Radical Roots

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

ith consumers more conscientious about finding healthy eating options, B.GOOD recently opened its first Long Island location in Garden City. With taglines that include “Food with Roots” and “Real Food Fast,” the Boston-based chain prides itself on meals created with handpicked fresh produce delivered daily from local farmers and suppliers. Since childhood friends Jon Olinto and Anthony Ackil launched its flagship store in Boston back in 2004 with help from head chef Tony Rosenfeld, B.GOOD has expanded to upwards of 50 locations throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. The 2,700-square foot store that opened at 191 Seventh St. in Garden City is bright and airy with a staff of 12. There is also a photo of Ackil’s Uncle Faris, who inspired the founding of the restaurant and its name, according to Director of Local Store Marketing Jennifer Granillo. “The good advice that Uncle Faris would give them, ‘Eat this good food and be good,’ was where the name of the restaurant came from,” said Granillo. Healthy and tasty food options abound. Carnivores can savor antibiotic-free burgers that run

about $7.50, including the Cousin Oliver (Boston lettuce, tomatoes, onions, Chef Tony’s homemade pickles), the West-Side (avocado, cilantro, fresh salsa, chipotle purée, lime) and El Guapo (bacon, homemade jalapeño slaw, jalapeño ranch), all with a gluten-free bun option. Vegans and vegetarians are also well-served by Grains & Greens Bowls and salads at about $10.60. Highlights are the Spicy Avocado & Lime Bowl (kale, organic quinoa, sautéed veggies, avocado, black beans and corn salsa, grape tomatoes, queso fresco, lime, cilantro, chipotle puree, red pepper vinaigrette) and Harvest Kale Salad (marinated kale, brussels sprouts, manchego cheese, sunflower seeds, beets, roasted squash, garbanzos, sherry vinaigrette). Kids meals come with broccoli and Chef Tony’s homemade apple sauce and smoothies. There are also seasonal salads that are updated quarterly. The summer options include Watermelon & Feta (arugula, baby spinach, watermelon, feta, cannellini beans, snap peas, corn, sundried tomatos, toasted corn, red wine vinegar, olive oil). It is these kinds of options that Granillo feels has allowed B.GOOD to expand at its current rate. Catering will be offered by the Garden City B.GOOD in the next couple of months. With future locations

Salads and burgers are made with fresh, homemade ingredients at B.GOOD. slated for Commack, Nanuet and secondary ones coming to Brooklyn and Jersey City within the next six to 12 months, Granillo feels B.GOOD addresses the jam-packed lives people are leading. “I think that a lot of busy moms and dads and other active people want to eat well but they’re busy. Life is different now,” she said. “They need something that can be their go-to, is reasonably priced, but makes them feel really good. And I think B.GOOD really fits that [need].”

Candidates are ratcheting up their campaign efforts across the country and Long Island is no different— especially in the hotly contested County Executive race. But before Election Day on Nov. 7, Nassau County voters headed to the polls on Tuesday, Sept. 12, to choose between Democratic challengers County Legislator Laura Curran and County Comptroller George Maragos. While election results were not available as of presstime, newcomer Curran had out-raised and gained more endorsements than Maragos. The county’s comptroller since 2010, Maragos left the Republican Party last fall to become a Democrat, but was not chosen for the Democratic ticket—that honor went to Curran.

Tips For Emergency Preparedness

States on the lower East Coast have endured Hurricane Irma, while bracing for two more storms making their way in, while hundreds of thousands in the Gulf continue to grapple with the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey. September is National Emergency Preparedness Month and National Grid is encouraging its customers to take action and be prepared, as severe storms continue to disrupt daily life and put more lives at risk. “This month in particular and as we approach the fifth anniversary and remember the devastation of Superstorm Sandy, we’re reminding our customers about the importance of planning ahead,” said Ken Daly, president of National Grid in New York. “Safety is our number one priority, and we want to ensure our customers can properly prepare and take care of themselves, their families, and their communities. Preparedness is critical to the well-being of our customers and it helps our crews restore service quickly and safely.” National Grid also continuously maintains and strengthens the reliability of its gas systems. The company is investing heavily in its gas infrastructure to modernize the network, ensure reliability, safety and to connect customers to the energy they need to heat their homes and run their businesses in the most economic manner. In addition to emergency preparedness efforts and to work quickly and safely to restore service in an outage, National Grid partners closely with the American Red Cross to help the communities it serves prepare for and recover from natural disasters. With support from National Grid and other companies, the American Red Cross Annual Disaster Giving Program is able to respond to nearly 70,000 disasters each year.

