One Last Bite

Anthony C. Ferrante’s final spin with Sharknado

BY STEVE MOSCO SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

A

tornado of sharks. It never should have happened, but it did. Six times.

The Sharknado franchise will come to an end this month when the sixth film in the series, The Last Sharknado: It’s About Time, makes landfall on Syfy Aug. 19.

The ludicrously awesome concept of airborne sharks decimating the population in fantastically gruesome ways is one of the most unlikely success stories in made-for-TV history—but for director Anthony C. Ferrante, the series’ triumphant swan song is no joke.

“When you make a film, you hope it has longevity and you hope people will like it,” said Ferrante, who has helmed all six films. “This ending

was something I wanted to do two movies ago. There’s a speech at the end—that’s me writing to the actors and the crew, the characters talking to each other and me talking to the audience. It works on a lot of meta levels. This movie means a lot to me.

It was a big part of my life. Every year of my life for the past six years, I’ve lived in a black hole of Sharknado.”

When the first Sharknado premiered on July 11, 2013, it was just another Saturday-night schlockfest on Syfy, a channel that had previously gifted viewers with high-concept movies like Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus, Mansquito and Piranhaconda. As with those movies, the marketing for Sharknado was grassroots at best, with a trailer and not much else in terms of promotion by Syfy.

But what happened on the night

of the premiere was something that no one—not the actors or Ferrante himself—ever saw coming.

“It was Twitter that blew it up that night, live as it was airing,” said Ferrante. “People watching it as a live event.”

The so-bad-it’s-good first installment led to a sequel the very next year with Sharknado 2: The Second One, followed by a new film every summer for the next several years with Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!, Sharknado: The 4th Awakens and Sharknado 5: Global Swarming (that one had the genius tagline “Make America Bait Again!”). It would be a massive undertaking for any film, no matter the genre, to roll out a new film every single year—and that is especially true for one that relies so heavily on visual effects and is beholden to a super-tight budget.

20180817_XAL_LNW_PG00 - 1:26August 13, 2018

Ferrante said the movies generally start filming January and shoot for 18 days and after the movie magic process, it is delivered to the network in June or July. The breakneck speed of filming combined with the low budget can make for some breathless moments, but ultimately, Ferrante credits the crew and the actors for always getting the job done.

“We are scrappy,” Ferrante said in explaining how these movies get made. “We cram so much into these films in a short amount of time. In the first Sharknado, we had 200 visual effects shots. In this one, we have 1,200. On a normal movie set you have three or four days to get an action sequence right. Meanwhile, we’ll do three action sequences

FEATURE BITE from page 3A in 12 hours. That’s the magic of Sharknado. The movies are made out of the energy of desperation. We don’t have time, money or resources, but dammit we are going to make it work.”

Ferrante’s “we” includes himself and his crew, but also a handful of series regulars along with an ever-spinning Rolodex of cameos.

The franchise’s lead actors, Ian Zeiring and Tara Reid, have appeared in all six films—an anomaly for any long-running movie series. Also, when the franchise started, most of the actors had never done visual effects work before, so it was up to Ferrante to stand behind the camera, manically miming a monster shark.

“These movies would have been a lot different if we had to replace actors. That’s been a really cool part,” said Ferrante, adding that the actors are all willing participants in the insanity of Sharknado. “The actors know their characters are going to be put through some crazy stuff.

We ask them to take a giant leap of faith. Like Ian jumping chainsaw first into the mouth of a shark and then chainsawing his way out. That could

have ended his career at that point, but instead it works because he went for it and committed to it.”

But now that franchise comes to an end in a way that, according to Ferrante, will be incredibly satisfying

for fans. He said the sixth film will be a love letter to all of the previous films in the series. All of the questions, all of the loose ends, will all be tied up and answered.

“Fans are going to catch all of

these echoes to the previous movies, especially toward the end,” he said.

“We looked at this as the last episode of a TV series. No cliffhangers this time. In terms of this storyline, there is a definitive end. I hope there’s not a dry eye in the audience.”

When it’s all said and done, what makes Ferrante proudest about his time in the Sharknado universe is that beyond all the snarky commentary from film critics, he was able to create a collection of movies that knew exactly what it was—goofy, gnarly fun completely devoid of pretension.

“There are some people that hate-watch it and don’t get it, but there are a ton that really love it.

That is why we do this. The way the climate is in the world, it’s something we need. It’s meant to be fun, it’s meant to be an escape,” he said.

“As a filmmaker, you realize your responsibility when you see people tweeting that they have their food supply for a viewing party and it’s their summer thing. You have an obligation to deliver and a reason to keep going and that was special to me. It’s a momentary relief from the ridiculousness of what’s going on in the world.”

Steve Alten resurrects megalodons and the shark genre in The Meg

underwater observation program from the attacks of a megalodon which has survived extinction.

For Alten, seeing his novel come to life was a

t’s a great time to be a shark in Hollywood.

Audiences around the world are hungry for these kings of the sea, be it in animated form, falling out of the sky in tornadoes, or eating innocent beachgoers. And though the release of Jaws in 1975 kicked off a slew of imitators, this past weekend’s release of The Meg brings audiences face-to-face with sharks like they’ve never seen them before.

Though Jaws inspired a whole stream of shark movies, TV specials and books, author Steve Alten didn’t set out to be a copycat. Instead, the Philadelphia-based author set out to change the

market for shark-based entertainment completely.

“The megalodon was the nastiest apex predator ever to have existed. It’s not just a shark, it was the shark,” he said, noting that he hopes The Meg changes the way other shark movies are seen. “With The Meg out, they can’t do another remake of Jaws.

Who wants to see a puny great white when you have a megalodon? It makes the shark from Jaws seem like a snack.”

The Meg, short for megalodon, brings to life Alten’s New York Times bestselling novel: Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror. And deep terror is what readers not only found in the 1997 debut novel, but are experiencing on the big screen with the movie that follows a deep-sea rescue diver (played by Jason Statham) as he attempts to rescue those aboard an

project 20 years in the making. Though discussions to make the book a movie began in 1997, the project found itself in development limbo for years, before finally finding success.

The tall task of bringing the toothy creature to life on the big screen was then given to Jon Turteltaub, best known for the National Treasure franchise and Phenomenon.

And while Alten says he stayed pretty hands-off on the movie-side of The Meg, entrusting the project to producer Belle Avery, the key element for him was getting the shark right.

“The most important thing Belle Avery did was safeguard what the shark looked like,” said Alten, noting that previous studios had tried to create their own version of the megalodon. “We know what the shark looked like.”

Though he works in fiction, maintaining a level of legitimacy is essential for Alten.

“The reader wants to believe what they’re reading, even though it’s fiction,” 1-4 pg Anton News Robert Moses_Layout 1 6/25/18 he said.

“It’s a much better story if it’s believable.”

