The Three Village Chamber of Commerce is working with local businesses to ensure owners and employees are up to date when it comes to a new state law. In October of 2018, New York State passed a law that requires all businesses, including churches and nonprofits, even if there is only one employee, to have a written sexual harassment policy and post it in a highly visible area, as well as provide each employee with a copy of the policy. All employees must be trained once a year and new employees soon after their start date, according to Christine Malafi, a senior partner with Ronkonkoma-based law firm Campolo, Middleton and McCormick. Recently, Malafi led a discussion at the chamber’s March meeting titled “What the Sexual Harassment Law Means for Business.” The attorney shared insight into the new laws with local business owners and how they impact workplace policies and culture. The discussion kicked off a new service where the chamber will sponsor two sexual harassment training workshops for employees of member and nonmember companies led by Malafi. The workshop will discuss what sexual harassment is, what one is allowed and not allowed to do and what to look for if harassment is suspected. Malafi said she has found that many businesses aren’t up to date when it comes to their sexual harassment policies. “It’s very important because it’s the MeToo era,

and if someone makes a complaint against you or an employee, if you can’t check the boxes — yes, complied with this, yes, complied with that — you may find yourself facing liability,” she said. Andy Polan, the Three Village chamber president, said the goal is to make the mandated training more accessible and affordable for members. An alternative for business owners, he said, would be to work directly with an attorney or insurance carrier who specializes in the law or take an online course. He said he has heard such services could cost $1,500 or more per business or practice, which he said can be a big hit for a small business or nonprofit. “We want to help our members, and it’s adding value to their membership,” Polan said. Malafi said the new law now covers independent contractors and other contracted workers. In the last few years, Malafi said she has seen an increase in sexual harassment cases. “The number of cases filed with the EEOC [Equal Employment Opportunity Commission] and similar agencies have doubled in the past few years,” she said, adding she doesn’t think actual occurrences have doubled, but people are more likely to report offensive language or action. Workshops are scheduled for May 10 at 9 a.m. at the Ward Melville Heritage Organization’s Educational & Cultural Center and May 21 at 6 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Express at Stony Brook. Rates for chamber members are $15 per employee and $25 per person for nonmembers. Preregistration is required and can be made online at www.3vchamber.com or by check to Three Village Chamber, P.O. Box 6, East Setauket, NY 11733.

Faith organizations gather to pray for New Zealand terrorist victims BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM On March 28, North Shore residents of various faiths gathered in Selden to show their support for Muslims around the world. In response to the March 15 terrorist attacks in New Zealand mosques, a prayer vigil was held outside the Islamic Association of Long

Island where more than 100 people, including members from the Three Village Interfaith Clergy Association and Building Bridges in Brookhaven, held hands and formed a ring around the mosque during a moment of silence. The symbol of solidarity took place after a brief prayer led by Rabbi Paul Sidlofsky of Temple Isaiah of Stony Brook. Syed Rahman, current president of the Islamic Association of Long Island, said he was touched by the number of attendees. “I’m glad so many people made the time to come over with busy workday schedules,” he said. “This is a big turnout. I think this is the biggest turnout since I’ve been president.” Tom Lyon, a member of Building Bridges in Brookhaven, said more than half a dozen people from the organization attended. One of the group’s founding principles, he said, is based on a motto the members adapted when it was formed — “The most radical thing we can do is to introduce people to each other.” “Sadly, on Long Island today, developing a diversity of friendships requires far more effort than it should,” Lyon said. Rev. Steven Kim, pastor of Setauket United Methodist Church, who is also part of the

More than 100 people showed up at the Islamic Association of Long Island March 28 to lend their support for Muslims around the world and pray for the victims of the New Zealand mosque shootings. Photos by Rita J. Egan

Three Village Interfaith Clergy Association, attended the event. “It was a night for Three Village residents to stand by the Islamic community regardless of our religions or persuasions in the wake of the tragedy in New Zealand,” he said. “It would be beneficial for us to pursue further opportunities in enhancing the mutual understanding and assuring the same humanity among the different ethnic and

religious groups in our community.” After the prayer vigil, the Three Village Interfaith Clergy Association hosted a discussion held inside the mosque titled “Belief and Truth from a Multifaith Perspective: Finding Unity in Diversity.” Professor Chris Sellers of Stony Brook University’s history department and director of the Center for the Study of Inequality and Social Justice moderated the discussion.

