ne fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish. It’s finally summer and for avid fishermen, that means an all-time high for the freshest catch.

LONG ISLAND WATERS

Long Island Fishing Report BY RYAN SCHLICHTER editorial@antonmediagroup.com

ummer is officially here as we reach the summer solstice and look forward to the clear skies and tight lines ahead. Across Long Island, striped bass, blues, fluke and porgy have been finding the massive amounts of sand eels and bunker that have flooded the local waters. This has been leading to excellent fishing for all species and should only continue to grow as we move towards the second half of summer.

South Shore At Causeway Bait and Tackle, there have been plenty of bass and blues on the bay side chasing the plentiful schools of bait. The fluke bite has been getting better as well. Just outside the Inlet on the ocean side there have been a number of keepers taken. Sometimes you don’t have to go far to fill the cooler. Paul from River Bay Outfitters reports that fluke and a few weakfish can be found in the back bays of Long Beach as a friend of the shop went down and had a successful day recently using jigs. Bass and blues have been tearing up the waters right in front of the channel and fell victim to a few flies dropped by another friend of the shop. In Jamaica Bay, there have been a lot of big fish looking to crush some top water poppers. The action has been great and should hold for a while with some decent weather. On the freshwater side, Jimmy the Hat was at it again landing four carp and a few other fish on the

fly rod. It seems this is the perfect time to go down and take a different approach on the freshwater game by wading in with a couple fly patterns and seeing whose looking for an easy meal.

North Shore In Kings Park, at Terminal Tackle, cocktail blues have been all over, just tearing up the schools of sand eels. Small diamond jigs and top water lures have been the key to success. If you’re looking for some bigger fish, bunker chunks and trolling have stirred up the lunkers more often. Scup has also been hot off most beaches up to about 40 feet of water. At Miller Place Bait and Tackle, Jim reports that Old Field is the place to be for scup this week. It’s been hot for the last few weeks and continues to carry the good vibes as we move forward. The fluke bite has been best around buoys 11 and 7 but hasn’t been that knockout action we are all looking for.

Cocktail blues and schoolie bass are all over. You never know when a bigger fish will be mixed in, however, so keep the faith high and hooks sharp. Ryan Schlichter blogs for On The Water magazine.

Our Goal is Zero. We’ve come a long way in getting kids covered and giving them a healthy start in life - with regular checkups, dental and eye care, immunizations, and a doctor who knows their name. But today, there are still more than 100,000 children in New York State who do not have health insurance – or the care they need to grow up happy, healthy, and strong. It’s a troubling statistic that we can change.

That’s why Fidelis Care is joining with New Yorkers everywhere to tell parents that learning about quality, affordable health insurance is just a call or click away.

Protesters Pink The Night Out BY JOSEPH CATRONE

Hofstra students and alumni gathered to show support for Planned Parenthood.

Alyson, a patient advocate for Planned Parenthood, spoke about why Planned Parenthood is important to her.

generation, and it must be stopped now,” said JoAnn Smith, Planned Parenthood of Nassau County president and CEO. “This bill will defund Planned Parenthood and block millions of people across the country from accessing the essential, lifesaving reproductive health care they need and deserve, including services such as birth control, cancer

Staff members from Hempstead Healthcare Center were among the 100-plus who attended the rally.

171249 C

A sea of pink lit up the darkening sky on Wednesday, June 21, as more than 100 Planned Parenthood supporters around Long Island gathered for a rally outside of Hempstead Healthcare Center, advocating for the protection of the organization from possible defunding. The “Pink the Night Out” rally, one of several similar gatherings around the country, coincided with the U.S. Senate’s drafting of its version of President Donald Trump’s healthcare bill, a process which took place mostly behind closed doors and attracted the ire of several Democrats for its perceived lack of transparency. Though the contents of the Senate’s version of the bill didn’t become common knowledge until after the rally, the House’s version of the bill stated that Planned Parenthood would lose federal funding for a year, and the Senate’s version, upon its reveal on Thursday, June 22, stated that funds could not be used to cover abortions. “Simply put, Trumpcare is the worst bill for women’s health in a

