future wife Barbra Streisand was also making her stage debut. Gould made the leap to film in 1966’s Quick, Let’s Get Married. And while he nabbed a Best Supporting Oscar nomination for his work in 1969’s Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, it was his work with director Robert Altman that significantly raised his profile. Starting with 1970’s MASH, Gould and Altman worked on a number of films together including 1974’s California Split and 1973’s The Long Goodbye, a neo-noir crime thriller that found Gould playing Raymond Chandler’s storied private

or a certain generation, Elliott Gould was Ross and Monica Geller’s father Jack on Friends, Liev Schreiber’s boss Ezra Goldman in Ray Donovan and Reuben Tishkoff in filmmaker Steven Soderbergh’s Ocean’s Trilogy. Currently, you can find Gould playing Harry Roberts in the new CBS sitcom 9JKL. His Roberts is the father to Josh Roberts, played by series lead and co-creator Mark Feuerstein (Royal Pains). That said, Gould’s background as an actor dates back to growing up in Brooklyn, attending PS 247 and eventually attending Manhattan’s Professional Children’s School. These early beginnings would lead to later Hollywood success, but when asked what made him want to be an actor, Gould will be the first to admit that becoming a thespian wasn’t the original plan. “Who said I [wanted to be an actor]? I had an imagination and I would listen to the radio. There was a show on Saturday mornings that I would listen to, called Let’s Pretend. If you go back in history, you’ll find it. I was extremely inhibited, shy and repressed and I wasn’t the only one even though I’m an only child. So I was brought to song and dance school and I thought that while this was not what I had in mind, I didn’t know what I would be,” he recalled. “I had to take the subway into Manhattan to go to the Professional Children’s School and my parents had to pay for me to go there. I wasn’t a great student, although there were some subjects I was deeply interested in, so I could excel in some and not in others. I decided in being true to my parents and their investment in me, because I was all they had, that I would continue to pursue this and I was able to find myself. And that’s how I became an actor.” Gould’s song and dance skills led to work in the Broadway theatre in the late 1950s, where he made his debut in a 1957 production of Rumple. His first leading role was in 1962’s I Can Get It For You Wholesale, where fellow Brooklyn native and his

investigator Philip Marlowe. Gould’s relationship with Altman is one he remembers fondly. “Oh my God, [Altman] was a bit like my father. Not only did he give me all this space. he let me take it. At first, he almost let me cast myself as Trapper [John] because he was talking to me doing the American southerner—the Tom Skerritt role— and he asked how I would feel. I never question work, but I said I’d be very intense in terms of how he’d use me as an American southerner. I could do it. I have a musical ear and I could do it. But this guy, Trapper John, I’ve got what that character has and Bob gave me the part,” Gould explained. “I didn’t know how to work like [Altman] and he didn’t necessarily understand how I work. But then we were able to do some great things together and we had some other things planned to do…even the sequel to The Long Goodbye.” For someone with such an impressive acting legacy, Gould is incredibly humble and generous, particularly when talking about fellow actors, like his current costar Linda Lavin (“It’s more than just a privilege working with her. She’s very gifted, very giving, very experienced and we are a very funny couple.”). He’s equally gracious while politely declining to name what his favorite roles may have been. As someone whose humility runs deep, Gould’s is unabashed in crediting his faith as something that he’s used as a compass throughout his personal and professional life, “My belief is that religion is about discipline and I believe in discipline. And in all honesty and sincerity, no one can tell me one is better than any other one. But when it comes to my roots in the tradition, I will not deny it,” he explained. “I believe a grain of pride is good for the heart but no more than that because then it’s blinding. History, what we are and how we got to be—I’ve got several quotations of Albert Einstein in my head and I’m extremely privileged and humbly happy in terms of what I’ve accomplished in terms of making a full circle. It’s very moving to me.”

t was only a matter of time before the iconic luxury retailer gave clients the ultimate experience of dining like Holly Golightly. Audrey Hepburn’s character in Breakfast At Tiffany’s made her frequent pilgrimage to Tiffany & Co., and now lovers of the brand have more of a reason to stop by. The Blue Box Café recently opened its doors on the fourth floor of the Fifth Avenue flagship store. And from ceiling to floor, everything is reminiscent of that iconic Tiffany blue. The Blue Box Café serves American classics made with the highest quality, regionally sourced ingredients. The simple menu, which will change and evolve through the seasons, is a refined take on signature New York dishes, reinvented to be uniquely Tiffany. Guests can enjoy truffle eggs and avocado toast for breakfast or a Charles Lewis Tiffany club chicken sandwich and the Fifth Avenue salad, made with lobster and avocado for lunch. A tea service will also be offered. With an inviting setting that overlooks the bustling streets of Manhattan, the café is the answer to customers’ prayers, especially those who have always dreamed of having breakfast at Tiffany. The artfully composed floor also houses Tiffany’s new luxury Home & Accessories collection of elevated everyday objects, as well as a baby boutique, sterling silver hollowware, a selection of vintage books curated by Assouline and a Tiffany fragrance laboratory.

