Getting Louder Now

Aussie rocker Courtney Barnett revisits Brooklyn

BY STEVE MOSCO SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

n her latest album’s opening track, “Hopefulessness,” Courtney Barnett whispers over a grungy guitar dirge, “Take your broken heart/turn it into art,” before promising “Can’t take it with you/Can’t take it with you.” It’s in that spirit that Barnett hits the road this summer and deep into the fall in support of the album, Tell Me How You Really Feel. The trek takes the Australian singer-songwriter through North America, including a stop at the BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn Festival at the Prospect Park Bandshell on July 25—a venue Barnett is looking forward to playing in a borough that has become a frequent stop during her seemingly constant touring schedule. “I love it. We’ve played a lot there,” Barnett said of Brooklyn. “New York is a special spot for me. It’s the first place I ever went and toured overseas, playing my first ever shows outside of Australia. And every time we go back, we play in bigger spots and, I don’t know, I’ve always felt really lucky in New York, always a great connection with the crowd.” Barnett’s last connection with a New York crowd was at Music Hall of Williamsburg on May 19, the day after the release of Tell Me How You Really Feel, a brisk 10-song journey through the full spectrum of human emotion—despair, hope, anger, anxiety, fear—it’s all represented with Barnett’s signature wry lyrical style laid over guitar-led indie rock. During that mini-tour, Barnett and her band played the new album in its entirety, before mixing in songs spanning her fledgling career. “It was great to feel how [the songs] transform live and seeing people connect with them was really incredible,” she said, adding the self-confessional nature of her songs can make live performances somewhat nerve-wracking. “It’s very vulnerable and that in and of itself is pretty terrifying. The first couple of shows or maybe that first tour that we just finished was quite emotionally taxing, but in a good way—like it’s good to get nervous before a show because it shows you’re alive and you have emotions. The process of performing the songs as opposed to writing and recording them is this whole other world and adds greater depth of understanding of what the songs actually are.”

Her latest batch of songs sees Barnett evolve into new lyrical and musical territory, with a higher level of urgency injected into her songwriting than was present on her full-length debut, 2015’s Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit, or on her 2013 double EP A Sea of Split Peas, which featured the crossover hit “Avant Gardener,” a breezy, yet anxiety-riddled tune that is likely the best song ever written about suffering an asthma attack while gardening. And though Barnett’s music has

always possessed an element of self-examination hidden beneath her droll delivery, Tell Me How You Really Feel adds a dark and mournful twist that exposes the songwriter’s vulnerabilities and world-weary angst. There’s the timely anger of “I’m Not Your Mother, I’m Not Your Bitch;” the online comment section torpedoing of “Nameless, Faceless;” the emotionally naked “Need A Little Time;” the self-explanatory “Crippling Self-Doubt and a General Lack of Confidence;” and the

20180720_XAL_LNW_PG00 - 12:43 July 16, 2018

all-is-not-lost-even-though-it-reallyfeels-like-it-is spirit of the aforementioned “Hopefulessness.” The tracks convey the message that Barnett is not pulling any punches—either with the world at large or with herself. “I think I always had this anger in me my whole life and it kind of crept out in some songs,” said Barnett. “I think the last couple of years I’ve had some realizations and begun to understand the anger in a different way and I’m finding this whole other frustration in the world that we have come to know. I guess it came out in a way that maybe it was bottled up before and it came out quite abruptly. I was just sick of sitting with it and holding it in.” Barnett said that much of the new album deals with that release of anger, but also the full gamut of emotions we all live with in a world that seems to deliver a constant flow of new calamities. “It sums up the feeling of hopelessness in a world where you want to be hopeful and you want to be positive and you want to be strong and you want to help and you want to make a change, but you don’t know how,” she said. “I feel a lot of anger and sadness and frustration and despair. It’s such an overwhelming [pauses] it’s a f*cking overwhelming world that we’re living in and it’s hard to not just lie down and give up. It’s all about trying to figure out what to do with that energy.” And the energy built up on the album culminates in the set’s closer “Sunday Roast,” a song that came from Barnett and friends getting together once a week for dinner. It’s a positive, sweet-sounding tune dripping with melancholy optimism—ending with the cold comfort of its uplifting fadeout that confirms the dourness of the opening track while giving the listener something, anything, to hold onto. “It’s community and it’s friendship and it’s coming together,” she said of the closing song. “And it’s being aware that we all have our own stuff going on. I was seeing people in pain and me similarly feeling that and I guess the idea is that you can share that weight with people and you can talk about it and you can communicate and it won’t make it better, but it will make it a little bit better.” Courtney Barnett performs at BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn Festival at the Prospect Park Bandshell on Wednesday, July 25.

The Essential Courtney Barnett

BY STEVE MOSCO SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

ven though she is a relatively new artist, Courtney Barnett’s fan base is a devoted one—connecting with the songwriter through her revealing and relatable lyrics, but also latching onto her straight-up rocking live performances. With influences audibly rooted in 1990s-era grunge and other forms of guitar-driven rock, Barnett’s songs offer the best of dysfunctional pop music with meaning. “You can’t overlook how much that [music] creeps into your bones regardless of how good it actually is or what it means,” Barnett said of her musical influences. “I think sometimes it’s just that memory, but a lot of those songs have audible, lyrical, relatable stuff that happens to be kind of poppy. Like dirty pop. Like something that’s catchy, but still a little bit f*cked up.”

With that in mind, here are seven must-listen Courtney Barnett songs for beginners.

“Avant Gardener”

A Sea of Split Peas, 2015 Barnett’s dreamy exploration of what happens when you find ambition, and it fails miserably. Partly delivered in Dylan-esque spoken

word, the song is the true story of a day when Barnett decided to pull herself out of a bed-ridden funk to do some gardening, before ending up in the hospital due to suffering an asthma-induced panic attack.

OR K ST TP S E

Tell Me How You Really Feel, 2018 This melodic slice of post-grunge features Barnett’s view of the world after her reemergence following an extended self-imposed isolation. The driving melody carries the decidedly dark lyrics, giving way to a soothing outro that highlights Barnett’s filthy guitar mastery.

“Three Packs A Day”

Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit, 2015 A reflection on house hunting turns somber when Barnett imagines the long-lost life of the home’s previous owner. It closes with the repeated line, “If you’ve got a spare half a million, you could knock it down and start rebuilding,” sung in a comforting gloominess.

