Paranormal Activity Ghost hunters provide solace to families being haunted

BY ANTHONY MURRAY AMURRAY@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

he boys are back in town— ghost town that is. Ghost hunters Jason Hawes, Steven Gonsalves and Dave Tango are getting back to their paranormal roots in their brand new show, Ghost Nation on the Travel Channel, and are taking things to the next level with new hunting equipment and investigative techniques. This time around, the group is helping homeowners who are dealing with scary hauntings and people whose lives have been overtaken and threatened by unexplained phenomena. Each hour-long episode features high-stakes cases and multi-stage investigations, which feature a couple who recently gained notoriety when their nanny-cam footage captured a ghostly shadow figure walking by their baby’s crib, a local team that captured possible shadow people moving throughout a notorious haunt and an investigator who is scratched by an unseen phantom, and more fascinating cases. So how did these ghost hunters

Steve Gonsalves (left), Jason Hawes (center) and Dave Tango (right) become involved in the paranormal realm in the first place? “Back in 1990, I had my own personal experience where I saw something that I thought was never possible,” said Hawes, who eventually cofounded The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS) with fellow ghost hunter Grant Wilson. “From there with researching and trying to figure out how these things were possible led me down the path. Back then, there weren’t a lot of avenues to go. People were claiming a piece of dust was actually orbs and ghosts. That was never my belief system. I always wanted to look for real answers.” Gonsalves became invested in

the spirit world after reading a book that was written by parapsychologist Loyd Auerbach when he was 9 or 10 years old, about the paranormal, and eventually worked alongside prominent paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren in his late teens. “I started my own team at 20 years old and joined forces with TAPS at 21,” Gonsalves said. “Then six years later, we got the show [Ghost Hunters]. I’m 42 now, so it’s been a rough road for me.” Tango’s interest in the paranormal came from stories that his father, who was a police officer in Elizabeth, NJ, used to tell him and his brother about his unexplained encounters

while on the job. “He’d come home and tell us true stories that would either happen to him or people that he knew on the force,” said Tango. “You couldn’t really put these things in the reports, you’d have to go to a psych ward or something or run tests on you. That’s kind of what led my interest in the paranormal. I had a small amateur group, just me and one other guy, and we heard that the show Ghost Hunters was in New York. We gave them a call and said, ‘hey, we have this case in Jersey that we need help with.’ They thought it was a good story and they let me and my friend be guests on that episode. It was like a dream come true. At the time, I didn’t realize that they were looking for someone new to join their group. Two weeks later, I get a call from the director, I believe, and the rest is history. I was 19 turning 20 and now I’m 34. So it’s been most of my adult life.” The team is now armed with new state-of-the-art technology and their meticulous methodology. The team, under its new banner, United

PARANORMAL from page 3A Paranormal Research Organization (UPRO), will face the most challenging and dangerous paranormal mysteries the country has to offer. “Ghost Nation is still about a chain of people that weren’t casted to make a TV show,” Hawes explained. “We’re a group of people who have always been together and we’re getting back to our roots where we’re going back to actually helping homeowners—ones with children and without—that are scared of things going on in their house or have misinformation about things going on in their house. We’re there to figure out what’s happening there, help them out and assist them any way possible.” “We do a lot of research on the properties and on the homes,” said Tango. “You feel great helping these people. It’s such a great feeling when we leave a family and they’re not scared anymore or at least you know you leave them with enough information and education of what’s happening. We’re always a phone call away. We’re dealing with families and it feels that much better to be going back to our roots doing these residential and private cases.” According to Gonsalves, Ghost Hunters and other shows were more

that aren’t legitimate. We always want evidence because that’s what paranormal investigators do. That’s what pushes the field forward and that’s what helps us. That wasn’t the goal for this show. The goal was to help the clients and help the teams who don’t know how to get answers for their clients, but the byproduct of that is that we’ve got the best evidence we ever captured. It’s amazing.” Gonsalves and Tango recall one specific moment while filming Ghost Nation that brought them to tears, ultimately showing the true power that the paranormal can have on others. “It took 15 years, but it finally happened,” laughed Tango. “I don’t know how much I’m allowed to say exactly what happened since it hasn’t aired, but it was definitely life changing and very emotional. You’ll see it. Steve and I both cried because your body and brain, when you see something legitimate, doesn’t know what to do. It’s seeing something that seems unnatural and it’s like ‘What do I do?’ The fact that it happened to me and it happened to Steve and we’re in the same room. It’s intense.” “We started weeping,” recalled Gonsalves. “I mean after we wept, we high-fived. It’s some really intense stuff during this show. It just speaks to what good research, techniques and science we realistically do use.” Together, it is safe to say that the three are excited to be reunited on the small screen after putting Ghost Hunters behind them. “We wanted to make sure that we all stayed together if we were going to do paranormal investigating on television,” said Gonsalves. “To be honest, Jay and I came up with some show ideas with Mr. Tango and we

had a meeting at Discovery and Travel Channel and they blew us away with how gracious they were. We sat down with them and presented them with some show ideas and they said they liked the idea where we traveled the country helping other teams with their cases. We’ve all been able to nuance it where there really hasn’t been another paranormal show like it.” “I feel much more comfortable investigating with people who I’ve investigated with for as long as I have,” said Hawes. “It was one of those things where I do nationally syndicated radio as well and I’ve been asked 40 different times to do TV shows and I turned it down. It was the fact that when I met with the great people at Travel and Discovery and I was talking to them, I really came to a decision that it was time to come back, especially on a network that gives you total freedom to just be yourself and to do the things the way you’re going to do them. I just love the idea that we’re helping out families who are fearful of the things that are going on in their homes. The nice thing is that you’ll get to see the investigation from when we get it to really diving into the historical information of the house because a lot of families end up with misinformation. Just the fact that we’re able to be ourselves and we’re able to have a good time again and investigate and we’re really excited. Ghost Nation is really the next step up from what we did in the past.” Catch the series premiere of Ghost Nation on Friday, Oct. 11, at 10 p.m. ET on the Travel Channel.