“Both the café and redesign of the home and accessories floor reflect a modern luxury experience,” said Reed Krakoff, chief artistic officer of Tiffany & Co. “The space is experimental and experiential—a

window into the new Tiffany.” Tiffany’s craftsmanship and heritage is apparent throughout the space, but playful and unexpected touches marry harmoniously alongside elegant finishes like herringbone marble and amazonite stone, which reflect the new collection’s emphasis on everyday luxury. Perhaps most impressive is the staircase leading to the fourth floor, which features a modern trio of nearly 15-foot-high light chains, created by the Paris-based design duo Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec. And let’s not forget the man who started it all: Charles Lewis Tiffany. A portrait of Tiffany composed of 8,000 painted screws offers a more contemporary take on the luxury house’s founder. The Blue Box Café is open during store hours and reservations open 14 days out, so be sure to join the waiting list. Founded in New York in 1837, Tiffany & Co. continues to celebrate it 180th anniversary as the world’s premier jeweler with a rich and storied heritage. The flagship store, which houses The Blue Box Café, is located at 727 Fifth Ave., New York.

Big Bang Bowls And Rolls BY STEVE MOSCO SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Seemingly all sushi restaurants that have opened on Long Island in the last decade boast the same basic menu—from various negimaki to classic rolls to signature rolls with names like “Godzilla” and “Dragon.” While this has helped sushi achieve comfort food-level ubiquity on the island, it could also endanger the cuisine to becoming too homogeneous and boring. That is why anytime a restaurant brings even a cosmetic spin to sushi, it is greatly appreciated by lovers of raw fish and Japanese preparations. Enter Big Bang Sushirrito in West Hempstead. A brand new, sleek little eatery that opened within the last month, Big Bang does offer the standard sushi menu, but it also gets creative with bowls (taking advantage of the poke bowl movement) and sushirritos (where sushi meets the burrito).

‘‘

As for price, Big Bang is a real bang for the buck.

’’

Customers can choose between Big Bang’s 11 signature bowl/sushirrito preparations—or they can build a custom order with their choice of either a bowl, burrito or salad; an array of proteins including tuna, salmon, blue crab, eel and more; mix-ins like edamame, caviar, cucumber, seaweed salad; “flavors” like sweet chili aoili, eel sauce, yuzu; and finally, toppings like wonton crisps and tempura crunch. The signature creations include the spicy mix, with spicy crunch tuna and salmon, sweet tofu, onion and avocado with wasabi and sweet chili

Sushi bowls come with an array of ingredient options. aioli. Another menu item is the umami classic, which features eel, steamed shrimp, cucumber and yellow corn with eel sauce and creamy sesame aioli. Both orders shine when ordered in a sushirrito, as the new wave food construction uses seaweed in place of a burrito’s tortilla, lined with rice and stuffed with the fresh ingredients. The sushirrito is wrapped in paper, which should be peeled away as you eat, to keep from losing components out of the back end. A sushirrito is basically a longer— much longer—sushi roll, but the seaweed tortilla offers a snap to the sushi bite you didn’t know you needed, while the ingredients are bright and fresh. Big Bang’s dressings stand out, especially the pungently aromatic eel sauce. Big Bang’s staff makes building your own creation a fun and easy experience. The helpful sushi master behind the

counter has recommendations and suggestions, but ultimately adheres to the customer’s exact request. One such order included white rice, eel, spicy tuna, seaweed salad, scallions and cucumbers, along with eel sauce and sesame yuzu sauce. Fresh, bright, clean and deeply satisfying, the bowl, along with the sushirritos, are a dynamic and tasty take those favorite Japanese flavors. As for price, Big Bang is a real bang for the buck. Two sushirritos and one bowl, as well as miso and hot and sour soup with two beverages came to about $30 during lunch, which runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The restaurant is also offering grand opening deals through Dec. 31, as well as free delivery. Bottom line, Big Bang is well worth a try and frequent visits. Big Bang Sushirrito, 342 Hempstead Tpke., West Hempstead, 516-750-8889, www.bigbangsushirrito.com

Nassau County Museum of Art’s galleries were jammed recently at the invitation-only members’ preview for Fool the Eye, the museum’s newest exhibition. Organized by Franklin Hill Perrell with Debbie Wells, Fool the Eye is prompting visitors to peer closely at the intriguing works with fascination and astonishment, as they wonder: “Is this real...or a clever ruse?” In the end, they found that what they could expect at Fool the Eye is to come across the absolutely unexpected. This original exhibition, on view at the museum’s Saltzman Fine Art Building through March 4, 2018, includes works by internationally wellknown artists, among them Salvador Dali, Ben Schonzeit, Al Hirschfeld, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein and Vic Muniz, as well as work by Long Island artists of note, including Chuck Close (Long Beach and the Hamptons), Judith Leiber (Bridgehampton), Christian White (St. James), Kevin Wixted (East Marion) and Dale Zinkowski (Sea Cliff). Nassau County Museum of Art is located at One Museum Drive, off of Northern Boulevard in Roslyn Harbor.

