Pop Goes The Artist

Romero Britto to display passion at Northport art gallery BY JENNIFER FAUCI JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

e can thank the Brits for introducing us to the world of pop art, the bright and colorful artistic movement that came about in the mid 1950s in England. The United States jumped on the wagon a few years later, giving us Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Jasper Johns in the 1960s. Now included in that mashup is Romero Britto, a Brazilian born, self-taught artist who took the art scene by storm. Britto will be bringing his extraordinary collection to Northport’s

LaMantia Gallery from July 15 through 23, showing guests his life in vivid color. “I love that I get to travel a lot and share my art with as many people as possible,” said Britto on being a pop artist. “I always liked art but there was a time when I thought about being a diplomat. One day I told myself that I would try a career as an artist, so I did.” In 1983, Britto went from painting on newspapers to traveling to Paris where he was introduced to the work of Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse. At the age of 25, Britto moved to Miami, where he currently resides, and emerged as an international artist, combining influences from cubism with pop to create an iconic style. “My style is colorful, happy and direct,” said Britto of his work, adding that he loves modern artists like Warhol, Matisse and Picasso as well as Renaissance greats like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Sandro Botticelli. When Britto begins a new work, he said first comes the idea and then a black and white sketch followed by a colored sketch of the piece. “After I am done sketching, I use color selections and start decorating the work. I use acrylic in my work and then finish the details in oil, which is my own personal style technique,” he said, adding that although each of his pieces are special and meaningful to him, Britto very much enjoyed the body of work he did for the United Nations. “I just

Above: Today, 2010, 32 x 32 inches, serigraph on Gesso (By Romero Britto) completed a massive pig sculpture in China and am going to start work on a cartoon to be televised in 2018.” As for his upcoming collection at LaMantia Gallery, Britto said the artwork selected is “all very uplifting” and is part of a collection he put together for several months. Britto’s artistic accomplishments include collaborating with brands such as Disney, Bentley and FIFA, for whom he created the official poster for the 2010 World Cup. “I live in Miami and we have the prestigious Art Basel,” said Britto. “There’s a lot of galleries, collectors and artists and the art scene has a

lot going on. It’s very educational.” Britto understands the pressure put on artists to be unique, as they are constantly being compared to one another. “An artist is a miracle and even then, it’s never enough,” he said. “They measure artists by other artists.” But for those who are passionate about a career in the arts, Britto believes in working hard and doing your own personal best every day.

Waitress Delivers The Sweetest Show On Broadway BY BETSY ABRAHAM

ince taking the stage at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre last year, Waitress has garnered quite the fan following—and it’s easy to understand why. Featuring original music from Sara Bareilles, the show dishes out a generous serving of comedy and storytelling, blended together with a terrific score and outstanding performances from the entire cast. Based on the 2007 movie of the same name, Waitress follows the story of Jenna, a small-town waitress who buries her problems in mouthwatering and cleverly named pies. There’s a healthy mix of comedy and romance, however, the show serves up a much deeper story as Jenna learns sugar and butter won’t soften the blows of reality. Putting on the leading lady’s nametag is Betsy Wolfe, who takes over after opener Jessie Mueller and a limited run by Bareilles. Though it was a big apron to fill, Wolfe wears it well, captivating audiences with her strong vocals and the sincerity she brings to Jenna’s character. “It’s really exciting to have a show that changes depending on who is doing the role and I think people are curious to see what it looks like when someone else is doing it. They might see more of

themselves in different versions of the character,” said Wolfe, noting that the show’s relatability has kept fans coming back. “The show triggers a full scope of emotions. People take a real sense of pride in this character. It’s one of those shows you can go to and leave feeling a sense of, ‘I can do better and make the world a little better.’” Cooked up by an all-female creative team, the story, told by the score, is the main ingredient, with Bareilles’ powerful music and lyrics bringing life to each cast member, be it the awkward gynecologist Jenna has an affair with or a fellow waitress scared of a relationship. “Her lyrics truly do tell a story,” said Wolfe. “You might not be a baker or cook, but there may be other things you do instead of taking care of yourself and those around you. This show draws attention to that in a beautiful way.” Wolfe shines in the spotlight and her fellow cast members round out the musical with strong performances, making the entire show a treat from start to finish.

That 70’s Band and A Cirque Du Soleil performer produced by Rock I. Production Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund, the recipient of the proceeds. Billy, Daniel and Stephen Baldwin were there to represent their mom, and hearing stories about how the foundation began and all the

cutting-edge research being done at Stony Brook University Hospital from money donated each year from LIHB proceeds, was impressive. LIHB 2017 had everything going for it—beautiful weather, amazing things to nibble and sip, live entertainment inside and outside—all for a cause many Long Islanders have a connection to. There were so many high points that night. One of my favorite moments was interviewing Sal “The Voice” Valentinetti after his stellar performance singing Frank Sinatra & Dean Martin standards. Sal was the Long Island pizza delivery guy who appeared on America’s Got Talent last year, and won our country’s heart. Another special highlight of the evening was attending the VIP Awards Ceremony and hearing some hospitality industry stories from the honorees including Giovanni Casano of Empire Wines & Spirits, Bobby Goodrich, restaurant and night club

Honoree Bob Goodrich (second from right) with the Baldwin brothers, Steven, Daniel and Billy

Glittery stilt walkers, feather-plumed showgirls, mermaids frolicking in the pool, go-go dancer birdcages and headline vocalists crooning on main stage might make you think you’re on the Las Vegas Strip. On June 26, all that and more greeted thousands of guests attending the 7th Annual Long Island Hospitality Ball 2017 (LIHB) at the Crest Hollow Country Club. Since LIHB is all about hospitality, I cruised the poolside food and beverage displays, shot photos and video interviews while sampling colorful sushi rolls, watermelon-feta salad shooters, succulent short ribs, fried chicken in mini waffle cones with a honey pipette, eggplant meatballs, artisan baked breads, chicken sliders, chocolate pudding flavored with beer, etc. The LIHB was started seven years ago by Keith Hart of the Hart Agency as a way to bring the hospitality community together to raise money for cancer research. The Baldwin family hosts the annual event in honor of their mom’s Carol M.