3V previews 2019-20 budget, names new Murphy JHS principal BY ANDREA PALDY DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Three Village is set to stay within the 2.53 percent cap on the tax levy increase. Jeff Carlson, assistant superintendent for business services, made the announcement March 27 as he previewed the 2019-20 Three Village Central School District budget during its board meeting. Based on numbers released Monday in the state budget, Three Village will receive about $34.7 million in state aid, not including funding for capital projects. The amount is $287,000 above last year’s aid package and $175,000 more than estimated in Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D) proposal in January, Carlson said. Among the district’s biggest expenses are retirement costs, which will decrease by about $1.2 million, and health insurance, which will increase by about 2 percent, the assistant superintendent said. Nevertheless, the district will not have to cut programs or staffing to stay within the cap, he said. Decisions on programs and services will be based on enrollment and student need,

and in coming weeks, the administration will meet with building principals to assess course requests and enrollment, Carlson said. Next year, for the first time, the district will offer its free prekindergarten program — currently housed at Nassakeag Elementary — at each of its five elementary schools. Morning and afternoon sessions, taught by Three Village teachers, will meet for two and a half hours five days a week. This will be at no additional cost to the district, officials have said. To supplement the program, the district will add a tuition-based, half-day prekindergarten enrichment program. The “fully selfsustaining” extended day will offer enrichment in STEM, art, music and movement during morning and afternoon sessions. Carlson said that there are already 100 students enrolled for the up to 200 spots across the district. Tuition — $500 a month — will also cover the cost of building age-appropriate playgrounds at each of the schools, he said. The board is scheduled to adopt next year’s budget at the April 10 meeting. Three Village residents will vote on the budget May 21, at the district’s secondary schools. Residents zoned

Minnesauke principal Brian Biscari was appointed principal of R.C. Murphy Jr. High School. His appointment is effective July 1. Biscari will take over for Richard Pulaski, who has been serving as interim principal since Vincent Vizzo retired Feb 1. Vizzo, who was Murphy’s principal for 14 years, had worked in the district for 34 years. The district is interviewing candidates to head Minnesauke, where Biscari has served as principal since 2011, when he joined the school district.

Kim DeCristofaro, a representative from the company and a parent of Ward Melville graduates, thanked Three Village on behalf of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals for “continuing to provide opportunities for students to pursue scientific research.”

Stony Brook Children’s Hospital doctor discusses measles BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM After Rockland County declared a countywide state of emergency last week banning any person under 18 who is unvaccinated for measles from public spaces, Suffolk County issued a recommendation. In a press release, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) and Suffolk County Health Commissioner Dr. James Tomarken urged county residents to make sure they are immunized against measles. Despite the recent ban in Rockland County due to a reported 157 cases of measles since October 2018, there is no immediate public concern in Suffolk. “In light of recent reports, residents should make sure to receive their measles shots to protect themselves,” Bellone said in the press release. “While there is no immediate public health concern in Suffolk County, this should serve as a reminder to do what is necessary out of an abundance of caution.” Stony Brook Children’s Hospital’s Dr. Sharon Nachman, division chief of Pediatric Infectious Diseases and professor of pediatrics, said early symptoms of measles, which is a virus, can be mistaken for the common cold

