Old School Dynamic Duo Daryl Hall and John Oates continue to wave the Philly soul banner BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO
I
dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com
f Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff and Thom Bell are the architects of Philly soul, it’s safe to say that Daryl Hall and John Oates have been the ambassadors of that sound ever since the twosome released their 1972 debut, Whole Oats. And while it would take four years until Hall and Oates scored a hit with their 1976 No. 4 smash “Sara Smile,” they’ve become the best-selling music duo in history, having sold an estimated 40 million records and having had 34 chart hits on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, including six chart-toppers. For Hall, it goes back to those halcyon days in Philadelphia, where he cut his teeth as a young teen performer. “Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff and Thommy Bell are three people who influenced me to an outrageous degree,” he said. “They’re a little older than me, but we all started together, back in Philly. They define the essence of what I do and how I think musically. I don’t have the same style as them all the time, but I’m coming from the same place as they are. They mentored me and influenced me in a lot of ways.” Fast forward to the present- day and Hall

and Oates are preparing to embark on an extensive tour with guests Squeeze and KT Tunstall that’s set to kick off with an opening show at Madison Square Garden. Known for their love of the road, the duo is switching gears from last year’s focus on playing Europe and South America to hitting plenty of venues throughout the States and a quick Toronto date. The tour’s musical guests up the ante all the more for Hall. “KT is an old friend who has been on tour with us a number of times,” he said. “And Squeeze is a band that I’ve known since the ’80s. I knew them back in the day and they’re great guys. I love their music and KT’s music. I think it’s a great bill. I really, really love this package.” With so many hits under their collective
belts, Hall promises he and Oates will be going for as intimate an experience with the audience as you can get in a venue as large as the Garden. “It’s going to be a great tour, playing songs that you probably think that we’re going to play,” he said. “And a few songs you might be surprised by. The band is great and as always, we’re feeling good.” While Hall grew up in Pottsdown, PA, and Oates was a native of the Big Apple, the City of Brotherly Love was ground zero for the two’s future collaboration. They met at West Philadelphia’s Adelphi Ballroom in 1967, when Hall was heading The Temptones and Oates was doing the same in rival group The Masters. Gunfire rang out between gangs and the two headed to the same service elevator trying to escape.

FEATURE HALL AND OATES from page 3A “We were performing at one of those events where you lip-sync your record,” Hall recalled. “We started sharing apartments [shortly after that], because we were both at school at Temple. Then John went to Europe for a little while. I was doing session work with Gamble and Huff and people like that. Then, he came back and he didn’t have any place to live, so I let him stay at this house that I’d restored. Then, we started plunking around together and that’s how Hall and Oates was born.” Music has always been a constant for Hall, whose own mother was in a band and of whom he has vivid recollections being on stage playing with a band. (“I always wanted to be the guy in the white coat that was band leader.”) Inspired by local soul singers transitioning out of street-corner music, the aspiring vocalist also found inspiration from a number of non-Philly vocalists including Curtis Mayfield, Wilson Pickett and Marvin Gaye. Before long he was doing session work with Gamble and Huff. “I was around it all,” he said. “I

McPhatter and Jerry Butler records. I played on a couple of Delfonics records and with Bunny Sigler and Len Barry.” And while Hall has seen a lot of changes in the music industry since he started out, in many ways he’s seen it all come rather full circle. “When I started out, I was a teenager in the ’60s. I started out on what you’d call an indie label now. Everything was regional. You tried to get a hit in your local area. It is the same in that respect. I think the way people are trying to do it now when they start is they’re trying to get influencers to put them on their little blog playlists. It’s sort of cyber-regional. In that respect, it’s back to the early days in that way,” he explained. “It’s certainly not what it turned into, which was this corporate monster that was not conducive to great art. It was sort of the enemy of art. I’m glad to see that it’s evolved and devolved into more of the way it was when I started, but obviously in a completely different way. But it has the same principles. Start local, get a following, play live and get people to notice you in certain tribal areas. Get your tribe going and increase your life. I think that’s healthy for art.” For Hall, it always goes back to the musical education he got from the fertile Philly music scene. It’s one he continues to draw inspiration from and sees having a global effect. “[Everything going on back then]
Kenny Gamble (Photo by John Mathew Smith/CC BY-SA 2.0) was a fantastic combination of people. Gamble and Huff are fantastic songwriters and so were McFadden & Whitehead and Thommy Bell. These guys were writing some really stellar songs—‘Didn’t I (Blow Your Mind This Time)’ is my favorite Philly song. That’s Thommy Bell and William Hart,” he said. “The Philadelphia legacy in some ways is bigger in the world than it is in America. You go to England, and there’s nothing bigger in England. There’s a new person every two weeks in England that’s a soul singer and they’re usually doing something that’s more Philly than anything else. I think the mark Philly had on Europe is gigantic and in some ways is bigger than Motown. There it is man. I think people in the United States don’t necessarily know what it is, but they respond to it without even knowing.” Daryl Hall and John Oates will be appearing on Feb. 28 at Madison Square Garden, 4 Pennsylvania Plaza, NYC.

