The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz The classic film celebrates 80 years of magic BY JENNIFER FAUCI

JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

omewhere over the rainbow, there is a magical and colorful land, filled with friendship, family and an appreciation of home. When The Wizard of Oz hit the silver screen, those idealizations became a reality for audiences who watched as Dorothy Gale, a simple farm girl from Kansas traveled to the land of Oz, meeting new friends, and finding a strength within herself that she never knew she had. It has been 80 years since the film’s release, having debuted in August 1939, and it is the best-known and most commercially successful adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s children’s book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900). People still hold tight to the iconic image of

OZ from page 3A Dorothy, Toto, Scarecrow, Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion skipping down the yellow brick road. After Dorothy, her dog Toto and their farmhouse are swept away to Munchkinland in the magical land of Oz by a tornado in Kansas, the house falls on and kills the Wicked Witch of the East, freeing the Munchkins from her tyranny. When her sister, The Wicked Witch of the West, comes to claim the ruby red slippers, Glinda the Good Witch of the North (Billie Burke), magically transfers them to Dorothy’s feet. Stressing their importance and the power they possess, Glinda, tells Dorothy to never take them off. Along the way, Dorothy (Judy Garland) and Toto meet the Scarecrow (Ray Bolger), who is in need of brains, the Tin Man (Jack Haley) in need of a heart and the Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr), in need of courage. Together they travel to the magical land of Oz to meet the Wizard (Frank Morgan), in hopes of obtaining what they seek and to find a way to get Dorothy back home to Kansas. But when the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton), captures Dorothy, she is splashed with a bucket of water and she melts

by simply closing her eyes, clicking the heels of the slippers together three times and repeating the phrase, “There’s no place like home.” The year 1939 was a big year for film. Gone With the Wind was one of the first films that included foul language and that same year, The Wizard of Oz took advantage of the new Technicolor color process, which changed film forever. The movie, which entered production thanks to the enormous success of Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs, became known for its fantasy story, musical score, beloved characters and appeal to all ages, solidifying its place in Hollywood as an American pop culture icon. The Wizard of Oz was nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, but lost to Gone with the Wind, which

was also directed by Victor Fleming. It did, however, win Best Original Song for “Over the Rainbow” and Best Original Score by Herbert Stothart. Although the film was considered a critical success upon release in August 1939, it failed to make a profit for MGM until 10 years later during a rerelease. Regardless, The Wizard of Oz catapulted Judy Garland, born Frances Ethel Gumm from Grand Rapids, MN, into stardom, as the young Garland was a mere 17 years old when the film was produced. The Wizard of Oz was rereleased several times throughout it’s major anniversary milestones and collectible video and DVD collection. The film returned to many theaters around the country in 2019 for its 80th anniversary.

A Walk In Her Shoes

BY JENNIFER FAUCI JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

hey are the most iconic shoes in all of Hollywood. Next to Cinderella’s glass slippers, Dorothy’s ruby red slippers stand the test of time when it comes to cinematic footwear. The yellow brick road, vibrant green Emerald City and rainbow infused Munchkinland all contribute to the colorful film, but it is the red sparkle of those shoes that make people think of The Wizard of Oz. In L. Frank Baum’s original novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900), on which the film is based, Dorothy actually wears silver shoes. The decision to change the footwear was made to take advantage of the new Technicolor film process used in big-budget Hollywood films of that era. Dorothy, a simple farm girl from Kansas, is wearing black shoes when the film begins, opening in black and white. After a tornado transports her to the land of Oz, killing the Wicked Witch of the East, she obtains the ruby gems, a powerful pair of shoes

Dorothy’s Ruby Slippers are on display at The Smithsonian National Museum of American History. (Photo by dbkng via Wikimedia / CC by 2.0) that the Wicked Witch of the West demands she give back. Did you know that there were several pairs of slippers created for Judy Garland to wear, all designed by Gilbert Adrian, MGM’s chief costume designer? All of the shoes are sized five and six and vary between B and D widths as the actress’ feet would be

swollen by the end of the day. One design was a curled-toe bejeweled Arabian inspired design, which was deemed too elaborate for a farm girl. White silk shoes were dyed red and then covered in a sequin overlay. A few weeks before filming, the last minute decision to add a bow was

made, with three large glass jewels for added sparkle. While there are possibly five or ten pairs of shoes that were created for the film, four pairs used in the movie are certain to be in existence, however their exact whereabouts are unknown. One pair, known as “The People’s Shoes,” resides in the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C., where fans can visit the ruby gems along with other Hollywood memorabilia. Another pair was on display at Walt Disney World in MGM’s Great Movie Ride, an attraction that is no longer in the park. Another pair that belonged to memorabilia collector Michael Shaw and were on loan, were stolen in 2005 from the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids, MN, the actress’ birthplace, and were recently recovered in 2018. Another pair known as the “Witch’s Shoes,” are nicknamed so because of their lack of wear and tear, used in close ups and the pair that the Wicked Witch of the East donned in her death scene. All that history in one pair of shoes.

Judy Garland On Film

LONGISLANDWEEKLY.COM

Garland with Mickey Rooney in Girl Crazy (Photo by MGM via Movie Stills DB)

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

orn Frances Ethel Gumm, Judy Garland crammed quite the musical legacy into a life that tragically ended with her dying from an accidental overdose at age 47. While her most-loved role was as the lead in 1939’s Wizard of Oz (for which Garland was honored with an Academy Juvenile Award), the Minnesota native compiled quite the filmography.

