ENTERTAINMENT

Sterling K. Brown Makes His Mark BY BETSY ABRAHAM BABRAHAM@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

If he’s not already, Sterling K. Brown is about to become one of your favorite actors. Not only does the St. Louis, MO, native have his name tied to three big movies set for release this year and next, but he’s also the star of the popular primetime television show This Is Us, for which he recently won an Emmy. “This is the second year that I’ve been blessed to step on that stage. I’m like a kid in a candy store each time it happens,” said Brown of accepting the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series last month. “To be on a network TV show in the company of such wonderful and talented people, I feel like I’m living out my dream.” If Brown’s name seems like a new one, it shouldn’t. The actor has graced the big and small screens for the past 17 years, with roles on Army Wives, Person of Interest and Supernatural. But it was his 2016 performance as attorney Christopher Darden on FX’s American Crime Story: The People Vs. O.J. Simpson that thrust the experienced actor into the spotlight. The role not only garnered Brown an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie, but made viewers, and casting directors, take notice. “I feel like I’m at the beginning of my career,” said Brown on becoming a household name. “I’m so excited to see what the future holds and am thankful that people are embracing me at this point in my career. I’m happy to receive the love that comes my way.” Brown’s powerful performance in American Crime Story opened the door for his current role as Randall Pearson in NBC’s This Is Us, which is currently in its second season. Switching from past to present, the show tackles issues such as parenting, self-image and anxiety with deep, emotional storylines and relatable characters that have captivated millions of viewers. Brown is full of praise for his castmates, noting that one of his favorite parts of the show is the casting. “I love that it’s a show that uses the actors to help tell a really complex story,” said Brown. “I’m not opposed to colorblind casting, but what’s better than that is when you choose an actor of a different race or body type and use those people to help tell stories only they can communicate.” For Brown, that means portraying a successful African American professional with a strong marriage and children he dotes on. It’s a role that defies

Season 2 of This Is Us finds Beth and Randall Pearson, played by Susan Kelechi Watson and Sterling K. Brown, looking into fostering a child. (Photo courtesy of NBC) stereotypes usually assigned to African American characters and one that Brown is proud to take on. “It’s a responsibility, one that I’m eager to accept,” said Brown of bringing Randall into homes each week. “People who don’t have a great socialization around other African Americans, when they see the humanity in this man, it helps them take a step towards embracing people from all walks of life instead of being fearful. And for the African American community in particular, it’s good to see the positive imagery of yourself reflected back to you.” Brown’s next big role finds him returning to the courtroom, but this time he’s the one on trial as he plays Joseph Spell in Marshall. Based on a true story, the film, in theaters Oct. 13, follows a young Thurgood Marshall (Chadwick Boseman), a lawyer for the NAACP at the time, as he defends Spell, who has been accused of sexual assault and attempted murder by a wealthy Connecticut socialite. Brown said when he read the script for the film, he knew it was a story that had to be told. “It really points the finger at the institution of racism and reminds us how difficult it is to separate ourselves from that. It’s good to be reminded of

how insidious it is so we don’t repeat the cycle,” said Brown, noting that current events have made the film especially relevant. “I’m looking forward to people seeing this movie because hopefully it can wake them up and keep them from going too far in the wrong direction.”

DINING

Bare Breakfast BY STEVE MOSCO SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

ince its inception in Astoria, Queens, way back in 2009, organic burger joint Bareburger has expanded rapidly across the country and even throughout the world. Now the purveyors of grass-fed goodness are turning the clock back to the morning, with an all-new breakfast menu at its Plainview location. The breakfast menu at Bareburger dips from waffles and pancakes, to plates, bowls and omelettes, to greens, tacos and sandwiches, along with top-notch coffee. Inventive takes on classic breakfast fare abound, with Bareburger’s signature flair for not-so-common meats making its way onto the menu. Just a few of the options include Waffle-Wiches, featuring two waffle sandwiches with wild boar sausage, sunny poached eggs, American cheese and sticky sauce; Eggy Pop tacos with

scrambled eggs, smoked brisket, queso fresco, pickled red onions, habanero mayo and salsa verde; and a Ranchero Fundido bowl, with sunny poached eggs, spicy vegan chorizo, queso fundido, avocado, pickled red onion, black bean salsa and corn tortilla chips. For a first timer, the manager recommended the Tottie Too Hottie bowl, with tater tots, sunny poached egg, queso fundido, black forest bacon, guacamole and spicy pico de gallo; as well as a Flight of Pancakes, which includes stacks of any three of Bareburger’s pancakes. The Tottie Too Hottie featured a base

Rocking Out For Wounded Warriors Gary Puckett & the Union Gap to headline Roslyn event

