The Town Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously approved variances on April 28 that would allow the conversion of warehouse space at 515 Broadhollow into mixed-use office space that would feature a gym, a swimming training center, a sport fitness and training center and add space to the existing restaurant there, known as The Refuge.

Because of the proposed conversion from warehouse to office, the Town noted that the “majority of the subject building will change from an ‘industrial building’ to an ‘office building.’ ” The now-approved plan calls for a 20,000 square foot gym, 10,000 square foot swim, exercise and training center and 12,411 square feet for a sport and fitness training center.

Additionally, the plan calls for adding 5,262 square feet, which

TOWN OF HUNTINGTON

Congressman Turned Director Debuts Film

By Jano Tantongco jtantongco@longislandergroup.com

Coming full circle, former congressman from Huntington Robert Mrazek has dived into the world of filmmaking, directing the aptly named film, “The Congressman,” which debuted April 29.

When the film was screened that evening at the Cinema Arts Centre in Huntington, Mrazek greeted patrons at a reception before the screening of the film.

In the film, disgruntled congressman Charlie Winship, played by Treat Williams, makes an escape to a remote island off Maine to get away from troubles on Capitol Hill, media haranguing and public criticism. There, sees the functioning of a community with world-weary, yet fresh eyes.

In Mrazek’s real-life congressional career, he retreated to Monhegan Island, 14 miles off the coast of Maine to decompress.

“I remember being struck by the contrast about what I was reading about in Washington and the island culture. Members of Congress from both parties refusing to work with one another, a total stalemate to the detriment of our country,” he said.

However, in the microcosm of the island, he witnessed how its residents, despite not always getting along, were able to “work together to survive and make the island function.” This inspired not only his eventual move to the island, but also the plot line for his film. He now lives there six to eight months in the year, spending the rest of his time in Ithaca, New York.

“There are a lot of films today that are very dark, very bleak, very violent.

This is a feel good film,” Mrazek said.

“I think the film makes you think, but it doesn’t tell you how to think.”

Before migrating to Monhegan, Mrazek spent nearly 50 years in Huntington, appreciating its “small town kind of atmosphere.”

He was a government major at

Former Congressman Robert Mrazek greeted patrons at Cinema Arts Centre on Friday for the premiere of his first film, “The Congressman.”

Cornell University, graduating in 1967. Then, after a brief stint in the Navy, he attended London Film School with dreams of becoming a filmmaker.

However, in April 1968, the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King prompted Mrazek to carefully reflect on his path. He thought what he was doing was “trivial” compared to the social issues of the day. He added that while in the Navy, he became opposed to the Vietnam War and its toll on human life.

So, he began working as an aide for U.S. Senator Vance Hartke in 1969.

Mrazek joked that this started his “40year detour” from filmmaking.

In 1976 he was elected a Suffolk County legislator, representing Centerport as a Democrat.

There, one of the most pressing issues he stood against was the corruption scandal surrounding the creation of the Southwest Sewer District.

Mrazek said the $932 million project was full of intentional overruns.

According to the New York Times, the county’s district attorney filed a civil lawsuit in federal court in 1981 against two county politicians, three contractors and a pipe supplier. One contractor was found guilty on seven counts for involvement in the “extortion, racketeering, and bribery associated with the sewer district,” accord-

ing to reports in The Long Islander.

“By attacking the project, it engendered a good deal of animosity from many people in my own party who saw it as something very beneficial to them, as opposed to the people,” said Mrazek, adding that he was also receiving death threats at the time.

Mrazek was later elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1982, where he penned legislation that established protocols to protect films in their original form.

His favorite director Fred Zinnemann, who directed the Academy-award-winning film “From Here To Eternity,” visited Washington in 1987 to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Congressional Arts Caucus. He stayed with Mrazek for a week.

That week also marked the death of renowned director John Huston, who directed classics like the Maltese Falcon. In their discussions, Zinneman told Mrazek how Huston’s films were among those being “mutilated” by being optically reconfigured to adapt to television or sped up to accommodate more commercials.

“It resonated with me. And, I decided I would try to undertake a law that would stipulate for the first time that film is an art form worthy of protection,” Mrazek said.

He pushed the passage of the National Film Preservation Act, which would prevent significant alterations made to a film without the creator’s permission.

