The Prince Of Positivity How Lenny Kravitz continues to let love rule

By Dave Gil de Rubio dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

f music is food for the soul, then Lenny Kravitz should be considered a master chef. Not unlike his idol Prince Rogers Nelson (who Kravitz gives special gratitude to in the liner notes of the latter’s eleventh studio album, last year’s Raise Vibration), the New York City native is a one-man band. Along with the usual guitar, bass, drums and piano, the 55-year-old musician added bongos, glockenspiel, Fender Rhodes, kalimba and Coral sitar to the recipe that makes up the dozen songs on his latest outing. Recorded at his home studio in Eleuthera, Bahamas, Raise Vibration was conceived through a series of dreams. Call it a stream-of-unconsciousness. “What was magical about this experience was that it was all given to me in dreams. This was the first time that an entire record was dreamt, as opposed to me just living, being awake and all of a sudden hearing something in my head. These all came from being asleep and waking up between the hours of 3 and 5 a.m. and having these songs in my head. It was a very interesting and freeing experience. You take your mind, ego, and whatever preconceived ideas you have—all of that comes out. You’re receiving what it is that is yours and I love that,” Kravitz explained. “Once the floodgates open, it just goes and you have to keep up with it. You also have to wake up because sometimes you’re asleep and comfortable. The pillow feels good and the covers are just right and you think that you’ll go back to bed and remember it. Eight times out of 10, you don’t remember it. So you have to get up and at the very least, record the basics with your phone or whatever you’ve got there. Grab a guitar that’s by the bed and hum into the recorder. Or, in some cases, I just get up and go down to the studio in three minutes, which is down a little path here where I live in the Bahamas,” he added. For these 12 songs, Kravitz worked with longtime friend and collaborator Craig Ross, bringing in extra musicians later on in the recording process. As someone who has been known for embracing notions of brotherhood and unity dating back to his 1989 debut Let Love Rule, Kravitz has continued down this path in what

LENNY KRAVITZ from page 3A comes off as a musical clap-back to the societal divisions that are a constant nowadays. With couplets like “We’re not here to judge/We are here to love/There’s no room for hate/ We are just human race,” the piano ballad “Here to Love” delivers the message while somehow avoiding any kind of mawkish sentiment. Equally effective is “It’s Enough,” a hypnotic seven-minute workout that channels Curtis Mayfield through a veil of chugging bass lines, ethereal Minimoog, percussion and scatting while addressing racism, police brutality and environmental destruction. From here, Kravitz juices up the funk on “The Majesty of Love,” a swirling dervish of punchy horns, snappy Clavinet and space-age synth swooshes that defies the listener to not bob their head. Arguably the most heartfelt number is “Johnny Cash,” a song inspired by the memory of losing his mother Roxie Roker back in 1995 when Kravitz was staying at producer Rick Rubin’s house at the same time Johnny and June Carter Cash were there working on a record. On the way back from visiting his mom in the hospital, Kravitz was informed that she died

as he was in transit. When both Cashes saw him and were informed of her passing, they held Kravitz and consoled him, becoming in Kravitz’s words, “...family for that moment.”

Not surprisingly, the song is one of his favorites on the current album. “Oh man, I thank God that I was given that song. I’ve got to tell you when I was writing it, I had no idea what was happening. Again, it was one of those dreams. I heard the whole song—the melody, chords and everything—but the only lyric I had when I woke up was, ‘Hold me like Johnny Cash’ and I had no idea what that meant,” he said. “Because I was not thinking of that moment I had with him when my mom died. Then, as the lyrics began to come, I realized what I was writing about and it was quite profound to me. I love that song.” Since Raise Vibration came out last year, Kravitz has been tirelessly touring, hitting Europe twice and swinging through Asia, Australia and South America, with plans to return through those areas of the world along with the United States. As someone who was inspired to perform after seeing the Jackson 5 at Madison Square Garden when he was 6 years old (“I was in first grade and I had been listening to their records and loved their music. I saw the concert and that was it.”), Kravitz considers the live music experience as being a sacred communion between artist and audience. While it would be easy to dismiss this sentiment as being some kind of Earthy crunch bromide, there is no mistaking Kravitz’s sincerity regarding this experience being both a musical and spiritual connection. It’s particularly evident when he’s asked about what

attendees can expect when they come out to see him play. “What can [fans] expect? I’m always weird about that question. What they can expect is a connection through the music. It’s about the music—this music belongs to the people in the audience as much as it belongs to me because this music is the soundtrack of their lives, right? I don’t say this with any ego at all. I say that with actual gratitude and humility because when people come up and tell you that this song got them through this. Or that song was what helped them through various trials and tribulations. Or how they got married after they met this man or woman and this song was part of our experience,” he said. “All of that is really humbling to me. People come to the show, the gathering or whatever you want to call it to hear this music and go back through their lives and relive those feelings. And that’s beautiful. What I want to make sure happens every night for me and the audience is a connection that is about unity, love, inclusion and all these things that are so important, especially now. When I leave the stage and feel that we are all riding the same wave for two hours and 15 minutes or whatever it is—we were all riding this wave together. And we’re feeling each other. That’s what I want and I believe the audience can expect.” Visit www.longislandweekly. com to read about Lenny Kravitz’s favorite vocalists.

Series Of Sisterhood

Ryan Michelle Bathe talks First Wives Club BET series By CHRiSTiNa ClauS cclauS@antonmediagroup.com

“Don’t get mad, get everything.” And they did. But along the way the women of the 1996 film First Wives Club found more than justice after their husbands left them for younger women. Elise (Goldie Hawn), Brenda (Bette Midler) and Annie (Diane Keaton) found sisterhood, friendship and love for themselves. The hugely successful film grossed $105 million, and in 2015, Hawn spoke out about how the three actresses had been in talks for a sequel, but the studio offered the stars the same deal they had for the first film and would not increase their salaries. “It was a success, a hit, by all metrics and standards. If there were three men who had made half that money, they would have made 17 movies by now,” said Ryan Michelle Bathe, who will be reviving the film, which also stars Michelle Buteau and Jill Scott, in the form of a television show on BET+, BET’s new streaming platform. Hawn expressed almost the exact same sentiment in a Time Magazine interview four years ago, before BET decided to pay homage to the cult classic with a series in 2018. “It was a beautiful project, First

attorney with impeccable style. “I realized it was gonna work when I sat down, we hashed everything out and realized it could be something really extraordinary to work with. Just all of these women of color in the room who were writing, all of these women, everyone in the room, they were all women. We were able to prove if you just give people a shot, amazing things can happen.” Bathe described the show as a nod to the film, like if both the film and the show were passing one another on the street, they would say, “I see you, girl.” Bathe’s character, Ari, who she said is most similar to Keaton’s in the original, was on track to make partner, but sidestepped her career to advance her husband’s political ambitions and raise their two kids. “I hope everyone has a friend in their life like Ari. Everyone either is the Ari of the group or has an Ari in the group. There’s gotta be that person who’s like OK, we’re gonna go do this thing that may or may not be illegal, but we’re sure as hell going to cover our tracks, is everybody ready? Everybody needs that and the friend who is going to bail you out of jail. Not that I ever needed anybody to bail me out of jail yet, knock on wood, I think I’m more the bailer out of jailer person,” she joked. Similar to the film, a crisis reunited her with her college best friends and she is able to translate her courtroom skills to help the women reclaim their independence and rekindle their friendship, which Bathe believes is the most important aspect of the series. “I hear a lot of women say, ‘I don’t have female friends,’ and I’m like girl, you are missing out on one of the greatest joys of life and the biggest support,” Bathe said, explaining that she and her costars created their own friendship off-screen full of trust, vulnerability and laughs, to which she told an anecdote from set that she equated to a scene from Sex In The City, another female-driven success that focuses on sisterhood. “Some say women are

drama, but yeah, so is life. You can try to avoid drama all you want, but drama’s going to find you and it’s not even drama, it’s just challenge, it’s just life. A life well lived is going to have its ups and downs and challenges, and you need those friendships, those people you can count on no matter what. I think that’s what people are going to be drawn to and I think that’s what Ari and I share, that ride or die for your girl.” Bathe, who has also starred in This Is Us and Army Wives with husband

REMEMBERING 9-11

Day Of Infamy: Anton Answers The Call BY JOE SCOTCHIE

jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

t happened 18 years ago and shockingly enough, memories of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, will someday be as distant and forgotten to Americans as Pearl Harbor or the sinking of the RMS Lusitania are today. In journalism, as the sportswriter Jerome Holtzman maintained, there is no cheering in the press box. And so here at Anton, there was no time for shock on that Tuesday morning. That day is when the “big four” papers—Manhasset Press, Great Neck Record, Port Washington News and Roslyn News—are put to bed. Page ones and sports pages, plus the calendar, are expected to be completed early on. Weekly papers generally don’t work on deadlines. That day was different. As your servant was leaving his northern Queens residence, the television showed the World Trade Center lit up by what broadcasters speculated was an airplane accident, a plane probably coming from Teterboro Airport. I recalled an accident that took place during World War II, when a military cargo plane, on a dark, foggy, rainy day, crashed into the Empire State Building. This was the same thing. Except it wasn’t. The second plane zeroed in on the second tower, igniting a huge, terrible explosion. Who can forget it? The British novelist Martin Amis, a resident of Brooklyn, captured the meaning of the second plane. “That was the defining moment,” he said. Until then, America thought she was witnessing nothing more serious than the worst aviation disaster in history; now she had a sense of the fantastic vehemence ranged against her. That second plane looked eagerly alive and galvanized with malice, and wholly alien. For those thousands in the South Tower, the second plane meant the end of everything. For us, its glint was the worldflash of a coming future.” Off to work. Anton was blessed with

great leadership, namely in the person of Cary Seaman, the managing editor. We had deadlines. Tear up the paper and start again? Seaman was on the phone early on and quickly so. In no time, she gathered quotes from people who mattered: The county executive, the supervisor of the Town of North Hempstead, state legislators, mayors and the Bishop of Rockville Centre. That was Tuesday. The days and weeks ahead were filled with vigils, memorial services and funerals. Everyone has a story to tell. A few days later, your servant received a call. At the time, I was editor of The Roslyn News. On the other end was a longtime Roslyn resident, a senior citizen calmly—and I emphasize that word—telling me that her two sons, one a fireman, the other a policeman, were confirmed among the dead from lower Manhattan. In East Hills, another senior citizen, a man who had escaped the Holocaust, now lived to see a granddaughter perish in one of the towers. Editors of publications in the Anton orbit dutifully counted the dead from their villages, attending the same services and trying to give the departed the honor they deserved. The memorial service for Thomas and Peter Langone took place over a year later. Giving a talk was the governor of Oklahoma, Frank Keating. In 1995, Tommy Langone, who like his brother was also a volunteer fireman for Roslyn Rescue, traveled to Oklahoma City to assist in the restoration work of that city’s own terrorist attack. That memorial was the most moving day in the village’s history. Another memory? Like a good Catholic, one must confess: I misspelled the last name of one of the victims. It’s all true. The widow wrote a letter. The widow also called my desk. In both instances, a severe tongue lashing came my way. Sit there and take it, boy. Which I did. Hopefully, it was cathartic for the wife of the deceased to deliver a verbal whipping to the thoroughly guilty party.

he headline read: “Student activists prevail.” It was a story by Joie Tyrell published earlier this year that told the tale of a group of high school students who were researching the international issue of access to feminine hygiene products. In their research, the teenage girls found that New York State legislation called for the provision of feminine hygiene products in the restrooms of all school buildings at no charge to students. Yet the Lindenhurst High School girls found that in their school such products were only available in the nurse’s office. The girls addressed the issue with a school administrator and district officials. The authorities responded to the girls’ advocacy and the situation was remedied. Some years ago, I worked in a high school where I encountered a situation that

PARENTHOOD PLUS Andrew Malekoff also involved a high school bathroom. In this case the problem was the fact that there were no doors on the stalls in the boy’s bathroom. One of them said, “Do you think they have any idea how humiliating it is to go to the bathroom with no doors on the stalls? There’s no privacy; it’s embarrassing.”