NASSAU COUNTY NEWS The completion of a feasibility study which determined that an existing, non-utilized 72-inch steel water main pipeline running from Valley Stream under Sunrise Highway to the Suffolk line has the ability to be repurposed into a force main to convey treated wastewater effluent from the South Shore Water Reclamation Facility in Bay Park to the Cedar Creek Water Pollution Control Plant, strengthening the shoreline, protecting marine life and improving the environment. The county’s department of public works has issued a Request For Proposal (RFP) from qualified firms to provide detailed design services for the project, which diverts treated sewage from western bays to two-and-ahalf miles off the coast and reduces nitrogen in the waterways. ................................. The Fresh Produce Program For Seniors was introduced in which income-eligible residents, age 60 and over, can receive a one-time (per person, per year) coupon book

worth $20 to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at local farmers’ markets. The coupons are provided by the New York State Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program. They will be available at no cost after Monday, July 17, at accessible locations throughout Nassau County. For information about eligibility and obtaining coupons call the Nassau

County Office for the Aging at 516-227-8919. .................................

July 7 sees the debut of SpiderMan: Homecoming, directed by Jon Watts. This time, Tom Holland dons the colorful suits in a second reboot to the Marvel character. In this film, we see a much younger Peter Parker dealing with typical high school problems while trying to balance his persona as a web slinging superhero. Robert Downey Jr. reprises his role as Tony Stark/Iron Man as he mentors the young Parker and molds him to be a great superhero. Michael Keaton joins the cast as the evil Adrian Toomes/The Vulture whom Spider-Man must defeat to save the world and Marisa Tomei plays Aunt May. A great family adventure movie with a new take on an old classic.

The apes are back on July 14, when War for the Planet of the Apes, the sequel to Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) hits theaters. This is the third installment of the reboot. Directed by Matt Reeves, the movie stars Andy Serkis, Judy Greer and Woody

BOOK REVIEW

Up From Jersey: A Songwriter’s Saga BY JOE SCOTCHIE

JScotcHie@antonmediagroup.com

For those who were there, who could forget the New York of the mid-to-late 1970s? Every Friday and Saturday night, kids from New Jersey would steam into the city and strut around like they owned the place. “I’m from New Jersey,” any one of these hip youngsters would proudly tell you. Why not? New Jersey now had Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes and later, Jon Bon Jovi. What did New York have? Springsteen was the ﬁrst big star to come out of the Garden State since Frank Sinatra. Unlike Sinatra, who left Hoboken for the West Coast and never looked back, Springsteen, much to the satisfaction of his fans, has kept New Jersey as his home. In 2009, Springsteen performed at the Super Bowl. At that moment, he decided to pen his autobiography. Springsteen is a songwriter, not a prose stylist. And so, Born To Run is often a 528-page search for articulation. Even rock stars

need a blue pencil applied to their prose. The author, Ezra Pound-like, peppers his narrative with capital letters often in bunches, ellipses and exclamation points. Describing an early 1980s cross country road trip, he recalls: “[I] like to be on wheels, and in the ancient days about which I will soon regale you children, There were no cell phones!” To which the reader might respond: Well, Bruce, it was 1982, “We already knew that.” Born To Run was seven years in the making and time and again, the author, despite windy and often puerile prose, gets it right. Celebrating the birth of his ﬁrst son,

Springsteen, again with great ﬂourish, announces: “Citizens of Los Angeles: Evan James Springsteen is born. A son of New Jersey, born in exile, here in Babylon!” Here, Springsteen uses his megaphone to speak for fathers everywhere. Born To Run can be broken into two parts. There is Springsteen’s rise to stardom and his later standing as a rock icon. The ﬁrst part is more interesting. The story of Springsteen’s rise—The Café Wha? gig with The Castilles, the aggressive management style of Mike Apple, the CBS audition for John Hammond, Jon Landau’s “I have seen the future of rock n’ roll” review

and the 1975 breakout shows at The Bottom Line—are all well known to fans. What this autobiography communicates best is how Springsteen simply willed himself into a success. The life of a musician wasn’t fun on the road. It was, instead, work, hard work, 100 opening acts for a 100 diﬀerent headliners—and Springsteen leaves little doubt to where that work ethic came from. Indeed, the book’s best writing always covers the most intimate aspects of the man’s life. There are moving tributes to Freehold friends who fought and died in a war they knew virtually nothing about. There are proﬁles throughout of his father, Doug Springsteen, that are more vivid than any of Springsteen’s highly-intense father/son songs. The elder Springsteen is portrayed as a larger-than-life Charles Bukowski-type who, while not understanding his son’s career choice, always said the right words at the most needed times. (When Springsteen, in the fall of 1975, told his father he was going to be on the cover of both Time and Newsweek, the elder Springsteen

reportedly remarked, “Well, it’s better than another cover with the president.”) Then there are the friendships forged from The E Street Band. With Steve Van Zandt, Springsteen found a soulmate. He met someone who took the music business just as seriously as he did. Music wasn’t just a way to impress the girls, it was a lifelong vocation. Springsteen devotes several chapters to “the Big Man,” his famed saxophone player, Clarence Clemons, the older brother that the younger Springsteen never had. Wife number two, Patti Scalﬁ, was also an E Street veteran. Born To Run is essentially a story about a man of the road who achieved success, but who also found

happiness the way the average man does: Marriage, children, faith, community. The latter chapters are less interesting if only because the reader knows how the story ends. Springsteen, from the 1990s onward, had, perhaps unwittingly, transformed himself from a rock star to a cultural institution. And so, there are vignettes on piano duets with Frank Sinatra, onstage performances with The Rolling Stones, induction into the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame and a run-in with the New York City Police Department over “American Skin.” Springsteen as a working-class hero was always a media invention. Still, it probably was a troop of blue collar workers— not an army of MBAs—that stuck with him during his scuﬄing days. Springsteen had now progressed to singing the struggles of undocumented immigrants, while becoming the toast of the Jon Stewart constituency. Springsteen denounces Wall Street greed. He also has campaigned for candidates who, in truth, have voted for Wall Street bailouts. With his 2012 album, Wrecking Ball, an energetic response to the 2008 stock market crash, Springsteen had hoped to sweep the nation in

the manner of Born To Run (1975) and Born In The U.S.A. (1984). The album did well enough, but like most of his later eﬀorts, it came and went. Springsteen, with his usual ambition, had wanted more. The culture, however, had been shifting from under the man’s feet. The rock star knew it. “A new kind of super-pop, hip-hop and a variety of other exciting genres had become the hotline of the day, more suited to the current zeitgeist,” Springsteen observes. The culture had changed because the country had changed. The America that embraced Born To Run and Born In The U.S.A. was fading fast. Ever the progressive, Springsteen doesn’t mind these changes at all. Review of: Born To Run. Bruce Springsteen. New York: Simon and Schuster, 2016.