EVENTS

A Taste Of New York New York Magazine event brings together world-renowned chefs

BY JENNIFER FAUCI JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

ave you ever been to New York City but wished that you had the time to allow your taste buds to explore every borough? While it is a seemingly impossible task, New York Magazine’s 21st annual edition of its signature culinary event, New York Taste, comes pretty close. The event, which will be held on Monday, Oct. 21, is curated by New York and Grub Street editors, and will feature more than 40 celebrated chefs and rising stars on the New York restaurant scene. More importantly, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to exclusive charity partner City Harvest, to help feed New Yorkers in need. In addition, Adam Platt, New York Magazine’s chief restaurant critic will be signing copies of his new memoir, The Book of Eating. According to New York Media’s events director, Tara Reilly, New York Taste began 21 years ago as New York’s

preeminent culinary event. “At the time, the event was curated by New York Magazine’s culinary editor, Gillian Duffy, and in tandem with a print issue dedicated to food and drink. The event became a pillar in New York’s dining and restaurant

scene with a combination of classics, culinary all-stars and the new and next,” she said. This year, Reilly and her team expanded their curation process to include all of the culinary experts and critics across the company to round up their picks from New York Magazine and Grub Street columns including the Absolute Best, The 1,000 Best, Where to Eat, Grub Street Power Rankings, etc., as well as a curated wish list of a well-rounded representation of all cuisines and dining styles across the New York City restaurant landscape. “I think of it as the most incredible tasting menu you can find. We work closely with the restaurants and editors to ensure that we have a balanced menu and that the progression of the ‘meal’ from the beginning of the event to the end where we feature desserts is complementary, balanced and progressive,” said Reilly. “We try to avoid repetitive flavors or items and encourage each restaurant to feature a signature item so they can

really showcase what they do best.” Many chefs work with City Harvest as it continues to grow from year to year, with last year’s event feeding 31,000 New Yorkers for a day. The event will include tastings from the following: Adda Indian Canteen, Alta Calidad Taqueria, Breads Bakery, Café Altro Paradiso, Chama Mama, Crown Shy, Don Angie, East Wind Snack Shop, Emmy Squared, Gramercy Tavern, Golden Diner, Hanoi Soup Shop, HaSalon, High Street on Hudson, Hunky Dory, Jungle Bird, Kopitiam, Levain Bakery, Maison Yaki, MeMe’s Diner, Mifune, Nur, Oxalis, Pegu Club, Republic of Booza, Rezdôra, Saint Julivert, Silk Cakes, Steve’s Authentic Key Lime Pie, The Aviary NYC, The Beatrice Inn, Undercote, Wayan and Wayla. Hungry yet? New York Taste will host more than 1,000 guests at The Waterfront New York, located at 269 11th Ave., with general admission tickets for $130 and VIP tickets for $230.

FILM

Shoestring Horror Movie DIY film captures foreboding spirit of legendary haunted locale BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Filmmakers Chuck and Karolina Morongiello

ne of Long Island’s most reputedly haunted places is the area of Mt. Misery, which is a short road located within the West Hills County Park, in the town of Huntington, on the north shore of Long Island in northwestern Suffolk County. This byway has developed a reputation for being the source of strange experiences and hauntings. Growing up in Old Bethpage in the ’70s, Chuck Morrongiello was well familiar with all the lore. He and his wife Karolina were inspired enough by it to write, produce and star in an indie film called Amityville: Mt. Misery Rd. It all started out as a lark when Morrongiello and Karolina were up from their Tampa home visiting his father back in December 2015. It was while killing time, the duo went over to Mt. Misery Road, where they started making what was intended to be a goofy video shot on a Samsung Galaxy 7 phone that was initially destined to go up on social media. “We went there and walked around in 12-degree weather. Karolina asked me what this place was and I told her it was cursed and that’s been the case for centuries. I started talking to her about Mary that lived in the woods and stories I heard about an old asylum that burnt down—just like in the movie. Bottom line is that we just took out a camera and I started shooting something funny about where we were, to make a little video and post it up on Facebook,” Morrongiello recalled. Over a three-day period, the duo wrote a screenplay and started stringing scenes together. Throughout 2016, a couple of more return visits to Long Island ensued, with more filming going on. A Florida segment was included along with a visit to the Huntington Historical Society, where background info about Mt. Misery dating back centuries was learned about and incorporated into the beginning of the movie. A member of a number of Long Island-themed Facebook groups including Long Island Memories (Yesterday and Today) and Hey Long Island... Do You Remember...?, Morrongiello was shocked at the response he got when he put up a post

asking for people’s Mt. Misery Road anecdotes. Among the most frequently told legends are of a Hell Hound with glowing red eyes, UFO sightings and the spectres of deceased patients who were committed to a mental asylum that burned down back in the 1800s. “When I asked about Mt. Misery in those Facebook groups, everyone was telling me about Mary Hatchet, the troll and the hangman’s noose. It was just going on and on,” Morrongiello said. Knowing there was this much interest behind the subject, the Morrongiellos spent the better part of two years in post-production and finding a distributor. The completed project had two major indie film horror distributors fighting over it before the decision was made to go with ITN Film Distribution. As for Amityville: Mt. Misery Rd., the DIY production style is reminiscent of 1999’s The Blair Witch Project, another low-budget horror film. In both movies, the suspense of implied menace and doom is what drives the narrative, in this case, a couple intending to prove the folly of a cursed

place that winds up leading down a path of doom. Amityville: Mt. Misery Rd. was initially released back in May, with the DVD being available in Walmart for the first few months after it came out. It can currently be seen On Demand on TUBI TV, Vudu, Amazon Prime and Google Play. Currently working on another project, Morrongiello was thrilled with how the movie came out and credits his satisfaction with how effectively suspenseful it is despite the lack of any special effects. “Our film slowly grows and builds up that anticipation. You’re always wondering what’s going to happen next. Karolina goes from being this blonde Barbie doll and becomes this other woman,” he explains. “She’s going along for the ride with her boyfriend, who is a ghost enthusiast. Then it becomes a nightmare for her. We wanted to develop that character from just being the blonde girl and have her go into this crazy vortex of Hell.” Visit www.longislandweekly.com to read a longer version of this story.

A Ghostly Misconception Ghost hunters talk biggest paranormal paradoxes

Steven Gonsalves: “There are a lot [of misconceptions] out there, but the biggest one can be that you’re going to experience this stuff all the time. Realistically, if we go on 20 cases, we’ll have one case with legitimate activity. It’s not going to happen all the time. Thankfully, for television purposes, we’re going to weave through certain things. This stuff is very rare and we shouldn’t lose sight of how often a door closes all on its own with nothing behind it or to hear a voice come out of thin air.”

