Happy Hour Just Got A Little Bit

ith options like strawberry white sangria sorbet, tequila Mexican “hot” chocolate and vanilla bean bourbon, good luck picking your frozen poison. Tipsy Scoop, a liquor-infused ice cream-making company that has been gaining widespread attention across Manhattan, has recently opened its first storefront “barlour” on East 26th Street between Second and Third avenues, ushering in sweet tooth-bearing patrons 21 years of age and older. Prior to opening the doors of its brick-and-mortar shop on Sunday, May 7, founder Melissa Tavss and Chief Operating Officer/partner Lyz Nardo operated out of a production facility in Harlem, with its products available for purchase only through its website and in select local retailers and supermarkets. “We started about three years ago just doing catered events, and later began selling wholesale to specialty stores and grocery chains,” said Tavss. “About a year ago there were videos made about us that went completely viral on Facebook and people started coming to our Harlem facility, which is actually really hard to find. More and more kept visiting, so we would sell them pints, but we knew they wanted more of a branded ice cream store experience.” After seeking spaces in locations

like the East Village, which were often too small and overpriced, Tavss found the Kips Bay location at 217 East 26th St., central to many other restaurants, bars and cultural hotspots. Before the store’s grand opening, the boozy ice cream, with alcohol percentages up to 5 percent, could be purchased either by the pint or in the form of cakes, ice cream sandwiches and party packs. The perfectly-portioned customizable party packs make for memorable event favors, often used for bridal showers, birthday parties and corporate events. The company gets frequent requests for unique labels as a way to ask people to be a part of their weddings, the most commonly used flavors being dark chocolate whiskey salted caramel for the groomsmen and red velvet martini for the bridesmaids. For Tavss, whose personal favorite is spiked hazelnut coffee, made with Patron XO Cafe Liquor, hazelnut liqueur and cold brew coffee, venturing into a business of this sort seemed intuitive, hailing from a family of ice cream makers from Italy, who brought gelato carts to Scotland. Though her for-adults-only product is a far cry from the childhood favorite treat, Tipsy Scoop is very much an homage to her roots. The idea to give a boozy twist to the product she grew up with came about while working a marketing job for liquor brands, during which the company would host parties that

served foods infused with the spirits they represented. “Adding alcohol to recipes is something that a lot of chefs have been experimenting with lately,” said Tavss. “I thought to myself it would be cool if food actually had alcohol content that didn’t get burned out through the cooking process.” A typical serving is roughly equivalent to one light beer, requiring quite a bit for one to get their buzz on. But, to purchase Tipsy Scoop products, customers must provide proper identification indicating that they are at least 21 years old. At the grand opening of the bar-like ice cream parlor, complete with exposed brick walls, dim, amber

lighting and authentic barstools, bouncers were present at the entrance, where the first 25 customers received dollar scoops and the first 50 were presented with the option of a free “ice cream wasted” tank or Tipsy Scoop tote bag. With just a few days in operation, Tipsy Scoop is already proving to be a worthwhile community attraction, presenting New York natives and outof-towners alike with an intoxicating summer treat that doesn’t force you to choose between dessert or a nightcap.

Marty Stuart: New Traditionalist Watchman BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

icon’s youngest daughter. Stuart also became friends with Heartbreakers’ guitarist Mike Campbell (who also produced Stuart’s current recording Way Out West) after Cash invited Stuart to play on his 1996 recording Unchained alongside Tom Petty and his band.

dgilderuBio@antonmediagroup.com

n the fickle and often conservative world of country music, Marty Stuart stands out as a torchbearer of the genre who preaches the new traditionalist word with help from his Fabulous Superlatives. Having grown up in Philadelphia, MS, obsessed by the genre ever since he was five, Stuart takes his role as an archivist very seriously, having apprenticed under the likes of Lester Flatt, Doc Watson and Johnny Cash before having his own spate of success on Music Row in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Between his encyclopedic musical knowledge, penchant for wearing Nudie suits and tireless devotion to country music’s heritage, Stuart is one cool Nashville cat. Here are three things you might not know about him.

2. The Man In Black Looms Large In His Life Dating back to when a then-11year-old Stuart’s mom took him and his sister to a Johnny Cash show in December 1969, the totemic country singer has been ever-present throughout the hillbilly rocker’s life. Cash not only eventually hired Stuart to play in his band, but the latter was briefly married to the late

first two records he ever owned when he was five—Flatt & Scrugg’s Greatest Hits and The Fabulous Johnny Cash. It was also the centerpiece of a 2007 Tennessee State Museum exhibit called “Sparkle & Twang: Marty Stuart’s American Musical Odyssey.” It later appeared at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and the Arkansas Statehouse Museum.

3. He Walks The Historical Walk While Stuart’s six-term stint as president of the Country Music Foundation from 1996 to 2002 is impressive, he’s been the consummate country music ambassador. He’s served as a producer for late career comeback records by country music legends Porter Wagoner and wife Connie Smith, and launched his Superlatone Records imprint as an outlet for overlooked southern gospel and roots music recordings. His dressing room at the Grand Ole Opry appropriately enough was previously occupied by Ernest Tubb, Marty Robbins and Wagoner.

DINING

Raising The Steaks

BY STEVE MOSCO SmoSco@antonmediagroup.com

he mere thought of venturing to Philadelphia for a sandwich is enough to make some people cringe—not only is it a long drive, but the City of Brotherly Love’s citizens don’t exactly welcome New Yorkers with open arms. But who wants to be welcomed into that city with open arms? Instead, let Philadelphia’s signature sandwich welcome you with open bread at Fat Ernie’s Cheesesteak Co. Much closer to home at 249-24 Jericho Tpke. in Floral Park, Fat Ernie’s is a Long Island original that disposes of the notion that great cheese steaks are only available in Philly. Fat Ernie’s allows customers to build their own cheese steaks, with rib-eye or chicken, plus a choice of toppings—everything from hot cherry peppers to sautéed mushrooms—and nine cheeses including provolone and Whiz cheddar cheese sauce. For a taste of the classic sandwich, order rib-eye with grilled onions and Whiz cheese sauce. Fat Ernie’s steak is sliced super thin, seasoned and grilled. The lean meat develops a flavorful crust on the flat top and is juicy without attacking the eater with grease, while the Whiz cheese sauce permeates throughout each bite with that singular zesty flavor only found in Whiz. And the long, hearty roll offers full support of the fillings, but it is pillowy soft to the bite. If you’d prefer Fat Ernie’s to decide the toppings for you, order one of the eatery’s signature sandwiches, which are available in both chicken and steak. The Burn-N-Ern is a fiery entry, with jalapeños, ghost pepper cheese, hot cherry peppers and crispy fried onions. The sandwich is sweat-inducing and might prove too much for anyone who doesn’t consider themselves a chili-head. The Buffalo Cheeseteak is another spicy offering, but it boasts that buffalo flavor most eaters are accustomed to. Best with Fat Ernie’s thinly slicked chicken, it piles on marble blue cheese, bacon and sautéed onions with classic buffalo sauce.

