The David Morse Code Staying true to his craft in Escape From Dannemora

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

hen inmates Richard Matt and David Sweat broke out of Clinton Correctional Facility in the small Upstate New York Village of Dannemora back in 2015, actor David Morse was as intrigued as everyone else about this inside job that stretched out for three weeks. Little did Morse know that three years later he’d have a feature role in Showtime’s Escape at Dannemora. Directed by Ben Stiller, the seven-part series stars Benicio del Toro and Paul Dano as Matt and Sweat, who are aided by Patricia Arquette’s Tilly Mitchell, a prison worker romantically enmeshed with both of them, who helps facilitate their escape. Morse plays Gene Palmer, an inmate escort guard who befriended Matt and was subsequently duped by him. For the 65-year-old character actor, the combination of the story, the writing and the chance to work with del Toro and Arquette proved to be an irresistible lure to playing this role. Meeting up with Stiller, who wound up executive producing and directing every episode, sealed the deal for him. “Finding out that [Ben] Stiller was going to be directing the entire thing [made a difference, given that it was such] a Herculean kind of task,” he recalled. “We met in New York and had a great meeting, talking about the show and our lives. And not having met him before and being really familiar with his movies—some dramatic, but [the comedies] most people are familiar with—I really saw a man who was so much more complicated and had so much depth to him than you would guess.” For Morse, who has played George Washington and former Pittsburgh Steeler great Mike Webster in the 2015 film Concussion, taking on a role based on a real-life person always presents certain challenges. In playing Palmer, he not only listened to an interview the inmate escort guard did with NPR and read transcripts of the deposition, but offered to meet with him a number of times. Morse found out Palmer was uncomfortable with the proposition. “I asked if he’d like me to talk with him to show respect for what he’s been through, but he didn’t really want to do that,” Morse said. “There’s always this challenge with [playing] living people. And even [historical figures] like George Washington, who people have such a personal and clear idea of who they think he was. It’s different with Gene Palmer. People obviously don’t know him in that way, but his community and family knows him. Given what he did, you try to play him in a way so that you get some sense of how this could possibly have happened to him or how he’d get himself in a situation where he would wind up going to jail, while being respectful of the man. It’s a fine line to walk.” In playing a prison guard, it’s the latest in a long line of uniformed characters the Boston native has played over a career that dates back to his debut in the 1980 Richard Donner drama Inside Moves. While his other prison screw role includes, 1999’s The Green Mile, he has also played a deputy sheriff (The Indian Runner), an ex-cop-turned-cabbie (Hack), an army colonel (The Hurt Locker) and most notably, New Orleans police lieutenant Terry Colson in HBO’s Treme. Morse has particularly fond memories of the latter, given the

Benicio Del Toro (left) and David Morse in Escape at Dannemora fact that the part he originally auditioned for went to John Goodman. And while he thought he missed out, series creator David Simon reached out for what was supposed to be a one-off character. “When I didn’t get [the original role I wanted], and I didn’t hear from [the Treme people], I was really kind of hurt and disappointed. Then I was doing a film in Vancouver, and I got a call that David wanted to talk to me. He said he had a role that he’d like me to do. I’d be Melissa [Leo’s] sort of love interest,” he recalled. “All he had was one scene, and he couldn’t really tell me about the character and there was really nothing to go on. I hadn’t seen it, and it hadn’t aired yet. I didn’t know anything, and I read one scene. I thought that this was David Simon, and how many times was this going to happen? So, let’s go and see where it takes us. It was pretty remarkable to be a part of that and live in New Orleans for three and a half years. I was happy that I did that.” Having cut his teeth as a member of the Boston Repertory Theater, Morse’s big break came in 1982, when he landed what became a six-year stint on the television medical drama St. Elsewhere. And while he’s grateful for the opportunity, his fear at the time was being looked at as “merely” a television actor having already appeared in film and on the stage. The potential for that to happen has driven how Morse has continued to creatively define himself. “When I was on St. Elsewhere, there was not only the concern of getting typecast in a certain kind of

David Morse playing George Washington in the 2008 HBO miniseries John Adams character, but getting trapped in the world of television, and not being able to get out of that. Or being trapped in the world of musical theater and not being able to get out of that. Or being trapped in a certain world and trying to bridge those worlds was so difficult at that time. Now, there’s much more cross-over,” he said. “But at that time, there wasn’t. I did nothing but television for 10 years, once I started St. Elsewhere, it was very difficult to break free of that. And I’ve said this before but I really didn’t want to be defined as a television, movie or theater actor. I want to do it all, as long as I didn’t get stuck under the industry’s thumb doing what they thought I could or should do. It’s something I’ve really tried to do.” Escape at Dannemora is currently airing on Showtime; Check local listings for times.

David Morse’s Favorite Roles BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

ith nearly 100 film and television credits under his belt, David Morse has created quite a reputation for himself as the consummate character actor. He’s also made a name for himself on the stage, having appeared alongside old St. Elsewhere castmate Denzel Washington in a recent Broadway revival of The Iceman Cometh. The following are Morse’s favorite roles in those three different arenas of acting. The Crossing Guard (1995) “People always respond to The Green Mile because it’s the one they remember the most because it’s on all the time. It was a great role and a great cast. But the one that really changed my life more was doing The Crossing Guard with Sean [Penn] and Jack Nicholson. It came at a time when it was very difficult for myself and my family’s life. And Sean really had to fight for me to do Indian Runner and then he really had to fight to have me do The Crossing Guard. He involved

David Morse in The Crossing Guard me in the entire process. The whole four years it took to do that, I was involved in writing the script—just the whole deal. I loved that character and that experience, and it really was a crucial time in my life.” How I Learned to Drive (1997) “What we just did on Broadway in the theater—it would be hard to say The Iceman Cometh wasn’t my favorite experience. But there was one that really was so unexpected when we did it. That was How I Learned

David Morse (left) and Christopher Plummer in Prototype to Drive with Mary-Louise Parker and Paula Vogel. We originally did it at the Vineyard [Theatre] and the reviews were amazing. We wound up nominated for every possible award and winning most of them, including the Pulitzer Prize. It just became an event in the city that people had to be a part of and come see. To be a part of something like that in New York City with an actress like Mary-Louise Parker—and everybody in that play really. That was pretty extraordinary and pretty meaningful to all of us.”

Prototype (1983) “In television, there’s so much to choose from, but I’m going to say the first experience that I had in television that many people won’t know about. People who saw it will understand why I feel this way. There was a TV movie called Prototype

that Christopher Plummer and I starred in. It was sort of a modern-day Frankenstein story. I played a computer that he had created. He didn’t know that he created it for the military, and when he realized that they were going to take me and use me as this high-tech killing machine, he ran away with his computer. So the whole story is about him, this man who never had children, falling in love with this computer. The computer, who supposedly has no feelings, is beginning to understand feelings in this relationship with him. The ending of it is so heartbreaking. It was so beautifully written and it kind of set a bar, along with St. Elsewhere, in terms of my television experience, for what television can be and how great it can be. I think that after that, I was never too snotty about television and really saw the power and potential of it.”

