The Optimistic Pessimist Brad Garrett returns to primetime with Single Parents

BY BETSY ABRAHAM

BABRAHAM@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

The only thing more distinguishable than Brad Garrett’s tall, towering frame is his deep, booming voice. Best known for his award-winning role as Robert Barone on Everybody Loves Raymond, the 6'8" actor has also lent his powerful voice to some of Hollywood’s most beloved movies, including the recently released Christopher Robin.

It seems only appropriate that Garrett, a self-proclaimed optimistic pessimist, would voice Eeyore, the gloomy and cynical sidekick of Winnie the Pooh. Disney’s live action remake isn’t the first time that Garrett has played the miserable donkey; it was a role he also took on almost 30 years ago for an animated Disney TV special.

“It’s such an iconic character,” said Garrett. “I always felt that Eeyore was not just in my vocal range, but my psyche. To come back around to the character was really amazing. I was really honored to be asked.”

Come September, the three-time Emmy award winner returns to primetime television on Single Parents, an ABC comedy that follows a group of single parents attempting to balance raising their children and their personal lives. Garrett plays Douglas, a retired dermatologist raising his twin daughters after the death of his wife, an exotic dancer.

“He’s not a touchy-feely guy, he’s very set in his ways. He believes it’s pretty much his way or the highway,” Garrett said of his character. “He’s a little more superficial than the other parents and more cut and dry. But with that comes some big flaws, especially with parenting. When you parent, it’s fly by the seat of your pants. These things don’t come with manuals and he’s learned rather quickly you have to be more open.”

For Garrett, playing a father of two wasn’t too much of a stretch.

A dad to an 18-year-old daughter and 19-year-old son, Garrett said parenting is the hardest job in the world to do correctly.

“It’s something you’re constantly learning,” said Garrett, who admits he’s been guilty of being a bit of a helicopter parent in the past.

“I’m learning now to let them fly and they’re off doing their own thing and that’s a beautiful thing.”

And though Single Parents will be keeping him busy, the show won’t keep him away from his first love of stand-up comedy. In fact, it was stand-up that put the spotlight on a young Garrett in the late ’70s.

After six weeks at UCLA, Garrett went into stand-up comedy full time, perfecting his act at

Los Angeles comedy clubs. In 1984, Garrett hit his big break, becoming the first $100,000 grand champion in the comedy category of Star Search.

That win led to his first appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson; the 23-year-old was one of the youngest to perform on the show. He soon found himself opening for Frank Sinatra and Diana Ross, as well as gaining steady voice work before earning his trademark role as Robert on Everybody Loves Raymond in 1996.

Garrett can still often be found delighting audiences and trying new bits at his eponymous comedy club in the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, where it has been since 2012.

With three decades (and counting) of stand-up experience under his belt,

Garrett said it’s a lot harder nowadays to make it as a comedian.

“There are millions more people doing it. The competition is so much more difficult because so many people are trying to do it and there are so many more platforms,” Garrett said. “Late night shows are no longer the catapult. When I started, you were on Johnny Carson or David Letterman and you have a strong set and the next day you have a pilot deal for your own show. That no longer exists. You have to have a lot more going for you.”

Garrett’s advice to aspiring comics is to follow the journey he himself took—learn as many skills as possible.

“I think the key is as much stage time as you can get. Get in acting and improv classes, do things that scare you, that’s where the growth is,” Garrett said. “Stand-up is such a wonderful craft. At the end of the day, you’re all alone up there. You’re your own director, producer and sometimes your own audience.”

Garrett is a mainstay on the stage, as well as the big and small screens, but as for a return to the show that made him a household name? Not likely.

“Ray [Romano] would never do it without the parents,” said Garrett of the possibility of an Everybody Loves Raymond reboot. Doris Roberts and Peter Boyle, who played Marie and Frank, passed away in 2016 and 2006, respectively. “I understand that. Reboots rarely work, it’s almost impossible to recapture it. The writers stopped Raymond after year nine…they didn’t want the audience to feel like we stayed around too long. I think they did it right.”

The Man Behind The Voice

BY BETSY ABRAHAM BABRAHAM@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

F

rom dogs to evil villains to giants to fish, Brad Garrett has lent his voice to a variety of characters over the last 30 years. And while all his characters have been different, they all share Garrett’s distinct, deep tone.

“I’ve had this voice since I was like, 11,” Garrett said. “I’ve had to learn to love it. The voice has been good to me. It’s something I had no control over. I started doing voice-overs about the time I was doing stand-up and it’s been great, it’s a lot of fun.”

Garrett’s been the man behind the voice of various cartoons and is a regular on credits for animated Disney/Pixar movies. Here are just a few of the characters he’s given life to over the years.