Adding to the realism is Alten’s characters, some of whom are named after his devoted base of self-proclaimed “megheads.” Alten is steadfast about writing back to anyone who emails him and for the past couple of years, has held a contest to see which minor characters will be named after his fans. It’s gotten to the point now, Alten said, where his fans beg to have their namesakes killed off.

“It’s become the status to become eaten,” he said.

Alten recently released the sixth book in The Meg series and said he hopes that the film follows suit.

“The writers wouldn’t have to reinvent the wheel, the material’s all there,” he said on whether he hopes The Meg becomes a film franchise.

“The books get more intense as it goes on; we’re not just setting up for repeated kill scenes, there’s a story line that leads to bigger and better things.”

THE LAND OF MOSES

Megalodon Fact Sheet Unlike Godzilla, King Kong or other giant monsters, the megalodon actually existed and once called the oceans of planet Earth home. That in itself is an astonishing fact when one dissects the facts about this terrible leviathan.

Name: Megalodon Meaning: Big Tooth Looked like: A gigantic, somehow more terrifying Great White Lived: Approximately 23 to 2.6 million years ago Where: Every damn place Size: 60 feet, 30 times heavier than Great White Speed: 11 miles per hour Teeth: Numerous at 7.25 inches. Triangular in shape, robust with fine serrations What it ate: Giant sea turtles, whales, seals, whatever it damn-well pleased Extinction: Likely caused by climate change and an ecosystem that shifted away from the massive prey targets that made being a megalodon so much fun.

British Re-Invasion

Billy J. Kramer brings Merseybeat to My Father’s Place at the Roslyn Hotel

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

I

n the annals of rock and roll history, the British Invasion caused a seismic disturbance in the pop culture zeitgeist thanks to myriad British groups that invaded the United States fueled by the inspiration of American rock and roll, blues and soul. With The Beatles leading the charge, numerous other acts followed in their wake, including The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Dave Clark Five, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Herman’s Hermits and The Animals.

Among the artists who rode that wave were Billy J. Kramer and The Dakotas, who were lumped into a subgenre called Merseybeat. It featured groups from Liverpool, led by the Fab Four and including Gerry and the Pacemakers. All three groups were handled by Beatles manager Brian Epstein and produced by George Martin. Kramer had the unique fortune of having hits with a number of Lennon/McCartney compositions, including “Do You Want To Know a Secret?,” “Bad to Me,” “From a Window” and “I’ll Keep You Satisfied.”

Born William Howard Ashton, Kramer came from humble beginnings and started out playing music with some schoolmates, only becoming a vocalist after his guitar was stolen before a gig and he was nudged into becoming the frontman. Being part of a vibrant Liverpool music scene, he caught the eye of Epstein, whose own fortunes were on the upswing thanks to his fledgling clients, The Beatles.

“What actually happened was that I was trying to be an engineer, and I was having to go away for a year to work at Rolls Royce. There was a popularity poll in a paper called Merseybeat, which all the young kids used to buy. I came in second behind The Beatles. Brian approached me and said he’d like to manage me.

I obviously took up the offer,” he said.

“I remember going to a dance hall with friends the first time I saw The Beatles. I remember walking home with my friends afterwards saying that they were going to be bigger than Elvis. My friends said I was crazy.

Funny enough, I met them when we were playing at this Legion Hall having a pint of beer. Getting nowhere, we decided we were going to audition for this promoter named Brian Kelly and we didn’t even have a vehicle.

We threw all of our equipment onto the stairs of this double-decker bus and went to this place called the Aintree Institute. It was a place where Kelly would book young bands and they would go on early. That night, The Beatles happened to be playing and that was the first time we spoke.

I thought they were really cool and were very interesting people.”

Before long, Kramer and the Dakotas were swept up in the whirlwind that was Beatlemania and everything that came with it. One of the highlights from that part of Kramer’s career was being part of the T.A.M.I. Show, a concert that was held on Oct. 28 and 29, 1964, at the

Santa Monica Civic Auditorium and later released as a storied concert film. Hosted by surf music duo Jan and Dean, the event featured a bill chock-full of superstar performers, including Marvin Gaye, Chuck Berry, The Beach Boys, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, The Supremes, The Barbarians and Leslie Gore. For the British teen idol, it was a dream come true, although he had special empathy for The Rolling Stones, who wound up going on after James Brown and The Famous Flames.

“My memories of the T.A.M.I. Show was that it was just unbelievable to do a show with all these people that you admired so much and never dreamt of performing [alongside on the same bill]. I hate to say it, but my memory is of James Brown at the top of his game, blowing the place apart, and the Rolling Stones having to follow,” he recalled. “I really, quite frankly, felt sorry for them. James Brown was unbelievable and to me, it was all over [once he performed]. How the hell do you follow that? You can’t.

It was an hour and a half before the Stones came on. I was glad that I went

20180817_XAL_LNW_PG00 - 1:26August 13, 2018

on early.”

The novelty of all this popularity waned quickly and by the early 1980s, Kramer moved to Long Island looking for a change of pace while still working on his craft as a performer.

“I moved to the States because I went through a period where I was doing these tours and felt like a hamster on a treadmill at a pet shop.

I was singing the same five songs every night on tour after tour. I felt like I wanted to do more and extend my repertoire,” he said. “It’s so funny because when I came here, my wife drove me out to Long Island, and I walked through Glen Cove. It was a quiet little town and that was it. I was able to live an anonymous life, especially after I went through all the craziness of the 1960s—touring with The Beatles and all that sort of stuff.”

Within the last few years, Kramer has released a memoir (2016’s Do You Want To Know a Secret?), a CD (I Won the Fight) and is set to release another album (Hankey Drive) by year’s end, despite having a rough recovery from hand surgery that found him battling a staph infection.

Having fully recovered, the septuagenarian rocker will be singing a mix of old and new backed up by a band that includes former Billy Joel drummer Liberty DeVito. Through all the obstacles fame may have presented, Kramer always clung to the idea of never taking anything for granted.

“One of the things I learned as years went by was that I had to be more focused and I really had to commit to what I was doing,” he said. “In my early years, things came very easy. But as time went by, I worked at it. I didn’t just sit back. I worked on trying to be a better entertainer. Of course, I went through the whole bit of drinking and drugs. But I’m very fortunate and very blessed that I got out of all of that.”

Billy J. Kramer will be appearing on Aug. 18 at My Father’s Place at the Roslyn Hotel, 1221 Old Northern Blvd., Roslyn. For more information, visit www.myfathersplace.com or call 516-625-2700.

“When I needed a new heart valve, I went to the TAVR center with the best outcomes on Long Island.”

For John Elliott, sailing is living. He’s been on the water for most of his 90-plus years. In all three theaters during World War 2, as a merchant seaman, and for the last 70 years sailing out of the Rockaway Point Yacht Club.

But recently John was so fatigued and short of breath, he could only walk a few steps. His aortic valve was failing. His daughter, a nurse, told John about a minimally invasive valve replacement procedure called TAVR. She took him to NYU Winthrop Hospital, one of the busiest TAVR centers in the country, with the best TAVR outcomes on Long Island. They replaced John’s valve through an artery in his leg. In no time at all, he was back to sailing off Breezy Point.

