For the past 19 years, Coach Bill Dubin—formerly of Hewlett High School, now Assistant Coach at Sewanhaka—has spearheaded Hoops for Hope, a fundraiser for SIBSPlace. Three Hoops for Hope games were hosted on Jan. 13, 18 and 19, featuring boys basketball teams from a variety of schools across Nassau. The first of which pitted Bethpage High School against Oceanside High School, followed by Sewanhaka High School vs. Carey High School and Hewlett High School vs. Bellmore JFK High School. Following the game at Sewanhaka High School, Hoops for Hope organizers presented a giant check for $2,000 to SIBSPlace staff on hand.

Inaugural Medical Innovation Symposium

The Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/ Northwell successfully concluded its inaugural Medical Innovation Symposium on Saturday, January 6, 2024, at the medical school on the Hofstra University campus. The symposium showcased groundbreaking technologies and medical advances implemented by physicians and researchers across various medical specialties to enhance patient care and outcomes. The school’s first-ever conference dedicated to medical innovation was spearheaded by members of the student body with help from the school’s faculty and staff. David L. Battinelli, dean and Betsey Cushing Whitney Professor of Medicine, applauded the conference organizers and encouraged students to continue to innovate and solve problems. “Innovation is a discipline – every time you look at an aspect of medicine and healthcare, you should ask yourself, is there a better way to do that,” encouraged Dr. Battinelli, executive vice president and physician-in-chief of Northwell Health. “When we developed the medical school curriculum in 2008, we had our eyes on the year 2020; people thought that was too far in the future, but here we are now, and now we’re thinking about medical education in the year 2035 and beyond. Innovation is not immediate; it takes time, but innovators are always thinking about the future and asking, what if you could?” The symposium was well

SCHOOL NEWS EAST WILLISTON ALUMNUS SHARES FATHER’S HOLOCAUST SURVIVAL STORY The Wheatley School recently hosted a special presentation by Tom Glaser, a distinguished member of the Class of 1968, who shared an account of his father’s survival during the Holocaust. The event engaged students from Regional Studies and Participation in Government classes, as well as student officers from the SEC, Intercultural Unity (ICU) and No Place for Hate School clubs. Glaser’s presentation aligned with the school’s ongoing work to cultivate the students’ understanding of what happens when discrimination and hatred are left unchecked. It served as a reminder that while the Holocaust remains a challenging subject for any age group, taking the time to understand and remember what happened is the most effective tool in preventing future instances of discrimination and hatred. The powerful experience of hearing an account of Holocaust survival from a former Wheatley School student provided the students with a deeper understanding of

the lasting impact of such a horrific event. Following the presentation, the students reflected on what resonated with them and captured their sentiments by writing messages on paper leaves. Many of these messages conveyed sympathy for what Glaser’s father endured and emphasized the collective commitment to “never again.” Glaser gathered the students’ messages for a collaborative project with the Vermont Holocaust Memorial, which aims to collect 1.5 million leaves, symbolizing the 1.5 million children who tragically perished during the Holocaust. Glaser shares a special connection to the East Williston Union Free School District, as both he and his wife Jill, who joined him for the presentations, are alumni of the district. In addition, Glaser’s brother George, a graduate from the school in 1965, is honored annually with a scholar-athlete award bearing his name. — Submitted by the East Williston School District

KISS Vision Program Connects Hamyang Students With Herricks For Cultural Exchange LAUREN FELDMAN Lfeldman@antonmediagroup.com

ISS Products, a renowned global leader in beauty and personal care products, proudly hosted the 18th annual KISS Vision Program, an overseas study-abroad initiative that welcomed middle school students from Hamyang County, South Korea. The event commenced on January 11th, 2024, with a warm welcome and kickoff at KISS Products’ headquarters in Port Washington, marking the beginning of a transformative week-long educational experience. A notable highlight of the eight-day program was the longstanding partnership with Herricks High School, one of the top school districts on Long Island. On January 12th, students from Hamyang had the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in American school life by actively participating in classes alongside Herricks High School students. This collaboration facilitated firsthand experiences and collaborative activities, enriching the cultural exchange. During this special day, Hamyang students not only attended classes but also shared insights about South Korea with Herricks High School students. Topics ranged from modern and traditional aspects, such as the globally popular “KPOP” and “K-Drama,” to discussions on Korean cuisine, including the preparation of popular dishes. The Herricks students were also introduced to the rich cultural heritage of South Korea, particularly the traditional dress “Hanbok,” providing a unique learning experience for Herricks High School students. “Laughing together in class and discussing lessons felt like my hometown school life. Thanks to them, my view of the USA got even more positive,” said Hajin Lee, a Hamyang student. “Herricks High School’s kind friends, passionate teachers, and free class atmosphere were different and enjoyable. Thanks to Herricks High School, I had a new cultural school experience and created lasting memories.” The feeling was mutual for Herricks students. “It was a once in a lifetime experience. Such a wonderful way to learn about South Korea’s culture and to teach them about ours,” said Alexia Ranallo. “The KISS Exchange Program was so enlightening and I would love to do it again if I could,” said Davinder Chopra, another

