A Million Little Things James Roday gets serious in new ABC drama

By Betsy Abraham babraham@antonmediagroup.com

or eight seasons, James Roday made audiences laugh as he pulled over-the-top antics and got away with everything but murder as a keenly observant police consultant posing as a psychic on Psych. With excellent delivery, a penchant for physical humor and a steady flow of ’80s references, Roday put his comedic chops on full display. But this fall, Roday returns to the small screen to take on a more dramatic role, as a breast cancer survivor dealing with the loss of a friend on ABC’s A Million Little Things. Roday, who has spent the last several years sitting happily in the director’s chair, said getting back in front of the camera was a worthy call due to the authenticity of the script. “The script was so good and the characters were so real. My part in particular was addressing something I had never heard of before,” said Roday. “I spent the better part of the last decade acting a fool and doing a lot of silly stuff, so this was an opportunity to flip the script and do something I thought had real potential to move the needle.” For the show’s executive producer DJ Nash, the story of A Million Little Things—about a group of friends reconnecting and dealing with their friend’s suicide—is personal. Nash, a comedy writer, was inspired to pen the show after losing his own friend to suicide, an event that inspired him to live a more meaningful life. The personal nature of the story

(Photo courtesy of ABC/Jack Rowand) made Nash, as well as the rest of the cast and crew, treat the story and topic of suicide with intense care, notes Roday. “When you’re dealing with these kinds of things, since it hit so close to home, I had enough confidence we would be dealing with it very responsibly and thoughtfully,” Roday said. The show isn’t just about luring viewers in with hot button issues, Roday said, rather, it aims to bring to life important and relevant stories, be it suicide, depression, cancer, sobriety or myriad other topics.

“That’s why you do what we do, in the hopes of helping people feel like they’re not alone,” he said. “If that’s making them laugh their butts off, that counts and if it’s something cathartic or healing, that also counts.” On the show, Roday plays Gary, a breast cancer survivor who is waiting to see if his cancer has returned. The story of a man suffering from breast cancer—reality for about 2,000 men each year in the U.S.—is one not often told and for Roday, taking on the role was eye-opening. “Breast cancer has affected every woman I know, but the truth is that men get it too,” Roday noted, adding that viewers will get a look into the emotional baggage and stigmas the diagnosis carries for his character. “We’re starting at the beginning of [Gary’s] journey. We’re going to be able to follow that trajectory and the highs and lows. That’s the sort of portrait you want to paint: this is what it is, this is real and for anyone who’s been affected or going through it, you’re not alone.” As he deals with his cancer, Roday’s character must also cope with the sudden loss of his friend. The suicide of Jon Dixon (played by Ron Livingston) inspires the friends to not only lean on each other but form a closer bond. It’s a wake-up call for the group, which vows to start living their best lives.

20180914_XAL_LNW_PG00-1:19September10,2018

For Roday, that overarching theme was a poignant one. “Every time something traumatic happens, the immediate reaction is ‘I’m so deeply affected that starting tomorrow, I’m going to live differently.’ We keep that promise for a month, maybe two months…but time is funny in that it can heal us and help us forget, and then before we know it we’re right back to doing the same old shit we were doing,” Roday said. “We always say it and never stick to it and I’m no exception. For me the wake-up call was the truth of that statement. How do you figure out a plan to become the best version of yourself and stick to it?” And while Roday’s newest venture finds him delving into drama—a genre the classically trained actor is well-equipped and experienced to navigate—he says he hopes to return to the pineapple-ridden Psych set soon. Psychos, as fans of the show are called, will just have to wait for it. “We all want to do at least one more [movie]. The appetite is still there,” said Roday. “The obstacle is getting everyone’s schedule to align, but it’s not for lack of trying and lack of desire. And the one thing you can expect, when, not if, it comes back, is a heck of a lot more Lassiter for your money.” A Million Little Things debuts on ABC Sept. 26 at 10 p.m.

hen A Million Little Things debuts on ABC on Sept. 26, it’ll highlight the importance of friendships, particularly during times of tragedy. And while the ABC dramedy brings a unique spin to the relationships we have in our lives, it certainly won’t be the first show to put the spotlight on a group of friends. Here are some friend groups in the TV cosmos that we wish we could share BFF necklaces with.

The League

There’s something about sports that can bring people of all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds together—a fact that the loud and rowdy cast of The League knows full well. United by their love of fantasy football, these ultra-competitive friends don’t care about hurting each other’s feelings or putting their debauchery on full display. While friends like this would be a hit to the confidence in real life, they do make for funny television. (Photo source: The League Facebook page)

The Golden Girls

What happens when three widows and a divorcée share a house in Miami? Ultimate hilarity. Dorothy, Blanche, Rose and Sophia may be up in age, but they’re still young-at-heart as they seek romance, careers and happiness in their senior years. And while the four ladies were completely different, their friendship was, well…golden.

New Girl

What started as a response to a Craigslist ad turns into a full-fledged, lifelong friendship for Jessica Day and the boys in apartment 4D. Jess, Nick, Schmidt and Winston not only have each other’s backs, but they also bring out the best in each other, even though sometimes it’s a reluctant and over-the-top process. And plus, who would ever say no to playing True American with this group? (Photo source: New Girl Facebook)

Seinfeld

It’s a show about nothing, but if it had to be about something, it would be about four friends who are overly involved in each other’s lives. Between arguing about the best way to say that they were thirsty, waiting for a table at a Chinese restaurant and getting lost in parking garages, the Seinfeld gang found a way to make the mundane moments in life seem interesting.

Friends

Probably no group is more synonymous with a small-screen friendship than the gang from Friends, who together tackled relationships, jobs, parenthood and the highs and lows of living in New York. From weddings to holidays to pregnancies to blackouts, the six go through all of life’s big and small moments together, with plenty of snark and heart-warming moments to make this one of the most quote-worthy shows on television.