“Pedestrian At Best”

“City Looks Pretty”

Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit, 2015 This is a heavy epic both in terms of lyrical tone and musical bent. The song conveys the world’s dire environmental straits in a way that, frankly, can make the listener lose all hope, culminating in a feedback-rich guitar assault that transforms the hopelessness into pure rage. Non-album single, 2016 A jaunty confessional where Barnett reveals her addiction to, not cigarettes, but Mi Goreng, Australia’s version of Ramen instant noodles. She sings, “I’m down to three packs a day, I sneak away to find a kettle/I withdraw from all my friends and their dinner plans/I’m sick of lentils” in a song instantly relatable to anyone whose financial situation constantly sends them back to the noodle pack.

her own self-criticisms. The jangled, almost stream-of-consciousness rambling of the verses gives way to the pointed kick of the chorus’ “Put me on a pedestal and I’ll only disappoint you.”

“Depreston”

“Nameless, Faceless”

Tell Me How You Really Feel, 2018 The lead single off the latest album, the biting, raucous “Nameless, Faceless” growls with weaponized anger directed squarely at anonymous online abuse. It specifically skewers the male gaze of the digital age, lamenting that she holds “her keys between her fingers.”

MUSIC

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

n the world of rock and roll, instruments like shawms, hurdy-gurdies, mandolas and pennywhistles are far from the norm. And that’s something that suits Ritchie Blackmore and his spouse, Candice Night, just fine. As the creative driving force behind Blackmore’s Night, the duo has spent the past 21 years doing a deep dive into Renaissance/medieval music that has a folk-rock base, but is light-years away from Blackmore’s better-known work within hard rock outfits like Deep Purple and Rainbow. Last year marked the 20th anniversary of Blackmore’s Night and saw

the release of the anthology To the Moon and Back: 20 Years and Beyond, a 2-CD collection of 26 tracks and a video that draws material from the 10 studio albums the outfit has released. The couple’s deep seated interest in music from the 1500s and 1600s has them and their audience dressing in garb you might find at a Renaissance fair, but grappling with the challenge of using unorthodox instruments to play music that dates back a few centuries for which there is no ability to pull up YouTube videos to see how it was being done way back when. “We have to be the pioneers to know what the hell we’re doing. It’s guesswork, most of the time to come up with our songs because I’m used

Blackmore’s Night, from left: Troubadour of Aberdeen, Scarlett Fiddler, Lady Lynn, Ritchie Blackmore, Candice Night, Earl Grey and Bard David (Photo by Peter Stickler) to guitar, bass and drums from the old days. And this is totally different. You have to start thinking about woodwind instruments and hurdy-gurdies and a different way of looking at music. We can’t really listen to anybody else because not too many bands are playing this kind of music,” Blackmore explained. “Sometimes I find myself coming up against a brick wall as far as being creative, because we’re not sure

where we’re going. Sometimes we get it right and sometimes we don’t.” Night emphasizes how helpful annual pilgrimages to Germany and Eastern Europe have helped shaped the group’s sound over time. “We’ve pulled on regional folk melodies from areas around the world and we’ll hear things we’d normally never be [exposed] to here on Long Island and in America,” she said. “We’ll have

the same music that would later inspire Blackmore’s Night also deepened the Somerset native’s fascination with music from this time period. “Hearing this 10-year-old little guy sing ‘Greensleeves’ just took me back to another time. Even as a 10-year-old, it was almost like a reincarnation kind of thing. And then in 1972, I heard David Munrow and the Early Music Consort of London playing the music to Henry VIII and His Wives, which was a TV series on the BBC,” he recalled. “I think the final blow was being in a castle in Germany in 1986 and I was just sitting there and in walked this medieval band playing bagpipes, shawms, nyckelharpa and all these sorts of instruments and it was absolutely wonderful. I’d never really seen a traveling band playing medieval music. So that got me hooked completely. I’ve never looked back from that day of meeting that group. They often, especially in Europe, used to open for us. So the audience would kind of have a medieval/Renaissanceinspired evening that was echoed by all the costumes that they would wear.” While defining the music of

Blackmore’s Night to the uninitiated can be a bit tricky, Night admits that her husband’s prior Rock and Roll Hall of Fame accomplishments and respected musical prowess have not only brought over a number of hard rock converts, but also contributed to a tribal following of unlikely musical fans. “It’s interesting because you’ll see someone who is a complete hippie, nature-worshipper hugging trees next to a lawyer next to a biker. None of these people would realize that they all have something in common in normal walks of life. But when they come to our shows, it’s so great to see all of them becoming friends. They look at it as a family reunion and wind up bonding together every year,” she said. “It’s an incredible, positive energy that we put out there and at the end of the day, seeing people walk away from the shows with smiles on their faces and still talking about the amazing experience they had that night is reward enough for us.” Blackmore’s Night will be appearing on July 22 at The Paramount, 370 New York Ave. Huntington.

fans meet us at the backstage door and hand us CDs of their own regional folk melodies from the Balkans, Viking music or things we’d never normally be exposed to. We bring that back and listen to it and find doors that get opened for us and other colors to paint with. So we’re constantly learning and evolving through this music.” The ethno-musical ethos runs strongly through the Blackmore’s

Night canon. Songs like “Shadow Of the Moon” serve as a crossroads between the modern and ancient, with subtle synthesizer washes bolstering finger-picked acoustic-stringed instruments amid Middle Eastern rhythms. Elsewhere, the flamenco nuances of “Spanish Nights (I Remember It Well)” are juxtaposed with the rhythms of a bodhrán, a type of Irish frame drum. Other notable cuts from last year’s release include “Coming Home,” an upbeat reel, a reworking of Rainbow’s “I Surrender” that finds Night sliding into Joe Lyn Turner’s role and a reworking of English composer Sir Edward William Elgar’s “Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1” into a song called “Land of Hope and Glory.” Delving back into centuries-old music is a seed that was planted for Blackmore when he was 10 years old and heard a classmate sing “Greensleeves,” a traditional English folk song that dates back to the 1500s and was re-recorded as “Sixteenth Century Greensleeves” by the guitarist on 1975’s Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow.

