Bethpage Resident Documents Her Cancer Journey

LAUREN FELDMAN

lfeldman@antonmediagroup.com

On Long Island, one in every eight women are diagnosed with breast cancer. Being diagnosed or even getting tested for breast cancer causes lots of stress, uncertainty, and fear. But for Bethpage resident Christina Mathieson-Segura, her diagnosis was also an opportunity to provide valuable resources, and to help other women feel less alone.

Mathieson-Segura was first diagnosed during the initial wave of Covid-19 lockdown and restrictions, in November of 2020. “When I got the results, I couldn’t go see my primary [in person], she called me.” This initial shock was followed by a slew of questions and uncertainties, something many patients experience after receiving such news. When she started digging, however, MathiesonSegura realized that there was not very much information out there on what she really wanted to know; how to not only survive but thrive. “The only thing that we hear about, when someone gets breast cancer, is a memorial in their honor when they die. We don’t get to hear about them living happy and healthy lives.” Christina also thought of her mother’s battle with cancer many years ago. “She suffered extensively. And at that time there was no internet, there was no anything. All you had was the phone, all you had was your friends and family… When I got diagnosed, all of those feelings came rushing back to me. I thought, ‘I’m going to die, just like she died.’ And I wasn’t done with my life, I had so much I wanted to do, so much work to do. There’s no checklist for how to handle this.”

Christina was searching for a way to reclaim her agency in a tumultuous time, especially because her treatment was extremely isolating. “When I started chemo, you couldn’t bring anyone with you,” she recalls. “My husband would take me there and leave. I was there for hours by myself. In many ways, it was so scary for me, and it would have been nice to have someone with me. Because I was by myself, I had to be brave… I was there and I just had to do it. [During Covid] everything you did, you had to do it by yourself. I was FaceTiming my husband from the doctor’s office, so that he could be a part of what was going on.”

All of Christina’s uncertainties and fears could have stopped her in her tracks. Instead,

she decided to break the cycle and do something different. She decided to record her cancer journey and make it available for other patients to watch. “After a few days, I started to think ‘I have to document this’, because there are women who are going to come behind me that are going to face a similar journey. And while I didn’t know what my journey was going to look like, I knew I was going to be okay. So, I started to record everything, and it gave me purpose.”

Over the next two years, MathiesonSegura would film herself; her thoughts on

a particularly rough or great day, her chemo appointments, and the little victories she experienced along the way. “I didn’t think of myself as a victim, I thought of myself as having a project. My project was going to get me through,” she said. “And it was going to help other people.” Mathieson-Segura also interviewed with four other women who had been diagnosed with cancer. The group discussed wigs, their treatment process, as well as the difficult path of telling close family and friends about their diagnoses. Christina compiled all of her clips, as well as these

interviews, to put together her documentary, titled You’ll Be OK Too.

The documentary premiered last month at the Bellmore Movies and Showplace, to a vast and supportive audience. In many ways, watching the audience was more rewarding to Christina than putting together the documentary had been. She also launched her nonprofit of the same name to continue her work providing resources and community to women at all stages of their battle with cancer.

A lot has changed for Christina since her initial diagnosis, including how strong she truly is. “I realized how powerful I was, that I was in no way a victim. The universe had thrown this at me, and that I was so powerful for maintaining my attitude throughout. The sun is brighter, the flowers bloom more beautifully.” In her life as a business owner and entrepreneur, she wanted to empower other women. She is thrilled to be able to do so through relaying her experiences during this incredibly vulnerable time in her life. “I think we learn [somewhere along the way] to undercut ourselves. I am more focused on empowering these women to be the best they can be. We shouldn’t have to be in a dire situation… We don’t ‘go for it’ until our backs are against the wall, and I think that has to change.”

Christina’s documentary is available to view for free on YouTube at: https://youtu. be/xC0coLr9_lc and her nonprofit website can be found by going to: www.youllbeoktoo.org

Seaford Master Teacher Strives To Keep On Growing

Seaford High School math and computer science teacher Ryan Stephens always wants to learn, and he was given a great opportunity to do just that when he was accepted into the New York State Master Teacher program.

Mr. Stephens has been teaching in Seaford for five years. This year, he teaches geometry, Introduction to Game Design and LIU Java Programming. He started the game design course, which focuses on the Python programming language.

The Master Teacher program is sponsored by the State University of New York and hosted locally by Stony Brook University. This year, 221 educators were selected, and Mr. Stephens will be part of the program for four years, receiving expanded opportunities for networking and professional development.

“What really piqued my curiosity was the opportunity to collaborate with other math and computer science teachers,” Mr. Stephens said. “I thought it would be a great way to learn new and engaging teaching strategies.”

Already, Mr. Stephens attended a sixhour conference on geometry through an algebraic approach. Workshops focused on bridging the gap between algebra and geometry, two consecutive high school math courses with very different content and concepts. Another conference he went to targeted STEM enrichment opportunities that students could do at home.

Mr. Stephens plans to bring the knowledge he acquires to other Seaford teachers

and would like to lead STEM instruction workshops. After a few years in the Master Teacher program, he will also be able to lead regional training sessions.

He holds his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from St. Joseph’s College along with school building and district leadership certificates. At Seaford High School, he is the adviser of the Computer Club, Mathletes and the National Honor Society. His Computer Club students attended a coding competition last month.

Mr. Stephens said that his goal as a participant in the Master Teacher program is to add new strategies to his teaching toolbox.

“I hope that my students can get more hands-on and differentiated instruction,” he said, “because the program will teach me how to present the content in ways I may have never thought of.”

Teddy Roosevelt Returns Home

LAUREN FELDMAN

lfeldman@antonmediagroup.com

The citizens of Oyster Bay were treated earlier this month to a visit from 26th President Theodore Roosevelt. Embodied by famed reprisor Joe Wiegand, Roosevelt joined Town Clerk Richard LaMarca and Councilwoman Vicki Walsh upon the Oyster Bay Bandstand to commemorate the 125th Anniversary of the Spanish-American War.