Darius Rucker: Just A By DAVe GIL De rUBIO

dgiLderubio@antonmediagroup.com

hange can be scary and when it comes to careers, no more so than when it comes to the fickle nature of the music industry, where there are no guarantees. But for Darius Rucker, the creative transition he made into full-fledged country music star is one that started a decade ago and one that is continuing to go full throttle. Last year saw the release of When Was the Last Time, his seventh studio album and the fifth country music record he’s released since putting out Learn to Live in 2008. Ten years in, Rucker has been fully embraced by the Music Row community, a development no more fully realized than the fact that he was asked to join the Grand Ole Opry about five years ago. Currently on tour with co-headliners Lady Antebellum and opening act Russell Dickerson, the South Carolina native doesn’t take the honor lightly, particularly given how driven he’d been to become a country artist following a ridiculously

successful run being the front man for 1990s roots-rock band Hootie & the Blowfish. “Hootie talked about playing the Opry for so long and we never got a chance to do it. The first time I played was when my first single [‘Don’t Think I Don’t Think About It’] was out—I still remember that time vividly. It was amazing to be there and to be a part of that and to know that I was getting a little foothold into country music and getting to play the Grand Ole Opry, you’re about to do that,” he recalled. “I dedicated myself to the Opry instantly. I told my management that I wanted to play the Opry as much as I can and I did. I still play a lot, of course. Four or five years ago when they came and asked me to become a member, it meant so much to me. It meant that I wasn’t just being accepted, but that I was part of country music. It was amazing.” Having already topped the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts a number of times, Rucker was looking to change things up for his most current studio

outing. For this go-round, he changed gears from longtime friend Frank Rogers and instead tapped Ross Copperman (Keith Urban/Kenny Chesney) to produce. Rucker wound up having When

Was the Last Time debut at No. 8 on the Billboard US 200 (his fifth Top 10 album) and also saw simultaneously it land at No. 2 on the Top Country Albums chart as well. While the first two singles, the semi-autobiographical ballad “If I Told You” and the ebullient follow-up “For the First Time” both topped the Billboard Country Airplay chart, the third single, a cover of “Straight to Hell” holds special meaning for Rucker. A fan of Drivin’ N’ Cryin’ and the song since it was released on the band’s 1989 album Mystery Road, he had wanted to record the song for quite some time and it was a sentiment held by close friend and Lady Antebellum founding member Charles Kelley who suggested the same to his tour mate. “I’ve been wanting to record that since I came to Nashville. I go back to 1989 when that song was released and loving it so much. I thought about cutting it on pretty much every record that I’ve put out,” Rucker explained. “So I was making this record when Charles Kelley texted me out of the blue and said he was just listening to Drivin’ N’ Cryin’ and he thought I should cut that ‘Straight to Hell’ song.

There’s nobody smoother than Lyle Lovett. There’s this one song called, ‘Flyswatter’ and he opens up with, ‘Honey put down that flyswatter/ And pour me some ice water.’ I just think that vocal is so perfect, it’s unbelievable.” Visit www.longislandweekly.com to read a fuller version of this sidebar.

t A Little Bit Country said, ‘Dude, I’ve been thinking about cutting that for 10 years now.’ His next text was to say that I should let him sing on it too. That’s where that all started. Cutting it with Jason [Aldean] and Luke [Bryan] made it a totally different kind of thing. It became a big old fun drinking song.” Fans can expect the upbeat vibe of Rucker’s latest single to carry over to the stage when they come out to see him. Having cut his teeth on the college circuit when he was coming out of South Carolina with Hootie & the Blowfish, it’s the only way Rucker knows how to perform live. “We have a large party man. Our shows are high energy and a lot of fun. Playing with Lady Antebellum every night you have to go and deliver because those guys are going to deliver,” he said with a laugh. “It’s a great show. I love watching them and I love watching Russell [Dickerson]. If you come out and see us and you like the music at all, you’ll leave there very happy, I promise.”

Oscar Season Is Here By ChrIstOPher BIrsNer

cbirSner@antonmedaigroup.com

ow that we’re entering the final few months of 2018, award season is about to be underway. And there’s no award show that’s as big as the Academy Awards. Before the 91st edition of the ceremony in February, there are plenty of films coming out that deserve our attention as potential Best Picture contenders. Here’s a look at just a few that can win the Oscar.

Black Panther

Marvel films have a tendency to not get much love during the Oscars, but Black Panther—although it is out on DVD and Blu-ray already—may break that barrier after shattering many others since its opening weekend. The movie revolves around T’Challa, played by Chadwick Boseman, being crowned the king of the fictional African country of Wakanda. But when his nephew, Killmonger, played by Michael B. Jordan, looks to claim the throne and force the country out of isolationism, T’Challa must figure out a way to get his crown back.

Beautiful Boy

Directed by Felix Van Groeningen from a screenplay written by himself and Luke Davies, Beautiful Boy is a story about dealing with addiction based off the best-selling novel of the same name by David Sheff. The film focuses on Sheff, played by Steve Carell, as he watches his son, Nic, played by Timothée Chalamet, struggle with overcoming a methamphetamine addiction. The film will be released nationwide on Oct. 12.

An Inside Look: MGM’s Historical Spy Thriller Operation Finale Operation Finale, the new historical spy thriller, is based on the true story of the mission to capture Nazi war criminal Adolph Eichmann. Fifteen years after the end of World War II, Israeli Intelligence mounted a top-secret mission to abduct Eichmann, who had fled to Argentina after Germany’s defeat, where he was living in Buenos Aires with his family. Head of the Gestapo’s Jewish Affairs division during World War II, Eichmann was the architect of Hitler’s “Final Solution” to eradicate European Jewry, responsible for orchestrating the deportation and transportation of Jews to ghettos and concentration camps. To ensure historical authenticity, film director Chris Weitz relied on the expertise of Avner Avraham, a former Mossad agent and world authority on the Mossad. Avraham, who turned his love of history into a second career as museum exhibitor, lecturer, and writer, spoke about his role as film consultant, and the exhibition he curated on the mission: Operation Finale: The Capture and Trial of Adolph Eichmann. In 2011, as Mossad Communications Officer, Avraham mounted a small exhibition on Eichmann’s capture at agency headquarters. “I found all the original items: papers, passports, maps,” he said. “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saw it and asked if it could be shown to the Israeli public, and so it was shown in the Israeli Parliament for a month, and then it was moved to the Museum of the Jewish people in Tel Aviv.” Avraham then curated a 5,000 square foot exhibition for American audiences detailing the mission, including more than 100 documents, records, photographs, videos, and equipment— including the original bulletproof glass booth in which Eichmann sat during the trial, that has traveled the country. As memories of the war fade, and the population of Holocaust survivors dwindles, Avraham sees Operation Finale as a spy movie with a famous cast that both entertains and educates its audience about the Holocaust. “I feel it is my mission, to tell the story of the Holocaust in a different way,” Avraham said. “People don’t wake up in the morning and say, ‘It’s a lovely day, let’s go to a Holocaust museum.’ The different way is to show a Hollywood movie about the Mossad, and when people see the movie, they laugh, that’s the idea. So last year, when I found out there was a movie based on my exhibition name, I contacted Fred Burger and Chris Weitz. He came to Chicago to see the exhibit, and decided to make me an advisor to the movie. I started with photo research, then I came to the set and I was there most of the time. Even without changing the script, I helped them to make the movie very close to the reality.” After Israeli Intelligence confirmed that the man living under the alias “Ricardo Klement” in