Gittin’ Down With Shooter Jennings

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

TO ADVERTISE CALL: 516-747-8282

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

f you were to choose a middle name for Shooter Jennings, it just might be unconventional. What else do you call the offspring of late honky-tonk legend Waylon Jennings and his country chanteuse spouse Jessi Colter? While he got his start in the early 2000s as part of Stargunn, a rock band that recorded an unreleased album, Jennings later went on to record a dystopian rock opera (2010’s Black Ribbons), a spoken-word release tied to an interactive horror series (2014’s The Magic). He even released a tribute album to disco/synth-pop composer/producer Giorgio Moroder (2016’s Countach [For Giorgio]). So after all these off-kilter creative dalliances, what could be more counter-intuitive than going back to his roots by releasing Shooter, a platter of

hardcore country music gems? It all started on a whim when the Nashville native hooked up with producer Dave Cobb (Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell), a longtime friend Jennings had worked with on a few other projects. “It’s funny, but I had another record almost finished. I went down to [Dave Cobb’s] studio, and I hadn’t done that in a long time. Dave and I go way back, and it was kind of a reuniting of me and him and about bringing the process of doing another record together,” Jennings explained. “It just kind of fell in place. I had songs like ‘Living in a Minor Key’ and ‘Fast Horses and Good Hideouts’ that I’d had for a while. But for everything else, I kind of wrote for this record and I wanted to do something straightforward that tapped my favorite country stuff.” Clocking in at a tight 31-and-ahalf minutes, these nine songs are

Waylon Jennings circa 1972 loose and guaranteed to have you hitting the repeat button consistently. Opening with the rip-roaring shuffle “Bound Ta Git Down,” the combination of horns, wailing guitar and rollicking piano is perfect accompaniment for this semi-autobiographical earworm that ties in Jennings’ move to L.A., playing clubs, kicking it with Guns N’ Roses and Marilyn Manson and living high in the Hollywood Hills. Elsewhere, he tosses in a salute to the Lone Star State (the sing-along twangfest “Do You Love Texas?”), the requisite tear-in-yourbeer ballad (a pedal steel-kissed “Living In a Minor Key”) and the invariable tale of alcoholic excesses (the bar anthem “D.R.U.N.K.”). Arguably, the most evocative track is the ethereal “Fast Horses & Good Hideouts,” a song best described as what Ziggy Stardust might have sounded like had he made a pit stop in Nashville circa 1975, long enough to pen a tune. The title was actually from an offhand comment made by actor Randy Quaid, who deservedly received a songwriting credit. “So, Randy Quaid and I became friends after he sent me this message because he heard me talking on my

(SiriusXM) radio show. “It was a Twitter DM, and I’ve never spoken to him on the phone or met him,” Jennings said. “It’s kind of my thing with famous people. I’ve never met Stephen King or talked to him on the phone, but we did a thing where he was on my record [Black Ribbons]. Randy wrote me a thank you note and signed it, ‘Here’s to fast horses and good hideouts.’ I thought that was great. That [could be a] song [idea] and I asked him if he minded if I wrote a song around it and he was into it. He was really supportive. And I love that [Bowie] analogy, [because] I’ve really been listening to Diamond Dogs and Aladdin Sane a whole lot.” For the 39-yearold singer-songwriter, working with Cobb was a treat, given how close the two had become after being introduced by the latter’s manager back in the early 2000s. In addition to producing Jennings’ first five studio efforts, Cobb and his longtime friend also co-helmed Brandi Carlile’s current outing, the most-excellent By the Way, I Forgive You. A longtime fan of Carlile’s (“I met her backstage and felt an instant kinship with her, in addition to being a big fan of her music”), Jennings teaming up with

Cobb on By the Way wound up being a happy accident for Carlile. “We started talking and shooting the shit about 1980s movies and 1980s kids, and how somehow the 1980s kids have grown up to embrace this kind of throwback anti-generation of writing songs about things they never experienced, when we know we’re all 1980s kids and play the same video games,” Carlile said. “We were joking about that and we made kind of a fast friendship. I started thinking about the next time I made a record, I wanted to be involved with Shooter Jennings, because I want to make a record that speaks to my generation about what’s really happening in our time right now. So I kept that in the back of my mind. The two of those guys seemed like a really exciting combination of people to make my next record with. Only after I decided to do that did I find out that they’re best friends.” As someone who grew up on the road with memories of being warned, as a 6-year-old, by his pop not to venture into the back of Willie Nelson’s bus, Jennings’ inclinations not surprisingly led him down a musical path. And it was those early years with Stargunn that prepped

him for where he is today. “When I moved to L.A., it was me and two other guys and we drove cross-country and set up in a house and went through many different generations. The last thing we did, Tom Morello produced a record that never came out, and it’s still sitting around,” he said. “I learned so much from Tom Morello in those years. He was a friend, and he taught me about music production and how to get the most out of your songs. It was my college, man.” For the immediate future, Jennings will be on the road, slaking the thirst of fans yearning for authentic country music, with the occasional twist thrown in for good measure. “We’re definitely going to be touching on everything. We’ve been delving into the Black Ribbons album and some of the Giorgio stuff,” he said. “But it’s the whole new record and stuff from the first record that will be a major focus. We’re just trying to make a sound that really flows and kills it. I just can’t wait to get out there on the road and play with this band. We’re ready to slam-dunk it and put on a big show.” Visit www.longislandweekly. com to read about Shooter Jennings’ favorite honky-tonkers.

ENTERTAINMENT

Broadway Bound BY JENNIFER FAUCI

jfauci@antonmediagroup.com

The Broadway stage gets bigger and bigger every year, with new plays, musicals and productions out to thrill and awe in the run up to the Tonys. Here are some of the shows set to star on The Great White Way for 2019.

Ain’t Too Proud–The Life and Times of the Temptations This electrifying new musical about the life and times of The Temptations comes to Broadway in the spring of 2019. The show follows the group’s extraordinary journey from the streets of Detroit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. With their signature dance moves and unmistakable harmonies, they rose to the top of the charts creating an impressive 42 Top Ten Hits with 14 reaching number one. How they met, the groundbreaking heights they hit and how personal and political conflicts threatened to tear

the group apart as the United States fell into civil unrest is all a part of this thrilling story of brotherhood, family, loyalty and betrayal set to the beat of the group’s treasured hits, including “My Girl,” “Just My Imagination,” “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” and so many more. Derrick Baskin, James Harkness, Jawan M. Jackson, Jeremy Pope and Ephraim Sykes star.

Tootsie

The comedy musical Tootsie will also hit Broadway in the spring of 2019. Santino Fontana stars as Michael Dorsey/Dorothy Michaels in this story of a talented, but

difficult-to-work-with actor who will do anything to land the role of a lifetime—including adopting a new persona.

Beetlejuice

March 2019 will see the debut of Beetlejuice on Broadway. Lydia Deetz is a strange and unusual teenager who is obsessed with death. Lucky for Lydia, her new house is haunted by a recently deceased couple and a degenerate demon. When Lydia calls on this ghost to scare away her insufferable parents, Beetlejuice comes up with the perfect plan, which involves exorcism, arranged marriages and a girl scout who gets scared out of her wits. Music and lyrics by Eddie Perfect and book by Scott Brown and Anthony King.

True West

Opposites attack in Sam Shepard’s Pulitzer Prize-nominated play about two brothers with more in common than they think. Holed up in their mother’s California house, lowlife Lee (Ethan Hawke) and screenwriter Austin (Paul Dano) wrestle with big issues—and each other. Order vs. chaos. Art vs. commerce. Typewriter vs. toaster...Shepard’s rip-roaring classic returns to Broadway, gleefully detonating our misguided myths of family, identity and the American Dream.

Kiss Me, Kate!

Kiss Me, Kate! centers on a cast putting on a musical version of

192497 C

William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew and the conflict on and off-stage between Fred Graham, the show’s director, producer, and star, and the leading lady, his ex-wife Lilli Vanessi. The principal cast includes Kelli O’Hara as Kate/Lilli Vanessi; Will Chase as Fred Graham/Petruchio, Corbin Bleu as Lucentio/Bill Calhoun, Stephanie Styles as Lois Lane/Bianca, Terence Archie as Harrison Howell, Mel Johnson Jr. as Harry Trevor/ Baptista and Adrienne Walker as Hattie. Kiss Me, Kate features a book by Sam and Bella Spewack, revised by Amanda Green, and music and lyrics by Cole Porter.

