Four Tracks With Daryl Hall BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
A
s half of one of the best-selling musical duos of all time, Daryl Hall is often looked at as one of the best R&B singers of his generation. Having earned his bones in Philadelphia’s fertile music scene of the mid- to late-1960s, Hall and partner John Oates have created an indelible brand of blue-eyed soul that has racked up 40 million-plus records sold throughout a career that dates back to 1970. Here are a few facts you might not know about the Pennsylvania native.
1
Music Is In His Blood Hall’s earliest musical memories included listening to a phonograph when he was two in addition to tagging along with his mother, who regularly performed with a band. “My family is very musical. My mother was in a band. One of my earliest memories was watching my mother on stage playing with the band she was with. I always wanted to be the guy in the white coat that was the band leader.”

2
He Is An Avid Do-It-Yourselfer Hall has always loved working on old homes and has indulged in his passion by renovating a handful of houses in New York, Connecticut and London. “I’ve been doing that for years. I like antique architecture, especially early architecture. The first one I did was the house that John [Oates] and I lived in when we were out of school in Philadelphia. And then I’ve done
them in Upstate New York, Connecticut, two in London—so I’ve done a lot of them. I had a show [on the DIY Network] called Restoration Over-Hall. So I let people see what’s it like to restore a Colonial house.”
3
Live From Daryl’s House Started As A Respite From Touring The online show/webcast that has recorded 82 episodes through December 2016 since debuting in fall 2007 was meant to give Hall a break from the rigors of the road. Guests have included Joe Walsh, Cheap Trick, Jason Mraz, CeeLo Green, Darius Rucker, The O’Jays and Aloe Blacc. “I just wanted to do something that was the opposite of what I’d been doing. So instead of traveling around everywhere in the world, I decided to bring the world to the closest place I could think of, which is my house.”
4
Session Man The Philly native was a working musician with his own group called the Temptones. He also did a fair share of session work with Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff and Thom Bell, architects of the Philly soul sound. “I was around it all. I wasn’t on the A Team, because I was a little young. But I used to play with the MFSB band as well as on records by the Delfonics, Stylistics, the Intruders, Bunny Sigler and Len Barry.” Daryl Hall & John Oates will be appearing with Tear for Fears on June 16 at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium, 1 Tennis Place, Forest Hills.

Bigelow’s famous fried Ipswich clams
Full Belly Clam BY STEVE MOSCO SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
R
olling along traffic-choked Sunrise Highway in Rockville Centre, you don’t expect to see many eateries from the 1930s—and even though Long Beach is a mere five miles south, you certainly don’t expect a bona fide clam shack to thrive on the busy thoroughfare. But there at 79 N. Long Beach Rd., sits Bigelow’s. A New Englandstyle, blue-and-white fry house established in 1939, Bigelow’s isn’t a nautical-themed restaurant—it is nautical. Emphatically of the sea from the food to the décor, Bigelow’s gives eaters the sense that they are standing on the bow of a ship, corn-cob pipe protruding from a bearded face, with a fisherman’s cable-knit sweater protecting from the elements and a wisp of ocean on the lips. The half-circle lunch counter, which faces Bigelow’s fryers, can get crowded at peak times, with customers ordering Ipswich clams, fried smelt, scallops, cod, oysters and Bigelow’s inimitable seafood bisque and clam
chowders (which deserve their own article)—but no matter the bustle in the restaurant, a silent reverence presides over each eater when the food arrives. It is a truly singular fried seafood experience. This is perhaps most evident with Bigelow’s famous Ipswich clams— fried, whole belly clams boasting a flavor depth many-fathoms deeper than that of fried clam strips—much more reminiscent of oysters in terms of flavor and texture. With Ipswich, you get two parts to the clam: There’s the thin, salty and tender muscle, and the belly, which is the intense, briny, soft part straight from the seabed, with a touch of sweetness and saltiness throughout every creamy, yet firm, bite. Named after Ipswich, MA, but not necessarily from Ipswich, MA, these clams are the same ones used in steamer pots and are often referred to as soft-shell clams even though the shell is about as hard as any other clam shell. Bigelow’s has kept the same recipe for these beauties since the restaurant opened nearly 80 years ago. The cornmeal-based batter is
never greasy, as the oil is changed daily, blanketing the delicate soft belly in a crisp coating. With a side of tartar sauce and a slight squeeze of a lemon for brightness, it is the quintessential seafood snack on Long Island. Keeping with the old-school vibe, Bigelow’s is a cash-only business.
An order of Ipswich clams at market price with fries came to $27.15 (tax included), but don’t let the price tag deter—it’s a hefty, fully satisfying dish with a flavor well worth the cost. Bigelow’s New England Fried Clams, 79 N. Long Beach Rd., Rockville Centre, 516-678-3878, www.bigelows-rvc.com