Argentina was Eichmann, the Mossad and Israeli Security Agency, Shin Bet launched the mission, “Operation Finale.” “After they prove this is the same guy, the agents come from different places to Argentina. When we made the movie I saw that everybody has “Air France:” on their suitcases, and I said, ‘Hey, you can’t all use the same passports,” said Avraham. “So we changed it to Luftansa and the other airlines used in the operation.” After he was held for 11 days in a safe house, Eichmann was smuggled aboard an El Al plane, disguised as a crew member. “In one scene, a Mossad agent is putting the visa on a passport. When the El Al Plane landed in Argentina, one of its crew was a Mossad agent who came looking like Eichmann,” said Avraham. “The idea was to alter his passport and send Eichmann instead of him back. So in the movie they showed the passport with the original picture of the agent, and you see how the Mossad removed the picture of the agent and inserted the picture of Ben Kingsley (who plays Eichmann). I’m proud, because it is a

way to honor one of our agents.” Avraham added that there are two characters in the film who are Holocaust survivors played by actors, and that he used the actual concentration camp identification numbers of real people, not just fake numbers. Avraham was an extra in two scenes. “They shot a scene that was supposed to be a café in Israel. I’m sitting next to Oscar Isaac (who plays agent Peter Malkin), and we are playing cards, and there is Israeli music, and on the wall the name of the café is my son,” Avraham said. “In another scene, I’m coming to the Eichmann trial. There are hundreds of people waiting outside the courtroom in a long line, and I’m the first one who enters, and then Oscar Isaac, and the policeman who talks with Oscar is my voice—they took my voice. It’s the first time I found I have an Israeli accent: usually its not good, but for the movie it was good.” During Eichmann’s trial, which was televised worldwide, 99 Holocaust survivors testified, many speaking publicly for the first time, about the atrocities they witnessed. Eichmann was convicted and hanged on May 31, 1962, for crimes against the Jewish people. The trial had a profound impact on Israeli society, changing peoples’ perception of survivors as victims, to heroes. “Eichmann used to say he was a small cog in the machine, but actually he was the machine. I cannot say something good about Eichmann, but he was a good example of a Nazi. He was exactly what Israel needed for the trial. He was involved with most of the camps. He was in charge of all the train systems. He was the architect of the Holocaust. He was in charge of the schedules. He got letters, requests: ‘Please release this one, because he is a scientist, we need him for our war machine.’ But he wouldn’t listen,” said Avraham. “It’s like if you have a mouse in your house, and you cannot go to bed without finding all of them —if there was another one you would find it. That was Eichmann. So he was the machine.” Ben Kingsley’s nuanced performance is chilling, and Avraham asserts that Kingsley plays Eichmann “in the right way, because he was a family man, like me and you.” “He had a small boy born in Argentina, he had a wife, he had kids. And for all those years he was a regular man,” said Avraham. “Like the Nazis, they were our neighbors and suddenly they became Nazis. Tomorrow a regular man could do something similar to the Americans. This is the evil thing. Regular people killed the Jewish people.” The full story of Eichmann’s capture remains to be told, said Avraham, who receives emails, letters, and photos everyday from people around the world, whose relatives were somehow involved with the mission. He is writing a book now highlighting them, including the many Argentine Jews who gave their assistance without knowing the true meaning of the operation. Operation Finale is now playing in limited release in theaters.

Juice And Lose

FULL RUN

Juicing recipes to shake off pounds and boost your energy

etting motivated to lose weight isn’t a problem for some people. Staying motivated is often another story. When a diet doesn’t produce results right away, studies show people usually don’t stick with it. Setting the bar too high, too soon can lead to frustration and a fast exit of a regimen that might have in the long run reached the person’s goals. “The best way to stick to a diet is to start with reasonable goals,” said Cherie Calbom, MS and author of The Juice Lady’s Sipping Skinny (www.juiceladycherie.com) and a leading authority on juicing for health and detoxification. “And the best diets are those that don’t just lead to success in losing weight but also gain you health with the nutrients they provide.” Juicing, Calbom says, should replace one or two meals a day, not all of them. And one way to ensure someone sticks with a juicing diet, she adds, is to research a variety of recipes “to avoid getting stuck in a recipe rut, as people do when bouncing from diet to diet.” “Good diets are as much about committing to change your internal landscape as they are about changing your outward appearance,” she said. With that in mind, Calbom offers three juicing recipes to add variety to the diet:

Apple Cider Vinegar Fat Blaster 1 qt. purified water 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar (raw) 2 tbsp. lemon juice 1 tsp. ground ginger 1 tsp. cinnamon Dash of cayenne pepper Several drops of stevia to taste Mix all ingredients together. Drink a glass 20 minutes before a meal.

Cinnamon Swirl 2 cups full-fat coconut milk 1 cup chopped apple ½ cup packed baby spinach 1 tsp. ground cinnamon, or ½ tsp. liquid cinnamon

TREE SERVICE FREE ESTIMATE • TREE REMOVAL • LAND CLEARING • STUMP GRINDING • PRUNING

Several drops of stevia 4-6 ice cubes Add protein powder Put all the ingredients in a blender and process until creamy.

Rockin’ Green Smoothie 1 cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk 1 cup frozen berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries) 1 cup baby spinach 1 cup chopped kale or chard ½ tsp. pure vanilla extract 4-6 ice cubes Combine all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth and creamy.