ADMIT ONE

AT THE MOVIES

December Movie Previews BY CHERYL WADSWORTH EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

By now most of us need a break from shopping, cooking and family. Going to a theater to see a great movie is a good stress reliever. December releases start off slow but pick up speed near the end of the month. The following are just a few previews to help you decide. He’s Out There (NR) The December movie month kicks off with He’s Out There, Dec. 1, a horror/psychological thriller directed by Dennis Lliadis and starring Yvonne Strahorski, Anna Pniowsky, Abigail Pniowsky and Just Bruening. A young mother takes her two daughters to a lake house for some relaxation, however, unbeknownst to them an evil psychopath is watching their every move setting up a bizarre nightmare.

The Shape Of Water (R) Premiering Dec. 8 is Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water. Starring Sally Hawkins, Octavia Spencer, Michael Shannon and Richard Jenkins, the setting is 1962 in a government agency where a frumpy mute named Elisa works. A classified experiment is brought into the lab which she discovers and befriends. Wonderful effects and an odd love story which works.

Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle (PG-13) 1990s-era favorite Jumanji gets a reboot/sequel on Dec. 20 with Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. Directed by Jake Kasdan and starring Dwayne Johnson, Karen Gillan, Kevin Hart, Bobby Cannavale and Jack Black we pick up 20 years after the events of the first film. Instead of a board game we now have a video game. The adventures of the four teenagers who discover the console therefore sucking them into

the game are hilarious. No one can replace Robin Williams, but this is a fun movie for the family.

Pitch Perfect 3 (PG-13) Ferdinand (PG) Also opening on Dec. 15 is Ferdinand, directed by Carlos Saldanha. This delightful animated movie is based on the book written by Munro Leaf about a bull who would much rather smell flowers and prance in the field then fight against matadors. He is taken from his home and must endure several adventures to return. Kate McKinnon, Bobby Cannavale, David Tennant, John Cena and Gina Rodriguez are just a few who lend their voices to bring these characters to life.

Directed by Trish Sie, Pitch Perfect 3 premieres on Dec. 22. Ruby Rose, Anna Kendrick, Hailee Steinfeld, Elizabeth Banks, Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow and Anna Camp star in the third movie about the Bellas. Having graduated from college, the

Bellas are trying to figure out their personal lives while still longing for the fun of their past. Aubrey reunites the Bellas for one last competition overseas. Can they meet the challenge with these new groups? A lot of good music and fun.

Film Stars Don’t Die In Liverpool (R) Dec. 29 sees Turner. Bening portrays actress the release of Gloria Grahame who finds happiness Film Stars Don’t with a much younger man. However, Die in Liverpool. it is short-lived as she is diagnosed Directed by Paul with breast cancer. Oscar-worthy McGuigan starring Annette Bening, performances all around.

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE

ONE OF THE GREAT HEART HOSPITALS ONE OF THE GREAT

NEUROSCIENCE HOSPITALS?

It takes a great team of highly skilled, board-certified neurologists, neurointerventionalists, and neurosurgeons. But it’s not enough to have the best doctors. So we’ve also put the best tools and treatments in their hands. Tools that let them see deep inside the blood vessels of the brain or scan the human spine in high resolution. St. Francis is among the few hospitals that can apply neuronavigational tracking technology to spinal surgeries. Our neurointerventionalists use the latest stroke technology that can save a life in a heartbeat. No wonder we’ve become a leader in stroke care on Long Island. And what’s true for stroke care is true for muscle and nerve disorders, seizures, dementia, and everything else we do. Because great doctors and their teams make great hospitals.

