Schreiber Students Create Vaccinate PW Website BY CAROLINE RYAN

cryan@antonmediagroup.com

chreiber High School Lucas Milgrim and his cousins created the website vaccinatepw. weebly.com to encourage the Port Washington community to get the COVID-19 vaccine. “I had been hearing reports about vaccine hesitancy, and how important it is to address it at a community level, so my cousins and I came up with the idea to do something about it in Port Washington,” Milgrim said. “We wanted to start this website because we knew that we personally could be doing more to help end the pandemic in Port Washington. There are so many things we have all missed out on over the last year, and we wanted to do whatever we could to allow everybody to get back to normalcy. We knew that the only way to realistically do so would be to help in the vaccination effort, and this was the best we could do to promote vaccinations in Port Washington.” The vaccinate Port Washington website features updated information regarding vaccination rules, nearby vaccination sites and information about each vaccine. All the information provided on the site is taken various organizations such as the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organization as well as local resources such as the Port Washington Public Library (PWPL). “Users can be sure that this information is accurate because all of these resources are fact checked numerous times before the information is published, and come from a variety of local, state and federal government resources,” Migrim said. Milgrim stated that the website keeps the Port community informed in a number of ways. “It provides accurate information from various sources about each vaccine, their short-term side effects, and their safety, allowing the Port community to access these facts easily and quickly,” Milgrim said. “We are also trying to make it accessible to many language speakers and are looking for further assistance with that. Secondly, it keeps the community informed about the many opportunities for vaccination nearby so we can work towards a community with immunity.

Additionally, we keep the community informed of informational seminars about the vaccine as well.” Nassau County Executive Laura Curran announced on May 12 that 56 percent of the total Nassau County population had received at least one vaccine dose, including seven out of 10 adults. Curran stated that “the positive impact of Nassau’s high vaccination rate is clear: there have now been four consecutive days with zero COVID-19 deaths in the county.” “I think that all of us have seen the importance of vaccines in recent months, as the amount of COVID cases has been steadily decreasing with the introduction of effective vaccines,” Milgrim stated. “To further spread awareness about the importance of vaccines, I have been making sure to post information about how vaccines have benefited the efforts to end COVID-19 and how they make each person safer, which in turn makes the whole community safer.” Milgrim hopes that spreading awareness through the creation of his website will help those make an

educated decision on whether or not to get vaccinated. “Wherever you go, there is a good chance that some of a town’s population will be hesitant to get a vaccine, especially such a new one,” Milgrim said. “It’s important for these hesitant people to understand the safety of these vaccines so all of Port Washington, and eventually the entire world, can be safe from this virus.” Milgrim and his team are also working with local religious leaders and members of the community to spread the word about the importance of getting the COVID vaccine. “We have been looking to recruit community members to help with this effort by filming short video clips to tell people about their experience with the vaccine,” Milgrim said. “We have approached several community and religious leaders to help with this effort, and would be happy to hear from readers as well.” Anyone interested in submitting a clip can email vaccinatepw@gmail.com. Milgrim and his team plan to keep the website up for as long as possible.

They are hoping that the site will become a resource for people to seek out information or want to learn more about the vaccine. “We definitely will continue to update [the site] with new information and opportunities to get vaccinated in the near future, as we are still in the midst of this pandemic,” Milgrim said. “Hopefully, there is no need for vaccines with this same magnitude again, but we would be eager to help stop vaccine hesitancy against many diseases. We continue to be in touch with others in the community to try to help them promote their programming around the vaccine as well, and we will continue to do so as long as it is necessary.” Visit vaccinatepw.weebly.com to learn more about the COVID-19 vaccine, or for more information about vaccination effort in the Port Washington community.

Port Mother In Urgent Need Of Kidney Donor

he gift of life would be the greatest gift of all for Vivian Jepp, a Port Washington mother of 10-year-old triplet boys who is in desperate need of a kidney transplant. Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D-Glen Cove) is joining the Jepp family, LiveOnNY and local organ donation advocates in an urgent search for a living donor for Jepp, who has endured years of dialysis and two previous attempts at transplants. Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton met with Vivian on Thursday, April 26 during a dome-lighting ceremony commemorating National Donate Life Month. Her search for a donor was sidelined in the spring of 2020 by the COVID-19 pandemic. Now that public health conditions have improved and stabilized, the race is on to find her a match. “Vivian’s story is heartbreaking— and it is a call to action for all of us,” Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton said. “In recent months, I have witnessed the miracle of organ donation first-hand

and seen how a living donor continued to thrive after giving one of my dearest friends her kidney and with it, a renewed lease on life. If you have either A or O-type blood, I urge you to get screened as a potential donor and consider giving Vivian, her husband, and their three boys the greatest gift of all.”

Jepp has navigated health struggles throughout much of her adult life. Shortly after graduating college 33 years ago, she was diagnosed with systemic lupus—an inflammatory disease in which the immune system attacks its own tissue. The disease commonly affects a patient’s joints, skin and kidneys. Jepp was an elementary school

teacher in New York City until five years ago, when her kidneys began to fail. Soon thereafter, she began dialysis treatments. Due to the extensive strain dialysis places on human body and the lengthy wait time for a deceased donor, a living donor represents Jepp’s best chance for surviving and thriving. However, it can be challenging to find willing living donors, and New York State in general has historically been one of the worst states for organ donor registration—a place where the most patients are waiting for the fewest organs. Jepp, who has Type A blood, can receive a transplant from living donors with either A or O-type blood. Contact Legislator DeRiggiWhitton’s office at 516-571-6211 or dderiggiwhitton@nassaucountyny. gov if you are interested in being tested as a possible donor. —Submitted by the office of Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton

Meet This Year’s Memorial Day Parade Grand Marshal

homas R. Pugliese was born on Sackett Street in the Cobble Hill (Red Hook) section of South Brooklyn, the youngest child of Michelina and Vincent Pugliese. Michelina was born in Sorrento, Italy and came to America as a young girl. Tom’s father, Vincent Pugliese was born in Calabria, Italy and came to America as a young man. Michelina and Vincent Pugliese met and married in Savannah Georgia and moved to Brooklyn about 1929. Vincent worked at the Brooklyn waterfront and Michelina was a homemaker and earned money making custom leather gloves. Tom went to St. Paul’s Grammar School and Boys High School in Brooklyn and was mentored by the Brothers of the Saint Francis Monastery Order, who lived next to Tom’s home and for whom Tom did many chores. Upon graduating from Boys High School, Tom noticed an advertisement by a national bank seeking new high school graduates as employees. Tom applied, was hired and was given training as a teller.

