John Fogerty’s Revival Hall of Famer on new album, Vegas residency and memoir

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

A

t a time when most septuagenarians are easing into retirement, John Fogerty is taking the opposite tact.

The 72-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s creative dance card is filling up fast for 2018. He recently wrapped up a residency gig at the Wynn Las Vegas that he’ll return to in October.

While that string of dates is titled “Fortunate Son” and includes stories from the ‘60s and the rest of Fogerty’s life, it’s different from the upcoming summer jaunt he’s ready to go on with ZZ Top that’s dubbed “Riffs, Blues and Bayous on the Bucket List.”

But throughout, the flannel-clad singer-songwriter remains that same kid who first got sucked into rock and roll after hearing guitarist Scotty Moore on a jukebox riffing on Elvis Presley’s cover of “My Baby Left Me.” That indefatigable and infectious spirit comes across, whether he’s proudly talking about jamming alongside son Shane in Fogerty’s touring band or the idea of playing the same stage as Billy Gibbons in a few weeks.

“My son Shane is an incredible guitar player. He’s a regular part of my band, so we have great fun trading solos. At one point in the show, we do a kind of duel and challenge each other. It’s kind of a shootout on Main Street,” he said with a laugh. “Billy is absolutely one of my favorite guitar players. This tour is going to be a bigger theoretical challenge (than) Vegas because I know Billy Gibbons is going to be in the house, so I know that I’ll want to be presenting one or two of my best licks. I normally never say that, but when you know there is some guy out there who can really play and is part of the show and will be on that stage either right ahead of you or right behind you, [you] want to be more mindful of what you’re playing.”

The past few years have proven to be busy ones for the Berkeley, CA native, who has been a constant touring presence and even found time to publish his 2015 New York Times best-selling memoir, Fortunate Son: My Life, My Music. While it chronicles his time as a struggling musician and the eventual success he experienced in Creedence Clearwater Revival, it also reflects the decades-long legal battles he had with his old label Fantasy Records and label boss Saul Zaentz and the rift with his

late brother Tom. Despite the pain involved with going back to a point in his life when he even refused to perform any CCR songs in concert as a means of denying royalties to Fantasy, Fogerty was grateful that he not only got to set the record straight, but share how his wife Julie’s love offered redemption.

“Now I’m very thankful to have been able to speak about my life at some length and to be able to express how I feel. I’m humbly thankful that there was this human being that loved me and was able to get me out of the morass and quicksand that I was in.

I just couldn’t figure it out. I’m sure this happens to people a lot in life—I didn’t know what to do. I wanted to

be out, but I just wasn’t very good at getting myself unstuck,” he explained.

“She had an awful lot of patience with a guy that was certainly a real piece of work. You read all about it in the book, but I was certainly alcoholic and miserable at times and not a real great protector of my life. She just came in and delightfully helped me appreciate the good things in life. That was my favorite part of the book—that I was able to express that to people and make them understand what that happiness meant to me.”

Fogerty’s comeback may have started with 1985’s Centerfield, but his solo career hasn’t lost steam as he signed a new recording contract with BMG last

year. Not only are five of his solo efforts being reissued (Centerfield, Blue Moon Swamp, Eye of the Zombie, Deja Vu [All Over Again], Premonition), but he’s working on an album of new material he hopes to have out by year’s end. His time with CCR found Fogerty penning nine Top 10 hit singles and racking up an incredible eight gold albums between 1968 and 1972.

Despite how effortless it might have seemed, he shared that it was more a sheer force of will.

“For me, writing songs was life and death. It’s a phrase I used a lot throughout my life to explain how I felt as a fan and also as an artist,” he said. “I realized that we didn’t have all the other things successful bands had, meaning a manager, a big label and a big bankroll behind us. When you are lying in bed alone with your thoughts, it’s a time when you can be really honest with yourself. That was kind of my challenge—we had to be the very best—whatever that is.

I think it was that obsessiveness that I absolutely couldn’t rest because if I stopped flapping my wings, I was going to fall to the earth and crash and burn.”

It’s a mentality Fogerty carries with him to this day, even as he grapples with what he’s writing for this upcoming project.

“When you’re not writing for a while, you remember that you’re a musician and you play guitar while you’re on vacation with your family somewhere and you’re not really working. Then you start working on writing these songs and there is a lot of anxiety about finding good stuff,” he explained. “It’s just daunting until, if you’re lucky, you come up with something that’s good. You don’t get there without going through that realization that what you’re doing right now is not very good and then forcing yourself to keep working. I go through the same stuff every single time. It just blows my mind that it has to work like that, at least for me.”

John Fogerty will be appearing with ZZ Top as part of the “Riffs, Blues and Bayous on the Bucket List” tour on June 20 at Northwell @ Jones Beach Theater, 1000 Ocean Pkwy., Wantagh.

DINING

Concert Haul

What to eat near the area’s best venues

BY STEVE MOSCO

SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

W

Summer hile the concessions at local theaters and concert venues have vastly Music improved culinary offerings over the years, sometimes the best option is to make a night of it and eat out before the show begins.

Most of the concert halls on Long Island and in the surrounding areas are located within waking distance to a varied mix of grub—everything from pizza to burgers to full-blown gourmet meals are available for a preshow ritual of eating, drinking and being merry. With that in mind, here are some of the best dining options that serve as the perfect opening act.

Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater The outdoor amphitheater famous for its inspiring vistas, exposure to the elements and numerous name changes stands as a true Long Island experience—a concert venue that feels intimate from the floor seats and miles away from the stage in the cheap seats. Dining out and making it to the theater in time for the show can be problematic, as the venue basically sits teetering on an island off of an island. The best bet is to stock up on sandwiches and drinks at a deli, then find a parking spot to privatively gorge among your fellow concert-goers. Massapequa’s Seaqua Deli (4250 Jerusalem Ave.) is the classic delicatessen, with signature sandwiches like Chicken Cutlet Melt, Colby Beef Slam and Italian Bomb providing the perfect nourishment for a night at a windswept Jones Beach concert. There’s also a grill preparing hot foods and plenty of salad options for the more delicate eaters.

Burgers and brews from Black Label Burgers

NYCB Theatre at Westbury Forest Hills Stadium The Queens venue, which shuttered after its 1960s-70s heyday, is in the middle of a grand renaissance with big-name acts descending on the affluent neighborhood in Forest Hills Gardens every summer. As it sits just off Austin Street and Queens Boulevard, there are plenty of diverse dining options within walking distance. For a gastropub/beer hall/whiskey den, the must visit option is Station House (106-11 71st Ave.). The menu busts with the likes of wings, ribs, burgers, sandwiches, poutine, mac ‘n cheese and more, while drink menu overflows with craft beer, whiskey and specialty cocktails, all providing the perfect lubrication for a night of open air music. If the night’s mood trends more toward pizza, visit cozy Forest Hills mainstay Nick’s Pizza (108-26 Ascan Ave.) for expertly executed thin-crust pies with all the right toppings.

Back when it was known as Westbury Music Fair, NYCB Theatre presented music in the round in a comfy setting. Good news, that is exactly what the theater still offers. In the spirit of keeping things simple, dining before a show at the theater should be similarly uncomplicated, but with a gourmet twist. Enter Black Label Burgers (683 Old Country Rd.). Unabashedly obsessed with high-quality meat, Black Label’s signature burgers run the gamut from straightforward to downright refined to vegetarian to antibiotic-free chicken to all-natural turkey. Black Label also goes the extra mile of suggesting beer-pairings for all of its burgers. The best pre-concert meal is probably the Red Label (a burger with applewood-smoked bacon, jalapeños, pepperjack cheese and spicy mayo on a potato bun), paired with an Ithaca Flower Power IPA—it sets the mood for a night of toe-tapping at the theater.

How To Plan Your Summer Vacation Without Wrecking Your Finances

BY ALEXANDER JOYCE

good-value family activities and what is wasting money.

Many are looking forward eagerly to that annual summer vacation. For some, it’s worth waiting for, but for others, it’s not worth overspending. And the fact is many Americans do.

An Experian survey found that 68 percent of people overspend on summer vacation, and 35 percent don’t save for it.

You want to enjoy a vacation and know you’re not paying for it for years to come. Going for the beach vacation or somewhere special is always something wonderful, as is spending time with the family, making memories. But at the same time, if the budget isn’t friendly, maybe you should go somewhere closer and for a shorter time. The bottom line is you should customize your own vacation with regard to both your current financial status and with an eye on not hurting your future.

Keep your credit card home

EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

The Experian survey showed families charge an average of about $1,250 on their credit cards for summer vacations.

Try not to use your credit card the entire trip, and if you do, pay it off with no interest. Going into debt for a vacation should never be part of your plan.

Skip the travel agent

Many people turn to travel agents, at an extra expense, to plan a trip.

Plotting your every move may be difficult, but the more research you do ahead of time, the better prepared you are to experience the kind of vacation you can both enjoy and afford. You know your budget better than a travel agent and it’s fun as a family to explore what you want to do, so trust yourselves in what you’re doing.