CLARE ROSE — the Budweiser distributor for Long Island — used to be a company that supported our community, but Clare Rose’s new generation of executives received a long term tax break which took $370,000 out of our schools last year. As another slap in the face, the company cut the wages of its Long Island delivery drivers by 30 percent, ended their pensions and started replacing them with out-of-state workers.

Mean And Meaner Once upon a time, I had the good fortune to serve the people of New York as a state legislator. I experienced many exciting changes in how government operated and was witness to the passage of many great laws that improved upon the quality of life of all New Yorkers. Looking at the workings of the leadership and actions of the current U.S. Congress has to make the average voter depressed and angry. Those of us who belong to any established religion know that one of their core beliefs is compassion for the less fortunate. The daily happenings in Washington are dominated by people who not only lack compassion, but instead are full of contempt for the common man or woman. The debate over health care reform is one glaring example of how our federal government continues to sink to new lows every day of the week. You can hate Obamacare or love it, but more than 20 million people signed up for it so they could get that lifesaving operation or get continuous care for their very sick child. It also helps pay for the last days of life for a grandparent or other family member. Contrary to some of the conservative critics, health care is not a program aimed at a bunch of lazy shiftless adults who sit at home

watching television. Its purpose is to give life to others, who but for the federal government, would continue to be an even more expensive drain on our federal and state budgets. A short time ago, the House of

Representatives passed its version of the Affordable Care Act. It stripped away coverage for most pre-existing conditions and set the stage for massive increases in premiums for the elderly. In a weak moment, President Trump, who had applauded the House for its actions, changed his tune and called it “mean.” He promised that any new bill would be more “humane.” Because the leadership of the Senate is fixated with tax cuts for the rich at the expense of middle and low income families, the newest health care bill will never get any better without bi-partisan input, which is not going to happen. There are a handful of senators who are genuinely concerned about

the less fortunate and one has to hope that they will not be bought off by promises that the public pain will be delayed for a few extra years. Whenever the Senate passes a health care bill, it will harm the people least able to protect themselves and then go to the House where the membership is even meaner. The only place to take meanness out of government is in the voting booth and even 2018 may not come soon enough to avoid the harm to come.

Empire State Fair To Kick Off Eleven Days Of Summer Fun

The Empire State Fair is ready to take Long Island by storm this summer. With exhilarating rides, mind-bending entertainment, delicious food and unique shopping, the brand new fair is sure to bring Long Island families affordable fun. The Empire State Fair, presented by State Fair Group, will debut at NYCB LIVE’s Nassau Coliseum from July 20 to July 30. If you are looking for amazing free entertainment, you could not ask for a better destination than the Empire State Fair at NYCB LIVE’s Nassau Coliseum. The 11-day event will feature free shows that range from the jaw-dropping to the hysterical. Come check out The All-American Thrill Show, featuring gymnastic acrobats, dare-devil motorcyclists and aerialists performing dizzying feats on the high wire and the 90-foot sway pole. Or prepare to have your mind blown by Master Hypnotist Steve Bayner and Comedian Gemini Lombardi. These phenomenal entertainers have the rare one-two punch of being incredibly funny and talented at the same time.

If you really want a good laugh, come see America’s #1 fair attraction, the ever-popular Racing Pigs. Watch this group of pot-bellied speedsters sprint, oink and jostle their way around their real piggy racetrack. Kids will love the petting zoo and live animal rides, which let kids get up close and personal with animals of the world and offer a perfect spot for selfies. The Empire State Fair will also feature free live concerts by local musicians. Of course, what would a fair be without exciting rides and games? The carnival midway will feature more than 50 rides and attractions including the largest kiddie-land on Long Island. Perhaps the fair’s main attraction will be the world’s largest portable Ferris wheel. This monstrous ride is transported all the way from Holland and features incredible views of the midway. Thrill-seekers will also enjoy the many heart-thumping rides at the Empire State Fair, such as the Fireball, the Cliffhanger and the Zyklon.

Vaccinations: Important In Liver Disease Care Vaccination against disease is one of the major advances in medicine and has helped prevent disease in countless individuals. Despite the importance of vaccination, many people in our country do not get the routine vaccinations which are recommended and available. This action places them at risk of getting sick but also places those around them at risk of becoming ill. Which vaccines am I talking about? These vaccines include, but are not limited to, the influenza vaccine, the Pneumovax or pneumonia vaccine, the meninigitis vaccine and the hepatitis A and B vaccines. Why don’t Americans get these vaccines? The answer is complex but usually comes down to several simple issues. Some of the issues are the lack of awareness of their necessity, the lack of awareness of availability and the lack of the insurance company to pay for preventive medicine. Many times, unfortunately, it is a misconception that these vaccines have side effects that

can be long-lasting. All people with liver disease should have routine vaccinations. This includes a yearly flu shot and once in a lifetime pneumococcal, meningococcal, H. flu, diphtheria and tetanus as well the hepatitis A and B vaccines. The hepatitis A vaccine is given as a series of two injections, either six months or 12 months apart. This is important as hepatitis A is acquired via the fecal-oral route. Exposures generally occur while people are traveling or when they eat out. While hepatitis A is usually a self-limited condition with full recovery, people with liver disease who become super-infected with hepatitis A are at high risk of severe disease which can result in liver failure, death and the need for transplantation. Vaccination will prevent the disease. What about the hepatitis B vaccine? This vaccine is given as a series of three shots over six months. It is given as an

THE AMSTERDAM LIFESTYLE IS

intramuscular injection in the deltoid region in adults and the thigh muscle in newborns. Injection in the buttock is associated with decreased response to the vaccine and should be avoided. The real question is “Who should get the hepatitis B vaccine?” The current recommendations are that all newborns in the United States receive the vaccine in the first year of life. Officially, only adult high-risk groups are recommended to undergo vaccination. These high-risk groups include men having sex with men, people with multiple sexual partners, health care workers, hemodialysis staff and patients, intravenous drug users, people in institutions for the developmentally disabled, prisoners, travelers to endemic areas such as sub-Saharan Africa or the Far East, and sexual and household contacts of hepatitis B carriers. The vaccine, despite various unsubstantiated reports circulating the Internet, is safe

and highly effective. Because of this, I tend to be more liberal in my hepatitis B recommendations. I would make the global recommendation that all people not previously vaccinated or exposed to hepatitis B should be vaccinated, whether they have liver disease or not. The problem is cost. Many insurers do not want to pay for this. I believe that they should and must pay for this critical piece of preventive medicine. Hepatitis B is a potentially fatal disease, especially in people over 40 years of age and it is preventable with vaccination. This summer, do yourself a favor and consider ensuring that you and your loved ones are protected against hepatitis A and B. These are diseases which can cause considerable illness if you are not protected.

