Cookin’ Up Gangsters In The Kitchen Our exclusive: Andrea Berloff talks all-female mob film, directorial debut By Christina Claus cclaus@antonmediagroup.com

elissa McCarthy. Tiffany Haddish. Elisabeth Moss. Holy crap. Two of the biggest names in comedy have joined forces with the star of The Handmaid’s Tale to become gangsters. The three traveled back to 1978 Hell’s Kitchen for their new film, The Kitchen, which follows mob wives Kathy (McCarthy), Ruby (Haddish) and Claire (Moss) as they figure out how to deal with their husbands being sent to prison by the FBI. Having been accustomed to being supported by their husbands, the three are shocked to realize the remaining members of the gang they belong to won’t help them, so they must learn to help

themselves. The three band together to seize control of their husbands’ businesses, rising to power as gangsters. “I think we’ve never seen a true mob movie with women at the center of it,” said writer and director Andrea Berloff, who was previously nominated for an Oscar as a screenwriter on Straight Outta Compton. “That mashup has never happened. Women are always caricatures in traditional mob movies—they’re the wives, the girlfriends, but the story has never revolved around them. And so that to me was just revolutionary and that was something I thought our audiences were just going to respond to. People are craving something fresh and unique and that’s what this is. Even from the very beginning, that was my intent.”

The Kitchen is based on a DC Vertigo comic book series of the same title by Ollie Masters and Ming Doyle, which Berloff received from the studio in February 2016. “I loved it,” she said. “I thought it was so fresh and so interesting and the idea of a true crime gangster movie with women at the heart of it in an interesting and different way was so compelling to me. I signed on at that point to do just the screenplay, so I did that for them and they were happy with it. Then they wanted to hire a director and I said to them, ‘Give me a chance to meet as a director. I’d love to have that opportunity,’ and then they were nice enough to hire me.”

KITCHEN from page 3A Berloff explained that while she had to tell a great story like a “little one-woman show” to get the writing gig, to nab her directorial debut she had to pitch what the movie would look like and sound like. “I had tons of photos and slides that I shared with them about the costumes and the hair and the sets and the cars, and also from the beginning music was always going to be a big piece of the puzzle and so I handed out USB drives with playlists on them to the executives to set this feeling for how the movie was going to sound like,” Berloff said. To shoot the film, 1970s Hell’s Kitchen was recreated by production designers. Workable streetscapes were found and modern buildings were dressed in signage and sets to reflect the era. Period cars from a Chevy Nova to a Dodge Aspen filled the streets and skylines were digitally adjusted and augmented. In order to capture the graphic novel style, Berloff and the production team took a noir approach. “If you like the comic book and you like 1978 gritty New York gangster movies, we’ve got one for you,” the writer/director said. “I first and

I included the original writers. I tried to include them as much as humanly possible just so that they were part of the process, because it started with them. I got their blessing to take their fantastic work and turn it into a movie. I feel very strongly that a book is a book and a movie is a movie and they have to live in two separate spaces, so you have to be able to let the movie breathe and be its own thing.” Using the comic book, which is set around three white women—two of whom are sisters—as a jumping-off point, Berloff decided to make some changes for the crime drama. “With coming off of Straight Outta Compton at the time that I was sent the comic book, I just didn’t want to make a movie about three white women and I felt I could continue having a conversation of race through this movie, so I created the role of Ruby and off of Ruby came this idea it would be fun to have a difficult mother-in-law, so then along comes the character of Helen, so I definitely had the freedom to go in lots of directions,” explained Berloff, who also noted that the most rewarding part of making the film was the respectful environment that was created. While Berloff didn’t envision any specific actresses while writing the screenplay, the three work in harmony to create the dramatic vibe of the film. “We had to make sure we were adhering to the genre, which is a crime story, so there were moments

of humor that pop out, but it’s very dark humor that’s purposely put there to relieve the tension at some of the more difficult moments,” Berloff said of what it was like to bring the three together tone-wise, being that McCarthy and Haddish are known for their comedic brilliance. “When we were working on the editing, anytime we were too far into one direction or the other we had to bring it back and remind ourselves what genre we were working in.” While on screen is a serious crime drama, behind the scenes seemed like anything but. Berloff recalled a moment on set where the three were shooting a serious scene on the streets of New York when a car rolled by loudly playing Dr. Dre. While at first the lead females tried to pretend they couldn’t hear the music, Moss and Haddish broke character and began laughing and dancing. “It was as fun as you would think and I’m not kidding,” Berloff said. “It is not every day you get to have a front seat to two of the funniest ladies in America tearing it up with each other and they really genuinely did. We’d be in these very serious scenes and then we’d yell cut and everybody would start dancing and cracking each other up. It was really joyful. It was one of the best experiences of my life.” McCarthy, Haddish and Moss started serving up mob life in The Kitchen, presented by New Line Cinema and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, in theaters on Aug. 9.

Orange Forever

Villain of Netflix’s hit show reflects on final season with Anton editor BY CHRISTINA CLAUS