LaMarca greeted the crowd. “This momentous event, which serves as a tangible link to the past, underscores the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations. President Theodore Roosevelt was not only a national treasure, he is our hometown hero. I think we can all agree there is unique, local pride in knowing that the President proudly called our town home. Right up the road at Sagamore Hill, the President resided in his summer White House, and similar to all of us, he spent his time admiring and gazing upon Oyster Bay Harbor, as well as strolling the streets of downtown Oyster Bay. At only 42 years old, Roosevelt became the youngest president to serve in our nation’s

history. He brought new excitement and power to the presidency, as he vigorously led Congress and the American public toward progressive reform... He was a most worthy role model for all of us, and we can say his influence is still felt here in his hometown. Before President Roosevelt passed away in 1919, he said, ‘No man has had a happier life than I have led, a happier life in every way.’ And that can be attributed to spending many wonderful years in this great town we call home, the town of Oyster Bay.”

Roosevelt’s reprisor commemorated

the war, as well as the sinking of the U.S.S. Maine, honoring the 266 Americans who perished on this vessel with a remembrance ceremony. The sinking of the Maine incited United States’ passions against Spain, eventually leading to a naval blockade of Cuba and a declaration of war. “Do we really remember the Maine?” he asked. “It has implications in our modern day... When we say we will remember, when we say we will not forgot, do our actions hold true to our words? I am delighted

and humbled that today, Oyster Bay pauses and remembers the Maine, the Spanish-American War, the hundreds of Americans who gave their lives in Spain, in Cuba, in the Philippines, that other people might live free.” He continued, “This meeting today is in honor of all of those Americans who have upheld the flag.”

Visitors were able to take photos and shake hands with the President, who, following his presentation, patronized a variety of shops in downtown Oyster Bay.

The Safe Center Participates In LGBT+ Endorsement Program

The Safe Center, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit, the leading victim service organization on Long Island, announced it has been selected for the LGBTQIA+ Endorsement Pilot program through the New York State Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence (OPDV) in consultation with the NYC Anti-Violence Project (AVP).

The Safe Center is one of just five agencies in New York State to participate in the one-year program, and the only one on Long Island. The program was announced by Governor Hochul in 2022.

The LGBTQIA+ Endorsement Program aims to make it easier for LGBTQIA+ survivors of gender-based violence to find help and support. This voluntary program supports domestic violence programs to build capacity to be recognized as LGBTQIA+ affirming and inclusive in their services, policies, and practices, showing their commitment to the LGBTQIA+ community.

As part of this pilot program, the five domestic violence programs will work closely with OPDV and AVP to meet the program standards and provide feedback on the process. This ensures that the program standards and the Endorsement Program is developed with the valuable input of

domestic violence programs.

“This is incredibly important in the journey towards creating not just an inclusive framework but also a place where the LGBTQIA+ community can find safety and support when escaping domestic violence situations,” said Joshua Hanson, Executive Director of The Safe Center. “Working with the Governor’s Office and OPDV will help create a more inclusive, compassionate and responsive posture that will benefit the people we serve, who are finding themselves in the most challenging circumstances of their lives.”

The LGBTQIA+ Endorsement draft standards were created in an inter-disciplinary

working group of experts that was convened by the New York City Anti-Violence Project (AVP) and OPDV. It included representation from the New York State Coalition Against Domestic Violence, the New York State LGBTQIA+ Intimate Partner Violence Network and the New York State Office of Children and Family Services.

The draft standards created for use to determine organizations who may receive an LGBTQIA+ Endorsement include the following criteria:

1. Demonstrate an organizational commitment to LGBTQI+ inclusive and affirming programming.

2. Employ LGBTQIA+-affirming strategies with every program participant and colleague.

3. Maintain policies and procedures that are in compliance with federal and state law, to ensure LGBTQI+ inclusion and affirmation.

4. Create data collection processes and forms for staff and program participants that ensure LGBTQI+ inclusion and affirmation.

5. Create a welcoming space for LGBTQIA+ program participants and staff.

6. Establish relationships with local LGBTQIA+ organizations and resources.

7. Increase and ensure diverse LGBTQIA+ inclusion and representation among staff and board.

8. Ensure staff and program participants receive training and technical assistance to support LGBTQI+ inclusion.

“The Safe Center is committed to being a safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community in need of our vital and specialized service,” said Debbie Lyons, Associate Executive Director at The Safe Center. “We look forward to this collaborative relationship to ensure that our services, policies, and practices reflect that commitment.”

benefits are immense.

When you plan ahead, you can make your final wishes known and provide your loved ones with true peace of mind.

MiniCon Brings SciFi Fans Together For A Cause

Second annual event raises money for Cerebral Palsy

For the second year, The Cerebral Palsy Association of Nassau County is holding their Annual Sci-Fi Mini Convention at Levittown Hall, 201 Levittown Parkway, Hicksville, NY on Saturday, July 22nd from 12pm – 5pm. This event is sponsored by Jovia Financial Credit Union.

This year’s MiniCon will feature members of the 501st Legion’s Empire City Garrison, The Rebel Legion’s Echo Base, and the Saber Guild’s Endor Temple in their Star Wars Costumes. There will also be visits by members of the Long Island Ghost Busters and Princesses from Royal Princess Prep Entertainment. There will be games and activities including Blast-A-Trooper, Jedi Training, and meet and greets with media guests. There will be Light Saber demonstrations from the Saber Guild.

Chris Feehan, Development Assistant at The Cerebral Palsy Association of Nassau County (CPNassau), is the point of contact between the 501st and CPNassau and the person spearheading MiniCon. He said that while last year’s event was a run-away success, it happened almost organically. “Last year’s Con came together by chance. The 501st Legion wanted to put on a small event for (CPNassau) with some cosplayers from the 501st and the Rebel Legion. We then expanded that and included the Saber Guild and the Ghostbusters and some other costuming people to kind of put on a little mini convention to help raise money for the Cerebral Palsy Association. Well, that kind of exploded and we got some additional guests; we got some actors, some wrestlers, and some professional cosplayers to come together. This year, we’ve had a little more time to plan and learn from our experiences. We have even more guests and more exciting activities for kids and adults.”

A lot of the fundraising is being generated by the activities. There are a number of things both children and adults can participate in. Feehan detailed some of the different experiences available. “If you want to blast the trooper you can take some shots with a Nerf gun at some of the stormtroopers. There is also our big trash compactor set. We’re charging $5 for that. If you’d like to do Jedi training with the Saber Guild, that’s going to be a $5 activity. The activities are very family friendly priced, so that you can choose to do what you want to do.”