Learn about Nassau’s newest and successful treatment program for those who are dependent on heroin or pain pills, by attending one of the county’s free weekly education and support groups. Those suffering from addiction, as well as their family members and friends, are welcome to attend the informational meeting which is held every Tuesday, from 7 to 9 p.m. at Saint Bernard’s, 3100 Hempstead Tpke. in Levittown, room 206. Statistics indicate that 195 people died in Nassau last year from opioid overdoses. In 2017, as of July 15, 98 residents have died from an overdose of prescription and/or illegal drugs. The

county’s program, called A Shot at Life combines monthly injections of long acting Naltrexone—an opioid blocker—with substance abuse counseling or other treatment, for about 15 months. Vivitrol—the brand-name of the non-narcotic, non-addictive shot—is administered by a healthcare professional and therefore can’t be abused or diverted. It works by capping the brain’s opiate receptors for about 28 days, blocking the user’s high and reducing the cravings for opioids. It’s FDA-approved for relapse prevention, is covered under most private insurance and Medicaid and

is available at more than a dozen substance abuse treatment agencies across the Island. Recipients should be willing to stop, and be opioid-free for 7-10 days, before receiving the initial shot or risk precipitated withdrawal. Nassau’s Opioid Treatment Program, located in Building K on the grounds of Nassau University Medical Center, offers Vivitrol, Methadone and Suboxone treatment tracks—on an outpatient basis. To be screened for possible admission into the county’s Shot at Life program, call the clinic’s intake number at 516-572-5801.

When Your Child Relates Better To Screens Than Human Beings North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center recently hosted psychotherapist, author and parenting expert Sean Grover for a workshop titled “When Your Child Relates Better to Screens than Human Beings.” We were pleased to offer this program to help fortify parents during these difficult times. As tech-dependence increases, many kids move through the world in a self-centered bubble, separated from their own thoughts and feelings, as well as the thoughts and feelings of others. As conversation skills and positive interactions crumble, technology even starts to change kids’ sense of humanity; they are less compassionate and sensitive to others. The workshop explored these vital issues and offered advice about what parents can do to help. “Everywhere you look, children are staring into cell phones, screens, computer screens, tablets, iPads and more,” said Grover, who has appeared on the Today Show, in the New York Times and in many other media outlets. “While some kids use

technology as a pastime, others are absorbed by it. Technology devours their lives. They can’t put it down or turn it off. These kids tend to be more isolated and anxious, have poor people skills, difficulty maintaining friendships or an unstable sense of self.” In his workshop, Grover gave parents guidelines on how to take back control and help their offspring wean off their technology addiction. Here are some of his tips:

Tech Blackouts

Set aside specific times at home when no one (parents included) uses technology. Cell phones, computers, iPad...everything is

off. If you want your kid to be less tech-addicted, you must lead the way. Tech-free time can be spent reading, talking, playing games, cooking, making art...anything creative or social will do.

Hanukkah Menorah Honors Holocaust Hero Made of brass, copper and steel, the Janusz Korczak Small Menorah measures 10¼ inches by 2½ inches by 4 inches and costs $118.

BY SHERI ARBITALJACOBY SARBITALJACOBY@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

s you light the menorah this Hanukkah, your family can contribute to a worthy cause and be inspired by a true hero. If you’ve seen the feature film The Zookeeper’s Wife, you may recall scenes that featured a doctor who refused to be saved so that he could look after the children. The legacy of this remarkable pediatrician, writer, educator, philosopher and children’s rights advocate Janusz Korczak,who sacrificed his own life to nurture 200 children, is well-known in Poland and Israel, with schools and streets named after him, yet few people in America have ever heard of him. Korczak is the personal hero of Irving Roth, an 87-year-old Holocaust survivor and the director of the Holocaust Resource Center at Temple Judea in Manhasset, who has collaborated with the Long

Island–based Jewish Gift Place and renowned Judaica artist Gary Rosenthal to commemorate Korczak and his children with a Hanukkah menorah modeled after the 7-foot-by-20-foot sculpture, “The Last Journey,” which is on display outside the temple. “He believed in creating a good society, particularly for children,” said Roth. “From this came the idea that he can take children who were abused, neglected

He accomplished that with an orphanage in Warsaw for Jewish children. The concept of fairness permeates his whole personality. He had many opportunities to escape, but wouldn’t abandon the children. He stayed with them on the cattle car to Treblinka and gave his life so the children wouldn’t be frightened.” All of the proceeds from the Janusz Korczak Menorah, which is available in three sizes, will

be donated to the Holocaust Resource Center, whose mission is to combat ignorance, hatred and violence. Handmade of brass, copper and steel, each menorah comes with a brochure featuring the life story of Korczak along with a signed card by Roth. The small menorah measures 10¼ inches by 2½ inches by 4 inches and costs $118; the large is 10¼ inches by 2½ inches by 6½ inches and costs $180; and the extra-large menorah measures 22 inches by 15 inches by 4½ inches, weighs 12 pounds and costs $540. Watch a 10-minute video about Korczak, narrated by Roth, at www. jewishgiftplace.com/janusz-video .html.

Gifts To Wow Office Workers BY KIMBERLY DIJKSTRA KDIJKSTRA@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

t feels great to give someone the perfect gift. It means you thought about them and considered what they would enjoy most. Sometimes that means giving them something they wouldn’t think to buy for themselves. If the people on your list have office jobs, that is a good place to start.

