conservation helps the District facilitate both of these missions.” Water consumption in the Plainview-Old Bethpage community nearly triples during the summer months, which can be strongly attributed to residential irrigation systems. Water conservation will not only reduce unnecessary water waste and save residents money, but will significantly decrease excess pumpage of the aquifer and stresses to the district’s groundwater wells and treatment systems.

uly was Smart Irrigation Month and the Plainview Water District (PWD) would like to remind residents of the benefits of smart controllers and meeting their water conservation goals. With the warm and dry summer weather, district-wide water pumpage numbers are up significantly due to the high use of irrigation systems. As part of its Preserve Plainview initiative, the district would like to provide residents with ways to save water around their homes and businesses.

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE “Smart controllers are known to significantly reduce extra irrigation and water usage,” PWD Commissioner Amanda Field said. “We highly encourage all residents to install this ecofriendly technology. Not only will a smart controller assist in improving conservation while giving residents healthier, more resilient lawns—but these systems have proven to help lower bills, especially those in the third quarter which account for the hottest months of the year.” Smart irrigation controllers are effective at reducing water use because they use information such as local weather conditions,

plant type and soil moisture levels to determine accurate landscaping water needs. The systems also adjust to weather conditions automatically, allowing lawns and gardens to thrive under optimal watering conditions without any user intervention. “Long Island has one water source and, while there is currently no water shortage, it is our responsibility to continue to be proactive and take necessary precautions to help preserve our most precious natural resource,” PWD Commissioner Andrew Bader said. “These best practices and tips are ways that we as a community can create a positive impact on our district in a simple and easy way.”

Here are some simple ways to conserve water this summer: • Follow Nassau County’s Lawn Watering Ordinance • Watering is prohibited between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. • Odd-numbered homes can only water on odd-numbered days. • Even and non-numbered homes can only water on even-numbered days. • Consider replacing your standard irrigation timer with a smart irrigation controller. • Install a rain sensor or check that your current rain sensor is functioning properly. • Use a drip irrigation system to limit water

lost through evaporation and improve amount of water delivered to root systems. • Consider planting drought-resistant shrubs and flowers in your garden or mulch around existing flower beds to retain additional water. For further or if you have any questions, email info@plainviewwater.org, visit www. plainviewwater.org or call the district at 516-931-6469. Residents can also sign up to receive information by submitting their email address through the district’s homepage or following them on Facebook in order to stay up to date with district activities and initiatives. —Submitted by the Plainview Water District

She said, “I absolutely enjoyed every moment of my Business/Operational areas and the Human/Wellness department experience. This opportunity opened my eyes to a side of healthcare I was not interested in and lacked knowledge in. I have learned and made a difference every single day which is something I value tremendously.” On an average day, she can be seen doing any number of these things: sitting in on board meetings with department heads, shadowing the CEO and director of operations, as well as gaining knowledge in case management and the Community

Relations department. Lemanski says there is a strong emphasis placed on interning—and paired together with classroom comprehension, students can get a full picture of their ideal profession. “I believe it is good to intern because you get an opportunity to experience your field of studies in a real-world setting,” she said. “You allow yourself the opportunity to learn beyond the walls of the classroom and get major insight on what it takes to be an administrator in health care. Interning is an experience everyone should take advantage of if they can do so.” —Submitted by Dominican Village

Nassau IDA Must Hold Amazon To Its Job Creation Commitments

isturbing published reports have indicated that Amazon and Syosset Park Development, LLC may be attempting to do an “end-run” around the commitment they made to the Nassau County Industrial Development Agency (IDA) to create 150 new warehouse jobs in Syosset as a condition of them receiving a lucrative package of tax breaks and incentives. This would be an affront to Nassau taxpayers that must be addressed forcefully and with significant repercussions as promised at the outset. In March 2021, the Nassau County IDA awarded approximately $11 million in tax breaks to Amazon and Syosset Park Development, LLC over the course of the next 15 years to aid in the construction of a 204,000 square-foot “last mile” facility on Syosset Park Lots 251 and 252 (305 Robbins Lane, Syosset). These incentives were awarded in part based upon Amazon and Syosset Park Development, LLC’s agreement to create 150 new warehouse jobs in Syosset. Furthermore, as stated in their application to the IDA, that the new warehouse would not “...result in the removal or abandonment of a plant or facility of the applicant … or relocation of any employee of the applicant” located within Nassau County. That is why I was so outraged to read in Newsday on June 23, that Amazon plans to

for Amazon from the onset because of the corporation’s remarkable wealth, its brazen union-busting activities and the documented negative impact on local wages in communities where Amazon sets up shop. Moreover, I believed that a more innovative use of the land would have reaped greater benefits for Syosset residents now and in the future. Nevertheless, the Nassau IDA made a decision to enter an agreement with Amazon and Syosset Park Development, LLC—and now the Nassau IDA must hold them to it. While I am gratified that Chairman Richard Kessel stated he is directly engaging with Amazon to address these shocking

revelations, the Nassau IDA must accept nothing short of full adherence to the agreement that Amazon signed. Should they fail or refuse, the IDA must claw back every cent of tax incentives that were previously awarded to Amazon related to this project. Failure to do so would establish a dangerous precedent for future applicants —one in which acts of non-compliance or even duplicity would not only be permitted, but in fact rewarded. —Arnold W.