Another source for donations is the raffles, with many collectibles and event tickets available. “There are going to be some incredible raffles. We’ve gotten some great donations from some local vendors, including Joebba’s Palace, who’s going to be there as a vendor. They donated a large TIE fighter worth about $200 that we’re going to be raffling off. There are some large Star Wars baskets and other baskets that have other donated items that we’ve gotten throughout the year. There are things like Six Flags tickets, Dorney Park tickets, tickets to different

Mets games, and some other sports memorabilia that was donated by our partners.” Feehan said.

For those who want to take home something crafted, there are handknit items for sale. “The Ladies Council Auxiliary is actually making some homemade knit items, including some baby Grogu dolls, hats and pillowcases with Star Wars themes. These are all things that they’ve handmade over the past two months, which they are donating to sell at the Sci Fi MiniCon. So there will be some neat merchandise there that’s handmade and handcrafted with love, all to raise money for this association.”

Feehan is excited to see where MiniCon goes in the future. Considering its humble beginnings, the event is already a success. “We really hope (to expand) we’re going to see what works, what doesn’t work and what really gets people excited. If we start seeing a real nice crowd attend, we may expand it into an even bigger, better convention next year. We just want to do something that’s for the community, to help support our agency in the most fun way possible. Last year we had over 1000 people and the event was only three hours long, from five to eight o’clock at night. And that was because it came together so late we couldn’t get the venue for the whole day. I think (with this year’s Con running) from noon to five, we’re hoping we’ll have in excess of 2000 people throughout the day.”

PUBLIC STATEMENT HEARINGS TO BE HELD IN PSC CASES 23-G-0225, 23G-0226 - NATIONAL GRID NY AND NATIONAL GRID FOR GAS SERVICE

On April 28, 2023, The Brooklyn Union Gas Company d/b/a National Grid NY (KEDNY) and KeySpan Gas East Corporation d/b/a National Grid (KEDLI)(collectively, the Companies) led amendments to their gas tari schedules proposing to increase their annual gas delivery revenues e ective March 31, 2024. KEDNY proposes to increase its revenues by $414 million (a 28 percent increase in base delivery revenues or a 17 percent increase in total revenues). KEDLI proposes to increase its revenues by $228 million (a 24 percent increase in base delivery revenues or a 14 percent increase in total revenues). Although the actual bill impacts of these proposed changes on any particular customer class will vary based upon revenue allocation and rate design, the Companies state that a typical KEDNY residential heating customer will have a $30.95 average monthly bill increase and a typical KEDLI residential heating customer will have a $28.52 average monthly bill increase.

The Companies state that the rate increases are largely due to the need to invest in critical infrastructure to comply with Federal and State pipeline safety mandates, increased costs to deliver expanded energy e ciency and other demand reduction o erings, and economic factors such as rising cost of material due to in ation, increased contractor costs, and increases in property taxes. The Companies state that their rate lings are focused on delivering safe and reliable service, meeting the needs of customers, and advancing the goals of the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA). The Companies propose to e ectively maintain the current pace of leak prone pipe replacements through a more targeted replacement strategy; aggressively repair gas leaks and target the repair of high-emitting leaks through the use of advanced leak detection technology; continue or expand customer oriented initiatives to ensure energy a ordability, improve customer experience and maintain customer satisfaction; improve the resiliency of the distribution system by investing in automation, safety valves, and storm hardening projects; and continue or expand many CLCPA-supporting initiatives such as non-pipe alternatives, energy e ciency and demand response programs.

“I started out as an actress,” Schreiber said. “I acted all through high school and through Yale as an English major.”

Acting was her career.

“While I was acting, I began writing shows also,” Schreiber said. “I had great success with one of the first shows that I wrote for myself in L.A.”

She began honing her craft, while also tending to her family, which ultimately brought her to New York.

One of her first shows as a producer was called Next Fall . The producer who gave that show to her did so with the advice of learning how to be a producer, how to really dig in and get involved.

“I learned to love to produce shows that I did not write and that I wasn’t going to be in,” Schreiber said. “I saw the joy of birthing somebody else’s baby; I was hooked.”

“Scottsboro Boys changed my life,” Schreiber said. She was a co-producer of that show on Broadway; it was nominated for 12 Tony awards.

She earned the rights and took it to London.

“That is the show that set me up as a producer,” Schreiber said. “People would stop me on the street and share that it was the best show that they had ever seen.”

“On so many levels, Scottsboro Boys has been the most important work that I have ever done,” Schreiber said.

Schreiber has many projects and ideas in the works, always thinking about how to continue to do fulfilling work.

What does it take to break into being a producer? Schreiber shared her advice for people who are interested in show producing.

“Immerse yourself in theater; get a job doing something on a show and find a project that you love,” Schreiber said.

She said that it is important to start small and find people in your existing network when going at show producing.

“Surround yourself with people who love theater,” Schreiber said. “If you want someone to invest their money and their time, you have to have passion and believe in it yourself.

As a play producer, you hold the reins of a production, overseeing every aspect from conception to final performance.

You collaborate with directors, designers, and actors, shaping the artistic vision while managing budgets, schedules, and logistics.

It’s a delicate dance of balancing artistic integrity with practical considerations. You navigate the challenges of securing funding, coordinating rehearsals, and marketing the play to attract audiences.

Schreiber’s work roster presently includes:

On Broadway

Life of Pi

Peter Pan Goes Wrong

The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window

Recently

Death of a Salesman Company

The Lehman Trilogy

A Christmas Carol

Currently Off-Broadway

The Play That Goes Wrong

“I am really proud of all of these shows,” Schreiber said.

She is not a lead producer on all of the shows all of the time, sometimes she’s a co-producer.

When the curtains rise and the magic unfolds, witnessing the transformative power of live theater makes every effort worthwhile.

Happy 59th Birthday To Public Transportation On Long Island

July, 2023 marks the 59th Anniversary of federal government support for public transportation. The success of public transportation can be traced back to one of the late President Lyndon Johnson’s greatest accomplishments which continues benefiting many Americans today. On July 9th, 1964 he signed the “Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964” into law. Subsequently this has resulted in the investment over time of several hundred billion dollars into public transportation.