Varidesk Redefines ‘Desk Job’

Improve health and productivity with a standing desk BY KIMBERLY DIJKSTRA KDIJKSTRA@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

t’s no secret that a sedentary lifestyle is unhealthy. A little bit of exercise goes a long way to improving physical and mental well-being. What may not be so obvious is that sitting for 40 hours a week at a desk job constitutes a sedentary lifestyle. Many studies have shown that prolonged sitting is linked to heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer and early death, regardless of how productive you’re being while sitting. They’ve created a series of different models that turn any desk into a standing desk. The Pro Plus 36 is the best-selling model because of its versatility. With a footprint of 36 inches wide and 29.75 inches deep, it will fit on top of most desks. The sleek design will fit in anywhere and it comes fully assembled. Nobody expects you to

and buy a Varidesk, prepare for lots of compliments from your coworkers. With multiple monitors and an air of confidence, they’ll start calling your desk “Mission Control” and you’ll soon have imitators. There’s no better trend to start in your office than a trend toward a healthy lifestyle. Getting a Varidesk is a no-brainer. The flexibility and ingenious design is what makes it a shrewd purchase— a purchase that may end up

adding years to your life. The Varidesk Pro Plus 36 costs $395. It comes in four colors—Black, White, Butcher Block and Darkwood. Shipping is free. Varidesk products come with a no-risk 30-day guarantee. Take a look at what other models and accessories are available at www. varidesk.com.

That’s where a standing desk comes in. There’s no law that says you must sit to do your work. In fact, standing for periods of time each day can help improve your productivity and energy levels. It makes a lot of sense to stand during the workday—and a Varidesk makes it easy and comfortable. The engineers at Varidesk did their homework.

stand all day and luckily Varidesk thought of that. There are 11 height settings and lifting is spring-assisted, so it requires little effort. Just like you wouldn’t sign up for a marathon without ever practicing, you won’t want to push yourself to stand all day the first time you try the Varidesk. Set small goals for yourself and after a few weeks it will feel natural to stand for longer periods of time. As long as you’re standing for only as long as you are comfortable, you will be getting the most out of the Varidesk. The Varidesk’s upper platform comfortably holds two computer monitors, or a monitor and a laptop, and the lower platform accommodates a full-size keyboard and mouse. All together it supports up to 35 pounds. When you take the plunge

Selecting An Experience-Based Gift For The Holidays

he holidays are an exciting time; they signal family, togetherness and cheer. While we find joy in preparing for the holidays and picking out presents for our partner, this can also create a great deal of stress. Selecting the “perfect gift” can be a challenge, because after celebrating a few occasions with our partner, we may not know what else to get him/her. If we already covered all of the standard classics such as clothing, jewelry and perfume/cologne, what else is left? A great deal of importance is placed on the gifts we give our partners, therefore, we want it to be meaningful and an accurate representation of how we feel about our loved one. It’s not what we

perfect for your holiday celebrations.

Take a cooking class

LOVE LESSONS Marisa T. Cohen

give, but what it means that matters. Rather than stress, I suggest you choose an experience this holiday season. Choosing an experience allows you and your partner to spend quality time with one another, as well as build memories to last for a lifetime. Below are some suggestions for experienced-based gifts

If your partner has a favorite cuisine, select a cooking class focused on that food. The class will allow you to spend time together, learn a new skill, and take home some (hopefully) delicious food. You will also be able to recreate the menu items together in the future.

Plan a weekend trip

Spend a weekend away from the stresses of your everyday lives, focusing only on each other. Look for weekend getaways within 1-2 hours of where you live, so you can zip off after work and enjoy your adventure together. Consider picking a location that allows you to enjoy fun seasonal activities. For the

holiday season, you may want to spend a weekend skiing, ice skating, or just sipping hot chocolate by the fire. Also, take some time to think about what types of activities your partner enjoys. If he/she doesn’t enjoy the great outdoors, a weekend snowshoeing may not be best.

Take lessons

This heading is intentionally vague, because you have to select something that would be meaningful to your partner. Is there a sport that your partner particularly enjoys? Perhaps getting him/her a lesson with a pro (ex. golf lessons), may help him/her fine-tune his/her game. Is there a sport that your partner has always wanted to learn? Now may be the time. Buy yourself lessons too, as learning a new

sport/skill together can help strengthen your bond.

Food/Drink related event

Are the two of you wine connoisseurs or mac and cheese aficionados? If so, look up any food related events, festivals, tastings in your area. These are often seasonal, so set a reminder if you already missed the event so you can catch it the next time around. Pick an experience that is meaningful to your partner and use it as a way to create new memories together. Happy shopping and happy holidays! Marisa T.