As we approach the 75th anniversary of D-Day it is only fitting that we continue this scholarship awards program with the intention of sustaining it as it serves to personally connect generations of Americans with their nation’s history and that of their families. In an era when the time allocated to history studies in the classroom is being reduced, this expanded scholarship program couldn’t have come at a more important time.” Michael Sapraicone, museum board member and president of Squad Security, stated, “This

While summer doesn’t technically end until Sept. 21, many believe that as soon as Labor Day is over, fall is in full swing. Get ready for the cooler weather and warm colors by starting in your kitchen with a delicious recipe. The spicy scents and flavors are waiting for you with a savory lamb recipe, which features an innovative spice just launched by Ruinart Champagne and spice master extraordinaire Lior Lev Sercarz of La Boîte. The Ruinart 1764 spice was developed to celebrate and complement Ruinart Rosé, the world’s first rosé champagne, and is inspired by its exotic notes. A roasted rack of lamb is transformed with the zesty Ruinart 1764 spice, which features fruity and acidic notes of sumac combined with the light sweetness of licorice, and hints of cubeb berries that add grapefruit and pine notes for balance. The unconventional seasoning dresses up roasted onions and a Greek yogurt sauce that easily elevate the year-round staple. Pair with a glass of Ruinart Rosé for a top chef-worthy meal in the comfort of your home. The blend is available in a collectible wooden box alongside a bottle of Ruinart Rosé for $99.99 on www.clos19.com. Directions 1. Let the lamb sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before starting your prep work so that it can be at room temperature for 30 minutes total. 2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. 3. Lightly coat the racks of lamb with a bit of olive oil and season each rack with about 1 tablespoon of Ruinart 1764 and kosher salt to taste. 4. Drizzle olive oil on the bottom of a roasting pan. Spread the onions evenly on top and sprinkle with salt and 1 tablespoon of Ruinart 1764. Rest the lamb racks on the onions. 5. Roast until a crust forms and a meat thermometer inserted in the center registers 115 to 120F for medium-rare, about 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the lamb rest for 10 minutes. In a bowl whisk all the ingredients together for the yogurt sauce. Transfer the racks to a cutting board and slice into chops. 6. Serve immediately with the onions and yogurt sauce.

A Place For Your Pup BY MYLES GOLDMAN

EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Leaving your dog behind on vacation can be not only hard for you, but even harder for your dog because they may feel abandoned. Fortunately, there are boarding services available to make sure your dog is as happy as you are on vacation. Here are five steps to choosing the right boarding service.

Make Sure The Price Is Right

Generally, a full day at a dog hotel can start at $25 but there are factors that can cause price deviations such as size, breeds and services such as room size, number of walks, and bathing.

Take A Tour

Unlike actual hotels, dog hotels don’t show off too much of their facility on their websites because

they would prefer to take you on a tour. Taking a tour before boarding your dog in that hotel or kennel can give you a better understanding on whether or not you think your dog will be happy there. During the tour, look out for anything that looks unsanitary. In most dog hotels there are play rooms with numerous breeds of dogs; if your dog is small and a majority of the dogs at the hotel look aggressive, ask if they offer private play times. Some other questions are what

Like any other business, the employees aren’t as truthful as people who have paid for their services before. In some reviews, the dog owners may even mention the breed of dog they own, which can be the same as yours. Pet hotels aren’t staffed by veterinarians, so they don’t pay attention to health risks of certain dog breeds. For example, a Pug will need a well air-conditioned room because they are very heat intolerant.

with your veterinarian and ask them specific questions on what to tell the boarding service about your dog in regards to medications they may take, special accommodations based on your dog’s age or any concerns you or your veterinarian have. Your veterinarian may even recommend that your dog stay in the office due to some side effects of boarding a dog amongst others such as kennel cough.

Consider Hours Of Operation

While dogs are able to fall asleep easily at home, they may not once they are in a different place, whether it’s a cage in a kennel or a private room in a dog hotel. Sometimes when dogs are unfamiliar with their surroundings, they will act differently by not eating, drinking or even turn hostile because they’ll think their owner abandoned them. If you decide to board your dog in a kennel or a dog hotel, ask about hours of operation because the cause of your dog’s behavior could just be from not getting enough attention or physical activity or wanting to be taken out for a walk before bedtime.

Helping Them To Remember The Alzheimer’s Disease Resource Center raises awareness for World Alzheimer’s month BY JENNIFER FAUCI jfauci@antonmediagroup.com

ot remembering where you left your keys or if you forgot to turn off the garage light, albeit an annoyance, is one thing. But not remembering your own life and being unable to recognize your loved ones is a truly heartbreaking way to go from day to day. Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive illness that affects and destroys memory and other mental functions, and while there are treatment options, there is unfortunately, still no cure. The Alzheimer’s Disease Resource Center (ADRC) is an organization with a continued mission is to support research that may lead to a cure for Alzheimer’s disease, to provide care, support and education programs for families in need, and to be advocates for local families who are coping with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Mary Ann Malack-Ragona serves as the executive director and CEO of ADRC and she is responsible for quite a bit of what goes on at the center. “Everything that entails implementing the entire operation of the organization from financial aspects, grants, marketing and advertising to our programs which include art, music and equine therapy as well as support groups, that’s where I come in,” said Ragona, who has been with the Alzheimer’s Disease Resource Center since 2003. “The equine program out at Spirit’s Promise in Riverhead really lights up the faces of people with this disease and I hope it goes on in perpetuity.” In the 15 years she has been with the organization, she believes that while research for Alzheimer’s has come very far, there is still a long road to be traveled. She spoke of a moment in 2012 where she realized that a lot of

Alzheimer’s patients enjoy some equine therapy.

and has plans to make another donation to stem cell research in the fall. She also spoke of the project at NYU Winthrop with Allison Reiss, MD, who received a $10,000 grant ADRC to pursue research for her blood brain barrier project. “There is a huge belief that uncontrolled diabetes leads to memory loss and is a cause for Alzheimer’s disease as it progress,” said Ragona. “I had an opportunity to visit with the New York Stem Cell Foundation in Manhattan and they’re doing exciting and meaningful work in the world of diabetes

30 Years Of Thoughtful Care The Long Island Alzheimer’s Foundation makes a difference in the lives of people impacted by dementia BY JENNIFER FAUCI jfauci@antonmediagroup.com

“With you every step of the way.” That is the mantra that graces the logo of the Long Island Alzheimer’s Foundation (LIAF), an organization founded by five Long Island women in 1988 with one goal in mind: to provide supportive community-based services to Alzheimer’s families in Long Island. As executive director of LIAF, Tori Cohen is involved in both developing its programs (she is a licensed social worker with more 20 years of experience), as well as overseeing its day-to-day operations. As LIAF celebrates three decades of service, Cohen, whose grandmother suffered with dementia, spoke about the importance of keeping the discussion about Alzheimer’s going and how the LIAF is working to make the journey manageable for both patients and caregivers.

Q A

Tell me about your role with the Long Island Alzheimer’s Foundation (LIAF). I have been with the organization since 2003 and since then, have been largely responsible for its growth. I have also spearheaded its recent relocation from Port Washington to its modern, more centrally located center in Westbury. I have used my personal experiences to help shape LIAF into the program it is today.