Millions of Americans today on a daily basis utilize various public transportation alternatives. They include local and express bus, para transit vehicle, ferry, jitney, light rail, subway and commuter rail services. All of these systems use less fuel and move far more people than conventional single occupancy vehicles. Most of these systems are funded with your tax dollars thanks to President Johnson.

Today we have the MTA and its various operating agencies, including NYC Transit subway, bus and Staten Island Railway, Long Island Rail Road, Metro North Rail Road, MTA Bus along with Nassau County’s NICE bus system. Chartered by the State Legislature in 1965 as the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Authority, it was created to purchase and operate the bankrupt

LIRR. The MCTA changed its name to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority in 1968 when it took over operations of the NYC Transit Authority. Previously, in 1953, the old NYC Board of Transportation passed on control of the municipal subway system, including all its assets, to the newly created NYC Transit Authority.

In Nassau County, we have Nassau Inter County Express (NICE) and City of Long Beach bus systems. In 1973, Nassau County purchased equipment, routes and some facilities of numerous private bus operators most of whom were experiencing financial difficulties. These private bus operators, included Bee Line, Rockville Center Bus Corporation, Utility Lines, Schenck Transportation, Inc., Hempstead Bus Corporation,

Jerusalem Avenue Bus Lines, Universal Auto Bus, Roosevelt Bus Lines, Stage Coach Lines, Hendrickson Bus Corporation and others. Nassau County followed up that same year entering into a lease and operating agreement with the MTA to continue providing local bus service. This resulted in creation of the Metropolitan Suburban Bus Authority. MSBA was followed by Long Island Bus and as of January 1, 2012 Nassau Inter County Express. Many of the same routes operated by MSBA, LI Bus and NICE can be traced back to the various private bus operators. Suffolk County has Suffolk County Bus and Town of Huntington Area Rapid Transit (HART) Bus..

There is also New Jersey Transit, Port Authority Trans Hudson (PATH) subway, NYC Departments of Transportation Staten Island Ferry and Economic Development Corporation private ferries. Using MTA Metro or OMNY Cards provides free transfers between the subway and bus. This has eliminated the old two-fare zones making public transportation an even better bargain. Purchasing a monthly LIRR or MTA subway/bus pass reduces the cost per ride and provides virtually unlimited trips. Employers can offer transit checks which help subsidize a portion of the costs. Utilize this and reap the benefits. It

The Mysterious Orange Haze

In the late ‘60s, Jimmy Hendrix released a song titled “Purple Haze,” which contained the following lyrics:

Purple haze all in my eyes

Don’t know if it’s day or night

You got me blowing, blow my mind

Is it tomorrow or just the end of time?

I don’t know about you, but what occurred here in the first week of June certainly blew my mind, except it was an orange haze.

Although the strange atmospheric condition was present early in the week, it peaked here on Long Island sometime in the afternoon on that Wednesday. People were reaching for their handy COVID masks again, trying to prevent those microscopic orange particles from entering their respiratory system.

If you did happen to venture outside that day, the afternoon sky looked surreal with an

ominous glow, more akin to being on the surface of Mars. To be safe, officials advised the entire Long Island population to stay indoors. This reminded me of every apocalyptic rendition of the future I’ve seen in movies, depicting the sun blotted out, the daytime sky darkened, and most of the human population living underground.

Facebook newsfeeds were flooded with pictures depicting

supports a cleaner environment. Many companies allow employees to telecommute and work from home. Others use alternative work schedules which afford staff the ability to avoid rush hour gridlock. This saves travel time and can improve mileage per gallon. Join a car or van pool to share the costs of commuting.

The ability to travel from home to workplace, school, shopping, entertainment, medical, library etc. is a factor when moving to a new neighborhood. Economically successful communities are not 100 percent dependent on automobiles as the sole means of mobility. Seniors, students, low and middle income people need these transportation alternatives. Investment in public transportation today contributes to economic growth, employment and a stronger economy. Dollar for dollar, it is one of the best investments we can make.

What better way to honor the late President Johnson and all that has been achieved these past 59 years in public transportation by continuing funding the federal Highway Trust Fund and Mass Transit Account. Happy Birthday!

(Larry Penner is a transportation advocate, historian and writer who previously worked for the Federal Transit Administration Region 2 New York Office.)

As a curator of five or six oak trees in my backyard, our property is inundated during May with fine yellow dust, accompanied by what we affectionately call the “squigglies.” The dust is everywhere and clings to every surface, while the squigglies form tumbleweeds and roll down the street, causing Massapequa to look more like Yellowstone. I use an entire container of window wash in my car every spring.

We are prisoners inside until mid-June when the yellow menace abates, causing us to spend an entire weekend hose-washing every square inch of my patio and outside furniture. Outdoor Memorial Day barbeques are

But this mysterious orange haze wasn’t coming from my backyard oak trees. That wood-burning fire-pit smell wasn’t coming from any of my neighbors. The smoke from a distant fire was coming from, of all places, our neighbors in the true North. O, Canada!

Unfortunately, Canada is experiencing unprecedented wildfires that have already damaged almost 10 million square miles. Firefighters from all over the world, including the US, have joined with the Canadians to bring these fires under control. But the smoke has to go somewhere, right?

There’s quite a few neat things about having a grass yard, from the feeling of walking on that green carpet in your bare feet to the smell of fresh cut grass. But did you know that grass also makes a pretty great whistle?

Here’s how to whistle with a blade of grass:

Step one: Find the right blade for your whistle. It should be medium width and about four to five inches long.

Step two: Pinch the grass between your thumb and finger.

Step three: Sandwich the grass between the chubby part of your palms.

Step four: Keep the grass tight and stiff between your thumb and palm.

Step five: Press your thumbs together. Step six: Blow!

Make a basket with your fingers to let the sound out. It takes a few tries to get it just right.

Badgers

Badgers, according to the Nature Mapping Program, are brown fur-covered mammals with short legs and a low profile. Their head appears pointed and small for the body, and they have short ears and a short, furry tail. They are found primarily in the western Canadian provinces, western United States and south throughout the mountainous areas of Mexico. They prefer to live in dry, open grasslands, fields and pastures. They are not true hibernators, but during the winters they tend to spend much of their days relaxing. They are known for their digging and ability to tunnel rapidly through soil. And if threatened, they attack explosively with hissing, growling and biting.