We really just focus on creating memories and traditions.” While geared toward children, the Christmas village places no age limit on the event. Older kids and couples can enjoy the offered activities, browse the shops, which will remain open during the Christmas village hours, and simply take in the Christmas cheer the village provides. Parents tend to get involved with the decorative activities as Marino explained how children usually favor the craftier offerings. “I think they really do like the ornament and cookie decorating because they can sit down and we make it look like Santa’s workshop and it’s really cute in there and the parents can sit

with them,” she said. “You just get in the spirit and it’s really fun, so it’s good for the whole family.” There will also be a display of Hank Jorgensen’s detailed, handmade Christmas decorations. Jorgensen’s family donated his creations to Milleridge after his passing last year, and setting everything up has quickly become a Christmas village tradition. “It’s super old, but it’s all crazy detailed and in working condition and then there’s all these things that move and trains and lights; it’s like a whole insane setup that we now do as our tradition,” Marino described. “The [Jorgensen] family comes and it’s very emotional and it’s so much fun to watch and create.” While walking around and enjoying the scene is free of charge, expect to incur a small charge for each activity. Christmas Village activities are open Monday through Friday from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and weekends from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. For more information visit milleridgeinn.com or call 516-931-2201.

Sensory Bounce Therapy Makes Learning More Fun

Let your money work harder for you

BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF SPECIALSECTOINS@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

The Sensory Bounce Therapy program is designed to help children with Autism, ADHD, social skills, motor delays and sensory issues. Run by an occupational therapist, the program, which is available at BounceU or Pump It Up locations in the tri-state area, is a structured, exciting and dynamic sensory motor and social skills therapy group that combines the most ideal sensory equipment with occupational therapy and lots of fun. The facility’s challenging inflatables and stimulating environment help address balance, stamina and independence, social interaction, gross motor and coordination, body in space awareness and fine motor skills. In strengthening these foundation skills, children will then develop good handwriting, reading, sequencing and problem solving skills. Another draw of the program is that since it is

set up as a natural play environment, Sensory Bounce Therapy is able to facilitate eye contact and language, impulse control, taking turns, frustration tolerance, team building and sportsmanship. Different than other therapy programs, this one features one session per week that runs all year long in addition to summer camps. A small group dynamic of 12 children at most fosters more individualized attention. There is also a free parents support group that is run simultaneously by social worker.

Keeping Your Kids Healthy

Essential tips for teen nutrition

BY JENNIFER BERKOWITZ

SPECIALSECTIONS@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

What does a healthy teen lifestyle consist of? The topic of nutrition has always been a relevant and much-needed area within our schools, particularly at the middle and high schools. Education is proving to be a must in order to understand the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and it starts right at home. It is important for teens to be aware of the nutrients needed to fuel their bodies. Healthychildren. org states that protein, carbohydrates and fats in food serve as the body’s energy sources. The right vitamins and minerals are also essential. Adolescents in the United States are proven to

get twice as much protein than they actually need. In fact, 50 percent of their body weight is actually made up of protein. Teenage favorites such as beef, chicken and turkey are just some of the foods that are stocked full with protein. Next is a carbohydrate, which gets converted into the body’s main fuel, the simple sugar glucose. Nutritionists recommend that complex carbohydrates make up 50 percent to 60 percent of a teenager’s caloric intake. These complex carbohydrates provide sustained energy, particularly for the teen that is active. This explains why you might see athletes or marathon runners eating big bowls of pasta before an event. Simple carbs, on the other hand, have little to offer besides tasting sweet

and providing a brief burst of energy. Therefore, it should be minimized in the diet. Fatty foods contain cholesterol, a waxy substance that can clog an artery and eventually cause it to harden. Regardless of if a teen is active, a high fat intake will always make them put on weight. It would take a lot of grueling effort to try to burn off excess fat calories day after day. An important tip is to read food labels carefully to see how much fat, sugar, and sodium is in the foods eaten every day. Also, almost all packaged goods that contain fat are likely to have partially hydrogenated fat, because it has a longer shelf life. A well-rounded diet based on the USDA

see TEEN NUTRITION on page 18A

guidelines should deliver sufficient amounts of all vitamins and minerals that are essential. “Teens need a variety of essential nutrients during periods of growth. Adolescents at their peak growth will require twice as much calcium, iron, zinc and magnesium,” said Colleen Farley Cornell, a pediatric nutritionist from Winthrop Hospital. Unless blood tests and a pediatrician’s evaluation show a specific deficiency, it’s recommended to obtain nutrients from food instead of dietary supplements. As far as calories, during middle and late adolescence, girls roughly eat 25 percent fewer calories per day than boys do, meaning they are more likely to be deficient in vitamins and minerals. “Some teenagers reduce caloric intake by skipping meals or cutting out entire food groups. These methods to lose weight are unhealthy and may leave out important nutrients teens need,” Cornell said. For example, cutting out grains or carbohydrates may lead to an inadequate intake of B Vitamins, Riboflavin, Thiamin, Folic Acid, Pyridoxine, and Niacin. Another example Cornell provided is cutting out dairy may lead to decreased levels of Calcium and Vitamin D. Cutting out all meat may lead to low iron and B12 levels. The amount of calories a teen needs depends upon age, gender, activity length and period growth. “Adolescents are encouraged to maintain caloric balance to support normal growth and development without causing excessive weight gain,” Cornell said. Teens require the calcium equivalent of about four 8-ounce glasses of milk daily. Some other foods that supply as much calcium as a glass of milk are eight ounces of yogurt and two cups of low-fat cottage cheese. Females aged 13 to 17 have an intake of approximately 1,000 milligrams