The success of this partnership which began in 2019, prompted KISS Products to continue its partnership with Herricks High School, fostering global education and cultural exchange among youth. This ongoing collaboration has proven invaluable, with both Hamyang and Herricks students benefiting significantly from their shared experiences. Following this enriching exchange, the Vision program ventured into major cities like New York City, Washington, D.C., and Boston. The itinerary included visits to renowned tourist attractions and prestigious Ivy League universities such as Princeton, Yale, Harvard, and MIT. This immersive

experience aimed to instill a global outlook in the students, inspiring their educational pursuits and fostering a deeper understanding of diverse cultures. About KISS Vision Program Initiated in 2005, the KISS Vision Program exemplifies KISS Products’ commitment to global education and cultural exchange. This program extends a coveted invitation to middle school students from Hamyang County, providing them with a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of school life and culture in the United States. Seventeen talented students were selected through a rigorous process that involved participating in an English language contest

While in the US, Hamyang students also visited NYC! organized by KISS Products in collaboration with the Hamyang County Government. The selection process included submitting individual essays, self-introduction videos, and one-on-one video interviews, offering insights into each student’s goals and values. “The purpose of this program is to empower young individuals in Hamyang to envision greater dreams for the future, evolve into global leaders, and contribute to the development of Korea and the world through the opportunity to study in the United States.” The 18th annual KISS Vision Program event spanned from January 11th to January 18th, 2024. —Original press release provided by KISS Products

Bird Collisions Create Headaches How to help birds avoid hitting buildings

AMANDA OLSEN aolsen@antonmediagroup.com

A

big, glass-covered building makes a dramatic addition to a cityscape. It is a statement of human ingenuity and engineering. However, these buildings wreak havoc on birds. An estimated one billion birds die in collisions with buildings in the US every year. The majority of these collisions occur in the daytime, especially during the seasonal migrations of spring and fall, when more birds are moving between their regional territories. Surprisingly, smaller buildings have an even greater impact. While most people consider bird collisions with glass to be an urban phenomenon involving tall, many-windowed skyscrapers, the reality is that 56 percent of collision mortality occurs at low-rise buildings of four stories or less, 44 percent at urban and rural residences, and less than one percent at high-rise buildings, according to the US department of Fish and Wildlife. This is because shorter buildings are most common and are at the same level as the vegetation, making them more likely to be in the flight path of more birds. The reason birds collide with glass comes down to the difference between how humans and birds see the world. Contrary to a popular myth, neither humans nor birds “see” glass; anyone who has ever walked into what they thought was an open door will understand this concept. People are conditioned to understand that glass is transparent and/or reflective. Birds do not perceive glass, which creates a lethal illusion of open airspace. The majority of collisions occur during the day, when birds can see reflections of the landscape in the glass, such as clouds, the open sky, vegetation, or the ground, or birds see through the glass to real or perceived habitats like potted plants or vegetation inside the buildings. During inclement weather, especially overcast or foggy conditions, migrating birds can be attracted to lighted buildings. This results in collisions and exhaustion. The birds may become entrapped in parts of the structure or continually try to find a way through the glass, burning up precious energy reserves.

Choose Bird Friendly Glass Acid-etched, Fritted or Frosted Glass Most effective when on the glass exterior, “fritted” glass includes adhered ceramic lines, dots or other patterns. Etching, fritting, and frosting not only reduce the risk of bird collisions but also reduce energy costs by reducing solar heat gain (27 SHGC) and reducing cooling loads. You can save energy and birds while still naturally lighting your buildings. Existing glass can be frosted using sandblasting. Ultraviolet Patterned Glass Ultraviolet (UV)-reflecting glass products are available with patterns generally invisible to humans but visible to many birds species. Channel Glass Patterns created by channel glass reduce bird collisions; it is made of energy efficient, recycled materials. The American Bird Conservancy provides the latest recommendations in glass products.