screenings, as well as sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing and treatment,” Smith added. Protesters expressed solidarity by dressing in all pink and carrying pink signs and lights. Several advocates also shared personal stories about the important role Planned Parenthood has played in their lives. “Without Planned Parenthood, I would not be who I am today,” said Alyson, one of the night’s speakers. “Without accessing contraceptives, I may have gotten pregnant and my dreams, my plans for the future, could have been jeopardized. I would not know how to advocate for myself in a relationship. I would not have the opportunity to speak with elected officials about issues that affect my life and the lives of others. Thanks to Planned Parenthood, I feel in control of my body and my future.” In New York alone, more than 186,000 people rely on Planned Parenthood annually. Though the proposed bill has a ways to go before

becoming law, supporters of Planned Parenthood have made it clear that they will continue to fight to prevent the organization’s defunding. “Thank you to our supporters who stand with us in this fight for the 23 million women, men and young people who need access to health insurance, the 2.4 million people who choose Planned Parenthood as their health care provider and the 49,000 New Yorkers who choose Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic and Planned Parenthood Nassau County for their reproductive health care,” said Vincent Russell, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic. “Planned Parenthood is under unprecedented attack right now. There are some politicians that believe my access to health care is not a right and they want to take it away,” added Alyson. “So as a patient advocate, I’m fighting back to ensure that these doors stay open.”

Inside The People’s Cathedral Get up close to Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel

BY KIMBERLY DIJKSTRA kdijkstra@antonmediagroup.com

From now until July 23, The Oculus at Westfield World Trade Center is home to a series of near-life size reproductions of Michelangelo’s magnificent frescoes found inside the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel. The exhibit makes one of the world’s greatest artistic achievements accessible to the general public and allows viewers to get closer to the artwork than could ever be possible in Rome. “Santiago Calatrava, the architect of The Oculus, envisioned this building as a people’s cathedral,” said Scott Sanders, Westfield’s creative head of global entertainment, “so we at Westfield decided to begin bringing a series of experiential art exhibits in. We thought who better than Michelangelo to kick things off with these iconic Sistine Chapel frescoes.” Westfield collaborated with Austrian photographer Erich Lessing and Brooklyn-based design team Susan Holland & Company to bring

this inaugural installation to fruition. More than 30 scenes from the epic ceiling are displayed individually, depicting scenes from the Book of Genesis. Standing tall, towering above it all is an almost-to-scale reproduction of Michelangelo’s The Last Judgment, which covers the whole altar wall of the Sistine Chapel. The massive work had to be created in Germany and assembled in the United States. The Oculus itself is a work of art. It is a natural fit for the sculptural building to house extraordinary art in the wide-open, brightly lit gallery space on the main floor. Art historian and researcher Lynn Catterson has visited the Sistine Chapel at least once every year for the past 20 years and she considers this exhibit a breath of fresh air. “Despite the fact that they are photographs and they are dislocated, there’s something very special about it.” Taking photographs is not allowed inside the Sistine Chapel, which can see as many as 25,000 visitors per day,

moved through very quickly. Seeing the art up close is an entirely different experience. Even Catterson, who is intimately familiar with the frescoes, has seen things at this exhibit that she has never noticed before. “The Creation of the Sun, Moon and Earth” depicts God, in a colossal burst of energy, creating the sun. “I’ve looked at this hundreds of times and [today I saw] the lady under God’s arm—she’s blinded by the light,” said Catterson.

