Contemporary Comedy Lilli Cooper reinvents classic film role on stage in Tootsie the musical BY KIMBERLY DIJKSTRA KDIJKSTRA@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
S
ydney Pollack’s ’80s classic Tootsie has been revamped for Broadway and in many ways outshines the original. It’s not just a musical comedy, it’s a “comedy musical” according to the marquee, critics and audiences. Adapted by David Yazbek (The Band’s Visit) and Robert Horn (13), Tootsie stars Tonywinner Santino Fontana (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) in the title role first claimed by Dustin Hoffman and Tony-nominated Lilli Cooper as successful working actress Julie Nichols. The role played by Jessica Lange on film has been completely reimagined. Between readings, workshops and the out-of-town production in Chicago last year, Cooper and the creative team worked on the Julie character to ground her in reality and make viewers care about her. “I think I had a lot to do with the development of the role because the creative team was really open to talking about Julie’s journey in the show,” Cooper said. “I worked pretty one-on-one with Robert Horn, our book writer, to fully flesh her out.” Cooper loves her character and relates to her on several levels. “We are both really passionate about our craft and our career, and she is a strong independent
woman who supports herself and makes her opinion known,” Cooper said. “I also think she’s sort of a goofy theater nerd at heart.” The musical is populated with relatable characters in the theater world. Fontana’s self-destructive Michael Dorsey is so desperate to land a role, he
dresses as a woman named Dorothy Michaels to fool a director into hiring him. Sandy (Sarah Stiles), Michael’s neurotic ex and aspiring actress, is also her own worst enemy. In the vein of Company’s “Not Getting Married Today,” Sandy’s “What’s Gonna Happen” patter song lays out all the reasons she will fail at her next audition. Jeff (Andy Grotelueschen), Michael’s sardonic playwright roommate who’s dragged on the wild ride that Michael’s deception creates, gets the opportunity to deliver the best musical ‘I told you so’ ever written, in his gleeful, gloating rendition of “Jeff Sums It Up.” Cooper enjoys the meta aspect of the show that lets the actors poke fun at themselves, while showing the audience the crazy backstage life of actors. “I sing a song in Act 1 that’s really all about the sacrifices that we make to do what we do and it feels so honest because it’s really true to the lifestyle of an actor,” Cooper said about her favorite song of the show, “There Was John.” David Yazbek, who has scored several successful screen-to-stage adaptations, infused Tootsie with a variety of genres and tunes specific to each character. Cooper’s “Gone, Gone, Gone” in Act 2 has rhythm and funk and stands apart from a typical Broadway show tune.

TOOTSIE from page 3A “He [Yazbek] wanted it to sound like it could be a single on somebody’s pop album,” Cooper said. “The way that he orchestrated it and the way that we worked together figuring out how to navigate singing that song, it felt a lot like that.” The show overall is an homage to old-school musical theater, starting with an overture and entr’acte, which have fallen out of fashion of late. “We are a big, brassy musical and David Yazbek was really excited to push into that quality of the show,” Cooper said. “We don’t see [overtures] very often anymore and it gets to hint at what the musical stylings are going to be, how big the orchestra is and how grand the scale of the show is, so it’s a perfect introduction.” The costumes too, by William Ivey, hearken back to a vintage glam, from Dorothy’s signature red sequin gown to charming full-skirted numbers straight out of a ’50s Fellini film. “They’re gorgeous. They’re stunning. I’ve never felt so flattering in something,” Cooper said about the costumes. Flattering is the only way to describe the costumes for Dorothy as well. Ivey went for wide necklines and

cinched waists, drawing inspiration from unlikely places such as Meghan Markle’s rehearsal dinner dress. The final transformation from Fontana to Dorothy was nothing short of magical for the cast, despite seeing all the steps in between.

“We saw it unfurl slowly in the rehearsal process because there would be days where he wore heels, but he was also wearing a baseball cap,” Cooper explained. “There would be days when he added a skirt, but he was in his sneakers, and there would be days when he would put lipstick on.” Cooper recalls a conversation with the writers in which they place the exact moment they knew they were onto something special with Tootsie. “They’d been working on the show for years and…when Dorothy walks out into that audition for the first time and when we first had an audience, they erupted into applause and they knew in that moment the show was going to work,” Cooper said. “It’s because of that transformation.” The transformation of Michael’s personality to Dorothy’s is equally fascinating. Like the film, Michael is narcissistic and arrogant, but unlike the film he’s not saving his female costars or teaching them anything about femininity. If anyone is learning any lessons, it’s Michael. “He learns a lot from pretending to be somebody he’s not, but he also learns a lot from the people around him, particularly Julie,” Cooper said. “She’s a bit of a mirror to him, but she is able to go through the world successfully and without burning bridges.” Michael is not very endearing, but Dorothy is, and wins the admiration of Julie and others he works with. “Once Dorothy walks out, she’s so incredibly likable and so easy to fall in love with, but then you realize Michael is the one who created this person,” Cooper said. “By creating this character he allows his positive, relatable
characteristics to come through so we see both sides of him.” Ultimately, the DNA of the original story remains, but it is updated for the present day from all angles. “There are a lot of tricky subjects and the movie itself is pretty problematic nowadays,” Cooper said. “We’ve taken today’s climate into account and I don’t think we would have been so successful with the show had we not.” Cooper began her Broadway career at age 16 in Spring Awakening, which she calls a “challenging time management learning experience.” She also credits those formative years with teaching her how to maintain professional relationships in the industry. Since then, she has starred in Tick, Tick… Boom!, Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 Off-Broadway, as Elphaba in Wicked, as Sandy Cheeks in SpongeBob SquarePants, in addition to several TV roles and, a few years ago, created a hilarious web series with her film school pals that was picked up by Glamour. The premise of It’s Not OK, Cupid is simple. Women read real messages received from men through dating platforms like OkCupid, Match. com and Tinder. Cooper hopes to make another episode and has plans for another web series in the future. When she’s not starring as a leading lady on Broadway or creating a web series, the talented Lilli Cooper can be found whistling across the stage at the 92nd Street Y. Tootsie picked up two Tony Awards this year—Santino Fontana for Best Actor in a Musical and Robert Horn for Best Book. Catch Tootsie at the Marquis Theatre, 210 W. 46th St., NYC.