The group decided to present their concern to school authorities. Soon after they requested a meeting with the principal, and sometime after that their “demand” was met. What these two stories have in common is young people identifying problems, having a vision, organizing and taking steps to ensure they receive the respect and dignity that they deserve. Young people have power and can make a difference. Roger A. Hart, a professor of environmental psychology, has devoted much of his life’s research to children’s development in relationship to the physical environment. To that end he created a “ladder of participation” that differentiates the degrees to which young people might initiate change. Following is an elaboration of the ladder of participation by Adam Fletcher, an

KKEOEPHINLG’SKIDCS HAEARLTEHSY Our 5-2-1-0 campaign is easy to remember and lets you work on one set of healthy habits at a time.

internationally recognized expert on youth and community engagement. Fletcher starts with the top rung of the ladder. • Projects or programs are initiated by young people and decision-making is shared between young people and adults. • Young people initiate and direct a project or program. Adults are involved in a supportive role. • Projects or programs are initiated by adults but the decision-making is shared with the young people. • Young people give advice on projects or programs designed and run by adults. • Young people are assigned a specific role and informed about how/why they are involved. • Young people appear to be given a voice, but in fact have little or no choice about what they do or how they

participate. •Y oung people are used to help or “bolster” a cause in a relatively indirect way. • Adults use young people to support causes. Understanding the ladder of participation can help those of us who care about kids to know when to lead, follow or get out of the way. Making decisions that support young people becoming active participants in community affairs is a win-win, particularly when it supports them in making a difference in areas where we have failed. Andrew Malekoff is the executive director of North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center, which provides comprehensive mental health services for children from birth through 24 and their families. To find out more, visit www.northshorechild guidance.org.

Every day we make lots of choices and decisions that can impact our health. Some decisions involve what we eat, where we eat, what we drink, how we get to school or work and how we spend our free time. With overweight and obesity affecting so many of our youth today, parents and caregivers need tools to help establish good habits that can have a lasting impact on their family’s health.

As she arrived at work to news that hijackers had crashed a pair of planes into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, she knew immediately her world had changed forever. “I remember when I saw the first plane hit I thought ‘this doesn’t look like an accident’,” Kiernan said while fighting through tears 18 years after the fact. “Then, when I saw the second plane hit, I got a knot in my stomach. America’s under attack.” More than a decade and a half after the fateful day when the towers fell, the Staten Island native became concerned with what she saw as a failure to educate the children raised in the wake of 9/11 about the importance of that day in American history. She quizzed her nieces and nephews,

looking to see what information their teachers had passed on and found it sorely lacking. Soon after that, she decided to take matters into her own hands, and began work on the Discovering Heroes series of children’s books about the events surrounding September 11th. This year saw the publication of the final two books in the three-part series Kiernan geared towards helping to educate an audience without strong

memories of 9/11. “We said we’d never forget, but that takes action on our part,” Kiernan said. “What I hope to do with these books is put power in the hands of every adult to make sure that day is not forgotten.” Besides imparting a stronger knowledge of recent history, Kiernan wanted the books to stand as testaments to the legendary feats of courage, love and heroism that first responders and ordinary Americans displayed in the immediate aftermath of the September 11th attacks. “The worst day of many peoples’ lives ensued, but at the same time many people were able to be their best,” Kiernan said. “That’s a very important message for kids today, especially in a world as divisive as the one we’re living in right now, to see that our American spirit and grit shines through, even in our darkest times.” For Kiernan, the stakes here are personal. Her father John was a longtime city firefighter with Rescue Company 1. On that day 18 years ago, he was the first person she called. Like thousands of other firefighters, police, paramedics and good Samaritans, he sprang into action right away.

“When the second plane hit, I said ‘Dad, I need you to turn on the TV’,” she said. “And when he did, he said, ‘I have to go,’ and I knew what that meant.” John Kiernan’s experiences serve as a through-line for the series. Functionally, the books frame the story of 9/11 through fictional conversations his grandchildren have with him, a decision his daughter made deliberately to sharpen the focus of the books. Topics like the loss of life, the yearslong cleanup efforts and the persistent health issues of first responders are all filtered through the lens of simple trips and talks with their grandparents. “I thought it was important for the kids to really drive the discussion,” Kiernan said. “The stories only unfold because they ask questions. They have no knowledge of that day, so the questions that I or any adult has would be very different from the questions they would have.” Along with the dialogue and the recountings, the most poignant moments in the books are accompanied by illustrations. Artists Gabe and Haruka Ostley painted their work in watercolors in a conscious effort to make scenes, like first responders digging through rubble and memorial services softer to youth. So far, reaction to the book series has been strong. For her part, Kiernan said she’s just glad she was able to pass along the lessons the nation learned on 9/11 to the next generation. “We had a wonderful team pulling this together,” Kiernan said. “I just can’t believe how overwhelmingly positive the response has been. It’s really a blessing, and I feel so fortunate to be in a position where I could be helping people.”

Houseplants With A Modern Twist Fiddle Leaf Fig

BY KAREN MUSGRAVE

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

One of the most popular plants in urban design, the fiddle leaf fig has beautiful wide shiny leaves with lots of texture. You often see them used in an empty corner or near a window to add instant height and color. This plant cleans the air of many different indoor pollutants.

or many years, houseplants in the home consisted of a ficus tree in the corner and an African violet on the windowsill. Thankfully, times have changed. People are now embracing the aesthetic advantages of using multiple plants throughout the home and the many health benefits they offer. Houseplants can transform a space from dull and stale to light, bright and modern. Shades of green and an assortment of textures make plants a strong design asset that should not be ignored. Additionally, many houseplants have the ability to clean the air we breathe and add oxygen back into your home. Create a modern arrangement of plants in a beautiful and functional manner by incorporating one or more of the plants below into your home.

Snake Plant

The upright sword shaped leaves and low-maintenance needs of the snake plant make this houseplant a popular option for homes and offices.

Succulents

They prefer a tight, narrow pot and look best in an entryway, underneath a windowsill or anywhere else you may need a modern accent. Snake plants clean the air by producing unusually high amounts of oxygen during the day.

ZZ Plant

The glossy green leaves of this plant create an upright palm-like effect. ZZ plants remove toxins from the air that are commonly found in varnishes, paint, nail polish, rubber

If you are looking for architecturally interesting plants to add to a coffee table, dining room or office, consider succulents. There are many interesting options to choose from. Consider using different types of glass vessels to add a designer feel or purchase a wall planter to take your design vertical. The design possibilities are endless with succulents.

and leather. They are the perfect plant for your office desk, bathroom or kitchen counter.

Swiss Cheese Plant

This plant gets its name from its large heart shaped leaves that contains holes that look just like Swiss cheese. Use one or more in your sun room, living room or anywhere else you’d like a larger plant with tons of texture. It helps to clean the air of many toxins including those found in flooring and cabinets.

Update your space to feel more urban and modern with the addition of architecturally interesting houseplants. They will not only look beautiful but will also clean the air you breathe. Karen Musgrave, CNLP, is a marketing and education specialist at Hicks Nurseries.

Trending: Golds And Gemstones BY JENNIFER FAUCI

jfauci@antonmediagroup.com

ewelry designs change more slowly than fashion design, but that doesn’t mean that certain styles aren’t having a moment. Esther Fortunoff of Fortunoff Fine Jewelry shared what’s on trend for the upcoming fall and winter season and the role jewelry has in creating a personal look.

Gold

The fashion of the 1980s is still very much in full swing and the same goes for jewelry as well. “The ’80s were the heyday of yellow gold and that’s what it’s about now, both chunky and thin,” said Fortunoff. “People love big chunky gold statement necklaces, large links and chains and big hoop earrings, but also like the opposite of delicate, thin necklaces and smaller studs.”

Clusters

“People like when there’s a group or cluster of diamonds together,” said Fortunoff. “Clusters are back in style but they were popular 25 years ago, so now it’s a nuance that’s different.” Some of the cluster pieces available include basic groupings of stones and more that are off-beat and “a little new and kind of wacky,” notes Fortunoff of the designs that feature stones off-centered, jagged and unique looking.

Vintage

Vintage jewelry is also a moment. According to Fortunoff, vintage pieces are popular in bridal jewelry, engagement rings and wedding bands. “This style was a favorite in the 1920s, but changed after the depression and World War II,” she said. “After those events, jewelers weren’t making delicate platinum and diamond things anymore, but more chunky and yellow gold pieces with a different kind of styling.”

Gemstones

In the 1940s and ’60s there was a widespread use of gemstones, which many people love for the colorful rainbow of stones available and because birthstone jewelry was popular. “I see a movement towards a rainbow of sapphires, since they come in every color of the rainbow. The most popular is blue sapphires then yellow and pink,” said Fortunoff of gemstones. “There’s a lot of beautiful shades of citrine as well, which pairs nicely with yellow gold and morganite, which has been around for a long time and looks lovely with rose gold.”

Rose Gold

Long before it was popular in the 1920s, rose gold was popular around the world. According to Fortunoff, Eastern Europeans adored rose gold and utilized it very much in their jewelry design, and it was the Italian designers who brought it back about two decades ago. “Plain gold or tri-color gold items were popular in the ’80s, but rose gold became the primary metal for an engagement ring or wedding band back then,” said Fortunoff. “In 2005, rose gold came back in style again, but wasn’t really popularized until a few years ago.”

Fortunoff Fine Jewelry is making some updates to their line to include gold necklaces that can be shortened into a choker or longer into a layered necklace that can be worn long or doubled. “I love that we are bringing in pieces from the decorative arts. For example, we have a cuff that is handmade with enamel by and an intricate gold leaf design,” said Fortunoff on drawing inspirations and designs from the 18th century. “Different designs are often taken from architecture, churches or paintings and used on these cuffs.” As for the role of jewelry in adding to an individual’s style, Fortunoff believes that you don’t have to have a bunch of pieces at your disposal. “Find something that complements your eyes, or hair or skin tone that can go with a lot of items in your closet,” said Fortunoff. “And remember, a family heirloom can become your talisman.” Shop these looks in store at 1500 Old Country Rd., Westbury, or online at www.fortunoff jewelry.com.