Over 50 Fair Returns To Melville

Local beauty queens

nassauobserver@antonmediagroup.com

arbara Kaplan, the East Hills resident who has overseen the annual Over 50 Fair for the past 13 years, has announced that this year’s event will return to its original location, the Melville Marriott, after being at two other venues for the last several years. This year’s event, its “lucky” 13th annual, will be held on Sunday, Sept. 18, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It will offer Baby Boomers, seniors and more opportunities to meet with exhibitors and attend classes geared toward them. Each year, several dozen businesses and nonprofits promote local products and services, including health and wellness, education, travel, and financial services, plus some less expected, such as a hypnotist and psychics. Some of this year’s 20-plus classes include “How to Improve Your Dating and Sex Life After 50” by Maureen Tara Nelson, “Reiki” with Janis Abrams of Gentle Soul Discoveries and “Organizing Your Entire Home” by Tina O’Keeffe of Stow and Behold. Additional classes will include Igniting Business After 50, a comedy show and Immune System Boosting. This event has built a loyal following due to its consistent presentation of various classes, products, and services they find appealing. Feedback from the attendees and exhibitors after the 2021 event was positive. Steven Duncan of New Hyde Park, a four-time Over 50 Fair attendee, said that “[my] wife and I had a wonderful time visiting the vendors and attending classes.” Attendee Bill S. of Hicksville, a three-time attendee, shared that it was a “very nice fair” and that the vendors did a “very good job.” He was pleased that the Over 50 Fair was “live, as it should be, not virtually.” In the Singles Lounge sponsored by MTN Matchmaking, singles will once again have the opportunity to relax, mingle and meet their “special someone.” A new addition is a free photo booth, compliments of Event Pros.

Kaplan also coordinates the hugely successful All Kids Fair each April. She said that the Over 50 Fair is “Overflowing with Opportunities for Age 50+.” “Our attendees enjoy the opportunity to meet with many experts in their fields all in one place,” she said. Many local beauty queens from the Ms. New York Senior America pageant attend every year, including CJ Marie, Ms. New York Senior America 2015; Virginia Werner, Ms. New York Senior America 2013; and Elisabeth Zamarelli, Ph.D., Elite New York American Beauty 2015. The lovely “queens” will also be hosting a dance demonstration as part of the Seasoned Steppers. The INN (Interfaith Nutrition Network), a local non-profit that helps Long Island’s needy, will once again be in attendance. At the 2021 expo, they collected $340 and more than 55 pounds of food donations. Tickets are $5, which includes all classes, exhibits, singles lounge, photo booth, health screenings and more. Those who purchase tickets online at www.Over50Fair.com will receive a special raffle ticket at the event for great prizes. Tickets are also available at the door for $7, and it is free for veterans to attend with ID. This year’s event sponsors include Senior Health Plan Specialists, Acupuncture Wellness Services, InWealth Management, and 516Ads.com/631Ads.com.

Frost’s Gift: America The Innocent Part I

JOSEPH SCOTCHIE jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

obert Frost’s poetry reading at the 1961 presidential inauguration remains the stuff of legend. Universally recognized as the “Good Grey Poet,” Frost, for decades, had been a beloved figure in American culture. In 1960, his fellow New Englander, John F. Kennedy was elected president. The young president invited Frost to read at the inaugural. It would be the first time such an event had taken place. Kennedy was not a writer or even the great reader the media made him out to be. But he was a newspaperman at heart. That was his true calling. However, when his older brother Joe died in World War II, it was up to young Jack to shoulder the family burden

■ '

of being the nation’s first Irish Catholic president. For weeks afterward, Kennedy complained that Frost’s stunning performance upstaged his own “Ask not what your country can do for you,” stemwinder. Well, Mr. President, you did invite him. Up rose Frost to recite. He had composed a poem, “For John F. Kennedy: His Inauguration.” He was 86. At that age, most men are dead, much less writing world-class poetry. The shining sun made it hard to read the lines. In addition, a strong wind threatened to blow the pages off the podium. Vice President Richard Nixon, who had just lost an excruciating close election to Kennedy, tried to keep the pages in place. So too did Vice President-Elect Lyndon Johnson. Frost gave up. He ignored the text. Frost instead read, from memory, his 1942 classic, “The Gift Outright.” In the process, the world missed something priceless: Frost’s reading of “For John F. Kennedy.” 86 years old. And writing verse

Robert Frost reading at the Kennedy inaugural that a man half his age couldn’t touch. Was it a great poem? What is representative of Frost’s world view? Is it jingoistic? Or just heartfelt patriotism? What the poem did was capture the mood of a supremely confident America. It might not have been the real Robert Frost, but it overwhelms the reader.

ROBERT FROST from page 2 By character, by tongue, by native trait, The new world Christopher Columbus found. The French, the Spanish, and the Dutch were downed And counted out. Heroic deeds were done. Elizabeth the First and England won. Then a celebration of American independence. So much those heroes knew and understood, I mean the great four, Washington, John Adams, Jefferson, and Madison— So much they knew as consecrated seers They must have seen ahead what now appears, They would bring empires down about our ears And by example of our Declaration Make everybody want to be a nation. And this is no aristocratic joke At the expense of negligible folk. America, 1961. How innocent the times were. Criticism of Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Madison was out of bounds. All four were revered, unconditionally, by the public. Only consider the dinner Kennedy held in 1962 for an eclectic collection of artists, musicians and writers. “There has never been so much talent in this room expect for the time when Thomas Jefferson dined alone,” the president boldly declared. Even Homer nodded. “Negligible folk” represents the true Frost. The man was no aristocrat. He didn’t care at all for democracy either, but he was Jeffersonian in his love for the plain folk. Yes, how innocent. And how optimistic.