Hot Heads Unite BY STEVE MOSCO

here are dozens of varieties of peppers spicing up bland food across the globe— and with insane chili heads breeding strains, there are dozens more on the horizon. Peppers pump up flavor profiles with degrees of heat from subtle to atomic—some add moisture and color to a dish, while others add fruity, fiery flavors and some evil variations boast a heat so intense, they merely inflict pain upon the eater’s body. But pain is not always a bad thing. Chili peppers like cayenne, jalapeño and habañero contain capsaicin, which not only is the compound that delivers heat, but could also help guard against heart disease, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Medical applications aside, peppers are meant to be eaten, enjoyed and survived. On the low end of the heat spectrum, bell peppers are the “peppers” in the omnipresent “sausage and peppers,” and also are perfect for stir fry. The Italian sweet pepper is similar and is frequently called the frying pepper, as it’s sautéed in oil and added to pasta, meats, pizza or salad. The heat notches up with banana peppers,

pepperoncini, pimento and Italian long hots. And chili heads’ excitement is elevated even more with poblano, Anaheim and the most popular pepper in the country, the jalapeño, which can be filled with cheese for poppers, pickled, fried or chopped raw for a fiery taco garnish. Beyond that, there be dragons. Serrano peppers, common in Mexican and Thai cooking, are only a couple of inches long, but pack an intense wallop. Cayenne peppers are often found in the kitchen cabinet mainstay, crushed red pepper, as well as the hot sauce favorite, Frank’s Red Hot. Ground cayenne is perhaps the most popular of the medicinal peppers, with cayenne pepper tea curing an array of ailments. In terms of pure heat, top honors among common peppers go to scotch bonnet and habañero peppers. Part of the same family, these peppers are ubiquitous on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula and in the Caribbean and are frequently used in the most blazingly hot condiments. For those who brave the heat, fruity flavors await.

Nancy Burpee has overcome impossible challenges all her life. The latest was lung cancer.

Nancy Burpee has been swimming competitively all her life. Not only against other elite swimmers, but also against a rare connective tissue disease. Then she faced her greatest challenge: lung cancer. Nancy was told she faced a choice: either major invasive surgery or wait and see if the tumor would shrink. Instead, she turned to NYU Winthrop Hospital and Dr. Laurence Spier, one of the country’s top robotic lung surgeons. Dr. Spier not only removed the tumor without removing the entire lung, he was able to “tease” her lung free from the chest wall. Nancy was amazed at the improvement in her breathing and stamina. In just three weeks, she was back in the pool, swimming faster than she had in years. Thanks to NYU Winthrop, Nancy is still competing. And in all the ways that count, she remains undefeated.

Five Smart Ways To Protect Y BY SCOTT RELF EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

CHAT

The Facebook data breach opened a Pandora’s box of concerns for social media consumers. The company estimated that data firm Cambridge Analytica may have had information on about 87 million Facebook users without their knowledge. In testimony before the U.S. Senate, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg promised to do more to protect the privacy of users’ data. But according to studies by the Pew Research Center, people haven’t had much faith in social media firms’ capacity to do just that. A Pew survey last year found that only 9 percent of social media users were “very confident” that companies would protect their data. About half were “not at all” or “not too confident” their data were in safe hands. With so many people concerned about what private data is shared by social media sites and with whom, the CEO of a social media app says users need to do more to protect their information and be aware of how their data can be used. In the past 60 days there has been a profound awakening by the average social media user about data privacy and trust regarding social media companies. All of the other social media companies are equally as guilty as Facebook— Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, Google. These companies are betraying their users’ trust by selling them out, and all of this with virtually no regulations or accountability to anyone. Ideally, social media users should choose what they feed into their mind all day long. Don’t give up control of your news feed to companies and advertisers that harvest your data for their benefit.

Here is how social media users can better protect their data:

Know the people you friend

Don’t accept friend or follow requests from people you don’t know, even if it appears you have friends in common. They could be fake accounts from cybercriminals, bots or just bad people. And the more people you’re connected to, the harder it is to control what happens to the information you post.

Skip the quizzes

Those IQ or personality tests you find on social media may take you to unsecure sites, making you vulnerable to identity theft by using information found on your account as well as the answers you provide to the quiz.

(Photo source: www.pikmobile.com)

Select a private profile for maximum control

Use strong passwords and don’t share them

Consider your needs. If you use social media mainly to keep in touch with friends, you may not need a widely open setting. If you use social media for work purposes, consider two accounts: a private personal account as well as a more public business one.

Passwords should be memorable only to the user and kept to themselves. Likewise, lock your phone with a pin or pattern, so that if you do lose it, whoever finds it doesn’t have easy access to your entire online life.

In The Know: Fathers Raising Daughters In Today’s World BY SHERI ENGLER

fishing together. Take her to see planes at air shows, teach her photography and go birdwatching with her. It matters to spend quality time with her, because it makes her feel she is worth her dad’s time. And it doesn’t have to stop in childhood. What could you be teaching your adult daughter?

EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

It wasn’t that long ago when a father’s job was to attend his daughter’s pretend tea parties and make her a pretty dollhouse. But today’s fathers must navigate a new world and avoid gender specific roles when it comes to raising their little girls to be strong women. “The fathers of today’s girls need to be engaged, creative and flexible,” said Sheri D. Engler, author of The Pearls of Wisdom: A Fairy Tale Guide to Life’s Magic Secrets for All Ages. All proceeds of the book go to the Angel Whispers Foundation, which was organized to empower young females and Engler says that today’s dads should encourage girls at every opportunity. “Women are breaking down many barriers, but there is still a lot of work to be done,” she said. “Today’s fathers play a critical role in their daughter’s self-image and can be instrumental in encouraging them to challenge the status quo.” Engler offers the following tips for fathers who want to raise their daughters to be strong, independent women:

Treat women with respect Your daughter is watching how you treat women, and it will have a lifelong impact on her in ways you can’t imagine. You must be cognizant of your attitude and behavior around women at all times. This includes not saying negative things about her mother if you are divorced. See yourself as a role model of the kind of man you would want your daughter to marry one day, because that frequently influences how women choose their partners.

Give her compliments about things other than her beauty It is OK to tell your daughter she’s pretty, but that should not be the only compliment you give her. Compliment her intelligence, her resourcefulness, her imagination, her many skills, her hard work and her strength. Honestly tell her the unique things you love about her, the things that make her a good and special person.

Teach her the magic of self-confidence Teach her about the power that comes from believing in herself and believing she can achieve greatness in the world, while understanding that there are many girls who simply want to be a “mommy” like their own, which is the most important job in the world. In this case, they may

Let her get gritty like the boys Teach her how to play sports from early on. This fosters tremendous social confidence as well as body confidence. Or just let her play in the mud and get dirty if that is what she wants to do. Girls don’t always have to be clean and pretty and while some may prefer tea parties to tee ball, let her have the option to experience both for herself.

‘‘

Introduce her to books with female heroes

Women are breaking down many barriers, but there is still a lot of work to be done.

fear failing their father’s expectations of greatness. There is a critical difference between encouragement to be who they are and pressure to be who they aren’t.

