Ice Cream Worth Melting For

BY BETSY ABRAHAM BABRAHAM@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

T

here is never a bad time for ice cream.

Regardless of season, time of day or place in life, ice cream is always a good choice. But there is something quintessentially summer about this frozen treat: the way we race to lick up every drop of our favorite scoop before it becomes a melted mess or rely on it to cool down after a day at the beach.

And while we may not need a reason to indulge, National Ice Cream Day on Sunday, July 15, is the perfect excuse to ask for extra sprinkles. To celebrate this momentous occasion, Carvel is offering customers buy one get one free soft serve, while Baskin-Robbins is keeping the party going all month, offering free delivery through the month of July via DoorDash.

But there are plenty of local ice cream parlors where you can get your frozen fix as well. And while ice cream at these Long Island staples may not come with a special deal, it’s served up with a smile and in flavors as unique as the venue themselves.

Marvel Frozen Dairy

258 Lido Blvd., Lido Beach 516-889-4232 Sun-kissed customers are the norm at Marvel Frozen Dairy on Lido Beach, which has been doling out fresh and creamy soft serve for decades. Fan favorites include both pistachio and coffee, as well as anything loaded up with sprinkles. Though parking at this ice cream stand can be tricky, customers say it’s absolutely worth it.

Coyle’s Ice Cream

509 Main St., Islip 631-617-5014 75 Howells Rd., Bay Shore 631-666-2229 A stop at Coyle’s is the cherry on top of a day spent at Fire Island or the south shore beaches.

Though the ice cream parlor dates back to 1985, the store offers a retro vibe that goes back

further with its red booths and white and black checkered floor. All the ice cream is made on premises, so whether you want a cone with one of the 60 available flavors—which includes cookie dough, vanilla fudge, peanut butter Oreo and key lime pie—or opt for a sundae covered in an array of toppings, expect a delightfully indulgent dairy overload.

standalone Hershey’s store on the island, it brings premium freshness to its classic offerings like mint chocolate chip, decadent sundaes, thick shakes and specialties like Coffeehouse Cookies & Cream, Butter Almond and even a Deep Dish Apple Pie ice cream.

Hershey’s Ice Cream & More

1512 Old Northern Blvd., Roslyn 516-801-2665 The folks from the Burger Heaven family take a unique approach to ice cream by allowing customers to make it themselves. With myriad ingredients to choose from, patrons choose

2890 Hempstead Tpke., Levittown 516-731-2663 It doesn’t get much more classically cool than Hershey’s Ice Cream & More in Levittown.

With a name synonymous with sweet treats, this shop is certainly a must-stop spot for anyone who screams for ice cream. The only

Frozen Cow Ices and Cream

300 Lido Blvd, Lido Beach 516-665-3997 Creative flavors meet incredible service at the Frozen Cow. This place sets the golden standard for ice cream with rotating menu options that include Ricotta and Fig, Horchata, Apple Pie and Lavender Honey. All the ice cream is homemade and if you can’t pick just one flavor, don’t worry: Frozen Cow employees are happy to let you sample as many flavors as you want.

35 Newtown Lane, East Hampton 631-329-4883 After a day soaking in the East Hampton sun, take a stop at this beloved ice cream parlor, which offers more than 40 flavors of ice cream and yogurt. While they play it relatively safe when it comes to flavors—the big black chalkboard typically lists offerings including mint chip, cookie dough, coffee and rocky road—every scoop is melt-in-your-mouth perfection. And if you’re feeling especially indulgent, grab one of Scoop du Jour’s freshly made donuts—the perfect bed to a pillow of creamy ice cream.

Pip’s Ice Cream Parlour

250 Woodcleft Ave., Ste 1, Freeport 516-868-7139 The Nautical Mile has much to offer diners in the way of seafood, but for those looking to cool off with a refreshing scoop, Pip’s is the place to go. Filled with old school charm,

Pip’s offers a wide variety of flavors, including chocolate moose tracks, red velvet and s’mores in fresh-baked cones or cups. And since summer is all about relaxing, Pip’s offers plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for guests to enjoy their treats in peace.

Krisch’s Restaurant & Ice Cream Parlour

11 Central Ave., Massapequa 516-797-3149 Massapequa residents have been reliving simpler times through ice cream since 1955, when the current incarnation of Krisch’s Restaurant & Ice Cream Parlour opened. Chocolate is made in-house and vanilla, the most basic of ice cream flavors, is anything but plain as Krisch’s uses Madagascar vanilla beans instead of squeeze-bottle extract. The menu boasts a vast array of creations, including dark chocolate strawberry, rainbow cookie, fluffernutter, burgundy cherry and much, much more.

Marshall’s Ice Cream Bar

4276 Merrick Rd., Massapequa 516-798-9723 If you want soft-serve, you have to go to Marshall’s. With a prime spot next to All American Burger, this ice cream stand (previously a Carvel) has scooped up the hearts of Long Islanders with its creamy, sweet soft serve in a variety of flavors. And though you can’t go wrong with the mint or pistachio soft serve, the classic vanilla cone topped with sprinkles screams summer.

Fifty Years Of Yes

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

T

his year marks half a century that Yes has been touring and recording music. Aside from a hiatus from 2004 to 2008, some lineup of the group has been in existence for the past five decades. Guitarist Steve Howe was not a founding member and first came aboard in 1970. While his initial stint with the group was for 11 years, he spent the 1980s as a cornerstone in a number of other groups including Asia and GTR before rejoining Yes two other times, with the most recent reunion coming in 1995 and lasting to the current day.

This year’s tour, Yes50: 50 Years of Yes, recognizes a major milestone in the group’s existence. Making things more interesting for fans is the fact that a rival faction, Yes featuring Jon that is rounded out by drummer Alan Anderson, Trevor Rabin and Rick White, keyboardist Geoff Downes, Wakeman, is also out on the road. vocalist Jon Davison and bassist/keyWhile he declined to comment about boardist Billy Sherwood. the two factions, Howe is enthusiastic “We’ve11:44 beenAM playing about delving into Yes’ deep canon 1-4 pg Anton News Robert Moses_Layout 1 6/25/18 Page‘Astral 1 Traveller’ and ‘Time and a Word’ over and being on the road with his group

the last nine years, because this lineup has basically been a development from what Chris [Squire], Alan [White] and I started in 2008 and pushed along through various changes. So basically from that period, we were able to draw from our experience,” he explained.

“It’s not just picking out songs and deciding to play them, which is what most bands do. In our show, instead of just moving around with production, basically every song has a different look and this has been a major step for us in production terms.

Some of it may get potentially easy for us and other bits made it very challenging for us. So it’s a nice mix.”

While Howe was very much influenced by the sounds of American rock and roll artists like his peers growing up in late 1950s England, it was country legend Chet Atkins who resonated the most for the then-teenage London native.