What are some ways LIAF is improving the quality of life for those living with Alzheimer’s disease and related forms of dementia? By supporting legislation that allows this population easier access to more services and providing families with direction, guidance and counseling to help them get the highest quality services available to them. Also, being

proactive in planning the details for the diagnosed individual’s future, in an effort to ensure that it’s what the diagnosed individual wanted (financial matters, living situation, etc). Our caregiver training provides caregivers with ideas to improve communication and solutions to resolve conflicts with the diagnosed individual, all the while preserving the individual’s independence and dignity. It’s important to keep them active, social and engaged during all of our programs

Q A

Does the organization do anything special for caregivers? LIAF understands how emotionally draining and exhausting it can be caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s and related forms of dementia. Along with a variety of programs dealing with all stages of Alzheimer’s disease that offer caregiver respite—day programs, weekend drop-off programs, inhome respite programs—as well as several other services. Our caregiver support groups, which are facilitated by licensed social workers, provide guidance and emotional support, helping caregivers develop coping skills, maintain a positive mental attitude and ensure that they remember to take care of their own health needs as well. LIAF’S transportation services include wheelchair-accessible vehicles that provide door-to-door service to and from its center in Westbury for families in select areas of Nassau County. Dementia trained drivers and LIAF’s staff help ensure our participant’s safety and comfortability.

Q A

What programs are available through LIAF? LIAF offers a variety of programs specifically geared for those with early-stage, moderate-stage and late-stage Alzheimer’s that foster the individual’s independence, dignity and well-being. These include

day programs, which are available Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., providing caregivers with six hours of time to attend to their other responsibilities while their loved ones are mentally stimulated in an engaging program that accommodates their abilities; a weekend drop-off program, which is on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and includes a variety of fun activities including arts and crafts, exercise, brain games, music therapy and more; and in-home respite, which provides two hours of in-home respite every other week for Alzheimer’s families in Nassau County by trained respite workers provide cognitive activities for a caregiver’s loved one.

Q A

What has been accomplished within the organization since its inception? LIAF has grown with our handson programming from inception. LIAF has been able to individualize our programming and services to help our participants foster their independence and dignity throughout their journey. Some new services we have to offer are “Music and Memory” and “Early Stage Chorus.” These programs are instrumental in helping the loved ones and the diagnosed individual stay connected. Moving to Westbury in 2017 has made a positive difference in the lives of people impacted by Alzheimer’s disease and related forms of dementia—one person, one family, one community at a time.

Q A

How can someone get involved to help LIAF? LIAF also welcomes volunteers to spend time with our participants allowing us to provide that extra one-on-one care. Our “Forget You Not” volunteer program focuses on intergenerational interaction between young teens and the population living with this disease. Their mission is to bridge the generational gap

HELPING THEM from page 3B and Alzheimer’s. We believe at some point, their work will slow down or cure Alzheimer’s Disease.” The ADRC is also very big on education, with an understanding that individuals hired to take care of people with Alzheimer’s, do not always have the skills to do so correctly. According to Ragona, the ADRC has developed programs that bring new knowledge into the hands of physicians and informal caregivers. “Family caregivers who couldn’t get out or be part of an information group about programs and services can now find everything under one roof,” she said of the ADRC’s conference expo that featured 81 vendors covering the entire continuum of care for Alzheimer’s. “Attorneys, doctors who make house calls, home companion services, certified home health agencies, the VA for veterans’ benefits and assisted living, it’s all available information and so much can be accomplished at this event.”

The ADRC runs six support groups out of the Bayshore office and is affiliated with 35 supports groups across Nassau and Suffolk County. The organization also has several satellite offices for those who are unable to travel. As for getting involved with ADRC, it is a welcome and simple process. “We have a nice grouping of volunteers who do everything from making packets for families

of people are involved. “It takes a village to do that. We are constantly in touch with our families to keep them abreast of what goes on and we’ll keep doing so until there is a cure.” The ADRC’s East End Walk for Alzheimer’s and Fall Festival will take place on Oct. 16 at the Long Island Aquarium in Riverhead.

How-to Prevent Dementia And Maintain A Healthy Brain Being diagnosed with dementia does not have to be a death sentence. With World Alzheimer’s Day coming up on Sept. 21, there are many educational tools available to learn what we can do to prevent dementia and have a healthier way moving forward.

hile many focus on maintaining physical health—it’s equally important that we keep our brain healthy. Dr. Timothy R. Jennings is making it easy in his book, The Aging Brain: Proven Steps to Prevent Dementia and Sharpen Your Mind, which provides rock-solid research on how to prevent dementia. Jennings shares simple steps to prevent dementia, late-onset Alzheimer’s, and stop the progression of the disease in those with mild cognitive loss. Alzheimer’s disease is a subject that concerns more than 5.5 million people across the nation: how to prevent dementia and keep our mind sharp as we age. A psychiatrist and international speaker, Jennings prescribes simple, everyday actions we can take to stave off disease, promote

vitality, and prevent dementia and late-onset Alzheimer’s. “The choices we make now can help us to keep our minds sharp and maintain our independence as we age,” said Jennings. An easy-to-use guide to maintaining brain and body health throughout life, The Aging Brain is based on solid, up-to-date scientific research, and the interventions discussed can prevent progression toward dementia, even in those already showing signs of mild cognitive impairment. The recommendations also may help reduce disability and depression. “This book isn’t just for people hoping to slow the aging process,” said Jennings. “It’s also for anyone who is a caregiver to someone at risk of or already beginning to suffer from dementia. It offers a hopeful, healthy way forward.”

Dr. Timothy R. Jennings has authored several books, including The GodShaped Brain and The God-Shaped Heart. He is a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and Fellow of the Southern Psychiatric Association, and is president and founder of Come and Reason Ministries. For more information about Jennings, visit www.agingbrainbook. com. The Aging Brain: Proven Steps to Prevent Dementia and Sharpen Your Mind is available for $11 on Amazon. —Anton Media Group

Healthy And Creative Back-To-School Lunches School supplies—check. Outfit—check. Back-toschool lunch game plan—check. Teaching children about food and nutrition from a young age is crucial towards their health and wellbeing. A healthy diet can help children concentrate and learn at school, while also reducing their risk of developing obesity in years to come. Let’s commit to starting off the school year right and packing healthier lunchboxes for our kids. Here are a few simple tips that can make healthy lunches fun and nutritious:

Healthy Bento-Box Style Lunch Purchase a bento-box style reusable container that has separate compartments for food. Make sure the container is dishwasher-safe, durable, and made with non-toxic materials. Start with a lean protein such as rolled up turkey slices or Babybel cheese

wheels. Next, add a complex carbohydrate like seed crackers or rice cakes. Fill one compartment up with your child’s favorite veggie, such as baby carrots, sugar snap peas, sliced cucumbers or tomatoes. Then, include one serving of fruit such as a mandarin orange, apple slices, berries or a few grapes. Last but not least, add one “fun” food such as a piece of

CHOOSING HEALTH Stefani Pappas

fun size candy or a few animal crackers. This will ensure that all of the food groups are covered in an enticing way.