Moulin Rouge

Baz Luhrmann’s revolutionary film comes to life onstage in June 2019. Remixed in a new musical mash-up extravaganza, Moulin Rouge is a theatrical celebration of truth, beauty, freedom and—above all—love. Karen Olivo (Satine), Aaron Tveit (Christian), Danny Burstein (Harold Zidler), Sahr Ngaujah (ToulouseLautrec), Tam Mutu (The Duke) and Ricky Rojas (Santiago) star in the principal cast.

Tina

It seems every Hollywood diva and dynamo is getting her own musical these days. Following in the footsteps of Gloria Estefan (On Your Feet!), Donna Summer: The Musical and Cher comes Tina, the biomusical about pop icon Tina Turner. The musical is set for fall 2019.

The Gilded Age saw the Vanderbilt family rise to prominence in the shipping and railroad industry, William K. Vanderbilt continuing for decades and cementing their place in Long Island’s history. In the summer of 1910, American heir, businessman, philanthropist and horsebreeder William Kissam Vanderbilt II purchased 20 acres on a wooded hill above Northport Bay. There, he commissioned the

Today, wings of the mansion house galleries of his natural-history and cultural-artifact collections including dioramas created by artisans from the American Museum of Natural History. Understanding the potential for his estate to become an educational museum “for the enjoyment of the general public,” Vanderbilt established a trust fund to finance the operation of the museum and deeded it to Suffolk County upon his death in 1944. The county opened the museum to the public in 1950. A trip to the Vanderbilt Museum will be an educational one for sure,

Vanderbilt, of the famous Vanderbilt family, managed his family’s railroad investments. He also had a passion for travel and was a lover of oceans and the natural world. During his globetrotting sea travels, Vanderbilt collected fish and other marine life, birds, invertebrates and cultural artifacts for the personal museum he planned to build on his Long Island estate, calling it the Hall of Fishes, which encompassed one of the world’s most extensive, privately assembled collections from the pre-atomic era— totaling more than 30,000 objects .

2018 Year In Review Letter from the

Publisher

Being a newspaper publisher means that I have a front-row seat for all the news that breaks in the communities we cover. As we near the end of 2018, there is plenty to look back on. Going into 2019, we’ll be witnessing County Executive Laura Curran continue to effect change while we see the results of the midterm elections put to work. On a national level, we were there with students as they walked out in response to school gun violence. Our team of editors have really outdone themselves this year, getting the opportunity to share with our readers exclusive interviews with celebrities, musicians, actors and Broadway stars. We have also highlighted some of the best eateries on Long Island, shining a light into the little-known spaces and places that make Long Island a true melting pot. One of my passions is the charitable work that so many organizations do in helping the less fortunate. Among the notable efforts of 2018 was Northwell Health and the Americana Manhasset raising more than $900,000 for women’s health at the 26th annual Katz Institute for Women’s Health Luncheon and Fashion Show. It was also my distinct honor and

And, as president of the Nassau County Museum of Art, I took particular pride in attending several exhibitions this year including “Anything Goes: The Jazz Age” and “Wild Kingdom: 100 Years of Animal Art,” while the museum’s education department continues to expand its arts education programs to the people of Long Island. I am also thrilled and very proud to announce that our arts and entertainment publication, Long Island Weekly, has become fully immersed in the digital age with an e-edition.

The Great Ate Of 2018 This year’s top dining moments on Long Island BY STEVE MOSCO smosco@antonmediagroup.com

ith everything from five-star establishments helmed by celebrity chefs to tiny eateries passionately run by a local cook, eating on Long Island is a multi-course network of every flavor imaginable. Each year, new restaurants open, while some favorites close. In celebration of those that remain, here are the most memorable meals, restaurants and overall dining experiences of the last year. Early in 2018, I took on the monumental challenge of finding the best fast-casual burger in

Nassau County. For this seasoned eater, the clear winner was Burger Bite (616 Hempstead Tpke., West Hempstead). The patties are juicer than most and perfectly seasoned, and unlike most other fast-casual joints, they ask how you want your burger cooked. Leaving the Island for an afternoon with the national pastime, eating at Yankee Stadium beats out Citi Field’s food fun by the slimmest of margins. Just some of the ballpark’s 2018 eats included bacon cheeseburger crispy dumplings, pulled chicken bao buns, rotisserie chickens, charbroiled flatiron steaks, barbecue pork sandwiches and truly monstrous

Bucket List

Grand Slam Shakes. Liberty Links (154 Atlantic Ave., Freeport) changes the conversation from burgers to tubular meats made from scratch, offering a fast food approach to butchery with freshly made ingredients—all built on a solid foundation of tradition, freedom and sausage. The links created run the gamut of sausages from around the world, including bratwurst with pork and veal, knockwurst with smoked German

beef, cheese and parsley chicken with aged provolone, chorizo with smoked pork, hot and sweet Italian and lamb merguez with red wine, rosemary and cumin. I found my way to Bucket List (201 Sunrise Hwy., Rockville Centre) over this past summer. Specializing in what the proprietors call “Northern Fried Chicken,” Bucket List’s menu reads

The Great Ate Of 2018 Cont’d from page 6A

like scrawled notes following an unabashed foodie’s fever dream. Topping that list is fried chicken. The poultry is dredged in a mix of spices, then fried until golden. For a decidedly more high-end night out, chef David Burke, who has helmed some of New York City’s top restaurants over the span of his 35-year career, joined the team at the Garden City Hotel with Red Salt Room (45 7th St., Garden City). Burke’s seasonal—and flavorful—culinary style is evident across his menu. The chef’s salt brick cuts of beef top the list, with porterhouse, bone-in ribeye, sirloin and filet mignon. Then there’s Burke’s slow-roasted chicken, with the chef’s butchering expertise positioning the dark meat on top of the white, giving the bird a chance to baste itself—assuring the white meat stays juicy. Back to the working-class approach to food, Sempre Fame (374 Tulip Ave., Floral Park) is an unassuming storefront that houses the best of all that is smoked,

sauced and kissed by a flame this side of the Mason Dixon Line. The friendly and inviting restaurant’s menu is a confluence of barbecue styles, with Texas, the Carolinas, St. Louis and every regional favorite in between given a home under Sempre Fame’s roof. And bringing it all together is the old-world influence of the Cavallo’s Italian heritage—particularly true with the Pyro Pork sandwich, which loads pulled pork, bacon and mozzarella on Texas toast with the game-changing cherry pepper sauce, a proprietary concoction that brings just enough heat to the sweet bite of the pulled pork. One of the newer restaurants visited this year is the authentic Szechuan restaurant Cheng Du (947-949 Hempstead Tpke., Franklin Square), with a menu that gathers selections from the Sichuan Province, while also reaching into other regions for tastes from Taiwan, Japan and Americanized Chinese food. A major standout on the Chengdustyle menu is the cumin flavor

Yankee Stadium section, particularly the cumin-crusted beef stir fry with bell peppers, dry peppers, long hot peppers and onions. The mouth goes numb, the brow begins to sweat and before you know it, you’ve completely devoured every morsel on the dish. And it’s not just the spiciness of the dish. The texture is exquisitely pleasing, as the cumin crust alters the structure of the meat and the peppers and onions maintain a satisfying crunch. DJ’s Clam Shack (3255 Sunrise Hwy., Wantagh) slings lobster rolls, fried clams, crab cakes, fish

tacos and much more. One of the top offerings at DJ’s—the lobster roll—can be ordered one of two ways: the cold, mayo-based New England style, and the warm, butter-forward, Connecticut-style. Using the knuckle and claw in the roll is an ingenious maneuver, as that meat far surpasses the highly regarded tail portion in tenderness, but also in sweetness and overall flavor. In a year full of memorable meals, the aforementioned dishes serve as a fine primer for anyone looking to devour 2019 from the moment the calendar flips. Burger Bite

A YEAR IN REVIEW

A Year On Broadway BY JENNIFER FAUCI jfauci@antonmediagroup.com

018 was a strong year for Broadway. Every musical, play and revival was different from the last and deserving of accolades. Long Island Weekly strives to review the most promising shows on Broadway to give our readers a taste of what to expect when they themselves head over to the Great White Way. One such show was Harry Potter and The Cursed Child, which came over from London to rave reviews and ticket sales that began almost a full year and a half in advance. We reviewed the spectacle of a play with effects and dialogue that can only be matched by series creator J.K. Rowling herself and chatted with Poppy Miller who plays Ginny Weasley Potter. Harry Potter took home six awards, including Best Play.