cclaus@antonmediagroup.com

“She’s a manipulative bitch.” That’s how Beth Dover describes her character Linda Ferguson, or “Linda from purchasing,” on Netflix’s self-proclaimed most-watched original, Orange Is The New Black (OITNB), which is kind of comical upon meeting Dover, who is witty and charming in comparison. According to Netflix, more than 105 million households have tuned in to at least one episode of the show that exposes the prison-industrial complex and tackles issues from race and gender to immigration. Throughout the show’s seven seasons, with the final having arrived on Netflix with 13 bingeable episodes on July 26, viewers have watched along as their favorite characters were killed, riots broke out and injustice was committed both in the “SHOE” and out. Dover’s character, who at first seemed like a cog in the machine of PolyCon Corrections (formerly MCC), is later used to expose the greed of private prisons as she manipulates her way to the top and attempts to cut costs every chance she can get from changing the prison’s food for a cheaper, premade option to opening up an immigration detention center just to receive federal funding and increase the company’s stock. “I flew myself out because I was like, ‘This is the best show on TV, I love it so much. I’m going out there, I don’t care if it costs me money.’ I was psyched,” said Dover, whose husband Joe Lo Truglio stars as Charles Boyle on Brooklyn Nine-Nine. “I thought I was going to be in one episode of season three and then I was in season four and they kept asking me to do another episode in season four and then I was like, ‘What’s happening?’” In the beginning, Dover thought Linda was just “a socially tone-deaf white lady,” she joked. But the creator, Jenji Kohan, developed the character into a full-fledged villain, having viewers question who the real criminals were—the women in prison trying to survive or the prison guards playing fantasy sport draft with the inmates, scoring points for fights and deaths, and the private prison executives cutting as many programs and amenities at the prison as possible to increase their profits. “It’s so fun,” Dover said of playing the villain. “And I think it gets to the heart of what the show’s about, so if I have to be the villain to express how terrible the prison industrial complex is or ICE or all the things that have been happening, then so be it. I’m honored to be part of telling the story and starting the cultural conversation.” Although Dover proclaimed Linda to be “about 82 percent bad,” she thought her character would have a change of heart after she accidentally became part of the prison riot and saw how the inmates were living. But this wasn’t the case. After being betrayed by Joe Caputo, former romantic interest and warden

Linda Ferguson (Beth Dover, right) introduces Natalie “Fig” Figueroa (Alysia Reiner) to the new immigration detention center. (Photos by Netﬂix) of the prison, Linda, who was masquerading as an inmate to survive the riot, was taken to the maximum-security prison, where she had her head shaved. “I think that was satisfying to viewers and I just felt bad for some of the background players who were actually getting their head shaved because I was wearing a bald cap. They asked me to, but I said no. I don’t know what my head is shaped like. There could be weird things under there that I don’t know about,” Dover laughed.

The sixth season ended with Linda opening an immigration detention center, and Dover explained that Kohan created the seventh season before detention centers became prevalent in national news. “All of that happened before everything,” said Dover of Kohan’s creation. “Obviously, it was happening, but before it became such giant national news. It’s just so timely, so relevant. That’s why it’s such an honor to be on this show because I feel like it goes there and deals with things that are actually happening in society and really just shifts the

Novelists In Their Youth Hemingway, Faulkner and Wolfe come of age By JOE sCOtChiE

he year 1929 still causes dread, if not in the mind of the public, then at least among the minions on Wall Street. “Black Tuesday,” Oct. 29, saw the United States lose $14 billion in wealth, hurtling the nation into an economic depression that lasted until World War II. Nineteen twenty-nine had something else going for it. It was a year of unprecedented creativity in American letters. Three masterpieces—Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms, William Faulkner’s The Sound and The Fury and Thomas Wolfe’s Look Homeward, Angel—were all published within months of each other. One house (Scribner’s) and one editor (Maxwell Perkins) were responsible for Hemingway and Wolfe’s novels. Hemingway’ first novel, The Sun Also Rises and his short story collection, Men Without Women had

made him a publishing sensation. Added to that was the Hemingway image, now being studiously crafted by Scribner’s: The young expatriate who loved to hunt, fish and fight in battle. Hemingway was a writer who refused to waste a single word. Deep revisions were preferable to even a whiff of overwriting. A Farewell to Arms is a more powerful novel than The Sun Also Rises. Still, the lead character, an American ambulance driver, Frederic Henry was not as sympathetic a character as Jake Barnes, hero of the first novel. Barnes, too, was a veteran. He was disabled in The Great War, but working as a journalist in Paris, he harbors no self-pity. A Farewell to Arms tells the ill-fated love story between Henry and a British nurse, Catherine Barkley. The latter gets pregnant and then loses both the son and her own life. Henry is young enough and battle-hardened enough to get over it.

The Future Of Print Old dolphin learns newest trick in the bookstore

BY RUDY MALCOM

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

espite the tides of modern times, Port Washington’s very own literary dolphin has managed to ride the waves of change. The Dolphin Bookshop and Café, founded in 1946, began as a small bookstore by the train station. After more than 20 years on Port Washington Boulevard, Dolphin nearly doubled its square footage, moving in 2010 to the corner of Main Street and Shore Road—the nexus of two of Port’s busiest roads. In just under a decade, Dolphin has transformed itself into a community hub on the waterfront. “How do we manage?” asked owner Judith Mitzner. “Mostly, just barely, but where there’s a will, there’s a way.” Alongside carefully handpicked titles for all ages sit an array of gifts and toys. The treat-filled café features free music performances every Friday evening. Dolphin hosts not only author visits, book clubs and poetry readings, but also birthday parties, bridal showers and a different local artist’s work each month, along with PTA meetings and tarot card readings. A psychic medium is “becoming a bit of a fixture here, too,” Mitzner said. This just might be what it takes for an independent bookstore to survive in 2019. “In this day and age, part of being a bookstore is being a piece of the community on multiple levels,” Mitzner said. “People have to want to keep you in business because, obviously, there are other ways of getting books.” Throughout the 1990s, recounts The New York Times, Barnes & Noble “slashed book prices to lows that its competitors could not match and helped put struggling independent booksellers out of business across the United States.” But in the wake of Amazon, this strategy has proved less successful. Following recent struggles to turn a profit, the country’s largest bookstore chain announced in June that it would be acquired by the hedge fund Elliott Management for about $683 million. By contrast, Mitzner notes that “independent bookstores are on the rise,” though “not on Long Island,” she added. E-books, though initially lauded for their portability and accessibility, are declining in popularity. According to the Association of American Publishers, sales of digital books fell by 3.6 percent in 2018, whereas paperback scales increased by 1.1 percent and hardback sales 6.9 percent. “The luxury of a comfortable chair and the physical act of turning the pages of a book cannot be replicated digitally,” said local author Patricia Ryan Lampl. “It is hard for me to imagine a world where a bookstore is a digital kiosk. The publishing world is clearly heading in that direction.” Katrina Wasserman, an undergraduate at the New School, who fondly recalls attending Dolphin’s books signings as a child, predicts that printed books will become less available—but “not obsolete”—because they’re “not nearly as sustainable” as digitized ones. Mitzner believes that printed books will continue