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

Gary Puckett and the Union Gap may have enjoyed their heyday from 1967 to 1969, but it hasn’t kept these 1960s pop legends from touring and also giving back. On Oct. 14, Puckett and the Union Gap will be headlining an oldies bill at Roslyn High School as part of Roslyn Rocks for the Wounded Warriors. Proceeds will go to Nassau County Fire Fighters’ Operation Wounded Warriors, which provides free programs and services to address the needs of wounded warriors and fill gaps in government care. The demand for its programs and services has grown from serving a handful of injured veterans to now serving tens of thousands. The organization continues to receive hundreds of new registrations from injured veterans, their families and caregivers each month. And it’s a worthy cause that Puckett is happy to raise money for. “I’m always pleased to see that we’re doing something for those who are America’s Finest, as I like to call them,” Puckett said. “I also do a tribute to veterans that’s been part of my set

Gary Puckett (third from left) and The Union Gap circa 2012 since way back in 1984 on the very first Happy Together Tour.” Founded in 1967 by Puckett, the Union Gap enjoyed a string of five Top 10 hits for the next two years. Like any other oldies act, Puckett promises to keep the nostalgia flame burning bright with those much-loved songs

175786B

Among the hits fans will hear Gary Puckett and the Union Gap play are “Woman, Woman” and “To Love Somebody.” serving as the creative kindling for anyone coming out to see his band. “People want to hear the music of their youth and the music that they expect from me. I play all the hits and we play a lot of the songs that were on the first three albums for the Union Gap,” he explained. “It’s built around music that they may recognize but were not necessarily our songs—though I do all the hits—‘Woman, Woman,’ ‘Young Girl,’ ‘Lady Willpower,’ ‘Over You,’ ‘This Girl Is a Woman Now.’ But we also do some songs like The Bee Gees ‘To Love Somebody’ and Bob Dylan’s ‘Mighty Quinn,’ because it’s so much fun. We do songs that everybody knows and loves.” The son of two musicians who started out playing in Dick Halverson’s Big Band as high schoolers, Puckett’s musical introduction began early. Piano lessons started at the age of six where he learned about the three B’s— Beethoven, Bach and Brahms. Born in Hibbings, MN (birthplace of Bob Dylan), Puckett moved to Yakima, WA, with his family while still a teenager. A chance discovery of a guitar in his grandparents’ attic, plus an affinity for an array of 1950s rock and rollers including Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Eddie Cochran, Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis, had the aspiring musician looking to this as a viable career choice by the time the Puckett clan relocated to Southern California in the early 1960s. While balancing college and working a day job, Puckett created a

portfolio with lyrics, band pictures and a demo and started shopping it around to different labels. An encounter with Jerry Fuller, an A&R man who penned Rick Nelson’s “Traveling Man” and was starting a new gig at Columbia Records, led to Puckett’s getting signed. The ambitious young musician then came up with the Civil War motif for his new group. “I knew that it was a very competitive business and everybody wanted to be on the Top 40 and to get on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. So I thought we might want to go for a visual image along with a record that we might be able to make. [The idea was that] maybe somebody would look at it, be curious and wonder what the record sounded like and that’s exactly what happened,” he recalled. “One day it occurred to me that maybe we could wear Civil War outfits and thereby be the same but be different. I took the band down from Seattle to Portland [OR] and then onto Vallejo [CA]. From there, we went to a place in Los Angeles, called Western Costume and rented one Civil War outfit. I then took the band to Tijuana, Mexico, and had a little tailor make these spectacular outfits for us.” Hits rolled in over the next couple of years and the band shared bills with acts ranging The Buckinghams and the Grass Roots to the The Association and The Beach Boys. Fuller’s controlling ways in the studio led to creative chafing that came to a head when Puckett and the band refused to play on a 1969 recording session featuring a 40-piece orchestra the producer arranged to have play on the song. The date was canceled and Fuller never worked with the group. And while Puckett admits he might not have been ready to take the lead with his group, he also pointed out that tastes and times were changing. “I made some poor decisions at a very bad time when things were changing,” he said. “The ‘60s were becoming the ‘70s. People were changing their attitudes, their minds, their music, their drugs—they were just changing and moving on.” Gary Puckett & The Union Gap will be appearing as part of Roslyn Rocks for the Wounded Warriors on Oct. 14 alongside Jay Siegel’s Tokens, Emil Stucchio & The Classics plus The Devotions. The event takes place on Oct. 14 at Roslyn High School, 475 Round Hill Rd., Roslyn. For more information, visit www.poprockdoowopp. com or call 516-587-7187.

Brain Aneurysm Walk Raises Money, Awareness

BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF editorial@antonmediagroup.com

About 1,000 walkers helped raise $70,000 at Jones Beach State Park recently during Long Island’s ninth annual Brain Aneurysm Awareness Walk, hosted by Northwell Health’s Brain Aneurysm Center and the Brain Aneurysm Foundation (BAF). Proceeds from the walk will be divided between the two organizations to support essential research. Brain aneurysm survivors, their families and friends attended the funfilled event on Sept. 23. David Chalif, MD and Avi Setton, MD, co-directors of Northwell’s Brain Aneurysm Center, were among many Northwell doctors, nurses and staff members in attendance to show their support of the many patients they have treated over the years. Two brain aneurysm survivors at the walk, Terry Bongiorno, 53, of New Hyde Park, and Kathleen Smith, 63, of Westbury—who each lost family members to aneurysms—shared their stories. In emotional speeches to the

Participants walked to raise money for brain aneurysm research. crowd, Bongiorno and Smith each talked about how their unique family histories led them to get screened. Each made the decision to get treated once they were diagnosed. “One of the goals of this event is to increase awareness about the warning signs of a brain aneurysm,” said

Chalif. “The symptoms can include severe headache, nausea, blurred or double vision, stiff neck or neck pain, pain above or behind the eye, and loss of sensation. Approximately five percent of brain aneurysms are linked to a family history. Ms. Bongiorno and Ms. Smith are to

be commended for their decisive action to get properly screened due to their family history and have their aneurysms treated before they ruptured. We are extremely grateful to them for sharing their stories and admire their extraordinary courage and strength.”