Another popular film made the jump to Broadway in the form of Frozen, a musical with music and lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, and book by Jennifer Lee, based on the 2013 film of the same name. Nominated for Best Musical, Frozen tells the tale of princess sisters Elsa and Anna, the former of whom has magical powers to freeze objects and people, which she does not know how to control. After inheriting the throne, the now Queen Elsa flees, inadvertently causing the kingdom to become frozen in an eternal winter, and nearly kills her sister. She must sacrifice and show true love to save the day, a lesson we all can learn from these days. We also interviewed the leads of two iconic musicals, Phantom of the Opera (1988) and Wicked (2003), both of which celebrated milestone anniversaries this year. For 30 years, audiences have

delighted in the story of beautiful soprano, Christine Daaé, who becomes the obsession of a mysterious, disfigured musical genius living in the subterranean labyrinth beneath the Paris Opéra House. Speaking to themes of acceptance, self-worth, inner strength and beauty from the inside out, Wicked has spent 15 years defying gravity and changing lives for good. Regaling the story of pre-Wizard of Oz, audiences discover the unique friendship that exists between Elphaba and Glinda and how we should never judge a book by its cover. This year, comedic powerhouse Tina Fey brought her cult-classic Mean Girls to the Broadway stage. Capturing the irreverent humor of the film, the new musical addresses bullying, high school power struggles and the importance of wearing pink on Wednesdays. The popular show earned 12 Tony nominations.

Once On This Island

Once On This Island introduced us to captivating newcomer Hailey Kilgore and a new take on a familiar fairy tale. The Tony-winning revival enchants audiences with a love story between an orphaned girl and an upper-class boy on a fictitious island in the Caribbean. Alex Newell, Merle Dandridge and Lea Salonga also shine in their roles as gods of the island. We look forward to what the Playbills of 2019 have in store for us on Broadway.

Community Efforts And Charitable Endeavors BY STEVE MOSCO

smosco@antonmediagroup,com

hilanthropy has always been of the utmost importance to Anton Media Group, particularly to its publisher, Angela Susan Anton. The past year saw those efforts continue, with the prolific publisher working to give back to the community in multiple ways, while also attending many artists’ events and publicizing the fundraising efforts of many different important organizations. North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center, the preeminent nonprofit children’s mental health agency on Long Island, recently raised more than $68,000 to support the mission to restore and strengthen the emotional well-being of children and their families at its annual spring luncheon. The event, which took place at

Glen Head Country Club, began with exciting games of Mahjong, Canasta and Bridge, along with unique shopping boutiques from some of Long Island’s trendiest and most charitable small business owners, including Dale’s Novelty Knits, Dash, Designs That Donate, iThrive, Kostume Klassics, Museum Coffee House and RFC Fine Jewelry, among others. Later in spring, Belmont Child Care Association hosted its third annual Spring Fling Hat Luncheon and Fashion Show at The Garden City Hotel on May 31. The gala event, attended by 265 guests, raised funds to contribute to the care and education of the sons and daughters of New York thoroughbred racing backstretch workers, who would not otherwise have the means for trusted and quality child care.

Hicksville

In line with Hicksville’s ongoing downtown revitalization initiative, Seritage Growth Properties is working on finalizing their plans for the 26.3-acre property left in the wake of Sears’ closure. The company plans to construct a retail and mixed-use complex including 566 apartments, a grocery store, office space, retail stores, restaurants, a luxury movie theater and five acres of green space.

Oyster Bay

An unexpected closure of the Bayville Bridge left many residents stranded for hours in early July. The drawbridge, which is owned by Nassau County and connects Bayville to Mill Neck, experienced a malfunction in which it was stuck in the upright position for 16 hours, closing off both vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Work on the bridge is expected to be completed in 2021.

Glen Cove

In May, Glen Cove celebrated the 350th anniversary of its founding. Pictured are the members of the GC350 Committee, who organized five days’ worth of festivities, including the dedication of a Heritage Garden for the city.

Garden City

Sears will be shutting its doors at the end of the year. Liquidation sales have already begun.

In late September, the Nassau County Friends of the National Rifle Association (NRA) held their Fundraising event at The Inn at New Hyde Park. Protesters on both sides came out to voice their opinions by carrying handmade signs.

Westbury

Massapequa

Massapequa resident David Lorenzo had his home named to the National Registry of Historic Places by the U.S. Department of the Interior after discovering that it has a rich history, being one of few homes that were built to be “fireproof” by Allen and George Haight more than 100 years ago.

In March, Westbury students traveled to Washington to participate in the March for Our Lives rally sparked by the Parkland, FL, school shootings. Students also protested the district’s being shortchanged by New York State in foundation aid.

Mineola

In late October, community members came together in Mineola to remember those who were slain in the Tree of Life Congregation synagogue massacre that took place in Pittsburgh, PA.

A YEAR IN REVIEW

Moments In Nassau County There are some stories that transcend the borders of our hometown. Here’s a look back at some of the biggest news and feature stories that captivated readers from the Gold Coast the south shore and everywhere in between.

Plainview-Old Bethpage

In response to the Parkland school shooting, Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School joined much of the nation in February when they left class for 17 minutes in the National School Walkout, honoring victims of a mass shooting and learning about civic engagement, while the school district reaffirmed its safety and security measures. The ceremony was held outside of the POB-JFK front doors, where students said the Pledge of Allegiance, student leadership spoke of each life lost and 17 orange balloons were held aloft and released at the completion of the memorial service.

Levittown

Farmingdale

After many meetings and much rebuttal from the community over the course of this year, Staller Associated officially withdrew their application for The Lofts at 333 Main St. in late September. Residents were not keen on its large size and mismatch with the existing “look” of downtown. The 54-apartment unit complex would have also included a 3,200-square-foot retail space, a cultural arts center complete with a gallery and exhibition space as well as a 227-seat theater.

Great Neck

When Mersedeh Rofeim saw Great Neck Library trustee candidate Mimi Hu at a street festival, she began yelling racist remarks at her and gave her the finger.

The Division Avenue High School Student Council hosted a memorial ceremony for former student and active student council member Taranjit Parmar in May. In her honor, the student council planted a new tree in the high school’s garden, located in front of the school and to the left of the main entrance. Taranjit Parmar was a former Division Avenue High School student, part of the Class of 2016. Along with her work with the student council, Parmar was also heavily involved with the Science Olympiad team. Parmar’s life was cut short by the tragic hit-and-run incident on Nov. 9, 2017, near the intersection of Hempstead Turnpike and Gardiners Avenue.