Supergirl Returns

Long Island native Helen Slater joins Eternal Con BY STEVE MOSCO smosco@antonmediagroup.com

With Wonder Woman crashing the superhero boys’ club and other female-led genre movies on the horizon, comic book fans are finally getting an eyeful of women with extraordinary abilities and origin stories just as compelling as their male counterparts. And at the upcoming Eternal Con at Nassau Coliseum on July 1 and 2, hero worshipers will get a chance to meet the original Supergirl, Helen Slater— the first on-screen adaptation of the female fighter for truth, justice and the American way. “A silver lining of attending these cons is that it made me appreciate what it meant to be a superhero,” said Slater. “When I was acting as Supergirl at 18 or 19-years-old, I wasn’t aware of the impact these movies would have.” Born in Bethpage with time spent in Massapequa and Great Neck, Slater donned the cape to play Superman’s cousin in 1984’s Supergirl. Her first bigscreen role, Supergirl saw Slater acting opposite heavyweight film talents including Faye Dunaway, Mia Farrow and Peter O’Toole. For the young Slater barely out of New York City’s High School of Performing Arts, it was a masterclass in the art of acting. “Looking back, it was very daunting. But the performing arts school was intense and I felt like it trained me for that moment,” she said, adding that her and O’Toole would workshop Shakespeare during rehearsals. “That was a real mentorship. He loved theater and acting. But they were all so kind to me. I never felt like they were these big powerhouses that I couldn’t approach.” Recently, Slater’s career came full circle when she took the role of Eliza Danvers, Supergirl’s stepmother on the CBS series Supergirl, with Melissa Benoist in the starring role. Slater said that when she first caught a

glimpse of Benoist in full costume, she had to stop and take a breath. “I really did have a sensory whiff of my younger self from 30 years ago. It was very memorable and a moving moment,” she said. “Melissa [Benoist] is such a kind, sweet and talented woman. I feel so lucky to have been asked to join the show and the writers are giving me such lovely things to do with the character.” Slater has worked steadily in a wide range of roles since 1984’s Supergirl, including star-turns alongside Bette Midler in Ruthless People, The Secret Of My Success with Michael J. Fox, City Slickers with Billy Crystal and a long list of television roles. But of all the parts she has played, Slater said she hears the most praise from fans for her titular role in 1985’s The Legend Of Billie Jean. In the film, Slater plays a modern day Joan of Arc—complete with symbolically short hair—as she fights against subjugation and the amoral bombast of male authority figures. Complete with a soundtrack that includes Pat Benatar’s call-to-action “Invincible,” it is a snapshot of the 1980s, but with

empowerment themes that put it ahead of its time. “There weren’t a ton of strong female roles when Billie Jean came out, and the way her strength and sexuality were portrayed was not usual at the time,” she said, adding that the film didn’t achieve its following until after it started airing on television. “She was a super strong chick leading these underdog, ragtag, disenfranchised kids. She fought for justice when she couldn’t get it through regular channels and I think that resonates with people.” With her roles as Supergirl and Billie Jean, as well as Talia al Ghul in the 1990’s Batman: The Animated Series and stints on DC Superhero Girls, Slater is no stranger to inspiring young women with her characters—but what she would really like to see is women of her generation getting the same focus on empowerment. “It’s really only recently occurring to me that a lot of my roles have had a positive impact,” she said. “I would love to do it for my generation of women. I don’t feel like there’s enough of that for women over 40 or 50. I’ve worked steadily over the years, so I don’t feel it deep in my bones, but work does become harder to come by and you do feel more invisible. I would love for that next big character to be for this generation of women.”

Helen Slater as Eliza Danvers on CBS’s Supergirl reboot And with the success of Wonder Woman, its star Gal Gadot and its director Patty Jenkins, Slater said it feels as though she is living through a mini-awakening in terms of opportunities for women in the film industry. “It’s remarkable that I wasn’t more aware of the shortcomings in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. Now, people are outraged and I almost feel a little embarrassed that we weren’t more on top of that early on,” she said. “It was just accepted that men were directors and that women only liked romantic comedies. But no, look. There are real powerhouse women out there.” When Slater returns to Long Island for Eternal Con, she will be joined by Brianna Hildebrand, who played Negasonic Teenage Warhead in Deadpool; Lee Meriwether, Catwoman from the 1960s Batman; WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley; Paul Blake, Greedo in the original Star Wars; Edward James Olmos of Battlestar Galactica; and more. Though she does return to Long Island from time to time, mainly for its beaches, Slater said she is excited to be back on her home turf. “I’m looking forward to meeting the fans,” she said. “I feel so grateful to be a part of this scene and to be invited.”

