Detective Pikachu Channels Noir Nostalgia M

BY CHRISTINA CLAUS

CCLAUS@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

illennials grew up with Pokémon. They filled binders with the trading cards and waited eagerly to find out if they could trade with their friend for a Charizard or Pikachu.

They stared in awe at the television screen as Mewtwo descended into view in the first movie and called out guesses to Who’s That Pokémon? after each of the anime episodes. They opened up their Nintendo DSes each day to try their hands at capturing and battling Pokémon in games like Pokémon Diamond. Then, these millennials got to live out their nostalgia, walking through parks and on beaches to become real-life trainers as they used their cellphones to track down grass or water types with Pokémon Go. Justice Smith (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom) is one of those millennials. Smith grew up collecting those original Pokémon cards, playing Pokémon Gold on his Gameboy Color and even carrying around a

figurine of his favorite Pokémon, Totodile, everywhere he went. Now, Smith will be carrying out the dream of many—interacting with real-life Pokémon—on the big screen. The 23-year-old stars as Tim Goodman, the son of ace detective Harry Goodman,

who mysteriously goes missing. The film follows Tim’s journey through the streets of Ryme City to find out what happened to his father. During this investigation, Tim is joined by Harry’s former Pokémon partner, Detective Pikachu (voiced by Ryan Reynolds),

who, perplexingly, Tim can understand each and every wise-crack, and Lucy Stevens (Kathryn Newton), a junior reporter following the story.

“When the trailer first came out, I forgot I was in the movie because I was just looking at the Pokémon,” gushed Smith of how it felt to be in a film that tapped into his childhood nostalgia. “I was such a fan growing up and this was exactly how I wanted to see them represented with fur and scales and fire and all of the cool textures our special effects team added.

It’s kind of breathtaking when you see the imagery.”

Director Rob Letterman’s (Goosebumps, Monsters vs. Aliens) main introduction to the Poké-verse was as a parent to his Pokémonobsessed 12-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter.

“I figured I was spending so much personal money buying Pokémon cards and video games and toys that the only way I’d make the money back

PIKACHU from page 3A was to sign on and direct the feature film,” Letterman joked, explaining his kids were screaming “yes” before he could even respond when he got the call to direct the film. “I got the call [from Legendary Pictures] and Cale [Boyter] said it would be Detective Pikachu, which was its own video game. He told me a bit about the game, the main character, what the storyline of the game was and that’s what really made the most sense to me. The movie is very funny and irreverent [and has] huge adventure. But it’s really the heart of the film that I love, the themes of connection, hope and second chances and the broader theme of evolution, which is snaked in the whole Pokémon canon.”

Both Smith and Letterman explained that everyone who worked on the film was a Pokémon fan and that some crew members showed up in Pikachu T-shirts almost every day.

While the two concurred that making the film was tons of fun, there was also meticulous care and thought put into the film from the cinematic techniques to the noir style. The Detective Pikachu team traveled back and forth to Tokyo throughout the two-year span of the project, working closely with the

collaboration with the original creators and other divisions of the Pokémon company, GameFreak, the creator of the cards, Ken Sugimori, the original artist who drew Pikachu for the first time. We sent him the concept art and he gave comments.”

In order to get the noir-style that is evident in the film, Letterman explained he pulled in things from 1940s noir movies like The Third Man and 1970s detective cop movies.

“We tried to incorporate this neonoir look; I’m a huge fan of movies like the original Blade Runner and I grew up in Hawaii, so I was born and raised in this cross section of east meets west and I really wanted to make our city a mash up, a bridge between east and west, so that neo-noir look comes through,” said Letterman, shouting out John Mathieson for his work as the director of photography. “We shot in London, everything is location-based and then we dressed the buildings with that Tokyo style, so it’s a mashup of Tokyo and London.”

All of the movie is filmed on actual film to give an organic, gritty look and feel, so viewers could “feel like [the Pokémon] were actually alive,” Letterman said. All of the film was also shot on location—no green screen.

The film incorporated more than 50 unique Pokémon, meaning most of the cast was made up of CGI characters and that Smith was usually acting with something that wasn’t there.

“I had a little practice because I did this movie Jurassic World where I worked with CGI dinosaurs,” Smith said. “That was a little easier because all I had to do was run away screaming. This I had to interact in real time, so that made it difficult, but it was also more just a lot of fun. It reminded

me of when I was a little kid, I used to play with imaginary friends or things like that. It wasn’t that different from playing pretend. The most challenging part was having to work off of something that wasn’t there, although Rob [Letterman] did try to make it an environment where I felt comfortable.”

“Justice and I rehearsed with Ryan [Reynolds] early to just get the flow and the chemistry going and Ryan is such a genius at improv and elevating the script to something that wasn’t even on the page,” said Letterman.

“We rehearsed a lot and then we rehearsed one more time in London with Kathryn, Justice and Ryan, with his crazy facial capture rig we built for his head and went through the whole script. Early on, we picked several pivotal scenes of character moments, the back and forth, they’re in this café just having coffee and the scene in the apartment. I had Ryan there that day, he would stand just to the side of me, acting. We mic’d him and then Justice would look at a hand puppet or tennis ball and they would riff back and forth in the shot. Justice had to keep his eyeline on something different, so it was just a very difficult thing.”

While working with the CGI on location proved difficult, having it all come together in the end and work cohesively was rewarding for Letterman.

“The overall experience was a lot of fun and because I was mixing my childhood with my work, it kind of made it less like work and more like a good time,” said Smith.

Getting Religion With Al Green

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

R

ightfully referred to as “The Greatest Living Soul Singer,” Al Green carries that mantle forward now that the likes of Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Bobby Womack, Solomon Burke, Teddy Pendergrass and Ben E. King have shuffled off this mortal coil since the millennium kicked off. Since that time, Green has kept a low profile, releasing only three studio albums since 2000 and spending most of his time as an ordained pastor, ministering to the Full Gospel Tabernacle Church in Memphis. It’s with this kind of zeal that he turned Radio City Music Hall into a spiritual revival over the course of two nights.

Playing before an interracial audience that skewed older, Green

emerged sporting a tuxedo and a large grin as his 13-member-strong group of musicians pumped up a significant groove. The 73-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer opened with “It Ain’t No Fun to Me,” off of 1972’s seminal Let’s Stay Together. Reflecting someone whose music has been the soundtrack for plenty of romantic interludes, Green had a table on the side laden down with single-stem roses he wound up handing out to a slew of enthusiastic female fans in the front row throughout the night.

Not unlike other artists like Little Richard and Sam Cooke, Green grappled with the push and pull of the secular versus the spiritual. His embrace of religion emanated throughout the evening, whether he was calling out to the crowd for a hearty “Amen” or the extreme humility he showed

RE O

FO R

n 1935, New York, as with the rest of the country, was still in the throes of Depression. A group of enterprising investors got together with a plan to make Queens County the site of an upcoming World’s Fair, a gala event designed to bring millions of visitors—and their money—to Long Island.

It worked. The 1920s was a decade of economic boom and unbridled optimism. The 1930s, economic depression and widespread uncertainty. The United States, however, never lost its old confidence. For those Americans who did have jobs, still the vast majority, income rose 17 percent per annum.

And so, the 1939 fair, depression or no depression, became legendary for its optimistic view of the future. Indeed, “the future” was the main theme of this paean to scientific and technological

Alas, there was the problem of costs.

The fair’s operating budget ran to $67 million. When the fair concluded in October 1940, revenues totaled $48 million. The Fair Corporation, an entity brought into existence to finance and promote the fair, had to declare bankruptcy. From those debts, however, was born a legacy.

To make up some of the money, the corporation sold its famous ride, The Life Savers Parachute Jump, to Luna Park in Coney Island, where it was rechristened the Parachute Jump at Steeplechase Park, a ride that continues to attract millions.

The fair innocently promised “The World Of Tomorrow.” It represented a mixture of piety and innovation.

It opened on April 30, 1939, itself the 150th anniversary of George Washington’s inauguration as president of the United States, an historical event that also took place in New York City. A time capsule for the event contained writings by Albert

Einstein and Nobel Prize-winning novelist Thomas Mann, plus a Gillette safety razor, a pack of Camel cigarettes, a Mickey Mouse watch and “millions of pages of text on microfilm.” The capsule contained nods to America’s agrarian past, such as alfalfa, barley, carrots, corn, cotton, rice, sugar beets, tobacco and wheat seeds. The fair featured a Borden’s exhibit, complete with 150 heifers being bathed, milked and dried in a mechanical fashion.

But mostly, the fair promised a dazzling tomorrow. It opened with an opening ceremony speech by Einstein on cosmic rays, after which the fair’s lights were turned on. Major corporations—RCA, General Electric, Westinghouse, General Motors, General Electric, Ford, AT&T and IBM—dominated the surroundings, showcasing their latest products to spellbound audiences. Einstein’s speech was upstaged by a televised

Planting Fields Foundation Announces 2019 Coe Hall Exhibition From Pursuit to Patronage: Industries and Ambitions that Influenced the Legacy of Mai Coe

T

his exhibition explores the determination of Mai Coe’s grandfather, Captain Peleg Gifford, in the unpredictable and perilous whaling world of the 1800s and her father, H.H. Rogers, whose ambitious pursuit of alternative oil followed the whaling industry decline. The resulting fortune of H.H. Rogers would afford him a life of leisure at sea with his yacht Kanawha.

His career and fortune will also be contextualized as the influence that would eventually enable the Coe’s to purchase the Great Gold Coast estate, Planting Fields, transforming Mai into a progressive patroness of art, culture and design. The influence on the nautical iconography of Coe Hall will also be discussed.

The epic lives of Mai’s father and grandfather are brought to life through objects and visuals that highlight the whaling and oil industries. Designed to engage visitors to consider what life was like for Captain Peleg Gifford, H.H. Rogers and Mai Coe, guests will get to know the family a little better through this exhibition. A clip from the 1922 film Down to the Sea in Ships, featuring authentic documentary-style footage of a whale hunt will also be shown.