“There was a huge guitar boom. In 1957, I was about 10 and it was monumental. At the time I got influenced

by The Shadows, The Ventures and Duane Eddy, who I still love today,” he said. “But as soon as I heard Chet Atkins when I was 13 after buying a record called Teensville, because it had a guitar hanging on the front in the picture—that was it.”

Howe may not get mentioned in the roll call of influential guitarists that

20180713_XAL_LNW_PG00 - 1:3 July 9, 2018

emerged out of England in the late 1960s—Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck—but the reed-thin string-bender is no less impressive. In addition to Atkins, inspiration also came from Les Paul and a coterie of post-Charlie Christian guitarists—Tal Farlow, Kenny Burrell and Herb Ellis. Most interestingly was a love of country music that led to his embracing and incorporating pedal steel into what he was doing, starting with the 1972 Yes album Close To the Edge.

“Basically the steel has had an overly incredible influence on my thinking and playing. But what I don’t do is try to play what a steel player does on a guitar,” he said. “Now other people do that very well—Brad Paisley and some of the great players like Clarence White from the Byrds. I love The Byrds very much. So there’s a lot of influence on my music that comes from a variety of places. But no smaller place than the huge place of country music—Chet Atkins and Les Paul.”

While the 1980s found Howe stretching out in a more commercial direction with Asia and GTR, Yes was and continued to remain his creative mothership. And despite his deep ties to the group he’s most associated with, the septuagenarian Rock and Roll Hall of Famer felt his musical hiatus was a necessary and rewarding decision that he made.

“It’s like [former Yes drummer] Bill Bruford said, ‘How can you keep playing the same songs with the same people?,’” Howe said. “I do think you do need variety in your career to make it worthwhile and coming back to Yes after I’ve done other things has always been great fun. It’s not been like a monotony, where I’ve always been in Yes for 50 years. That’s not been the case at all and I’m really glad. I think it’s musically much more helpful and exciting to have moved away and come back and find out how the ball continues to keep rolling.”

Yes will be appearing with #Yes50: 50 Years of Yes on July 18 at NYCB Theatre @ Westbury, 960 Brush Hollow Rd., Westbury. Visit www. livenation.com or call 877-598-8497 for more information. Visit www. longislandweekly.com to read a fuller version of this story.

Steve Howe’s Favorite Guitarists

merging from a frenetic mid-1960s London music scene, Steve Howe cut his teeth playing in a number of psychedelic rock bands including the Syndicats, Tomorrow and Bodast before replacing Tony Banks in Yes in 1970. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for his work in Yes, the ridiculously talented musician shared some of his favorite string-benders.

Chet Atkins (June 20, 1924 to June 30, 2001)

“He changed my life completely. Andres Segovia, Django Reinhardt—I could go on for 20 names. But the single guy that kind of had it all was Chet and Chet Atkins for me is my top guitarist and biggest hero if you like.

But not only because of the way he played, which was phenomenal with the country picking, but he also set something in my mind where you could have a room in your house and record.

You could be a producer for a label and you could help people Chet Atkins (Photo courtesy in their careers, like he did with of Gretsch Guitar The Everly Brothers. And he News) was there with Elvis, when Elvis started. So Chet had a pattern of a history and I don’t think many people could do it again. But I’ve certainly done a lot of different things and that’s been enjoyable too. I think that’s why Chet did it.”

Wes Montgomery (March 6, 1923 to June 15, 1968)

“Wes Montgomery was a jazz guitarist who reinvented [that style of playing]. The fluency, beautiful sound and textural style of Wes [was splendid], particularly when he was doing octaves, but not exclusively. He was a wonderful, single-line player. I think the second most influential guitarist I’ve experienced is Wes. But not least of all because I saw him live, at Ronnie Scott’s, when I was 16 years old. I already had one of his albums, the one called The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery and a friend of mine said he was delivering an amp to Wes Montgomery and he asked if I wanted to go to Ronnie’s. I said yeah. I think I was underage, but I looked older, so I was lucky. So I sat in about the third row back and this was literally mesmerizing stuff. I’ve got a wonderful DVD where

there are clips of him playing on television and one of them starts in Holland actually. And he just walked into a room with three guys he never met and said, ‘Let’s play.’ That’s how great this guy was.

He could lead and was brilliant.”

Chuck Berry (October 18, 1926 to March 18, 2017)

“Rock guitar development started with Chuck Berry, for sure. Chuck was one of those influential guitarists. So while Chuck Berry on a lot of levels, he doesn’t (Photo courtesy fit with Chet and Wes, I think of Universal Attractions) I’ve got to bring him into play because he was followed on by your Frank Zappa, your Steve Morse and all the great guitarists. I think all of the great rock guitarists that I love, and there were many of them, basically started with Chuck.”

rom her outstanding body of work, her unwavering grace and exuding emotion every time her pointe shoe touches the stage, Misty Copeland epitomizes everything classical about the art of ballet, and more.

“Each day, I can’t help but feel so unbelievably grateful and honored to carry this title,” said Copeland of being a principal dancer for one of the most renowned ballet company’s in the world. “It’s surreal and something that probably won’t sink in fully until I’m done dancing.”

The 34-year-old, who was born in Kansas City, but raised in Los Angeles, understands that she is in an incredibly unique position to be in a company like the prestigious American Ballet Theatre (ABT), of which she says is the “first company

in ballet history to present such an array of different talent and unify dancers from all over the world.” And as the first African American woman to be promoted to principal dancer in ABT’s 75-year history, she is more than humbled to thank others for helping her get there.

“I feel like I am a vessel for all of the black dancers who have paved the way for me to get here,” she said of the once in a lifetime experience. “It’s impossible to quantify one’s talents in such a subjective art form. With that said, I know that I am here because of my work ethic, perseverance and unique interpretation of ballet.”

That dogged determination has earned Copeland lead roles in Swan Lake, Romeo and Juliet and The Firebird as well as Don Quixote and Giselle, of which she recently wrapped up performances for. Copeland has been dancing professionally for 16 years and has graced the stage in

Save Electricity This Summer

BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Higher temperatures can lead to more energy usage and higher electric bills. PSEG customers can save energy and money this summer by following a few simple tips.

• Put air conditioners on timers.

• Set air conditioners at 78 degrees.

• Use fans to circulate cool air, which helps cut air conditioner use.

• Set refrigerators and freezers at most efficient temperatures (35 to 38 degrees F for refrigerators and 0 degrees F for freezers).

• Run major appliances such as clothes and dishwashers in the morning or late evening to avoid the peak demand hours of 2 to 8 p.m.

• Seal holes and cracks around doors and windows; eliminate air leaks around window air conditioners with foam insulation or

weather-stripping.

• Close blinds, shades and draperies facing the sun to keep out the sun’s heat and help fans and air conditioners cool more efficiently.

• Turn off power sources. TVs, computers and other electronic devices draw power when they are in standby mode or turned off, but still plugged in. Plug electronics into power strips and turn off the power switch when

• Use timers and motion detectors on indoor and outdoor lighting.