Supergirl flew into theaters in 1984.

Girl Scouts of Nassau County announced today that CEO Donna Ceravolo plans to retire after working for the organization for over 16 years. Throughout her years, Ceravolo led more than 100,000 Girl Scouts and 80,000 adult volunteers, staying ahead of the curve with respect to the issues facing today’s girls, developing and delivering programs to help girls succeed socially and in the business world. Collectively, the council and Ceravolo designed programs to address social issues, such as bullying and cyberbullying, years ahead of it being popular news topics and strived to make science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fun and applicable to girls. “I have been blessed to have the best job in the world for the past 16 years,” said Ceravolo. “None of my accomplishments are my own, they are all the result of great teamwork and collaboration among our girls, volunteers, staff and the community at large.” Since joining the Girl Scouts of Nassau County in 2000 as CEO,

Girl Scouts of Nassau County CEO reflects on past and future of council Ceravolo championed several projects and initiatives that helped benefit the organization today and for the future. One in particular was the sale of an under-utilized property owned by the Girl Scouts of Nassau County, which helped to ensure the future financial stability of the council. Ceravolo also oversaw the ongoing success of the GSNC Chorus and evolution of Girl Scout STEM and Robotics programs, establishing STEM strategic partnerships with Hofstra University, Molloy College and Vaughn College.

Tips

Five For Better Freshman Year

Survival BY TANYA KNIGHT

speciaLsections@antonmediagroup.com

Be Disciplined

Discipline in your life takes you to greater heights. So try to bring in a certain amount of discipline in your everyday activity. Get yourself into an orderly style of living your day-to-day routine (like wake up hours, preparation time everyday, extra-curricular activity on a regular basis and so on). Your main aim at this point of time is to work hard and get the best possible grades. Devote your energy and resources towards this end.

Get Involved In College Activities

One more way of surviving your freshman year in college is to keep yourself mentally active. The best and most healthy way of implementing this is to actively participate in your college club activities, sororities or sports teams. Apart from other advantages, this will keep you constantly engaged and will lessen the moments of your home sickness.

Attend Orientations

This is the most important tip that I suggest to all new students going into college. Attend your orientations over the summer. This gives you the opportunity to meet your future classmates and know more about them. Attending orientations also gives you the golden opportunity to start getting comfortable with the campus.

Effective Communication

The way parents communicate with their children can enhance the quality of the relationship and the sense of security, or it can lead to destructive relationship patterns and lack of resilience. Communication can support independence and self-esteem or harm confidence.

Your Child’s Perspective

What kind of conversational style does your child have? Is she particularly chatty in the morning and prefers quiet time in the evenings? Does he need questions to prompt conversation or does he seem overwhelmed when many questions are asked? Respect the individual needs in order to communicate effectively. Children tend to open up more when in parallel position as opposed to face to face. Children are more likely to communicate when they are walking, during car rides or bedtime.

Open-Ended Questions

We can promote creativity, curiosity, and problem solving skills with the questions we ask. How we ask questions can encourage deeper conversations that foster connection. Close-ended questions typically lead

PARENTING MATTERS Graziella Simonetti to short answers. “What did you have for lunch?” “A sandwich.” “Did you have fun today?” “Yes.” Open-ended questions such as “tell me about...” or “what else can you do with...” offer children the opportunity to express thoughts and feelings. Instead of asking “how was your day?,” which would typically elicit an answer of either “good” or “bad,” consider asking “tell me the best thing and the worst thing that happened today.”