hen it comes to native-born guitar players, Texas has quite the legacy. Dating back to the likes of T-Bone Walker and Lightnin’ Hopkins, the Lone Star State has given the world Freddie King, Albert Collins, Johnny “Guitar” Watson, Stephen Stills, Johnny Winter, Mance Lipscomb, Steve Miller (by way of Milwaukee), Billy Gibbons, the Vaughan brothers and most recently, Gary Clark Jr. While younger sibling Stevie Ray perished in a 1990 helicopter crash, Jimmie has continued soldiering on dating back to his 1994 solo debut, Strange Pleasure. In 2019, the elder Vaughan is continuing his crusade to celebrate and honor a wide swath of American roots music with the release of Baby, Please Come Home, a collection of songs honoring a number of idols including Walker, Etta James, Lefty Frizzell, Fats Domino, Lloyd Price and Jimmy Reed. When asked about the inspiration for this project, the Dallas native

found out that when I go into the studio, I like to pretend that I’m making 45s. All I have to do is find two or three songs and cut ’em. I don’t have to try to find or write 15 songs at once. It just seems to take away the massive burden of coming up with a bunch of songs all at once, which is terrible. It sort of lets the air out of the room,” he said with a laugh. Not unlike equally stellar outings he’s done, like the 2010 and 2011 one-two punch of Plays Blues, Ballads & Favorites and Plays More Blues, Ballads & Favorites, Vaughan’s distinctive punchy guitar twang is the glue holding together these songs that reverberate with a juke joint ambiance punctuated by understated horn accompaniment, the occasional female harmony and a timeless vibe. Folks heading out to catch Vaughan on the road can expect to hear plenty of this manna in a live setting. “I’m going out with the band that’s on the record. I’ve also got the horn players and all that with me. What’s not to like?” Vaughan said. “We just go out and play a little bit of everything, including the new stuff. We also do material off the record I did with the Jimmie Vaughan Trio [Live at C-Boys].” Music has always been a constant
in the Texan’s life, thanks to a background where both sides of his family featured guitar players enraptured by the likes of Merle Travis. But it was a wayward football injury suffered as a teenager that set him down his own musical path. During the three months he spent at home recovering from a broken collar bone, Vaughan fell in love with playing guitar. “I think the trauma of having the broken bones and the shock of the whole thing worked out perfectly and I’ve been playing ever since,” he explained. In the present day, Vaughan is satisfied that he’s wound up where he envisioned when he was recovering from that football injury way back when. “After a couple of days of trying to play guitar and finding it to be pretty cool, I thought I might be able to make some records, earn some money, buy a car and split,” he said with a laugh. “I’ve just been fortunate. I’ve always wanted to make records, play guitar and be a blues singer, so my dreams have come true.” Jimmie Vaughan will be appearing on July 12 at the Suffolk Theater, 118 E. Main St., Riverhead.

Take A Chill Pill
BY KIMBERLY DIJKSTRA kdijkstra@antonmediagroup.com
B
FULL RUN
ased on the cult YA novel by Ned Vizzini and inspired by campy cult film classics, Be More Chill the musical has become a cult hit of its own. The original six-week production at Two River Theater in New Jersey, has spawned an Off-Broadway run, a transition to Broadway, two cast recordings, fan art, fan fiction galore and even a podcast called “How To Be More Chill.” Something about the story persists and speaks to fans, especially young ones who identify with the insecure teen characters. Tony-nominated composer and lyricist Joe Iconis can relate. He immediately responded to the characters. “You have this leading nerd. But he was more complicated than your typical leading nerd. And you have the stoner best friend, but he had more depth and complexities than I would ever normally see the stoner best friend ever have,” said the Garden City native. “That’s what initially hooked me in.” The show revolves around ‘leading nerd’ Jeremy Heere (Will Roland), his best friend Michael (George Salazar), his crush Christine (Stephanie Hsu) and the cool kids that populate the school. Enter the Squip, a Japanese supercomputer embedded in a pill that implants in the brain and delivers customized instruction on how to, well, be more chill. Played by Jason Tam (If/Then, Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert), the Squip happens to embody the persona of Keanu Reeves, a detail from the book Iconis and writing partner Joe Tracz (The Lightning Thief) considered changing. “When we were first adapting, we thought, ‘should this not be Keanu Reeves? Is that writing us into a corner?’” Iconis said. “This was before
the John Wick movies and I feel like Keanu was kind of in a between spot in his career.” Little did they know that by 2019, Keanu would become the internet’s official boyfriend, with meme after wholesome Keanu meme filling social media channels. Needless to say, they made the right choice. “We purposely want the show to feel current, but we don’t want

to get hung up on references that tie it to a specific era,” Iconis explained. “And we sort of just lucked out with Jason Tam…He just has this really magical…Keanu-ness to him. It seems like the perfect match of actor and part.” Iconis calls the collaboration with playwright Joe Tracz the easiest collaboration he’s ever had in his life because they set ego aside and always go with what’s best for the show. “We both love to talk about stuff before we actually put pen to paper,” he said, describing countless conversations the two had about story arcs, what scenes to use and what characters were most important to include. By the time they started writing, they already had much of it mapped out, and a few moments in the show came
directly from those conversations. The team behind BMC, as cliché as it sounds, operates like a family. When Iconis finds someone he likes working with, he’ll work with them time and time again. Charlie Rosen (Prince of Broadway, 8-Bit Big Band), the music supervisor and orchestrator for BMC, also orchestrated Iconis’ Long Islandset musical The Black Suits and the upcoming Broadway Bounty Hunter, which opens July 9 at Greenwich House Theater. The collaboration between the two results in a unique sound that fits the work at hand. “On Be More Chill, sonically, I was really inspired by John Carpenter film scores of the ’80s. I was inspired by 1950s invaders from space film scores, which is where the theremin [electronic musical instrument] came from. I was inspired by classic musical comedy scores, like Damn Yankees, Little Shop and Bye Bye Birdie,” Iconis explained. “Charlie is the one who is actually taking the musical idea and putting it in the hands of musicians… And all of those influences mashed up together and created this very, very, very unique sound that’s specific to Be More Chill.”
Besides having a unique score, BMC is in a league of its own because of the groundbreaking path it took to get to Broadway. Since it was not based on a well-known brand, didn’t have a big producer or corporation backing it and didn’t receive a rave New York Times review early on, it had to blaze its own trail. “There aren’t shows that have ever gotten to Broadway before just based on social media love,” Iconis said, referring to the cast recording discovered by and adored by fans online long after the original production closed.