North

Some poor fool has been saying in his heart Glory is out of date in life and art. Our venture in revolution and outlawry Has justified itself in freedom’s story Right down to now in glory upon glory. Come fresh from an election like the last, The greatest vote a people ever cast, So close yet sure to be abided by, It is no miracle our mood is high. Frost’s true vision came in focus as the poem was winding down. There is a call to life a little sterner And braver for the earner, learner, yearner. Less criticism of the field and court. And more preoccupation with the sport. That’s more like it. As with Theodore Roosevelt, Frost preferred the strenuous life. Breathing that brisk New England air for up to nine decades can keep a man young— young enough to write immortal poetry at age 86. Back now to the romantic Frost. It makes the prophet in us all presage The glory of a next Augustan age Of a power leading from its strength and pride, Of young ambition to be tried, Firm in our beliefs without dismay, In any game the nations want to play. A golden age of poetry and power Of which this noonday’s the beginning hour. Can you blame Frost for writing such soaring verse? Again, consider America,

circa 1961. Had the world seen such a nation? Its economic, military and cultural might was unparalleled. When writers like T.S. Eliot, William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway traveled the globe, they were treated like rock stars. The Beatles before The Beatles. Even the Roman Catholic Church felt the winds of change, abandoning its traditional Latin in the disastrous Vatican II council. The postwar boom roared on, fertility rates soared well past the replacement levels. The country had jobs that paid, complete with annual raises and Christmas bonuses.

America the Innocent. Scholars would analyze the presidencies of Jefferson and Madison, but neither man was savaged as they are today. No wonder Americans, for the past three decades, have cried out to have “our country back.” Dies the history, dies the nation? “For John F. Kennedy” may not be representative Robert Frost. His worldview was hardly romantic. It’s impossible to put down. The poem is an unforgettable hymn to a still-young nation at peak confidence. (Next week: “The Gift Outright”)

Hochul’s Dilemmas On MTA Congestion Pricing, Fare Increases And Deficits Governor Kathy Hochul recently said “The M.T.A. is the lifeblood. We will be focusing on ways to generate revenues with congestion pricing. That is back on track after a few hiccups with the federal government. We will have no fare increases planned, because we want people to come back to work.” (Source: Questions for New York’s Candidates for Governor, New York Times, Sunday, June 26) This did not tell the whole story. Congestion pricing continues to be politically sensitive. Final details of who will pay has yet to be determined by the MTA Traffic Mobility Review Board. One year after becoming governor, Hochul announced appointments to fill her five seats. This was made public at the July 27 MTA board meeting. They include Carl Weisbrod, a former city planning and economic development chief who will serve as chairman of the MTA TMRB. He currently is employed with the consultant firm HR&A Advisors. The other four appointees on the board are the former Real Estate Board of New York President John Banks, a past president of the New York Real Estate Board; Scott Rechler, Regional Plan Association chief and the head of developer RXR Realty; MTA Board Member Elizabeth Velez, a past chairperson of the New York Building Congress; and Kathryn Wylde, who heads the Partnership for New York City. This organization represents the city’s business community. No union, commuter or environmental advocacy group leaders were appointed. Elected officials on all levels of government will lobby for

discounts or exemptions for police officers, fire fighters, teachers, low income, New York City outer borough residency, seniors, physically disabled, small commercial delivery businesses, users of electric vehicles, residents living below 60th Street in Manhattan or other special niches. These discounts or exemptions will be adopted to placate their constituents when running for reelection in 2023 or 2024. More discounts translates to less revenues. Nobody can predict if anywhere near $1 billion in annual toll revenues will actually appear.. The MTA has scheduled virtual public hearings in August. For months, all of the MTA board and committee meetings held at MTA HQ in Manhattan have been in person. Why not the same for these public hearings? . In 2019, fare increases for the MTA NYC transit bus, subway and Staten Island Railway, along with Long Island and Metro North Rail Roads were part of the approval process for the $51 billion 2020-24 Five Year Capital Plan. Former Governor Andrew Cuomo, New York City Mayor Bill

de Blasio, the State Legislature and City Council were all in on this financial arrangement. It included 4 percent increases in 2021 and 2023. Continuing to postpone fare increases will add to the MTA financial shortfall. Comptroller Tom DiNapoli just released a devastating report on MTA finances. Hochul never comments on the ongoing fare evasion averaging several hundred million per year. The loss of farebox revenue due to two million pre-COVID-19 riders failing to return also adversely impacts the MTA budget. The MTA’s own updated McKinley Consultants report indicated it will take many more years before ridership ever returns to pre-COVID-19 numbers. Hochul has ignored the impact of inflation on the MTA. The price of both gasoline and diesel fuel has doubled. The engineering cost estimates for capital construction projects will have to be reevaluated for procurement contracts that will be advertised over the next 29 months remaining in the MTA $51 billion 2020-24 Five Year Capital Plan. The same also applies for the purchase of materials for routine maintenance and state of good repair in house track, signal and other projects performed by MTA employees. Future purchases of buses, subway and commuter rail cars may cost more. Vendors who bid on MTA material purchases and capital projects will inevitably pass on their own increased costs for materials including delivery costs How will Hochul assist the MTA in making up for billions in previously anticipated congestion price tolling that may not appear until 2024, along with previously