National Grid offers the following tips to help customers prepare for emergencies: Build An Emergency Supply Kit Water, nonperishable food, first aid materials, prescriptions, flashlight, batteries and a battery-powered radio are critical items to have in an emergency supply toolkit. A well thought-out emergency plan and a fully stocked toolkit could mean the

ple, along with shopping areas and entertainment/sports sites such as theaters, ball fields and arenas. How will you get to a safe place? How will you contact one another? How will you get back together, if separated? These are all important questions to consider when creating your plan. Anticipate Your Risks Think about where you live and identify the hazards that have

This could be in the form of radio/TV broadcasts, telephone, door-to-door notifications or a community siren. Get informed now so you can stay

informed when it counts. Stay Safe If You Experience Flooding • Flood waters can permanently damage gas equipment. Even if the equipment dries out, contaminants can affect electronics and moving parts. Corrosion is likely and is often hidden where it cannot be seen. This can lead to failures and can cause fires, even if the equipment appears intact and functions after drying out. • Do not turn off the gas meter even in the event of an evacuation. The gas meter should be left on to maintain proper pressure in the gas piping within the house and to prevent water from entering the lines should flooding occur. Most gas appliances have safety valves that shut off the flow of gas automatically if the pilot light goes out. • If your appliances have been in contact with water, please contact a licensed plumbing or heating contractor to make sure the appliances are safe to operate. If You Suspect A Natural Gas Leak • Evacuate your home and move to a safe area. • Call 911 or National Grid’s gas

National Grid has crews on call 24 hours/7 days a week who will respond immediately. When calling, provide the exact location, including cross streets. • Do not return to your home until National Grid tells you it is safe. • Do not smoke, light matches or do anything to create a flame. • Do not touch any light switches or electrical equipment and do not pull any plugs from outlets. These items may produce a spark that might ignite the gas and cause an explosion. • Do not assume someone else will report the condition. If You Suspect A CO Leak • If you suspect a carbon monoxide leak in your home, go outside immediately and call 911. • Indicators of high levels of carbon monoxide in the home may include: extremely stuffy, stale air; water condensation dripping on the inside of windows.

• Symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure: flu-like symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, sleepiness, nausea, fluttering of the heart and loss of muscle control.

Parker’s Innovative Intergenerational Program Builds Future Leaders

Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation was proud to once again host their student summer volunteer program. Parker partners with New York City’s “Ladders for Leaders” (LFL) program, as well as 1199SEIU’s Youth Mentoring Program (YMP), NYC’s Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) and local high schools. Partnering with these and other programs fosters professional mentoring and development, as well as encourages good civic-mindedness. Most importantly, these programs provide many satisfying opportunities for high school and college-aged youth to explore career possibilities, become accustomed to the world of work environment, and interact with people of other generations, cultures and backgrounds. Parker Jewish Institute is proud to support these programs and is honored to be part of the mentoring process for these young adults, whose presence brings joy to Parker’s elderly patients and residents. Through the sponsorship of NYC’s Department of Youth & Community Development, LFL provides paid internships to City youth between the ages of 16 and 22. These interns are carefully vetted. “All our applicants are evaluated based on their academic performance, responses to essay questions and résumé quality,” said Danielle DeAngelis, LMSW, Youth Employment Program Manager at Samuel Field and Central Queens YM & YWHA (her administrative staff finds internships and runs the program). “Ladders For Leaders helps high school and college students with paid internships, so they can get experience in different fields while earning money,” DeAngelis said. Selected applicants undertake

Participants then have an opportunity to interview for summer internships at many partners, such as Maimonides Medical Center, Morgan Stanley, New York Hospital Cornell, New York University Medical Center, Queens Chamber of Commerce and Parker Jewish Institute. Employer partners make final selections on hiring for paid internships. Parker’s President and CEO, Michael N. Rosenblut, commented on

how impressed he was to meet such a talented and mature group of young adults, who truly were enthusiastic and engaging with the residents and patients, as well as with the team members. Parker hosted 130 interns and volunteers this summer. “The students had the opportunity to experience interning with professional staff in departments that included public affairs, finance, development, nutrition, social work, nursing, pharmacy, medicine, therapeutic recreation, physical and occupational therapy, etc. Some

