The Junior Welfare League of Huntington’s annual “Turn the Tables” Spring Luncheon was once again a tribute to expert design and community service.

Over 150 local women and Junior Welfare League members gathered at the Huntington Country Club on March 18 to support the long-running Camp for Kids program.

Camp for Kids, sponsored by the JWL, offers children from around the Town of Huntington a chance to attend summer camp when school is not

in session. Through the program the League pays the camp expenses for dozens of low income and at risk local children from the Town of Huntington annually to provide fulfilling and enriching summer experiences.

The 2018 luncheon was sold out before March 1 and raised over $13,000 for the League’s Camp for Kids program.

This year the event was led by JWL President Loveleen Lohia and chaired by co-chairs Amal Kapen, Leslie Levchuck, and Gina Bonafazio.

One of the unique aspects of the luncheon is that a team of expert designers led by Kapen, an experienced interior designer, curates each guest table.

This year designers Amal Kapen Interiors, Elite Tent and Party Rental, Fovere Interiors, Joan O’Brien Interiors, Kim Radovich and Kim E. Courtney, Liz Cordeiro Events & Design, The Lewis Design Group, Noli Designs, The Rinfret Group, Rosanne Lombardo Designs, Thayer Woods Home and TK Home each put their own design twist on one of the tables at the event.

The luncheon is also an opportunity for the JWL to recognize local young people who are making a positive difference in their community.

Local Vying For ‘Miss New York’ Crown

By Connor Beach cbeach@longislandergroup.com

A young woman from Huntington Station won the title of Miss Liberty earlier this month and punched her ticket to the Miss New York competition in June.

Inpreet Rattu, 20, of Huntington Station, started her pageantry career back in 2013 while looking for a pageant for her little sister. After taking a hiatus from the pageant scene during her high school career, Rattu decided to give beauty pageants another shot as a college student.

The sophomore at Farmingdale State College traveled to upstate Cortland on March 11 and there she beat out a strong group of competitors in the interview, talent, evening wear and swimwear competitions to capture the title of 2018 Miss Liberty, a part of the

Miss America organization.

The Miss Liberty pageant is this year’s last regional pageant through which the winner can qualify to compete in the Miss New York pageant, and Rattu said she was well aware of the added pressure.

“I was so afraid in the moments leading up to the name being announced,” Rattu said. “I was afraid that I wasn’t going to make the cut, and I would have to wait an entire year before competing again.”

When it was finally announced that Rattu had won the pageant, her fear quickly turned to joy.

“When they finally called my name it was like all the hard work in the weeks and months leading up it paid off. I was in the right moment, at the right time, I said all the right things and it felt well deserved.”

Although it takes a remarkable

amount of skill, poise and confidence to win a pageant in the Miss America series, Rattu said she is self-taught.

“I haven’t really had any type of coaching; I’ve always just been really comfortable being on stage. If I were to say if I ever had a coach, I would probably have to say my friends,” Rattu said. “They always give me the advice that I need and they always tell me how it is, whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing.”

The college student says she stays well versed in politics and social issues in between earning her bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. Rattu is currently enrolled in the ROTC program and will earn a commission as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army upon graduation from college.

Rattu’s personal platform during her pageants is Project 9 Line, a charity that supports the reintegration of

Rattu said she is looking forward to the opportunity to compete for the Miss NewYork title in upstate Buffalo on June 30.

She said, “I’m super excited to head to states, and I hope to make Long Island proud.”

MUSIC SPOTLIGHT

By Connor Beach cbeach@longislandergroup.com

Getting a band back together to produce a new album is never easy, and it was especially difficult for 15-member Canadian indie rock band Broken Social Scene.

The band’s last album, “Forgotten Rock Record,” was released in 2010 and reached number one in Canadian charts. The band has since been on a hiatus of sorts, according to guitarist and founding member Brendan Canning, as it’s only played one gig per year.

When they do take the stage together, or hit the studio, Broken Social Scene’s sound is made up of a variety of instruments, including guitars, horns, woodwinds and violins. The sounds those instruments produce are put together in unusual song structures, part of an experimental style.

Last July, Broken Social Scene released “Hug of Thunder,” its first new

album in seven years.

Canning said that the idea to get things back together developed “very organically.”

“In 2015 we got a couple of 11th hour offers for festivals in the summer that really kind of ignited us,” Canning said.