Shortly thereafter Tom received a notice on Nov. 2, 1955, informing him that he was being called to military service for his country and was to report to Whitehall Street in Manhattan at 6 a.m. Tom was then 22 years old. His father had died when

he was 13 years old. His mother and sisters depended him. The induction officer understood his concern, but the priority was service to his country. Tom was immediately inducted and advised, “You’re in the army now.” The day before he went to Whitehall Street, Tom celebrated a farewell party with his colleagues at a restaurant. The farewells lasted until late in the evening. During the ensuing years in the army, the manager and colleagues at the bank forwarded to Tom overseas care packages that were gratefully received and shared by Tom and the other soldiers. Soldier Tom was rigorously and vigorously trained at Fort Dix and in due course was shipped to France where he and thousands of others were trained for an invasion if needed in southern France. As a young soldier in France, Tom acquired deep appreciation for the sacrifices and hardships endured by the young men and women called to serve and protect their country. After serving two years, Tom was

honorably discharged from the U.S. Army. He was given a subway token and $20 pay, Tom went home to Butler Street in Brooklyn. He courted, Rose, the girl next door, they were married in 1960. Thomas and Rose became residents of Port Washington in 1962. Their children were brought up in Manorhaven, where Tom Pugliese still lives in the house he and his wife purchased in 1962. The two children of the marriage are their son, Vincent Pugliese who now resides in Woodbridge, VA and their daughter Dr. Madeline Pugliese, a pediatrician who lives and works in Port Washington. Madeline is married to Antonio Di Caro and they have five children. Tom has contributed to his community in Manorhaven Village by serving on the Ethics Committee. He returned to his banking career after being discharged from the Army. His banking career spanned 48.9 years. His work included many banking positions, auditing, monitoring foreign currency

stated a notice to proceed with the project on track to be issued as early as this fall. “After years of working collaboratively and diligently with community stakeholders, I am delighted that we are quickly approaching the start of this long-awaited investment in Manorhaven’s future prosperity and

beauty,” Legislator Delia DeRiggiWhitton said. “I’d thankful for Mayor [Jim] Avena’s partnership in this effort, and the efforts of the village’s Tree Commission for issuing guidance that resulted in all but four trees being saved in the final resurfacing plan. We are all looking forward to getting this project done right so that its many

Part of those funds are drawn from a $600,000 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant that legislators voted unanimously to allocate toward the project on Monday, April 26. In separate action that same day, the County also authorized the County to pursue $1.1 million in bonding for the Manorhaven Boulevard project as part of its larger $49.2-million bond ordinance. “Manorhaven is grateful to Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton and the County for sharing our vision for the Village and investing in this important project,” Village of Manorhaven Mayor Avena said. “Between paving Manorhaven Boulevard, sidewalk and curb repairs, lamp posts, benches and other improvements, Port Washington’s second main street will look spectacular.”

AROUND LONG TOPISLAND STORY

Taxes, Assessment Are Talking Points Curran, Blakeman shape campaign messages

BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

ounty Executive Laura Curran made it official on May 11, launching her reelection campaign in front of the Theodore Roosevelt Executive and Legislative Building in Mineola. Nassau County Democratic Committee Chairman Jay Jacobs cited Republican icon Ronald Reagan’s famous line from his successful 1980 presidential campaign—”Are you better off now than you were four years ago?”—to make the case for his candidate. In her remarks, Curran stated, “After running for and serving on my school board and then the county legislature, I saw a real problem here in Nassau County: Our elected officials were taking our trust for granted, betraying the faith we put in them and putting themselves ahead of our taxpayers. We all witnessed the results of a culture of corruption and we were all left footing the bill. I decided to step up and do something about it. I wanted our county government to live up to the hardworking people who call Nassau home. That’s why I ran and that’s how I’ve governed.” Curran never mentioned her Republican predecessor, Ed Mangano, by name. Mangano was indicted by the federal government in October 2016, and after a second trial was convicted of several charges, including conspiracy to commit federal program bribery and conspiracy to obstruct justice in March 2019. His wife Linda was also found guilty and the couple is awaiting sentencing while seeking a new trial. Curran, then in her first year as county legislator, narrowly defeated Republican Jack Martins in 2017 to become the first woman county executive. In addition to anti-corruption measures related to campaign donations, the county executive also took

Georgica Green Seeks Additional Financial Assistance For Affordable Housing Build BY KATHERINE ALEXIS ATHANASIOU

glencoverecordpilot@antonnews.com

n Thursday, May 6, Glen Cove Mayor Timothy Tenke led the city’s Industrial Development Agency (IDA) in a virtual public hearing regarding the development of the Block G area. Georgica Green Ventures LLC (GGV) is a real estate development company specializing in creating more affordable housing units on Long Island and the surrounding regions. While the IDA already approved GGV’s proposed plan for 55 affordable housing units on Glen Cove’s waterfront as well as granting additional financial assistance initially, most recently the developers have submitted an amended application and are requesting “additional exemptions from sales and use taxes, additional exemptions from mortgage recording taxes, and an exemption from real property taxes for a period of 10 years.” Dan Deegan, an attorney representing the applicant, stated that if executed as expected, the proposed project would “represent a $32 million dollar investment into the Glen Cove Waterfront.” Project funding comes from a mixture of public and private sources, as is common with affordable housing developments. Given the mix of funding sources, including funds from New York State, the project Deegan went on to say, would be under a 50-year regulatory agreement, meaning that the development would need to remain as affordable housing for the next 50 years. He also reminded viewers that Block G, along with the entire waterfront, is subject to a master tax agreement (MTA), which is already in place. The MTA allowed for a 20-year pilot agreement, in which a $1,000 per unit pilot payment is required, regardless of if the units are affordable housing or luxury units. Deegan stated that $1,000 per unit is “very high for an affordable housing project.” In the past, GGV along with other affordable housing developers typically pay either “half or a quarter of that per unit in order to it affordable.” There is no denying the impact the pandemic has had on the states’ economy. Deegan stated that due to the state changing the mix of funding sources and an unexpectedly rapid increase in construction costs, they are requesting additional financial

affordable housing belongs in every community and notes diversity of age, race, religion, and income make our communities better. In addition to providing affordable senior housing across the island, Gallo notes that GGV has developed high-quality housing units for homeless veterans in Coney Island and is currently developing housing units for survivors of domestic violence in Westchester, amongst many other projects. Mayor Tenke also expressed his sentiments on the build. “This is the first new project that is coming into Glen Cove that is seeking to build truly affordable housing, which I can tell you from the number A rendering of other housing projects completed by Georgica Green of phone calls I get, is very much Ventures (Screenshot by Katherine Alexis Athanasiou) needed in our city,” he said.