Fearless
Dermot Kennedy talks debut album and headlining Radio City Music Hall BY ANTHONY MURRAY
amurray@antonmediagroup.com
G
rowing up in the outskirts of Dublin, Ireland, singer-songwriter Dermot Kennedy was inspired to become a musician after hearing his cousin play guitar during a family gathering. That one early morning moment forever changed his life as Kennedy is now set to headline Radio City Music Hall in New York City with songs off his debut album, Without Fear, which came out late last year. “I was at a family party once and my cousin David was playing Thin Lizzy songs on the acoustic guitar at like three in the morning,” Kennedy said. “I was completely taken by it. I just knew that’s what I wanted to do. Then, once I got a guitar, I started finding the artists that I was into like David Gray and Glen Hansard. They were probably the most important songwriters for me in terms of me falling in love with the music for the first time and becoming obsessed and all that. I just love the storytelling, I guess. I just wanted to tell stories.” Being a product of his environment, Kennedy said that growing up in a picturesque rural area is often reflected in some of his lyrics in his songs. “I actually grew up in a fairly rural area,” Kennedy explained. “It was kind of a beautiful place to grow up because it was super picturesque and we had this big garden. I just think nature and the outdoors, that type of thing, was very, very important to me growing up and even now it plays a part in my lyrics. So, I think that side of things has always been very important to me.” Without Fear is Kennedy’s debut album, which comes from an autobiographical standpoint. The 13-song album saw Kennedy peak to No. 18 on Billboard’s 200 chart in its debut week and produced hit singles including “Power Over Me” and “Outnumbered.” “The songs on there are from 10 years ago,” Kennedy said. “It’s the type of thing where you, I know it’s a cliché thing, but you really do have your whole life to make your first album, so I was taking songs from every part of my life for that. Everything that went into the album is every experience that I’ve ever had. I think that it’s very important for me to write from an autobiographical point of view because I
know that I tour these songs so much, so it’s very important for me to be able to care or actually feel them every night. So everything that I’ve ever felt has gone into those songs.” So what was the writing process like for Kennedy’s current single, “Outnumbered”? “That was a very early morning in the studio in London,” Kennedy said. “When I go to London from Dublin, I generally, to buy myself more time at home, I will generally fly early Monday morning instead of late Sunday, so I was knackered in the studio and Scott [Harris], who I wrote it with, came from New York and had a similar thing. We were both completely knackered, so I think because we were so tired it created this weird atmosphere where both of us had walls down. It was the first time we had written together, but everything just seemed to be carefree and we weren’t on edge.” The writing process for Kennedy’s debut single “Power Over Me” wasn’t all that different, according to Kennedy. “I was in New York and it was a similar vibe [to ‘Outnumbered’],” Kennedy said. “We started with the core idea and built out from there. I guess the only difference with ‘Power Over Me’ was that I had always written as the ideas came to me and I didn’t spend too much time worrying about whether or not one part was a verse or one part was a chorus. I just wrote whatever felt good. So with this one, it was like an exercise for me and a challenge to start with the main idea and to start with a title and build out from there and do my best to make the verses consistent and make the whole story tie together. It came together quickly. I find a lot of my best music comes together quite quickly.” Kennedy is now touring across the

country and is headlining Radio City Music Hall on March 5 with a much larger production than he has ever done on tour before. “On this tour we’ve been able to go up a big level in terms of the production and the show that we get to put on,” Kennedy explained. “I think such an important part of what I do in my songs is imagery and trying to paint a picture in someone’s head and try to make people feel something. If it’s just me on stage with a guitar with a boring backdrop with my name on it, it’s harder for me to do, but if we’ve got visuals and video, I think it makes it easier to immerse people with what you’re trying to do. I think if people come out and see us this time, it’s more of a show and also just for anyone who might hear this stuff and think it’s just me doing some acoustic set, that is not the case. There are four of us on stage and they’re all incredible musicians. It’s got its intimate moments where it is just me and the guitar, but mainly it’s a big show and it’s very dynamic,
so I think a lot of people might be surprised by that.” For the rest of the year, Kennedy has a lot of things in the works, including working on his second album. “I’m certainly conscious my time is going to be taken up by touring, but also I’m keying to be in the studio,” he said. “When you’re touring for ages you wish you were in the studio and when you’re in the studio, you wish you were out on tour playing songs for people. You always want the other thing, but I think the first album left in a lovely place where I can take it multiple directions.” With his future albums, Kennedy said he hopes to leave behind a legacy that has shown growth and more creativity. “I think, musically, I want to be like somebody who is like Kendrick [Lamar] or J. Cole,” he said. “A few albums where you’ve grown creatively, you haven’t stayed in your comfort zone, things changed, people continue to be inspired and you just leave like a really impressive bunch of bodies of work that people from all genres can appreciate—that’s my main thing. I want to grow. I’d say for my second album, I want to grow creatively and I want things to breathe and adapt, but I also don’t want to isolate anyone who’s gotten on board with my music so far. It’s an important balance I think.” Dermot Kennedy will be performing at Radio City Music Hall on Thursday, March 5. For tickets, visit www.ticketmaster.com

Branford Marsalis: Jazzman For The Masses
Saxophonist lives at the crossroads of creativity and humility BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO
dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com
B
enjamin Franklin once said, “A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle.” Which goes a long way toward explaining the expansive amount of work Branford Marsalis has accomplished as an acclaimed jazz saxophonist, steady Sting sideman, Tonight Show with Jay Leno band leader and Tony Award-nominated composer. Simply put, the man is about as ego-free an artist as you are going to cross paths with. The eldest of the four Marsalis brothers, the Louisiana native is prone to wisecracks and salty language and isn’t above poking fun at some of his own work. Marsalis is currently touring with his quartet behind last year’s The Secret Between the Shadow and the Soul. Of the seven cuts on this release, one is a fiery and upbeat reading of Keith Jarrett’s “The Windup.” And
while the saxophonist was happy with the project’s end result, he was quick to admit it came out of an ill-fated 2017 attempt to record all of Jarrett’s Belonging, the 1974 album the song originally came from. “There was a time when we talked about the idea of re-recording the whole record. I decided we should start early and start playing ‘Windup’ on the road for about a month and it went well. Then we kind of did a detour and veered to do a project with Kurt Elling [ed. note: 2016’s Upward Spiral ]. So that song was tabled for about a year and a half. And then when we were starting to work together again as a quartet and had this aborted session in New Orleans that just wasn’t working,” he recalled. “The great thing with working with different people is that it changes you, whether you want it to or not. I know personally that I did not acknowledge the change. So