Program Helps Girl Scouts Learn And Earn BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF editorial@antonmediagroup.com

Girl Scouts of Nassau County (GSNC) are businesswomen in the making as they practice fundamental business skills during the annual Mags&Munchies program, running now until Oct. 24. The Mags&Munchies program presents the opportunity for girls to learn goal setting, money management, business ethics, decision making and people skills—all while they earn funds for their Troop. “Mags&Munchies is a fantastic opportunity to teach girls life skills while they have fun earning patches and helping their Troop earn start-up money for the fall,” said Deborah Goldsmith, COO of GSNC. “This business program also teaches real-world online skills by empowering girls to create their very own Mags&Munchies webstores, in addition to sending marketing emails to their friends and family.” Through selling magazine subscriptions for more than 600 publications; photo keepsakes; and delicious nuts, snacks, and chocolates, the Mags&Munchies program helps girls experience new and exciting adventures without having to wait

until cookie season. New this year are more online choices, including stainless steel bottles, thermal tumblers and organic veggie plants. The Mags&Munchies program has grown over the years and continues to evolve to meet the needs of the girls. The girls asked for a way to give back to those in need. Now they can collects donations through Mags&Munchies for Project Thank You and Operation Stop Hunger. With Project Thank You, customers can send local military and veterans a subscription to a magazine of their choice. Last year, GSNC Troops received 1,539 donations of $5 each, for vouchers for annual magazine subscriptions that were distributed to military personal and aim to exceed that number this year. Through Operation Stop Hunger, customers can also donate $5, and the GSNC will send tasty Mags&Munchies treats to Island Harvest for distribution to local food pantries. Girl Scouts will be taking orders and hosting booth sales throughout Nassau County until Oct. 24.

WE’RE ALL HEART ST. FRANCIS IS NATIONALLY RANKED AS THE TOP HEART HOSPITAL ON LONG ISLAND BY U.S.NEWS & WORLD REPORT

For the last 11 years, St. Francis has been ranked among the best hospitals in the country for Cardiology & Heart Surgery by U.S.News & World Report. No other Long Island hospital can say that. Neither can many NY hospitals. That’s 11 years of valves repaired and replaced, arteries stented and bypassed, stopped hearts started, lives saved, and thousands of families, who might otherwise have mourned, rejoicing. Those are our real badges. If one of the best heart hospitals in the country is a heartbeat away, why would you go anywhere else?

County Exec Candidates Debate At Hofstra BY CHRIS BOYLE editorial@antonmediagroup.com

With recent primary elections deciding the political party players in the upcoming November election, Hofstra University gave the public an early taste of the ballot as the school’s Department of Political Science, along with the League of Women Voters of Nassau County, hosted a debate among three candidates vying for the County Executive seat—Democrat Laura Curran, a former newspaper reporter and current District 5 Nassau County Legislator; Republican Jack Martins, former State Senator and Mayor of Mineola; and Green Party member Cassandra Lems, who previously ran for a state Senate seat in 2014. Held in the campus’ Monroe Lecture Center, the event saw each candidate begin with an opening statement before fielding questions Candidates, from left, Cassandra Lems, Laura Curran and Jack Martins (Photo by Chris Boyle) submitted by audience members. “People are concerned about taking a different tack from her comarrested and indicted—both sides have leadership, there’s certainly a way of finances here in the county—high tax- petitors with her opening statement. a lot to be ashamed of when it comes to finding a few million dollars certainly against the $125 million in overtime es, crumbling infrastructure, protect“Elections are all about money and public corruption in Nassau County,” ing the environment.

“When NYU Winthrop’s TAVR team replaced my heart valve, they gave me my life back.”

For John Elliott, sailing is living. He’s been on the water for most of his 91 years. In all three theaters during World War 2, as a merchant seaman, and for the last 70 years sailing out of the Rockaway Point Yacht Club. But recently John was so fatigued and short of breath, he could only walk a few steps. His aortic valve was failing. A condition that could lead to heart failure, and death. His daughter, a nurse, told John about a minimally invasive valve replacement procedure called TAVR, or Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement. She took him to one of the country’s leaders in TAVR: NYU Winthrop Hospital. They replaced John’s valve through an artery in his leg. In no time at all, he was back to sailing off Breezy Point. If you suffer from aortic stenosis, you may now be a candidate for TAVR. To learn more, call 1-866-WINTHROP or visit nyuwinthrop.org.