BY ANTHONY MURRAY AMURRAY@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

he word paranormal in and of itself is an enigma. It’s mysterious, puzzling and sometimes just downright difficult to understand. Paranormal can even fall under different categories such as ghost hunting, ufology and cryptozoology. It’s not always what happens when there’s a bump in the middle of the night. Ghost hunters Jason Hawes, Steven Gonsalves and Dave Tango, who are starring in the new show Ghost Nation on the Travel Channel, recently gave their viewpoint about the most common misconceptions that people might have about the paranormal. Jason Hawes: “The prefix for the word paranormal is Latin for beyond. So it’s beyond the normal of what we’re used to. So when they hear the word ‘paranormal’ people automatically assume that you’re referring to ghosts and

hauntings. Ghost and hauntings fall into paranormal, but are a very small part of paranormal. So objects moving on their own are paranormal until

you figure out what’s creating that. There’s proof that magnetic fields can do that to small objects so once you figure that out, it’s not paranormal.”

Dave Tango: “A lot of people expect some type of gratification with things happening. We do a lot of ticketed events where people come and they want to investigate with us and have fun, but it’s like, ‘hey, guys, you can be 9 years old and have your first experience or you could have it today.’ It’s a crapshoot. You just never know.”

Carroll Shelby has gone down as one of the most famous race car drivers and influential hot rodders in history. Most known for creating the Ford GT40, Shelby Cobra and Shelby GT 350, many don’t know Shleby was a fan of the Italian sports car manufacturer DeTomaso. The DeTomaso Pantera was designed by Tom Tjaarda of Ghia and pair with a Ford 351 Cleveland motor, making it a perfect combination of Italian styling and American Muscle. It’s no shock Shleby was a fan, so much so that Shelby purchased three Panteras from DeTomaso; two for development purposes and one GT5-S that features a custom VIN plate made specifically for Shelby that will be one of the 50 plus lots crossing the block at this event. In addition, the RAND Luxury Team has selected one of the finest auctioneers in the business, Guy Loveridge, who will be flying in from London exclusively for this event. Author, publisher, broadcaster and world-record-holding auctioneer and racer, Loveridge has more than 20 years in the collector car business and is thrilled to bring his English touch to this special auction. RAND Luxury is currently accepting select final consignments for this one-day-only event.

The SASS Foundation Raises Funds For Cancer Research

n a sunny day in early September, 74 golfers and 30 tennis players teamed up at The Creek in Lattingtown, to participate in the SASS Foundation’s 27th annual golf outing and 12th tennis tournament. The day’s golf and tennis culminated at the Creek’s beautiful Beach House and included a cocktail reception, dinner and desserts down at the beach. A silent auction, lucky bucks and raffle drawing occurred as well. The net proceeds from the tennis outing go towards continuing funding for The SASS Foundation Carol Litwin Memorial Award, a multiyear grant research project in breast cancer at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center that began in 2010 through

the efforts of the tennis chairman, Long Island’s legendary tennis star, Bob Litwin. Dr. Francis P. Arena, president and cofounder of The SASS Foundation addressed the audience on “Updates and Advances in Oncology.” The SASS Foundation researcher and medical oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering, Dr. Elizabeth Comen, provided an update on her research that utilizes immunotherapy to harness the immune system to treat and potentially cure breast cancer cells. “The generosity of The SASS Foundation and its donors will help us to find new and better treatments for women, everywhere, who are fighting breast cancer with tremendous courage and grace,” said Comen.

The resources will also be used to continue to increase the university endowment to maintain LIU’s position as a best value institution. “For us, when we look at private-public partnerships it’s about working really closely with the community at large and trying to understand what their needs are,” said Scott Rechler, CEO and chairman of RXR Realty. “This is a win for all because not only are we going to make the community a better place with greater long-term vitality, but we’re going to have the opportunity to actually enhance LIU, which is one of the region’s most important institutions.” —Submitted by Long Island University

Second graders are eager to read challenging books aloud when Sunny visits their classroom. Eighth-grader Perla said spending moments with Sunny in between bell rings makes her feel less stressed about her responsibilities. “Sunny has this natural way of keeping students calm and relaxed so they can be their best, whether that involves memory recall during an exam or expanding vocabulary in speech therapy,” said Zegarelli. “In fact, having him around motivates us all—and that includes students, staff, and faculty.” —Submitted by The Viscardi Center

With a new school year underway, the Henry Viscardi School at The Viscardi Center celebrated how one new staff member is motivating students with disabilities to succeed. Sunny, a yellow Labrador Retriever trained by the Guide Dog Foundation, became the first and only permanent facility dog at the Henry Viscardi School at The Viscardi Center, which serves children with severe physical disabilities who may require consistent, life-sustaining medical treatment. Joined by Guide Dog Foundation President and CEO John Miller, The Viscardi Center president and CEO John D. Kemp hosted a welcome event to discuss Sunny’s unique upbringing and placement. The Henry Viscardi School’s Head of School Angelo Zegarelli and students then shared how Sunny has made an impact on their lives since he began working at the school in June and demonstrated some of his skills. “When kids are comfortable, they learn better,” said Zegarelli. “As part of our social-emotional learning curriculum, Sunny helps our students get acclimated to their environment and manage their stress levels throughout the day.” Sunny, who works and lives with an on-staff handler, has been trained to help enhance the learning experience for students as they go about their academic activities. His daily tasks include greeting/goodbyes with students as they start/end the day, motivating students during physical and speech therapy sessions, providing a safe and non-judgmental partner during reading activities, assisting students with pushing power

A Plant-Based Diet

ctober is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which provides an opportunity for us to increase awareness of the disease and take action. Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women after skin cancer. Unfortunately, one in eight women in the United States will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. Although many risk factors such as family history of breast cancer cannot be avoided, there are several lifestyle and dietary habits that can help you keep your risk of developing breast cancer as low as possible. Research suggests that a sedentary lifestyle, poor dietary patterns that lack fruits and vegetables, frequent alcohol consumption and being overweight/obese can increase your risk. Eating a plant-based diet rich in whole grains, vegetables, fruits and beans is beneficial for combating several chronic diseases.

more of a plant-based diet.