Leaders first health care partners. Pratima Bhagwandin, director of volunteers, coordinates Parker’s Career Day and the Volunteer Recognition Luncheon. The volunteers and interns attended these events in August. Darnel Rogers was sent through the LFL program, a senior at SUNY Oneonta, graduating next May with a Bachelor Degree in Business Economics. Rogers sang songs for the seniors. Frank Sinatra’s “Fly Me To The Moon” and the Ink Blot’s “Set The World On Fire” are two examples. He interned in the Development Department on Parker’s Golf Classic, following up with sponsors and working on promoting the event. Rogers enjoyed Career Day because he spoke with Parker’s Finance team and learned how finance plays a large role in health care. He’s interested in a hospitality career, and hopes to run a hotel one day. Anandita Guha came to Parker through the Volunteer Department and volunteered with the Therapeutic Recreation Department. She spent time with the patients and residents, getting to know them, what activities they liked, talked with them, and most importantly listened to them. As an accomplished student of dance, she also performed “Bollywood Style” dancing for patients at Parker, which they really enjoyed. She is a student at Kew Forest High School in Kew Gardens, and plans to become an anesthesiologist. Joy Nath is a Bronx High School student and came to Parker through the 1199SIEU program. Through the 1199SIEU program, Nath received guidance with resume writing, cover letters, interview skills, etc. He’ll include his stint in Parker’s gift shop on his resume. This recent high school graduate will attend The Macaulay Honors College at Lehman College in the Bronx, for a career in nursing.

The practice of yoga has been known to improve an individual’s physical and mental well-being through movement and meditation, but a common misconception is the idea that all yoga practices are the same. That is a notion which could not be further from the truth. With several various types of yoga, it can be difficult to determine which is the best fit for you and your lifestyle. While all forms of yoga presumably increase flexibility, improve posture, decrease stress levels, and increase focus, to name just a few of the health benefits, it is important to find a branch of yoga which resonates with your mind, body, and soul. Below we delve into some of the more common yoga practices:

Not All

Yoga

Is Created Equal

Hatha Yoga

Hatha yoga is a general category that encompasses several forms of yoga. Classes marketed as teaching hatha yoga are typically a gentle introduction into the physical practice of yoga. Hatha practice places emphasis on the mind/body connection and the ability to ground one’s self in the present moment.

YOGA from page 3B

Vinyasa Yoga

Aerial Yoga

The word “vinyasa” in Sanskrit loosely means “to place in a special way.” The practice of vinyasa yoga puts emphasis on the connection between postures and the breath. Vinyasa is typically a faster paced, breath-linked series of postures, which builds physical and mental strength.

If you’re looking for an unconventional yoga practice, aerial yoga turns the preconceived notions of what yoga is, upside down, quite literally. A mix of yoga and aerial acrobatics, aerial yoga allows you to stretch deeply with the support of a silk hammock, suspended from the ceiling. Supported, yogis can invert, or hang upside down, which can help decompress the spinal column, and increase blood flow throughout the body.

Restorative Yoga

A restorative practice focuses on promoting a sense of healing and deep relaxation. More slowly paced than many other forms of yoga, restorative yoga consists of a few simple postures that are held for several minutes each and supported by the use of yoga props.

Bikram Yoga

If you’re looking to practice in 90 to 100 degree temperatures, then Bikram yoga is for you. Typically beginner Bikram classes consist of a 90-minute practice of the same 26 postures. While the heated environment can promote deeper muscle relaxation and increased flexibility, it would not be recommended for people with sensitivity to heat or with certain cardiac and respiratory ailments. So whether you are looking to unwind and relax with a restorative practice, or work up a sweat with a Bikram practice, there is a subset of yoga waiting to be discovered and enjoyed by all.

Bending Over Backwards For Yoga Month BY NICOLE ROSENTHAL

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

September is National Yoga Month, designed to inspire others to lead a balanced and healthy lifestyle while educating about the benefits of the practice. Designated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Yoga Month serves as a time to make small changes to our daily habits in order to promote increased energy, cardio and circulatory health and even weight reduction. The practice of yoga has been around for 5,000 years, first practiced in the Indus-Sarasvati civilization in Northern India by Vedic priests. Rooted in self-healing and mind-body harmony, yoga is dedicated to the body’s ability to heal itself. While there are over one hundred variations of the practice, most modern yoga studios integrate exercises from various schools. Most sessions typically include breathing exercises, meditation and poses that stretch and flex muscle groups. “Though many of these techniques date back to ancient times, the benefits [that yoga] provides are invaluable in modern day life,” said Yoga Nanda owner Cara Stone. “Yoga provides the tools p eople n eed to successfully navigate the pressures of the current fast paced world in which we live. These teachings also provide a safe and effective outlet for releasing physical and emotional tension through mindful movement, breath awareness, and meditation. Yoga classes offer in-studio