Fat Ernie’s in Floral Park is Long Island’s cheese steak haven. Other signature sandwiches include Italian and Pizza cheese steaks. The Gold Coast Selection menu brings a decidedly richer price point, with Filet Mignon Cheesesteak, Kobe Wagyu Burger and Grilled Lobster Sandwich served on a Kings Hawaiian bun. Other choices include wings, mozzarella sticks, Angus beef hot dogs and the E-Z-E, a slow-roasted pulled pork sandwich on grilled sourdough bread topped with cheddar cheese, sautéed onions and a smoky barbecue sauce. A must-order side dish is Fat Ernie’s Sidewinder Fries. This is what happens when you take steak fries and turn them into curly fries. Thick, spiraled cut, these fries are crisp outside and creamy potato inside. Don’t be bashful with these—feel free to load them up

with chili and cheese sauce. One intriguing menu item is the Ricotta Grilled Cheese sandwich—it pairs especially well with mozzarella and looks and tastes like a calzone with no rules. The oozing, gooey cheese that overflows from the sandwich becomes delicious dipping fodder for those Sidewinder fries. And for something sweet and refreshing, Fat Ernie’s sells Hershey’s Ice Cream.

Roots Rocking Way Out West With Marty Stuart BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderuBio@antonmediagroup.com

The term Cosmic American Music is inextricably tied to the late Gram Parsons and refers to a musical crossroads where country, folk and rock collide in a glorious psychedelia-kissed pileup. So it goes on Way Out West, Marty Stuart’s latest studio effort that was produced by Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell. The deep and rich mystique of California culture provided a font of inspiration for these 15 songs that found the Mississippi native taking the cracker-jack Fabulous Superlatives out to the storied Capitol Records recording studio to record a good chunk of the record. It’s a project that Stuart knew he needed to create on the Left Coast. “Everything that came out of California captivated my kid mind in Mississippi,” Stuart admitted. “[Way Out West] started with a song called ‘Mexico’ and the idea was that I wanted to capture a mood that was cinematic and reflected the space you experience out in the Mojave Desert.

It would reflect that kind of openness with a little bit of a psychedelic touch to it. I also knew that I’d have a better shot of getting that kind of cinematic sound that I was looking for in California that I wouldn’t be able to get in Nashville.” The Fabulous Superlatives are a solid anchor thanks to the efforts of guitarist Kenny Vaughan (Lucinda Williams), bassist Chris Scruggs (BR549) and drummer Harry Stinson (Steve Earle). With this kind of talent, Stuart and his compadres are firing on all cylinders, starting with the instrumental “Mojave,” which uses a combination of airy twang and dive-bombing chords to scale some of the soaring aural terrain traversed by surf rock god Dick Dale. This menacing vibe continues on the vocal-free “Quicksand,” which uses a militaristic cadence and boatloads of echo to form a spiritual connection with Link Wray’s “Rumble.” Elsewhere, Stuart does yeoman’s work tapping

into his country music influences be it Bakersfield (the trucker’s ode “Whole Lotta Highway [With a Million Miles to Go]”) or Marty Robbins (the twangy waltz “Lost On the Desert”). One of Stuart’s best originals on this project, “Time Don’t Wait,” has Campbell joining the Fabulous Superlatives on this infectious number that sounds like a recently discovered 1966-era Byrds outtake. Equally impressive are a pair of obscure covers—a rollicking take on Benny Goodman’s “Air Mail Special” and the Johnny Cash-flavored title cut, which uses spoken vocals, an atmospheric production touch and meandering arrangements to paint a picture of one person going on a fever dream-soaked spiritual quest. It’s a collaboration that Campbell, who first played with Stuart on Cash’s 1996 album Unchained, enjoyed immensely. “Working with Marty and the Superlatives was a blast and it was fast. My role was easy, just set up the sound and let them play,” he explained. “Great guitars, great grooves, great vocals—they just have it all. This record is one of my favorite things that I have ever been involved with.” With the record in the can, Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives are out on the road playing smaller venues before hooking up with Chris Stapleton for a fall tour. And while many casual music fans may not know about Stuart’s deep ties to country

music that found him cutting his teeth playing with bluegrass legend Lester Flatt as a mandolin-playing teen prodigy or later getting hired to help anchor Cash’s band, Stuart is nonetheless eager to spread the gospel of American roots music. With the high level he and his Fabulous Superlatives are playing at, the 58-year-old singer-songwriter welcomes the challenge of bringing fellow believers into the fold by way of a well-placed live music experience. “I think there’s a time in every band’s life, whether it’s the Rolling Stones or anyone else, where they end up in a [creative] place where they end up with what I call a blue halo or blue aura around them where they’re at their peak if you go see them play live. As a music fan, it’s the kind of experience that you wind up having where 20 years from now, you’ll look back and say that you saw that group at that particular time,” Stuart said. “I think that time is happening right now for the Fabulous Superlatives and it’s certainly giving us motivation to live up to the band’s name. Right now, we’re winding across America, playing a lot of rock and roll rooms and finding a new audience. We’re introducing ourselves and our music to a new audience as well as inviting our old friends to come along, so that’s the mission at hand.

BOCES Culinary Student Nominated For National Award High school senior, Sofia Gutierrez (pictured) and Nassau BOCES Barry Tech Culinary student has been nominated to the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program. “It’s exciting to be in the running for this award,” said Gutierrez. “Coming to Barry Tech is the best of my day; I get to do what I love and my academics have improved.” Gutierrez is the senior class president at West Hempstead High School and is the head of the school’s student council. She organizes everything from the senior prom fashion show to class night, where they do sports, skits and dance. She was nominated by her school guidance counselor for this honor. “I’ve always been interested in culinary—baking and pastries are my favorite,” Gutierrez said. “Before my dad passed away, we baked together a lot. He was a baker chef at Hofstra University and I always cooked with him.” Her culinary journey started when she baked a cake for her school’s guidance office and, “they suggested that I apply for the Barry Tech culinary program. I’m so happy I did,” said Gutierrez who will be attending Johnson and Wales in the fall. The U.S. Presidential Scholars Program was established in 1964, by executive order of the president, to recognize and honor some of our nation’s most distinguished graduating high school seniors. The final winners will be announced by the end of the month.