Join The Fight

Long Island’s annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk returns More than 1,000 local breast cancer survivors, caregivers, volunteers, and corporate and community members united this August in Woodbury and Riverhead to kick off the American Cancer Society’s signature breast cancer awareness and fundraising event, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. Long Islanders are invited to join in the fight. Form a team, join a team, walk as an individual or bring a friend to the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk on Sunday, Oct. 15, at Jones Beach State Park, 1 Ocean Parkway, Wantagh. Registration begins at 7 a.m. with a rolling start beginning at 8 a.m. A second location for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is offered on Long Island’s east end, on Sunday, Oct. 22, at Suffolk Community College’s Eastern Campus, 121 Speonk Riverhead Rd., Riverhead. Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. and the walk starts at 8:30 a.m.

“With an estimated 70,000 participants at Jones Beach and several thousand more on the East End, Long Island hosts the largest attended event in the country, raising more than $3 million last year,” said Patti Lestrange Mack, American Cancer Society communications director. Since 1993, more than 12 million supporters have raised more than $750 million in nearly 300 communities nationwide. Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is a noncompetitive, inspirational event that raises awareness and funds to end breast cancer and provide hope to ensure no one faces breast cancer alone. “The American Cancer Society Making Strides walk supports the fight against the second leading cause of cancer death in women,” said Lestrange. “An estimated 252,710 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 40,610 will die from the disease this year.”

THE AMSTERDAM LIFESTYLE IS

Funds raised through Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk enables the American Cancer Society to invest in groundbreaking research; provide free, comprehensive information and support to those touched by breast cancer; and help people take steps to reduce their breast cancer risk or find it early when it’s most treatable. “Because of the determination of Making Strides supporters, the American Cancer Society is there for people in every town affected by breast cancer, whether they’re currently dealing with a diagnosis, may face one in the future, or will avoid it altogether because of education and risk reduction,” said Katie Goepfrich of the American Cancer Society. “At the event,

communities embrace a bittersweet mix of purpose—celebrating survivorship and paying meaningful tributes to loved ones lost. From research to education, prevention to diagnosis, and treatment to recovery, we provide support to everyone impacted by breast cancer.” When it comes to breast cancer, no one should walk alone. There is no fee to register, though contributions and donations are greatly appreciated. Call the American Cancer Society at 631-300-3455, email LongIslandNYStrides@cancer.org or visit www.makingstrideswalk.org/long island or www.makingstrideswalk. org/easternlongisland to sign up or donate today. —Submitted by the American Cancer Society

Managing Your Lymphedema On Monday, Nov. 6, at 6 p.m., the Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Program in Garden City will host medical professionals from different disciplines who will speak about the best ways to manage lymphedema, a side effect from breast cancer surgeries that results in localized fluid retention and tissue swelling. The incidence of breast cancer–related lymphedema ranges from 0 to 3 percent after lumpectomy alone to as high as 65 to 70 percent after modified radical mastectomy (removal of breast and axillary lymph nodes) with regional nodal radiation. It can be painful and tissues with lymphedema are at high risk of infection. Although incurable, a number of treatments can ameliorate symptoms. The speakers are Thomas Davenport, MD, FACS, LI Plastic Surgical Group; Michele Hughes, OTR/L, occupational therapist, Pink Lotus Therapy;

Diana Tjaden, physical therapist, PT, DPT, ATC, Full Circle Physical Therapy, Breast Cancer Recovery Program; and Diane Rispanti, LANA, LMT, CLT, massage therapist, Westbury Total Health Care. The meeting, which is free and open to the public, will be held at Adelphi’s Alumni House, 154 Cambridge Ave., Garden City. Reservations are required. To make a reservation, call 516-877-4325, email breastcancerhotline@ adelphi.edu or register on-line at breast-cancer.adelphi.edu/ we-can-help/forums/.

NYU Winthrop’s Breast Health Center Provides Quality, Compassionate Care A cancer diagnosis isn’t news anyone wants to hear, but for Mary Hall, 53, of Wantagh, the compassionate care she received at NYU Winthrop made all the difference during a difficult time. After being diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in October 2015, Hall underwent a double mastectomy and six months of chemotherapy. Though cancer is not an experience she would wish on anyone, Hall said she had the best experience possible by coming to NYU Winthrop’s Breast Health Center. “My life was in their hands and I had such great care,” said Hall, who has finished treatment and continues to be monitored by her doctors. Hall was vigilant about breast exams due to her family history of breast cancer. So when she felt a suspicious lump while waiting for a massage in September of 2015, she called her doctor right away. Her OB/GYN sent her to NYU Winthrop’s Breast Imaging Center, where the findings of her mammogram and sonogram were found

Dr. Daniel Maman discusses the trend in smaller breast augmentations BY JENNIFER FAUCI JFauci@antonmediagroup.com