Teach her about what has traditionally been ‘guy stuff’ Teach her self-reliance, such as routine car maintenance, or mechanics in general. Teach her how to use tools while building a treehouse. Go

There are plenty of books to choose from, so when reading to her let her enjoy a variety of adventures including books with strong female leaders like The Pearls of Wisdom or other books that were written to empower girls. This will send the message that you believe in her. Or perhaps help her write a story of her own imagining herself as the hero or lead character. If nothing else this will give you a valuable view of how she sees herself so you know what’s going on with her.

Share music with her Play your favorite music and tell her why you like it and let her do the same. Take her to concerts. If she wants to play an instrument, help her learn how. Music, and the arts in general, can be very bonding experiences. “The most important change for today’s fathers is that they shouldn’t box girls in or out of anything just because they are a girl,” said Engler. “Fathers who respect the women in their lives have a better chance of raising daughters who feel deserving of respect themselves. Confidence, self-respect and family support will help them face any challenges that may come their way.” Sheri Engler is the author and illustrator of The Pearls of Wisdom: A Fairy Tale Guide to Life’s Magic Secrets for All Ages (www. ThePearlsOfWisdomBook.com). She is an experienced mentor, medium and metaphysicist with a background in psychology, counseling and research. She received a BA in Clinical Psychology at San Francisco State University.

Maintaining A Healthy Liver Summer is here and the time is right for thinking about getting and staying healthy. It is a time to be outdoors, to exercise and to eat right. Now is the time to prepare ourselves for the upcoming change in seasons when diets change, exercise slows down and we hope to be able to fit into our clothes by winter. Summer is a time of concern for our livers. How can we keep our livers healthy? For most of the population, this is easy, as most do not have any underlying chronic liver problems. The key to a healthy liver is a healthy diet. What is a considered a healthy diet? I would argue that a good healthy diet requires common sense. Eating lots of fruits and vegetables, minimizing fatty foods, drinking plenty of water and watching alcohol intake can keep a liver healthy. This does not mean that anything is off limits. The common sense approach means that people have to use their brains when deciding upon what to eat and knowing when you have had enough. In general, a good healthy, heart friendly diet is good for the liver. This means concentrating on a diet that is low in fat and cholesterol and minimizes carbohydrates. I am

a true believer in portion control. My recommended diet is to eat what you like, within reason, eat slowly, do not let yourself become ravenous and drink plenty of non-caloric liquids during the day. That’s right, sodas are out, even diet ones! Water is truly the best fluid. Many people ask about all these health food store products that fall under the category of “liver cleanser?” I have never truly understood what that means from a physiologic standpoint, as the liver cannot be cleansed. To sum up my thoughts on “liver cleansers,” nonsense. What can people with liver disease do to stay healthy? The answer is also simple. Diet and exercise are the keys to health. Since the most common liver conditions is fatty liver, whether

from poor eating habits, obesity, diabetes or alcohol, and the incidence of complications of this condition are on the rise, weight loss, following a good diet and exercise may prevent disease progression and lead to disease regression. The floodgates of liver related complications are opening as our population keeps growing (around the waist) and the incidence of diabetes, especially amongst our youth, it rising exponentially. Perhaps with an emphasis on healthy living we can prevent disease. What can people with liver diseases other than fatty liver do to help their livers? The answer again comes down to diet and exercise. In addition, alcohol should be taken judiciously and in limited quantities. A good healthy heart diet will also help the liver, minus the two glasses of red

wine per night recommended by cardiologists. Avoidance of health food store products and herbal products may also help prevent disease exacerbation. Although 99% of these products are safe, some may still cause problems. Before someone with liver disease starts one of these products, they should make sure that they have discussed it with their doctor. Most liver disease in the United States can be prevented. Aside from specific liver diseases with specific therapies such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and primary biliary cholangitis, following a healthy diet, exercising, minimizing alcohol intake and using common sense will keep the liver healthy and may help prevent disease progression in livers affected by chronic disease.

Gray Divorce

Collaborative divorce may be the best option when older couples part ways BY KIM CIESINSKI SPECIALSECTIONS@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

It is always heartwarming to see stories about an elderly couple that has been married for nearly their entire lifetimes. The late former First Lady Barbara Bush was married to her husband for more than 70 years. But the reality of today is that “Gray Divorce,” among couples ages 50 and up, is on the rise. Over the last 20 years, the number of these gray divorces has doubled—and it is consistent even among couples where one or both of the spouses are on a second, or third, marriage. Children are likely to be grown and on their own, so issues of custody, parenting time schedules and child support will probably not exist. However, gray divorce brings its own unique set of complex challenges which are seen from a different perspective than with younger couples—that of separating partners much closer to, if not already in, their retirement years. This is where the Collaborative Divorce approach can help. A collaborative approach to matters including

Social Security, income from 401ks and IRAs, pensions and health and life insurance plans is a far better process to address the distinct and personalized needs of older divorcing couples than the cookie-cutter formulas of divorce litigation. Simply put, when dissolving a long term marriage, one size does not fit all. Collaborative divorce begins with an examination and full understanding of the financial picture. In the case of older couples this is more likely to involve a fully paid off home, numerous investments, retirement plans, pensions and other

assets accumulated over decades. In collaborative divorce, an agreed-upon, impartial financial planner is brought in to work around the table with both spouses and their attorneys to develop a realistic and sustainable distribution. Comprehensive financial planning will also assist both parties in adjusting to a new economic structure once the divorce agreement is finalized. For example, if this is a couple that had been married for

decades, the wife may not have ever been aware of or handled the family finances. Careful planning is needed to insure that she not only understands the financial possibilities, but that the correct course is chosen to address her particular needs. Psychological support is also provided, again by an impartial mutually agreed-upon mental health professional, as there are numerous emotional issues which can arise and often serve to derail progress. Perhaps one partner may not have ever envisioned living without the other, and gray divorce can have as much of an emotional impact as the death of a spouse. Naturally, collaborative divorce may not work for every older divorcing couple, but often times can be a quicker, less expensive, less stressful and more equitable method for many. Learn more about whether collaborative divorce is right for you contacting Kim Ciesinski at KMC@ ADRLawNY.com. —Kim Ciesinski is an attorney with ADR Law

SENIOR LIFE Q&A

Home Health Advocate

Amy Recco reveals Friends for Life’s commitment to care BY STEVE MOSCO

SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Amy Recco and her husband Michael founded Friends for Life in 2010 in their hometown of Massapequa Park with a mission to provide home care that encourages independence and promotes well being and support to all of their clients’ needs.