“It was very hard to get that law passed because the studios were opposed to it. They owned the copyright to the films, and they felt they were legally in a position to do whatever they wanted with them—paint the mustache on the Mona Lisa, if you will,” said Mrazek.

It was signed into law by President Ronald Reagan in 1988.

Additionally, Mrazek was swept up in the House banking scandal of 1992, being one of 22 members who were found to have overdrawn their House checking accounts without penalty from the House bank. Mrazek explained that members of the House had been using such accounts since 1832, drawing against their “constitutionally guaranteed” incomes.

After this, Mrazek decided not to pursue re-election, but he said that’s not why he retired from politics.

“I could have run for re-election for the house and been re-elected. I was worn out from it,” Mrazek said, wishing to pursue his own passions and return to family life. “My children were 11 and 13, and I hadn’t seen very much of them up to that point.”

He began to establish himself as a writer, publishing eight books, mainly historical fiction and nonfiction.

And, in October 2012, he was able to embark on his decades-in-themaking goal of being a filmmaker, by starting to write the screenplay for “The Congressman.” He said he was able to complete it within a few months, since he was so familiar with the territory.

“It’s a lot easier to become a lobbyist than a novelist as a former member of Congress,” he said. “When you become your writer, it’s you, your imagination and a word processor.”

The film was released on April 29 and is available in select theaters.

He cited a main target of the facilities as millennials, saying that “you have to give them a different workplace than their grandfathers.”

He said he is inspired by the way that Goldman Sachs and Google model their own workplaces, which give their employees dine-in options, as well as amenities like gyms.

“We’re very excited about it. It’s something that everyone will be in favor,” said Biancaniello.

He noted that the current industrial tenants will soon be leaving, with

Restaurant Depot out by the end of this month, and Access Direct to be gone by the end of September. Existing tenant, EVO Payments International, will stay in the building, occupying 65,000 square feet of office space.

Traffic engineer Thomas Mazzola said he didn’t see a conflict in uses of the varied proposed facilities when it came to parking issues.

A 99-space variance was required.

“The proposed gym and health facilities for the most part will not compete with the restaurant and the office space,” said Mazzola.

However, Harold Rechler, an attorney representing We’re Group, explained that the firm manages the Huntington Quadrangle, which abuts 515 Broadhollow to the north.

Rechler believed the proposed parking was inadequate.

“For our office space, we have four cars per thousand. I also call upon my own experience renting office space, and can tell you the office use has grown greater than four cars per thousand,” said Rechler at the ZBA hearing.

He added that there has been spillover into the Quadrangle’s lot

from the restaurant.

Tom Abbate, the attorney representing 515 Broadhollow LLC, noted that he visited the site last June at the restaurant’s peak hours, and the Quadrangle’s lot was “gated and locked closed.”

“We went over this to make sure that we wouldn’t have just enough parking, but that we would have more than ample parking,” said Abbate.

With the ZBA decision in hand, Biancaniello noted that the next step will be securing tenants for the new facilities.

By Jano Tantongco jtantongco@longislandergroup.com

Albert Schmitt, owner of Albert H. Schmitt Family Farms, located at 6 Bagatelle Road in Dix Hills, has been running the farm with his wife Dottie for decades.

He said he was “definitely against” a proposed surcharge on Suffolk County property owners’ water bills aimed to help treat wastewater.

“We all want to clear the water, but it’s going to hurt more people than that,” he said. “1,000 gallons don’t go far.”

County Executive Steve Bellone gathered with advocates from both the environmental and business spectrum, along with elected officials, to announce a proposed referendum that would give voters a choice of imposing a surcharge that would levy an additional $1 per 1,000 gallons used on their water bills.

Starting out farming potatoes, the Schmitt family has farmed their plot since 1853. Schmitt explained that while some farmers “out east” pump their own water, his farm relies on the Dix Hills Water District.

“It would definitely hurt us. It’s going to be an extra tax on our business.” said Schmitt. “I just don’t know how many gallons we use.”

Larry Johnson, manager of Spuntino restaurant on Old Country Road in Dix Hills, said he felt such a fee was inevitable, adding that you can’t fight the government.

“You gotta pay taxes somehow,” he commented.

According to Town of Huntington

trict serves. This compares with the county’s household estimate of $73 per household. That figure was derived from synthesizing data from the Suffolk County Water Authority, as well as local water districts, from 2014, said county spokeswoman Pam Robinson, For the proposal to be set in motion, Bellone said Suffolk offi-

cials need issue a home rule message to the state that would authorize the measure to be placed on the ballot in November as a referendum. If passed through the state Senate and Assembly and signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, county voters would then be able to have their say on Election Day in November.