CHOOSING HEALTH Stefani Sassos

Much of the current research suggests that there is an inverse association between dietary fiber intake (not supplements) and breast cancer risk; this means that the more dietary fiber you consume, the lower your chance of developing breast cancer. The average American consumes only about 10-15 grams of fiber daily. The WCRF/AICR recommends that individuals consume a diet that provides at least 30g/ day of fiber. Here are a few simple strategies to reach this fiber goal and start following

• Swap white bread for grain bread. • Serve fish over lentils instead of white rice. • Use avocado in place of mayo. Try mashing chickpeas with avocado for a delicious lunch sandwich spread. • Try chickpea, black bean, or red lentil pasta instead of regular pasta. • Incorporate quinoa or ancient grains such as farro as a dinnertime side dish. • Opt for light popcorn instead of plain potato chips . • Use an air fryer to crisp up any vegetables. • Chop your salad. as it is often easier to eat and can pack in quite a bit of nutrition. In order to promote the best transition possible to a

plant-based diet, incorporate these changes gradually and also increase your water intake. You need proper hydration to assist in proper digestion of fiber through the body. Don’t forget that it’s never too late to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Everyone can benefit from healthy living. Eating a balanced diet, staying active, and making healthy life choices can be rewarding at

any point in life. Stefani Sassos, MS, RDN, CSO, CDN, CPT, is a clinical dietitian and certified personal trainer. She also provides private nutrition counseling at her office in Great Neck.

ne of the most important questions people ask at their doctor’s office regards any trends in diet and exercise that are good for them and their liver. With so much information available, people just don’t know what to believe. October is National Liver Awareness Month so here are some of my basic beliefs on weight loss and dieting. First, anything done in the extreme usually is ineffective and can potentially be dangerous. I would call this dietary relapse. People go on fad diets that dramatically change their eating habits and help them lose substantial weight over a four to 12-week period. Many of the carbohydrate-free diets see these results, however, once the desired weight loss is achieved, people go back to what they were originally eating and the weight is rapidly regained leading many to plan when they are going to go back on the diet, which

helped them lose weight. This can lead to gallstone development, fatty liver and other medical problems. My second belief on weight loss and dieting is that no diet program can be successful without exercise. The changing of what we eat is not sufficient to continue to lose weight and keep that weight off. Most people do not get enough exercise. A diet program should be associated with at least a 30-minute exercise program every other day to help burn off calories. This time needs to be incorporated into the diet program. Simple exercise such as jogging, walking and swimming help tremendously. More strenuous exercise such as the use of a treadmill or elliptical machine or regularly playing some sort of active sport such as tennis will really help people lose weight and keep it off. My third belief is that most of the diet programs have a

THE SPECIALIST David Bernstein, MD

fatal flaw: that they attempt to drastically change people’s eating habits. Unfortunately, the human being is a creature of habit. Each individual person has developed their own dietary likes and dislikes over the course of their lifetimes. For example, it is very difficult for a 40 or 50 year-old that has eaten pasta every day of their life to all of a sudden cut all carbohydrates forever. It is also cost prohibitive for most people to have a chef deliver

three meals a day for the rest of their lives in order to ensure dietary compliance. First and foremost, there is no such thing as a liver cleanse. Despite all the advertising, this type of supplement does nothing good for the liver and has the potential to do harm. Apple cider vinegar, another commonly used dietary supplement, is diluted acetic acid, which has been shown to be harmful to both the liver and kidneys. The keto diet, low in carbohydrates and high is fat, can lead to fatty liver and therefore this diet should be avoided by anyone with liver issues. What is good for the liver? Foods such as fish, fruits, whole grains, nuts, olive oil, vegetables, legumes and coffee are all good for the liver. These foods are all components of the Mediterranean diet, which is rich in polyunsaturated fats, polyphenols, vitamins and carotenoids and this diet has been shown to

have both anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects. It is considered to be the healthiest diet for people with liver disease. This diet is low in saturated fats and animal protein, high in antioxidants and fiber with an adequate omega 3–6 balance and has been shown to reduce the risk of developing the metabolic syndrome, of which non-alcoholic fatty liver is a component. Other potentially liver healthy diets include the DASH diet, the MIND diet and the flexitarian diet. Protecting the liver through diet and exercise should keep the liver healthy. Eating the proper foods and avoiding those food and drinks that can cause fatty liver or liver scarring is important and can be accomplished with relative ease if desire is present. Diets such as the Mediterranean, DASH, MIND and flexitarian are liver friendly, but it is always important to discuss with a health care provider.

Women Battling Breast Cancer Turn to NYU Winthrop’s Hidden Scar® Surgery – A Breakthrough that Removes the Cancer but Avoids Disfiguring Scarring You don’t have to be reminded every time you wear a bikini. I like the way I look, and now I don’t have to worry about cancer.” The Hidden Scar approach involves a specially trained surgeon utilizing highly advanced and unique equipment to make a small incision—much smaller than with traditional breast surgery—in a hidden area to remove a tumor. The cancerous tissue is removed through that single incision, thus preserving the natural shape of the breast while reducing visible scarring. This small incision may be made in the natural crease beneath the breast; in the armpit hidden in a natural fold; or along the edges of the areola, which can be very desirable for some mastectomies, since it is a nipplesparing technique. The Hidden Scar approach requires consistent illumination of the surgical cavity, which is guided by advanced Dr. Shubhada Dhage and Dr. Virginia Maurer photonics—a sophisticated amplification of light—that enhances visualization of the tumor, so that tumors once too challenging to remove through hidden folds may now benefit from that approach. ® NYU Winthrop Hospital is the first-ever Hidden Scar Center The Hidden Scar approach can be used both in a breast-conserving of Excellence on Long Island, offering an advanced approach to breast cancer surgery that removes cancerous tissue but hides visible lumpectomy that removes only part of the breast tissue, or a scarring.