Running Up That Hill With Stranger Things Call me crazy, but I’m a die-hard Stranger Things fan. The Netflix hit series, which has a fan following in the millions, was first introduced to me by our daughter, who had binge-watched the entire first season, seven years ago. “You are going to LOVE it,” she assured us, but I was more than hesitant. A bit of a backstory: Our daughter absolutely adores horror flicks and has attempted to engage me in them with limited success. Hubby is the horror fan, but for some reason, our girl wanted me to really like them as she did. For the record, her favorite movie of all time is House of 1000 Corpses, followed by The Devil’s Rejects for a close second. Watching those flicks gave me nightmares for a week, so when our daughter stated that Stranger Things would be a favorite series, I didn’t believe her. Color me surprised as Hubby and I binged the first season, followed by the second. The music brought me back to our dating days, when Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, Journey and Cyndi Lauper reigned supreme. I had every cassette by all those artists, (yes, I am THAT old) and I played them so frequently that I feared

SEE YOU AROUND THE TOWN Patty Servidio

the cassette tape would become wrapped around the player heads and be destroyed. I fell in love with the series and every character therein. After a very long hiatus, the series returned for Season 3. The cast was clad in styles that I myself wore when Hubby and I frequented Sunrise Mall, back in the days when it was a hopping place. Although the clothing was kind of hideous, with day-glo colors and bold geometrics on pants and tops, I thought of it as the time when I could truly express myself. The cast, who were coming of age in Season 3, began to express themselves as well and we were

glued to the TV until the season finale. Throughout the year, the Duffer Brothers, creators of Stranger Things, often bestowed small teaser-styled “gifts” to fans, such as information about the upcoming Season 4, the idea that the season would wrap the entire series, and occasional photos from the set. We watched the trailer of Season 4, continuously searching for any clues about the upcoming plot. When Season 4 was finally released, we were beyond thrilled to find out that the season was the penultimate and the Duffers had been green lit for Season 5. When our daughter found out that the series still had a bit more of the story to go, I received a text message all in caps: “THERE IS GOING TO BE A SEASON FIVE!!!” We weren’t the only ones who were thrilled. Throughout Season 4, Max, a character who joined the core cast in Season 2, was haunted by negative thoughts, among other things. Her weapon came in the form of a Walkman, which played Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” in one continuous loop to keep her mind protected. My daughter sent

me a text that read, “I knew all the words to Max’s favorite song, because you played that song all the time in the car.” It was true, “Running Up That Hill” was one of my favorite songs off the The Whole Story album. During my days as a nursing student at SUNY Farmingdale, it was my go-to song that blasted on my Blaupunkt cassette radio on the way to campus. I related to the song in multiple ways, knew the words forward and backward, and at that time was able to reach all the high notes. When our daughter was younger, I played it often enough for her to sing along softly in the back seat of my car. As time went on, the days of cassette players had long passed, and my Kate Bush cassette sat in the attic collecting dust. Yet our daughter

often sang along with the radio whenever the song was played. Now that Season 5 of Stranger Things is a go, I’m strongly considering breaking out that cassette again. I found an old stereo in the basement that can still play both vinyl records and cassette tapes. It might be time to play it again while I await the end of Elle, Mike, Will, Nancy, Steve, Robin, Jonathan, Lucas, Duncan and Max’s story. Truth be told, I hope Vecna, the villain of Season 4, meets his end in his inevitable face-off with Elle. The end of Season 4 leaves most of the cast standing on a hill. I hope Elle is running up it in victory at the end of the series. Patty Servidio is an Anton Media Group columnist.

Check Your Titers

There are vaccines you need as an adult

ou need vaccines throughout your life. Adults need to keep their vaccinations up to date because immunity from childhood vaccines can wear off over time. It is important to have your titers checked annually during your annual doctor’s visit. A titer test is a blood test that detects the presence and levels of certain antibodies in an individual’s blood stream. The test is often done to determine if the individual is immune to a certain virus or if they require a vaccination to increase their immunity. You may already have immunity to the virus that is being tested due to previous vaccinations or if you had contracted the disease in the past. If a titer test reveals that your antibody count is lower than the acceptable immunity threshold, you may require a vaccine or booster to increase your immunity to that virus. You are also at risk for different diseases as an adult. Vaccination is one of the most convenient and safest preventive care measures available. All adults should get: • Flu vaccine every year to protect against seasonal flu • Td/Tdap to protect against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough) Based on your age, health conditions, vaccines you received as a child, and other factors, you may need additional vaccines such as: • Chickenpox • Hepatitis A • Hepatitis B • Human Papillomavirus (HPV) • MMR • Meningococcal • Pneumococcal • Shingles

natural defenses to lower the chances of getting certain diseases as well as suffering complications from these diseases. Vaccines lower your chance of spreading certain diseases. There are many things you want to pass on to your loved ones; a vaccine preventable disease is not one of them. Infants, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems (like those undergoing cancer treatment) are especially vulnerable to vaccine preventable diseases. Vaccines are one of the safest ways to protect your health. Vaccine side effects are usually mild and go away on their own. Severe side effects are very rare.

risk for other diseases due to your age, job, lifestyle, travel, or health conditions.