Open to the public May 16 through Sept. 30, daily, from 11:30 a.m. to 2:45 p.m., the exhibition is included with the $5 admission fee to Coe Hall. Throughout the season, the foundation will offer a series of related

Daniel Gale Sotheby’s Int’l Realty Promotes Abby Sheeline To Senior Marketing Director

D

aniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty, one of the nation’s leading real estate firms, recently announced the promotion of Abby Sheeline to Senior Director of Marketing. Marion Weiler, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty, made the announcement.

“Abby is playing an integral role in the evolution and growth of our marketing department, which is supporting the expansion of our organization while embracing the monumental technological changes that have revolutionized how we market ourselves and our listings,” said Weiler. “As the Senior Director of Marketing in one of the top residential real estate

Abby Sheeline markets in the nation, Abby is among the leaders of our award-winning marketing team that has set a standard for excellence in the real estate industry. She has risen to meet every challenge with vigor and insight, and we are fortunate to have her on our team.”

When Sheeline joined Daniel Gale Sotheby’s

International Realty as a marketing coordinator in late 2005, the organization had ten offices along the North Shore of Long Island. Today, there are 28 offices that span Long Island from Queens to the East End. Social media giants Facebook and Twitter were in their infancy and the iPhone had yet to be introduced. Then everything changed, quickly, and along with it, real estate marketing as these and other new technologies and platforms enabled consumers to access market information on the Internet. Sheeline was among the team that pioneered social media in the company, setting up Facebook, LinkedIn and later Instagram. She also became immersed in video and other digital marketing

and advertising platforms.

“We got all of these initiatives off the ground and now have a digital marketing group within our marketing department,” said Sheeline.

“Our challenge is to be at the forefront of change, and to integrate that change and demonstrate its value to encourage widespread adoption by our real estate advisors. Part of what I do is to protect our brand through consistency of message and culture.”

A graduate of the University of Southern California with a degree in film, Sheeline began her career in film industry management, forming her own talent management company that helped to develop the careers of film industry personnel and manage intellectual property through

negotiation of contracts with major studios, cable and other entertainment companies, independent producers and the networks. She returned to her native Long Island in 2003, applying her skills as director of an art gallery in Oyster Bay. An artist in her own right, Sheeline is a well-regarded photographer, with a specialty of photographing children.

Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty is a $3.6 billion-dollar organization based on Long Island, with more than 950 real estate advisors serving New York City’s metropolitan area with 28 offices in Queens, Nassau and Suffolk, the North Fork of Long Island and Westhampton Beach.

HEALTH NEWS

Closing The Addiction Treatment Gap NCDA, Northwell Health, Nassau University Medical Center and New Hope announce groundbreaking partnership Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas announced a groundbreaking partnership between the NCDA, Northwell Health, Nassau University Medical Center (NUMC) and Maryhaven’s New Hope Crisis Center to further close the deadly treatment gap by providing overdose patients with immediate transportation and admission into residential treatment from the emergency room.

“Since my office provided funding to expand New Hope’s services and admission hours in 2015, more than 2,200 people have been helped. They had a safe and supportive place to go through withdrawal and to be directed to the next phase of treatment.

Now there will be no delay between the hospital and help,” Singas said. “Thanks to the collaboration between New Hope, Northwell Health and NuHealth, a person in crisis in an emergency room will not just be stabilized, released and referred for future treatment—that person will meet a counselor in the emergency department and be transported directly to New Hope. Treatment and hope for the future will start immediately.”

As part of the NCDA’s three-pronged strategy against the heroin crisis, that includes enforcement, education and treatment, Singas has negotiated a unique and innovative medically approved treatment program.

Recently, staff from Maryhaven’s New Hope

District Attorney Madeline Singas addresses the addition treatment gap.

Stabilization/Crisis Center began a pilot program with Northwell-LIJ and NUMC. New Hope staff are on call to respond directly to the hospital emergency rooms to work with the hospital staff to counsel the patient and immediately transport the patient to New Hope to begin treatment. The patient will be assessed to determine the next phase of treatment.

Typically, users who overdose, are revived and stabilized are released from the ER because withdrawal is not considered medically “life-threatening.” This treatment gap leaves many patients on their own during the most violent, painful and difficult throes of withdrawal, often leading to repeat

use that can continue uninterrupted until death.

This cycle can also lead to crimes often associated with the need for money to support opiate abuse, like robbery and burglary.

NUMC has further committed to the efforts to fight this continuing epidemic by making 20 more beds available for detoxing patients, by working with Nassau County and Sheriff Vera Fludd to bring a re-entry Vivitrol program to the Nassau County Correctional Facility and by expediting a program to make medically assisted treatment inductions available through the emergency department.

“The groundbreaking partnership we’re announcing today represents a major step towards closing the addiction treatment gap in Nassau County. We know that we can’t arrest our way out of the opioid crisis,” Nassau County Executive Laura Curran said.

“Addiction is a very complex and painful condition that continues to overwhelm families in our local communities, as well as law enforcement and medical professionals who are tasked with providing answers,” said Northwell Health president and CEO Michael J. Dowling. “That’s why this partnership with New Hope is so critical, especially during a public health crisis like the opioid epidemic.

Dining A La Carte

Cooking school makes healthy eating fun and educational

BY JENNIFER FAUCI

jfauci@antonmediagroup.com

W

hile the concept of healthy eating may seem like it has been around for years, popularized with apps, diets and meal planning, the truth is that eating well doesn’t matter too much if you don’t know how to properly prepare and cook food. When Polly Talbot founded A la Carte in 1999, she saw a need to establish a cooking school during a time when the act of cooking was growing from a chore to a fun and popular hobby.

“Twenty years ago, cooking was becoming a really big deal, especially on the Food Network. I was a food stylist for many years but my passion all along was always to cook,” said Talbot, who thought opening a cooking school was a great idea and did so with A la Carte in Lynbrook. “I have always done recreational classes, highlighting French, Italian and Spanish cuisine as well as basic knife

skills. Culinary Nutritionist, Regina Ragone M.S., R.D., and I started working together a couple of years ago on Eat to Beat, tying together food and medicine. That movement is beginning to take hold and all culinary professionals have been saying this for years as well as dietitians and doctors that you have to eat better but nobody tells you how to cook food and how to make it healthy and delicious.”

“The most important thing I can do as a culinary nutritionist to change someone’s eating behavior is to teach them how to cook. This gives them the tools they need to take control of what they eat,” added Ragone. “As far as kids go, the way you get them to eat better is to have them cook with you. Once they are a part of the process they’ll feel more connected to the food you serve and less likely to criticize it.”

While many people, even today, still associate healthy eating with gross food, Talbot says the cooking classes

allow people to try new things, get to know each other and find that they have support and help right by them.

She has conducted several Eat to Beat classes in the past, including classes on arthritis and menopause, but the upcoming class on May 21, is the first one on allergies.

show kids how simple cooking is—even when you teach them basic knife skills—they can do whatever they need to do to take away the fear of the kitchen,” said Talbot, who added that her classes for children are geared towards those 8 years and older. “At that age, kids can read and have manual dexterity. My goal is for kids to help get dinner ready and they should be involved in the kitchen with their parents.”

Talbot also noted that it’s not just about learning to eat healthy, but gaining a better knowledge of math, science and organizational skills for kids, who also learn sociability skills when they take part in classes.

“With each class, we always learn about cultures and cuisines from different countries and that is very important when learning where a dish comes from,” she said.

The Animodule is a three dimensional “Animated module” created sculpture, formed by notching two flat planes together to create a third dimension. It is an original urban art form, born in Newark, created by children and youth under the direction of professional artists.

NYU Winthrop is Long Island’s first Hidden Scar Center of Excellence. ®

NYU Winthrop’s Breast Health Center, first in Nassau County to be accredited by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), is now the first hospital on Long Island to offer Hidden Scar surgery, a sophisticated new approach to breast cancer surgery that hides the scar so effectively it’s virtually invisible.

A specially trained Hidden Scar surgeon makes a small incision—much smaller than with traditional breast surgery—in a hidden area, beneath the breast, for example.

The cancerous tissue is removed through that incision, thus preserving the natural shape of the breast. Less accessible tissue is illuminated with special technology to be seen clearly by the surgeon and removed with virtually no scarring.

At NYU Winthrop, we have always understood the powerful emotions that can overwhelm any woman dealing with a breast cancer diagnosis. That’s why we are so pleased to be the first to make available this remarkable surgical advance. To learn more, call 1-866-WINTHROP or visit nyuwinthrop.org.

Women Battling Breast Cancer Turn to NYU Winthrop’s Hidden Scar® Surgery – A Breakthrough that Removes the Cancer but Avoids Disfiguring Scarring

Dr. Shubhada Dhage and Dr. Virginia Maurer NYU Winthrop Hospital has been named the firstever Hidden Scar® Center of Excellence on Long Island in recognition of the hospital offering an advanced approach to breast cancer surgery that removes cancerous tissue but hides visible scarring. More than 65 percent of women who’ve undergone breast cancer surgery are said to be left feeling selfconscious and unhappy with the remaining scar. Many of these women were not able to benefit from concealing surgical techniques, due to the nature or location of their breast cancer.

Not anymore.

“This procedure should be the new ‘normal’ for breast cancer surgery,” said Virginia Maurer, MD, Chief of Breast Surgery at NYU Winthrop and Director of the Breast Health Program. “We’re proud to pave the way, introducing this important advancement to women on Long Island.”

Just ask Andrea, a Hidden Scar patient who discovered that she had breast cancer following a routine mammogram. “It sort of hits you like a brick—cancer.”

Also very upsetting to her was that the lump in her breast was going

to be difficult to remove without leaving a disfiguring scar.