After a series of meetings and a management switch, Canning said the band got back to the rehearsing space to produce the new album.

“We just had the feeling that we hadn’t finished what we started,” Canning said, adding that the band shared the same collective spirit that drove him and Broken Social Scene’s cofounder Kevin Drew to bring musicians from the Toronto indie scene together back in 1999.

Once the decision was made to release a new album the 15 members of Broken Social Scene had to decide what songs to include.

“That’s like you would imagine with countless emails, phone calls and difference of opinion on this song or that song,” Canning said. “It’s a lot of batting the ball back and forth, and eventually you come up with something that reflects the collective.”

Eventually that collaboration paid

Canadian Rockers Get The Band Back Together

Indie rock band Broken Social Scene will bring their orchestral, experimental style to The Paramount on April 7. off when “Hug of Thunder” peaked at number three on the U.S. Indie Record charts shortly after its release.

Broken Social Scene has now set out on the Hug of Thunder Tour, which includes a stop at The Paramount in Huntington on Saturday, April 7.

“It’s a very celebratory evening whenever we roll into town,” Canning said. “It’s not going to be any sort of quiet affair, and it’s not going to be un-

derplayed.”

Canning said the band is still excited that people still want to come and see them play after so many years.

He said, “After 18 years of being in a band you can’t really take it lightly.

You still have to go out and earn the respect of the fans.”

Doors open at 7 p.m. for the 8 p.m. show. Tickets are $30.50-$60.50 and can be purchased at the box office or online at Paramountny.com.

The way you take aim, a flexion in the right biceps, you draw the ball to your chin and click it in with a slight dip of your hip, fingers splayed, middle and ring, sunk deep.

Oh, the grace as you trot to the line nearly on tip toe, your arm arcing back.

The way the ball kisses the ground as you let it go with the lunge of a figure skater. It speeds like a spinning planet to the sweet spot

‘Starry Night’ In East Northport In honor of Vincent van Gogh’s birthday, which is March 30, students at Pulaski Street Elementary School in the Northport-East Northport School District created “Starry Night” paintings in art class. Art teacher Monica DeJong worked with students to teach them about more abstract works,

layering different mediums, such as crayons, watercolors, and construction paper, and more.

While working on their pieces, students showcased their creativity and thought up their own names for their paintings, such as “Moonlight,” “The Wave Sky” and “Stars Everywhere.”

health Epilepsy: Clearing Up Misunderstandings

By Keith M. Oshan, M.D. info@longislandergroup.com

For hundreds of years epilepsy was thought to be a demonic presence inhabiting someone’s body. Nothing could be further from the truth. Epilepsy is a central nervous system disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal. This activity can be anything from seizures to abnormal behavior to loss of consciousness.

Epilepsy affects men and women of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, and races.

Seizures vary widely. Some people stare blankly for a few seconds during a seizure, while others repeatedly twitch their arms and legs. There must be two unprovoked seizures to receive a diagnosis of epilepsy. Treatment ranges from medication to, in some cases, surgery. It may require lifelong medication. Some children with epilepsy may outgrow their seizures.

Usually people have the same type of seizure they initially present with.

Symptoms of this abnormal brain activity may consist of temporary confusion, a staring spell, uncontrollable jerking movements of the arms and legs, loss of consciousness or awareness, and psychic symptoms such as

fear, anxiety, or Déjà vu.

When seizures appear to come from abnormal activity in one area of the brain, they are called focal (partial) seizures. These may occur with or without loss of consciousness (LOC). Some examples of partial seizure activity include involuntary jerking of a body part, changes in smell, taste, feel, and sound.

One can also stare into space and not respond to your environment, or make repetitive movements such as chewing or hand rubbing.

Seizures that involve all areas of the brain are called generalized seizures.

These have multiple classifications, but for our purposes we will deal with tonic-clonic seizures (grand mal).They are the most dramatic type of seizure and include abrupt LOC, body stiffening and shaking, sometimes loss of bladder control and biting the tongue.

In half of all those with epilepsy there are no identifiable causes. The other half can result from genetic influence, head trauma, brain conditions (tumors and strokes), infectious disease, prenatal injury, and certain developmental disorders like autism or neurofibromatosis. This is why wearing a helmet when skiing, cycling, or motorcycling can save your life. Infectious diseases such as AIDS, meningitis, and viral encephalitis, which cause inflammation of the brain can all lead to seizures. Children who

have high fevers when they are young, followed by a seizure, usually do not develop epilepsy.