Babes in Arms (1939)

Adapted from the 1937 musical of the same name, Babes found storied choreographer Busby Berkeley directing and Garland reuniting with Mickey Rooney for their third movie. Filmed immediately after The Wizard of Oz wrapped, Rooney’s Mickey Moran is thrown together with Garland’s Patsy Barton as a pair of talented children denied the stage by their vaudeville parents. The magical compositional duo of Rodgers & Hart provided Garland and Rooney with a raft of songs that would become cornerstones of the Great American Songbook, including “Where or When,” “My Funny Valentine,” “I Wish I Were In Love Again” and “The Lady Is a Tramp.”

Gray at a college out west. When this school of higher educations faces closing due to falling enrollment, the kids put on a show to raise money. Composers George and Ira Gershwin provide the songs, the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra is tapped to play while Rooney and Garland take turns doling out stellar readings of “Bidin’ My Time,” “Embraceable You,” “But Not For Me” and “I Got Rhythm.”

Meet Me in St. Louis (1944) Garland met director Vincente Minnelli on the set of this project and wound up making him her second husband. Esther Smith became one of Garland’s signature roles and was center stage in this musical about a year in the life of a family leading up to the 1904 World’s Fair. Several songs in the film have become staples in her musical canon including “Trolley Song,” “The Boy Next Door” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” This production was deemed “culturally significant” by the Library of Congress in 1994 and preserved in the United States National Film Registry.

Easter Parade (1948) Garland hit the silver screen for this Irving Berlin musical with Fred Astaire, who was tapped as a replacement for Gene Kelly, who pulled out of the picture due to injury. Astaire’s Don Hewes has a falling out with dance partner Nadine Hale (Ann Miller). While drowning his sorrows at a local saloon, Hewes insists he can create a star out of the next dancer he meets.

after Garland had been released from her MGM contract after working for the company for 15 years, she made a comeback as a young entertainer taking her shot at fame after getting involved with a former star on the downside of his career. The role may have earned Garland a Best Actress Oscar nod, but she wound up losing out in this category to Grace Kelly who won the Oscar for her performance in The Country Girl.

Judgment at Nuremberg (1961)

One of Garland’s few non-musical roles, this Stanley Kramer-directed courtroom drama found her starring alongside Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster, Marlene Dietrich and Montgomery Clift. Garland’s performance earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. The Oscar wound up going to Rita Moreno for West Side Story.

MUSEUM NEWS

Auschwitz Exhibit Brings Reality Of Death Camp To NYC BY MIKE ADAMS

madams@antonmediagroup.com

he entrance lobby of the Museum of Jewish Heritage in Battery Park is a bright, boisterous place—an open rotunda with a high ceiling that lets in the light of the day. Tour groups and school children make their way around the building. It’s noisy, it’s a place of life. Except for one corridor off to the right, a black hallway lurking at the edge of view in stark contrast to the surrounding environment. That’s the entrance to the museum’s newest exhibit, “Auschwitz: Not Long Ago, Not Far Away,” the largest-ever collection of artifacts documenting the Nazi death camp and the town its presence changed forever. Through that tunnel is a different world, a world dedicated to peoples and cultures decimated by the brutality of the Holocaust. The exhibit focuses on that loss right from the start, immediately presenting viewers with archival footage from families killed in the camp. Children laughing, old men leaving temple—everyday scenes of lives long since erased. At the end of that hallway, a quote from Holocaust survivor Primo Levi presents what one tour guide called the message of the entire exhibit. “It happened, therefore it can happen again,” Levi’s quote read. “This is the core of what we have to say. It can happen, and it can happen anywhere.” Things grow quiet on the other side of that tunnel. What few words get uttered between guests are spoken in hushed whispers, as if the enormity of this place demands silent reverence. Every now and then, a sob breaks that silence. The exhibit chronicles the developments that led to the Holocaust with meticulous detail. The history of Europe’s Jews, the pain of Germany’s loss in the First World War and the way that pain was harnessed by a long-bubbling backdrop of antisemitism into the catalyst for Nazi Germany, every part of the story is told through photos, artifacts and walls of text. The camp itself, the exhibit reveals, was placed in that old town the Polish called Oswieicm because of its importance as a railway juncture. For a hundred years, it was a crucial intersection of routes from all over Eastern Europe, bringing travelers from across

the continent and functioning as a safe haven for thousands of Jews around the turn of the 20th century. Those same railways that brought life into Oswiecim would fuel Auschwitz throughout its entire operation. Most of the exhibit focuses on the trauma Europe’s Jewish community was subjected to under Nazi rule, but considerable space is dedicated to telling lesser-known stories of the other minorities and social outcasts subjected to the death camps. The Romani were atomized by the Holocaust, too, as about 1.5 million of them perished during its run. They just called it the “Porajmos,” which translates to “The Devouring.” Auschwitz slaughtered gay people, Poles and socialists, too, all of who receive their dedicated space to chronicle their experience at the camp. Some of the most powerful parts of the exhibit are massive relics from the camp. There’s a pair of wheels from a railroad car that ferried prisoners into Auschwitz, each the size of a person. Across the room stand pillars and barbed wire from the fences that enclosed the camp. Strands of the frayed metal are missing, but the pieces that remain survived from when they were used to trap human beings. Some of the exhibit’s most powerful artifacts are small things, trinkets left behind by departed victims of Nazi terror. Photos showing piles of discarded glasses, shoes and suitcases are infamous the world over, but it’s a different thing entirely to see worn leather soles that belonged to a little girl from Poland, suspended in a glass box and complete with a story of the child who used to run through her hometown wearing them. Perhaps the most poignant piece is a group of three small beans laid atop a sheet of glass. Those beans were food given to Anne Frank and her family as they hid from Nazi soldiers in a secret room in Amsterdam. She wrote about them in her diary. Years later, after escaping Auschwitz, her father Otto returned to the house that now bears her name and found these same beans alone on the floor—tangible remnants of his teenage daughter. They wait now at the museum. The sheer scope and depth of documentation at the exhibit is daunting. Until it moves on Jan. 3, 2020, it will stand in New York as an embodiment of how important it is to never forget what happened at Auschwitz.

