Sixth Annual Garlic Festival in Atlantic Beach Honoring Village of A. B. lifefguards page 3
The Village of Atlantic Beach celebrated its sixth annual Garlic Festival on Aug. 6 at the AB Village Garden, bringing residents, families and neighbors together for an evening of food, music and community spirit. The event featured several varieties of garden-grown organic garlic, onions and shallots, along with garden-
made dried herbs and seasonings available for purchase. Attendees enjoyed complimentary tastings and live music with Sophie. The Village Garden, located on Plaza Boulevard across from Atlantic Beach Village Hall, is an allorganic demonstration and learning garden that grows a variety of vegetables. Produce from the garden is
donated weekly to local soup kitchens and food pantries serving neighbors in need. The festival offered a chance for residents to sup-
port the garden while enjoying its harvest and celebrating Atlantic Beach’s community spirit. — Melissa Berman
dr. mark ashamalla Know your risk for prostate cancer and get tested By MELISSA BERMAN mberman@liherald.com
Q: What are the biggest risk factors for prostate cancer? A: Ashamalla: The three biggest risk factors are age, family history and ancestry. Prostate cancer is uncommon in men younger than 50, and the median age at diagnosis is in the mid60s. Having a father or brother with prostate cancer can significantly increase a man’s risk, particularly if the relative was diagnosed at a younger age or multiple family members have been affected. Certain inherited mutations, including BRCA2, also increase risk. Black men face the highest risk of prostate cancer among racial groups in the United States. For men at average risk, I recommend
beginning the conversation about screening around ages 45 to 50. Men at higher risk should begin talking with their doctor at 40. Q: Can a man have prostate cancer without experiencing symptoms? A: Ashamalla: Absolutely. Early prostate cancer is essentially silent. When prostate cancer is most curable, it usually causes no symptoms. Most localized cancers are detected through a simple PSA blood test rather than because a man feels something is wrong. Men should not assume that having normal urinary function means they do not have prostate cancer. Urinary symptoms that develop with age are often related to an enlarged prostate and

lance is generally preferred. That means monitoring the cancer with PSA tests, imaging and, when appropriate, biopsies, rather than immediately treating it. For intermediate-, high- or very-high-risk disease, active treatment is generally recommended. Options can include surgery or radiation, sometimes combined with hormone therapy. For localized disease, surgery and radiation have very similar long-term cure rates, so the decision often comes down to the potential side effects and the patient’s preferences. Q: How has radiation treatment for prostate cancer changed?
are not necessarily caused by cancer. Q: How do doctors determine whether a patient needs active surveillance, surgery or radiation? A: Ashamalla: Treatment is based on the individual patient and the characteristics of the cancer. We look at the Gleason score, PSA level and tumor stage to determine the cancer’s risk category. For men with low-risk disease, active surveil-
A: Ashamalla: Radiation has become much more precise. One approach is stereotactic body radiation therapy, or SBRT, which can deliver highly focused treatment in as few as five sessions, with each treatment taking about 10 minutes. It is not appropriate for every patient, but for certain men it can significantly reduce the number of visits compared with traditional radiation schedules. We also have better imaging, implanted markers that help
track the prostate during treatment and rectal spacers that create distance between the prostate and rectum. These advances allow us to target the prostate more accurately while protecting surrounding healthy tissue. Q: What should men know about side effects and the importance of screening? A: Ashamalla: The side-effect profile of prostate radiation today is dramatically better than it was 10 to 15 years ago. The more precisely we can shape radiation around the prostate and away from healthy organs, the fewer side effects patients experience. Most importantly, men should not wait until they feel sick to get screened. Feeling healthy is exactly why prostate cancer can be dangerous. When the disease is in its most curable stage, there may be no warning signs at all. For most men, getting started can be as simple as one conversation with a doctor and a PSA blood test. For Black men and those with a family history of prostate cancer, that conversation should begin earlier.

off to reduce the amount of assets required to be “spent down” in order to obtain Medicaid eligibility. Although only one automobile is allowed, nothing prevents the spouse from trading in the old clunker for a brand new car. When there is no spouse, the resource allowance falls to about $33,000. The home and automobile, no longer needed by the applicant, are no longer exempt. Nevertheless, the home may still be protected if an adult child was living in the home and caring for the parent for the two year period immediately prior to the parent entering the nursing home. Clients often ask whether Medicaid can “go after” the assets when the community spouse dies after the institutionalized spouse. If the assets were exempt, then Medicaid has no “right of recovery”. In other cases, such as where there is no spouse, consultation with an elder law attorney may be needed to avoid estate recovery.