Reflective Listening

Listen to what your child says, and even if you do not agree with it, acknowledge it. Seek an understanding of the feelings and needs behind the words. Demonstrate that you hear him by using phrases like “what I am hearing you say is...” or “it sounds like you are saying that...”

and follow up by asking, “Did I get that right?” Paraphrase instead of parroting what was said. This helps a child feel heard and understood, and offers an opportunity for him to re-evaluate his words and feelings. It provides you reassurance that you understand what your child is saying. You can ask clarifying questions such as “when you say...what do you mean?” Do not interrupt the speaker to ask questions. At different points throughout the conversation, you can summarize. Your child is more likely to open up if he does not feel judged. Reflective listening helps your child work out thoughts and feelings with your support. Oftentimes, we tend to interject our thoughts and opinions into a conversation. We listen for a chance to jump in and voice our opinions or offer a rebuttal. When we do this, we invalidate the speaker’s feelings. We jump to conclusions, and we interrupt the flow of thoughts. With reflective listening, your role is simply to understand what is being

said, so that our personal assumptions and judgments do not distort what we are hearing. It also allows you time to consider what the next step might be in handling the situation.

Nonverbal Communication

Your body language often communicates more than your words do. Be mindful of your tone of voice, facial expression, and body posture. Oftentimes, children are paying more attention to these forms of nonverbal communication. To show that you are listening, nod occasionally. Be mindful that your posture is inviting. Be aware of your facial expression when communicating. Graziella Simonetti is a parent educator for EAC Network’s Long Island Parenting Institute and works as an early childhood social worker for the New York City Department of Education. She holds an advanced certificate in parent education from Adelphi University and is a NYSPEP credentialed parenting educator.

Red Cross Centennial Celebration Long Island’s ﬁrst chapter honored at Mineola Village Hall

BY NICOLE LOCKWOOD nLockWood@antonmediagroup.com

The American Red Cross, a national organization dedicated to serving those in need, has been in existence since 1881, with one of its longest standing establishments in Mineola. On Thursday, June 22, the 100th anniversary celebration of the chapter was held in front of Mineola Village Hall. Hailed as the first Red Cross chapter on Long Island, the Mineolabased Nassau County chapter was founded on June 22, 1917, claiming a prime location on Willis Avenue. Formed while World War I was underway, this chapter has since merged with the Suffolk County chapter in recent years to form one uniform Long Island chapter. The commemorative centennial ceremony was attended by Red Cross volunteers, board members and Long Island Chief Executive Officer Neela Lockel. “It was very fitting for us to be able to do this here and celebrate at our actual birthplace,” said Lockel. “One of the things that makes our work

and our mission so special is that we are neighbors helping neighbors. It’s so important for us to have volunteers who are always trained and ready. There’s a never ending need for volunteers.” Deputy Mayor Paul Pereira and Village Clerk Joseph Scalero were also on hand to congratulate the esteemed organization and its dedicated network of volunteers. “I think it’s only fitting that the Nassau County Chapter of the Red Cross was born here in Mineola, and that it remains here, because we pride ourselves in the Village of Mineola of being a service-oriented, volunteer-oriented community,” said Pereira in his opening remarks, noting that the village itself will be 112 years old this September. “We’ve essentially grown up together, and I can’t think of a more fitting

community.” The gathering outside of the Mineola Village Hall held dual purposes, serving as both a celebratory event, complete with birthday cake, as well as an opportunity to announce the Red Cross’s volunteer recruitment initiative.