guidance as well as simple instructions for at-home practices so studentscan continue to cultivate mindfulness on their own.” Om Sweet Om Yoga features various open classes throughout the month of September, ranging from foundational beginners classes, candlelight yoga, pre/post-natal, teen yoga and senior classes. Also available for the month is a new beginners series with Yoga Nanda’s own Kathleen Byrne. Affectionately named “Basic Tuesdays”, the class will focus on the fundamentals of breathing, posture and preliminary poses. “At Yoga Nanda our mission is to build a yoga community where you can know your truth, speak your truth, and hold your truth in your heart,” continued Stone. “Through physical, emotional, and spiritual self-realization, we grow to unite with our larger collective in compassion and service.” To kick-off the celebration, the Sands Point Preserve in Port Washington hosted the One Love Long Island Yoga Festival on Sept. 9, featuring live music performances, drum circles, meditation, henna artists and a multitude of yoga-related activities and seminar. “Yoga Nanda celebrates Yoga Month by being of service and continuing to support One Love Long Island Yoga Festival,” said Stone. “The festival is in its sixth year, and is put on completely by volunteers. One hundred percent of the profits to be donated to support survivors of human trafficking as well as a Long

Island organization that works with families with alcoholism and drug addiction.” For more information about Yoga Month and Yoga Nanda, visit www. yoga-nanda.com or call 516-307-9007.

Family Meals Month

In the midst of our busy lives and hectic schedules, taking the time to sit down and eat together with the family can often get neglected. September is National Family Meals Month, a great opportunity to prioritize family life and improve our nutrition. The start of the school year is the perfect time to start serving meals at home and renew your commitment to the family. Countless studies have shown that regular family meals are linked to positive outcomes for our children, including improved grades, positive self-esteem and healthier eating habits. A study in 2014 showed that structured meals strongly influence a child’s long-term health. Family mealtime doesn’t just mean eating together; it also includes cooking together, talking with each other, and spending time to form positive relationships. Family mealtime has been proven to benefit the health and wellness of children and adolescents, and can create a positive impact in our community. Here are just a few benefits of family mealtime, as well as some tips that can improve your meals together:

dinner, and teaching them to take small amounts at first and more if they get hungry later.

Learning To Cook

CHOOSING HEALTH

‘‘

Healthier Relationships

Taking the time to sit down together gives everyone a chance to learn more about each other. Plus, it adds a sense of security in family life. Put the cell phones away and turn the TV off; take this time to connect and make memories together. Incorporating family mealtime now is a lesson that your children can use for life.

Nutritious Meals

Meals prepared at home are typically more nutritious than those eaten while dining out. You get to control the ingredients and have the freedom to remove or add certain ingredients to your dishes. Preparing food with the family can help your children learn more about appropriate portion sizes and food groups. Try to set a good example by preparing healthy food options for the meal

such as lean protein, fresh vegetables and whole grains. You can start by letting your children serve themselves at

Kids love to help cook and prepare food, especially if it means spending more time with the family. This is a nice time to teach your children basic cooking skills that they can use in college and further on in life. Try to prepare some family recipes together to help pass on tradition and embrace your family culture.

Cost-Effective

Preparing meals at home is typically cheaper than going out to eat, and the price gap between cooking and dining out is growing larger. Buy your groceries in bulk for even more savings and reap the benefits of more cost-effective and healthier meals.

Make It Simple

Family mealtime does not need to be a fancy affair! If anything, keeping it simple makes it more enjoyable for the whole family. You can try to prep a few meals in the beginning of the week, or even

purchase something premade. It’s important to spend enough time together, but sitting for too long can lead to distraction and irritability. Keep things simple and make family mealtime something for everyone to look forward to.

Any Mealtime Can Be Family Mealtime

Family mealtime doesn’t have to just mean dinner. Breakfast may be the only feasible option for getting

the entire family at the table together during the day. Whatever it may be, just make time to sit together and enjoy a meal.

Hepatitis C: The End Is Near Fact: Hepatitis C is the most common chronic viral infection in the United States affecting an estimated 2.7 to 7 million people. Fact: Hepatitis C is one of the leading indications for liver transplantation and one of the most common predisposing factors for the development of primary liver cancer. Fact: Hepatitis C was previously called non-A non-B hepatitis until discovery of the hepatitis C antibody in 1991. Fact: Hepatitis C is curable in almost 99 percent of all people with the disease with all oral regimens with minimal side effects. Fact: Hepatitis C is the only chronic viral infection that can be cured with a short course of anti-viral therapy. Fact: Hepatitis C treatment improves all-cause mortality, decreases the risk of progression of cirrhosis, decreases the risk for developing primary liver cancer, decreases the need for potential liver transplantation and improves overall quality of life. Fact: Hepatitis C therapies remain unattainable for some patients due to insurance restrictions allowing these patients with curable disease to potentially progress to cirrhosis, liver cancer or need a liver transplantation. With the approval of two more potent