How did you get into the home health care business? Was this something you were always passionate about?

Together, my husband and I have more than 30 years of experience in the home care industry. Between my husband’s longtime knowledge from working in the field, along with my passion to help those in need, we decided to team up and create our business we now call

Friends for Life Home Care. We have been growing our business for almost a decade and I become more and more passionate each day. I believe in what we do and that’s why we do it so well.

Q A

What services does Friends For Life provide?

Friends for Life provides a number of services and we’re continuously expanding what we offer when we see there is a need. We are most well-known for providing basic home care services such as hourly and live-in companions, as well as long-term senior care planning. We offer Medicaid consulting on site. We also provide hospice care and senior advocacy. If we cannot directly provide you with our services, you are still not alone. We provide multiple referrals and nursing home/assisted living placements. Lastly, we understand the struggles and stress of caring for loved ones, so we provide free caregiver support groups for families that need to talk through their situations and

share resources and support.

What are some ways that Friends For Life provides the best care possible for patients?

Our commitment to excellence provides our clients and their families with the assurance of safe, reliable and affordable services. Each client’s situation is different and we are sure to suggest the best possible solutions and services to meet their individual needs. We want to see our clients thrive and give their families the peace of mind they deserve. We make sure our clients are comfortable with their companions and are respectful of their wishes within their own home.

Q A

What is the most important aspect of home health care?

There are two key elements in home health care. I can sum it up in two words: “Home” and “Care.” To me, these are the two reasons why home care has become so very important in our society. Through my years of experience, seniors like to stay in the comfort and safety of their own environment. It’s all about keeping independence and maintaining the same lifestyle in their own familiar surroundings, just with some added help. Staying home means being near family and friends and it gives seniors the sense of freedom and confidence that they deserve.

Hours: Mon to Sat 7:00am to 6:00pm

188204 C

I live and work in such a wonderful community and felt so honored to receive recognition for my hard work. I will say I was shocked, but extremely proud! However, the true reward is having the opportunity to help people every day.

What are some of the struggles faced by families of patients? How does Friends For Life address those struggles?

The hardest thing is trying to help my clients while respecting their right to make choices for themselves. For this, I became an advocate. Additionally, I see many families that are overwhelmed and I like to be not just a place to provide companions, but options, and answers. I help anyone who needs help with elder care, planning, anything necessary to get them the help they need, no matter what it takes.

If someone needs help with Friends For Life, how can they reach out? Is there a consultation process?

We have two offices with plenty of people on staff that can help. We welcome anyone to come into our office to sit-down and talk with us, so we can figure out a plan that suits you and your loved one’s needs best. We become very vested in the needs and wants of our clients and often times start to build close relationships and become “friends for life.” We are always available 24/7 and we offer same day emergency services for those that are in crisis-mode.

What are some of your hobbies?

Although I am a self-proclaimed workaholic, I do enjoy spending as much time with my family as possible. My kids are the light of my life and my elderly mother, who lives with me, is my best friend. I am an event planner and love hosting parties and get-togethers. When I have any free time, you can find me relaxing with my two dogs, three cats (and a fish) or having fun in Montauk.

Q A

Who has had the biggest influence on your life? How so?

There have been many people that have impacted my life, but my dad was my biggest inspiration. I am a better person for being raised by such a wonderful man. My dad was such a hardworking and caring person and was ultimately my backbone. I am living out my dream and making him proud.

Brain Mapping Could Aid Alzheimer’s Treatment BY JEFFREY LOWENKRON

SPECIALSECTIONS@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Researchers have been using new brain-mapping technology that is trying to peel back the secrets of the brain. The goal: Make world-changing discoveries about how our minds work that could lead to earlier detection of Alzheimer’s and other brain diseases. The research’s success could allow physicians to start treatments earlier than ever and perhaps delay the onset of this memory-robbing condition that haunts the older population. As you look at people as they grow older, from a health perspective they are probably more afraid of losing their memory than they are of getting cancer. There is no cure for Alzheimer’s. Part of the problem in finding one: For all the world’s scientific and medical advances, there is still a lot we don’t know about the brain. What happens with the electrical activity of the brain as it ages? What’s normal and what’s abnormal? No one really knows. With this trailblazing research that is happening in Florida’s The Villages, we may be drawing closer to finding out.

About 1,000 residents of The Villages volunteered to participate in the brainhealth research that’s being conducted in partnership with faculty from the University of South Florida and an Israeli company called ElMindA that originally developed the sophisticated BNA (Brain Network Activation) technology for use in concussion treatment with young people. All of the partners believe that the technology holds the potential to revolutionize the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of brain-related disorders. Here’s how it works: An electrode monitoring device that resembles a hair net is placed on the volunteer’s head. The volunteer is then given a series of computer tasks to perform during an EEG recording. From there, a 3D representation can be created to show what the brain looked like when the volunteer was responding to the tasks. The goal is to develop a baseline of what a healthy brain looks like. ElMindA says the results can give physicians snapshot mapping of brain-network function in comparison to a healthy/ normative group; the ability to compare multiple tests over time and objective information to assist with

better-informed medical decisions. The BNA technology also has been used in assessing brain damage caused by concussions, especially sports-related concussions, and it’s hoped it will be effective with other brain disorders, such as depression and dementia. For the Alzheimer’s study, there’s probably not a better place in the country than The Villages because no where else can you find a community this large that’s made up mostly of people the right age for the study. The community has a research board that gave the go-ahead and the project began in July 2017. The goal was to recruit 1,100 volunteers, and so far about 1,000 people between the ages of 55 and 84 signed on to help out. The research participants will be monitored several times over the course of the study, which will go on for about another year. Most likely, the residents who volunteered to participate will never gain any personal benefit from the research

results. But the generations who follow them might, which is enough to make it worthwhile to them. Dr. Jeffrey Lowenkron is the Chief Medical Officer of The Villages Health in the Villages, a retirement community in Florida.

Four Common Retirement Mistakes And How To Avoid Them BY JADON NEWMAN

from them only what you need to meet your pre-determined budget. Be sure you calculate your Social Security payment and any required minimum distributions so you don’t incur additional tax liability.