Don’t touch retirement funds vacations. As much as we like to say

vacationing is a hot priority, so is saving long-term, and you shouldn’t lose focus on the goal.

Many people do not vacation within their means, as the Experian survey shows. Planning and sticking with a budget is a must to avoid financial issues down the road. You should be disciplined enough to build that budget and stay true to it. It’s difficult to do, and you’re going to overspend at times, but make sure you put that money back, re-allocate it.

Avoid spending traps

They happen all over on a vacation, often spontaneously—eating out, massages, golf, other entertainment.

Decide on trade-offs. Consider eating at more affordable restaurants. Have a good idea in advance what are some

181488 D

Certainly stay away from those retirement savings accounts—401Ks, IRAs—as a way to pay for expensive

Budget honestly

A lot of people come back from vacation and are already filled with regret, wondering “Why did we spend so much money?” Trimming down one vacation smartly could mean you can afford the bigger one the next summer. Now that’s worth it.

Nassau Museum Reveals Major New Outdoor Sculpture Internationally renowned artist Marko Remec featured in new installation

T

he Nassau Museum has just unveiled three monumental site-specific works by the internationally known sculptor Marko Remec. Showcased in locations chosen by the artist on the 145-acre Museum property, the dazzling, mirrored works represent a major commission, part of a plan to revitalize the Museum’s sculpture park, which has in the past been considered among the finest in the region.

The three sculptures are outstanding examples of the main approaches that Remec takes to site-specific work. Standing 26-feet tall before the stately Museum façade, the beacon-like “Would That I Wish For (Tall Totem)” explores issues of safety and narcissism, while also drawing on the tradition of incorporating the faces of ancestors in a monumental totem (except that the faces are those of the viewer as reflected in the mirrors).

Not far from the Tall Totem, a sprawling horizontal frieze created from 16 huge convex dome mirrors, “NYET,” assumes the pattern of a stylized eye. The title is a sly allusion to the government surveillance and persecution of Dimitri Shostakovich and other artists, whose work was performed at the Baker Mansion in Manhattan when the first iteration of this powerful work was presented. At the Museum, it occupies a quiet corner of the great lawn, glaring at a dozen or so of the Museum’s collection.

As Remec asks, “Who is saying nyet to whom?”

The third work, “Vertebrate Progression (Field Totem),” is an alluring pathway of more than a hundred-twenty-five 33-inch convex dome mirrors that rise and fall with the dramatic contours

of the land along the stately drive that leads to the Museum mansion.

The title is an allusion to paleontology, the passion of Childs Frick, who lived in the mansion and kept his laboratory and library of specimens in a nearby outbuilding, now the Manes Family Art and Education Center. Like the glittering ribbon of

light of a gigantic diamond tennis bracelet, the procession of mirrors along the grass has a mesmerizing rhythmic effect.

Marko Remec is a conceptual sculptor living and working in New York City whose work has been showcased at such prestigious museums and collections as MASS MoCA, LongHouse Reserve, Chesterwood, Kunsthaus Zug, Museo de Arte de Ponce, Salem Art Works and the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art. He collaborated with Ilya and Emilia Kabakov on the Ship of Tolerance Project in Zug and Rome, and has attracted the notice of notable collectors and critics with his wry wit and brilliant compositional strategies. A graduate of Williams College and Stanford University, and a former investment banker, Remec is a rising star in the Contemporary sculpture world.

“We are thrilled to kick off our major new program of commissioned outdoor sculpture with an artist of Marko Remec’s stature and brilliance,” said Angela Susan Anton, president of the museum’s board of trustees.

The new commission was the

brainchild of the Museum’s quite active exhibition committee and wholly supported financially by a generous donor who requests anonymity as well as a generous gift from Charlotte Feng Ford.

Nassau County Museum of Art is located at One Museum Drive in Roslyn Harbor. For current exhibitions, events, days/times and directions, call 516-484-9337 or visit www.nassaumuseum.org.

It was a night for the Jazz Ages.

Close to 300 guests recently gathered at The Carltun in Eisenhower Park to support The Safe Center’s annual food, beverage and dessert tasting fundraiser, Taste That Jazz. This year’s event highlighted more than 40 vendors specializing in various types of cuisine, beverages and desserts. It was a sensational evening of culinary excellence and musical charm, which raised close to $50,000 due to the generous support of all involved.

Proceeds from this event will support direct services and programs provided to adult and child victims of abuse. Those in need of help can access a 24-hour domestic abuse and sexual assault hotline 516-542-0404, legal assistance and advocacy, crisis intervention, emergency safe shelter, referrals, transitional and permanent housing, individual and group counseling, and hospital advocacy.

The Safe Center extends its heartfelt appreciation to the many generous sponsors, vendors and gracious inkind raffle donors, numerous guests, and committed volunteers. They also applaud The Morrie Louden Group, Greg Sweney, Herrick’s High School Jazz Quintet, and Marty of Event Pros for donating their time and talent to entertain guests this year. The continued faith and support of the organization’s work enables The Safe Center to restore hope and make a difference in the lives of the children and adults being served.

WORD FIND

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re on your way to wholeness. Give a hard, clear look to the thing that hurts you. This is the first step to healing: an assessment of the issue that neither dramatizes nor fantasizes. Once you clearly see what is, ideas will start coming to mind about what to do about it. The breakthrough is imminent.

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND A Trip to Tassie WORD FIND

This is a theme puzzle withSolution: the subject stated26 below.

Find the listed words in the grid. (They may Letters run in any direction but always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 26 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

A Trip to Tassie

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s pretty simple this week as you’re governed by nature’s sovereign masters, pain and pleasure. The way that brings the greatest happiness will be right. Take the long view. Many things that bring short-term pleasure are harmful in the long range. Seek that which will enrich you and yours over time.

Solution: 26 Letters

© 2018 Australian Word Games Dist. by Creators Syndicate Inc.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There have been instances in which you have been greatly served -- maybe even saved -- by the objective advances of science and technology. And yet, these schools will not help you improve your quality of life this week. The lessons will come from the schools of love, spirituality, philosophy and art.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). People who either don’t have as much to do or don’t have as vigilant and thorough a thought process as yours will be generous with advice along the lines of “Don’t worry; be happy.” Almost infuriating, isn’t it? And yet, the simple things you do to help yourself be a bit lighter will make an enormous difference this week.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). To stay buoyant on the tides of life you need to be somewhat waterproof. This week, you’ve a good sense about the things that keep your ship slick and strong. Avoid agents that might wear down and eat away at the fiber of your ship. What sinks a ship is not the water that’s outside; it’s the water that gets in.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It is said that yesterday and tomorrow are the two days in which nothing can be done. But just because they happen at a non-actionable time doesn’t make them unimportant. Living is building. All of life exists in context. The setup matters. Yesterday informs us. Memory drives us. Our hope for the future pulls us into it. Your fluid approach to time will be the crowning achievement of your week.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Get congruent with what you think, feel and imagine. When you think, feel and imagine three different things, life will feel cumbersome. Forward movement will take tremendous effort, like trying to roll on triangular wheels. When you think, feel and imagine the same thing, you’ll have ease, momentum and power.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You may not feel, at the end of the week, that you have won your battles. But if you know you have fought in all of them, you will have the satisfaction and confidence that comes with self-respect.

Showing up is half of it. The other half is doing your best, which will be enough.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Dogs appear to readily accept, even celebrate, the strengths and limitations of their canine existence. It’s true of all the animals, and you’ll find solace and spiritual richness in observing the animal kingdom embodying natural instincts -- a reminder that you don’t have to be anything more than you are.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll lay the foundation for a new chapter in your personal life. This has to do with establishing different rhythms, patterns and habits. The hardest part is the beginning, when it takes willpower to make a change. But over the course of the next few weeks you’ll start to feel that this takes no effort at all; it’s just the new you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Don’t let yourself go soft. Get in touch with your skills. Test and challenge yourself, if only to remember what you have.

You’re like a bird who landed on a broken branch. There’s no reason to fear the branch failing underneath you, because you have wings. You’ll succeed when you remember to use what you have.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The most important choices you’ll make this week will have to do with your own individuality. It would be so easy to become the person your family, friends or boss wants you to be. But this is not the real you, and it will make you tired and unsatisfied. The soul-searching you do to find your true path will be worth it.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You’re part of a team, but it’s not the only way you interact in the world.

You like spending time with different sets of friends. You have diverse interests that seem like they wouldn’t go together, and they don’t have to. This year is about accepting the many facets of yourself and finding support for all sides of you. Actually, you won’t really have to find the support: It will emerge when you’ve reached new levels of self-acceptance. You’ll only need to let yourself be lifted by what comes.

Nancy Burpee has overcome impossible challenges all her life. The latest was lung cancer.

Nancy Burpee has been swimming competitively all her life. Not only against other elite swimmers, but also against a rare connective tissue disease. Then she faced her greatest challenge: lung cancer.

