Summer Pactice # (845) 434-1743
I don’t think there’s a reasonable person among who wouldn’t label this past (but still very fresh in our minds), winter horrendous. By every standard it was a difficult season and even today, a week into May, I had to go back home and change into a turtleneck, sweater and boots when I left for work this morning as the cold air blowing and the relentless rain falling sent a chill down my spine. For the first fifteen minutes of my trip into Brooklyn I had the seat warmer on. Insane! 1010 WINS just informed me that it will probably drop back into the forties tonight. Needless to say, we are not out of the woods yet. As I travel on the Belt Parkway west I notice that although there are some trees sporting greenery on their branches a good portion of the trees are still bare. If I took a snapshot of myself

in my layered garb standing on the side of the road you would easily label the photo as a scene from the last days of fall, or early winter. No one would guess it would have been taken late spring. Even the squirrels and raccoons are confused. This time of the year you rarely find them looking for shelter but the unseasonable temperatures has got us all mixed up and they are as worried about keeping warm as I am. Fortunately for them - unfortunately for moi the ones on my block found the perfect pad. My attic. My elderly home is vulnerable. The massive amount of rain and snow heaped upon its frame this winter simply softened the wood and made my eaves an ideal spot to enter and settle in - with children no less. Although we

PRIME BURGER By: Rachel Rosenberg
S
ummer has arrived and with it baseball and barbeques. So when I saw advertising for the new kosher “sports bar” on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, I was excited to try Prime Burger. I anticipated dark wood, booths, a bar, sports memorabilia and large screens playing the Yankees or Mets game. I was wrong. Prime Burger did showcase the expected sports bar food with a casual menu of burgers, hot dogs, corn dogs and buffalo wings. However, the ambiance lacked a sports themed casual vibe. The Prime Hospitality Group, owners of Prime Grill, Prime Bentley, Prime KO and Pizza da Solo opened Prime Burger in early April 2014 by converting the downstairs of formerly bilevel Prime KO into a separate restaurant. Convert is probably the wrong word as the only change appears to have been the menu and a few television screens mounted on the walls. In fact, on the night I tried Prime Burger, more Prime KO tables were needed so the downstairs was divided into Prime KO and Prime Burger. Dark curtains were hanging on the stairs and along the restaurant dividing up the space. While perhaps efficient, I would have liked to have seen more of a transformation of the restaurant into an authentic sports bar. I will say that the food and bar menu were the fun “sports bar” selection I expected. There were a variety of frozen cocktails, beers and liqueurs, but I didn't see anyone sitting at the bar drinking beer, eating a hot dog and watching that evening's game. 42
Instead long tables were filled with young singles enjoying a less expensive Upper West Side alternative. Appetizers average at $9-$10, burgers $15, and hot dogs $12. We started with classic corn dogs, buffalo wings, sausages and less classic quinoa cakes and kale salad. The corn dogs were bite-size sausages coated in fried cornmeal batter. The coating wasn't very crispy or tasty and after my first taste, I removed the shell and ate the sausage on its own. The buffalo wings were great with just the right amount of spicy to set my mouth on fire. The lamb sausages surprisingly came on a bone and were very dry. They were served with a nice mustard aioli sauce which came in handy for dipping my sausage from the corn dogs. The quinoa cakes were tasty fried beef and quinoa patties served with a spicy mayo. For those who love kale, the salad was enjoyable but it wasn't very interesting and the dressing tasted like it came from a bottle. For our mains, my table of 5 ordered a variety of hot dogs and burgers. They don't come with sides and toppings like sauerkraut or coleslaw and sauces such as bbq or jalapeño mayo cost extra. The most exciting burger was the Bulldog burger topped high with a fried egg and “bacon.” The burger was tasty and the toppings unique, but all agreed we've had better elsewhere. The jalapeño hot dog, like all the hot dogs on the menu, was large and served in a homemade bun, with slices of avocado and jalapeño. It was flavorful and filling. We ordered a few sides, including sweet potato fries, green beans and dried pepperoni. The thinly sliced pepperoni started off wonderful but was a bit too greasy and flavored with either anise or fennel, which I did not enjoy. While we were inclined to try more of the drinks and dessert, the service was so bad that we could not get our waiter to take those orders. The waiter seemed bothered to take our initial orders, which admittedly may have taken longer than others as we had a lot