Pilot Multi-Grade Hybrid Program At Manetto Hill Jewish Center

anetto Hill Jewish Center’s Religious School announced to its members and the community the formation of a unique multi-grade pilot program for the school year. Students will continue to attend two days a week. This program will allow parents to choose the day of the week that their children will attend the multi-grade program, while continuing a one day a week traditional class learning. This will be the first time parents will have the option to choose between Sunday or Monday classes, allowing the students more options in participating in religious school and other activities. This program will group together children of different ages in a way to enhance learning experiences and to enrich curriculum. During the Sunday/Monday options, the children will be placed together by appropriate age groupings while maintaining

the traditional class structure on Wednesdays. The Sunday/Monday curriculum will be identical with a specialized Wednesday curriculum for each age group. By offering the Sunday option, Manetto Hill Jewish Center will be able to explore other options for a monthly class for children below traditional religious school age. In an email to its membership, the multi-grade hybrid program was developed due to increased requests from existing members and the community. While continuing the traditional lessons learned within a Hebrew School, this program will introduce students to lessons about holidays, cooking, arts and crafts, Bible stories and other segments of Jewish life.

College Student Helps Residents Get Vaccinated

That’s where the group’s volunteers come in.

East Hills Mayor Gives Budget Update

While it remains unconfirmed that 11 years sets a more widespread record at the county level, or otherwise, the continued passage of our budget without tax increases is an accomplishment, and I thank our board and our executive staff as well. With the advent of coronavirus, we continue to face many new and significant challenges. However, even with the obstacles we face, the village is projected to maintain approximately $3 million surplus at the close of the fiscal year. As a result of the economy still flagging due to COVID, we expect reduced revenues, which range from defaults in

this budget we will be prepared for status quo in revenues. Our costs will be contained because we have further eliminated and minimized all unnecessary costs. We have previously replaced most of our fleet of trucks and vehicles. We also save an estimate $150,000 by not having an additional village administrator and by managing the village directly by myself and the board. We are proud that we continued to earn one of Moody’s highest bond Mayor Michael Koblenz, (center) ratings, Aa1, of any village our size. joined by, (from left) Trustees Clara Pomerantz, Brian Meyerson, Stacey We are also invigorated that this past Siegel and Deputy Mayor Manny year we once again received one of Zuckerman.

I want to express my gratitude to our Village Attorney, Bill Burton, Village Justice Howard Jaslow, Village Clerk Donna Gooch and all department heads. It should be stressed that village taxes generally amount to only 16 to 17 percent of all taxes paid by our residents. Yet, even with our rather meager portion of all taxes paid, we shoulder the entire costs of sanitation, snow removal, paving our roads, security, the pool, the park, administration for our programs and fire protection. —Submitted by the Village of East Hills Mayor Michael Koblenz

addressed the membership and challenged them to take up the cause of the blind and visually impaired, and that became the club’s signature issue. Today, with more than 1.4 million members worldwide and clubs in

more than 200 countries, Lions is the world’s largest service organization. Early last year the Great Neck club embarked on a membership drive,

A steady stream of traffic drove through the contactless drive-thru site—amounting to 209 cars that collectively dropped off 563 pounds of unused or expired pharmaceuticals as well as 12.5 full containers of medical sharps (EpiPens, needles, etc.). In fact, the district has now collected more than one ton of unused and unwanted pharmaceuticals since the program began in 2017. “Despite the challenges presented

by the pandemic, more members of the community came out to the district to bring their expired and unused medications in order to properly dispose of them than ever before,” Great Neck Water Pollution Control District Chairman Steve Reiter, said. “With over 200 cars passing through our contactless drive-thru, it continues to be seen that the community’s residents are environmentally-conscious and that the program is still picking up momentum since its inception four years ago.” The biannual event, hosted in partnership with Reach Out America, Great Neck Breast Cancer Coalition, North Shore Action, Nassau County Police,

Syosset Woman Serves As Surrogate For Sister

t was a big day for baby Riley Monte who celebrated her birthday on May 11 at Katz Women’s Hospital at North Shore University Hospital (NSUH). That’s because the tiny newborn, who weighed in at seven pounds, three ounces, was surrounded by her parents, Katie and Joe Monte, of Bayside, Queens, and her aunt Christine and Uncle Glenn Zammit, of Syosset. Riley already enjoys a close bond with her aunt Christine, who served as a surrogate for her younger sister. Because her sister was diagnosed at 15 months with cystic fibrosis, her life was filled with many medical challenges, Zammit explained. “My sister is a miracle,” said Zammit. “Back in 2011, she underwent a double lung transplant. A few years later, because of further complications, she was told that she’d need a kidney transplant.” Although other family members volunteered to donate a kidney, Zammit was the closest match; the kidney transplant took place in 2014. “When Katie married Joe, she asked me if I’d be willing to carry a baby for her,” said Zammit. “I’ve led a very blessed life; I have two beautiful

Dr. Randi Rothstein, new parents, Katie and Joe Monte, and Dr. Michael Nimaroff children and a wonderful husband. When my sister was born, we were told she probably wouldn’t graduate high school. So, when she asked, my husband and decided to go for it.” Monte and her husband had tried several times to start a family with a variety of methods. She began

harvesting her eggs in 2019, and was delighted to learn that the procedure “took” in August 2020. “Being able to hold my baby is nothing short of a miracle,” said Monte. “I had my double lung transplant on Nov. 11, 2011. Now, my beautiful baby was born on May 11.

This is definitely a miracle.” Randi Rothstein, MD, delivered baby Riley at Katz Women’s Hospital at NSUH. She, too agreed that the birth of this baby is not only a miracle, but an important step forward in assisting people who wish to start a family. “Paid surrogacy became legal in New York in February,” said Rothstein. “But this wouldn’t have been an issue for these sisters, because the new law didn’t affect people in the same family. Prior to the law, the baby was delivered via surrogacy and then there would have to be a formal adoption process. With this new law, that whole process much easier for new parents and a huge development for New York.” After greeting their doctor and thanking relatives, the new mother summed up her thoughts. “Growing up with cystic fibrosis, I never knew if I could have children— all the procedures, all the medications were always a factor,” said Monte. “But I never gave up. I just kept hoping it would happen. This proves that even when you think something might not happen, you just can’t give up. Every day is a blessing.” —Submitted by Northwell Health

The Surprising Connection Between Hearing Health And COVID-19 BY DIANE NENS

Specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

While COVID-19 most frequently affects the lungs, other parts of the body may also be impacted, such as a loss of taste and smell. For a smaller number of people, instances of hearing loss are emerging, according to the International Journal of Audiology. Some people with hearing loss may be opting to delay treatment, in part due to COVID-19 exposure concerns with in-person medical appointments for testing and care. While hearing aid sales reached nearly 3.5 million in 2020, that represents a significant decline compared to the previous year, which may be attributed to the fact that the average person with hearing loss waits seven years before seeking treatment.