“If I have a scar, it will always remind me that I had it [breast cancer], and that I could have it again.”

“You can’t see my incision at all,” said Kim afterwards.

“Having the Hidden Scar procedure allowed me to make it [the mastectomy] more private.

You don’t have to be reminded every time you wear a bikini. My results are amazing. I like the way I look, and now I don’t have to worry about cancer.”

The Hidden Scar approach involves a specially trained surgeon utilizing highly advanced and unique equipment to make a small incision— Andrea’s husband saw her much smaller than with palpable anxiety regarding how traditional breast surgery—in a she’d look following surgery. “I hidden area to remove a tumor. just wanted her healthy. . .

Following consistent illumination of the her successful Hidden Scar surgical cavity, which is guided procedure, she explained, “I don’t have a dimple or any kind by advanced photonics—a sophisticated amplification of indication that something of light—that enhances was taken out of me. Isn’t that amazing?

The Hidden Scar Kim, who is young and single approach can be used both in a but unfortunately carries the breast-conserving lumpectomy BRAC gene mutation—as did that removes only part of the

breast tissue, or a mastectomy that removes all of the breast tissue.

Shubhada Dhage, MD, Director of Breast Surgical Services and Associate Director of Breast Health at NYU Winthrop Hospital, said of the Hidden Scar approach, “Our goal is to go well above and beyond standards of care, and that includes helping a patient continue to feel like a whole woman by using the Hidden Scar procedure to minimize disfigurement. We not only take into account the safest and best breast cancer treatments, but also consider how a cancer diagnosis fits into a woman’s lifetime.”

Patients who undergo the Hidden Scar procedure experience optimal clinical and cosmetic outcomes and are at no higher risk of cancer recurrence than patients who undergo other breast cancer surgical techniques. The Hidden Scar procedure is available to most breast cancer candidates, with some exclusions based on the size and location of a tumor, breast shape, and breast size.

ay is American Stroke Month and to raise awareness, the American Stroke Association (ASA), a division of the American Heart Association, the world’s largest voluntary health organization fighting heart disease and stroke, shares seven habits to help prevent a stroke.

Up to 80 percent of strokes can be prevented by not smoking, making healthy food choices, getting enough physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight and treating conditions such as high blood sugar, high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

Manage blood pressure

1

Nothing causes more strokes than uncontrolled high blood pressure. Of the 116.4 million people in the United States who have high blood pressure, fewer than half have it under control, putting them at increased risk of stroke.

Lowering your blood pressure by just 20 points could cut your risk of dying from a stroke by half. A good blood pressure should be less than 120/80.

Maintain a healthy weight

2

The benefits of maintaining a healthy weight go beyond improved energy and smaller clothing sizes. By losing weight or maintaining a healthy weight, you are also likely to reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke.

There’s no magic trick to losing weight and keeping it off, but the majority of people who are successful, modify their eating habits and increase their physical activity.

FULL RUN

Eat a healthy diet

3

Healthy eating starts with simple healthy food choices.

You don’t need to stop eating your favorite meals, just use substitutions to make them healthier.

Learn what to look for at the grocery store, restaurants, your workplace and other eating occasions, so you can confidently make healthy, delicious choices whenever and wherever you eat.

Don’t smoke

4

Control cholesterol

6

Having large amounts of LDL cholesterol in the blood, the bad cholesterol, can cause build up and blood clots, which leads to a heart attack or stroke.

Reducing your fat intake, especially trans fats, more often found in fried foods and baked goods, can help reduce your cholesterol. Adding more foods with omega-3 fatty acids like fish and nuts, as well as soluble fiber and whey protein helps in managing bad cholesterol.

Seven Habits To Prevent A Stroke

If you smoke, stop as soon as possible.

Smoking can increase blood pressure, among many other health issues and it’s the number one controllable risk factor for stroke. Cigarette smoking, vaping and tobacco products in general, are dangerous for your health. Quitting is one of the best things you can do to improve your health and add years to your life.

Control blood sugar

5

may have a life expectancy that is 12 years shorter than someone without both conditions.

By managing your diabetes and working with your health care team, you may reduce your risk of stroke. Every two minutes, an adult with diabetes in the United States is hospitalized for a stroke. At age 60, someone with Type 2 diabetes and a history of stroke

Be active

7

A good starting goal is at least 150 minutes of physical activity a week, but if you don’t want to sweat the numbers, just move more. Find forms of physical activity you like and will stick with and build more opportunities to be active into your routine.

Not all strokes can be prevented.

People who have had a stroke are at high risk of having a second one. In fact, about one in every four stroke survivors will have a second one.

Stroke survivors should work with

their doctor on a plan to reduce their secondary stroke risk factors as there may be lifestyle changes and medications, such as aspirin, that may help prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of a second stroke. It is important to talk to your doctor before starting an aspirin regimen, because aspirin may not be appropriate for everyone.

Each year, almost 800,000 people have a stroke. Knowing how to recognize a stroke emergency is key to getting life-saving medical attention when every minute matters. Use the acronym F.A.S.T. to remember the most common signs of stroke: • Face Drooping: Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is the person’s smile uneven?

• Arm Weakness: Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?

• Speech Difficulty: Is speech slurred?

Is the person unable to speak or hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence, like “The sky is blue.”

• Time to call 911: If someone shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 911 and get to a hospital immediately. Check the time so you’ll know when the first symptoms appeared.

Memorial Sloan Kettering opens new Nassau center

BY JORDAN HOPKINS

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

M

SK Nassau, the new Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center located on the corner of Earle Ovington Boulevard, opened last month at the Nassau Hub, the culmination of more than two years of construction on the site. The new facility is more than 100,000-square-feet, and cost more than $180 million to develop in the center of the county. Project designers and officials hope the new space will provide cancer patients on Long Island with a closer alternative for treatment than the current situation, which required outpatients to travel to one of Memorial Sloan Kettering’s locations in midtown Manhattan.

Such a trip was a big task for chemotherapy or other cancer patients who might have trouble getting around due to their illness.

“Having all these cancer services in one place, with no space limitations for them, is something we are very grateful for,” said Dr. Pamela Drulinsky, who is the medical site director for Memorial Sloan Kettering Nassau.

The new facility is meant to serve as a replacement for MSK’s outpatient services on Long Island. The original Sloan Kettering Center on the island was located in Rockville Centre, approximately four miles away. The Rockville Centre location, which had been serving patients since its opening in 1997, was 27,000-square-feet and was missing a bevy of accommodations for outpatients that will be included in the new complex.

Officials estimate that the Nassau location will care for more than 20,000 people in its first year. The new center is also top of the line, providing almost every service that a patient might require, including chemotherapy, radiation treatment, genetic research and post-op care.

However, patients requiring surgery will still need to be treated at one of the Manhattan locations.

“People want to come to MSK because they can receive specialized care here,” Drulinsky said. “We have specialists in every field who only treat that kind of cancer and are absolutely up-to-date on the most-innovative approaches...We’re very excited to offer new services and expand what we’ve been doing in Nassau County for the last two decades.”

The project was deliberately located at the Nassau Coliseum Hub, where development on a multi-billion dollar project to develop the parking lot surrounding the coliseum is already underway. The new area will include shops and social spaces, as well as office spaces and residential zones.

The MSK Center, which had originally been planned out to be a Northwell Health facility before Sloan Kettering stepped in, is the first project to be completed ahead of the new development that will be taking place over the next several years. RXR Realty, which is developing the hub, has promised nearly $2 billion to the project, which has been met by nearly $120 million in funds from Governor Andrew Cuomo and the State of New York.

For more information on the center, or to make an appointment, visit Memorial Sloan Kettering’s website at www.mskcc.org.

PROTECT YOUR VISION Tips for taking care of your eyes

May is national healthy vision month, an important time to spread the word about the importance of taking care of your eyes. The risk for vision loss and related complications increases with age. Some type of sight-threatening eye problem affects 1 in 6 adults 45 and older and glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the world, according to the World Health Organization. Protecting your eyesight is vital to maintaining your overall quality of life and preventing the onset of glaucoma. Here are a few tips for making your eyes a priority.

Know your risk

Conditions like diabetes, hypertension, nearsightedness, farsightedness, eye injury, or eye tumor place you in a high risk. Be aware of your family history and get yourself screened regularly. Early onset of cataracts or glaucoma can be hereditary and early detection is key.

Regular eye exams Adults 40- 65 should have their vision checked every one to two years; after 65, at least once a year.

Comprehensive dilated eye exams detect problems early, when they’re easier to treat. An eye exam also ensures your eyeglasses or contact lenses prescription is up to date.

Look for changes in your vision Be aware of noticeable changes such as double vision, hazy vision, difficulty seeing in low light conditions, red eyes, frequent flashes of light or eye pain and swelling. See your doctor immediately.

Exercise

According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, regular exercise — such as walking — can reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration by up to 70%.

Protect your eyes from harmful UV light

Always wear sunglasses or a brimmed hat that shields your eyes from the sun. This may help reduce your risk of cataracts and other eye problems.

Maintain a healthy diet

Studies have shown that antioxidants can possibly reduce the risk of cataracts. Load up on fruits, vegetables and omega-3. Speak with your doctor about supplementing with eye vitamins to ensure you are getting adequate amounts of nutrients to keep your eyes healthy.

Alcohol Awareness

Six approaches to explain the consequences of alcohol to your teens

I

t’s not always easy to have “uncomfortable conversations” with your children. If you’re afraid to talk to your teen about the dangers of drinking alcohol, keep the following statistics in mind: according to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), alcohol is the most commonly abused drug among youth in the United States.

Although it’s illegal for persons under the age of 21 to consume alcohol, more than 4,300 underage youth die from excessive drinking each year. Also shocking is that 11 percent of alcohol consumed in the United States is consumed by individuals between the ages of 12 and 20, and more than 90 percent of this is consumed in the form of binge drinking.