Rash In Lyme disease, the rash may

appear within 3-30 days, typically before the onset of fever. The Lyme disease rash is the first sign of infection and is usually a circular rash called erythema migrans (EM). This rash occurs in approximately 70 to 80 percent of infected persons and begins at the site of a tick bite. It may be warm, but is not usually painful.

Nassau University Medical Center President/CEO Dr. Victor Politi was recently joined by health officials at a press conference at the Nassau University Medical Center to warn of a recent explosion of disease-breeding ticks on Long Island that can cause severe illness and prolonged health damage, including cognitive damage, and if untreated, even death. The hospital has set up treatment areas for people who suspect they have been bitten by ticks. The bites cause Lyme disease. New York State has the highest number of Lyme disease cases in the country, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC has recorded more than 95,000 Lyme infections in the state since 1986. Long Island has been particularly hard-hit in recent years, because of its many wooded areas. Ticks that can spread Lyme disease are now present in almost half of the counties in the United States,

compared with only 30 percent 20 years ago. Common symptoms can include fever, headache and fatigue, all of which can be confused for flu. Early diagnosis can be treated with antibiotics, but untreated Lyme disease can lead to long-term cognitive problems, joint and muscle pain and mood disorders. Lyme disease can be deadly if untreated. The tick infestation is a result of climate change, an unusually short and warm winter, and oak trees that produced a huge number of acorns last fall. The most common symptoms of tickrelated illnesses are:

other areas of the body several days later. Tickborne diseases can result in mild symptoms treatable at home to severe infections requiring hospitalization. Although easily treated with antibiotics, these diseases can be difficult for physicians to diagnose. However, early recognition and treatment of the infection decreases the risk of serious complications. So see your doctor immediately if you have been bitten by a tick and experience any of the symptoms described here.

Take Steps To Protect Against Ticks Taking steps to protect yourself and your family from getting a tick bite is the best defense against Lyme disease and other tickborne infections. Whether you’re working, enjoying your yard, camping, hiking, hunting or otherwise in the outdoors, CDC recommends that people: • Avoid areas with high grass and leaf litter and walk in the center of trails when hiking. • Use repellent that contains 20 percent or more DEET, picaridin, or IR3535 on exposed skin for

protection that lasts several hours. •U se products that contain permethrin to treat clothing and gear, such as boots, pants, socks and tents or look for clothing pre-treated with permethrin. •T reat dogs for ticks. Dogs are very susceptible to tick bites and to some tickborne diseases. They may also bring ticks into your home. Tick collars, sprays, shampoos or monthly “top spot” medications help protect against ticks. •B athe or shower as soon as possible after coming indoors to wash off and more easily find crawling ticks before they bite you. •C onduct a full-body tick check using a hand-held or full-length mirror to view all parts of your body upon returning from tick-infested areas. Parents should help children check thoroughly for ticks. Remove any ticks right away. •T umble dry clothes in a dryer on high heat for 10 minutes to kill ticks on dry clothing after you come indoors. If the clothes are damp, additional time may be needed.

Endometriosis: Facts For Every Woman

Do you, your daughter, other female family member or friend miss work, school, sports practice or social events every month due to painful or heavy periods? If the answer is yes, the cause may be endometriosis. Endometriosis is a common condition that affects approximately 1 in 10 women and female teens. Although not everyone experiences symptoms, the most common are dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps), pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, pain during bowel movements and infertility. Although endometriosis is common, it’s also widely misunderstood and often misdiagnosed. Education is important to increasing awareness. Katz Institute for Women’s Health at Northwell Health recently joined Dr. Christine Metz, investigator at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research and professor at the Hofstra Northwell School of Medicine, for a Q&A session on the topic of endometriosis. Metz shared some valuable information and insights.

What Is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis is characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue or lesions outside of the uterus. These lesions can grow on the lining of the pelvis, internal

organs (e.g. the outside of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes and rectum). In some women, lesions can grow on more distant areas of the body, including the diaphragm, lungs, kidneys and brain.

What Causes Endometriosis?

The cause of endometriosis is not completely understood. However, many researchers believe that it arises after abnormal menstrual flow where menstrual blood is carried through the fallopian tubes into the pelvic cavity instead of exiting through the vagina. Like the endometrium, which sheds monthly, endometriosis lesions bleed in response to monthly hormone fluctuations. Other factors that may influence endometriosis are genetics and environmental and immune system factors.

How Is Endometriosis Diagnosed?

One of the most frustrating problems for patients with endometriosis is delayed diagnosis, which can take up to 10 years. The diagnosis of endometriosis requires laparoscopic surgery with pathology confirmation of the biopsy specimens. Early diagnosis by a doctor who specializes in treating

endometriosis patients is important because early treatment can dramatically improve patient outcomes.

Do Pain And Other Symptoms Correlate With The Severity Of Endometriosis?

No. Pain and other symptoms do not always correlate with the severity of the disease.

What Are The Treatments For Endometriosis?

While there is no cure for endometriosis, treatments include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drugs and other pain relievers, hormonal contraceptives (e.g. birth control pills

or vaginal rings), other hormonal agents (e.g. gonadotropin-releasing hormone {GnRH} agonists and antagonists, androgenic agents, progestins and Danazol) and surgery to remove the lesions or the uterus (in severe cases only).

What Can Women Do?

Researchers at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research at Northwell Health are looking for women with and without endometriosis to participate in the ROSE (Research OutSmarts Endometriosis) research study. Call the Katz Institute for Women’s Health at 516-562-3636 for more information. —Submitted by Katz Institute for Women’s Health

ummer is officially here. Beach trips, summer barbecues and days at the pool are in full swing. As a dietitian, I love the summer months because there is an abundance of refreshing and healthy foods that are in season. Better yet, the longer days and warm weather inspires us to get outside and start moving. Although the summer months are filled with healthy food and exciting activities, it’s also known to bring about quite a bit of food temptation. Trips to the ice cream parlor or late night family barbecues can lead to overeating and overindulging. Balance and moderation are two key concepts to think about when it comes to your health and nutrition. Most foods can fit into a healthy lifestyle, but it’s important to eat mindfully and be conscious of portion sizes. If you can make a few healthy substitutes in your cooking, you can indulge without the guilt. Below are a few nutritious swaps and recipe ideas for typical summer desserts.