Water Safety BY DANIEL SNYDER

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

ater safety is a topic that impacts all families. Labor Day is one of the biggest beach and pool weekends of the year, so it is a good time for families to brush up on basic water safety reminders. Drowning is the number-one cause of injury-related death for children ages 1 to 4 and it kills nearly 1,000 children every year. Formal swimming lessons reduce the likelihood of childhood drowning by 88 percent. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recently published updated recommendations on water safety, recommending that all children should enroll in a learn-to-swim program by the age of 1. Any time kids are around water, designate a “water guardian” who will avoid cell phones, conversations,

and anything else that might distract the adult from watching children. Most children who drown are supervised. Adults should practice “touch supervision” for young swimmers and keep them within an arm’s reach at all times. Many drownings happen during non-swimming times, so make sure that there are barriers to prevent children from accessing water alone. Enroll children in high-quality swim lessons where kids will focus on mastering “water competency skills,” as a few lessons here and there are not enough. Water safety should be top of mind yearround for all families. There are several basic skills that instructors at Goldfish Swim School work on with students every week.

They include Fin, Fin, Belly, Flipper, which works on getting in and out of the pool safely. Help your little ones learn how to get out of the pool by manipulating their bodies in this order: elbow, elbow, tummy, knee. Jump, Turn, Swim to the Wall enables your child to jump off the side of the pool to you, help them physically turn back to the wall and then assist them in getting out of the pool by using the Fin, Fin, Belly, Flipper method. Do this over and over again. As they get more confident, let them go under the water and come to the surface on their own. This teaches kids to automatically turn back to the wall behind them to climb out. If a child were to fall into a pool, this skill could help them find

the quickest way to safety. Last but not least, Rollover/Sea Otter Float helps you work with your child on turning over and getting their faces out of the water to take a breath when he/she fatigues. Floaties, noodles, plastic inner tubes and other water toys do not protect against drowning. Life jackets should be designated as U.S. Coast Guard-approved. It is important to make swimming a family activity, so get lessons for adults who do not learn how to swim and practice swim skills together to keep swimming fun. Children should continue in swim lessons throughout the fall and winter to ensure that they retain these essential skills through consistent practice.

Making Memories With Music

hen I was a child, almost every Sunday morning after bagels, my father drove me to the bar and grill he managed in Newark, NJ. It was called the P.O.N., which stood for the Pride of Newark. One of the things I remember about the P.O.N. is its jukebox. My father gave me coins and I played my favorite song, over and over, week after week. The song was Lloyd Price’s “Personality.” My only public solo musical performance as a child in the 1950s was at a “swim club,” also in Newark, a place with a huge pool and activities for adults and kids. I attended a day camp there. My counselor was a dancer who decided that his campers would put on a dance show for the entire membership of the club, a few hundred parents and kids. I didn’t want to participate in the dance project. Instead I convinced the counselor to let me give a solo performance of Jerry Lee Lewis’ “Great Balls of Fire.” I practiced and practiced, listening to the song over and over on a 45 vinyl turntable record player, performing in front of my mother, who helped me to

HEALTH BRIEF

How To De-stress At Work BY ANN MARIE O’BRIEN editorial@antonmediagroup.com

eeling stressed at work? If so, you’re not alone. A recent Gallup Poll revealed that 55 percent of Americans said they experienced stress “a lot” during the day. In the workplace, stress can affect your attitude, relationships with your colleagues and affect your work performance. And although a modest amount of stress is normal, high levels of stress can be dangerous to your health and may contribute to serious health problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, anxiety and depression. Fortunately, there are ways to help manage stress. Here are five tips to consider that may reduce your workplace stress and get you back on a healthy track preforming at your usual best. Talk to your boss Consider having an open discussion with your boss about the stressors associated with your work responsibilities. Ask if there is an opportunity for additional skills training, or

possibly even restructure your job to make it more manageable and better aligned with your interests and skills. Also, check if your company has an employee assistance program (EAP), which may provide available counseling and online resources. Brush up on your time-management skills We’ve all had days when it seems impossible to get everything done. In some cases, poor time management is the reason we feel this way, which then may trigger stress. For your next work assignment, talk with your supervisor before getting started to plan realistic goals, priorities and deadlines. Take advantage of workplace well-being programs An increasing number of employers are offering well-being programs through their health plan and are making healthier food options available in the workplace. Some employers offer gym reimbursement programs such as UnitedHealthcare’s Gym Check-In,

have onsite workout rooms, stand-up desks, encourage walking meetings and well-being challenges like taking the stairs. Remember, it’s important for both your physical and mental health to combine exercise with a well-balanced diet. Grow your support network If you have a close colleague at work, talk with that person and explain your work stressors and brainstorm possible solutions. If you don’t, then reach out to friends and loved ones. It’s important that you don’t isolate yourself after a stressful event.