Patients who undergo the Hidden Scar procedure experience optimal clinical and cosmetic outcomes and are at no higher risk of cancer recurrence than patients who undergo other breast cancer Just ask Andrea, a Hidden Scar patient who discovered that she had surgical techniques. The Hidden Scar procedure is available to most breast cancer candidates, with some exclusions based on the breast cancer following a routine mammogram. “If I have a scar, it will always remind me that I had breast cancer and that I could have size and location of a tumor, breast shape, and breast size. it again.” To learn more about NYU Winthrop’s Hidden Scar® Center Then Andrea heard about the Hidden Scar program and knew this of Excellence call 1-866-WINTHROP or visit www.nyuwinthrop.org. unique procedure, which would eradicate the breast cancer but still leave her feeling whole—was for her. Following her successful Hidden Scar procedure, she explained, “I don’t have a dimple or any kind of indication that something was taken out of me. Isn’t that amazing? I don’t have to look at the scar and remember.” The procedure also proved right for another Hidden Scar patient, Kim, who is young and single but unfortunately carries the BRAC gene mutation.

NYU Winthrop is Long Island’s first Hidden Scar Center of Excellence. ®

Breast Cancer Surgery With No Visible Scar

Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Winthrop's Breast Health Center was first in Nassau County to be accredited by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC). Now we are the first on Long Island to offer Hidden Scar surgery, a sophisticated new approach to breast cancer surgery that hides the scar so effectively it’s virtually invisible. A specially trained Hidden Scar surgeon makes a small incision—much smaller than with traditional breast surgery—in a hidden area, beneath the breast, for example. The cancerous tissue is removed through that incision, thus preserving the natural shape of the breast. Less accessible tissue is illuminated with special technology to be seen clearly by the surgeon and removed with virtually no scarring.

At NYU Winthrop, we have always understood the powerful emotions that can overwhelm any woman dealing with a breast cancer diagnosis. That’s why we are so pleased to be the first to make available this remarkable surgical advance. To learn more, call 1-866-WINTHROP or visit nyuwinthrop.org.

Northwell Opens Long Island’s First Lipid Center The center focuses on cholesterol management, cardiac care

orthwell Health this week opened the first lipid center on Long Island, which is focused on cardiac disease prevention and cholesterol management. Lipids are fatty substances in the blood that can lead to blockages in heart arteries. The program’s opening coincides with September’s National Cholesterol Education Month. The health campaign aims to inform the public about the dangers of high cholesterol. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in men and women in the country, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. High cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease and the condition affects nearly 102 million Americans over the age of 20. The Northwell Health Lipid Center, located at 1010 Northern Blvd., and part of the Sandra Atlas Bass Heart Hospital at North Shore University Hospital (NSUH) in Manhasset, is led by two distinguished cardiologists who are experts in identifying cardiovascular risk and managing cholesterol disorders. They have received advanced training and board certification in lipidology. “The center’s lipid specialists work closely with referring physicians as part of a team approach to achieve cholesterol goals for patients,” said Guy Lowell Mintz, MD, director of cardiovascular health and lipidology at the Sandra Atlas Bass Heart Hospital and co-director of the Lipid Center, who has a national reputation in the field and is a member of the Board of Directors of the National Lipid Association (NLA). “Patients may receive a stent, angioplasty or coronary bypass operation to improve blood flow in the heart, but modification of cholesterol can affect the natural history of heart disease and stop it in its earliest stages and prevent its progression. Patient care is truly seamless because we collaborate with primary care physicians, endocrinologists, cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons and other physicians in the community to meet the needs of our patients.” “Research is also an important component of the lipid center,” said Benjamin James Hirsh, MD, director

(Photo by Northwell Health) of preventive cardiology at the Sandra Atlas Bass Heart Hospital, co-director of the lipid center and regional representative of the Northeast Lipid Association. “As part of treatment, patients will have access to cutting-edge cardiac medications through clinical trials.” The Lipid Center is geared toward patients with and without heart disease. Patients at increased risk for heart disease include patients with diabetes, high blood pressure and patients with a family history of heart disease. Patients who could benefit from services at the center include patients with coronary artery calcification, stents, heart attack, coronary bypass surgery or stroke to reduce the risk of a cardiac event. “Our team, including nurse practitioners and registered dieticians, is here to help patients with high cholesterol, high triglycerides, patients not at their ideal cholesterol goal, or patients unable to tolerate cholesterol medications, such as statins which

can cause side effects,” said Mintz. “Lifestyle modification such as diet and exercise will be reinforced, and when appropriate, medical therapy is provided.” Patients could benefit from seeing a lipid specialist if their medication isn’t working to lower cholesterol; they have family history of heart attack or stroke; have diabetes or peripheral vascular disease; elevated lipoprotein (a) and genetic diseases (such as familial hypercholesterolemia or hypertriglyceridemia) known to increase cholesterol levels. “Lipid specialists are familiar with the latest cholesterol guidelines, including a new category of risk enhancers such as autoimmune disease, diseases of inflammation such as Crohn’s disease, diseases unique to women such as polycystic ovary disease, early menopause, pregnancy induced hypertension, as factors that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and require consideration for more aggressive lipid lowering

therapy,” said Mintz. Services at the Northwell Lipid Center include nutrition and exercise counseling, identification and modification of risk factors (obesity, diabetes, smoking, sleep apnea, hypertension, family history), injectable PCKSK9 Inhibitor (cholesterol-lowering drug) and access to research and newer, novel treatments and therapies. “At the Northwell Health Lipid Center, we not only include medication therapies, if appropriate, but also emphasize dietary and exercise interventions for patients who have had a significant cardiac event or are at high risk of cardiovascular disease,” said Hirsh. “Experts at the Lipid Center will assist physicians in caring for their patients to maximize reduction in cardiovascular risk and meeting national cholesterol goals.” To contact a lipid specialist, call 516-321-7455. —Submitted by Northwell Health