Get Creative With Presentation When it comes to lunch, kids tend to like a lot of variety since they can get bored with food easily. Sometimes, just changing the presentation of

food can be enough to entice your child to eat a healthy lunch. Try using a cookie cutter to create fun shapes with any sandwich. Plus, a cookie cutter helps to seal the sandwich and can make it easier to eat without falling apart. Another fun idea is making sandwich sushi rolls. Simply fill a whole-wheat wrap with low-sodium turkey breast, spinach and one whole string cheese. Wrap tightly, and then slice like you would with sushi. This makes lunch more handheld and easier for kids to eat during school.

Instead of sugary soda and fruit juice, have your child pick out a fun reusable water bottle that may entice them to drink more water. Set an example at home by keeping a pitcher of water on the table at all meals. Add some fresh cut fruit for an infused water option (you can also purchase an infuser pitcher and start this practice at home). If your child insists on having some type of sweet beverage with lunch, try introducing a healthy drink such as naturally flavored seltzer, coconut water or organic chocolate milk. Keep an eye out as many juice brands are coming out with lower-sugar alternatives, such as Mott’s Sensibles. Use these tips to help guide you in creating healthy school lunches, and don’t forget to get the kids involved.

Rep. Rice Introduces Bill To Increase Access To Alzheimer’s Services The bill will help those living with Younger-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease U.S. Representative Kathleen Rice recently announced she will introduce the Younger-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease Parity Act, which would amend the Older Americans Act of 1965 to serve individuals who are under the age of 60 years-old but living with younger-onset Alzheimer’s disease or other degenerative diseases. The announcement was made at the Long Island Alzheimer’s Foundation (LIAF) headquarters in Westbury, where Rep. Rice was joined by representatives from LIAF, the Alzheimer’s Association, Sid Jacobson JCC and NY-04 residents whose lives have been touched by younger-onset Alzheimer’s. The Older Americans Act (OAA) was originally enacted in 1965 and supports a range of home- and community-based programs for

the elderly, including meals-onwheels and other nutrition services, in-home care, adult day-care, transportation services, legal aid, elder abuse prevention and vital assistance and support for family caregivers. OAA programs, which are only available to Americans age 60 and older, have proven to be particularly essential to people living with Alzheimer’s. However, right now 5 percent of Americans with Alzheimer’s or approximately 250,000 people, are living with younger-onset Alzheimer’s, for which symptoms usually begin in a person’s 50s, but can start as early as their 30s or 40s. As a result, this population and their caregivers do not have access to the essential OAA-funded programs and services that many older people living with the same disease have grown to rely on. The Younger-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease Parity Act would address this issue by changing the OAA to make its

funding and programming available to Americans under the age of 60 who are living with Alzheimer’s or similar degenerative diseases. “Every American who is living with Alzheimer’s disease deserves access to the best available care, regardless of their age,” said Rice. “Those with younger-onset Alzheimer’s often begin to show symptoms in their 30s, 40s and 50s, when they still have young children, new homes and growing careers. Virtually overnight, these individuals and their families face unimaginable financial strain. But right now, they don’t qualify for the vital and affordable services offered under the Older Americans Act that many people with the same exact disease utilize and rely on every day.” “Too often people with younger-onset Alzheimer’s are excluded from services because of their age,” said Robert Egge, Alzheimer’s Association Chief Public Policy

Officer and AIM Executive Director. “This legislation would ensure that these individuals and their caregivers have access to the necessary services and support to help them throughout the continuum of this progressive and fatal disease. We are grateful to Congresswoman Rice for introducing this important legislation.” Connie Wassermann LCSW, Associate Executive Director, Sid Jacobson JCC noted that Alzheimer’s and other dementias can affect any one at any age. “They do not discriminate,” she said. “Because government funding cannot be used to serve those under 60 we’ve had to create our own program, the first of its kind, to help individuals and families living with younger-onset Alzheimer’s. We are grateful to Kathleen Rice for listening to the plight of younger families and for responding. This bill would allow us offer more resources to those who need them.”

Quality Care, Right Next Door The Bristal at Lake Success and The Amsterdam at Harborside redefine elder life BY JENNIFER FAUCI jfauci@antonmediagroup.com

ears ago, the term “assisted living” was considered an adult care service, often associated with another person, not a family member, taking care of an aging parent or relative. Now, “assisted living” means one thing for the elderly: community. With the main goal of quality care as the utmost important part of any elder care facility, The Bristal at Lake Success and The Amsterdam aim to breathe new life into giving the best generation a sense of community and a renewed love of life. With a mission to ensure that residents experience the absolute finest in assisted living today by providing extraordinary accommodations, delivering expert care and support, as well as ensuring a lifestyle that is healthy and active, The Bristal at Lake Success combines those values with the science of innovative memory care, creating a new kind of senior living community.

program dedicated to helping residents manage Alzheimer’s disease and other memory-related cognitive disorders. For the past 18 years, The Bristal Assisted Living has helped thousands of families by caring for loved ones living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and other memory-related cognitive disorders through the Reflections program, which redefines the care given to those patients suffering from memory diseases. Proud of its alliance with the Feinstein Institute of Northwell Health when it comes to memory care, the partnership enables residents to be significantly impacted by the research, findings and latest advancements in the field. The Amsterdam at Harborside is a senior retirement community that aims to capture the energy and vibrancy of life on Long Island for those who believe age is just a number. With inviting dining venues, social and educational opportunities, the convenience of an on-site fitness center, pool and spa and a staff of professionals at your service, The

Amsterdam is the first and only community in Nassau County to offer life care, meaning that residents know that caregivers are available if they ever need them, and that their monthly fee for independent living doesn’t change when they receive health care. Life care benefits include priority access to licensed quality senior health care, private enriched housing and nursing care suites as well as one-on-one memory support. The independent living community retains a freedom for seniors, as well as allowing them to focus on what is truly important in their life,