Who doesn’t love a refreshing, cold treat on a beautiful summer day? Instead of typical ice pops loaded with excess sugar and chemicals, opt for a healthier homemade version. This is a great way to get the whole family involved in making a nutritious sweet treat.

Feel free to mix in chopped strawberry and blueberry pieces as well. Freeze and serve when chilled for a protein-packed treat.

Instead of your typical cupcake mix, opt for light and airy angel food cake. You can purchase an angel food cake mix and distribute evenly into cupcake trays.

This is a crowd-pleasing dish that is perfect for the summer. Angel food cake is also a light swap in standard trifle and cake dishes.

A Lifetime Of Giving Back

Northwell Health honors Sandra Bass for contributions BY NICOLE LOCKWOOD nlockwood@antonmediagroup.com

“To give is a very selfish act, because it makes the giver feel good. I never expected this kind of ovation, but it makes me very happy and I would like to do more,” said a humbled Sandra Bass at a ceremony in honor of her ongoing contributions to Northwell Health and its health care facilities. “I just want everyone to be healthy and happy, whether they are a person or an animal.” Ineffable appreciation was evident by the dozens who were on hand to recognize the philanthropic work of Bass, whose lifetime donations to Northwell Health currently amount to more than $93 million. The ceremony, held at the Manhasset campus of Northwell Health, located at 300 Community Dr., was in light of Bass’ ongoing dedication to the network of hospitals within the Northwell system, which most recently includes a gift of $25 million to be directed toward North Shore University Hospital (NSUH) to support the Sandra Atlas Bass Heart Hospital, aptly named after the

from the beginning, and I think she sees today, that her philanthropy can help one person at a time.” Bass, her family and friends, and Northwell’s administrative and clinical leaders were also on hand to offer their congratulations and praise

the accomplishments of the hospital, largely due to Bass’ donations, which Barry Kaplan, MD, co-director of the heart hospital, claims “will help [Northwell] propel the center into a nationwide leader.” “Our vision for the Sandra Atlas

Life On The Road

Q-and-A with Boston bassist Tracy Ferrie BY CHRIS CALLAWAY

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

Boston’s muscular rock successfully infiltrated mid-to-late ‘70s hit radio with equal parts testosterone and hooks. A slew of material from their 1976 self-titled debut has long been recognizable on radio, including the riff-ridden rocker, “More Than a Feeling.” The group, with the vital core of vocalist Brad Delp and guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Tom Scholz, went on to release Don’t Look Back in 1978 and Third Stage an astonishing eight years later. Third Stage boasted “Amanda,” “We’re Ready,” and “Cool the Engines,” three of the best mid‘80s rock tunes to rear their guitar-loving heads. The band was appropriately welcomed back.

Tracie Ferrie (Photo by Kamal Asar) Boston has continued to release studio albums several years apart, making a significant gap between discs commonplace. The group’s latest, Life, Love & Hope (2013), features Brad Delp’s vocals on a few of the tunes; a nice tribute to the powerhouse vocalist who sadly passed away in 2007. It remains to be seen if MIT grad/musical equipment genius Tom Scholz and company release a follow-up album. Boston hit the road recently, with a Jones Beach show scheduled for July 23. We caught up with bassist Tracy Ferrie while on a performance-free travel day. The roller skating pro and former Stryper bassist couldn’t have been nicer. Chris Callaway: What was it like when you got the Boston gig? Tracy Ferrie: It was very unique in the fact that I didn’t have to audition (laughs). There are all these bands across the United States and then you move to Nashville and there’s auditions every week or so for someone if you’re not on the road. I’ve done well in some auditions and some not as well; some of the ones that I didn’t do so well, I ended up getting the job. But Tom [Scholz] called out of the blue with his low-tone voice, “Tracy, would you like to go on tour with Boston?” I said, “Of course I would.” Who wouldn’t?

CC: I understand there are some cool new special effects on the current tour. TF: Last tour—the 40th anniversary—we started this lightning effect that was just on top of the amps. Tom [Scholz] built it in his garage. I spent a night or two over there, cutting

the LED strips. They are very bright; you have to use a special voltage. We soldered and cut tons and tons of wire just for that one panel I worked on with him. There’s several dozen panels up there now, so he really took a lot of time to do it. Now some of those lightning effects are on our guitars. There’s a point where the

guitar, at this crescendo, goes over to a touchpoint and causes the rest of the lightning to chase up the drums and over the amps. It’s really cool. It takes a lot of practice, ‘cause I actually have to play these solo parts that we worked out. I’ve got to play, hit pedals and hit this one spot where the

lightning touches and then I’ve got to hit more pedals. It’s a dance. CC: Have you worn roller skates on stage with Boston? TF: No, but I would certainly entertain that idea if it ever came up. A lot of fans and a lot of interviewers have asked that question, but I’m never

going to bring it up (laughs). Let me tell a funny story I think you’d enjoy. Just the other night—I’ve got a lot of funny, goofy moves as the night goes on—I’m doing my little thing across the stage. Gary [Pihl, guitar/ keyboards/backing vocals] is looking at me coming toward him and he’s got this smile and he’s laughing. I’m like, “Come on, Gary. You’ve seen everything I do.” After the show, he goes, “What I was laughing at is Tom [Scholz] was coming behind you; he was mimicking what you were doing.” He’s like a foot taller than me, so it must have looked like this giant shadow (laughs). So, last night, I caught him doing that. I turned around and I’m like, “Gotcha!” Boston with Joan Jett & The Blackhearts performs as part of their Hyper Space Tour at Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater on Sunday, July 23, at 7:30 p.m. Visit www.jonesbeach.com for tickets.

Our Goal is Zero. We’ve come a long way in getting kids covered and giving them a healthy start in life - with regular checkups, dental and eye care, immunizations, and a doctor who knows their name. But today, there are still more than 100,000 children in New York State who do not have health insurance – or the care they need to grow up happy, healthy, and strong. It’s a troubling statistic that we can change.

That’s why Fidelis Care is joining with New Yorkers everywhere to tell parents that learning about quality, affordable health insurance is just a call or click away.

