Flashback To The Future
Nickelodeon brings back beloved ’90s cartoons to the forefront
BY ANTHONY MURRAY AMURRAY@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
W
hen you turn the channel to Nickelodeon, you won’t be hallucinating when you see popular ’90s cartoons such as Rugrats, Rocko’s Modern Life or Hey Arnold! occupying your television screens. Riding the prominent nostalgia wave, Nickelodeon is planning on rebooting many of our favorite childhood cartoons in both movies and television shows. “One of the amazing things about having a library of animated shows that is so beloved is that the love has not thinned as the years have passed,” said senior vice president of programming and development at Nickelodeon Chris Viscardi, who oversees the Nickelodeon Animation Studio and all of the animated properties the network develops and produces. “The first three animated shows that we ever made in 1991 were Rugrats, Ren & Stimpy and Doug and their fans today are just as avid about those shows, now, as they were back then.” The key to having a successful reboot is having a property that would please the adult fan base but would also work for the kid generation of today. “We looked at some of those properties and we talked to some of the creators of the original content and kind of earmarked a few of them that we thought would have the best potential for success,” explained Viscardi. According to Viscardi, having the original creators be a part of the reboots was very important to the network. Creators Craig Bartlett of Hey Arnold!, Joe Murray of Rocko’s Modern Life, Jhonen Vasquez of Invader Zim and Arlene Klasky, Gábor Csupó and Paul Germain of Rugrats have all returned to the network in some capacity for their respective shows.
Chris Viscardi “Some of them are television series and some are specials or movies” said Viscardi. “We looked at it through a few different lenses, but ultimately it came down to our original fans loving them, us feeling that kids today would love them and then having the original creative team coming back and driving the new version of them.” One ’90s property that is still going strong on Nickelodeon is SpongeBob Squarepants, who will be celebrating 20 years on the network in 2019. “It’s such a part of our culture and it’s part of our pop culture history and it’s one of those properties that is once in a lifetime,” said Viscardi.

The rambunctious Rugrats will soon be returning to Nickelodeon with a rebooted 26-episode television series and movie in 2020. “The creators were interested in exploring more with those characters, but more than anything the original audience for that series was always asking for more,” said Viscardi. “Probably more than any property that we have, Rugrats is the one that continues to get an amazing response from today’s generation of kids.” Last year, the network aired the television movie special Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie, which proved to be a success for the network. Rocko’s Modern Life and Invader Zim will also be getting their own special movies in the near future. “Craig had a conclusion to his story that he wanted to tell [about Hey Arnold!] and it seemed like it was best suited as a movie to tell the story,” explained Viscardi. Rocko’s Modern Life ended when the three core characters were shot into space, which proved to be an exciting jumping off point for Murray and his creative team to imagine what would happen 25 years later when they returned from space. “The same thing can be said for Jhonen Vasquez for Invader Zim. Those three creators had a story that they wanted to tell, which was best suited for a one-off movie. We’re still open to exploring them as new episodes moving forward but first we wanted to tell a great movie,” said Viscardi. Two properties that the network is excited to relaunch is Blue’s Clues and Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. “Blue’s Clues is coming in the near future and was such an iconic preschool hit for us. Everyone at the network is thrilled about where that new series may go,” said Viscardi.

Back To The Boarding House Craig Bartlett recalls how Hey Arnold! helped set the stage for ’90s cartoon reboots BY JENNIFER FAUCI JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
N
ineties cartoon fans are very protective of their era of television. So when Nickelodeon broke the news that several beloved shows would be rebooted as movies and returning to the small screen as a series, people went nuts. Fans already got a taste of nostalgia when Hey Arnold! made its eagerly anticipated return 15 years after the series ended in the form of a movie, and creator, animator and producer of the show Craig Bartlett is ready for more. “I always loved cartoons. When I was a kid, I made my own comics, but I didn’t make that connection that cartoons were made somewhere,” said Bartlett, who never knew that there was a career for animation. “It wasn’t until I started school and saw a traveling animation show of independent shorts from all over the world that made an impression on me, and I realized I wanted to tell stories.” Bartlett grew up in Seattle and moved to Los Angeles in the late 1980s. That’s when he decided to create his own character, Arnold, a weird-looking fourth-grader who lives in a boarding house with his grandparents. Bartlett described Arnold as a “kind of avatar” of himself. “I wanted to make a show about how I felt about childhood and
Arnold’s take on the world is similar to mine,” he says of Hey Arnold!, which was more grounded and reality based than other shows at the time. “In the ’80s, animated series for kids were at a low point. Nickelodeon’s Gerry Laybourne had a vision to make original animation content for kids like The Ren & Stimpy Show, Rugrats and Doug. The Simpsons gets a lot of credit because they broke the door down and the rest of us followed.” According to Bartlett, ’90s television was known as “the go-go ’90s” because with a mixed bag of interesting and new shows being created, many people, including Bartlett, had the chance to make their own show. “I was well situated for all of that,” he said of the time, adding that in 1990, he began story editing and directing the first season of Rugrats, which introduced him to Nickelodeon executives. “In 1993, I pitched Hey Arnold! and we made the pilot in 1994.” In 1996, Hey Arnold! soon joined the ranks of other beloved cartoons that became part of millions of kids’
weeknight and Saturday morning television programming. Kids could relate to Arnold, Gerald, Helga, Phoebe, Eugene, Harold and the dozens of other characters that became such a crucial part of growing up. Hey Arnold! The Movie was released in theaters in 2002 and in 2017, Bartlett delivered again with Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie, which he hoped, was the resolution fans were waiting for regarding Arnold’s lost parents. “When I went to Nick, I made a PowerPoint to introduce them to everything in Craig the series: the Bartlett main relationships, the first 100 episodes, Helga telling Arnold how she feels about him, everything that led to the first movie,” said Bartlett. “In The Jungle Movie, my intention was to check things off like, what’s Arnold’s last name? How does he feel about Helga? And what the hell happened to his lost parents? I did all that and really made my point after having 15 years to think about it.” Out of the 100 episodes, Bartlett cites the emotional ones like “Helga On The Couch” (S4, Ep. 16), where viewers learn about Helga’s backstory and “Parent’s Day,” (S5, Ep. 8), which
20180907_XAL_LNW_PG00-12:49August31,2018
tells the saga of Arnold’s parents. “Helga is my favorite after Arnold; she’s complex and smart and creative, she’s a great leader but she’s just really angry and that episode where we show her heartbreaking backstory with her family created a new level of sympathy for her,” said Bartlett. After five seasons, the show ended and continues to live on in syndication. For those who spent their childhood alongside Hey Arnold!, the animated series can still be seen on Teen Nick, Hulu and Amazon Prime. In addition to creating Hey Arnold!—and providing the voices for Brainy, Abner, Monkeyman and Arnold’s dad, Miles—Bartlett has also worked on the PBS show Dinosaur Train and Ready Jet Go! He is always trying to work up another show, but no matter what, he would love to make more Hey Arnold! “I think it would be fun to do a season six where Arnold tries to figure out the new dynamic in the house now that his parents are back,” said Bartlett, who enjoys watching the interest in his show grow via social media. “We have three different audiences now: kids; young adults who were ’90s kids and some who now have children themselves. It’s really cool and unexpected.” Be on the lookout for two Hey Arnold! DVD special features: Hey Arnold! The Pilot and the Original Claymation Short: Arnold Escapes from Church.

Amy Recco reveals Friends for Life’s commitment to care
Q
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.
A
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.
Q
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 that their wishes are respected within their own home.
A
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.
Q
You were recently named a Woman of Distinction in the Town of Oyster Bay for your work with Friends For Life. How did it feel to be recognized for your hard work? 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.
A
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.
Q
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 oftentimes 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 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 wellknown 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.