When a breast cancer patient finally hears that he or she is cancer free, a wave of emotions rush over them. After accepting that they are in good health on the inside, sometimes their focus can shift to their appearance on the outside. While many breast cancer survivors are proud of their scars, that doesn’t mean that they don’t miss what used to be there, what could help them feel completely back to normal. Dr. Daniel Maman is a board certified plastic surgeon in Manhattan. A majority of his practice is breast cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery, which is what some breast cancer survivors seek after receiving a double mastectomy. “There is actually a trend in smaller-sized breast implants,” said Maman, who has been practicing since 2005 and in private practice since 2012. “The size that women desired has always varied slightly depending on geographic region in the country. Historically in Miami, Dallas and LA, women always wanted large implants as the augmented look was the desired look. Women in New York wanted smaller implants.” Maman’s objective as a surgeon and within his practice, 740 Park Plastic Surgery, is always to give women natural breast

Dr. Daniel Maman augmentations. For patients seeking breast reconstruction surgery, Maman works to restore the breasts to a normal shape, size and overall appearance by offering different techniques including implant reconstruction, fat grafting and DIEP flap breast reconstruction. “The variety of implants that are available has improved significantly,” noted Maman of the original saline implants that came in one shape and two textures (smooth and textures) compared to today where surgeons mainly use silicone implants. “Implant projection, texturing, fill pressures, shapes and gel viscosities are now available in implants, increasing our ability to refine results.” Maman has found that there has been an aesthetic shift in the augmented appearance of breasts

and that it is no longer appealing to a 35-year-old woman to be unproportioned in the chest area. “Many women we operate on are working women that don’t want their breasts to be the primary topic of conversation. The most common age range in women seeking smaller breasts is 30-40 years old, however, the same is true in the 20-30 age range as well.” For older women—especially mothers after breastfeeding—who have skin elasticity issues and want their breasts back to normal, Maman is able to restore the breast tissue prior to bearing children. He also states that women can still breastfeed with implants and that only 75-80 percent of women are able to breastfeed to begin with. “Placement of the implant goes below the muscle so it doesn’t come in contact with the breast tissue,” he said. “No toxic effects in terms of milk production or silicone product go to the baby.” Of the procedure, which take about an hour and five minutes, Maman discussed the most common incision for surgeons is periareolar (at the bottom of the areola) and Inframammary (along the natural fold beneath the breasts). Saline implants come empty and can be rolled into the size of a cigarette and then expanded once in the breast whereas

silicone implants (which make up 99 percent of implants) come prefilled and can be fit into a larger incision. “For every parameter, a silicone implant is better; it looks better, feels better it’s stronger and it will last longer,” said Maman, noting that there is no cancer or autoimmune disease linked to silicone implants for those wary of the procedure. Patients are able to see before and after images of what they will look like through the use of a Vectra camera, which takes 3D images of a patient through computer generated modeling of the proposed implant size and shape. “The trend is towards fair-sized implants and we take body shape, body size and curvature into account,” said Maman. “There’s a lot of variables that go into play.” Patients can go home one hour after the surgery and must take it easy for a week and are not allowed to perform any rigorous activities. Usually, patients can return to work after three or four days and at two weeks they can begin light physical activity. At four weeks is when Maman lifts all restrictions and patients can go back to living their normal every lives.

Advice From Breast Cancer Survivors BY LYN DOBRIN editorial@antonmediagroup.com

For 37 years, the Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Program has offered New Yorkers coping with breast cancer a place to receive emotional support and valuable advice. Here is some advice from five breast cancer survivors who are volunteers with the program. To reach the hotline, call 800-877-8077. .......................................................

Make a difference in someone’s life

Take it one day at a time

to take notes as well. It is normal to feel nervous and scared and you may miss or not hear important information stated by the specialist. Trust your decisions and be an active participant in your healing.

Don’t project, take it one day at a time and keep your head where your feet are,” said Mohan. “Once one has selected one’s caregivers and the protocol to be followed, the very best thing for one’s health and family is to forget about it. Just do it. And the above advice works for me. Compartmentalize and survive.

............................

A friend at work who was a breast cancer survivor told me something that really stayed with me and sustained me. She said, ‘I’ve been there. I’m here, I’ve made it and you’ll make it,’” said Mattey. “She gave me hope and that’s what I have tried to do when answering calls to the hotline. Someone calls and she’s really down but after a while, I can hear in her voice that it gets better. ‘Can I call you again?’ she might ask, and my answer, of course, is yes. And when I hang up the phone, I feel better too. I feel I have done something to make someone’s life easier.

behind them, my two ‘little boys’ are now men out on their own. And my husband and I are left with the sweet memory of the two young boys whose mere existence gave us the strength to endure our darkest fear.