Breast Cancer Hotline Volunteers Sought The Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program seeks breast cancer survivors of all ages, race and ethnicity—men as well as women—to become volunteers. Thus, the program seeks a diverse group of volunteers to reflect the diversity of the people who are calling the hotline. The three-day training program will take place on consecutive Tuesdays—Sept. 12, 19 and 26, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Adelphi University in Garden City. This in-depth training includes presentations

by nurse navigators and social workers on basic breast cancer education, active listening skills, and tips on engaging the community. “It is so important for people who call our hotline to speak with someone who has been there,” said social worker Alida Rubenstein, volunteer and hotline coordinator. To arrange an interview, contact Alida Rubenstein at arubenstein@adelphi.edu or 516 877-4315. To reach the Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline, call 800-877-8077.

Cardiac Care Fundraiser The Long Island Edge 18U hockey team will hold a fundraiser, Edge out Heart Disease, on Sunday, July 16, at 2 p.m. at the Port Washington Skating Center (70 Seaview Blvd.) to benefit the Sandra Atlas Bass Heart Hospital at North Shore University Hospital. Local merchants and businesses have donated gifts for the fundraiser. The team went 22-0-0 for an undefeated season and won the Long Island Championship, but that was not without a challenge. During the second period of the championship game, their coach suffered a major heart attack. Luckily he is on his way to make a full recovery. The

team went on to qualify for State Championship where they advanced to the semi-finals, losing in overtime. In gratitude for a successful surgery, the team is looking to raise awareness for heart disease. Community members are welcomed to an open skate from 2 to 4 p.m. on July 16. Skate rentals and ice time is provided with a minimum donation of $10 per person. All proceeds will go directly to the Sandra Atlas Bass Heart Hospital at North Shore University Hospital. Contact Alexandra Boisselle, Edge Fundraising Committee member, at 516-972-6164 for details.

WE LOVE OUR PETS

How To Save Money While Welcoming A New Pet To Your Home Save money on nutritious food.

BY NATHANIEL SILLIN editorial@antonmediagroup.com

Once you bring a pet home, it’s your responsibility to provide for them. You can ask your vet for food recommendations (and free samples) based on the pet’s type and age. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has general nutrition tips for dogs and cats, including age-based diet recommendations. Once you’ve found a food that you and your pet likes, you may be able to get a discount by signing up for a subscription delivery service online. Or, if you don’t mind the workout, consider buying in bulk at a warehouse club.

Whether it’s a dog, cat or another furry (or scaly) friend, many people have pets who are more than just animals—they’re part of the family. Pets can be friends, they can offer nonjudgmental companionship when you’re feeling down and they can put a smile on your face. To provide the best care for a pet, you’ll want to be able to afford their needs, including the basics like food and healthcare. With this in mind, think carefully and review your budget before deciding to welcome an animal into your family.

Choose a pet that you can afford.

Keep your pet healthy and happy.

Health care can be one of the most expensive aspects of pet ownership.

As with humans, it’s often best to invest in preventative care rather than treat emergencies. Follow your pet’s recommended vaccination schedule and treatments, spay or neuter cats and dogs and visit the vet at least once a year for a checkup. Finding and dealing with health problems early on isn’t only less expensive, you may be able to prevent serious problems and improve your pet’s quality of life. Some types of preventative care don’t require a visit to the vet, although you can still ask for recommendations. For example, brushing your dog’s teeth (with special toothpaste) can help

prevent teeth and gum problems.

Consider pet insurance to cover emergencies.

When a pet is part of the family, you’ll do anything to help him or her. You may want to have an insurance policy to help cover emergencies that you might not be able to afford otherwise. Particularly if you have a high-risk breed, a pet that tends to escape or you live in an area with a lot of other potentially aggressive animals. Before buying a policy, read up on how pet insurance works. There can be important differences between pet and human policies.

Another responsibility pet owners take on is making sure their pet is looked after while they’re away. The least expensive option may be to find a neighbor or friend who also has a pet and exchange free pet-sitting services. Otherwise, you can look for a well-reviewed doggy daycare center or boarding service. You could try one of the several apps that connect you with someone who can feed, walk or play with your pet. If you’re away for several days, the apps can also help you find someone who will spend the night or take your pet to their home. Bottom line: Taking a pet into your home and caring for them can be a rewarding and wonderful experience. It can also be life changing. Review the potential immediate and longterm costs to help ensure that you’ll be able to provide for a pet once they join your family. Nathaniel Sillin directs Visa’s financial education programs.

While the initial cost of adopting or buying a pet is relatively small compared to the long-term expenses, the type of pet you choose does matter. Admittedly, you might visit the pound and fall in love with a dog or cat. What can you do? The heart wants what the heart wants. Research is a must if you want to take cost-saving measures, though. For example, larger animal breeds may be more expensive to care for, partially because they simply eat more food. And if you’re taking in a dog you’ll want to consider the cost of training, which could set you back several hundred dollars. Lifespan is another consideration. Hamsters, gerbils and some types of fish may only live a couple of years. A pet turtle, on the other hand, could live several decades.

Have a plan for when you’re unavailable.

Coleslaw Goes Mayo-Free In This Summer Dish

The warm summer weather always makes me want to eat outside. There is just something so lovely about setting up a table outside and sharing food, especially food cooked over a grill. And what goes better with grilled meat than coleslaw? The problem is most coleslaws are mayonnaise-based and I wonder about the safety of mayo sitting around outside. Enter this mayo-free, Asian-inspired coleslaw recipe. I quickly roast broccoli with cherry tomatoes, then combine them with a bunch of other veggies in a quick nut-free, Asian-inspired dressing. Instead of peanut butter, you can use sunflower seed butter, which gives the dressing the creaminess of mayo and lends that peanut sauce flavor without the peanuts. You don’t have to eat this outside—it’s really good anywhere. And you can make it ahead if you like or eat it pretty much straight away.

Gluten-Free Roasted Broccoli Coleslaw Serves 6

Ingredients 1 lb broccoli florets 1 pint cherry tomatoes 7 Tbsp olive oil, divided 1½ tsp kosher or fine sea salt ¾ tsp freshly ground black pepper ¼ c creamy peanut butter or sunflower seed butter 3 Tbsp brown sugar 2 Tbsp lime juice 1- 2 Tbsp chili garlic sauce (depending on taste) 1 Tbsp fish sauce ½ small green cabbage, shredded (about 4 c shredded) 1½ c shelled edamame 1 c shredded carrots 2 Fresno chilies, sliced Directionss Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the broccoli and tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with three tablespoons oil, salt and pepper. Toss to coat.

SIMPLY GLUTEN FREE Carol Kicinski

Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the broccoli starts to brown and the tomatoes soften and start to pop open. In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining four tablespoons oil with the peanut butter, brown sugar, lime juice, chili garlic sauce and fish sauce. Mix well.