Daryl Hall: Making His Dreams Come True BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO
DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
Ray Charles once asked the rhetorical question, “What is a soul? It’s like electricity—we don’t really know what it is, but it’s a force that can light a room.” If that’s the case, then the argument can be made that Daryl Hall and John Oates were responsible for energizing the charts for a good part of the 1980s thanks to the 34 chart hits the duo landed on Billboard’s US Hot 100 that included six chart-toppers. For Daryl Hall, soul music has always been something he’s gravitated to, growing up in Philadelphia around the time that non-regional labels like Motown and Stax/Volt were emerging. “Local soul singers around me [really resonated], particularly the ones transitioning out of street-corner music. They were influences on me. Outside of Philly, I liked Curtis Mayfield, Wilson Pickett—you name it,” he explained. Fast forward to 2017 and Hall and Oates are out on the road with Tears For Fears, which may seem to be an odd combination at a first glance. But
171246 C
Daryl Hall (left) and John Oates for Hall, the idea of a rock and soul act sharing the bill with a synthpop outfit is far from incongruous, despite the seemingly different fan bases. “The shows have been slightly different because they play a different kind of music than we do,” he said. “But at the same time, I think that their fans certainly relate to what we do. They have a certain kind of timelessness to their music and it’s melodic. I think our fans really relate to that, so it works for me.” As for what fans can expect from the Philly duo alongside requisite self-penned like “Say It Isn’t So,” “Sara Smile” and “Out Of Touch” are covers ranging from Mike Oldfield (“Family Man”) to The Righteous Brothers (“You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’”). Hall is having a blast on the road and part of it may have to do with the live presentation he and Oates are delivering to the delight of both the duo and the audience. “I think what we’ve done that’s a bit different from what we’ve done in the past is make it a little bit more textural. I’m trying to make it more like Live From Daryl’s House. It’s a lot of closeups, so you feel like you’re on stage with the band. We’ve changed up the song structure, so they flow in a slightly different way. I play a grand piano on a few songs, so that changes the mood,” he pointed out. “There are a lot of little mood changes in the show. It’s not just
us going out there and playing wham, wham, wham—one song after the other. There’s a bit of nuance involved and everybody seems to like it and we like doing it, so that’s good.” As if being one half of Hall & Oates isn’t enough, the septuagenerian singer-songwriter has kept busy with his passion for home restoration and recording an unnamed solo record along with work on the aforementioned Live From Daryl’s House, his online webshow/podcast that’s been getting television airtime since 2011. With a premise that finds him performing with his band and various guest artists, Hall has managed to bring fans back to the basics of creating music and presenting it in a live setting minus the bells and whistles that give so much contemporary music a prefabricated vibe. As the consummate music fan, Hall has had a wide array of musicians drop by his show including Cheap Trick, Shelby Lynne, ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons, the late Sharon Jones, Toots and the Maytals, Smokey Robinson, Nick Lowe and Elle King. Given the fact that oftentimes he doesn’t know many of these performers before they appear on camera together, this winds up being another factor that adds to the spontaneity inherent to the show. I just wanted to do something that was the opposite of what I’d been doing [on the road]. Well, there’d be no audience and that makes people react differently, when there’s nobody watching other than the millions of people that watch the show,” he said with a laugh. “As far as being in the room, it creates an informal situation that you can’t create if you’re going to be on stage. It was that and I really wanted the audience to feel like a fly on the wall. I wanted it to be a natural experience and to hear how we create songs. We do it all on camera. We don’t rehearse. You see the rehearsals and we go through these songs very quickly. I like that being-on-your-toes kind of feeling. I never know what’s going to happen with these new guests because a lot of these people, I’ve never met before. In general, the show is a forum to be really excited all the time and I think you can see it on our faces. We’re constantly feeling like what we’re doing is great. Then you add some food to the mix and you have a show.” Daryl Hall & John Oates will be appearing with Tear for Fears on June 16 at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium, 1 Tennis Place, Forest Hills.

Rally For Transgender Civil Rights Urges Legislators To Pass GENDA Law BY KIMBERLY DIJKSTRA KDIJKSTRA@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
An estimated 100-150 Long Island residents marched down Franklin Avenue on Sunday, June 4, from Garden City to the steps of the Theodore Roosevelt Executive and Legislative Building in Mineola, in support of transgender civil rights. At the 4th Annual March and Rally for Transgender Civil Rights, members and allies of the LGBT community were joined by elected officials to urge legislators to pass the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act (GENDA), which would add gender identity and expression as a protected class to New York’s existing human rights and hate crimes laws. Marchers held high signs with messages “Trans Lives Matter,” “Pass GENDA Now,” “Nassau, It’s Time” and “Accept Diversity” as they made their way to the rallying point. Passing cars honked their horns to show their support along the route. District 5 Legislator, and candidate for County Executive, Laura Curran spoke at the meeting place for the

Advocacy Coalition, organized the event to fight for justice and equality for the transgender and gender non-conforming community. “Nassau County remains the largest county in New York State to not have explicit laws protecting the transgender community,” she said. “Legal experts versed in trans rights warn that the county law is too general and could be misused or misinterpreted.” Grey-Owens implored legislators to “make sure all Nassau County citizens are completely and unquestionably secure and safe from transphobic discrimination” and “take care of our most vulnerable citizens.” She continued, “New Yorkers pride themselves about living in a state whose history is based on justice and equality. The women’s movement was started here. Important labor laws were formed here. Important civil rights works began in New York State.” The New York State Assembly has passed GENDA ten years in a row and it has the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo, but the state senate has never brought the bill to the floor for a vote. Grey-Owens named Long Island state senators Elaine Philips and John Flanagan as two individuals who have the power to move the GENDA bill forward. Joanne Borden, a transgender woman and trans rights activist, spoke of her years-long fight with the Republican legislature for transgender civil rights. “With the pressure from you here today, we are starting to win. We must keep up that pressure and never settle for a limitation on our equality,” she said. “Partial equality is no equality at all.” District 16 Legislator Arnold Drucker
spoke of times in history when laws were needed to enact a progressive change in society: “More than 150 years ago, we needed the abolishment of slavery to be the law of the land. Almost 100 years ago, we needed to pass the 19th amendment to grant women the right to vote. Almost 70 years ago, we needed the Supreme Court to end segregation. In 1964, we needed Congress to pass a comprehensive civil rights act. Just two years ago, the Supreme Court declared same-sex marriage to be constitutional.” Drucker continued, “Transgender people are just like all other citizens and lawful residents in this country… They are entitled to the same fundamental rights and equal protection under the law when it comes to housing, employment and public services.” LGBT Youth Services Coordinator Aiden Kaplan said, “We’re here not only to fight for our rights, but to celebrate our community. Pay attention to the young faces beside you. It is our job as older members of our community and as legislators to stand up and fight for and protect these young individuals who are with us.” One such young individual took the microphone next. Logan, who identifies as a transgender male, said he worried every day that someone would try to hurt him at school “just because I am who I am.” Speeches continued though rain began falling and the rally ended with as much enthusiasm as it began. New York City, Albany, Binghamton, Buffalo, Ithaca, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, Suffolk, Tompkins and Westchester Counties have already passed GENDA-like laws. Nassau County remains the largest county in New York without laws that protect transgender individuals from discrimination. The Long Island Transgender Advocacy Coalition is planning a similar march on Senator Flanagan’s Smithtown office on Saturday, June 24.