agents to treat hepatitis C in August 2017, we have now reached a point where we have extremely tolerable oral agents to treat all hepatitis C genotypes in naĂŻve and treatment-experienced patients, with or without cirrhosis, with or without kidney failure, even those on dialysis, with or with HIV infection and even the 1-5 percent of people who have failed the new regimens such as Harvoni, Zepatier or Viekira. The story of the development of hepatitis C therapies is one for the record books. I cannot think of a single disease entity in medical history that has gone from discovery to cure in a matter of 25 years. In 1992, the treatment for hepatitis C was interferon, an injectable medication with a very low cure rate of about 2 percent and many side effects. Interferon remained the backbone of therapy until 2014 when new therapies were introduced. Since 2014, 13 single agents and 7 combination agents have been approved. The pace of discovery and approval of treatment agents is unprecedented. The latest two agents to be approved in August 2017, Vosevi and Mavyret, complete our ability to treat the last remaining difficult to treat patients

with hepatitis C. Mavyret is a combination of two new agents, glecaprevir and pibrentasvir. It has been approved for the treatment of previously untreated patients without cirrhosis with genotypes 1-6 for an 8-week course and in those with cirrhosis, for 12 weeks. For those who failed previous treatments with interferon, ribavirin and Sofosbuvir, it is approved for 8 weeks in non-cirrhotics and 12 weeks for cirrhotics in people with genotypes 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6. It is approved for 16 weeks in people with genotype 3 who previously failed therapy with interferon, ribavirin and Sofosbuvir. In people who did not respond to agents such as Harvoni, Zepatier or Viekira, it is recommended to be used for 12 or 16 weeks depending upon the previous regimen used. Cure rates with this regimen are 98 percent Vosevi is a combination of two previously approved agents, Sofosbuvir and Velpatasvir, plus a third new agent, Voxilaprevir. It is approved for the treatment of people who failed previous regimens such as Harvoni, Zepatier or Viekira for 12 weeks regardless of whether cirrhosis is present. Cure rates with this regimen are greater

than 98 percent. Medicine now has all the tools it needs to eradicate the hepatitis C virus and cure all patients with hepatitis C infection. Sadly, not all patients are able to get these life-saving medications due to insurance restrictions. Luckily, most insurance plans in New York State cover the therapy although co-pays may vary. We have seen copays as little as $5 and as high as $3,500 per month. In New York, more than 90 percent of people with hepatitis C can get these life-saving medications. In most other parts of the country, the rates are much lower. Hopefully, as healthcare continues to be debated and delivery altered, legislators will ensure that all people with hepatitis C are able to get these medications at an affordable rate. It is both cost-saving in the long-term and the right thing to do. David Bernstein, MD, FAASLD,FACG, AGAF, FACP, is the chief of hepatology at Sandra Atlas Bass Center for Liver Diseases and a professor of medicine at Hofstra-Northwell School of Medicine.

Five Ways To Stop Feeling Overworked And Overwhelmed In my work with multi-passionate, hard working women, I frequently encounter individuals who are experiencing an overall disconnect from themselves. Meeting the constant demands of career, family and social commitments has left them feeling drained, imbalanced and alone. Purpose disappears when our sole focus becomes “doing” instead of “being”. I have developed a five step process to help individuals realign with their sense of purpose while nurturing themselves at a whole body level; even in times of stress and overload.

Center Yourself

Plan for 5-10 minutes each morning to simply be with yourself. Before you turn on your devices, walk the dog or feed your kids, take some time to mentally prepare yourself for the day ahead.

whole, unprocessed foods and make sure to pack plenty of healthy snacks to tide hunger over as it arises throughout the day. A consistent exercise routine will also program you for a more positive mindset throughout your day.

LIFE EVOLUTIONS Melody Pourmoradi This time can be used to meditate, journal or visualize—whatever will help you welcome the day with a sense of peace and calm.

Taking proper care of yourself on a physical level allows you to show up in the world more effectively and energetically. Be sure to eat

Get Organized

When you have a full schedule, it is imperative that you do as much planning ahead of time as possible to ensure a smooth day ahead. Get acquainted with the “notes” section of your iPhone and throughout the day as needed, jot down ideas, lists and other important information that need to be documented. Meal and wardrobe prep at the beginning of each week are also instrumental tools so that you can wake up each day and focus on what is most important.