If you suffer from aortic stenosis, you may be a candidate for TAVR. To learn more, call 1-866-WINTHROP or visit nyuwinthrop.org.

It’s Not Garbage, It’s Compost

BY MYLES GOLDMAN

T

he secret to a beautiful garden may be closer than you think.

Compost, organic materials such as household food scraps and yard waste, has myriad benefits to soil as well as to the environment.

Most people may not realize they have all the materials necessary to build a compost pile right in their own home. A hot compost bin can be made from a plastic garbage can by drilling holes on the bottom and sides with a paddle drill bit.

Composting can be done two ways, indoor and outdoors, but

After the first week, make sure you turn your compost because it will add oxygen and spread out the microorganisms.

both produce luscious nutrients for your garden. Composting is when you combine natural products that contain nitrogen and carbon, for example, old leaves for the carbon base and grass as your nitrogen base.

The keys to building good compost— besides ingredients—are turning it at

the right times and getting the ratio correct. The carbon and nitrogen ratio in compost is 30 parts carbon to one part nitrogen.

Only three products are needed in order to build your own compost pile: browns, greens and water. Browns, also known as the carbons, can be

found in sawdust, shredded paper, newspapers without color, egg shells, cardboard and more. Cardboard, sawdust and wood chips are some of the best ingredients since they are high in carbon levels.

The green ingredients provide nitrogen and are the most abundant.

Green ingredients can be grass clippings, old tea bags, coffee grounds, flowers, banana peels and apple cores, as well as other fruit and vegetable pieces.

Even though the ingredients are easy to get, building a compost pile is even easier to mess up. Some common

COMPOST from page 10A mistakes people make are by over saturating the compost from rain. Compost bins should also never be directly in the sun because it can dry out.

While there are a lot of ingredients available to make your own compost, there are some items that you should not use. Meat scraps can rot, attract rats and can infect your compost. While cow, horse and chicken excrements work very well in your compost, dog and cat feces do not because these animals eat meat, which can introduce parasites into your pile.

After the first week, make sure you turn your compost because it will add oxygen and spread out the microorganisms. After the first week, you should only turn it every three weeks and do so for at least three months or longer until your compost has fully broken down.

Ideally, compost should range from 120-170 degrees Fahrenheit and can be checked with a compost thermometer that can be placed directly into the pile.

However, if your batch of compost does not heat up, it could be from lack of oxygen. A quick turn of the compost usually solves the issue.

Unfortunately, outdoor composting can be labor intensive and there is very little room for error due to the ratios and temperatures. If a batch of compost gets too hot, it can kill off important microbes. If a batch of compost starts

to smell foul, it can be turned but if not done correctly, you need to start over again.

Indoor composting is more manageable since it is usually done in small metal cans that can fit on a counter or under your sink. Sometimes people will do vermicomposting, which is when worms are put in the compost bin along with shredded newspaper and vegetable scrap at least once a week.

Vermicomposting is good for beginners because it can be done throughout the year, no turning is required and you don’t need to worry about ratios.

After about two months, the worms will have decomposed the food into a vermicompost, which is ready to feed to your garden. When harvesting vermicompost, you should move the worms to one side of the bin by placing food to attract the worms and then harvest.

Since composting takes time, there are ways to expedite the process by purchasing compost accelerators or by special compost bins. Compost accelerators can either come in tablet form that can be mixed with water or in a powder that can be dusted on the compost. Tumblers work well because they provide your compost with a perfect turning to circulate oxygen without the mess.

Whether you decide to create your compost inside or outside, with patience and dedication, your garden will thank you for growing beautiful plants, fruits and vegetables.

Blood Drive Collects 130 Pints Of Blood

NE HO W T RA TE S

Assemblyman John Mikulin (R,C,I,Ref-Bethpage) announced the three blood drives he recently held throughout the district have collected a total of 130 pints of blood. The blood drives were held in Farmingdale, Levittown and Plainedge.

“We are very proud to host these events and we plan to host them every year,” said Mikulin. “Every person that comes in to donate is helping to save a life. Blood banks always seem to be in short supply, so we will continue to help them in any way we can. This year we were able to collect 130 pints of blood. We are very pleased with this and we will strive each year to beat the previous year’s collection total. Thank you to Long Island Blood Services for working with us, the New York Mets and McDonalds for their contributions and all of our wonderful donors who helped make our blood drives a success.”

Looking For Chivalry

BY LINDA WILLIAMS

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

When was the last time you saw a gentleman hold a door for a lady?

How about a gentleman pulling out a chair for a lady to sit down? I was watching the movie The Intern the other night and at one point, the gentleman reached in his pocket, pulled out a white handkerchief and handed it to the lady he was with because she was crying. The lady told the gentleman that she hasn’t seen a man carrying a white handkerchief for a long time. He explained that men do not carry handkerchiefs for themselves, they carry them to give to a lady when she needs one.

Of course, being an etiquette consultant, I was intrigued by the statement, so I did some research.

Turns out the information is correct.

There numerous reasons to carry a handkerchief, but the aforementioned is one of them. I began thinking about the whole tradition of chivalry and how it has changed.

Centuries ago, women were identified as being the “weaker sex,” who needed to be protected and taken care of. This is the concept out of

which chivalry was birthed. As centuries and generations progressed, this viewpoint began to change. In the 1920s, an age identified as “women’s suffrage,” women were given the right to vote. Our quest for equal rights continued after that movement.

Then fast forward to the 1960s and

1970s when the Women’s Liberation Movement began. These movements began to give us equal rights but caused women to be viewed in a different light and acts of chivalry began to fade.

Somehow, the fight for equal rights was interpreted to mean we no

longer needed to have doors opened, heavy items carried for us, handkerchiefs given to us, etc.

Merriam-Webster Dictionary gives one of the definitions of chivalry as “gallant warriors or gentlemen.” For me, that means chivalry has less to do with the rights or strength of a lady and more to do with men being gentlemen, which is defined as “a man of good family, breeding or social position.”

Some ladies, like myself, would like men to continue to be gentlemen doing those kindnesses for ladies that make us feel special. Other ladies feel these actions are condescending.

So, what should a gentleman to do?

Perhaps gentlemen should strive to be just that, gentlemen, unless ladies ask you not to. It is one of those areas of life, connected to etiquette, that we struggle with daily. As with other rules of etiquette, it is up to each individual to do their best to follow rules to the best of their ability.

Parker Jewish Institute Holds 2018 Annual Senior Olympics Games Patients and Residents of Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation recently took part in a spirited Senior Olympics. Parker held its first Senior Olympics Games in 2007. These annual games are made possible by Ben Dickstein, the great-grandson of the late Jack Parker, the world-renowned developer and philanthropist the Institute was named after. The games challenge Parker’s older adult community to keep up their physical and emotional health, through planned socialization and friendly competition.