5 Reasons Memorial Sloan Kettering Excels at Treating Gynecologic Cancers In its 2019–2020 listing of the nation’s best hospitals, U.S. News & World Report ranks Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) as number one for gynecologic cancer care. This recognition of excellence reflects the dedication and expertise MSK doctors and nurses bring to women with cervical cancer, uterine (endometrial) cancer, and ovarian cancer, including pioneering many advances that today are the standard of care. With three convenient locations on Long Island, it’s important to know why MSK stands out at improving outcomes and preserving quality of life for people with gynecologic cancers.

Dr. Nadeem Abu-Rustum, Chief of the Gynecology Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering. 1. Highly-Skilled Surgeons and Oncologists Who Specialize Exclusively in Gynecologic Cancers MSK has a team of about 50 highly specialized doctors dedicated solely to the treatment of gynecologic cancers. This includes surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists and pathologists who collaborate closely. “We meet every week to consult on the details of every complex diagnosis and to decide on the best treatment,” says Nadeem Abu-Rustum, MD, Chief of the Gynecology Service. Doctors at MSK perform among the largest number of gynecologic cancer procedures in the world, making us the best at treating even the most difficult cases. For example, MSK’s ovarian cancer surgery team is the first in the nation that’s dedicated to managing advanced ovarian cancer. This group specializes in removing advanced disease that has spread beyond the ovaries. The team is especially skilled in radical debulking surgery. In this procedure, doctors remove as much tumor tissue as possible to boost the effectiveness of chemotherapy in reaching and destroying ovarian cancer. “Ninety percent of women with advanced ovarian cancer at MSK are optimally debulked. This means that the amount of tumor remaining after the procedure is very small — less than 1 centimeter in diameter,” Dr. Abu-Rustum explains. “More important, 70% have all visible tumor removed. Studies at MSK and around the world show that removing this volume of cancer tissue has led to improved survival for patients.” 2. Methods for Speeding Recovery and Preserving Quality of Life MSK pioneered a way to reduce the number of lymph nodes removed during surgery for early-stage cervical and endometrial cancers. Rather than taking out a large number of lymph nodes to make sure that the cancer has not spread, doctors use a technique called sentinel lymph node mapping. The approach removes fewer nodes and greatly reduces the risk of leg lymphedema. This common, often debilitating side effect involves swelling and skin changes. Sentinel lymph node mapping “has been rigorously studied. It has been shown that there is no difference in survival between the historical surgical approach and sentinel node mapping,” Dr. Abu-Rustum says. “It is a huge benefit if more women can be spared unnecessary lymph node removal and the resulting side effects.”

In addition, MSK surgeons often use minimally invasive methods, such as laparoscopic and robotic surgery. These involve keyhole-size incisions and have the potential for less pain and blood loss, a shorter hospital stay and a faster recovery. Surgeons now do many procedures at the Josie Robertson Surgery Center, a state-of-the-art facility for short-stay cancer surgery. Patients return home to complete their recovery as soon as possible — either the same day or the next. 3. Access to a Range of Clinical Trials and New Treatments Clinical trials can offer people with gynecologic cancers access to treatments that are not widely available elsewhere. Currently, MSK is conducting 35 clinical trials for women with gynecologic cancers, testing new drugs and drug combinations, surgical approaches, and strategies for preserving quality of life during and after treatment. One especially active field is immunotherapy. MSK scientists and doctors played a leading role in developing immunotherapies that have transformed the treatment of melanoma, lung cancer, and other cancers. Now this therapeutic approach is giving new hope to people with gynecologic cancers. In addition, MSK researchers are investigating whether many ovarian cancers start developing in the fallopian tubes and whether removal of those tubes could prevent the disease. Other researchers are looking for ways to understand and treat lymphedema. MSK is the only cancer center with a dedicated lymphedema laboratory focused on understanding and treating this debilitating condition. 4. Genetic Testing to Guide Treatment and Assess Risk Many of MSK’s recent gynecology patients have benefited from a powerful diagnostic test called MSK-IMPACT™. This test provides essential genetic information about a tumor that doctors can use when making a diagnosis and considering treatment options. In some cases, the test results may identify women who are candidates for a clinical trial. With MSK-IMPACT, MSK doctors can offer the best treatment for each person. The Clinical Genetics Service guides people who may be at a higher risk for a gynecologic cancer due to inherited genetic mutations, such as the BRCA mutations. This includes risk assessment, genetic counseling, and genetic testing. 5. Programs to Preserve Fertility and Sexual Health MSK’s Survivorship Center offers an array of services to help preserve fertility and sexual health in women undergoing treatments for gynecologic cancers. And MSK surgeons have pioneered ways to remove cervical tumors while retaining the uterus, so women preserve the option to have children later. The surgical team has done more than 200 such operations, called radical trachelectomy, and many of these women later had children. “The success rate with this approach is very high. MSK is now a referral center for young women with uterine cancer who want to maintain their fertility,” Dr. Abu-Rustum says.

Dr. Jennifer Mueller is a surgeon who cares for women with gynecologic cancer at MSK Commack and MSK Nassau.

Yoga And Meditation: Healing At The Genetic Level BY BETTY LYNN TIMS specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

ational Yoga Month is an awareness campaign held during the month of September to educate about the health benefits of yoga and to inspire a healthy lifestyle. And there are many benefits. While decreasing stress, strengthening flexibility and muscle and achieving a deeper spirituality are the obvious benefits, yoga also helps to lower blood pressure, enhance brain function, increase mental function and assist in weight loss. You’ve probably heard that yoga increases flexibility, decreases stress and promotes well-being. This is all wonderful and those of us who tried yoga to promote

well-being don’t really have to be told twice. We know what we’ve discovered is tried and true, according to ancient wisdom, and we are not going to be talked out of our practice. However, did you know those waves of relaxation you experience during yoga and meditation are actually healing you at the genetic level? Have you ever wondered why some people look 40 years old when they are 60 years old and some look 80 years old when they are only 60 years old? The answer is telomere length—and many things affect it. Recent research with telomeres (the end caps of DNA, which tend to fray and

shorten as you age) by genetic researcher Elizabeth Blackburn, PhD (2009 Nobel Prize winner) and health psychologist Elissa Epel, PhD, prove that certain lifestyle habits such as yoga and meditation—or other mindful movement meditations, such as Tai Chi or Qi Gong—can actually lengthen the telomeres or repair them. This is done through the enzyme telomerase. This actually slows the aging process. Now this explains what I call the “yoga glow.” That radiant look both longtime yogis and newbies alike have after yoga class when compared with how they look when they walked into class. This is also a common longterm

effect after years of practice. I know many longtime yogis who look decades younger than their numerical age due to their decades of dedicated practice. And now we know why—yoga and meditation actually heal at the genetic level. So next time you are thinking about trying out a yoga class, just think— you may be adding years to your life, smoothing those worry lines, and tucking that tummy. So in addition to aiding that ailing back, strengthening your core, making your shoes easier to put on, and restoring your balance—it may give you a more youthful radiance. Did they just prove that yoga is the fountain of youth? Maybe so.

Raising Awareness

The Children’s Leukemia Research Association sheds light on Blood Cancer Awareness Month

Q A

BY JENNIFER FAUCI jfauci@antonmediagroup.com

here is nothing more heartbreaking than a sick child. For parents whose children have life threatening diseases that debilitate them and leave them exhausted, weak and unable to live the life of a normal kid, it is crucial to know where to turn to for help. Fortunately, there are hundreds of organizations out there that lend a helping hand, and The Children’s Leukemia Research Association Inc. (CLRA) is one of them. Angela Russo is the executive director of the nonprofit, 501c3 charity that offers grants toward research organizations and financial assistance for those undergoing treatment. As September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month, Russo and the CLRA are raising awareness for leukemia and how far research has come. : Tell me about your role as executive director of Children’s Leukemia Research Association. : My duties include all-inclusive administrative and operational aspects of managing the organization, including marketing, advertising and fundraising. I am additionally accountable to the board of trustees to ensure our two-prong mission of funding research grants and financially assisting Leukemia victims of all ages is realized while ensuring fiscal responsibility and compliance. : I know that CLRA provides funding to children and adults who are being treated for leukemia. What else does the organization assist with? : Each year, CLRA’s medical advisory committee, consisting of prominent internationally known and respected hematologists, reviews submitted research proposals from doctors nationwide. The objectives of this committee are to direct the funds of the association into the most promising projects, and where funding would not duplicate other funding sources. Our medical advisory team have recently reviewed requested research grants submitted and have recommended we fund research for University of South Carolina, Stanford, Roswell Park, Columbia University and Dana Farber Institute.

Q A

: September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month, so what does CLRA do to raise awareness for this? : Our organization is publicizing Blood Cancer Awareness Month by utilizing website and Facebook postings, local media advertising, email blasts and thank you cards to supporting donors.

: How do you garner attention for fundraising efforts and get the word out about the foundation? : As a result of our 2018 rebranding, reorganizing and rebuilding we are currently tapping into all affordable resources to raise funds. Since its inception in 1965, CLRA was known as the National Leukemia Research Association. As a result, not much effort was allocated into publicizing our association on a local level. Upon my joining CLRA last July, it was most evident that our own community, along with all of New York and Long Island, had very little knowledge of our work. Considering Long Island has the highest cost of living due to our tax structure, and CLRA offers patient aid to middle/working class leukemia victims of all ages, my priority was getting the word out locally. : What types of research is being done today that wasn’t being done 10 years ago for leukemia? : Acute promyelocytic leukemia used to be uniformly fatal. Now 70-80 percent of adults can be cured. This represents 10 percent of all adult acute myeloid leukemia. Acute lymphocytic leukemia in children used to be 90 percent fatal, now 90 percent are cured. Chronic myeloid leukemia in adults, 90 percent used to die within four years, now 90 percent survive at least 15 years and some are cured off all medications. : Do you have any fundraising events or meetings coming up that we can promote or draw attention to? : At this point in time we have no fundraisers scheduled, however we do have a significant board meeting coming up that will focus on the progress over the past year regarding all the components of the rebranding and reorganization and utilizing all data to concentrate on 2020 fundraising efforts. It is vital that our Long Island community becomes aware of the Children’s Leukemia Research Association because we help the victims of leukemia of all ages within the middle/ working socioeconomic populace. One does not need to be below or at the poverty income line to qualify for aid. The greatest challenge we are currently facing is raising enough funds to remain viable and continue helping patients and funding research. The Children’s Leukemia Research Association is located at 585 Stewart Ave, Suite 520 in Garden City. For more information, call 516-222-1944 or visit www.childrensleukemia. org.