to exist in the future because of readers’ affinity for their physicality. Maria Kogan, an undergraduate at Columbia University who grew up in Port, agreed, adding that for her, Dolphin is “more than a bookstore.” “It’s really special to visit Dolphin,” she said, “and always run into other students and families.” Similarly, Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth commended Dolphin for being “community-minded.” “When I need to send a baby gift, I go to Dolphin,” she said. “They help me put together a basket of treasures.” Perhaps it is this personal touch, which Dolphin also provides to customers looking for new reads, that corporate and online booksellers are lacking. “We walk around the store with each customer,” Manager Robin Appel said. Appel attributed Dolphin’s success to its unique selection process, which Mitzner characterized as a “trial-and-error type thing.” “We have some great books, which are not necessarily on The New York Times Best-Seller list,” Appel said. “We get books that we know would sell to our customers.” For example, though romance novels often appear on the Best Seller List, Mitzner observes that customers don’t seem to buy them, preferring “literary fiction” instead. Political nonfiction has also become more marketable at Dolphin, Appel said, noting that readers are increasingly “interested in getting to the bottom of things.” Mitzner added that Dolphin’s frequent buyer program lets customers accumulate points that translate to coupons for future purchases. Many customers, she finds, are urbanites who move to Port to raise their children. “There’s a sigh of relief when they enter our store,” she said, “because it reminds them of things that they can see in the city.” And in the past couple years, Appel has noticed a “whole generation of young moms” seeking to instill a love of reading in their children. “We’re counting on those people to be plentiful,” Mitzner said somberly. Yet she hopes for—and expects—a “resurgence of local interest.” She pointed to the many empty stores that dot Main Street, where high rent is often an insurmountable struggle. “As more and more stores close, people are going to say, ‘Oh my gosh. Our town is dying,’” she said. “Part of the beauty of this place is the character that Main Street provides.” Lampl echoed Mitzner’s sentiments, arguing that Dolphin “embodies the sense of community that makes Port Washington an enviable place to live.” Bosworth stressed the importance of shopping locally. “I can’t think of a better business to support than Dolphin,” she said.

OBITUARY

Former County Supervisor Gulotta Dead At 75

BY MIKE ADAMS

FULL RUN

madams@antonmediagroup.com

ormer Nassau County Executive Thomas Gulotta died on Sunday, Aug 4, in Oceanside. He was 75 years old. Gulotta served as county executive from 1987 to 2001, the second-longest tenure of anyone to hold that position. During his time in office, he endeared himself to voters with the personal touch he brought to politics. His early years brought lower property taxes for residents and the establishment of the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City, two of the measures that helped push his approval rating above 70 percent. The success of his early years did not translate to the final part of his stint, however. The executive’s tenure ended with the county in steep debt, and Gulotta was maligned by both parties for what his critics saw as fiscal mismanagement after nearly a decade of freezing tax increases. At the turn of the millennium, the county was near bankruptcy, and New York State created the Nassau Interim Financial Authority (NIFA) to provide financial aid. By the time Gulotta left office, his approval rating had sunk below 20 percent. Still, those who worked with him remember Gulotta as a dedicated public servant who always had time for county residents.

Suozzi (D-Glen Cove), who succeeded Gulotta as county executive until 2009, expressed his admiration for his predecessor’s cordial political demeanor after hearing of his passing. “Tom Gulotta’s death signals the official end of an era,” Suozzi said in a statement. “He was a true gentleman who came up in Nassau government during a time of growth and prosperity. He was never nasty or divisive and always made a point of asking how my family was whenever I saw him. My deepest sympathy to his wife and family.” Current County Executive Laura Curran, who ordered flags be flown at half mast in Gulotta’s honor, also weighed in on his passing. “Tom was a dedicated husband, father and public Former Nassau County Executive Tom Gulotta servant,” Curran said in a statement. “In his career (right, with Town of Huntington Supervisor Chad in government that spanned over four decades, Lupinacci) attended an induction ceremony for Town of Oyster Bay officials back in January, 2018.

Get The Fever

THEATER

Saturday Night Fever plays at Engeman Theater through Sept. 1

ased on the 1977 blockbuster film, Saturday Night Fever whisks you back to the 1970s, where open shirts, bell-bottoms and disco were all the rage. Featuring music by the Bee Gees, this musical adaptation of the classic film is the story of a talented, streetwise kid from Brooklyn who attempts to escape his dead-end life through dancing. Michael Notardonato portrays Tony Manero, the role made famous by John Travolta. “He’s a 19-year-old kid living in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn,” said Notardonato. “He doesn’t really fit in anywhere except for at the disco every Saturday night where he is the star dancer.” Notardonato calls the show a big flashy musical and promises audiences will love the dance numbers. “They’re coming for the costumes and the lights and all of that, but at its core, Saturday Night Fever is a really heavy story,” he said. “You get to see this… young kid go through a lot of trials and tribulations trying to find his way.” Tony finds a connection with Stephanie, played by Missy Dowse. “I really love the moments after Tony and Stephanie really dance together for the first time and…there’s that spark,” Dowse said. Dowse thinks it’s important to tell stories that young people can connect to. “People who are growing up now and finding

themselves are like, ‘wait a second, I have felt that way, I have seen these things, I’ve experienced them,’” she said. Andrea Dotto, who plays Annette, described as a groupie to the boys at the club, says a coming of age story never goes out of style because audiences can identify with the characters. “In this play, we’re lucky that there are a lot of featured actors,” Dotto said. “Maybe you don’t identify with Tony all the time, but you identify with Annette and Stephanie, and you get to see yourself in these actors.” She added, “The song…‘If I Can’t Have You’ is such a moment that I think so many people can connect to. It’s just truly knowing what your heart wants and going after it.” Packed with disco classics including “Stayin’ Alive,” “You Should Be Dancing,” “How Deep Is Your Love,” and many more, Saturday Night Fever sizzles with explosive energy and sensational dancing.