Complications related to seizures are falling, drowning (people with epilepsy are 15 times more likely to drown then the general population due to possibility of a seizure). Seizures during pregnancy pose dangers to both mother and unborn baby. Some antiseizure medications have a higher risk of birth defects. Car accidents can occur if seizures aren’t controlled well and are an obvious risk to driver and pedestrians or cars. Each state has different laws about restrictions on an epileptic’s driver’s license. There are higher incidences of depression and suicidal thought accompanying epilepsy. These are related to dealing with the condition as well as medication side effects. A rare severe complication is status epilepticus. This consists of a seizure greater than five minutes or no recovery of awareness between seizures. There is a risk of permanent brain damage or death.

To diagnose epilepsy your doctor will do a neurological exam, blood tests, and an electroencephalogram (EEG).

Electrodes are attached to the scalp and record brain activity. Even without an active seizure, brain waves do show changes. More sophisticated tests include CT scan, MRI, and PET scans.

Some people are controlled with just

one anti-seizure medication, whereas others require multiple meds. These medications can have some serious side-effects. Common ones include fatigue, dizziness, weight gain, loss of bone density, skin rashes, loss of coordination, speech problems, and memory or thinking problems. If medication is unsuccessful, surgery can offer another option. The best outcomes happen when the seizure originates in a small, well-defined area of the brain, and that area is not involved with any vital functions such as speech, language, motor function, vision or hearing. Surgery is a serious step and all possible complications must be explained to the patient.

Advances in the treatment of epilepsy have been dramatic in recent years with the advent of direct brain stimulation via an implantable pacemaker device to electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve. This may greatly reduce the dependence on certain medications associated with the worst side-effects.

I hope this has helped to briefly explain what epilepsy is and how the medical and technology fields are working together to control this serious condition.

Legislator Honors Local Health Professionals Suffolk Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (DCenterport) recently recognized a pair of local medical professionals for their service.

First, Suffolk’s former Director of the Office of Health Education Lori Benincasa was honored for her 39 years of service as a public health advocate and leader at the legislature’s March 20 meeting.

Throughout her career in Suffolk, Benincasa has been a pioneer in changing the social and cultural acceptance of tobacco use. She was the original founder of the Tobacco Action Coalition that

worked with numerous community agencies to reduce the onset of tobacco use among our youth and assisted those already addicted to quit. She also led efforts to reduce tobacco use among adults.

Benincasa also guided her staff to implement programs that addressed STD/HIV prevention, intentional and unintentional injury prevention, alcohol and drug prevention and improving physical activity and dietary patterns. She also worked to implement the CDC’s evidenced based Diabetes Prevention Program.

Spencer said, “Lori’s 39 years of service and advocacy has truly made a meaningful difference to the lives of Suffolk County residents.

“I congratulate her on her retirement and am deeply thankful for her dedicated service and for the legacy she has left behind…”

Then, at a March 20 luncheon, Spencer recognized Huntington-based pediatrician Dr. Eve Meltzer-Krief as the “Woman of Distinction” in his 18th Legislative District.

The legislature hosted the Women’s History Month luncheon to honor women throughout Suffolk for their service to their communities.

Huntington-based pediatrician Dr. Eve Meltzer- Krief, right, with Legislator William “Doc” Spencer, left.

In an effort to unify those divided within our communities and to address recent acts of hate, Meltzer-Krief formed the Long Island Inclusive Communities Against Hate. The group is inclusive of faith leaders, educators and elected officials who are working together to foster initiatives toward mutual respect and understanding.

Spencer said, “Dr. Eve Meltzer-Krief has boundless energy when it comes to serving the community. Whether it is treating her patients as a pediatrician or out in the community advocating for healthcare and justice for all people, she generously gives of herself for the greater good.”

theater ‘In The Heights’ Excites With Musical Diversity

By Janee Law info@longislandergroup.com

The John W. Engeman Theater brings summer time to Northport with “In The Heights,” an energetic production that brings audience members to the vibrant community in New York’s Washington Heights.

Before he created the Broadway hit “Hamilton,” Lin-Manuel Miranda wowed audiences with “In The Heights,” his first musical that went on to win a Tony Award for “Best Musical.”

Engeman’s adaptation of the production brings romance, comedy and a diverse musical performance that excited the crowd at the Main Street theater last weekend.