Did you know that badgers have keen vision, scent and hearing and that they can live to up to 26 years in captivity? They also help to control rodent populations. Check back next week to learn about another animal that starts with the letter C!

Conjunctivitis: What Is Pink Eye?

BY KIERSTAN BOYD specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Conjunctivitis—often called “pink eye”—is inflammation of the conjunctiva from infection or allergies. Your eyes are red and swollen (inflamed), and sometimes they have a sticky discharge. You can have conjunctivitis in one or both eyes. Some types of pink eye are very contagious (easily spread from person to person), but many others are not.

Conjunctivitis can be caused by a virus, bacteria or by allergies.

Nearsighedness Is A Public Health Crisis

Nearsightedness has risen dramatically over the last 50 years. If nothing is done to help slow the increase, half the world’s population may be nearsighted by the year 2050. That means much more than a lot of people in glasses. It means a lot of kids today are at risk of developing vision-threatening eye conditions tomorrow. That’s why the American Academy of Ophthalmology is sharing information about myopia and its progression. People who have myopia, also known as nearsightedness, can see close-up objects clearly, but objects farther away are blurry. Myopia that begins in early childhood often worsens as the child grows. If these changes are too extreme, it can be hard to correct the blurriness with glasses or contact lenses and the risk of potentially blinding eye conditions rises, including retinal detachment, glaucoma, early cataracts and myopic maculopathy, a leading cause of blindness world-wide.

4 Wear your glasses.

While more research is required to understand why myopia is on the rise, new treatment options are available to slow the disease in children so the most devastating consequences of high myopia can be avoided. Visit www.eyesmart.org for more information on eye health.

Give your eyes a break. Do you spend a lot of time looking at a computer, phone, or TV screen? Staring at any one thing for too long can tire your eyes. Give your eyes a rest with the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look about 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

Bacterial and viral conjunctivitis are easily spread from person to person. Allergic conjunctivitis is not contagious.

Viral conjunctivitis is the most common type of conjunctivitis. This type of pink eye is very contagious and often spreads through schools and other crowded places. It usually causes burning, red eyes with a watery discharge. Viral conjunctivitis is usually caused by the same virus that causes runny nose and sore throat in people with the common cold.

Bacterial conjunctivitis is also very contagious. An infection from bacteria causes this form of pink eye. With bacterial conjunctivitis, you have sore, red eyes with a lot of sticky pus in the eye. Some bacterial infections, however, may cause little or no discharge. Sometimes the bacteria that cause pink eye are the same that cause strep throat. Allergic conjunctivitis is a type of pink eye that comes from an allergic reaction to pollen, animals, cigarette smoke, pool chlorine, car fumes or something

else in the environment. It is not contagious. Allergic pink eye makes your eyes very itchy, red and watery, and the eyelids may get puffy.

Bacterial and viral conjunctivitis can be quite contagious. The most common ways to get the contagious form of pink eye include:

·Direct contact with an infected person’s bodily fluids, usually through hand-to-eye contact.

·Spread of the infection from bacteria living in the person’s own nose and sinuses.

·Not cleaning contact lenses properly. Using poorly fitting contact lenses or decorative contacts are risks as well.

·Children are the people most likely to get pink eye from bacteria or viruses. This is because they are in close contact with so many others in school or day care centers. Also, they don’t practice good hygiene.

—Kierstan Boyd writes for American Academy of Ophthalmology.

A 17-year-old high school student stayed up all night to finish his college applications and, in the morning, he looked in the mirror and noticed that his eyes were yellow. A 32-year-old woman developed a viral upper respiratory infection with a lowgrade temperature. On a routine visit to the doctor, her eyes were noted to be yellow. A 45-year-old man is seen by his doctor for a routine physical examination. His laboratory tests reveal an elevated bilirubin. Further testing shows no other abnormality other than a mildly elevated indirect bilirubin. A 23-year-old man returns from the gym after a heavy workout, looks in the mirror and notices that his eyes are yellow. What commonality do these people share? They all have jaundice (yellowing of the eyes) and they all are affected by a genetic disorder called Gilbert’s syndrome. Gilbert’s syndrome is a benign condition. It does not cause any harm. It is extremely common occurring in about five percent of our population. The syndrome is caused by a decreased level in the enzyme, glucuronyl transferase, which conjugates bilirubin.

THE SPECIALIST

David Bernstein, MD

It is an autosomal recessive, hereditary condition. Gilbert’s syndrome is not associated with any increased disease or mortality. This syndrome is usually diagnosed after puberty and is more common in men than in women. Affected individuals often come to medical attention after a fast, during an infection, after vigorous exercise or in any period of extreme stress as these circumstances can lead to decreased bilirubin conjugation and therefore an increase in indirect bilirubin levels. The

physical examination of these patients is usually normal except for some mild yellowness of the eyes. Laboratory tests other than an elevated bilirubin should all be normal.

There are no therapies needed for Gilbert’s syndrome as it is a

benign condition. Interestingly, some studies have suggested a decreased colon and rectal cancer risk in people with Gilbert’s. This, however, has not been proven. The good news here is that not all jaundice is concerning.

25 Ways To Get Kids Moving At Home

BY CHRISTY HINKO chinko@antonmediagroup.com

The importance of kids’ fitness over the summer break cannot be overstated. With schools closed and children having more free time, it is crucial to encourage and prioritize physical activity during this period. Engaging in regular exercise and staying active offers numerous benefits that contribute to a child’s overall well-being and development.

Summer break often leads to a more sedentary lifestyle, with children spending extended hours indoors watching television, playing video games, or using electronic devices. This lack of physical activity can have adverse effects on their health. Regular exercise helps combat obesity, improves cardiovascular health, and enhances muscle strength and flexibility. It also helps maintain a healthy weight, which is especially important considering the rising rates of childhood obesity.

In addition to the physical benefits,

kids’ fitness during summer b reak promotes mental and emotional well-being. Exercise stimulates the release of endorphins, often referred to as “feel-good” hormones, which can help reduce stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression. Physical activity fosters better concentration, cognitive function, and overall brain development, which can positively impact academic performance when children return to school.

Engaging in outdoor activities and sports during summer break also provides valuable opportunities for social interaction and the development of important life skills. Team sports, for example, promote cooperation, communication, and teamwork, while also teaching children about discipline, dedication, and sportsmanship. Participating in physical activities with friends or family members helps build strong relationships and creates lasting memories.