Diane Nens Hearing loss is the third most common chronic condition among older Americans, affecting more than 48 million people. Hearing loss may become even more widespread, in part because of an aging population and the frequent use of earbud headphones, which can contribute to noise-induced hearing loss. Prevention Our ability to hear declines

naturally as we age, especially among people over 65. But exposure to loud sounds—both one-time and cumulatively—can contribute to noise-induced hearing loss. To help reduce your risk, consider limiting exposure to loud sounds and the use of earbud headphones, especially when listening to music or movies on a mobile device. Consider over-the-ear headphones— especially models with noise-canceling properties—as those are generally considered a better option than earbuds. When using earbuds, follow the “60/60 rule”: listen for no more than 60 minutes at a time and at no more than 60 percent of the player’s maximum volume. Signs of Hearing Loss For some people in the early stages of hearing loss, there is an expectation—and hope— the problem will resolve itself

or improve eventually. The reality is hearing loss tends to gradually worsen over time without treatment. Unlike a broken bone or other physical injury, hearing follicles don’t regrow or repair themselves. Once someone has hearing loss, the most effective treatment is usually hearing aids. Common signs of hearing loss include turning up the volume on the TV or radio to levels that others find too loud, having trouble hearing people on the phone, and difficulty following conversations in noisy environments. Evaluate Testing Options Online hearing screeners can help people identify potential signs of hearing loss and start the process for accessing care. Meanwhile, some physicians are starting to offer hearing testing.

Avoiding Treatment While some people may think diminished hearing is merely a nuisance or a sign of aging, it can have a significant impact on people’s overall health and well-being. For instance, people with hearing loss are 32 percent more likely to be hospitalized and have a 300 percent greater risk of falling, according to the Better Hearing Institute. For people in the workforce with hearing loss, the condition reduces household income by an average of $12,000 per year; the use of hearing aids can mitigate up to 50 percent of that loss. By considering these tips, people may be able to maintain or improve their hearing health and contribute to their overall well-being. —Diane Nens is an audiologist and senior clinical director with UnitedHealthcare Hearing.

UNRUPTURED BRAIN ANEURYSMS: What You Wanted To Know CURABLE? ALMOST ALL ARE.

Unruptured Brain Aneurysm

With specialized catheters and implants brain aneurysms can be plugged up and silenced. For some, surgery is a good option. Pregnancy in women with brain aneurysms is a challenge and requires specialized care.

WHAT IS IT? WEAKENED VESSEL WALL.

IF UNTREATED? MONITORING IS KEY.

A weakened spot on the arterial wall allows an aneurysm to form and to grow. On imaging, a bulge can be seen on a brain artery (image).

More and more brain aneurysms are found incidentally because of the increasing number of brain imaging performed in the US. In most cases, the risk of the treatment procedure is unfavorable compared to the risk of future events with careful monitoring and medical management of risk factors.

DEADLY? - ONLY WHEN THEY RUPTURE. Brain aneurysms may cause symptoms when they grow. However, it is when they burst when it becomes life-threatening.

SOME FACTS. Approximately 3% of the US population have a brain aneurysm. Most of the time, there is a single brain aneurysm. When the vessel wall is intact, it is called unruptured. When the aneurysm bursts or ruptures, it will cause a brain bleed, so-called subarachnoid hemorrhage or SAH.

THE CAUSE? Inflammation, genetic factors, smoking, illicit drug and alcohol abuse, and untreated hypertension are known risk factors. More women have brain aneurysms.

Avoid Running Into Trouble Foot Pain, Swelling Could Signal Stress Fracture

ow that spring has arrived, we’ll be spending more time outdoors. Many people will return to walking or running for exercise or playing outdoor sports after being cooped up at home over the winter. It’s the time of year doctors tend to see an increase in overuse injuries, which occur from repetitive stress on a muscle, bone or joint over time. People often develop this type of injury after ramping up a sport or athletic activity too quickly. One of the most common overuse injuries is a stress fracture, and the foot is particularly vulnerable, according to Mark Drakos, MD, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in foot and ankle injuries at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) in New York City and medical director of HSS Long Island in Uniondale. Repeated impact on a bone that is starting to weaken from overdoing it can eventually lead to a small break or crack. A stress fracture does not cause the bone to shift position. “When people think of bones, they think they’re hard like metal, but the bones in the foot are more like tree branches,” said Drakos, who is an assistant team orthopedist for the New York Knicks. “They can bend a little bit, and if you bend them enough times, they can crack; the foot is one of the most common locations to sustain a stress fracture because we are constantly on our feet.” The foot is an anatomical marvel, with 26 small bones, 33 joints and a network of more than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments that work together to support our body weight, provide stability, and allow movement. Our feet are designed to absorb a tremendous amount of force with every step we take. Stress fractures are often seen in runners, in athletic people who participate in high-impact repetitive sports and in older people who have weakened

Dr. Mark Drakos bones, Drakos said. Individuals who don’t rest adequately in between workouts or keep playing a sport despite exhaustion are at increased risk, as are people who take steroids. David Wang, MD, a primary sports medicine physician at HSS Paramus in New Jersey, saw an increase in stress fractures in people who were inactive during the pandemic lockdown and then resumed an activity too quickly. “The challenge is that when you’ve been inactive for so long, the body gets weaker and cannot handle an activity at the previous intensity,” he Wang explained. “We still want people to be active, and the cliché I always use is ‘slow and steady wins the race.’ The key is to gradually build up your activity to make sure your body can handle the load. If you’ve never run before and want to start running, for example, start with walking first, then jogging and then gradually start running.” The main symptom of a stress fracture is pain, which generally occurs in the spot where the bone is broken, according to Drakos. People may also experience swelling and bruising. Anyone who may have suffered a stress fracture is advised to immediately stop any activity that is causing the

discomfort. The main treatment for a stress fracture is rest. For pain that comes on suddenly, people can try using ice and elevating their foot to see if the pain improves. If it doesn’t get better after a few hours or people start experiencing pain on days they’re not working out, the experts recommend seeing a doctor. A stress fracture is diagnosed based on a discussion with one’s doctor about recent activities, any possible injury and where the pain is felt. The physician will examine the foot and order X-rays. Sometimes a CT scan or MRI is also prescribed to make the diagnosis. Surgery is rarely needed for a stress fracture, according to Drakos. “As a general rule, many fractures of the foot can be treated without surgery by wearing protective shoe wear: either an orthopedic boot or a hard-soled shoe,” said Drakos. “People can generally put weight their foot when wearing the protective footwear.” Most stress fractures heal in four to six weeks. Drakos said lifestyle choices and good habits can lower the risk of developing a stress fracture, not only in the foot, but in other bones as well. He said people should support their bone health with adequate consumption of calcium and vitamin D. He has seen many patients who were found to be deficient in vitamin D, which can also affect healing. Drakos also stressed the importance of wearing supportive shoes. “Flimsy footwear such as flip flops or ballet slippers do not provide adequate support,” he said. “We take more than a million steps a year. So, if you take 5,000 to 10,000 steps a day in shoes that aren’t giving you a lot of support, it’s that much extra stress on your feet with every step you take.” —Submitted by Hospital for Special Surgery

Drugs Program Has Disposed Tons Of Unused Drugs

ing Kullen launched their pharmaceutical take-back program in November of 2014 and collected over one ton of unused drugs within the first year. In 2016, the program was expanded to include narcotics and King Kullen became the first supermarket pharmacy on Long Island to be a certified narcotics collector by the Federal DEA. “The King Kullen program continues to prove the public will stop flushing drugs when convenient, free pharmaceutical take-back programs are available,” said Adrienne Esposito, executive director for Citizens Campaign for the Environment (CCE). “Since the launch of this program over six years ago, more Long Islanders are opting for safe disposal options and there is no sign of the King Kullen’s program slowing down.”