Woman Abandons Pets, Dog Dies

By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com

A South Huntington woman was arrested Thursday on amimal abuse charges for allegedly abandoning six pets in her apartment, including a dog that died.

The landlord of the Beverly Road home called police at 9:10 p.m. after hearing excessive barking coming from the apartment and realizing that she had not seen her tenant, Melissa Buchanan, for a few days, police said.

When Second Squad Detectives and the Suffolk County SPCA arrived at the scene, Suffolk SPCA Chief Roy Gross said a miniature Australian shepherd dog was found dead in a cage.

The remaining live animals found at the scene were a cat, a longhaired Chihuahua mix dog, an albino boa constrictor, and two leopard geckos, Gross said.

Police said Buchanan, 27, returned while officers were at the scene and admitted that she had not

been home for several days.

“Leaving an animal for more than 12 hours is illegal,” Gross said, adding that Buchanan was gone for more than two days.

Detectives charged Buchanan, with six counts of animal cruelty under New York State Agricultural Law. Gross said the surviving dog and cat were taken to The Town of Huntington Animal Control on Friday for examination and the reptiles were sent to Long Island Game Farm in Manorville.

“People need to take this serious,” Jerry Mosca, director of the Huntington Animal Shelter, said on Monday. “If you don’t take care of your pets, you’re going to be arrested and you’re going to do time.”

Mosca added that the cat was taken to Grateful Paw Cat Shelter, which is operated by the League For Animal Protection in East Northport.

Since the investigation is still ongoing, the cat and dog are not up for adoption at this time.

Gross said that until a necropsy is

Buchanan was arraigned on April 29 and pleaded not guilty. Bail was set at $2,000 cash or $4,000 bond.

Her next court date is scheduled on Tuesday, May 3.

She could face up to six years in jail if convicted.

How To Select A Qualified Financial Advisor

By Jon L. Ten Haagen asktheexpert@longislandergroup.com

About a year ago I wrote a piece on ‘How to Choose a Qualified Financial Planner.’ We spoke of the qualifications to be a ‘financial planner’ (none) vs. a Certified Financial Planner (CFP), which is a result of a lot of education and training. And what organizations to call to check on the records on a planner.

Now, I want to get into the specific questions you should ask a potential planner, and what answers you should hear. Here is how to get the most value from your appointment.

Your relationship with your CFP is a partnership. The better you are able to communicate your needs and understand your options, the more productive your appointment will be, and the more likely you are to get the guidance you need. Before your appointment, gather all our financial documents, bank statements, investment statements, insurance policies, tax filings (at least one year) wills, trusts, etc., to bring with you. Have in mind what you are not satisfied with your current advisor(s). Think about where you are now financially and where you would like to be, and then together we can create a game plan to get you there. Write down

professional qualifications. Make sure the CFP is board certified (currently) so you’re getting the services you need and want by someone who is qualified to assist you with your specific financial and investment goals and needs. Pay special attention to factors that distinguish this CFP from others you’re considering.

Does the CFP have more experience working with your needs? Has the CFP received special honors, or disciplinary sanctions? For more details, use the Financial Planning Association (FPA) website to confirm and verify information critical to your future.

In a perfect world, the right CFP would be right around the corner. In reality, you may need to sacrifice some convenience to find the CFP who best meets your needs.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Rabies Clinic DEAR EDITOR: The Suffolk County Department of Health Services (SCDHS,) and the Town of Huntington will offer free rabies vaccinations for dogs, cats on May 15, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Huntington Town Hall, 100 Main Street.

The clinic is available to all county residents; however, the quantity of vaccine is limitedt. All dogs must be on leashes and all cats and ferrets must be in carriers.

Rabies, a deadly disease caused by a virus that attacks the central nervous system, is most often seen among wild animals such as raccoons, bats, skunks and foxes, but any mammal can be infected with rabies. Pets and livestock can get rabies if they are not vaccinated to protect them against infection.

New York State and Suffolk County laws require that all dogs, cats and ferrets be vaccinated against rabies.

Vaccinating pets not only provides protection for the animals but also acts as a barrier to keep the rabies virus from spreading between wild animals and people.