He was appointed to the NCPD’s highest position by Ed Mangano in 2014, and will be succeeded by Deputy Commissioner Patrick Ryder. “Commissioner Krumpter has led the Nassau County Police Department with honor and distinction during a challenging time for law enforcement—not only here in Nassau County but throughout the nation,” said Mangano in a statement. “From the fiscal constraints demanded by homeowners to balancing public safety and the war on heroin and terror, Commissioner Krumpter has streamlined back office operations to protect taxpayers while maintaining the number of police officers assigned to patrol and bolstering special units.” As a member of the NCPD for 25 years, Krumpter has served as both deputy chief in the Office of the Commissioner of Police and as the department’s legislative liaison, and was named first deputy commissioner in December of 2011. Prior to serving as first deputy commissioner, he served as acting commissioner from February to December 2011 following the retirement of former Commissioner Lawrence Mulvey. As a patrol officer and supervisor, Krumpter spent time in the Fifth and Sixth Precincts. He was quickly awarded significant leadership positions in essential administrative units of the department, which included serving as deputy commanding officer of the Legal Bureau and later, as commanding officer of the Personnel and Accounting Bureau. Krumpter is a graduate of the 223rd class of the FBI National Academy, a professional course of study for U.S. and international law enforcement leaders that serves to improve the administration of justice in police departments and agencies and to raise law enforcement standards, knowledge, and cooperation worldwide. He is also a graduate of the Police Executive Research Forum’s Senior Management Institute for Police, a demanding course that provides senior police executives with intensive training in

Thomas Krumpter the latest management concepts and practices used in business. Krumpter received a BS in accounting from the State University of New York at Old Westbury and holds a MS in criminal justice from the University of Cincinnati. Prior to joining the NCPD, Krumpter served as a police officer with the New York City Housing Authority Police Department for three years, beginning in 1989. He served in the United States Marine Corps Reserve from 1985 to 2003. He is also NCPD legacy; his father Tom was a long-serving member who retired with the rank of sergeant. “I am grateful for Commissioner Tom Krumpter’s dedicated leadership of our outstanding police force and it’s been a great privilege to work with him to keep the people of Nassau County safe,” said District Attorney Madeline Singas said. “All of us in the District Attorney’s office wish him the very best in his retirement.” Krumpter’s retirement is effective July 20.

Tapwrit Surges Past Favored Irish War Cry To Win Belmont Stakes BY JENNY KELLNER
EDITORIAL @ ANTONMEDIAGROUP . COM
Tapwrit handed trainer Todd Pletcher a third career victory in the Grade 1, $1.5 million Belmont Stakes presented by NYRA Bets. The horse took aim on front-running favorite Irish War Cry at the top of the stretch and then surging into the lead in the final yards to win Saturday’s 149th edition of the “Test of the Champion” at Belmont Park by two lengths. Expertly handled by Jose Ortiz, whose older brother, Irad Ortiz, Jr. won last year’s Belmont aboard Creator, Tapwrit enjoyed a ground-saving trip in third as jockey Rajiv Maragh sent Irish War Cry through moderate fractions of 23.88 seconds for the opening quarter-mile, with the half going in 48.66, three quarters in 1:14.01, a mile in 1:38.95 and 1 ¼ miles in 2:04.10. Irish War Cry appeared to have the race in hand turning for home and held a length advantage over

Tapwrit in upper stretch, but under left-handed urging from Ortiz, Tapwrit kicked into high gear to wrest control with 100 yards left

What Is Prostate Cancer?
Cancer starts when cells in the body begin to grow out of control. Cells in nearly any part of the body can become cancer cells, and can spread to other areas of the body. Prostate cancer begins when cells in the prostate gland start to grow uncontrollably. The prostate is a gland found only in males. It makes some of the fluid that is part of semen. The prostate is below the bladder and in front of the rectum. The size of the prostate changes with age. In younger men, it is about the size of a walnut, but it can be much larger in older men. Just behind the prostate are glands called seminal vesicles that make most of the fluid for semen. The urethra, which is the tube that carries urine and semen out of the body through the penis, goes through the center of the prostate.

feet, or even loss of bladder or bowel control from cancer pressing on the spinal cord Most of these problems are more likely to be caused by something other than prostate cancer. For example, trouble urinating is much more often caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous growth of the prostate. Still, it’s important to tell your health care provider if you have any of these symptoms so that the cause can be found and treated, if needed.
Tests for Prostate Cancer
Most prostate cancers are first found during screening with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test or a digital rectal exam (DRE). Early prostate cancers usually don’t cause symptoms, but more advanced cancers are sometimes first found because of the symptoms they cause. If cancer is suspected based on results of screening tests or symptoms, tests will be needed to confirm the diagnosis. The actual diagnosis of prostate cancer can only be made with a prostate biopsy. —Courtesy of the American Cancer Society

Men: Take Charge Of
JUNE IS MEN’S HEALTH MONTH
Your Health The Basics: Overview
Most men need to pay more attention to their health. Compared to women, men are more likely to: • Smoke • Drink alcohol • Make unhealthy or risky choices • Put off regular checkups and medical care The good news is that you can start taking better care of your health today.
How can I take charge of my health? See a doctor for regular checkups even if you feel fine. This is important because some diseases don’t have symptoms at first. Plus, seeing a doctor will give you a chance to learn more about your health. You can also take care of your health by: • Getting screening tests that are right for you • Making sure you are up to date on important shots • Watching out for signs of health problems like diabetes or depression • Eating healthy and getting active
The Basics: Healthy Habits
It’s not too late to start healthier habits. Make eating healthy and being active part of your daily routine. A healthy diet and regular physical activity can help lower your: • Blood pressure • Blood sugar • Cholesterol • Weight
By keeping these numbers down, you can lower your risk of serious health problems like type 2 diabetes and heart disease. You can also help prevent health problems by: • Drinking alcohol only in moderation • Quitting smoking
Take Action: Small Changes
Use these tips to take charge of
your health. Make small changes every day. Small changes can add up to big results like lowering your risk of type 2 diabetes or heart disease. • Take a walk instead of having a cigarette. • Try a green salad instead of fries. • Drink water instead of soda or juice. • Eat less salt. Find more small changes you can make to keep yourself healthy. Talk about it. Don’t be embarrassed to talk about your health. Start by talking to family members to find out which diseases run in your family. Use this family health history tool to keep track of what you learn. Share this information with your doctor.
Take Action: Get Preventive Care
Get preventive care to stay healthy. Many people think of the doctor as someone to see when they are sick. But doctors also provide services—like shots and screening tests—that help keep you from getting sick in the first place.
Get screening tests to find problems early. Screenings are medical tests that doctors use to check for diseases and health conditions before there are any signs or symptoms. Screenings help find problems early, when they may be easier to treat. • Get your blood pressure checked at least once every 2 years. • Talk to your doctor about getting your cholesterol checked. You could have high cholesterol and not know it.
• If you are age 50 to 74, get tested regularly for colorectal cancer. Ask your doctor what type of colorectal cancer screening test is right for you. • If you are a man age 65 to 75 and have ever smoked, talk with your doctor about your risk for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). • If you feel stressed, anxious, or sad, ask your doctor to screen you for depression. Most people with depression feel better when they get treatment. Ask your doctor about taking aspirin every day. If you are age 50 to 59, taking aspirin every day can lower your risk of heart attack and colorectal cancer. Talk with your doctor about whether daily aspirin is right for you. —Courtesy of U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