Age and disability were no obstacle for the patients and residents who took part in Parker’s games last Tuesday.

“Their competitive spirit and joy of life was so overwhelming and heartwarming to see,” said Michael N. Rosenblut, Parker’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “The Olympic Games are all about friendship and fun. Our annual games allow older athletes to pursue their youthful

Minnie Parker and Kathleen Keegan interests, and most residents to just plain have fun helping their teams win.”

The audience—patients and residents 63 to 102 years young—applauded as Rosenblut announced the opening Olympic Torch Lighting Ceremony. Then it was on to the

Marvin Mosley and Kathleen Keegan games, including the balloon shave, stack of cups, wheelchair race, potato sack race, beanbag toss, and last but not least, the basketball toss. There were 35 competitors and 125 participants in the event.

Parker’s resident Marvin Mosley, age 72, won the first place trophy in

17A

the basketball toss competition.

“This is a tremendous activity that Parker puts on for their residents, so much fun,” he said.

Minnie Parker, age 82, took first place in the wheelchair races.

“There’s no better way to show respect for seniors then by having an event like this,” said Parker, who zoomed ahead of the competition.

“Residents become involved in all sorts of activities,” said Kathleen Keegan, Director of Recreation Therapy at Parker. “We offer adults various opportunities to explore new ways of having fun together as a group.”

The afternoon of great activities concluded with an outdoor barbecue for all patients and residents.

Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation is located at 271-11 76th Ave., New Hyde Park, NY. For more information, call 718-289-2212.

Let The Dogs Out

The top places for your pooch to roam free

BY JOSH ROTHSTEIN specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

W

hile letting the dog out in the backyard or taking it for a walk down the street may be more convenient, Long Island offers options away from the house that provide features for not just dogs, but owners and companions alike.

Massapequa Dog Park

95 Clocks Blvd., Massapequa At the time of its opening in 2012, Massapequa Dog Park was the only dedicated dog park in the Town of Oyster Bay. The one-acre park is divided into areas for large dogs and small dogs (under 25 pounds). The wood chips

that cover the grounds are ideal for dogs who enjoy rolling around and getting dirty. The park is notoriously busy during weekend afternoons, however, so plan your visit accordingly.

Eisenhower Dog Park

North side of the park, corner of Stewart Avenue and Salisbury Park Drive in Westbury This dog park offers separate entrances for small dogs and large dogs and its perimeter is entirely fenced. The park also features benches, a shade structure, drinking fountains and waste bag containers. With about one acre of park available for the dogs, there is plenty of space for dogs who are looking to stretch their legs or just enjoy the fresh air.

walk& Presenting Sponsor:

Old Bethpage Restoration Dog Run

1303 Round Swamp Rd., Old Bethpage This run is free and features defined areas for small and large dogs. Old Bethpage Restoration Dog Run is doing its best to be as eco-friendly as possible, as it collects and filters rainwater for the dogs to drink. The local Boy Scout troops also support the park, having donated the benches that owners can sit on.

Newbridge Road Dog Park 2600 Newbridge Rd., Bellmore

The first dog park in the Town of Hempstead, Newbridge Road Dog Park opened its gates less than two years ago. This dog park is suited

more for active dogs, as the park contains plenty of appropriately sized agility equipment, including hoops, hurdles and ramps. Additionally, the park looks out for human companions, as trees and benches offer shade and comfort for dog owners.

Glen Cove Dog Park

Dennis Murray Park 12 E Leech Circle, Glen Cove What separates Glen Cove Dog Park from the others is its convenience for families. There is a separate gated playground close by, ideal for children to play at while parents relax in the shade.

For the dogs, there are separate areas for large and small dogs, canine water fountains and waste bags.

Travel Tips For Families Of Children With Special Needs

BY ALISON GILBERT

CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST

F

amily travel involves significant planning whether it be for a week-long trip or a short getaway.

When traveling with a child who has special needs, significantly more preparation is often necessary. Here are some useful travel tips for a last minute vacation:

1

Based on past travel experiences and known stressors, try to anticipate potential problems.

Parents may want to spend time creating specific solutions to these challenges as well as enlisting targeted coping strategies. For example, if you know that your child has a strong preference for seating when dining out, prepare by calling ahead and/or by creating relevant coping strategies like drawing materials.

2

Prepare a detailed itinerary.

For most children with special

Alison Gilbert

needs, predictability is an essential component to a successful outing.

Prepare a written itinerary with photos and simple descriptions of the places you might visit.

Review the itinerary prior to the trip and each morning that you are traveling.

3

Pack familiar items. Bringing items from home to your destination can allow your child to experience a sense of continuity as you travel from one setting to another and, therefore, help to ease the transition to a new place.

Encourage your child to bring personal items like his/her own pillow and blanket as well as a few

familiar toys. Allow your child to arrange his/her part of the hotel or room you are staying in with his/ her own items to help create a more secure and familiar environment.

4

Create a reasonable transportation schedule. If traveling by car, anticipate how much driving you will do between stops, and plan to stop at multiple locations.

Consider the environment within the car. Is it well organized? Does your child have enough personal space? Does your child need a familiar object with him or her during the drive? Does your child have a variety of activities to keep him or her engaged? Is the temperature in the car comfortable?

5

Plane travel requires special considerations. If your child has not yet flown and/or describes anxiety related to plane travel you will want to help familiarize him or her with the sights, sounds and feelings associated with it. Autism Speaks and JetBlue have developed

the Blue Horizons program for first time travelers and for those with special needs who have significant concerns about air travel.

6

Get a good night’s sleep. A good night’s sleep can go a long way towards decreasing irritability or anxiety and increasing the ability to focus and engage in new and interesting activities. Consider bringing familiar night time books along with you on your trip.

Overall, anticipating potential challenges and careful planning can help to decrease stress and increase enjoyment during family vacations, especially when traveling with a special needs child.

Alison Gilbert, PhD is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. She is currently a Clinical Assistant Professor at Hofstra Northwell School of Medicine with a certificate in Autism Spectrum Disorders from U.C. Davis.

ADVERTORIAL

I often read about concussions in the news, and am worried about my daughter playing high school soccer.

What can I do?

Dr. Zwibel: With approximately 300,000 head injuries experienced by athletes in U.S. youth sports each year, the first, and by far the most important, step in properly managing concussions comes before the injury happens.

Even before an athlete steps foot on the field!

A baseline test is a simple way to protect children, as it measures

your child’s “normal” brain activity for us to assess brain function before injury. This is helpful because in the event the athlete gets a concussion, we can then compare the post-injury state to the baseline parameters to make an accurate diagnosis and determine when he or she is safe to return to their sport.

At the NYIT Center for Sports Medicine, we are taking the lead in concussion management on Long Island.

Back To School Necessities Planner

Barnes & Noble $10.95

W

ith the new school year approaching, so does the impending back-to-school shopping.