Cowabunga! America’s favorite turtles return to the small screen BY BETSY ABRAHAM

hen he was six years old, Brandon Mychal Smith donned a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles costume for Halloween. As he went house to house asking for candy in his best Donatello voice, he could have never imaged that one day he would make a living voicing one of his favorite characters. “I was a turtle then and now, to be able to become one for millions of fans and people who love the franchise is truly an honor,” said Smith, who ditched his Donatello costume to voice Michelangelo in Nickelodeon’s Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. “It’s surreal. Every day I wake up and think I’m dreaming.” As a child, Smith was a faithful follower of the Ninja Turtles, watching the show every week on TV. And now he joins one of the most notable comic franchises in the world, bringing his own unique take on the youngest Ninja Turtle. “I wanted to bring that urban flair and creativity and give him that funk,” Smith said. “I wanted to give this character spontaneity and the urban appeal which I think defines cool. This iteration is the definition of funky cool.” Smith joined Ballers’ Omar Miller (Raphael), Parks and Recreation’s Ben Schwartz (Leonardo) and Silicon Valley’s Josh Brener (Donatello) in the recording booth, an experience he described as both gratifying and humbling. Also lending their voice talents to the show are Kat Graham as April O’Neil and WWE superstar and actor John Cena, who plays villain Baron Draxum. The latest manifestation of the show finds the four turtle brothers discovering new powers and hidden realms as they fight villains on the streets of New York City. While Rise holds onto aspects of earlier shows that fans of the Ninja Turtles love—big action scenes, cool lingo and strong brotherhood—it also brings to light a more youthful side of the half-shell heroes. “You’re able to go into a time capsule of when these guys were figuring out their powers, and them making mistakes and getting into trouble and

that youthful, charismatic color that this series geared towards teens can provide,” said Smith. “I think this is the most exciting, fun, spontaneous iteration.” Adding to that youthful feel is the switch from computer to handdrawn, 2D animation, a style that was inspired by anime and Teen Titans. Smith notes that it’s a medium that allows viewers to get immersed in the
world of the turtles like never before. “Going into 2D gives it that much more dynamism,” said Smith. “The 2D aspect, combined with the teenage aspect, allows our iteration to be the most vibrant, rambunctious, colorful and magical experience. That’s the really cool part of this new series. We really get wild.” And part of the rambunctious and wild experience are the shenanigans
20180907_XAL_LNW_PG00-12:49August31,2018
Smith voices Michelangelo or “Mikey,” the youngest of the ninja turtle brothers. the turtles find themselves in each episode as they make sense of their new powers and the world ahead of them. It’s a message that any viewer— regardless of whether or not they’re a sewer-dwelling, crime-fighting turtle—will be able to relate to. “Whether you’re a kid or teen, you can have that understanding of the process of figuring out who you are and what you do best, those moments of ambiguity and fear and testing those limits as a human, or in this case a turtle,” said Smith. “This series allows us as a culture to be comfortable with taking a risk and making mistakes.” With five episodes of the new show currently online and more to be released after the series’ official premiere date of Sept. 17, it looks like the pizza-loving heroes will be around for a while; Nickelodeon has already renewed the show for a second season. “When you join a franchise, that means so much to millions of fans and adults and kids. It’s an honor for them to believe in us with so much love and confidence,” said Smith. “This iteration is the dream team. It’s the best version ever and I hope we’re able to do this for years and years to come.”

Returning To His Roots Carlos Alazraqui revisits Rocko’s Modern Life
BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO
(Photos courtesy of Nickelodeon)
DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
A
ccording to the Internet Movie Database, Carlos Alazraqui has 317 acting credits, the majority of them featuring him as a prominent voiceover artist. But for the former stand-up comic, it all began with him providing the voice and personality of the title character of Rocko’s Modern Life. The Nickelodeon animated sitcom originally ran from 1993 to 1996 and centered on the exploits of an anthropomorphic Australian-immigrant wallaby named Rocko as well as his friends, all who lived in the fictional town of O-Town. Throughout the series’ 52 episodes, the extensive use of satirical social commentary, clever innuendo and double entendres appealed to both children and adults, with the latter consisting of a large college-age fan base. Twenty-two years after it ceased airing original episodes in 1996, the show is set to return via Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling, a one-hour TV special featuring all the original voice talents and creator Joe Murray serving as the executive producer. The return of the series is something Alazraqui immediately embraced when he ran into Murray, friend and former cast-mate Doug Lawrence and series staff writer Martin Olson at HOME Restaurant in the Silverlake neighborhood of Los Angeles back in August 2016. “I see these guys walk in and I asked, ‘What’s going on here? Is something maybe going on with Rocko?’,” Alazraqui recalled. “I was told they were writing a story for Rocko and maybe it was going to be a movie. It was probably in August 2016. Along comes November and we record it. I remember the genesis of it all being August 2016, with those guys sitting at a table and saying we were doing it. I was so happy.” In returning to this breakout role and being able to work with his friends again, the Yonkers native was quick to point out that no one missed a beat. And the joy of being able to inhabit this character 20 years later returned just as quickly, particularly when everyone was working together in the recording studio again. “Jill Talley and Linda [Wallem] came in to do separate sessions, as
well as Steve Little. But Tom [Kenny], Doug, Charlie [Adler] and myself were there and it was like The Who getting back together after 25 years. We prank and gag. Plus Tom, Doug and I were also on Camp Lazlo, which was a Joe Murray show,” he said. “Having known each other, the chemistry was really fun. Even after 20-something years, we were all thrilled to be in the room together. We watched each other work. I really paid attention to it and really revering it. I was in the room with a bunch of legends and we’re good and we still got it. We were on point. We knew what we were doing and it’s all great.” During Rocko’s original four-season run, the show’s writers were constantly pushing the boundaries with network censors. Among the coups was featuring story lines that included Rocko’s brief time as a telephone operator at an office with instructions on the wall reminded all employees to “Be Hot, Be Naughty, and Be Courteous” while Rocko dispassionately repeated “Oh baby” into the receiver. Or when Kenny’s Heffer Wolfe, (Rocko’s best friend and a castrated steer), has an amorous encounter with a milking machine, with only his reactions getting shown
on-screen. Ask Alazraqui why he thinks Rocko was able to get away with so much, and he has a few theories. “I think we owe [John] Kricfalusi a lot of thanks for putting Ren & Stimpy on before us and we would literally follow it in the line-up. So that opened doors. It was very subversive. You could get the subversiveness in this really sweet character,” he said. “In the movie, there are some really wonderful reveals and the way our characters react to it is so wonderful. They’re just wide-eyed still and I think that innocence allows us to get away with that subversiveness for sure. We feel safer because we Carlos Alazraqui don’t feel like it’s quite real.” The son of Argentinian parents, Alazraqui moved to the Bay Area community of Concord when he was a kid. When he wasn’t enjoying cartoon characters like Commander McBragg, Go Go Gophers, Kimba the White Lion and the Inspector and Sgt. Deux-Deux of Pink Panther fame, Alazraqui was soaking up the voices of his ethnically diverse blue-collar neighborhood. “My parents were both from Argentina. Other accents included
20180907_XAL_LNW_PG00-12:49August31,2018
people that would come over from Peru,” he recalled. “We had a lot of Russian friends and then Kevin, who I met in kindergarten, lived in the neighboring sub-tract. Both Kevin’s parents were from Glasgow, Scotland. And Uncle Danny was there and he’d call me ‘Kar-los.’ So I had this tapestry of dialects that I could tap into and got into it, which made me pay attention to television. Particularly characters like Grandpa Al Lewis on The Munsters. I just started paying attention to dialects, characters and accents because of my background and who my best friend was.” In getting cast as the lead in Rocko’s Modern Life, Alazraqui was able to transition from performing standup comedy to becoming a much in-demand voiceover artist. Being able to return to square one as part of the Static Cling special has not only given the Los Angeles resident great joy, but a desire to have it live up to the show’s roots. “Characters that I’ve played since [Rocko] have been a bit more kid-oriented. But Rocko is just this sweet little eye of the hurricane,” he said. “My favorite part [of doing this] is playing someone that’s like Seinfeld— he’s subtle and doesn’t have all the laugh lines, but he’s the glue that holds it all together. Whereas the most challenging part is to try to get it true. I think the special Static Cling is more towards the first and second season of Rocko before the censors [came in]. The challenge was to make that happen again.”