Not only can alcohol consumption lead to death from alcohol poisoning, it can also create school, social, physical and legal problems. It’s important to keep in mind that abusing alcohol can lead to physical and sexual assault, a higher risk for suicide and homicide,

memory problems, abuse of other drugs, alcohol-related auto accidents and other unintentional injuries (like drowning).

Alcohol abuse can cause a disruption of normal growth, sexual development Dr. David Greuner and brain development. Teens who abuse alcohol are more likely to experience unplanned, unwanted and unprotected sexual activity.

Now that you’ve read the statistics, having “the talk” ASAP should be a no-brainer. Early adolescence is when many teens begin to experiment with alcohol, and getting to your kids before it starts is key in preventing a problem down the road. Here are some approaches to consider when you’re preparing to have this important talk with your teen.

Have a chat during a relaxed time Timing is everything. Plan to talk to your child when you’re both relaxed

The use of Clinical Hypnosis in health care practice adds an additional element of creativity and efficacy to a clinician’s work.

Establish rules and consequences Make sure that your child is aware of all the laws surrounding alcohol consumption, and also that he or she is aware of the rules set by you in your own home. For example, your child should never get in the car with someone behind the wheel who has been drinking. Make the consequences known ahead of time and be sure to enforce them if the rules are broken.

This is not an issue to be taken lightly.

Set an example No matter what age they are, one of the best ways we can teach our children is leading by example. What behaviors are you displaying for your kids? Live healthy, active lives where— if you consume alcohol—you do so in moderation and responsibly. They’re always watching, and they look up to you and learn from your example.

Encourage healthy relationships We were all teens once, so it goes

without saying that during these years, a lot of us tend to do the opposite of what our parents want us to do. Instead of aggressively discouraging certain friendships, encourage them to engage in healthy relationships instead. Know who your child’s friends are; if his or her friends are experimenting with alcohol, there’s a good chance your child is, too.

Support your teen One of the best things you can arm you child with at this age is the self-esteem and confidence to stand up to peer pressure. Encourage an open environment where he or she can come to you and ask for help, no matter what.

Understand what leads teens to alcohol use It’s important to know what the risk factors are for underage alcohol use: peer pressure, family problems, struggling to fit in and experimentation are a few. Teach your child healthier ways to properly deal with these factors (if they are to occur) before they happen.

National Certified Nurse Of The Year

L

aunette Woolforde, EdD, DNP, RN-BC, vice president of nursing education and professional development for Northwell Health and assistant professor at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/ Northwell, has been named a 2019 American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) National Certified Nurse of the Year.

Winning in the category of Nursing Professional Development, Dr. Woolforde is among 29 nurses honored by the ANCC in their respective specialty areas. The winners demonstrate ongoing contributions to the advancement of nursing in their specialties through innovation, collaboration, leadership and professional risk-taking and patient-centered care.

The ANCC is a premier organization for board certification for nurses and provides Magnet designation, a widely recognized gold standard of nursing care excellence in hospitals.

Woolforde works with other health system leaders to further Northwell’s goal to deliver superior patient care, quality and safety by developing and advancing nursing, especially at the frontline. She oversees a broad scope of strategic efforts and educational programming that impacts the more than 17,000 nurses employed by Northwell at its 23 hospitals and 700plus outpatient facilities.

“Dr. Woolforde’s commitment to excellence in nursing practice, education, and innovation as well as her engaging personality made her the clear choice for this recognition,” said Maureen T. White, executive vice president and chief nurse executive for Northwell Health.

During her 15 years at Northwell, Woolforde has served in a variety of capacities including nurse educator, orientation coordinator, corporate director for nursing education, and senior administrative director for patient care services. She has contributed to the development of countless nurses, as well as aspiring nurses, within and outside the health system.

For many years, she has created programs and pathways to enable Northwell’s 17,000 nurses to pursue and earn board certification.

Northwell’s nurse certification rate among nurse leaders and frontline clinical nurses is higher than the national mean for Magnet hospitals.

ANCC certification allows nurses to demonstrate their specialty expertise.

With a long career as a certified nurse, Woolforde led the development and

launch of a unique oncology nursing clinical education program at Northwell. The cutting-edge program is framed around the patient’s journey, taking nurses through Launette Woolforde settings such as medical/surgical inpatient, radiation-oncology and home care to help them understand the patient and family experience, and prepare for complex care navigation and chronic care coordination needs.

To address the growing nationwide shortage of nurses in perioperative and ambulatory settings, she led the development of a program that allows

nursing students to have an in-depth rotation in a specialized ambulatory and perioperative program, preparing them for roles in these settings upon graduation—a transition that is unheard of in nursing.

Woolforde’s work on addressing the competencies of nurse educators working in clinical settings paved the way for the National League for Nursing’s development of the Certified Nurse Educator-clinical exam. She also launched and leads a national diversity task force at the Association for Nursing Professional Development (ANPD) and co-authored the current Scope and Standards of Practice for Nursing Professional Development, which set the guidelines for practice across the specialty nationwide. Her leadership helps to advance the health of patients across Northwell and in

other critical forums where she shares her work, including the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine.

Having earned both a doctor of nursing practice from Case Western Reserve University and a doctor of education degree from Columbia University’s Teachers College, Woolforde became the first nurse in the health system to earn two doctoral degrees. She previously earned a bachelor’s degree in nursing from Pace University, a master’s degree in adult health as a clinical nurse specialist from Hunter College-CUNY, a post master’s certificate in nursing education from the College of New Rochelle. She is also a Fellow of The New York Academy of Medicine.

NYU Winthrop Named First Breast Cancer Surgery ‘Hidden Scar Center Of Excellence’

I

n a breakthrough for Long Island women diagnosed with breast cancer, NYU Winthrop Hospital recently announced that is has been named Long Island’s first Hidden Scar Center of Excellence in recognition of the hospital now offering an advanced approach to breast cancer surgery that removes cancerous tissue but hides visible scarring.

This “hidden scar” approach is a breakthrough—and expected to be the wave of the future—that allows NYU Winthrop‘s surgeons to operate to eradicate breast cancer while at the same time producing optimal cosmetic outcomes. The latter is of increasing importance when viewing the patient as a whole, given that more than 65 percent of women having undergone breast cancer surgery are reported to be left feeling self-conscious and unhappy with the remaining scar. Approximately 253,000 women annually are diagnosed with breast cancer requiring surgery.

“By utilizing the less invasive Hidden Scar approach to surgery, we minimize for women the daily emotional reminder of a breast cancer diagnosis,” said Virginia Maurer, MD, chief of breast surgery at NYU Winthrop and director of the breast health program. “We expect this procedure to become the new ‘normal’ for breast cancer surgery and are proud to pave the way, introducing this important advancement to women on Long Island.”

There are two surgical treatment options for

breast cancer: a breast-conserving lumpectomy that removes only part of the breast tissue; or a mastectomy that removes all of the breast tissue. The Hidden Scar approach can be used in either situation. The smaller incision of the approach requires consistent illumination of the surgical cavity, which is guided by advanced photonics—Intelligent Photonics technology—that improves visibility within the breast cavity, allowing NYU Winthrop surgeons to clearly see and effectively remove the tumor. The specially trained surgeons remove the cancerous tissue through a single incision made in a hidden area, preserving the natural shape of the breast while reducing visible scarring. The less-invasive incision may be in the natural crease beneath the breast; in the armpit hidden in a natural fold; or along the

edges of the areola, which can be very desirable for some mastectomies, since it is a nipple-sparing technique.

The Hidden Scar approach was developed by Invuity, Inc., a leading medical technology company focused on advanced surgical devices, and now a part of Stryker. Invuity’s Intelligent Photonics technology improves a surgeon’s ability to perform minimal-access surgery through smaller and hidden incisions.

“Our goal is to go well above and beyond standards of care, and that includes helping a patient continue to feel like a whole woman by using the Hidden Scar procedure to minimize disfigurement,” said Added Shubhada Dhage, MD, director of breast surgical services and Associate Director of Breast Health at NYU Winthrop Hospital. “We not only take into account the safest and best breast cancer treatments, but also consider how a cancer diagnoses fits into a woman’s lifetime.”

Patients who undergo the Hidden Scar approach experience optimal clinical and cosmetic outcomes and are at no higher risk of cancer recurrence than patients who undergo other breast cancer surgical techniques. The Hidden Scar procedure is available to most breast cancer candidates, with some exclusions based on the size and location of a tumor, breast shape, and breast size.

Medical Study: Human Protein May Affect Pregnancy In Women With Lupus

A

human protein involved in activation of the immune system could cause pregnancy complications in women with lupus, according to findings shared in an oral presentation at the American College of Rheumatology/Association of Rheumatology Health Professional’s (ACR/ARHP) Annual Meeting in Chicago. Feinstein Institute for Medical Research scientist Naomi I. Maria, PhD, identified the connection in a mouse model, the first step to developing new therapies which could give hope to pregnant women with lupus—along with their unborn children.

Lupus is an autoimmune disease typically first diagnosed in women 15-44 that causes the immune system to become hyperactive, attacking healthy tissue and causing inflammation and damage to joints, skin and internal organs. In pregnant women, lupus can also cause dangerous complications like pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure and fluid retention) and antiphospholipid syndrome where abnormalities in the placenta cause the baby to grow at a slower than normal rate, leading to low birth weight or even miscarriage. The reason why the placenta is impacted in women with lupus and antiphospholipid syndrome is not yet understood, but it is thought that a protein called toll-like receptor 8 (TLR8) might play a role.

In this current study, Maria, Feinstein Institute Professor Anne Davidson, MBBS, and their lab looked at how the human form of TLR8 affects pregnancy in

mice with lupus. They observed an association between human TLR8 and loss of pregnancy and fetal and maternal death only in mice that also had lupus and anti-phospholipid antibodies but not in normal mice. This indicated that this protein could be a factor in pregnancy complications in lupus.