• Replace old appliances with new energy efficient Energy Star appliances.

• If possible, install whole-house fans that bring in cooler night air that can pre-cool a house and reduce energy use in the daytime if heat is kept out by closing windows and shades.

A Salty, But Sweet Summer Spice

BY JENNIFER FAUCI

JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Wine in your glass, wine in your food, and now, wine infused spices to accompany your meal. What will they think of next?

Jacobsen Salt Co. and Woodbridge

by Robert Mondavi have partnered up with a limited edition salt set. The pair of Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon-infused salts are perfect for summer grilling and even baking.

Combining Jacobsen Salt Co.’s

artisanal salts, harvested from the pristine waters off the Oregon Coast with California staple’s Woodbridge

by Robert Mondavi Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, the unique salt duo delivers the coastal flavors of summer right to your table.

Celebrity Chef Alex Guarnaschelli gets the grilling season going with mouthwatering summertime recipes especially created to pair with the wine infused salt duo. Recipes include Crab Macaroni & Cheese, Mexican Street Corn Salad and a Woodbridge

Watermelon Chardonnay cocktail, all of which use the new wine infused salts.

“This is one of those cocktails that stuns with the wine-laced watermelon ice cubes. The acidity the Woodbridge

by Robert Mondavi Chardonnay gives the sweet watermelon is delicious,” said Guarnaschelli. “This recipe can be made in advance, and can be doubled or tripled for a giant pitcher.

A note about the wine salt: if your salt is slightly chunky, don’t be afraid to lightly crush it to make it finer. You can also use the watermelon ice cubes and

salted rims for a margarita.”

The Jacobsen Salt Co. and Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi wine infused salt set is currently available at www.jacobsensalt.com for $18. Use the code “WOODBRIDGE” for 35 percent off your purchase.

American Red Cross Urges Hurricane Preparedness The American Red Cross on Long Island joined officials from Nassau County, Suffolk County, National Grid and PSEG Long Island to discuss hurricane readiness on Long Island and the importance of being prepared for the unexpected.

The 2018 hurricane season comes off the heels of a record-breaking 2017 that saw the American Red Cross mobilize historic relief efforts following multiple hurricanes (including Maria, Harvey, Nate and Irma). This year’s hurricane season is predicted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to be “near- or above-normal.” This means, according to the agency, the likelihood of ten to 16 named storms, including five to nine hurricanes. Hurricane season runs through the end of November.

Locally, with the devastating legacy of Sandy still fresh in people’s minds, Long Islanders know all too well the impact of these storms.

They can bring heavy rains that cause major flooding; destructive winds that down power lines,

Aftermath of Sandy in Westbury. uproot trees and dam-age homes; and storm surges that travel several miles inland destroying everything in its path.

The Red Cross urges everyone to get better prepared for this hurricane season by creating an emergency preparedness kit with food and water and other basic

have to evacuate. Coordinate with your child’s school, your work and community’s emergency plans.

As always, be informed about what disasters or emergencies may occur where you live, work, play and pray, and how to respond as safely as possible. Find out how local officials will contact you during a disaster and how you will get important information.

The Red Cross also reminds people to download their free mobile preparedness resource, their Emergency App, a one-download tool that puts vital safety and preparedness information at your fingertips. To download the app, search “Red Cross” in your app store. Additionally, the Red Cross wants more volunteers trained and ready to respond to a storm here on Long Island or, if the need arises, large disasters outside their region.

Protecting Your Skin From The Heat S

ummer is the season where heat returns in full force, leaving your skin to bake in the sun. And while getting a nice tan isn’t bad for you, how you treat your skin in the warm climate is crucial in avoiding not just skin cancer, but also photoaging, which is premature aging of the skin.

“All the changes that people associated with aging comes about as a result of sun damage,” said Dr. Michael Danneberg, chair of dermatology at Huntington Hospital. “This is the time of year where you really want to be diligent about trying to avoid those long term ramifications.”

The chairman, who has been practicing dermatology for around 25 years, has tips on how people can keep their skin protected in the hot weather.

Tip no. 1: Sunscreen The most obvious but most important tip Danneberg suggests is remembering to apply sunscreen whenever you are out in the sun to protect against the rays of the sunlight. “[People] should be using sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30,” said Danneberg. “It should also be a sunscreen that is broad spectrum, covering UVA and UVB.” Some people may need oil-free sunscreen for certain skin conditions, such as bad acne or rosacea. In terms of what brands you should consider buying, Danneberg suggests trying multiple and finding the one you think fits you best. “The best sunscreen is one that feels good on you,” said Danneberg.

“If you don’t like the way it feels, you probably won’t want to use it.”

Tip no. 2: Cover Yourself Up Another way to protect your skin from the sun is shielding yourself using what you wear and where you stand.

Danneberg says simply wearing a shirt would help protect your body against the rays of the sun. If you

in removing heat from your body,” he said. “It doesn’t have to be dripping, just moist. Also, letting the car air out a little bit before getting inside of it.

Open windows on both sides because the cars can be baking when you get into it.” Finding shade is an effective way to find cool air that may prevent sweating. Those at risk for heat stroke should also avoid direct sunlight. are going to the beach, one of the best things to bring with you is an umbrella to keep you in the shade while still enjoying the atmosphere.

And when it comes to hats you wear in the summer, make sure you choose one that will completely protect you from the sun. “A wide-rimmed hat, not a golf or baseball hat, that has a three-and-a-half inch rim that goes 360 degrees works,” he said.

Tip no. 3: Keeping Cool While sweating during the summer isn’t bad for you, it may cause some irritation and rashes on the skin. In order to prevent that, Danneberg suggests a few easy ways to keep yourself at a cool temperature. “A cold, moist cloth around the neck is very effective

Tip no. 4: Always Remove Cosmetics The summer is the time to go out at night and spend time with people.

In most cases, people tend to put on beauty products in order to look their best and feel comfortable. While applying these won’t harm your skin, keeping them on for unnecessary periods of time will. “Just be diligent that when you come home, it’s important in this kind of heat to remove any irritating makeups or lotions from the skin and clean well with a mild cleanser.” While it important to use moisturizer, Danneberg said it isn’t as important during the summer as it is during the winter as natural oils keep the skin healthy.

Ricky Byrd: Recovery Troubadour

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

ccording to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), more than 64,000 Americans died from drug overdoses in 2016, including illicit drugs and prescription opioids—nearly double in a decade. It’s a statistic that really doesn’t surprise Ricky Byrd, himself a recovering addict who has been clean for three-plus decades. As a former member of Joan Jett’s Blackhearts, Byrd lived the life of rock and roll excess and in the process, has been striving to help people stay clean through his nonprofit Clean Getaway organization, which brings awareness, prevention and addiction resources to those suffering from drug and

alcohol dependence through the healing power of music. It’s primarily accomplished through concert events, music outreach sessions and early education and prevention programs.