Beanie Babies need no introduction; the craze was real. There was the friend who had more than 100, the friend who had only a few of their favorite animals and the friend who believed they would make millions in 20 years and kept theirs in plastic display boxes complete with tag protectors. Twenty five years later, Beanie Babies are still sold wherever stuffed animals can be found.

e all know that the ’90s was the greatest decade. Music, fashion and television were at its peak, and between singing along to “Wannabe” and dancing the Macarena, you probably played with a few of the most iconic toys to ever grace stores’ shelves. While many of these toys still exist today, nothing beats their original ’90s form.
Pokémon cards
You could always bet that recess would have hordes of kids sitting in a circle playing Pokémon. Still wildly popular today, Pokémon cards are still traded and played with by children around the world. With the advent of Pokémon Go, the franchise is more popular than ever, attracting people of all ages to go outside and catch some Pokémon of their own.
Tamagotchi
They beeped for your attention and you were more than happy to feed their insatiable stomachs and clean up their digital poop. They evolved into characters simultaneously strange and cute. If you went to school without it and forgot to put it on “pause,” you often came home devastated to find an egg with wings on your screen. They were Tamagotchis, and they were perhaps the greatest digital pet to ever be created.
Bop It
Whoever brought this toy to recess was instantly surrounded by a flock of children trying to bop, twist and pull their way to classroom stardom for being the best at Bop It. Sold today in new shapes and sizes with even more commands for nimble hands to master, Bop It is still a cult favorite.

Fact Versus Fiction
Cuomo and Nixon square off in heated debate for state governor BY ANTHONY MURRAY AND CHRISTINA CLAUS Editorial@antonmediagroup.com
It was his first debate in 10 years and her first debate ever, but last Wednesday at Hofstra University, Governor Andrew Cuomo and Cynthia Nixon butted heads about what was fact and what was fiction over a plethora of topics, including the state of the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA), single-payer health care and the legalization of marijuana. Nixon said the main reason why she was running for governor was due to the state’s education system. “New York has the second most unequal education system when it comes to funding in the entire country,” said Nixon, who is a graduate of the public school system. “I’m not an Albany insider like Governor Cuomo but I think that experience doesn’t mean that much if you’re not actually good at governing.”
When the topic of the MTA was brought up, both Cuomo and Nixon went back and forth on commuter frustrations, the progress of the MTA’s rescue plan and fare hikes. At first, Cuomo shifted blame for the state’s and nation’s crumbling infrastructure to President Donald Trump who Cuomo claimed failed to come through on his promise to fix America’s
infrastructure with a $1.5 trillion plan. “We now have the most aggressive rebuilding program in this state’s history and the most aggressive state program in the United States, [which is] over $100 billion,” said Cuomo. “We’re rebuilding the Long Island Rail Road on Long Island, LaGuardia Airport, JFK Airport, Penn Station, a new Javits Center and new airports in
upstate New York.” Cuomo said he would support the cancellation of the planned MTA fare hike because the service is not what people deserve. However, the funding would have to be a 50/50 effort between the city and the state. Nixon shot back saying that it was unconscionable that Cuomo would think about raising the fares on a system that is working so poorly and that she would absolutely cancel the plans for the fare hikes and have the state make up for the short fall. Nixon then accused the governor of using the MTA like an ATM. “My opponent lives in a world of fiction and I live in a world of fact,” Cuomo responded. One thing that both candidates agreed on was the legalization of marijuana. “Eight other states have done it, plus the District of Columbia,” explained Nixon. “First and foremost, it’s a racial justice issue. People across all ethnic

Andrew Cuomo and Cynthia Nixon face off in the televised debate. (Photos by Craig Ruttle of The Associated Press) and racial lines use marijuana at roughly the same rates, but the arrests for marijuana are 80 percent black and Latino.” With the added revenue from marijuana sales that would reach into the tens of millions of dollars, Nixon said the state could then invest in communities that have been targeted by allowing investments for job training and education programs. Cuomo responded that he has been working for the past 15 years to reform the Rockefeller drug laws and has worked to decriminalize low levels of

marijuana [arrests]. Cuomo, who has experimented with marijuana in the past as a college student, said that legalizing marijuana makes sense in the long run, but disagreed with Nixon about how the extra revenue should be spent. “I do believe that the benefits outweigh the risks,” said Cuomo. “That was the conclusion of a panel of experts on the topic.” In regard to the Tappan Zee Bridge, which is soon to be renamed the Mario Cuomo Bridge in honor of Cuomo’s late father, the current toll will remain
frozen until 2020. The toll change all depends on the overall finances of the state and the transportation system in the next two years. When asked whether both candidates support a single-payer Medicare health care system for all New Yorkers, Nixon said she would make the transition. “What we would have is a payroll tax in order to pay for it. It would be taken out of people’s payrolls the same way Social Security is taken out,” said Nixon. “It would be an overall savings for 98 percent of New Yorkers and it
would be an enormous savings for employers here. It is seen that it could create 200,000 jobs because employers would no longer be responsible for providing healthcare for employees. It would drive medical costs and pharmaceutical costs down 40 percent.” Cuomo explained that the transition alone would cost the state more than its current budget, stating that a single-payer system works in theory and in the long-term. “It is the right idea and it should be explored,” said Cuomo. “What we need to do is have a president who understands that health care is not a luxury, it is a human right and it would have to be done on the federal level.” Cuomo also said that he is looking to extend paid family leave from eight to 12 weeks and hopes to include a paid bereavement bill as well to protect workers. Nixon, who accused Cuomo of being forced into the law by labor, expressed her support for the rights of public sector workers, saying they will only strike when absolutely necessary. While Cuomo agreed organized labor is under attack, he disagreed that public sector workers should strike. The New York State primary is Thursday, Sept. 13.

The Return To Football
In what seems like a yearly affair for the NFL, this offseason has been riddled with negative headlines that makes the most popular league in the U.S. look like its losing its grip. In particular, we’ve seen continuing debates about the police brutality and racial injustice protests during the national anthem, which continues to be a talking point thanks in part to the White House fueling it. We’ve seen the implementation of a helmet rule that may lead to a drastic change in how the game is played, which is turning off many fans of the old school, violent game of the 20th century. We’ve seen an NFL owner step down after accusations of sexual harassment came to light. Couple all that with the growing concerns over TV ratings and the mounting research of CTE, and the NFL isn’t catching a break. Regardless of how angry I get at the NFL or issues surrounding it, I always try to take a step back and look at why I still want to watch the sport. Here’s why:
Exciting Rookies
This year’s draft class has a fascinating group of rookies that are sure to put on a show in the NFL this year. All eyes will be on the quarterbacks, as the New York Jets’ Sam Darnold is expected to start sooner rather than
GRIDIRON CHAOS Christopher Birsner
later and the Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen should follow suit. Baker Mayfield (Cleveland Browns), Josh Rosen (Arizona Cardinals) and Lamar Jackson (Baltimore Ravens) could also see the field this year. Among the notable non-quarterbacks include New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley, Denver Broncos linebacker Bradley Chubb and Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James.
Old Faces, New Places
Free agency was one of the most fascinating we’ve seen in years, as we saw big-name quarterbacks become the leaders of new teams. Former Kansas City Chief Alex Smith was traded to the Washington Redskins, where he replaces Kirk Cousins, who was the highly-coveted free agent that ended up in Minnesota. Meanwhile,
Cousins replaced the “Minneapolis Miracle” quarterback Case Keenum, who is now in Denver trying to get the team back to playoffs since its Super Bowl season. There’s other stunning team switches as well, from cornerback Richard Sherman becoming a San Francisco 49er, to receiver Jordy Nelson going from Green Bay to Oakland, to upcoming star corner Marcus Peters being traded to the Los Angeles Rams.
Coaching Carousel
Just like players moving around, there are plenty of coaching changes that occur during the offseason. This year, we will see the debut of 5 new head coaches that haven’t led a team before, and the return of familiar faces, such as Pat Shurmur getting his second head coaching stint with the Giants (first with the Browns). But the biggest name returning to the sideline is Jon Gruden, Super Bowl-winning head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who spent the last 10 years as an ESPN analyst. Now, he returns to the organization he first was head coach of, the Oakland Raiders, to help deliver the championship they never got with him in charge.
Comeback Season
We will see the return of many outstanding players after they were injured last season, including Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson and defensive end J.J. Watt, and receiver Julian Edelman to name a few. This offseason, we’ve gotten relatively lucky that most of the major names of the sport have not been injured yet. Let’s hope that trend continues into the regulars season.
Underdogs to Juggernauts
The Eagles went from a 6-10 record in 2016 to Super Bowl champions in 2017. This year, who knows what could happen? The Rams and Jacksonville Jaguars, who had been among the worst teams in the league for more than decade, turned things around last year and are now looking to break through as teams on their way to a championship. These teams are among the favored. Who could have an unexpected breakout year? Last place teams from 2017 like the 49ers, Giants, Texans and Chicago Bears could all shock in 2018. Don’t count out anyone. That’s what I love about this sport. The NFL is a league of chaos for a reason.