“

Diane Greene, Plainview Breast cancer survivor for 19 years Hotline volunteer since 2000

“

When I was diagnosed back in 1998 my two boys were only 7 and 9 years old. While I was terrified at facing my own mortality, my biggest fear was the thought of leaving my children motherless. How would my husband do it alone…would my children even remember me?” said Greene. “Looking at my kids’ little faces, and knowing that they trusted me to be there for them, kept me focused and sustained me through the darkest of days. Together with my husband, we plotted the best path to wellness and forged ahead through every surgery and chemotherapy treatment with our eye on the prize…a long, healthy life together with our children. Now, with high school and college completed...first loves, first jobs and first apartments

My life changed forever on May 11, 2012, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Who would have thought that while taking a simple shower and feeling a small lump would have such far reaching consequences? Today, five years later, I am happy to say I am well,” said Ventimiglia. “One of the most important things I can recommend is when selecting your teams of doctors is to obtain second opinions and if needed, third opinions on everything. Do your research and become an empowered patient. Do not be afraid to tell your doctors you want to obtain another opinion. Remember, you are the CEO of your body and you need to feel comfortable with your decisions for the breast surgeon, oncologist and/or radiologist. For me I had three opinions for each specialty. Some were single practitioners; others practiced at large well-known hospitals. Some answered my questions; some made me feel rushed. There were differences in the treatment protocols and yes, I questioned each about the differences.” Ventimiglia also recommends to “write down your questions when you are interviewing the specialists or bring a relative or friend with you

“

When you receive a diagnosis of cancer, it can put you in a tailspin. Once all the pertinent information is gathered regarding surgery, radiation and chemo, it’s time to seek emotional support. This is definitely one of the most important components in treating the disease,” said Hogg. “Before and during my treatment I had spoken with an Adelphi Hotline Volunteer. She was helpful and reassuring. Shortly after I started my chemo, I noticed a small announcement in a local newspaper that new support groups were forming at Adelphi. I thought I’d give it a try. This was more than sixteen years ago. Our group started with about seven members facilitated by a social worker. We were a diverse mix of women, with different stages of breast cancer as well as different phases and types of treatments. Our weekly meeting was a special time for all of us because even though we individually had support from family and friends, this breast cancer bond was different...and unique. There are four of us who still keep in touch regularly and even though we are only able to ‘meet’ a couple of times a year our bond is special and all because of our Adelphi support group.

Screening For Cancer: What To Look For Cancer screening saves lives. Despite this, screening for cancer is not utilized as widely as recommended in the United States. In liver disease, patients with cirrhosis of any cause should be screened regularly with imaging and a blood test called an alpha-feta-protein or AFP. Any imaging modality such as ultrasound, CT scan or MRI is acceptable and the appropriate screening interval is every six months. When small cancers are found, they are readily treatable and screening regimen has been shown to save lives. There are some liver conditions, however, such as hepatitis B and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, where screening for liver cancer should be undertaken even in the absence of cirrhosis. This screening should also be at an interval of every six months. Colon cancer is a preventable cancer and a cancer that if found early, can be easily treated with excellent survival rates. The screening method of choice for colon cancer is colonoscopy as it is both a diagnostic and therapeutic test. Colonoscopy is able to find polyps and cancers and therefore it can be a preventative test as well. Stool testing, such as fecal occult blood testing and stool DNA, screen for colon cancer, not polyps. If either of there tests are positive,

THE LIVER SPECIALIST David Bernstein, MD

a colonoscopy is recommended. Regarding colonoscopy, the current recommendation for colon cancer screening is a colonoscopy starting at age 50 for all persons in the United States except for African-Americans who should begin colon cancer screening at age 45. Pre-malignant polyps found at colonoscopy can be removed and therefore cancer prevented. The timing of a second colonoscopy is dependent upon the findings at the initial colonoscopy and varies from repeating the test in one to 10 years. In special circumstances such as a family of history of colon cancer in a first-degree relative, a history of inflammatory bowel disease or a history of a hereditary polyposis syndrome, colon cancer screening may begin earlier than age 50. There appears to be a trend of an increased incidence of colon cancer in people younger than age 50. While screening

is not recommended younger individuals, anyone with symptoms such as bright red blood per rectum or a change in bowel habits should undergo colonoscopy regardless of age. Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women. When found early, the prognosis of breast cancer is excellent. Mammography is the method of choice for breast cancer screening. The current recommendation for screening for breast cancer is a mammography every year starting at age 40. In addition, a clinical breast exam should be performed every three years for women in their twenties and thirties and yearly starting at age 40. For certain women at high risk for breast cancer, an MRI is recommended for screening. Women at high risk for breast cancer include those with a family history of breast cancer, those with a BRCA1 or 2 mutation, and those with a history of radiation to the chest between the ages of 10 and 30. The difference in breast cancer survival between early and late detection is dramatic and following the American Cancer Society guidelines listed above cannot be over emphasized. Skin cancers are the most common cancers diagnosed in the United States each year. The best screening

for skin cancer is self-examination. If any changes are noted in your skin, you should seek medical attention. Although not recommended in a guideline, I am a firm believer in having a routine total body skin examination performed by a dermatologist every one to two years. There are several other common cancers for which screening is recommended. These include prostate and cervical cancer. Prevention and early detection are the keys to cancer care. I encourage all people to follow these guidelines and get tested. When found early, all of these cancers are treatable with excellent survival. When found late, none of these cancers have good outcomes. Please take control of your health and be pro-active. Several simple steps can improve your health and prevent cancer. These include staying away from tobacco, exercising regularly and avoiding becoming overweight, eating healthy, minimizing sun exposure, knowing yourself and your family history and have regular check-ups and cancer screening tests.