Branford Marsalis Quartet from left: Branford Marsalis, Justin Faulkner, Eric Revis, Joey Calderazzo (Photo by Eric Ryan Anderson) we showed up in the studio in either 2017 or 2018, trying to recreate 2015 which was gone, because we had played with this singer and the whole thing had changed. None of it was working—it was just awful. So I said, ‘we’re aborting this [crap].’ I listened to it a couple of times and there was no confirmation by us necessary—it’s confirmed—it sucked.” It might seem like a shocking thing to hear from such a gifted player, but Marsalis is more concerned with executing a challenging musical vision than chasing accolades. He explains that it comes from being naturally shy and the nature of being a player looking to improve those around him versus bringing attention to himself. “When I was playing music with Sting, my job was to make my boss sound as good as I could. That was my job when I was 14 years old and I was playing piano and saxophone in a band. When the concert is over, my job is done. At that point, to my view, I’m invisible. Don’t get that wrong. I’m not doing a passive aggressive thing. Sting did right by us,” he said.“Sometimes people in a band think they’re famous too and they’re really not. No one is paying attention to you. Just be okay with that. The gig is over, they’re going to have a party, I’m going to get a drink and sit in the back room and talk to the guys in the band and everyone is going to fawn all over Sting. I’m not saying this with bitterness. This is what it is. In my mind, I’m always kind of in the horn
section. When you work with popular singers, they’ll turn around and say, ‘Give it up for the hard-working boys in the band.’ That’s your name—the boys in the band.” Marsalis’ current quartet dates back to 1986 and is his primary means of expression. Pianist Joe Calderazzo and bassist Eric Revis count 20 years of service to the group while drummer Justin Faulkner is the rookie, having entered the fold back in 2009. He credits the continuity of the foursome being the key to pursuing more creative musical avenues. “Staying together allows us to play adventurous, sophisticated music and sound good. Lack of familiarity leads to defensive playing, playing not to make a mistake. I like playing sophisticated music, and I couldn’t create this music with people I don’t know,” he said. “You make the music challenging and every time they go out to work with another band and they’ll come back and say they miss this. Because that’s how I feel when I’m not playing with them because I really miss them. It’s because we have a very unique thing. Not that we just play together, but we’re still studying music, still listening to things and still trying to improve. And we’re constantly trying to improve and not technique improvement, but musical improvement. Technique improvement is a quest too, but more important is musical development.” But for Marsalis, the humility he’s

Will Your Financial Records Help Or Hurt You In A Tax Audit? Tax audits are all about verifying the information you provide or omit from a tax form. When income and expenses cannot be confirmed or are missing, the IRS or New York State Tax Department can make their own estimates, which often means you end up owing a lot more money than if you could support your own figures. In addition, if the IRS and New York State find that you owe back taxes, they can charge you penalties and interest as well as take various collection actions and even go after you criminally. As a result, if you receive an audit notice, one of the first things you should do is gather your financial records. Good financial record-keeping is one of the best ways to help your case in the event of an audit. In a typical audit, agents will examine a vast array of financial records, including bank statements, bills, receipts, past tax returns, W-2s, 1099s, sales records, company ledgers (if the taxpayer is a business) and other evidence of income and expenses. The documentation varies depending on the reason for the audit. For example, in a New York State residency audit

Million Dollar Quartet extended through March 8 at Engeman Theater
O
n Dec. 4, 1956, an extraordinary twist of fate brought Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley together at Sun Records in Memphis for what would be one of the greatest jam sessions ever. Featuring a treasure trove of hits from these music legends, including “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Fever,” “Walk The Line,” “Hound Dog,” “Who Do You Love?,” “Great Balls of Fire,” and many more, Million Dollar Quartet not only plays the music that made the Golden Age of Rock and Roll, it tells the stories of the men who created it. “The story is really about Sam Phillips, who discovered all four of these icons at Sun Records in Memphis, Tennessee,” said Luke Darnell, who plays the famed record producer. “He is hugely responsible for the sound of rock ‘n’ roll.” He added, “In the show, there’s a line about ‘if you’ve got talent, then I’ll pull it out of you,’ and apparently that Four of rock ‘n’ roll’s biggest stars came together one fateful night in 1956 at was really true.” Sun Records.

before Lewis’ career really took off. “I particularly like the storytelling in this show because it takes place on one singular night,” Carey said. “We don’t jump through time, we don’t see these people at different stages of their life. It’s one room and it’s four guys hanging out, getting to know each other, actually jamming.” Sky Seals, who plays the one and only Johnny Cash, explains how he approached the character on stage. “One of the first things actually our drummer, Dave [Sonneborn], who is the musical director, said to me is ‘just do ‘Folsom [Prison Blues]’ just like the record—you gotta hit some of those things so that people will go, ‘okay, Johnny’s here,’’” Seals said. “’Then you can start finding your own performance.’” The name Carl Perkins doesn’t resonate in quite the same way the names Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Jerry lee Lewis do. Sam Sherwood, portrays the singer-songwriter-rocker at a time when he was trying to get his career back on track. “Part of Carl Perkin’s story and a big part of the story of Million Dollar Quartet is how his career didn’t take off the way that it probably would have if things had been just a little bit different,” Sherwood explained. “He did have this huge triple-crown hit with ‘Blue Suede Shoes.’ Elvis
did record it and Elvis made it an even bigger hit than the Carl Perkins record. That pivotal moment unfortunately kind of took the wind out of Carl’s sails as far as having a successful career.” Elvis’ girlfriend at the time was fictionalized into the character of Dyanne, played by Sara Ellis in this production. “All of these musicians are fabulous and it’s just so fun as a musical theater performer [because] you never get to have the band with you on stage,” Ellis said, remarking that the band or orchestra are usually down below the stage in the pit. “Everyone is playing all their instruments live on stage. We have the flexibility to kind of play and try new licks and just have a ball on stage.” Million Dollar Quartet plays through March 8 at The John W. Engeman Theater, 250 Main St., Northport.