Chronicles Of A Therapist: Helping your Child Transition to Preschool/First Grade By Tova Bollag, LCSW Although no one likes to think about the upcoming school year before the summer even begins, if one wants to give his or her child a heads-up in the coming year, especially for children entering into a transitional year, now is the time to begin planning. During this time of year I am frequently asked by parents, “How can I best help my child transition into preschool/first grade?” Entering a new school environment is a big step for every child. Parents can help children adjust by anticipating their needs and preparing them for this milestone. I usually recommend that transition efforts start several weeks before the commencement of the school year. The goals of transition activities are to familiarize the child with the teacher, classroom, and school; provide parents with the opportunity to become acquainted with new teachers and school policies; and to allow the teachers the chance to get to know the child and plan more effectively before he or she becomes a member of their class. Below you will find some suggestions for successful transition planning for children entering preschool/first grade. • If the teacher is amenable, set up an initial meeting with him or her either at the school or, if your child is anxious, in your home. A home visit will give your child a chance to meet the new teacher in his own environment which can help alleviate anxiety once school begins. • Share any concerns or special 58
considerations regarding your child such as certain fears, mental health issues or physical handicaps with the school in advance. • Talk with your child about preschool/first grade and what an exciting experience it will be for them, while at the same time giving them the opportunity to voice any questions or concerns that may be on their minds. • Help your child prepare mentally for the upcoming school year by spending time doing activities that require patience and concentration, such as reading a book, playing a board game or completing a puzzle. If your child is entering first grade, you may want to consider pre-teaching them some of the material they may be reviewing over the first few weeks of school. This may encourage them to actively participate in class and boost their self esteem. • Arrange play dates for your child with some of their new classmates. Socializing with peers, particularly those that will be in their class, will help your child build up confidence in his or her ability to communicate with other children. • Don’t over-react if the first few days of school are a little bit rough for your child. Many young children initially experience separation anxiety or shyness. If your child cries at drop off, you should try to remain calm and positive. Don’t linger but rather reassure your child that he or she will be okay. • Stay in contact with your child’s teacher particularly throughout the adjustment period and as deemed necessary throughout the duration of the school year. You know your child better than anyone, so you are in the best position to provide the teacher with information to help your child receive maximum benefits from their school experience. • Advise your child’s teacher if something happens at home which could impact your child’s performance at school. Things which might affect your child would include the

Remember, school should be a positive and rewarding experience for your child. By employing some of the suggestions provided above you will be working to ensure that your child has a positive experience from the onset, and this will pave the way for a successful transition throughout their years as a student in school.