SPECIALSECTIONS@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Constructing a smart retirement income plan isn’t easy. Throughout the working years there are many factors to consider, such as salary, expenses— monthly and unforeseen—debt and college for the kids, just to name a few. All of those can affect a person’s ability to, first, devise a consistent plan for their retirement goals, and secondly, accumulate the necessary capital to provide ample retirement income. Meanwhile, costly mistakes can be made that will have implications down the road. A retirement strategy has many moving parts, and each can have a significant impact on the others. Many people often make the same mistakes. There are ways to avoid them, and much of it is about knowledge. There’s more you need to know about retirement today than you did 20 or 30 years ago. It starts with knowing what lifestyle you want to achieve in retirement and the options that will both protect you and enhance what should be the best years of your life.

Having the wrong kind of annuity

‘‘

Putting your entire nest egg in one basket could be disastrous.

’’

–Jadon Newsman

Leaving your nest egg vulnerable to big market drops

Putting your entire nest egg in one basket could be disastrous. Having an excessive amount of market risk in your portfolio, you could find yourself suffering a loss that you won’t have time to recover from before you retire. With stocks having surged for an extended period, beware the bear market. It would be wise to purge some risk from your portfolio in favor of more predictable methods of capital growth and income, such as annuities, life insurance policies, or

alternative investments like private lending and real estate.

Investing like you’re still young

Earlier in their working careers, people often have a higher risk tolerance. But approaching retirement, your investment strategy should shift toward preserving capital. Phase out those investments that are subject to wider fluctuations. The gradual move away from riskier investments should begin as you enter your mid- to late 40s.

Not satisfying basic income needs

It has become less realistic for a 401k coupled with Social Security to provide the regular income needed for retirement. It’s important to estimate what yearly expenses will be in retirement and diversify accordingly. Use your investments, insurance policies or retirement accounts to provide multiple income streams. This allows you to draw

A crucial component of a comfortable retirement is reliable income, and a common way to achieve that is by using annuities. Unfortunately, some retirees find themselves with an annuity that doesn’t fit their needs. A fixed annuity pays out a guaranteed rate of return, providing less risk compared to variable annuities, but the tradeoff is you get a more modest return. Sometimes a fixed index annuity (FIA) is the best bet. These allow you to protect your principal by shifting the risk to the insurance company selling you the annuity. There are caps on your potential returns, but FIAs are more reliable because they mitigate risk. With retirement planning, the end goal should be not only to ensure you’ll have enough income to satisfy your retirement budget, but also to provide you with enough to truly enjoy your retirement. Because life goals and the economic climate are subject to change, you need to consult with your financial adviser annually to optimize your strategy.

Grin And Wear It

Local prosthodontist keeps smiles healthy at any age BY JENNIFER FAUCI JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

A smile is universal. One of the first things people notice when others smile is their teeth. But keeping your chompers pearly white isn’t enough; it is most important to keep them healthy. Donna Gentile, DDS, knows all about oral hygiene and as a prosthodontist, she specializes in the replacement of missing or damaged teeth. “Simply speaking, prosthodontics pertains to the diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation and maintenance of the oral function, comfort, appearance and health of patients with clinical conditions associated with missing or deficient teeth and/or oral and maxillofacial tissues,” said Gentile, adding that to accomplish optimal care she utilizes many familiar facets of dentistry like crowns, bridges, implants, dentures. “It is utilized in a more comprehensive approach than regular general dentistry.” After receiving her bachelor’s degree in science from Stony Brook University, Gentile spent another four years at Stony

Brook School of Dental Medicine, earning her doctorate in dental surgery. From there, she completed a general practice residency at Long Island Jewish

Medical Center in New Hyde Park and completed an additional three year post graduate education program specializing in prosthodontics at New York

Hospital Queens. “Upon graduation, I obtained an attending position at Peninsula Hospital Medical Center in Far Rockaway,” she said of the hospital, which has since closed, “I currently hold attending positions at Stony Brook School of Dental Medicine and Interfaith Medical Center in Crown Heights Brooklyn.” Gentile is associated with several private dental practices in Nassau and Suffolk County. A Massapequa native, Gentile decided to build her business close to home, opening her own private practice in her hometown community. “I am lucky to be located in an area that is close to many other medical and professional offices and I enjoy the sense of community that exists amongst my neighbors,” said Gentile, who enjoys meeting residents and prospective new patients at town outings and festivals. “This year I have the great honor of sponsoring the Massapequa High School Varsity football team. I hope they have a great season.”

Donna Gentile, DDS, (second from left) and her team If a patient is seeking care from Gentile, chances are they have already suffered from periodontal disease, chronic tooth decay or have experienced some sort of dental trauma. For healthy dental care, she recommends the basics such as brushing and flossing regularly, avoiding sugary drinks and not smoking to prevent tooth decay. Gentile also highly emphasizes that regular visits to the dentist for a checkup and professional cleanings are a must for good oral

hygiene. “Address harmful habits like tooth grinding and clenching early before extensive irreversible damage sets in. If you end up losing some or all of your teeth, replace them,” she said, noting that people who try to suffice with limited oral function has negative effects on their overall health. “The longer a person waits for tooth replacement, the more difficult the task becomes and less optimal the outcome becomes.”

Many patients prefer Gentile Dental Care not only because of the specialization to prosthodontics, but because the practice participates in many insurance plans, which is crucial for elder patients. “People like the way they are treated here,” said Gentile of taking the best care of her patients. “My staff and I go above and beyond to make patients feel comfortable in what is typically an uncomfortable environment.” Gentile Dental Care is located at 89 Grand Ave., Massapequa.

packages can be delivered to a vehicle when it’s parked in a publicly accessible area, such as on the street in front of an apartment building, at a workplace surface parking lot or in a home driveway. “At Amazon, we are always working

to make our customers’ lives easier and starting today, we’re excited to bring in-car delivery to Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac owners,” said Peter Larsen, vice president of delivery technology, Amazon. “Prime members now have another way to

Denali: Professional-Grade Luxury BY CHRISTY HINKO

CHINKO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Since the late 1990s, the GMC Denali line of trucks has reigned supreme in the car world, first appearing in a version of the GMC Yukon. Car buyers have consistently ensured that the Denali has retained its spot at the top. “Denali has maintained its popularity since 1999,” said GMC Showroom Manager, Rocky Dentici of King O’Rourke in Smithtown. “When people think of the Denali line, they think: precision, power, durability, professional-grade.” Dentici said the quality and engineering make Denali trucks appealing. “Its style and the ride doesn’t even compare to other brands’ models,” he added. His favorite GMC Denali is a current model pickup truck, the 2018 Sierra Denali Ultimate. “It’s got a bigger engine, 22-inch wheels, power side steps.” While not a Denali, Dentici shared his first memory of driving a GMC truck, “When I was 18 years old, I remember driving my grandfather’s 1960 GMC C-10

(Chevrolet); it was blue.” He recalled that was also the oldest GMC he had ever driven. When we think of who drives a big, rugged Americanmade truck, we are quick to

think tradesman, farmers, the blue-collar guy, but not so said Dentici. So who drives that Denali truck, named after the nation’s tallest mountain (also known as Mt. McKinley in Alaska)? “Denali is a popular truck on Long Island; people really love the Denali,” he said. “There is such a bigger variety of Denali owners, more and more each year.” King O’Rourke, one of the leading Buick dealership on Long Island, is located at 756 Smithtown Bypass in Smithtown.