It is a constant mission to raise awareness for diseases across the medical board. From the well-known to the unknown and everything in between, it has become more and more difficult to spot illnesses like mesothelioma. The Mesothelioma + Asbestos Awareness (MAA) Center is an organization that attempts to bring attention to the dangers of asbestos exposure and asbestos-related diseases like mesothelioma. Sarah Wallace is a health advocate for the MAA Center and shed some light on the cancerous disease.
Q
What is your role with the Mesothelioma + Asbestos Awareness Center?
A
As a health advocate with the Mesothelioma + Asbestos Awareness Center, one of my main goals is to raise awareness about asbestos-related diseases. This is done primarily through outreach and collaboration efforts with other organizations, especially those invested in providing individuals and communities with information to protect public health and improve quality of life.
Q
Tell me about the MAA Center?
A
The MAA Center is an advocacy organization seeking to educate people about the dangers of asbestos exposure, connect mesothelioma patients with relevant experts, and act as a news source for mesothelioma and asbestos-related issues.
Q
What are some ways you garner attention for mesothelioma?
A
In addition to providing information, we seek to raise awareness by promoting multiple events throughout the year. Some of these include: ADAO’s Mesothelioma Awareness Month: Each September, the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) raises awareness about asbestos-related diseases, prevention and detection methods, and current progress toward finding a cure. Mesothelioma Awareness Day (MAD): Each year on Sept. 26, patients, survivors, loved ones, and organizations hold events to raise awareness about mesothelioma, the dangers of asbestos exposure, and the need to ban asbestos. This year marks the 14th annual Mesothelioma Awareness Day. Rare Disease Day: Rare Disease Day takes place on the last day of February.

Q
What are the consequences of asbestos exposure?
For mesothelioma, prognosis is often poor because the disease has a long latency period
’’
A rare disease is defined as a condition affecting fewer than 200,000 people a year. This includes rare cancers like mesothelioma, along with nearly 7,000 other conditions. Because these diseases are often misdiagnosed, patients can find themselves with a lack of treatment options. For this reason, organizations use Rare Disease Day to raise awareness and advocate for more clinical trials and studies dedicated to finding cures.
A
Asbestos is a naturally-occurring mineral that has been used in thousands of manufacturing and consumer products throughout history. In the past, asbestos was referred to as a “miracle” mineral because it is both heat and chemical resistant and extremely durable. Though it was used extensively in the United States through much of the 20th century, research has found that materials containing asbestos can cause serious health problems, especially when they are disturbed or damaged. When asbestos is disturbed, people can accidentally ingest or inhale the microscopic fibers. This may lead to serious health problems, including conditions like asbestosis, certain types of lung
cancers, and mesothelioma. For mesothelioma patients specifically, prognosis is often poor because the disease has a long latency period (anywhere from 10 to 50 years) and because symptoms are often misdiagnosed. Reaching a diagnosis is especially difficult for individuals who are not seen as having a direct link to asbestos exposure. Historically, asbestos was tied to male-dominated occupations like manufacturing and construction. However, because asbestos could be found in more than 3,000 consumer products at the height of its use and can be present in homes, schools, and public infrastructure today, everyone should understand the consequences associated with asbestos use and exposure.

Heart Health and Management According to reports, more than 5% of persons age 60 to 69 have Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). Heart failure is responsible for 11 million physician visits each year, and more hospitalizations than all forms of cancer combined. “Heart failure means that the heart isn’t pumping as well as it should be. Individuals who are diagnosed with Heart Failure and other related conditions have a higher risk of hospital admissions and readmissions without appropriate health care actions,” said Gilda St. Fleur, Senior Director, Quality Assurance & Clinical Management at AgeWell New York. Gilda reinforces that the key is management and prevention, and treatment plans may involve lifestyle changes, diet, exercise, medications, devices and surgical procedures. “At AgeWell New York, we’ve developed a Heart Failure Program to assist members with this condition and other related diagnoses to live healthy in the community. We’re giving them access to tools and resources and providing them with valuable information so they can make healthy decisions.” It is important to set goals to manage your health and involve all key people in your care coordination such as loved ones, your doctors and specialists, your health plan, and others you see necessary. Here are a few recommended tips to stay heart healthy: • Keep your blood pressure and cholesterol stable, avoid high sodium foods and eat lots of fruits and veggies. • Exercise daily and stay active. Incorporate low impact exercises such as walking, swimming, ta-chi, cycling, gardening or yoga. • Visit your doctors/specialists regularly. • Get all your annual screenings and immunizations and record any changes in your health to let your doctor know. • Take your medicines as your doctor prescribed. Talk to your doctor before you stop taking a medicine. Keep a list of all the medicines you take. Include your prescription medicines, vitamins, herbs, and medicines you buy at the store to ensure there’s no adverse interactions. The overall goal is to manage your condition and always take preventive measures. It’s also important to make sure you have a strong care team to help you identify risks, or changes in your health. If you’ve been diagnosed with HF, monitor your symptoms and let your doctor know if any new symptoms appear or if any symptoms get worse. If you think you may be at risk for HF, speak with your doctor right away.

All-Star Hospital Visit
Mets star Michael Conforto visits pediatric cancer patients New York Mets star Michael Conforto, a 25-yearold outfielder who was an All-Star last season, recently said that he wanted to lead by example. “If I am going to be a guy who is going to be sticking around,” said Conforto, “I’ve got to step into a little bit more of a leadership role.” While Conforto was talking about his role on the field, he’s been displaying plenty of leadership off the field. Today, “Scooter,” as he’s also known, visited dozens of youngsters at The Cancer Center for Kids (CCFK) at NYU Winthrop Hospital as well as its Children’s Medical Center. The visit was part of Conforto Cares, a program established by the player to raise awareness about pediatric cancer and the challenges faced by young patients. As part of the program, Conforto had already hosted young NYU Winthrop patients and their families at Citi Field, but Conforto wanted to do more; he wanted to come and see where the youngsters are being treated and spread sunshine and hope in these important places. “My goal is to bring cheer and inspiration to these young children while also raising the visibility of pediatric cancer and other childhood diseases,” said Conforto. “The Mets have been extremely supportive

