The Henson Connection BY STEVE MOSCO SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

‘‘

I’ve always tried to present a positive view of the world in my work. It’s so much easier to be negative and cynical and predict doom for the world than it is to try and figure out how to make things better. We have an obligation to do the latter. —Jim Henson

’’ T

hough he died in 1990, the words of Jim Henson still resonate today—and thanks to a new exhibit at the Museum of the Moving Image, his legacy of unwavering whimsy continues to endure, delight and inspire. A collection of Henson’s fantastical characters, along with sketches, multimedia displays and a treasure trove of behind-the-scenes paraphernalia, are currently on permanent spectacle at the Astoria, Queens, museum in the Jim Henson Exhibition, made possible by a collaboration with the Henson family, The Jim Henson Legacy and The Jim Henson Company, and in cooperation with Sesame Workshop and The Muppets Studio. Among the more than 300 objects on view in the exhibition are 47 puppets including Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Rowlf, The Swedish Chef, Statler, Waldorf, Big Bird, Elmo and even a Skeksis from The Dark Crystal. But more than merely rows of puppets staring back at visitors, the exhibition tells Henson’s story— from experimental film producer,

to restless creative performer, to filmmaker to technical innovator. “At it’s core, this exhibition is a New York story,” said museum executive director Carl Goodman, referring not only to Henson’s base of operations, but also the true muse of his life’s work, diversity. “The exhibition opens at a time when the world could use a little reminder of the values embedded in and embodied by Jim Henson’s work: respect for difference, the value of collaboration, creativity, open-mindedness, unity amidst diversity and kindness—all conveyed through a potent combination of art, film and media and humor.” That combination shines through in displays dedicated to Henson’s

many well-known projects, including The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. The exhibition also dives deep into Henson’s lesser-known and earlier works like Sam and Friends and various commercials. Walking around the exhibit, it is easy to get lost in nostalgia—but the lovers and dreamers who organized the exhibit took great care to connect Henson’s spirit to today’s world. From his quotes scrawled throughout to every episode of The Muppet Show playing on a constant loop, Jim Henson is shown to be more relevant than ever. “My father and his many collaborators took great joy in making innovative television and film

productions that featured these beautiful puppets,” said Cheryl Henson, daughter of Jim Henson and president of The Jim Henson Foundation. “My family is thrilled to see this exhibit become a permanent destination here in New York and hope Jim Henson’s story will inspire future generations to celebrate their own creative hopes and dreams.” Museum of the Moving Image, 3601 35th Ave., Astoria, 718-784-0077, www.movingimage.us

Muppets And Company

im Henson’s constant creativity began in the early 1950s and continued until his untimely death in 1990. The decades in between saw Henson breath life into scores of memorable characters. Here are merely a handful of his creations. For Muppet cameos, turn to page 12A. —Steve Mosco

Fat Blue Anything Muppet This round-headed, blue rod puppet has been used in a multitude of Sesame Street skits over the years, perhaps most notably as Grover’s hapless restaurant customer Mr. Johnson.

Rowlf the Dog

Kermit the Frog Henson’s most iconic Muppet, Kermit the Frog got his start in 1955 on WRCTV’s Sam and Friend’s as a lizard-like creature created from a coat belonging to Henson’s mother and two ping pong ball halves for eyes.

Statler and Waldorf These professional hecklers joined The Muppet Show in 1975 and have been jeering from the balcony ever since. The characters were named after two New York City hotels—the Statler Hilton and the Waldorf-Astoria.

The first true “star” of the Muppets, Rowlf was introduced in a 1962 Purina Dog Chow commercial and later gained in popularity as Jimmy Dean’s sidekick on The Jimmy Dean Show.

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.

Downy Mildew Continues To Plague Long Island Gardens BY KAREN MUSGRAVE

cool night temperatures and moist conditions. Therefore, areas of deep shade, beds that receive overhead watering and densely planted beds are more highly susceptible to downy mildew.

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

Cool nights and warm daytime conditions have brought downy mildew back into the spotlight on Long Island. The disease, which affects impatiens walleriana, is spread by air and by the splashing of spores due to rain and overhead watering. “Recently a number of Long Islanders have come in with questions about their impatiens,” said Suzie Vezza, Hicks Nurseries’ green goods manager. “They mention that the leaves are yellowing and the undersides have developed a white, fuzzylike color. These are classic symptoms of downy mildew.” Hicks has not sold Impatiens walleriana for several years. Vezza said, “We continue to feel it is our responsibility to help stop the spread of downy mildew by not selling impatiens walleriana and instead offer alternative annual plants that will thrive in your garden.” If you purchased impatiens and think your plants have been affected by downy mildew, here is what you need to know:

What do I do now?

Once the disease is identified, remove all of the plants and plant debris (leaves, flowers, etc.) from soil and containers. Spores can overwinter in the debris so the removal is imperative to help limit future spread. It is not recommended to plant impatiens in that location for several years. Chemical treatments are not recommended as most are ineffective.