1. You may be at risk for serious diseases that are still common in the U.S. Each year thousands of adults in the United States get sick from diseases that could be prevented by vaccines — some people are hospitalized, and some even die. Even if you got all your vaccines as a child, the protection from some vaccines can wear off over time. You may also be at

3. You can protect your health and the health of those around you by getting the recommended vaccines. Vaccines lower your chance of getting sick. Vaccines work with your body’s

2. You can’t afford to risk getting sick. Even healthy people can get sick enough to miss work or school. If you’re sick, you may not be able to take care of your family or other responsibilities.

Adults can get vaccines at doctors’ offices, pharmacies, workplaces, community health clinics, health departments, and other locations. To find a vaccine provider near you, go to www.vaccine. healthmap.org. Most health insurance plans cover the cost of recommended vaccines. Check with your insurance provider for details and for a list of vaccine providers. If you do not have health insurance, visit www.healthcare.gov to learn more about health coverage options. Talk with your healthcare professional to make sure you are up to date with the vaccines recommended for you. For more information on vaccines, visit www.cdc.gov/vaccines/adults or use the AdultVaccine Assessment Tool at www2.cdc.gov/nip/adultimmsched/ to find out which vaccines you may need. —Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

August Is Psoriasis Action Month Psoriasis is an immune-mediated disease (a disease with an unclear cause that is characterized by inflammation caused by dysfunction of the immune system) that causes inflammation in the body. There may be visible signs of the inflammation such as raised plaques (plaques may look different for different skin types) and scales on the skin. This occurs because the overactive immune system speeds up skin cell growth. Normal skin cells completely grow and shed (fall off) in a month. With psoriasis, skin cells do this in only three or four days. Instead of shedding, the skin cells pile up on the surface of the skin. Some people report that psoriasis plaques itch, burn and sting. Plaques and scales may appear on any part of the body, although they are commonly found on the elbows, knees,

and scalp. Inflammation caused by psoriasis can impact other organs and tissues in the body. People with psoriasis may also experience other health conditions. One in three people

with psoriasis may also develop psoriatic arthritis. Symptoms often start between ages 15 and 25, but can start at any age. Men, women, and children of all skin colors can get psoriasis. Psoriasis can appear anywhere on the body, even on the eyelids, ears, lips, skin folds, hands, feet, and nails. Plaques can be a few small patches or can affect large areas. It’s possible to have psoriasis plaques and scales in more than one location on the body at a time. There are five types of psoriasis. It’s possible to have more than one type of psoriasis at one time and more than one type in a lifetime. Treatments may vary depending on the type and location of the psoriasis. While scientists do not know what exactly causes psoriasis, we do know that

the immune system and genetics play major roles in its development. One thing we do know: psoriasis is not contagious. You cannot catch psoriasis from another person. Usually, something triggers psoriasis, causing symptoms to appear or worsen. Triggers vary from person to person. As with other chronic diseases, psoriasis may affect areas of your life other than your physical health. Psoriasis may affect your emotional health, your relationships, and how you handle stress.

COVID And Monkeypox

OVID and monkeypox are frequent topics of conversation. Many questions remain regarding what these infections can cause. This column will discuss the current knowledge of these infections on the liver. COVID infections remain common in our area with the number of actual cases being much higher than the reported cases due to the widespread availability of home testing. The dominant strain in the U.S. is BA.5 and this is reported to be the most contagious of all the COVID strains to date. Super-spreading events are up as people seem to be more comfortable attending these events without masking. While infections are up, hospitalizations and severe outcomes from this strain are down, which is good news. Widespread vaccination and boosters, while not eliminating the risk of acquiring COVID, can be credited for lessening the impact of the disease on those infected. When COVID was first described, the data showed the fifty percent of infected individuals developed abnormal liver tests and some developed chronic liver disease with some even requiring liver transplantation. This does not appear to be the case with the newer strains. Whether this is a vaccine effect or that this strain is less liver toxic is unknown. It may simply be that the majority of COVID infected patients

THE SPECIALIST David Bernstein, MD

currently stay at home and do not go for laboratory testing while in the beginning of the pandemic, these patients were seen in the hospitals and labs were obtained. Regardless, this is good news for the liver. When people with liver disease become infected with COVID, they do not have worse outcomes than those without liver disease. A recent report described no increased risk of poor outcomes in people with fatty liver and since this is about thirty percent of the American population, this comes as good news. For people with cirrhosis, COVID is associated with poor outcomes so it is essential that this group be vaccinated, take boosters when available and consider masking when entering indoor public places. Treatments are available for COVID

although most patients can recover without these therapies. Monoclonal antibodies are widely used and have been shown to be safe for liver patients and not to cause abnormal liver tests when given to the general population. Paxlovid, however, due to its ritonavir component, has been described to cause abnormal liver tests and therefore should be given with caution in patients with underlying chronic liver disease. Monkeypox is a virus that is similar to smallpox and is not related to chickenpox.