The latest step the Bronx native took was to release last year’s Clean Getaway, a dozen songs whose lyrics were inspired by some of the stories Byrd heard at recovery music groups he’s led at various treatment and detox facilities around the country.

“We have this saying in recovery that you’re given the gift of desperation, meaning that’s when you start to get that [message of] surrender in your brain. It’s been a long time for me, man. I get the gift of desperation when I go listen to other people that

Ice Ice Baby

Y

ou don’t need to travel far to find a Ralph’s Famous Italian Ices location. A staple of any Long Island summer, the cold treats at Ralph’s are the perfect way to cool down at the end of the day.

As most great things do, Long Island’s most classic summer tradition started with a dream.

Ralph Silvestro came from Italy to the United States in search of a better life. After struggling to find an occupation that would suit him, he finally made his living making homemade lemon and orange ices and, along with ice cream, began selling it on a truck in 1928.

Using only fresh fruit and the best ingredients he could get his hands on, the Italian entrepreneur made his products in a garage, loaded them onto his truck and drove through the streets delighting neighborhood folks of all ages.

He continued operating out of his garage and truck until 1949 when he opened his own storefront in the Port Richmond section of Staten Island. Now able to make his famous cold desserts from the back of his own store and sell them in the front, Silvestro was

able to grow his namesake brand and serve more people than ever before.

Around 1965, Silvestro’s two daughters, Lucile and Elise, took over—effectively turning Ralph’s into a full-fledged family-owned operation with Silvestro’s five grandsons getting involved as well.

Two decades after Silvestro’s daughters took the helm, the brand evolved into a small wholesale business, and by 1989, three of the grandsons, Larry, John and Michael, worked to expand the company and took over for Lucile and Elise in 1996.

What started for the grandson trio as selling to local pizza shops expanded into distributing to any customer “interested in serving a product that was made with only the finest and freshest ingredients,” explained Larry. By 2001, the wholesale operation became a franchise with locations spread across

Water Ices The product that started it all. The water ices at Ralph’s are pure, melt-in-yourmouth, flavorful goodness.

Try the lemon and you’ll understand why Silvestro’s original cold treat is so famous. For a throwback to your childhood, try the rainbow—that classic blend of red, white and blue you know so well.

Get a taste of the blue Hawaii if you’re in the mood for a tropical escape; it’s subtly tangy and oh so delicious. A classic summer food, the watermelon has pinpointed flavor that makes it truly like eating an actual watermelon. Some flavors, like peach and the sour cherry (watch out—this really is sour) even have real fruit chunks mixed in for a more textured take on an otherwise relatively smooth ice formula.

4C | OUTDOOR LIVING • JULY 11 - JULY 17, 2018

New Jersey, the five boroughs and, of course, Long Island.

“I believe the ingredients that we use make our product stand alone in our category, and the fact that our high regard for using quality products makes our product so desirable,” said Larry, who, while enjoys sampling Ralph’s abundance of flavors across their wide selection of product types, still opts to go for a scoop of classic vanilla ice cream. “To carry on [my grandfather’s] tradition into a third generation, after his two daughters operated the store, is truly an honor.”

Although new flavors and new items are constantly being introduced, Silvestro’s classic lemon and orange ices are still available with

Ralph’s ices, like this watermelon water ice, are incredibly true to flavor.

their original, unchanged recipes.

During your next trip to Ralph’s, consider trying something new.

Creme Ices Unlike the water ices, which are your classic, slightly rough icy treats, the creme ices have an interesting texture that’ll have you coming back for more. Imagine mixing a water ice and soft-serve. It sounds like a strange combination, but it comes together quite nicely to create a thin, ice-like texture that has the slight creaminess of a soft-serve. Go for the vanilla, it’s a delicious classic that’s sure to please, but watch out for the seemingly endless list of adventurous flavors the creme ices come in, including cannoli, apple crumb, jelly ring, Linzer tart and strawberry cheesecake.

After almost a century of business, the dessert brand has grown to create more than 100 flavors across nearly a dozen different product types—no doubt including something sure to please your taste buds.

Sundaes The sundaes at Ralph’s are to die for. Piled high with whipped cream, each sundae, like the chocolate chip cookie, espresso bean and marshmallow crunch sundaes, have toppings on toppings and, despite the small looking cup they come in, include enough product to fill you up like it was a full-on meal. For the chocolate lover, the hot fudge brownie sundae is worth waiting the few minutes it takes to make. Vanilla soft-serve is sandwiched between layers and layers of real brownie, chocolate chips and gooey hot fudge.

Picture-Perfect Patios

Safavieh’s outdoor furniture makes summer entertaining a breeze

BY COLLEEN MARTIN

EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

W

ith summer well underway, you may be itching to spend more time outdoors. You don’t have to travel far to enjoy the beautiful weather—just head to your backyard. Patio sets, like the ones at Safavieh, are on sale for all of your outdoor furniture needs.

This past May, Safavieh opened its first showroom featuring outdoor furniture, area rugs, lighting and accent pieces. It recognizes that the current demand is for section, sofas, day beds and outdoor living pieces. In addition to the larger staple pieces, Safavieh offers cantilever umbrellas, outdoor lighting, outdoor kitchens and barbecues, as well as fire pits and convertible fire pit tables.

The company uses the best materials for outdoor use, including stainless steel, cast aluminum and all-weather woven wicker,

a representative said. All of the materials are organic, recycled and made in the United States. Also taking into account the strain that

being outdoors puts on furniture sets, Safavieh carries “Sumbrella” products that are fade resistant even in the sun, as well as indestructible

cushions and furniture covers.

While some outdoor furniture lines might sacrifice aesthetic for function, this group does not.

“Safavieh is in the design business so we know what is fashionable,” said a Safavieh representative.

“Plus we offer free exterior design service and immediate delivery.”

The company offers the tristate’s “largest selection of stylish high end unique furniture” in its showroom, as well as thousands of outdoor rugs. Over the past 30 years, the company has expanded dramatically from its “artisan family business” roots, according to its website. Its mission states that “For four generations, the family behind the Safavieh brand has dedicated its talents and its resources to providing uncompromising quality.”

If your patio is in the market for a makeover, head to Safavieh to check out the hottest designs of the summer season.

Sweet Summer Lobster Lovin’

BY JENNIFER FAUCI

JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

W

hat better way to kick off summer than with some fresh caught lobster? Celebrity chefs Anne Burrell and Geoffrey Zakarian each offer delicious recipes for this summer staple.

Burrell serves up her Girl Chef’s Grilled Lobster Recipe, which is perfect for a picnic. The chef created this recipe with the idea of not getting dirty. This lobster recipe includes claws that are cracked and the body is split in half and stuffed with shrimp, corn and cherry tomatoes.

Zakarian shares his recipe for a delicious lobster roll, which is served at his restaurant, Point Royal at The Diplomat Beach Resort. The GZ Butter Poached Lobster Roll is uniquely served with a spicy mustard sauce, which includes ingredients such as mustard powder, lemon juice, Dijon mustard as well as mayonnaise. When preparing the dish, the fresh lobster is first warmed in butter to enhance the flavor.