The program has continued to grow at unprecedented rates, with 16,700+ pounds (more than eight tons) of unused medication collected and safely disposed of to date. The program is free to the public and take-back boxes are located in all 10 King Kullen pharmacies on Long Island. “Thanks to this program, over eight tons of unused drugs, which could have ended up contaminating our sole-source aquifer, bays, or estuaries, were instead disposed of safely,” said Esposito. “CCE salutes King Kullen for their continued leadership in the fight against pharmaceutical pollution on Long Island, and thanks the public for choosing not to flush unwanted medications.” Visit www.citizenscampaign. org to learn more. —Submitted by Citizens Campaign for the Environment

The elimination targets are to diagnose 90 percent of people with hepatitis C, treat 80 percent of those diagnosed and eligible for treatment, reduce new hepatitis C infections by 90 percent and reduce liver-related mortality by 65 percent. The question that every country must ask itself is “what does it take to reach these goals?” Hepatitis C elimination requires the political will and support of a nation’s leaders, social pressure from affected communities, harm reduction measures to reduce new infections, minimal cost testing and easy access treatment with simple management, inadequate linkage to care and the lack of treaters. The hepatitis C disease burden in the United States

THE SPECIALIST David Bernstein, MD

is estimated to be about 2.4 million people, even though millions of people have already been treated and cured. Since 2009, there has been a 300 percent increase in hepatitis C incidence, a 71 percent increase in the rate of acute hepatitis cases with the highest incidence in ages 20-39 and a bimodal distribution of

reported cases, with peaks in age ranges 25-35 and 55-65. The U.S. has the third highest number of hepatitis C related deaths after China and India. The current treatments for hepatitis C infection cure 94-99 percent of all first-time people being treated and salvage therapy cures 99 percent of the 1-6 percent of patients who fail initial treatments. Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services laid out a roadmap for the elimination of hepatitis C that contained five main goals. These goals are to: prevent new viral hepatitis infections, improve viral hepatitis related outcomes in people with hepatitis C, reduce viral hepatitis related disparities and health inequalities, improve viral hepatitis surveillance and data usage and achieve integrated, coordinated efforts that address the hepatitis C epidemics among

partners and stakeholders. While this federal document is a first step from a policy standpoint, no cabinet level leaders or above have endorsed it, it does not set any specifics on how to meet these goals and it has no dollars behind it so there is no implementation plan. States do not have to follow this roadmap so we are left with each of the 50 states making their own rules regarding hepatitis C treatments. All 50 states are rated regarding their hepatitis C access to therapy. New York is one of the few states to achieve an A plus rating. The state developed a Viral Hepatitis Strategic Plan in 2005 and has revised it every five years. Unlike the federal plan, money was put behind it to get things done. In 2014, New York enacted the first law for mandatory hepatitis C testing, in 2017 the governor established a

hepatitis C elimination task force and the New York State Department of Health published guidelines to expand hepatitis C treaters. New York eliminated all fibrosis, sobriety and prescriber restrictions and most recently, removed the need for prior authorization to make access to therapy easier. Even with all these processes in place, New York is not on target to meet the WHO hepatitis C elimination goals by 2030, but it is on target to meet these goals by 2035. New York could meet these goals earlier than 2035 if policies were put in place to prevent new infections which remain on the rise in our area. David Bernstein, MD, FAASLD, FACG, AGAF, FACP, is the vice chair of medicine for clinical trials and chief of hepatology at the Sandra Atlas Bass Center for Liver Diseases.

LETTERS EVA JONES: NURSE HERO My amazing sister, Eva Jones, RN, is the exemplary model of a nurse who is compassionate, caring and expertly skilled. With 35 years of dialysis experience, Eva offers the ultimate level of competence, bringing heart and kindness to ensure her patients’ smoothest and most comfortable sessions three times per week. They feel her love and confidence and are glad Eva’s in charge. She contacted CBS news to facilitate priority vaccination

status for dialysis patients and workers, which was a forgotten sector. Patients shower her with gifts to show their appreciation. Through pandemic, Eva worked in a COVID-only outpatient dialysis clinic every day, sometimes up to 105 hours in a two-week period, perpetually short staffed because other staff called out, opening the clinic at 4 a.m. and leaving at 10 or 11 p.m. Think about that. When a situation

lands in your lap and you step up to the plate to do what is necessary, that’s an extraordinary person with a conscience. No drum rolls or bugles; just one angel reporting to duty and serving from her abundance. And if you do the same, thank you. You are not alone. Thank God for nurse angels like Eva Jones. May God bless all you wonderful nurses. —Maxine Cappel Mayreis, DC, DACS

SUPPORT ALZHEIMER’S CAREGIVER SUPPORT ACT I am writing to thank Congressman Tom Suozzi for agreeing to support the Alzheimer’s Caregiver Support Act. Most people don’t know that more than 11 million Americans provide unpaid care for the more than six million Americans who are living with Alzheimer’s. As a

former caregiver for my mother, I understand firsthand the impact this disease has on families. My father and I cared for my mother for more than 20 years, watching her literally lose her ability to think or function. During that time, we were often at our wits end trying to find the

resources we needed to manage my mother’s care. If the bipartisan Caregiver Act is signed into law, it would provide grants to expand training and support services for caregivers, helping family members like me and my father navigate the often confusing, frustrating and exhausting world of

dementia care. Not only has Congressman Suozzi shown sensitivity to the needs of caregivers, he also has consistently supported appropriations for research devoted to finding a treatment for Alzheimer’s, most recently the proposed $289 million increase for research at

the National of Health for FY2022. Many thanks to him as well as Cindy Rogers and Steven Peterson of his office for always responding to our calls for help. —Kathy Distler, Jericho resident and Alzheimer’s Association Ambassador to Congressman Suozzi