What is it?

Downy mildew is a devastating disease that can spread by air and by the ‘splashing’ of spores due to rain and overhead watering. It is prevalent across the country and can come from any number of places.

What are the symptoms? Early symptoms include yellowing

or stippling of the leaves, or a white, downy-like color on the underside of the leaves as well as stunting of growth. Advanced symptoms include a grayish, fuzzy substance on leaves and stems. Leaf and flower drop will eventually result in bare, leafless stems.

How did I get it?

Downy mildew is a water mold. The disease spreads most commonly when the foliage stays wet for extended periods of time and there are

What else can I plant?

There are many other flowering plants that thrive in shade and partial sun including landscape begonias, new guinea impatiens and Bounce impatiens to name a few. Visit www.HicksNurseries.com to learn more about downy mildew. Karen Musgrave is a certified nursery and landscape professional (CNLP) at Hicks Nurseries in Westbury.

ZOX’S KITCHEN | CHEF ALAN ZOX

Making Tomato Season Enjoyable Tomato season is here. But what if you grow too many? Maybe you know about the art of canning. They say it can be fun. It always made me too nervous. And what if friends and family don’t want our tomato bounty and we don’t want theirs either. Of course we know the quality of homegrown tomatoes is heads and shoulders above the grocery store varieties, which are less compelling than they look. But enough is enough. So what do we do? Here are a few of the many ways we can enjoy this wonderful vegetable—which is actually the fruit of the tomato plant—without giving or receiving from others.

Caprese Salad: Beefsteak Tomatoes, Mozzarella and Basil

This combination of delights can be prepared in minutes. You merely cut and layer the ingredients in raw form or pan fry them with salt and pepper and extra virgin olive oil (EVOO).

Roasted “Sun Dried” Tomatoes

These delicious little morsels are easy to make and fun to make with your family and friends. The preparation is great for cooking or snacking at a fraction of the cost you would pay at the market. Further you can control the amount of juice left in the tomato by drying your own instead of purchasing a bag of overly dried,

virtually scorched tomatoes. Begin with 5 pounds of plum tomatoes. Set half of them aside for later use. Wash those you are using and cut each one in half from top to bottom. Using parchment paper or spraying with vegetable oil, place each tomato half on a sheet tray. Expect to be able to dry about 24 halves. Heat your oven no more than 180200 degrees. Leave the oven door ajar with a wine cork for about 2-3 hours. Check them after one hour and every 30 minutes thereafter.

Tomato and Watermelon Gazpacho

Gazpacho is a popular, thirstquenching summer soup from Spain. By adding watermelon to tomato juice with a touch of vinegar you will create a wonderful new flavor. Combine 2 lbs of sweet summer watermelon with 2 lbs of locally harvested golden or red tomatoes, cored and chopped. Add 1 tsp red wine vinegar with sea salt and ground pepper to taste. Blend and then add 1 large, diced celery stalk and 1 large, peeled and diced carrot. Chill for 2 hours.

Watercress Salad with Fresh Heirloom Tomatoes, Roasted Beets, Canned Pears and Fresh Avocados.

First rinse the beets, carefully cut them into quarters or eights if large. Cover the slices with aluminum foil. Roast in the oven at 450 degrees. Remove from the oven to see if a knife easily pierces the vegetable after 45 minutes. Return to oven for another 15-20 minutes if not. Remove from oven, open the foil and place in a small bowl in the refrigerator. Do the same with a can of pears saving the juice in another bowl. Slice avocados, beets, pears and tomatoes ½ inch wide and place each back in its own bowl. Make a “Pear Vinaigrette” by adding 1 part pear juice to 2 parts EVOO, and ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard. Mix and taste. Add a pinch of sea salt if too sweet. Plate a small handful of watercress in the middle of each salad plate. Distribute 2-3 slices each of tomatoes, avocados, beets and pears on top of each salad. Dress the salads when dinner is ready. Contact Chef Alan at azox@ zoxkitchen.com with questions or comments.

Hi-Ho: Reverse Muppet Cameos BY STEVE MOSCO smosco@antonmediagroup.com

Whether it’s Jack Black, Steve Martin or Tina Fey, we’re used to celebrities making cameos in the many Muppet movies and especially on The Muppet Show from 1975—but sometimes the Muppets flip the script, with walk-ons in more human-centered story lines. Here are a few of the top Muppet guest appearances. Rowlf’s Vocal Range

Piano-playing dog Rowlf joined singer-songwriter John Denver to sing “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” in the 1979 TV special A Christmas Together. Rowlf also appeared with other Muppets on The Merv Griffin Show in 1983, performing his gruff renditions of “Down Memory Lane” and “You and I and George” at the piano.