Time For A Feel Good Movie

don’t get to attend many movies these days for a variety of reasons. There are not a lot of good ones in the summer months. The best ones are reserved for showing during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. At a time in world history when nations are on edge and there is so much friction, occasionally a film comes along that not only has a great message, but is soothing to the soul. I am referring to A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, which will be released on Nov. 22. I know that at least two of my four daughters grew up watching Fred Rogers appear on the television screen every weekday morning. On many occasions, I would pass by the set just as his show came on and I was mesmerized by his soft and inviting tone. Being that I was entrenched in the political world, his kind and gentle words were very soothing on a day that I faced many challenges. If he could capture my attention, there was no doubt that he was a gift to

he helped adults and children get through their struggles. I recall one morning when he spoke to a child with severe disabilities. The boy was singing one of the 200 songs that Rogers had written. He ended his programs saying, “knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people.” As we approach the middle of a long hot summer, the thought of watching a film with multiple feel good messages is very comforting. The upcoming 2020 elections will challenge every American voter to make intelligent choices and try to maintain their sanity. It might not be a bad idea if everyone from President Trump and all his Democratic challengers marked Nov. 22 for a mandatory visit to a local movie theater.

my children. There are so many violent money making films in the theaters these days so it is a daring move for Hollywood producers to produce a movie that may not be a box office success. The choice of Tom Hanks to play this children’s icon is a brilliant one. Hanks has mastered so many movie roles that he was a natural to play Fred Rogers. Hanks has credibility and has no doubt captured the essence of who Mr. Rogers was. I must stress that this is not a Tom Hanks as Mr. Rogers in A Beautiful children’s movie. Fred Rogers Day in the Neighborhood premieres touched the lives of so many in November. Credit: Sony/Press people and the film tells us how

Their team of vets and canine dietitians worked to adapt HelloFresh’s Honey-Glazed Pork Tenderloin recipe for pups, allowing you to prepare a small pet-friendly portion for your dog while cooking your own meal.

¼ cup sweet potatoes 3 green beans 1 tsp. olive oil 1 tsp. coconut oil, melted 1 oz. pork tenderloin 1 American Journey Lamb Biscuit 2 Tbsp. water ¼ tsp. honey ¼ tsp. turmeric

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. 2. Peel and dice the sweet potato into ½-inch cubes. Set aside ½ cup of the sweet potatoes. This will be the portion used for the dog treat. Put ¼ cup of the diced sweet potatoes on pan with parchment paper. Add ¼ teaspoon of olive oil. Toss and roast for 10 minutes. 3. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, pat the pork loin dry with a paper towel. Slice off one ounce. This will be the portion used for the dog treat. Heat ½ teaspoon of olive oil in pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until fully cooked, or until internal temperature reads 165 degrees. Set aside. 4. Take three of the green beans from the HelloFresh kit and add to baking pan with the sweet potatoes. Toss green beans with ¼ teaspoon oil. Flip sweet potatoes and return baking pan to oven and roast until both veggies are tender, 10-15 more minutes. While the vegetables are roasting, finely chop the cooked pork and set aside. 5.

Editor’s Note: This treat was crafted so that it can be easily made the same exact time you’re making your HelloFresh meal. For baking the vegetables, use a separate baking pan for your dog so there is no salt or pepper added to his. Also, when pan-frying the pork, do your dog’s first and then yours. —Jennifer Fauci

Don’t Miss Your Shot National Immunization Awareness Month highlights the importance of vaccinations

BY JENNIFER FAUCI

jfauci@antonmediagroup.com

he hot-button debate of getting children vaccinated isn’t going away any time soon. With anti-vaxers protesting that injecting bacteria into the human body is wrong for several reasons, some of them may not even know the details or consequences of not getting immunized. One woman has made it her life’s mission to shed light on how crucial vaccinations are, after an unspeakable tragedy resulted in the loss of her teenage daughter. Patti Wukovits is a medical professional and executive director of the Kimberly Coffey Foundation (www.kimberlycoffeyfoundation.org), which was established after the death of her daughter Kimberly, who contracted Meningitis B several years ago. “In 2012, Kimberly was a vibrant, perfectly healthy 17-year-old high school senior, looking forward to prom and graduation as well as starting her nursing education. I made sure she received the routine meningitis vaccine (MenACWY), and like most parents, I thought she was fully immunized against bacterial meningitis,” said Wukovits of her daughter, who did not realize that the MenACWY vaccine does not include protection against Meningitis B. “It was not until 2014 that Meningitis B vaccines became available in the U.S. My daughter contracted this now vaccine-preventable disease two years too early because I could not protect her in 2012. Had a vaccine for Meningitis B been available before 2014, my daughter would have been vaccinated. She would still be alive today living her dream as a pediatric nurse taking care of children and helping them live healthy lives by preventing disease with vaccination. Instead, I buried my daughter two days before her high school graduation in the prom dress she did not have the chance to wear.”

to a now vaccine-preventable disease, I know firsthand the devastating consequences of not being protected by vaccination. As a chemotherapy nurse, I have administered chemotherapy to many women with cervical cancer caused by HPV who did not have the opportunity to be vaccinated earlier in their lives because the HPV vaccine had not been available to help protect them.

Q A

Do you think technology and social media has helped or made worse the importance of vaccination? Social media is a wonderful platform to promote the importance of vaccination as long as accurate information is provided by credible groups and organizations. It’s critically important that people check the credibility of claims and views about vaccination posted by non-medical individuals Vaccines aren’t just for infants; adolescents and groups, such as celebrities and public figures. and adults need to be protected against disease For credible and accurate vaccine information, I as well.