It is typically spread through close personal and intimate contact and is more commonly spread in men having sex with men. Monkeypox typically causes fever, headaches, muscle aches, a lack of energy and a rash resembling pimples or pus-filled blisters. Monkeypox is rarely fatal and significant liver issues have not been reported to be associated with this infection. There is no specific treatment. A vaccine is available to prevent infection. —David Bernstein, MD, MACG, FAASLD, AGAF, FACP

Northwell Pioneers Lipid Apheresis BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

igh cholesterol is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease including heart attack, stroke and peripheral arterial disease. Though elevated cholesterol (lipids) may be due to dietary indiscretion, it can also be due to genetic predisposition, called Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH). Patients are born with very high levels of cholesterol due to a genetic mutation of the cholesterol receptor in the liver and are less responsive to medications intended to lower lipid levels. This diagnosis can be made through routine cholesterol blood tests and a physical examination. Patients with Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) possess one normal, and one abnormal cholesterol receptor gene and this occurs in 1 out of 250 people. Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) have two defective cholesterol receptor genes and this is seen in 1 out of 300,000 people. HoFH patients can have cholesterol levels above 400mg/dl and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels above 300mg/dl. Patients with FH can develop early coronary artery disease and are at greater risk for heart attacks and strokes and have a shorter life expectancy. Overall, patients with FH are 20 times more likely to develop heart disease. Cholesterol reduction in these patients requires more than diet and exercise modifications to achieve target cholesterol levels. Lipid lowering therapy is required and statin drugs are the preferred treatment. However, 7 to 20 percent of patients maybe statin intolerant. Many of these patients treated with maximally tolerated dosages of statins may not achieve their cholesterol

Guy L. Mintz, MD target and require multiple lipid lowering therapies. Patients who are at very high risk for cardiovascular events with persistent elevated cholesterol despite medical therapy may be candidates for Lipid Apheresis. Lipid Apheresis is a treatment indicated for patients with coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease or elevated Lipoprotein, and elevated cholesterol despite medical therapy. It is reserved for patients with atherosclerosis or at very high cardiovascular risk in whom medical treatments have been ineffective, or those with HoFH who have had a limited response to standard cholesterol lowering therapies. Lipid Apheresis is a lifelong procedure in which venous blood is filtered through an apheresis machine that removes the bad lipids and returns the “clean” blood back to the patient. The duration of the procedure ranges from two to four hours. The process

Apheresis machine significantly reduces total cholesterol components 70 to 80 percent, and lipoprotein 60 to 70 percent. The procedure is performed bi-weekly or weekly based on post procedure lipid levels. North Shore University Hospital is the only center on Long Island and is just the third center in New York to offer this cutting-edge procedure. The first procedure on Long Island was led by Dr. Guy L. Mintz, FACP, FACC, FNLA, and his team at North Shore University Hospital. “Lipid apheresis slows the progression of atherosclerosis, reduces vascular inflammation and in doing so, reduces the patient’s chances of a heart attack,” Mintz said. Mintz is the director of the lipid apheresis at Northwell Health and the Director of Cardiovascular Health & Lipidology at North Shore University Hospital. “The longer patients are exposed to very

high levels of cholesterol, the earlier they develop heart disease,” Mintz said. “This is especially true in patients with Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia.” Mintz emphasized the importance of reducing high cholesterol as early as possible and seeking a treatment that is best suited to reduce a patient’s cardiovascular risk. For some patients that might be as simple as diet and exercise. Other patients may need medical therapy. And for some, lipid apheresis might be the best option. “We have brought new hope to a group of patients whose medications have failed,” Mintz said. “Apheresis is another important tool in our toolbox for treating these high-risk patients; early evaluation and intervention is an opportunity for cardiac prevention.” Mintz can be reached at Northwell Health System (1350 Northern Blvd,, Suite 202, Manhasset) or by phone at 516-482-3401.

Smart Savers Thermostat Program

ith temperatures of 90 degrees and above forecast for the rest of the week and into the weekend, PSEG Long Island will be activating its voluntary Smart Savers Thermostat Program to help create future savings for customers. The company also encourages its customers to be prepared for the extreme heat. PSEG continues to expect to have enough electric capacity to meet customer demand for the high temperatures and high humidity. While there are no capacity concerns, PSEG is planning to activate its voluntary Smart Savers Thermostat program to reduce loading on the system, which helps create future savings for customers. PSEG must purchase power in advance, basing the amount on load forecasts and state-mandated capacity requirements that incorporate peak-usage levels from previous years. By reducing peak usage this year, the company lowers the amount of power that must be purchased in advance for next summer. Approximately 27,500 customers who have elected to participate in this program may experience on- and off-cycling of their central air conditioning systems, or a small increase in temperature, between the hours of 4 and 7 p.m. Activating the program also allows PSEG to maintain an up-to-date assessment of the program’s capability to reduce demand on peak load days.