Nancy was told she faced a choice: either major invasive surgery or wait and see if the tumor would shrink. Instead, she turned to NYU Winthrop Hospital and Dr. Laurence Spier, one of the country’s top robotic lung surgeons. Dr. Spier not only removed the tumor without removing the entire lung, he was able to “tease” her lung free from the chest wall. Nancy was amazed at the improvement in her breathing and stamina. In just three weeks, she was back in the pool, swimming faster than she had in years.

Thanks to NYU Winthrop, Nancy is still competing. And in all the ways that count, she remains undefeated. To learn more, call 1-866-WINTHROP, or visit nyuwinthrop.org.

At the Forefront of Lung Cancer Care: NYU Winthrop Leads the Way in the Area of Robotic Surgery

With a host of lung conditions affecting so many Long Islanders, it is vital they have a place they can turn to that is equipped not only with the latest technology, but the expertise to be treated successfully.

NYU Winthrop Hospital was pleased to recently welcome Laurence Spier, MD, Chief of the Division of Thoracic Surgery, to its already stellar multidisciplinary cardiothoracic surgical team, which has long been committed to providing patients with the very best care. Dr. Spier is renowned for his skill in performing a wide range of procedures related to the chest including those aimed at eradicating lung cancer – the leading cause of cancer deaths in both men and women in the United States. Dr. Spier has a powerful tool to help combat the statistics. He utilizes the da Vinci Xi robot to perform minimally invasive surgery, a method that increases cancer survivability at the four-year mark by an impressive 15 percent. Why does the robotic procedure make such a difference?

“Robotic surgery allows for a minimally invasive platform, utilizing small incisions yet allowing for meticulous precision to the operation. This precision cannot be duplicated with any other approach available,” explains Dr. Spier, “The result is faster recovery, less scarring and better outcomes for patients.”

When performing robotic lung surgery, Dr. Spier sits behind a console that provides him with a 3-D high-definition view of the inside of the chest cavity, which gives him a perfect view of the lung that he’s operating on. This visualization magnifies the surgical field 10 times, providing a superior view of the surgical field and enabling Dr. Spier to direct the robotic arms with extreme precision and seamlessly perform surgery. Dr. Spier describes how one can look at the back of a five-dollar bill and see all of the state names engraved at the top of the Lincoln Memorial. (Go ahead and try to find them with the naked eye. That’s what non-robotic surgery would be like!). With the robot visualization, the names of the states

gery, which is sometimes indicated for patients with severe emphysema. In that complex procedure, non-functioning areas of the lung are removed, and the lung is reshaped into a smaller organ with a more functional diaphragm.

NYU Winthrop has long been a leader in the field of robotic surgery. Among the specialty procedures offered are: • Abdominal wall reconstructions including retrorectus repair • Distal pancreatectomy • Esophagectomy • Gastrectomy for cancer • Hysterectomy • Paraesophageal hiatal hernia repairs • Prostatectomy • Colon resection • Gastric bypass surgery • General abdominal surgery • Gynecologic oncology surgery • Heller myotomy • Repair of inguinal hernias and ventral hernias • Sacrocolpopexy to repair vaginal and uterine prolapse • Sleeve gastrectomy • Splenectomy For more information about robotic surgery at NYU Winthrop, call 1-866-WINTHROP.

would appear much larger than the print on this page.

“In the United States, only about 20 to 30 percent of lobectomies are performed with a minimally invasive platform.

Here at NYU Winthrop, almost 100 percent of the procedures are minimally invasive,” added Dr. Spier. This cuts a patient’s hospital stay to less than half of what is customary with other platforms – to just two to three days – and in most instances, there are no physical restrictions upon discharge.

Already, the Division of Thoracic Surgery at NYU Winthrop is recognized as a “Robotics Epicenter,” one of less than a dozen in the nation.

This distinction was awarded

by Intuitive Surgical, Inc., the world’s leading maker of surgical robotics, and the designation indicates that NYU Winthrop is a nationally recognized trainer of surgeons in the field of robotics. Physicians from all over the United States come to NYU Winthrop to observe and learn from Dr. Spier and see the thoracic team in action.

Looking ahead, says Dr. Spier, “The future of robotics lies in software advancements such as imagery guided by artificial intelligence. I expect shortly that with the help of artificial intelligence, we won’t just see inside the chest cavity – we’ll be able to see directly into the lung itself.

That will allow for easier resection of tumors and masses and thus cause even less damage to surrounding tissue.”

YOUR VISION

Looking Out For Your Health

BY CHRISTOPHER BIRSNER CBIRSNER@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

I

n the age of technology, we spend a lot of time in front of a screen, from our phone to our computer to our television.

While we may enjoy being in front of our devices, it may cause damage to our bodies, especially our eyes, when we are in front of them for long periods of time. If you are worried about your eye health, especially if you are in front of gadgets all of the time, here are a few ways you can go about improving it.

Blinking This may seem like an act that you do involuntarily, but when you are staring at a screen, your eyes are focused on what is happening in front of you and aren’t closing as often. Not blinking for long stretches of time causes your eyes to become dry and may result in blurriness.

Remind yourself to blink every once and a while, and consider looking away from the computer for larger amounts of time so that way your eyes don’t strain.

Take Breaks Speaking of looking away from the computer, consider getting up and doing something else for a while. There is a universal idea to this called the “20-20-20” rule. After every 20 minutes in front of a computer, get up and walk 20 feet away from the computer and stay there for 20 minutes before returning.

Obviously, you don’t need to be as thorough as that, but the occasional break will allow your eyes (and even your mind) to take a quick breather.

Get An Eye Exam It is very important to get a checkup done by your optometrist as often as you can.

They will let you know how your eyes are health-wise and what you will need to do to keep them from getting worse. If you wear glasses, it may be good to ask your doctor about getting a blue-light filter for your next pair, since blue light is what causes a lot of the harm to eyes when using technology.

Adjust Settings On Devices If you are really stubborn about moving away from your device, you could make your life a lot easier by changing the way that you look at it. Adjust the light levels so that it matches the lighting in the room, that way it isn’t too bright or too dark. Use darker backgrounds on your screen so it is easy on the eyes. Change the size of the text and font on your computer so its easier to read. Even turning away from your computer and cleaning your screen could go a long way to helping your eyesight out.

A Visionary In Eye Surgery

Laser vision correction turns 30 thanks to local doctor who pioneered procedure

BY CHRISTOPHER BIRSNER CBIRSNER@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

F

or 30 years, LASIK surgery (otherwise known as LaserAssisted in Situ Keratomileusis) has developed into a new and easier way for people who have poor vision to get it fixed. Since the surgery was first performed on March 25, 1988, more than 40 million procedures have been completed worldwide. That first surgery was conducted by Dr. Marguerite McDonald, a Long Island-based ophthalmologist.

McDonald, who grew up in Chicago, IL, was functionally blind when she was 5 years old. Luckily, after some treatment on her eyes, she was able to see 20/20 vision in both. Because of this, she realized what she wanted to do in life.

“I decided that I had to provide this service to other people,” said McDonald. “My dad was also a doctor.

He was an orthopedic surgeon. Every evening, he would tell us about his day.

His joy in his work was obvious and contagious.”

McDonald went on to study at Columbia Medical School in New York City, where she met Dr. Steve Trokel.

While a professor at the college, Trokel conducted research and published it in a journal where he discovered that an excimer laser, which was used to make computer chips, could also be used to break through the cornea of an animal corpse’s eye. The laser does not harm the eye, so it can be used to improve the vision in that eye.

“I was excited to read this article and contacted [Trokel],” said McDonald.

“I told him that I knew that he had to move on to animal research, and that he had no significant access to such opportunities at Columbia. I told him that I did, since I had moved to LSU in Louisiana; we had access to a large animal vivarium.”

The two doctors, along with Dr. Charles Munnerlyn, a California-based optical engineer, spent time performing thousands of treatments, starting with animal cadaver eyes, then moving on to human cadaver eyes. From there, they experimented on living rabbit and living monkey eyes. “We had perfected the laser and preoperative regimen to attempt living human treatments,” McDonald said.

The human that decided to take a risk in participating in the first surgery was Alberta Cassady, a 62-year-old

‘‘

We might still be treating monkeys at the delta primate center today if it weren’t for the bravery, courage, and selflessness of Ms. Cassady.

’’

– Dr. Marguerite McDonald woman dealing with orbital cancer.

At the time, her cancer was very aggressive as a tumor was completely wrapped around one of her eyes. “It required an exenteration, which means that her eye, her lids, and the contents of her eye socket would be removed,” McDonald said. “She would be left with an empty eye socket, lined with skin. This procedure was her only chance to survive.”

Cassady was taking a huge risk considering that the chances of it being live-saving were still low, but she felt it was a risk worth taking. However, she authorized research of her eye before it

was surgically removed. After the FDA allowed the laser procedure to take place, McDonald and her colleagues brought Cassady to their research center to perform the first-ever laser vision correction surgery, which McDonald conducted. After 11 days of examination, the findings of the laser-eye correction, plus research done on Cassady’s eye following her exenteration, changed the medical world as we know it.