“It’s important that we found this association because it is a first step to understanding this toll-like receptor’s role in causing pregnancy complications in women with lupus,” said Maria. “With lupus first occurring in women of childbearing age, it is important to understand how the disease affects pregnancy to help prevent or avoid complications for mother and unborn child.”

Along with the study’s findings linking the relationship between TLR8 and pregnancy complications in those with lupus, the mouse model created can be used in future studies examining mechanisms of placenta damage in lupus and pregnancy.

“Dr. Maria embodies our mission to produce knowledge to cure disease,” said Kevin J. Tracey, MD, president and CEO of the Feinstein Institute.

“Her presentation at ACR/ARHP is a recent example of that mission.”

A Blueprint For Wellness

BY JENNIFER FAUCI

Jjfauci@antonmediagroup.com

S

t. Francis Hospital is known for its reputation as The Heart Center, quite literally and figuratively. With a staff at the top of their game, the focus turns to the team of warm and caring dietitians that truly put their heart into the cancer care of patients. The hospital’s collaborative and interdisciplinary approach to health and wellness has earned high marks for 12 years, with U.S. News & World Report ranking it the best hospital for cardiology on Long Island.

The Cancer Institute at St. Francis Hospital was initiated in 2013 and what began in the hospital as an outpatient confined to a single floor with oncologists and a few beds for infusions, quickly grew to a need for an entire building.

The outpatient, state-of-the-art facility is now conveniently located minutes away from the hospital campus at 2200 Northern Boulevard in East Hills.

“St. Francis gave me the opportunity to specialize in a special field like oncology late in my career and be the first registered dietitian in The Cancer Institute,” said dietitian Julie Ceyhan.

“I’m very proud of the role I played (and continue to play). Luckily I’ve been able to work with a dream team.”

In addition, a radiation facility was also opened on the same campus. With everything under one roof, collaboration is made easier between oncologists and dietitians and many oncology dietitians agree that nutrition puts power back into the patient’s hands.

Christina Adduci is the Clinical Nutrition Manager at St. Francis and is also a board-certified specialist in oncology nutrition. It is her job to develop and maintain policies, procedures and programs to ensure that all nutrition care activities comply with the standards established by local, state and federal regulatory agencies for optimal nutrition care for patients at both St. Francis Hospital and The Cancer Institute at St. Francis Hospital.

“The nutrition programs at The Cancer Institute are constantly evolving largely due to our patients’ feedback.

In addition, we have close working relationships with other departments and organizations, within and outside The Cancer Institute, to provide a unified approach to patient care,” said Adduci

Adduci says that she and her colleagues do their best to put themselves in their patients’ shoes to truly feel what those patients are feeling.

Although she is also a dietitian at St. Francis, Karen Berg wears a lot of hats.

While she sees patients who are currently undergoing active treatment for different types of cancers, helping them through their journey, she also works with grant writers for the hospital’s nutrition programs.

“People are just starving for information on nutrition, which plays a huge role in your life at any given point,” said Berg, who created the Eat. Chat. Move. series for breast and gynecological cancer patients. “We ask people what else they want to know and what they need from us.”

In Rayna Herskowitz’s unique role at the hospital, she divides her week as a clinical dietitian in both the outpatient

–Stefani Pappas setting, through The Cancer Institute at St. Francis Hospital, as well as the inpatient setting through the hospital.

“I get to follow our patients through different stages of their treatment course,” said Herskowitz. “Throughout my work week, I speak with patients and families to complete nutrition assessments and nutrition education.

Specific to my outpatient role, I participate in many free programs for community members.”

Throughout the year, Herskowitz teaches the Eat. Chat. Move. program with Berg and also works with other oncology dietitians to develop Cooking is Caring, gather donations for Survivorship Day and attends health fairs.

“We work with many members of the St. Francis Team, including our dedicated social workers to put on events for community members, such as The

Summer Series,” she said of the many programs that provide an opportunity to teach about nutrition. “Working in the ever-evolving field of nutrition is a really special opportunity and after all, we are all touched by food.”

For the past 12 years in a row, St. Francis has been ranked as the number one hospital in cardiology. According to Stefani Pappas, a senior clinical oncology dietitian at The Cancer Institute, St. Francis has taken its excellence in heart health and expanded that into their oncology services, led by distinguished oncologist Bhoomi Mehrotra, M.D. “Our outpatient Cancer Institute houses all-inclusive care: medical oncology, radiation oncology, infusion care and radiology are all together under one roof, which allows patient needs to be met in an efficient manner and assists our interdisciplinary team in working collaboratively,” said Pappas, who is also a board certified specialist in oncology nutrition and works alongside Ceyhan, Berg and Herskowitz. “Good nutrition during cancer treatment is imperative to help meet the increased

The PANDA study is one way for you to assist researchers in their search to discover effective new treatments for wAMD. Local doctors are studying an investigational drug called conbercept to see how safe and effective it is in wAMD. Conbercept is injected into the “study eye” of each participant to study its effects. This study will compare this investigational drug to another drug called aflibercept, which is already widely used by doctors to treat wAMD. If you are eligible for this study, the medication you receive AMD AMDto which you are randomly will depend upon the study group can steal can steal assigned.

The Gift Of Life Donors, recipients discuss organ transplant T

wo families whose lives had been touched by kidney disease and compassion recently revealed their most personal thoughts about organ donation and transplantation during Northwell Health’s annual Gift of Life celebration.

Before introducing each speaker, Lewis Teperman, vice chairman of surgery and director of the Northwell Health Transplant Center, urged the audience to spread the word about the importance of organ donation.

“Today is a day for the celebration of life when we honor the people who gave so unselfishly. But, we need to do better,” said Dr. Teperman. “One way to do that would be to promulgate the idea of presumed consent in New York State. In other words, you opt out of transplantation instead on opting in.

That would almost certainly increase the number of available organs. We must do a better job of organ donation in New York.”

On hand to lend her support from local government was State Senator Anna Kaplan. During her remarks,

she, too, urged New Yorkers to sign up for organ donation while noting the fact that New York ranked 50th out of all 50 states when it comes to the number of people registered as organ and tissue donors.

“An abysmal 35 percent of New York State residents are registered,” said Kaplan. “That compares to 56 percent of residents across the U.S. That means that there are 10,000 New Yorkers who are currently on waiting lists for transplant. It means that every 18 hours, one of our friends, one of our neighbors, or a member of our family dies while on that waiting list.”

She concluded by encouraging her audience “to make New York a leader by getting registered, and helping a friend or family member to do so as well.”

Teperman next introduced Pete Prudente, 59, of Glen Cove, and his wife, Allison. Prudente’s mission in life has always been to help others.

For years, he generously donated blood and platelets. As a volunteer firefighter, Prudente continues to

serve his community with pride and distinction. On March 25, which also happens to be his birthday, Prudente chose to become an altruistic kidney donor.

“At first, I hoped to donate a kidney to a firefighter brother or sister in need,” he said. “When I couldn’t find that person, I went to Northwell’s Transplant Center and offered to donate. All I know now that my kidney went to a 60-year-old woman who was desperately in need. Now, she can continue to live a healthy life…I feel blessed that I could help her.”

What makes his story so remarkable is that Prudente’s blood type is B-negative—the same as his wife.

Before coming in to donate a kidney, Prudente sat with his wife and discussed the fact that, should she need a kidney in the future, he would be unable to assist. Given the fact that B-negative patients can only receive from B-negative donors, this was a major consideration.

“My wife…my sweetheart...has always supported me in ever thing I

do,” said Prudente. “She told me to go ahead and donate to someone who was in need at the moment. I am so grateful to her.”

Rounding out the program were Paul Monno, 59, of Wantagh, and his wife Heloisa. Monno was just 35 when he was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease. Exactly 20 years later, the happily-married Monno went into kidney failure. His wife and sister rallied around their loved one, offering to be tested in the hopes of supplying him with a kidney.

“At the time, I was firm about not accepting a kidney from either of them,” said Monno, “even if they

HEALTH NEWS

ProHEALTH Care Introduces Community Wellness Programs

P

roHEALTH Care, the largest independent, physician-run health system in the Northeast, announces a new program, PHamily Circle, a community health and charitable giving initiative rooted in fundraising, awareness and medicine.

As ProHEALTH Care is committed to keeping its patients and the community it serves healthy, the new PHamily Circle initiative provides wellness education, health programs, and medical screenings to the community. Each year, PHamily Circle will highlight a wellness topic to raise awareness. This year’s annual focus is on women’s health; PHamily Circle is #ProWOMAN and will kick off with a Women’s Health Fair in May. Another important component of the PHamily Circle program is fundraising and PHamily Circle will fundraise for local charities.

The new PHamily Circle initiative is part of president and CEO Dr. Zeyad Baker’s 2019 agenda of patient-centric programs designed to dramatically improve the patient’s experience and make healthcare more accessible.

“It isn’t enough to focus on patients when they are sick,” said Baker. “We need to educate our community on prevention and early detection. ProHEALTH Care will continuously offer new programs that address a variety of medical questions and concerns. We want to empower our patients to take control of their health and the health of their families.”

PHamily Circle aspires to serve its community by extending ProHEALTH’s specialized care outside of the exam room. PHamily Circle will host three events in 2019 dedicated to improving women’s health and promoting women’s wellness. Each of the programs will offer the opportunity to fundraise and give back to a local charity, raise awareness about a health concern impacting the community, and provide community health programs such as health screenings.

Northwell Health Cardiac Surgery Programs Among New York’s Best

A

newly released state Department of Health (DOH) report showed Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan and Long Island Jewish (LIJ) Medical Center in New Hyde Park as having among the state’s best outcomes for certain types of open-heart surgery.