Parents and caregivers play a crucial role in encouraging and facilitating kids’ fitness over the summer break. They can organize family outings to parks, beaches, or hiking trails, enroll children in summer camps or sports programs, or simply set aside dedicated time for outdoor play. By prioritizing physical activity and instilling healthy habits during this break, parents can set their children on a path towards a lifetime of fitness and well-being.

Kids’ fitness during the summer break is of utmost importance. It not only helps combat sedentary behavior but also promotes physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Encouraging children to stay active, engage in outdoor activities, and participate in sports not only benefits their health but also fosters important social and life skills. By prioritizing fitness during this break, parents and caregivers can empower children to lead active and healthy lives long after summer ends.

Here are 25 ideas, provided by the American Heart Association for getting kids to move more.

1. Run in place for 30 seconds

2. Dance party for one minute

3. Stand up and sit down 10 times

4. Read standing up

5. Hot lava! Keep a balloon in the air without touching the ground (make it harder by only using heads or elbows

6. Jumping Jacks

7. Do the hokey pokey

8. See how many squats you can do in 15 seconds

9. Stand up, touch your toes

10. Wall sit while reading

11. One-minute yoga

12. Stretch your hands high over your head

13. Arm circles forward for 30 seconds, arm circles backward for 30 seconds

14. 10 frog jumps

15. Standing mountain climbers for 30 seconds

16. Stand on one leg, put your hands up, put your hands out to the side

17. Five lunges on the right leg, five lunges on the left leg

18. Practice spelling, do a squat for every vowel

19. Run in place for 30 seconds, check your heart rate

20. Practice spelling by doing a jumping jack for each letter

21. 30-second plank

22. Practice math problems, do a jumping jack every time the answer is an even number

23. 20 leg lifts

24. Ball-toss spelling practice. Toss the ball and say a letter then toss the ball to someone else to say the next letter

25. High knees for 30 seconds

Mix and match some of these ideas for brief bursts of activity or by randomly selecting one from the list to complete each day.

Keto Is Most Popular Diet

New data reveals the most popular diet in New York with the ketogenic (keto) diet taking the top spot.

The research conducted by FitnessVolt analyzed Google data to determine which popular diets interest New York residents the most.

The ketogenic (keto) diet took the top spot in the findings. There are 46,113 average monthly searches for keto diet related search terms in New York, more than any other popular diet. The keto or ketogenic diet replaces a large portion of carbohydrates with fat and protein. Fat makes up most of the diet. The benefit here is that you cut back on a lot of carbs such as soda and white bread.

The second most popular diet in New York is the Mediterranean diet. The diet has 33,371 average monthly searches for terms related to a Mediterranean diet within the state. Based on foods from the Mediterranean such as whole grains, fruits, nuts and seeds, the benefits of a Mediterranean diet, according to many studies, include reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and increased lifespan.

In third place is the DASH diet with an average of 8,032 monthly searches being made in New York.

Meaning ‘Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension’, the aim of the diet is to prevent and control hypertension. The diet doesn’t allow alcohol, added sodium and foods that are high in saturated fats, among others.

Paleo ranks fourth with 7,801 average monthly searches being made for the diet in New York. Otherwise known as the ‘caveman’ diet, the diet consists of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, fish, eggs, nuts and seeds. The paleo diet has helped in lowering blood pressure, aiding weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity.

Snack Better This Summer

BY CHRISTY HINKO chinko@antonmediagroup.com

Eating healthy snacks this summer is a great way to stay refreshed, nourished and energized while enjoying the season. With an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables available, there are plenty of delicious options to choose from. Snacking on these wholesome foods can help you maintain a balanced diet and support your overall well-being.

Opt for refreshing snacks like watermelon, berries, and cucumbers to stay hydrated and cool during the hot summer days. These fruits and vegetables are not only low in calories but also packed with essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They provide a natural sweetness and are a great alternative to sugary treats.

Incorporating protein-rich snacks like Greek yogurt, hummus or mixed nuts can help keep you full and satisfied between meals. These snacks provide a good balance of macronutrients and can help stabilize

blood sugar levels, keeping your energy levels steady throughout the day.

Another healthy snacking option is homemade smoothies or fruit popsicles. Blend your favorite fruits with a base like almond milk or yogurt for a refreshing and nutritious treat. You can also experiment with adding leafy greens like spinach or kale to boost the nutritional value.

Remember to plan ahead and pack your snacks when heading out for summer activities. By having healthy options readily available, you can avoid reaching for processed snacks or fast food when hunger strikes.

Embracing healthy snacking habits this summer not only supports your physical health but also enhances your overall enjoyment of the season. So, grab a juicy piece of fruit or whip up a nutritious snack, and savor the flavors of summer while nourishing your body.

Never let it be said that Belinda Carlisle is someone who neatly fits into one genre. The California native’s musical origins started out in the fertile Southern California punk scene, first as blink-andyou-miss-it drummer for The Germs before making her mark fronting future Rock and Roll Hall of Famers The Go-Go’s. Mid-’80s solo success found her pivoting into becoming a pop singer with a string of Top 20 hits including 1986’s “Mad About You,” the 1987 chart-topper “Heaven Is a Place on Earth” and 1988’s “I Get Weak”

plunging into French-sung standards (2007’s Voila) and a collection of Sikh chants set to music (2017’s Wilder Shores). Her latest project, the recently released Kismet EP, is a return to the sexuagenarian vocalist’s pop roots, her first since 1996’s A Man and a Woman. Interestingly enough, this batch of new songs penned by Diane Warren came out of a random meeting between Carlisle’s son Duke and the Grammy-winning composer just as Carlisle was looking to slow things down in her life.

“I wasn’t planning to do anymore English-speaking pop songs in the same vein as Kismet,” Carlisle explained. “My son ran into Diane at a coffee shop in L.A. and he introduced himself. She said, ‘Oh my God, what is your mom doing?

Get her on the phone.’

So they called me and it was out of left field.

My head was spinning. She told me to get to the studio because she had hits for me.