“The clinical and pathological results were outstanding,” said McDonald. “These data allowed the FDA to let us leapfrog ahead and start

the blind eye clinical trial.”

McDonald went on to take other major steps in laser-eye surgery. In 1993, she was the first to use the treatment for farsightedness and, in 2003, she became the first North-American to perform Epi-LASIK, which was a safer method to reduce someone’s dependency on glasses and contacts. She has won many awards and accolades for her work, including the 2010 Best Poster award by the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the first ever Visionary Woman Award from the Ophthalmic Women Leaders.

“We knew [LASIK] was important, but we had no clue how it would be accepted and utilized all over the world,” McDonald said. “[The awards] are stunning and humbling. They spur me on to continue my research.”

Based in Lynbrook, Garden City, and Manhasset, McDonald continues to do exceptional work in the field. She is currently doing research on EBK (EpiBowman’s Keratectomy) and Opti-K, as well as dry-eye and blepharitis. She says if it weren’t for Ms. Cassady, the advances made in the industry would not be where it is today.

“We might still be treating monkeys at the delta primate center today if it weren’t for the bravery, courage, and selflessness of Ms. Cassady,” said McDonald.

Five Foods To Boost Eye Health

arrots may be the best known food for eye health, but other foods may be even more important when it comes to keeping your eyesight in tip-top shape. May is Healthy Vision Month, a time to raise awareness about eye health and preventing vision loss. The most important thing you can do is get a regular eye exam with your eye doctor, but diet itself can play a role in keeping your eyes in good shape. Your eyes require special nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants to keep them functioning properly.

Here are a few important foods to help boost eye health:

CHOOSING HEALTH Stefani Pappas

Green Tea

Sweet Potatoes

Dark Green Leafy Vegetables

Spinach, kale, and collard greens are packed with lutein and zeaxanthin; these are antioxidants that can help prevent cataracts and macular degeneration. Other foods high in lutein and zeaxanthin include avocados, broccoli, and peas. Instead of iceberg lettuce or romaine, try spinach or mixed dark leafy greens for your salad at lunch. Incorporate broccoli as a side for dinner, and enjoy a portion-controlled side of guacamole during the week.

when dining out for an omega-3 boost as well. If you don’t eat fish, other vegetarian foods that are high in omega-3s include blackcurrant seed oil, flaxseed oil, chia seeds, and walnuts.

This vegetable is a good source of beta carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. Other foods high in vitamin A include deep orange foods such as carrots and butternut squash. These foods can help prevent dry eyes and night blindness. Opt for a sweet potato with dinner, and add some shredded carrots to your lunch salad.

Salmon

Cold-water fishes such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, and tuna are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. This can help protect against cataracts, macular degeneration, and dry eyes. Try tuna salad for lunch, and salmon once or twice a week for dinner. Order fish

This antioxidant-rich tea is full of anti-inflammatory substances called catcehins.

The antioxidants in green tea can help lower risk of developing cataracts and macular degeneration. Add one cup of green tea with breakfast to start your day with an energy and antioxidant boost.

Whole Grains

These low-glycemic index grains can help reduce your risk of developing macular degeneration. Plus, whole grains contain Vitamin E, zinc, and niacin, which help to promote overall eye health. Try to swap out white rice for brown rice or quinoa at dinner.

Incorporate steel cut oats in the morning for breakfast, and switch to whole wheat breads and wraps. When

choosing a breakfast cereal, make sure that “whole grain” is the first ingredient listed.

Although nutrition can play a role, there are a few other things you can do to protect your eyes. Staring at your computer or phone screen for too long can put strain on your eyes. Try to rest your eyes every 20 minutes by looking away from the computer and taking a quick walk around the office.

Additionally, too much UV exposure can increase your changes of cataracts and macular degeneration. Make sure to wear a good pair of sunglasses to help protect your eyes from the sun’s UV rays. Be sure to visit your eye doctor regularly to keep your eye health in check.

SPECIALSECTIONS@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Suffer an injury—a twisted knee, a turned ankle—and you know what’s likely to come next: swelling and reddening of the damaged area.

Inflammation is one of the body’s most common reactions to the stress of an injury, and while modern science has created many important drugs to help the body heal, some health professionals say holistic medicines should also be part of the prescription.

Here’s why: An emphasis on alternatives to prescription drugs could reduce other issues.

The most frequently prescribed medications worldwide are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, known as NSAIDs, and they have been linked to a higher increase in cardiovascular problems, heart attacks and strokes.

In the United States alone, more than 70 million prescriptions are written for these drugs every year.

Prescription medications have their place, but discovering and using natural alternatives prevents potential

• Plants, herbs and teas: Current research has proven the efficacy of ancient plant medicines, which are now in better formulations and more purified for a better therapeutic effect.

Patients should remember that the entire body is impacted by an injury even though the injury itself may be localized. By treating the entire body holistically, it will assist the body in recovering faster. narcotics abuse and lessens side effects. Dr. Mother Nature is the best prescriber for healing and optimum wellness.

While a typical physician’s recommendations will include things to not eat or drink that will be helpful in making sure there is no specific reaction, making sure the entire body is in optimum health to fight an infection will typically shorten the recovery period.

THE DUX® BED: DESIGNED WITH YOUR SPINE IN MIND One of the only ways to achieve a deep and restful night of sleep is through “Correct Sleep Posture” which dictates that your spine rests in a natural, comfortable position. The spine should be loosely perpendicular to your shoulders and hips, as your body is supported evenly throughout its length. With over 120 muscles, 100 joints and 220 ligaments, the human spine is a mechanical marvel. Its 13-anda-half million neurons carry commands from the brain to the rest of the body. Your back muscles are continuously working to support your spine—even when you’re standing still. The spine’s only down time is during sleep.

And even then, it needs proper support to fully relax.

If you are sleeping on a bed that is too firm, your shoulders and hips are not able to sink in, so they buckle toward each other resulting in a curved stressed spine. In a sagging bed, your body sinks into a hammock position causing your shoulders and hips to pinch in, with your spine ending up unnaturally curved.

In The DUX® Bed, your spine is able to rest in a natural, more relaxed position. Imagine a bed perfectly supporting you every night and imagine waking up each morning not only achefree, but also well-rested and rejuvenated. The DUX® Bed can help make this possible.

both couldn’t believe how quickly the weight came off. He lost about 23 pounds while he was on the program, and I lost about 40 pounds over multiple rounds. We chose BeBalanced because everyone we know who’s tried it has been successful. From a health standpoint, we’re not spring chickens anymore. My husband’s knees are shot, so he couldn’t exercise all the time just to stay at a healthy weight. I’d done other diets before, like Nutrisystem® and Weight Watchers®. I also joined The Biggest Loser® program at my gym and exercised like crazy. But it took so long to lose weight that I struggled to motivate myself and stay on track. I would get depressed by the fact that I was failing at my goals.

After With BeBalanced, I was losing a pound a day. Seeing such fast results from my hard work was really appealing. I knew it was working in the first few days.

I was also sleeping better and had more energy.

Doing the program as a couple was a lot easier. We support each other instead of tempting each other to fall off the wagon and we have all the right foods in the fridge.

Even cooking for the whole family was easier than I expected.

It’s frustrating to feel overweight.

When you’re taking care of your family and your business, it can feel like caring for yourself always comes last. But now I just feel better about myself. I have a sense of accomplishment, that I’ve done something well, and that’s empowering to me to look for the next thing I can conquer.

We don’t have a “planet B” to move to, so it is our collective responsibility to care for the only Earth we have. When I see the five enormous garbage patches in our oceans, filled outside-of-the-box ideas. It’s not a primarily with plastic waste, the air coincidence that many of the top pollution that blankets our cities, our businessmen and entrepreneurs have coveted national parks and even our ADHD including: billionaire Richard once pristine polar ice caps, or the Branson, JetBlue founder David toxic insecticide use that is causing Neeleman and Kinkos founder Paul the disappearance of our honeybee Orfalea.

apply that to your body.

• Become familiar with the Dirty Dozen, a list of conventional produce to avoid, per the Environmental Working Group (EWG.org). These 12 fruits and vegetables are known to be the most contaminated with pesticides, with strawberries and spinach being the worst on the list. Choose the organic form of these items instead.

colonies, it is depressing. One of these atrocities would be bad enough, but unfortunately, these examples are just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak.

Our society has become so addicted to convenience and instant gratification, that we often don’t think about how our actions will impact future generations.

Q A

What are the most common chemicals in our food and water?

In our food, we need to be concerned about the numerous pesticides and herbicides used on all of the crops that aren’t grown organically.

For instance, glyphosate is the most commonly used agricultural chemical in the U.S. and has been linked to cancer. We can’t just wash this stuff off so it is important to buy organic produce and grains as often as possible.