Birds are critical to ecosystems. Those like crows and vultures scavenge carcasses, reducing the spread of diseases such as rabies and distemper. Some disperse seeds, spreading plants into new areas. Birds such as hummingbirds help pollinate plants. Predators like hawks and owls help keep the mouse and rat population in check. Others eat millions of mosquitoes and biting insects each year. Birds also serve as an important food source for other animals. Starting in April 2018, a group of Yale faculty, staff, students, alumni, and citizen scientists began monitoring bird collisions at Edward P. Evans Hall as part of a wider case study to monitor bird strikes on campus and develop a plan to reduce collisions. The building features roughly 130,000 square feet of exterior glass; a courtyard with six honey locust trees; and multiple design features linked to fatal bird collisions, such as transparent walkways and unobstructed, reflective windows abutting bird habitat. From April 2018 to April 2022, at least 419 birds were killed and at least 19 birds were injured or stunned due to collisions with the building. These birds represent at least 56 species, including multiple species of conservation concern. This shows the impact that human-created obstacles are having on all species of birds. Only free roaming, outdoor domestic cats are doing more damage to these populations, as published in the journal Nature

Communications. A number of steps can be taken to minimize bird collisions. Simply designing or retrofitting buildings to minimize elements that have been proven to confuse birds, including changing the type of glass used, adding awnings, shades and shutters to eliminate reflections, and adding screens and netting can reduce collisions by up to 90 percent. Another factor is night time lighting. Reducing or eliminating excessive and unnecessary nighttime illumination will not only help birds, but it also reduces light pollution and saves energy. The Fish and Wildlife service states that reduced lighting power can be accomplished using lighting control strategies that extinguish or dim interior lighting when it is unneeded, such as when the building is vacant, during the workday when a space is unoccupied, or when natural lighting is adequate. Exterior lighting can also employ motion sensors and light downshields resulting in cost savings with only modest initial investment. For individual homeowners, taking steps on the exterior of windows will be most effective. These treatments usually involve some form of visual disruption, such as lines or dots, that the birds can recognize as a barrier and avoid.

Senator: Feds Must Aggregate Storms To Unlock Aid

rmed with a new plan to tackle the recent walloping of Long Island beaches from back-to-back storms, U.S. Senator Charles Schumer picked up the phone and dialed Army Corps top brass to urge action. Schumer said that despite recent shoreline damage and public outcry, the Corps has not yet acted to preserve and rebuild critical protective dunes and beaches. Schumer revealed a new plan to push the Army Corps to fund emergency rehabilitation across Long Island shores as he laid out a path for the Corps to follow to get it done. “Look, the Army Corps has done important and critical work across Long Island. I made sure of that and I applaud it, but these back-to-back battering of storms have created an urgent and emergency level situation across Suffolk that demands more imminent actions to both contain and counter the threats to people, businesses and the local environment,” said Schumer. “I just got off the phone with Army Corps top brass to lay out a plan to unlock emergency funds for shoreline and beach rehab by aggregating back-to-back storms as one single event. I told the Corps my plan, they

A view of Fire Island from the Fire Island lighthouse Photo by Alex Nuñez agreed it with it and they’ll tell New York Corps officials the same.” Schumer explained that to unlock emergency funds, a threshold of damage needs to be met. Schumer explained that while recent storms do not independently hit the threshold mark, an aggregation or a cumulative measurement of the storms would achieve the threshold reach required to access the federal help. He said recent storms have caused major dune and berm erosion on the eastern side of Fire Island, west of Shinnecock Inlet, west of Fire Island Inlet on Jones Beach Island and Montauk.

Schumer already sent the Army Corps multiple letters asking for an emergency declaration and rehabilitation assistance for these areas, but the NY District repeatedly told Schumer’s office that multiple storms could not be grouped together to substantiate an emergency declaration. Schumer, today, is making the cogent case that the storms can be aggregated and he told top Corps brass this morning that the aggregation and declaration needs to happen ASAP. “Any answer that says Long Island’s recent storms cannot be aggregated

together to meet an emergency threshold for federal help is giving me a grain of sand on the beach of excuses, and that type of bureaucracy just won’t work for me, locals or environmental advocates,” said Schumer. “I told the Corps that the aggregate impacts of Hurricane Lee, Tropical Storm Ophelia, a storm on Dec. 17-18th and the storm this past Tuesday into Wednesday have all cumulatively contributed to major dune erosion and sand loss across Fire Island, the area West of Shinnecock Inlet, Jones Island Beaches (West of Fire Island Inlet: Gilgo, Overlook, Tobay, Gilgo State Park), and significant erosion in Montauk. “Some communities of Fire Island are left without any dune and berm protecting homes and geotextile bags protecting downtown Montauk have been washed away, fortifications near the commercial dock west of Shinnecock Inlet have been undone, and beachfront has washed away along eastern Jones Island town and state beaches, endangering public facilities and potentially Ocean Parkway,” Schumer added. “This is an emergency.” —Submitted by The Office of Senator Charles Schumer

WHY WE SUPPORT ISRAEL We support Israel because its democratic values align with our own.