Joe Iconis and company’s dream came true when Be More Chill opened on Broadway and shattered Lyceum Theatre opening records. (Photo by Jennifer Tepper) “It’s wild. It’s something that only could have happened in 2019 because of social media, but the real reason we got here couldn’t be more old school. It’s just word of mouth. It’s kids listening to these songs saying to other kids, ‘oh, you gotta hear this song, it’s awesome.’” The love, though emphatic and loud, was not universal. Some, particularly Tony voters, never jumped on the BMC train. “It’s such an easy show to dismiss. It’s so easy to look at Be More Chill and be like ‘oh, it’s some stupid sci-fi
thing about kids, blech, I don’t care,’” Iconis said. “I think if people would look even the slightest bit harder at the actual material, they’ll see that there’s a lot going on there…What really matters is that actual human beings respond to it. I feel great about the work I did on Be More Chill and I feel like history will be very kind to my musical.” All signs indicate he’s right. “Michael in the Bathroom,” the emotional anthem of the show whose popularity is responsible for the show’s Off-Broadway revival, has inspired
parodies including “Elphaba in the Bathroom,” a Wicked version sung by Ciara Renée in a YouTube video, and “Hosts in the Bathroom,” sung by James Corden, Josh Groban and Sara Bareilles at the 2019 Tony Awards. In true Squip fashion, the show is well on its way to taking over the world. Late last year, BMC announced a film adaptation was in the works with Shawn Levy (Stranger Things, Arrival) and Greg Berlanti (DC’s Arrowverse, Love, Simon). “It’s really exciting,” Iconis said. “We’re starting the developmental
process for that and a movie is a totally different beast,” adding that he plans to reimagine the musical for film. “The cool thing is our biggest influences for Be More Chill the musical were film influences, so it kind of feels full circle,” Iconis said. “It makes a weird kind of sense that Be More Chill would find its way to the screen because we kind of feel like it was always destined to do that anyway.” See the funny, joyful and exciting Be More Chill through Aug. 11 at the Lyceum Theater, 149 W 45th St., NYC.

Long Island’s Water Problem Part Two: Swimming in the crosscurrents of contamination
BY RUDY MALCOM
editorial@antonmediagroup.com
“Why are we, average citizens, having to beg for clean water?” asked Loreen Hackett. “Who would’ve thought that this was an issue that we would have to claw tooth and nail for?” Hackett, who lives in a rural village upstate called Hoosick Falls, has sought to raise awareness of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) contamination in her community. The well-documented effects of PFOA—which belongs to a class of resistant industry chemicals called per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs)—include effects on prenatal development and the immune system, thyroid problems, preeclampsia and kidney and testicular cancer. A recent New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) report urged the New York State Department of Health (DOH) to set enforceable Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) allowed in public drinking water for PFOA, as well as those for perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), its similarly toxic chemical cousin, and 1,4-dioxane. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regards 1,4-dioxane as a “probable human carcinogen” because of its likely effects on the kidney and liver. PFOA, PFOS and 1,4-dioxane are all unregulated in New York’s drinking water, and were found on Long Island above the EPA’s reference concentrations—non-enforced estimates of the maximum acceptable concentrations of toxic substances over a lifetime of exposure. An EPA web page cautions that reference concentrations, though based on health and risk assessments, “do not represent regulatory values or action levels and should not be interpreted as an indication that the Agency intends to establish a future drinking water regulation.” “The EPA is dragging their feet on regulations,” Hackett said. “Their repeatedly saying that they don’t have enough information is absurd. It’s insulting to all of us exposed.” “The agency is also moving forward with the maximum contaminant level (MCL) process outlined in the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) for PFOA and PFOS,” wrote Elías Rodríguez, the Media Relations Branch Chief of the EPA’s Region 2, in a statement. “EPA
will propose a regulatory determimade,” he said. “Not necessarily nation for PFOA and PFOS by the explicitly, but we’ve made it. We end of this year and will work said, ‘You know what, give me In through the rulemaking process my cell phone, give me my light as expeditiously as possible.” new technology…You don’t of a Although Hackett recoghave to test for whether or recent renizes that “government not it’s going to cause port, this is the is a slow process,” she me harm.’ So long as second of a threeis frustrated that the that’s the deal that part series on Long EPA still has not set we’ve made, there Island’s drinking water MCLs, even after are always going contamination.

The New of Congress are paying York State Drinking Water attention to PFAS activists, Quality Council (DWQC), citing a recent increase in bipartisan an independent entity tasked with legislation calling on the EPA to helping the state assess emerging strengthen public drinking water contaminants, recommended MCLs standards. Long Island’s congressional for PFOA, PFOS and 1,4-dioxane in delegation made such requests at a December. news conference on June 18. In a statement, DOH spokesperson “The EPA shouldn’t need legislation Erin Silk wrote that these recommento do their job,” Hackett said. “It dations, which New York State Health shouldn’t be a political issue, but it’s Commissioner Howard Zucker is turned into one.” currently considering, “go above and On the other hand, Dr. Jaymie beyond New York’s already protective Meliker—an associate professor of water quality measures and are being family, population and preventive reviewed thoroughly and responsibly.” medicine at Stony Brook University “NYPIRG’s report is not an accurate who studies exposure-disease relacharacterization of drinking water tionships—doesn’t think that governquality,” Silk added, “because its ment officials are ignoring drinking assumptions are based on misinterwater contamination. pretation of current EPA standards... “They’re very much aware of Report findings are based on sampling the problem,” he said, “and they’re previously reported on in 2016 under working on it.” a program by the EPA known as the He noted that testing for human Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring health effects takes an “extraordinariRule [UCMR] 3 and many water ly” long time, which he thinks is part of system have made adjustments since a “broader point” about why industry then.” chemicals pollute our environment.