The cardiovascular teams at LIJ Medical Center and North Shore University Hospital, both flagship hospitals within Northwell Health, combined their expertise in 2016 to form the highly specialized Sandra Atlas Bass Heart Hospital at North Shore University Hospital (NSUH) in Manhasset. During the full three-year reporting period (2014-16) analyzed by DOH, LIJ’s cardiothoracic team had among the state’s best survival rates for patients undergoing surgeries for isolated CABG, the repair or replacement of heart valves, and for those in need of surgeries for both valve and CABG surgery. LIJ was

among four hospitals to earn the DOH’s prestigious double asterisk for outcomes that were significantly better than the statewide average—the eighth consecutive year that it has achieved superior performance.

The DOH report analyzed 62,744 total adult cardiac surgeries performed at 38 hospitals from 2014-16. Five Northwell cardiothoracic programs—LIJ Medical Center, NSUH, Lenox Hill, South Side Hospital in Bay Shore and Staten Island University Hospital (SIUH)— performed 7,468 total cardiac surgeries.

“This is the eighth consecutive reporting period that the cardiothoracic surgery team now based at the Sandra Atlas Bass Heart Hospital has been recognized by the state for superior outcomes—an amazing achievement,” said Alan Hartman, MD, senior vice president and executive director of cardiothoracic services at Northwell Health.

In a separate DOH report, Maimonides had significantly better success rates for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), a non-surgical procedure used to treat blockages within the heart’s coronary arteries.

Maimonides was one of only four hospitals in the state with significantly better success rates for all types of coronary interventions, performing 3,433 procedures over three years.

The state report analyzed 146,568 PCI procedures, also known as angioplasty, at 62 hospitals over the three years covered in the report.

Collectively, seven Northwell cardiology programs—NSUH, LIJ, Lenox Hill, Maimonides, SIUH, Southside and Huntington Hospital—performed 22,434 PCI procedures or about 15 percent of the statewide total, more than any other health system in New York State.

NYU Winthrop Hospital Designated By NY State Troopers As Preferred Medical Provider

N

YU Winthrop Hospital has been recognized by the New York State Troopers PBA (Police Benevolent Association) as a “Preferred Medical Provider.” This recognition culminates a one-year partnership during which time NYU Winthrop developed communication protocol through which medical care needs of PBA members are relayed to NYU Winthrop, which then assists members navigate the complex healthcare system and its myriad of specialties. There are more than 15,000 members under the PBA umbrella, including active State Troopers,

retirees, and family members. As a Preferred Medical Provider, NYU Winthrop assists with both emergency and non-emergency care for those members, whether involving a gunshot wound, car accident, cancer diagnoses, long-term care, or other medical needs.

“NYU Winthrop consistently demonstrated superior medical expertise when called upon to do so,” said Michael C. Brooks, Director of State Trooper Surgeons of the New York State Troopers PBA. “The success stories coming out of NYU Winthrop speak for themselves.

Hospitals are not awarded a

‘Preferred Medical Partner’ plaque, they earn them.”

The NYS Troopers PBA helps members access the best possible medical care, expediting proper care, promoting the well-being of members, and positively impacting member’s return-to-work rate.

This is accomplished through an NYU Winthrop “Hospital Liaison” working in tandem with PBA’s Executive Care Coordinator to effectively route care to an appropriate physician or group, including for second opinions. This facilitation especially helps to ease the stress of members handling

complex diagnoses, allowing them to remain focused and safe while on duty.

“We’re honored to be part of the continuum of care for the first responders among the New York State Troopers PBA, as well as their families,” said John Collins, president and Chief Executive Officer of NYU Winthrop. “We have established a strong track record of positive outcomes that we expect to continue with the State Troopers long into the future.”

5 Reasons To Come To MSK Nassau For Cancer Care

By Bill Piersol Here are five more appealing features of MSK Nassau: 1. Infusion, your way

Many people come weekly for chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and other types of infusions. The 26 infusion spaces are self-contained, providing privacy and modern comforts in a tranquil setting. Internet, television, and refreshments are available, and temperature, lighting, and seating are controlled by the patient.

Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) has been serving people on Long Island for more than 20 years at multiple locations in both Nassau and Suffolk counties. MSK is now expanding its world-class, compassionate care by opening MSK Nassau in Uniondale. This all-new 114,000 square foot facility offers services addressing almost every aspect of cancer care and allows for more convenient treatment for people from Nassau County and eastern Queens.

“We’re excited to offer new services and expand what we’ve been doing in Nassau County for the last two decades,” says Pamela Drullinsky, MD, a breast cancer oncologist and MSK Nassau’s Regional Care Network Site Director.

Dr. Drullinsky understands how a convenient location helps people reduce travel time and stress.

“Receiving treatment close to home lessens the burden on everyday life,” she says.

The collaborative team approach to care at MSK Nassau ensures that each person’s treatment plan is regularly discussed by experts across the institution. MSK’s singular focus on cancer makes for a committed team dedicated to bringing the latest breakthroughs to patients.

“People come to MSK for specialized care,” says Dr. Drullinsky. “We have specialists in every field who only treat that kind of cancer and are up-to-date on the mostinnovative approaches.”

MSK Nassau also offers counseling; genetic testing; nutrition consultations; a Symptom Care Clinic to help address unexpected medical problems; and a rapid response lab, which cuts down waiting time.

Every aspect of a patient’s visit has been carefully considered to provide peace of mind, from free valet parking to covered walkways that usher visitors into calm, soothing spaces. Interior areas offer patients and their caregivers privacy, while thoughtfully landscaped outdoor areas provide an opportunity to recharge.

3. Surgical consultations

MSK Nassau offers most of the procedures that are necessary before and after surgery, as well as consultations with the surgeon who will perform a person’s operation.

4. Research

Clinical trials test new treatments and are a crucial step in developing new approaches to care. MSK offers more clinical trials for cancer care than any other institution on Long Island. This means that people who come to MSK Nassau may have access to therapies being studied that aren’t available at many other hospitals.

5. Help getting back on your feet

Rehabilitation services help people with the side effects and physical changes that can result from cancer and its treatment. MSK Nassau features a gym, seasoned rehabilitation specialists, and care for any stage of treatment or survivorship, including lymphedema.

Breast cancer oncologist Dr. Pamela Drullinsky is the Regional Care Network Site Director at MSK Nassau.

Learn more about MSK’s outpatient cancer centers in Commack, Hauppauge, and Uniondale at www.mskcc.org/longisland.

202023 R

Memorial Sloan Kettering has opened MSK Nassau in Uniondale. It includes features designed to make cancer care easier and more convenient.

2. The latest radiation treatments MSK Nassau houses three state-of-the-art linear accelerators, which are the backbone of radiation therapy. MSK radiation oncologists deliver ultraprecise treatments that seek to spare healthy tissue, including intensity-modulated radiation therapy, image-guided radiation therapy, and stereotactic body radiation therapy.

Successful Techniques In Career Interviewing 101

BY JACK MANDEL

ask when a decision will be made. It indicates to the employer that you value your time and wish to join the organization as soon as possible.

Follow up the interview with a “thank you” note, email, or telephone call. Use the opportunity to again express your interest in the firm. In conclusion, consider the interview process as a “game.” You must prove yourself both “on the field” and “off the field” by record of accomplishments. You can’t always succeed at every tryout, but you can always give it your best effort.

This time of year, many students seek part-time summer work or full time employment. Now is the time to prepare. Field training experiences (internships) can make the transition from student to employee an easier endeavor.

For many college students, going on a job interview can be a difficult experience. I believe it can be easier if you know what is expected. A personal job interview is really a learning experience for both the employer and job applicant. A company looks for the best person to fill the position by conducting job interviews with many candidates.

Placement counselors agree that an applicant’s dress and overall appearance directly affects the ultimate outcome of the interview. It is never wise to dress in “ultra high style.”

When dressing for business, men make a better impression in a suit.

Navy blue or gray are good colors, and should be worn with coordinating shirt and tie. Hair and beards should be neatly trimmed. Multiple facial and ear piercings are still considered a no-no by many recruiters.

During a job interview, the applicant should let the interviewer set the pace at the meeting and follow his or her cues about on where to sit and whether or not to shake hands. Arriving a few minutes before the arranged time shows the applicant is prompt about important meetings. It is also very important to maintain eye contact as much as possible, to speak slowly and to communicate clearly. This does not mean the conversation needs to be dragged out, but it is important to take time to think before speaking.

I advise students who are new at the interview fame to be careful of “trick” questions. For example, if the interviewer mentions that he looks forward to his weekend so he can sleep late, should the applicant agree and give the impression he or she does the same? Certainly not. The fact is that the interviewer may not sleep late, but may be trying to see how the applicant spends his or her free time. Employers enjoy self-motivated individuals, who enjoy constructive

Jack Mandel leisure time pursuits such as jogging, swimming, working out, and other productive activities. They are not impressed by a lack of ambition,even if it is on your own time.

Never accept an offer to eat, drink (except water) or chew gum during an interview either. And never bring a cell phone to an interview.

You should be able to back up what you put on your résumé and job application. For example, if you only worked a few weeks during the summer vacation, what did you do the remainder of the time? You should avoid showing long gasps of time between work and school schedules.

It is helpful to obtain or devise a blank application form to practice filling in the information before you have to fill in the actual for. This helps you check the accuracy of dates and will be a handy reference to have when you fill out a job application form.

It is a good idea to know enough about the company to discuss it intelligently with the interviewer. You will be asked why you want to work for the particular company. Show interest, ask questions, and be enthusiastic about working for the company in question.