Add these must-try recipes to your summer menu this season. Your guests will thank you for it.

Spicy Mustard Mayonnaise 1 Tbsp Coleman’s mustard powder 2 Tbsp water 1 Tbsp lemon juice ¼ cup dijon mustard ½ cup Hellman’s mayonnaise Kosher salt Fresh cracked pepper 1. Whisk all ingredients together and season with salt and pepper. Yields 1 cup

Butter Poached Lobster Roll

By Geoffrey Zakarian Yields 2 portions 2 each 1 ½ lb. lobsters, parcooked boiled until they turn red, then meat removed intact 2 Tbsp water 2 lb. butter, diced, cold 2 Tbsp lemon juice 2 each brioche hot dog rolls, edges and ends squared off ½ cup spicy mustard mayonnaise (recipe follows) 1 head bibb lettuce, outer leaves removed 2 Tbsp chives, shaved 4 each lemon wedges 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 tsp lemon juice Kosher salt Fresh cracked pepper 1. Clean the lobsters by removing the tail meat, knuckle meat, and claw meat in tact.

Split the tail down the center and clean the waste track.

2. Heat the water over medium heat in a medium sauce pan. Whisk in the butter a little at a time, being careful to make sure it forms a creamy emulsion. Rotate the pan off and on the heat, melting the

butter until it is all incorporated.

Season with kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper. Keep warm but not simmering. The butter must stay emulsified.

3. Toast the hot dog buns on all sides in a pan with a small amount of butter. Warm the lobster through in the butter bath until fully cooked and warmed through. Place the in a small bowl and dress with a small amount of olive oil and lemon juice. In the bun put the lobster, and drizzle with the spicy mayonnaise. Finish with chives.

4. Serve with a lemon wedge.

Lobster roll should be warm.

Girl Chef’s Grilled Lobster

By Anne Burrell Serves 4 ½ pound 16-20 count shrimp 2 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped Extra virgin olive oil Kosher salt Two 1¼- to 1½-pound lobsters 1 lemon, cut in half 4 ears of corn 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved ½ small red onion, thinly sliced 6 Tbsp red wine vinegar 5 fresh basil leaves, chiffonade

1. In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with the garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and a generous sprinkle of salt.

Let the shrimp sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

2. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Squeeze both halves of the lemon into the water and drop in the lemon halves.

Plunge the lobsters into the water, cover, and cook for 4 minutes.

Carefully remove the lobsters from the water and let them cool. The lobsters will not be cooked through at this point 3. Preheat a grill to medium.

Cover half the grill with 2 layers of aluminum foil and place the shrimp in a single layer on the foil (this will prevent the shrimp from falling through the grates). Grill the shrimp on both sides, until pink and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp and transfer to a large bowl.

4. While the shrimp are cooking, use the other half of the grill to cook the corn until charred on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove the corn and let cool. Cut the corn off the cob and add it to the bowl with the shrimp. Holding the corn vertically on your cutting board, run your knife up the cobs to get the lovely little remnants of the corn kernels and add these to the bowl as well.

5. Toss the cherry tomatoes and onions with the shrimp and corn.

Add the vinegar and a few drops of olive oil. Stir to combine and season with salt. Taste and reseason if needed. Reserve.

6. Twist the claws off the lobsters and set aside. Using a large, very sharp knife, cut the lobsters in half lengthwise. Remove the contents of the cavity and discard. Save the tomalley (the green stuff) and the coral (the red stuff), for another purpose if desired.

7. Place the lobsters cut side down on the grill along with the claws. Grill the lobster for 10 minutes and the claws for 15 minutes, being sure to turn the claws halfway through cooking.

10. Transfer the lobsters to serving plates—2 halves, cut side up, and 2 claws per plate.

8. To serve, add the basil to the shrimp corn mixture and spoon it into the cavity of each lobster

are just coming into the rooms—community support groups or at these treatment facilities. They are the ones that gave me the honesty to write the lyrics.

They brought up stuff that I hadn’t thought about in a while,” he explained. “I look at this as a self-help book with a rock and roll backbeat. I tell people that if you’re struggling, this is a great album for you. If you’re in recovery, it’s a great way to look at yourself and see how far you’ve come. If you’re just a rock and roll fan, it’s just a cool rock and roll record. I’m really proud because it seems like its helping.

It’s one tool. We’re in the middle of the worst opioid epidemic in American history and I’m just trying to be a part of the solution. We know music heals and my little bit is to do this.”

With the exception of a cover of Paul Revere and The Raiders’ “Kicks” that opens the album, Byrd wrote 11 originals with some cowriting help from longtime friends Richie Supa and Mark Hudson, both of whom have worked with the likes of Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, Ringo Starr and Cher. The sound draws from Byrd’s longtime musical influences ranging from the blues of “Clean Getaway” and the George Harrison-flavored jangle of “Better Days” to the Faces-flavored shuffle “Paranoid” and the Chuck Berry-flavored vibe of “I Prefer Wakin’ Up... To Comin’ To.” Lyrically, Byrd doesn’t pull any punches, singing about backsliding and being far from the man he once was (“High Wire”), hitting rock bottom

(“Addicts Prayer”) and how “...surrender is the only way to win.” (“Broken Is a Place”). The latter is a message Byrd is well familiar with, having finally gotten sober on Sept. 25, 1987.

“From 30 to 31 was the worst year of my life for that, because that was when I finally took a hard look and saw that I couldn’t stop. I have my diary from that year and I would write that I wasn’t going to get high on that day and then I’d say I was starting that night. It went on all year until I surrendered and hit it,” he said. “I was always negotiating with myself. I was on an out-of-control train going off the tracks. By the time 1987 rolled around, I was just done. I couldn’t do it another day, so I reached out and asked for help.”

Byrd’s commitment to helping found him recently becoming a certified recovery coach and a drug and alcohol counselor in training after attending classes for four days a week for four months.

In conversation, his combination of real-world experiences and the clinical knowledge he’s gleaned has Byrd explaining the importance of parents cleaning out their medicine cabinets of unused pain meds, reducing the stigma attached to addiction and advocating for yourself at the doctor’s office, particularly given how the current opioid crisis has its roots in over-prescribed pain medication. Along with giving copies of Clean Getaway at treatment facilities where he’s leading musical recovery groups, Byrd is hoping to start up a town hall series where panels made up of local law enforcement officials, clinical experts and people from the music business or sports world

who are in recovery can talk about prevention and various recovery options.

“The message that I’ve been getting from people who have left treatment and are still chugging along in recovery is that the music has really helped with their sobriety and they listen to this record. It’s become the soundtrack to their recovery,” Byrd explained. “Getting back to the beginning, the fact that I’ve been given this gift of sobriety for the last 30 years after an 18-year run of insanity—my responsibility is to turn around and find people that are caught in that dark hallway between denial and surrender. When they reach out to me from recovery, it’s my responsibility to lead them to the water, so to speak. So all of those things add up to what I’m doing now.”