Kermit Goes Shopping

The forgettable 2007 flick Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium begins with a memorable appearance by Kermit the Frog. Towards the opening of the film, Kermit appears as a customer at the Wonder Emporium toy store. He reacts to fellow shoppers who are somewhat shocked and excited to see the famous frog browsing in the toy store.

Breakfast With The Swedish Chef

As the Swedish Chef would say, “bork, bork, bork.” The preparer of all the Muppets’ meals, the Swedish Chef went national in 1988 with a commercial for his very own Croonchy Stars breakfast cereal. The TV spot took place in the usual Muppet Test Kitchen and featured the indecipherable chef preparing the essential part of any balanced breakfast.

Remember The Grandparents BY WON JUNG specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

For more than a century, Americans have celebrated national holidays to commemorate the irreplaceable roles of mothers and fathers in individual homes and society as a whole. But for all the hoopla surrounding Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, the same kind of attention has largely fallen off when it comes to Grandparents Day in the U.S. Walk into any CVS or Rite Aid during the family holiday season and for every five columns of parental holiday cards, one will find maybe a single column of grandparent holiday cards. But having given a 70-year headstart to Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, Grandparents Day is well on its way to staking its own claim on national attention as it continues to grow in popularity. Grandparents Day became an official national holiday back in 1978 when then-President Jimmy Carter signed a statute proclaiming a holiday “to honor grandparents, to give

grandparents an opportunity to show love for their children’s children and to help children become aware of strength, information and guidance older people can offer.” Now, almost 40 years later, the first Sunday following Labor Day is dedicated to grandparents. Of course, the simplest, yet still meaningful, way for children to celebrate Grandparents Day is to spend time with their loved ones. But perhaps this year a playing of “A Song for Grandma and Grandpa”, the official song of the holiday in America, the purchase of forget-me-nots, the official flower of the holiday, or the post of a selfie with the hashtag #TakeAGrandie may seem appropriate. Grandparents Day is also a great opportunity for intergenerational exchange. Take this day to finally teach grandparents how to use that iPad they got a couple years back or ask them about how life was different when they were growing up. These connections can help facilitate unprecedented mutual understanding. Whatever your choice may be, there are plenty of ways to celebrate grandparents. However, this national holiday is not strictly limited to biological grandparental ties. For those whose grandparents have passed, Grandparents Day can also serve as a day of appreciation for other grandparental figures in their life. Don’t limit the day to biological family but also spend the day doing something grand for older adults in the community. As much as Grandparents Day is a celebration and moment of appreciation for grandparents, it is also a day for the older community to continue its neverending service of providing wisdom and advice to the next generations. This holiday is a day for all people, young and old, to come together and build a stronger, more united community. Grandparents Day will be on Sept. 10 this year. Visit www. grandparentsday.org for more tips and ideas.

LIFE IS A JOURNEY. Embrace every day because every day counts.

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

The Nassau County Office for the Aging recently announced Dolores Genovese as the county’s 2017 Senior Citizen “Woman of the Year” and Richard Begandy as the “Man of the Year”. Genovese has been volunteering for more than 40 years with many organizations. She and Anthony, her husband of 62 years, have volunteered at the soup kitchen in Freeport for 19 years. She has partnered with the Massapequa School District and Yes Community Counseling Center to identify children and families who have struggled financially and emotionally to provide assistance. She is also involved in the Women’s Club of Massapequa, the Italian Club, and the Retired Teacher’s Club. “It is my distinct honor to congratulate Dolores as Nassau County’s 2017 Senior Citizen ‘Woman of the Year’,” said County Executive Ed Mangano. “Dolores is an inspiration and role model for the young and not so young. Her advice is words to live by: ‘You

Richard Begandy

Dolores Genovese have to find your passion in life and think about what works for you. You then just need to follow through... knowing what your strengths are and what you enjoy doing for others’.” Genovese was born in Brooklyn and moved to Massapequa Park in 1940. She graduated from Hofstra University in 1954 and taught in the Massapequa School District for 29 years. Genovese has three children and six grandchildren.

Begandy participates in the bi-annual

Veterans Stand Down for our homeless veterans. He continually promotes Americanism and awareness of our active military and veterans by visiting and partaking in many of the ceremonies conducted by our community’s schools. He educates local Scouts on American flag etiquette and history. “I congratulate Richard as Nassau County’s 2017 Senior Citizen ‘Man of the Year’,” said Mangano. “Richard is most deserving of this award for his community service to residents, our nation’s heroes and for his service and dedication to our armed forces.” Begandy was born in Pennsylvania, raised in Rochester, NY, and moved to Long Island in 1966. He has been a resident of Massapequa Park since 1984. He served in the United States Navy (1954-58). His advice to others is “Get involved with your community!” and “We can all make a difference in our community and/or by helping our veterans.” He has followed his own advice by always striving to do everything that can be done for the community, the VFW and our military, veterans and their families.