Get Adequate Amounts Of Sleep

Often times we sacrifice sleep to get things done, but performing at optimal levels in our daily lives requires us to fully recharge at night. Consider a routine that includes taking a warm shower, turning off your phone for a half-hour to read a book (not on your iPad) and dimming the lights to indicate to your body that it’s time to rest. Use the tools that you find soothing on a daily basis to induce deep rest and ground yourself for the night.

Practice Your Passions

Fill your life with an abundance of things that you love. Surrounding yourself with things that you are passionate about will empower and inspire you. Find beauty everywhere.

Listen to a song that moves you. Define your bliss and put it into action. When you take the time to align with activities that bring you joy, you will operate at your best throughout the day and feel less overwhelmed and more energized. By committing to these five strategies, even the most overloaded individuals can find moments of peace, balance and centeredness in the midst of overwhelm and challenge.

“A year ago I couldn’t think about practicing yoga. Now after minimally invasive brain surgery, my pain and dizziness are gone. I found my inner focus again... THANKS TO NSPC.”

Beth’s road to recovery began with a call to Neurological Surgery, P.C. (NSPC) and a same-day appointment with a member of NSPC’s team of world-renowned brain and spine surgeons.

Great Memories About Presidents Of The Past

One of the advantages of growing older is the fact that you have so many great memories about people and things that have happened in your lifetime. As a political person, with a long history of holding public office, I look back fondly on the many people who made a difference in America’s past and I am proud that I was able to be an observer. I guess my first flashback is to John F. Kennedy. In the final days of his first campaign, I stood on Sunrise Highway in Freeport in pouring rain waiting to get a glimpse of a young dynamic candidate passing by in an open convertible. I recall his great inauguration speech proclaiming, “ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” I also recall with sadness the day he was killed during a campaign stop in Texas. The late Lyndon Johnson left many powerful memories as he fought for civil rights, passed many great laws and battled against Southern injustice. I still recall the night when he announced that he would not seek an additional term

INSIDE POLITICS Jerry Kremer

in office, primarily due to the fallout of the Vietnam War. Johnson left us with a keen understanding of how the power of the presidency can be a force for good. Richard Nixon, with all his warts, had the courage to establish a relationship with China, much against the wishes of his cabinet and the conservative Republicans. His debate with John F. Kennedy stands out as a key moment in history when two powerful figures went toe-to-toe in their battle to win the White House. The two Bush presidents left their own marks even if you disagreed with either one. George H. W. Bush, the father, brought an impressive resume to the job. His remarks that

President Kennedy on inauguration day you should “read my lips, no new taxes” is a precautionary tale for politicians to pay attention to what they say and how to keep your word when you govern. George W. Bush stood tall on a rock pile outside the former World Trade Center on 9/11 and the photo of him was of great assurance to all Americans. I can easily recite the great moments in the Clinton and Obama presidency, but that would delay the observation that the current President has denigrated the high office he holds with one tragic mistake after another. There are many who will still stand with Mr. Trump because he was their choice, but you don’t have to be blind to see that this president has turned his tenure into a circus. The past seven months have been a nightmare for our country. Trump has been a divider and not a uniter

and his conduct has made our allies around the world wonder what has happened to the America that they knew and respected. He has destroyed any possibility of legislative successes with his animosity for the Congressional leaders. The thought of him protecting us from the nut job in North Korea is frightening. The contrast between the great names of the past and the current president is stark and depressing. The history books will not have anything positive to say about the current president as his election is a fluke. I just pray that we Americans will still be around to read those books after they are written. Former State Assemblyman Jerry Kremer is a partner at Ruskin Moscou Faltischek in Uniondale.

WE LOVE OUR PETS

National Preparedness Month September is recognized as National Preparedness Month which serves as a reminder that we all must take action to prepare, now and throughout the year. The best way to protect your family from the effects of a disaster is to have a disaster plan. If you are a pet owner, that plan must include your pets. Different disasters require different responses. But whether the disaster is a hurricane or a hazardous spill, you may have to evacuate your home. In the event of a disaster, if you

must evacuate, the most important thing you can do to protect your pets is to evacuate them. Leaving pets behind, even if you try to create a safe place for them, is likely to result in their being injured, lost or worse. So prepare now for the day when you and your pets may have to leave your home. Nassau County has implemented a co-sheltering program, which allows residents and their pets to be housed in the same facility with the County Animal Response Team (CART). Under the co-sheltering

program, owners will be housed in a separate portion of the building at Nassau Community College but provided easy and controlled access to their pets. Owners will be issued identification bracelets linking them to their pets. Volunteers will operate the shelter, but less oversight will be necessary since owners are allowed to feed, exercise and interact with pets. Most other disaster shelters cannot accept pets because of state health and safety regulations and other considerations. Service animals who assist people with

disabilities are generally the only animals allowed in those disaster shelters. Town animal shelters and other animal shelters will generally have limited to no available room for owned animals during an emergency and should not be counted on to take your animal. It may be difficult, if not impossible, to find shelter for your animals in the midst of a disaster, so plan ahead. Visit www.nassaucountyspca.org/ plan.cfm for more disaster planning tips from the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SPCA.