of my efforts, caring deeply about their communities and helping me to give back. I hope to inspire these young patients to stay determined. If we, as a broader community, stay determined, maybe one day there will be more cures for childhood diseases.” Conforto distributed Mets t-shirts to the pediatric patients and family members. He also handed out pop-up replicas of the Mets home-run apple and presented autographed photos. The event followed on the heels of patients and family members visiting Citi Field last month at Michael Conforto’s invitation. During that outing, the youngsters were given a tour of the stadium and Mets clubhouse, and they were shown scoreboard operations including how to raise the home-run apple in centerfield. The children also enjoyed batting practice in the Mets batting cages and joined Conforto for lunch in the ballpark. Michael Conforto was so inspired by the spirit of these young patients during their visit that it prompted him to expand his program and initiate visits into the communities, such as the one held today. “Michael’s desire to create special experiences for these children and their families really makes a difference,” said Mark Weinblatt, MD, Chief of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at NYU Winthrop and Director
of the CCFK. “Children look up to professional athletes and meeting one like Michael Conforto and getting special memorabilia, it renews the vitality of these young patients and that’s so important.” “It’s a privilege to help these children forget about the rigors of their treatments and just enjoy being kids,” said Conforto. The Cancer Center for Kids at NYU Winthrop Hospital offers a range of early detection, diagnostic, intervention and treatment services, both inpatient and outpatient, for children’s cancers and blood disorders. Dramatic improvements have been made in pediatric cancer patient survival, with nearly 80 percent of children cured of their malignancies. Each CCFK patient receives the latest treatment regimens, and most participate in national protocols that serve to further the science and
treatment of childhood malignancies. Conditions treated at the Center include leukemia and lymphomas; bone, soft tissue and brain tumors; hemophilia; sickle cell disease and more. NYU Winthrop Hospital Children’s Medical Center offers broad-scoped inpatient specialty programs and services. The Medical Center also features a Child Life Program aimed at easing the fears and anxiety of children who are hospitalized, addressing their emotional needs through play, fun-filled activities, education and support. The Children’s Medical Center was recently named to U.S. News & World Report’s 2018-19 Best Children’s Hospitals rankings as one of the best Children’s Hospitals in the NY/ Metro area and for demonstrating excellence in the area of Pediatric Diabetes and Endocrinology. —Submitted by NYU Winthrop Hospital

just a two to three day sickness. Clinicians diagnose meningitis by performing a spinal tap, or lumbar puncture, that draws spinal fluid (also known as CSF), which is sent to a lab for testing. Based on the cell count and level of glucose and protein in the fluid we can determine whether the infection is due to a viral or bacterial cause. Treatment can include a broad spectrum antibiotics until the CSF culture incubates in the lab for 48 hours. After that time, if the culture is positive, antibiotics are continued and ultimately tailored to the exact infecting organism. If the culture is negative, the assumption is that the infection is viral meningitis, and we engage in symptom management rather than antibiotics. The extent of treatment can include rest, pain management, and hydration, all the way up to IV fluids and hospitalization. People who have viral meningitis typically recover well; treating bacterial meningitis is trickier, and is usually it’s more dangerous. If your child has symptoms that are concerning, an urgent medical evaluation is your best first course of action. The
earlier the diagnosis is made, the sooner physicians can make your child comfortable, regardless of final diagnosis. What can be done to prevent meningitis? Children should be immunized on the proper schedules to guard against H. Influenza type b, Neisseria Meningitidis, and the Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, which are all causes of bacterial meningitis. Some of these vaccines are given during infancy, and some are given in the preteen and teenage years. Viral meningitis is typically transmitted through aerosolized respiratory particles—basically, sneezing—and can be controlled by taking the same precautions that apply to regular viruses: coughing into the elbow, not sharing drinks with someone with a stomach bug and handwashing. Demystifying meningitis is important, to convert fears and misunderstanding into higher awareness and early recognition. That way, you can tell the difference between a summer bug and something far worse. Christina Johns, MD, is a pediatric urgent care spokesperson for PM Pediatrics

Enhanced visuals, easier-to-read text and more intuitive navigation will help visitors quickly find the latest resources on tobacco cessation. Messages throughout the website also encourage tobacco users and healthcare providers to talk to one another for greater chances of quit-success. “Cigarette smoking causes approximately 28,000 deaths statewide each and every year. Countless New Yorkers have used the Quitline to help them quit smoking. Besides the support of our trained Quit Coaches at 1-866-NY-QUITS, it’s critical for the Quitline to offer an effective 24/7 online resource in the fight against tobacco,” said Andrew Hyland, PhD, Chair of Health Behavior at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center and director of the Quitline. “Our website at www.nysmokefree.com has an entirely new look, refreshed materials and added resources, which will greatly help both those looking to break nicotine addiction and healthcare professionals who assist tobacco-using patients in the quest to achieve and maintain tobacco-free lives.” Visitors to the website will notice a new color scheme and a new logo, with the “Q” in “Quitline” resembling a no-smoking sign. In addition, a new Online News Room will help members of the media and healthcare providers stay informed about the latest tobacco cessation news in New York State. The Online News Room includes helpful tools such as an Experts Database, a sign-up form for e-newsletters and a press release archive.

How To Help Prevent Falls
Fall Prevention Day is Sept. 22 and while it is meant to raise awareness about how to prevent fall-related injuries among older adults, news articles seem to focus on the obvious: clearing obstructions in the house, being aware of loose wires and other tripping hazards, etc. When we think of those normally those prone to falling, we think of their physical deficits (being off-balance, tripping over things, etc.). But we do not consider the mental deficit, which is just as important: not being confident. Some older people are already in a negative mindset, thinking “when is my next fall going to occur?” instead of being mentally prepared for how they can prevent it, or what they can do if it does happen. Nassau native Bill Kraupner has been a physical therapist for more than 20 years with the Visiting Nurse Service of New York, and he makes sure to do comprehensive mental coaching along with providing Videotape your habits physical tips to encourage patients Kraupner had a patient with to plan ahead in their minds, so they Parkinson’s disease who was very know what they are capable of doing unsteady on his feet.

He could see himself before he made the simple safety corrections Kraupner taught him, during and after, so he could observe for himself the right away to do things, which allows the patient to mentally visualize everything and let it all sink in.
Don’t let your past falls scare you
Kraupner was the PT for a woman who fell two times in her kitchen, and was anxious to go into that room moving forward. He helped her mentally prepare herself by asking key questions to find out more and so she could truly understand what happened so she could go into the room feeling well equipped to handle it. Where did the fall occur? What happened? If it happened near the fridge, was the lighting too dark? Were you standing too far from the door?

faster, so be aware of how you’re moving. Take a second to think before you sit down somewhere—is it a chair with an armrest or not? (Should always have armrests).
Motivational words
Kraupner speaks to his patients in motivational phrases to help build confidence. He tells them “You are strong, you can do this” to help them believe in themselves and feel more comfortable caring for themselves.

Of course all of these efforts are to prevent you from falling, but if you still do fall, don’t panic. Take a moment to think ahead. Always have your life alert on you so you can call that when you fall. If you know you will be able to get up, make sure you know of a safe, stable area around you that you can use to help yourself up. In our minds we start panicking right away—but it only takes 15 seconds to take a breath and think about what you can do. —Submitted by the Visiting Nurse Service of New York