We support Israel because, despite misinformation and disinformation, its embattled people believe in truth and justice, and its embattled defense forces actively seek to protect innocent lives amidst a war it did not provoke. We support Israel because its people have sought peace and reconciliation for close to 100 years, only to be thwarted time and time again by an ideology that denies the Jewish People’s right to self-determination. We support Israel because it represents an ancient civilization based on Jewish values of repairing the world, steeped in innovations that have provided millions of people the world over with lifesaving and life-affirming inventions. We support Israel in its absolute right to defend itself and free its people from captivity. Over 200 fathers, mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers, and their children and grandchildren were taken hostage. Its women were raped and their babies murdered. We support Israel because in its imperfection, it strives to do better; because in a world filled with cynicism, dictatorships, and despots bent on evil, Israel is a beleaguered bastion of decency and hope. Americans of all walks of life, of all political ideologies, of all cultures and ethnicities, recognize the difference between those who threaten Israeli freedom and ours, between those who would destroy a democratic people and those who will defend themselves to assure the safety of all of us.

On Long Island, customers have been doing just that. “It’s great that customers are making a commitment to saving energy and the environment through large and small measures to use energy more efficiently, and we’re glad to provide the rebates to encourage it,” said Michael Voltz, PSEG Long Island’s director of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. “PSEG Long Island supports National Cut Your Energy Costs Day because providing customers with money-saving options to save energy is a win for the customer, a win for the community and a win for the earth. When customers cut their electricity usage, it puts less strain on the grid, reduces their carbon footprint and results in more money in customers’ bank accounts.” For customers who have made a New

The nature of human life is such that everyone experiences and perceives the world around them differently, with their own perspectives and sense of context. Another thing that defines the human heart and intellect is our ability to hold multiple ideas in our heads at once; sometimes those ideas conflict, and sometimes they complement one another, and almost inevitably there are shades of nuance, subjectivity, and context involved. Those points have often come to mind for me over the past three months as I have seen an outpouring of grief, anger, and confusion from around the world and from my New York neighbors regarding the Israeli-Palestinian war. Like anyone else, my long-distance experience of the war this fall has been unique, though I’ve often felt emotions that many others are feeling, or asked the questions we’ve all heard time and again. As a 37-yearold half-Jewish journalist living in a Palestinian neighborhood in a metropolitan area containing the second-largest Jewish population in the world, I have also frequently found it necessary, vital even, to recall my capacity to hold multiple ideas in my head at once. On Thursday, October 5, 2023, I had surgery in my throat to remove a nodule that had been causing discomfort since 2018, and which possibly appeared to be, but ultimately was not, a cancerous growth. Back in 2019, a doctor had told me it looked like “either throat cancer or Eagle Syndrome,” and then told me not to Google the latter (which of course I did; it isn’t pretty, but cancer seemed worse). During what I’ll always think of as ‘the COVID years,’ I had to put off dealing with a couple of less-thanurgent medical and dental issues, including this one, which caused my throat to make what I can only describe as a big clunk every single time I swallowed and eventually made it hard to talk. By last October, I was extremely eager to have whatever it was removed from my throat, and (despite having a tiny, statistically appropriate amount of fear of either cancer or rare, unforeseen complications with anesthesia) I walked into the hospital that morning with high

hopes; that afternoon, I laid down on the surgery table with calm determination, and awoke again seemingly moments later still in the operating room (to my doctor’s mild surprise) with the problem solved. I walked out again that evening as the proud recipient of a Sistrunk procedure, with a non-cancer diagnosis and a nearly three-inch scar across my throat. About 32 hours later, on the morning of October 7, while I was still walking off (so to speak) the trace emotional and cognitive effects of general anesthesia and of surgery generally, my boyfriend looked up from his computer, asked how I was feeling, and added, “Did you see the news?”

and catchy pop song on the radio, which I recognized (despite mostly being a Rock gal) as “Wake Me Up” by Avicii, a Swedish artist a few years younger than myself, who skyrocketed to fame in the 2010s before facing substance abuse and health issues, who then apparently died by suicide in 2018 at the age of 28. In that moment the song, with its chorus of “Wake me up when it’s all over, when I’m wiser and I’m older,” reminded me of friends and colleagues I lost during the COVID years; it also made me think (as it often has) of people younger than That weekend, both an old friend me across this country who never and an aunt of mine passed briefly really knew a pre-COVID world, or through town (inspiring both me a pre-9/11 one, or even pre-Hurand my fairly demure throat banricane Sandy, for that matter.

even fundamentally the case with war, we know that brutality and tragedy has occurred on both sides. As of this writing, Israeli deaths are estimated at more than 1200, mostly occuring that first day; Palestinian deaths are estimated at over 25,000. One aspect of this war that many people may not be aware of is the fact that a particularly large number of journalists, estimated at around 100, have been killed there since Oct. 7. According to several journalism and media workers’ professional organizations, most of those killed were Palestinian, but a handful were from Israel, Lebanon, and perhaps other places, too. I’ll never forget getting a stunned text from my sister when she woke up after surgery on January 6, 2021 and it seemed like the world had changed while she was under. I was covering a story in Trenton, New Jersey at the time, and was following the social media feeds of several journalists I knew who were in D.C. to cover the rally. On that day, once I saw that my friend had safely withdrawn up onto some scaffolding, and that my sister had gotten out of surgery, I laughed with relief and disbelief and drove home, and went to bed early.