Focus on yourself If you’re feeling stress, a simple treat such as going to a movie, enjoying your favorite meal or just getting away to take a brief walk can give you time to unwind and recharge. If you cannot get a handle on your stress, talk to your doctor. He or she may recommend a counselor who could help you find other ways to help reduce or manage the unhealthy stress in your life.

An A+ Recipe Kids Will Love BY JENNIFER FAUCI

Jfauci@antonmediagroup.com

Celebrity chef and owner of Prova Pizzabar, Donatella Arpaia has quite a lot on her plate. In addition to opening her second location of Prova Pizzabar at Moxy NYC Times Square, an upscale quick service pizza concept, she is also busy being a mom to 8-year-old Alessandro and twins, Emma and Noah. As the first day of school rapidly approaches, Arpaia offers her own tips and tricks for getting kids to class with a fun and healthy lunch.

Q A

How do you help get your kids in the mindset of going back to school? I was lucky this time around. My son loves his school and was excited to head back. About a week before school started, I slowly got him back on his sleeping schedule. I also limited his screen time and started implementing the time structure we have during the school year.

eat. It’s also a perfect mix of the same old PB&J, but it’s not too fancy that picky kids will try them and love them.

Q A

Are there any fun snacks you whip up together in the kitchen during the school year? It’s a challenge to get my son to eat, but instead of the constant carbs kids crave, he loves Galbani Ricotta sweetened with a little sugar and vanilla extract, topped with berries and a dollop of whip cream. He is getting dairy, a healthy fat and fresh fruit, plus he thinks it’s dessert. Why do you love the ABC Sandwiches recipe? It’s a fun recipe, the perfect portion size and variety, which is how I observed kids like to

Q A

In your opinion, why is a healthy meal important for children to eat during school? It’s always important for growing kids to eat healthy meals, but especially during the day when we are asking kids to focus, behave and also do physical exercise. They need energy that stays constant and avoid sugar rushes. Are there any kid-friendly menu items from Prova Pizzabar you would recommend to parents? The kids love the pepperoni pizza. It’s always the most requested from the little ones and I take great care in using only the best ingredients. The pepperoni I use is incredible quality, no artificial colors or preservatives. Another favorite is my famous meatballs with garlic knots.

ong Island Arts Alliance (LIAA) will announce the Class of 2020 Scholar-Artist Honorees at a reception hosted by Hon. Roger Tilles, New York State Regent and founder of LIAA, Dr. Marian Conway, chair of LIAA, together with the organization’s Board of Directors, Educators Committee and Program Sponsors. The event takes place on Wednesday, Sept. 11, at Tilles Center for the Performing Arts at LIU Post. The evening’s program will feature performances and exhibitions.

“These students represent the remarkable home-grown talent we have here on Long Island,” noted Roger Tilles, New York State Regent and Long Island Arts Alliance Advisory Board chair. In 2007, Long Island’s school arts administrators, LIAA and Newsday launched the Scholar-Artist Awards program to recognize students judged to be “the best of the best” on Long Island in the arts and academics. Scholar-artists are chosen from five disciplines: Visual Arts, Music, Theater, Dance and Media Arts. The initiative mirrors the region’s Scholar-Athlete programs. LIAA’s Scholar-Artist initiative, now in its 13th year, has named more than 200 Scholar-Artists to date. —Submitted by Long Island Arts Alliance

Back To School Tips T

he transition back to school can be challenging for both children and parents. Even those excited about the return of the school year face adjustments to the pressures and structure brought by a new year. Here are tips to help get back into the groove for the first days of school.

PARENTING MATTERS Graziella Simonetti

Routine

Use the last days of summer to ease children back into a sleep schedule. Every few days, have children go to bed 15 to 20 minutes earlier. This subtle change will be easier than suddenly making bedtime an hour earlier. Begin setting the alarm clock and going through the morning rituals. Include where backpacks, important notices and lunches should be placed. The predictability of routines helps children feel secure.

Organization

Get supplies and fill backpacks a week before school begins. Allow children to choose a few items outside the supply list such as a notebook with their favorite character. Designate a homework spot and organize it to encourage focus. Have your child help arrange it so that it is structured based on his or her specific organization style. Pack lunch the night before. Preparing and freezing meals ahead of time can relieve some stress of the first week of school.

Familiarize

Some teachers welcome emails or classroom visits. Meeting the teacher and locating the classroom (lunchroom, locker, etc.) can help ease anxiety. If this is not possible, look on the school’s website to see if the teacher’s picture is there for your child to see. Try to access a school map online to take a virtual tour. If a welcome letter from the teacher or school is sent, read it together as a family.

Story time

Write a book and make your child the lead character. Use the book to teach strategies to cope with anxiety. If your child is nervous about making friends, in the story have your child

go up to other students and say, “Hi, I am ____. What is your name?” or “My name is ____. Can I play with you? Do you want to share my toys?” Help kids read facial expressions. Encourage your child to illustrate the book or to name characters to help them feel more connected to the story. In the story, the situation should be resolved. Read the book often to raise confidence and competence.

Connect to home

Send young children to school with transitional objects. This can be any meaningful item that represents home (a blanket/stuffed animal/toy). Leave pictures of family in their backpack to look at when sad. For older children, leave a note in their lunch box with some words of encouragement.