What Employers Need To Know About Value-Based Care BY DON STANGLER
specialsections@antonmediagroup.com
When employers evaluate health benefit plans for their employees, factors such as coverage, cost and customer service are typically cited as most important. However, companies in New York are looking for innovative ways to help improve employee health and more effectively manage costs, including adopting new value-based care approaches that put more emphasis on paying for patients’ actual health outcomes rather than just the number of tests or procedures they have.. Under value-based care arrangements, health care providers are paid for achieving certain quality outcomes and demonstrating that they’re improving people’s health, rather than getting paid solely for the number of services they provide to patients. Take back surgeries, which are becoming increasingly common in the United States due to an aging population and higher rates of obesity. Spinal
conditions – a major contributor to lost workplace productivity – account for 10 percent of overall health care costs, and quality and costs related to treatment of these conditions can vary widely among care providers. To help address that, a type of value-based arrangement known as “bundled payments” reimburses care providers under a single, set payment that is dispersed among all providers involved in that person’s care. They work to help provide quality outcomes within that “budget,” covering care before and after surgery. As a practical matter, patients receive one bill, helping to simplify the experience. This is a shift away from the traditional health care model in which a care provider is paid for each treatment, appointment or test, generating multiple claims for a single episode of care. In short, value-based care puts the patient at the center of the health care experience. It emphasizes the importance of keeping people healthy and rewards physicians for coordinating
care. For consumers and employees, value-based care is demonstrating real, tangible cost-savings and improved health outcomes. For employers, value-based care means a healthier workforce, better care for their employees and less money spent paying for employees’ medical bills. The bundled payment method, in particular, offers fixed and competitive prices, enabling employers to better manage and anticipate costs. For instance, a new UnitedHealthcare program with health care facilities nationwide, including NYC’s Hospital for Special Surgery is using bundled payments for knee, hip and spine procedures. So far, the program nationwide has helped reduce hospital readmissions by 22 percent and led to 17 percent fewer complications for joint replacement surgeries, as compared to nonparticipating facilities. For spine surgeries, hospital readmissions were reduced by 10 percent, and there were 3.4 percent fewer complications, as compared to
FULL RUN
nonparticipating facilities. Since the program’s introduction, participating employers have realized an average savings of $18,000 per operation when compared with median costs in the same metropolitan area. Eligible employees saved more than $3,000 in out-of-pocket costs per procedure when accessing a participating facility rather than another in-network medical facility. The shift toward these outcome-based payments and new benefit designs that focus on overall value is transforming how we pay for health care and how health care is delivered. Employers play an important role in bringing these new approaches to life by incorporating them into the benefits for the nearly 180 million Americans with commercial insurance. Value-based payment methods are helping make higher-quality and lower-cost care a reality. Don Stangler, MD, is the senior medical director of UnitedHealthcare NY
NYU Winthrop Hospital Receives Prestigious ‘Center Of Excellence’ Designation NYU Winthrop Hospital today announced that it has been designated a “Center of Excellence” by the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Association (HCMA), the preeminent patient advocacy association serving individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), their families, and those providing care to HCM patients. The HCMA provides support, education, advocacy and advances research on the condition, which involves a thickening of the muscles of the heart. HCM is most commonly known as the leading cause of sudden cardiac arrest in athletes. NYU Winthrop strives to prevent such untimely deaths and improve the lives of those with HCM. The NYU Winthrop HCM Center is one of 33 programs in the USA with this designation and one of only three hospitals in New York State to boast that distinction. NYU Winthrop’s affiliate, NYU Langone Health, also holds the HCMA Center of Excellence designation. “This is an exceptional distinction, having NYU Winthrop Hospital achieve the HCMA Recognized Center of Excellence designation, and it speaks volumes about the full-spectrum diagnostic and therapeutic
options we offer patients with HCM,” said Vijayapraveena Paruchuri, MD, director of NYU Winthrop Hospital’s HCM Center and director of the Hospital’s Adult Congenital Heart Center. “HCM is a multidisciplinary disease that requires far more than the expertise of one HCM specialist, and NYU Winthrop brings that multidisciplinary expertise to the fore, understanding how to manage complex cases including those of athletes and women with high-risk pregnancies.” The Hospital’s HCM Center is the “go-to” center for the diagnosis and multidisciplinary longitudinal management of individuals with HCM in the greater Long Island area. To achieve the Center of Excellence recognition, NYU Winthrop’s HCM program was required to possess
a highly experienced subspecialty team able to treat HCM and its many complex variations; provide the highest quality care to a large volume of HCM patients; possess advanced imaging and related technologies; and the Hospital had to display a dedication to research regarding HCM, among other factors in which the Hospital had to excel. “HCMA Centers of Excellence save lives every day through skilled diagnoses, preventative care and multidisciplinary HCM treatment. The HCMA is extremely pleased to add NYU Winthrop Hospital to our prestigious roster of Centers of Excellence,” said Lisa Salberg, Founder and CEO of the HCMA. Fundamental to achieving the designation of HCMA Recognized Center of Excellence, a medical center, such as NYU Winthrop, must offer a team with
subspecialty care experience so that rather than receiving just one physician’s opinion, patients have access to a group of clinicians with extensive exposure in the area of HCM. The HCM Center at NYU Winthrop not only collaborates closely with pediatric cardiology and general cardiologists but has the strong support of experts in advanced imaging, electrophysiology and implantable devices, interventional cardiology, cardiac surgery and genetic testing and counseling. In addition, Paruchuri’s HCM Center team works closely the hospital’s Division of Maternal Fetal Medicine, which is renowned for its expertise with high-risk pregnancies including those involving HCM. The disease can cause increased demands on a pregnant woman’s heart, and arrhythmias may also worsen during pregnancy. In addition, NYU Winthrop has a close collaboration with NYU Langone Health’s heart surgery programs, which allows NYU Winthrop to bring transplant services to patients with HCM, when a transplant is indicated. —Submitted by NYU Winthrop Hospital

early 60 high school students from Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk counties recently completed a rigorous multi-year, four-week summertime academic program offered by the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell designed to increase the diversity of the healthcare workforce by exposing young scholars to careers in the medical field. Celebrating its ninth year, the Zucker School of Medicine’s Medical Scholars Pipeline Program (MSPP) takes motivated, high-achieving students from underserved communities and provides mentoring, healthcare skills training, and college preparation to support them in the effort to become highly competitive applicants to undergraduate and graduate schools in medicine and other fields. To date, nearly 200 students have enrolled in the MSPP including 100 students who have completed the program. Of the graduates, 100 percent have matriculated into leading universities and beyond, an achievement that includes three MSPP alumni who are now medical students at the Zucker School of Medicine. “When applying to medical school, I remembered the relationships and nurturing mentors that I gained during my exposure in the pipeline program,” said MSPP graduate and second-year medical student, Britney Nathan, a resident of Hempstead. “I knew that I just could not leave.” This year’s pipeline program at the Zucker School of Medicine began June 27, 2018 and ended on July 19 with an inspirational closing ceremony featuring keynote speaker, cardiologist Luther T. Clark, MD, Deputy Chief Patient Officer, Global Director, Scientific Medical and Patient Perspective, and leader of the Patient Insight’s team at Merck Pharmaceutical. Clark is also a member of the Boulé Foundation, a fraternity for African-American professionals in healthcare and medicine “Increasing diversity [in medicine] is not only an important key to eliminating inequities in health care among communities of color but also to achieving overall excellence for the greater good,” said Clark in his address to MSPP participants and new graduates. “It is why we need a well-trained, qualified, culturally competent workforce that mirrors the diverse population it serves.” The Zucker School of Medicine MSPP works collaboratively with the Gateway Institute for Pre-College Education at The City College of New York to recruit and support minority

public school students in their higher education and health career goals. The initiative also includes branch programs at Northwell Health’s Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan and Southside Hospital in Bay Shore. For help in keeping the momentum through higher education, the School of Medicine has approximately 20 MSPP alums currently enrolled in The Northeast Regional Alliance (NERA) MedPrep, a free summer enrichment program for under-represented and economically disadvantaged college students interested in the medical field. The Zucker School of Medicine also hosts a summer pre-med Program for college students. “It’s a privilege to help these deserving young people discover and develop confidence in their
potential,” said Gina Granger, program manager for the Medical Science Youth Programs at the Zucker School of Medicine. “From high school to college and career, we offer guidance and support for each step of the journey—and it’s working for our students.” At the Zucker School of Medicine, generous donor support allows MSPP student to participate in a variety of courses and enrichment activities, including information sessions and campus tours at Hofstra University and Stony Brook University as well as an educational excursion to the Oyster Bay Marine Education Center. First-year participants obtain CPR/AED certification, while high school junior and senior students receive academic assistance from a professional college consultant and complete P/SAT test prep courses. Rising college students round out their MSPP experience by completing a “mini medical school” based on Zucker School of Medicine’s innovative curriculum called Patient Explorations in Active Learning Reason and Synthesis (PEARLS), a student-driven course that uses problem- and case-based learning scenarios as a forum for active reasoning, collaboration, and discussion. Students also spend time serving as volunteers in the PEACE (Patient Engagement and Communication Enhancement) program at Northwell Health-Long Island Jewish Medical
Center and participate in an initiative with Northwell’s Monter Cancer Center designed to teach ways to connect and communicate with patients dealing with cancer treatment and chronic illness. “The lessons I learned will truly last a lifetime. My time as a pipeline student can be compared to that of a good book—I never wanted it to end,” said George Rosario in his moving address as a member of the MSPP Class of 2018. “If we can create more programs like this one, minorities in medicine will not just be a catchy slogan but a movement progressing toward an exciting new future.” Rosario, a new alumnus of Benjamin Cardozo High School in Bayside, NY, will be attending the CUNY School of Medicine/ Sophie Davis Biomedical Education Program this fall along with several MSPP graduates. In fact, all of his 13-member graduating class will head off to college with a combined scholarship tally of nearly $400,000, including two students who received full rides to Yale University and Brooklyn College. Special thanks to the Pinkerton Foundation, the Shippy Foundation, the Boulé Foundation, New York Smart Set, and Dr. Thelma DyeHolmes for their generous support of the Zucker School of Medicine’s Medical Scholars Pipeline Program. —Submitted by Hofstra/Northwell