There are many supplies that could be recycled from last year, like notebooks with only a few used pages, unopened packs of pens and craft supplies like crayons or markers.

However, there are a few essential staples that should be purchased new every year for the best chance at a productive start to the new year.

Sneakers

Backpack

Payless ($9.99-$19.99) Besides the obvious need of new shoes as your child’s feet grow, new shoes are an important buy because sneakers tend to get worn out quickly between recess, gym class and the typical “kid stuff.” Well-fitting, comfortable shoes are important as they can help prevent injuries, as well as cut down on distractions caused by feet in pain.

Girls can kick the school year off with these gray and pink Zoe & Zac sneakers ($9.99) and boys can get a running start with Champion’s Gusto Cross Trainer ($19.99).

Target $16

A new backpack helps to start the new year on the right foot. By the end of the previous year, backpacks tend to get messy with crumbs, old papers and the unfortunate piece of fruit that always seems to make its way to the bottom of the bag. Head to Target and pick up a backpack like this one, everyone’s favorite sister duo from Disney’s Frozen or other colorful options.

Pencil Case Staples $2.49

Pencils and pens tend to get “borrowed” and then never returned throughout the year. To help avoid this problem, a pencil holder cannot only remind a student to bring pencils to class and make sure they are prepared and do not need to borrow, but it will also help them keep track of how many they have left. These colorful pencil pouches from Staples are cute and easy to see how many writing utensils are available.

Folders

Where dreams begin...

Target starting at 50 cents Folders that can be assigned to certain subjects are a helpful buy.

They teach students great organziational skills and assigning color to each subject makes it easy for them to locate their work. Be sure to stock up on dozens of colors and designs at Target as your child wlill no doubt need more than a few to get through the year. A helpful hint: folders with bottom pockets are less likely to cause spillage.

Hoodie

Kohl’s $21.99

REGISTRATION

Fluctuating temperatures between classrooms can be a real problem in many schools, so send your child to school equipped with a sweatshirt or sweater that can easily be stored in a bag or locker. Keep cozy in this fleece full-zip style from Kohl’s. Just be sure to write your child’s name on the tag in marker to avoid ending up in the lost and found box.

Main School 999 Herricks Road, New Hyde Park, NY (Herricks Community Center) August 28, 29; September 4, 5, 3 pm - 7 pm

Satellite School 150 Eileen Way, Syosset, NY August 30, September 6, 3 pm - 7 pm • Ballet Classes from Ages 2 to Adult • Broadway Dance Workshop Series featuring Broadway Artists • Conservatory and Recreational Programs

Since they usually only contain one school year each, a new planner or agenda is essential for a new school year.

Not only do they help keep track of assignments and tests but they can also help remind students of practices, social events or study groups.

With so many beautiful and creative options to choose from at Barnes & Noble, it will be hard to pick one, but this 2019 Blue Agate Weekly Flex Cover Planner is a good start.

How-to Pack A Healthy Lunch

BY ZIPORA EINAV

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

I

t won’t be long before kids will be heading back to school and for the parents to begin packing their lunches again. Organic food is expensive and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches only work for so long.

It’s easy to stick to a budget on school lunches if you plan and prepare the meals at home in advance. Planning a menu and shopping with a list each week helps to manage your budget because you only buy what is needed rather than going to the store each day.

And if the kids are old enough, let them help you prepare their lunches. That is an excellent time to have discussions with your children about nutrition.

For a healthier snack, offer baked vegetable chips or sweet potato fries, rather than buying packaged chips.

Make home-baked chicken fingers or bake chicken to create a sandwich on whole wheat bread and add lettuce.

Don’t forget to include seasonal fruit such as apples, pears and strawberries

in your child’s lunch as well.

Does your child have a favorite vegetable like carrot sticks or celery?

You can include a hummus dip—which is offered plain or comes in several flavors—and you can add whole wheat crackers such as Wheat Thins or Breton.

Eating healthy does not need to be expensive and preparing the foods can be easier than most people think if they just prepare in advance and shop for healthy groceries.

Successful Ways Of Helping Children Cope With Anxiety

BY JEREMY SKOW specialsections@anton mediagroup.com

W

hen children are chronically anxious, parents who do not want their child to suffer often inadvertently exacerbate their child’s anxiety. As parents, we try to anticipate the danger our children can get into and divert them from it. We try to anticipate our child’s fears and protect them. However, if we continuously shelter them from anxiety how could they ever learn to cope with it?

Not all triggers can be avoided.

It is important to recognize that anxiety, or worry, has a purpose. It is a protection mechanism that helps us survive danger. It is something everyone experiences at some point.

There are instances, however, when our system sets off false alarms. We may worry even when it is not certain that there is something to worry about.

While there is no one-size-fits-all solution for anxiety, there are numerous research-based techniques that can help manage it.

Change ‘What If’ Thinking To ‘What Is’ Thinking Anxiety usually focuses on things that may or may not happen in the future. It typically focuses on ‘what if’: “What if my actions today costs me all of my friends?” “What if the girls won’t let me sit with them in the cafeteria?”

Encourage our son or daughter to let go of ‘what if’ and focus on ‘what is’.

Research shows that focusing on the present can help alleviate stress.

Confront Stressors Do not strive to remove or avoid stressors that trigger anxiety.

Avoidance of anxiety-provoking situations maintains the anxiety. Facing/ exposure to his or her fears will teach them that anxiety reduces naturally over time. This is referred to as the “habituation curve”. Our anxiety level may never drop to zero, or as quickly as we would like, but it will drop and that is how they will overcome their fears. Help our son or daughter build up the courage and strength to face their stressors by validating

their emotions. Demonstrate that we understand their experience and are listening to what they have to say.

Teach Problem Solving Skills If our child is capable of generating their own solutions, let them. If they can’t, we can generate some potential solutions for them and then ask our child to pick the solution that he or she thinks would work best. Our goal should not be to solve their problems for them.

Model How To Cope With Anxiety

Children look to their parents to determine how to react in situations.

Our child will often do what we do. If we avoid anxiety-provoking situations, so will our child. Similarly, if they see us face our fears, they will too. Stay calm. Let them hear or see us managing our own stress calmly, tolerating it and feeling good about getting through it.

Express confidence that they will be

able to manage whatever anxiety they have. Byproducts of the coping skills we teach them will include increased confidence, greater independence and lessened anxiety that may even fall away over time.

GMC Going Strong With Popular SUVs

BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

The GMC brand is increasing SUV production following the strongest first quarter sales ever for the midsize Acadia and compact Terrain SUVs. GMC finished the first quarter with global SUV sales up 9.4 percent and Terrain sales alone up 38 percent. To meet increased demand, the company recently announced the addition of a third shift at its Spring Hill Assembly facility in Spring Hill, TN, home of the GMC Acadia.