Seniors Use Apple Technology Although Gloria Boyd, 73 and resident of New Hyde Park, has had an iPhone for about four years, she is frustrated because of her limited knowledge of how to use many of the functions and apps. After attending a free program offered by Genser Dubow Genser & Cona (GDGC), an elder law firm based in Melville, along with EAC Network, she was thrilled to learn new skills. Now, she won’t have to rely on her son to help her. “It was most valuable for me to find out how to scan documents with my phone,” said Boyd. “This knowledge alone will help me with my work at St. Vincent’s de Paul when I have to process extensive paperwork from clients.” According to the Pew Institute, about 30 percent of adults ages 60 or older do not know how to use technological devices. To help Long Island seniors overcome their fear of technology and learn more about using an iPhone or iPad, GDGC and EAC Network, a social service agency on LI that helps people in need, recently hosted a free “Senior Tech of LI” program. EAC provided the group with an instructor and a coach. Each participant

we reached out to EAC, a nonprofit agency that brings technology to seniors.” Sandy Schneck, retiree who considers himself a tech geek and is now an instructor with EAC, told the class that the Apple technology can be a great tool and do a thousand things but is also dangerous if misused. During the class, he explained how to: send information on a screen by email or printing, use various apps, search via Google and YouTube, take notes, erase emails, access attachments, use the camera, calendar, enter contacts and more. Even though the participants had different levels of experience, their individual questions were answered by the EAC instructor and coach. Theresa Bedford, 78 and resident of Amityville, has been frustrated by her limited knowledge of the technology. She now owns her fifth iPhone but never knew how to use the camera, reply to emails, use Safari to search the Internet and more until taking this class.

Local Org Teams Up To Provide Wheelchairs Worldwide BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

In outlying Santiago, Chile, two elderly sisters lived just blocks apart but were disabled and could not leave their homes. When the California-based nonprofit Free Wheelchair Mission gifted each woman her own wheelchair, the siblings could finally make the yards-long journey to reunite face to face after 15 years. Receiving the gift of mobility is a beautiful, empowering experience for these Chilean sisters, as well as 13-year-old Ma Hao in China, 91-year-old Fidel in Mexico and nearly a million other people with disabilities helped through the Free Wheelchair Mission’s generous work. With a doctorate in engineering and years of experience in the biomedical field, Don Schoendorfer founded his humanitarian organization in 2001 to deliver durable, inexpensive wheelchairs—at no cost—to those less fortunate in the world.

The World Health Organization estimates that 100 million people in developing countries are in critical need of a wheelchair but lack the resources to obtain one. For a countless number of the planet’s poor, birth defects, land mines, disease, malnutrition, unclean water and other untreated health disorders lead to deformity and restricted movement. Often, those with challenged mobility must be carried everywhere. Others are left to crawl on the ground or remain secluded in a back bedroom. Isolation, depression and hopelessness add to the struggle to even stand up, let alone take a step. Throughout 93 countries to date, from desolate villages to bustling urban centers, Free Wheelchair Mission has transformed the lives of those who cannot walk. By partnering with organizations and individuals, Free Wheelchair Mission is on target to reach its one-millionth wheelchair recipient soon.

Right at Home, a leader in professional home care services for seniors and adults with a disability, is teaming up with Free Wheelchair Mission to help extend the gift of mobility to those who need it most. During Right at Home’s annual meeting, funds were collected to send 1,650 wheelchairs to children and adults in need throughout the world. “We are excited to partner with Free Wheelchair Mission, because every day we see how lack of mobility affects the quality of life for the clients we serve,” said Gregg Balbera, president of Right at Home Nassau Suffolk. “For those living with a disability in less-resourced nations, a wheelchair opens doors to an education, a job, independence and social interaction,” said Balbera. “Mobility encourages renewed self-confidence and hope.” A gift of $80 will manufacture, ship, assemble and deliver one wheelchair anywhere in the world. Specifically designed to

withstand rugged terrain in inaccessible communities, the wheelchairs feature common parts that can be easily maintained and repaired on-site, ensuring reliable, worry-free use for years to come. “Volunteers work with teams in-country to assemble and give away hundreds of wheelchairs at a time,” Balbera explained. “Many of us with Right at Home are eager to participate in one of these ‘Vision Trips’ to see the exuberant joy on the faces of children to aging adults who will be mobile again, or for the first time ever.” Balbera shared the inspiring story of Aishat from a Nigerian community where those with disabilities are not always treated well. When Aishat contracted polio at a young age, her overwhelmed father could not face caring for a child with a disability. He abandoned Aishat and her mother. Sadly, Aishat’s mother died, but the child’s grandmother stepped in. The grandmother sold her only possession—a canopy that she