Children, like Liam, see us differently. Because we care for them differently. When Liam was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as a toddler, Dr. Speiser provided him with world-class care and helped his family manage the condition. And now? Liam is enjoying a typical life as a 5-year-old kid. But for Liam, Dr. Speiser will never be a typical doctor—she’s his trusted defender. “She teaches me how to take care of myself,” he said. “I follow the doctor’s orders like an army man follows the general’s orders.”

he liver is the largest internal organ and unlike the kidneys or the lungs, there is only one in the body. It is a metabolically active organ that has several general functions and is often called both the body’s manufacturing center and its filtering plant. The liver produces many important compounds. It makes bile, which is responsible for the digestion and absorption of fats, cholesterol and the fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, E and K. It manufactures proteins such as albumin and most of the clotting factors which allow the body to clot when it is injured. It also produces angiotensinogen, a hormone involved in blood pressure regulation. The liver also acts as a storage warehouse. It stores ferritin, which is involved in the production of red blood cells. It stores vitamins such as A, D, E and K and B12 as

well as the mineral, copper. Complex sugars are stored in the liver so that the liver can break them down into glucose and release them into the bloodstream when needed to maintain normal glucose levels in the blood. All blood flows through the liver. The liver acts as a filter to detoxify the blood. It removes many different compounds from the blood such as hormones and alcohol.

Perhaps one of the most important functions of the liver is to metabolize drugs into either active or inactive metabolites, depending on the medication. Blood tests used to evaluate the liver can be divided into those representing liver cell damage, cholestasis or liver function. The serum aminotransaminases, alanine aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST or SGOT) are part of most automated blood chemistry panels. Elevation of these enzymes is caused by damage to the hepatocyte or liver cell. The degree of elevation may be important in acute disease but is unimportant in chronic disease. The most common causes of elevated aminotransaminases are fatty liver, viral hepatitis, medication induced hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis and alcoholic liver disease. The tests are

a reflection of cell damage and death but are not liver function tests. Although many patients and physicians refer to these tests as “liver function tests”, this term is incorrect as they do not reflect the liver’s ability to either synthesize or metabolize various chemicals. Therefore, an abnormality in these tests does not mean that the liver is not functioning. In fact, the vast majority of patients with elevated aminotransaminases, regardless of degree, have normal liver function. Cholestatic liver diseases are any conditions leading to the obstruction of bile ducts in either the liver or biliary tree. Elevations of the alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase are indicative of this type of disease. Conditions that commonly lead to the elevation of these enzymes include primary biliary cholangitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis and

gallstone disease. Albumin and blood clotting factors are proteins made in the liver. Blood tests such as the serum albumin and prothrombin time are measures of these proteins. As these tests evaluate the functional integrity of the liver, they can be correctly called “liver function tests”. Abnormalities of these tests are of concern and are indicative of extensive liver damage. The adequate interpretation of laboratory test results is very important in the evaluation of liver disease. Unfortunately, in many cases, blood tests are unable to predict current disease stage or possible disease progression. Therefore, despite all these advanced tests, the performance of a liver biopsy cannot be emphasized enough as this is the best test to accurately stage the disease and predict disease progression.

Back To School Guide For Ditching The Freshman 15

ugust means that the start of the new college semester is among us. Whether you are leaving for your first year of school or are already a year or two into your college career, weight management can be difficult while you are in college. Several major changes happen during the first few years of school—you’re no longer living at home or with your parents, you have to navigate dining hall food, and you’re in the process of making new friends. Late nights studying, going out with friends, and enjoying the typical college food indulgences (e.g., insomnia cookies, late night pizza, the list goes on and on…) can make the “Freshman 15” come on quicker than expected.

Feinstein Institute’s Summer Concert A Success A

merican singer-songwriter Usher recently headlined Northwell Health’s Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research 14th annual summer concert, raising more than $3.4 million to support medical innovations. “We are grateful to our benefactors and philanthropists—their support enables us to achieve our not-forprofit mission to produce knowledge to cure disease,” said Kevin J. Tracey, MD, president and CEO of the Feinstein Institutes. Over the last 14 years, the Feinstein Concert has raised more than $25 million to drive research innovation and growth. This event helps Northwell continue to pioneer solutions and unearth new discoveries that are impacting the trajectory of medicine around the world. At this year’s event, on July 11 at Old Westbury Gardens, Kristina Deligiannidis, MD, a reproductive

psychiatrist, and Theodoros Zanos, PhD, a neural engineer, spoke about the need to rapidly surface clinical answers and develop innovative treatments to improve health care and save lives. Dr. Deligiannidis mentioned her innovative and improved approaches to treating depression, particularly postpartum depression, and Dr. Zanos discussed pursuing the field of bioelectronic medicine to develop customized, drug-free treatment for people suffering from a wide range of autoimmune diseases. “As Northwell continues to grow, philanthropy is even more important to fulfilling our mission of improving the health and the lives of the people in our communities who rely on us,” said Michael Epstein, chairman of Northwell’s Board of Trustees. “Through the continued generosity of our organization’s supporters, staff and leadership, we are positioned to propel our philanthropic energy

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 30 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND Our red centre

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have something that the others need. There’s a balance to strike. It would be wrong to withhold this sustenance, and also wrong to waste it where it can’t be used or appreciated. Position yourself to be available to those who have best earned your offering or those who most desperately need it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It is normal for very familiar people and situations to lose the sheen of newness and mystery that was part of the initial attraction. It is just as normal for other qualities to become even more attractive than qualities of “new.” Warmth, tenderness, trust, comfort, ease of interaction -- these are all created over time. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There are those who see you working and will roll up their sleeves and jump right on in to help. They have prior experience and that’s how they know what to do. There are also those who seem not to even notice you’re working and those who stand by helplessly watching. They require instruction. Help them gain skill. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s one thing to have the personal drive to meet an objective and quite another to have a team of people who all want the same thing as badly as you do. The first state makes things happen, the second one brings complete change. Transformation won’t happen alone. Enlist others into your plans and goals. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). No matter how brilliant your work may be, it won’t play in the wrong crowd. And while there’s nothing you can do to guarantee that your work will be embraced, much will go right when you do your research, find out what appetites you’re dealing with and aim your efforts to serve those desires. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Don’t ignore your own wishes because you think it’s what they want. Success depends on following your interests. To put them on the back burner is to put you on the back burner. To promote them is to promote you. Everyone wins when you follow your curiosity. It gives others permission to do the same. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). This week will bring key moments when it would benefit you to find your spot in the group and then do what the others do, blending in with the culture around you. This week will also bring a moment in which the spotlight singles you out. You would be remiss not to show the world your independent talent. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Some say everything happens for a reason. Others say life is random. Still others live like the reasons, whatever they may be, existent or nonexistent, are none of their business. To adopt the latter philosophy, if only for short intervals, will bring about a liberation. The stress caused by overthinking falls away. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The act of tailgating increases the likelihood of traffic accidents, meanwhile, no one goes any faster. In some way, you’re being pushed to take life at a hurried speed. You don’t need the pressure. You’ll be happier if you do the metaphoric equivalent to pulling over and letting them pass. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Be open to mentors and peer teachers from unusual places. Seek them out. The groups that are supposed to have assembled the finest in the field may actually represent a wide range of skill levels. Don’t believe all the press. Awards aren’t everything. Some of the finest in the field are unaffiliated. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). This week’s success depends not so much on your good taste and correct judgment, but on your willingness to make a choice. Hesitation and indecision hang up the action and inhibit the learning process. Wrong choices will be better than no choice. Just choose. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Seek not to uncloak life’s mysteries, as they will be at their finest in mysterious form. Maybe, if you get scientific about it, it is possible to understand the formula for love, humor and art, but with these matters and frogs, dissection kills. Play in the mystery. Enjoy it. Save the analysis for less vivacious times.