We also need to be concerned about the hormones and antibiotics that are given to factory farmed animals, as they wind up in our conventional meat and dairy products. Consuming too many antibiotics contributes to antibiotic resistant bacteria. Our water may contain chemicals such as lead, chromium-6, fluoride, chlorine, chloramine, 1,4-dioxane, and a variety of pharmaceutical drugs. The only way to know what you’re drinking is to have your water tested. My recommendation is to use a good reverse osmosis filtration system...or unfortunately, your body becomes the filter.

Q A

What five easy tips can you offer people to live healthier? Tips they can start right now.

• Read ingredient labels.

If there is an obscure ingredient that you can’t pronounce, look it up.

Decide if you want to ingest or

• Stop buying plastic bottles of water.

Besides being an environmental nightmare, plastic bottles are made from PET, an endocrine disrupting chemical, that can leach into your water and negatively affect your hormones.

• Search for an eco-friendly dry cleaner that doesn’t use PERC, a chemical that has been classified as a likely human carcinogen. PERC off gasses and can cause respiratory problems and damage to the central nervous system.

• Be aware of the term “fragrance” in cleaning products and personal care products. That one word is a catch-all term for proprietary formulas that can contain up to 100 different ingredients, and some of those could be toxic. Buy unscented products or those scented with essential oils instead.

Q A

Do you think technology helps or hinders how we can live healthier lifestyle? Why?

Technology can both help and hinder our desire for living a healthier lifestyle.

For instance, we are so fortunate to have information technology at our fingertips. And things like imaging tools or prosthetic limbs have saved and improved numerous lives. However, I often think that we have let our imaginations get the best of us without extrapolating all of the possible negative scenarios. For instance, I discuss antibiotics in my book. They are wonderful life saving medicines that were created to help people overcome bacterial infections.

However, what began as a medicine to be used judiciously, soon became vastly overused in our livestock and often misused for things like viral infections. This has caused us to enter into an era of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, where it is feared by many scientists and doctors that we will not have the necessary antibiotics to fight off critical infections.

Q A

Why should someone read Living in the Chemical Age?

One in two men and one in three women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives.

About 50 million people have an autoimmune disorder. One in 68 children have autism. Almost half of all Americans are either diabetic or pre-diabetic. If these statistics bother you, then you will want to read Living in the Chemical Age. Now, more than ever before in our history, we are inundated with toxic, manmade chemicals in our food, water, air, cleaning products, personal care products and pharmaceuticals.

These chemicals just didn’t exist 100 years ago. We have 85,000 chemicals on the market today and only a few hundred have ever been tested for safety. Some are proving to be neurotoxic or endocrine disruptors. I believe most of us are taking in more toxins than we’re able to excrete on a daily basis, and our bodies are struggling to keep up with the constant bombardment. And as a result, we’re getting sick with these devastating

HIV ‘Hot Spots’ Identified On Long Island And Queens

o reduce the number of new HIV diagnoses on Long Island and Queens, clinicians from Northwell Health’s Center for AIDS Research and Treatment (CART) at North Shore University Hospital are using new technology and data to identify communities where the virus is highly prevalent, and target prevention and treatment efforts there.

The latest reports show there are 130,000 people living with HIV in New York State. On Long Island alone, 6,810 people are HIV-positive.

In Queens, nearly 18,000 are infected with the virus.

To help combat this dangerous trend, Joseph McGowan, MD, CART medical director and professor at Northwell’s Center for Health Innovations and Outcomes Research at the Feinstein Institute, presented data at a news conference at the hospital today that identified local HIV “hot spots”—Hempstead, Westbury and Huntington Station on Long Island, and Rosedale and surrounding areas in Eastern Queens.

The CART team developed an extensive survey and customized web-based software, known as RED Cap, to collect and analyze data. The software and epidemiologic data from Northwell and the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute is able to produce “heat maps” showing the locations of the highest incidence of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.

“The software enables us to query, collect and analyze information regarding mental health issues, substance use, housing status and other social issues,” said McGowan. “We’ve linked that to levels of treatment compliance, adherence to appointments and viral suppression rates. These data also demonstrates various health care disparities so we are able to get a comprehensive picture of people living in the community, which helps us better target our efforts.

Dr. McGowan was invited to Atlanta on Wednesday to share his data and response plan with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention.

“We know where new HIV diagnoses and sexually transmitted infections are occurring,” McGowan said, “We know where those who don’t have viral suppression live. We are working with community leaders to determine how to reach those affected and ways to engage them

Above, Participating at the news conference at North Shore University Hospital was CART’s medical director Dr. Joseph McGowan, Jessica Clark, the center’s community mobilization coordinator, and Jeffrey Kemp, a patient at CART. Left, CART patient Jeffrey Kemp uses a “Get” app on his phone to securely track doctor appointments and lab work.

in care. We must work together to remove barriers to care.”

Jeffrey Kemp, 35, a long-time Long Island resident who has been living with HIV for 15 years, participated in the conference. Thanks to the treatment he received at CART and a new social media app on his phone, he is stable for the first time and has an undetectable viral load. Kemp said the app was “a life saver.” It kept him on track with doctor appointments, medication reminders and lab results. Users of the GET! app also have the ability to text peer educators, known as Peeps, for questions and support.

The New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute’s YGetIt? Project developed the mobile application GET! The YGetIt? Project is one of 10 projects sponsored by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) special projects of national significance (SPNS) initiative. The GET! app was developed by Mount Sinai Applab and is currently available on Android and iOS to study participants. Northwell

anticipates it will be widely available to the public in 2019.

CART is the only site in New York and one of nine nationwide selected to use the YGetIt app, developed by the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute. CART recently achieved a milestone of more than 100 app users.

Jessica Clark, community mobilization coordinator at CART, outlined several community initiatives being pursued by Northwell to encourage local residents to get tested for the virus, including: a new collaboration this year with Walgreens in targeted communities to offer free, regular HIV-testing using Northwell’s mobile health van, educating women in high-risk neighborhoods and other outreach efforts. On Long Island alone, it’s estimated that there are approximately 1,000 residents with undiagnosed HIV. CART’s new research will help identify the best approach for reducing health disparities in low-income communities and improving access to care. Many of the health disparities identified by McGowan’s team reflect the social determinants of health, such as income, housing status, food security, trauma, and incarceration.

Health care teams from CART will focus resources and interventions on

people with a history of domestic violence, suicide, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance abuse, mental health issues and other factors known to increase the risk of contracting HIV and to reduce adherence to care for those living with HIV. “As we delve into the outcome disparities that we see among our patients, it has become clear to us that the way we communicate and motivate has to be in the correct cultural context,” said McGowan. “In that regard we are looking to recruit Popular Opinion Leaders within the communities most affected by HIV to instruct us in the best ways to engage hard to reach persons living with or at risk for HIV infection.”

North Shore University Hospital’s Center for AIDS Research and Treatment is the largest New York State-designated AIDS center on Long Island, treating 2,200 patients.

Over the past 15 years, the center has seen a 10 percent annual increase in its HIV caseload.

“Our approach is unique,” said McGowan. “We need to get interventions into the community, learn the root causes of health care disparities and communicate and act more effectively.”

Words To Eliminate To Elevate Personal Power

Each word we speak carries with it a certain energy and has the power to create our experiences in the world.

Our words communicate to ourselves and to others, our integrity and what we hold value for. As with all things, we have a choice to use phrases that elevate us or use phrases that keep us small. I invite you to get mindful about the messaging that your words are communicating. Consider removing

these words and phrases from your vocabulary to reclaim your personal power and create newer and more empowering experiences. I invite you to find alternate ways of conveying your messages that will serve and support you to grow.

Whatever: Using this word conveys that you simply don’t care and that you’re potentially dismissing what someone has said to you.

LIFE EVOLUTIONS

It’s not my fault: Would you rather be right or be happy? Move out of the problem mindset and do your part to be in the solution mindset.

It’s not fair: Using this phrase points the finger at the outside world. Accept responsibility for your choices and move forward with the new information that is now available to you.

Placing blame will keep you in a state of stagnancy.

Melody Pourmoradi Why me?: These words will keep us stuck in a victim mentality rather than helping us to feel like we have influence over a given situation. Accepting the reality of a circumstance and finding a way grow from it will set you on the right path.

Someday: As far as I know, this day is not on the calendar. If you want to do something, time is of the essence. Get deliberate about your timeline and step into action.

But what if...?: This phrase plants seeds of doubt and worry that a desired outcome is out of the realm of possibility. We are more powerful than we realize.

Impossible: This word blocks creativity and blocks you from finding a way to make something work. Shout out to my dad for this one who always taught us that “Impossible is Impossible”.

If only...: These words create a story for us to not go after what we want. We are creating scenarios in our mind of all the reasons that a given outcome is not possible.

Should: Using this word usually identifies something that someone else thinks we ought to be doing and does not express our own true desires. Be mindful about your own true desires.