Woodmere, NY Cardiac arrest
Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD)
PROCEDURE:
I was getting ready for my grandson’s birthday, when all of a sudden I became weak. I thought I was coming down with the flu. Before going to sleep, I called my son and told him that something didn’t feel right. We took no chances and called 911. The paramedics arrived and within minutes, I was in cardiac arrest.
LIFE BEFORE HEART ATTACK:
I woke up a few days later and after many tests the doctors determined that the upper part of my heart wasn’t sending signals to the bottom part to pump blood, and that’s why my heart stopped. I was fitted with an ICD to treat my irregular heartbeat. After the procedure, I’m back to normal, I’m energetic, and I feel great.

WHY CHOOSE SOUTH NASSAU? The entire cardiac team was amazing. No amount of words will ever help me express how thankful I am. They’re my heroes. They’re my angels.

Red, White And Blueberry Crisp It’s blueberry season and I can think of no better way to celebrate the Fourth of July than to make a good old-fashioned gluten-free blueberry crisp. Crisps are every bit as wonderful as pies but when it comes to getting one on the table, they win hands down. No mixing dough, letting it sit in the fridge, and rolling out the crust. They are pure simplicity and a great way to let the flavor of the filling really shine. A crisp is basically fruit covered with a crunchy topping and baked—easy peasy. So if you are looking for a showcase for those fabulous, sweet and juicy blueberries—give this recipe a try. You won’t be sorry. Oh, and by the way—a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of a warm crisp is pure heaven. For the fruit portion of the crisp, I used fresh blueberries as they are in season, but frozen will do just fine in the off-season. Blueberries love a little bit of lemon so I added both the zest and the juice along with some organic sugar and cornstarch to thicken the juices. If you don’t use cornstarch, tapioca starch works just as well. For the topping, I used my own flour blend along with some brown sugar and certified organic oats. You can feel free to substitute sorghum or millet for gluten-free flour if you like. Have a great Fourth of July.

June Is Cataract Awareness Month Prevent Blindness, the nation’s leading volunteer eye health and safety organization, dedicated to fighting blindness and preserving vision, has declared June as Cataract Awareness Month. This month-long awareness event helps raise awareness about cataracts, including educating the public on the signs and symptoms of a cataract and different surgery options available to patients. According to the World Health Organization, cataracts are responsible for over 50 percent of world blindness. Cataracts are a natural result of aging, and more than half of American adults will develop a cataract by the time they reach 80 years of age. A cataract is the clouding of the eye’s lens. The lens is located behind the pupil, and it helps focus images on the retina, which transmits the images to the brain. A cataract blocks or alters the way the light enters the eye and results in images appearing blurry or cloudy.
At Ophthalmic Consultants of Long Island (OCLI), the laser cataract surgeons are committed to early diagnosis and providing the best lens implants based on a patient’s lifestyle. Following a cataract diagnosis, the OCLI laser cataract surgeon will discuss the different lens implants available, and recommend the best implant based on a patient’s lifestyle. After cataract surgery, many patients can see clearly without the use of glasses or contacts. “At OCLI, we are setting the standard in laser cataract surgery. We were the first ophthalmology practice in New York and one of the first practices in the United States to utilize the femtosecond laser for performing cataract removal,” said Eric Donnenfeld, MD, a founding partner of OCLI. “This breakthrough in technology can make the procedure more precise, more predictable, and better than ever before.” Visit www.ocli.net for more information about cataract surgery.

What Is The Low-FODMAP Diet?
Do you frequently develop abdominal pain or discomfort after eating? Has it ever been to the point that it affects your daily life and responsibilities? Your nutrition and lifestyle habits play a role in your gastrointestinal health and symptoms. The Low-FODMAP diet is becoming increasingly popular and has been proven to reduce symptoms in patients with IBS. Researchers at Monash University developed this diet and a corresponding app that provides the FODMAP content of most foods. Below are a few common questions on the low-FODMAP diet and answers from yours truly.
What does FODMAP stand for?
FODMAPs are a group of carbohydrates that are rapidly digested and poorly absorbed in the gut. They stand for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols. These are naturally occurring in certain foods, but also can be added to foods as sweeteners. FODMAPs are known to contribute to excess fluid and gas in the bowels, especially in individuals with IBS.
What is IBS?
IBS stands for irritable bowel syndrome, a chronic condition that affects the large intestine. IBS can cause symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, bloating, distention, diarrhea and constipation.

Trust Your Face to a Specialist
Stefani Pappas RDN, CDN, CPT Although symptoms may be uncomfortable, IBS does not change bowel tissue like Crohn’s disease or Ulcerative Colitis. Some of these symptoms may be common, but avoid self-diagnosing; a medical physician should make the IBS diagnosis. Triggers can vary, but commonly include food, stress and hormones. The low-FODMAP diet produces the most significant results in IBS patients and can contribute to a significant reduction in symptoms, but is not a cure-all.

ANDREW A. JACONO, MD, FACS
CHOOSING HEALTH
The fermentation process involves degrading undigested carbohydrates to produce gases. Oligosaccharides are divided into two groups: fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS). FOS are found in wheat, rye, onions and garlic. GOS are found in legumes. Disaccharides include lactose, found in milk, soft cheese and yogurt. Monosaccharides include fructose found in honey, apples and high fructose corn syrup. Sugar polyols, such as sorbitol and mannitol, are most commonly used as artificial sweeteners.
What high-FODMAP foods seem to bother people the most?
In my experience working with IBS clients, I’ve seen a reoccurring theme of certain foods that are common triggers. These include cow’s milk, beans, garlic, artificial sweeteners and cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower. Conversely, most clients respond well to foods such as bananas, plain protein sources such as fish, chicken and plain gluten-free breads.
Should I start the FODMAP diet if I don’t have IBS?
Unless recommended by your medical physician or registered dietitian, the low-FODMAP diet is not something you should start as it does eliminate a variety of nutritious foods and food groups. If you are experiencing IBS symptoms and are advised to start a Low-FODMAP diet, talk to your registered dietitian who can help make a personalized Low-FODMAP plan and guide you through the process. Visit the Monash University website at www.med.monash.edu/ cecs/gastro/ for more information on the low-FODMAP diet. Stefani Pappas, MS, RDN, CDN, CPT, is a clinical dietitian nutritionist at St. Francis Hospital. She also provides private and group nutrition counseling at her office in Great Neck.