Our sports stories of 2018

BY CHRISTOPHER BIRSNER

cbirsner@antonmediagroup.com

Anton Media Group featured some of the most prominent names in local and national sports, as well as behind-the-scenes coverage of teams and events that shaped a great year in athletics. In February, Anton Media Group talked to Long Island native and luger Matthew Mortensen prior to competing in the 2018 Winter Olympics. He told stories about him and his dad getting into luge when he was younger and how it blossomed into a successful career. The 32-year old finished his second Olympic appearance placing tenth in

doubles and fourth in team relay. He retired soon after the event, completing his career with two Olympic Winter Games, a world championship silver medal, 12 world cup medals and the highest world cup season finish by a U.S. doubles team in 14 years (2016-17). In April, Stan “The Maven” Fischler talked to us about his journey to becoming a key part of New York Islanders broadcasts for well over 40 years, serving as a reporter and analyst WHO became well respected over the years. This year, Fischler announced his retirement from all Islander home games at the age of 86 and told us he is looking to keep a steadier balance

between hockey and family. He discussed with us his memories of being the vice president of the New York Rangers fan club and working his way up to the Islanders job through interviewing players. Also in the spring, our own Steve Mosco was invited to try the countless food selections at both Citi Field and Yankee Stadium during the baseball season. Some of the food featured at Citi included Lil’ Sweet Chick’s chicken and waffles, the fried chicken sandwich at Fuku and a baked cheese Alpine Brat. As for Yankee Stadium, taquitos, bacon cheeseburger crispy dumplings and Adobo Bao, which has

Filipino-style pulled chicken thigh meat and garlic aioli, topped with crispy pork cracklins in steamed buns were on the menu. In July, Anton editor Dave Gil de Rubio went to the Islanders’ official draft party as general manager Lou Lamoriello, with the help of new head coach Barry Trotz, picked players for the organization for the first time. On hand at the party were Islanders legend Bobby Nystrom and 2013 first-round pick Ryan Pulock, who shared their thoughts on the hires by the organization and advice to the players drafted that night.

The Highlight Package Later that month, preparation for the 2019 PGA Championship began as the event’s headquarters opened up at Bethpage State Park. Tournament director Scott Reid and Nassau County Executive Laura Curran spoke at a press conference where they talked about how the PGA Championship is returning to its roots and how it will bring in money and new jobs for the county. Reid and chairman Charles Robson expanded on the work done behind the scenes after the press conference, noting how Jones Beach is open for parking and how they are preparing for bad weather, if need be. August was a busy month for our sports section. It started with an entire issue dedicated to the Great Bambino himself, Babe Ruth. Our editors touched

on everything about the baseball giant, from his personal life including his childhood and lifestyle, to his career and the records he holds today, to the books and films that documented his amazing life. We even did a feature on the Babe Ruth exhibit at the Yankee Museum, with curator Brian Richards discussing the impact Ruth has had on baseball and the Yankees as we know them today. Later in August, I went to New York Giants training camp to get an idea of what the expectations for the team were heading into the season. Coming off a 3-13 dumpster fire, the Giants hired Pat Shurmur as new head coach, and told his team that he was looking for “energy, enthusiasm, expertise and execution.” The Giants also drafted Saquon Barkley to fill a need at running back

Matt Martin at Islanders practice.

Cont’d from page 22A

and, with other free agent acquisitions, were hoping that the dark clouds of last season would fade away. I also talked to ESPN insider Adam Schefter to get some insight into the Giants decisions, saying plainly that the Giants have “an incredible trio” in Barkley, Odell Beckham Jr., and Evan Engram. So far, they have more wins this year than last, which is an improvement. Speaking of Schefter, his new book, The Man I Never Met, came out in September, and he talked to us about how his wife’s first husband, whose death left an impact on his family’s life. Joe Maio was taken from us in the 9/11 attacks, but his kindness and “perfect” personality is what drives Schefter and his wife, Sharri, to try to live their best life. Maio’s family was very welcoming of

Schefter, which helped the transition into the family much easier. The book was based off a television piece on ESPN on the 15th anniversary of 9/11. In November, Steve Mosco went to the Islanders practice facility to talk to Matt Martin, a player who had been with the Islanders for years before going to Toronto to sign with the Maple Leafs. This past offseason, he was traded back and was able to rejoin a team he knew well and loved dearly. He also talked to Mosco about the impact of Lamoriello and Trotz’s presence in the organization. He thanks the fan base for being so welcoming and discussed his work on the Matt Martin Foundation, whose

benefactors range from NYPD Widows, children in need, and Cystic Fibrosis patients. Finally, near the end of November, we sat down with Jeremy Ruckert, a rare five-star football recruit out of Long Island. His play at wide receiver, and many other positions on the Lindenhurst Bulldogs, helped earn him recruiter praise by many big schools. He talked about how colleges just started taking notice and contacted him. He decided on the Ohio State Buckeyes because he loved the coaching staff and atmosphere. He misses home, but he’s looking forward to making an impact on this blue blood school.

Trade Tensions and Your Portfolio: What You Need to Know A prominent economic story of the past year has been the growing tide of trade disputes across the globe. The U.S is at the center of it – most notably with China – which means investors are often subject to daily headlines debating possible implications for global markets and the economy. But are there reasons for investors to be concerned?

The U.S. economy picked up with the onset of World Word II and emerged as a dominant force in global trade. However, in the years that followed the war, Europe and Japan rebuilt their economies and by the 1970s emerged as trading powerhouses. This transformation in many ways set the stage for increased global trade as we know it today.

The short answer is that trade tensions are nothing new, and our country has dealt with the impacts of international negotiations many times over. Yet, as trade becomes increasingly global, it’s important for investors to understand the current environment and what may be ahead for the markets.

Trade has become increasingly global

Let’s dive into this more, starting with a quick history lesson to provide some perspective on today’s trade environment.

Trade issues are nothing new Challenges with trading partners for our nation go back to its founding. The Boston Tea Party of 1773 was a protest against taxes imposed by Britain on a number of products used by colonists. Fast forward to when the U.S. economy struggled during the Great Depression of the 1930s, and Congress imposed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff. That legislation was designed to protect American jobs, raising duties on more than 20,000 imported goods. Many of the targeted countries countered with retaliatory tariffs. As a result, trade activity dropped dramatically, contributing to global economic turmoil.

The current trade deficit shows that the U.S. economy is more dependent on imports than it is on exports. The last time the U.S. ran a trade surplus was in 1975. Since then, the trade deficit has risen significantly, peaking in 2006 at $761 billion (according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Economic Indicator Division), before dropping and remaining fairly consistent between $500 and $600 billion.

In recent decades, a driving force behind increased international trade was the belief that benefits would extend to more people across the world. Landmark treaties, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) established in 1994 between the U.S., Canada and Mexico, highlighted an extended period of open borders for the movement of goods and services. The European Union (created in 1993) represents another form of trade agreement, reducing barriers to the movement of goods.

Should you be concerned about tariffs?

Yet a common concern with many treaties is the belief that they benefit some industries while leaving people in others behind. For example, many U.S. farmers benefit from agricultural exports to other countries, and the U.S. generally has a trade surplus when it comes to services it supplies internationally. On the flip side, in the 1970s, for instance, Japan’s automobile industry rose, while U.S. car companies struggled. We’ve seen similar trends with industries such as textiles and steel.

There are other factors that bear watching. The primary concern for investors is whether tariffs will create negative economic consequences for the targeted industries, the U.S. or global economy. Recently, trade tensions have had an impact on investor sentiment, with more people becoming cautious

Fast forward to today, when we find ourselves at another crossroad with trade. Take, for example, the recent implementation of tariffs on a variety of international products. These tariffs are aimed, in part, to help domestic industries that are losing business to lower-cost goods from overseas – a similar goal of past tariffs. Whether these industries and their workers will benefit over the long run remains in question.

about the state of the global economy. In many instances, trade disputes can be a contributing factor to market volatility. This is because markets do not like the uncertainly that happens when global powers are negotiating. So, what does all this trade history mean for investors? The key takeaway is to keep an eye on trade developments and to not overreact to daily headlines. Remember that trade policies are just one of many factors likely to impact the economy and markets. Maintaining a diversified portfolio that is reflective of the level of risk you are willing to accept to reach your own financial goals is one of the best defenses against all types of market uncertainty.