with a patient suffering from a runny nose, fever and red, watery eyes. She said even doctors can miss the signs of measles, that is until the typical rash of flat red spots appears. The best protection against measles is the measles, mumps, rubella vaccine, the doctor said, and two doses of the MMR vaccine is needed. Measles is highly contagious, and a person could infect others even 60 feet away. She said an unvaccinated person can potentially catch the measles even if they were in the same supermarket or airport as an infected person. “The reason for the isolation is to keep the kids who are at risk from the kids who are incubating the illness, or they don’t know they have measles,” she said, adding there are those who are unable to be vaccinated due to medical reasons. The doctor said anyone born before 1957 more than likely had measles. After 1957, three different vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella were given, and now all are combined into one immunization called MMR. She said one should find their immunization records to see if they received two rounds of each when it was split, or two doses of the MMR vaccine. Once a person gets the measles or the proper doses of the MMR vaccine, they are immune to measles.

Nachman said it’s important to get the full doses, and if a person isn’t sure if they got two rounds of MMR, an extra dose will not hurt them. When she talks with parents who are hesitant about the immunizations, Nachman said she tells them not to be fooled by what’s written on the internet, and to make sure any website they visit has a review process by professionals as anyone can write anything on a blog without checking facts. The doctor also said it’s important to remember diseases such as measles are still in the environment, and just because we don’t have an outbreak right now, it doesn’t mean it’s not possible. She calls immunization “community protection” instead of using the common term “herd immunity,” which describes when the majority of the population is vaccinated, there is less likelihood of an unvaccinated person being infected. “You have to do the same thing for your entire community that you expect your community to do for you,” she said. “That’s what community protection is all about. You don’t want your kid getting into a car unless the driver is wearing a seatbelt and your kid is wearing a seatbelt. That’s what a community does. It protects everyone in the community.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website, cases of measles have been confirmed in 15 states and is still common in many parts of the world. Measles has been brought into the United States by unvaccinated American travelers and foreign visitors, according to the website. Worldwide, an estimated 20 million people get measles. Out of those infected, 146,000, mostly children, die from the illness each year.

To Place A Legal Notice Local officials recognize gender pay gap Email: legals@tbrnewsmedia.com Suffolk County and Town of Brookhaven officials celebrated Equal Pay Day April 2 by vowing to call attention to the gender pay gap between men and women, especially in the sports world. Members of the Island-wide Gender Equality Coalition, soccer coaches and student athletes joined forces at a press conference in Hauppauge to highlight workplace gender discrimination in compensation and call on the U.S. Soccer Federation to end gender discrimination in soccer for the sake of future generations of young women athletes and the integrity of the sport. In addition, they called for women all over the country to sign their petition and help them send a message in the world of athletes and beyond. On International Women’s Day March 8, the U.S. women’s soccer team filed a gender discrimination suit against the U.S. Soccer Federation, citing salary disparities and unequal support, including inferior training, promotion and playing conditions than their male counterparts. Despite consistently greater success on the field than the U.S. men’s soccer team, the three-time world champion, four-time Olympic gold medal U.S. women’s soccer team said they continue to be paid a fraction of the salary paid to men’s team members. They also allege, unequal treatment by the federation often exposes female athletes to more hazardous conditions to practice, train and compete. “Young girls around the world idolize the U.S. women’s soccer players because they exemplify unmatched strength, skill and fearlessness,” said Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket). “Their lawsuit sends a message of solidarity with women worldwide who are fighting for equality in the workplace and presents an important teachable moment for our children about gender disparity

and the ongoing fight for women’s equal rights.” At the Town of Brookhaven board meeting March 27, Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) sponsored a resolution to make April 2 Equal Pay Day within the town, which was passed unanimously by the board. “Pay equity is critically important to having a fair and just workplace,” Cartright said. “Unequal pay and gender discrimination impact a woman as an individual; it impacts her family and the larger society. On a personal level, as the mother of a young girl, I want my daughter to know that her mother fought for equal rights and equal pay for women when I had the opportunity.” In New York State, the gender pay gap, or the earnings ratio of women’s median earnings divided by men’s median earnings, is 80 percent. In 2017, women living in Suffolk County earned 78% of what men earned, according to Hahn’s office. Women who are identified within minority groups fare even worse, with black woman earning 79% and Hispanic woman earning just 58% as compared to white men. Hahn said she created a letter writing campaign and petition about attaining gender pay equality and to help the U.S women’s soccer team. The petition can be accessed at Change. org under the title Pay and Treat Women Soccer Players the Same as Male Players at http://chng. it/k54wZZqJH6 and a sample letter can be found at http://tinyurl.com/yycb3f8v. During the next two months leading up to the World Cup in France June 7, the group hopes to obtain 75,000 signatures for the petition, which they will then deliver to U.S. Soccer Federation officials. A 2015 petition supporting the team garnered more than 69,000 signatures, according to Hahn’s office.