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND Historic Tasmania

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A wrapped gift is an experience in and of itself, regardless of what the gift happens to be. You care about the fun of the moment, building a ritual and mystery, setting up an expectation and enjoying a process. You’ll be very successful this week as you apply this principle outside of gift-giving, too. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s impossible to plan your adventure. Oh, you can make travel arrangements, say, purchasing a train ticket. But who will you sit by? What will you see? The more foreign your plan is from your known world, the more unpredictable. That’s the appeal! Get something exciting on the books so you can start looking forward to it. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Subpar circumstances won’t last, not on your watch. Your sensitivity to discomfort will be turned up this week, and you’ll find the slightest problems highly motivating in terms of making the changes that will contribute to a smoother experience for all. Knowing that you can have and do better is key. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The case worth solving is within. It’s as though you’re a private investigator hired to investigate your own heart. As it often goes in the P.I. trade, everything will not be revealed at once. You’ll need patience. Think of it as a stakeout. Go where you’re likely to learn, and then wait, on the ready to take notes and pictures. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re tougher than you look, more worldly than your experiences would suggest, with courage beyond what you’ll need for this week. So you can go about your business knowing that this routine doesn’t fully represent you, and say yes to the opportunity without worry about your qualifications or chances of success. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Go easy on yourself this week. Your brain needs a rest. Distinguish between time spent on low-value activities and time that’s flat-out wasted. If you’re enjoying yourself, even in a way that seems wholly unproductive, it’s not a waste. Wasted time is that which is neither enjoyed nor spent on a larger life goal. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Bigger isn’t always better. It won’t do any good to expand for expansion’s sake. Take stock of where you’re at and whittle that down to the essentials. You can avoid being overwhelmed by your own life by keeping it within a scale you can manage. It will involve saying “no” more often than “yes.” SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Abraham Lincoln said, “Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most.” The trouble is that “now” is a lot more viscerally engaging than the distant hopes of “most.” To help you stay on track, surround yourself with symbols, reminders and rewards. Bring your vision to life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Life, like an episode of “Twin Peaks,” isn’t all going to make narrative sense. To try and tie up every loose end would only diminish the style present in the experiences of this week. The things you don’t quite understand maintain a magnetic quality. You can use this to your advantage. You’re a mystery, too. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your options are so many and varied that you can’t possibly sample them all. If you stop and try to reason your way through this, you’ll become mentally overloaded with cumbersome logic that, it turns out, is totally unnecessary. So instead, move quickly, get a sense of things and follow your instincts. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There are two ways to keep your behavior from betraying secrets of your soul. One takes a lot of work and the other takes courage. The work-intensive way is to learn to act and become an excellent liar. The second way is simply not to have secrets. Instead, embrace and promote yourself wholly, flaws and all. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your higher mind may decide what you should and shouldn’t be doing, but there’s a powerful baser instinct with the lumbering strength of an elephant that your higher mind rides atop, reinless. Without a strategy, the beast goes where it wants. To make it go where you want it to go, you have to move its food.

Laura Curran Charts A New Path

BY JERRY KREMER

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

s a person involved in government affairs (lobbying), I travel to many parts of the state to meet and listen to public officials. I recently attended a meeting of the Westchester Business Council at which the county executives from Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester counties spoke about their current challenges. A nearby friend commented to me that Laura Curran, the Nassau leader, “would probably make a good governor.” That fleeting moment caused me to reflect on the history of county executives in our region. Nassau County has had nine county executives. I was much too young to know J. Russel Sprague or A. Holly Patterson, although I did

INSIDE POLITICS Jerry Kremer meet Patterson during my entry years in politics. I have personally known seven of them starting with Eugene Nickerson and the rest up to Laura Curran. Laura Curran is the first woman county executive and although it is only about a year and nine months since she took office, it does

seem like she is a veteran, because of the fact that she has so smoothly taken over one of the toughest jobs in the state. I am not saying that her time in office has been easy considering that she has had to deal with such issues as property assessments, union contracts and the opioid epidemic. Every one of her predecessors had a different style while in office. Some were bean counters always looking to cut costs and talk later. Others were of the traditional political mold focusing on getting the streets plowed during a snowstorm and taking care of the party faithful with jobs, jobs and more jobs. Laura is different. Perhaps because she was a reporter she asks questions of her staff and seeks outside opinions. She has no problem speaking at

public functions and you get a sense that she really cares when she talks about topics that would make the average citizen yawn. If you took an inventory of women office holders around the state, you would find that there are very few who have been promoted by their political parties, which is

their community’s loss. Laura still has a few years to prove that she can deal with all of the issues that a modern day leader must face. But she goes about the job of running a county with over one million residents, in a professional and friendly manner. Maybe my friend at the Westchester breakfast was on to something when he saw Laura Curran as a future governor. From my standpoint for now, she is doing an excellent job of running the show without resorting to daily tweets. So far Laura, so good.

Pineapple pizza

Pizza World

Curry On Pizza’s Indian ingredients

National Pizza Month highlights the pie’s glory BY STEVE MOSCO

SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

ineapple pizza is delicious. Deal with it. That’s right, and I’m Italian. This is pure sacrilege to some, but those chunks of sweet, perfectly acidic fruit go great with mozzarella cheese—and when paired with ham on a Hawaiian piazza, the result is pure pizza party. For some, pineapple pizza is the culinary encapsulation of a divided nation. The mere mention of pineapple as a pizza topping is enough to send some people into a frothing frenzy, complete with dripping sweat and tears of rage in their eyes. But if you were to just accept the fact that there is, in fact, no such thing as a pizza rulebook spelling out the “dos” and “don’ts” of pizza artistry—that every pizza-eating citizen of the world should be free to top their pies with anything they please—then maybe your food horizons would be opened a tad wider and perhaps you’d be a bit happier as a result. And yet, according to YouGov, an Internet-based market research and data analytics firm,

Americans rank pineapple as one of their least favorite pizza toppings (anchovies are by far the least favored topping), with pepperoni blowing away the competition as the most favored topping. To me, this is pure lunacy. Hawaiian pizza a construction of utter brilliance. Invented by a Greek-Canadian (naturally), it features the ideal brand of sweetness, with sharp and tart bite, and just the right amount of juiciness. It’s a fruity and savory gift from science, complete with herbaceous tomato sauce and, of course, stretchy mozzarella cheese. You know what—it’s fine. Don’t love pineapple pizza. Leave all that sweet and salty splendor for me. But the pineapple pizza conundrum conjures a loaded question during this National Pizza Month: What is pizza and can it include ingredients that are not thought of as classically Italian?