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A cleaning and organizing effort will be a stellar way to start the week. The endeavor will not only make your external life more organized, it will also make the inner structures of your thought process sparkle and shine. Everything you get involved in this week will be favorably affected. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). In Egyptian hieroglyphics, the ear is an often-used symbol for imploring the gods to hear the prayers of mortals. If the ear were a letter in your alphabet, you might use it often this week, too. The attention of higher ups could make a huge difference toward reaching your goals. How can you make them listen? GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Most of this week shows you in a spontaneous and generous mood. You’ll certainly keep the others on their toes, as they’ll quickly learn not to make assumptions about you. Your company is a treat. Maybe they’ll get an entertaining story, or maybe they’ll get their needs met and their wishes granted. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The landscape of your life has changed. The change happened while you were looking right at things, only it happened so gradually that you couldn’t detect it. And now, you’ll have fun discovering what’s new. After some exploring, you’ll find it’s best to adjust your expectations according to what you learn. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Younger people need to be selfish. It’s a normal part of human development. They are charged with creating their own sense of identity, which cannot be accomplished without a degree of self-centeredness. Whatever your age, this fact of youth will have impact as you, or people you love, set out to build a life. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A good dentist never pulls her own teeth, and a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client. You would be wise to consult other trusted experts to handle a part of your life this week, too. Sure, you could do it yourself if you really had to, but that doesn’t mean you should. Let others work and advocate for you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What you call things matters. Hunger moves when you call it fasting. A friendship changes when you use the word romance. The same cuts of surgery are feared or desired, depending on whether they are called necessary or elective. Your mood will lift when you give something a new name this week. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re ready to get into a new way of of thinking about your situation. For this to happen, you’ll have to let some old thoughts die. It’s the way to intellectual levity. Emotional and spiritual benefits will follow in the wake. The weekend brings a rebirth of sorts. You’ve done this before, but this one is really special. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The gymnast aims to “stick the landing” i.e. to end the acrobatic move with both feet planted firmly on the ground without a stumble, fall or adjustment. Paradoxically, learning this kind of certainty can only come from stumbling, falling and adjusting. Be patient with yourself as you bumble toward certainty. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). So many are involved in the argument that it seems like attendance is mandatory. While you don’t want to risk being left out of the culture, isn’t the fighting ridiculous? It’s like blind men arguing over the colors of a rainbow. Stay out of it, and you’ll have time to devote to a burgeoning new interest. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). While some friendships are like fashion that comes and goes with the seasons, you devote yourself to the sort of bonds that never go out of style. You’ll focus on relationships that, like classic jeans, have suffered wear and tear over time and are somehow better for it -- softer, more comfortable and more valuable. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Knowing everything about the way clouds are formed will never be enough to know the particular shape any cloud will take. Similarly, you’re not going to know the result of this project until you finish it. So revel in the suspense and keep working. You’re in for experiencing something you couldn’t have predicted.

FOOD FLASHBACK
When Snacking Was Extreme BY STEVE MOSCO SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
A
s the sun was setting on the 1980s and that decade of hideous fashion and terrible music was mercifully coming to an end, the 1990s were brewing just below the surface, getting ready to unleash a radical tide of culture that was certainly all that and a bag of chips. Beyond grunge music and flannel shirts, the ’90s bestowed upon the masses the most extreme snacks that had every been conceived. It was a
glorious time of snack innovation, just before lame parent groups stuck their noses in to suck all the fun out of food with their bogus nutritional concerns. What follows is a salute to some of the best treats that could be found in a kitchen cabinet in the 1990s—when even the package design was hella cool.
Dunkaroos Is there anything more innately ’90s than slam dunking a cartoon kangaroo into a glob of frosting? I submit that there is not. Gifted to the masses
by Betty Crocker, Dunkaroos came in chocolate and vanilla varieties throughout the decade before hopping into oblivion. Somewhat surprisingly, these snacks held on until 2012, according to Wikipedia, though memory tells me they disappeared far earlier than that. There are currently no plans to reintroduce the snack time phenomenon to American markets, but the product can be found (a tad expired) on eBay.
Doritos 3Ds Doritos really did not need any special treatment, other than perhaps more Cool Ranch seasoning on the Cool Ranch variety. But the ’90s brought an inflated version of the tortilla chip to consumers, with the crunchy and airy confabulation capturing the appetite of teens who craved the totally extreme new horizons of three full dimensions. Somewhat reminiscent of Bugles, these snacks crunched out of existence in the mid-2000s, when snacking culture was ready to return to merely two dimensions.
Oscar Meyer’s shrewd plan to get kids to eat more lunch meat reached its apex in the 1990s with a box of saturated fat and sodium that would surely make the less fortunate school-age denizens of the cafeteria green with envy. Lunchables launched around 1989 and though it was basically just meat and crackers, it proved to be the must-get-treat for the coolest of kids. And in the mid’90s, childhood obesity be damned, Lunchables offered the “Maxed Out” variety that included 40 percent more food than regular Lunchables. This one is still around today, but with much healthier options it is a shell of its former self.

Surge 178081 D
The shining example of what an “extreme” beverage should be, Surge was Coca-Cola’s answer to Pepsi’s Mountain
20180907_XAL_LNW_PG00-12:49August31,2018
Dew drink. The greenish, yellowish toxic-looking, vaguely citrus liquid was perfect for kids who were too cool to be seen guzzling Sprite and the package design was the visual equivalent of being punched in the face by words and colors. Clearly America craves this hardcore drinking experience, as Surge was reintroduced into some convenience stories around 2015 and as of this year, you can find the beverage at Burger King—which is perfect as Surge pairs wonderfully with a Whopper.
Squeezit More from the neon drink department, Squeezeit was the ultimate way to shotgun sugary liquid straight to your ’90s brain. Sold in bottles featuring gnarly cartoon faces, this juice truly represents the glory of its decade as it came in flavors like “Rockin’ Red Puncher,” “Mean Green Puncher” and “Chucklin’ Cherry.” As if that was extreme enough, some varieties came with color-changing pellets that allowed the drinker to magically change his or her beverage experience.
Fruitopia Hey man, have you ever considered that all living things are connected by an all-knowing, most-peaceful vibe and that we are all ruled by one righteous power that does not punish or judge? If so, you might have achieved beverage enlightenment, especially if you were one of the lucky ones who enjoyed Fruitopia in the ’90s. With trippy names like Citrus Consciousness, Strawberry Passion Awareness and Grape Beyond, Fruitopia quenched spiritual thirst with whimsy and wisdom—packaged and sold by mega-corporation Coca-Cola. Bogus!
Bagel Bites “Pizza in the morning, pizza in the evening, pizza at suppertime—when pizza’s on a bagel, you can eat pizza anytime.” Such was the siren song of Bagel Bites
11
LongIslandWeekly.com • September 5 - 11, 2018 • Published By Anton Media Group • To Advertise Call: 516-747-8282
27A
Throwback treats from the 1990s that were and will always be radical in 1996, practically telling kids that “hey, if it’s on a bagel, eat it whenever the hell you want, you rockstar.” This snack is still alive today and with good reason, as it is one of the greatest frozen food inventions of the 1990s or any other decade for that matter.
Totino’s Pizza Rolls Same as Bagel Bites, Pizza Rolls exploded in popularity in the ’90s and are very much still alive today. This was perhaps the perfect after-school treat and was best eaten while
watching Bob Ross reruns in order to decompress after a particularly stressful day in class. Cook in the oven, as these beauties transform into poisonous gross monsters if cooked in the microwave and also proceed with caution—the insides are lava hot and will irrevocably scorch your mouth.
Candy, Candy, Candy The ’90s were loaded with sugary candy. Airheads are probably the most closely associated with the decade, along with Baby Bottle Pops and a
seemingly never-ending parade of gummis, including blue sharks, blue raspberry rings, gummi hot dogs and hamburgers, and gummi peach rings. Then there’s the inexplicably popular chocolate Wonder Ball, which were filled with Sweet Tart-like candies.
Lay’s WOW Chips
As the decade drew to a close in 1998, Frito-Lay had the gall to release WOW Chips using the Lay’s, Ruffles, Doritos and Tostitos brands. These chips were meant to be a healthier, fat-free chip
option for snackers who had perhaps snacked too much during the early days of the ’90s. The one wrinkle with these chips was that instead of fat, they contained olestra, which has the decidedly hard-to-market side effect of anal leakage. Two years after premiering, the Food and Drug Administration ruled that all bags of WOW chips must bear the warning: “This Product Contains Olestra. Olestra may cause abdominal cramping and loose stools.” A fitting end to the carefree ’90s, as well as a fitting introduction to the stool-loosening 2000s.