WORD FIND

Holiday Mathis Holiday Mathis Mathis HOROSCOPES ByByByHoliday

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direction but always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 32 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Maybe people are not being totally themselves around you this week -- or at least not their most comfortable selves -- but that’s probably a good thing. It means they care enough to bring, or find, the very best version. These efforts will cause remarkable and positive change. You will receive some of the credit.

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND Travel by FIND Bus WORD

Letters 32 Solution: This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direction but always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 32 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Compassion is the characteristic that separates beauty from ugliness, grace from pain. When you claim compassion this week, your ego won’t like it at first. Stick with compassion and it will strengthen inside you. Eventually your ego will heed the dominant flow of your life, stepping aside to let love rule.

Travel by Bus Solution: 32 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You can bring light to the world, but you’ll have to be smart and patient about how you do it. Strongly opinionated individuals will present their beliefs as incontrovertible fact. Arguing with them is pointless. They have too much to gain from remaining ignorant. But there is a way to prevail. Don’t lose hope. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Do you need to travel to exotic spiritual locations in order to evolve? Of course not. Awareness isn’t something that happens outside of your regular life; rather, it’s a manner of living no matter where you are or what you’re doing. This week you will grow in awareness and make an astute and life-changing observation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are certain aspects of life that one would be very unwise to try and figure out through methods of contrast. Once you start comparing, it will be impossible to stop. The variables will keep changing, and so will the rules. Adopt a policy of keeping your eyes on your own “paper” and it will all get sorted out. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You work to achieve a certain goal, and it’s possible that you will have it in hand by the end of the week. If this is the case, it’s a bonus. Because the real benefit is not having the result; it’s the expansion of your spirit that will occur as you make the choices, efforts and sacrifices necessary to achieve it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your powers of visualization are so keen now that, if you try, you will be able to finally see and feel, in vivid detail, a particular result that you’ve long desired. Once you bring this to life in your mind, having lived it there, you’ll understand the choices you need to make to fully manifest your destiny. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Greatness is born out of a balance of support and adversity. Too much coddling of others isn’t good for your soul, but it’s even worse for theirs, as it robs them of the chance to learn who they are through doing what they need to do to thrive in this world. Strive this week to balance your care with tough love. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You used to think the world was full of so many possibilities that it was difficult to make certain choices. This week you will notice that there are actually very few legitimate options, and in fact there may be only one that really makes sense. What a comfort! Now it will be so much easier to move forward. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Not sure what to do? Then simply don’t. Time will be on your side if you let it be. Inaction will require an amount of restraint that is well within your comfort zone. All you have to do is make the conscious decision to busy yourself with other things while you let time perform its transformational magic.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Your heart feels lighter; your body, more active; your mood, less likely to get stuck in shadowy corners of your mind. What is your happiness secret? The question, “Is that true?” which you ask of many of your thoughts and ideas. So little can be unequivocally proven that logically it is best to go with the version of the story that keeps you moving forward and up. You are the recipient of inexhaustible love. You are the keeper of keys that hold the bonds together. You get to choose the leader. COPYRIGHT 2018 CREATORS.COM

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll find yourself in a leap-of-faith situation, and you may not exactly have the faith you need to make the leap. That’s understandable: There’s a lot that will go into forming faith. You’re not a person who can believe in just anything! You’ll test out theories to whatever degree you can and then make an educated guess.

DINING

A Foodie In Wonderland Eat Me, Drink Me food truck returns to annual East End derby BY JENNIFER FAUCI

Culinary creative of Eat Me, Drink Me food truck owner Michelle Panciarello

JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

ood, fun and festivities will once again draw crowds to Bridgehampton this summer. The seventh annual Food Truck Derby returns and foodies will be flocking to a roundup of the best gourmet eats from across the island. Edible East End’s delicious day of food trucks is back on Aug. 10 and while guests can take a bite out of more than a dozen different options, a tried and true fan favorite—Eat Me, Drink Me— will be beckoning guests to the window yet again. Owner Michelle Panciarello was inspired by the whimsical world of Alice in Wonderland when naming and creating her food truck, Eat Me, Drink Me. She has two trucks, both decorated with characters and motifs from Lewis Carroll’s beloved tale, which beckons the curious eater to taste her offerings. “Alice in Wonderland is my favorite and it seemed like the natural approach I would take,” said Panciarello, whose trucks are decorated with the iconic White Rabbit and the Mad Hatter, which debuted last year. “On the big truck we have gluten-free fryers and vegan options, I try to make limitations because so many people have food allergies and I want them to enjoy my food too.” On the smaller truck, Panciarello offers anything from fresh beignets and fish tacos to chicken fingers and burgers. Eat Me, Drink Me specializes

Poutine will be on the menu this year

in American Bistro style cuisine, but the mainstay item has always been poutine. “We started off with poutine because it wasn’t anywhere on the island. My mom is French Canadian and Swiss, my dad is Italian so the food we offer is a mix up of them,” she said of her heritage. “As long as it’s fresh and not out of a freezer I’ll cook it. We try to use locally sourced

ingredients when we can.” With a home base out of Bay Shore, Panciarello said she first became inspired to open a food truck after the first annual Food Truck Derby. She originally went as a spectator and like anyone else, enjoyed sampling food and getting to know eateries from Long Island. She left that day wanting to change career paths and set a plan in motion to be at the derby the following year as a vendor. “This is our sixth season and derby with the food truck,” said Panciarello, who does not have any formal training with the exception of cake sculpting and cooking in a restaurant in Sayville. “I love to learn and I learn as I go.” With burgers and fries as her forte, Panciarello is proud to offer grass-fed beef and has a baker and cheese monger, which allows Eat Me, Drink Me to supply top-of-the-line food to customers. Her favorite burger to whip up is the bleu cheese burger with thick cut bacon and arugula. For this year’s derby, Eat Me, Drink Me will be serving poutine and black truffle fries. Panciarello said those are the easiest dishes to get out the window at a busy event and those who have tasted her food won’t be complaining. “We bring about 400 pounds of potatoes for the event, 30 to 40 pounds of cheese curd and we make the gravy on site, which comes to about two to three gallons of gravy,” she said. “We’ll also have 8 ounces of truffle oil, 4 ounces of truffle salt and a