The production is directed by Paul Stancato and choreographed by Sandalio Alvarez, with musical direction

by Alec Bart, and Dana Iannuzzi as associate director.

Through rap, hip-hop, reggaeton and merengue, the music and energetic dance sequences take audiences on a journey of a dream filled community that faces the ultimate struggle of whether or not to carry the traditions of the past or leave it behind.

Audience members Gail and Don

Cherry Torres (Nina) gives an emotional performance in “Breathe” of the John W. Engeman Theater’s production of “In The Heights.”

Conrad said after Saturday’s show that the “music was excellent” and the “dancers were fabulous.”

They added that their favorite character was Usnavi (Spiro Marcos), who had members of the audience bobbing their heads during his rhythmic rap sequences.

For other audience members like Lidia Rodriguez, the cast made her want to join the fun.

“I wish I could dance like that,” she said. “I love it and it was very touching. They talked about everything: life, death, hope, and home. It was a great show.”

With spirited numbers like “96,000,” “The Club” and “Carnaval del Barrio,” the production entertains from start to finish and tugs at the heartstrings with performances like “Breathe” and “Alabanza.”

With that, the story offers a love story that audiences can connect with, whether it’s Usnavi (Spiro Marcos) and his pursuit of Vanessa (Chiara Trentalange), or childhood friends Benny (Josh Marin) and Nina (Cherry Torres) whose relationship turns romantic with age.

Torres said the relationship between Benny and Nina is natural and one that many can relate to.

“Seeing someone that you grew up with your entire life and then all of a sudden seeing them in a different way is such a beautiful and natural progression that these characters have,” she said, adding that working opposite Marin is a pleasure.

Torres said she saw herself playing the character of Nina when the original production hit Broadway.

“I’ve wanted to play it for years because I had so many similarities with her,” she said, adding that when she landed the role, she was in tears.

“It means the world to me to have gotten this part. I’m just honored to be able to get on the stage and play her every time.”

Showings of “In The Heights” will continue at the 250 Main St. theater each Thursday and Friday, 8 p.m.; Saturday, 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.; and Sunday, 2 p.m. through April 29. There are also select 8 p.m., Wednesday and 7 p.m., Sunday show dates. Tickets ($73-$78) are available at the box office, or from Engemantheater.com.

The cast of the John W. Engeman Theater’s production of “In The Heights” will leave audience members mesmerized with the performance of 96,000.”

Nick Martinez (Sonny), Spiro Marcos (Usnavi) and Josh Marin (Benny), along with Danny Lopez (Graffiti Pete), not pictured, keep audiences entertained with their rhythmic collaboration and comedic delivery.

A Profess ional’s Opinion

b u s in e s s Investing: Active Vs. Passive Styles

By Jon L. Ten Haagen, CFP ® asktheexpert@longislandergroup.com

Depending on who you listen to and the time period, one or the other style of investing, active and passive, will be winning. Let’s take a look at both.

Passive Investing: An investor buys a basket of stocks (or bonds or alternatives) and normally adds to their investment on a regular basis (think about how your 401k, 403b or 457 plan works at work). This is called Dollar Cost Investing. They do this consistent buying whether the stock market is up or down.

Active Investing: Investors research and follow companies closely and buy or sell stocks based on their view of the future. The companies services, products, supply and demand.

Which style works for you? Passive investing seems to have the edge lately.

About 83-95 percent of active money managers fail to beat their benchmark returns in any specific year. Many investors want to join the winning team and are going on the passive side.

Passive investors are buying stocks and bonds mechanically meaning they are accepting the investments within the index they want to follow. This style uses computer and software to move money around rather than a high-priced professional. They can get a lower expense ratio, keeping annual cost lower. Costs factor into the total return.

There are many indexes to choose from. There is the Dow Jones, S&P500, NASDAQ, international indexes and specific indexes like the large cap stocks, med-cap, small-cap, and by industry, geography, country, socially responsible companies, green companies and many other niche arenas.

To get the market’s long-term returns you have to buy and hold for the long term. This is difficult because we watch and listen to the TV and radio and listen to the commentators constantly stirring the pot of worry.

Active investors are tempted to sell investments when they go down. Buy positions when their value goes up. Stop buying after the market goes up or down.

All these moves will reduce your returns. Each move generates commissions and or fees. Between 83- 85 percent of

active professional managers fail to beat their indexes in any given year. Therefore, buying and holding an active manager is not necessarily the answer.