A Doctor’s Prescription For Medicare Open Enrollment Taking the confusion out of the process Medicare’s annual open enrollment period begins soon. During this time, Medicare beneficiaries make important choices that affect their medical costs, the doctors they see and prescription coverage. There is a lot of information about open enrollment out there, yet for many older adults the process can be challenging. Dr. Anthony Ardito, the chair department of medicine and chief medical officer for ProHEALTH Medical Management in Long Island, provides useful tips and information to help older adults and their caregivers navigate open enrollment.

: How do I get Medicare coverage? Dr. Anthony Ardito: There are several ways to get Medicare coverage. You can choose Original Medicare (Parts A and B). Part A is hospital coverage and Part B is medical coverage. Coverage is provided by the federal government. You can

also get benefits through a Medicare Advantage plan (called Part C). Medicare Advantage plans combine Part A and Part B coverage. Many plans also include prescription drug coverage (Part D) and offer additional benefits not provided by Original Medicare. Plans are offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare. There is also what’s known as Medicare supplement plans. These plans help cover some of what Medicare Parts A and B don’t pay, such as portions of coinsurance, copayments and deductibles.

: What are some of the things I should think about when choosing coverage? A: Ask yourself these questions: How often do you visit the doctor? What prescription medications do you regularly take? Do you have a particular doctor, hospital or pharmacy that you want to use? Do you have retirement health coverage?

Would you rather pay less in monthly premiums or pay less out of pocket when you receive health care?

: What is the best way to get information to make smart decisions during open enrollment? A: A great place to start is with your doctors. If you like your doctors, confirm that they will be in the care provider network for the health plan you choose. Don’t assume that your doctors will stay in the same network each year. Visit www. medicare.gov; call or contact Medicare Advantage health plans directly. You can also find information at www. MedicareMadeClear.com. Another good resource is an independent licensed insurance agent or health plan sales agent as they help Medicare beneficiaries learn about their benefit options, what’s going to fit their needs and how they can continue to see the doctors they prefer.

Anthony Ardito, M.D.

: Why is the topic of health care planning so stressful? A: Health care is a concern for everyone, and people want to make the right decisions that work best for their needs. It can be stressful for caretakers—people who make these decisions for their friends or family members—because they don’t want to make a decision that will hurt the Medicare beneficiary financially or otherwise. The more you know and the sooner you know it, you can do your research and then make a decision. Give yourself time to make the decisions that will be right for you. Anthony Ardito, M.D., is the Chair Department of Medicine, Chief Medical Officer at ProHEALTH Medical Management in Long Island, NY

“A year ago I couldn’t think about practicing yoga. Now after minimally invasive brain surgery, my pain and dizziness are gone. I found my inner focus again... THANKS TO NSPC.”

Beth’s road to recovery began with a call to Neurological Surgery, P.C. (NSPC) and a same-day appointment with a member of NSPC’s team of world-renowned brain and spine surgeons. She received a personalized treatment plan that ensured the best possible outcome. Beth’s journey ended with minimally invasive surgery that restored her normal life, including peaceful meditation.

The Split Personalities Of The Politicians INSIDE POLITICS Jerry Kremer

take control of the House. But are they capable of really pulling it off? I respect the issues that candidate Bernie Sanders raised in his primary fight against Hillary Clinton. Many of those issues were embraced by Donald Trump and helped him get elected. But maybe it’s time for Bernie Sanders to get off the stage and allow younger and more attractive candidates to emerge who can carry the party message. On almost every issue that comes up in Washington the Democratic left and the center are in complete disagreement. Most Democrats favor giving protection to the Dreamers, who are here because they were brought here at any early age. But all of a sudden the left wing says they don’t want money spent on border security. Is there any issue that the Democrats can all agree upon? I doubt it.

One interesting test in November is whether the Democratic Party in Nassau County is strong enough to elect their candidate Laura Curran to be the next County Executive. There are more enrolled Democrats than Republicans so that is a starting point. Corruption has cast a dark cloud over the Republican Party. But this is what the politicians call is an off year with light voter turnout and Republicans have a history of getting

their supporters to the polls. Whether it’s at the national or local level, Democrats have the same problems that the Republicans have. And that means that the voters of this country should truly worry about what our future will look like. Former State Assemblyman Jerry Kremer is a partner at Ruskin Moscou Faltischek in Uniondale. The views expressed are not necessarily those of the publisher or Anton Media Group.

Everybody is aware that the Republican Party at both the national and state level is in disarray. The Congressional leadership is paralyzed and unable to pass any meaningful laws and recent polls show that the President is the leader of his own party, which is of no comfort to the Republicans. But, are the Democrats in any better shape? The late Governor Al Smith once lamented that “I don’t belong to any organized political party, I am a Democrat.” For the past 75 years, the Democrats around the country have proven that even when in power they have the same problems that the Republicans are experiencing. Just like there are two Republican parties today, there are also two Democratic parties. The Republicans are split between the fast disappearing moderates and the emerging ultra conservatives. The Democrats are split between the moderates and the left wing. The year 2018 promises to be the year when the Democrats at the very least could get control of the House of Representatives. The fact that 50 Republican House members come from districts that voted for Hillary Clinton gives Democrats a chance to

Holiday Mathis Holiday Mathis Mathis HOROSCOPES ByByByHoliday

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND Fine Dining

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Just because a skill doesn’t come naturally to you doesn’t mean you are flawed or weak in the area. All it means is that you get to learn more about what it takes to learn more. Having to work at something is actually a gift. People who have to work out the mechanics of learning make better teachers.