rented out—to pay for Aishat to attend school. The compassionate woman carried her grandchild to school and one day heard a radio announcement about free medical treatment and wheelchairs. Aishat received one of those Free Wheelchair Mission wheelchairs. At age 7, Aishat could finally get around on her own. Overjoyed, her grandmother shouted, “This is a life-changing donation. Now my girl

will stop crawling on the ground!” Together, Free Wheelchair Mission and Right at Home are honored to collaborate and raise funds to provide the gift of mobility in Vietnam, Cambodia, Romania, Ukraine and everywhere in between. “It’s quite an experience when you actually show up at somebody’s home, especially when they are not expecting you, because they have been waiting for a wheelchair for maybe 25 years,” Schoendorfer noted. “You put them in the wheelchair and instantly they gain this dignity from sitting up straight,” he said. “Human beings have such an innate need and desire to move independently.” “When you rob them of this, you take away so much of their humanity,” Schoendorfer added. “We need your help to get your brothers and sisters up off the ground. It’s that simple.” Visit www.freewheelchairmission.org to learn more about joining efforts locally to supply wheelchairs to the world’s less fortunate, visit www.rightathomeli.com or call 516-719-5999.

Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that $28.7 million in federal funding is available to help communities eliminate barriers to traditional transportation services and enhance public mobility alternatives for seniors and New Yorkers with disabilities. This new grant opportunity will enable private nonprofit organizations and municipal governments to: •P urchase accessible buses and vans; • I mplement mobility management programs; •P rovide travel training and assistance to users; and • I mprove the accessibility of bus stops, including sidewalks, curb-cuts, and updated signage or wayfinding technology. These funds, made available to the state through the Federal Transit Administration and administered by the New York State Department of Transportation, are provided through the Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program (Section 5310). The program will provide up to 80

percent of capital project-related costs and 50 percent of operating assistance and mobility management activities, with the remaining non-federal share provided by project applicants. “I applaud Governor Cuomo for his leadership and recognition that mobility and transportation access are paramount to living with autonomy in the community,” said New York State Office for the Aging Acting Director Greg Olsen. The New York State Department of Transportation will be accepting applications for this program opportunity through Monday, Aug. 21.

7 Books For Personal Development On the path of self-discovery and personal development? We all are, whether we are actively pursuing it or not. Evolution is our birthright and every experience we have has the power to fuel and stretch us to be more conscious and evolved human beings. Learning how to harness every challenge into an opportunity for growth is accessible to each and every one of us. It starts with a willingness to change our perceptions and be open to a new, more peaceful way of moving through every moment of life. I have put together a list of some of my favorite books that have encouraged me to step outside of my comfort zone and look at my own life through a different set

of lenses. If there are books here that you have already read a few or more years back, I invite you to re-read them. I believe that every time we read a book, we pick up on different lessons based on where we are at in our lives at that time. Picking up a book for a second or third time offers us different learnings and different meanings and furthers our potential for growth.

Man’s Search for Meaning

Miracles Now

In this transformational book, psychiatrist and neurologist Viktor Frankl shares about his experience as a concentration camp inmate during the Second World War. As his world was being rocked, he was able to make the great discovery that those who survived the longest in concentration camps and in other life-threatening circumstances were not those who were physically strong, but those who were able to find purpose and meaning, even in the face of the least desirable circumstances.

A course in miracles states that a miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love. In this incredible book by Gabrielle Bernstein, you will be provided with myriad miracle moments and opportunities to help move you into a peaceful state within minutes. Some examples of the tools she uses are acronyms, meditations and mantras, all memorable ideas that you can keep in your back pocket for those challenging moments when you need a quick self-empowerment fix.

Nassau County – Did you know that over 100 million Americans suffer from knee and joint pain? In fact, this pain accounts for nearly one third of all visits to primary care physicians and half of all anti-inflammatory prescriptions. Have you ever wondered how different your life would be if you could get rid of your knee pain? Where would you go? What would you do? What would you give for a day, a week or even a lifetime of pain-free mobility? How would you feel if there was an FDA-cleared treatment available locally that could provide the relief you have been searching for even if nothing else has worked for you? Now what if I told you this treatment required no surgery, was virtually pain free, and above all else was covered by most insurance plans, including Medicare? If this sounds good to you, then relief may now be closer than you think! This natural, FDA-cleared and virtually pain-free, small joint injection is providing new hope for knee arthritis sufferers, which has been shown to significantly reduce and even eliminate the pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee.