House Fire Claims The Lives Of Three Residents BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

he community is mourning the loss of three residents that died in an early morning house fire that occurred on Washington Avenue in Garden City earlier this month. According to the Garden City Police Department, officers responded to the home on Washington Avenue after receiving a call about the fire at around 5:30 a.m. on May 6. When officers arrived, they observed the home fully engulfed in flames. The Garden City Fire Department responded along with eight other fire departments to extinguish the blaze. There were approximately 11 fire apparatus’ and 50 fire personnel who also responded to the scene. After the fire, it was determined that the victims who died were Gail Madigan, 60, Molly Madigan, 18, and Joe Madigan, 62. Nassau County Police Arson Bomb Squad responded, along with the Nassau County Fire Marshall, and determined that there weren’t any working smoke detectors within the home. The Garden City Board of Trustees ordered all flags in the village to be lowered to half-staff following the fire. “It’s a tragic day in Garden City,” Mayor Cosmo Veneziale said, requesting a moment of silence prior to the start of the May 6 board meeting. Newly appointed Fire Commissioner Trustee Tom O’Brien thanked village police and fire personnel for their heroic actions. “Our thoughts are with their family and friends at this time,” he said. Molly, who was a senior at Garden City High School, was set to attend New York University in the fall for music education. “As many of you know, singing and performing were Molly’s passion,” Garden City Schools Superintendent Kusum Sinha said in a statement. “She was an accomplished musician, performing in our high school chamber and concert choirs, as well as our vocal jazz ensemble. She was selected to the NAfME All-Eastern Choir this year, in addition to receiving NYSSMA All-State honors in 2019 and 2020. She was a member of the NMEA All-County Choir for the past seven years, a remarkable achievement for any musician. I have had the honor of hearing Molly sing on several occasions from her performances to special events. Her voice was one of an angel. In addition to being a talented musician, Molly served as the secretary of the high school’s Best Buddies Club and was a member of the school’s Peer Educators Leadership Program. On top of that, she played varsity badminton, volunteered her time through the National Charity League and worked a part-time job.

Molly was a student at the Music Academy for over a decade, and we watched as she grew into an incredible musician and person.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR STATEMENT BY FRIENDS OF THE BAY REGARDING TOWN PRESS RELEASE ABOUT BAY MANAGEMENT PLAN Friends of the Bay has been advocating—to the town and other interested parties—for the development of a Bay Management Plan for many years. It has long been our belief that a large standing stock of shellfish is a significant benefit to water quality and the ecosystems of Oyster Bay and Cold Spring Harbor. Now, with oysters and clams significantly reduced in these waters, the creation of a management plan is more essential than ever. And the town moving ahead with the idea couldn’t come too soon. It is important to have

a large standing stock to ensure that the benefits realized by having a shellfish population continue. Such a standing stock can be provided simultaneously by a thriving aquaculture industry and areas set aside as sanctuaries. Growers, who primarily cultivate oysters, must always have a large stock of shellfish in various growth stages to ensure adequate supply throughout the year. Sanctuaries are also important to make sure that there are always reproductive-age shellfish to repopulate the bay and to support commercial harvesters. The

town’s hatchery program is an important step toward repopulating the bay. A successful Bay Management Plan must also deal with other issues that are critical to maintaining the waterways’ ecological health. Toward that end, the plan should include methods for improving stormwater management; reducing pollution from cesspools and septic tanks; and addressing downtown and waterfront development. Friends of the Bay as well as other groups and commercial interests have been promised input into

creation of the plan and seats on an advisory committee. In order to ensure success, everyone with a stake in the bay must be included and they must work together to ensure the future of the waterways. Friends of the Bay, which has made specific suggestions in the past for inclusion in the plan, looks forward to cooperating and helping the town in its efforts. —Bill Bleyer, Friends of the Bay Editor’s note: This letter is in response to the town’s release that appeared in last week’s edition on page 26.

BUILDING BACK A BETTER NASSAU COUNTY Over the past few years, we have witnessed the middle class in Nassau County strain to support their families. The pandemic exacerbated these struggles, making it clear that the problems we’ve put on the back burner for decades can no longer be ignored. Residents of Nassau County will come back stronger than ever under the

American Jobs Plan. Nassau County is seeking $2.08 billion for 27 projects that would generate 7,400 good paying jobs. Among the County’s proposals, Nassau University Medical Center would receive millions of dollars, which would dedicate two entire floors of the hospital to providing the best medical services to our veterans. And let’s be clear: public

health infrastructure is in as much need for improvement as our roads and bridges. We will also benefit from cleaner water and be protected from storm surges with proper investment in the Bay Park Conveyance Project. The American Jobs Plan would allow Nassau County to support the middle class with prevailing wages, solid healthcare, and reliable

pensions, creating a new economy that will provide good paying jobs for future generations. I stand with Nassau County Executive Laura Curran and urge our congressional representatives to support this ambitious plan. —Nadia Holubnyczyj Nadia Holubnyczyj is a candidate running for the Nassau County District 8 legislative seat

Farmingdale Meat Market Celebrates 75 Years In Farmingdale Village The Farmingdale Meat Market, located in downtown Farmingdale Village, is celebrating a remarkable milestone—their 75th Anniversary. This momentous event was commemorated by a celebratory ribbon cutting at noon on May 12. Founded by Julius Seelig, the Farmingdale Meat Market began as a local Farmingdale butcher shop in 1946. The business has been family owned and operated for three generations (since 1946) and is now run by Julius’ son Kent and grandson Lee Seelig. Over the past 75 years, Farmingdale Meat Market has grown from a small retail meat market into Main Street Wholesale Meats; one of the largest, independently-owned, federally-inspected meat facilities. In recent years, they have also expanded into e-commerce and that has really taken

FROM THE MAYOR’S DESK Ralph Ekstrand

off during the pandemic, with the business doing home-delivery of meat all over the Tri-State area. Julius would be proud to know that Farmingdale Meat Market is still thriving and has since expanded into wholesale (for 30-plus years now) with Main Street Wholesale Meats. The retail store carries a full selection of beef, pork, veal, lamb, poultry, provisions,

groceries and more; and the wholesale meat division delivers and sells to the TriState area. The business has a website/e-commerce site: www.farmingdalemeatmar ket.com—when you add it all up, that makes one big happy meat company. “We have our own proprietary blend of ground beef called our 1946 Blend which honors the year that Julius founded the market,” Selig said. “Our 1946 Blend is super popular in the retail store as well as in many restaurants that feature it on their menu. We are really thankful for the support of the Farmingdale community and greater Long Island community and that’s why we are doing several ‘giving back to our customers’ initiatives to celebrate our 75th anniversary. Currently we are in the midst of giving away $75 gift cards every single day for 75

days straight to a random customer in our store. People are loving getting a gift card for no reason other than being lucky. We’ve even had a few people burst into tears of joy upon winning the gift card. After the gift card giveaway is over, we will announce more 75th Anniversary inspired promotions,” Selig said. It is an incredible milestone for any company to keep their doors open for 75 years. The Farmingdale Meat Market/Main Street Meats is located at 210 Main St. in the heart of Farmingdale Village. On behalf of the Farmingdale Village Board of Trustees and myself, we are proud of the Seelig family—Congratulations on 75 years and we wish you continued success. With warmer weather, more people getting vaccinated and lower COVID-19 cases reported—we are

moving in the right direction. Good news—as New York State guidelines continue to evolve, it is so nice to see more activity throughout the village. However, please continue to practice social distancing, wear face coverings, wash your hands often and consider getting vaccinated (if you’re not already vaccinated). The Farmingdale Village Board of Trustees work sessions and board meetings are still held via remote video conference. Visit www. farmingdalevirtual.com and www.farmingdalevillage. com to access upcoming meeting dates, links to meetings and more details. “We are in this together.” on behalf of the board of trustees and myself, we look forward to a brighter 2021.