Under Medicaid, the combined assets of spouses are available for the care of the ill or “institutionalized” spouse, regardless whose name those assets are in. Nevertheless, many assets or “resources” are exempt from Medicaid when there is a spouse at home (the “community spouse”). Some of these are: • The home up to a value of $1,130,000 • $75,000 to $162,500 in resources • One automobile • Prepaid funeral and burial for applicant, spouse and immediate family • Household furniture, personal effects, jewelry • IRA’s, 401(k)’s, 403(b)’s, and other qualified plans Since the home is an exempt asset when a spouse is living there, so are repairs and improvements to the home, including new carpeting, appliances, kitchen, baths, modifications for handicapped accessibility, lifts for stairs, etc. A mortgage can be paid

Village lifeguards wrap up a busy summer in A.B. By MELISSA BERMAN
Melissa Berman/Herald
Anthony Scotto di Clemente, left, and Daniel Vanefsky, right, were honored at the Village of Atlantic Beach’s monthly Board of Trustees meeting on Aug. 10 for a life-saving rescue on Aug. 9 by Chief Lifeguard Dan Majikas, second from left and Parks and Beach Commission Chairman Nat Etrog, second from right.
Atlantic Beach officials praised the village’s lifeguards and beach staff for keeping residents and visitors safe through a busy summer season, including a dramatic rescue that involved multiple lifeguards and beach personnel, during the Village Board’s Aug. 10 meeting. Chief Lifeguard Dan Majikas said the beach staff has been particularly busy in recent weeks because of high surf and strong currents, which have prompted yellow-flag warnings. “Yesterday (Aug. 9), there was an all hands rescue at Plaza, involving backward stabilization for a spinal injury,” Majikas said. “Multiple lifeguards acted immediately to save the victim’s life, as he was immobile in the water.” The victim was stabilized in the water before Atlantic Beach Rescue arrived. Paramedics then took over and the victim was safely removed from the beach and airlifted to a hospital. Majikas specifically commended lifeguards Daniel Vanefsky and Anthony Scotto di Clemente for their immediate actions during the rescue. He also recognized Sam Orland, who ran over from Eldorado Beach; Assistant Chief Lifeguard Trevor Raden, who arrived by all-terrain
vehicle from Vernon Beach; and Mike Sorrentino, who opened the gates to allow paramedics and other emergency personnel onto the beach. Majikas also thanked Atlantic Beach lifeguards and staff, lifeguard chiefs, members of Atlantic Beach Rescue and the medical personnel involved in the response. “I would just like, if we could please take a moment to acknowledge the outstanding actions of these two young men who acted immediately, Daniel Vanefsky and Anthony Scotto di Clemente,” Majikas said. Parks and Beach Commission Chairman Nat Etrog also highlighted the important role lifeguards play, urging residents to support legislation that would recognize lifeguards as certified first responders. A similar resolution has passed in New Jersey, Etrog said, providing lifeguards with some of the benefits available to other first responders. “Lifeguards really deserve this designation,” Etrog said, encouraging residents to contact their state and federal representatives to support similar legislation in New York. Etrog also reminded beachgoers to pay attention to water conditions. While Atlantic Beach benefits from its jetties, he said currents moving east and west have been prevalent this summer. “When the red flags are out,
please adhere to what the lifeguards are telling,” Etrog said. “Usually they say, waist deep, to be careful.” As the summer enters its final weeks, staffing has become another priority. Some young lifeguards and beach employees have already returned to college, while others will soon leave for school. Majikas said part-time employees have helped the village remain fully staffed as often as possible, and several new employees have recently been hired following swim tests and surf training. Beach Manager Michael Sorrentino said the village is on track to maintain staffing through the remainder of the season. The village recently hired seven additional employees for chair and beach attendance positions to help fill gaps created by college departures. “We’ve had a great summer so far,” Sorrentino said. “I’m happy to report the things that have been running smoothly, and then we’re on track for maintaining full staff, despite some of our workers, going away for college.” He reminded residents that the beach season will officially conclude on Labor Day, Sept. 7. Residents with chairs, umbrellas or beach houses were asked to remove their belongings before the final day of beach operations.
WIC to provide Cholov Yisroel infant formula By AIDAN WARSHAVSKY
What is WIC?
awarshavsky@liherald.com
For the first time in New York, Orthodox Jewish families will have access through the state’s Women, Infants and Children nutrition program, WIC, to a Cholov Yisroel infant formula — dairy produced under Jewish supervision. The change could have particular significance in the Five Towns, where the UJA-Federation of New York’s 2023 Jewish Community Study estimates there are more than 40,000 Jewish families — 69 percent of whom identify as Orthodox Jews — including 15,000 Jewish children. Far Rockaway is another community noted for its Jewish population. While Cholov Yisroel formulas exist, the products considered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture were 0.1 milligrams below the federal iron requirement, keeping them from being covered by WIC. Cholov Yisroel baby formula brands cost between $33 and $43, according to Western Kosher. The Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty, a Jewish nonprofit dedicated to fighting poverty, discovered the discrepancy in 2023 after one of its member agencies reported that WIC-eligible mothers were leaving stores without formula. The change was approved by Gov. Kathy Hochul and state Health Com-
The WIC program, Women, infants and children, is a federal nutrition program that helps parents provide food for their families. WIC provides fully formula-fed infants ages 1 to 3 months with nine 12.5-ounce containers of powdered formula per month and 10 containers per month for infants ages 4 to 5 months, according to state WIC guidelines. — USDA Food and Nutrition Organizationm