Omega-3s At Every Meal

Have you heard of omega-3 fatty acids? These are essential fats that we must get from food; the human body cannot make this particular type of fatty acid. Omega-3s play a special role in cell membranes, hormone regulation and inflammation. They even bind to receptors in cells that regulate genetic function. Omega-3s have been studied in depth; research has shown that they can help prevent heart disease, stroke and even play a protective role in cancer. The beneficial relationship between omega-3s and heart disease has the strongest evidence, including its effect on lowering blood pressure and heart rate. Seafood rich in omega-3s includes salmon, fresh tuna and halibut. Incorporating fresh fish into your family dinner meals is always a great idea. I like to take advantage of ordering seafood when I dine out, as it is typically prepared in a lighter way than other entrees. Grilled salmon or lightly seared tuna is an excellent entrĂŠe option that is packed with omega-3s and heart-healthy benefits. Omega-3s are known to be found in fish, however they are abundant in other foods as well. There are various

CHOOSING HEALTH Stefani Pappas RDN, CDN, CPT plant-based omega-3 foods that include certain oils, nuts, seeds and beans. For example, walnuts, ground flaxseeds and chia seeds are known for their high omega-3 content. I love to add chopped walnuts and ground flaxseeds to cereal, yogurt or even salads for a nutritious boost. Chia seed pudding makes for a delicious healthy dessert, and you can find countless recipes for this on Pinterest. There are also many foods that are fortified with omega-3s; these include eggs, milk, soy milk and yogurt. These foods can be incorporated into your diet as snacks, such as a yogurt parfait or glass of milk/soy milk. I personally love a veggie-filled omelet for breakfast on the weekends, which can add some additional omega-3 benefit when fortified. Certain green leafy vegetables are

also good sources of ALA, which is one form of omega-3 fatty acids. These vegetables are packed with fiber and other nutrients as well. Try Brussels sprouts, kale, or spinach as a side with your dinner meal. Try kale chips as a snack or roasted Brussels sprouts to snack on during the day. I often get asked whether or not one should take an omega-3 supplement.

It’s important to note that the Food and Drug Administration advises no more than 3g of omega-3s per day, or else an individual may experience uncomfortable gastrointestinal symptoms. If you are eating fish at least twice a week and regularly including the other omega-3 rich foods listed in this article, you may not need an omega-3 supplement. Additionally, food forms are naturally more bioavailable to the body than supplements. However, if you dislike fish or may not be able to afford having fresh fish on a regular basis, an omega-3 supplement may not be a bad idea for you.

Autonomous Driving BY WON JUNG specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

With advances in autonomous-drive technology, a wave of semi-autonomous cars has hit the market, ready to forever change the commuter experience. And this is just the start. As a growing number of tech and auto companies continue to forge this new field, the probability of a world of driverless and connected-car travel increases by the day. In the near future, you could be sitting in traffic, reclined in your passenger seat and asleep, as you head home from a busy day of work. Although many of the following cars are still in the driver-assist phase as opposed to the autonomous-driving phase, here are some vehicles that could be driving you home soon:

Cars In The Market Tesla Model S

Tesla’s revolutionary sedan is the only car on the market that can engage in semi-driverless driving for extended periods of time. Although a person is required to sit in the driver’s seat and be alert to engage in steering, Tesla’s autopilot feature makes the Model S the closest thing to a driverless vehicle on the streets.

BMW

Mercedes-Benz E-Class

This luxury sedan engages Mercedes-Benz’s Drive Pilot system, which requires check-ins every 30 seconds to one minute by grabbing hold of the steering wheel, but otherwise drives itself, albeit in a lesser capacity than the Model S.

BMW 7 Class

Ford

for driverless capacities at up to 37 mph, topping both Mercedes and BMW. This model also includes active suspension in its wheels which serves as a unique feature that spots potential bumps in the road and adapts to provide a smoother ride.

with self-driving technology. A fleet of Bolts equipped with this technology were given to GM employees at the end of 2016 and more are expected to hit mass markets in the coming years.

Cars In Testing

Google, in partnership with Chrysler, is in the midst of developing a driverless vehicle with its target demographic as families. Its target release date is 2018.

General Motors Cadillac CT6

BMW’s Active Driving feature allows for short-term hands-free steering as it can track via lane markers or follow a car from behind. The 7 Class also features Automatic Parking which will park the car without a driver.

This All-American sedan, scheduled to debut with semi-autonomous driving this fall, will employ Super Cruise, a hands-free system that is expected to give Tesla’s autopilot features a run for their money.

Audi A8 (pictured on the cover)

General Motors plans to bring its electric Chevrolet Bolt to the next level

Ford Focus

In line with its promise to have autonomous vehicles by 2021, Ford is in the preliminary steps of autonomous driving with its Active Park Assist system, which initiates self-parking in its Focus models.