Nassau County Animal Abuse Registry The Nassau County Animal Abuse Registry was created in 2014 by an act of the Nassau County Legislature, the registry is hosted by the Nassau County SPCA as a service to the public. Anyone convicted of animal cruelty in Nassau County after May of 2014 is required to submit information to the Nassau County Police Department. That information is transmitted to Nassau County SPCA and posted here. The registry is not retroactive. Convictions prior to the establishment of the registry will not be listed, therefore this is not a comprehensive

historical list of all people convicted of animal abuse in Nassau County. The information listed here has

been supplied by convicted offenders to the Nassau County Police Department and Nassau County SPCA does not guarantee accuracy, completeness or timeliness of the information contained on the website. Offenders are required to update their information annually. It is possible that information obtained through this website may not reflect current residences of individuals on the registry. Any individual who believes that information contained in the registry is not accurate should contact Nassau County SPCA. Offenders who need to update their own information must do so with the

Nassau County Police Department Anyone selling, giving away or adopting an animal to another person in Nassau County must check the registry prior to any change in ownership. Giving, selling or adopting an animal to a person on the registry is a violation of county law. To Report Animal Cruelty email crueltystoppers@ncspca.us or call 516-843-7722. If are reporting an emergency, or that an animal is it about to be imminently injured or killed, call 911 and request immediate police response. Visit www. nassaucountyspca.org for more information.

JFauci@antonmediagroup.com

eather experts are predicting a mild fall this season and while most of us, myself included, are already sipping on pumpkin coffee and eager to break out boots and sweaters, technically, it is still summer until Sept. 22. So during those last few sunny and heat filled days where you’re just not ready to go inside, consider these last-minute summer entertaining tips from lifestyle expert Kat Tanita. She makes the most of summer fun with friends and Callie Collection wines and shares how to elevate your late season outdoor entertaining.

Tip 1

When entertaining outdoors, Tanita recommends keeping the décor simple and chic and let the food and wine do the talking. Callie Collections wines are made in California, complete with a California poppy. Tanita loves to add bright pops of color to her décor, an easy way to change up your tablescape.

Holiday Mathis Holiday Mathis Mathis HOROSCOPES ByByByHoliday

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND Let’s Go Out

ARIES (March 21-April 19). People look up to individuals who are able to remain emotionally strong in stressful circumstances, and you definitely fall into that category for most situations this week. If anything can rock your resolve, though, it’s someone you deeply love. In this case, a sense of humor will be better than a good defense.

Solution: 26 Letters

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). En route to developing their own identities there’s a phase many children go through in which they disagree with much of what’s presented to them. You may spend part of the week in this mode as you fine-tune your worldview. You’ll be wise to keep contrary opinions to yourself until you’ve worked out the kinks. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). This week someone may consider you to be a hero or an angel. It’s as though you are heaven’s agent, carrying out the will of beneficent forces. It’s not your talent or any unique trait or outstanding ability that qualifies you for this office; it’s your simplest attributes like modesty, kindness and efficiency. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You get people. You notice their knee-jerk reactions and understand the chain of events leading there -- the attitudes, beliefs and interaction styles at play. But what about when it’s you having the reaction? That’s tricky. Objective and honest (but kind) friends will be key to understanding yourself this week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve ideas in your head that, for one reason or another, you never acted on. You just couldn’t come up with a way or a time to bring them into being that made sense, and now they are like orphans growing older as they wait for an adoption. You’ll return to one such idea with good news. The time has come. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Those who enter the scene wanting to prove something will not be open to learning. Since you will be in a position to teach this week, it will help to know whom you’re dealing with. Separate the willing students from those who have a different agenda. Set an educational tone right from the start. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s this thing in you that doesn’t exist anywhere else, and if you don’t act on it, it never will. Probably it’s an idea, but maybe it’s more amorphous than even that, like a manner of being, an approach or a state of mind that allows for unique energies to flow and create through you. Bottom line: Express yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There won’t be one place, a single school of thought or an individual teacher who can give you the right plan. Take a little from here and a little from there, and mix it with what you already know. You’ll be a master chef at life’s recipe when you use instincts honed by your past experience to pull together your masterpiece. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are things to worry about and things not to worry about. “Will that person call me back?” falls into the “not to worry about” category, but it belongs to a subset of similar thoughts that are very useful to you this week because they tell you that you need to get busy with bigger challenges and more exciting problems. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Objects, with all the magic and stories they carry, will impact the flow of your week. Perhaps you’ll be chasing after a coveted acquisition, searching for what was lost or giving a special object new beauty. In the end, the objects that are gifted have more meaning than those that come or go through purchase or trade. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). This is a time to be careful about what you praise in others and yourself. Your praise will signal back to your own values and taste. Also, what you give your attention to will grow. Remember that it takes zero skill to be born beautiful or strong, and it takes no talent whatsoever to spend other people’s money. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll ask yourself, “Is this too much? Will I come off as too eager? Is it a wasted effort?” Maybe the answer is “yes” all around... but go forward anyway. You’ll learn by doing. You’ll know more about yourself and about the world when you’re bold enough to do things. Would you rather be too cool for school or vividly alive?