Meet ROSA: A New Innovation In Pediatric Epilepsy Treatment Cohen Children’s Medical Center is the first on Long Island to use the seizure-fighting robot There are nearly 500,000 children in the U.S. living with the seizure disorder known as epilepsy. For many pediatric epilepsy patients, medication or diet can control or eliminate seizures. For others, surgical intervention may be necessary. As a leader in epilepsy and neurosurgery, Cohen Children’s Medical Center is the first pediatric program on Long Island to use ROSA—a new robotic operating surgical assistant that makes epilepsy and other pediatric neurosurgery procedures more precise and safe. ROSA the robot is giving pediatric epilepsy patients at Cohen Children’s an easier path to treatment.

accurately detect and characterize seizure activity. Once the electrodes are in place, patients are monitored for seizure activity, and Cohen Children’s surgeons use the data collected to create a more targeted treatment plan. Cohen Children’s is one of the New York metropolitan area’s largest providers of pediatric neurosurgery.

WHAT IS ROSA AND HOW IS IT DIFFERENT? ROSA uses a robotic arm that is able to target suspected areas of seizure activity through small incisions in the skull. This minimally invasive approach eliminates the need to open the skull to pinpoint seizures. With ROSA’s assistance, surgeons can get the same results, while reducing the risk of infection and strain on the patient. A PRECISE PATHWAY ROSA uses a powerful navigation system and a robotic arm that provides exceptional dexterity and control of movement. It has surgical planning software that allows surgeons to download preoperative imaging scans and create accurate 3D maps of the brain. During the procedure, the robotic arm can be fitted with various instruments and guided to precise points in the brain. Thin wires, known as depth electrodes, are then placed into the brain to more

Reduces pain and bleeding for quicker healing Increases access to the surgical area due to the robotic arm that mimics human arm movements Provides precise instrument guidance through the robot arm’s high dexterity Reduces operating time due to increased efficiencies, particularly with placement of multiple electrodes for SEEG Eliminates need to remove a portion of the skull

ROSA WEARS MANY HATS In addition to monitoring pediatric epilepsy, Cohen Children’s uses ROSA to support many neurosurgical procedures, including stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG), thermal ablation of seizure foci or tumors, deep brain stimulation (DBS) and surgical treatment of movement disorders.

Northwell’s outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program, which is part of the Sandra Atlas Bass Heart Hospital at North Shore University Hospital (NSUH), is designed for patients who have undergone coronary artery stenting, heart surgeries such

as bypass, valve surgery, or heart transplant, or carry a diagnosis of heart attack, stable angina, or chronic systolic heart failure. The program provides individualized exercise and risk factor modification plans, close monitoring of patients’ vitals, exercise reserve, and delivers customized heart health education and emotional support. “The cardiac rehabilitation center provides a vital service to our patients when they leave the hospital, a time when they are most vulnerable,” said Benjamin Hirsh, MD, the program’s medical director as well as director of preventive cardiology at NSUH. “The program empowers individuals to

return to everyday living with the confidence necessary to thrive and the tools essential to improve their quality of life and longevity.” Hirsh said the comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation center supports the most heart transplant recipients on Long Island. “It’s incredible to see what these patients can achieve as they progress through the program. These successes cannot be accomplished without a staff that is dedicated to provide superior quality care,” he added. While the cardiac rehabilitation center was established in 2017, it was a goal from the outset to be designated as a center of excellence through AACVPR certification,

Katz Women’s Hospital (KWH) at North Shore University Hospital (NSUH) has been designated a center of excellence by the Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology (SOAP). Only 39 hospitals worldwide have received this distinction and NSUH is the sole facility on Long Island to be honored. To receive the designation, NSUH met requirements demonstrating excellence in obstetric anesthesia care. The criteria analyzed included: anesthesia protocols, preparedness during emergencies for high risk pregnancies, medical team collaboration and mobilization of a backup system within a designated time frame. Cesarean delivery management and labor practices were also factored into receiving the recognition. “This is a well-deserved recognition of the care we

deliver to our patients,” said Greg T. Palleschi, MD, NSUH’s director of obstetric anesthesiology. “Most importantly, this certificate recognizes the excellence of our entire obstetric team consisting not only of our anesthesia department but also our obstetricians, nurses, and physician assistants as well. The integration and cooperation of these services culminates in the highest level of care and that is what this award recognizes.” The Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology aims to improve pregnancy-related outcomes of women and neonates through the support of obstetric anesthesiology research, the provision of education to its members, other providers and pregnant women, and the promotion of excellence in clinical anesthetic care. —Submitted by Northwell Health

Supporting School Nurses Northwell launches clinical education program To enhance the health of children in its communities, Northwell Health has launched its School Nurse Professional Development Program, which provides education and clinical skills practice for these health care professionals. The program helps school nurses stay up-to-date on changes in the rapidly evolving field of health care, empowering them to more effectively care for students. “At Northwell, we’re committed to caring not just for the children at our hospitals and practices but for all the children and families in our area,” said Launette Woolforde, EdD, DNP, RNBC, vice president of nursing education and professional development at Northwell Health. “One way of achieving that goal is through providing educational support to school nurses, who are vital in protecting the physical, emotional and mental health of children from kindergarten through high school.” The new program meets a demonstrated need. Unlike a number of other states, New York does not require nurses to participate in continuing education to maintain their license; additionally, there are limited resources available to school nurses who are interested in ongoing clinical education and skills practice as well as professional development. Clinicians at Northwell’s Cohen Children’s Medical Center in New Hyde Park have regularly fielded calls from school nurses asking for guidance regarding new medical technology and practice guidelines. In response, for the past two years, the health system has offered informational sessions on a variety of

health care topics, which have been attended by approximately 1,000 school nurses. The new program, which was jointly developed by Northwell Health Community Relations, Cohen Children’s Medical Center and the Northwell Health Institute for Nursing, includes an expanded schedule of these educational workshops and adds clinical instruction courses that offer school nurses hands-on experience with equipment, along with interactive demonstrations and assessment of nursing skills. “Through our involvement with local school districts, we became aware that school nurses are often siloed from education on the newest medical treatments and technologies,” said Matthew DePace, Northwell’s Regional Director of Community Relations for Long Island and Queens. “School nurses face many more demands these days than in years past,” said Laura McDonagh, director of pediatric services at Cohen Children’s Medical Center. “More children have chronic conditions or complex medical needs, and nurses have to be prepared for potentially life-threatening emergencies, like diabetic coma or anaphylaxis.” The first clinical classes will be held in the 20192020 school year, and will cover best practices when handling anaphylaxis in a school setting, managing students with diabetes and caring for students with seizure disorder. The educational courses will update nurses on the latest evidence-based approaches to a variety of topics, including food allergies,

childhood anxiety, the use of social media, urological issues, and human and child sex trafficking. The educational program also includes Northwell’s well-attended school nurse program addressing the opioid epidemic. The program, Recovery, Resilience and Hope, destigmatizes and reframes substance misuse and abuse as medical issues, provides information on resources available for students and community members with substance use issues, and provides a broad range of strategies that nurses can use in addressing opioid-related concerns. Participants also learn

Northwell’s School Nurse Professional Development Program offers clinical instruction and guidance on new medical technology and practice guidelines. how to prevent, recognize and respond to overdose, including administering naloxone, the medication designed to rapidly reverse opioid overdose. More than 400 nurses have attended the program and by the close of 2019, the program will have been made available to nurses in every school district in Northwell’s footprint.

School nurses can register for these educational and clinical programs or for the opioid education program, Recovery, Resilience and Hope in the 2019-20 school year by visiting www. northwell.edu. —Submitted by Northwell Health

Skateboarding Buddies Raising money for pediatric cancer survivors

Devin Votta, 24, of Levittown, and three of his childhood friends have figured out the perfect way to carve for a cause. On Aug. 3 and 4, Votta and his friends— Sean, James and Steven Reilly, also of Levittown—strapped on their helmets and transformed into the skateboarding team of Ride 4 Life: Carving 4 A Cause. The intrepid quartet hit the streets of Long Island, and began their journey at Cohen Children’s Medical Center in New Hyde Park and ended at Montauk Lighthouse, a journey of more than 120 miles. All part of a fundraising effort to benefit Cohen’s SURFF (Survivors Facing Forward) program, led by Jonathan Fish, MD, director of the SURFF program. For Votta, the journey is the best way he can think of to pay homage to his grandfather, Daniel Huggard, who passed away in 2017 from leukemia. “Ride 4 Life will show that no battle is too tough, no road too far and no fight too strong when people work together for a cause,” said Votta. During a brief visit to Cohen Children’s, Fish congratulated the team on their dedication and compassion and thanked

Northwell Opens Pancreatic Cancer Center

pproximately 60,000 new cases of pancreatic cancer are diagnosed each year in the US and less than 10 percent of those people will survive. Among the most devastating of cancers, it cannot be prevented, there is no definitive screening test and symptoms don’t occur until the cancer spreads to other areas of the body. Recognizing the complexity and expertise needed to care for patients with this dreaded dis-ease, the Northwell Health Cancer Institute on Wednesday announced the opening of its new Pancreatic Cancer Center, featuring a multidisciplinary team of surgical, medical and radiation oncologists, gastroenterologists, interventional radiologists, pathologists, endocrinologists, genetic counselors, social workers, nutritionists, and pain management and palliation specialists. At Wednesday’s news conference, Northwell clinicians leading the program were joined by a Long Island native who recently underwent surgery to remove a tumor within her pancreas, as well as representatives from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and the Lustgarten Foundation, which are collaborating with Northwell in the fight against pancreatic cancer. “Diagnosis and treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer can be very challenging be-cause the cancer is usually detected late, making treatment complex,” said Richard Barakat, MD, physician-in-chief and director of the Northwell Health Cancer Institute. “Northwell has designed its new center with renowned experts in all aspects of pancreatic cancer, including diagnosis and staging, surgical, medical and radiation oncology, as well as palliative care. “ As an integrated health system, Northwell is able to collaborate with physicians in multiple specialties and handle any other medical conditions patients may have. At the new center, patients and their families work closely with an experienced nurse navigator who facilitates communication and guides them every step of the way, Dr. Barakat said. Chicago resident Tonic Fabric, 50, who grew up in Atlantic Beach, shared the story of her courageous battle against pancreatic cancer, which was discovered in July 2017 after she returned from a vacation to Spain with her husband, Darren. While there, the then 48-year-old experienced shooting

White Coat Ceremony Welcomes First Class At NYU Long Island School Of Medicine

he newly accredited NYU Long Island School of Medicine (NYU LISOM) opened its doors to its first class of students this week, welcoming a new generation of aspiring physicians in an inaugural “White Coat Ceremony”—an emotionally moving rite of passage for students entering medical schools the world over. Of note, this year’s ceremony marked the official kick-off of New York University’s flagship medical school on Long Island—a school offering full-tuition scholarships with an innovative, accelerated three-year curriculum exclusively devoted to training primary care physicians. “NYU Long Island School of Medicine is the realization of a bold vision to make medical school attainable—without financial hardship—to attract the brightest and best students from diverse walks of life into the medical profession,” said Andrew Hamilton, president of NYU. NYU LISOM received more than 2,400 applications for the 24 available slots this year. It has already begun recruiting for next year’s class, which