News From Long Island Plant Initiative Long Island Native Plant Initiative is looking for a Long Island local artist to design and create a mural for their new garage door. The door is down more often in the winter, creating the perfect canvas to let that creativity shine. This could be a good opportunity to showcase your talent and add to your portfolio. Email info@linpi. org if you are interested in helping to design a mural.

DMV Adopts “Under The Hood” Exemption For Commercial Driver License Road Test Governor Kathy Hochul recently announced a plan to remove barriers for prospective school bus drivers applying for a commercial driver license. At the Governor’s direction, the DMV has implemented a federal waiver that allows school bus driver applicants to skip the engine compartment component, also called the “under the hood” component of the commercial driver license road test. This waiver, secured through advocacy from Representative Joe Morelle, will make it easier to get a commercial license at a time when school bus drivers are desperately needed and is the latest in a series of actions directed by Governor Hochul to address the critical shortage of truck and bus drivers. The “under the hood” exemption is allowed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to help states hire more bus drivers without sacrificing safety, as existing school bus inspection and maintenance standards

continue to apply. During the road test, applicants are still required to perform the remaining elements of the Commercial Driver License (CDL) vehicle inspection skills test. This new CDL classification, which is set to expire November 27, 2024, will restrict licensees to driving only school buses and only in New York State. At the Governor’s direction, in 2022, the DMV launched a program authorizing third parties to conduct commercial road tests, which has significantly increased the capacity for these types of road tests statewide. There are currently 27 third-party entities conducting commercial driver license road tests throughout the State. In addition, through cooperation with county-operated DMV offices, the State also increased testing capacity for written commercial permit exams across the State. —From the Office of Governor Kathy Hochul

Avoid Frozen Pipes This Winter

A

s the temperature begins to drop lower and lower, it is essential to properly winterize your pipes this season. Each year, more than 250,000 homes suffer from frozen and burst pipes which can not only be costly but also devastating to your home. Here are some tips and recommendations to prevent the devastation and expense of frozen pipes this winter.

Monitor Your Home’s Temperature

If you can prevent temperatures from falling below 32 inside the home, you stand a better chance at warding off frozen pipes.

Disconnect Hoses

Open Your Cabinets

Closed cabinets can prevent the circulation of warmer air underneath your kitchen sink.

Keep Your Water Running

Pipes can’t freeze if you’re able to keep the water running with warm water.

Install Heat Tape

If you can physically see pipes and know about inclement weather coming, heat tape can greatly assist you in preventing freezing pipes. —Phil DePaul of Long Island United Water Restoration Group

COVER STORY

BY CHRISTY HINKO

I

chinko@antonmediagroup.com

n 1973, tennis legend Billie Jean King participated in the historic exhibition match known as the “Battle of the Sexes” against Bobby Riggs. King emerged victorious in straight sets, a landmark moment that transcended sports, highlighting gender equality and challenging societal norms. King is renowned for her remarkable achievements in tennis. She won a total of 39 Grand Slam titles, including 12 in singles, 16 in women’s doubles, and 11 in mixed doubles. Her versatility and dominance across various categories solidify her place as one of the greatest tennis players in history.

Advocate for Gender Equality

Billie Jean King: A Tennis Pioneer And Gender Equality Champion

Founding the Women’s Sports Foundation

Redefining history on and off the court

Beyond her on-court achievements, King is a passionate advocate for gender equality in sports and society. She played a pivotal role in the formation of the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) and actively campaigned for equal prize money for men and women in tennis.

In 1974, King co-founded the Women’s Sports Foundation, an organization dedicated to advancing the lives of girls and women through sports and physical activity. The foundation has played a crucial role in promoting gender equity in sports at all levels.

our bodies age. It gets harder to move, to eat well, and to prioritize mental health as time goes on, but I truly believe that a little bit of effort goes a long way, and that’s why I love working with Atria. They are the best in the business at what they do and we have the same values.

Presidential Medal of Freedom

In 2009, King was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama for her significant contributions to sports and her tireless efforts in promoting equality and social justice.

Personal Courage

In 1981, King publicly revealed her sexuality, becoming one of the first major sports figures to come out as gay. Her courageous decision to share her personal life has contributed to the broader conversation about LGBTQ+ rights and inclusion in sports. King’s impact extends beyond her tennis prowess, leaving an indelible mark on the sports world and society at large. Her commitment to equality, both on and off the court, has shaped the trajectory of women’s sports and continues to inspire generations. NBC Sports journalist and former tennis professional Julia Elbaba recently moderated a discussion with the iconic Billie Jean King at Atria Senior Living on Roslyn Harbor. King had been rounding the circuit, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the “Battle of the Sexes.” We had a chance to speak briefly with King

Billie Jean King (U.S.Open) about her influence and advice, as she is the national Wellness Ambassador for Atria Senior Living. Here is what she had to say.