In October, the Safe Center LI, an advocate for survivors of abuse and neglect, held its annual gala and largest fundraising event of the year, honoring the people who have dutifully supported the center’s mission—to help people throughout the community to find a safe place. Honorees at the Every Home A Safe Home gala included Anton Media Group Publisher Angela Susan Anton, community activist and board member Lillian McCormick and board member and plastic surgeon Dr. Andrew Jacono. According to the center’s executive director Cynthia Scott, each honoree was lauded for individual selfless contributions to the center’s cause. And finally, the ninth annual Children in Bloom Luncheon, “Blue Skies,” took place in October at Old Westbury Gardens in support of environmental education. Mike Keenan, the regional vice president of Wells Fargo was the honoree and Linsey David, a correspondent for ABC News, was the guest speaker. Over the past eight years, the Children in Bloom Luncheon has raised more than $225,000 for Old Westbury Gardens, which is committed to children’s education, welcoming more than 3,000 low-income

WE LOVE OUR PETS

Spoil Your Pet With These Holiday Gifts BY ANDREA BILTON

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

ne of the most rewarding parts of every holiday season is surprising friends and family members with thoughtful gifts to remind them that they are loved and appreciated. And who’s more deserving of a holiday surprise than the furry family members who shower us with unconditional love and sloppy kisses all year round? That’s right, our pets deserve to be spoiled too, and there are plenty of creative ways to make your pet feel celebrated this season from matching accessories to tasty treats. Look no further to find some great holiday gifts to stuff your pet’s stocking with this year

Holiday Pajamas

We all look forward to curling up by the fire in our new holiday jammies—maybe your family even gifts matching pajama sets to each other every year as a tradition. But when you’re buying PJs this holiday season, don’t forget to pick up a pair for your furry friend. You can find adorable patterns, like a checkered polar bear print, at pet stores and department stores everywhere. This set, which can be

worn by both dogs and cats, is sold at Target. $9.99, Target

................ Holiday Treats

The holiday season wouldn’t be complete without all of our favorite home-cooked dishes and desserts. Why not give your pets a break from the same old kibble and cat food? There are plenty of limited edition treats available at your local pet store to surprise the family pet after Christmas dinner, or to use as tasty stocking stuffers. Try the Lazy Dog Cookie Co. $7.99 and up or Frost Bites Holiday Pup-PIE Dog Treat for $7.99, both at www.chewy.com or Target’s Turkey and Sweet Potato Flavored cat treats for $7.49.

................ Friendship Collar

Publicly display your love for the family dog year-round with this set of matching “friendship collars” from www. friendshipcollar.com.

Your pet gets a new collar, you get a new bracelet, and you both get an opportunity to make quite the fashion statement no matter where your afternoon walk takes you. You can pick out a cute holiday-themed set, or browse the variety of colors and patterns available on their site. And the best part? With every sale, Friendship Collar makes a food donation to one of many animal shelters nationwide. $35, www. chewy.com

................ iFetch Ball Launcher

The first few tosses are easy, but after a while playing fetch starts to take a toll on your arm while eating up a chunk of your busy day. If you’re looking for an easy way to ensure your canine companion gets the exercise and playtime he needs, iFetch might be the perfect holiday gift. Once plugged in, this automatic ball launcher will send mini tennis balls flying 10-30 feet in the air, keeping your puppy active and occupied while you’re busy cleaning up the post-holiday party clutter. $95.99, www.chewy.com

................

Got a hamster to spoil this season? Consider leaving this Critter Cruiser under the tree. Not only will your hamster enjoy getting some exercise outside of his cage, but the kids will get a kick out of seeing their tiny pet “drive” the fun-sized car all over the house. You can entertain everyone in the family all at once with this adorable gift! You can find the automobile-shaped exercise wheel at Petco. $14.99, Petco

It’s no secret that cats love sunny spots and precarious perches. If your cat is always teetering on

ANTON’S 2018 YEAR IN REVIEW • DECEMBER 19, 2018 - JANUARY 1, 2019 | 35A

WORD FIND

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The intensity of certain past moments stuck with you, changed you for the better, and taught you that you’re more than capable of handling whatever shows up. So while you’re not actively seeking challenges this week, you won’t shrink from anything that stands in the way of your taking care of business. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Once upon a time you were on a journey, you hit a hurdle, and eventually you gave up on the route. Now it’s hard to remember what you originally wanted. It’s time to revisit. It will improve your mood and bring you excellent fortune to get back on the problem. Pump yourself up. You really can figure this one out. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Relationships are not an endurance contest. If a dynamic is causing you to suffer, handle it right away. With better communication and a willingness to make some changes, chances are you can fix things fast. Life goes so much more smoothly when you can trust that the people around you are your allies.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Your efforts to be a better communicator, honed through training or mentorship, will net astounding results. Other blessings of the solar journey ahead include, but are not limited to: a friendship that adds value, laughter, and brightness to your life (as well as a lesson or two), a generous donation you’ve always wanted to make becomes possible (how good it feels!), and the fine details of a business arrangement work in your favor, causing happiness when you visit the bank.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). When life is going reasonably well, it’s easy enough to stay on the sunny side. There will also be days when being happy takes work. Find ways to inspire and encourage yourself. Cut out the channels of negativity such as downer news and people, and actively feed yourself the sort of thoughts that will energize you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Many aren’t aware enough to identify their own unhelpful thinking patterns. Your ability to recognize when this is going on bodes very well for your ultimate success. And though it may be harder to train your own mind than it would be to train a wildcat, every circus you’ve ever seen proves it’s achievable. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Maybe the overall circumstance isn’t ideal, but if you’re being honest about it, and fair to yourself, there’s an area of life that you feel really good about. Your experience of it is matching up to or surpassing your expectation. Celebrate this win. The contentment you feel will spread to other areas of your life. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Getting close to someone is a kind of emotional dance in which you figure out the appropriate distance to keep that will allow you both comfort and freedom. You’ll learn in which ways to connect, how much to lean on one another and where you must remain strong, each on your own. This education will be a pleasure. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There will be moments this week when you’ll feel like you’ve lost yourself, but that’s not true. You’re not one way, one thing, one type. There are many versions of “you” you’ll be trying out over the course of the week. You’re always growing, giving and changing. So get into the action that feels right, and don’t overthink it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Just when you think you know who you love and who loves you, the picture changes, opens out with your ever-expanding heart. And the tight group of supporters will become bigger and freer as the season progresses. This might feel strange and new, but you can trust the process nonetheless.

Out Birdsville way

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are the values we think we have, and then there are the values by which we actually live. In your case, these two things usually match up well. And when they don’t, it creates an uncomfortable cognitive dissonance followed by an inner drive to reflect and then to take action to rectify the discrepancy. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are being influenced by a barrage of messages coming from all sides. Well it’s not something you usually worry about, but this week you could make some changes in favor of having greater control over what gets into your world. Peace and tranquility could be yours for the taking. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s not one particular approach to life that’s correct. Everyone does it differently. Furthermore, you’ll do it differently depending on the day. So try not to judge every little action or method. Let things be how they are without feeling like you need to make it better, prettier or more correct. Practice acceptance.