Biosolids are nutri2017, “which includes $200 million ent-rich materials separated during currently available to communities the treatment of wastewater. to manage emerging contaminants “This is the grand deal that we have and an additional $500 million in this
year’s budget.” The year prior, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo donated $5 million to the New York State Center for Clean Water Technology (CCWT) at Stony Brook University in order to support its development of an advanced oxidation process (AOP) to treat 1,4-dioxane. The Hicksville Water District (HWD) announced plans last month to introduce an AOP pilot system “at no additional cost to taxpayers” in coordination with the CCWT after 1,4-dioxane was detected there at 34 parts per billion (ppb)—97 times higher than the EPA’s reference concentration of 0.35 ppb. “We believe emerging contaminants are the number one issue facing taxpayers and ratepayers across the region and are proud to take this critical step,” said Chairman Nicholas Brigandi of the HWD Board of Commissioners in a press release. Brigandi added that the “District is entirely dedicated to protecting public health at all costs.” “We work tirelessly every day to ensure we meet or exceed all federal and state regulations, and when new regulations are pending, it is our responsibility to make sure these regulations are set based on a foundation of sound science,” he said. Dr. Arjun Venkatesan, the associate director for Drinking Water Initiatives at the CCWT, explained a potential downside of the AOP, which should break down 1,4-dioxane by use of a strong oxidant. “When you add this oxidant, it can also react with other contaminants and other compounds present in our drinking water. It might be generating byproducts that we are not aware of,” he said. “There might be some byproducts that are even more toxic than 1,4-dioxane.” In an interview with Anton Media Group, Brigandi and HWD Interim Superintendent Ken Claus expressed their awareness of this concern and indicated plans to test for other contaminants. Michael Fricchione said that the Town of Hempstead, for which he is press secretary, also has funding “to plan and design treatment systems for the removal of 1,4-dioxane” as part of Supervisor Laura Gillen’s capital improvement plan passed earlier this year.

“The town is not standing idling by waiting for the EPA to act,” Fricchione wrote in a statement. “The town has also submitted grant applications to NYS for the construction of several treatment systems. All this is being done while the EPA and/or Department of Health continues to deliberate what the maximum contamination levels of certain elements should be.” Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth described her participation in efforts with local, state and federal representatives to protect aquifers and groundwater and “permanently dedicate funding...for regular water quality monitoring.” “Safeguarding our drinking water here on Long Island has been a top priority to me as an elected official since I first took office,” she wrote in a statement. “It is imperative that we are proactive in protecting the public health of our residents.” The New York State Department of Environmental Conversation (DEC) characterized New York in a statement as “a national leader in the fight to protect drinking water from threats posed by emerging contaminants.” “DEC works with numerous entities, including drinking water providers B:8.7” and authorities, federal, state, county, T:8.7” and local municipalities, and health
departments to ensure Long Island’s groundwater is protected,” the DEC wrote in a statement. “New York State has dedicated significant resources to assess emerging contaminants (i.e., 1,4 dioxane and PFAS) with a special focus on Long Island’s sole source aquifer.” Director Sarah Meyland of the Center for Water Resources Management at the New York Institute of Technology, also a member of the DWQC, noted that the DEC is a groundwater agency—not a drinking water agency. Dr. Laura Rabinow, who studies the absence of standards for emerging contaminants in drinking water, added that standards for groundwater are often “less protective because it’s assumed that groundwater is not directly going into a drinking water source,” though Long Island gets most of its drinking water from groundwater. Meyland proposed creating an organization that would manage Long Island’s drinking water specifically. “Right now, we have no plans to make things better on Long Island,” she said. “We have no one taking the steps to devise a way to better protect the drinking water supply.” Part three of this three-part series on water contamination will conclude in the July 17 issue.

Safely Repelling Animals And Other Pests
BY JOHN SPAGNOLI

T
here are many natural ways of repelling animals and pests—no harmful chemicals required. Certain chemicals are harmful to many beneficial animals and insects that flourish in backyards. Birds, such as robins, eat live food and can be affected by harmful chemicals that can poison their food. Try using alternative solutions for your garden issues. There are many different natural ways to remove pests from your garden that don’t involve poisons. You can make environment friendly soap-based sprays. Introduce praying mantis and ladybirds (ladybugs) to your garden to eat pests. It is possible to purchase praying mantis eggs and ladybugs to
add to your garden during spring. Different animals need distinctive repellents. The first step is understanding your situation with animals. What kind of animals do you need to deter? Once you know, you can create homemade remedies. There are many recipes for making natural deterrents using garlic, onions that are not pleasant to smell. A really cool idea to deter all animals from your home is by using a sprinkler spraying water system. This scares and makes animals run away. This harmless deterrent is safe and effective keeping animals off your lawn. The various products on the market all have very strong sensors that can detect even the smallest of animals. Spraying water repels animals like deer,
raccoons, opossums and squirrels to name a few. During the daytime, children can run around on the lawn and get soaked. Have you ever planted a garden to only

have the soil dug up and used as a bathroom by cats? Cats can be trained not to poop in your garden with homemade concoctions. You can mix rosemary fresh or
dried, lemon juice and white vinegar in a sprayer that will deter cats. Dogs are great loving loyal animals. Sometimes, the neighbor dog will mark its territory on your lawn. A deterrent is vinegar mixed with water in a spray bottle. As suggested on the internet, the use of cayenne pepper is not a good idea. This method causes burning to the eyes and nose. That’s no way to treat man and woman’s best friend. The idea is to be a deterrent for the dog, not cause harm. Many consider squirrels to be a pest. Squirrels are attracted to fruit trees and vegetable gardens. They often leave behind half-eaten fruits and veggies. Cayenne is a strong deterrent for squirrels. Dusting your garden with crushed cayenne pepper flakes is a nonlethal and
effective way to manage those pesky squirrels. There are a number of products that can deter deer, and other animals that are not harmful. It is better to discourage animals before they reach the garden. Beside homemade concoctions, you can find products at a local nursery. Remember, we don’t want to harm the animals. They are just trying to survive and adapt among us.