The inaugural White Coat ceremony included each of the 24 new students reciting a version of the Hippocratic Oath— acknowledging their commitment to serving humanity with honor, compassion, and dignity, after which a white medical coat was draped upon each students’ shoulders. The event took place at the Mineola campus of NYU Winthrop Hospital, in a beautiful, new contemporary-designed space. During the ceremony, students

were surrounded by family and friends, as well as school leadership and faculty. “In the decade ahead, there is expected to be a significant shortage of primary care physicians nationwide, NYU LISOM hopes to inspire its graduates to help fill that void in the New York metro area and on Long Island,” said Dr. Steven Abramson of the program, which offers an accelerated three-year curriculum, allowing physicians to get into the

field of their choice earlier, during their most productive years, and with less debt. “The tuition-free initiative, along with the three-year curriculum, are critical milestones in transforming medical education and addressing the dramatic changes in the healthcare delivery system.” NYU Long Island School of Medicine is the second to open under the auspices of NYU. Additionally, full-tuition scholarships were offered to all students at NYU LISOM, regardless of merit or financial need. The new school’s curriculum, with its primary-care focus, will concentrate on internal and community medicine, pediatrics, OB/GYN, and general surgery, as compared to more traditional four-year schools that tend to focus on other specialties. All students are offered a conditional acceptance to an NYU Winthrop Hospital residency slot upon matriculation; it is believed that NYU LISOM is the only school in the nation to offer such a conditional guarantee. —Submitted by NYU Long Island School Of Medicine

How-to Make The Perfect Powerhouse Salad

COLUMN

Start with a powerhouse green

CHOOSING HEALTH STEFANI SASSOS

In order to incorporate more plants into your diet, a salad a day is a great start. Not only does a salad allow you to pack in quite a bit of vegetables, but it’s also a great way to sneak in extra fiber and water. Don’t forget, vegetables carry a lot of water and can help you stay hydrated, too. Incorporating a salad can help fight that mid-afternoon slump and keep you feeling energized for hours. Here are a few tips for creating a truly powerhouse salad meal.

Your green base is really personal preference. If you love romaine or iceburg lettuce, you can certainly choose that as your base, but keep in mind that these varieties of lettuce but they don’t have much nutritional value. The darker green leafy vegetables such as spinach, arugula, and kale have a much higher vitamin and mineral content. If you can, try to choose one of these darker greens or opt for a combo of both.

Go lean with protein

Although our vegetables are giving us fiber, we still need protein to help stabilize our blood sugar and promote satiety. Opt for a lean protein such as grilled chicken or baked salmon. Or, choose a plant-based protein such as chickpeas or edamame.

eptember is almost the unofficial start to the year. The fall is a great time to re-group and hit the ground running. This month is the perfect opportunity to re-commit to those goals you set back in January. One easy step towards improving your health and nutrition is by following a more plant-based diet. You don’t necessarily have to become a vegan or vegetarian, but adding more plants into your diet can help you manage your weight and also improve your overall health. Plant-based diets have been linked to countless health benefits, including reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and even cognitive decline. The nice thing about a plant-based diet is that it focuses more on foods that we can add in as opposed to foods we need to cut out.

Alcohol By Volume “But I only drink a glass or two wine at dinner, that’s not really alcohol so how can I have a liver problem?” I hear this a lot as many people have a true misunderstanding regarding the alcohol content of beer, wine and distilled spirits such as scotch or vodka. The amount of liquid that one drinks does not necessarily correlate with the amount of alcohol that is taken in. It is therefore important to understand the alcohol content of each alcoholic beverage. Most beers contain about 5 percent alcohol. Light beers have slightly less alcohol, but not by much, averaging about 4.2 percent alcohol. Malt liquors contain a higher alcohol content, about 7 percent. Wine has considerably more alcohol with an average content of around 12 percent and heavier alcohols like gin, vodka, scotch, tequila, etc. have about a 40 percent alcohol content. In the United States, a standard drink, contains about 14 grams of alcohol. Examples of standard drinks are 12 ounces of beer, a glass of wine or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits. Heavy drinking is defined as more than 14 standard drinks per week for a woman and more than 21 standard drinks for a man. Unfortunately, many people can drink significantly less than these amounts and still develop advanced liver disease, usually related to either concomitant medical issues, usually obesity or diabetes or a genetic predisposition. To make it more complicated,

different wines have significantly different alcohol contents and the amount of alcohol consumed in wine is also related to the size of the pour, with many pours being more than the standard 5 ounces, especially when one orders a bottle at a restaurant. Low alcohol wines with less than 10 percent alcohol by volume are ones such as German Rieslings or Italian moscatos. Medium-high alcohol content wines, with 13.5-15 percent alcohol by content, include chardonnays, pinot noirs, zinfandels, malbecs, barolos, amarones, brunellos and Chateauneuf-du-Pape, to name just a few. High alcohol content wines, containing more than 15 percent alcohol by volume, include sherry, port, Madeira, Marsala and Thunderbird. Alcohol use can lead to a spectrum of liver injury, from simple fatty liver to cirrhosis and its complications. Alcohol related liver disease is now the leading indication for liver transplantation in the United States. It is important to note that the vast majority of people who drink responsibly will not develop liver problems. However, in some people, as little as two glasses of wine a day can cause significant liver disease, especially in thin women. It is very important for people to understand the alcohol content of the beverages that they enjoy, for both your health as well as the health of others. The higher the alcohol content, the more likely one will develop concentration and judgment impairments which effect one’s ability to safely drive a motor vehicle. Overall, the use of alcohol requires good common sense. “Everything in moderation, nothing in excess,” remains a good axiom to live by. If one has any concerns regarding their alcohol use, these concerns should be addressed by a physician.

National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

varian cancer sneaks up on women because in its early stages, the symptoms aren’t intense and present vaguely, and there is no dependable screening test for the cancer. According to the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition, ovarian cancer is diagnosed in nearly 80 percent of women when the cancer is already in its later stages and prognosis is poor. The American Cancer Society notes that ovarian cancer is the deadliest of cancers affecting the female reproductive system and the fifth-leading cause of cancer deaths among women overall. Ovarian cancer will be diagnosed in an estimated 22,500 American women in 2019. September is set aside as National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month to rally support, research and treatment for this tough-to-detect gynecological cancer. Standing unified in a countrywide awareness campaign, a number of cancer prevention and healthcare organizations join with everyday citizens and ovarian cancer patients and their families to fight for a cancer-free future. “Just because older women can no longer have children, it does not mean they are no longer at risk for reproductive system cancers. The opposite is true,” said Gregg Balbera, president of Right at Home Nassau Suffolk. “Because ovarian cancer is more prevalent in older women, particularly women who are age 63 and up, we encourage our senior clients to stay current on their health exams. It is important for all of us to stay proactive with our health as we age.” The ovaries are a pair of almond-sized reproductive glands found on each side of a woman’s uterus in the pelvis. The ovaries’ job is to produce eggs for reproduction and the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. Ovarian cancer occurs when abnormal cells in an ovary grow out of control and crowd out normal cells. Eventually, these erratic cancer cells form a lump or tumor. The American Cancer Society finds that a woman has a one in 78 chance of getting ovarian cancer

during her life. Aging, excess weight and obesity, late-age pregnancy and fertility treatments, hormone replacement therapy after menopause, if you are a breast cancer survivor, if you are a carrier for BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 or if you have a family history of ovarian, breast or colorectal cancer, all contribute to ovarian cancer. Oncology researchers do note a few factors that can help lower the risk of ovarian cancer including having a full-term baby before age 26, breastfeeding and taking oral contraceptives. Some studies also show that ovarian cancer risk lowers through other birth control forms including tubal ligation (tying of fallopian tubes), using intrauterine devices and undergoing a hysterectomy without removing the ovaries. Catching cancer early is always the goal to allow

for more treatment options. The American Cancer Society states, “Only about 20 percent of ovarian cancers are found at an early stage. When ovarian cancer is found early, about 94 percent of patients live longer than five years after diagnosis.” Currently, there is no consistently effective screening test for ovarian cancer. Regular women’s health exams are important to help rule out reproductive system cancers of any kind. Part of the pelvic exam includes a Pap test for detecting early cervical cancer. In rare instances, a Pap test has helped detect an advanced stage ovarian cancer. In addition to a complete pelvic exam, a transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and the CA-125 blood test are ordered sometimes for women at highest risk for ovarian cancer, but both of these tests are not fully reliable for detecting cancer of the ovaries. Once ovarian cancer is diagnosed, doctors will try to determine the extent of the cancer through a process called staging. Ovarian cancer stages range from I through IV, with IV involving the greatest

spread of the cancer. Staging helps doctors determine the best treatment options. Surgery to remove the cancerous growth is the most common treatment for women with ovarian cancer. Chemotherapy that delivers chemicals to destroy or stop cancer cells from growing is also a best practice for ovarian cancer. Radiation is rarely used for treating ovarian cancer in the United States, but may be used to shrink tumors and destroy cancer cells that have spread to other parts of the body. Many women also choose a number of complementary therapies including acupuncture, herbal medicine, meditation and massage to boost their whole body approach to cancer treatment. “With the awareness that National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month brings and the efforts of ongoing research and clinical trials, the American Cancer Society reports that the diagnosis rate for ovarian cancer has slowly declined over the past 20 years,” Balbera explained. —Submitted by Right at Home

Thyroid Cancer Awareness Month Spotlighting the need for early detection and more research

While the most common thyroid cancers are usually treatable if found early, some types and variants are often aggressive and difficult to treat. And, unlike many other cancers, the mortality rate for thyroid cancer has gradually increased in recent years. People of all ages, from infants through seniors, are diagnosed with thyroid cancer. In addition, patients need lifelong daily medication and periodic testing following treatment. The expenses can be high, and treatments may have side effects that impact patients’ quality of life. ThyCa: Thyroid Cancer Survivors’ Association, Inc. created this observance 19 years

ago to increase awareness about the many types and variants of thyroid cancer: Papillary (and variants), Follicular (including Hurthle Cell), Medullary and Anaplastic. “Find It Early” messages to encourage medical professionals to perform quick neck checks to find thyroid nodules through palpation using their fingers, together with expert follow-up if a nodule is found. Most thyroid nodules are benign, not cancerous. New treatments are extending lives for many people with thyroid cancer. However, the overall death rate continues to rise. The annual International Thyroid Cancer Survivors’ Conference,

plus videos and free handbooks, helpful support groups both in-person and online are where patients and caregivers share experiences and coping tips, thyroid cancer awareness campaigns and research fundraising activities. In 2019, the nonprofit ThyCa: Thyroid Cancer Survivors’ Association, Inc. is marking its 24th year of providing thyroid cancer information and a wide array of free support services, educational resources, and thyroid cancer events to people affected by thyroid cancer as well as professionals and the public.

The Mommy Makeover: A Combined Approach to Body Rejuvenation By Dr. Shain Cuber, New York Plastic Surgeon

Mommy Makeover targets trouble areas such as the breasts, tummy, hips, and flanks. A Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures performed on the same day, to address any or all of the issues that may be left in the wake of childbearing.