Model

Children respond to your energy. Model anxiety management strategies so that they understand that it is okay to be nervous but that there are ways to calm oneself. Reinforce their ability to cope by discussing other times they have been nervous and how they have successfully dealt with it. Point out positive parts of a new year such as seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

SPORTS PARENTS

Don’t Stretch Yourself Out

here are many reasons to celebrate moms and dads this back-to-school season, not the least of which is their selfless commitment to contributing so much of their precious time and hard-earned money to their children’s after-school and weekend youth sports activities. And let’s face it, parents of kids involved in sports have a lot on their plate during the busy fall season, like driving to practices after school and games on Saturdays, washing seemingly endless amounts of dirty laundry, planning for the entire season calendar, packing snacks and meal prepping. It is a stressful job to be a sports parent. Not surprisingly, as children participate in more and more organized team sports, both the time and the financial commitment that are needed from parents have skyrocketed. FlipGive is a team-funding platform that has helped more than 35,000 youth sports teams and clubs across North America raise $20 million and recently surveyed 1,000 American sports parents to get their take on the return to school while offering tips on how to de-stress.

Establish sleeping schedules and routines now to ease the transition For parents of kids who play school sports, the time commitment associated with their child’s sports involvement is the number one cause of stress when school sports season starts back up. Reduce this stress by setting aside ample time for you and your kids to catch up on sleep when they aren’t scoring goals and you aren’t shuttling them around town from the field, to the court or to the rink.

Organize the sports calendars now

Proper meal-prep and snacks are crucial

Parents of kids who play on school sports teams said they were 33 percent more stressed about the start of the new school year than parents of kids who don’t play on school sports teams. Treat your kid’s sports schedule like you do your work meetings and weekend social events, and add their practices and games to your calendar and mobile device.

It’s no secret that young athletes are growing and usually hungry, and 95 percent of parents with kids who play school sports said it’s a top priority for them to ensure their kids have nutritional meals and snacks throughout their school day to maximize their endurance and performance. Find some healthy, protein-packed snacks that your kids like, and stick with them. A big part of success on the field is routine, and the less your child has to worry about, the better.

It turns out sports parents have very different goals for their youngster’s athletic involvement. For moms, the top goal for their child is to have fun while sports dads’ top priority is for their child to learn teamwork and leadership skills. With all of these goals in mind this back-to-school season, try and remember that a big part of youth sports is helping your child grow into a well-rounded, respectful adult who knows how to handle wins, losses and adversity.

Carpool with other parents

Set up a back-to-school carpool with other parents who have kids that play on the same team as your child in advance of the first day to cut down on last-minute planning and to avoid getting your child to practice late. —Submitted by FlipGive

New Yorkers To Vote For New License Plate

overnor Andrew M. Cuomo recently launched a statewide survey to select New York State’s new license plate design. The voting, which is now open on the governor’s website, runs through Sept. 2, and will allow New Yorkers to choose their favorite among the five proposed designs. Voting will also be available to the public at the governor’s exhibit at the Great New York State Fair, also running through Sept. 2. The license plate with the most votes will become the state’s official license plate and will be available to customers beginning April 2020. “License plates are a symbol of who we are as a state and New Yorkers should have a voice and a vote in its final design,” Cuomo said. “As the life span of the old plates comes to an end and we develop new ones that are as easy to read as possible, I encourage all residents to take part in choosing this

ensure all New York license plates on the roadways are reflective and easy to read. Currently, more than 3 million vehicles in New York State have aging plates that are 10 years old or older. Because of their age, many of them are damaged, oxidized and peeling, making it difficult or impossible to read the license plate number. Having a license plate that is legible reduces a motorist’s risk of being pulled over and cited for having an illegible license plate. The program also supports the governor’s efforts to modernize New York’s expansive transportation system. Replacing aging plates will eliminate legibility issues that hinder license plate readers, which are used by law enforcement, red light cameras and cashless tolling systems, from correctly identifying the registered vehicle owner. Beginning in April 2020, through the plate replacement program, as customers

piece of our state’s history and the State Fair is a perfect place to do that.” The new plates will replace the aging empire blue and white plates, most of which are more than 10 years old. Once the new plates become available, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will also stop issuing the Empire Gold plates and begin fully transitioning to the new design. “The time has come for New York to have a new license plate, which is why we worked hard to create design options that not only capture the heart of the Empire State, but also that our customers will be proud to put on their vehicles,” said Department of Motor Vehicles Commissioner Mark J. F. Schroeder said. “I hope everyone across the state will take a few minutes to view the options and vote for their top pick.” The contest kicks off a new 10-year license plate replacement program to

renew their vehicle registrations over the next two years, those with license plates that are 10-years-old or older will be issued new plates. The current $25 license plate replacement fee will be added to the cost of the vehicle owner’s registration renewal. Customers may also keep their current license plate number for an additional $20 fee. Plate issuance begins for both original issuance and renewals on April 1, 2020. In addition to the state’s official license plate, the DMV offers more than 200 custom license plates, many of which support charitable causes and organizations. A complete list of available custom plates can be found on the DMV’s website at www.dmv.ny.gov/plates/ plates. Visit the website at ny.gov to vote. You must be a New York State resident to vote and you may only vote once. —New York State

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direction but always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 32 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND Radio waves