CH: How did your partnership with Atria come about?

BJK:

I’ve worked with Atria Senior Living for several years because I truly value what they do and the lifestyle they provide for residents. My wife’s mother lived in an Atria community and we were so impressed with the care she received. My wife and I even temporarily lived in an Atria community and had the best experience. I work as a wellness coach for Atria and its residents. I help residents enrich their lives through active, healthy living—which is so important, especially as

BJK:

During COVID my wife, Ilana, got me back on the tennis court. We try and play tennis a few times a week. It’s mostly hitting but it helps get my heart rate up. It’s so important to work your heart and get your pulse up.

CH: As a sports legend and an active spokesperson, what are your top tips for readers to stay active and One of my earliest inspirations is my in charge of their own mother. She always told me “Billie, whatever wellness? you do, you’ve got to keep moving. If you stop moving, it’s over.” It’s a piece of advice BJK:

CH: Who has inspired your continuing wellness? BJK:

I’ve carried with me throughout my life. In my role with Atria Senior Living as their national wellness ambassador, I’ve tried to share this inspiration with others. Wellness is more than just eating the right foods and exercising—although both of those things are important. It’s about approaching aging with the mindset that it’s never too late to be your best self. When I speak with Atria residents, I see that they are committed to living their best lifestyle, no matter their age, and that inspires me, as well.

CH: How do you maintain wellness and fitness post-professional sports?

The biggest tip I can give is to create and maintain a routine. Consistent exercise is a great way to keep our bodies, as well as our minds, in shape as we age. I feel it myself, when I work out, not only does my body feel better, but so does my mind. When I talk with Atria residents, I always remind them that healthy living and wellness can start at any age. You don’t have to have been a professional athlete to be healthy! Similarly, healthy eating becomes easier the more you commit to it. Create a routine and prioritize healthful foods—vegetables, lean meats—but don’t forget to treat yourself every once in a while. That’s how you can maintain your routine long-term.

The Rising Trend Of Homesharing

Exploring benefits and drawbacks

BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

I

n recent years, there has been a noticeable trend in homesharing involving the elderly population. Homesharing, a concept where individuals share their homes with others, has gained popularity as a solution to address social isolation, financial challenges, and the need for companionship among seniors. This emerging trend has both its benefits and drawbacks, shaping the way we perceive and address the aging population’s living arrangements.

Benefits of Homesharing Companionship and Social Connection Homesharing offers the elderly a unique opportunity to combat loneliness and social isolation. Living alone can lead to feelings of isolation, which can negatively impact mental and emotional well-being. By sharing their homes with others, seniors can foster companionship and establish meaningful connections, reducing the risk of depression and loneliness. Financial Relief One of the primary reasons seniors may opt for homesharing is the financial benefit. In many cases, the elderly may be living on fixed incomes, and the cost of maintaining a home can be burdensome. By sharing living expenses with a housemate, seniors can alleviate financial strain, making it easier to afford necessities and maintain a higher quality of life.

One of the major challenges in homesharing with the elderly is ensuring compatibility between the individuals involved. Differing lifestyles, preferences, and routines can lead to conflicts, potentially causing stress for both parties. Finding compatible housemates becomes crucial to the success of homesharing arrangements. Privacy Concerns Seniors may value their privacy, and homesharing can sometimes infringe on personal space. Striking a balance between shared living spaces and private areas can be challenging, and conflicts may arise if boundaries are not clearly established and respected. Health and Care Needs The health and care needs of seniors can vary significantly. Homesharing may become complicated if the elderly individual requires specialized care or has specific health conditions. Ensuring that potential housemates are equipped to handle these needs is crucial to avoid putting the well-being of the elderly at risk.

Legal and Liability Issues Homesharing arrangements may involve legal and liability considerations.

Draft a comprehensive written agreement that outlines the terms of the homesharing arrangement. Include details such as rent or cost-sharing, responsibilities for household chores, and any specific rules or expectations. This document helps prevent misunderstandings and serves as a reference point in case of disputes.

Background Checks and References Conduct background checks and request references from potential housemates. This