Nutrition For Glowing, Healthy Skin

“Y

ou are what you eat. So don’t be fast, cheap, easy or fake.”—Unknown The skin is the largest organ in the human body, and acts as a barrier to protect your other organs from toxins and the environment. Your skin is the best indicator that you are what you eat! Beauty and youthfulness truly come from inner health, and what you eat and drink everyday impacts the health of your skin. If you consistently eat foods high in sugar, sodium, saturated fat and toxins, you can’t expect your skin to stay healthy and beautiful.

Since your skin is directly connected to your bloodstream, it is often the first place that a nutrient deficiency can be seen. Specifically, certain B vitamin deficiencies can affect the texture and pigmentation of the skin causing scaly, dry, irritated skin.

Nourishing foods and proper hydration help your body stay healthy from the inside out.

CHOOSING HEALTH Stefani Pappas

As we age, skin becomes thinner and drier. This in turn can make the skin more susceptible to damage, wrinkles and lines. Certain environmental factors such as smoking and sun exposure can accelerate the development of wrinkles. However, antioxidants can help slow or prevent skin damage caused by unstable molecules called free radicals. Vitamins that act as antioxidants include vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E and the mineral selenium.

Antioxidant-rich foods include blueberries, strawberries, carrots, tomatoes, kale, spinach and green tea.

Try to choose a wide variety of colorful vegetables for plentiful antioxidant benefits.

Research shows that fruit and vegetables consumption may represent the most healthy and safe method to attain youthful appearing skin.

In addition to antioxidants, healthy fats can play a role in skin health. Specifically, omega-3 fatty acids can help keep our skin thick, moisturized and strong. A deficiency in omega-3 fats can often times manifest as dry skin.

Try incorporating more fatty fish such as salmon or tuna into your diet. Fatty fish are also a source of vitamin E, which is an important antioxidant for the skin and can protect against damage from free radicals and inflammation. Walnuts are a vegan source of omega-3 fatty acids, as well as zinc, vitamin E and vitamin C. Although good nutrition plays an important role in skin health, drinking enough water is equally crucial.

Cells are made up of water; without water, our organs would not function properly or optimally. If your body is not being adequate hydrated, it will lead to dry, tight and flaky skin. Water is vital to keeping your skin moist and also helping take in nutrients, while getting rid of toxins.

Don’t forget that your body is constantly losing water through breathing, urine and sweat! Aim for at least

8 glasses of water daily to help rid the body of skin and toxins.

Chronic Kidney Disease: Are You At Risk?

Cardiovascular Disease And Kidney Disease

BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

I

EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

t’s estimated that kidney disease affects more than 30 million Americans. Also called renal disease, kidney disease is a general term for damage that decreases the function of the kidney.

Human kidneys filter approximately 120 to 150 quarts of blood every day to produce about one to two quarts of urine. Healthy kidneys not only remove waste and water, they also help to: • Control blood pressure • Keep bones healthy • Make red blood cells • Balance minerals in your blood, like sodium, phosphorus and potassium

Symptoms of Kidney Disease The kidneys are remarkable in their ability to compensate for problems with their function. This explains why chronic kidney disease may progress without symptoms for an extended period of time until only very minimal kidney function is left. Signs and symptoms of kidney disease include: • Need to urinate, particularly at night • Fluid retention • High blood pressure • Fatigue and weakness • Decreased appetite • Nausea and vomiting • Itching, easy bruising and pale skin from anemia • Headaches

Researchers are currently studying the complex link between kidney disease and cardiovascular disease. There is conclusive evidence that having kidney disease can significantly increase the chances of developing cardiovascular disease. Likewise, cardiovascular disease can increase the risk for kidney disease. Interestingly, the two conditions share many risk factors, including diabetes and hypertension.

• Numbness in the feet and hands • Chest pain from inflammation around the heart • Decreased sexual interest

The Kidney-Heart Connection The heart and kidneys work together in a synergistic way. The heart pumps blood with oxygen throughout the body, including the kidneys. The kidneys clean the blood, removing waste and excess water. If the kidneys are not functioning properly, the blood can accumulate too much waste and water. And, when the heart does not pump efficiently, the kidneys don’t have the oxygen filled blood they need to perform their many functions. With poorly functioning kidneys, the heart must work harder.

In other words, a healthy cardiovascular system is necessary for your kidneys to do their job.

Keeping Heart And Kidneys Healthy There are many things that all of us can do to maintain kidney and heart health.

• Stay physically active • Maintain a healthy weight • Reduce intake of fat and sodium • Keep blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol under control • Reduce stress • Don’t smoke “It’s also important to know that kidney disease often remains silent until it is advanced,” said Dr. Ilene Miller, nephrologist and internist with Northwell Health.

Learn more about kidney disease. At Katz Institute for Women’s Health. Visit the website at northwell.edu/KIWH or call the Katz Institute for Women’s Health Resource Center at 855-850-5494 to speak to a women’s health specialist.

Summer Tips For A Healthy Heart precautions when spending time by the water and when exercising in the heat.

Practice these nine tips for a heart-healthy summer.

Learn Hands-Only CPR

and after working out to maintain salt-water balance.

Avoid caffeine and alcoholic beverages.

Exercise smarter, not harder

Days by the pool and ocean can be fun, but always be prepared for the unthinkable.

Hands-Only CPR has only two steps: If you see a teen or adult suddenly collapse, 1. Call 9-1-1, and 2. Press hard and fast in the center of the chest. Hands-Only CPR can be just as effective as conventional CPR. View a short video by visiting www. heart.org.

Plan your workout for the cooler parts of the day— either early morning or early evening when the sun’s radiation is at its least. If you must exercise during the hottest part of the day or in high humidity, decrease exercise intensity and duration.

And remember, you can get a great workout indoors by going to a gym or walking at the mall.

Stay hydrated

I’m 45 years old and want to train to run my first half marathon, but I don’t know where to start. What do you recommend?

Dr. Zwibel: Beginning an exercise or training program can seem overwhelming, but the benefits are worth it.

Regular exercise can help you lose weight, improve your brain health and memory, and even give you more energy.

As a master’s athlete (an athlete over 35 years old), it is important

to have a screening evaluation to assess your overall health and make sure that it is safe to exercise. Then, tests for VO2 max, resting metabolic rate, and a body composition analysis are used to guide your target heartrate, nutritional plan, and monitor your muscle gains.

At the NYIT Center for Sports Medicine, we are taking the lead in preventing injuries and helping people realize their athletic goals.

Break Free from Neuropathy with a New Supportive Care Cream A patented relief cream stands to help millions of Americans crippled from the side effects of neuropathy by increasing sensation and blood flow wherever it’s applied AHP − A recent breakthrough stands to help millions of Americans plagued by burning, tingling and numb legs and feet.