RECOMMENDATIONS: • Set home thermostats or air conditioner units to 78 degrees. • Run major appliances such as

washing machines, dishwashers and pool pumps, in the morning or late evening to avoid the peak demand hours of 2 to 8 p.m. • Set refrigerators and freezers at most-efficient temperatures. • Do not cool an empty house. Set your thermostat higher when you are away, or use a smart thermostat to control the temperature. • 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.) • Seal holes and cracks around doors and windows with caulk or weather-stripping. • Replace old appliances with new energy efficient ENERGY STAR appliances • Replace air filters monthly. Dirty filters make your air conditioner work harder. High temperatures and high electric demand can sometimes cause scattered, heat-related outages. PSEG will have additional personnel available to address outages safely and as quickly as possible.

China Cove in Point Lobos State Park was amazing to see. Napa Valley. I was stunned by the beauty of Napa Valley. I could see why it was famous. In Napa Valley, we saw one of the three Old Faithful Geysers and we went to Trefethen Family Vineyards. My friend and I split a wine tasting. Being in Napa Valley, in some ways, reminded me of being out east on Long Island. The next morning, we headed to San Jose. We had the evening to ourselves, so we went to Japantown in San Jose to get dinner and dessert and to check out a karaoke bar, where I sang two songs. We had so much fun.

AUGUST 28

The next day, we got another rental car and headed to Carmel-By-The-Sea. First, we visited Point Lobos State Park, which has several scenic coves. We tried to find otters and sea lions, but we could only hear them. Nearby, we saw some of the fairytale cottages Carmel is known for. We finished the day by taking the scenic route towards San Jose, stopping at a Vista Point to look at the clouds that covered the mountains like smoke. This is part five of a series on traveling the country via Amtrak.

It was instead the experience of listening to her mom’s copy of Harry Belafonte’s Live at Carnegie Hall that cast the die for the future rock singer that continues to be her creative North Star. “Live at Carnegie Hall is just a classic record with some amazing performances on there,” she recalled. “He did this version of the old Irish song ‘Danny Boy’ on there. He just has the audience right in the palm of his hand with all this delicacy and tenderness before he goes up to this one high note and nails it. I was just a little kid listening to that and I felt the thrill of that high note so deeply that in that moment, I knew I had to do that somehow. I didn’t know how, but I had to get up there and feel that. It had very little to do with an audience. It had more to do with being a hollow reed and taking orders from the Force.”

You’ll become acquainted with your own preferences. To learn your displeasure is useful in steering toward your joy. Roads are built by ruling out everything that’s not the road.

Land of plenty

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s not easy being so handy to others, but it’s fulfilling. Expectations emerge as you go about your week. There will be people to please, troubles to avoid, conventions to obey and an endless stream of actions to take. Each night, you’ll hit the pillow knowing you did your best and became a little sharper for the effort.

Solution: 20 Letters

CANCER (June 22-July 22). When they are having fun, so are you. Shared enjoyment multiplies. On the flip side, there are those who put a damper on experiences you would usually enjoy. You can’t control the opinions and behaviors of others, but if it’s your party, you can control the guest list. Now, just think of your life as your party.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A rhythm that’s settled into your days has a way of obligating you to it. You may not even realize how deep a groove this has become. This week is your moment to question the obligation. Is it aligned with your greater goals? If so, celebrate. If not, seize your lucky stars; here comes the opportunity to change it up. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The trouble with an experience has nothing to do with the experience itself. The problem has to do with something keeping you from giving undivided attention to the moment. What’s stopping you for giving your thoughts and efforts to the task at hand? It’s likely you can make your life simpler to make it better. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s nice to know you have options, but the power comes from actually exercising them. Try new things. Don’t be afraid of the work, and don’t back down from inconvenience. Change is often quite inconvenient indeed, but it will be worth it. What’s needed now isn’t the feeling of freedom; it’s the actual freedom. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You wouldn’t necessarily call this week’s job fun, but it’s a lot more fun than what will happen if it goes undone. So, you’ll dig in and handle it like a boss. This week, someone powerful will recognize your work -- and more notably, the stellar attitude with which you approach it -- with keen interest. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). In a sea of people, certain individuals stand out to you. It’s as though neon-lit arrows are pointing you in their direction. Break the ice, and you’ll find out your lives have followed a parallel path. There are many connections to explore, and you can take your time. Quality relationships will come together slowly. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s hard to say who benefits you more -- your supporters or your opposition. Those who are on your side give you the power of numbers and validation. Those who are against you give you the means for strength, sharpness and clarity. You’ll learn just what you need to overcome to succeed. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll want to give others the plan, make it easy for them, spell out the details and communicate literally and clearly. Your impulse isn’t wrong, but does it leave room for imagination? If you preconceive the limitations of others, they will become your own. Magical collaborations will take place in spaces of trust.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You’ll be loved for who you naturally are, no embellishments or accomplishments necessary, and yet you still feel driven to bring new potentials to life. It’s as though an internal timer has been activated to sprout seeds of your soul. Many will get to enjoy this version of yourself as you’ll mingle in a wide array of social circles including the familiar and the foreign, small groups and big crowds, too. Additions to your family will bring joy and a change in your daily priorities and rhythms.