Patriots snare Bulls, 17-12 BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

After the Ward Melville girls lacrosse team dominated the ﬁrst half of the game outscoring Smithtown East by eight goals at 11-3, the Bulls regrouped for the second half and drew within four goals twice before the Patriots dropped the hammer to put the game away, 17-12, at home March 29. Ward Melville senior Courtney Carollo,

bottom inset, led the way with four goals and three assists; 10th-grader Summer Agostino, upper left, followed with three goals and two assists; and senior Lexi Reinhardt, upper right and below left, had an assist and found the cage four times. Also pictured, above center, two Patriots celebrate a score against the Bulls. As of April 1, the win puts the Patriots at 1-1, and the loss drops Smithtown East 2-1 in Division I.

You gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me, and that in all instances of my life, you are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy toward me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days. The request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor has been granted. S.L.T. The

Opinion

Editorial Mixed news for Long Islanders The approved $175.5 billion 2019-20 New York State budget Monday brought some good and bad news for Long Islanders. That bit of good news came in the form of up to $4 billion over five years for the Long Island Rail Road, making the possibility of improvements to the mass-transit system more promising than ever. However, we believe Long Islanders will need to keep an eye on these funds and make sure they are used for the improvements that mean the most to them. From everyday commuters to city day-trippers, many can attest that a ride on the train is no picnic, and the transportation system is in desperate need of improvements. From overpacked train cars during rush hours to numerous delays, many Long Islanders opt to take their vehicles into the city instead of dealing with noisy, dirty trains. A new congestion pricing program in Manhattan will enable LIRR to receive 10 percent of the revenue generated, which will allow funds to be used for capital improvement projects for trains and stations. The program, which will go into effect by 2021, will implement tolls for vehicles passing through Manhattan at 60th Street, with exclusions including FDR Drive, West Side Highway and Battery Park underpass. While legislators have plenty of ideas for the LIRR, including more ADA compliant stations, electrified rails and more train cars — so when there is a problem with a car a replacement is available — this is the time for residents to speak up and let their concerns be heard. Not only do we urge our readers to notify their legislators with what they would like to see improved on the LIRR, we also appeal to the Metropolitan Transit Authority to hold public forums to allow passengers to air their grievances. With the amount of money being pumped into this, it cannot be squandered. On the municipalities side of the budget, however, it’s not all good news. Long Island will see less in local aid and road repair funding. Multiple Brookhaven town officials have sent us opinions and letters about this loss. The town is losing $1.8 million in local aid and almost another $700,000 in road repair funding, a 15 percent decrease in its state highway aid. The permanent 2 percent property tax cap, we hope will allow more Long Islanders to remain here, and not only survive but also thrive. However, it doesn’t compensate for the recent federal capping of SALT deductions, which has meant that many people were unable to claim their entire property tax on their federal taxes. Cost-of-living issues on Long Island are no joke, and while there is certainly a fair amount of political handwringing over budgets, more needs to be done on the state’s side to bring down the cost of living. The additional $1 billion in school aid helps, any loss in local funding does not.