Solution: 32 Letters

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It wasn’t too long ago when there was no one relatable to you doing the thing you want to accomplish. Now you have your choice of role models to follow, and you don’t have to choose just one. But definitely follow through with the “modeling,” and execute similar actions to your shining example. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s good to be needed, as long as what you’re needed for is the same thing you have and want to give. When these components are misaligned... well, there’s the rub. You’ll work it out, though. You’ll communicate, negotiate, network, explore and find ways that everyone can get their needs met. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have a nose for trouble. There was once a time you might have followed the scent out of curiosity or boredom, but this week you’ll use your keen senses to steer away from the danger. You don’t need any extra sources of excitement: You’ve seen enough drama already, and besides, you’re too busy for it now. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The old saying goes, “Fall down seven times; stand up eight.” Of course, if you find yourself falling that much, it’s time to look at why. Wrong shoes? Bad path? Unexpected obstacles? There must be a way you can avoid getting hurt. Get to the root of the problem so you won’t have to repeat past stumbles. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It is possible to become so immersed in your own mood you don’t recognize it -- to forget how vibrations project out to the world. This lack of self-consciousness can be a gift at times, but this week it will pay to be slightly more self-aware of how your tone is perceived and absorbed. Detach and get objective. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). To get to do what you want to do with your time -- this doesn’t seem like a tall order, but for some reason it is this week. Things come up. People need you. Try to go with the flow and be easy about it. You’ll learn more, and you’ll be back to commanding your own schedule soon enough. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). This week is about lightening up. In a weird way you can do more by caring a little less. Graceful living requires a bit of detachment. You don’t have to identify so strongly with everything that’s going on. Much of it isn’t for you to worry about. You don’t even have to identify with your own thoughts: That’s optional. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your charisma is based in a feeling of warmth toward others. The other part of it is a cornerstone belief in yourself. Whatever happens, you’ll handle it in a cool way. This balance of warm and cool energy flowing through your life this week leads to many happy exchanges and a mental state most pleasant. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may need more attention than usual this week. Give it to yourself rather than asking others to fill in the blanks. There’s nothing wrong with needing people, but these days you’ll be stronger and more attractive when you handle things in your own way rather than leaning psychically on others. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The part of you lying dormant, waiting for the chance to break through and open up to the warmth of the sun, will activate this week. The ground will yield to the natural forces at work inside you. There’s really no work for you to do other than allowing life to happen through and because of you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Of course you act when there’s something in it for you; you’d be a fool not to. You also act when there’s no apparent benefit to you, out of duty and support for those you care about. It’s this selfless action that brings good fortune, as though the gods appreciate the sacrifice and are answering in kind.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Something new opens in your heart this solar return. Your family will grow in numbers and be prosperous in other ways, too. You may feel rushed in the end of 2017, but relax. You’re younger than you think and will notice more options if you slow down enough to observe them. In January it will be better not to make a move than to do something you don’t understand. There’s a chance for boldness and adventure after May that is much more favorable. July pays top dollar for excellent work. COPYRIGHT 2017 CREATORS.COM

BARE BREAKFAST from page 4A of crisp tater tots with a blanket of fundido (melted cheese) and crisp, deeply flavored bacon crumbles. Overall, the dish had the perfect amount of subtle morning heat with the pico de gallo kick mellowed nicely by the guacamole. Breaking the yolk and letting it drape over the rest of the dish added a solid offering of fatty unctuousness that all breakfasts need. It could have used another egg, which can be added upon request. Much like a beer flight gives aficionados a chance to try multiple brews, Bareburger’s Flight of Pancakes is a crucial dish for pancake fanatics who stress over which flavor flapjack to order. The pancake menu includes five varieties: Flaptax, which are classic pancakes; Chocolate Thunder, with chocolate hazelnut spread and whipped cream; Bananarama, with bananas, candied pecans, caramel sauce and whipped cream; You’re My Boy Blue, with fresh blueberries, whipped

cream and homemade blueberry syrup; and Coco Loco, with toasted coconut, lemon curd, fresh blueberries and blueberry syrup. While completely subjective, the Bananarama reigns supreme as the caramel sauce and candied pecans offer a flavor and textural combination to behold. You’re My Boy Blue runs a close second, thanks to mouthfuls of blueberries and the instantly addictive blueberry syrup. Rounding out the menu is Bareburger’s waffle options, which include both standard waffles and four varieties of Chicken & Waffles. Choose between Buffalo & Blue; Sticky; Wham Bam and the straight-up classic. Sure, Bareburger is known for its burgers, but its crisp and dynamic fried chicken is potent enough to make you think twice before ordering any time of the day. Bareburger serves breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. 399 South Oyster Bay Rd., Plainview