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Social interaction is so important to self-development this week. There’s no way to simulate it. No theoretical knowledge could ever replicate the unpredictable course of human interaction. You can never duplicate the knowledge that comes from braving the wilderness of socializing. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People think they know what they want, but they are often far from the mark in this regard. Furthermore, what you feel compelled to offer will be received differently over time than it was initially. The best you can give is what you instinctively wish to, as there’s wisdom that will stretch beyond the giving moment. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). To take things seriously without taking them personally is respectful, and it’s a state of mind that will help you be extremely productive this week. If you don’t want to take things too seriously, you’ll still get a lot done. But if you take things very personally, it will slow down progress and be tough on relationships. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Hopefully, those who tell you what to do know a lot more than you do about the situation. If you believe that, then you’ll do as they say. If you don’t, then you’re better off using your judgment. You have as good an idea as any about the situations that come up this week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The way you are moment to moment brings joy to people around you. You’re paying attention and finding opportunities to bring people together. This is just a natural stance in the world, with no agenda attached to it, though many interesting things develop out of your open attitude this week. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Don’t worry too much about feelings this week. Even though they are important to your experience, right now they are too precarious and uncontrollable to be used as a proper metric to guide your journey. Let action be your primary teacher, not feelings. Make the effort; note the response; repeat. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Make an assertion and share it. Not only will you find out if what you think is wrong, right, popular or unpopular, you’ll also find out, quite simply, what you think. Until you have to put your thoughts into words, they’re rather amorphous. The best work you’ll do this week is the work of expressing yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Just remember that no one is always one way. We may have core character qualities, but there are many layers above those qualities, some as flexible as chameleon scales. This week, different environments will bring out changes in people that can be as drastic as a great actor’s transformation to suit a new role. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A simple attitude adjustment will improve much, though this week is much more likely to include a slightly complicated attitude adjustment. You know you’re right, but making the other person wrong will get you nowhere. Pride will be swallowed, thoughts changed, inroads paved. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Deciding who you are seems to happen on a moment-to-moment basis, but really these small decisions are automatic reactions to something you decided a few miles back on life’s path. It will be prudent to return to that decision and change your mind. It will reset your entire direction. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Attitude and attention impact everything that happens this week. Question your attitude to find out what purpose it might be serving. Flow your attention to helpful and workable solutions instead of to problems that can’t be solved. The practical people around you will provide support and fun. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Love is a high-stakes game. It doesn’t start out that way -- lighthearted connections, casually shared experiences. Yet, before you know it, the heart has invested itself, extending one heartstring after another in a bond that was meant to be braided but inevitably winds up in a tangle that cannot be undone.

Your smile sets people at ease. When you’re comfortable, everyone feels better. Your joy spreads. Are these good enough reasons to do what makes you happy? Initially, people may have to adjust, as they may be surprised by what you want to do. Because you’ve been so amenable to suggestion, they have made assumptions that you liked all of the same things they like, which is, of course, improbable. You’ll become increasingly yourself and loved all the more for it.

Ozian Collectibles

BY JENNIFER FAUCI

JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

nickknacks and tchotchkes and trinkets, oh my! For avid Hollywood fans, props, memorabilia and any item that serves as the hallmark to a classic film is a must-showcase in the home. And if you are a diehard fanatic, chances are you will have literally anything with the cast on it. From figurines and clothing to buttons and posters, The Wizard of Oz logo and iconic images run the gamut of collectibles.

Dolls

Mattel’s collection of Wizard of Oz Barbie dolls were collectors’ items when they came out in the 1990s and 2000s, but now they are even more rare. Although the characters have been redesigned a few times, Barbie and Ken still star as Dorothy, Glinda the Good Witch, The Tin Man, The Cowardly Lion, The Scarecrow and the Wicked Witch of the West. While you can view the dolls on Mattel’s website, you may have to search eBay and other collectors’ sites to buy them, however.

Figurines

If you collect Lenox, then these figurines are a must-add to your collection. With a hefty price tag of $1,600 for all four, Dorothy, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion and Tin Man have been crafted of hand-painted Lenox Ivory China and accented with 24 Karat Gold.

Music Box

Relive one of your favorite tunes from the film with this gorgeous music box by Ardleigh Elliott and the Bradford Exchange. Available

for $59.99 at www.lifetime collectibles.com. Expertly crafted of the finest materials, including richly finished wood, metals with brass finishes, artist’s resin and crystalline, the music box plays to the beloved melody of “We’re Off To See The Wizard.”

Plates

This Porcelain Masterpiece Collector Plate is a lovely addition to your china cabinet. Handcrafted of heirloom porcelain, this limited-edition collector plate

showcases the film’s entire cast as well as features a montage of eight scenes from the movie. Other details include a yellow brick road outer border that is embellished with 22K gold and an emerald-green inner border with 22K gold filigree. Available for $149.99 on the Bradford Exchange website.

Book Collection

When the first Oz book was published in 1900, it was unlike anything in the history of American culture. L. Frank Baum’s literary treasure is now available in the form of an entire series—15 volumes to be exact. The replica series of Wizard of Oz books is authentic to the first editions of The Wizard of Oz book series. It also includes a three-piece Wizard of Oz bookend set. Issue One, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, is also hand-signed by Baum’s great-grandson. Published by Charles Winthrope & Sons, this collective set is available for $49.99 on the Bradford Exchange website.

Book Ends

The perfect way to complete your Wizard of Oz collection is, of course, with a pair of ruby red slipper bookends. These ceramic bookends are available for $21.95 each at Walmart.

Lenox figurines

Ruby Red Slippers

Every little girl had a pair of ruby red slippers growing up and now, you can get an adult pair for yourself. This heeled version is available at Target for $31, but for those who want to keep to the comfier side of the yellow brick road, check out Amazon for these Snoozies Ballerina sequin slippers for $14.99.