Autonomous Vehicle Testing To Begin BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

New York State is now accepting applications from companies interested in testing or demonstrating autonomous vehicles on public roads. Included in the FY 2018 budget, new legislation allows for testing autonomous technology through a year-long pilot program. In addition to the legislation, the new Department of Motor Vehicles application process is another step forward in making New York the epicenter of cutting-edge technology and innovation. “New York has emerged as one of the nation’s leading hubs for innovation, and as we invite companies and entrepreneurs to reimagine transportation technology, we will encourage the development of new, safe travel options for New Yorkers,” Cuomo said. “With this action, we are taking a careful yet balanced approach to incorporating autonomous vehicles on our roads to reduce dangerous driving habits, decrease the number of accidents and save lives on New York roadways.” Applications for testing may be submitted by manufacturers of “autonomous vehicle technology,” or companies creating such technology working in conjunction with manufacturers. All vehicles will also have to comply with federal safety standards and all applicable New York State inspection standards, and a person holding a valid driver license must be present in the driver’s seat at all times while it is operated on public highways. Each vehicle to be used must be listed in the application and a $5

million insurance policy must be in place for any vehicles to be tested. “While we all are familiar with the idea that self-driving cars will one day likely be commonplace, the reality is that there is a long road ahead before we get there,” DMV Executive Deputy Commissioner Terri Egan said. “We need to make sure these vehicles are safely tested on our roads, while providing opportunities for the public to become familiar with this technology. This is a balanced approach consistent with New York’s long track record of highway safety as well as innovation.” Among other things, companies must also submit

a report on demonstrations or tests, undertaken pursuant to a DMV permit, to the commissioner of motor vehicles no later than March 1, 2018. The law permitting demonstrations or tests is set to expire April 1, 2018. “The state police applaud any new and advanced technology that will improve safety on our roadways and reduce accidents, injuries and fatalities,” New York State Police Superintendent George P. Beach II said. “Any new technology, no matter how innovative, needs to be tested and evaluated appropriately and the State Police will perform its due diligence to oversee this process and ensure its effectiveness.”

Holiday Mathis Holiday Mathis Mathis HOROSCOPES ByByByHoliday ARIES (March 21-April 19). The best teacher is experience. You’re a close second, perhaps because you defer to experience, fighting the urge to take over and do it yourself. This week you’ll find yourself standing by, watching someone fail or watching someone take a very long time to complete a task, all in the name of learning!

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND A Good W Walk Spoilt Solution: 29 Letters

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Don’t let lofty aspirations obscure the higher vantage point currently available to you. It’s time to stop dreaming and take practical action. To be clear, this doesn’t mean giving up your beloved dream. It just means that you need to put your best energy into understanding where you are and where to go next. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re an expert at ego suspension. You’ll put your own wants, needs and opinions aside for any number of reasons: working for the greater good, playing for the team win, making someone feel better or just generally keeping the peace. But you shouldn’t give in every time. When it’s your turn, take it. Treat yourself. CANCER (June 22-July 22). When what’s heard contradicts what’s believed, logic goes out the window and animal instinct takes over. That’s the start of a fight. Even if you don’t agree with what’s going on, there are benefits to forestalling conflict as long as possible. Much can be worked out when you focus on shared interests and goals. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The leading cause of anxiety: uncertainty. The remedy is experience. Experience teaches you how things work. It doesn’t even have to be experience in the same field or topic to lessen the uncertainty factor. All experience illuminates in some way. This week you’ll come to understand more and fear less. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll build rapport, relationships and more this week. You genuinely want to know what others are thinking and dreaming about. Just remember, no one likes to feel judged, and yet that’s what often happens with this type of sharing. Make it a different experience. Seek understanding. Validate the other person. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The trouble with perfection is that it bores people. There’s no story there. The other thing with it is -- oh, yeah -- it doesn’t exist. So when you see it, or hear about it, inside you know it’s a lie. That’s why perfection is nothing to aspire to. And anyway, as long as you get up more times than you fall, you’re ahead. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Many people will not be ready, qualified for or amenable to your requests. Also, more than one person will be absolutely ready, qualified and amenable to do whatever it is you need and want. So when you don’t get the answer you’re looking for, keep asking around until you find the right ones for the job. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Staying busy is only positive when you’re busy doing you, not escaping you. There are those who will flit from activity to distraction to destination to relationship, all to avoid dealing with their own minds. Steer clear of these types, and don’t be one. This week is a lucky time to face what you’ve been avoiding. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You believe that each and every person is your equal. Remember that “equal” does not mean “same.” People’s various strengths and talents will surprise, delight and serve you well this week -that is, once you stop expecting them to be able to do what you can do! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). All frustration comes from unrealistic expectations. How do you know what’s unrealistic? It’s not happening right now. Real is what’s happening. Wanting anything other than that leads to unpleasant emotions, unless you know the right way to want. The right way to want starts with accepting what is. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). In the name of love or friendship you invested your time and energy into another person’s project. Now it’s you who needs help, and you’re not so eager to ask. You don’t feel you’re owed a return, but that’s not the point. It just feels weird to need something. Swallow your pride, ask anyway.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You’re always trying to improve yourself. This is your year to relax, accept and give exceptional care to the person you already are. You will elevate the collective human spirit just by being you. Love happens in incremental degrees. Suddenly you’ll notice your heart has been stolen away and right from under your nose. There will be adventures in November and May. Save up, because what you can do for a higher price will be worth the investment. You may find new work in your travels. COPYRIGHT 2017 CREATORS.COM