Teens: Cook What You Want To Eat Cooking for teens, like finding the perfect gift for teen boys and girls, is almost impossible. Teenagers like what they like, and they will only eat what they like. But instead of causing mealtime strife, now they can learn to cook those foods themselves in Teens Cook: How to Cook What You Want to Eat by Megan, Jill and Judi Carle. With more than 75 delicious recipes for meals at all times of the day—breakfast, snacks, sides, dinners and dessert, too—Teens Cook is a guide to everything teenagers (and tweens) need to learn about conquering the kitchen without accidentally setting the house on fire. Written by teens and for teens in easy-to-follow instructions, the Carle authors give young readers advice on how to maneuver their kitchen in a language they’ll understand (and actually listen to). The Carles pass on their knowledge of how to decipher culinary vocabulary, understand kitchen chemistry (why stuff goes right and wrong when

cooking), adapt recipes to certain dietary restrictions (like vegetarianism), and avoid all sorts of possible kitchen disasters. Teens Cook is not only a fantastic teen gift—it’s the perfect cookbook to inspire young adults to take an interest in their diets, and empower them to try a new and tasty hobby. Purchase Teens Cook where books are sold, $19.99.

20 Tips For The Healthiest Memorial Day Barbecue Encourage Smaller Portions

CHOOSING HEALTH Stefani Pappas RDN, CDN, CPT vegetables to grill include large portabello mushrooms, eggplant, zucchini and asparagus.

Choose The Leanest Cuts of Beef & Pork

Any cuts from the loin are considered lean. Try a pork tenderloin or beef sirloin for some lean red meat options.

Grilled Vegetables

Offer Vegetarian Options

Be sensible about serving sizes. Instead of grilling extra large burgers, cook smaller burgers to promote portion control. For chicken kabobs, use smaller pieces of meat and alternate with vegetables. Cut sausages in half instead of grilling them whole.

13A

Marinate vegetables for about an hour before putting them on the grill. When you cook them directly over medium heat and turn them frequently, they usually are done within 10 minutes. My favorite

Instead of overloading on red meat at the barbecue, offer some vegetarian-friendly options. Grill a few flavorful black bean burgers and vegetable kabobs.

Swap Mayo Out For Greek Yogurt

5 6

Greek yogurt is a light alternative to regular mayonnaise. When making potato salads or other dishes, try Greek yogurt instead of mayo or use half mayo/ half Greek yogurt.

Limit Processed Meats

Hot dogs, sausages, bacon, and ham are examples of processed meats. The American Institute of Cancer Research has reported that processed meats are linked to increased colorectal cancer risk. Try to keep these items to a limit, and eat in moderation on Memorial Day.

7 8

Grilled Fruit For Dessert

Grilling caramelizes the natural sugars in fresh fruit. Some of my favorite fruits to put on the grill are peaches, plums, and pineapple.

Up The Omega 3s

Fish can grill up beautifully and provides a healthy dose of omega-3 fatty acids. Try salmon, swordfish or tuna steaks for easy grilling. Add some walnuts to a large green salad for more of an omega-3 boost.

Long Islanders Turn Out In Droves For Climate March BY KIMBERLY DIJKSTRA

kdijkstra@antonmediagroup.com

Long Beach’s 2¼-mile-long boardwalk became the site of a People’s Climate March on Washington DC sister march early Saturday morning, April 29, with more than 1000 participants from Long Island and nearby areas. The event coincided with the President’s 100th day in office and occurred simultaneously with 300 other marches nationwide, drawing more than 200,000 attendees. “We are standing where the ravages of climate change, by that I mean Hurricane Sandy, and more like it to come, wreaked havoc on this community,” said New York State Senator Todd Kaminsky (9th District). “We don’t have the option of turning our backs anymore.” Then he led a chant, “We believe in facts. We believe in facts.” “We are here because we care about Mother Earth and all she does to sustain and bring us joy,” said Executive Director of Long Beach Latino Civic Association Helen Dorado Alessi.

There were more than 1000 people in attendance at the People’s Climate March in Long Beach on April 29. (Photos by Kimberly Dijkstra) She added, “As the country which produces the largest amount of CO2 emissions on this planet, we are responsible for changing our poor

behavior and holding all nations accountable for making progress and signing onto the Paris Accord.” “We have spent the last 100 days

bearing witness to President Trump’s dismantling of the protections that we have for the environment,” said Executive Vice President of

Attendees signed their names to a banner for Governor Cuomo. Communication Workers of America Local 1108 Mike Gendron. “The fact is we live on an island. Climate change is very real for us,” he continued. “As we look to transition from fossil fuels to clean renewable energy, we know we’re not going to be able to count on the White House, so we’ve got to get our state houses to do that for us.” Next, Jessica Carreiro, of Stewards of the Sea, took the platform. Only 14 years old, she spoke eloquently and enthusiastically. “Nobody’s face is going unnoticed and everybody’s voice is being heard and I want everyone to know that because that is what’s important,” Carreiro said. “There is a lot of power and energy right here today,” said Laura Curran, 5th District Nassau County Legislator. “Together we can send the message to Washington that our environment matters and that the science is real.” New York State Assemblyman Charles Lavine (District 13) acknowledged the presence of Planned Parenthood representatives at the rally. “For years Planned Parenthood has been the scapegoat of a philosophy that wants to take us back at least half a century,” he said. “We are 100 days into the most regressive political administration that we have had in our lifetime,” Lavine continued. “Everything that we care about is in jeopardy.” “Clean water is a human right. Education based on facts is a human right,” said Long Beach Council Member Anissa D. Moore. “Mother nature matters and our beloved planet is worth fighting for.”

Neighbors joined hands for a moment of silence on the boardwalk. A theme of the rally was support for New York’s offshore wind farm project, which was approved by Long Island Power Authority in January. The 15-turbine wind farm will be built between the eastern tip of Long Island and Martha’s Vineyard. The 1-mile march concluded at the east end of the boardwalk, where organizers led attendees in a moment of silence while seated and grasping their neighbors’ hands. A banner, to be sent to Governor Andrew Cuomo, was laid out with permanent markers for marchers to sign their names and zip codes. The banner demands the governor “reconstruct our clean water infrastructure, fund communities impacted by climate change and [create] local, union, renewable jobs.” The Long Island Climate Summit is scheduled for June 11. Details about time and location to be announced. The event will take the momentum from the Long Island People’s Climate March and create an Islandwide effort to build renewable power and a renewable economy. The Long Island People’s Climate March was endorsed by New York Civil Liberties Union, New York Immigration Coalition, Long Island Jobs with Justice, Communication Workers of America Local 1108, Long Island Bus Riders’ Union, U.S. Green Building Council – Long Island and Working Families New York and cosponsored by Long Island Progressive Coalition, All Our Energy, Interfaith Power & Light, Sane Energy Project, Sierra Club and Stewards of the Sea.

Get Outdoors

Memorial Day Weekend is the perfect time to get outside and enjoy the weather. Plan a family hike or trip to the beach to enjoy the beautiful weekend.

Flavor Up Lean Meats

You can still get great flavor with leaner meats. Marinate them for 24 hours to enjoy delicious flavor without any extra fat. Lower-fat marinades with acid ingredients can help break down the tough fibers in meats as well.