Gut Bacteria And Your Liver The human body plays host to trillions of microorganisms. There is growing realization that the human body is a “super” ecosystem where the host, i.e. the body, lives in harmony with these large number of microbes. Not only does the body live in harmony, but also there is a symbiotic relationship between the microbes and the body which is essential for good health. The biggest populations of microbes live in the gut. Bacteria in the gut are essential in digestion as they help us break down complex molecules in meat and vegetables. The gut microbiota present at birth allow for adaptive immunity. This means that our immune system learns how to respond to bacteria through this initial interaction with gut organisms. Many diseases have been linked to changes in gut microbiota and liver disease is no exception. The liver is the organ with the closest proximity to the gut and therefore is exposed to large numbers of bacteria. Conditions such as alcoholic and non-alcoholic liver disease and primary sclerosing cholangitis have been associated with an altered microbiome. The altered gut microbiome in these conditions may influence the degree of fat, inflammation and fibrosis that develop in the liver. Although not well studied, changes in the colon microbiome have been associated with the development of cirrhosis and one of its complications, hepatic encephalopathy or confusion. Hepatic encephalopathy can be successfully treated with medications such as probiotics or antibiotics that have the ability to change the composition of the gut bacteria to one that is more favorable for less disease. Gut microbiome is a major factor in maintaining the integrity of the intestinal mucosa and therefore regulating absorption into the bloodstream. When the gut microbiome is altered, bacteria can enter the bloodstream and make their way to the liver. In the liver, inflammatory components are then stimulated and these may result in liver inflammation and fibrosis. Additionally, the bacteria in the blood can result in sepsis as well as peritonitis, especially in people with liver disease. The best-studied effects of gut bacteria are in the development and treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Gut bacteria have been shown to be able to react with specific liver receptors and increase inflammatory markers leading to liver inflammation, insulin resistance and diabetes. Treatment with probiotics has been shown to decrease fat in

the liver as well as decrease serum triglycerides and VLDL levels. We are still learning about the effects of altered gut bacteria and
systemic disease, including liver disease. It makes sense that altering the natural relationship between humans and bacteria can lead to disease. There is a growing body of evidence implicating the microbiome in the development of liver disease. More studies are needed in different clinical situations to manipulate the microbiota by various strategies including prebiotics, new probiotics and/or antibiotics. We need to establish in the future how manipulation of the
JUNE IS MEN’S HEALTH MONTH
gut microbiota might prove beneficial for the treatment of patients with various liver diseases at either early or later disease stages. This should prove to be very exciting and rewarding and hopefully will attract physicians to investigate all these possibilities.

Why You Need An Eye Exam
Think of how much you rely on your eyesight. Because it’s the sense you rely on the most each and every day, it’s important to keep your eyes healthy and sharp so that you can enjoy your vision for the rest of your life. The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends that adults, with no signs or risk factors for eye disease, get a baseline eye disease screening at age 40. This is the time when early signs of vision changes and disease often start. It’s likely that you undergo regular vision screenings every year or so, particularly if you wear corrective lenses. “While vision screening is ideal for identifying vision problems,” says Dr. Anne Sara Steiner, MD, director of the Northwell Health Ocular Service Center, “it cannot take the place of a comprehensive eye examination designed to identify even the earliest stages of eye disease.” While a typical vision exam is relatively short and
focused on vision correction, a comprehensive eye examination is far more detailed and thorough. During this type of exam, which can take up to two hours, you will undergo: • A complete health and medication history and vision history • An eye health evaluation
• Visual acuity testing to determine sharpness and clarity of both near and distance vision • Visual field testing to determine your level of peripheral vision • Evaluation of pupil size and pupillary responses • Evaluation of eye movement
Using a device called a slit lamp, the front part of your eyes, as well as your eyelids, will be checked. Due in large part to our increasing use of electronic devices, dry eye has become a very common problem. If you experience frequent burning, itching or redness or have sensitivity to light, make

sure to mention this to your doctor. Signs of dry eye will be identified during the exam, and there are effective preventive strategies and treatments for it. You will also undergo an exam through dilated pupils which looks at the back of the eye, including the retina, macula and the optic nerve for signs of disease. During this part of the exam, drops are placed in each eye to widen the pupil and allow more light to enter the eye. Sight-threatening eye diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma, can be identified. With each part of the exam, your doctor will build a complete picture of your eye health and will work with you to make the best decisions on any treatment necessary, as well as preventive care and the suggested schedule for follow-up exams. Call the Katz Institute at 855-850-5494 for more information about eye health.

Patients Thank First Responders Who Gave Them Second Chance At Life The arrival of paramedics and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) often occurs during times of great anxiety and crisis. But, during a luncheon held recently to honor EMS personnel from Northwell Health, smiles and handshakes replaced the looks of concern that frequently greet EMTs as several patients and their loved ones gathered to thank the heroic professionals who saved their lives. First established by President Gerald Ford in 1973 to acknowledge the achievements of EMS agencies, EMS Week serves to remind the public of the vital contribution made by EMTs, paramedics, critical care medics and communications specialists. In recognition of this event, Northwell Health’s Center for Emergency Medical Services (CEMS) held a Second Chance Luncheon May 25 to bring together grateful patients whose lives were saved by various “pre-hospital care providers.” “Being an EMS worker is a tough job,” said Gene Tangney, senior vice president and chief administrative officer at Northwell Health, who recalled his early days as an EMT in Queens. “It requires a special type of person who chooses