An Integrative Approach he term “integrative medicine” might bring to mind holistic approaches to wellness like massage, yoga and acupuncture. And while these activities are aspects of integrative medicine, the term is broader based, encompassing all healthy lifestyle practices and complementary healing modalities that help you thrive. Integrative care puts you at the center of your care with a focus on better nutrition, sleep, support and stress management.
Learn how to eat better Balanced nutrition is a key aspect of integrative medicine. Limiting fast food, sugar, alcohol and foods linked to inflammation can boost your immune system, help you lose
weight and just make you feel better.
Focus on movement Whether it’s a walk around the block or devoting a few minutes to stretching, moving more is an important first step on the path toward improved health and wellness.
Create moments of mindfulness Whether you are sipping your morning coffee, walking, listening to music or talking to someone, try to be in the moment. Bringing your full attention to the task at hand helps you be present for it and enjoy it.
Breathe deeply By slowing down your heart

Soak Up The Sun...Screen Local physician offers summer health tips for your skin

S
ummertime means barbecue parties in the backyard and picnics at the beach, swimming at the pool and strolling through the park. But with these seasonal pleasures come health perils like sunburn, heat exhaustion and heatstroke. Magdalena Swierczewski, MD, Director of Aesthetics and Integrative Medicine Specialist at HealthBridge Platinum Concierge in Great Neck, said to steer clear of the sun as much as possible, but offered tips for how to minimize health problems while
soaking up rays and sipping rosé. “A day at the beach is advisable if you protect yourself,” she said. Like most dermatologists, she recommends applying a sunscreen of at least SPF30 for those planning to spend more than 20 minutes at the beach. Swierczewski noted that lower SPF values provide only a “smidgen of protection,” and that it is necessary to reapply often, depending on your product’s instructions—and more frequently if you’re sweating or swimming. SPF hair care products, she added, can prevent your hair from getting fried by the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays.
At the Center for Wellness and Integrative Medicine we offer yoga, Pilates, meditation, massage, acupuncture and much more.

Solar UV exposure causes skin aging and is a risk factor for most skin cancers. However, Swierczewski, who is board-certified in both internal and aesthetic/anti-aging medicine, identified several benefits of sunlight. According to Swierczewski, most people who live on the east coast are deficient in vitamin D, which our bodies synthesize from sunlight. Vitamin D helps us absorb calcium into our bones and teeth and promotes healthy hair and skin. A day at the beach is also good, she said, for our moods as well as our circadian rhythms, the internal processes that regulate our sleep-wake cycles. Swierczewski suspects, however, that many beachgoers neglect to wear sunglasses that offer protection against UV rays, which can damage the eye’s retina. Our ozone layer’s depletion from industrial chemicals and other environmental changes, Swierczewski said, only amplify the sun’s carcinogenic impact. “There’s more exposure to harmful rays, so it’s even more important to protect ourselves properly,” she said. Accordingly, Swierczewski suggests seeing your dermatologist if a mole changes or grows over time or has asymmetry, irregular borders or a variety of colors, as these can be early signs of melanoma. She also endorsed including vitamin C serum in your skin care regimen, which not only helps even skin tone but also wields antioxidant properties. Antioxidants fight off the effects of free radicals—unstable molecules that cause cellular damage and may play a role in aging and cancer development. Many believe that sunburn in childhood greatly increases the likelihood of having skin cancer later in life. Infants and younger children in particular, Swierczewski said, should keep away from the sun and wear long sleeves if possible. In addition, she explained, senior citizens are particularly prone to health
Magdalena Swierczewski, MD disorders during the summer because heat often exacerbates cardiovascular issues. “If you have an elderly neighbor and it’s particularly hot that day, it’s always nice to check in on them and make sure that their air conditioner is working and that they have everything they need,” she said. Swierczewski also emphasized the importance of adequate hydration, supporting the 8x8 rule, which states that you should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day—or more if you’re sweating, she stressed. “Always have some water with you when you’re traveling in the car,” she added. When you’re not trapped on the highway, you might attend parties and weddings or participate in other outdoor events and activities where alcohol is served. If so, make sure to have a glass of water between each boozy beverage, Swierczewski advised, along with a multivitamin the next day to replenish lost electrolytes. Overall, Swierczewski believes that if you take certain precautions, you can avoid health hazards and still enjoy the summer. You don’t need to lock yourself indoors to stay safe on staycation. “There are very positive things that you can get from being out in the sun,” she said. “But you have to do it wisely.”

eautiful skin starts from within and nourishing the body with wholesome, real, unprocessed foods is key to living a healthy life and maintaining a glowing complexion. What you put in your body is just as important as what products you use on your skin. A diet high in processed foods, added sugars, and refined carbohydrates can promote acne as well as aging skin. Environmental factors like pollution and sunlight can also rob the body of nutrients and accelerate the aging process. Although specific antioxidant-rich foods can combat this damage, many of the best foods to promote healthy glowing skin also, in turn, benefit your overall health. Eating a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables can help protect your skin, as each color contains different beneficial antioxidants. For example, blue/purple produce is rich