Do not make excuses for what you lack. Concentrate on your positive assets and your ability to do the job (or to learn fast). Don’t be afraid to

Nassau Invests $65 Million To Restore County Roads

N

assau County Executive Laura Curran was joined by the Nassau County Department of Public Works’ (DPW) leadership to unveil two new interactive websites and demonstrate their features and functions. In line with the County Executive’s transparency efforts in all aspects of government operations, DPW with the County I.T. Department developed these websites to showcase and outline Nassau’s Road Resurfacing Program for residents and local municipalities. The program includes resurfacing an unprecedented 200 lane miles of County roads in 2019, utilizing $65 million from the recently approved Capital Plan.

“Investing in our infrastructure is a priority and with over 1,500 Countyowned lane miles in Nassau, we have a lot of work to do. Maintaining safe roads is critical to our economy and

the safety of our residents. It is a basic function of government that has been neglected for too long,” said Curran.

“Everywhere I go, residents ask about pothole-ridden roads. I assure you, we are taking action with an unprecedented aggressive resurfacing strategy. I am proud to introduce these new websites, bringing more transparency to county government allowing taxpayers to see their dollars at work.”

The first website, www.nassau countyny.gov/roadwork will allow the public to see which County Roads were resurfaced in 2018 and which roads will be paved in the 2019 construction season. In 2019, DPW plans on repaving a minimum of 200 lane miles of county roads which more than doubles the number of roads paved in 2018 and is a 177 percent increase since 2017.

As the cold weather has come to

an end, DPW has begun their 2019 resurfacing program. Any changes to planned resurfacing on a specific road will be noted on the website with an explanation.

The second website, www.nassau countyny.gov/myroads will assist residents in understanding which municipality has ownership and thus maintenance responsibilities for every segment of roadway in Nassau County. These websites will outline the Department’s upcoming work associated with resurfacing and also identify which municipality to reach out to report road issues like potholes, worn pavement markings or grass and trash issues.

“Feedback from residents helps DPW identify priorities in their Road Resurfacing Program,” said Curran, noting that with 64 villages, three towns and two cities, the road

jurisdictions within Nassau County can create road blocks to addressing concerns. “This user-friendly website will be used internally and externally as a resource to confirm which municipality is ultimately responsible for each portion of roadway throughout the county to help ensure unsafe roadways are reported correctly and addressed in a timely manner. With these new websites in place, no pothole should fall through the cracks.”

Future upgrades to this site will include providing the user with the designated municipality’s phone number to streamline communication. Potholes on county roads should be reported to the Nassau County Department of Public Works, Highway Maintenance Unit at 516-571-6900 or through the Your Nassau mobile application.

WORD FIND

26A MAY 15 - 21, 2019 • ANTON MEDIA GROUP

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND Sugar industry

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll thrive because you’re willing to adapt your offer to make it a more comfortable and all-around better fit for those who need it. Experiment.

Start with small adjustments, and see how they play. Keep the lines of communication open and honest by reacting positively to all feedback.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll help another through a rough patch of life because you were there once and, after a few good tumbles, you finally got the right shoes for the terrain. Being the steady hand for another person reinforces how far you’ve come. Also, you’ve been too modest. How about allowing yourself to feel good about this?

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What to believe... that is the issue, followed closely by the question of how much to believe it. Arguably, as long as you’re aware that something is indeed a belief, doubt is present. To stand in full commitment of a thing is a powerful position, rarely achieved. This week, you’ll certainly come close!

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There are some situations that can be molded, finessed, figured out and worked out. Other situations are better just left alone. There’s an art to knowing when to cut your losses. It takes intelligence beyond what’s smart and logical.

It takes wisdom. The right thing has more to do with karma than it does with math.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). “Love is an act of endless forgiveness,” said Sir Peter Ustinov.

But what of those who don’t forgive? Do they not love? Perhaps there’s a balance to be struck, a way of learning the nature of others and becoming comfortable with who they are. Such acceptance will be a good stand-in for forgiveness this week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The person who can see things from an opponent’s angle has a distinct advantage over the person who only sees life from a fixed point of reference. Therefore, stubbornness can usually be outwitted by employing qualities such as curiosity, patience and empathy. Apply softer values to win the hard prizes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People don’t pick their friends as often as it would seem.

Circumstances and timing play a bigger role than other things we’d assume would bring people together such as affinity, kindred souls or simple commonalities.

Friendship that’s both convenient and deeply connected is a beautiful gift to celebrate this week.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As the sign that governs the profound energies of life, you’ve an easier time understanding the necessity of contrast. Without the dualities of shadow and light, there’s no image. Without evil, there’s no good. No conflict, no story.

You’re an important presence, a sanity touchstone, and you’ll facilitate a shared reality.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It may seem that those present are on equal footing, but this is just an illusion. The rich, poor, powerful and powerless may speak at equal volume in a certain forum, but the same discrepancies apply when they go back to their regular lives. Justice is never a one-and-done situation. It takes constant vigilance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s a healing taking place in you. Rest assured, it’s a natural process and will happen no faster through any amount of effort or trying.

The part of healing that you have control over is limited. All you can do is remove yourself from the source of harm and carry on down a harmless path.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). One way to revel in attention is to accept a compliment.

Another way is to reject it. Leaning into or away from a thing can have the same effect.

You’ll use the principle to your advantage this week, causing surprise and delight in anyone who forgot that your company can be so rich in unexpected joy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s not really your job to please, entertain or impress anyone. You’ll do all three this week, which is why it’s important to remind yourself that all the good reactions are candy treats and relatively insubstantial. To work too hard for the approval of one or two people is soul-starving. Serve the larger purpose in all things.

MAY 15 - 21, 2019 29A

The engine of the PRR S1, a steam locomotive, ran continuously at 60mph while the fair was open.

FAIR from page 8A address by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, welcoming visitors to the fair. The speech could be seen on a grand total of 200 television sets in the New York area, viewed by 1,000 people. Its symbolism was significant.

RCA president David Sarnoff had wanted to use the fair as television’s debut to a mass audience. That really didn’t happen, but the same year saw the first major league baseball game, one between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds from Ebbets Field, being broadcast. It would take television another two decades before completing its conquest of the living

room, but the World’s Fair is where history was made.

On it went. The IBM exhibit also made a big splash, introducing electric typewriters and electric calculators.

The Continental Baking exhibit included sliced bread, dubbed “wonder bread.” The Ford Pavilion entertained with a race track in perpetual motion by a crew of race car drivers, while the Chrysler exhibit treated visitors to an air-conditioned theater, where they could watch a Plymouth being assembled. The AT&T pavilion showcased a mechanized voice, speaking to amazed attendees. Not to be outdone, Westinghouse debuted a 7-foot-tall robot, “Elektro the Moto-Man,” who

also spoke a few words to visitors.

The fair was remarkably insightful about the future. Representative of this was the Middleton Family: husband, wife and two children who displayed such amenities as an automatic dishwasher. The Middleton family could have been residents of those depicted on the Futurama exhibit, a vast array of towns, highways, homes, automobiles and plant life, all anticipating the suburbia that would emerge in the 1950s.

The stunning display of new technology wasn’t able to defray costs and so the fair’s organizers decided to place a greater emphasis on entertainment rather than innovation as the fair moved into its final year. The

fair closed on Oct. 27, 1940. The fair’s financial failure hardly diminished its importance. Those who attended could never forget the technology on display. Few could imagine the impact—most notably television and air conditioning—that they would have on everyday life. The fair has lived on, celebrated in fiction (E.L. Doctorow’s novel The World’s Fair) and in song (Aimee Mann, “50 Years After The Fair”), with numerous references in popular culture.

The fair represented a tragic grandeur—and a terrible irony. Promising a utopian future, it opened with another world war set to explode. By 1939, Nazi Germany had annexed Austria and Czechoslovakia. In the fall of 1939, a British war guarantee to Poland over any German aggression was shattered by the Sept. 1, 1939, invasion of that Eastern European nation. The world of tomorrow turned out to be another global conflict, one even more devastating than World War I. All of this was hardly the fault of a group of patriotic New York businessmen who needed to put their city back on the map again. Which they did. Less than 30 years later, the World Fair’s returned to that same exact Flushing destination, for the World’s Fair of 1964, which also attracted millions from around the world.

Grill

BY STEVE MOSCO

SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

A

s National Barbecue day ignites the outdoor cooking season this month, many purists are quick to remind us that true barbecue is all about low and slow—that thing you do in the backyard with hot dogs and hamburgers, that’s grilling not barbecuing. And of course, they’re right. But don’t for one flickering second feel bad about standing in your backyard, standing in front of your Weber grill with propane blazing and a spatula in your hand.

Real chefs burn brightest when they are outdoors standing in front of flames with plenty of meat at hand and all the tools of the barbecue trade at their side.

But grillmasters don’t need complicated and time-consuming dishes like pulled pork and brisket. Sometimes, the simplest fare is the real anatomy of a barbecue.

Hot dogs always deliver that classic backyard barbecue flavor.

But hold the hamburgers for just a moment—give the lowly hot dog some love by making it the focus of an upcoming backyard grilling party. Top dogs of the grill include Nathan’s beef franks with natural casing.

The beefy, garlicky dog provides the perfect snap when grilled just right and the natural casing is gentler on the human anatomy.

Hebrew National dogs are great if you’re looking for a reduced-fat frank that doesn’t skimp on flavor.

For an organic option, grab a pack of Applegate Farms hot dogs for a more wholesome, yet surprisingly full-flavored weenie.

When it’s time to graduate from hot dogs, the natural next step is sausage.

This summer, millions of burgers will hit the grill.

This plumper, more dynamically flavored cousin of the traditional frankfurter is loaded with fats that graciously melt and drip onto the flames, causing flare ups that impart a flavorful char on the sausage. A grocery’s meat department has plenty of freshly ground sausages to choose from, but go beyond the traditional and order some gourmet creations online.

Kreuz Market (www. kreuzmarket.com) out of Lockhart, TX, ships intensely smoked Texas sausage; D’Artagnan (www.dartagnan.com) offers wild game sausages including wild boar, rabbit and venison; and Fontanini (www.fontanini.com) provides that classically spiraled Italian sausage rope in both sweet and hot varieties.