Pins

BEHIND THE SCENES

Dark Side Of Oz BY KIMBERLY DIJKSTRA

KDIJKSTRA@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

or the past 80 years, The Wizard of Oz has brought joy to millions. The 1939 film is universally regarded as a masterpiece that celebrates the virtues of home, family, friendship, selflessness and love. However, the making of this beloved classic was far from the splendor that appears on screen. Here are some of the dark tales and rumors that have emerged over the years.

The Pressure of the Ruby Slippers Judy Garland’s legend started on the set of The Wizard of Oz. Seeing her talent and potential, MGM used the film to catapult her to stardom, and it worked. But her experience making the movie was rough on her and affected the rest of her life. At age 16, Garland was not only supporting her family on her $500 a week salary, but the livelihood of hundreds of actors, crew members and studio employees rested on her shoulders and she knew it. As a performer from a young age, Garland was never allowed to be a regular child or teenager. The studio insidiously hired an assistant for her, Betty Asher, who feigned friendship with Garland while reporting her every move to studio heads and destructively meddling in her love life. The Dorothy in Baum’s book is a child of 12. Garland was forced to wear a painful corset to flatten her chest to appear to be a preteen in her iconic blue gingham pinafore. Head of MGM Louis Mayer callously criticized her weight and put her on a strict diet of chicken broth and not much else. The studio had spies everywhere to make sure she didn’t eat solid foods. Mayer left her with more than a lifelong eating disorder. In 1938, studio physician Edward B. Jones began to feed Benzedrine, an amphetamine, to Garland. The drug provided long-lasting bursts of energy, requiring a barbiturate to “come down” and sleep, creating a cycle of dependency. Her studio-sponsored drug use intensified in the following years, harming her health and her career. Physically exhausted, Garland called out sick too many times from post-Oz projects, and in 1950, MGM fired her. Garland, saddled with an eating disorder and drug problem from her days as a child star, was very unhappy for much of her life. On June 22, 1969, Garland died of an accidental drug overdose.

The makeup was applied to Haley’s face as a paste instead of a dust to avoid inhalation. However, the aluminum paste made its way into Haley’s eye and caused a severe infection. Luckily, doctors stopped the infection before it permanently damaged his sight. Ebsen suffered lung problems for the rest of his life. Actors had to come to set in the wee hours of the morning for costumes and makeup. Most were cumbersome and uncomfortable, but none more so than the Cowardly Lion’s lion suit. It was made from real lion hide, weighed 70 pounds and covered nearly every inch of Bert Lahr’s body. Under the sizzling hot Technicolor lights, wearing that costume was stifling to the point Lahr described it as wearing “a wet mattress” and it smelled exactly as you’d expect, or worse.

Get The Water Bucket!

No Place Like The Hospital Buddy Ebsen, first hired as the Scarecrow and replaced by Ray Bolger, took on the role of the Tin Woodman and probably lived—barely lived, that is—to regret it. The Tin Woodman costume required a coating of silver aluminum dust layered over clownwhite makeup. When breathed in or ingested, aluminum is toxic and decreases the amount of oxygen in the body. Nine days into principal photography, on top of many days of makeup tests, Ebsen was gripped by shortness of breath. Combined with the restrictive costume, which forced him to stand the entire day, he had trouble taking a full breath and felt as though his

Ebsen remained in the hospital for two weeks and spent the next month recuperating. In the meantime, studio executives assumed Ebsen was faking sick or exaggerating his symptoms. Without being informed, Ebsen was replaced by Jack Haley, who called it “the most horrendous job in the world with those cumbersome uniforms and the hours of makeup.”

Though not the first choice for the role, Margaret Hamilton was a talented actress with experience playing the Wicked Witch in stage productions predating MGM’s adaptation. The script suggested that the Witch’s entrances and exits be accompanied by smoke and flame. Despite careful choreography and rehearsal, while filming the scene when the Witch appears in Munchkinland, Hamilton’s face and cape caught on fire. Her green makeup made of copper oxide fueled the flames against her skin and she was badly burned on her face and hands. When the makeup artist removed the green paint with alcohol, Hamilton experienced pain worse than anything she had ever experienced in her life. When she returned six weeks later, she was expected to sit on a broomstick designed to bellow black smoke. A smart lady, she refused to go anywhere near smoke or fire again. Hamilton’s stunt double Betty Danko, who was already hurt during rehearsal,

stepped in. On the third take, the smoke pipe exploded and Danko was blown sideways off the saddle. She wound up with a two-inch deep wound in her leg and spent eleven days in the hospital. The flying monkeys weren’t safe either. During the monkeys’ entrance into the Haunted Forest, two actors sustained minor injuries when the piano wire they were swinging from snapped and they plunged to the floor.

Approximately 125 little people were hired to portray Munchkins in the land of Oz. Many were familiar with showbiz, but most were discovered far from Hollywood and brought in from the East Coast. On set, they had to deal with condescension from the crew, being treated like children or little dolls. Due to the intricacy of the costumes, many of the Munchkin actors had to face the humiliation of being helped to use the bathroom by hired assistants. The Munchkins were regarded as bizarre outsiders both at work and on their days off. Gossip columnist Hedda Hopper painted the Munchkins as a menace. As years went on, the stories became more elaborate, escalating to “Munchkin orgies.” Judy Garland even perpetuated this rumor in a 1967 television interview. The truth is the diminutive actors behaved as any tourists would, sightseeing, taking day trips and hitting nightspots. Stories of Munchkins as troublemakers are greatly exaggerated. Another persistent rumor insists that an unidentified Munchkin hanged himself on set and footage of the event made it into the final cut. Variations on this rumor allow the mystery person to be an Oz producer, a director’s daughter, or a suicidal grip. Though several actors and stunt people were seriously injured on set, nobody died, by suicide or otherwise. No Munchkins, producers, children of directors or grips were unaccounted for when the picture wrapped. Though Oz conspiracy theorists will not want to hear it, the “hanging Munchkin” was actually a bird—a Sarus Crane rented from a zoo. According to some, the first VHS release of The Wizard of Oz shows

a swinging body in the background during “We’re Off to See the Wizard” which was subsequently replaced by a bird upon DVD release. The origin of this rumor can be traced back to a YouTube video hoax.