The ABCs Of Hepatitis C
H
epatitis C is curable in 98 percent of people who are infected. The number of baby boomers with hepatitis C is on the decline. The World Health Organization has set a goal of eliminating hepatitis C in every country by 2030. The United States will not meet that goal. There are two reasons why our country will not meet this goal. The first is access and affordability of hepatitis C therapy. Despite improvement in overall access in most states over the last three years, with New York leading the way, access and affordability remain significant issues for many people with this condition. The second reason is the dramatic spike in the number of new cases of acute hepatitis C directly related to the opioid epidemic. The opioid epidemic has created
THE SPECIALIST David Bernstein, MD
a large population of young people, from their early teens to mid-20s, with hepatitis C. While we are identifying and treating the baby boomers, our young population continues to infect itself. As an aside and paradoxically, this has had direct benefit to patients awaiting organ transplantation of all types, as many young people with acute infection do
not survive thus creating a pool of otherwise healthy people who can donate their organs. Because of the high cure rate of hepatitis C, it is now common to transplant a hepatitis C positive organ into a hepatitis C negative recipient and simply treat the hepatitis C once the recipient has recovered from surgery. Hepatitis C is not distributed equally across our country. More than half of the people infected within live in just nine states. These states are California, Texas, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Tennessee and North Carolina. Many of these states are in areas where the opioid epidemic has reached crisis proportions. The opioid epidemic has hit the Appalachian region of Kentucky, West Virginia and Tennessee particularly hard. We on Long Island have seen a
dramatic increase in cases of acute hepatitis C amongst teenagers and college-age students. Once hepatitis C is recognized, the evaluation required prior to initiating therapy can be accomplished quickly as liver biopsy is no longer required and, therefore, most people can start therapy within two weeks of the first evaluation and have documented cure six months later. Therapies are now approved for all people over the age of 12 and for all ages of people who weigh more than 99 pounds. Until recently, the new, highly effective, well tolerated treatments were not approved for those ages 12 to 17. This meant that our teenagers would have to wait until they became eighteen before insurance companies would pay for their medications. With the medications approved for those ages 12
to 17 and for any age if the person weighs more than 99 pounds, pediatricians can now treat these patients. While education for the treated will be important, pediatricians will soon learn how easy and rewarding it is to cure a patient with hepatitis C. Despite the improvements in access, affordability and the expansion of the eligibility to include teenagers, we will never reach the goal of eliminating hepatitis C by 2030 without addressing the opioid crisis facing our young people. Long Island in particular has a real problem that is not going away. This will take more than the support of doctors, educators and families. Solving the opioid crisis requires real courage by our leaders to provide support to do the right thing. Let’s hope they are up to the task.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ve worked hard, and you’re ready for results. There’s a barrier to be cleared before the flow of bounty can reach you. Perhaps not enough people know about what you do, or maybe it’s just that they are not the right people, the ones who will benefit most. You’ll remedy that this week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There are things you’re not sure you want to know. Your hesitation is understandable. There’s no going back to innocence or ignorance once those things are lost. So while you’d like to learn all you can about your environment and the people in it, you’re also aware that things will not be the same afterward. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Most people want to get better at what they do. As a leader, you don’t have to give a ton of feedback and show people how to improve. It’s more a matter of casting improvement-oriented individuals in the role and then supporting them, or more likely, giving them what they need and then getting out of their way. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Love can unfold in a variety of ways. There are as many versions of love as there are people. Sometimes you find it best to show your love through support, other times through competition. Your ability to feel out the moment and selflessly determine how your actions affect another person is a kind of superpower. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People may say, “You can tell me anything and I won’t judge you,” though they can’t help but do so. To judge is human. Divulging yourself is always a risk. To get something off your chest or to keep it close to the vest -- that is the question. Sleep on it. With sleep comes wisdom; impulsiveness leads to folly. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Toxic cultures are defined by aggression and competition. Where this is the game, the only way to win is not to play. Improvement is your constant aim this week. As you march toward better health and solid spiritual grounding, there won’t be time to get mixed up in immature games with ego-based stakes. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Every person in your life brings something to the table. It is not always immediately apparent what it is. You might have to think about it, and that can be uncomfortable. “What’s in it for me?” isn’t a question you like to ask, but it’s valid and important to consider with this week’s focus on the strength of your team. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A good collaboration will get better as you go. The strongest collaborations are born of mutual trust. That’s developing for you. Trust comes with consistency. Consistency, by definition, involves repetition over time. So be patient. Right now, things are friendly and accepting. Eventually, real trust will develop. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Accumulation is unnatural. Nature’s way is usually to break things down, blow them away or settle and compress them. You’ll find that there is a natural process happening that will put to rest what’s currently not useful. Old patterns, items and even relationships will be efficiently and elegantly moved. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A secret can be fun, like a spring-loaded surprise. But most are more like burdensome rocks you’re forced to carry around. Every time you want to handle something, you have to juggle the heavy secret to another hand, making you wonder if it’s even possible to be fully effective while also managing a secret. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). In the slumber parties of youth, the close vicinity of friends brought on enough joyful adrenaline to fuel a night of giggles and make sleep seem impossible. Contrastingly, the adult all-nighter for work or study is a terrible and difficult grind. This week, you’ll use excitement and attraction to manage your energy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There is much happening in your mind that could lead you away from being powerful if you let it. The list includes value judgments, what you hoped to avoid or obtain, expectations and wishes. When you deal strictly in what is actually happening and what you can influence, you’re a force to be reckoned with.

You have options. Take the power or leave it. There are valid reasons for either choice, but, of course, you’ll take it. There’s someone you want to be, an experience you’d like to have and a difference you’d like to make. The only way is to take the power is to deal through the awkwardness and mistakes that are inevitable in the first few chapters of learning how to effectively wield your strength. Don’t worry, by the turn of the new year, you’ll have systems in place and be well on your way to mastery.

Rosé Mansion acid room, where guests eat a Sour Patch Kid before sipping their pink wine to learn about acidity.

isclaimer: You will get confetti everywhere. But that’s what makes it fun because there aren’t many places you’d find dispensers full of different types of confetti you can pour into your palms and later throw into the air while you stand inside of a giant pastel pink and blue cake. Plus, sips of rosé are just steps away. How could it get any better? Honestly, after a long day of work, the Rosé Mansion is the perfect spot to just let loose, throw that confetti, relive your childhood in the ball pit, drink that rosé and snap some Instagram-worthy shots.
safety video, guests are escorted into the mansion. To enter the mansion, you walk through a multiple-arched walkway into what appears to be a field of giant wine grape balls, perfect for tossing for a cute picture or for running through. After grabbing your plastic Rosé Mansionbranded wine glass, you get to enjoy the first stop of your wine flight—a taste of wine and a little history. Soon, you’re walking through a laboratory with flasks full of pink fluff and a mock fermentation set-up, only to be led to a room filled with little alcoves, each carrying a different light. At first, I thought it was just going to be a cute photo, but then I realized it was a game of scratch and sniff. Each alcove was adorned with a scratch-and-sniff sticker and a covered plaque you could unveil with the answer to what you were sniffing once you were done guessing. But the room was more than just a throwback to my childhood of scratch and sniff books, it taught mansion-goers about aromas—wine jargon used to describe how a wine smells.
Rosé Mansion brings sips of pink to NYC
The Experience
The Rosé Mansion is quite literally a wine flight. As soon as you walk out of the elevator that takes you down into the pink-clad 32,000-square-foot experience, you’re transported to an airport waiting area, complete with a few picture-worthy walls. After a brief