Letters to the editor

New Zealanders share inspiring messages My wife Waveney and I attended a community meeting at a Selden mosque March 28, attended by more than 100 Muslims, Jews, Christians and agnostics. It was prompted by the recent events in Christchurch in New Zealand. There was a very strong police presence outside the building throughout the two-hour meeting — at least five police cars, including one unmarked car that I spotted. I had an opportunity to read aloud to the assembly a sad yet inspiring message from my sister Valerie in New Zealand. All assembled were very impressed and heartened with what she had to say. Several folks came up to us and thanked us sincerely for her message of hope in the face of tragedy. One young Muslim father even invited us to come and visit his family soon for a meal. One rabbi stated that he wished Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand’s prime minister, was the president of the United States. The senior imam at the mosque stated that he had written to Prime Minister Ardern thanking her for steely leadership and wisdom in a time of national crisis. I also submitted my sister’s message to our church minister. It was circulated widely to about 200 parishioners.

This was my statement: My name is Malcolm Bowman. My wife Waveney and I have lived in Stony Brook since 1971. We are both natives of New Zealand. Waveney was present in the country visiting family when the massacre occurred. Her sister Janet, who lives in Christchurch, was out shopping when the urgent order was issued for a citywide lockdown. Thanks to those of you who have expressed outrage and condolences from the recent shooting in two mosques in Christchurch of at least 100 innocent worshippers including children, resulting in 51 deaths with more in critical condition. My sister Valerie who lives in Auckland, about 500 miles north of Christchurch, had the following comments, which I thought were very incisive and succinct. I quote: “Well, we have certainly experienced the most extraordinary week in New Zealand when we have endured terrible shock and tragedy but have experienced such amazingly positive outcomes. Whoever would have thought that our patched gang members would have stood together with our police force and helped guard our mosques, that we would see an image of our Prime

Minister Jacinda Ardern projected onto the Burj Khalifa building in Dubai at night, that news of our immediate change to gun laws would be spread throughout the world, as also have pictures of the millions of flowers expressing a tribute to those who died and support for those of Muslim faith. “There have, of course, also been images of the many thousands who have gathered in New Zealand at vigils with many women who are not Muslim wearing the hijab. Quite extraordinary. It seems that even though we are such a small country as far as population goes, we can pull above our weight to help try to solve the world problem of racial intolerance. Unlike when we were young, New Zealand is now a very multicultural place with so many different languages being spoken. Those who died were from Malaysia, Indonesia, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Somalia. When we were children we were perhaps aware of Chinese residents and Maori and Pacific peoples as well as Europeans like ourselves but little else. The world is becoming a very small place.” Malcolm Bowman Stony Brook

Generation X can learn from actor’s death Amid all of the idiocy of present-day politics and celebrity scandals, we have all too often been remiss in our ability to feel the loss of those who contributed positively to society. On March 4, at the age of 52, Luke Perry passed away after suffering a massive stroke. His loss may not have affected many members of this community, but for those of us who are members of Generation X, it is truly sad. Sad, not only because a good man, a family man who never wreaked havoc on Hollywood and actually had some acting chops has died, but also because it is a reminder that Gen X is slowly slipping away without the slightest recognition. Perry played an iconic character on a cheesy show, “Beverly Hills, 90210,” throughout the 1990s, a show that my

generation related to because it was truly the first of its kind. Daily life was depicted a little more realistically then the modest shows previously aimed at this stage of development and a lot more demurely than present-day television. With Perry’s untimely passing Generation X has been forced to recognize our own mortality. It has also been revealed that Gen X has almost become irrelevant. Those born in the years that encompass this generation — mid-1960s to early 1980s — are stuck in the middle. We have to work twice as hard for half as much, jobs are not intended for the skills we have acquired, and we are suffering medical maladies that were only assumed to afflict those in their golden years. Baby boomers may not be reaping all that they

deserve in retirement, millennials live in fear of opiates and school shootings, and all the while Generation X is quietly dissipating with little cognizance of what is being lost. Perhaps this is a lot to glean from the death of one actor, but it is important to recognize the contributions of an entire generation while we are still here. Baby boomers built this country and millennials are the future, but we are the backbone and, sadly, the good die young. So my fellow Xers, get your checkups, don’t ignore symptoms, have fun with your kids, try to relieve stress, and every once in a while remind everyone that we are still here.