On March 24, 2016 the Nassau County Department of Health reported that a raccoon from Hicksville tested positive for rabies. This was the first positive raccoon found in Nassau County since 2007. Suffolk County’s last recorded rabid raccoon was confirmed in January 2009.

Between 2006 and 2009, rabies was identified in 19 raccoons near the Nassau-Suffolk border in the northwestern portion of the Town of Huntington.

• Be sure your pet dogs, cats and ferrets are up-to-date on their rabies vaccinations. Vaccination protects pets if they are exposed to rabid animals. Pets too young to be vaccinated should be kept indoors and allowed outside only under direct observation.

• Keep family pets indoors at night.

Do not leave them outside unattended or let them roam free.

• Do not attract wild animals to your home or yard. Keep your property free of stored bird seed or other foods that may attract wild animals.

Feed pets indoors. Tightly cover or

put away garbage cans. Board up any openings to your attic, basement, porch or garage. Cap your chimney with screens.

• Do not transport or relocate any wild animals.

Report all animal bites or contact with wild animals to the Suffolk County Department of Health Services at (631) 853-0333 weekdays, 9:00 a.m.

– 4:30 p.m. Animal bites or contact with wild animals can be reported to the department at (631) 852-4820 outside normal business hours. If possible, try to contain the animal that so it can be tested.

NEWS FROM OUR NEIGHBORS Overdose Prevention Seminar Next Week An overdose prevention seminar is being held at Floral Park High School on Wednesday, May 11.

Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano and Legislator Vincent Muscarella have partnered with the Floral Park Police Department and the Floral Park Memorial High School to the free seminar, which will run 7-9 p.m. at the 210 Locust St. high school.

Residents will learn how to administer Naloxone – a lifesaving antidote that can reverse the fatal effects of an Opiate overdose. They will also learn the warning signs of drug addiction, treatment options, personal stories of recovery, and more.

“Through education, awareness enforcement and treatment, my administration and the Heroin Prevention Task Force are diligently combatting heroin and opioid abuse throughout Nassau,” Mangano stated.

“These free Overdose Prevention Seminars continue to help save lives and keep families whole.”

At least 200 Nassau residents died from heroin and prescription painkillers in 2015. Hundreds more were saved from overdoses by those trained to administer Naloxone.

Naloxone has been used by paramedics and emergency room doctors

for decades, to save lives. But a little known 2006 state law allows citizens to administer Naloxone in an attempt to save a life, without fear of liability.

County has already provided Naloxone training for more than 6,200 people since 2012. At least 30 trainees have reported using that knowledge, and the Naloxone kit they were given, to revive someone overdosing on Heroin or painkillers. Naloxone is administered through a nasal spray, and is provided at no charge to trainees over the age of 18.

“We must do all that we can to help the families and loved ones of those suffering with addiction,” Muscarella stated. “Please attend this important event.”

Social Work and OASAS Continuing Education Credits are available for the training, as the Nassau County Office of Mental Health and Chemical Dependency – and the Mental Health Association of Nassau County – is recognized by the state Education Department’s State Board for Social Work as an approved provider of continuing education for licensed social workers.

To attend the two-hour workshop , RSVP to elaikin@nassaucountyny.gov.

Life&Style FILM

By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com

Growing up in a cultured family, with an Indian father and a mother who is of Italian and Puerto Rican descent, Raj Tawney, director of publicity and promotions for the Huntington’s Cinema Arts Centre has respects diversity and works to bring generations together through film.

“For me the community is everything,” Tawney, 29, of Commack, said. “I’ve always been told that I bridge the gap between the two generations, the older and the younger, because I’m this young person, I’m enthusiastic, and I want to support the younger generation, but I also truly respect the older generation.”

When Tawney got the opportunity to host the cinema’s “Staff Pick” series, he selected Alfred Hitchcock’s 1943 film, “Shadow of a Doubt.” Prior to the film he gave a speech to the audience, and later hosted a Q&A after the film.

“Everybody stayed, everybody was engaged, and they couldn’t believe that this 29-year-old was delivering a speech to an audience of people who probably saw the film when it first came out in the 40s,” Tawney said. “And that’s why they all call me this ‘old soul.’”

Working at the CAC since July 2015, promoting the cinema’s approximately 30 monthly events, Tawney has introduced programs like the first CAC podcast series, its first Italian cinema series, which features local film historian, Irene Eckert.