Typically, a Mommy Makeover consists of: Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck), Breast Augmentation or Breast Lift, and Liposuction. Each of these procedures address the specific issues that need to be restored, resulting in a total body transformation. For best results, it is encouraged for the patient to be complete with having children before undergoing a Mommy Makeover. Patients must also be in good health and should have someone to help with childcare while they are convalescing. If you are considering undergoing a Mommy Makeover, it is important to consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. During the consultation, the surgeon will listen to your specific goals and discuss possible treatment plans. Photographs from different angles will also be taken either at the initial consultation and/or the day of the procedure, which aids in surgical planning for both you and the surgeon. It is important that you feel comfortable with your surgeon and that all of your questions and concerns are addressed. As with all cosmetic procedures, the goal is for a happy, healthy, and more confident YOU. Author bio: Dr. Shain Cuber is a Board Certified plastic surgeon practicing in Great Neck and Manhattan. He is also a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

The gift of life is a beautiful thing; when you look at your new baby after carrying it for months, there is no greater joy. With the biggest joys often come the biggest pains—one of these being getting back into your previous shape once you bounce back from childbirth. While this may all seem vain to some, looking good and feeling good have a high impact on one’s self-image and well-being; permeating into all aspects of one’s life. The physical changes that your body endures during pregnancy do take a while to reverse post-partum, yet, unfortunately some of these changes can be irreversible for many women, no matter how hard they try. The skin may become loose due to a lack of skin elasticity, genetics, age, or just overstretching. The abdominal wall muscles can become weak and protrude, resulting in a potbelly. A loss of breast tissue may result in saggy or “deflated” breasts after nursing. Fat may have accumulated in certain areas and is resistant to positive lifestyle changes such as healthy eating and regular exercise.

Annual Adelphi Breast Cancer Celebration Of Survivorship Four breast cancer survivors will tell their powerful stories at the annual Celebration of Survivorship of the Adelphi Breast Cancer Program on Thursday, Oct. 3 at 7 p.m. The event, which will be held in the Adelphi Performing Arts Center, is free and open to the public but reservations are required. The four women are Barbara Ehrenpreis (28-year survivor), Margaret Bores (30-year survivor), Estafany Carolina Garay (5½-year survivor) and Cindy Kay-Fink (25year survivor). Ehrenpreis was referred to the Adelphi Breast Cancer by the hospital where she was receiving chemotherapy. She joined a support group and her life took a different turn. After completing the group, Ehrenpreis volunteered to be a hotline volunteer. That led her to the decision to attend the Adelphi School of Social Work and completed a Masters Degree in Social Work. Today, she is a licensed

Clinical Social Worker, working for NorthWell Health Hospice Care Network, providing support to hospice patients on the Palliative Care Unit at NorthWell Manhasset, as well as in their homes. Bores played professional basketball for the New Jersey Amazons at age 17, opening for the Harlem Globe Trotters at the Renaissance Club in Harlem. In 1979, she refereed one of the first women’s college

basketball games played at Madison Square Garden. After her four children graduated from college, she earned degrees in physical therapy psychology, and exercise physiology. While attending college, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and when she recovered, spent 10 years as a member of the Living with Breast Cancer Program, organizing and maintaining the lending library and teaching breast self-exam. She has been a breast health educator, speaking at colleges, factories, stores and community centers and for 10 years she taught the exercise program for the Arthritis Society. Garay is a first generation American; her parents emigrated from El Salvador in 1980 and she was born here and grew up in Freeport. She earned a BA from Hofstra University and M.P.A (magna cum laude) from LIU Post. Today, she is director of the Town of North Hempstead’s Yes We Can Community Center in Westbury.

She is responsible for programming and maintenance of the facility and oversees an afterschool program with over 50 children and a summer activities program with 80 children. Kaye-Fink was 36 years old with two young children and a full-time job as a court reporter when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She reached out to the Young Women’s Support Group at the Adelphi Breast Cancer Program where she met with others in her situation and gained the support she needed to go on. In 2010 breast cancer returned. After a mastectomy, reconstruction and more chemo, today she is in remission and giving back by being a volunteer with the Adelphi program.

Alzheimer’s Foundation Of America Awards $100,000 Grant NYU Winthrop Hospital will use the funds to develop new Alzheimer’s treatments

the brain. These extracellular pieces of neuron, or vesicles, carry genetic information regarding brain neurons and can be extracted from blood. Researchers will investigate differences in this genetic information between healthy individuals and those with Alzheimer’s and, since these reflect differences in actual brain neurons, plan to use the information gained to reprogram Alzheimer’s neurons to behave like those in healthy people. “Alzheimer’s disease is a growing public health epidemic. With the

number of Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease expected to nearly triple by 2060, the need for a disease-modifying treatment is critical,” said AFA president and CEO Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr. “NYU Winthrop Hospital’s cutting-edge research project has great potential to increase understanding of the causes of Alzheimer’s, leading to treatment that millions of families are hoping for.” “Examining these particles from brain neurons is like conducting detective work, since they provide

clues as to what is occurring in the brain itself,” said Reiss. According to NYU Winthrop, this innovative approach has evolved out of research that Reiss’ team has been conducting for the last five years, much of it funded by a previous AFA grant. Reiss noted that in the last two decades, only a handful of medicines were approved to treat Alzheimer’s, while the vast majority of clinical trials—more than 120—were halted. Trials typically rely on research first conducted on mice or using spinal fluid, and those often fail to replicate the complex neurological activity in the human brain. That contrasts with research to find cures for cancers of the liver, lungs, etc., where it is increasingly common for pieces of tissue to be extracted for biopsies – and for profiling of cancer cells—to come up with optimal treatment regimens. —Submitted by AFA

Hearing Health: Dispelling Five Common Myths BY DIANE NENS

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

he sounds of fall are approaching: the windy rustle of leaves, crickets chirping and children going back to school. But for a growing number of people, these sounds are becoming more difficult to hear. Hearing loss affects more than 48 million people nationwide, and it could become more widespread in the coming years due to an aging population and our increasingly noisy world. To help people reduce their risk of hearing loss and become more informed about the nation’s third most common chronic condition, here are five myths—and facts—to consider.

Hearing loss affects only hearing loss is associated with social isolation, dementia, older people While it is true that most people’s hearing naturally declines as we age, the condition can affect people in their 30s, 40s and 50s. In fact, nearly one-third of people with hearing loss are 59 or younger. The condition could affect more people in the coming decades, as more than 1.1 billion young adults worldwide are at risk of developing hearing loss, according to a study by the World Health Organization.

It is harmless Hearing loss is more than a nuisance or a sign of aging—it can have a significant impact on people’s overall health. For instance, research shows

depression and other health ailments. People with hearing loss are 32 percent more likely to be hospitalized, according to the Better Hearing Institute.

It can’t be prevented Exposure to loud sounds can contribute to noise-induced hearing loss. To help reduce your risk, limit exposure to loud sounds and consider using ear protection, especially at sporting events and music concerts where sounds can often exceed 100 decibels. When listening to music or movies on a mobile device, people should consider over-the-ear headphones—especially models with noise-canceling

properties—as those are generally considered a better option than earbuds.

It will improve without treatment For some people in the early stages of hearing loss, there is an expectation—and hope— the problem will resolve itself or improve eventually. The reality is hearing loss tends to gradually worsen over time without treatment. Unlike a broken bone or other physical injury, hearing follicles don’t regrow or repair themselves.

Hearing aids are bulky and expensive

Hearing aids can be expensive, but more affordable options are becoming available.

Direct-to-consumer hearing aids can enable people to save up to 80 percent compared to devices sold through traditional channels. And a growing number of health plans are offering coverage for hearing aids, including through some Medicare Advantage and employer-sponsored benefit plans. Plus, newer advances are making hearing aids smaller and more comfortable while incorporating fall-detection capabilities and blue-tooth technology to synch with smartphones and other digital devices.

NYU Langone Health, NYU Winthrop Complete Full-Asset Merger

YU Langone Health announced today the completion of a full-asset merger with NYU Winthrop Hospital, with which it has been affiliated since 2017. The partnership will expand, enhance, and clinically integrate NYU Langone’s healthcare networks on Long Island, while building upon those of NYU Winthrop Hospital, which provides inpatient and outpatient medical care through its network of Long Island– based healthcare facilities. “NYU Winthrop has proven to be an exceptional partner and shares our level of commitment to patient care,” said Robert I. Grossman, MD, the Saul J. Farber Dean of NYU School of Medicine and CEO of NYU Langone Health. “Since we’ve been affiliated, our institutions have enhanced the range and quality of services offered to the residents of Long Island and have grown the physician network across the region, with NYU Winthrop serving as the primary inpatient hospital.” In a phased approach, the merger with NYU Winthrop added approximately 70 ambulatory sites to NYU Langone’s healthcare network, including one inpatient location in Mineola, which has served Long Islanders for more than 120 years. Additional benefits of the partnership mean that Long Islanders now have access to NYU Langone’s specialized services and resources, including increased access to clinical trials—and more cost-effective care delivery across the region. The implementation and integration of the Epic electronic health record system throughout NYU Winthrop facilities allows for a seamless continuum of care across ambulatory sites—and an improved patient experience. NYU Winthrop’s Research Institute initiatives, including clinical trials, are also being integrated with those of NYU Langone. Capital commitments have been made to expand and modernize various NYU Winthrop physical facilities to better accommodate an increasing Long Island patient population. NYU Winthrop Hospital’s 591-bed medical center, with more than 75 divisions of specialty care and an ACS Level 1 Trauma Center, offers current NYU Langone patients on Long Island comprehensive inpatient care, as well as outpatient care through a network of healthcare

facilities closer to home. Current NYU Langone patients on Long Island also have access to NYU Winthrop Hospital’s many stellar services and programs including a renowned cardiac program, with NYU Winthrop among the top five transcatheter

aortic valve replacement centers in the country; the first Diabetes Education Program established in New York State and the first major teaching hospital in the state to earn The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for advanced inpatient diabetes care;

NYU Winthrop’s CyberKnife Center, the first established in the region; a Breast Health Center that was the first in Nassau County to earn certification by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers and an internationally renowned Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and the hospital offers the only fetal surgery program on Long Island. “The merger of these two outstanding institutions will enable us to expand the services offered to the communities we serve, enhance the level of care provided, increase access for patients to clinical trials, and lead to the more cost effective delivery of care across the region,” said John Collins, Winthrop’s president and CEO. —Submitted by NYU Winthrop Hospital

Four Dedicated Pancreatic Cancer Research Laboratories More resources, time and talent are being put toward this disease, where they are urgently needed.

How To Navigate A Pancreatic Cancer Diagnosis

Have you or a loved one recently been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer? It is estimated that this year alone, more than 56,000 Americans will be diagnosed, and the ﬁve-year survival rate remains in the single digits. The Lustgarten Foundation is the world’s largest private funder of pancreatic cancer research and is at the forefront of the most promising breakthroughs. The Foundation is committed to helping you navigate this disease and has developed the checklist below highlighting a few immediate steps to take after receiving this diagnosis. Understand your disease. Thoroughly understand what stage of pancreatic cancer you have. Staging cancer is a standardized way to classify a tumor based on its size, whether it has spread, and where it has spread. Staging measures the extent of the disease and will impact treatment.