Tangled: Hook Hand Garrett tested out his singing abilities for this role, where he played a “malicious, mean and scary” thug who harbors dreams of being a concert pianist. Garrett leads the other pub thugs in a rousing musical number called “I’ve Got A Dream,” where he admits that though he does “like breaking femurs, you can count me with the dreamers, like everybody else, I’ve got a dream.”

Garrett was the voice of Hook Hand (center) in Tangled.

Ratatouille: Chef Auguste Gusteau Garrett donned a thick French accent to play the ghost of Chef Gusteau, a renowned and talented chef who lives by the motto that “anyone can cook.” Though his appearances in the movie are minimal, his character looms large throughout the plotline.

Christopher Robin: Eeyore Brad Garrett seems almost like he was born to play Eeyore. He’s played the dismal donkey twice, most recently in Disney’s live action version of Christopher Robin, which is currently in theaters. Eeyore, who is so sad it’s funny, is a character that Garrett says is not only in his vocal range but in his psyche.

Finding Nemo, Finding Dory: Bloat Garrett went gruff to play Bloat, a porcupine pufferfish who lives in Philip Sherman’s office tank.

Friendly but easily agitated, some of Bloat’s best moments come from when he’s scared or upset, causing him to puff up and float away.

Night at the Museum: Easter Island Head Garrett’s voice took on an even deeper bass for this role, which found him taunting Ben Stiller and speaking in rhymes in his quest to find some bubble gum.

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

As a wholly American art form, jazz has had a hard time gaining a foothold on Long Island. So much so that you can count the places on one hand that give fans a chance to enjoy the genre in a live music setting. Which makes the creation of The Jazz Loft such a crucial and necessary occurrence.

Located in Stony Brook, The Jazz Loft recently celebrated its second anniversary this May. Built on the site of what had been The Suffolk Museum and The Garden Exchange, this nonprofit exists where jazz can be performed, preserved and learned about. Tom Manuel is the president and founder of The Jazz Loft. For him, the existence of an entity like this is crucial that people from all walks of life have access to what he considers one of our country’s greatest cultural resource.

“Before we started, we said if it was going to exist, it was going to have to to meet needs in the community. So we created music programming for individuals with special needs—autism or different things. We have this wonderful programming where we offer sensory-friendly concerts and workshops for special needs kids. We

Never Met, Never Forgotten

BY CHRISTOPHER BIRSNER

CBIRSNER@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

A

s ESPN’s lead NFL insider, Adam Schefter’s unwavering ability to be among the first to break a news story before anyone else is admired by many in the journalism field. His collection of books, from memoirs cowritten by Denver Broncos legends to a novel looking at the history of football at the University of Michigan, shows how much knowledge and love he has for the sport. However, in his newest memoir, The Man I Never Met, Schefter takes readers off the field and into his personal life to tell the story of a man who has left a great impact on him and his family: Joe Maio.

“Joe was a golden boy, and I mean that in the most complimentary way possible,” said Schefter. “He was smart, handsome, successful, family-oriented. Really successful at work. Beloved

by his friends and family.”

That description of Maio, a resident of Roslyn Harbor, would have you think Schefter had known Maio all his life. But before Schefter knew of his existence, Maio was killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001. He was a director of equity derivatives at Cantor Fitzgerald and worked on the 105th floor in the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Maio is survived by his wife, Sharri, and his then 15-month old son, Devon. He was 32 years old.

Schefter would not know of Maio’s existence until 2006, when he went on a blind date with Sharri. The two continued dating and were later married in June of 2007. The couple is still married today and have spent those 11 years raising two children together: Devon, who is now 18 years old, and the daughter they had together, Dylan, who is now 9-years old.

“I am living in his [Joe’s] house, married to his wife, I’m raising his

son, his parents are my in-laws,” said Schefter. “I was probably more worried to meet his parents than Sharri’s parents to be honest with you. Anyone who has ever met their partner’s parents, that’s certainly a nerve-wracking experience, but that was especially so with Joe’s parents.”

On the 15th anniversary of 9/11 in 2016, ESPN aired a piece on their television network narrated by Schefter about this story, which had interviews with Sharri and Joe’s father, George. The willingness of Schefter to tell the story to the public came with the endorsement and encouragement of Sharri.

“I wasn’t planning on doing the TV piece until she kind of prodded me that we should try to honor Joe publicly,” said Schefter. “Just how well my wife handled that and how great the ESPN producer who did the piece was, I mean that piece really resonated with people and they deserve all the

praise.”

According to Schefter, it was Sharri who, about seven or eight years ago said that while he talks so much publicly about her life, he doesn’t talk about the fact that she is a widow.

“I said ‘Well, I was trying to respect your privacy, but if you want me to, I will,’” he recalled.

The reaction to the piece was substantial and positive, with Schefter getting plenty of messages from people reacting to the story, and the fact he was able to honor Joe nationally meant a lot to his wife, his son and Joe’s family. Among the reactions was someone telling him that he should write a book.