Tawney, who previously worked in radio as a host and reporter, said this skill set helps him produce the podcast, which was originally intended to promote the CAC. For the podcast series, which started in August 2015, Tawney and Rene Bouchard, director of development, produced a 21 episode series interviewing members who have been with the cinema since it started in 1973.

“What I love about this place is it has 43 years of history and the stories that come along with it and I always loved talking to all the older folks

‘Old Soul’ Bridges Generation Gap With Film

Raj Tawney, director of publicity and promotions at the Cinema Arts Centre, gets behind the scenes at the cinema, standing next to a film projector. who tell me stories of what was going on here,” he said. “So we recorded these stories and interviewed some of the most fascinating members who have been here since the beginning.”

As the podcast series was a success, helping with the cinema’s funding campaign, Tawney said they will produce another series in May, “Cinema Stories.”

Along with this, when Tawney came to the cinema, he campaigned to bring in Eckert to the theater to host an Italian cinema series.

Although Tawney said the idea didn’t take when it was presented to the cinema 10 years ago, he was persistent, bringing Eckert to host an Italian cinema series.

“We tried it out and it was a packed

house for the first film in January,” Tawney said, “Now it’s become a regular series, and she has her own audience. It’s amazing to watch it grow.”

Working in the art scene since he was young, Tawney ran his own music promotions/management gig throughout college, graduating from Farmingdale State College in 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in professional communications.

After college, Tawney worked for Book Revue from 2012-2013 as director of new media, interviewing authors and celebrities like Jessica Alba, Dennis Rodman and Al Roker.

From spring 2013-spring 2015, Tawney worked as public relations and media manager/videographer for the Huntington Arts Council, through

which he co-ran SPARKBOOM, a program that promoted local artists and musicians.

Now working for the cinema, which is located at 423 Park Avenue, Tawney wants to continue to use the arts to bring different people together.

“When you’re sitting in a film from the 40s or 50s and you have seniors on one side of you and you have young people fascinated about watching an old film on the other side of you, it’s the most amazing thing in the world,” Tawney said. “At the end of the day, whatever your difference of opinion or lifestyle is you come in and you enjoy a movie together.

“That’s the best place I could be in my life.”

Maybe you missed The Band when they played Woodstock, or the thousands of times they performed before their 1976 Last Waltz breakup tour.

Your best chance to experience the 1960s Southern rock country band’s soulful performances comes to The Paramount this week in the form of The Weight, a reunion band that brings together some of The Band’s original members along with players from lead singer the late Levon Helm’s later bands.

The Weight was created by Jim Weider and Randy Ciarlante to keep alive the music of the emblematic rock band whose hits include Up On Cripple Creek, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down and I Shall Be Released, along with the song that inspired their name.

Weider took over as lead guitarist, singer and songwriter when Robbie Robertson left The Band, touring with the group until the end. Ciarlante, who was recruited by Helm, shared vocal and drumming duties on tour with the group for more than 10 years. They’re joined in The Weight by former Levon Helm Band member Brian Mitchell

The Weight, featuring past members of The Band and Levin Helm band, play The Paramount this Saturday, May 7. (piano, vocals, accordion and harmonica); Marty Grebb (vocals, accordion, sax), who performed on the 1990s reunion albums Jericho and Jubilation; Albert Rogers (vocals, bass), a long-time collaborator with Weider who has played with Levon Helm and Garth Hudson of The Band.

Recreating the sounds and experience of an emblematic era, The Weight takes its name from one of The Band’s signature songs. The Weight masterfully weaves real life characters and biblical allegory in a story of a traveler’s encounters on the road when he stops in a town called Nazareth.

It’s thick with bible references, the characters are real life ones writer encountered on the road with Levon Helm and fellow members of the Southern Soul rock band.

Robbie Robinson, a Canadian who has writing credits for the song on The Band’s 1968 “Music From The Big Pink” album, said he wrote it in a rush of inspiration during time spent in America’s South.

“To me... going there was like going to the source.… it was like, ‘Whoa, this is where this music grows in the ground, and [flows from] the Mississippi river. My goodness.’”

The Band performed the song as part of its set at Woodstock and perhaps thousands of times more before their 1986 Last Waltz breakup tour and in 2004 Rolling Stone put it at No. 41 on its 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list.