County Executive Pays A Visit To The Holy Land
BY JOSEPH WOLKIN
jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com
A
s anti-Semitic crimes took over headlines throughout New York, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran began to find ways to hear concerns from the Jewish community. Curran, at the March Against Anti-Semitism in Mineola, stood in solidarity with the Jewish community. However, that wasn’t enough for her. She began dedicating her time to synagogues in the county, meeting with Jewish leaders and congregations to figure out how to put an end to the rise in anti-Semitic crimes. Curran’s journey in the Jewish community led her to Rabbi Hershel Billet from the Young Israel of Woodmere. She had not been to Israel in about 25 years, when she did a travel story for the New York Daily News, and it was time to change that. “Going to the shuls reawakened my interest in going back to see what’s changed in the country,” Curran said. “I called Rabbi Billet and asked for some advice. We decided we’d just go together and make a trip of it.” The two organized the trip in rapid fashion, visiting the Jewish state for four days in early February. They went across the country, which is approximately the size of New Jersey, meeting with dignitaries to find out what life is like. Curran met with mayors of different Israeli cities, toured the Israeli capital of Jerusalem, went to the Jordan River and more. One of the mayors is from the southern city of Sderot, which is often the target of rockets fired from Gaza by Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists. All of the bus stops in the city are built to serve as bomb shelters.
“The mayor of Sderot, Alon Davidi, said that because they’re by the Gaza Strip, security is incredibly important,” Curran said. “But what struck me is that was just part of his job. He still has to deal with schools, sanitation and social services, so most of his attention goes to regular municipal functioning. In Nassau County, we don’t feel the same threat, but we share the fact that public safety is the most important function of local government.” Curran experienced a piece of the reality for Israelis who have to live with the constant threat of terrorism. One evening, she went to dinner at a restaurant and the next morning, a car-ramming incident injured almost a dozen Israeli soldiers a few yards away from where she was eating the night before. But what was the county executive’s biggest takeaway from her trip? “There’s a big culture of entrepreneurship in Israel,” Curran said. “The amount of change that I saw within those 25 years is staggering. One of my favorite moments was visiting the United Hatzalah in Jerusalem. There, you had people from all different faiths—Druze, secular Jews, Haredi Jews, Palestinians, Orthodox Jews—all in the same space getting ready to go out and help people. They were combined in this mission. Here, you had people from all over the country coming together for the common good. That, to me, was the most inspiring moment of the trip.” Curran came back to Nassau County with an inspiring message, one of peace. “When you really talk to people, wherever they’re from, there’s so much more that unites us and that we have in common than being divided,” she said.

CBD For Pets BY CYNDI ZAWESKI

B
y now we’ve all heard the buzz about CBD. Short for cannabidiol, CBD is a non-psychoactive marijuana extract that is being touted with helping with everything from stress management and anxiety, to inflammation and better sleep. For humans, it is becoming increasingly popular, whether taking the oil on its own or as an additive in cocktails. It is even available in gummy form. But it is not just people who can benefit from CBD. Studies at Cornell University bring great news for dogs. In particular, CBD has been shown to help pooches suffering from osteoarthritis. But it’s not only sick pups who can benefit. Research suggests that CBD can help with all-round wellness. Maintaining digestive health, emotional health and immune response are some of the ways CBD products can benefit pets. Offering 100 percent organic CBD products for animals, as well as humans, Naked Leaf was founded in 2018 by Heidi and Nathan Whitman to help their own rescue pets. The company recently launch CBD subscription box service stocked with a 90-day supply, delivered to your door. “Administering CBD to dogs who encounter a stressful situation can only benefit them,” Ms. Whitman said. “Situations from newly adopted dogs, to those in transport or ones experiencing loud noises, such as thunder or fireworks, can cause undue stress on a dog and can be mitigated with Naked Leaf CBD products. There will be a calming effect and the CBD will take the edge off, allowing for a more

manageable and happier pet.” For household pets, the subscriptions are available for large canines (30 pounds and up), small canines (2 to 30 pounds) and felines. The Canine Box contains two products: three bottles of CBD Daily Drops (in chicken
flavor) and three pouches of CBD Soft Chews. The CBD Daily Drops contain American-grown CBD Oil with a hint of organic chicken. The company recommends serving it on a dollop of their favorite food or treat. CBD Soft Chews contain five milligrams
of CBD and a natural beef flavoring. Easy-to-digest treat for dogs, the treats are formulated to relieve physical and mental discomfort. The Feline Box, also designed to promote wellness and a sense of calm, contains three bottles of CBD Daily Drops in tuna flavor and is best served at meal time, according to the company. The perfect dosage varies from person to person, and pet to pet. On that back of each product package, the company provides a dosing guide. The general wisdom is to start slow, gradually increase, and find the sweet spot, according to Naked Leaf. My Dog’s Review: From the moment the Canine Box was opened, Molly was intrigued. Clocking in at 55 pounds, our golden retriever mix was smitten by the smell of the CBD Soft Chew. She even tried to stick her nose in the bag before it was opened. We started off with two treats (the recommended dose is three a day), which was enough to mellow her out before an early work night bedtime. Now, we regularly incorporate the treats into her diet. It especially helps take the edge off during loud thunderstorms. Each subscription box comes with a subscription to NatuRx Magazine, webinar with CBD experts and other perks. Canine Boxes start at $53 per month. Feline Boxes are $41 per month. Learn more at nakedleaf.com/ subscriptions.

C
hildren as young as 5 years old report not liking their bodies. According to Common Sense Media, by age seven, one in four children will have tried some form of dieting behavior. Eating disorder hospitalizations for children under 12 have spiked 112 percent between the years 1999 and 2006. Parents play an important role in impacting how children feel about their bodies. Here are some tips:
FOOD TALK: Using judgmental words such as “good” or “bad” about food can create anxiety around eating and can lead to complicated relationships with food. One may identify as being “bad” when eating “bad food.” When we judge the food,we judge the eater of the food. Terms such as “sometimes food” and “any-time food” remove the shame connected to food while also encouraging self-regulation. Highlight how nutrients in food can lead to good health, such as
how eating nuts can help build brains or how eating carrots can help protect eyes. COMBAT STEREOTYPES: Media can strongly influence body image. Avoid shows and movies that have highly sexualized or stereotypical storylines. Pay attention to body portrayals. Even shows and toys that are targeted towards toddlers and preschoolers can have messages about gender and body