McDonald. “For years, mothers were told that WIC would help them buy formula for their babies,” David G. Greenfield, chief executive officer of Met Council, said in a news release. “Not a single approved product was Cholov Yisroel.” The Rina Shkolnik Kosher Food Pantry in Cedarhurst, is run by the
Marion & Aaron Gural JCC. While the pantry does not accept WIC, Stacey Feldman, the JCC’s executive director, said the decision is significant for families who keep Cholov Yisroel. “We are pleased that baby formula options have been expanded to include those that are Cholov Yisroel,” Feldman wrote in email. “Formula is an
expensive item and now that it will be offered, it enables families to spend what little resources they may have on other items they need for their children which may not be covered. Greenfield thanked Hochul, McDonald and the state Health Department for making the change, saying WIC “finally works for every New York family.” “No mother should have to choose between keeping Cholov Yisroel and feeding her baby,” Greenfield wrote. “For the families affected, it is life changing.” As of press time, the state health department did not reply for comment.

Parents are partners, not spectators
A
s children head back to school, parents naturally want to make sure their kids succeed — good grades, positive relationships with teachers and classmates, and a school year filled with opportunities. That instinct is understandable. Parents have an important role in their children’s education. They should know what their kids are learning, monitor attendance and academic progress, communicate with teachers and school officials, attend meetings when appropriate, and ask questions when something doesn’t seem right. When a problem arises, parents shouldn’t be afraid to address it. The key is to address problems with the school rather than automatically trying to solve every problem for the child. Children need opportunities to develop independence, responsibility and confidence. Those qualities develop when they are given the chance to navigate challenges themselves. No parent wants to see a child struggle with a difficult assignment, receive a disappointing grade, have a disagreement with a friend or feel frustrated by a teacher’s decision. The natural reaction can be to intervene immediately. Send the email. Make the phone call. Explain the situation. Fix the problem. Sometimes intervention is necessary. Par-
ents should step in when a child is being bullied, facing discrimination, dealing with a serious safety concern or encountering a problem that requires adult assistance. But a forgotten assignment can be a lesson in organization. A poor grade can be a chance to understand what went wrong and develop a better approach. A disagreement with a classmate can teach a child how to communicate, compromise and resolve conflicts. A difficult interaction with a teacher can teach a student to respectfully advocate for him or herself. School is about far more than academics. It is also where children learn how to function in the world. They learn to meet deadlines, ask questions, accept constructive criticism, work with others, make decisions and live with the consequences. They won’t always get it right. And that’s OK. Mistakes aren’t necessarily signs that a child is failing. Often, they are evidence that a child is learning. The goal of parenting is not to eliminate every mistake, but to help children understand them and become better equipped to handle the next challenge. Teachers and schools have an obvious role in this partnership. Educators should communicate clearly with families, offer appropriate opportunities for parents to be involved and recognize that they know their children in
ways teachers cannot. At the same time, schools must give students space to develop their own relationships, voices and responsibilities. The partnership works best when everyone understands their roles. Parents provide support and guidance. Teachers provide instruction and expertise. And students, increasingly as they grow older, take responsibility for their own education. That balance may look different in kindergarten than it does in high school. A young child may need considerable parental assistance getting organized, completing routines and understanding expectations. An older student should gradually take more ownership — contacting a teacher, tracking assignments, preparing for a test or addressing a problem before a parent becomes involved. The ultimate goal is not to have children depend on their parents indefinitely. It is to prepare them to become capable adults who can make decisions, solve problems and recover when things don’t go according to plan. As a new school year begins, parents should remember that their children are not projects to be perfectly managed. They are young people learning how to become independent. The job is not to make sure students never stumble. It is to make sure they know how to get back up.