GMC Hits Its Stride

GMC-SUV from page 21A “Our redesigned Terrain and Acadia have found their stride in the market and our full-size Yukon and Yukon XL continue to lead the luxury full-size segment with premium appointments and features,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president, Global Buick and GMC. “This sales momentum will continue to be built on a strong product portfolio for our global markets.”

In the United States, the Terrain is attracting one of every two buyers who are new to the GMC brand.

In an industry where midsize and compact SUVs account for more than one-third of all industry sales, GMC’s premium SUV lineup is well-positioned for future growth.

The GMC SUV family is complemented by the industry’s only premium lineup competing in all three truck segments: midsize, fullsize and heavy-duty. The Canyon, Sierra and Sierra HD Denalis all experienced sales growth in 2017, helping the brand achieve one of the highest average transaction prices in the industry.

The recently unveiled next-generation Sierra Denali and the off-road-capable Sierra AT4 will launch later this year, further strengthening the brand’s premium truck lineup. These new trucks are distinguished by bold design, segment-first technology and industry-leading truck box capability and functionality. The

Grinding Gears With Jeff Beck

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderuBio@antonmediagroup.com

Jeff Beck is an unabashed hot rod enthusiast. But rather than be the kind of rock star who just drops a ton of coin on a muscle car, he’s far happier rolling his sleeves up and getting his hands dirty. Having gotten an early taste for his future hobby after seeing 1958 b-movie Hot Rod Gang, Beck would later make his initial deep dive into this world when he started making money with The Yardbirds. It was then that he proceeded to buy his first car—a 1963 split-window Corvette that he still

Jeff Beck

owns to this day. Such is his passion that he spent more of the 1980s in his garage than he did recording music, a fact covered in the most-excellent 2018 documentary Still On the Run. The following are a trio of his favorite autos.

1932 Ford Roadster

“The 1932 Ford is the iconic street rod. I’ve got a graffiti, lookalike

car that I built, which I wouldn’t let go. That would be the first one I would push out in case of a fire. The chopped look was done for a reduced frontal area, so they’d go faster. That became a fashion statement, so they’d start lowering the roof of the street rods. And that’s where that came from. It was done for speed, but it looks cool.”

2014 Land Rover

“That’s my work horse. It will go through any field.

You can turn off the road and go across a 100-acre plot. That’s outside the hotrod camp.”

1963 split-window Corvette Sting Ray

(Photo by Alf van Beem)

1963 split-window Sting Ray Corvette

“I’ve got two of these. Street rods are part of rock and roll life. In 1955, when the military came back from various places and wars, they wanted the highs and thrills. If you look at any good documentary, they wanted to keep the high going. What do you do when

you’re faced with death?

And they knew mechanics—they were trained mechanics. And they’d go straight down to the local wrecking yard and get a V-8 engine, hop it up and stick in into a [chassis] and then go out on the salt flats and kill themselves. That’s what they did and they ended up with street culture.”

WHY I LOVE MY CAR - Rod Rogers

1969 Karmann Ghia: An Auto Like No Other M

y wife Diana and I were married New York City teachers back in 1969, when we planned an extended European honeymoon trip during our two-month summer vacation.

After considering various transportation options for leisurely traveling throughout the continent, we decided to buy a new (and reasonably-priced) automobile in Europe, see the sights and then have the car shipped home to Far Rockaway, Queens.

We visited a local Volkswagen dealer in early June, paid for a bright-red 1969 Karmann Ghia convertible and picked it up the following month at the VW factory in Osnabruck, Germany.

I served in the army and was stationed in Germany some years earlier, so we started our sightseeing there before going on to France, Holland, Belgium, Austria, Yugoslavia (where I received a speeding ticket and paid on the spot), Switzerland, Italy and Spain.

Our Ghia turned out to be an

excellent choice; economical, reliable and so much fun to drive that we kept it for the next quarter-century, when I was seduced by a sporty red 1984 Honda CRX. The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is a sports car marketed as 2 + 2 coupe (1955–1974) and convertible (1957–1974). Internally designated the Type 14, the Karmann Ghia combined the chassis and mechanicals of the Type 1 (Beetle) with styling by Luigi Segre of the Italian carrozzeria Ghia, and hand-built bodywork by the German coach builder Karmann. The Type 14 debuted in October 1953 at the Paris Auto Show. In 1955, the first Type 14’s were manufactured in Osnabruck, Germany. Public reaction to the Type 14 exceeded expectations and more than 10,000 were sold in the first year.

In contrast to the Beetle’s machine-welded body with bolt-on fenders, the Karmann Ghia’s body panels were butt-welded, hand-shaped and smoothed with pewter in a time-consuming process commensurate with higher-end vehicles, resulting in the Karmann Ghia’s higher price.

In August 1957, Volkswagen introduced a convertible version of

the Karmann Ghia. Exterior changes in 1961 included wider and finned front grilles, taller and more rounded rear taillights and headlights relocated to a higher position.

In 1970, larger taillights integrated the reverse lights and larger wraparound turn signals. Still larger and wider taillights increased side visibility. In 1972, large square-section bumpers replaced the smooth round originals. For the USA model only, 1973 modifications mandated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration included an energy-absorbing bumpers and a carpeted package shelf that replaced the narrow rear seat.

Nearly 500,000 Karmann Ghias were produced until late 1974, when it was superseded by the Porsche 914 and the Golf/Rabbit Scirocco.

I’ve owned a ’47 Ford coupe, ’53 Chevrolet convertible, ’59 Buick LeSabre convertible, ’73 Buick Riviera sedan, ‘84 Honda CRX, ’84 Dodge Caravan, ’90 Honda CRX, ’98 Dodge Caravan and a ’16 Honda HR-V, but my overall favorite— hands down—was my delightfully driveable 1969 Karmann Ghia convertible.

WORD FIND

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Since there is little that’s more stress inducing than the unknown, the information you learn this week will actually relieve stress. The more light you can shed on the situation, the less anxious you will feel. You’ll be lucky with the expert advice because you’re so adept at sensing who really knows what’s up.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). We are either refined or diminished by what we desire. Although perhaps we cannot help what we want, there is a wide range out there in the world of things that are possible to want, and some far more likely to bring us health and prosperity than others. This week’s good fortune comes with wanting the right things.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you do better, you should feel better, too. If you do better but you feel worse, this bad return on investment will motivate you to change your direction and put your effort behind something that has a better chance of rewarding you, if not in the short term then at least in the long run.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Having high standards and working hard will absolutely get results. But you have to ask yourself why you’re doing it.

Is it really about bringing up the quality of life, or is it about trying to have control over something that is largely uncontrollable? Within the answer to this question is your key to happiness.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Usually it takes two to tango, communicate, fight, cooperate and more. But somehow you’ll manage to do a lot of this while going it solo this week, as a complex problem will bring out the many facets of your sophisticated mind. You’ll better yourself by challenging your own thinking time and again.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). This week features love in many forms, and it will be necessary to think over the best way to be kind and just in relationships. For instance, if you’re going to play hard to get, let yourself be “gotten” when the other person has successfully passed the test. If you’re actually just not interested, make that clear, too.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

How you see things is how they are. Think of yourself as rich and lucky, and enjoy this solar return for the many ways it will prove these things to be true. The next 10 weeks show you making new social connections and growing in existing ones.