Consider the case of Peter Lynch, one of the top stock pickers in the world.

Lynch ran the Fidelity Magellan fund for 13 years. He made an impressive average return of 29 percent per year, almost double the market’s return in the same time period. Even the best known managers like Warren Buffett and Sir John Templeton faltered at times. Many of the investors who followed Lynch actively traded his fund trying to do better.

The more astute ones did about a 7-percent average, and some of the average investors were lucky to break even. Passive investors who followed Lynch did well because they bought and held on.

You have to take some time to seriously consider what it is you want to accomplish and are comfortable with. Do you want to play the market and see if you can beat it? Do you have the time, desire, and expertise to take the time for this activity? Or do you want to find a good counselor/planner to help you make decisions and stay the long-term course of getting you to a comfortable re-

tirement? It is a long term commitment on your part. I have never had anyone come into my office and ask me to explain the VIX, or tell them how the NASDA works. No, they want to know how to pay off the mortgage, get the kids thru college, put enough away to enjoy retirement and play with the grandkids and take a few fun trips.

Local Vet Brings Passion To New Animal Hospital

cbeach@longislandergroup.com

Huntington’s newest animal hospital is making an effort to remove the stress that many pets and their owners often associate with a trip to the vet.

Dr. Denise Zeichner-Tamayo, of Huntington, opened Huntington Village Animal Hospital earlier this month, and since day one has been working to make her new state of the art veterinary facility a stress free environment.

“I built the practice to make it as stress free and easy on my patients as possible,” Zeichner-Tamayo said.

She’s made it a point to ensure everything from parking to the layout of the building was designed to make things easier for her animal patients and their owners.

The 50 Stewart Ave. space is found in the first floor of the recently-finished Icehouse Apartment building in Huntington village. There’s on-site parking with a spot designated for customers of the animal hospital.

Those patients who are particularly skittish can bypass the new, clean and spacious waiting room.

“We have the side door basically so you never have to go into the waiting room if you have an anxious pet. We tried to make separate areas for cats and dogs, and basically tried to make

Huntington Village Animal Hospital is located on the first floor of the recently finished Icehouse building on Stewart Avenue in Huntington village.

Dr. Denise Zeichner-Tamayo, of Huntington, strives to make going to the vet a stress free process for her animal patients and their owners. it a big, open and clean layout so it decreases stress and doesn’t have that typical hospital smell that makes can make the pets nervous,” ZeichnerTamayo said.

Zeichner-Tamayo, 34, brings a vigorous passion for helping animals to her new practice, which she described as “a dream come true.”

“I’m a younger vet, and having just opened my practice I bring this new passion,” Zeichner-Tamayo said. “It’s so exciting and thrilling, and in my staff I’ve really found a team of people that are just as excited as I am.”

A lifelong animal lover, ZeichnerTamayo earned both her undergraduate and veterinarian degrees from Cornell University before completing a year long internship at Long Island Veterinary Specialists in Plainview.

She spent three years as a staff clinician in emergency and critical care at Long Island Veterinary Specialists and two years as a staff surgeon at North Shore Animal League.

Now at the helm of her own fully functioning animal hospital, Zeichner-Tamayo brings a solid background in a variety of medical procedures to bear for her patients.

“We see outpatients, appointments, wellness visits, sick visits, any kind of emergencies and we can admit patients to the hospital for hospitalization as well,” Zeichner-Tamayo said.

The Huntington Village Animal

Hospital has in-house digital X-rays and lab tests available to make visits convenient for pet owners.

Zeichner-Tamayo said surgery is one of her specialties, and her animal hospital has full in-house surgical capabilities.

“I love surgery,” Zeichner-Tamayo said. “I also love doing emergency and critical care work, but also preventative medicine.”

The animal hospital can treat a variety of small mammals, from dogs and cats to rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs, but Zeichner-Tamayo’s expertise covers more unique pets as well.

“Especially for emergencies I’ll treat anything including birds and reptiles… I’ll pretty much see anything,”

Zeichner-Tamayo said.

While practicing medicine on patients who can’t tell you what’s wrong can be a challenge, Zeichner-Tamayo most enjoys forming relationships with the animals she treats and their owners.

“I love practicing medicine. I love seeing an animal get better and feel better,” Zeichner-Tamayo said. “I love knowing the pet, getting to know them and getting to know their owners and that relationship.”