Avoid Charring

Would you like to help seniors in your community? Willing Hearts, Helpful Hands Program Needs You! This is an opportunity for you to make a difference in your community by helping family caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias throughout Long Island. Willing Hearts, Helpful Hands is a unique program that helps caregivers keep loved ones in the comfort of their own homes for as long as possible and eases the stress associated with being a caregiver. Volunteers will receive free ongoing training and a monthly $50 living allowance.

To find out how to lend your helpful hands, contact us today. Telephone: 516-586-1507 Email: whhh@parkerinstitute.org 169831B

PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) and HCAs (heterocyclic amines) are the cancer-contributing substances found on the surface of well-done meats cooked at high temperatures. Avoid charring meats and start by trimming visible fat. Add vinegar or lemon juice to marinades to protect the surface of meat.

Take The Skin Off

Half of the saturated fat in chicken comes from the skin. If you cook with the skin on and then take it off at the dinner table, you’ll lose the flavor from your marinade and seasoning. Take the skin off before preparing the chicken and marinate for at least two hours in the refrigerator.

Swap Out Soda For Flavored Seltzer

If you still need that carbonated kick, opt for flavored seltzer water. There are a ton of new brands now selling all different varieties of flavored seltzer or sparkling water. My favorites are LaCroix Sparkling and Poland Spring Sparkling. You can also try Zevia, which is a naturally sweetened soda.

Stay Hydrated

When you’re busy running around and enjoying the barbecue, it can be easy to forget about hydration. Make sure you either carry a water bottle with you or keep a few water pitchers out during the day.

Offer A Few Salads

Memorial Day Weekend is the prefect time for some refreshing side dishes. Start with a big green salad filled with avocado, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and fresh fruit. Offer a southwest-style quinoa salad with grilled corn. Try a pasta salad with feta, basil, artichoke hearts, cucumbers and tomatoes.

18 19

Grilled Sweet Potato Fries

Instead of regular French fries, cut up sweet potatoes into long wedges and throw on the grill. Season with garlic and spices for a delicious flavor.

Indulge Sensibly

Some of your favorite foods may only come around once a year. If there is a dish that you absolutely love, try to indulge in a sensible way and focus on moderation.

Protect Your Skin

We can’t talk about summer and outdoor barbecues without mentioning the sun. Protect your skin by applying sunscreen or moisturizer with SPF.

The Language Of Skin Care Labels When it comes to skin care product labels, people shouldn’t necessarily believe everything they read. “The language on the label is not always an accurate description of the product inside the bottle or its potential effects on your skin,” said board-certified dermatologist Rajani Katta, MD, FAAD, a clinical assistant professor of medicine at the Baylor College of Medicine. “Manufacturers may use certain language for marketing purposes, and the same terms may mean different things on different products—and that makes it difficult to determine what they mean for our skin.” For example, patients may choose products labeled “for sensitive skin” or “hypoallergenic” because they believe these products will be gentle on their skin and less likely to cause an allergic reaction. Because these terms are not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, however, there is no guarantee that these products won’t irritate the skin or cause a reaction, Katta said. She also warned patients to be wary of the term “all-natural,” since products containing natural ingredients are not necessarily good for the skin. “Remember, poison ivy is

‘all-natural,’” she said. “And even if a natural ingredient is good for your skin, some products may combine that ingredient with additives or preservatives that could be harmful.” Language related to fragrances also may be misleading. Under current labeling laws, Katta said, manufacturers are permitted to use the term “fragrance-free” on products that include fragrance chemicals if those chemicals are utilized for another purpose (i.e., moisturizing) rather than changing the product’s scent. The term “unscented” may be used

on products that utilize fragrances to mask a strong existing odor instead of creating a new scent. “Unfortunately, there isn’t any labeling language that guarantees a product is hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin,” Katta said. “However, there are steps you can take to avoid adverse reactions to new products, and a board-certified dermatologist can help you if you do experience a reaction.” Katta suggested that patients with sensitive skin test a small amount of a product on their forearm for a week to see if it causes a reaction, and she

advised all individuals to make sure they follow all product directions. Patients who are experiencing skin inflammation should avoid new products altogether, since their skin’s protective barrier is already compromised, making it susceptible to further irritation. If a skin care product does cause an adverse reaction, Katta said, it may not always be easy to identify the culprit. “There’s a common misconception that allergic reactions happen instantaneously,” she said, “but they may take a couple of days to show up, and some people may develop an allergy to a skin care ingredient after using it for months or years. If you’re not sure what’s causing a reaction on your skin, visit a dermatologist, who can help determine the cause.” Katta added, “If you’re not sure how to select the right products for your skin, visit your dermatologist. We can answer your questions about ingredients, and help you identify the products that will work best for your skin type and address your skin care concerns.” Visit www.aad.org for more tips and skin care advice. —Courtesy of the American Academy of Dermatology

When I entertain, especially for a smaller gathering like brunch or a dinner party, I prefer to have one signature cocktail, such as this Blue Bumble Bee Cocktail, rather than setting up a whole bar. This pretty little cocktail is fun and fresh and perfect for spring and summer meals. I start off by making a thick blueberry and honey concoction, almost like a quick jam. It adds great flavor, a lovely color and just the right amount of sweetness to this drink. All you need to do is boil blueberries and organic honey together with a few sprigs of fresh thyme until it gets nice and thick. You can make the honey blueberry mixture up to a week ahead of time—just store, covered, in the fridge. This recipe makes one good sized cocktail. You can double, triple or quadruple the recipe. Put about a half teaspoon of the blueberry honey in the bottom of each glass, shake more blueberry honey, lemon juice and

Willing Hearts Helps Alzheimer’s Caregivers

National Nurses Week 2017 This week celebrates National Nurses Week (May 6-12), honoring the legacy of Florence Nightingale (pictured), a nurse who became a hero for treating wounded soldiers during the Crimean War (part of the Ottoman wars in Europe, Russia and Turkey). Nightingale was a British social reformer and statistician, and during

her service as a nurse, became knows as “The Lady with the Lamp” for making most of her rounds to the wards at night while carrying a lamp. She founded a nursing school in 1860 and established nursing as a true profession. National Nurses Week coincides with Nightingale’s birthday (May 12).

Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation’s Willing Hearts, Helpful Hands Program connects those caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias with free support services. Services include in-home consultations; family consultations; support groups; education and training programs on how to care for someone with Alzheimer’s disease; respite scholarships; access to volunteer companions and memory cafes. All services are free and available to caregivers of persons with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias living in Nassau and Suffolk counties. Willing Hearts, Helpful Hands served over 650 Long Island families caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias in 2016. The initiative, which is funded in part by a multi-year grant from the New York State Department of Health, seeks to serve an additional 500 caregivers in the coming year. “Long Island is home to approximately 50,000 people who are afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. More than half of these

individuals live with a family member or friend who cares for them,” said Michael N. Rosenblut, president and CEO of Parker Jewish Institute. “The support services provided by Willing Hearts, Helpful Hands are vital to reducing caregiver stress and burnout, and helping caregivers allow their loved ones to live at home for as long as possible.” To help ease the stress associated with being a caregiver, Willing Hearts, Helpful Hands provides respite or temporary relief so caregivers can take a break. The program offers a scholarship that covers in-home care, adult day services or overnight stays in an assisted living facility or nursing home. Caregivers can receive up to 120 hours or a maximum of $1,800 per calendar year. In addition, caregivers also have access to volunteer companions. Trained volunteers are matched with family caregivers and make weekly visits. They provide a friendly visit; they reminisce, sing songs, play cards and games, and go on walks with their senior.

Coffee Associated With Liver Wellness THE LIVER SPECIALIST David Bernstein, MD

Middle East long before it made its way to Europe. Interestingly, the first coffee house in Europe was reported to have been opened in England by a Turkish immigrant in the mid-17th-century, some 30 years before the opening of the famed coffee houses in Vienna. Over the centuries, coffee has become a mainstay of our culture with coffee shops, both independent and chain stores, located on almost all main streets in America. It is the first beverage most adult Americans drink in the morning. For this author, it functions as an eye-opener on many early mornings. Coffee is consumed not only because of taste and pleasant aroma, but because of the effect it has

2017 Dates May 18 June 15 July 21 Aug. 17

Sept. 21 Oct. 19 Nov. 16 Dec. 14

on those who drink it. Caffeine, found in most coffees, is a known stimulant. For this reason, it is popular among Americans who use its effects to get more energy for work, to stay awake at night, or sometimes to help reverse the fatigue effects of alcohol. In addition to caffeine, coffee has also been shown to stimulate the production of cortisone and adrenaline, two stimulatory hormones. Coffee has been shown to have numerous medical benefits. It increases the effectiveness of some painkillers and may be helpful in improving symptoms of migraine headaches. Coffee increases gastrointestinal motility and thus may help improve symptoms of constipation but it can also cause significant diarrhea. It also acts as a diuretic, which leads to frequent urination, and can lead to dehydration. Therefore, dehydrated people should avoid coffee until they adequately rehydrate themselves. Some people claim that coffee increases short-term memory, improves asthma symptoms and lessens the likelihood of gallstone formation although these claims have never been proven. Researchers report that drinking coffee decreases the risk of the development of alcoholic cirrhosis by 22 percent. Four cups of coffee per day reduced the risk of alcoholic cirrhosis by 80 percent. Research has also shown that coffee drinking can prevent the development of liver cancer in people with chronic liver disease. There is an inverse association between coffee consumption and liver cancer in people with and without a history of liver disease. Overall, an increase in consumption of two cups of coffee per day is associated with a 43 percent

reduced risk of liver cancer amongst populations who typically consume anything from one to more than five cups per day. These studies did not state or speculate as to how coffee was playing a role but they did note that this protective effect was not seen in tea drinkers. However, more than 10 separate studies have come to the same conclusion. It should be noted that these findings pertain to black coffee, not all the fancy flavored or high caloric sugar and milk laden products which are so common in our country. While coffee seems protective in this population, the primary approach to reduction of alcoholic cirrhosis is the avoidance or cessation of heavy alcohol drinking. Drinking coffee, however, does not come without some potential health risks. Too much caffeine can lead to nervousness, anxiety, discoloration of the teeth and increased blood pressure. While some people drink coffee to stay awake, others find that coffee leads to significant insomnia thus creating a cycle of drinking coffee to stay awake and alert during the day but being unable to sleep at night requiring at times the use of sleeping medications. So what are we to take away from all this information? Certainly, many of us love our coffee and will continue to imbibe regardless of any new information. Perhaps coffee is good for us, perhaps not. Perhaps drinking it in moderation is the safest strategy until we are told otherwise. David Bernstein, MD, FAASLD,FACG, AGAF, FACP, is the chief of hepatology at Sandra Atlas Bass Center for Liver Diseases and a professor of medicine at Hofstra-Northwell School of Medicine.

Many people ask about liver wellness and what they can do to keep their liver healthy. The best recommendations that I can give are to avoid potential risk factors for chronic liver disease such as drug and alcohol use, make sure vaccination against hepatitis A and B are performed and proven effective and to follow a healthy diet with adequate exercise. The healthiest diet is one low in carbohydrates, high in fruits and vegetables, low in red meat and high in proteins such as chicken, turkey or fish. Exercise should consist of at least 30 minutes a day of a vigorous regimen. Coffee has repeatedly been studied and coffee drinking has been associated with liver wellness in patients with chronic liver disease.

BOOK REVIEW

Mania, Depression, Recovery–And Poetry Review of: Setting The River On Fire: A Study of Genius, Mania and Character. Kay Redfield Jamison. New York: Knopf. 2017, 560 pp. BY JOE SCOTCHIE

jscotcHie@antonmediagroup.com

Is your child artistically gifted? Does he or she have a strong creative streak? Obviously, this is a good thing, even a blessing. Still, parents should stay on alert: Creative people suffer terribly for their art. That’s the sobering message of Kay Redfield Jamison’s biography, Setting The River On Fire, of the poet Robert Lowell. Jamison, the author of best-selling books on mental illness, may be too attached to her subject. She is married to a man whose ancestry is part of the formidable Lowell family tree. Setting The River On Fire is part biography and part meditation on creativity and sanity, with the latter, all too often, losing out. Jamison declares Lowell’s life a success. He died of a heart attack in 1977 at age 60. He was also a prolific, award-winning poet,

the successor to his fellow New Englander, T.S. Eliot, as a master of modernism. Lowell was an only child of parents who could be both cold and indifferent. Along with hereditary problems (Lowell’s grandmother went insane), this was a source of the poet’s madness. Also in the family tradition, Lowell was remarkably ambitious (another source of anxiety), determined, at an early age, to be the Great Poet of his time. Along the way, the man had some luck. As a youngster, Lowell was already being treated for depression. His physician was a gentleman named Merrill Moore. That mattered significantly. Moore, a native of Columbia, TN, was a member of the Fugitives, a group of students, professors and poetry lovers at Vanderbilt University who met on Saturday evenings in Nashville to discuss poetry and to critique each other’s verse. That fraternity spawned the careers of John Crowe Ransom, Allen

Tate, Donald Davidson, Robert Penn Warren, Andrew Lytle and Laura Riding. Moore was a prolific author of sonnets (tens of thousands of them!) who ended up with a psychiatry practice in Boston. Moore referred the young Lowell to Ransom, who then was a professor at Kenyon College in