If you missed it at Woodstock, your next best chance to hear the song live comes Saturday, May 7 at The Paramount when members of The Weight perform for one night only; doors open at 7 p.m. for 8 p.m. showtime. Tickets: $20-$49.50 at the box office.

Meet Your Destiny At Fado Restaurant

By Tes Silverman info@longislandergroup.com

Fado means fate and destiny.

With that, Alison Steindler wants diners at her Fado restaurant to be destined for companionship.

“I want my diners to enter as strangers and leave as friends,” she said, adding that Fado is not just a business to her, it’s a Portuguese experience that encompasses food, music and service in one setting.

Steindler has owned the 10 New St. restaurant in Huntington village for six years since August 2010. It may be a small venue, but it’s sure to make an impression on any diner who walks in.

Once inside, diners are greeted by a cozy atmosphere that emanates from this venue. Once settled into seats, the fragrant smell of dishes being prepared and served will make any diner want to explore what Fado has to offer.

To begin the journey with Portuguese cuisine, which is known for seafood, pork and game, nothing

ecompasses it better than appetizers like Salada De Polvo or octopus salad ($7); Chourico na Brasa ($12); or Afternoon in Portugal ($18).

The octopus is soft and chewy but not rubbery, and served with Fado’s house vinaigrette, boiled new potatoes, red onions and scallions. They complement the main focus, which is the octopus.

For chorizo lovers, the Chourico na Brasa is the one to have. This aged, smoked Portuguese chourico is flame roasted to order, is very tender and packed with flavor for an appetizer that will wake gustatory senses,.

Afternoon in Portugal is also worth ordering. A platter filled with white anchovies, marinated Mediterranean spicy olives, imported aged Portuguese cheese, chilled pork belly and parmesan toast points will give diners a taste

The Chourico na Brasa is Fado’s flame roasted chourico that comes with a show.

Fado owner Alison Steindler presents shredded salt cod and double cut pork chop entrees.

Afternoon in Portugal appetizer introduces various flavors and textures Fado’s signature flan is delicate and creamy. of different textures and flavors of what’s to come.

Chef Felipe Guzman, who has been with Fado for five years, entices diners with entrees like Bacalhau a Bras or shredded salt cod ($26); Carne de Porco Aletejana or marinated cubes of tender pork ($27); and Costuleta de Porco or double cut pork chop ($27).

Of the three, the shredded salt cod may be the dish to have. The cod is not very salty and tossed with potato slivers, sweet onions, eggs, parsley and black olives, resulting in a dish that’s delicious and packed with flavor.

Desserts like flan ($8.50) are a great way to end the Portuguese gastronomic experience. Creamy and light, the flan is unlike some custards that are dense. In addition, Fado’s version is not as sweet as other flans, making it very easy to finish every last bite.

For the lunch crowd, Fado offers complete lunch specials seven days a

week for $18.95. With lunch hours Monday-Saturday 11:30 a.m.-4 p.m. and Sunday 11:30 a.m-3 p.m., diners can enjoy a glass of red, white or rose wine with choices like Fado’s creamy seafood bisque as an appetizer and PEI mussels with a roasted pepper puree as an entree, to name a few.

A Healthy Mouth Equals A Healthy You

By Dr. Inna Gellerman info@longislandergroup.com

A healthy mouth and a healthy body go together like a toothbrush and toothpaste, braces and retainers, lips and lipstick. Make good oral hygiene a lifelong habit to protect your overall health.

Let’s start with what can be seen by a doctor when examining your mouth: evidence of diabetes, measles, oral cancer, AIDs, irritable bowel syndrome and even heartburn.

Did you know that your mouth is home to billions of tiny microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, yeast and fungi, to name a few. Some strains of bacteria produce toxins that attack the bad bacteria. It is a biodiverse environment.

In addition to making your teeth and gums look good, daily brushing, flossing and rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash protects your body by keeping the levels of bacteria under control. Several studies have

reported that people who have moderate or advanced gum disease are at higher risk of having serious illness, especially heart disease and strokes.

Gum disease, or gingivitis, is caused by a buildup of plaque above and below the gum line. This is a result of poor brushing habits and a diet high in carbohydrates and refined sugars. It is believed that bacteria from the infected gums can leave the mouth, travel into the bloodstream and attach to the heart.

Studies have also shown a relationship between gum disease and stroke. People who had strokes were more likely to have had an oral infection than people who had not had strokes.