But this time it comes in the form of a cream, not a pill, suggesting the medical community may have been going about the problem all wrong.

The breakthrough, called Diabasens, is a new relief cream developed for managing the relentless discomfort caused by neuropathy.

When applied directly to the legs and feet, it causes arteries and blood vessels to expand, increasing the flow of warm, nutrient rich blood to damaged tissue.

However, what’s most remarkable about the cream...and what makes it so brilliant...is that it contains one of the only natural substances known to activate a special sensory pathway right below the surface of the skin.

This pathway is called TRAP1 and it controls the sensitivity of nerves. In laymen terms, it determines whether you feel pins and needles or soothing relief.

Studies show that symptoms of neuropathy arise when the nerves in your legs deteriorate and blood flow is lost to the areas which surround them.

As the nerves begins to die, sensation is lost. This lack of sensation is what causes the feelings of burning, tingling and numbness.

This is why the makers of Diabasens say their cream has performed so well in a recent clinical use survey trial. It increases sensation and blood flow where ever its applied.

No Pills, No Prescriptions, No Agony Until now, many doctors have failed to consider a topical cream as an effective way to manage neuropathy. Diabasens is proving it may be the only way going forward.

“Most of today’s treatment methods have focused on minimizing discomfort instead of attacking its underlining cause. That’s why millions of adults are still in excruciating pain every single day, and are constantly dealing with side effects” explains Dr. Esber, the creator of Diabasens.

“Diabasens is different. Since the most commonly reported symptoms − burning, tingling and numb legs and feet − are caused by lack of sensation of the nerves, we’ve designed the formula increase their sensitivity.

And since these nerves are located right below the skin, we’ve chosen to formulate it as a cream. This allows for the ingredients to get to them faster and without any drug like side effects” he adds.

Study Finds Restoring Sensation the Key To Effective, Long Lasting Relief With the conclusion of their latest human clinical use survey trial, Dr. Esber and his team are now offering Diabasens nationwide. And regardless of the market, its sales are exploding.

Men and women from all over the country are eager to get their hands on the new cream and, according to the results initial users reported, they should be.

In the trial above, as compared to baseline, participants taking Diabasens saw a staggering 51% increase sensitivity in just one week. This resulted in significant relief from burning, tingling and nubmness throughout their legs.

Many participants taking Diabasens described feeling much more balanced and comfortable throughout the day. They also noticed that after applying, there was a pleasant warming sensation that was remarkably soothing.

Diabasens Users Demand More Many of Diabasens users say their legs have never felt better. For the first time in years, they are able to walk free from the symptoms which have made life hard.

“I have been using the cream now for about ten days.

It has given me such relief.

I’ve had very bad foot pain from injuries and overuse of my feet for years which have contributed to severe itching/tingling and pain for some time. (My father also suffered from this pain and itching. I wish I would have had this for him.)

The first time I used the cream, I felt an almost immediate relief from this.

I now use it at least twice a day: once in the morning before work and once at night before I sleep.

I am so delighted with this. It has helped my walking, also. It has helped generate feeling again in my feet,” raves Marsha A. from Texas

Diabasens is shown to provide relief from: • Burning • Swelling • Tingling • Heaviness • Numbness • Cold extremities Targets Nerve Damage Right Below the Skins Surface Diabasens is a topical cream that is to be applied to your legs and feet twice a day for the first two weeks then once a day after. It does not require a prescription.

Topical Creams Offer Sufferers a Safer, More Effective Avenue of Relief: Diabasens increases sensation and blood flow wherever its applied. It’s now being used to relieve painful legs and feet.

The active ingredient is a compound known as cinnamaldehyde.

Studies show that neuropathy and nerve pain is caused when the peripheral nerves breakdown and blood is unable to circulate into your legs and feet.

As these nerves deteriorate, sensation is lost. This is why you may not feel hot or cold and your legs and feet may burn, tingle and go numb.

Additionally, without proper blood flow, tissues and cells in these areas begin to die, causing unbearable pain.

The cinnamaldehyde in Diabasens is one of the only compounds in existence that can activate TRPA1, a special sensory pathway that runs through your entire body.

According to research, activating this pathway (which can only be done with a cream) increases the sensitivity of nerves, relieving feelings of tingling and numbness in your legs and feet.

Supporting ingredients boost blood flow, supplying the nerves with the nutrients they need for increased sensation.

Amazing Relief Exactly Where You Need It With daily use, Diabasens users report remarkable improvements in their quality of life without of the negative side effects or interactions associated with prescription drugs.

Readers can now enjoy an entirely new level of comfort that’s both safe and affordable. It is also extremely effective, especially if nothing else has worked.

Blood Center Declares Donation Emergency

’’

–Andrea Cefarelli

a NYBC donor center or convenient mobile blood drive, especially donors with O negative and B negative blood types. O negative blood donors are considered “universal,” and their blood type is needed most readily in trauma situations and emergency rooms across the country. B negative is a particularly rare blood type.

Companies, organizations, and community groups are also encouraged to host a blood drive this summer to help rebuild the blood supply, especially during the months of July and August.

In just 60 minutes, you can donate

one pint of blood and save a life.

About one in seven hospital admissions requires a blood transfusion, and with a limited shelf life, supplies must be continually replenished.

Those in need include: cancer patients, accident, burn, or trauma victims, newborn babies and their mothers, transplant recipients, surgery patients, chronically transfused patients suffering from sickle cell disease or thalassemia and many more.

There are many ways to help bring awareness to the need for blood,

simply by donating blood or platelets at a donor center or at a mobile blood drive. You can also host a blood drive in your community or at your organization and educate others in your family, community and organization about blood donations. Promoting the cause on social media is a great way to be seen and heard as well.

For more information on where to donate or how to set up a blood drive, visit www.nybloodcenter.org/ blood or call 1-800-933-2566.

New York Blood Center (NYBC) has declared a blood emergency.

The organization is asking people across New York City, the Hudson Valley, Long Island and New Jersey to donate blood to help replenish the blood supply for hospitals throughout the area.

In order to maintain a safe blood supply, a seven-day inventory of all blood types must be continually replenished. Right now, reserves are below that minimum. These low levels are particularly dangerous leading into summer months, when people are less likely to donate blood as schools go on summer break and families take vacations.

The best preparation for life-threatening situations is having blood on hospital shelves in advance.

“Every single day, blood donations help save lives—and right now, the need is critical,” said Andrea Cefarelli, Senior Executive Director of Donor Recruitment for New York Blood Center. “We’re calling on everyone to do what they can to spread the word, host a blood drive or simply take an hour out of their day to donate.”

Community members are encouraged to find time to donate blood at

The facility will replace the current academy in Massapequa Park.

“The need for the NCPD to construct its own training facility has been discussed for decades,” said Curran. “We don’t want to waste any more time or taxpayer dollars on a $700,000-per-year lease. Let’s get a shovel in the ground.”

The new police academy will be located near Nassau Community College.

Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 30 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The obstacles are the path. So hop on up, and skip from one to the next. You have that kind of gravity-defying energy this week, mostly because you won’t take things too seriously or personally.

Your refusal to attach to negativity keeps you buoyant and effective.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You started this project out the right way. You had a goal, and you planned backward, figuring out what it would take and how long. But several of the steps have turned out to take longer and be costlier than you expected. Take heart and soldier on. Adjust the plan. This is the part where you get to be tenacious.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You charmed your audience -- no small accomplishment. It required natural abilities and the intelligence to line them all up effectively. Now that they’re interested and you’re “in,” so to speak, the hard work begins. What will make it worthwhile? Get clear about what’s in it for them and what’s in it for you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Too many choices result in decision paralysis.

If you must offer options to people this week, offer only three. And if you must choose from an array of options, make your criteria so narrow that only a few options fit within it. Things to consider: What would please you?

What would do the most good for the most people?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Don’t discount the value of your taste, creativity and general worldview, as these things will make all of the difference to your work this week. Anyone with money can buy what’s in the brochure, but it’s what you do when you don’t have the money that will be a most remarkable and tasteful feat.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When you get there you may realize there’s no there. This is why it’s best to savor all those dreams, plans, decisions and preparations: They are the best part. Help those who are younger than you to enjoy getting ready for things, and don’t tell them about “there.” They’ll find out soon enough.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You don’t have to make a mistake to learn from it. You can save yourself time and money this week by learning from the mistakes of others. It’s a matter of finding the right “others.” Get as specific as possible about your problem and then seek mentorship (which can come in many forms, including books.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re supposed to want to do a lot of things, like see friends, go to exciting, beautiful places, enjoy times with family -- the kinds of things presented as “fun” in television commercials.

What you actually want to do may vary. Just because there are no commercials about it, that doesn’t mean it’s not valid fun.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don’t want to be wasteful, and yet holding on to things that you don’t need, want or extract any joy from is, in its own way, also wasteful. It’s a waste of life and energy, and it prevents you from going where you can contribute the best of you. So let go this week. Better things are to come.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re pushed by your drive and pulled by your goals. Now all you have to do to be productive is to get rid of the superfluous things that distract you and hold you back. Like a racecar driver reducing drag on a fast ride, you’ll figure out what’s creating resistance, streamline and excel like you know you can.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Your pursuit of success won’t be a relentless, dogged battle; rather, it will be an elegant dance in which you sidestep between respect and familiarity, tension and unity, space and intimacy. The art is in learning to read your dance partner (whether its life, a client, a loved one, your work) well enough to anticipate the next move. The especially auspicious months are August for money; September for love; and December for professional advancement.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). At times you’ve equated success with having a bunch of supportive people around to understand and encourage you.

Though relationships are important, they are not essential to the kind of success on the table for you this week. One good friend is more than enough for this journey, and that friend is you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You can’t stand in your own shadow, and maybe that’s why you sometimes seek out large, looming structures you can hide in the shade of. Just recognize the dynamic for what it is -- and keep an eye on your tendencies -- because there’s an opportunity this week that will require you to step out into the light.

DINING

Where Sausage Is

BY STEVE MOSCO SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

W

hile old-school butchers are not nearly as prolific as they once were, there are a few hard-line meat mongers holding firm to their cleavers—and one chef is expressing his enormous passion for butchery through a diminutive gourmet sausage sandwich shop.

Opened by chef and owner Brian Von Der Linn about a year-and-a-half ago, Liberty Links (154 Atlantic Ave., Freeport) offers a fast food approach with freshly made ingredients—all built on a solid foundation of tradition, freedom and sausage. Von Der Linn, a butcher by trade, processes most of his tubular meats from scratch.

“If I don’t produce it here, I want the best possible outside option,” he said, which includes hot dogs from Brooklyn Hot Dog Co. “This is a small place and

I see everything before it’s served. No dish goes out without me seeing it.”

The links created by Von Der Linn through his grinder run the gamut of sausages from around the world, including bratwurst with pork and veal, knockwurst with smoked German beef, cheese and parsley chicken with aged provolone, chorizo with smoked pork, hot and sweet Italian and lamb merguez with red wine, rosemary and cumin. And while the sausages alone would probably be enough, it’s the preparation that sets Liberty Links apart.

Each sausage is split down the middle and griddle-cooked to produce a browned crust that seals in the juice and skyrockets the flavor quotient. From there, customers are given their choice of

both cold and hot toppings, including pickled onions, cheddar, cherry peppers, beer cheese, roasted garlic kraut and sautéed onions that Von Der Linn cooks for hours on end—creating an onion flavor so deep it will leave you shook. It’s all packed on a firm, yet soft roll, and finally, the extensive sauce bar allows customers to hit their sausage sandwich with streaks of barbecue, tzatziki, spicy mustard and more.

Aside from the everyday sausage sandwich menu, Von Der Linn also relishes the opportunity to exercise his creative freedom with Liberty Links’ Sausage of the Month. These hot takes include such succulent offerings as The Gallucci, an Italian seasoned pork sausage with capocollo and smoked pancetta ground into the mix and layered with a topping of garlic ricotta, along with

King fresh mozzarella and basil pesto and topped with shaved pepperoni. For July, Von Der Linn created the Southern Belle, with smoked pork butt blended with collard greens and a homemade cornbread stuffed inside a pork sausage, topped with southern barbecue slaw.

This spin on traditional butcher creations grants visitors with tastes of the past, present and future all in one bite.

“I was trained by old-school butchers with tons of knowledge about meats and the different cuts and what flavors work with those cuts,” said Von Der Linn, who cut his teeth around the corner from Liberty Links at Steve’s Meats in Freeport and whose shop has methodically expanded recently to include delivery and off-site catering complete with a whole hog roast for his more fantastically gluttonous customers. “This is stuff that’s been passed down from generations of butchers from the old world. I’m talking the first of

the Italian and Polish immigrants from neighborhood butcher shops. They built the foundation—and that’s the foundation I work from.”

Von Der Linn further experiments with his craft on his Guilty Pleasures menu and side dishes, which include thick-slab bacon rolled in brown sugar, fried ravioli, crispy and creamy potato knishes, a monstrous grilled cheese double-stacked with cheesy goodness between three slices of Texas toast, farmer cheese pierogi, a tater tot dish swimming in beer cheese and topped with caramelized onions and bacon that the chef appropriately dubbed Drunk Tots, and so much more, including one of the eatery’s most popular items, pastrami dumplings—New York

pastrami squeezed into fried dumplings with a house sauce.

It’s the pastrami dumplings that perhaps best illustrate the positive impact that a good butcher can have on the culinary world. Von Der Linn uses the leftover pastrami ends for his dumplings—a wastenot, want-not homage to similarly minded butcher masters.

“You step into the back of a butcher shop and these are the types of things those guys are eating,” said Von Der Linn. “It’s blue collar food. It’s comfort food.”