Alcohol And Your Liver A

s we say goodbye to another summer and begin to plan for the change in seasons and upcoming sports seasons, we also begin to think of alcohol use and how it affects us. With the advancements in the treatment of hepatitis C has come a decline in the number of patients with hepatitis C needing a liver transplantation. Cirrhosis from alcohol use has replaced hepatitis C as the leading indication for liver transplantation in America. The million-dollar question is “ Who gets liver disease from alcohol use?” Millions of Americans drink alcoholic beverages yet very few will ever develop liver issues. Alcohol causes a spectrum of liver disease from fatty liver to acute hepatitis to cirrhosis and its complications. As little as two glasses of wine a day can cause significant liver disease, especially in women. Women

THE SPECIALIST David Bernstein, MD

in general more prone to alcohol related liver disease than men are. Alcoholic fatty liver is the most common condition caused by alcohol. This condition is usually benign and can be reversed simply by stopping drinking. People who develop abnormal liver tests following alcohol intake that normalize in the absence of drinking should take heed that they are at increased risk for the development of more significant scarring and cirrhosis

with continued alcohol use. Those people had a warning shot that they responded to and they should never drink any alcohol again. Alcoholic hepatitis is caused by binge drinking on top of chronic liver disease. People with alcoholic hepatitis seek medical attention with a multitude of complaints such as nausea, pain over the right upper area of the abdomen, lowgrade fever, and jaundice. On examination, the liver is enlarged and tender to palpation. When blood testing is done, the liver tests are elevated and the bilirubin is high. In a many people with this condition, survival is less than fifty-fifty and patients progress to liver failure, bleeding and death. Mostly, these patients are not candidates for liver transplantation although some transplant centers will transplant select candidates even if they were drinking

up until the day they are admitted to a hospital. Alcoholic hepatitis occurs in about twenty percent of percent of heavy drinkers and only occurs in people with significant underlying liver scarring. Therefore, having alcoholic hepatitis means that the person has significant liver disease and is in trouble. The treatment is a combination of nutrition and steroids for severe cases, in the short term. The only way to prevent recurrence is to stop all alcohol intake. Cirrhosis caused by alcohol looks no different than most other causes of cirrhosis, although the risk of developing liver cancer may be higher. Most people with alcoholic cirrhosis are malnourished and will progress to some type of complication ranging from weight loss, jaundice, liver failure, esophageal variceal bleeding, ascites, confusion and liver cancer.

15B

The treatment of alcoholic cirrhosis is cessation of alcohol intake and management of complications. Eventually, liver transplantation can be used to treat end stage disease. So what is the take home message regarding alcohol and the liver. In the vast majority of people, responsible alcohol use will not lead to liver disease. Advanced liver disease from alcohol may occur with greater frequency in smaller individuals, especially women and young adults. Alcohol use should be avoided in patients with underlying liver disease, especially those with chronic hepatitis C. Overall, the use of alcohol requires good common sense. Everything in moderation, nothing in excess, remains a good axiom to live by. If there are any concerns about alcohol use, these concerns should be addressed to your physician.

New Prostate Biopsy Procedure Eliminates Risk Of Infection

eptember is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. Prostate cancer affects one in six men in the US. Urologists recommend men between the ages of 50 and 75 get a prostate screening, which includes a discussion with a physician, a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test and prostate exam. Other things that can increase your risk for prostate cancer include your family history and geography and ethnic background. Urologists at Northwell Health’s Smith Institute for Urology recently started offering a new biopsy procedure which samples tissue from the prostate to potentially detect cancer— and eliminates the risk of infection. The procedure, known as a transperineal biopsy, is an important step forward

for prostate health because it avoids risk of infection by inserting needles into the perineum to reach the prostate. The standard technique, transrectal biopsy, guides the needles through the rectal wall, where fecal bacteria can cause contamination. “We are looking at the transperineal biopsy because transrectal procedure has a history of causing sepsis, with up to five percent of men getting infections, which has been cited in scientific urologic literature nationally for decades,” said Michael Schwartz, MD, director of laparoscopic and robotic surgery at the Smith Institute for Urology. “Patients with these infections need to be hospitalized and require intravenous antibiotics. The transperineal biopsy is a huge advantage and offers patients a safe alternative

with a virtually zero risk of infection.” Schwartz said the transperineal biopsy, which takes about 10 to 15 minutes, is performed in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia. Using the standard rectal ultrasound, the new technology allows physicians to pass a needle through the perineum and perform multiple biopsies through one entry and easier access to certain areas of the prostate. “Taking away the infection risk in the biopsy procedure is a game changer,” said Louis Kavoussi, MD, chair of urology at Northwell Health. “Approximately 30 to 40 percent of patients we treat with low-grade prostate cancer are under surveillance. This means men must have biopsies every couple of years. Patients are always concerned about how they

Dr. Michael Schwartz

can reduce their risk for infections and this new method removes barriers to care.” The Smith Institute of Urology is among a handful of institutions in the nation offering the transperineal prostate biopsy along with urologists in other countries. Schwartz said the urology institute anticipates

performing 500-600 transperineal biopsies each year. He said the new, safer procedure is “a wave that has come to urology” and will likely be commonplace in five years. For more information, call the Smith Institute for Urology at 516-734-8500. —Submitted by Northwell Health

he Centers for Medicare and Medicaid recently released their first ever national ranking for all 15,421 Skilled Nursing Facilities (in-patient short-term physical rehabilitation centers and nursing homes) in the country based on their success in avoiding unnecessary hospitalizations. Studies have shown that it greatly benefits frail and elderly patients to be treated in-place and avoid the ping-pong back and forth from the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) to the hospital to receive care and treatment. For this reason, a major emphasis has been put on SNF’s nationally to raise their clinical standards and capabilities to be able

to properly treat patients in-house when their health takes a turn for the worse. It is worth noting that two local family owned and operated Skilled Nursing Facilities, with common ownership and management, have scored in the top ranking nationally in this inaugural ranking release. Central Island Healthcare (Plainview) and Daleview Care Center (Farmingdale) have both scored a SNF Program Rank of number one for avoiding unnecessary rehospitalizations. This is in addition to both facilities already scoring high rankings in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Five-Star Quality Rating, the overall government rating given

n the aftermath of the 17th anniversary of September 11, I offer a remembrance of several groups of people—all Queens court personnel—whom I spent a day with in their courthouse, just three days after the 2001 terrorist attack. The people I met with included individuals with missing relatives or friends, individuals with relatives or friends confirmed dead, individuals who were in the World Trade Center complex during the attack, individuals with family members who barely escaped, and individuals who witnessed the attack and collapse of the Twin Towers from courthouse windows. All were deeply affected. Most were in a state of shock and disbelief. When I arrived at the courthouse, I learned that I would be meeting with three groups of 8 to 12 people each. I was called in by an official from an Employee Assistance Program to offer a supportive group experience. We met in a vacant courtroom. I arranged chairs around two adjacent prosecution and defense tables. As I awaited the first group, a court officer said, “Today should be interesting.” I asked him what he meant. He said, “It’s foreclosure