Gum disease has been linked to high levels of inflammation, so cardiac patients are encouraged to take good care of their teeth and may require antibiotics prior to any dental procedures.

There have been studies indicating that gum disease also increases the likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s disease. As with heart disease and stroke, the inflammation created by periodontal disease is thought to be involved in long term memory and cognitive abilities. This is a risk factor that you can control, and one that takes relatively little effort to put into place.

When teeth are straight and properly aligned along the jaw line, it is far easier to reach all of the surfaces of the teeth for cleaning. When teeth are crooked, squeezed up next to

each other in the wrong angle or hidden behind other teeth, it can be very difficult to brush properly and the tight spaces are perfect breeding zones for bacteria.

Here’s how you can keep your teeth, gums and body healthy: • Brush, floss and rinse regularly.

• See your dentist for regular checkups, every six months or every year, as per your dentist.

• Replace your toothbrush when bristles look worn out. That’s every three to four months.

• Use an electronic toothbrush if you are not sure about your brushing skills.

• Eat a healthy diet, with limited sweets and brush well after sticky or sugary foods.

Dr. Inna Gellerman is a diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. She founded Gellerman Orthodontics, in Huntington, in 2003, and is actively involved with many community organizations.

Hills West’s Tom Rooney gets to choose the team for lacrosse invitational (Continued from page A1)

it provides NCAA lacrosse coaches with a terrific opportunity to scout uncommitted ‘best in class’ players that have met a rigorous selection criteria,” said Chris Boland, general manager of the National Prospect Invite. “We’ve made it easier for coaches to find outstanding talent for their colleges and universities by prequalifying the student athletes and giving them a two-day lacrosse forum in which to demonstrate their skills.”

As a representative, Rooney reached out to more than 150 high school coaches in the eastern region to select the 40 athletes who will have the opportunity to showcase their skills to college coaches.

“My job is to make sure that we’re going to bring the top 40 kids to represent our area because that’s who the college coaches want to see, top level kids,” Rooney said. “We can make some matches and these kids

can find a home with some colleges, get an education and play lacrosse.”

The 40 athletes selected will team up to face other regions, such as a teams from Maryland, Pennsylvania, upstate New York, New Jersey and Virginia, Rooney said, adding that those chosen athletes will be announced in late May or early June.

“I’m excited for the event,” Rooney said. “I think it’s going to be one of the best showcases in the lacrosse community this summer.”

Before coming to Hills West high school, Rooney led many lacrosse teams, including Syosset High School as the defensive coordinator, head coach for Port Washington High School and head coach for the Bermuda National Team. He currently teaches social studies at the Syosset High School.

design, mailings with mail merge, shipping, document shredding, faxing, scanning, private mailbox rental and more. The end result, is a onestop-shop.

Diana Fogarty, graphic designer, said the changes came about due to the changing industry.

“The industry, as a whole, printing, graphic design, customer service and retail, all those things have evolved so much in the last few years based on the internet and technology,”

Fogarty, 36, of Huntington, said. “We adapt to all of those things.”

With that, Nobles said the business services many businesses within the area, including printing the Northport Yacht Club’s monthly newsletter and catalogs for the Connolly Music Company in East Northport.

Desiree Adikes, manager and graphic designer, said the shop does have a lot of work, but its staff works “to make sure it gets done in a timely manner.”

Adikes, 24, of Northport, said that

most work can typically be completed in the same day.

She added that every day at Northport Copy brings about something new, whether it’s designing or getting to know people, and it’s a lot of fun.

Fogarty said this is where “the adaptability” and “deep level of customer service” come in, helping workers to form bonds with their clientele.

“They’re established relationships, and from what I’ve seen in my time

here is that those relationships lead to other ones,” she said.

With other employees dedicated to customer service, like Carrie Parker, 20, of Northport, who Nobles referred to as “the happy kid,” Northport Copy doesn’t say no to customers.

Nobles said, “They can’t stump us,” adding that making customers happy is what he loves about the job.

“We want to be the say ‘yes’ company for everybody. Bring it to my counter and we’re going to do it for you.”

At half time, with the Thunderbirds down by one point, Hodgson emphasized that the objective was about being a team player.

“What we mean by that is don’t try to do it all yourself if there’s other people out there that are capable,” Hodgson said. “Just run our offense and play relaxed.”

“We had seven different people score goals and our defense came up