I’ll try: This conveys indecisiveness and passive permission to fail without any actual effort. Often when we say, “I’ll try” we aren’t truly planning on following through.

Just: This simple tiny word minimizes whatever comes after it often making ourselves and our accomplishments small and unworthy.

I don’t care: Nobody wants to spend time with someone who simply doesn’t care. Chances are you do care and this is a defense mechanism that is employed to deflect from your true feelings.

Allowing our words to be a true reflection of our power and our greatest potential can be truly life changing.

Five Non-Surgical Steps For Treating Arthritis which you may not have been able to do otherwise.

Improve your bone health

Improving your bone health with increased calcium intake, daily vitamin D, and weight-bearing exercises can lessen the pain of arthritis. Should you eventually need a total joint replacement, building up your bone density will improve your chances of having a long-lasting replacement.

Arthritis is not something that can be removed with surgery or scraped out with a scope. Listen to your joints. When you’ve tried all of these non-surgical measures and they don’t seem to work any longer, surgery may be your best option. If so, rapid and successful recovery is possible by having optimized your physical and nutritional health beforehand.

Dr. Victor Romano is an orthopedic surgeon in Oak Park, IL., and the author of Finding The Source: Maximizing Your Results—With and Without Orthopaedic Surgery.

He is board-certified in orthopedics and sports medicine with more than 25 years of experience in the field.

He graduated cum laude from the University of Notre Dame and completed medical school at the University of Loyola-Chicago.

Memorial Sloan Kettering now routinely offers Long Island patients the most advanced stereotactic prostate treatment

Memorial Sloan Kettering in Rockville Centre.

For decades, experts at Memorial Sloan Kettering have developed sophisticated ways to safely and effectively deliver powerful doses of radiation to a person’s cancer with incredible precision. Advances in technology have made it possible to refine and optimize the techniques we use to destroy tumors with radiation, minimizing injury to the healthy tissue surrounding it.

Radiation therapy uses precisely focused, high-energy beams to kill cancer cells. It’s usually delivered from a machine outside the body (called external-beam radiation therapy), most often in the form of x-rays.

At Memorial Sloan Kettering, we have particular expertise in the use of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), which employs multiple beams at different angles and intensi-

ties to deliver varying doses of radiation directly to the tumor.

IMRT allows the radiation dose to conform more precisely to the three-dimensional shape of the tumor by distributing the intensity of the radiation beam over multiple smaller beams.

Our extensive experience working with IMRT has served as an important foundation for the development of additional approaches to treat people with cancer. One such approach, called stereotactic body radiosurgery (SBRT), is leading to better outcomes and fewer side effects for many patients.

SBRT is a form of external beam radiation in which physicians use advanced imaging technologies like CT, PET, and MRI, combined with a sophisticated computer guidance system to pinpoint the exact location of the tumor during treatment, and adjust the radiation beams as needed. SBRT: • destroys tumors with increased precision, permitting delivery of higher doses of

Prostate tumors are better controlled when treated with a larger individual dose of radiation, which can now be done safely and effectively with this technology. We have treated hundreds of patients with this approach, which has a number of advantages: • the entire course of radiation can be given in only five treatment sessions, each taking only several minutes, compared with other forms of external beam radiation, which

Together these techniques maximize treatment accuracy and minimize the potential risk of rectal side effects from SHARP.

America’s Luxury Brand

adillac’s history can be traced back to the beginning of the 18th century. Although coaches, horse riding or walking were the favorite means of locomotion during those times and no cars had been yet made, it’s important to trace the brand to its origins. The genesis of Cadillac as it is widely known today began in 1701, when a group of French explorers led by Le Sieur Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac traveled to the northern parts of the U.S. and established Ville d’Etroit. The settling would ultimately come to be known as Detroit, a flourishing industrial city, teeming with car plants and foundries.

However, Sir Cadillac would not have any connection to the future of the Cadillac car workshops. Its

ANTON AUTO GUIDE • MAY 16 - 22, 2018

CADILLAC from page 25A actual beginnings can be traced to the mid 19th century, when a boy named Henry Martyn Leland was born. Leland grew up on a farm near Barton, VT, where he received a solid working-education that taught him the importance of doing a job properly, regardless of its importance.

The farm-training he received, combined with his penchant for improving working methods, led to his growth as an engineer.

However, Cadillac would not yet emerge as an automobile brand. By 1890, Leland had founded his own company in partnership with Robert C. Faulconer and Norton, after having convinced the former of the city’s need for machine shops. The company’s area of expertise was gear grinding and the development of special tools.

Soon after the company received general credit for the quality of the products it marketed and Leland had asserted himself as a talented engineer, the shift from steam-powered vehicles to gasoline-powered ones was made.

Following the work of the visionary Daimler and Benz in Europe, a man named Ransom Eli Olds from Michigan teamed up with a group of investors under a firm called Olds Gasoline Engine Works. Their main objective was to build a gasoline-powered engine to be fitted on the chassis of a vehicle.

The project was a success but the resulting product was flawed: the gears in the transmission were too loud. Olds turned to Leland and Faulconer for help. The two entered a straight competition against the Dodge brothers who were also supplying engines for Olds. Although Leland’s ultimately developed 10.25 Hp engine was better than that of Dodge, Olds turned it down due to the high car sales his company registered at the time. Basically, there was no need for a new engine.

Still, Leland’s engine would soon come to use. Shortly after Olds’ refusal of using the newly designed engine, Leland was looked up by two men concerning the liquidation of a company that had previously built cars. Its name was the Detroit Automobile Company and had been initially reorganized by Henry Ford, who left shortly after the company began crumbling again. Leland persuaded the

investors to stay in business, convincing them of the utility and importance of the automobile industry in the near future.

With an engine already designed, Leland and Faulconer were brought in and the company adopted the name of Cadillac, that of the explorer that had founded the city over two centuries ago. The Cadillac coat of arms was adopted as the company’s new logo and the baby-firm would still receive international recognition for its automobiles.

Leland’s engines had already garnered appreciation and were some of the most accurately built units of the time. In fact, not only the engines were reliable and built with pinpoint precision, but they were also highly versatile, successfully catering for the need of interchangeability. This feature has earned Cadillac the Dewer Trophy, being the first time when such an award was handed to an American automobile manufacturer.

Later on, Cadillac would be part of a larger entity, the General Motors company, then run

by William Crapo Durant—who paid $4.5M in cash for Leland’s company to merge with GM. From that point on, several models would be developed and enter production by Leland’s departure in 1917.

The Brougham, Fleetwood, Deville and the Eldorado are some of the most famous models build by the GM’s prodigious branch.

Its accomplishments vary from speed breaking records on American territory to engineering improvements that were a premiere for the automotive world. For example, Cadillac introduced the revolutionary electrical lighting and ignition Delco system as standard equipment on their cars, as well as boasting the world’s first independent front suspension on its entire line of automobiles in 1934.

Closed cooling systems, electronic injection systems and catalytic converters are also among the long list of first-to-have-done things introduced by Cadillac in the US. Despite the low reception of the brand in Europe, Cadillac remains one of the great classics overseas, still boasting a privileged status among American car producers. After all, it’s a brand deeply rooted in nobility grounds.

Cadillac Partakes In New York’s Autonomous Vehicle Testing

BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

Cadillac, Hollywood-style

SPECIALSECTIONS@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Governor Andrew Cuomo announced General Motors and Cruise Automation have begun applying the first sustained testing of vehicles in fully autonomous mode in New York State during the past couple of months. Through Cuomo’s recent legislation allowing the testing of autonomous technology, GM and Cruise have started testing in Manhattan, in a geofenced area. All testing included an engineer in the driver’s seat to monitor and evaluate performance, and a second person in the passenger seat. In support of this work, Cruise is expanding its presence in New York and will begin building a team of employees in New York City.

“Autonomous vehicles have the potential to save time and save lives, and we are proud to be working with GM and Cruise on the future of this exciting new technology,” Cuomo said. “The spirit of innovation is what defines New York, and we are positioned on the forefront of this emerging industry that has the potential to be the next great technological advance that moves our economy and moves us forward.”

The legislation, included in the FY 2018 budget, allows for the testing of autonomous technology in New York through a pilot program. Cruise’s planned testing is the first time Level 4 autonomous vehicles will be tested in New York State, presenting opportunities for future autonomous vehicle development in the state and cementing New York’s role as the hub of autonomous vehicle innovation in the nation.

“Testing in New York will accelerate the timeline to deploying self-driving cars at scale,” said Kyle Vogt, CEO of Cruise Automation. “New York City is one of the most densely populated places in the world and provides new opportunities to expose our software to unusual situations, which means we can improve our software at a much faster rate.”

Nearly a year ago, New York State Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul participated in road testing of an autonomous Cadillac SUV organized by the University of Buffalo on campus roads. The demonstration was part of the annual summer meeting of the Council of the University Transportation Centers, a Washington, D.C.-based organization

Long been an American icon, the Cadillac has also made a name for itself on the big screen, often stealing the spotlight from the mega-famous Hollywood celebrities that it stars alongside.