Friday.” He explained that every Friday they have an auction of foreclosed property and, typically, about 200 Arab-Americans participate in the auction, signaling a sense of mounting unease with people of Middle Eastern descent. I greeted the first group, and one by one the participants revealed signs and symptoms of trauma and stress. These included numbness, shock, headaches, loss of appetite, aches and pains, frequent trips to the bathroom, sleeplessness, flashbacks, startle responses to loud noises (especially airplanes), helplessness, gruesome nightmares, anger, uncertainty, guilt and fear. Fear was a powerful theme. Many felt that the courthouse was unsafe. During the final group meeting a

female court officer walked in unannounced and searched for explosives, explaining there was a bomb threat. At least one or two people wept openly in each group, women and men. In each group at least one person left the room to compose themselves and then came back. More than one person said, “I can’t stop crying.” And more than one said, “I can’t cry.” Anger was a prevailing theme. There was anger at the government. “How could they let this happen?” they asked. Many shared feelings of disbelief, saying how surreal it seems. One said, “I am in a semi-daze; I feel like I’m not even here.” Guilt was prevalent, especially about going on with mundane day-to-day activities. A court officer said he felt insignificant, like “a grain of sand.” He said he felt helpless and wondered if he was going crazy. One group participant’s son escaped from the 78th floor. He took the stairs. His co-workers waited for the elevator. They didn’t survive. The son’s story was retold by his mother through sobs. When he emerged from

the building, she shared, he witnessed “flaming bodies falling from the sky.” Two others held her hands as she told the story. In each group people reached out to comfort one another through physical touch and understanding words. In one group a woman who said she couldn’t understand why she hadn’t cried was brought to tears by another’s pain over a missing sister. In closing, the participants in one group agreed that “it’s good to know you’re not alone,” and “it’s good to know you’re not going crazy.” I found the intensity of that experience and the participants’ ability to reach out to one another moving. Although I was there to facilitate, my role was to bear witness. It confirmed for me what I was already feeling; when facing incomprehensible tragedy and overwhelming grief we must push ourselves to forgo isolation and reach out to one another.

other things.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Welcome to your most interesting and unpredictable year to date. Just when you think you know how a day or a week will unfold, it will get all twisty on you. So you may as well shake off your certainty about yourself and this experience of life. Resign yourself to a state of blissful ignorance about the future. Once you decide to believe that anything is possible, anything and everything happens. There is something very powerful in your wishes, too, so make a list and read it daily.

WORD FIND

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direction but always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 34 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). How do you know you’ve learned from your mistakes? When you notice that you’re making different ones. That’s the best evidence there is, even better than the evidence of your success. Success proves you’re getting something right, but new mistakes prove you’re taking risks and really, fully living. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There are so many ways to be kind to yourself. Some will seem like a good idea, but when you actually execute them, you’ll learn they didn’t quite do the trick. When that happens, try something else. You’re getting to know yourself, after all. The better you know yourself, the more likely you’ll be able to make yourself happy. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll glimpse your future, but it’s only one version -- the version that will happen if you continue on this path. But any change you make now, however small, will change everything. Don’t underestimate the power of making small adjustments. Indeed, it will drastically change where you end up. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You notice everything this week, including how people are dressed and what that says, clues they leave about where their affections lie and other evidence of their inner worlds. Because you’re so perceptive, it would be difficult to keep secrets from you. You’ll use what you learn constructively. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A responsibility will fall to you, not because it’s technically yours, but because you’re the only one who sees what needs to happen. It’s like you’re steering lemmings from the cliff ahead. A sign won’t be enough to redirect the crowd and neither will an explanation. Head the group and run in the direction they should go. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The outsiders don’t know much about your goals or what qualifies as success to you. So you can’t really take their advice, praise or criticism too seriously. Only you know what what counts. Trust your own judgment. When it’s meaningful to you, it’s meaningful. Let your opinion of you be the one that matters. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Though you’ll feel like a one-winged creature looking for another one-winged creature to fly with, the truth is that humans are unwinged and none of us fly without putting our trust in the society that created airplanes and the like. This week, you’ll make a plan, figure out who is reliable, invest your hopes and take flight. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You might feel like you’re being bossy, but that’s what the boss should be. You’re also very respectful of your crew. Continue to carefully phrase your requests and to state your vision in a way that helps others get on board, and you’ll be successful in motivating those around you to fulfill the goal. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Loyalty is important to you, but it’s not something you think about very much. Maybe it’s because you’re a straight shooter, and you assume that others are, too. The stakes will be raised this week. There will be more to consider. Think carefully about what you say and to whom. Give your trust judiciously. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Friends will include you for reasons beyond the obvious, which include affection and affinity. It’s better if you know what those reasons are. There’s nothing wrong with them, though maybe someone’s pride is keeping them from telling you the whole story. Anyway, you always love to help, especially this week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Someone will make it known that his or her life is more fun when you’re a part of it. How validating! That fun energy doesn’t have to be turned on and off just to delight people around you though. Put some of it into your own scene. Your relationship with yourself is the one that will color all other relationships. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What do you do to feel taken care of? What do you do that reinforces your self-worth? Your life is precious. Your experience is precious. Don’t wait for others to prove this to you. Give yourself what you need and want. Do what it takes to help yourself understand how important and essential you are to the whole.

A Star Is Born

Hollywood has always loved musicals, and this one is no exception. Getting major buzz at the Venice Film Festival, A Star Is Born is the third remake of the 1937 film of the same name. It stars Bradley Cooper, who also directed the film, and Lady Gaga. The film’s story revolves around Jackson Maine (Cooper), a well-known musician who has an established career, discovering Ally (Lady Gaga) singing at a club. Seeing that she is on the verge of giving up her dream of stardom, Jackson encourages her to keep it alive. The couple falls in love as Ally becomes a star, but Jackson also has to deal with his own issues of alcoholism. The film will be released nationwide on Oct. 5.