Transitioning to the next room, one is transported to Egypt, during the time when Cleopatra ruled as pharaoh, to test out the wine that Mark Antony and Julius Caesar would send her. As I traveled throughout the mansion, I was able to view an island
oasis, play a game to find out what kind of wine fit my taste buds—sweet, so it guessed perfectly—and try on some different hats and fancy robes for photo ops in front of a makeup mirror. My top three favorite rooms had to have been the garden, the birthday

cake room and the ball pit of bubbles. As soon as I entered the garden, a room covered from floor to ceiling in greenery, rose petals and empty bathtubs, I wanted to frolic through the scattered rose petals others were picking up to throw in the air for an Instagram Boomerang. Of course, the birthday cake room was an actual treat, calling for a celebration as I watched others jump from the cake and throw confetti. The ball pit was a bit surprising. I didn’t realize how strenuous it would be to trudge through the bubble balls to get a cute Boomberang of myself falling back into the pit or throwing the bubbles in the air. After the tour, I was let out into a rosé wonderland, a brightly colored room where mansion-goers could purchase more than 120 types of wine—including the eight rosés featured throughout—food, swings, picnic tables and cabanas. The entire experience from beginning to end, while it’s more of a rosé tasting experience, allowed for a freeing afternoon, where I could let loose, make a few funny faces, strike new poses for some great photos with friends and just laugh.

museums like the Color Factory or the Museum of Ice Cream, so did the owners just jump on the bandwagon? No, they’ve been wine connoisseurs for quite some time and wanted to bring their knowledge to the public in a fun and interactive way, so this format just seemed like the perfect fit. Cofounder Tyler Balliet explained he was in his mid-20s, living in Boston, trying to figure out what to do as a day job when he started writing about wine. Soon, he was being
paid to fly around the world, meet winemakers, hear their stories and, of course, taste the wine. From there, Balliet grew his wine connections, so he and current cofounder Morgan First began running educational wine tasting events throughout the country. While this business was fun to be in with the travel and tastings, Balliet and First sold it to move on to their next endeavor—the Rosé Mansion. “We talked about a museum of
science for wine,” said Balliet. “We saw the museum model with building out the whole space. It’s not a new idea. We ultimately chose rosé because it’s a really great vehicle for storytelling. Morgan and I do all creatives. The concept starts with us and we sit around and come up with crazy ideas.” He explained the two wanted mansion-goers to have the educational and historical aspect of the pink wine, while getting an interactive experience, plus a cool photo. While the cofounders kept some of the rooms from last year, they updated a few, like the ball pit, and added new ones like the Cleopatra room, which is one of Balliet’s favorites. “Ultimately, the goal is to put smiles on faces,” said Balliet of the mansion. “It’s tough to live in New York and even if you’re visiting, you want to have fun and act like a kid and celebrate. It’s a good place to take a friend who is having a tough day to get them to laugh for an hour.” The entire tour takes about 60 to 90 minutes. General admission tickets are $45 and include eight tasting samples, a GoVino wine glass, a collectible enamel pin and more. For more information or tickets, visit www.rosewinemansion.com.

When people speak of the world’s largest nation, they no longer say “Russia.” Instead, it’s “Putin’s Russia,” a sentiment reflected in the title of Nina Khruscheva and Jeffrey Tayler’s travel book, In Putin’s Footsteps: Searching For The Soul of the Empire. Khruscheva, as the reader might guess, is the granddaughter of the former Soviet premier, the famous shoe-banging Nikita Khrushchev. This gives the book an emotional appeal. Khruscheva lives in self-imposed exile in New York. She loves her homeland and is at turns, both disappointed by its stubbornness to go full Western, while being inspired by the pride ordinary people take in their hometowns. The authors acknowledge Putin’s enduring popularity. Defeat in the Cold War was a humiliating experience. Russia, like the United States,