In honor of 100 years of service, the organization is calling for 100 new Long Island volunteers, encouraging involvement from people of all ages and backgrounds. “Historically, after any major disaster, our phones are ringing off the hook. Everyone wants to volunteer,” said Craig Cooper, an active Red Cross volunteer and

spokesperson for the organization. “When things are quiet, in what we sometimes refer to as ‘blue skies times,’ people don’t necessarily think about volunteering. That’s not to say that we’re understaffed, but you can never have enough volunteers. Volunteers can come in any age, shape and size.” Currently, the collective team of more than 1,000 Long Island Red Cross volunteers deliver emergency relief to residents affected by local floods, fires, blizzards, plane crashes and other incidents. The Red Cross also conducts several community initiatives throughout Nassau and Suffolk County. In 2016, the organization installed thousands of free smoke alarms in area homes; taught skills like CPR, water safety and first aid; empowered countless local families with vital disaster preparedness skills; and collected lifesaving blood.

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND Sugar Industry r ry

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You wouldn’t shun someone for having problems, because, for one, everyone has problems, and for another, you feel useful when you can help. However, from a practical standpoint, you already have quite a lot to handle, and you might not have the resources for stepping in here. Remember: Referrals are help, too.

Solution: 27 Letters

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The network is broadcasting, though you can’t hear or see it until you turn your receiver to its frequency. This is the way divine energy is in your life. You’ll experience it when you tune into it, or when it changes frequency to match yours. This week, you’ll benefit from asking powerful forces to meet you halfway. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Organizations will venerate a few shining examples of the group ideals. Most others in the group would love to be regarded in such high esteem as these spotlight successes. Are their stories true? And if so, what would it take to follow suit? Would it be worth it to you? These questions guide your agenda this week. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have the kind of hands-on experience that can’t be bought. You earned it. You got in and did the job. You learned the necessary steps and you took them. This new goal you’ve decided to take on is no different, really. Remember who you are. Repeat what you did before in the new setting. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s generally better not to make assumptions, but if you must give in to this shortcut of human processing, try to make assumptions that empower you. For instance, assume someone likes you, and treat that person as though you’re already friends. Such a friendship will develop quickly this week. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It was a long time ago when you agreed to do the thing you’re still doing every day. You were gung-ho back then; now you’re far less so, in spite of your strong commitment level. How can you get the excitement back? It’s worth a serious effort, because to achieve this would make your life better in a multitude of ways. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As a smooth operator, you recognize and respect the role that ego plays in every transaction. You’ve even been known to let people think they’re coming up with the ideas you’ve had all along. You don’t mind going uncredited if it’s for the greater good. This week your diplomacy and political savvy will be in demand. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In the days to come you will invite your higher impulses to take the reins, learn of your useful and yet untapped talents and connect with the mentors, guardian angels and other benevolent forces that can help you live more peacefully and happily. All in all, it will be a pretty remarkable week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Most people are halfway-decent actors who can smile when they are miserable, spin success stories out of desperation and act friendly to make a sale or forward some underlying agenda. You see clearly through it all this week. You know who needs a miracle and whom you should avoid, too. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People are different. One person’s nutrition is another’s poison. What is helpful to one is offensive to the next. This week it’s best not to assume to know how to please, heal, help or even feed anyone. Ask. Then listen with your ears and your whole being to what’s said and, perhaps more importantly, omitted. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Steer clear of those who try to tell you what you’re capable of or who you are. How do they know? You’ve barely explored the tip of the iceberg on the matter yourself. Anyway, you don’t need the limits and rules as much as they think. Shake off the influence. In summary, control freaks are no fun. Avoid! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have rules and boundaries to govern what’s important to you, and you also accept that everyone is quirky. You’re not afraid of this. You don’t need people to act in predictable ways to feel comfortable. You’re creative. You allow for creativity in others. Because of this you’ll attract vibrantly colorful experiences.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

The top of this solar return has a pulse of unfinished business that your heart cannot help but obey; you fall into rhythm. This sort of business will never be finished. True love keeps creating. Your main love is for an endeavor, not a person, although people will definitely be a part of the story. Beautiful outcomes will happen in every month of the next 12. Trust. You will often get what you want, but when you don’t, trust that it’s better this way. Say, “How interesting,” and then learn all you can. November’s introduction is an exciting turn. February’s riches make more possible. COPYRIGHT 2017 CREATORS.COM

What Would George Carlin Say? PARENTHOOD PLUS Andrew Malekoff

Columnist Paul Krugman wrote in The New York Times: “How did it become normal, or for that matter even acceptable, to refer to medical patients as ‘consumers?’ The relationship between patient and doctor used to be considered something special, almost sacred. Now politicians and supposed reformers talk about the act of receiving care as if it were no different from a commercial transaction, like buying a car—and their only complaint is that it isn’t commercial enough.”