Backyard barbecue season officially kicks off

Keep a close eye on your backyard steak.

Getting back to burgers, those pre-formed patties at the food store are best for massive cookouts when bulk is the name of the game. But if there is time, steer clear of that shortcut and attempt to grind your own burger.

Buying a few pounds of rib-eye for grinding lessens the chance for nasty E.coli to take hold, while also ensuring that your hamburgers are the product of one or two cows, rather than an amalgamation of cattle.

A professional grinding machine can cost hundreds of dollars, but a less expensive option is a grinder attachment to your standard mixer. These range anywhere from $50 to $130 and do the job just as well. For a full demonstration on grinding your own meat for hamburgers, visit the barbecue wizards at www.weber.com.

As for the bread cradling your weenies, sausages and patties, you need buns strong enough to hold up to the

Sausages split, rip and spurt forth luscious juice. juice, yet soft enough to yield lovingly to each bite. In this writer’s opinion, the boss bun for such a task is found at your local grocery store: Martin’s Potato Rolls, God’s gift to store-bought meat buns. The soft, buttery texture provides a pleasant bite, while hardily soaking up the moist essence of any meat. Martin’s Potato Rolls also toast spectacularly on the grill without falling apart into a shredded bread mess.

But when steak is the name of the grill game, buns aren’t necessary. In these cases, certain steaks fare better on the barbecue than others—cuts like flat iron, rib-eye, t-bone and strip sport enough fat to cause those all-important flare ups. The rib-eye is perhaps the world’s finest steak, with a tender combination of luxuriousness and a wallop of beefy flavor. Opt for the bone-in version for that nose-to-tail cowboy feel. No need to locate the best mail-order steak here—instead, take a

trip to Center Cuts in Roslyn (382 Willis Ave.) and ask the butcher for a gander at their bone-in cowboy rib-eye, part of the store’s daily menu.

Don’t forget about chicken. This easy-to-overlook bird has a roost all its own on the grill. Each part of the chicken cooks at different temperatures and for different amounts of time on the grill—and, of course, flavors vary as well. While the breast does have a tendency to go dry, it is often a favorite among guests. To make it a more exciting bite, buy thick, whole chicken breasts and butterfly-cut them before marinating in your choice of sauce, like Sweet Baby Ray’s Sweet Golden Mustard Barbecue sauce. It’s a unique take on the finger-licking spectrum, but it is most definitely worth a try.

When you’re in the backyard with grill tools in hand, keep it simple this summer—but don’t skimp on the outdoor flavor.

Industrious backyard cooks can grill chicken in ambitious ways.

e lives in a pineapple under the sea all while being absorbent, yellow and porous, and is now making his way to toy shelves in honor of his 20th anniversary on Nickelodeon. SpongeBob SquarePants has emerged as a global pop culture phenomenon since first premiering on the network in July 1999 and has been the most-watched animated program for more than 17 consecutive years.

It has been seen into more than 208 countries and translated in more than 55 languages.

All thanks to Alpha Group US, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Alpha—one of the leading animation and toy companies in China, fans of all ages can now bring home some awesome collectibles and toys from SpongeBob CulturePants vinyl figures to Slimeez with Nickelodeon Slime to Exsqueeze Me Plush toys and much more.

“It’s been a brand that has been around for so long since it’s now in its 20th year,” said Kim Norris, who is the senior director of global marketing at Alpha Group. “It’s a powerhouse and pop culture brand, and it has an incredible following. Also, it’s all about story and that story has been told for so long. The show is on every single day on Nickelodeon. It’s also multigenerational, which is pretty cool. So

we were interested in the brand for that reason.”

Plus, the timing was just right for Alpha Group to take on the SpongeBob brand, capitalizing on the 20th anniversary and feature movie that is coming out in May 2020.

“From the perspective of tapping into the brand, it was just a monumental time to push it from all angles and we could complement it with new and

exciting ways through our toy designs,” said Amrtiz Lay, who is the senior marketing manager for Alpha Group.

One of the exciting new products to hit shelves is the 8-inch Masterpiece Memes figures that bring to life fan-favorite show and movie moments that have become some of the most popular viral memes. Some of the figures that fans can buy are Mocking SpongeBob, Imagination SpongeBob,

Slimeez with Nickelodeon Slime Spongegar and Surprised Patrick, among others.

“The fans themselves have Spongebob in their lives every day through these memes,” explained Lay. “So it made it really easy for us to just pick and choose from the top-used memes. There’s a built-in audience and there’s a hunger for them. We’re super excited about the reception that they received.”

When Alpha Group got the license to make the toys, one of the things the toy company wanted to do was to get out of Bikini Bottom, the home of where SpongeBob and all his nautical friends reside, and do something that hasn’t been done before.

“We have a multi-tier strategy in our product development,” said Morris.

“We have one that’s very focused on kids and one that is very focused on the collectors and the fans, and in the social digital age it allows us to go after those fans.”

Also for the first time ever, SpongeBob and the iconic green Nickelodeon slime come together in Alpha Group’s new SpongeBob Slimeez figures.

“Through our Slimeez products, it’s the first time that SpongeBob is partnered with official Nickelodeon

slime,” said Lay. “It’s a great way to take it on the go. It comes in a blind bag so they don’t really know what they’re getting and there’s a play pattern that is all the hype right now. It’s a great assortment of all the key characters of the ‘Krusty’ crew.”

Lay also mentioned how the toy company’s plush character toys have been a popular item to buy including the Exsqueeze Me interactive plush that burps and farts that feature both SpongeBob and Patrick. The company is also excited about the Giggle Blaster that is launching this fall.

“The Giggle Blaster has party string and you just insert any party string in there and when you pull the trigger it shoots the party string about 15 feet,” said Morris. “When you trigger it, it makes all these different sounds and phrases from SpongeBob. So even when you run out of the string, you still have a lot of play value. It’s been really well received.”

This fall, Alpha Group is also putting out a large scale SpongeBob plush that will have a 20th anniversary logo sewn onto his back. The commemorative plush will also tell jokes when you pull SpongeBob’s tie.

“For both of those products [the Giggle Blaster and the SpongeBob commemorative plush], we recorded with Tom Kenny, so they’re all fresh recordings and deliveries especially the Giggle Blaster,” said Lay. Fans of SpongeBob can purchase these brand new toys at Target, Amazon, Walmart.com, and Hot Topic.

THE SPORTS DESK

Big Stage Bethpage T

BY CHRISTOPHER BIRSNER

he PGA Championship is about to tee off and the focus of coverage will be on many major names in the world of golf.

Tiger Woods, Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka are just a few of the pro golfers coming to Farmingdale to compete on Bethpage Black. But its always good to look for the guys that aren’t on anyone’s radar, especially those with Long Island ties. Enter Jason Caron.

“When I was a kid, I played baseball and hockey,” said Caron, who grew up in Cape Cod, Massachusetts and currently lives in Greenlawn.

“I just kind of got introduced to the game [of golf].

There was a guy that was from my hometown that played on the PGA Tour. When he was in town, we would hang out and I watched him golf. It became the sport that I wanted to pursue.”

Caron spent a lot of time working to get to the level he is at today. He turned pro in 1994 when he was in his mid-teens and continued playing in tournaments for a few years after until he got his first crack at the PGA tournament in 2000.

“I played in my first tour tournament in Hawaii,” said Caron. “It was great. Back then, I was playing full-time and I got my tour card. I played like 60 events out there on the PGA Tour over the years.

At the time it was just a part of my life and my job so it was great experience and I’m glad I did it for a long time.”

Jason Caron hit his tee shot on the second hole during the final round for the 52nd PGA Professional Championship held at Belfair. (Photo by Darren Carroll/PGA of America) Caron began to settle down but continued working to become an expert of the game. He started working at the courses themselves, spending three years as an employee at a country club in Westchester before applying for and becoming club pro at Mill River Club in Oyster Bay in 2014.

“Now I have a career and a family, so things are a lot different and I don’t miss [the tour],” said Caron.

Still, Caron continues to play in the occasional tournament and wanted to pursue playing in the PGA Championship. He earned the chance to play in the tournament after competing in the Metropolitan PGA Showcase in Bluffton, South Carolina. Although he did not have high expectations going into the tournament since he didn’t play much in the winter, he ended up shooting well enough to advance to the final round and claim fourth place. The placement gave him a one-way ticket to Bethpage Black.

He has played in a major before: The 2009 U.S. Open, which also happened to be played at Bethpage Black. His experience on the course is sure to help him when he tees off on May 16.

“The golf course is the hottest, fairest course I’ve ever played on,” said Caron. “Its just a really good test. Being able to play the New York State Open there every year helps. It’s going to be a monster.

The golf course is so good tee to green, its hard to put into words.”

He is hoping to focus on the aspects of the game that he has excelled in, which includes keeping the ball in play and focusing on not shooting high.

“Par is a big score out there,” said Caron. “I don’t need to make a lot of birdies. Its going to be a grind. I like that kind of golf. I have some experience with that and I’ve been playing well lately so that’s always good.”

In the meantime, his wife, Liz Caron, will be rooting for him while he competes on the big stage. She has quite the experience herself on the PGA circuit, participating in 10 majors and also working at the Mill River Club with her husband.

“She is an outstanding player,” said Jason. “She’s played once or twice since we’ve had kids so she’s the real deal. I know how good she is. It’s great because we both understand when things go well and when things don’t go well on the golf course.

The great thing is we have two little girls and they take your mind off of the golf when they say ‘daddy’ or ‘mommy.’”

Watch Caron and all the golfers play at Bethpage Black starting May 16 on TNT and throughout the weekend on TNT and CBS. For more information on the tournament, visit www.pga.com/events/ pgachampionship/2019.