Nassau County Bar Association Donates $7,500 To The Safe Center To Support Bilingual Services T he Safe Center, located in Bethpage, NY, today announced it has received a $7,500 grant from the WE CARE Fund, the nationally-recognized charitable arm of the Nassau County Bar Association, to support the Language Line Project which provides language interpretation services in most languages for callers to its hotline. The Language Line Project was first initiated in August of 2006, allowing callers to the Safe Center’s hotline to access services despite language differences. Since that time, it has been an invaluable tool for individuals, allowing communication with any hotline caller on a 24-hour/seven-day basis, as well as access to the full array of advocacy, case management, clinical, and legal services, and to assess each situation and provide the most appropriate intervention despite language differences. “Interpersonal violence doesn’t respect language barriers,” said Debbie Lyons, Associate Executive Director of The Safe Center. “WE CARE’s support helps individuals seeking out a life free of violence for themselves and their children.” Founded in 1988 by NCBA Past President Stephen Gassman, WE CARE funds are raised by the legal profession and the

community at large. In its 35 years of service, the WE CARE Fund has distributed more than $5,000,000 through charitable grants to improve the quality of life for children,

the elderly and others in need throughout Nassau County. Nurtured by the tireless efforts of lawyers and judges, the WE CARE program has matured into a nationally

recognized model for similar programs instituted by other bar groups. With the financial support and personal effort of so many, WE CARE has been able to serve the community in myriad ways. About The Safe Center The Safe Center, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit, is the leading victim service organization in Nassau County, providing comprehensive and trauma-informed services for victims of interpersonal violence including domestic violence, child sexual and severe physical abuse, rape and sexual assault, human trafficking, and elder abuse. In 2014, The Safe Center was created by the merger of the Nassau County Coalition Against Domestic Violence (founded in 1978) and the Coalition Against Child Abuse & Neglect (founded in 1979). This merger created a highly integrated service model to empower victims of interpersonal violence to recover from their abuse. The Safe Center operates a 24-hour Hotline (516-542-0404) providing crisis intervention, access to services, and information and support. Visit https://www.tscli.org for more information.

PLANNING FOR THOSE YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR A client came in to see us for their follow-up consultation. The client shared that, in between their two meetings with us, the husband‘s brother had suffered a stroke and was now in a rehabilitation facility. He was a bachelor. He had no power of attorney or health care proxy. He may or may not have had a will -- they didn’t know. Further, they were unable to get access to his apartment to clean out the fridge and get his clothes because he had failed to put them on the list of persons approved to enter in the event of an emergency. One of the most overlooked areas in estate planning is the question of who you are responsible for. Do you have a friend or relative who you know will need to rely on you if something happens? Either they have no one else or everyone else is too far away. If you have the responsibility, then make sure that you have the documents you will need to carry out that responsibility. Otherwise, the challenges become of a magnitude greater. Similarly, so many of our clients have adult children with young families. Do you know whether your children have wills, powers of attorney and health care proxies? There are serious pitfalls for young families if one spouse dies without a plan. Roughly half of their assets go to their surviving spouse and half to the children. The court will appoint a legal guardian for the children’s money and the unused portion must be turned over to them at age eighteen, ready or not! A potentially more serious problem for older adults is whether their sons and daughters who have families possess adequate life insurance. If your son or daughter dies without sufficient life insurance, you may be called upon to support and educate your grandchildren out of your retirement money. Finally, if you are responsible for the care of an elderly parent, then make sure it is you who has the power of attorney and health care proxy and not another sibling who may end up controlling the situation from afar, much to your dismay.

Each possession requires some kind of energy from you, whether it goes into upkeep, usage, storage or more. This is why, before you add anything at all to your scene, you’ll ask yourself the big question: Is it worth it?

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Technology can make things easier for you this week, as long as you stay in charge. Don’t let the digital world distract or boss you. Remember, the most magnificent processor on Earth is inside your own head. Your unique sense will lead you where no robot can go, and you’ll make of it what only a human could create. CANCER (June 22-July 22). This week, you’ll be aware of the spaces between you and the others in your life. You’ll tune in to what fills these gaps. Is it expectation or warmth? Is it joy, trepidation or a focused energy for getting the work done? Whatever it is, you’ll notice, use or change it to make relationships as strong as they can be.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Because memory is an impression, false memories are easier to come by than one might think. And each time you recall a scene, your mind is affecting it, which could cause the facts and details to drift further and further from what really happened. Keep records. Solidify what you know to be true. Decide which details help you the most. Savor those. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You won’t need to do your own publicity this week, which is great considering how difficult it is to be objective about one’s own work. Instead of explaining yourself, let your admirers talk you up. You’ll have many. Someone close will be in a position to give things the emphasis needed to fit a dreamy opportunity. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The sign of the centaur knows thoughts can be as unruly as wild horses. Those spacious moments where your mind can roam free are necessary to release the tension, stir up passion and creativity, and also just to let childish thoughts tire themselves out so they will no longer interfere with your higher-level plans. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are many elements that contribute to the success of an endeavor, including a pool of resources, a supportive team, a vision and a good plan. But the most important thing to get right this week is your motivation. When you know why you’re doing a thing, all the other elements will fall right in line. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You keep ramping up your expectation of yourself, a practice that, for the most part, keeps you sharp and ever improving. But sometimes, it gets to be too much pressure. Your body will tell you it’s time to relax, and though your mind resists the idea, let the restoration happen. Everything springs from physical vitality. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you’re going to excel at pleasing anyone this week, let it be yourself. Pleasing others is a double-edged sword. On the one side, there are rewards. On the other, the chance that you will create a dynamic of dependency. Before you act, consider what responsibility or obligation this will set up for your future.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You’re more attractive than ever this year to people, opportunities and resources alike. Coming from a sense of curiosity, imagination and wonder, you’ll conduct inspired experiments of all kinds. You’ll depart from the familiar for a wild adventure. Upon returning, you’ll find new joy in the life you’ve built. More highlights: Touches of clairvoyance, a mode of travel that’s much easier for you, and relationships that connect you with the feelings, lifestyle and work you’ve long wanted to cultivate.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Not all negative self-judgments hurt you. You’ll get the feeling you can do better and you’ll prod yourself to a higher level. Whether you achieve it or not is irrelevant. To love yourself no matter how you perform is to give yourself deep, unconditional acceptance -- a win beyond the rewards of the endeavor.