LEttER to tHE EDitoR Why are we talking about measles again? To the Editor: It happened a long time ago, but I still remember my childhood bout with measles. I was 7. Measles had been going around my elementary school for months. Many of my second-grade classmates had already been sick. With no vaccine available, everyone was at risk. Early that spring, it was my turn. I felt flushed and tired in school one afternoon, and by the next evening was running a fever and feeling achy. The days that followed were awful. I developed a hacking cough and a sensitivity to light. When my temperature hit 102 one night, my parents took turns bathing my arms, chest and forehead with cool washcloths. I remember the worried looks on their faces. After six rough days, I began to feel slightly better —

still weak but less feverish. The rash that had covered my body gradually disappeared. I coughed less as the days passed. Almost three weeks after getting sick, I returned to school. In 1963, when measles vaccines finally became available, my mother said that no one would ever suffer from this dreaded disease again. Though her optimism was a bit premature — measles didn’t vanish overnight — the number of cases nevertheless declined steadily as more children became vaccinated. By 2000, the World Health Organization declared the disease essentially eliminated in America. But now measles is back, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reporting more than 2,400 confirmed cases in 2026 — more than all of last year. In fact, the number of reported cases in the past 20 months is greater than the previous 24 years combined. CDC data also indicates that most of those infected are young and unvaccinated. While U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has
Stuart Richner - Publisher Jeffrey Bessen - Managing Editor Melissa Berman - Senior Reporter
recently encouraged parents to vaccinate their children against measles, he has had a long history of skepticism about vaccines, even pushing debunked connections between vaccines and autism. A chorus of anti-vaxxers share online conspiracy theories about the medical profession and the pharmaceutical industry. Now we have President Trump’s recent executive order calling for the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine to be administered to children in three separate doses rather than two, the standard practice. His order has dismayed and angered doctors and other health care professionals, who fear that more children will receive incomplete dosages or wind up completely unvaccinated. While a few thousand cases of measles may not strike some as serious, especially since most people recover from it, it’s astonishing that we’re even talking about a disease that was once practically eliminated. Shame on those who have stoked anxiety and confusion about MMR. And politics aside, there can be no excuse for putting

kdechter@liherald.com
Inwood Country Club welcomed more than 200 golfers on Aug. 17 as the Lynbrook Mayor’s Golf Outing returned with the largest turnout in the fundraiser’s history. The annual outing drew 334 golfers across two courses, with 222 playing at Inwood Country Club and another 112 at Seawane Club. About 260 people also registered for the dinner, according to outing chairman Jeffrey Greenfield. “This is the most successful golf outing going into the event in the history of the Mayor’s Golf Outing,” Greenfield said. “We have the highest number of golfers and dinner registrations.” Last year, about 200 golfers participated across the two courses. Proceeds from the annual fundraiser primarily benefit the Lynbrook Community Chest, which provides assistance to residents facing financial hardships. The outing also supports veterans organizations and scholarship funds in Lynbrook and Malverne. Greenfield said the committee will determine this year’s donation amounts once the event’s expenses are finalized. Donations have increased in each of the past three years.