Ohio. Ransom, in turn, introduced Lowell to Tate, who was living on a “throwed away” farm in middle Tennessee with his wife, Caroline Gordon, herself an accomplished novelist. Lowell was so enthused by the opportunity that he turned up on the Tates’ doorstep with a sleeping bag, offering to sleep outdoors just so he could study at the feet of the writing couple. At Kenyon, Lowell studied with Ransom, by then a leading poet/ critic and the editor of The Kenyon Review, a journal that had made little Gambier, Ohio the literary capital of the United States. Lowell also had the young Peter Taylor, himself a prize-winning short story writer, as a classmate. These mentors and classmates all inspired a young writer who needed little pushing, but Lowell was in the right company. Jamison, correctly, considers “For The Union Dead” Lowell’s greatest poem. In 1960, Lowell read the poem with its famous

lines—On a thousand small town New England greens/the old white churches hold their air/of sparse, sincere rebellion; frayed ﬂags/quilt the graveyards of the Grand Army of the Republic—to a crowd of 1,000 at Boston Commons. (Poetry still mattered then.) The Tate-Lowell connection is obvious. “For The Union Dead” complements, rather than answers, Tate’s “Ode To The Confederate Dead.” Both address the question of pietas amid the ravages of modernity. In Tate’s poem, a New South businessman visits a Confederate cemetery without ever comprehending the enormity of the situation. Lowell’s poem, likewise, curses the “yellow dinosaur steamshovels” digging up a Boston landscape near the legendary Robert Shaw Civil War monument. Can the past survive? Neither poem is particularly optimistic, even though Tate’s “rumors of mortality” offers up a more tragic view than Lowell’s grouse about a material world gone overboard. Lowell’s life and art was a success. Beginning in the mid-1940s, the poet suffered an outbreak of mania on a yearly basis. Lowell fell victim to bouts of delusion,

Robert Lowell fancying himself as a great man in the Napoleonic mode, while being unnecessarily abusive to loved ones and yet, he always battled back. Sobering statistics aside, Jamison may be overstating

SAVE THE DATE MONDAY JUNE 12, 2017

the case of creativity and insanity. One can be productive, while living a long and normal life. Mental illness may not be fatal to the creator. Creative people need to be reminded time and time

again that their art is not their life. Lowell’s first wife, the novelist Jean Stafford, had her own drinking problems, which made that union an impossibility. However, Lowell’s second wife, the critic Elizabeth Hardwick, truly cared— and even pitied—her husband. (Full disclosure: This reviewer had Miss Hardwick as a graduate school teacher back in the mid1980s.) All Lowell ever needed was right in front of him. Sadly, it wasn’t enough. Lowell was intensely involved in the 1960s, opposing the Vietnam War and marching with Norman Mailer at the famous 1967 antiwar march on the Pentagon. When that decade ended, Lowell seemed burnt out. The thrill of living in modern America was gone. He left the U.S. and took a professorship in London, where he promptly divorced Miss Hardwick and married a young Englishwoman. That didn’t work, either. The poet simply could not escape those yearly mania attacks. The physical burden alone wore him down. In Lowell’s case, a life lived to age 60, one that produced a thick body of work, was indeed heroic. But the tragedy was that Miss Hardwick’s love couldn’t save him.

Among the topics that get regularly covered in all facets of the newspaper business are stories having to do with health and wellness. It can range from pieces that deal with government and health agency studies that reveal the benefit or detriment of a certain kind of food and recalls of defective consumer products to medical advancements in the areas of pharmaceuticals and surgical procedures. The following are exercises students can do to experience the different facets of health and science that wind up making up the content of a newspaper.

Local News In The Classroom

• Find stories about accidents and write safety tips on how they could have been prevented. Write a skit to demonstrate your safety tips to the rest of the class. • Pretend you are living 200 years from now. What has happened to the world because of pollution? Write a news article telling about this future world. (Review news stories in this week’s newspaper to learn the elements of news writing style.) • Study a story reporting an accident. Can you determine the probable cause of the accident? Could the accident have been avoided? If someone was injured, could the injury have been avoided or its severity reduced?

Stamp Out Hunger On May 13 Island Harvest Food Bank and the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) are again joining forces for the 25th Annual Stamp Out Hunger campaign on Saturday, May 13, as part of the nation’s largest single-day food drive. Postal carriers throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties will collect nonperishable food items left by caring Long Islanders who want to be part of the solution to end hunger on Long Island. All food collected will benefit Island Harvest in providing supplemental food support to the

more than 316,000 Long Islanders at risk of going hungry every day. Participation in the Stamp Out Hunger food drive is simple. Residents are asked to leave nonperishable food items such as canned goods, pasta, rice, boxed juices and shelf-stable milk (no glass items) next to their mailboxes before

regularly scheduled mail delivery on Saturday, May 13. The postal carriers will do the rest. Food donated will help replenish food supplies at Long Island’s food pantries, soup kitchens and other feeding programs served by Island Harvest. Last year, generous Long Islanders donated 346,000 pounds of food to the

Stamp Out Hunger collection event, translating into 288,333 meals to assist food-insecure residents in Nassau and Suffolk. This year’s sponsoring partners of the NALC Stamp Out Hunger collection include Stop & Shop and the United States Postal Service.

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND At the Theatre

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s an air of exaggeration or a false response to some of this week’s circumstances. For instance, people may pretend to be shocked when they aren’t really, or unconcerned when they are shaken. It will take wisdom to see the truth of social discourse. Build a margin around the truth. Consider it social bluffing.