Walk for Research Raise awareness and funding for pancreatic cancer research. We have more than 30 walks across the country annually, which have raised more than $40 million since inception.

Get genetic testing. Inquire about having your blood or saliva tested to identify possible genetic predispositions to cancer. This testing can have implications for family members and can guide your treatment program. According to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network’s guidelines, all pancreatic cancer patients should undergo genetic testing for inherited genetic mutations, regardless of family history. Get tumor testing. Tumor testing is still in the early stages of being studied. If you are being treated at a major cancer center, you may want to inquire about having your tumor tested for genetic mutations, which in some instances can help identify additional therapy programs. Seek opinions from experts. Get two opinions and make sure one is from a large academic institution specializing in treating pancreatic cancer. Know your healthcare team. Treating pancreatic cancer requires an interdisciplinary approach that includes your oncologist and other specialists who will be involved in your care. Continue to see other doctors who are involved in your overall care, such as your internist.

Accessible Living

Combining fashion with function for those in need BY JENNIFER FAUCI

or nearly four decades, Brickhouse Design Group has designed and provided construction management for accessibility for thousands of clients who need mobility modifications within their homes. From architectural drawings to interior design, Todd Brickhouse Accessibility Associates have helped clients to live independent, empowered lives by taking the guesswork out of selecting the right providers of mobility products and services to meet accessibility needs. Todd Brickhouse serves as the president and architectural designer for Brickhouse Design Group, where he works with other architects to come up with designs and implement work based through contractors. “I don’t have a background in architecture. I was actually a biology major and worked in the prosthetic field for many years,” he said. “I made artificial limbs for years as a prosthetist. Then I met a young man who

Style is not sacrificed for those who need specialty ramps and bathroom appliances. (Photos courtesy of Todd Brickhouse) had recently bought a medical supply business.

of different products and appliances.” The ability to help people with physical, visual and audio impairments and disabilities went so much further since the inception of Brickhouse’s model home in 1982. As a designer, he felt that beauty and style shouldn’t be compromised when installing products that are not appealing to the eye. Cutting out the middleman, Brickhouse works directly with the client’s insurance company, easing their mind throughout the entire process. His business is an unusual one with a niche market, but it’s all about customer satisfaction, whether the customer is 8 or 80. “We come up with a design and submit it to the insurance company for their approval. Some of our clients are very involved and very specific in what they envision,” said Brickhouse. “It’s definitely tough and tugs at your heart and you just want to improve people’s lives and situations and make their life simpler because they would much prefer to stay in their home than live somewhere else.” For his personal taste, Brickhouse prefers subway tiles as well as shades of gray paints for cabinetry and he

will do his best not to make spaces cold and institutionalized-looking. When it comes to necessary equipment, Brickhouse likes grab rails for customer ease and will contrast the colors if the design if for a client who is blind or visually impaired. Showers with low drains to eliminate water quickly, built-in sinks that are easy to clean and handheld shower heads are easy ways to make bathrooms more accessible for the owner. “Depending on what your disability is, I try to make the look as aesthetically pleasing as possible. We have customers that like the classic look and others who prefer the high end style,” said Brickhouse, adding that people want to live comfortably in their homes and won’t be ashamed of having someone use their facilities if it looks less threatening. The firm takes personalizing appointments a step further by offering interior design charts for the deaf and blind and having sign language interpreters or those who need other services available to assist in a consultation. “I love what I do and I’m very fortunate that I can make the quality of life better for people and their families and try to do it with style because you have to be cognizant of giving people options,” said Brickhouse, acknowledging the role he has played in revolutionizing the handicapped home design industry. “If you were disabled, how you would want your home to function?” As for garnering attention for the company, Brickhouse puts out a monthly newsletter and gains clients through word of mouth. His track record also speaks for itself. “It’s very rewarding when you are working with individuals and providing solutions for them that change their lives,” he said. Brickhouse Design Group is located at 8 Joan Lane in Massapequa Park. For more information, call 844894-3315 or visit www.brick housedesigns.net.

LOCAL HISTORY

Horace Harding: More Than A Big Wheel

BY JOE SCOTCHIE

jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

n northeastern Queens, the Horace Harding Expressway intersects with Francis Lewis Boulevard. The expressway is really just a long service road, a chance for motorists to skip the traffic on the Long Island Expressway (LIE) and try their luck instead of a side street, red lights or no red lights. Plenty of people find it a convenient way to navigate Long Island traffic. As we pointed out in a recent issue, Francis Lewis is not forgotten, nor is he remembered as he should be. The man suffered greatly for the cause of American independence, losing his wife and property in Whitestone. His son had even greater glory, serving in both the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, while also serving a term as governor of New York. For all this, Morgan Lewis gets a street named for him in Brooklyn. And not “Morgan Lewis Street,” but just plain old “Lewis Street.” It’s not Jerry Lewis that the designers had in mind. You might guess that Horace Harding, like per and fils Lewis, was also part of the founding era. He wasn’t. The man did however have a rendezvous with American history. Harding was born in 1863, one of those red-letter dates in the nation’s history. That year saw the legendary Battle of Gettysburg, where General George Meade’s forces beat back the advances of Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia. Just a short few days later, many of those Union Army who fought in—at that time—history’s most ferocious battle had to travel back to New York City to fight another civil war, this one between a New York militia loyal to Governor Horatio Seymour and Union troops loyal to President Abraham Lincoln. It wasn’t as bloody as Gettysburg, but as moviegoers learned by watching The Gangs Of New York, the caskets were lined up as far as the eye could see. The baby Harding slept through all this, but Horace Harding’s life would be shaped by the Civil War. After the war, America continued to grow mightily as an industrial power. By the turn of the century, it would surpass Great Britain as the world’s largest economy. With the Spanish-American War, it would acquire a global empire of its own. As important was the rise of train travel

The Horace Harding Expressway and the construction of railroads. That is where the action was. And Harding became part of the great boom of the Gilded Age. Harding, who died in 1929, made his original fortune on Wall Street as a financier. In time, he rose to the director of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad and the New York Municipal Railways System. It wasn’t until after World War II that Robert Moses made his mark on New York, building highways, tunnels and bridges throughout the metropolitan area. Moses had plans for New York well before the boom era of the 1950s. And he had an ally in Horace Harding. The latter, according to local historians, used his influence to promote highway development in Long Island, including Moses’ so-called Great Parkway Plan, one that would indeed

reconfigure much of the New York City area. Harding lent financial support to Nassau Boulevard, the thoroughfare constructed in the early 1920s, one that extended itself from Queens Boulevard in East Elmhurst to Little Neck. After Harding’s death, the boulevard was renamed in honor of the railroad magnate. Some historians have a dour view of the long-forgotten Harding. While most residents in the area don’t have the foggiest idea who the expressway is named for, Kathleen McGrath, a local history buff, had some ready answers. “Horace J. Harding was an affluent financier and director of the New York Municipal Railways System,” she told the media in a 2011 interview. “But he was also an ardent supporter of Robert Moses’ ‘great parkway’ plan,

who used his influence to petition for a highway from Queens Boulevard out to Shelter Rock in Nassau County,” adding that he was also “a big golfer and wanted to build a road that would provide better access to the Oakland Country Club where he was a member.” “I think the real legacy left behind by Horace Harding is that despite all the money he and his friends had, they used their influence to cajole public funds from the city to build what was in essence a driveway to their country club out east,” McGrath concluded in her interview. The expressway was far more than a roadway to a country club. It figured heavily in the entire construction of the LIE. From 1953-58, Moses built the expressway along the route of then-Horace Harding Boulevard. “Amazingly, the name has been retained till the present,” another historian has noted. But is this so surprising? An expressway is not the only thing that bears Harding’s name. From 1930-45, a Horace Harding Hospital in Elmhurst served the community. A history of the hospital, now closed, is sketchy. As noted, historians list the closing date in 1945. However, a March 30, 1947 article in The New York Times hails the Horace Harding Hospital as the “first built here” since the end of the war. When did the hospital cease being named for Harding? Either way, the hospital, until 2009, operated under the name St. John’s Hospital. That’s not all. Rego Park boasts of a Horace Harding Elementary School (P.S. 206) and a Horace Harding Park for toddlers. A hospital, a school and a playground. All of this happened after the man’s death, so Harding could not have used his money or influence to have things named in a vainglorious tribute to him. His financial backing of Nassau Boulevard was the driving force of that name change. Harding was more than a high-powered railroad executive. He was a man who gave to the community in a manner its residents appreciated. Who knows? Maybe Harding has survivors who can further enlighten the public on the man whose expressway is driven on day in and day out by thousands who lack the time to think of such things.

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direction but always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 27 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND Home office

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Attractive offers don’t always come from attractive entities. In fact, sweeter offers will spring from less prestigious sources. The confident will take a better deal over the more glamorous one. You’re in that club. You don’t need to be seen as glamorous to know your value. You’re not caught up in people’s perceptions. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you feel you have no control in a situation, then your motivation to do anything about it will plummet, and rightly so. What’s the point? Find what you can control about the situation -- there is always something -- and take complete ownership of that. Your attitude and habits will start to support you better. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The world is a lot of things, but fair isn’t one of them. So, when you see the chance to right an inequity, you’ll seize it, wanting to make any difference you are able to. These opportunities don’t come along every day, but this week you’ll get involved in a way that helps you keep up a trend of improvement. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Robert Louis Stevenson wrote that idleness “does not consist of doing nothing, but in doing a great deal unrecognized in the dogmatic formularies of the ruling class, has a good right to state its position as industry itself.” No one but you can decide what’s a worthwhile endeavor for work or fun. Defend your focus. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The competition will be stiff. Don’t play this like you’re trying to win first place; play it like you know you’re not going to win. Give the judges something to remember. You’re undeniably original so you don’t have to make up anything new. You just have to not cover up what you already have. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Speak up when it’s your turn. It doesn’t matter whether or not you have anything to say. Anything will be better to say than nothing. Your heart is in the right place, and because of this your self-expression, whether eloquent or not, it will strike a chord in the hearts of others and move the action in a loving direction. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It will be necessary and natural to compare yourself to others if only because you won’t know what to do until you see your options reflected in humanity. Just don’t compare yourself to everyone or life gets confusing. Narrow your group down to the people you wish to be more like. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People who won’t join the race present an insult and a disenchantment to those who are already running. Be purposeful in your choice of activity. Choose, and then follow through. If you decide to join, go all-in. If not, stay away from the joiners so as not to upset them or accidentally add to their attendance numbers. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Adding new people to your circle will be favored as long as you’re not doing so to avoid problems with the old people. Resolving conflict is an important part of being in relationships. Mercy, tolerance and humility can be unpleasant to experience, which is why they are counted among the most divine qualities. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). In literature, small happenings and scene descriptions often foreshadow significant story-defining moments. In life, anything can be foreshadowing. Who knows? This is a week to avoid superstition. Believe it’s going your way. There are no hidden problems or twists to watch out for, just straightforward luck. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There’s nothing exciting about prevention. To mitigate potential losses before they are even a risk is the ultimate adulting move. If you go in for this high level of responsible living, at least make sure your efforts bring you some joy in the moment of execution. That sense of satisfaction may be all they are worth. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Ask for the favor upfront. If you give a lot of compliments first, your future kindnesses will be met with skepticism. Make it easy for people to say no. A fast rejection is better than waiting around for a light that never turns green. By the end of the week, one way or another, your needs will be met.