A Horse of a Different Color Without the luxury of CGI, props and special effects designers in the 1930s had to get clever. Jell-O crystals were used inside the Wicked Witch’s hourglass and sponged onto horses to give them color when paints and dyes failed. The concoction tasted so good, the horses liked to lick it off themselves. Reapplication was frequently necessary. Why is this in an article about the dark side of Oz? Do you know what Jell-O is made from?

Sync Up As urban legend has it, if you play Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon LP simultaneously with The Wizard of Oz (with the sound turned down), you’ll find that they sync up perfectly. This trick has been blowing the minds of stoners and trippers for decades. Start the album, on vinyl, of course, as the MGM lion roars and let the synchronization begin. You’ll be in for a treat as the psychedelic rock tracks ebb and flow over Dorothy’s great adventure. Though there is absolutely no evidence that Pink Floyd was inspired by or influenced by The Wizard of Oz at all when composing this number one album, it’s not a bad way to spend a Saturday night.

LITERATURE

L. Frank Baum The Wizard Behind The Wizard of Oz BY JOE SCOTCHIE JSCOTCHIE@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

“I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.” That line from 1939’s The Wizard of Oz is one of the most famous in the history of the movies, right up there with “I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse,” “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn” and “May the force be with you.” But before the movie, came the book. The film launched the career of the young Judy Garland, but the book, first published in 1900, marked the end of a long apprenticeship for its author, L. Frank Baum, a born storyteller who finally realized that putting those stories down on paper might hold handsome dividends. Baum traveled a long and curious road to fame and fortune. The heir to a wealthy Upstate New York family, he was born in 1856 on an estate near Syracuse. Baum benefited from his comfortable

L. Frank Baum (1856-1919) served for two years as a cadet at the Peekskill Military School. He was about 12 years old in this 1868 photograph.

upbringing. His parents hired tutors from England as the young man’s teachers. Baum was prolific even at a young age. He read through the works of William Shakespeare and Charles Dickens. At age 14, his father bought him a printing press. The young Baum began writing and publishing his own newspaper; he also formed his own theater company. Baum and his wife, Maud, would eventually become the parents of four boys. However, the man couldn’t settle down. Baum, in time, would be in line for a handsome inheritance, which probably explained his reckless behavior. Over the years, he worked as a salesman, a newspaper editor and a storefront designer, while publishing books on breeding chickens and window decorating that didn’t sell. He moved his family to South Dakota, where he opened a general store and became the editor of the local newspaper. Restless as always, Baum moved his family again, this time to Chicago, where he continued his newspaper work. The family arrived in the Windy City in 1893, the same year that Chicago hosted the World’s Fair. The fair was an enormous success, attracting visitors from around the world as exhibitors showed off their latest inventions. It was a time of great optimism and the city’s energy fueled Baum’s always-fertile imagination. Baum, as noted, was also a born storyteller. Not only did he entertain his family; his stories always found an audience among neighborhood children. At long last, Baum, on the advice of his mother-inlaw, began putting his stories into words. At night, when his family was asleep, Baum would retire to his study and write in longhand. His first book in the new style, Adventures in Phunnyland, had to wait seven years before finding a publisher. The World’s Fair contained a spectacular exhibit area, known as the White City. For millions of visitors, the White City seemed like an enchanted place. It also influenced Baum’s writing. When the man began writing the story “The Emerald City,” he was inspired by the White City. The story evolved into “From Kansas to Fairyland” and finally, to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Baum was at the end of his rope. He hired an artist, William Wallace Denslow, to do illustrations. Baum even paid for the book’s production. At Christmastime 1900, the Baum family were in their familiar dire straits. Maud

asked her husband’s publisher for a loan, but what the family received instead was a check for several thousand dollars in royalties. The Wizard of Oz was a success. Baum moved his family one last time, from cold and snowy Chicago to California’s sunshine. He purchased a mansion in Hollywood and continued his prolific ways. Over the next 20 years, Baum went on to publish 13 more Oz books, including The Marvelous Land of Oz (1904), The Emerald City of Oz (1910) and in the year of his death, The Magic of Oz (1919). In addition to the Oz franchise, Baum published 41 other novels, 83 short stories, more than 200 poems and up to 42 scripts. Since the movie came out in 1939, some critics have claimed that the “wizard” Dorothy and her friends were off to see was Franklin D. Roosevelt, president of the United States. However, the novel was written in 1900, well before Roosevelt got involved in electoral politics. Other critics have noted the appearances of television, laptop computers and wireless telephones in his work, making Baum a canny observer of 20th-century life and the technological progress it would bring. “If I am to do any good in the world, my highest ambition will be to make children happy,” the father of four declared when the first Oz novel was published. “The imaginative child,” he later added,” will become the imaginative man or woman, most apt to create, to invent, and therefore to foster civilization.” JOY DIDONATO Director of Circulation LINDA BACCOLI Director of Business Administration