Knowing When To Play Ball Preparing young pitchers for little league
BY RUSSELL CAMHI
specialsections@antonmediagroup.com
I
f you’ve been around baseball long enough, you’ve probably heard or seen this horrific story: a young and talented pitcher has a menu of pitches—including a slider and a curveball—that dominate the rest of the league. Yet, his pitching career is cut short because he blew out his elbow or shoulder. Players, parents,coaches, league administrators and health care providers have often debated the appropriate age for a young player to begin throwing breaking pitches. One of the most influential elements is the often the misguided belief that throwing these types of pitches will accelerate a young athlete’s rise to stardom and bolster their chances of landing a college scholarship. While anything is possible,the odds are against it. Only one percent of high school athletes earn college scholarships. The increased stress and demand on a young pitcher’s elbow and shoulder will only leave them susceptible to significant injury. With participation in baseball and softball is soaring (up 3 million
Russell Camhi, DO, ATC participants between 2013 and 2018, according to Sports & Fitness Industry Association surveys), there’s increased emphasis to teach and develop younger players properly. So what is the appropriate age? In regard to curveballs and sliders, I recommend a player wait until he is 13 or 14 years old. It all depends on physical maturation and muscular development. You want to avoid overloading the shoulder and elbow. One of the first outward signs of pubertal development is facial hair and young boys starting to shave. You can also be evaluated by a sports physical
Four Sessions on our NY and LA Campuses
therapist or certified athletic trainer who can help you make the decision. The key is the longer you wait, and the more development a player endures, the more prepared he will be. In the meantime, young players can focus on throwing fastballs and change-ups while improving mechanics and pitch control. By delaying breaking pitches, you strengthen these foundational skills while minimizing risk of overuse and injury. The two most common injuries for pitchers are little league shoulder and little league elbow—inflammation or irritation of the growth plate. But there has also been a spike in ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) tears among younger players. UCL tears require Tommy John surgery, a significant procedure with at least nine months of recovery, where surgeons attach a new tendon by drilling holes into the humerus (top bone) and ulna (lower arm),threading the graft through and securing it via sutures,buttons or screws. Tommy John used to be limited to
professional and collegiate athletes, but is now being performed on pediatric pitchers because of the year-round specialization in one sport and/or prematurely trying to develop a curveball and slider. In 2018,research from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) showed that more than half (54.7percent)of parents encouraged their child to specialize in a single sport. This is not a good trend. Youth sports specialization, which is defined as playing a single sport more than eight months out of the year, can open children up to overuse and injury. Ideally,young athletes would get three consecutive months of rest and play on only one team at a time. In the days of travel ball, some players/parents choose to play on multiple teams throughout the spring and summer seasons, which heightens an individual’s risk. It’s fine to switch it up and play basketball or participate in track and field. This will keep the athlete healthy while changing the demands on the body and preserving the arm for the baseball season. A note on pitch counts and proper rest: some youth leagues impose mandated pitch counts for various age groups. For example, little league baseball only allows 7 and 8 year olds to pitch 50 pitches each day; 9 and 10 year olds 75 pitches; 11 and 12 year olds 85 pitches and 13 to 16 year olds 95 pitches. These are intended to keep a young player from overusing their arms. Parents should be empowered with this knowledge and monitor their child’s pitch count. Make sure the coach stays within the pitch count. Russell Camhi is a primary care and sports medicine physician with the Northwell Health Orthopedic Institute.

COLUMN approval, they may end up believing they need to change their appearance in order to gain approval. Focus on behaviors and talents over physical size and appearance. When discussing television, movies or books, discuss what the characters do and not what they look like. Talk positively about your own body and that of your child. Focus on health instead of weight and size. Talk about what you can do with your strong arms and what her body feels like when she runs and plays sports.
PARENTING MATTERS Graziella Simonetti
POSITIVITY from page 23A types. Female characters in family-friendly movies and shows are twice as likely to have unusually small waists as compared to the male characters. To combat the negative messages children may be receiving by watching certain programs, acknowledge these stereotypes and encourage conversations about them. Talk to them about how advertising photos and videos are changed to make people look taller, thinner or to have smoother skin. Highlight athletes and stars whose bodies are used to achieve something versus being used for attention or to achieve a particular look. WATCH YOUR WORDS: Speaking disparangingly about your body and appearance in front of your children can have negative consequences on how they view their own bodies.
Parents play an important role in impacting how children feel about their bodies. -Grazilla Simonetti
Children who grow up listening to their mothers speak negatively about their bodies typically end up not liking their own. Females whose fathers are critical of their daughters’ weight typically have negative views of their weight. Children may assume a poor self image if you speak poorly about your body, and they think they may be like you. They may see themselves as not being loveable. Since children are wired to seek a parents’ love and
EXERCISE: Discuss physical activity as a way to be healthy and help the body reach its potential versus being a means for weight loss. Exercise can help improve mood and can be a great social activity. Highlight how professional athletes come in all different shapes and sizes.

She holds an advanced certificate in parent education from Adelphi University and is a NYSPEP credentialed parenting educator.

PSEG Long Island Celebrates Engineers Week
SEG Long Island celebrated dozens of its engineer employees throughout Engineers Week. PSEG Long Island employs more than 140 people with an engineering job title or role, including field engineers, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, project engineers, power engineers, resource planning engineers, environmental engineers, industrial and systems engineers, substation engineers, resource planners, lead designers and more. “The diversity in job titles and the vast and varied roles engineers play at PSEG Long Island is a source of great pride,” said Daniel Eichhorn, president and COO of PSEG Long Island, who also holds an electrical engineering degree and is a licensed professional engineer (PE). “Our engineers design and maintain the electric infrastructure and ensure our customers have safe, reliable power today and also in the future.” PSEG Long Island employees are
PSEG Long Island celebrated Engineers Week with its employees from Feb. 16 through 21. (Photo courtesy of PSEG Long Island) highly skilled. More than two dozen are Licensed Professional Engineers (PE), which is the engineering profession’s highest standard of competence as deemed by the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE). In New York State, a PE requires a combination of education, several years of work experience and the successful completion of two day-long exams. Throughout the week of Feb. 16, across PSEG Long Island, engineers’
achievements and contributions were celebrated for Engineers Week. EWeek, as it is called, is dedicated to ensuring a diverse and well-educated future engineering workforce by increasing understanding of and interest in engineering and technology careers. The week also celebrated how engineers make a difference in our world. Community service is important to PSEG Long Island employees, and the engineers are no exception. Engineers
played a big role in the 30,000 community service hours PSEG Long Island employees completed last year. Weekends in February and March, groups of engineers and other employees are judging and refereeing robotics competitions. Throughout the year, individuals participate in mentoring in local schools assisting girls and boys with science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum and also serve as mentors for engineering students at local colleges. PSEG Long Island engineers also participate in community partnership events, including beach and grounds beautifications, food packing activities for Island Harvest Food Bank and more. EWeek was founded in 1951 by NSPE. This year, it was celebrated from Feb. 16 through 22. Follow the conversation on social media with the hashtag #eweek2020, or for more PSEG Long Island employee stories, follow #PSEGLIProud. —Submitted by PSEG Long Island