The Viscardi Center Names Campus

BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF editorial@antonmedaigroup.com

The Viscardi Center—a network of nonprofit organizations providing a lifespan of services that educate, employ and empower people with disabilities—announced last week that it has formally named its Albertson-based campus to honor the generosity and leadership of long-time supporters Michael and Jocelyn Pascucci and their family.

The campus will now be known as “The Pascucci Family Campus of The Viscardi Center” to commemorate three-generations of commitment.

John D. Kemp, The Viscardi Center’s president and CEO, made the announcement before the Pascucci family, board members, and staff during a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the unveiling of a campus sign bearing the new name.

Noting the profound difference The Viscardi Center has made on the disability community over the course of several decades, Kemp thanked the Pascucci family for tirelessly

Restaurateur Robert Franceschini makes community contributions through legacy of late wife

BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF editorial@antonmediagroup.com

It was 1985 when prominent Long Island restaurateur Robert Franceschini, who had earned an outstanding reputation as a talented young New York City chef, launched Piccolo’s where his wife, Debra Ann worked side-by-side with him to establish their genuine family Italian restaurant. Between Franceschini’s culinary skills and Debra Ann’s warm hospitality, many Long Islanders discovered Piccolo’s.

Franceschini and Debra Ann’s two sons, Robert Jr., and Jim began working in the restaurant to make Piccolo’s a true family affair.

Unfortunately, Debra Ann passed away at age 59 in 2006. Together with his children and family members, Franceschini has seen to it that his wife lives on through a series of community fundraisers.

The Debra Ann Franceschini

Golf Classic was held on Aug. 6 at Hempstead Country Club to benefit a 50-year-old Garden City-based nonprofit organization, Life’s WORC/ The Family Center for Autism. About $30,000 was raised at the event.

Life’s WORC/The Family Center for Autism provides a variety of services to some 2,000 people in the developmental disabilities community, and about 200 people with autism.

In September, The Family Center For Autism, located at 1517 Franklin Ave.) will be recognizing Debra Ann Franceschini. Chef Robert will be preparing a spectacular lunch with Italian delicacies for people with autism and their family members.

“Through this fundraising and community outreach, this is the spirit of Debra Ann,” said Franceschini.

“She always loved getting involved, participating and helping out.”

Lessons From The Field

I

n recent years I have written about concussions in youth sports in this space, with a special focus on Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), a progressive degenerative disease of the brain that is the result of repetitive brain trauma. This was something I knew nothing about in my teenage

years. As a high school and college football player in the 1960s and ’70s, using one’s head as a battering ram and shock absorber was expected.

Beyond the discovery of CTE and what it has generated in the way of much-improved player safety, August never fails to evoke memories of twice-daily summer practices when guys like me went to “training camp” before school started.

Training camp lasted about two weeks. It was usually hot out. They were two weeks that felt like a year.

Those were the make or break days of my youth. No one was cut from the team as long as they showed up, but many did not last.

The rawest depiction of a brutal summer football camp can be found in the book The Junction Boys by Jim Dent. The subtitle of the book is: How Ten Days in Hell with Bear Bryant Forged a Championship Team. Although I never went through anything quite like the Junction Boys

did, it seems that all high school and college football players have similar war stories about summer camp.

I’m not about to rehash what I’ve since learned since the discovery of CTE and the need for protective measures or share stories from my summer football camp days.

However, at the risk of being cliché, there are some important lessons I learned from playing football.

As we round out another August, I thought I’d share a few of those lessons here. Most have served me well. Some have a downside.

showing up is half the battle. But don’t just show up; be there on time.

In football there were serious consequences for being late, but losing the respect of one’s peers eclipsed them all.

Hard work: Know that when

you are working hard, there are others working just as hard and others who are not. Push yourself to surpass your opponents and inspire your teammates.

Stoicism: Keep your head up.

Push through disappointment and injuries. This is mostly a good trait, but it can also prevent you from seeking the support you need when you really need it, physically and emotionally. Vulnerability is not a lesson I learned in football.

4

Humility: Enjoy success but don’t be boastful. Have gratitude for all those who helped to support your success.

Perseverance: Never give up. It

is what your adversaries expect.

By pushing through missteps and setbacks you learn what it takes to succeed and that your capacity to overcome failure is greater than you anticipated.

Dependability: It is essential

that others who are pulling with you toward accomplishing a goal know that they can always count on you. There is a brotherhood that forms on a football team that demands dependability.

Resilience: As the legendary

coach of the Green Bay Packers Vince Lombardi said, “It’s not whether you get knocked down; it’s whether you get up.” To survive playing football, resilience is essential.