Imagine a sad story behind a vanity license plate

appreciate the joy of vanity license plates. They are like small puzzles that allow me to ponder their meaning while I await two or three trafﬁc lights so I can turn left. Sometimes they are like good movies or artwork, allowing readers to come up with their own interpretation. My wife and I will ask each other what the combination of letters and numbers mean, D. None offering various guesses as if we of the above were on a game BY DANIEL DUNAIEF show, trying to ﬁgure out whether the letters are a message or the celebration of a successful stock that made it possible for the

person to buy that lovely car. They can reveal a car owner’s passions, for skiing, golf or for a particular person. They can also suggest how someone got the car, where the person with the car came from or how many people are in a family. Recently, I came to a trafﬁc light and read a license plate that suggested a sad story. In an inconspicuous maroon car that I would have otherwise overlooked, the license plate had a message of animosity. Wow, I thought. Who would advertise an identity linked to hatred? How sad that each time the person got in the car, the license plate reinforced his or her antipathy. What could have happened that made anger so much more important than any other message or than a random collection of letters and numbers? Then again, maybe it’s the internet’s fault. Traveling along the internet superhighway, people can’t resist sharing their disdain for everyone and everything. Maybe the anger that follows us

on roads and on the heavily trafﬁcked internet world has converged, blending into one laser-like beam of focused enmity. Then again, that’s probably a sociological cop-out. More likely, the car owner, whom I will call Joe, has a life-deﬁning story he’s sharing through this license plate. Joe may have loved someone deeply and for years. He made plans about where they’d live, how many kids they’d have, what they’d do on weekends and where they’d take this small joy mobile on vacations. One day, however, she arrived at a prearranged dinner at a diner. She looked different. Her hair was longer and had been straightened. Instead of her worn North Face jacket, she was wearing a designer coat. Her purse, which Joe noticed when she placed it delicately on the table as if it were made of glass, had also changed. “Hey,” Joe offered. “You look so different. What’s up?” “I am different,” she smiled behind lipstick

someone else had clearly applied. When she refused the bread she usually wolfed down, Joe became nervous. “What’s different?” “I won the lottery. I’m thinking of changing everything about my old life.” “How much did you win?” a suddenly excited Joe asked. “How much is irrelevant. I’ve decided to give you a parting gift. I’m going to buy you a new car.” Joe didn’t know what to say. A car wasn’t what he wanted or expected. Then again, he didn’t want to walk away empty handed. When it came time to pick out a license plate, Joe wanted just the right way to express his frustration over what could have been. He tried options the DMV denied. Finally, he came up with a message that encapsulated a road not taken for his life and his car. Joe regularly drives past the home of the former love of his life, hoping she notices him and the message on his license plate: EVEIH8U.

What fine restaurant dining means to me

friend mentioned an article he had seen that asked the question, “What’s the best restaurant if you’re over 50?” and proceeded to ask me the same question. Now he well knows that I am over 50, and he also knows I eat in restaurants, sometimes for business and occasionally as a social event. In fact, as we have gotten older, my friends and I seem to do less cooking each year and Between more splurging on you and me dinners out when BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF we get together. So it was a relevant question in more ways than one. I don’t know what the article he was referring to concluded, but