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 21 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.
INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND
ARIES (March 21-April 19). What is the difference between giving someone attention and giving someone close attention? Forget about them; think about you. The difference is your takeaway. Close attention leads to understanding, to learning and to the pride of earning an A. Cursory attention is a C+ at best. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your mind is crafty. It can turn anything into something else. Just try it out. Think of an elephant, and then turn it into a fish. That was so easy, it barely took a second. Now change your mind about a limiting belief. This trick takes longer, but it will be easy once you accept that it will make you better. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What is charm? You have it so innately that you don’t realize what you’re doing most of the time. It has to do with making the other person more important than you in the moment. It’s giving your whole self over. This will feel like a joy at times, and at other times, it will feel like a sacrifice. Both will serve you well this week. CANCER (June 22-July 22). How a message is delivered will be very important. As you walk around in the world, you’ll be aware of the sending of signals, sometimes subtle, sometimes desperate. Signals can be big, micro, meta, manipulative, artistic, mysterious, calculated. Your attention to communication will not be unpaid. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Reasons -- they are the solids the brain needs to function, the building blocks that allow for upward towers. Never underestimate the creativity alive in your brain. Reasons will be supplied. They don’t have to be true, make sense or be good ideas. And a hard “no” should be supplied to some of these reasons. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are people in your midst with talents you would like to have. Actually, you do have them. You just don’t realize it yet. Recognizing the talent in others is a sign that there’s something similar or complementary inside of you. And any time and effort you put into appreciation is the groundwork for what you might do. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Among the most significant triggers in the animal kingdom is the trigger of scent. This is why, in the ancient world, when events of significance were occurring, the government would fill the fountains with incense oils. You’ll be making an impression this week. Consider the power of scent. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Some popular things are off-putting to you, and some things that offend others seem fine to you. This is just the concept of “fit” in action. What if you thought that nothing was wrong or right? Everything would just be a, “Yeah, that’s for me” or a, “No, that’s not for me.” The need to judge things is often an overstated one. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you did a little too much of this or that, maybe the this or that is an area that you and yours need to put on the board under the category of “Things to work out.” We are all in this together after all. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Ideas bounce around in your head, and you want so badly to be able to pursue each one to its natural conclusion. Since that would be impossible, you’ll have fun sorting, prioritizing and letting some of the possibilities go. Later, when you look back, you’ll see this process as the most productive one. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Determination and resolve will pay off, though it would be nice not to feel like life is an uphill battle. Everything you do shouldn’t require massive expenditures of energy. You’ll assess your output with the aim of efficiency and doing things that contribute to the best parts of your life. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s said that the best things in life are free. Yet, we pay for things in our lives in different ways. So, it is just as true that nothing is free, as the next moment will cost a breath and our friendships will cost attention, and our love lives will cost expenditures of heart that we will gladly give, giving being most of the joy of life.

ith more than 750 participating athletes from as far as Seattle, WA, and Victoria, AU, Nassau County hosted the successful Land Down Under 5K on Saturday, Jan. 25 with the goal of benefiting the recovery efforts of Australia’s historic and catastrophic wildfires. The event, held at Nassau County’s Cedar Creek Park in Seaford, raised a total of 42,000 Australian dollars, which went directly to the CFA (Victoria Country Fire Authority) and the RFS (NSW Rural Fire Authority). In addition, proceeds from T-shirt sales were directed to Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors, home of the Irwin’s. Normally competitors, the event was organized by the region’s leading race curators, elitefeats, RaceAwesome, EventPower and PR Timing. “I was deeply saddened to hear of the unprecedented bushfires devasting Australia, killing an estimated 1.25 billion animals to date,” Nassau County Executive Laura Curran said. “I want to thank the leaders of Long Island’s running community for racing to support the ongoing efforts of the brave men and women putting their lives on the line to combat this environmental crisis. I was proud to run alongside hundreds of passionate Nassau County residents and I applaud everyone for coming together for this cause.” Jonathan Schloth, 23, of Lynbrook, crossed the finish line first at a little more than 17 minutes or about five minutes and 11 seconds per mile. Eric Repp, 18, finished second among males at about 17 minutes and 30 seconds with a pace of five minutes and 38 seconds per mile. John Schwab, of North Bellmore, finished third among men at 17 minutes and 35 seconds or a pace of five minutes and 50 seconds per mile. Una Broderick, 53, of Wantagh, finished first among women at 20 minutes and 52 seconds or six minutes and 43 seconds per mile, while Jayne Paskoff, also 53, of Lynbrook, finished second at 22 minutes and six seconds or seven minutes and four seconds per mile. Christina Bordonaro, 51, finished third at 23 minutes and three seconds or seven minutes and 24 seconds per mile.

the race and in a press conference to urge participation and support. Jack Hanley, of Babylon, and Howard Kestenbaum, of Plainview, both older than 80 years old, completed the race. Helma Clavin, of Lake Ronkonkoma, and Carol Rivera, of Lindenhurst, both older than 75, also crossed the finish line. Among the youngest runners, Robert, 13, finished first for males 14 and under while Kaitlyn, 10, of Glen Head, finished first in the under 14 category for females. “The response of the Long Island racing community was overwhelming,” Brendan Dagan, acting CEO of elitefeats, said. “In less than three weeks, we came together to support this global crisis. We are grateful to have been part of this event.” For the event, EliteFeats built out the registration platform and is provided the equipment and staff. PR Timing provided the bibs, chips and staff. Both companies did this at zero cost. EventPower and RaceAwesome provided staff, course set up, logistics, equipment, music, post-race soup and more, all at zero cost. There were no T-shirts or medals provided to runners to ensure every dollar went to the charities. “The event was a raging success, it showed to power of a community united,” Corey Roberts, Australia native and founder of RaceAwesome, said. “We are extremely lucky to be a part of this great community of runners.” —Submitted by Nassau County

We’re just some jackasses on stage and we’re forced to learn this [stuff], so we learn it. But when we deliver it, we deliver it like four jackasses and everyone can relate to the Four Stooges,” he said. “You don’t have to go to music school. We’re not going to try and tell you our music is a reconciliation of 4/4 and the Pythagorean Theorem. We’re just four dudes on the stage playing music that we like and some of it you will like and some of it you will not like. But the ones you like, you’re really going to like.” The Branford Marsalis Quartet will be appearing on Feb. 27 at the Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts, 71 E. Main St., Patchogue.