As soon as the broccoli and tomatoes are done, scrape them into the bowl with the dressing and stir well. Add extra salt and pepper, if desired. Add the cabbage, edamame, carrots and chilies. Toss to coat. Let cool. Can be eaten warm, room temperature or cold.

A wonderful change from traditional coleslaw, this dish contains no mayo and is Asian-inspired.

Holiday Mathis Holiday Mathis Mathis HOROSCOPES ByByByHoliday ARIES (March 21-April 19). This week will be the start of an important effort. Take a “before” picture, because there will definitely be an “after” later. Write down the data that you are likely to find to be relevant in the measurement of this process. Feelings and thoughts will count, too. In fact, this journey could mostly be one of emotions.

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND Across The T Tasman Solution: 22 Letters

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Some say that wickedness is a kind of deep darkness, generously suggesting that those who do wicked things “don’t know over what they stumble.” But what about when all indications are that a person should know better? Perhaps it’s a waste of time to judge, but it’s not a waste of time to anticipate and protect yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Though you don’t feel entirely different from last week, a new era of your life is beginning. You can count on this. One small change in your thoughts and habits will begin an entire chain of new behavior. It’s happening quite organically. You don’t have to use a ton of willpower; just remain open to the natural flow. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Tune in, and stay tuned. Train yourself to listen to what isn’t being said. It will be the practice through which you will become most knowledgeable. The deeper levels of education will offer the most reward. They take time, experience and relentless awareness to acquire. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Desire without knowledge is pure, gut-level and likely totally erroneous. Treat this kind of desire as a story sent by your imagination to point you in a potentially satisfying direction. Don’t take it as a plan or a sign. Investigate further. Add knowledge to the equation. With more information, this will get good. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You trust a person, but confidence will erode like an eraser with each mistake the person makes. Perhaps it’s you who is really making the mistake. Instead of placing your trust in a person, learn her instead. Observe and experiment until you can accurately predict what she will do. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The real you is pure, vulnerable and in the process of becoming. Just as the cocoon protects the transforming butterfly, so will this week’s rules protect the treasure that is growing within you. You will not need to be around very many people, only your innermost circle and/or the most nurturing and accepting of individuals. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In one relationship or adventure, you’ll experience a sense of winding down. You may wonder if the situation is coming to a natural conclusion. Then again, you might have just hit a boring part -- a lull you should wait out or trudge through. Keep in mind that happy endings depend on where you stop the story. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). First comes your purpose. Then comes their opinion. It’s not that they know better or have a right to weigh in; it’s just that you’re doing something, and that gets people a little excited. It’s too soon for anyone to weigh in. Keep going with your original intent a while longer before you let yourself be influenced. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Love is joy. Love is pain. Love is surprise. Those who say they are through with love do it again. Those who are addicted give it up -- then find themselves right back where love starts: a glance, a scent, the sound of a voice. Your love life is about to get a whole lot more interesting. Take a breath. Open your heart. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll find it relatively easy to control the urge to be sentimental. You sense when to look back and when to get busy with the now. You understand when to connect and when to move on. Others will depend on your stoicism. Your grounded sensibility just might keep the entire group on track this week. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ve fought at something a while without making headway. Consider giving up the struggle. Accept the situation for what it is. You’ll know within the week if this tactic is right to continue using. Either you’ll be able to relax and focus elsewhere or you’ll relax and gather strength to finally rise again and conquer this thing.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

The things that make you feel alive, to feel, love, weep, dance, sweat, strive -- all these bases will be covered, though the first part will be more of a slow progressive climb than an eventful course. Create things. Enrich yourself through learning. And bask in beauty, especially the loveliness of ordinary things. A change of cast will spark things up in your personal and professional life. One dynamo will change the whole picture. You’ll take a vow of honor in October. The windfall months are September and March. The best time to start new business or study will be January.

MUSIC FEATURE

Rocking A Side Pony With Lake Street Dive BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO dgilderuBio@antonmediagroup.com

For the uninitiated, a side pony is an unconventional version of a pony tail that comes off the side of the wearer’s head versus the back. It reflects a spirit of individuality not unlike what you’d encounter when you listen to what Lake Street Dive (LSD) has to offer musically. A four-piece band consisting of alumni from the New England Conservatory of Music (where they all met), LSD has been plying its jazz-influenced style of blue-eyed soul for the past 17 years. Consisting of Rachael Price, Mike “McDuck” Olson, Bridget Kearney and Mike Calabrese, the once-Bostonbased quartet are out in support of the aforementioned Side Pony, the group’s fifth studio album and first for Nonesuch Records, which was released early last year. For Olson, this latest chapter in the band’s journey is an extension of the foursome’s initial intentions to play music with like-minded folk who gibe on and off the stage. “The first time we got together was relatively inauspicious. We played for probably about a half hour tops and jammed on basic song forms that we

knew as jazz students. There wasn’t necessarily a spark that went off in all four of our heads where we thought we were going to be doing this for 10-plus

years. It was more like we felt it was fun and maybe we could [play together] again,” he recalled. “We were Lake Street Dive from the beginning. There was a concept behind this group of four people because we were all jazz students and at this warm, inviting yet somewhat buttoned-up conservatory atmosphere, the impetus was for the band to be less formally jazz-centric. The sort of tongue-in-cheek reference in the name is of sort of being a dive bar band versus the hallowed halls of jazz studies. That was the concept that informed us from very early on and still does in a lot of ways.” This spark of inspiration continues full throttle on Side Pony, which found them joining forces with Nashvillebased producer Dave Cobb (Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson), a like-minded soul who encouraged LSD’s blend of soul, jazz, blues and rock. Far from just being some kind of imitation game, these songs find the foursome being inspired by something old and transforming these ideas into new and catchy tunes that become irresistible. It ranges from “How Good It Feels,” which captures a Muscle Shoals vibe in a bar at closing time punctuated by call-and-response vocals and Olson’s liberal Mellotron runs, to the thumping “Hell Yeah,” which simultaneously takes the listener back to Rascals-flavored pop while jump-starting a desire to do the Frug. Further stoking the urge for anyone within hearing distance to move their feet is “Can’t Stop,” which has a serious groove embedded in it thanks to an abundance of sweet