I didn’t say it out loud but I was thinking I wasn’t sure I wanted to do that because it’s a big commitment and I was in the head space of slowing down like I said. But you don’t say no to Diane Warren, so I went to the studio. And she played me ‘Big Big Love,’ which I immediately fell in love with and I said, ‘Okay, let’s go.’ So that’s how it happened. Hence, the name Kismet, which means coincidence, chance meeting, happenstance or something magical. It was all kind of a whirlwind making it and having it out. But if you had told me two years ago that I’d be doing press for new material, I would have said you were nuts.”

With these plans to hit pause on the backburner, Carlisle is currently doing runs on the East and West Coast following a swing

through the UK in February and planned dip into Australia for a sold-out string of dates by year’s end. As for the Go-Go’s, that is a chapter Carlisle said is closed despite a recent flurry of activity in the past decade including a Broadway musical based on the group’s songs (2018’s Head Over Heels), a documentary (2020’s The GoGo’s) and a postponed reunion tour all capped off by the group’s 2021 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

“I think it’s finished,” she said.

“Everybody has their own lives. It had to stop at some point. I think for some of us, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was a great way to cement the legacy of the band. Then I got on the phone with Pat Smear—we were in our first band together—The Germs. And we thought it was funny to go from The Germs to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame—who would have guessed? It was probably one of the best evenings of my life. It was exciting. To feel that wave of love from the audience that night was pretty amazing. And then of course Drew [Barrymore]’s induction speech was incredible. Where do you go from there? It wasn’t like everybody was on the same page, but most of us were and we decided to call it a day.”

With this current return to English language pop, Carlisle plans to resurrect a pre-coronavirus full-length project tentatively titled Once Upon a Time in California.

“That’s the project I was working on before the pandemic that I need to finish up,” she said. “I’ll probably finish it up at some point next year. That will happen next year and I’m sure it will be out the end of next year or the year after. There’s no hurry.”

WHERE LONG ISLAND WINS!

Carlisle was more than happy to share a trio of long-players that helped shape her music tastes early on.

The Beach BoysPet Sounds (1966) “I grew up in Southern California. I think the Beach Boys and Brian Wilson shaped my taste in music. They are part of my DNA.”

Queen - Queen II (1974)

“Queenwas the first rock band that I was crazy, crazy about. That was before the punk movement. It was the most amazing music ever. I listened to that on repeat. That kind of shaped a lot of my ideas about melody.”

Roxy Music - Siren (1975)

“That was an album I heard at art class and introduced me to a whole new genre of music. I discovered Iggy Pop and the rest is history.”

Belinda Carlisle will be appearing on July 17 at Sony Hall, 235 W. 46th St., NYC. Visit www.sonyhall.com or call 212-997-5123 for more information. She will also be appearing on July 18 at NYCB Theatre at Westbury, 960 Brush Hollow Rd.. For more information, visit www. livenation.com or call 877-598-8497.

EMface, the state-of-theart medical technology, is disrupting the aesthetic industry and it is now available right here in Roslyn Heights. We had a chance to speak with Dr. Wayne Wertheim, medical director of Island Medical Laser, about this groundbreaking skin rejuvenation procedure.

Dr. Wayne Wertheim Courtesy of Island Laser

“EMface is a revolution in facial treatments,” Wertheim said.

By emitting both synchronized radio frequencies (RF) and high intensity facial electromagnetic stimulation (HIFES) energies, it simultaneously affects the skin and muscles.

“EMface is non-surgical, has no downtime, no needles, no suturing,” Wertheim said. “It is a relaxing procedure and you need about four 20-minute treatments initially once a week for four weeks.”

Maintenance for this procedure is approximately once or twice a year after the initial treatment.

“It is for anyone who wants to have some facial rejuvenation,” Wertheim said. “It is primarily geared toward somebody who is 40 to 60 years old who believes they need a facelift, although we are doing treatments on much younger people too.”

Wertheim said more younger clients are familiar with the machine and its success. “This might be because of social media,”

EMface candidates are men or women who want to firm their skin and define their features to look fresher and more youthful but don’t want surgery or invasive treatment. Epileptics, pregnant women and anyone who has an implant from the neck up (including metal plates and pacemakers in the shoulder area) are not candidates for the treatment.

EMface is the first device on the market utilizing the simultaneous application of both Synchronized RF and HIFES. Synchronized RF remodels and smoothes the skin by heating the dermis and increasing the levels of collagen and elastin fibers. The HIFES technology restores and elevates the support of facial tissues by selectively contracting muscles and increasing density and quality of muscle structure.

“It is not as dramatic as a facelift; it does not replace a surgical facelift, but it does limit the need for Botox or any neuromodulator; people need less of that, less injected filler after using the EMface machine,” Wertheim said. “The treatment gives the face a nice glow, a nice lift, helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.”

The treatment series is evaluated at six weeks and then again at 12 weeks.

“The results take time because it takes your body that long to manufacture your own collagen,” Wertheim said. “People come in and say, ‘I have a wedding or a bar mitzvah coming up,’ and in that case, some do choose to supplement with filler or a neurotoxin like Botox.”

This could be the magic wand we have been waiting for.

Island Medical Laser and Island EMface is located at 118 Glen Cove Rd. in Roslyn Heights. Visit www.islandemface.com to learn more or call 516-299-5500 to schedule a consultation.

HOME & DESIGN

Test Your Home For Radon

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer and the “State of Lung Cancer” report reveals that it is detected at high levels in about 14% of homes in New York. The American Lung Association in New York is urging everyone to test their home for radon.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas emitted from the ground. Radon can enter a home through cracks in floors, basement walls, foundations and other openings. Exposure to radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and is the leading cause of lung cancer in people who have never smoked. Here in New York, about 14% of radon test results equal or exceed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) action level of 4 pCi/L, according to the Lung Association’s “State of Lung Cancer” report.

This beautiful expanded cape at 10 Frances Ln. in North Hicksville on a cul-de-sac sold on June 30 for $769,000. It has four bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The first floor includes a master bedroom and an additional bedroom with a renovated full bath. There is a beautiful new eat-in-kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The home has a large living room also. The second floor has two large bedrooms with a renovated full bathroom. The newly finished basement has a large utility room and storage room. The driveway holds four cars, leading to the detached two-car garage. The property is 60’x 120’ and includes a lush green backyard with PVC fencing.