Life Of Pie

The origins of pizza do not slide cleanly from the pizza peel. The word itself is thought to have Latin origins, while the food itself could trace its history back to the matzo,

of all things. The legend goes that Roman soldiers fostered their love of Jewish matzo while they were stationed in a Roman settlement in Palestine—and with Romans being Romans, decided to put a Roman stamp on the food by topping it with their own choice ingredients. Fast forward to the Middle Ages, and peasants were topping cheap pizza-style dough with olive oil and herbs. Eventually, buffalo mozzarella added a cheesy dimension to the dish, along with at least some rudimentary form of tomato sauce. In Italy, pizza makers wouldn’t be caught dead using shredded mozzarella. Instead, they held fast to a specific list of central ingredients cooked in intensely hot, wood-fired ovens. One of the first pizzas, the Margherita pie, was invented in Naples and was studded with colorful ingredients meant to mimic the Italian flag—red tomatoes, white cheese and green basil. This Neapolitan-style pizza would spread throughout Italy, with the eclectic regions designing their own pies with local ingredients. One tactic Italians did not take was to desecrate pizza with handfuls of various meats for what you would

call a “meat lover’s pizza.” Such a Frankenstein’s monster of a pizza, though delicious as it may be, would constitute a betrayal of pizza itself in the eyes of the originators. Even the classic pizzeria pizza you know so well would be simply unrecognizable in the Italian homeland. So, tracing history, you learn that the thing you so fervently defend as “the only pizza that matters” would be unrecognizable to the originators of proto-pizza. What does that tell you about your attitude toward pineapple pizza? Nothing but a slice of wrongheaded foolishness, no?

Pizza Has No Ethnicity

In the modern world of pizza making, industrious chefs of any and all backgrounds have the

freedom to pound out dough into whatever type of pizza they please. Examples of this are even seen here in the metropolitan/Long Island area. Since opening about a year ago just across the street from Nassau County in Bellerose, Queens, Curry On Pizza (248-49 Jamaica Ave.) has become the destination for pizza lovers looking for something outside of the pizza box. The sleek restaurant takes that pizza you hold so sacred and takes it out of its comfort zone with decidedly Indian ingredients like butter paneer, gobhi masala, chicken tikka, tandoori chicken and more. This isn’t a regular Italian pie with Indian ingredients clumsily dumped on top—this is pizza reinvented with dynamic Indian spices

thoughtfully and skillfully imbued into the pizza-making process. And if you stop in and aren’t sure what to order, go with the Chicken 65—inspired by a legendary southern India fried chicken dish that gets its flavor from red chili powder, ginger garlic, turmeric,

cumin, green chilies, and other aromatic spices. The spicy chicken sits atop an airy crust and mozzarella cheese, with green bell peppers, red onion and fresh cilantro. It all comes together in a bite that literally brings two cultures together in peace and harmony. Yes, literally.

Pizza To Go

During this National Pizza Month, forget everything you thought you knew about pizza. Accept that pizza is binded by no preconceived notions of what it should or should not be—and while you’re at it, give pineapple pizza a chance.

ACTIVITY

For The Love Of Food Long Island couple creates edible mystery tours

BY CHRISTINA CLAUS CCLAUS@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

evin and Elizabeth Hindley’s love story is intertwined with their deep love for food, and has culminated in both a marriage and a company, Food Done It? Elizabeth, who was born and raised on Long Island, went to St. Joseph’s College and has pursued a career as a teacher. But one thing was always at the back of her mind: food. “I was always interested in culinary experiences, so I would go out with friends to the usual places like Huntington, and then Patchogue started to become heavy on the restaurant end and then Babylon Village. I was always interested in restaurants and wanted to open one, but I didn’t have that degree.” Enter Kevin. The two met at a Starbucks four years ago, after Kevin moved from Colorado. Shortly after the two began dating, Elizabeth’s mother passed away, bringing the couple closer together. “After the loss of my mother, that’s when it sort of came to me,” explained Elizabeth of how Food Done It?, an edible mystery tour, came to be. “I wanted something different and fresh. I love teaching, but I wanted more and something fun for people. Coming out of a dark place, it just sort of came to me. I pitched the idea to Kevin and he understood it immediately. Both of us are sort of on the creative side and foodies.” After having taken a few food tours on her own and seeing the rise in escape rooms, Elizabeth realized it would be a great idea to combine trivia and puzzles with food. And because the two had full-time jobs, they needed to come up with a way to run the tour without having to be present. So the two created a system where participants are given a restaurant location to meet at to begin their Food Done It? tour in one of the four locations—Patchogue, Huntington, Babylon and Rockville Centre (the company’s newest location). Along with the instruction, they are given a link to a downloadable app that will guide the party through the tour and one of their story lines (specific to location), which now includes The Cupcake Conundrum, Fire and Ice

Long Islanders use an app to navigate the edible mystery tours, which feature five different food stops. (Photos courtesy of Food Done It?)

(cream), The Ghost of Capsaicin and the Tour You Can’t Refuse. A group of friends or family meet up at the starting restaurant, which might take their drink order and give them a puzzle to work on while they fire up the grill in the back for a first tasting. The story line doesn’t begin until all are seated at the table ready to go. “Once you’re in our app, you’re introduced to our story line, the events that happened in nights prior, if

there was a murder or food turned up hot,” explained Kevin. “That’s where you find out all about it and meet the character on the phone, scrolling and reading through dialogue with a friend.” Then the app will give directions to the next location, which is usually a retail store, and involves a scavenger hunt. Once completed, the group heads off the next restaurant. The tour is designed to be a large

meal spread out over the approximately four-hour experience. The tour has five food stops: three savory and two sweet, with a sweet stop in the middle to break up the savory stops, and a larger dessert at the end. “We don’t want anyone to leave hungry,” said Kevin. On the couple’s first tour, Cupcake Conundrum—their beta launch tour—in Patchogue, Kevin proposed to Elizabeth. “I thought it’d be a cute mystery involving food,” said Elizabeth. “I didn’t know he was writing the story to propose to me. It’s still being used. At the end, he got down on one knee. We started a business the same day we got engaged.” Since that day, the tours have been flourishing, with some Long Islanders having completed all tours multiple times. “It makes me happy people are having fun, always laughing and are too full,” Elizabeth said of what she feels is most rewarding about the business. “It’s fun to see they are choosing Food Done It? for their special occasion.” To purchase an experience, gift cards or for more information, visit www.fooddoneit.com. The tour is $63 plus tax, fees and tips per person.

CCLAUS@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

s the season transitions to fall, the leaves become different shades of yellow, orange and red and the temperature dips below 60 degrees, you may begin to take out your sweaters and booties.

Here are some products to try this autumn that may become your new faves.