Democrat & Republican Proposed Infrastructure Bills Are Missing Critical Details President Joe Biden’s proposed $2.3 trillion infrastructure program would be spent over eight years. It includes a total of $85 billion that would go toward transit.

If work is to be performed over five or eight years, do potential recipients need all of these dollar up front in the first year of the program? Remember that Washington already faces a $29 trillion long-term deficit. It is anticipated to grow by a trillion annually for years or decades to come. The current state of affairs and gridlock in Washington reminds me of past history. The late Alabama Governor and Presidential candidate George Wallace said “There ain’t a dime’s worth of difference between Demopublicans and

Republicrats.” Both parties appear to have an insatiable appetite for more taxes, higher debt and out of control spending. Both conduct too much of the people’s business behind closed doors. Both seem to pay more attention to the infamous Washington K Street lobbyists and other special interest groups than the voters who sent them there.

FROM THE COUNTY SEAT

Nassau Legislature Passes Bill Approving School Bus Stop-Arm Cameras For September

ast week the Nassau County Legislature Committees passed legislation to implement school bus STOP-arm cameras by September 2021. The legislation passed unanimously though the Public Safety, Finance and Rules committees. This legislation comes after months of advocacy by Majority Caucus legislators and residents and will go before the full legislature on May 24 where it is expected to pass. The legislation allows the county to enter into a contract with Verra Mobility Corporation (formerly American Traffic Solutions) to operate a system and install STOP-arm cameras to school buses for districts that decide to opt into the program. The camera would take a photograph and video of every vehicle that passes the school bus with its stop-sign arm out. The video and photo would then be sent to Nassau County’s Traffic and Parking Violations Authority (TPVA), who would determine if a law has

been broken, and would then send the car’s owner a ticket. The fine will be $250 for each infraction. A grace period will be implemented from the start of the program and continue for 60 days afterward to allow drivers to be aware they are violating the law without incurring the fines. Those drivers during the grace period will

receive a warning in the mail, instead of a ticket. Each of Nassau County’s 56 school districts who choose to opt-in to this program will enter into an agreement with the county to have the cameras installed. In a poll of school districts, 22 were initially interested. “As chairwoman of the Legislature’s

Public Safety Committee, I am proud to see this program the Majority has spearheaded for months, finally come to fruition,” Alternate Deputy Presiding Officer Denise Ford said, who also serves as chairwoman of the Public Safety Committee. “This new initiative will help to keep our children safe when boarding and exiting the bus and deter drivers from putting students in harm’s way. I look forward to seeing this program’s speedy implementation.” Legislator Bill Gaylor added, “There is nothing more important than the safety of our children. Too many people think it is okay to speed past a school bus when their lights are flashing as they’re dropping off children. This is unsafe, illegal and puts the safety of our students at risk. My message to drivers is clear: Stop for buses to protect our children or pay a price.” —Submitted by the Nassau County Legislature

The Hicksville Water District (HWD) recently conducted a comprehensive leak detection survey to report on potential leaks occurring within portions of its distribution system. Leaks in the distribution system, because the water mains are several feet below the surface, can easily go undetected. Through this effort, the district identified the locations of six leaks that will keep thousands of gallons of water from escaping the water mains. The district contracted New York Leak Detection, Inc. (NYLD) to conduct the survey, which involved inspecting fire hydrants, in-line main valves and service valves. The company was able to identify the source of six leaks, reporting back to the district

with recommendations on how to remedy the issues. Leak detection is the art and science of using non-intrusive methods to search for, find and mark-out leak locations on pressurized pipelines. Suspected leak sources were discovered by finding correlations between contact points. This aided NYLD in showing the district where exactly it would need to work in order to fix individual leaks, greatly increasing the efficiency with which the district could solve the problem. Leak detection surveys help the HWD to maintain its infrastructure, further ensuring that residents continue to receive quality service, while conserving as much water as possible.

Glen Cove Private Investigator Indicted For Alleged Extortion

District Attorney Madeline Singas announced the indictment of a private investigator from Glen Cove for allegedly attempting to extort his client over the span of at least three years with threatening emails and phone calls. Jay Salpeter, 69, of Glen Cove, was arraigned and charged with attempted second-degree grand larceny by extortion, two counts of attempted fourth-degree grand larceny by extortion and two counts of second-degree aggravated harassment. If convicted on the top charge, the maximum sentence is 2-1/3 years to seven years in prison. Singas said that between Jan. 12, 2018 and March 27, 2021, Salpeter allegedly sent or left his former client, Martin Tankleff, dozens of emails and voicemails threatening Tankleff and attempting to obtain money for services Salpeter believed he was owed. Salpeter was employed as a private investigator as part of a defense team that secured Tankleff’s exoneration after he was convicted in Suffolk County in 1990 of murdering his parents and sentenced to 50 years to life in prison. The charges were dropped in 2008. Salpeter allegedly sent emails threatening to cause physical injuries to Tankleff if he failed to give Salpeter money and left voicemails threatening to harm Tankleff’s reputation or expose secrets if he failed to pay.

Brian Christenson

Brian Christenson of Palmetto, FL, passed away peacefully on April 18, 2021. Brian was born August 23, 1940 in Englewood, New Jersey, to Elmo C. and Kathryn (Goddard) Christenson. The youngest of three children, he was raised in Manhasset, NY where he graduated from Manhasset High School in 1958. After serving in the Army stationed at Governor’s Island in New York Harbor, he enrolled in the University of North Carolina, and ultimately graduated from Hofstra University with a bachelor’s degree in Communications. Brian began his career at Honeywell Computers as a sales executive in New York. A skilled salesman, he transitioned to the clothing business where he was National Sales Manager for a number of companies, including Gant Shirtmakers, Polo Ralph-Lauren and Yves St-Laurent. Tiring of the commute to New York City from their home in Fairfield, CT., Brian and his wife Deborah (née Kurtz) decided to move their three young sons to Vermont where they purchased and operated Tudhope Marine, a full-service Marina and boat brokerage on the shores of Lake Champlain. After selling the business in 1991, Brian and his family remained in Vermont, their adopted home. He then embarked on the second leg of his sales career, selling advertising for then Bell-Atlantic and ending his career with Verizon Communications upon retirement in 2005. In his free time, Brian loved travelling and enjoying the outdoors. He travelled the world with his friends and family and sailed the waters of Long Island Sound, Lake Champlain, and beyond in a number of boats they owned over the years. He also loved attending concerts and cruising the country in a bevy of sports cars and motorcycles – too many to list. Brian will be remembered for his intelligence, incisive sense of humor and infectious smile. He was always willing to help those in need and more than ready to celebrate the success of those around him. A friend to many, Brian was a warm and gentle presence and will be sorely missed by all who knew him. Brian is survived by his sons and their families: William, Jean, & Margot of New York, NY and Peter, Ali, Willow, & Claire of Chittenden, VT; brother Dennis and sister-in-law Judy of Athens, GA and sister Karol Sweeney of New Port Richey, FL; and nephews Kevin Sweeney of Goshen CT and Steven Sweeney of Boca Raton, FL among many others. He is pre-deceased by his son Matthew. We wish him fair winds and following seas… In lieu of flowers, gifts can be made toward the Brian Christenson Endowed Scholarship at Hofstra University: www.hofstra.edu/giving