pound of Moliterno black truffle cheese.” Eat Me, Drink Me focuses on catering but does attend several events, including St. James Summer Nights, Alive After Five, events at Suffolk County Farm and Greenport Maritime. They will also set up shop at the Tanger Deer Park food derby in October. No matter what guests order, Panciarello is certain that their bellies will be full and happy. “We genuinely care about the food we are putting out the window and we don’t just want to see smiles; we want you to be happy,” she said. “People can tell in our food that love and hard work went into creating it.” The Food Truck Derby will take place on Friday, Aug. 10 from 4 to 7 p.m. at Hayground School, 151 Mitchell Lane in Bridgehampton, NY. For tickets, a list of vendors and more information, visit www. eventbrite.com/e/tickets-43128105324. To learn more about Eat Me, Drink Me, visit www.eatmedrinkmetruck.com.

ENTERTAINMENT

Summer Amusement

BY CHRISTOPHER BIRSNER

CBIRSNER@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

hile there are plenty of places out there that will bring kids joy during the summer, there’s nothing that will light up kids’ eyes like telling them they are going to an amusement park, which has endless options of entertainment. From the fun rides to delicious treats, there’s so much for kids (and adults) to enjoy. Here are a few of the best amusement parks to go to in the Northeast.

The Great Escape 1172 State Rt. 9, Queensbury, NY 12804

Lake Compounce

186 Enterprise Dr., Bristol, CT 06010 It’s a family theme park right on the edge of the lake. The park is filled with various thrill and gentle rides, with its most famous being the 91-year old roller coaster “The Wildcat.” It has a show for kids called “Daniel Tiger’s Grr-ific Day,” in which the mascots at the park tell a story and teach lessons. There is even a water park right on the beach of the lake that includes a wave pool and water slides.

Santa’s Village

528 Presidential Highway, Jefferson, NH 03583 Who doesn’t love the idea of Christmas in July? Santa’s Village is open May through December and includes a variety of attractions and kids rides, including bumper cars, a Ferris wheel, and “The Great Humbug Adventure.” They even have a water park to fit right in with the summer while still in the holiday spirit. There are also special performances from various winter-themed characters.

Splish Splash

2549 Splish Splash Dr., Calverton, NY 11933 If you are looking for an exclusive water park that is right in the area, look no further than Splish Splash.

187832 C

Originally known as “Storytown” before being bought by Six Flags, this park specializes in general thrill rides instead of just roller coasters, with some of its

best rides including “The Sasquatch” freefall and “The Condor” spinning sky-ride. In addition, the park has two water parks on its property: An outdoor park known as “Splashwater Kingdom” and an indoor water park, “White Water Bay,” which is inside its lodge, across the street from the main park.

Mountain Creek Water Park 200 Rt. 94, Vernon, NJ 07462

This water park is unique because it is on the grounds of a ski resort in the middle of the woods in New Jersey. While most amusement parks would tear down the forest obstructing it, Mountain Creek has its rides built to blend in with the nature around the area. The park even has a white water rafting ride called “Colorado River,” which takes you through 1,600 feet of scattered waterfalls.

We’re Halfway There: MLB At Mid-Season BY CHRISTOPHER BIRSNER

The second half of the Yankees’ season is so bright, Aaron Boone’s gotta wear shades.

CBIRSNER@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

ll-Star Week is upon Major League Baseball and while all eyes are on the pros gathering in D.C., there’s plenty of work to do ahead for both teams in the Big Apple. While the Mets are looking at a lost season and decisions on personnel, the Yankees are on track to being a contender in October. At the halfway point, it’s time to look back at the 2018 season thus far and what these teams have to look forward to as the year winds down.

New York Mets (39-55) What seemed like a perfect start to the season, going 11-1 and holding the best record in the MLB through 12 games, fell apart at the seams as the Mets have since gone 28-54. Losing over double the games they are winning, Mickey Calloway’s team is currently sitting among the worst in all statistical categories. Despite the efforts of Brandon Nimmo and Asdrubal Cabrera to try to keep this team afloat with their batting, the rest of the team has held them down. The team sits with an overall average of .228, which is the second-worst in the MLB. Pitcher Jacob deGrom has been one of the few highlights of the season as he currently leads all of baseball with a 1.68 ERA, with Chris Sale in second with a 2.23. He is the team’s sole All-Star representative and, in a tumultuous season, he’s given Mets fans a reason to watch the team every so often. With that said, the deGrom era in New York may be coming to an end as the trade deadline nears and the team will be in all-out sell mode. Along with their 2018 All-Star, pitchers Noah Syndergaard, Zack Wheeler, and Steven Matz will all be considered candidates to be traded prior to July 31. With general manager Sandy Alderson on medical leave, it’ll be up to the three-man wrecking crew of Omar Minaya, J.P. Ricciardi, and John Ricco to decide which players they want to part ways with, and which ones they want to

bring deeper into the murky waters of the Mets’ future.

New York Yankees (62-33) While the Mets are struggling, the Yankees are thriving under new manager Aaron Boone, currently standing as a serious threat to make the World Series and win their 28th title. A sluggish 9-9 start to the season had many fans worried that the team was overhyped in the offseason, especially with big-time acquisition Giancarlo Stanton struggling out of the gate. However, both Stanton and the Yankees as a whole have gotten better as the season progressed and are 53-24 since they last were at .500. They currently have one of the best

pitchers in the American League in Luis Severino, who has lost only two starts out of 19 games played. Aaron Judge is having another great season with a .276 batting average, 25 home runs, and 60 RBIs. With a trip to the playoffs on the line in the next few months, the team needs to continue to improve on batting. While they have gotten much better since the start of the season, they are still not the explosive, unstoppable bunch that

was the center of hype from this offseason. The more Judge, Stanton and many of the team’s sluggers continue to improve, the more dangerous this team will be. In terms of the near future, look for them to be active at the trade deadline as buyers. The team will be on the lookout for more hitters and possibly a pitcher that could perform as close to what Severino has done. Could the Yankees end up picking up deGrom from their crosstown rival?