Branford’s Best Blowers While Branford Marsalis may have started playing saxophone as a way of trying to attract cute girls while he was playing in an R&B band as a teen (“...it didn’t work...all the cute girls went after the lead singer and guitarist,”) he’s always remained true to his craft. While he continues to be music obsessive, keeping his ears open to different artists regardless of genre, he’s still quick to turn to the masters. “I’ve learned a lot from them and continue to listen to them. Not as much as I used to, because I listen to other things, but I will always turn back to them,” he said. Here are a trio of incredible musicians the North Carolina resident continues to turn to. Sidney Bechet (May 14, 1897 to May 14, 1959) “He had this lineage to the sound of New Orleans that we never knew. There are other clarinetists that he played like. It’s like when you listen to King Oliver, you realize that Louis Armstrong is King Oliver 2.0. He’s playing a lot of the same ideas that some of the early clarinetists were playing, but he plays it with a prettier and larger sound. And he did it with more emotional appeal and charisma. I learned a lot from him, listening to his records and learning how to approach the soprano [saxophone] and how to play with a certain sound and style.” Lester Young (August 27, 1909 to March 15, 1959) “Lester Young carries this idea of complexity with simplicity. All of my students can play all this Coltrane stuff—not as well as they think they can. But because Coltrane’s playing was linear, it’s approachable. You can put it in a book and make it work. You give a guy like that a Lester Young record, and this is some of the simplest stuff in the world to play, and they can’t play it. Or they can play the notes and I’m like, ‘No son, you’ve got to make it sound a Lester Young certain way.’ And they can’t make it sound that way. You have to (Photo by William listen to the music to know what I mean. It’s just an incredible way to Gottlieb/Public domain) play an instrument.” Coleman Hawkins (November 21, 1904 to May 19, 1969) “Coleman Hawkins was the precursor to Charlie Parker. He was the first guy to have this certain kind of vertical technique. Charlie Parker took it to the next level. Coleman had this really amazing sound. It was a very strange vibrato.” —By Dave Gil de Rubio

EVERYTHING’S BETTER with BACON Why the bacon trend will never end BY CYNDI ZAWESKI
czaweski@antonmediagroup.com
Bacon is the breakfast food that defies mealtimes. Smokey, salty, slightly sweet and crispy, in today’s bacon-obsessed foodie culture it is almost hard to imagine a time when Americans all but outlawed bacon for its high fat content. In the 90s, low-calorie, low-fat defined dietary guidelines, but the advent of high-fat, low-carb diets brought bacon back into the mainstream. Some food historians give credit to Atkins, and more recently Paleo and Keto, to making it acceptable to moderately indulge in strips of bacon as part of a regular eating plan.
T
hey didn’t have to tell us twice. The average American eats 18 pounds of bacon a year for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In fact, one poll indicated that 65 percent of Americans would support making bacon the official food of the United States. Bacon mania has led to the rise of some, um, interesting flavor combinations. Infiltrating bakeries in the form of bacon maple doughnuts and bars as candied bacon Bloody Marys. Bacon flavoring (with no actual bacon included) alone has become somewhat of a phenomenon. Take bacon beer, bacon lollipops, bacon cotton candy, bacon potato chips and bacon mustard. Some of the options are even vegan. Even as these products teeter the line between novelty and downright absurd (manufacturers
might have jumped the shark with bacon toothpaste), the trend is not sizzling out. Global bacon sales are forecasted to increase by 4.17 percent between 2019 and 2024, with North America continuing to hold on tight to its position as bacon’s largest market, according to the market research firm Mordor Intelligence. So while it may seem that our nation can’t love bacon more than they already do, it appears our hearts will grow fonder still. Perhaps it’s bacon’s versatility (and that it’s slightly sinful, nutritionally speaking) that gives it its added allure. Because innovative chefs have made it clear that bacon is as much an ingredient as it is a standalone food, here are a few out of the box ways to enjoy it to the fullest.
Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Bacon, Brie and Pear 4 slices center-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch thick pieces 2 pats unsalted butter, room temperature 2 slices bread, 1-inch thick 2 to 4 oz brie ¼-inch thick slice pear Salt and black pepper Directions: Cook bacon on the stovetop until golden brown and crisp. Remove extra grease with a paper towel. Break each piece into fourths, set aside. Spread butter on 1 side of each slice of bread. Layer on brie, pear and bacon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Grill the sandwich on a hot skillet until the bread is golden brown on both sides and the brie has melted.

Take The Tramway To Roosevelt Island Middle class living in the big city BY JOE SCOTCHIE
jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com
M
anhattan Island is the most famous such area in the world. Sitting next to it, near the Queensboro Bridge is another island. The history of Roosevelt Island mirrors that of the city: from Dutch to English through various names and various functions to finally, the pleasant residential section it is today. Since various peoples have at one time or another occupied the island, the name reflects those cultural realities. First settled by the Canarsie Indian tribe, it was called Minnehanock. During the Dutch era, it was Varkens Eylandt or Hog’s Island, suggesting that the land was quite bountiful. On it went. Once the British seized the land from the
Dutch, it became Blackwell’s Island. From 1921 to 1973, it had the dubious name of Welfare Island, referring to its standing as a place for hospitals and prisons. As prisoners were later transferred to Riker’s Island, the island, in 1973, was named for Franklin D. Roosevelt. Since then, the island has enjoyed a reputation for middle-class living in the big city, plus as a site for numerous television and movie showings, all highlighted by the famous tramway services that transported its residents to and from Manhattan. The Dutch reign over the island was brief. In 1637, a local Dutch governor acquired the land from the Canarsie tribe. Twenty-nine short
years later, the English defeated the Dutch in a battle of control of New York City. Captain John Manning led the victorious British fleet. Manning’s son-in-law, Robert Blackwell, became the island’s governor, building the island’s first house in 1796, a structure that stands to this day. The British left their mark. In 1832, the first prison was completed. In 1839, a lunatic asylum was built, followed by a smallpox hospital in 1856. Four years later, a city hospital was constructed. The 20th century got off with a bang, with construction beginning