You could bring the goal home or someone else could and it would thrill you either way; the world is better for the forward motion. Your altruistic spirit attracts generous souls.

AROUND NASSAU

Curran Fast Tracks Family And Matrimonial Center N assau County Executive Laura Curran recently invited members of the media and community leaders for a tour of the construction at the Nassau County Family and Matrimonial Center in Mineola. The 240,000-square-foot county facility being retrofitted, located at 101 County Seat Drive, was earmarked to become the new court building soon after the previous tenant of the building, Department of Social Services, moved to Uniondale in 2004. The project, stalled by the previous administration, has been fast tracked by Curran. The first phase of the renovation is expected to be complete in October. “The current Family and Matrimonial courts are cramped, out-of-date and unsuitable for the needs of those that frequent them,” said Curran. “This project has been in limbo for over a decade. Enough is enough—it’s time to get it done. I have an aggressive timeline to finally complete this project.” Upon project completion, the Nassau County Family and Matrimonial Center will move its locations at 400 County Seat Drive in Mineola and 1200 Old Country Rd., in Westbury. Both locations have more than 50 years of service and the Westbury location is also more than two miles away from the State Supreme Court and county courts. The new location will improve the court system as well improve the parking and congestion issues of the current locations. While the court is

moving, the juvenile detention facility will remain in Westbury. The court will also include components of Long Island’s first Family Justice Center, a location offering legal and other services for domestic violence victims. “Establishing Long Island’s first Family Justice Center has been one of my top priorities as District Attorney because victims and those in crisis need one-stop access to comprehensive services to ensure their safety and to help them get back on their feet,” said Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas. ”I’m grateful to County Executive Curran and of our partner agencies for their commitment to bringing this important resource to serve the people of Nassau County.” The plans for interior retrofit of the building are available to construction firms through the county’s E-Procurement website. Bid proposals will be received next month. The second phase of this project includes the interior renovations and will include 23 court rooms for family court and 13 court rooms for matrimonial court. The building will include state-of-the-art communication, access control and video surveillance security system, prisoner holding cells, 14 new elevators including dedicated judge’s and prisoner elevators, as well as public elevators. The building will also have an atrium, courtrooms wired for Internet, and a ceremonial court room. The project is expected to be complete in 2021. —Nassau County

Ernest Hemingway as an ambulance driver in Milan, 1918

NOVELIST from page 8A The novel was also antiwar, which, along with the ill-fated romance, is why it was so popular. Other World War I novels popular among the public, All Quiet on The Western Front and Johnny Got His Gun, were also antiwar. By the 1920s, Europe and America had seen enough of war.

AUGUST 14 - 20, 2019 25A

Like Hemingway, the young Faulkner got caught up in the romance of war, signing up for duty in the Canadian Air Force once hostilities broke out. For Faulkner, however, it was not World War I that shattered his world. For the native Mississippian, it was instead the Civil War and reconstruction that shaped his conscience. Faulkner didn’t remember the war, but both his grandfathers were veterans, and this impressed the young man greatly. The Sound and the Fury was Faulkner’s fourth novel. He tells the story of the Compson family, a middle-class clan now in total ruin. The couple had four children: Jason, Candace, Quentin and Benjy, the latter a 33-year-old retarded man. The family had the money to send Quentin to Harvard. While there, an incident from his youth, namely his inability to confront a man who has taken advantage of his sister, drives him to suicide. The family falls apart. Candace flees home. Benjy mourns her absence. Jason, cold-hearted and cynical, tries to keep the family afloat. These novels remain unforgettable. One can remember where he or she was when they first read them. Such is most true of the opening pages of The Sound and The Fury. Benjy is at a local golf course with his minder, Luster. The latter is looking for stray golf balls he can trade in to buy a ticket for an evening at the movies. On the links, golfers keep yelling, “caddy.” Poor Benjy thinks it is his long-lost sister they are yelling about. He howls away. Luster tells him to be quiet. Golfers keep yelling “caddy.” Benjy cries. It is the most heart-wrenching scene in American literature. Look Homeward, Angel, too, cuts to the heart of family life. Thomas Wolfe was a frustrated

playwright who turned his fiction once his plays failed to find a New York producer. Wolfe was the youngest of eight. His father was a verbose stonecutter; his mother ran a boarding house in the mountain resort city of Asheville, NC. Wolfe, then, had a front row seat to the family drama, vividly recorded on the pages of his first novel. The novel is about brotherly love. Ben, Eugene Gant’s older brother, was orphaned at a young age when his twin brother, Grover, died of pneumonia at the 1904 World Fair’s in St. Louis. Ben takes Eugene under his wing. Tutoring the young Eugene brings fulfillment to Ben’s life. Ben, too, perishes from that same pneumonia plague, while Eugene is now a star college student on his way to Harvard. In the novel’s final chapter, Ben is brought back to life as his ghost conducts a lengthy conversation with Eugene on the meaning of life. Hemingway was a man of 1914, Faulkner a man of 1865. Wolfe rejected the “wastelander” or Lost Generation schools. He was an optimistic on the American prospects. If Mark Twain was shaped by steamboats and Jack Kerouac by the automobile, Wolfe was fascinated by trains and where they may take the young man. Hemingway’s prose is spare and unforgiving. Faulkner’s is elegiac and tragic. Wolfe’s energy is boundless. Wolfe was 29 when his first novel was published. By 1929, Hemingway was 30, while Faulkner was 32. Novelists in their youth. Plato once maintained that the fires only burn in a man’s stomach for 10 years of his life. These men were already prolific, and the future decades would bring more volumes, many of which will outlast the ravages of time.