Christmas at the Vanderbilt Museum

especially for those who are avid nature enthusiasts like Vanderbilt himself. The philanthropists oceanic expeditions and circumnavigations have made it possible for visitors to journey around the planet without leaving Long Island. Included in the exhibits are items and artifacts from the Galápagos Islands, Asia, the Mediterranean, Africa, the Atlantic and Caribbean. Inside the habitat, you will find stunning dioramas that depict animal life from several continents— the centerpiece is a 32-foot whale shark, the world’s largest taxidermied fish, caught off Fire Island in 1935. The Stoll Wing and its wild-animal dioramas complement the habitat while the Hall of Fishes marine museum displays hundreds of oceanic specimens. Moving over to the Memorial Wing galleries exhibit is where one can find ethnographic objects, which showcase the artisanal talents of Asian, African and Pacific cultures in the

forms of clothing, utensils, weapons and ceremonial artifacts. In addition to the sprawling mansion, the museum grounds also feature a curator’s cottage, a seaplane hangar and boathouse, antique household furnishings, rare decorative and fine art, the archives and photographic record of Vanderbilt’s circumnavigations of the globe, and published books of his travels. So make a day of it with family and friends and learn a bit more about Long Island’s storied history and the Vanderbilt family, right in your own backyard. Upcoming events include a Twilight Tour of the mansion (Dec. 27-28) and One World, One Sky: Big Bird’s Adventure; Solar System Odyssey and Incoming! Asteroids, Comets and the hard hitting stories of our cosmic origins at the Planetarium. The Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum is located at 180 Little Neck Rd., Centerport.

Roast duck is a great choice for the holidays, as is a classic leg of lamb (below).

Merry Meats It’s the most bountiful time of the year

BY STEVE MOSCO

Smosco@antonmediagroup.com

he gathering of family members around the holiday table is akin to a pack of predators gathered around a fresh kill—there’s a constant chorus of blood, bones and satisfied groans. Whether roasted, seasoned, sliced or served whole with all the trimmings, ’tis the season for big hunks of meat. The list of roast beasts best fit for the holiday table includes classic preparations, as well as more modern interpretations of oven-bound animals—bone-in and bone-out. Topping the list of quintessential holiday meats is undoubtedly the glorious ham, which is equally desirable as a fresh ham or the honey-glazed, cured variety. Even those tin-can hams have a place at the table this time of year, with the iconic Dak Premium Ham 16-ounce ham-shaped can making a wonderful stocking-stuffer. But if your pork preference is the unadulterated

version, go with a fresh ham, which is basically roasted pork—the same cut used in cured ham, only without the cure. This version of ham is usually sold with skin on, which offers the double gift of pork cracklings to go with the juicy, roasted cut. The classic rosemary, garlic and lemon application suits this ham well, though it might be more fun to go the sticky route with a recipe featuring either a maple-mustard or a soy sauce glaze. Fresh ham tends to

go for about $3 per pound and while most butchers have fresh ham on hand, it’s best to place your order about a week ahead of your party. Lamb is another holiday regular in the roaster, with multiple cuts led to the slaughter as the celebratory roast on the holiday table. Whether it’s the leg or the more eye-pleasing crown roast, lamb tastes of the earth—with the gaminess of a beast that spends most of its time with its snout to the ground. The price-per-pound for a leg of lamb fluctuates wildly, according to local butchers, with the price currently hovering at about $6 per pound. As for the crown roast, which is lamb racks tied together end-to-end into the shape of a crown, many butchers will do the work of assembly for you. Either a leg or a rack, thyme, rosemary and even some coriander make perfect barn-mates. For those who don’t eat pork and can’t stomach lamb, beef is a beautiful, classic fall back option. London broil, which gets unwarranted flak for

Whether it’s a roast pork, cured ham, lamb chops, Cornish game hens or prime rib, meat will keep everyone fed and happy at the holiday table.

its perceived lack of flavor, stands up well to any preparation and can be sliced in a way that really stretches out it’s approximately $10 per-pound price tag for the sirloin cut. But this is the holidays—the time of year when meat is more than food, it’s an event. With this in mind, order a bone-in standing prime rib roast—an expensive cut at about $20 per pound from a butcher, gifting this cut to your host will send all the right meat messages. For a fancier preparation, try your hand at mastering beef Wellington, which sees a beef tenderloin

coated with pâté and duxelles—a finely chopped mix of mushrooms and herbs—before it’s wrapped in puff pastry. The planet’s plethora of birds also swoop in for the holiday meal. The classic roast chicken—basically the mini version of that Thanksgiving turkey you’re still having nightmares about overcooking—flocks together perfectly with all of the traditional holiday herbs, including rosemary, sage and thyme. And an even tinier bird is the downright adorable cornish game hen. These itty-bitty birds are obviously tender

and, if you can believe, have an even more reserved flavor than full-sized chickens. And when it comes to plating, few meals are as instantly eye-catching as each guests’ own personal bird. And finally, when chicken gets boring and turkey’s been done, go for the dark and fatty option with a whole roasted duck. At about $2 or $3 per pound, these water fowls can be specially ordered from a butcher or from a farm specializing in duck. There are various methods of prep with duck, including orange or blueberry, but perhaps most fitting this holiday season is the more uncommon and singular raspberry duck. With a hint of cinnamon and a tangy raspberry sauce, this particular preparation is powerful enough to make everyone forget that you neglected to bring any gifts other than various cuts of meat. Christmastime is very much a meat-forward holiday. And that’s a good thing—something has to soak up all that eggnog.

January Movie Previews

A Dog’s Way Home

BY CHERYL WADSWORTH Editorial@antonmediagroup.com

he New Year will soon be here and as we are writing down our resolutions to lose weight, eat healthier and exercise, stop smoking, stop drinking, decrease the shopping and spending and all our other annoying vices, consider making a resolution that’s a cinch to keep—see a new movie. The new year also gives way to awards season, with the Golden Globes and Oscars only a few weeks away, everyone wonders what films will be contenders. So as you head to the gym, do some premature spring cleaning of your wardrobe and begin to return to a normal life post-holidays, relax with a movie or two. The following are just a few to look forward to in January 2019.

Escape Room (PG-13) On Jan. 4, Escape Room scares its way into theaters. Directed by Adam Robitel, the film stars Deborah Ann Woll, Tyler Labine and Taylor Russell. While watching, you will definitely be second-guessing the popular escape rooms you and your friends enjoy going to.

Escape Room

The movie follows six strangers who seemingly were randomly selected to participate in one such room, however, they soon realize that this is no mere coincidence and they must join forces if they want to survive. Escape Room is a good start to get your heart pumping in the New Year if you like a good scare or two.

The Upside

A Dog’s Way Home (PG) Jan. 11 sees A Dog’s Way Home hit theaters, directed by Charles Martin Smith and starring Bryce Dallas Howard, Ashley Judd, Barry Watson and Alexandra Shipp. This family adventure movie will warm the hearts of everyone as we follow an adorable dog who travels more than 400 miles to be reunited

with her owner. A must see for all ages.

The Upside (PG-13)

Also on Jan. 11, The Upside directed by Neil Burger and starring Nicole Kidman, Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart debuts. Cranston portrays a wealthy quadriplegic man who takes a chance by hiring an unemployed former criminal to help him with

daily life. Hart plays this role brilliantly and demonstrates that he can do more than just get a few laughs. A funny and heartwarming story.

Glass (PG-13) On Jan. 18, Glass comes to theaters. Written, co-produced and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, it stars Bruce Willis, Anya Taylor-Joy, James McAvoy and Samuel L. Jackson. This thriller will have you on the edge of your seat as you want to look away but just can’t. It follows the conclusion of the movie Split (2016), which also starred McAvoy as a disturbed individual with more than two dozen personalities. Bruce Willis reprises his role in Unbreakable (2000) and along with Jackson’s character of Glass, these three hold secrets that are critical to all of these men’s past and future. Buckle up for a wild ride.

Serenity (R) Jan. 25 sees the debut of Serenity, which is anything but serene. Directed and written by Steven Knight, the film stars Diane Lane, Anne Hathaway, Matthew McConaughey and Jason Clarke. This thriller uncovers the

shadowy past of a fishing boat captain when his ex-wife pays him an unexpected visit with a frantic plea

for help in eliminating her current husband. Just when you think you have it all figured out, you will shake

your head in disbelief. So grab some popcorn, a soda and enjoy your movie.