HISTORY
known more for healing centers than penitentiaries. In 1955, another landmark, the Welfare Island bridge, opened, giving truck and automobile
access to the island. Its current era as a residential island was underway. In 1973, the island was given its current name and in honor of Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Four Freedoms Park was opened in 2012. In between, came the most spectacular development: the 1976 opening of the Roosevelt Island Tramway. The island, in its prison heyday, housed such famous lawbreakers as Emma Goldman (support for anarchism, birth control and against the military draft), Billie Holiday (prostitution), Dutch Schultz (burglary), Mae West (public obscenity charges for her 1926 play, Sex), Boss Tweed (corruption) and finally, one Madame Restell, imprisoned for performing abortions. On a more entertaining note, Roosevelt Island has been home to scenes from American literature, movies and television shows. Prison characters on the island have made their way into works by Horatio Alger, Stephen Crane (Maggie: A Girl of the Streets), O. Henry, Eugene O’Neill
and F. Scott Fitzgerald (a driving scene from The Great Gatsby.) On the silver screen, the tramway is best remembered for a hostage scene from a 1977 film, Nighthawks, a popular Sylvester Stallone and Billy Dee Williams vehicle. The young hero played by Timothy Hutton from the pro-graffiti film, Turk 182, also takes a swing along the tramway. Martin Scorsese’s 2002 blockbuster, The Gangs of New York, also revisits Roosevelt Island during its penitentiary days, with the lead character played by Leonardo DiCaprio doing time in a reform house. But it is a rarity—middle class living in the big city—that remains Roosevelt Island’s greatest attribute, one that will hopefully remain that way for years to come. As of the last census, a little more than 11,000 New Yorkers call the island home.

March Madness Looms BY CHRISTOPHER BIRSNER AND JOSEPH WOLKIN cbirsner@antonmediagroup.com • jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com
Hofstra Pride Under head coach Joe Mihalich, the Hofstra men’s basketball team has been a tough out in any game they play. At times, they’ve even been unstoppable. After putting themselves in perfect position to be the top seed in the Colonial Athletic Association tournament, the Pride will try once again to get into the NCAA Tournament for the first time in decades. The stars have changed over the years, but the approach to tackling the season still hasn’t changed for Mihalich. “Our preparation is the same even though every team is different,” Mihalich said. “You going to have different concerns and different areas that you want to emphasize more of, but the preparations have been the same every year of my life. From being fundamentally sound to concentrating on developing your players individually on the court, there’s really nothing different.” This year’s squad is led by senior guards Eli Pemberton and Desure Buie. Pemberton recently became the ninth all-time scorer for Hofstra basketball, putting him among the greatest players to come through the Mack Sports Complex. “He is literally one of our all-time greats,” Mihalich said. “He is playing like a first-team all-conference guy. With him, we’ll be a good enough team to win the whole thing.” Buie, meanwhile, currently leads the team in points, assists and
Stony Brook Seawolves
steals. In his fifth year on the squad, Buie will play an important role in trying to break the long tournament drought. “Desure Buie is one of the greatest leaders I’ve ever met in my life,” Mihalich said. “He’s a high character guy. He makes everyone around him a better player and person. He sets the tone in the locker room, on the court and on campus. He’s what Hofstra basketball is all about.” But Mihalich had praise for the rest of his starters as well. He believes forward Issac Kante, who leads the team in rebounds, has gotten better every game. He also raved about Tareq Coburn, one of the team’s most productive shooters and rebounders, and Jalen Ray who, when paired with Buie, form one of the best backcourts “you’ll ever see,” according to Mihalich. He also noted that forwards Stafford Trueheart and Kevin Schutte have done well coming off the bench. With only two games before the conference tournament, Hofstra will look to continue their production to hopefully break through and make the national tournament for the first time since Jay Wright led the program. Mihalich has said he wants his players to remain focused and just take care of one play at a time, one game at a time. He also offers this advice to his players. “Stay humble, stay hungry,” Mihalich said.

The team out east is making a strong run at earning a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the second time in school history. Stony Brook head coach Geno Ford, who was promoted last March after serving as an assistant since 2016, is leading what is arguably the best Seawolves squad since they made the tournament in 2016. Ford took over with a clear goal: bringing the team back into March Madness. Thus far, it seems like that might happen. If the Seawolves can topple No. 1-seeded Vermont in the America East playoffs, they will make Long Island history by making multiple tournament appearances within the same decade. But the Seawolves are quite different from what they were a few years ago. Junior guard Elijah Olaniyi is one of the most prolific scorers in Stony Brook history, recently putting up a career-high 33 points against UMass Lowell. He’s also a force to be reckoned with on defense, averaging 6.6 RPG. Olaniyi is closing in on Stony Brook great Jameel Warney’s mark of 19.8 PPG during the 2015-16
season. Warney soon before the first Seawolf to play in a NBA game for the Dallas Mavericks. But when Warney graduated, there was a major gap missing. Now, Olaniyi and fellow junior guard Makale Foreman, who averages 15 PPG, are on the charge. The Seawolves’ offense is better than ever before, averaging 71.2 PPG, which is better than Vermont’s 70.6 PPG. Ford’s team is also incredibly strong on defense, with both Mouhamadou Gueye and Jeff Otchere averaging more than 1.5 BPG. As the Seawolves make their way into the America East playoffs, the key will be to tighten up their handling skills. The team averages 14.6 turnovers each game, and that can end any shot at making it into the NCAA Tournament. If Ford can lead the Seawolves to the playoffs, he’ll follow the legacy of former coach Steve Pikiell, who later took over the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. This time around, they can’t let Ford go. They must focus on building this program for years to come.