Real Cool Dolce Cafe & Gelateria churns traditional Italian treats

By stEVE MOsCO

smosco@antonmediagroup.com

rossing over Hempstead Turnpike headed south on Franklin Avenue into Franklin Square, you’re greeted for the most part by blue collar storefronts featuring a certain and undeniable air of industrial manufacturing. But that slate of gray and brown got an injection of brightly hued color with the opening of Dolce Cafe & Gelateria this past July. Serving freshly made, small-batch gelato, pastries from Queens-based Italian bakeries and gelato shakes, along with Italian sodas and various coffee and espresso preparations, Dolce was opened by brothers Danny and Vito Altesi, with an assist from veteran gelato maestro Salvatore Potestio. Together, the triumvirate have apparently touched on

something special at the corner store—as evidenced by a steady flow of customers ordering dessert at around 6 p.m., a time typically reserved for dinner. “The gelato is made fresh every day with real ingredients,” said Danny Altesi, adding that Dolce uses all natural ingredients, with no artificial flavoring and no preservatives. “This is real Italian gelato, with nothing artificial. What you see on the label is what is in the gelato.” And Altesi means that literally. The special this particular week, peach, is dotted with flecks of real peach, bringing a textural flow to each bite. The same can be said for the pistachio, which tastes like actual pistachio nuts because that is what Dolce uses to make it. Other popular flavors include rainbow cookie, fig honey, fresh strawberry, Ferrero Rocher chocolate, mint chocolate, vanilla bean, peanut butter and more. Dolce also offers a rotating array of specials

Strawberry gelato and rainbow cookie gelato base as ice cream, but it is made with milk and only a few flavors have any cream at all—and by the way, gelato made with water is sorbetto. Gelato is also churned at a much slower rate, incorporating 35 percent less air than ice cream, which creates a much more intense flavor that is creamier with a denser consistency. And for anyone worried about their waistline, there is up to 75 percent less butterfat in gelato than in ice cream and it is 1/3 the calories of ice cream. Go ahead and get that third scoop.

Gelato through time

changing from week to week, like spicy chocolate and fresh banana. Cups and cones are $4.95 for two flavors and $5.95 for three flavors. But for a taste of Sicily, order your gelato scooped into a freshly baked brioche bun for a cold bite that enhances the intense creaminess of the gelato. And as the calendar begins to inch toward colder months, Dolce will begin serving crêpes as part of a menu that the owners expect to be ever-expanding. The cafe itself has plenty of seating and is decked out in offbeat art and stylish lighting. Outdoor seating, while limited at the moment, will continue to grow as Dolce establishes itself in the neighborhood.

Gelato vs. ice Cream

Yes, gelato is the Italian word for ice cream—but there are actual differences between the two other than language. Gelato starts with a similar custard

“Eat and drink, the sun is torrid and you can cool down.” That quote is from the Bible and it was uttered by Isaac as he handed a mix of goat’s milk and snow to Abraham. While that’s not exactly gelato (or ice cream), you can take that as a biblical order to enjoy the sweet and cool treat in the summertime. The historical data on gelato is limited to mostly hearsay and anecdotes, but by all accounts it dates back to the 16th century when it was churned in Italy using fruits, creams and other flavors. As most (internet) sources say, the inventor of gelato and sorbet as we know it was Bernardo Buontalenti, a native of Florence. But while Buontalenti exclusively served his gelato to the high-falutin corners of society, it was a Sicilian by the name of Francesco Procopio Dei Coltelli who was the first to sell the product to the public. He even opened his own café in France, appropriately called, Café Procope.

Gelato today & tomorrow

Luckily, that long tradition of gelato was passed on from Italian to Italian and one of the establishments we’ve ended up with is Dolce Cafe & Gelateria. Take a drive to Franklin Square and get a taste of gelato—it’s everything ice cream wishes it was. Dolce Cafe & Gelateria, 220 Franklin Ave., Franklin Square, 516-673-4994, www.dolcegelatonyc.com. Hours 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and until 11 p.m. Friday through Sunday.

n light of the spate of music biopics and memoirs that have come out, anyone expecting lots of hot dishing when they crack open Been So Long: My Life and Music, Jorma Kaukonen’s 2018 autobiography, is advised to look elsewhere. Despite the fact that the Jefferson Airplane founding member experienced his first dalliance with fame during the group’s halcyon late ’60s Haight-Ashbury days, it’s more of an intriguing and straightforward account of Kaukonen’s life path. It’s a big reason why he decided to pass on doing a project like this when he was first approached about doing it about a decade or so ago. “In the mid to early 2000s, I had an offer to do a book with somebody else as a cowriter. It was somebody that I liked and I hadn’t really thought about it. At the time, the idea of a cowriter made sense to me because I had never really done any writing of that magnitude,” Kaukonen recalled. “But it became apparent that the publishing company that we had been discussing things with wanted all that salacious stuff we talked about that I don’t have in