LITERATURE

Man With A Plan George Marshall was a statesman for the ages

George Marshall is thorough, but plodding. The author compiles quote after quote, fact after fact. Marshall lived through dramatic times, but he was not a dramatic man. Marshall avoided the spotlight. When he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1953, he apologized in advance for not being a Winston Churchill when it came to oratory. During the 1950s, the president of Harvard University declared Marshall to be the most

ho can forget the opening scenes of Saving Private Ryan? The viewer is taken into the office of Gen. George Marshall, the U.S. Army Chief of Staff. All of the Ryan brothers, save one, have been killed in action. The Army must track down the surviving brother and deliver him to safety. Marshall was an unknown to the public, but the viewers immediately knew that they were in the company of a great and solemn man. David L. Roll’s George Marshall: Defender of the Republic is being greeted with all the anticipation of a man at the end of his rope. “[The biography] couldn’t come at a more crucial time.” (John Lewis Gaddis). “A tonic for our troubled times.” (David Ignatius). George Marshall’s life was the story of the 20th century. A native of Uniontown, PA, Marshall, whose family was related to John Marshall, the first Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, pined to enter the U.S. Military Academy in West Point. Turned down there, Marshall promptly applied for and was accepted to Virginia Military Institute (VMI). Today, the VMI sports a statue of Marshall alongside another famous general who once taught at that university, Thomas Jonathan (“Stonewall”) Jackson. Marshall was a man born to serve. Jackson’s fellow Virginian, Robert E. Lee, once declared that duty was his favorite word. “Duty is the most sublimest word in the language,” Lee once claimed. “Always do your duty. Never do less.” That, too, was Marshall. Winston Churchill called him the “organizer of victory.” This was true in both world wars. As Army Chief of Staff, Marshall was faced with a daunting task: Raising a 180,000-man army to match and defeat the armed services of both Germany (2.5 million men under

arms) and Japan (1.7 million men in fighting condition). A year before Pearl Harbor, Marshall fought ardently for a peacetime draft. His stature on Capitol Hill helped to make victory possible. After the war, Marshall was set for retirement. That wasn’t possible. With victory in World War II, Marshall’s reputation had reached Olympian heights. Senators and Congressmen instinctively respected his judgment on all matters military and diplomatic. President Harry S. Truman wanted him to go to China to resolve a bloody civil war between nationalists loyal to Chiang Kai-shek and communist insurgents under Mao Tse-Tung. Again, Marshall answered the call. After China he was asked to serve as Secretary of State. Marshall’s career was one of unparalleled service. Marshall would have preferred a 1943 Allied invasion of Europe rather than the June 6, 1944 D-Day. He agreed with U.S. recognition of Israel, but felt the Truman Administration was moving too fast (the president didn’t want the Soviet Union to be the first nation to recognize Israel), and he threw up his hands on the China mission. Marshall was frustrated with the nationalists, but the communists weren’t willing to give an inch, either. Marshall always kept his eye on Europe. He was a true Atlanticist. He reached the pinnacle of fame for the Marshall Plan, a program of economic aid to a devastated Europe. Marshall was willing to include both the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe nations in the plan. Moscow balked and they made sure Eastern European nations did the same. The Cold War was on. In the winter of 1947, Great Britain nearly froze, saved by emergency American aid, which Marshall acknowledged that such a package would cost the American taxpayer, who had just bankrolled the greatest war in history.

accomplished American since George Washington. That was then. Marshall remains an unknown and this biography will make the reader regret the passing of a nation that could produce such men as Marshall, Eisenhower, MacArthur, George Patton, Omar Bradley and Chester Nimitz. But it can also inspire younger readers to embark on the life of service that Marshall himself exemplified so thoroughly.

William Fichtner weighs in on his beloved Bills.

Bill Fichtner’s Fave Bills BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

eteran actor William Fichtner (Mom, Prison Break) may have been born at Mitchel Air Force Base, but his heart and soul are beholden to Western New York. Fichtner is a true-blue Buffalo native, where he shot much of Cold Brook, his forthcoming directorial debut in which he also plays the lead, as well as having a co-writing credit, production duties and everything short of doing custodial and craft service duties. Like any other native that hails from the City of Good Neighbors, Fichtner is a rabid sports fan, who roots hard for the city’s Sabres and Bills. His affinity for the latter runs deep enough that he not only appeared in a commercial for the team before the 2014 season, but he provided narration for the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary Four Falls of Buffalo, chronicling the Buffalo Bills’ four consecutive Super Bowl appearances from 1990 to 1993. As someone whose childhood is rife with memories of former Buffalo players, including Cookie Gilchrist and Jack Kemp roaming the field at War Memorial Stadium and later cheering special teams legend Steve Tasker, Fichtner shares a trio of favorite Bills.

Josh Allen (2018 to present)

“I love Josh Allen. He’s still making mistakes but I’ll tell you something about him—me, my wife and my son Van, a senior in high school who lives and dies for the Buffalo Bills—we went to see him play against Cincinnati a couple of weeks ago and they played well. Josh Allen has a look in his eye that’s no-quit—[Jim] Kelly had the same thing. He’ll stand right up there in the fourth quarter and say, ‘Nope,

nope. I don’t care if we’re down with two minutes to go. I’m going to win this game.’ And that’s what he did in that first game against the New York Jets. [The Bills] didn’t play for three quarters. But they played for one quarter [and won]. I love Josh Allen.”

Thurman Thomas (1988 to 1999; 2000 with the Miami Dolphins)

“I think that even the year the Bills lost that Super Bowl to the Giants in ’90, Thurman Thomas was the MVP of that game. Thurman was also an MVP of the league in 1991. He was just an amazing athlete. I also like him, too, because he spoke up. You’ll remember when [Jim] Kelly was originally drafted, he didn’t want to go to Buffalo and he didn’t. He chose to go to the USFL to the Houston Gamblers. Eventually that league folded and Kelly came to Buffalo. Now, he’s a big Buffalo supporter.

But back then, he didn’t really want to be there. Thurman was pretty outspoken about him being a good guy and if not, he was going to tell him he wasn’t. Thurman was that kind of guy because he’s a good guy and was that sort of soft-spoken kind of powerful leader. I loved him as a player.”

Andre Reed (1985 to 1999; 2000 with the Washington Redskins)

“I’m going to go with Andre Reed as my third favorite Bill and that’s probably because he’s such a nice human being and I had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times. He’s been completely present, right there and lovely. I just know that the years I watched him play, he was just incredible. I love Andre Reed.” Visit www.longislandweekly.com to read about Bill Fichtner’s favorite Buffalo Sabres players.