Evolution Through Mentorship
Do you have a mentor in your life? Chances are whether you realize it or not, you do. Mentorship has the potential to be one of the single most important relationships to help you move on your goals and make your dreams a reality. The official definition of mentorship is as follows: “The guidance provided by a mentor, especially an experienced person in a company or educational institution.” I would like to further this definition by including books, lectures and other sources of inspiration as mentors in our lives. We do not need to formally meet someone in order to be mentored by them. Often we find inspiration through individuals that we have never even been in the same room with. With the plethora of information available to us in this fascinating age of technology, finding our own unique source of inspiration is at our fingertips and the opportunities for true mentorship are endless.
Experiment
Don’t be afraid to experiment with different sources to help you move on what you want to create more of in your life. By listening to podcasts, reading books and speaking to a variety of people whose work you respect, you will be learning from individuals
JUNE IS MEN’S HEALTH MONTH
LIFE EVOLUTIONS Melody Pourmoradi with many different points of view. No one person has all the answers so by spreading the love, you will in essence be focusing your efforts on building strong networks of relationships and an abundance of wisdom to call on. One of my greatest sources for education is YouTube. There each day I find unique podcasts that heighten my knowledge base and move me to create my own body of work. Where will your next source of mentorship come from?
Look to your Peers
We often think that mentors should be people that are more “evolved” or more educated than us in some way. I invite you to also look beside you when you are seeking someone to look up to. Often our colleagues and our peers have a better understanding of where we are at in our life or in our business
and can be a solid source of guidance with a unique point of view. You and your peers may have different strengths and can come together to mutually benefit one another’s missions. Some of my greatest advisors and sounding boards are my friends and other people who share an aligned vision. Which one of your friends or colleagues can you exchange mentorship with?
Take Action
Action is indeed the foundational key to all success. If mentorship in any of its forms is going to work at all, we
need to be prepared to move on all of the new knowledge and inspiration that we have acquired. All of the information in the world cannot serve us if we are not willing to act, to take one small idea and transform it in a way that is meaningful for us. What step are you prepared to take in evolving from the new found guidance in your life?

Newly adopted pets will be spayed/neutered and receive age-appropriate vaccinations and microchipping, free of charge. “The Town of Hempstead is committed to finding permanent homes for all of our shelter’s great dogs and cats,” said Town Supervisor Anthony Santino. “We encourage residents to take advantage of free adoptions during the ‘Summer of Love,’ at the Meet Harlow town shelter.” (#32004792), a female The town has also partnered with three local terrier/pit bull mix who businesses that have been dedicated supporters is approximately three of pet adoptions at the town’s animal shelter.

Ra And Furry Friends Come Together At Animal Advocacy Day
Forever Homes Needed: Adopt Today Jewel #160730
Jewel was found in early November when we received a call that a dog was tied to a tree in the Massapequa Preserve. Upon arriving at the shelter, it was clear Jewel had recently had a litter of puppies. Apparently now she was of no use to whoever previously owned her. This beautiful and happy girl is now spayed and she has received all of her vaccines and is in great health. Jewel needs a home without cats or small dogs.
Marbles #170076
Marbles came to the shelter in early March. He was found by an employee of a local animal hospital in their parking lot. This young male was named Marbles because he is a happy-go-lucky, goof ball. He loves attention and his favorite thing to do is to go on walks. Whenever he sees that leash, you can see his eyes light up. Since arriving to us, Marbles is up to date on all vaccines, neutered and microchipped. All he needs is family.
Dante #170106
Dante is a two-year-old, male, American Staffordshire Terrier that was left behind when his owners moved and left him to fend for himself. He looks like a big boy in his picture, but pictures can be deceiving. Dante is short and stocky and weighs in at only 44 pounds. Since becoming a part of our shelter family, Dante has shown that he likes to run, play and is enjoying having people who now care about him.
Turbo #170207
Assemblyman Ed Ra was joined by his wife Laura and their dog Carter last week at the State Legislature’s Animal Advocacy Day in Albany. The event is meant to raise awareness surrounding animal abuse and mistreatment and ensure better protections for animals living in adoption centers and shelters as well as those who are homeless. The annual event offers legislators, staff and local media an opportunity to visit with pets from around the state and push for legislation to protect them.
My name is Turbo and I was brought to the shelter as a stray. I was found in Syosset. I am approximately four years old, weighing 68 pounds and these very nice people here at the
shelter gave me the cute name Turbo. Taking walks is awesome and I know we will both love doing that together. I am up to date on my vaccines, neutered, and microchipped so I will never get lost without hope of finding my owner ever again. If you have a dog, a meet and greet is required.
Baby Huey #170159
This gentle giant is a four-yearold, male pit bull. He is a very sweet and lovable dog. Huey is excellent when walking on the leash. He loves to play with toys, and interacting with people. Huey weighs 73 pounds and was found as a stray. Since coming to the shelter, Huey is up to date on all his vaccines, microchipped and neutered. He would really be a wonderful addition to anyone who loves a big mush.
Amoroso #170217
Amoroso is a five-year-old, male/neutered domestic short hair. His owner was no longer able to care for him so he is now waiting for the next chapter in his life to start with his new family. Amoroso is so very sweet. This nine pound boy sings and talks for attention. Amoroso means “love” and a more fitting name could not have been chosen for this guy. These pets can be adopted at the Town of Oyster Bay Animal Shelter, 150 Miller Place, in Syosset. Hours of operations are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Saturday, June 24, 2017 10 AM - 1 PM Irish War Cry still had a little something left, but the last sixteenth, he dug down deep.” Tapwrit’s winning time for 1½ miles was 2:30.02. It was the second victory in five starts this year for the gray son of Tapit, who took the Grade 2 Tampa Bay Derby in March in impressive fashion, but subsequently finished fifth in the Grade 2 Blue Grass and then sixth in the Grade 1 Kentucky Derby. Pletcher held the colt out of the Preakness race, the second leg of racing’s Triple Crown, a move that resulted in Tapwrit becoming the fourth Belmont winner in the past six years to take that path to ultimate victory. “[Belmont Park] is our home base and I think that’s always an advantage,” said Pletcher, who won the Belmont in 2007 with the filly Rags to Riches and in 2013 with Palace Malice. He was also narrowly beaten with Destin in last year’s edition of the world-renowned race. “We felt like with the five weeks in between, and with the way this horse had trained, that he had a legitimate chance.” Irish War Cry held on to finish 5¾ lengths head of Patch—also trained by Pletcher—with Gormley along for the fourth spot in the race at Belmont. “It actually wasn’t our plan to be on the lead,” said Graham Motion, trainer of the surpassed favorite horse.
“We kind of hoped that somebody else would go for it, but he had to go to Plan B and Rajiv did a great job. At the eighth pole I thought we might be home free, but it’s the Belmont. It’s a tough race.” Sent off as the 5-1 second choice in the field of 11, Tapwrit returned $12.60 for a $2 win bet. He earned $800,000 for his owners, Bridlewood Farm, Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners and Robert LaPenta, and with a record of 4-1-0 from eight starts, has earned $1,143,902, almost as much as his purchase price of $1.2 million at the 2015 Fasig-Tipton yearling sales in Saratoga Springs, New York. “It’s an unbelievable feeling that I can’t explain,” said Ortiz, the leading rider on the New York Racing Association circuit in 2016. “The distance, I was sure he could handle it. It was a great training job by Todd,” he continued. “I always liked him and we always had a lot of faith in him. Today he showed up. I’m very happy.” Completing the order of finish were Senior Investment, Twisted Tom, Looking At Lee—the only horse to have competed in all three legs of racing’s Triple Crown— Meantime, J Boys Echo, Multiplier, and Hollywood Handsome, who was eased. Epicharis was scratched Saturday morning due to continuing inflammation in his right front hoof.