Although the Cadillac appears in dozens of movies, here are some of our favorites: 1. 1959 Cadillac Miller as the ambulance from Ghostbusters

2018 Cadillac CT6 (Courtesy of General Motors) that represents more than 90 universities and colleges nationwide, including UB. In September, Cadillac embarked on the first official Coast-to-Coast hands-free drive on freeways, in New York City. The cars used were Cadillac CT6s equipped with Super Cruise—the first hands-free highway

driver assist system. This was also the first-time self-driving cars were officially driven on New York City roads.

The Department of Motor Vehicles and State Police are working with Cruise and GM to ensure all testing meets relevant safety, vehicle and insurance requirements.

The Paramount, Huntington If there’s one thing Huntington has plenty of—besides bar-hopping bros and gals—it’s an eclectic mix of restaurants with chefs operating at the top of their game. There’s tapas-forward eateries Swallow and Cafe Buenos Aires, cozy pubs F.H. Riley’s and Meehan’s, and the perfect for a late-night binge Little Vincent’s. But the restaurant that truly embodies a concert atmosphere through food and feel is Radio Radio (24 Clinton Ave.), from the owners of nearby Huntington burger haven gastropub, the eternally cramped Vauxhall.

This southern-style bistro and BBQ eatery boasts barbecue platters with ribs and brisket, along with southern fare like Nashville hot chicken, catfish, hush puppies, pulled pork and po’boy sandwiches. And if the concert happens to be on a Friday or Saturday night, roll down to Radio Radio after the show for late night tacos from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m.

The Space at Westbury Situated on quaint, yet bustling, Post Avenue, the Space (250 Post Ave.) has become one of Long Island’s most treasured intimate concert halls—and just steps away is one of Long Island’s most treasured hidden food gems. Little Mexico is often tightly packed with eaters and for good reason, as it consistently ranks near the top of the island’s vast Mexican food army. Traditional tacos—handmade round tortillas—are stuffed with steak, chicken, pork, chorizo and more, while the tortas—with much of the same ingredients as the tacos—are some of the best anywhere on the island. Burritos, enchiladas and other platters are also available, but adventurous eaters simply must sample Little Mexico’s various dishes featuring la lengua—or beef tongue. Little Mexico sports a full bar, including plenty of sangria, which is perfect for pre-concert hijinks.

When the Nassau Coliseum was reincarnated as NYCB Live, Home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, it once again became a live music destination for Long Islanders. Surrounding restaurants benefited from the coliseum’s rebirth, with concert-goers finding their favorite preshow grub spot and watering hole to load up on sustenance. Hempstead Turnpike in the vicinity of the coliseum has plenty of options—everything from fast food to fine dining can be found within a 10 minute drive. Topping the list is Sufiya’s Grill (2320 Hempstead Tpke.), with cuisine spanning the Mediterranean, including gyros, kebabs and falafel. But the main event is Sufiya’s authentic Persian cuisine, mainly its various grilled meats, stews and seafood. Be sure to indulge in the restaurant’s rice, particularly the cherry or barberry rice—both can’t-miss side dishes.

Spinning This Season

Hotly anticipated upcoming albums Courtney Barnett Tell Me How You Really Feel — May 18 Courtney Barnett returns with her second full-length album, delivering a collection of songs that continues the Australian singer-songwriter’s lyrical mastery of life’s internal and external anxieties, with an extra dose of back-handed charm. Tell Me How You Really Feel’s first single, “Nameless, Faceless,” is a witty dismantling of male-dominated comment sections with lyrics that muse “You sit alone at home in the darkness/With all the pent-up rage that you harness/I’m real sorry/‘bout whatever happened to you,” with a charging refrain that laments (Margaret Atwood-style) “I wanna walk through the park in the dark/Men are scared that women will laugh at them/I wanna walk through the park in the dark/Women are scared that men will kill them/I hold my keys/ Between my fingers.” It’s all supported

by Barnett’s filthy riff-work and a driving rhythm section.

Father John Misty God’s Favorite Customer — June 1 Josh Tillman’s alter-ego is back with a follow-up to last year’s sprawling and ambitious Pure Comedy with God’s Favorite Customer, an album that at first blush seems to deliver more personal and self-aware lyrics with straightforward, meaningful instrumentation. The first single, “Mr. Tillman” guides the listener through the singer’s personal paranoia of a life that finds him constantly checking in

and out of hotels, all atop a dreamlike musical arrangement. The second release, “Just Dumb Enough To Try,” finds Tillman at his most sincere, as he examines a relationship that is either ending or just beginning, with lyrics that confess “I know a few ten-cent words/I can break out to keep up with her/But you can take what I know about love/And drown it in the sink,” while the underlying piano work keeps the song heartfelt and genuine.

Neko Case Hell-On — June 1 Neko Case’s first solo effort in five years has the fearless singer-songwriter displaying her indomitable spirit with an album that continues her knack for making the listener feel like it was written precisely for them at this specific moment in time. Hell-On’s title track is an ominous, slow-burning lullaby, with off-kilter guitar plucking, deeply foreboding strings and a lyrical assault that begins, “God is not a contract or a guy/God is an unspecified tide/You cannot time its tables/It sets no glass or gables/ God is a lusty tire fire.” The song, much like Case’s career, effortlessly switches mood to breezy country tune before returning to the darkness. The song certainly sets the tone for the rest of the album, warning the listener that deceptively simple arrangements often hide perilous secrets waiting to be revealed.

Roger Daltrey As Long As I Have You — June 1 On top of releasing his long-awaited memoir and teaming up with local orchestras as part of a tour where he’ll be performing his band’s 1969 opus Tommy in its entirety, Roger Daltrey returns with his first solo album in

Christina Aguilera

Violence evolved into what will be Nine Inch Nails’ ninth studio album and its first full-length outing since 2013’s Hesitation Marks. With NIN creative mastermind Trent Reznor turning his group into a duo alongside musical collaborator Atticus Ross (who became an official member of the band in 2016 and teamed up with Reznor to win a 2011 Oscar for Best Score for the Social Network), fans should be pleased according to Reznor, who addressed the decision to make this a full-blown recording by saying, “The reason this has been delayed is because it took us a while for—what has become the third [record]—to reveal itself to us.”

Liberation — June 15

Drake

It may have been six years since Christina Aguilera released her last album, 2012’s Lotus, but she’s remained busy. In between jumping in and out as a judge on The Voice, Aguilera kept her creative juices flowing with acting roles and recording the odd track.

Liberation will be Xtina’s eighth studio album and the first single “Accelerate” features rappers Ty Dolla $ign and 2 Chainz. Other collaborators include Demi Lovato, Kanye West and multi-instrumentalist Anderson Paak. While Aguilera is being coy about just how the album will sound, she did say in a recent interview that “I’m at the place, even musically, where it’s a liberating feeling to be able to strip it all back and appreciate who you are and your raw beauty.”

Scorpion — June 28

more than a quarter century. Pete Townshend lends his guitar skills to seven of the album’s 11 cuts, which mix originals and notable covers of Stephen Stills (“How Far”), Nick Cave (“Into My Arms”), Stevie Wonder (“You Haven’t Done Nothing”) and storied R&B singer Garnett Mimms (the title cut). According to Daltrey, “This is a return to the very beginning, to the time before Pete started writing our songs, to a time when we were a teenage band playing soul music to small crowds in church halls.”

Nine Inch Nails Bad Witch — June 22 What was supposed to be the third of a trio of EPs following 2016’s Not the Actual Events and last year’s Add

20180518_XAL_LNW_PG00 - 1:5 May 14, 2018

Within the past year, Drake has released More Life, which served as more of a mix tape, featuring genres like hip hop, R&B and pop, and Scary Hours, a two-song EP featuring his chart-topping song “God’s Plan,” which held the number one spot on the Hot 100 for 11 weeks.

The Canadian rapper is set to release his first full-length album since his 2016 album Views. The album, titled Scorpion, is believed to make reference to the rapper’s zodiac sign and will be produced by his longtime producer 40 and OVO manager Olivier El-Khatib. Possibly featured on the album could be his latest song “Nice for What,” which was produced by Murda Beatz. Known for sure about the album is that the artist has teased a possible documentary or short film to coincide with the album’s release.

Cyndi Lauper’s

True Colors

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

T

here may be a current cultural divide going on in America, but in Cyndi Lauper’s world, diversity, acceptance and equality for all is part of her everyday normal. And she goes far beyond paying lip service to her ideals. The Queens native is someone who walks the walk, reflected in the annual Home For the Holidays concert she hosts at Manhattan’s Beacon Theatre, where 100 percent of the net proceeds from the concert support her True Colors Fund’s programs to raise awareness about youth homelessness in the LGBTQ community.