Solution: 32 Letters

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). In the way that a proper lady makes it easy for a man to behave like a gentleman, or a cat brings out the canine qualities of a dog, your very presence and manner inspires certain behavior from others this week. It’s something to be aware of and experiment with in your efforts to be effective. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There is something going on in your life that is presently too complex to be tackled directly. And though you’re not quite ready to take on the phenomenon, you can begin to understand it with an approach similar to that of astronomers studying black holes, observing their effect on the things around them. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Victorian women were scorned for showing an ankle, while Jarawa indigenous people of the Andaman Islands wore mostly mud and paint. What’s taboo in one culture is just part of daily life in another. Your sensitivity to differences and willingness to learn the rules of different cultures will be your ticket to success this week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The superior person doesn’t take every advantage offered. Greed is forgivable among those who have been deprived. But the greed of the privileged is despicable, especially when it comes at the expense of the less fortunate. You’ll fight for justice this week and do much good to uphold the value of mutual respect. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In most cases, those who have “been there, done that” are far less impressed than those who have yet to experience the adventure. This week brings a rare exception to the rule: The real deal actually lives up to the hype. Those in the know will become rather hushed, wanting to keep the wonderfulness all to themselves. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s not enough for you to see what is and take it at face value. Your curiosity is insatiable. You want to know the underlying forces, to understand how those forces are exerting themselves -- and why! You’ll get your answers this week, too, sometimes through direct questioning, but mostly through observation. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re quite aware of pride going before the fall, and so you’re rather guarded about self-congratulation. However, don’t hold back, at least privately. You need encouragement. Unfortunately, you may have to give it to yourself, as the others either haven’t caught up yet or are too self-involved at the moment to get it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People will open up to you this week because they feel safe around you. You’ll get answers to questions that weren’t asked. Sometimes you’ll learn what you didn’t want to know. But mostly, you’ll appreciate the greater understanding of human nature you’ll get because of what people share with you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Nothing is all one way; no one completely embodies any single quality. Even a fool gets it right now and then. Things do not require constant analysis. Intermittently, take time off from making judgments and decisions. Pressing pause on those functions will give your mind a chance to open and refresh. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Look back for a reference point. Look back for context. Look back for clues about how to prepare for what you’re about to experience. Look back for a moment. Then return your eye to its primary function of looking forward. Your best moves are ahead of you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There are those who can hold a grudge, and then there are those who hold a grudge like it’s a profession, a quest, a solemn vow. That takes a lot of energy. You don’t want to be on either side of such a vendetta. Stay psychically resilient. Move through the world with a light heart, refusing to take or give offense.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Beware of things that pretend to solve a problem while actually creating one instead. For instance, snack items that don’t satisfy your hunger but make you want the next one and the next one. Or people who will never quite give themselves to you. This year, you’ll be defined by what you don’t get involved with as much as (or more than) what you do get into. Either way, June, September and November offer the teaching moments that will change you and those around you. COPYRIGHT 2017 CREATORS.COM

Refugee Families Benefit Concert May 19 The Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock (UUCSR) will be holding a benefit concert to help support newly arrived Syrian, Afghan and Iraqi refugee families here on Long Island and in New Jersey. The concert— which features renowned Syrian singer GAIDA and her band—will take place on Friday, May 19, at 7:30 p.m. in the UUCSR Worship Room, 48 Shelter Rock Rd. in Manhasset. All proceeds will go to the Diocese of Rockville Centre Catholic Charities Refugee Resettlement Services and Church World Service to aid refugees and their families. This effort is spearheaded by UUCSR’s Social Justice CoUUrage to Defy Hate Task Force facilitated by Senior Interim Minister Ned Wight and Social Justice Coordinator Claire Deroche. UUCSR Senior Interim Minister Ned Wight noted, “The Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock, in accordance with the principles of Unitarian Universalism, is pleased to sponsor this concert to help raise funds for the resettlement of these refugee families in need here on Long Island and in New Jersey. These are individuals who have very few havens and are, quite

often, in desperate circumstances. We extend a warm welcome and hope to make their transition easier and are pleased to work with Catholic Charities Refugee Resettlement Services and Church World Service in this regard.” For the past year, members of the Social Justice CoUUrage to Defy Hate Task Force have been actively meeting with congregants and welcoming speakers in order to better understand the needs of these individuals. In February, Catholic Charities Refugee Resettlement Director Carmen Maquilon spoke with the congregation about “How We Can Make a Difference.” Volunteers at UUCSR have also been collecting gift cards and much-needed household items, baby items and clothing for these refugee families. Once they undergo an orientation by the Catholic Charities Refugee Resettlement Services, they will then interact with the families in order to provide more individualized assistance. General admission (adults) is $20; under 18 is $10; tickets at the door are $25. Tickets can be ordered online at www.uucsr.org/GAIDA or call 516 472-2960.

Concert to feature renowned Syrian singer GAIDA; all proceeds benefit newly settled refugee families on Long Island and in New Jersey,

Uber Makes Commitment Towards New Safer Streets Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and Uber recently announced a joint effort to combat drunk driving on Long Island. Suffolk and Nassau counties both have some of the most alcohol-related crashes across the state’s 62 counties, according to 2013 data. The two organizations are teaming up to launch the Safer Streets for Long Island Advisory Committee, which will explore ways to combat drunk driving on Long Island. Uber is committing $100,000 to support the initiative. “My mission is to get drunk drivers off our roads and make our communities safer,” said Richard Mallow, executive director of MADD NY. “Ride-sharing technology can help do exactly that. I will work to ensure that Long Island residents have a reliable transportation option so they no longer have to

unsafely get behind the wheel of their cars putting themselves and their neighbors in danger. The status quo has not served the public well— transportation is still lacking across Long Island and I am thrilled to see ride-sharing make its mark on our community.” “When empowered with more transportation options like Uber, people are making responsible choices that result in fewer alcohol-related crashes,” said Josh Mohrer, general manager of Uber Tri-State. “We are eager to work with MADD, local residents, community leaders and small businesses to help make Long Island streets safer. Our state leaders have taken action to bring ride-sharing to New Yorkers who have been demanding better transportation options—including the 77 percent of suburban residents who support

ride-sharing across the state.” MADD will work with community leaders, local residents and businesses to select the members of the Safer Streets for Long Island Advisory Committee, which will help allocate the $100,000 investment. According to Institute for Traffic Safety Management and Research data, there were over 2,800 DWI arrests in Nassau County and more than 2,900 DWI arrests in Suffolk County in 2014. In 2015, Suffolk had 866 alcohol-related crashes while Nassau had 573 alcohol-related crashes—both up from 2014. Studies have shown that Uber can help reduce alcohol related fatalities in cities where it operates. For example, an independent study conducted by Temple University found that Uber’s entrance into various cities

in California resulted in a 5 percent decrease in the number of people killed in alcohol-related car crashes. Uber also surveyed its U.S. rider base, and respondents told Uber the service has helped them make safe decisions to get home. In fact, 90 percent of riders say that Uber helps reduce drinking and driving and that Uber is riders’ top choice when they have had “too much alcohol to drive”—compared to other options. Last month, the New York State Legislature and Governor Andrew Cuomo passed a bill that would allow ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft to operate across the state, including Long Island. The services could begin operating as early as mid-July. A recent poll showed that 77 percent of suburban New Yorkers want ride-sharing services to operate across the Empire State.

t’s a musical you’ll want to see more than once. Groundhog Day has come to New York’s Great White Way and if you’re a fan of the movie, you’ll love it even more on Broadway. The musical comedy is written by Danny Rubin and the late Harold Ramis, with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin and based on the 1993 film of the same name. Three-time Tony nominee Andy Karl has the honor of playing Phil Connors, the egotistical jerk of a weatherman who covers the story of Punxsutawney Phil for the third year in a row. Clearly frustrated, he covers the event, only to wake the next day to discover it is Groundhog Day again, and again and again. As for Karl, he has always known that he wanted to call the Broadway stage his home. “When I saw my first Broadway show in high school, I was hooked. I started singing at home and was in my high school’s chorus,” said Karl, whose mother played the organ for church. “I really liked West Side Story and Jesus Christ Superstar and when I got cast in my first show in Baltimore, I found the family of theater and became addicted to that.” Karl moved to New York to pursue acting full-time, a feat that he thinks has been “pretty darn successful and very lucky.” Karl performs eight shows a week, which he finds easy to connect to the character, that he is literally repeating each show over and over again. “Groundhog Day speaks right on the point to human nature. Once you see those days happening over and over again, think how you can look at it so you can stay happy and it doesn’t sound like a mundane repeat of your day,” he said. “It’s fun doing this show at this point in my life and career. I can connect to it very well on a personal level.” Karl is no stranger to being the main lead. He headlined as Rocky Balboa in