Operation Cookie Ships A Taste Of Home To Troops Girl Scouts of Nassau County (GSNC) announced that, through its partnership with DHL Express, it has sent more than 71,000 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies to U.S. military personnel stationed overseas as part of the 12th annual Operation Cookie Program. To conclude the distribution, the partners recently held an event at the Museum of American Armor in Old Bethpage to mark the final shipment of Girl Scout Cookies for the 2017 season and send the last boxes overseas. “Since World War I, there has been a rich history of Girl Scouts taking action to bring comfort to those who have served our country. Operation Cookie continues this history of caring for our Armed Forces,” said Donna Ceravolo, executive director and CEO of GSNC. “Operation Cookie would not be possible without the generosity of the people of Nassau County. Their support for this initiative, along with their patriotism and caring, made Operation Cookie a success once again this year.” Since 2005, Operation Cookie has been made possible by the help of members of the community who purchase extra boxes and cases of Girl Scout Cookies. Through their ongoing partnership, GSNC and DHL have shipped more than
691,000 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies to American servicemen and women overseas in places like Afghanistan, Philippines, Iraq, Djibouti, South Korea, Kuwait, Bahrain and Japan. Deliveries are also made to military bases across the U.S., including many local units in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Deliveries also go to those who serve locally, such as the men and women of the Coast Guard stationed at Jones Beach, the U.S. Marines base in Garden City and the Midshipmen at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.
“Operation Cookie has been a rewarding way for us to work with Girl Scouts of Nassau County and leverage our international shipping expertise to thank soldiers around the world for their service, and ensure they know they are remembered by those back at home by delivering a taste of home. We are so honored to be a part of it,” stated Joe Lotz, JFK Gateway Director
at DHL Express. “As an organization that is dedicated to supporting our military personnel, we always look forward to partnering with Girl Scouts of Nassau County to make Operation Cookie a success.” Men and women in the U.S. military will soon be enjoying the final installment of their favorite Girl Scout Cookies such as Thin Mints, Savannah Smiles, Do-Si-Dos, Samoas, Trefoils and Tagalongs. The Girl Scout Cookie Program and Operation Cookie teaches Girl Scouts about goal setting, decision-making, money management, people skill, and business ethics—aspects essential to leadership, success and life. Individuals can donate toward Operation Cookie year-round by visiting www. gsnc.org and selecting their donation to go toward Operation Cookie for the 2018 Girl Scout Cookie season.

Lights, Camera, Action! Students at Nassau BOCES Long Island High School for the Arts Filmmaking Program got the chance to showcase their original productions recently at the school’s annual Film Festival. Family, faculty and fellow students applauded at the diverse and imaginative films, written, produced and acted by the students. Featured were Cassandra Jones, by Anna Manae Romano, Half Hollow Hills CSD; At the Table, by Brandyn Royere, Locust Valley CSD; As Good as it Gets, by Matthew Verni, Locust Valley CSD; King, by Joshua Levenstein, Roslyn UFSD; and Jellyfish, by Emily Schaubeck, Garden City UFSD. The evening ended with an entertaining, informative and sometimes humorous behind-the-scenes look in Memory Montage, depicting the process and trials of filming scenes in and around the school. The students held a question-and-answer period after the film presentation. “Our annual film festival was a great success, but I view it as only the tip of the iceberg,” said LIHSA instructor
Anthony Petrucci. “I don’t focus our year on this one night; I focus on the process of individual evolution in each student, which will continue long after they graduate.” Petrucci went on to say that he’s very proud of his students in that they’ve accepted his challenge to fulfill multiple complex artistic disciplines, and they’ve done so with complete originality through every step of the filmmaking process. “This is unique at the high school level,” Petrucci said. “That is, they each write their own screenplay from scratch, transform the screenplay into shooting instructions and design elements, cast their roles, direct their actors and crew, operate the camera as their own cinematographer and edit the footage into something impactful and lasting. It’s a deeply difficult art form that requires intellectual and emotional stamina along with great imagination and willingness to take creative risks. My students, I think, have shown tonight that they are far along in their evolution.”
Some members of the filmmaking program at Long Island High School for the Arts gathered for a photo before the showing of their films. From left were Joshua Levenstein (Roslyn UFSD), Brandyn Royere and Matthew Verni (Locust Valley CSD); Emily Schaubeck (Garden City UFSD), and LIHSA Filmmaking Instructor Anthony Petrucci.