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You’ll work at what seems interesting to you until it no longer does, and then you’ll do something else. Happiness is in the doing! It’s not the goal-oriented process that you’ve tried before, but you’re more intuitive than ever, so it works for you. You’ll feel your way through passages without a lot of painstaking decision-making and get on to discovering, loving, healing, growing and adventuring. More than ever, you’ll lead with your heart. Payoffs are biggest in October, January and May. COPYRIGHT 2017 CREATORS.COM

John Pizzarelli

Back To The Bossa Nova

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

usical dexterity is John Pizzarelli’s forte. How else can you define a major strength of this jazz guitarist whose career dates back to 1980 and includes a string of albums that have found him paying homage to a broad array of influences? Along with expected nods to giants like Duke Ellington and legendary Great American Songbook composers Richard Rodgers and Johnny Mercer, the New Jersey native has also tipped his cap to more contemporary artists, including The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Steely Dan and Tom Waits. This year has found Pizzarelli going back to the well and paying homage to a pair of major influences, the Chairman of the Board and bossa nova, via the release of Sinatra & Jobim @ 50, a nod to the storied 1967 album Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim. Having worked with Jobim’s grandson Daniel on the 2004 Bossa Nova album, Pizzarelli

reached out to his longtime friend for this project, which not only found them revisiting numbers from the original Sinatra album including “Baubles, Bangles and Beads,” “Dindi” and “I Concentrte On You,” but a pair of bossa nova-flavored originals. The anniversary of the landmark Sinatra outing made going down this particular path a logical choice. Morever, the duo’s familiarity with one another meant the project was completed in the same three-day time span as the original Sinatra/ Jobim collaboration. “It was fairly easy because we had done two-week runs at the Carlyle about four years ago,” Pizzarelli recalled. “Those gigs were two 75-minute programs, so a lot of this material was taken from them. We had a number of those arrangements done, which it made it a lot easier putting the record together. It was just a matter of sharpening up the songs and getting it all together.” Having recently wrapped up a string of dates promoting the new album in

a group that included his wife Jessica Molaskey and daughter Madeline Pizzarelli, the guitarist is changing gears for an all-Nat King Cole program he’ll be performing with the Ramsey Lewis Trio at one of Pizzarelli’s favorite venues—the Tilles Center. Having recorded a pair of all-Cole albums and worked with Lewis on this kind of show, Pizzarelli won’t be missing a beat in changing gears for this particular outing. “[This show is] a fun thing. Ramsey plays a bunch of great piano solos that are associated with Nat, and I sing all the Nat Cole things. We not only cover ‘Straighten Up and Fly Right’ and ‘Route 66,’ but there’s also

‘Unforgettable’ and some of the pop standards in there too,” he explained. “So it really is a fun evening and sort of unique to Ramsey’s style too, which is great. It’s Ramsey’s trio and I’m with them. Plus it’s a home game for me and I really enjoy it. We’ve done this all over and even played this show in Alaska.” John Pizzarelli will be appearing with the Ramsey Lewis Trio on Sept. 15 at The Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, 720 Northern Blvd., Greeenvale. For more information, visit www.tillescenter. org or call 516-299-3100. Visit www. longislandweekly.com for a longer version of this story and learn about Pizzarelli’s favorite guitarists.

Advocates for hot yoga say the sauna-like room, which reaches temperatures over 100 degrees, provides an environment to warm muscles, which facilitates deeper stretching in shorter amounts of time, as well as faster healing to prevent injury. The high heat also produces lots of sweat and consequent toxin-release, leaving attendees with glowing skin. Class participants are guided through a series of 26 postures, designed to stimulate and restore every muscle, joint and organ of the body.