What’s On

YouTube: Part II

Binging With Babish recreatues Buddy the Elf’s favorite breakfast.

BY STEVE MOSCO

smosco@antonmediagroup.com

ith an impossible amount of programs uploaded everyday, limiting a “What’s on YouTube” article to a one-off phenomenon is foolish. With that in mind, here are four more YouTube shows/channels worth subscribing to and viewing on a regular basis. Binging With Babish Combining the host’s love of food and film, Binging With Babish was conceived by filmmaker Andrew Rea and depicts the home cook recreating delectable—and occasionally disgusting—foods from various works of fiction. As of this month, the channel has 3.5 million subscribers and 378 million total views, with videos featuring Rea’s take on dishes like The Moistmaker and Rachel’s English Trifle from Friends, Dessert Breakfast Pasta from Elf and entire episodes dedicated to foods from Seinfeld, It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Game of Thrones and much more. With videos shot from the neck down and including Rea’s soothing voiceover, each episode reverse-engineers these recipes to examine exactly how fictional foods would be concocted if in fact TV and film existed in the real world. Occasionally, after faithfully recreating some of the stranger—and more horrible—dishes, Rea will include his own, more palatable interpretation. Hot Ones The celebrity-interview formatted show has grown staid and boring. Late night talk shows all ask the same questions, with their interview subjects barely breaking a sweat. That all changed when Hot Ones premiered on the online food-culture magazine and YouTube channel First We Feast in 2015. The basic premise involves celebrities from film, TV, music, sports and the Internet being interviewed by host Sean Evans over platters of increasingly spicy chicken wings, slathered in some of the most notorious hot sauces on the market. The show is currently in its seventh season and during its run, it has featured the likes of Jeff Goldblum, Charlize Theron, Michael B. Jordan

and Blake Griffin facing off, not only against the spicy wings of death, but also Evans’ adept interviewing skills. And the host isn’t sitting comfortably on the sidelines, instead, Evans partakes in an identical platter of mouth and butt-burning wings. It is, indeed, the future of interview shows happening right now on YouTube. Honest Trailers Created in 2012 by Screen Junkies, Honest Trailers consists of parody movie trailers that seek to tell the terrible truth of the movies they portray, featuring the all-important “deep voice narration guy.” The series boasts more than 300 million views on the Screen Junkies channel and is written by what is basically a collection of sarcastic comedians who gleefully make fun of the hard work of filmmakers—and it is absolutely beautiful. One of the most popular Honest Trailers, the one produced for the horrible, awful, so-bad-it’s-hilarious superhero misfire, 1997’s Batman & Robin, starts, “In a world full of crime, one man is determined to kill Batman once and for all. His name, is director Joel Schumacher.” It is one of the more deserved digs and spells out perfectly why Honest Trailers is one of the more crucial comedic commentaries on the Internet. PBS Eons With PBS Eons, the fine folks at the Public Broadcasting Service want everyone to know that yes, it is OK to be well-informed about the deep history of our planet. With hosts Hank Green, Kallie Moore and Blake de Pastino, Eons is a journey through the history of life on Earth. From the dawn of life in the Archaean Eon through the Mesozoic Era—the Age of Dinosaurs—right up to the end of the most recent Ice Age, Eons deliveries amazing facts and eye-popping stats

Honest Trailers dismantles movies from every genre.

Actress Gabrielle Union suffers the consequences of an appearance on Hot Ones with host Sean Evans.

PBS Eons expands on an array of topics. with engaging commentary from the hosts, all of whom are well-regarded individuals in the world of science writing and paleontology. Series topics include “What Color Were

Dinosaurs (And How Do We Know)?,” “The Story of Saber Teeth,” “The Biggest Thing That Ever Flew” and “Why Triassic Animals Were Just The Weirdest.”

Bowling In The Bronx

BY CHRISTOPHER BIRSNER cbirsner@antonmediagroup.com

ollege football’s bowl season is upon us, as 39 bowl games across the United States (and the Bahamas) will host 78 of the best teams in the sport. Very few of these big games are played in the north due to the cold weather, but that didn’t matter to Mark Holtzman and the New York Yankees when they pitched the Pinstripe Bowl nearly a decade ago. “I think we’ve proven to everyone that college football in New York around the holidays can work,” said Holtzman. “New York is a very special time around the holidays. We got a lot of tourists here and the players on both teams have enjoyed playing here. A lot of the kids from these have never been to New York City before.” The idea for the Pinstripe Bowl was not just to expand the amount of events Yankee Stadium hosts each year, but also pay tribute to George Steinbrenner. The late Yankee owner was not only a big college football fan but had a history of being an assistant football coach at big universities such as Ohio State, Northwestern and Purdue. Holtzman, who joined the Yankees as executive director of non-baseball events when the new Yankee Stadium first opened up, has been working to make Steinbrenner’s vision a reality. “He specifically wanted a footprint of this stadium to be able to accommodate football,” said Holtzman. “I don’t think he ever dreamt that we would gain such traction so quickly but once we set the tone, it set us up to bring in some great college football and create the Pinstripe Bowl.” After a presentation in front of the NCAA board, the yearly Bronx game was born and announced as the “Yankee Bowl” in September of 2009. It was then renamed to the Pinstripe Bowl in the spring of 2010 with the title sponsor being New Era, a headwear company that has since become the official company of multiple major sports leagues. The bowl would be played in late December and the winning team would win the George M. Steinbrenner trophy.

“We never said die,” said Holtzman. “We got some conferences that believed in us in the Big East and Big 12. We got a television partner that believes in us in ESPN. And we had a title sponsor that believed in us in New Era. We couldn’t have a better partner because the family behind the business has been friends with the Steinbrenner family going way back.” The first game pitted the Big East’s Syracuse against the Big 12’s Kansas State, with Syracuse squeaking out a win in a 36-34 thriller. Since then, the game has continued to grow and evolve. After the Big East’s implosion in 2013, the Pinstripe Bowl shifted its focus on getting better teams from elite conferences. The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) and the Big Ten became the official affiliates in 2014. “We really wanted to bring a higher pick into these games,” said Holtzman. “He just made more sense to go with those conferences. Two of the largest established conference. These commissioner’s are committed to this bowl.” The selection process for the team’s that participate is different between the conferences. For the Big Ten, the Pinstripe Bowl is given a number and the team that correlates with that number based off their success goes to New York. As for the ACC, the bowl is part of a tier of bowls ranked by the ACC. They work with other bowls in that tier to decide which team works best for them. This year’s game may be its biggest

It’s also a rematch of last year’s Orange Bowl, which Wisconsin took 34-24. “We’re fortunate here in New York because a lot of these big schools have a tremendous amount of alumni in this marketplace,” said Holtzman. “It’s extremely saturated. Other bowls don’t quite have that advantage.” Leading up to the event, athletes from both teams will participate in New York-based events such as ringing the bell at the New York Stock Exchange, visiting the 9/11 Memorial Museum, and seeing a show at Radio City Music Hall. There’s a huge charitable component of the game as well,

with athletes visiting the kids pediatric unit at Memorial Sloan Kettering in the city and holding a chalk talk at Yankees Stadium for local youth. All of this will lead into the Pinstripe Bowl on Dec. 27, set to kick off at 5:15 p.m. “If you want to see top college football teams in a great venue to watch sports, this is where you want to go,” said Holtzman. “How many times during the year do you have two top football brands playing against each other in the New York metropolitan area? It’s been a rough year for professional football in New York. College football brings a great atmosphere, especially in bowl games. What better way to celebrate Christmas and New Year’s then coming to this game?” For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www.pinstripebowl. com.