Your mind is a unique filter. This week you will be practically incapable of turning over information without imprinting your own creative stamp on it. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You want the value you add to feel good to you in the moment and make others smile, too. Then again, what really matters is the value you can add that will last. The beginnings of your lasting contribution may not be met with smiles. It may take a while before everyone understands the long-term gains. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are changing the world in subtle ways all of the time. Truly, it is all different because of you. You can’t help but make your mark. So stop worrying about how you’ll do it and think about your own needs, wants and preferences. When you focus in on what brings you pleasure, you’ll make others happy, too. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your leadership has earned you recognition along the way, and you’re comfortable at the top. Even so, you sometimes find it a big relief not to be the one in charge. This week you can trust the people around you and get something entirely different from the experience by relaxing and letting them do their thing. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In school, the lesson comes before the test. In life, the test comes first, and if the lesson isn’t subsequently learned, the test will be offered again and again. You’re a quick study, so you needn’t worry -- though if you do notice the same trial coming up more than once, pay better attention to the kernel of knowledge inside it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The fight for justice can be tricky. It is easy to take on the characteristics of the very thing you oppose. This is a time to be extremely thoughtful in your approach. Before you jump into someone else’s fight and do it their way, think about how you might embody the characteristics you most would like to see in the world. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When you try to get the care you need from others this week, you’ll end up feeling less than satisfied. But if you give care to yourself you’ll not only get what you need; you’ll be educated as to how to provide sustenance and happiness to yourself whenever you need it in the future. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll witness something so magical that it will seem like a cheat. When things happen seemingly without the assembly stage, it seems like enchantment, but it’s more likely an iceberg situation. The work began long ago and has been building up for ages, and 80 percent of it is below the surface. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Organized work habits, an effective manner of communication, true love in action -- these things involve small steps and habits that must be learned. You’ll take a cue and pick up what you were missing. Also, you’ll help someone work on such life skills -- about as great a gift as is possible to give. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Welcome the waves and shocks into a relationship. Such upsets are integral to the development of meaningful ties. You may know whom you like and who likes you, and yet, until the relationship has withstood some degree of adversity, it can’t be called a true friendship. That goes double for love! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You can be who you want to be. Sometimes you lose sight of this. Don’t let fear thwart your reinvention. Comparisons lead to self-doubt. Worry becomes an addictive pattern of mind. It’s time to overcome. Or if you want to be quick about it, just drop it! It’s like waking up. You can literally do it in a snap.
THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS
Congratulations will be in order, and you’ll hear them so often this year that your main challenge will be not letting it go to your head. Staying on task with the next goal, and the next, will be key. There’s a chance for expensive leisure, but if you spend your money on something more lasting you won’t be sorry. The professional shift in August will spark your imagination and be excellent for your vitality. Friends adventure with you in October. You’ll be elected or appointed in February.

Despicable Dads Dominate The Screen BY BETSY ABRAHAM BABRAHAM@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
W
hat’s it take to be a great dad? Don’t ask any of these TV patriarchs, who have set a new low standard for fatherhood with their lying, scheming and murdering ways. And while we would hate to call any of these men our dad, we do love watching them cause mayhem in their own families. Homer Simpson, The Simpsons Lazy, irresponsible, dim-witted: that’s just the tip of the iceberg for Homer Simpson. He’s short-tempered, bone-headed and often cares more about donuts than his responsibilities as a dad. While he’s often more devoted to satisfying his stomach than his family, Homer does have his fair share of winning moments, like when he sold a ride on the Duff blimp to enter Lisa in a beauty contest. But, perhaps his most memorable, and hilarious, TV moments are when he’s being the ridiculous, bumbling oaf he was created to be.

Baseball’s Best One-Two Pitch BY JOE SCOTCHIE JSCOTCHIE@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
A
s late as the 1960s, many major league baseball teams stuck with a fourman pitching rotation. Not only that, pitchers, especially the aces, were expected to go nine innings. And so, starting pitching combinations fueled many great runs by great teams. They also became the stuff of legend. “Spahn and Sain and two days of rain,” became a favorite chant for 1948 Boston Braves fans as that downtrodden franchise would treat its loyal followers to a surprise pennant that year before losing to the Cleveland Indians in the World Series. It was Boston Post sportswriter Gerald V. Hern who knocked out this little poem that have kept Spahn and Sain in baseball lore. First we’ll use Spahn then we’ll use Sain Then an off day followed by rain Back will come Spahn followed by Sain And followed we hope by two days of rain. Warren Spahn was a Hall of Fame lefty, a man, who after 22 years, retired with 363 wins. In the 1950s, Spahn would pitch the now-Milwaukee Braves to a pennant and World Series win in 1957 and a repeat pennant win in 1958. Spahn was now joined by powerful right-hander Lew Burnette for another famous duo. In 1969, 21 years after the Braves win, New York Met fans were treated to even greater shock, when the once-lovable losers stunned the baseball world by winning the World Series. The righty-lefty duo of Tom Seaver and Jerry Koosman powered the Miracle Mets. That year, Seaver won 25 games and was named Sportsman of the Year by Sports Illustrated. Koosman won 17 games and was the winning pitcher in the World Series-clinching win in Game Five. These were the days when you couldn’t take two steps in New York City without running into a Blarney Stone or a saloon with the ubiquitous four-leaf clover. Delirious Met fans came up with their own battle cry,
“Seav and Kooz and bring on the booze.” That wasn’t as healthy as praying for rain, but Seaver and Koosman, this time by aided by Jon Matlock, pitched the Mets to another pennant in 1973. When the subject is baseball excellence, the road always leads to the New York Yankees. The Bronx Bombers of the Roarings 20s remain legendary for the Murderers’ Row of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Bob Meusel, Earle Combs and others. But those teams also featured another lethal righty-lefty combination: Hall of Famers Waite Hoyt and Herb Pennock. In 1927, the Yankees fielded what experts have long considered the greatest team ever. That year, Hoyt won 22 games, while Pennock won 19. In the 1960s, pitching began to dominate baseball. And no duo was more dazzling than Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Koufax, a native of Brooklyn who flourished on the West Coast, combined a rising fastball with a crackling hard curve to lead the Dodgers to World Series wins in 1963 and 1965 and another pennant in 1966. Koufax was complimented perfectly by Drysdale, a big right-hander

whose side-arm delivery had batters lunging away at fastballs and sliders. In their prime, the Koufax-Drysdale duo was the most formidable in baseball history. In both 1963 and 1965, the Dodgers’ opponents, respectively the New York Yankees and the Minnesota Twins, couldn’t mount a serious offense to these two greats. The subject is duos, but let’s end with a nod to the greatest trio of starting pitching history. From 1949 to 1953, the Yankees won five straight World Series. Leading the way was the trio of hard throwers Allie Reynolds and Vic Raschi, plus junkballer Eddie Lopat. In that era, the Yankees had to fend off the Cleveland Indians who had no less than three Hall of Famers—Bob Feller, Early Wynn and Bob Lemon—in their rotation. Pitching counts. So does the skipper who handles the staff. The Yankees had Casey Stengel as manager and that made all the difference.