Viva La Vegan BY NICOLE LOCKWOOD

NLOCKWOOD@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

eganism, a word once synonymous with outlandish hippie ideals, yoga retreats and meditation circles is beginning to proliferate everyday discourse, becoming more widely accepted and practiced by the masses, particularly on Long Island. The newest addition to the scene is the latest creation by the 3 Brothers franchise. Leona & 3 Brothers, located at 152 Union Ave. in Lynbrook, officially opened its doors on June 21, joining the existing Farmingdalebased 3 Brothers Pizza Cafe and Copiague’s 3 Brothers Vegan Cafe. While the regular menu presents desirable classic seafood and Italian dishes like lobster ravioli, linguini with clams and shrimp parmesan, many patrons, whether vegan or not, have been opting for the cruelty-free menu items. Included are pasta dishes and entrées that substitute dairy with nut-based cheeses and meat with seitan (derived from wheat gluten) and cauliflower.

For appetizers, there’s the caprese, made using cashew milk mozzarella; the eggplant rollatini, with cashew milk ricotta; the oyster mushroom “calamari,”(pictured) swapping squid for oyster mushrooms; and the buffalo cauliflower; consisting of fried cauliflower, buffalo sauce and a housemade bleu cheese. It is difficult to differentiate the vegan pasta dishes from the regular ones, with the almond ravioli, almond cannelloni, penne vodka and pasta primavera looking and tasting similar to their meat and dairy-based counterparts. The main courses, certainly not lacking protein, include the seitan marsala, served over yukon gold mashed potatoes, haricot verts and mushrooms; the cauliflower steak, with kale and salsa verde; the seitan cacciatore; and eggplant “parmesan.” While the standard menu items present more choices than a vegan is accustomed to, the lineup of unique specials each night make deciding what to order an even greater feat. Bon appétit (without meat). For more information, visit www. leona3brothers.com.

Long Island Weekly’s Nicole Lockwood goes airborne.

Blown Out Of The Water BY NICOLE LOCKWOOD NLOCKWOOD@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

n the outskirts of the small Brookhaven village of Blue Point lies Blue Point Dock, a short pier where locals can be found fishing, walking along the shore and engaging in other activities typical of coastal communities. Upon looking a few feet into the distance, if for a moment it seems as though there’s something hovering just above the water’s horizon, that’s because there is. No it’s not a seagull, it’s a flyboarder. What is flyboarding you ask? Described as part wake boarding, part jet skiing, the act of flyboarding involves being strapped into a pair of boots with jet nozzles underneath, and thrust into the air as a high-pressure stream of water is forced through those nozzles. Safe? Apparently. Terrifying? Yes. Exhilarating? Absolutely. Thanks to FlyboardLI, the first flyboard rental location on the island, I was able to try what their website describes as “the most extreme water sport to hit Long Island” for a 30-minute session. Despite several discouraging flops and a whole lot of water up the nose, the feeling from a successful attempt is indescribable. It is natural to want to look down, attempting to focus on maintaining your balance, but if you look up for just a second, true to the activity’s name, it really does feel like you’re flying.

According to FlyboardLI founder Jimmy Bisset, who established the brand in downtown Riverhead before moving to Port Jefferson and then its current Blue Point location, flyers can reach up to 35 feet above the water. Though at the time I was certain I had done just that, the photos and videos tell quite a different story. Nonetheless, it was an incredible experience that, in my opinion, transcends all other water sports. Just a warning, if you do decide to flyboard one day, prepare to be unenthused by jet skiing, parasailing, banana boating and other vacation-esque activities. My reaction is typical of most first-timers, many of whom don’t remain first-timers for long. Those who try the sport are often eager to try their luck again, noting that they were just starting to get the hang of it toward the end. The secret to achieving a good lift is all in the legs and feet, as you must keep your posture as straight as possible, pointing your toes to either hoist yourself higher or lower yourself back down. Apparently this is how you do flips, twists and turns as well, but I figured I wouldn’t break out those moves until my next flyboarding stint. “Next time you’ll be able to do all kinds of tricks,” said current co-owner Travis Friedmann, attempting to mask his sarcasm. I responded with an unconvincing, “Totally.” Friedmann and co-owner Sean Petterson jointly operate the business on weekends during the

summer, this one marking their second in Blue Point. When the two seasoned flyboarders became aware that Bissett was looking to sell the business, they were quick to hop on the opportunity. “Sean took his first flight and loved it so much, we figured we could run the business ourselves,” said Friedmann. Sessions are offered on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., with each ranging from 15 minutes ($99), to half an hour ($199) to a full hour ($380). Group rates are also available for up to 12 people. For more information about FlyboardLI, visit www.flyboardli.com.