I can tell you what is important to me when I dine in a restaurant. First and most critical is the food. It is certainly not the ambience or even the picturesque location. Those last are pleasant enough, but the quality and taste of the meal are most vital. I like food that I would describe as, for lack of a better term, clean. That means the ingredients should be allowed to speak for themselves and should not be buried under cheese or slathered on top with butter. Both of those can make food taste good, but unless the dish particularly calls for those ingredients, they should not drown the main offering. I also like seasoning but again not with a heavy hand. To my mind, a heavily spiced meal knocks out my taste buds. But I know lots of people, even a couple of my sons, like their food “hot.” For me, it is fun to try and analyze what spice or combination of spices make the food so tasty. Sometimes I can tell; sometimes I have to beg the answer from the chef, and surprisingly the answer is usually forthcoming. And sometimes I bring along a dear

friend, who is herself a celebrated chef, to sleuth out the mystery. I don’t have a large capacity for food at one sitting, so I frequently bring home half the meal to eat the next day. That not only makes me feel economical but also not wasteful, and I especially like a meal that will still be tasty when it is reheated. Not all dishes are up to that challenge, but occasionally one, like chicken, will be even better after it has lolled around in its spices in my fridge for 24 hours. When I go out to a restaurant with other people, I need to hear them when they speak. I also do not care to shout while I am chewing. That means it has to be reasonably quiet wherever we are eating. And unless the experience is deliberately family style, which can be fun, I don’t care to be stuffed into a crowd of diners. A moderate distance between tables is nice. So is a comfortable chair. I try not to be interested in the conversation at the next table — although there have been a few exceptions to which I will

admit — and a little privacy is welcome. That also helps to keep the ambience low key. Ditto for the background music, if there is such. I am not looking to have my large intestine jitterbug during a meal. Finally, it is pleasant to have a waiter or waitress who is not conspicuously weighed down by the problems of the world. Although I well understand that being a server in a restaurant is one of the hardest jobs, because pleasing so many different people with so many individual tastes has to be challenging, I prefer not having to deal with someone cranky or impatient. It is helpful when servers introduce themselves by name because it facilitates getting their attention and nicely personalizes the service in both directions. And I feel the tip ought not be an automatic percentage. That’s just a minimum. Exceptional service should be acknowledged in the one way that is most meaningful. That person after all is earning his or her bread, even as we are eating ours.

Health Information from Local Health Care Professionals

Jana Deitch, MD Medical Director, Breast Health Program Breast Surgical Oncology Specialist St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center Dr. Deitch is board certified by the American Board of Surgery and is a fellowship trained breast surgical oncologist. She completed her general surgery residency at Maimonides Medical Center and completed a breast surgical oncology fellowship at Beth Israel and Mount Sinai, accredited by the Society of Surgical Oncology.

A. Every person who comes here for treatment is treated as a person, not a number. We focus on patients and learn their needs, wants, fears and hopes for treatment, without all of the background noise that can come from a large institution. The team of radiologists, plastic surgeons, oncologists and I work closely to customize care for each patient and make sure we’re delivering personalized treatments, instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach. What breast diagnostic and screening procedures does St. Catherine offer? A. We perform all forms of screening and diagnostic breast imaging at our Women’s Health and Outpatient Diagnostic Pavilion. These services include mammograms, ultrasounds, MRIs and all forms of biopsy. We also offer 3D mammography, which provides better visualization of the breast.During standard 2D mammography, the radiologist may need to call the patient back in for a follow-up screening if the results are inconclusive or point to a possible malignancy. Because of the improved visualization of 3D mammography, we can reduce call back rates, which provides more convenience, lower cost and less anxiety for patients.

How often should women be screened for breast cancer? A. Early diagnosis is key to breast cancer survival, so the best thing patients can do is schedule a mammogram once a year as early as age 40. For those with family history or a higher risk of breast cancer, earlier screenings may be recommended. We also offer genetic testing and counseling for high-risk patients. We recommend these patients follow an alternating biannual mammogram and MRI schedule and to follow-up with breast exams twice a year. What treatment options are available for women who are diagnosed with breast cancer? A. An overwhelming majority of women with breast cancer will require surgery at some point— either before or after chemotherapy or radiation therapy. We offer the latest surgical techniques, including partial and bilateral mastectomies, as well as breast reconstruction using implants or autologous flap microsurgical procedures. These procedures use donor tissue from other parts of the body, such as the abdomen or thigh, to reconstruct the breast, which may be favorable or necessary in certain patients.