“Radon is responsible for an estimated 21,000 lung cancer deaths every year and is the leading cause of lung cancer in people who have never smoked. Since radon is odorless, tasteless and colorless, the only way to detect radon in your home is to test the air. This is why it is critical for everyone to test their home,” said Trevor Summerfield, Director of Advocacy for the Lung Association. “Radon Action Month is the perfect time to learn more about this dangerous gas and take action to protect yourself and your loved ones.”

Do-it-yourself radon test

kits are simple to use and inexpensive. EPA urges anyone with radon levels at or above 4 picoCuries per liter (pCi/L) to take action to install a mitigation system in their homes. Both the EPA and the American Lung Association recommend that mitigation be considered if levels are greater than 2 pCi/L. After high levels are detected, a radon mitigation system should be installed by a radon professional.

A typical radon mitigation system consists of a vent pipe, fan, and properly sealing cracks and other openings. This system collects radon gas from underneath the foundation and vents it to the outside of your home. If you need to have a radon mitigation system installed, contact your state radon program for a list of certified radon mitigation professionals.

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Caring for others gives you a natural lift, as long as you keep a balance. Past a certain amount of giving, your energy will be drained instead of boosted. ere’s a kind of internal regulation system to set up and pay attention to here involving an awareness of your energy levels and your resources for refuelling.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A major theme this week is the search for meaning, which is an ongoing process. Does it relax you to know that what you gather from relationships, culture and even from your own stories is always changing? Self-re ection will lead you to new understanding of your purpose and a fresh way to view your history.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). e ancients listened their way through the wild to nd their food and avoid becoming the food of a predator. ese days, listening is still one of the top skills for getting along in life, and it will be your strength this week. You’ll put an ear to the “grapevine,” hear approaching opportunity and sensitize yourself to nuances of communication.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It will take time for these improvements you’re making to fully blossom in your life. When results seem meager and it doesn’t all line up logically, accept that as a normal part of the process and have faith as you follow the directions a little longer. Something nonsensical will sort itself out by the end of the week as deeper reasoning emerges.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). How can you answer the needs of those around you? is is the magic question to keep asking because the discovery will go deeper and deeper. You’ll also be honing social skills, especially the sort you employ for networking. Experiment with di erent approaches, topics and takes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Managing the various components of a relationship can be more di cult than balancing on a tightrope, and for certain high-stakes relationships, the result can feel as elating, the consequences as dire. e use of a balancing pole will stabilize the endeavor. Shared routines, a mutually understood language and common goals will give you the e ect.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll once again be reminded of your core similarities in the kinship of humanity, even though you may seem to be thinking very di erently from everyone you’re around this week. It’s not yet time to share your ideas or your unique mental process, but that hour is coming. For now, keep working with the aim of clarity and relevance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). ere can be a uidness to your beliefs. is isn’t wishy-washiness, but sophistication. e reasons to believe things that aren’t technically real may include optimism, grace, delusion, hope, denial, vision, to name a few. While beliefs can change, your values, like altruism and kindness, remain.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s all humming along this week, and your natural inclination will be to relax and let the wheels turn. Smart! If you throw on the brakes, it will be hard to get back to your current momentum. Also, attention will ow your way, and it’s up to you to de ect it or use it to your advantage.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). e word “wild” is often associated with abundant energy, but in the actual wilderness, sleep is top priority. Tigers sleep 16 hours a day. Opossums and armadillos clock in 18 hours. Since the most energetic version of you will be the best rested one, make sleep more of a priority this week.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You can be who you want to be. One de nition of identity: a story you tell yourself about who you are. ere is not one truth, but many true options for your focus. You’ll press into malleable parts of your personality and shape your thinking to align with new goals and aspirations.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It can be daunting to try the new thing, but what you gain from daring to venture into uncharted territory is worth the risk. Another version of you waits on the other side of doing. You look forward to seeing what qualities will be acquired through the invaluable gift of experience.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Even as you enjoy a bountiful year, you’ll be happy not to have exactly all you need because the fun is in reaching out and connecting with others. Collaborations bring love and money into your world. Record things as you go, as these experiences will add up to a new philosophy of sorts. More highlights: You’ll endeavor a 10-week study that ends in new friends, skills and investments. You’ll witness magic in a place and return several times to share it. Developments for people in your inner circle will involve and delight you.

CONTRACT BRIDGE

A sure-fire proposition

Solution:

By Steve Becker

point, declarer is in a position to guarantee the contract regardless of how the missing cards are divided! But he must first take several preliminary steps to assure a favorable outcome.

Declarer starts by ruffing the eight of hearts high. He then cashes the A-K of diamonds. If the suit is divided 3-2, or if East holds four diamonds to the queen, the worst that can happen is that South loses a diamond trick.

Opening lead — king of hearts.

The finesse is a wonderful device, but this does not mean declarer should utilize it just because the opportunity for its use exists. Because there is usually an element of luck inherent in the success or failure of a finesse, a competent declarer should always look for an alternative line of play to improve on his chances.

Consider this deal where South wins the heart lead with the ace and plays the A-K of trump, both defenders following suit. At this

©2023

But even if, as in the actual case, West turns out to have four (or five) diamonds to the queen, the slam is still ice-cold. Declarer next leads a club and, after West follows low, plays the eight from dummy! East wins with the nine, but it doesn’t matter what he does next. A club return into dummy’s A-K-J allows South to discard his two remaining diamonds, while a heart return lets South discard a diamond as he ruffs with dummy’s nine of spades. Declarer’s other diamond then goes off on a high club.

Note that West cannot foil the endplay by playing the ten of clubs on the club lead toward dummy, as declarer can counter by covering the ten with the jack. East wins with the queen but then finds himself in the same predicament described above.

Showcase Format

For more than ten years, the Long Island Lacrosse Showcase for boys attending local high schools has been recognized as the premier event that allows players to display their talent for college coaches. The Long Island Lacrosse Showcase format originally was featured in the former New York Empire State Games. The Nassau County Lacrosse Coaches Association and the Suffolk County Lacrosse Coaches Association recreated the format during 2009.

Players compete during tryout rounds to determine the top athletes at each grade level. Fifty players in each county for each grade level are selected to compete in the Final 50 games. The 25 players selected from the Final 50 games represent their county at their grade level at the Long Island Lacrosse Showcase Nassau versus Suffolk Games. Players for these games also earn roster spots to represent their county at the New York State Regional Championships held during the summer.