per day while the daily recommended intake for this age group is 1300 milligrams per day. Males of the same age meet their requirements at about 1400 milligrams per day. Iron deficiency is common in adolescent females and people who limit meat. Menstruating young women are at increased risk because their diets may not contain enough iron-rich foods to make up for monthly losses. Foods like beef, poultry and pork and good non-meat sources like beans, nuts and vegetables will help them to secure a balanced diet. “Many teenagers’ diets contain too much fat, sugar, caffeine and sodium and not enough nutrient dense food choices such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein and low fat dairy,” Cornell said. Snacks, if they are done right, can provide the nutrients a child needs. For example, yogurt with whole grain cereal mixed in or low-fat cottage cheese on whole grain crackers can double as a healthy snack and a quick and satisfying breakfast. According to health.gov, in food groups, active teen boys and girls require certain amounts of servings within each group a day. For example, teen girls need four servings of vegetables a day and teen boys need 5. For the non-active teen, the CDC recommends that high school girls eat at least 1.5 cups of fruit and 3 cups of vegetables a day. The right nutrition can change teen lives for the better. The earlier they start a healthy change, the more positive outcome they will receive in the years to come.

Toilet Training Toilet training can be a daunting task. We may think of “going to the bathroom” as a one step process; yet, it is quite complicated. Children have to be aware of the need to go. They must stop the task in which they are engrossed and deal with the many steps that can be overwhelming for a young body and mind.

Readiness

Readiness is not tied to chronological age. Some are ready for training at 18 months, and others are not ready until after they turn age 3. Ability and motivation are both needed. Can your child follow simple directions? Can she take off her pants and put them on? Can she manipulate buttons, the toilet seat, and the lights in the room? Does he have the ability to recognize the physical signs that he needs to go, and can he hold it until he is at the toilet?

Model

Having your child watch you use the bathroom is a natural way to have her learn how to appropriately use the toilet. Communicate how you knew it was time to go, and narrate what you are doing step by step. Teach your child the words your family uses for body

PARENTING MATTERS

parts, urine, bowel movements, and bathroom equipment.

Graziella Simonetti

Life Circumstances

It may not be wise to start training during major life changes. Life changes can be stressful; can make children regress; and may be a time when your child needs additional TLC.

Read

Read toilet training books to your children during regular story times and keep the books in the bathroom. Stress the universal aspect of the process.

Stay Calm

A relaxed approach is critical. Train when you will have the time and patience. Remain calm when there are setbacks and do not view them as failure; it is part of the process. Note that boys tend to train a bit more slowly than girls, and the second child may master training more quickly than firstborn.

Communicate

Help your child recognize when they are urinating or having a bowel movement. Communicate what is occurring and emphasize how uncomfortable

wet diapers are and how good it feels to be clean and dry.

Understanding Anxiety

Some children consider bowel movements as part of them and seeing material disappear down the toilet is terrifying. Ask your son if he can tell you what he is feeling and help assure him that the rest of him will not disappear with it. Have him practice flushing safe items down the toilet.

Other Options

Have an Underwear Weekend when you do not have outside obligations. Explain that for the entire weekend, your child will wear underwear. If your child does well with it, you can continue; if not, you can wait a bit. Another option is to put your child on the toilet every 15 minutes for a few hours at a time, and at the end of the session, put a diaper back on. Later on, have another session. A few days later, attempt a full-day session. Consider setting up a reward system. Offer a

sticker, a hand stamp, or small prizes for successful potty attempts. Parents can take children to the dollar store to choose meaningful prizes and bigger prizes for bigger successes such as a full day of staying dry. During training, make sure children are wearing easy to remove clothing.

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND What’s the Forecast?

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The importance of speech filters cannot be underestimated. Those who say everything that pops into their heads are definitely not operating in top social form. But there are treasures to be gained for the thoughtful and strategic conversationalists. When in doubt, focus on the other person.