Lauper’s tireless advocacy dates back to 2001, as the reverberations from Matthew Shepard’s 1998 murder found Lauper being asked permission to use one of her songs for a Shepard documentary. The vocalist subsequently became friends with Shepard’s mother Judy, herself a fervent LGBT

rights advocate.

“I got involved early on because of friends and family. In 2001, I heard about Matthew Shepard and they came to me to ask if they could use ‘Shine’ for a documentary. So they explained the whole thing to me. I couldn’t believe that it happened like that, but it did,” she explained. “Then I got involved with Judy Shepard, who I saw at a Human Rights Commission [HRC] event. I saw her sitting at an HRC concert and she looked sad. I realized that she was a mother, so I sat down and told her that she looked like she could use a drink and to come on tour with me. It went from T-shirts to getting involved with HRC and getting involved with P-Flag and Judy Shepard.”

Lauper’s dedication to equality found her recording “Above the Clouds,” a song tribute to Matthew Shepard co-written with Jeff Beck for her 2005 album The Body Acoustic. Furthermore, Lauper’s True Colors Tour 2007 for

Human Rights provided information to fans, and purple wristbands with the slogan “Erase Hate” from The Matthew Shepard Foundation. A dollar from every ticket sold went to the Human

Rights Campaign, which advocates equal rights for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer people.

I really loved her music, her sound and voice,” she recalled. “I always wanted to sing a country record. I learned a lot about singing from listening to Patsy Cline, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, Johnny Burnette and all those rockabilly guys.”

While Lauper’s current tour finds her set limited to opening with Jackson’s 1961 gem “Funnel of Love,” while mixing in her own hits like “She Bop,” “Money Changes Everything” and “Time After Time,” Nashville has always held a special place for Lauper, who recorded albums against the grain, dating to her 1983 like Sisters of Avalon and Shine in nearby breakthrough album She’s So Unusual.

Warped Memories Readers reflect as annual tour comes to an end

BY STEVE MOSCO SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

W

ay back in 1995 when roaming music festivals catered to a particular demographic, a tour came along that expanded the concept to other genres and in doing so, appealed to the skate punks, emo kids, hardcore heads and more—all with dozens of bands on numerous stages and a decidedly damn-the-man atmosphere, along with dehydration brought on by overpriced water.

Warped Tour (and starting in 1996, Vans Warped Tour), has blistered through the countryside for more than 20 years, but this summer it all comes to an end. Before the gear is packed up for good—and the fairgrounds are returned to the fairs—Long Island Weekly readers recall their memories of the Vans Warped Tour to the best of their ability.

“My first Warped Tour was in 2000 at Randall’s Island. It was pouring rain when we showed up, only for promoters at the gate to tell us that due to the weather, it was postponed. When it finally did kick off the following day, what was mud had been baked into brittle dirt by the blazing summer sun. And in mosh pits, dirt quickly becomes nose-clogging dust. During NOFX’s set, a massive dust cloud built up over the pit, choking the air and filling every orifice in my head. Being a 20-year-old moron, not being able to see or breath didn’t matter to me. All that mattered was experiencing live music at that moment in time.”

—Barry Z.

“Warped Tour 2000 happened only four years after Sublime singer Bradley Nowell died. For me, those three Sublime albums were the soundtrack to high school. I never got to hear that music live until 2000, when Sublime offshoot Long Beach Dub All-Stars played a set at the Randall’s Island Warped. While the singer wasn’t Bradley, it was a thrill to hear the music that was such a huge part of my life live for the first time. It also was great to see Green Day in 2000 before they reentered pop music with American Idiot in 2004. At the 2000 show, they performed with no gimmicks, no eyeliner and no tweens in the audience.

That is how I prefer to remember that band—just pure recklessness for the entire set.”

—Vinny F. “My first Warped Tour was Aug. 4, 1996, in Asbury Park, NJ. This was the second year of Warped Tour overall and my first Warped Tour experience.

To say it was a pivotal moment for me, is an understatement. It opened my eyes to another world, which was vibrant and just picking up steam, at a time when mid-’90s alt rock and metal were in a very sorry state. It was also one of my first festival assignments as a music journalist and my access to the bands and stages was phenomenal. And what a lineup: The Mighty Mighty Bosstones headlined, at the height of their popularity, and tore the place down. There were also epic performances by Fishbone, Reel Big Fish, Dancehall Crashers, NOFX, Pennywise and CIV. Afterward, I hung around with Fishbone and

NOFX inside the Stone Pony and had spirited chats with a drunken Fat Mike and an even drunker Norwood Fisher, who told me, “Warped Tour is like spitting in the wind...” After that I went into the dressing room and had a one-on-one interview with Dicky Barrett from the Bosstones, which was an unforgettable highlight.”

—Brendan M. “I was 16. An angsty teenager whose ‘woe is me’ outlook on life had her shopping exclusively at Hot Topic. I had an awkward haircut, black eyeliner that was much too thick and a burning desire to see in concert all the punk-rock bands I listened to on my iPod Classic. My friend and I stocked up on sunscreen and bought tickets for Warped Tour’s Long Island date—July 21, 2012, at the Nassau Coliseum. A lot of firsts

happened at Warped Tour. I smelled the sickly-sweet aroma of marijuana for the first time and was horrified at how the scent had permeated my clothes. I was asked if I got sprayed by a skunk when I finally arrived home. I saw All Time Low perform for the first time and my emo self nearly fainted at the site of Alex Gaskarth live in person. I survived my first mosh pit and begged my friend to never make me go in one again. I spent copious amounts of money on band merch and watched a video about chicken cruelty so I could get $1. But most memorable was sitting that night with cold, tea-soaked washcloths spread across my shoulders to pull the heat out of my sunburns because I didn’t reapply my sunscreen enough—a satisfying I-told-you-so moment for my mom.”

—Allison E. “In Chicago 2005, I was in high school and went with friends. It was amazing to see a ton of my favorite bands—Paramore, Boys Like Girls, The Almost, Rocket Summer. There were probably four stages with bands playing at all times. And my younger sister crowd surfed and I lost my shoes in the mosh it. It was epic.”

—Alexis T. “I’ve been to 10 Warped Tours. Your body hates you for it since you’re stuck in 90-plus degrees outside and water is a luxury—also, it’s $20 for a single chicken tender. But I waited around until 8 p.m. to see Bad Religion and The Casualties signed my T-shirt, so it was all worth it.” —Amy I.

How To Survive A Music Festival

BY BETSY ABRAHAM BABRAHAM@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

W

hether you’re into jazz, EDM, pop, indie, hip hop or a mix of it all, there’s a music festival out there for you. New Yorkers have the advantage of being able to stay close to home to see their favorite musical acts take the stage, as Electric Zoo transforms Randall’s Island to an electronic dance paradise from Aug. 31 to Sept.

2, AFROPUNK Fest blends music and activism in Brooklyn on Aug. 25-26 and the freshest names in hip hop come to Hot 97’s Summer Jam at MetLife Stadium on June 10. And though these multi-day events are usually marked by hours of standing in the hot sun surrounded by strangers who haven’t showered in days, music festivals are a lot of fun, especially if done right. Here are a few tips and tricks on how to make it out alive.

Have A Plan There’s a reason festivals pay someone (we assume) to maintain websites and apps with important information visitors need to know. Make sure you find out where to stay, the easiest way to

get there, what you can and can’t bring into the venue and what to do in case of an emergency.

And as obvious as it sounds, you’ll also want to find out when your favorite acts are playing so you can snag a spot front and center before the crowds show up. You should also check if lockers are available; having a safe and secure place to store your stuff can allow you to dance in peace without worrying if someone’s stealing your beer and food rations.

And in between coordinating your festival outfits, make sure you and your friends have a plan on what happens when you inevitably get separated.

Cell phone service can be spotty at festival sites, so set up a designated meeting spot. It’s also a good idea to write down important phone numbers on a piece of paper (yes, an actual piece of paper) so if your phone dies and you have to rely on a kind stranger, you can dial more than just 911.

feet all day and the weather can fluctuate. Pack light layers and comfortable closed-toed sneakers, as well as a hat for sun and poncho for potential rain.

And keep the diamonds at home; there’s a risk that anything you bring into the festival will get messy, damaged or lost so make sure everything you bring is expendable.

You should also prepare for port-a-potties and few (if any) showers, which means toilet paper, wet wipes and plenty of hand sanitizer should definitely find its way into your bag. And to ensure that your festival memories aren’t scarred by a terrible sunburn, make sure to pack plenty of sunscreen.

Don’t leave home without your portable phone charger either; you’ll be taking plenty of photos and videos and the last thing you want is to be left with a dead phone.

Pack Light, Pack Right

Yes, you’ll want to soak up every moment of dancing, drinking and all out revelry, but make sure you take some time to rest and recharge. Get some sleep, even if it’s naps here and there. Staying hydrated is also essential—the last thing you want is to pass out while crowdsurfing.

Sure, social media will have you believe that everyone at a festival is walking around in wedges and a crop top, but that’s not always the case.

Comfort is key at festivals, where you’ll be on your