THE SPORTS DESK
Top Sports Moments Of The 1990s BY JOSH ROTHSTEIN EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
T
he ’90s were a decade filled with many memorable sports moments. There were a lot of highs that left the world cheering and a fair share of lows that left us all stunned.
Wide Right (1991)
Nancy Kerrigan Attacked (1994) Prior to the 1994 Winter Olympic games in Lillehammer, Norway, a scandal within the United States Women’s Figure Skating team became one of the
worst in U.S. Olympic history. Skater Tonya Harding’s ex-husband contracted a hit man to break teammate Nancy Kerrigan’s right leg to give Harding a step up within the ranks. Kerrigan was attacked in Detroit on Jan. 6, 1994, just over a month before the games were
190585B
It all came down to a 46-yard field goal attempt. An entire NFL season on the right leg of Buffalo Bills kicker Scott Norwood. The kick sailed wide right of the goal post and the New York Giants grabbed the Lombardi Trophy from the jaws of defeat. The 20-19 final score and the heart-pounding ending to a classic game was something the country desperately needed. The game started with one of the most powerful performances of the National Anthem by Whitney Houston and ended with a nail-biting moment for the ages that is still talked about today. To top it off, the missed kick sent Buffalo into agonizing tailspin that would see the Bills lose the next three Super Bowls in a row.
20180907_XAL_LNW_PG00-12:49August31,2018
to begin. The hit man heavily bruised Kerrigan’s right leg, but she recovered enough to place second in Lillehammer. Harding pleaded guilty to a number of charges, most notably being aware of the plot to injure Kerrigan. Harding was banned from the U.S. Figure Skating Association and stripped of a prior championship.
Rangers Win First Cup in 54 years (1994) The New York Rangers have four Stanley Cups to their name, but three
13

of the them came before the outbreak of World War II. In fact, the Rangers didn’t even make the finals between 1940 and 1993. Finally, in 1994, after brushing aside the New York Islanders and Pittsburgh Penguins, the Rangers and rivals New Jersey Devils played a thrilling seven game series. With New Jersey up 3-2 in the series, Mark Messier guaranteed a victory, and he almost single-handedly followed through on his guarantee, scoring three points in a 4-2 victory in Game 6. This set up a seventh game and an overtime winning goal by Stephane Matteau to send the Rangers
to their first cup in 54 years. New York would go on to win the championship against the Vancouver Canucks.
Chicago Bulls Dynasty (1991-1998) Led by one of the best players of all time in Michael Jordan, the Chicago Bulls dominated basketball for almost all of the 1990s. Jordan, with the help of Scottie Pippen and Hall of Fame coach Phil Jackson, combined to win six championships in two sets of threepeats, from 1991-93 and 1996-98. Had
it not been for Jordan’s first retirement, lasting from October 1993 until March 1995, the Bulls may have won even more during that period. Nonetheless, the undefeated 6-0 finals record with Jordan, winning six in eight years, cements the Bulls as one of sports’ greatest dynasties.
Joe Carter Brings Glory Back to the North (1993) In 1993, Joe Carter created an all-time moment when he hit a walk-off home run that won the Toronto Blue Jays
29A
the World Series. That was only the second time in league history a World Series has been won via walk-off home run and the first since 1960. Having defeated the Atlanta Braves the year prior, Toronto was vying for back-toback World Series victories but trailed the Philadelphia Phillies 6-5 in the bottom of the ninth with the Phillies on the verge of sending the series to a decisive seventh game. With runners on first and second and one out, Carter crushed a line drive over the left field wall to keep the World Series trophy north of the border for another year.

Tattoo necklaces

JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
L
ike many decades before it, fashion is merely nothing more than a trend. While some pieces are classic to a wardrobe, others cycle in and out over the years. The ’90s, for one, are back. Along with the return of choker necklaces, dusters, slides and an influx of denim, ’90s fashion has returned to runways and retail stores. For this writer, who grew up in the ’90s and forever wishes she could fit into peasant blouses and velvet dresses, saving my would-be iconic fashion statements would have been ideal. Then again, do I really want to go back to wearing butterfly clips in my hair and Jellies sandals? Check out our list for ’90s fashion staples and see what you would wear today.
Every girl had the classic stretch tattoo choker necklace in black and a plethora of other colorful choices, but the whole goal of this accessory was to make it look like you had a tattoo... around your neck, or ankle, or wrist or wherever you chose to wear it. Velvet choker necklaces with a pearl or pendant hanging off of it were also popular.
Mules/Clogs/Slides If only I had saved my slinky, black Steve Madden mules, sigh. The Spice Girls gave us a love of platform shoes, and while a few of those popped up here and there, this spring and summer saw the return of the slide, a comfortable and on the go but fashionable slip on sandal. The mule, a covered slide, will also continue to make a statement come fall.
Bra strap headbands and butterfly clips We have Friends to thank for one of the most famous haircuts of all time, The Rachel, and aside from bold highlights for girls and frosted tips for guys, hair accessories also had a moment. Bra strap headbands were the self-explanatory answer to a thin wraparound headband that still looked sleek (I thankfully, still have mine). And if your head wasn’t adorned in a colorful crown of butterfly clips, did you even grow up in the era?
Denim
Tube Tops Tiny tops were all the rage back in the ’90s from crop tops to tube tops. The latter was a must for any wardrobe and was usually accessorized with a chunky necklace or oversized earrings. Go from day to night with ease with the bonus of avoiding those strappy bathing suit tanlines while outdoors. (Photo by Forever21)

JNCO, a Los Angeles, CA based clothing company that specialized in boys’ and men’s jeans may have been founded in 1985, but JNCO Jeans were all the rage in the ’90s. The baggy wide leg look was embraced by both boys and girls. The denim trend continued in the early 2000s when Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake became the King and Queen of denim when they debuted their matching Canadian tuxedos at the 2001 American Music Awards, a moment that solidified their couple status in Hollywood history. And let’s not forget the importance of a good denim jacket.

Dusters We have Clueless to thank for plaid school girl outfits, knee high socks and jumpers, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer gave us spaghetti strap tank tops, midriffs and leather pants. But what about the duster? Appropriately named as they were long enough to dust the floor when you walked by, long cardigan sweaters that tied at the waist were a must in your closet. It also completed the jean and crop top look with platform shoes that was so very in.