The first standup act I saw live was George Carlin. I was 18 years old and Carlin was playing on campus my freshman year at Rutgers University in New Jersey. I sat on the floor in the student center multi-purpose room. The show took place three years before Carlin was arrested for violating obscenity laws in Milwaukee after his legendary routine: “Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television.” Carlin was a social critic whose acts included his thoughts on politics, the English language, religion and a variety of taboo subjects. He complained that American English is replete with euphemisms because Americans have difficulty dealing with reality. His views predated the term “politically correct.” Carlin said that we use euphemisms to shield us from reality, that we use “soft language.” To illustrate, he said that poor people used to live in “slums” and now “the economically disadvantaged” occupy “substandard housing” in the “inner cities.” He said, maybe if we were not to use this type of language, people would realize what is going on, and that there are actually problems in the world. And maybe we could solve them. Carlin’s advice comes to mind when I think about health care. One of his memorable lines on the subject was, “Isn’t it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do ‘practice’?”

Maybe the impersonal quality of such language made it easier for the majority members of the U.S. House of Representatives to pass the American Health Care Act (AHCA). The facts are that if the AHCA become law, as written, basic protections for individuals with pre-existing conditions will be eliminated and the federal requirement that mental health and addictions care be included by insurers as an essential benefit will be removed. Maybe instead of “pre-existing conditions” we should refer to it as “people who will suffer and die without affordable and timely health care.” In any case, if the House’s AHCA passes the Senate, it will result in more families that are struggling with mental illness and addictions finding their loved ones in emergency rooms, in costly institutional settings, on the

street, in jail or in the ground. Treatment is the most effective way to help those with mental illness and addiction—treatment that often needs insurance coverage, just like any other health problem. The answer is not “Obamacare” or “Trumpcare.” We need “Bipartisancare” that puts the American family first. One thing is for sure; if George Carlin were still around to weigh in on the AHCA, he would be invoking “Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television” and, I’m certain, a few choice new ones. Andrew Malekoff is the executive director of North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center, which provides comprehensive mental health services for children from birth through 24 and their families.

Unique Fishing Gear BY JENNIFER FAUCI JFauci@antonmediagroup.com

ishing is a sport that can be enjoyed year-round. While some people take to the ice in the winter, summertime is a favorite among most pole gatherers to grab their gear and head to the ocean. But without the right tools, fishermen would be sitting ducks on a boat, surrounded by fishy fiends who swim past with laughter. Aside from your typical necessities: a rod and reel, fishing lures, hooks, nets, sinkers, lines and tackleboxes, check out our list of unique fishing essentials before you head out to sea. Don’t forget your fishing vest and hat to complete the ensemble.

Bucktail Jigs

Some fisherman will tell you that the bucktail jig is the most versatile lure ever invented, and they should know as they carry dozens of jigs in their arsenal. The design and material used on a bucktail jig (deer hair for the tail to create fluid movement in the water) and a durable head, allows for alluring moves to entice the fish to come hither. Available in a variety of colors, weights and sizes, bucktail jigs only cost a few dollars and are available at pro shops and sporting goods stores.

Everything you will ever need for your fishing trip can be stored in this fishing cart. Well, 200 pounds of fishing gear, at least. The collapsible design of the cart makes it easy to store and the secure fabric liner is sturdy enough to hold all of your gear. The Berkley Jumbo Fishing cart also has a nifty compact cutting board with storage for a bait bucket and knife. Available for $249.99 at Bass Pro Shops.