Rocky in 2014, an extremely physical role that was so character specific he had help from Sylvester Stallone himself when preparing for it. “He [Sylvester] gave me notes and we hung out several times. He had the idea of making it into a musical,” said Karl of the actor who made famous film about the Italian brooding tank of a boxer named Rocky. “It’s interesting because Rocky was written and created by Stallone but Bill Murray created the character in Groundhog Day and he does his own thing. He’s untouchable and I respect him and everything he’s done.” On playing the iconic role, Karl says he was brought up on Bill Murray humor and that he has watched the film dozens of times. He also watched YouTube videos of weathermen and trained himself to multiply his frustrations and anger by making everything personal. The actor also commented on how well the film has transitioned to the theater. “It’s its own thing on stage; it has its own world. You really don’t feel like you’re watching the movie at all,” said Karl, adding that the musical keeps the joy and surprise of what the movie has. “It’s really funny and Danny Rubin, who wrote the original screenplay for the movie, did the musical as well. Tim Minchin’s ability to do sardonic humor and self-actualization lyrics is astounding.” Deeper, funnier and extremely creative, Karl is proud of Groundhog Day, which takes on another dimension of living each day, how you do that and what it means to you. “Phil Connors is the worst and best person all in the same day, and this show is one of the best shows I’ve ever done,” said Karl. “It’s a heartwarming story and at the end, you walk away with everything you could possibly want in a theatre experience.” Groundhog Day is currently playing at the August Wilson Theatre, 245 West 52nd St. For tickets and more information, visit www.groundhog daymusical.com.

(Non-Invasive Body Sculpting) What were your goals at the beginning of the year? Have you met your goals? Are you moving in the right direction? Is it hard to stay on track? Losing “stubborn fat” is hard and as you get older -- it just gets harder and harder. You might go to the gym five days a week, sweat on the treadmill for an hour, and see maybe a pound or two drop in a month. Is that really worth your time? Or… imagine going to a medical facility, laying down, spending 35 minutes relaxing, then getting up and finding out you’ve lost two inches around your waist. Which do you prefer? What if you could keep doing that and losing more and more fat until you looked like you did years ago? If you have any interest in this you should stop what you’re doing and call the office for an appointment immediately. This new treatment 170119 C

device is now cleared by the FDA as the only noninvasive treatment for immediate fat removal without dieting, exercise, or pills. This device uses a special light therapy to trick your mitochondria (in your fat cells) to release their fat content. If you eat better, drink plenty of water, stay away from sugars, and carbohydrates, this can lead to permanent fat loss without surgery. And that’s the FDA saying it, not me. Here’s a heads up. If you have tried liposuction in the past - you know that when you “regain the weight” it goes to different places - making your body look distorted and then unfortunately, you’re back to where you started, only worse. With this technology we don’t destroy your fat cells. What we do is we simply drain the contents of the fat cells so you lose the inches and look good again.

Yankees Salute Their Captain

BY JOSEPH CATRONE

Jcatrone@antonmediagroup.com

ast winter’s announcement that Derek Jeter’s number 2 would be retired by the Yankees likely shocked no one. With Jeter’s former teammates Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte and Jorge Posada having already received the honor, it was only a matter of time, and Jeter’s standing in baseball history appears to be more or less understood. Yet unquestioned greatness can often have the adverse effect of cheapening a career, removing the need for further discussion by accepting the player’s impact as a given. So perhaps the upcoming May 14 ceremony will give fans an opportunity to once again reflect on

just what Jeter did to merit a celebration so soon after retirement. And with countless words devoted to all of the things Jeter was—a “winner,” a “class act,” someone who “did things the right way”—his greatness may be better understood by pondering all of the things he wasn’t. Jeter was probably never the best player in baseball. He never won an MVP award, although he finished in the top 10 on eight occasions. In fact, he was rarely if ever considered the best shortstop in the league, with rivals like Nomar Garciaparra and Alex Rodriguez often overshadowing Jeter during his early prime. But regardless of which players looked best on paper, no one looked better than Jeter where it truly counted; on the field with everything on the line.

Jeter’s career post season average of .308 is not only remarkable as a raw statistic, but it’s eerily similar to his career regular season mark of .310. Yankees fans knew that, during the time of year where high stakes could dim even the brightest of stars, they would be getting the same old Jeter, which is why even in the twilight of his career, Yankees fans would accept no substitute at shortstop. An indispensable part of five championship teams, including four in his first five full seasons as a player, Jeter was never the vocal leader in the clubhouse, with outspoken teammates like Paul O’Neill, David Cone and Posada more suited for that role. It hardly mattered, because Jeter’s actions spoke louder than all of them combined. His leadership was in the way he accepted coaching advice no matter what type of season he was having. It was in the way he never gave up on a game no matter how lopsided the score, even when his teammates had checked out both mentally and physically. His body language and tone after a game was perhaps most telling. He handled both winning and losing gracefully, but his dull, controlled anger after a defeat reminded his teammates that there was work to be done going forward, and those who didn’t think so were in the wrong clubhouse. A winner of five Gold Glove awards, Jeter’s defense was nonetheless shortchanged by recent sabermetric statistics, which judged his range to be below average for a shortstop. But regardless of how others viewed his fundamentals, Jeter’s instinctiveness and irrespresible desire to win allowed him to make plays that even the most physically gifted shortstops wouldn’t. The immortal “flip play” may best epitomize those aspects of Jeter’s game. One could sift through thousands of hours of baseball footage without finding a shortstop who was so far out of position and yet, somehow, exactly

where he needed to be. Unforgettable moments seemingly came so easily to Jeter—his walk-off home run in the 2001 World Series; his 3,000th hit, a home run at Yankee Stadium—and his last at bat ever at Yankees Stadium, which ended with a game-winning single, was no exception. But the true ending to Jeter’s career, in terms of both chronology and essence, was his final career at bat, which took place at Fenway Park. Jeter didn’t produce a moment for the ages; instead, he chopped a ball straight into the ground and moved as fast as his 40-yearold legs could carry him, ultimately reaching first safely and putting the definitive stamp on his career. Jeter hadn’t struck the ball hard enough to earn a hit; he’d simply wanted one more than anything in the world.