For example, if you win the club, draw trump and lead a heart toward dummy, West follows low, and

sooner or later you lose a spade and a club. The best approach, after winning the club lead with the king, is to play a heart immediately. If West takes the ace, you have 12 tricks, so let’s assume he lets you win with dummy’s queen. Now you cash the A-Q of trump, leaving one trump at large, then play the ace and another club toward your queen, hoping to find the suit divided 3-3. East produces the jack on the ace, then goes into deep thought trying to decide whether or not to ruff the five. Actually, it doesn’t matter what he does. Let’s suppose he trumps the club. In that case, you play low from your hand, retaining the queen of clubs. With all the adverse trumps now out of circulation, you can later discard a spade from dummy on the club queen and make the slam by ruffing a spade in dummy. If East does not ruff the third round of clubs, you are on equally firm ground. After winning with the queen, you ruff the seven of clubs with the jack of trump to produce your 12th trick.

NEIGHBORS IN THE NEWS Farmingdale Fixture Passes Mary Lou Arangio, born July 11, 1941 in Brooklyn, passed away after a hardfought battle with acute myeloid leukemia, surrounded by her loving husband and daughters on July 8. Beloved wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend—to know her, was to love her. She touched so many lives for the better. She was a true force of nature and the rock of her family. She was giving, loving, strong, funny and dynamic. She brought enthusiasm and excitement to every setting and found joy in the simplest of things. She loved politics, volunteering for John F. Kennedy’s presidential campaign before she could even vote. She loved her country and was a true patriot—so proud of the veterans in her family. She was a faithful Catholic and also a champion for women’s empowerment. She instilled in her daughters the grit and confidence to succeed in their careers. She inspired so many others to be their best and set their sights high. A woman of very humble beginnings, she landed a job in the recording industry (where she met her husband) working for music mogul Don Kirshner and rubbing elbows with top celebrities of the 1960s. She later served as an executive assistant and office manager in the Farmingdale

Public Schools for 32 years (most of that time at Albany Avenue Elementary School). Mary Lou was a dedicated parent volunteer, popular Brownie troop leader and softball coach. She was a longtime community activist and advocated for education and lobbied for additional education funding. She worked to secure development of the Airport Plaza Center, which brought significant tax revenue to Farmingdale. She was president of the local PTA, a PTA regional representative and also president of the CSEA union for 20 years, representing 190 members. She worked tirelessly to improve their benefits, salary and quality of life. In recognition of her many achievements, she was chosen as a New York State Senate 2008 Woman of Distinction. Her true legacy was her family. She often said the happiest day of her life was the day she married Tom, her beloved husband of nearly 58 years. They were inseparable and he kept her laughing throughout her life. She was an ever-present and selfless mother to her two daughters and the most involved, adoring grandmother to her five precious grandchildren. She was their greatest cheerleader and best friend. Mary Lou found pleasure in the simplest of things. She was an avid reader, enjoyed

gardening and watching her favorite cable news shows. She was beyond thoughtful and will always be remembered for the cards she regularly sent out with her own heartfelt messages to family and friends on birthdays and anniversaries, or just to say thank you. She never forgot a loved one. She enjoyed traveling to Europe, visits to her Florida home and truly relished and loved her beautiful life on Long Island. She is survived by her husband, Thomas, her daughters, Jennifer (Chase) and Christina (Chad), her beloved grandchildren, Amanda, Samantha, Megan, Tommy and Luke and her siblings, Joan, Diane and John. She is predeceased by her parents Philomena “Fannie” (nee Petrungaro) and Stephen Bevacqua. The wake for Mary Lou was held on Monday, July 18 at McCourt & Trudden Funeral Home at 385 Main St. in Farmingdale. A funeral Mass was held on Tuesday, July 19, at Maria Regina Catholic Church located at 3945 Jerusalem Ave. in Seaford. A committal service was immediately held after at St. Charles/Resurrection Cemeteries located at 2015 Wellwood Ave. in Farmingdale. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to two causes very close to her heart: Tunnels to Towers,

residence, where he was placed into police custody without incident. The children were released into the custody of a relative. Giblin is charged with three counts of aggravated driving while intoxicated, three counts of endangering the welfare of a child, three counts of second-degree reckless endangerment, three counts of driving while intoxicated and multiple vehicle and traffic law infractions. He was arraigned on Saturday, July 16, at First District Court at 99 Main St. in Hempstead. .........................

description of the two subjects are available at this time. The investigation is ongoing. Detectives request anyone with information regarding the above incident to contact the Seventh Squad at 516-573-6753 or Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-8477. All callers will remain anonymous. .........................

IMAGINATION ON DISPLAY AT LEVITTOWN AND SCOPE SUMMER ENRICHMENT Students are furthering their understanding of integral educational concepts while relying on imagination and innovation at the Levittown Public Schools and SCOPE Education Services Summer Enrichment program, hosted at Abbey Lane Elementary School and Wisdom Lane Middle School. A range of enrichment classes feature many hands-on activities that help take some familiar activities to the next level. For example, STEAM activities are linked to classic stories, while others feature the challenge of using Legos to engineer and design vehicles like boats to operational apparatuses

such as a zipline. These classes are perfect for the summer as students use their academics to navigate challenging topics centered around fun and creativity. High school students can also participate in classes that focus on SAT and ACT Prep and college preparedness. This program is subsidized by Levittown Public Schools through the American Rescue Plan. —Submitted by Levittown Public Schools In the cooking class, students created a delicious masterpiece with an artistic spin every day.

The Extreme STEAM (Math Edition) class prompted students to be hands-on and craft different useful objects, such as pencil and supply holders.

Students worked together in groups to make a range of useful apparatuses with Lego.