harmonies, syncopated rhythms and a sample from the 1978 Major Lance earworm “Love Pains.” Olson credits the outcome on working with Cobb, whose unconventionality in the studio was something LSD wound up adapting to and embracing. “I think our very formal training gives a certain sort of methodology when we work together, arrange and write music together. And it can be very nit-picky and I don’t mean that to be disparaging. We try things over and over and over again until it really feels like it works. Not just whether the chorus or the verse come here. What I’m talking about is form, like who is singing which note? We try each and every permutation of vocal harmonies and we see what pops the best,” he explained. “Then we go into the studio with Dave, he’ll say what a song needs and then hum it out and we don’t actually know what he’s getting at. So we had to learn how to speak Dave Cobb and it was a completely different language. It was so intuitive and visceral and that was sort of wonderful for us too. That was giving ourselves up to the process.” The band has come quite a way since perking ears up back in 2013 via a YouTube clip of them performing the Jackson Five’s “I Want You Back” on a Brighton, MA street corner. Between this exposure and constant gigging, a chain reaction ensued in which one fan of the band, Gabe Witcher of the Punch Brothers, hipped T-Bone Burnett to them. Burnett invited LSD to participate in the Another Day, Another Time event, a December 2013 show curated by him in New York City featuring music from and inspired by the Coen Brothers film Inside LLewyn Davis. The up-andcoming Beantown outfit appeared on that bill and the subsequent documentary. It was a surreal experience Olson still marvels at nearly five years later. “It was unbelievable. We spent a lot of time backstage with wide eyes seeing Joan Baez, Gillian Welch and Elvis Costello wandering by and hobnobbing with one another and feeling like we had snuck backstage. You know how after Little League games both teams line up and give each other high fives? It was like that backstage,” he recalled. “We later realized how many people of significance were in the audience. Then we got a write-up from Rolling Stone and television appearances from the people in the audience, so that is still kind of paying dividends in a lot of ways that we didn’t realize.” Lake Street Dive will be appearing on July 12 at The Space at Westbury, 250 Post Ave. 8 p.m. 800-745-3000, www. thespaceatwestbury.com

On July 15, headliners Omar “El Panterita” Figueroa and Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero, both former world champions, will take to the newly renovated coliseum for a highly anticipated showdown, which will be broadcast live across the country at 8 p.m. EST on FOX and FOX Deportes. Also competing will be Long Beach native Seanie Monaghan (28-0, 17 KOs), dubbed the “Irish Rocky,” and Marcus Browne (19-0, 14 KOs), often referred to as the “pride of Staten Island,” both of whom are undefeated in their professional careers thus far. “I know [Marcus], I know he’s a difficult guy to fight,” said Monaghan in a recent press conference regarding his soon-to-be opponent. “At this

Local undercut fighters, including Tommy Rainone, Alicia Napoleon, Patrick Day and Vincenzo D’Angelo will also be added to the lineup of seasoned boxers. “It’s been 31 years since we had the last fight here at the coliseum,” said Lou DiBella, president of DiBella Entertainment, responsible for bringing Premier Boxing Champions to the coliseum. “It’s a thrill to bring it back, and bring it back with some great people.” The last boxer to square off at Nassau Coliseum was Mike Tyson in March of 1986. DiBella is certain that the upcoming matches will garner a large turnout, and be the first of many future boxing events to be held at the coliseum.

Wing Wars BY STEVE MOSCO SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

hings are about to get saucy. Chicken wing champs from years past will face off for the buffalo battle of the century at the New York Best Wings Fest Ultimate Championships set for Sunday, July 30, at Mulcahy’s Pub. Matt Kourie, co-founder of NY Best Wings Festival, has built a colossal bill of competitors and judges who will converge to decide once and for all, who slings the best wings in New York. “This is the ultimate championship. Fans who come will eat the best wings on Long Island and we will crown a champion,” said the confident Kourie. “We called on all of our past wing champs to either throw down or chicken out.” Local wing lords answered the call and so far the combatants include Brews Brothers Grille from Franklin

Square, Long Beach’s SwingBelly’s BBQ, Krave It representing Bayside, Queens, L.I. Pour House from Port Jefferson Station, Massapequa’s American Beauty Bistro, Long Beachbased caterer Matty Smokes BBQ and wing chain Wing Zone with more contenders still to be named. Kourie said the “Amaze-Wing” challengers will cross wings in categories including Best Buffalo Wings, Best BBQ Wings, Tastiest Hottest Wing, Best Unique Flavor Wings and Best Dessert Wings. “The Tastiest Hottest Wing category is super intriguing,” said Kourie. “We’re not looking for wings that will just burn our judges alive, but wings that bring the heat without sacrificing delicious flavor.” But for those who do want to feel the burn, there will be a Hottest Wing Eating Championship Wingsanity, with craft beer flowing like water throughout the event—to cool down

Festival cofounders Robert Wittman and Matthew Kourie bring the ultimate championship to Mulcahy’s on July 30. both combatants and wing revelers. Over the better part of the past decade, Kourie has become a master wing hunter, food follower and libation authority. He has also been a featured judge for numerous wing and food festivals, including the NYC Hot Sauce Expo, The Bacon & Beer Classic, The National Buffalo Wing Festival and many more. “After all these years of being a wing hunter, I’ve gone through different phases of favorite wings,” he said, adding that he is currently burned out on overly hot wings. “Right now I am a Buffalo Wing purist and some places slinging wings like they do at Duff’s and Anchor Bar in Buffalo include Wander Inn, Press 195 and Charlie Meaney’s in Valley Stream.” To Kourie’s wing-centric mind, any chicken wing worth having its bone cleaned must have a crisp exterior, juicy interior and a sauce or rub that offers a dynamic savoriness. And while even bad wings can be devoured by the dozen, there are some drab characteristics that can break Kourie’s wing-eating heart.

“There are some wings I call ‘Disgust-Wing,’” he said. “These are over-fried and all shriveled up. Also those Costco wings that are big and bulbous with absolutely no flavor.” And then there’s so-called “boneless wings,” which, according to Kourie, do not truly exist. “There are no such thing as boneless wings—only chicken nuggets and chicken fingers,” he said. “Now, deboned wings on the other hand—that’s something you don’t see everyday.” Kourie said the championship event will be the ultimate wing crawl under one roof and he implores wing aficionados to nab tickets before all are devoured. Tickets range from $30 to $55 and include Wing Lover General Admission all the way to Wing Hunter VIP. Purchase tickets at www.eventbrite.com/e/ ny-best-wings-fest-ultimate-championships-tickets-32179832746. “The competition is going to be the toughest we’ve ever seen,” said Kourie. “This is the best of the best going head-to-head with fantastic wings. You literally cannot go wrong.”