ARIES (March 21-April 19). If people were as predictable as books, you could tell by their size and style what sort of commitment you were in for. This week’s social encounters will be mysterious, and there’s no telling the length of the story. The narrative could be fascinating and endless, like a book you carry everywhere and never reshelf. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It would be incorrect to say that anger is a drug to some people. The chemical flood brought on by anger is a drug to everyone, though not all are addicted. You’ll witness of different anger-processing styles and welcome opportunities for curiosity and tinkering in the emotional realms.

WORD FIND

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direction but always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 18 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

World cities Solution: 18 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Because you have known the sea of scheduling that has you booked out as far as the calendar goes with your time claimed for dozens of weekends in a row, you deeply appreciate the lulls. Treating your downtime as sacred takes discipline and requires you to create rules for yourself and then protect boundaries. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Transitions always require work. Anyone having to change their plan or adjust their expectation is doing emotional labor. It will be important to acknowledge how emotional labor is spent. In a best-case scenario, everyone is doing some, and no one is doing so much more of it than the others as to breed resentment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Distance warps perception. You’ll take action, make enormous strides and huff and puff your way through some intense times, and to that person watching from afar, your efforts and progress appear minimal. Either bring those distant people close or rely solely on the supportive perspective of insiders. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s not as though you can get your house in order once and then it’s good for all time. Organization and maintenance is a daily endeavor. Your embrace of this makes complaints unnecessary. You actually enjoy the care that goes into keeping things rolling. Many will be attracted to this quality in you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If someone knew what was going on inside your head at all times, then would they still love you? Hopefully, you can answer “yes” because, after all, you are there for all that you think. Can you still offer yourself compassion? Of course! Thoughts pass like clouds. They are not who you are. You are the sky. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll put in more work than the people around you, but it has to be this way for things to get better. First, someone sets the new standard and, even if the others won’t meet it, they’ll do more than they would have without the example. Use the late week to replenish your resources. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll use what you know. When you know better, you’ll probably do it differently. But this is what works for now. You’ve been hard on yourself, and unnecessarily so. The week goes better when you get on your own side, become your own fan and remind yourself that you are doing your best. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s frustrating to watch people you love behave in ways you do not prefer. It almost feels like you could make a change for them, but of course, you can’t, and any meddling to that end will backfire. The most effective help is to model the change you want to see. It may not work, but if it does, it will work thoroughly.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Growing relationships is your strength this year. There is a love flowing through you that is always a part of you without you having to think about it, command it or decide which way it should go. You’ll channel the tides of love as naturally and unconsciously as you do the currents of your own blood. Learning will be sheer pleasure. You’ll add to your knowledge, skill and understanding. External factors such as remuneration or recognition will hardly factor into your decision, but you will certainly receive these things as a welcome boon. COPYRIGHT 2021 CREATORS.COM

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re primed to laugh! A strong streak of cosmic humor crosses your part of the sky. Anyway, taking things too seriously creates heaviness which creates drag and slows everything down. There are places you want to go this week. The reason you can do so much is that you travel light, which is quicker.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). How do you know you’ve given enough? Everyone has a level of giving they are comfortable with. You don’t feel like you’ve hit yours until you’ve given slightly more than you have. This would be a problem if it weren’t for the magical and infinite wells of generosity that open inside secret places of your soul.

Levittown Sports Roundup High school baseball preview, big lacrosse win

BY JAMES ROWAN

Levittown@antonmediagroup.com

hen it comes to Long Island baseball, Levittown has long been known as the Diamond District. This season should be no different. After having last spring season canceled due to the pandemic, the area high school teams are ready to take the field. “I am so ecstatic for the players, they lost a big part of their life not being able to play last season,” said Division coach Tom Tuttle. “They missed out on creating so many good memories due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but this year they get to create more memories and appreciate what they have.” When MacArthur coach Steve Costello was asked to gauge his level of happiness to be returning to the field, he provided a one-word answer, “Extremely.” And why not? The Generals, under Costello, count one state, three county and 7 24 league titles throughout his

county title in 2007. Here’s how things stack up this season: MacArthur will be led by senior JT Raab, who has already committed to play Division I baseball for Stony Brook. Raab, a pitcher and first baseman, was All-County as a sophomore. The Generals will also be relying on senior pitchers Jason Wall and Nick Rodriquez and senior outfielder Anthony Vaughan. The top competition in Conference II for MacArthur will be coming from Calhoun and Mepham. At Division, senior shortstop Nick Roselli will lead the team. According to coach Tuttle, Roselli, a Sacred Heart commit, has “a tremendous work ethic Division infielder Mike Knapp in and is a great hitter with Division I bat action (Photo by Laura Roselli) speed.” Also pacing the Dragons will tenure. The Dragons, with Tuttle at be senior catcher Colin Siegel, junior the helm, have six conference titles, pitcher Mike Knapp and sophomore four county titles and two Long Island James Sill.

junior-laden team, many of whom would have played on varsity last season. The Bulldogs will look to leadership from a trio of seniors: Robby Stephens (Pitcher/1B), a D’Youville College commit, will anchor the pitching staff. Nick Drew (LF) and Joe DiFino (C, OF) will also play key roles. As will juniors Antonio Ducatelli (CF/P) a Division I Central Connecticut commit, Vinny Giambona (SS/P), Justin Mott (catcher), Connor Waiting (3B/P) and Jonathan Uzzo (RF/P). The Bulldogs’ main rivals in Conference V will be Clarke, Seaford and Locust Valley. In lacrosse, MacArthur opened the spring season with a fantastic 10-9 win over Massapequa, who entered the season ranked seventh in the nation. Defenseman Luca Runyan stole the ball for the Generals with 20 seconds left to secure the win. Steven Weber was outstanding in goal for MacArthur. —James Rowan is a Levittown resident