It stands to reason that you shouldn’t allow the success of a contract to depend on a guess when there is a way of avoiding the guess. The aim should be to remain in control at all times, and so be the master of your own fate. Take this case where West leads a heart against three notrump, and East plays the king. It is only the first trick, but the outcome rests largely on South’s play at this point. If he plays the right card, he can considerably improve his chances

of making the contract, and will succeed as the cards actually lie. But if he plays the wrong card, he must guess right later to get home safely. First, let’s see what happens if South takes the king of hearts with the ace. He can cash four diamonds, but then must guess whether to next play a spade or a club. If he guesses wrong by leading a spade, East takes the ace and returns a heart. West’s hearts thus become established, and, because West has the ace of clubs as an entry, declarer finishes down one. Of course, if South guesses right by attacking clubs before spades, he makes the contract, but the fact remains that at trick one he placed his fate in the laps of the gods. Now let’s see what happens if South allows East’s king of hearts to hold the first trick, as he should. Declarer wins East’s heart return and no longer has to guess whether to attack spades or clubs first. He is on safe ground either way. Let’s say he tackles spades first. East takes the ace but has no heart to return, and South makes four notrump. The same result accrues if South tackles clubs first. West can take the ace and establish his suit, but has no way to regain the lead later, and again South finishes with 10 tricks.

Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care Opens New Center In Lake Success

orthwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care opened a new pediatric and adult urgent care center in Lake Success. The center is located at 1436 Union Tpke. in the Lake Success Shopping Center, just one mile away from more than a dozen Northwell Health emergency and specialty services, including Cohen Children’s Medical Center and Long Island Jewish Medical Center. The new Lake Success center is Northwell Health-GoHealth’s 60th location in New York, and the third with Cohen Children’s-credentialed pediatricians onsite to provide expanded care for babies and children. “We are proud to build on Northwell Health’s presence in the region and provide more accessible, on-demand healthcare options outside of the emergency department for the Lake Success community. Quick and easy access to non-emergent care options is essential for individuals, families and our community,” said Vivek Taparia, regional president of Northwell Health-GoHealth. “Our new center provides unmatched convenience for children and adults who require quick care for minor injuries or illnesses.” The new Lake Success center treats babies as young as 1 week old, children, teens and adults for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries. With onsite labs and X-rays, it provides the region with a new convenient and more affordable option for expert care

outside of higher-cost settings like the emergency department. Located near a Northwell Health medical hub, the center is one mile away from Northwell Health’s: • Cohen Children’s Medical Center • Long Island Jewish Medical Center • Katz Women’s Hospital • Zucker Hillside Hospital • Center for Advanced Medicine • Northwell Health Cancer Institute • Northwell Health Sandra Atlas Bass Otolaryngology Center • The Smith Institute for Urology The Lake Success center was designed with kids in mind. Its board-certified pediatricians are credentialed through Cohen Children’s Medical Center. They treat children as young as one week old. The wallpaper and color palettes feature harmonious patterns from nature that are visually pleasing and soothing. The center’s innovative, award-winning urgent care design also features wood accents, curved surfaces and customer-friendly technology that create a uniquely comfortable patient experience for young and old. “As the saying goes, children are not just little adults, they come with their own set of medical issues and ways of interacting with them,” said Dr. Lynda Gerberg, lead pediatrician, Cohen Children’s Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care. “Oftentimes when working parents come home to a sick or injured child, they are so grateful that

Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care is located at 1436 Union Tpke. in the Lake Success Shopping Center. (Contributed photo) they’re able to get care for their little ones from a Cohen Children’s pediatrician without going to the emergency room, especially afterhours.” The center is open 365 days a year, providing same-day, evening, weekend, and holiday care. Pediatricians are available 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and general urgent care providers are available from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week. An additional

center is scheduled to open in Yaphank in early 2024. Patients seeking care can be seen quickly and easily by walking into any of Northwell Health-GoHealth’s 60 centers or by going online to save a spot and pre-register.