he 50th anniversary of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin’s Apollo 11 moon landing and walk is upon us. So far, there has been a film, First Man, which received poor reviews, and a documentary, Armstrong, which fared better. James Donovan’s Shoot For The Moon also celebrates the moon landing, even though most of the book is a history of the MercuryGemini program that preceded it. Donovan tells a familiar story: The Sputnik shocker, where Americans literally feared Soviet domination of both space and earth, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson’s dedication to space travel (along with Dwight Eisenhower’s ambivalence), John Glenn’s heroics, the central role of Wernher Von Braun, the German émigré and mastermind of the legendary V-2 rocket, Armstrong himself, whose humility made him the right choice to be the first man to step on the moon and the achievements of a 24-year-old computer whiz kid named Jack Garman. What is stunning
is the pessimism among NASA technicians and the astronauts. The Apollo 11 crew gave themselves only a 50-50 chance of success, which meant that Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin could have perished on the cold lunar surface.
China or India, is not so much a nation as a world unto itself. Full integration into an American-German-dominated West is not in the cards. The final line leaps out: Russia remains a nation where “the past is anything but past.” It reminds one of Faulkner’s observation, “The past isn’t dead. It isn’t even past.” Happy is the nation where its people have both feet firmly planted in a past, one both heroic and tragic. No team, save the Boston Celtics of 1957 to 1969, ever dominated sports as did the New York Yankees of the 1950s. By 1950, Joe DiMaggio’s career was winding down. Yankees management, led by the indefatigable George Weiss, kept the dynasty running on all cylinders. Weiss and his scouts signed hundreds of young men to meager contracts. Then it was off to Arizona to see which ones would stick. In the spring of 1951, the young Mickey Mantle kept bashing 500-ft. and 600-ft. home runs. That was the idea. One of these young men were certain to have the goods. Yankee management also liked the way Casey Stengel, while managing in the minor leagues, related well to young players. Weiss was looking for a teacher as manager. By platooning his players and using starting pitchers in tight spots in World Series games, Stengel out-managed his competitors at every turn. The Yankees were brilliant up the middle: Yogi Berra behind the plate, Phil Rizzuto at shortstop, Jerry Coleman and Billy Martin at second base, Mantle in center field and the trio of Vic Raschi, Allie Reynolds and Eddie Lopat on the mound. But Weiss and Stengel’s ruthlessness kept the team sharp. This quickie book fails to capture the drama of the Yankee dynasty, especially its finest hour: Wins on the road in Brooklyn in Games Six and Seven of the 1952 World Series, where Stengel ran circles around Dodger skipper, Chuck Dressen, plus the comeback win over the Milwaukee Braves in the 1958 fall classic. In the blandly-titled The New York Yankees of the 1950s: Mantle, Stengel, Berra, and a Decade of Dominance, David Fischer takes a look at the decade and doesn’t like what he sees. The book,
then, becomes a running commentary on the Eisenhower years, rather than sticking to baseball. Peter Golenbock’s Dynasty remains the book to read on this unforgettable era in Yankee history. In his quick overview of American history (If We Can Keep It: How the Republic Collapsed and How It Might Be Saved), Michael Tomasky also doesn’t like what he sees from the past. Before listing areas of reform, Tomasky walks the reader through a brief tour: Ages of Creation, Power, Consensus and Fracture. Tomasky believes the revolutions of the 1960s, ’70s and beyond were necessary, but he remains incensed at the ongoing backlash. America, the author admits, has come apart on issues of race, gender and immigration. He fails to add that the American family has also collapsed. The Age of Consensus had this: The family unit meant husband, wife and children. Tomasky holds out hope that the Age of Fracture is succeeded by an Age of Repair. His pie-in-the-sky includes a foreign exchange-style student program for youngsters from red and blue states, a compulsory service year for college students, an expanding civics education (one that “means neither glossing over the bad [aspects of American history] nor overemphasizing it”) and a “demand” for social responsibility by corporate and business leaders. Tomasky calls for abolishing the electoral college. Citing one Jefferson Cowie, he acknowledges that the Age of Consensus (1929 to 1960) only happened because the United States remained a homogeneous nation, prosperous enough to give in a little.

Knicks Come Up Empty, Nets Catch Big Fish BY MARCO SCHADEN MSCHADEN@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
T
he Brooklyn Nets pulled off the unimaginable and the New York Knicks made you put “The Sound of Silence” on repeat. Stars have finally come to New York, but not to the destination so many thought was a slam dunk only a few weeks ago. The signings of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving transform perception of the Brooklyn Nets from a franchise with no fans to a title contender. The Nets will be without Durant for this upcoming season because of an achilles tear he suffered during the NBA Finals, but will still trot out a squad capable of being a top-4 team in the wide-open Eastern Conference this year. The New Zealand native and Nets general manager, Sean Marks, has taken a team with no assets or draft picks three years ago and created an infrastructure and culture to compete with any team in the NBA. His work must be applauded and he is already the front-runner for executive of the year. Marks absorbed unwanted overpaid veterans into open cap space like Allen Crabbe, DeMarre Carroll, Andrew Nicholson and Timofey Mozgov in order to replenish the draft stock that was depleted by Billy King’s infamous Boston Celtics trade that saw four first round picks exported or swapped. Those picks and young players obtained turned out to be D’Angelo Russell, Caris LeVert and Jarrett Allen. Russell is now with the Warriors in a sign-andtrade deal for Durant, but LeVert and Allen look to be the foundation that Marks wants to surround his new stars with. Along with Irving and Durant, Marks signed center DeAndre Jordan for four years at $40 million, and small forward Garrett Temple for two years, $10 million. Irving and Durant took less than the max contract in order for the Nets to sign Jordan, who has declined in recent years after leaving the Los Angeles Clippers. Temple is an under-the-radar

signing who can be a 3-and-D wing; a more than adequate replacement for Jared Dudley, who just signed with the Los Angeles Lakers. Without Durant, the Nets will have a probable starting lineup of Kyrie Irving, Caris LeVert, Joe Harris, Taurean Prince and DeAndre Jordan next season with Rodions Kurucs, Jarrett Allen, Spencer Dinwiddie and Garrett Temple providing quality depth off the bench. A drastic upgrade from the 2016-2017 Nets that featured an opening-day lineup of Jeremy Lin, Bojan Bogdanovic, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Trevor Booker and Brook Lopez. The ceiling of this team will be determined by how healthy Durant is for the 2020-21 season or if Marks makes a move for a disgruntled star like Bradley Beal. Knicks fans were disappointed after missing out on any of the A-list stars in this year’s free agency. Reports starting coming out that the Knicks were not prepared to give Durant the max, a nonstarter for the two-time Finals MVP. They rebounded by overpaying for veteran players such as shooting guard Wayne Ellington, power forward/ center Julius Randle, center Taj Gibson, shooting guard Reggie Bullock, point guard Elfrid Payton and power forward Bobby Portis. The Knicks were smart to keep the contract length at two years for almost all of their signings. Their most notable signing, Randle, who averaged a career-high 21.4 points per game last season on a bad New Orleans team, received a three year, $63 million deal. However, the third year is a team option that gives the Knicks flexibility depending on Randle’s production. With no notable star free agents in next year’s class, the Knicks have set themselves up to have ample cap space two years from now when Bradley Beal and Giannis Antetokounmpo are on the market. The Knicks have to put their focus on their current young core right now instead of star-chasing for players that have shown no inclination to want to play at the Mecca of basketball. Develop the

players in the building, similar to what the Nets have done the last three years. Kevin Knox, Dennis Smith Jr., R.J. Barrett and Mitchell Robinson all have the potential to become quality assets. Time will tell if the influx of veterans will take away playing time from them or nurture them into something Knicks fans can finally be joyous about.