From Soup to Nuts: A Taste of Summer Even if you work full-time and year-round, the pace does change during the summer. Perhaps your children are away and you are free of kitchen duties for a while, or maybe it's the time when you manage to take a vacation or dine out more frequently. For many summers, both during my childhood and during the years when my children were young, we went to bungalow colonies and it is from there that I accumulated many wonderful memories and recipes. Although cooking upstate was always a casual fair where the goal was to finish quickly and get back to whatever you were doing before, some of the best recipes came out of my bungalow colony days. In 2002 some of the women in my colony put together a fabulous cookbook, called A Taste of Moonlight. It is from there that the following simple but delicious recipes are taken. TRULY AMAZING SPARE RIBS Carol Tepler A”H Spare ribs (veal or beef) Onions 14 oz. ketchup 2 teaspoons soy sauce 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1 ⁄2 cup brown sugar 1 ⁄2 cup water 2 cloves garlic, sliced Preheat oven to 400. Put sliced onions on bottom of pan. Place spare ribs on top. Mix together ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, water and garlic. Pour on ribs. Bake 2 hours covered. Uncover and baste. Bake additional 45 minutes uncovered. BREAST OF VEAL ROAST Chana Kreisler Breast of veal without bone Whole cranberry sauce Onion soup mix
78
Onion Slice onion in rounds. Layer bottom of tin with onions and put veal over onions. Mix cranberry sauce and onion soup mix and pour over veal. Bake covered at 400 for 1⁄2 hour per pound. Veal will shrink. To serve, cool and cut, then heat and serve hot. LINDA ISAACS' BROCCOLI KLUSKI Reshi Isaacs 12 oz. bag kluski noodles 11⁄2 envelopes onion soup mix 3 ⁄4 stick margarine 11⁄2 cans French's fried onion rings 1 container Coffee Rich 2 boxes frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained. Boil noodles and drain. Put into big aluminum pan or casserole dish. Add remaining ingredients and bake covered at 350 for 50 minutes. Uncover and bake additional 7-10 minutes. GREAT SALAD Lisa Ehrlich 1 bag of Romame lettuce or other greens Mushrooms, sliced Small onion Croutons (add when ready to serve) Bac-O's Cherry tomatoes Dressing: 1 cup oil 1 ⁄3 cup ketchup 1 tsp salt 2 tblsp minced onion 1 ⁄2 cup sugar 1 ⁄4 cup wine vinegar This makes extra dressing - don't pour too much on. Dress right before serving.

GRIN AND BARE IT If you could repeat one summer from your past, which would it be and why? The summer before my wedding. It was filled with anticipation. B.D. One summer I worked at a hotel and somehow found myself very popular! There were some interesting young men around and I made the mistake of being interested in the wrong guy. I often wonder what happened to that very sweet and good looking young man who was never aggressive enough to catch my attention the way the wrong guy managed to! T.M. The first summer I spent in Israel... total freedom. D.H. That’a tough one! I love summer so they all seemed so good, especially after this harsh winter and spring. The beach, swimming at a pool, bike riding, walking on the boardwalk......ready for summer! C.J. 1989........was a lifeguard at Woodlake Village and had an amazing summer with friends!!! S.W. Summer of 1984, I was single, not working, I spent the summer traveling through Israel with a friend and finished with two weeks in England. I had no responsibilities, no worries that I can remember now. S.U. Morasha 1985...ahhhhhh, first year as staff. D.K. Summer of ‘65. Returned to Long Island after living in Maryland for 5 years. I overdid the beach thing, and I had a severe burn, especially on my lips! I would become more prudent!! B.C. It would have to be one of the two summers I spent on my own in Israel. After a half year studying in Israel, a group of us remained for the summer in an apartment in Jerusalem. The other
100
summer was one I spent volunteering on a kibbutz followed by several weeks touring Europe. What great unforgettable experiences! E.D. It would not be a summer from my childhood. Actually, one of the best vacations I ever had was when I went to Orlando with my family. It must have been around ten years ago. Since our summer is in January, there were mostly Jews taking vacation in Disney World!! We rented a gorgeous three bedroom condo, with an enormous kitchen! My daughter was in college in New York (we live out of the U.S.), and flew in to be with us. The weather was beautiful at Disney World! At the end of the day when they closed, there was an enormous minyan davening mincha! I’ll never forget how nice it was! S.W. It would have be the summer I spent touring Israel with my family when the kids were young, along with my sister and her family. The pictures we still pull out every now and then remind me what a special time that was. B.H. About 14 years ago my siblings and I went to Poland with my father for our very first time. Seeing him point out his home and places he loved growing up, was so touching and emotional. What a zchus for us to see our real roots. I would go back with him in a heartbeat. B.G. Wow, what a fun idea! The summer my granddaughter was born. She and her parents came home to my house and it was an incredible 5 weeks! Complete nachas. L.M.W. The summer I got married and spent three weeks in Israel on my honeymoon. T.B. So many great experiences but I would have to say the summer I spent with my younger sister and our families in Israel was the best of all. We had wonderful adventures filled with much laughter and to this day there are key words that one of us will utter that will trigger volumes of cherished memories. R.D.