Solution: 20 Letters

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The problem with walls is that while they wall everything else out, they wall you in. There is a point at which protection becomes a prison. Prevent this from happening by counterbalancing your life indoors (or inside your emotional protective structures) with time in the world and the wilder reaches of feeling. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Productivity and confidence are, of course, linked. You’re not going to feel particularly good about the week unless you get through the things that are important to you. One thing in particular is on your mind. If it’s the only thing you accomplished this week, you’d be satisfied. So start there! CANCER (June 22-July 22). There was a time when the odds were not in your favor; then it all went wrong. And guess what? You prevailed anyway. This is who you are. Recall the story, and tell it again to yourself and to anyone who will listen. Remember who you are: a survivor, the hero of your own life. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re good at giving -- better than most, in fact. The secret to this is in paying attention to what others want and need and providing it. Acting in the moment will be a big part of this in the days to come. Opportunities will show up suddenly and disappear just as fast. Seize your moments. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re out to put your stamp on the world this week. At first it will seem like you’re out to impress another, but once you dig a little deeper it will be clear to you that the one to impress is someone you meet in the mirror every day. Your success in the matter will set you on a trajectory. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What you want is not what you need, and what you need is not what you want. Rectify this and at first life will be distasteful to you, but at last you’ll find the peace and serenity your spirit has been craving. What’s right is also healing and generally better, though it might not be particularly glamorous or ego-enhancing. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When you get in motion, you’re a force to be reckoned with. Until then, it can be a little frustrating. This week features some meandering while you search for the right thing to apply yourself to. Sleep and self-care are what’s needed. Answers will come to you in an almost mystical way. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). What and whom can be trusted in this world? It is natural for people who are just finding out that life is filled with myths, legends and fiction passing as “reality” to lean toward a mindset that’s cynical. Cynicism is darkness. Resist. There is some truth in made-up stories, and there is some falseness in facts. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be the tour guide who knows a place well. This might pertain to a location on a map, a headspace or a process. You’ll help people. Some will be clueless and seemingly without appreciation for what you’ll share. Don’t let that deter you. You’ll make a stronger impression than appearances might suggest. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your climb to mastery will be rapid this week. You’ll find quality time to practice alone, during which you’ll focus yourself well, repeat what’s working and then gain new insights by meeting up with others to teach or be taught. Keep this up and greatness is well within reach. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You care so much about the people, pets and environment around you that you may get overwhelmed when people around you do disappointing things. Take a breath. Then, in the words of St. Francis of Assisi, “start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.”

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

The main goal will change in the next three months as you start to realize you have talents that aren’t being realized and needs that aren’t being met. The adventure that ensues will include lifestyle changes and a new approach to finance. You’ll be a strong contender in a competition in March. The way you handle family matters will endear you to all. Certain kin will be among your top supporters, though people are coming into your life in 2018 who will provide fresh insight and lift.

The Band’s Visit Invites Connection BY BETSY ABRAHAM

BABRAHAM@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

“M

aybe music is the food of love, but music and love, who can tell them apart?” Therein lies the essence of The Band’s Visit, the subtle, yet poignant show that shines a spotlight on the transcendent power of music to overcome differences and connect people. Having started off-Broadway, the show moved to the Great White Way on Nov. 9, weaving a rich and mesmerizing story set against a stirring score. The play centers around an Egyptian Police Band, which, after a mix-up at the border, finds itself in a remote village in the middle of the Israeli desert. With no choice but to spend the night, the musicians find themselves immersed in the lives of the locals. Music quickly opens the door for the musicians to form bonds with the people in the sleepy town of Bet Hatikvah. It makes a widower come alive with memories of his late wife, encourages a hapless romantic to make his move and sparks a connection between the strong-willed café owner and the reserved band leader. The show has already received critical acclaim, including several “Best Musical” honors, a worthy title given the lively and transformative nature of the score. In addition to a clarinet, violin and cello, Arabic percussion instruments and an oud on stage bring David Yazbek’s Middle Eastern

inspired music and lyrics to life. In addition to a memorable score, the show’s cast lays a firm foundation of talent that makes the play unforgettable, with Tony Shalhoub (Tewfiq) and Katrina Lenk (Dina) taking starring roles. Lenk is captivating as the headstrong, yet lonely café owner who finds herself surprised and unsettled at the bond she forms with the new man in town. Shalhoub, best known for his role as an obsessive-compulsive detective on USA’s Monk, is also a notable presence on stage, perfectly embodying the withdrawn band leader

who carries a world of pain on his shoulders. The supporting cast rounds out the story, with each member showcasing incredible vocal talents and a relatable and immersive storyline of their own. In a mere 95 minutes, The Band’s Visit transports audiences from The Ethel Barrymore Theatre to the Israeli desert, telling a succinct and beautifully crafted story filled with meaning and relatability. This is one show that audiences won’t want to miss. For more on The Band’s Visit, go to www. thebandsvisitmusical.com.