my book. As soon as I realized that they wanted me to dish dirt on people that were more famous than myself, I thought I didn’t want to do that. So I just shelved the whole idea. The same thing happened when I didn’t make the cut for the Janis: Little Girl Blue PBS special because Janis and I never had sex or did drugs together. We just played music.” Born in Washington, D.C. to Beatrice Love (née Levine) and Jorma Ludwig Kaukonen, Sr., the younger Kaukonen boasts Finnish through his paternal grandparents and Russian Jewish ancestry on his mother’s side. Given that his father was a State Department employee, there was quite a bit of traveling that framed the future Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s life. In experiencing living in far-flung locales like Pakistan and the Philippines, Kaukonen took to keeping a diary, a habit that carried into adulthood and was an enormous boon in detailing the finite detail that flows through Been So Long. “Here’s the thing, even as a kid, I liked typing because I couldn’t read my own handwriting. For lack of a better term, I always journaled stuff when I was a kid. Back in the late ’90s, I started a website. It wasn’t interactive like the ones are today. Before there was

blogging, I was still journaling. I just always enjoyed doing that,” he said. “For the book, I let the process be my inspiration. So once I sat down, I would start out by knowing that I had to spend three hours that day writing. I’d sit down and maybe the first few minutes, it would be labored. But once I got into the flow, I found

that I could do it.” The book’s narrative thread is wrapped in a straightforward honesty about Kaukonen’s journey, with self-examination that touches on his addiction and self recovery, his troubled first marriage and still-thriving current one, his musical journey, the

creation of the Fur Peace Ranch Guitar Camp and the joy of fatherhood. Sprinkled throughout are lyrics that provide handy narrative bridges. First and foremost a musician, Kaukonen’s role is less of being an oldies act and more of a bard. As someone who started learning finger picking while

at Antioch College, and subsequently wound up worshiping at the altar of the storied blues/gospel singer Reverend Gary Davis, Hot Tuna’s live set lists are rife with material from greats associated with the Americana canon. Fans can expect to hear a set list populated with gems from the likes of Jelly Roll Morton (“Winin’ Boy Blues”), Blind Willie Johnson (“Keep Your Lamp Trimmed and Burning”), Jimmy Cox (“Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out”) and Davis (“Candy Man”). And there are, of course, nuggets plucked from the Jefferson Airplane (“Embryonic Journey”) and Kaukonen (“Wolves and Lambs”). In the end, Kaukonen’s biggest gift that came out of this written project was his ability to hone his narrative craft. “When you’re blogging, you blather and let your mind run free. And that’s okay. But in a book, it’s not okay. As I started working with them, I got that. So we were able to whip things into order. I found that I really enjoyed the process and was utterly un-selfconscious about telling my story, which would not have been true four years ago. I really enjoyed the process and when you think about writing a memoir and put down the last period, what do you do? Drop dead? I was just thinking this morning that I might want to write something else. I don’t know what it’s going to be about—I’ve already told that story, so I can’t go back. But we’ll see.” Hot Tuna will be appearing on Aug. 17 at the NYCB Theatre @ Westbury, 960 Brush Hollow Rd., Westbury. For more information, visit www. livenation.com or call 877-598-8497.

Into The Stretch

Where the local baseball teams stand heading into the final six weeks New York Yankees

By ChristOPhEr BirsnEr cBirsner@antonmediagroup.com

he all-star break has passed. The trade deadline frenzy is over. It’s time for the final six weeks of baseball before the October tournament for the world title. The New York Mets and New York Yankees are both making a push for the playoffs and its time to look at what it will take for them to get there, and potentially pull off a deep run.

New York Mets

The Mets had a rough first half to the season, with many blown saves and the lack of production from their coveted free agents being among the many reasons the team couldn’t stay on its feet. It came to a head after a seven-game losing streak at the end of June and general manager Brodie Van Wagenen throwing a chair with every last drop of frustration that has cumulated over the first three and a half months of the season. But somehow, someway, the Mets are actually turning things around. Part of the reason why is first baseman Pete Alonso, a rookie who has shown up all year long as the team’s star hitter. With 34 home runs as of Aug. 5, he is only eight strong swings away from breaking the franchise’s home run record, set by Todd Hundley and Carlos Beltrán. There’s also the outfielders, Michael Conforto and Jeff McNeil, who have helped keep this lineup afloat where at times it fell flat. Of course, the Mets starting pitchers continue to be the strongest part of the club. Jacob deGrom is once again having a strong year with a 2.78 ERA through 22 starts. Noah Syndergaard and Zach Wheeler were on the trade block, but with the team changing directions and looking to win now, it’ll be important to have these two around. Speaking of trading, the Mets got RHP Marcus Stroman from the Toronto Blue Jays at the deadline and are hoping that he bolsters the lineup further, despite some hiccups out of the gate.

many saves to date. If he can turns things around, along with the rest of the relief pitchers, the Mets could pull off what seemed impossible just a month ago.

Those rocky first few weeks of the season feels like ages ago as the Yankees are currently in excellent position to win the AL East title this year. After reaching 70 wins in a little more than three weeks after the all-star break, the Yankees juggernaut are on a roll and will likely need a catastrophic rash of injuries for the team to slow its momentum. Infielder DJ LeMahieu is one of the steals of the offseason. After signing a two-year deal with the team in January, LeMahieu has been the most consistent hitter in the club, leading the team in hits, and currently sits near the top of the batting average ranks in the American League. Infielder Gleyber Torres and catcher Gary Sanchez have also gotten all-star nods for their performances, but this entire roster is deep with players that can hit well. There’s the usual names like Didi Gregorius, now that he’s back from injury, and Aaron Judge. But even the likes of third baseman Gio Urshela and outfielder Mike Tauchman are having career years in most, if not all, categories. In terms of the pitching, having Luis Severino out of the rotation has hurt. However, Masahiro Tanaka has been the strongest of the pitchers, earning himself his second all-star bid in his career. Domingo German has also done ridiculously well, with 14 wins and the best ERA on the team amongst the starters, as of Aug. 5. The rest of the pitching staff leaves a lot to be desired, with J.A. Happ notably having a tough season. Good news is that Arodis Chapman has been a great closer for the team with 29 total saves. The biggest issue for this team, by far, is in the injuries. Everyone in the starting lineup on opening day has been on the injured list at least once and players are continuing to get hurt the closer we get to the end of the season. Health will be an important factor if the Yankees want to remain in title contention.