Relationships will bring opportunity. An offer or challenge you accept in October will have dividends all through 2019. You will meet a loyal supporter in February who helps to make your dreams come true by being your advocate and guide.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Humans can be greedy animals, with a covetousness that, at the least, makes life unpleasant and, in the extreme, threatens the very existence of our kind. Your efforts to need less, appreciate more and be generous in any way you can will not only make life better for you; it helps humans in general.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are like a key. With a certain amount of jiggling, you may fit into a lot of different situations, and yet there’s that one that just clicks for you. You seem uniquely built to open it up. This week, you’ll experience a beautiful fit and have or create access to treasures because of it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). This week you’ll influence the ones you love (and they, you) for better and for worse. Those two categories of influence will be indistinguishable from one another, so don’t bother thinking too far into it. What will be most obvious is that your lives are far more interesting for the connection you share.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The thing you were calling a flaw isn’t one at all. This is something to celebrate instead of conceal. It will feel strange at first, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll find out that you have a distinct advantage in this interesting character trait -- an advantage that will bring you attention and money at that.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You probably think you’re making reasonable requests this week, and in fact you are, but that doesn’t always have a bearing on the other person’s ability to fulfill them. Ineptitude happens in mysterious ways. So stay on your toes, alert and ready to handle the unexpected. When you do, you’ll be a hero.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Extra demands might make things better, might even make them great, but they also make things stressful. All that’s needed, wanted and expected, plus the time frame, budget and other relevant details -- well, it’s enough to cause you to step back and think over what is really healthy and reasonable to desire.

Home Health Advocate Amy Recco reveals Friends for Life’s commitment to care

How did you get into the home health care business? Was this something you were always passionate about?

Together, my husband and I have more than 30 years of experience in the home care industry. Between my husband’s longtime knowledge from working in the field, along with my passion to help those in need, we decided to team up and create our business we now call Friends for Life Home Care. We have been growing our business for almost a decade and I become more and more passionate each day. I believe in what we do and that’s why we do it so well.

What services does Friends For Life provide?

Friends for Life provides a number of services and we’re continuously expanding what we offer when we see there is a need. We are most well-known for providing basic home care services such as hourly and live-in companions, as well as long-term senior care planning. We offer Medicaid consulting on site. We also provide hospice care and senior advocacy. If we cannot directly provide you with our

A

5501 Merrick Rd., Massapequa (516) 586-6941

services, you are still not alone.

We provide multiple referrals and nursing home/assisted living placements. Lastly, we understand the struggles and stress of caring for loved ones, so we provide free caregiver support groups for families that need to talk through their situations and share resources and support.

What are some ways that Friends For Life provides the best care possible for patients?

Our commitment to excellence provides our clients and their families with the assurance of safe, reliable and affordable services. Each client’s situation is different and we are sure to suggest the best possible solutions and services to meet their individual needs. We want to see our clients thrive and give their families the peace of mind they deserve. We make sure our clients are comfortable with their companions and that their wishes are respected within their own home.

What is the most important aspect of home health care?

There are two key elements in home health care. I can

Q A

sum it up in two words: “Home” and “Care.” To me, these are the two reasons why home care has become so very important in our society. Through my years of experience, seniors like to stay in the comfort and safety of their own environment. It’s all about keeping independence and maintaining the same lifestyle in their own familiar surroundings, just with some added help. Staying home means being near family and friends and it gives seniors the sense of freedom and confidence that they deserve.

You were recently named a Woman of Distinction in the Town of Oyster Bay for your work with Friends For Life. How did it feel to be recognized for your hard work?

I live and work in such a wonderful community and felt so honored to receive recognition for my hard work. I will say I was shocked, but extremely proud!

However, the true reward is having the opportunity to help people every day.

What are some of the struggles faced by families of patients? How does Friends For Life address those struggles?

Q

A

The hardest thing is trying to help my clients while respecting their right to make choices for themselves. For this, I became an advocate.

Additionally, I see many families that are overwhelmed and I like to be not just a place to provide companions, but options, and answers. I help anyone who needs help with elder care, planning, anything necessary to get them the help they need, no matter what it takes.

If someone needs help with Friends For Life, how can they reach out? Is there a consultation process?

We have two offices with plenty of people on staff that can help. We welcome anyone to come into our office to sit down and talk with us, so we can figure out a plan that suits you and your loved one’s needs best. We become very vested in the needs and wants of our clients and oftentimes start to build close relationships and become “friends for life.” We are always available 24/7 and we offer same day emergency services for those that are in crisis mode.

Julia Child began her culinary career relatively late in life.

The Home Cook

Remembering Julia Child’s influence

BY STEVE MOSCO SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

T

elevision cooking shows are about as ubiquitous these days as food itself, but for generations of home chefs, the kitchen gold standard is and will always be Julia Child.

A celebrity chef decades ahead of her time, Child is well known for her forays into cookbooks as well as the fledgling television industry with her instructional celebrations of French cuisine boiled down to the basics for mass consumption by stay-at-home cooks.

Offered with whimsy—and a whole lot of butter—Child’s fundamentally sound cooking programs became must-see TV throughout different iterations from the 1960s through the early 2000s. As the chef would have been 106 on Aug. 15, late summer is the perfect time to celebrate the legend’s contributions to the culinary and cultural tablescape.

“One of the most fantastic things about Julia and the reason she has so much resonance today is that she was so accessible and relaxed and made cooking fun and got a new generation back into the kitchen after they left the kitchen,” said Tanya Steel, director of the Julia Child Award, created by the Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts in 2015 and given to individuals or teams who have made a profound and significant difference in the way America cooks, eats and drinks.

“Julia provided home cooks permission to get into the kitchen and sometimes screw up and get messy, but try again and master it. She gave people, not just the passion, but the confidence to cook.”

Julia Carolyn McWilliams was born on Aug. 15, 1912, in Pasadena, CA, and would go on to build an empire on accessible French cuisine. Her formative years were spent traveling the world,

witnessing watershed moments in the food world. One such stop was Tijuana, Mexico, in 1925 where she met Caeser Cardini, the Italian-American-Mexican chef who invented what, at that time, was becoming a sensation in America: the Caesar Salad. Years later, Child would help popularize the salad with Cardini’s daughter Rosa, on one of her cooking shows.

Another noteworthy food moment for Child came in 1948 during Child’s six-year adventure living in Paris, Marseilles, Germany and Norway with her husband Paul. While spending time in Rouen, France, Julia and Paul dined at La Couronne, a restaurant that is part of the oldest inn in France, having been founded in 1345. The meal would prove to be an inspirational flashpoint for Child, nudging her toward a life of mastering French cuisine. The meal— six oysters, sole meunière, green salad, fromage blanc with berries and coffee,

accompanied by a half bottle of PouillyFumé—is still available at the restaurant as the Le Menu Julia Child ($95 plus wine). In her 2006 memoir published after her death, My Life In France, Child wrote that the lunch, “was the most exciting meal of my life.”