National Library Card Sign Up Month

assau County Executive Laura Curran was recently joined by library officials and local elected officials to encourage residents to get library carded. The message comes to promote National Library Card Sign Up Month in September and was echoed by Senator Kevin Thomas, Assemblywoman Taylor Darling and Minority Leader Kevan Abrahams. Fewer residents, especially young people, are utilizing public libraries—missing out on the modern enhancements and benefits that Nassau County now libraries offer. “A library card is your passport to entire worlds of information, entertainment, and enrichment,” said Curran. “Forget what you know about libraries—they are no longer just about books—they offer so many free services, rentals, NORTH SHORE ANIMAL LEAGUE AMERICA’S NATIONAL

educational tools, workshops and so much more. Get carded today.” Nassau County’s 54 libraries, which are partially funded by Nassau County tax dollars, offer countless resources beyond the almost six million book, video, digital and audio rentals available to card holders. The call to sign up for a library membership also comes as schools start up and libraries and public officials look to remind young residents of all the benefits that are available especially to them—and constantly evolving to fit with the needs of their users. “The value of your library card increases every day, as Nassau’s 54 public libraries bring in new technologies and services to serve our communities—like e-books, 3D printers, passes to museums and parks, video streaming services, cultural events, online tutoring and so much more,” said Nassau Library System Director Caroline Ashby. “Local libraries are integral to our communities. Library membership opens a world of opportunity for success and lifelong learning. For students, a library card is the most important back-to-school supply of all,” said Thomas. “I encourage everyone to stop by their local library this month, get a library card, and take advantage of all the great

resources our libraries have to offer.” “September is National Library Card sign-up month, and it’s a great month to start this program, when the children are back in school and ready to learn,” said Darling. “I encourage everyone in our district to get a library card and use all the resources our wonderful libraries throughout Nassau County have to offer.” “As a new school year begins, this program offers families and children a great opportunity to take advantage of everything our local libraries have to offer,” said Abrahams. “Our libraries offer more than books, they offer educational and cultural programs, book clubs, and access to computers.” “A library card opens a world of possibilities for children families, and this month is the perfect time to get one,” said Supervisor Laura Gillen. “Signing up for a library card is an important step in a child’s life and one that comes with a unique sense of independence and exploration. I’d like to thank County Executive Laura Curran and all of our hardworking librarians for their support of this important initiative.” For a list of all libraries in Nassau County visit www.nassaulibrary.org. —Nassau County

SISTERHOOD from page 6A Sterling K. Brown, said the film and its new adaptation offer audiences timeless themes with a few modern twists, including some Instagram posts. “You’d be surprised how things know no time, they’re timeless, like the theme of how do I get my life back on track when I have just taken my eye off the ball and focused on things that do not bring me joy and never will bring me joy and I stop focusing on what makes me happy,” said Bathe. “That’s a question that, I don’t care if it’s 1986 or 1996 or 2016 or 2026, that’s always going to be an important question,

what happens when I stop putting myself first and I put myself last? Maybe you don’t put yourself first, but can you put yourself third?” First Wives Club, which filmed some of its scenes on Long Island, is somewhat of a homecoming for Bathe, who said she grew up “up and down the eastern seaboard,” will premiere on BET+ on Sept. 19. “We’re very excited about this venture BET is embarking on, we’re super thrilled for the world to meet Ari, Bree and Hazel,” Bathe said. “Fortunately, it’s streaming so you can take it down all at once or not.”

We Got The Beet

h, the humble beetroot. If you have never tried a beet before, you are most definitely missing out. Aside from the post-bathroom shock of red toilet water (unless you’re eating a white or golden beet, which puts you in the clear), you will find that beets are a delicious and easy way to incorporate some major health benefits into your diet. Beets pack in a plenty of nutrients and vitamin C in very few calories while fighting chronic inflammation that is associated with a number of diseases, such as obesity, heart disease, liver disease and cancer. And you won’t turn beet red as the root vegetable keeps your blood pressure in check. Did you know that the beet is a favorite among athletes as well? Mainly because several studies suggest that dietary nitrates found in beets may enhance athletic performance. Beets have also been known to improve digestive health and support brain health, especially as our mental and cognitive health declines with age. You can consume beets in their natural form, simply by boiling, roasting or steaming them, but you can also get creative and pickle them or turn them into fine dining entrées. Gnocchi, ravioli,

The taproot portion of a beet plant, beets are harvested all summer through late fall.

salads, juices, gazpacho, Borscht, chips and beet dip are some of the many ways you can have fun in the kitchen. But beware: preparing a beet is messy and can look like a bloodbath, so avoid wearing any clothes you don’t want to chance with a stain. To avoid artificial forms of red dyes in food and

crafts, turn to the beet. The red color compound, Betanin, is obtained from the roots and has been used to improve the color and flavor of sauces, desserts, jams and jellies and candy. With so many benefits and varieties to enjoy, this simple root veggie just can’t be beet.

Beet and Goat Cheese Salad with Pistachios Serves 2

The beets bring the meaty sweetness, the goat cheese cuts said sweetness with a creamy and tangy bite and the pistachios drive it home with a salty crunch. The perfect summer or fall salad or over a bed of greens like spinach or arugula, just some olive oil, salt and pepper is all that is needed to let the beets shine in this dish. 3 medium beets, cooked and quartered ⅓ cup pistachios (or almonds or walnuts), roughly chopped 4 oz. soft fresh goat cheese, crumbled 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 2 cups salad greens, optional Salt and pepper to taste 1. Line a baking sheet with foil. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. 2. Toss the beets in a bowl with olive oil and a dash of salt and pepper and let sit for a few minutes. Place the beets on the prepared baking sheet and roast until slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Set aside and cool. 3. Once cooled, plate the beets, sprinkle with goat cheese, pistachios and a drizzle of olive oil and serve. *If plating with salad, add your own vinaigrette and additional toppings like avocado, walnuts or dried cranberries, as desired.

Mets Miracle Helped Heal All Of America

By JoSePH WolKiN

JWolKin@antonmediagroup.com

aseball is more than just a stick-and-ball sport. It’s known as America’s pastime for a reason. Baseball brings people together. While many fans prefer sports to be apolitical and not about anything other than the game itself, this was impossible in the days and weeks after the 9/11 attacks. A spark was needed in order to bring back some sort of normalcy to the lives of New Yorkers, and on Sept. 21, 2001, the New York Mets offered the first opportunity to do just that. The Mets were scheduled to face the division rival Atlanta Braves 10 days after tragedy struck America. This would be the first professional sporting event in New York City since the tragedy. “It was the most security and law enforcement personnel not just at a baseball game, but anywhere,” Todd Zeile, the first baseman for the 2001 Mets, told Long Island Weekly. “It was a very uneasy time. A sporting event in New York City was the first thing that could be looked at as another target.” In the days after the Twin Towers fell, Shea Stadium became one of the main areas for volunteers, first responders and supplies to travel into Manhattan. Bobby Valentine, manager of the Mets at the time, sprung into action, as did Brooklyn native and veteran pitcher John Franco. Several Mets also joined the cause, heading downtown not only to thank the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives, but to help. “We visited firefighters, families of victims to see what baseball, the Mets or some feeling of normalcy meant to the people who were experiencing this on a direct basis,” said Zeile, who was one of seven Mets to visit Ground Zero, joined by Valentine, Franco, John Stearns, Al Leiter, Robin Ventura and Mike Piazza. They had an emotional exchange

with the first responders, trading the Mets’ black, blue and orange caps with ones from the American heroes. “I suggested to the guys that it would be a great tribute to the city, the first responders and the victims if we wore their hats,” Zeile said. “I got hats from the NYPD, FDNY and the Port Authority, and we dispersed them to the team.” Though MLB Commissioner Bud Selig, who retired in 2015, canceled games throughout the week after 9/11, baseball restarted as life began to feel slightly normal again on Sept. 17. The Mets weren’t home yet, though, playing a series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, delaying the return to Shea until what would become the most emotional Friday evening in American sports history. “We had one of the most emotional bus rides I’ve ever been part of,” Zeile said. “We came across the George Washington Bridge on the way to New York City. We could see the lights in the air and the smoke billowing from

where the towers once stood.” The Mets wore the caps when they returned to Pittsburgh as baseball resumed. The tribute, they thought, should continue at Shea Stadium. However, Selig’s office sent a controversial letter to Zeile, the team’s Major League Baseball Players Association representative. “I personally received a memo from the league office, saying we were not allowed to wear the hats and that it’s a violation of Major League Baseball’s uniform code,” Zeile explained. “Bud Selig was going to have to come down here and rip them off our heads if he thinks we’re not going to wear them.” The players were undeterred, wearing FDNY and NYPD caps for the rest of the 2001 season, and they still do on each anniversary, showing the healing continues to this day. After the Sept. 21 matchup, there was so much backlash from fans and New Yorkers over the caps that the league office gave the Mets permission to continue the bond they created with the first responders.

“The pregame ceremonies with the families and first responders on the field was the most emotional thing any of us have ever been apart of,” Zeile said. “This moment was bigger than baseball.” The ballgame was just as enticing, a late-season matchup between NL East rivals. Bruce Chen, who started his career with the Braves, was on the mound for the Mets, facing Manhasset-born Jason Marquis. Marquis had quite the emotional week, losing longtime friend, firefighter Michael Cammarata, in the terrorist attacks. Both pitchers tossed gems. The Mets only scored once against Marquis in six innings. “We kind of plugged along during that game,” Zeile, who hit a double to left field in the fourth inning, said. The game remained tied at 1 until the eighth inning, when Braves right fielder Brian Jordan hit a double off Mets reliever Armando Benitez. It was 2-1 Braves as Steve Karsay, a Queens native, took over pitching duties for the Mets’ division rivals. Second baseman Edgardo Alfonzo came up to the plate and Karsay walked him. As Karsay delivered the pitch, star catcher Mike Piazza was dialed in. The ball made contact with the upper part of No. 31’s bat and left the ballpark, turning Shea Stadium into one of the craziest scenes in baseball history. It was impossible to hit a more poetic home run. “When it left his bat and he posed for a second, as he does, we were shaking our heads in disbelief,” Zeile recalled. The Mets began the healing process for all of New York. Eighteen years later, it’s hard not to look back at this moment and how it impacted all of America. “The national pastime came back with an exclamation point,” Zeile said.