Catching fish with a simple hook and worm is a thing of the past. Fisherman today use artificial bait that not only looks like the real thing, it smells (and apparently tastes) like it too. Different types of fish, shrimp, worms and other critters are used to attract your catch with a strong scent. They are able to be used several times by submerging in liquid, which brings them back to life. The scented bait is available at Bass Pro Shops and at www. berkley-fishing.com and range from $5 to $60.

Fishing Pliers

A versatile tool for cutting lines, unhooking catches and bending

wire, fishing pliers is an essential tool for every saltwater fisherman. Made of aluminum or steel, the needle nose tip of the pliers make extracting and cutting a sharp an easy breeze. These Rapala 6-1/2” fisherman’s pliers are available for $9.99 at Cabela’s.

Fish

Food T BY STEVE MOSCO

SmoSco@antonmediagroup.com

aking advantage of island life means not only enjoying the water for relaxation and sporting purposes, but also for the fish and seafood bounty it provides. The waters surrounding Long Island teem with delicious creatures this time of year. From the Sound, east around the forks and back west where the island meets the Atlantic, ‘tis the season for seafaring food. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s website (www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor) boasts a wealth of information regarding fishing regulations, size and catch limits, as well as seasonal data, so fishers can see exactly what is available on the offshore menu. In-season fish this time of year include fluke (sometimes called summer flounder), scup (more commonly referred to as porgy), striped bass and black sea bass. Of course, there are plenty of other fish available yearround, as well as some fresh water offerings on and around the island, but for this column, I’m going to focus on saltwater, seasonal catches. An old idiom says “all fluke are flounder but not all flounder are fluke.” It’s best not to get too bogged down in the specifics—just know that fluke is in season through Sept. 21,

Grilled whole porgy with herb oil and lemon with a limit of three per reeler. This flat bottom-feeder is best prepared broiled with a lemon-butter sauce. Fluke flesh is white and mild, extremely delicate in flavor and texture. For anyone who doesn’t want their fish to taste like fish, this is your catch. Porgy is one of the island’s most plentiful fish and as such, the limit is 30 per reeler through Dec. 31. Out of all the fish in the sea, Long Islanders need to take advantage of the abundance of porgy. Used as bait for bigger fish, porgy is often overlooked, especially at local restaurants. The flesh is sweet and mild, but the true jackpot is porgy skin—which gets nice and crispy when pan fried or grilled. Porgies do have a lot of bones, so it is difficult to fillet in a way that strips the

fish of the most meat as possible. That is why whole preparation is the best way to enjoy porgy. Marine-water striped bass is limited to one per sea customer and the season runs through Dec. 15. When caught in the wild, striped bass are much bigger than their farmed counterparts, if you can catch one, expect a haul of meat. The fish is moderately fatty, with rich flavors and large, firm flakes. A chunk of wild striped bass is perfect for grilling, as it’s strong enough to hold its shape and develops a crisp crust. Black sea bass is seasonally tritiered: June 27 to Aug. 31 (at three fish per fisher), Sept. 1 to Oct. 31 (at eight fish per fisher) and Nov. 1 through Dec. 31 (at 10 per fisher). This is another

Broiled whole flounder is another Long Island treat from the sea.

20170630_XAL_LNW_PG00 - 1:24 June 26, 2017

fish that is best prepared whole, perhaps pan roasted with herbs, fennel, lemon garlic and capers. When you shove off on a fishing trip aboard a party or charter boat, most crews will scale, gut and clean your catch to your specifications. If you want it filleted, they’ll do it—and if you want the head and body to remain intact but the guts removed, they’ll happily do that as well. But if you go fishing out on your own, be sure to read up on the different ways to clean each species, as not all fish are created equal. Again, this is only a small sampling of what Long Island’s many bodies of water offer, but it is a good place to start when you’re in the mood for a “reel” good meal.

Striped bass also pairs nicely with risotto.