Computers One on One Coding is Fun! by Shuly Rubel
Summer is coming and our kids will be off from school soon. They will have plenty of free time and we know much of it will spent playing on their computers. We should be prepared. While we will encourage them to play outdoors and exercise their bodies, inevitably they will turn to their computers at some point. Therefore we need to find fun, educational websites for them to access. My grandson loves playing games on his computer so I showed him how he can have enjoy and learn at the same time. The new Technology Buzz about coding is a fun way for children to learn how to program. We live in a world surrounded by technology but only a tiny fraction of us learn how the computer works or how to create software technology. Computer science provides a foundation for virtually any career. The basics can be learned by anybody, starting in elementary school. Here are 10 resources you can use to teach children about coding and programming: 1. Kidsruby http://www.kidsruby.com Makes it easy to learn to code. 2. Alice www.alice.org An introduction to create simple animated movie and video games through simple programming. 3. Scratch www.scratch.org A cool way to start programming movies and interactive stories. Perfect for children 8 and up. 4. Kodu www.Kodu.org A visual programming language for PC. 5. Move the Turtle http://www.geekkids.me App for kids 5 and over. 6. Hopscotch www.hopscotch.org a great app.
112
7. Daisy the Dinosaur https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/daisy-thedinosaur/id490514278 An easy visual app for all ages that teaches the principle of programming. 8. Robot Turtles http://www.thinkfun.com/robotturtles/ My grandkids love this board game (3-8). A simple game that sneaks in coding basics. 9. Cargo - Bot A puzzle game created entirely on IPad. http://twolivesleft.com/CargoBot/?utm_campai gn=Listly&utm_medium=list&utm_source=listly 10. Primo https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/10396744 61/primo-teaching-programming-logic-tochildren-age-4 - Another kick starter must for ages 4-7 – teaches children programming logic. Hope you enjoy sharing these websites with your children because programming literacy will be the key to your child’s future. Logging Off! Shuly Rubel

Continued from page 42 of questions. Our food arrived quickly enough but we barely saw our waiter. We asked for dessert menus, which were delivered by the waiter, who then ran off never to return. Finally, after 30 minutes we asked for the bill, paid and left, hungry for dessert. As always when I dine with my bonvivant friends and family, it was fun and fabulous but no credit to the venue. It was disappointing as I usually love the Prime restaurants, even the short lived Chinese themed Solo. Prime Burger will likely survive the summer as everyone enjoys a burger and hot dog with an ice cold beer and there isn't much competition in the kosher sports bar arena. My rating: 2 1⁄2 stars ★★★ Rachel Rosenberg, a practicing attorney, is known amongst friends and family as an accomplished chef and daring foodie with a critical eye and discerning palate. She lives in Woodmere with her husband and three sons.

Continued from page 12 have been trying to evict them the law seems to be on their side and they are putting up a tough battle and taking their sweet time. I know my house’s shortcomings but the water table was never one of them. We always stayed dry while others dealt with damp basements and wet vacs. Until this week that is, when five inches of horizontal rain pelted our humble abode and finally found a way in. An odd protrusion appeared on my long hallway wall. It looked like a white balloon was clinging to the surface, like when we used to rub balloons on our hair to create static and then stick them to the walls. Upon closer inspection I realized that this balloon was water-filled. I touched a knife to it and held a large mug underneath and watched as water poured into the vessel. Good thing I hadn’t chosen a dainty teacup. As you might gather I am fed up with this winter. The snow. The rain. The raccoons and leaks and the cracks in my fingers which are usually long gone by now. I want to ride my bike - or at least fill the tires with air; walk on the boardwalk (or sit on one of its many benches). I want to shed the layers and recline on my favorite lounge chair on my side porch (if it’s still in one piece), with the sun warming me from head to toe. I am ready for spring to finally make an appearance and for summer to arrive soon after. And yes, I am well aware that if it’s a particularly brutal summer within a few months we will all be complaining and, with faded, short winter memories, wish for the cooler temperatures to return. But for now I am more than ready. Bring the warm weather on!