The meal led Child directly to enroll in the famed Parisian cooking school, Le Cordon Bleu, graduating in 1951.

The very next year, Child began working with two French women, Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle, on a cookbook about French cuisine specifically geared toward Americans. After many rejections, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Volume One was published in 1961. The book made Child a household name seemingly overnight. By 1962, she had her own local cooking show, The French Chef; by 1963, the show went national. Over the next few years, Child would win a Primetime Emmy Award for the cooking program and also grace

the cover of Time magazine, which dubbed her, “Our Lady of the Ladle.”

Child would then set off on a three-decade run as the most important home chef in the industry. Her various cooking shows airing on PBS would serve as the precursor to every single talk show cooking segment and Food Network personality that would ever cook their way onto television screens.

Besides merely influencing other cooks, she would even have a hand in creating them.

“Julia created a groundswell for consumers to be incredibly passionate about cooking and the culinary lifestyle, to the point where now there is an entire industry built on gastronomy.

She awakened that in Americans’ lives,” said Steel, who first learned of Child as a youngster watching those PBS cooking shows and would build a career of her own in the food world as a writer and editor with the New York Times,

Epicurious, Bon Appetit, Mademoiselle and Food & Wine. “I turned on PBS and saw this tall woman with a high voice slapping chickens. I was mesmerized as a kid.”

Child’s approach was always that of affable teacher, this earned her many accolades throughout her later years.

In 1993, Child was the first woman inducted into the Culinary Institute of America’s Hall of Fame, one of several distinctions she would receive from the school, including an honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts and the school’s first Lifetime Achievement Award. The Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C. even displays her original kitchen, which was designed by her husband to accommodate her tall stature.

“She was youthful and passionate and fun. I met her when I was with Food & Wine magazine. I was three offices over and I heard that unmistakable voice. She came into my cubicle and

shook my hand and it was an amazingly impactful moment in my life. Each time I met her it was such a blessing. She was so fun-loving,” said Steel. “And at restaurants she used to always go into the kitchen and thank every single person on the staff. There are so many stories of her doing that and they are all true.”

Julia Child’s life was one that was full of flavor—and we didn’t even talk about her time working in the 1940s for the

20180817_XAL_LNW_PG00 - 1:26August 13, 2018

U.S. government’s Office of Strategic Services, the forerunner of the CIA, where she had top security clearance.

Considering all she accomplished— both top secret and otherwise—the final line in her 2006 memoir reads like a rich, buttery sauce.

“And thinking back on it now reminds me that the pleasures of the table, and of life, are infinite—toujours bon appétit!”

A Giant Hill To Climb

hen I went to Giants training camp on the morning of Aug. 1, the sky over the Quest Diagnostic Training Center in East Rutherford, NJ, was dreary. Gray clouds were hanging over the facility as if they were draining the life from within it. A half-hour before the team hit the field, rain began to wash out any hope of an outdoor practice session, one that could be enjoyed by the many Giants fans who made the journey to potentially watch Eli Manning throw darts and Odell Beckham catch them one-handed. At that moment, the weather was relentless enough to almost push the team indoors and ask the public to leave. Suddenly, the rain faded and the clouds parted to reveal the warm sun now gleaming on the practice field. The day was saved and outdoor practice would continue as scheduled.

Many Giants fans are hoping that the 2018 season ends up as the ray of sunshine after a brutal storm. Last year’s 3-13 dumpster fire resulted in the firing of their second-year coach Ben McAdoo and their longtime general manager Jerry Reese. Enter new head coach Pat Shurmur, whose offensive mind helped the Minnesota Vikings

(Photos by Christopher Birsner) to the NFC Championship game in January, and new general manager Dave Gettleman, a former Giants personnel director who was a key part in getting the Carolina Panthers to Super Bowl 50. These two have been put

in charge of turning one of the NFL’s premiere franchises back on track.

Shurmur specifically wants to bring stability back to what was a fractured locker room. In attempting to do that, he has established what he expects

The Giants are looking to make it to their second playoff appearance in three years, even after a dismal 3-13 season last year.

20180817_XAL_LNW_PG00 - 1:26August 13, 2018

to see out of his players during each training camp and game.

“I gave [the players] four words: energy, enthusiasm, expertise and execution,” said Shurmur at a press conference. “We talk frequently about leadership. A lot of guys have displayed leadership in my opinion but you don’t have to be extraordinary to be a leader. You just have to do the right thing for the right reason at the right time all the time. People will follow you if you do that on a consistent basis.”

As for Gettleman, he has made important moves this offseason, first by bringing in veterans that have playoff experience, such as left tackle Nate Solder (formerly with the New England Patriots), running back Jonathan Stewart (formerly with the Panthers), and linebacker Alec Ogletree (formerly with the Los Angeles Rams). Then came one of the most important drafts in recent memory for the Giants as they held the second overall pick.

ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter said that it was very difficult for the team to pass up on Penn State running

“He’s talking with everybody which is a good thing to see as well. For him, it’s easy to stick with Stewart or [Wayne] Gallman or even the receivers, but he’s over talking to the defensive line a lot as well as the secondary and linebackers so I think he’s a perfect fit for this locker room.”

shown flashes of that talent and is expected to be the starter come Week 1. Veteran defensive tackle Damon Harrison said during a press conference that the rookie has shown to be a perfect fit for the team moving forward.

“I think if he continues to prepare and approach the game as he has been, I think he’ll be fine,” said Harrison.

the draft that fill holes in overhauled units, such as second-round pick Will Hernandez, an offensive guard who has already made his presence known at camp. “[Hernandez] will be one hell of a player in this league,” said Harrison.

“You can see him working out there.

It’s one thing to do it in college, but to do it at the NFL level is a totally different thing. I’ve had a chance to watch him firsthand and I think he will be a really good player.”

Of course, there are a few friendly faces returning from last year. Beckham has recovered from his leg injury last season and is expected to be the team’s primary pass catcher entering his fifth season. After debate over whether to draft a quarterback, Manning remains the man at center for the team as he is hoping to get a third ring before he hangs it up. On the other side of the ball, Landon Collins enters his fourth season as the only Pro Bowler for the Giants the year before. The safety will be an important leader for a defense that wants to return to 2016 form.

While hope is in the air, the dark clouds are going to remain over the Giants until they hit the field and prove they can compete with the best in the NFL. Until then, the silver lining is that they can only get better from here.

back Saquon Barkley.

“Barkley was the best player available for the Giants and they couldn’t resist what they believed was a generational talent,” said Schefter. “[They] now have an incredible trio of playmakers in Beckham, Barkley, and [tight end Evan] Engram.”

So far at training camp, Barkley has