Fortunately, these lessons can be learned in many places other than the football field. Any group activity that requires teamwork, sacrifice and shared goals generate important life lessons.

Make sure the young people in your life put down their cellphones and other tech gadgets and take up a sport, join a club or get involved in the arts, to name a few possibilities. They’ll grow into better people—and with no head-butting required.

Creating A Résumé That Lands You Interviews Have you been applying for jobs and sending your résumé out at every opportunity only to be met with total silence? The jobs are out there and you know you are capable, so, what’s the problem?

“Remember, your résumé is an advertisement of yourself, and if it is flawed, you are seen as flawed.” said Michael McAuliffe, president of Family Credit Management. “The objective is to make you look as good as you can on paper while being honest.”

The Hiring Process Beyond typos and formatting, there may be another factor killing your prospects. More than half of job candidates are eliminated from the online job search by an applicant tracking system, which filters out résumés that don’t match the job description. This means if you don’t use the right words and put them in the right order, your résumé will never be seen by human eyes.

Here is a typical hiring process for a medium-sized company which gets around 100 to 200 applications per position, according to Dr. John Sullivan, an internationally known HR thought-leader in Silicon Valley:

1 2 3 4 5

The 100 to 200 will get filtered down to around 25 applications and given a 20-30 second view.

Of the 25, they will get a second look and filtered down to about five to 10 applications.

These five to 10 are assessed and maybe tested to narrow it down to three to five.

Those three to five candidates will get an interview.

Only one person will be hired.

Perfecting Your Résumé Sixty-one percent of recruiters will automatically dismiss a résumé because it contains typos, according to CareerBuilder. Start by combing over every line, eliminating typos, inconsistencies, spacing issues and other errors.

At some point, put your résumé aside and return to it a bit later with a fresh pair of eyes or even ask a trusted friend or family member to take a look at it as well.

Be sure your résumé is in the right format for your industry. Some industries favor a straightforward listing of previous positions, others favor highlighting accomplishments and skills attained. If you aren’t sure about your industry’s résumé preferences, you can easily Google this information.

Cracking the Code Want to crack the code that will get your résumé viewed and short-listed, and land you an interview? Consider leveraging free resources designed to help. For example, Family Credit Management, the nonprofit credit counseling agency, has expanded their services to include a free résumé review service. By emailing your résumé to resumereview@familycredit. org, along with which position you are applying for or what type of job you’re seeking, you can get free feedback and pointers on your résumé from financial experts. To learn more, visit www. familycredit.org.

“Navigating the job market is never simple, however, smart strategies can help you become more effective in your hunt,” said McAuliffe.

Plunge Into Your Future

A nontraditional online program meets the increased demand for plumbers and HVAC professionals

BY JENNIFER FAUCI

jfauci@antonmediagroup.com

Hunter Botto knows a thing or two about plumbing. As a licensed master plumber for more than 38 years, Botto has served as president of Botto Brothers Plumbing & Heating of Hicksville since 1993. Now on the Board of Directors for Plumbing Heating and Cooling Contractors of Long Island (PHCC-LI), his mission is simple: to maximize the efforts to bring more individuals into the field. As high school and college students consider their career path, those who are not looking to attend higher learning institutions should consider a trade school opportunity, as the services and skills in those rewarding industries will be in demand for years to come.

Q A

As a member of the PHCC educational board of directors, what is your role?

I have served and continue as a national secretary and board member of the PHCC Educational Foundation, whose core focus is to train and support the membership of PHCC, both in plumbing and HVACR. We are dedicated to the promotion, advancement, education, and training of the industry for the protection of the environment and the health, safety and comfort of society.

Q A

Tell me about the PHCC’s eLearning program.

The PHCC eLearning program was developed by our national in-house training experts who had the vision to adapt to the needs of a younger audience. Learning the book portion of our industry online along with owner-supported field supervision, this program has filled the need for apprentices to “Learn

Q A

Why should someone consider the apprentice program?

Hunter Botto and Earn” without having the need to attend the traditional brick & mortar type schooling during the day; it can be done in the comfort of the students’ homes and at their own pace.

Students also have the ability to apply for scholarships through the PHCC which is also supported by many Industry partners.

We as the PHCC of Long Island and the industry as a whole have jobs with excellent starting pay. PHCC contractors are the best of the best and our motto is “Best people, best practices.” Also, master plumbers have a minimum seven years of experience and have passed a difficult written test and practical exam. These exams are given by the local municipalities (Oyster Bay, Hempstead, North Hempstead, Huntington, Babylon, Smithtown) for the Long Island sector. New York City has a separate license and has much more difficult process and requirements. Each local Incorporated Village also has their own requirements.

Q A

Do you find more and more students wanting to enter trade professions?

The need for properly trained plumbers and HVACR (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning and Refrigeration) technicians is at a high level, especially on Long Island. The eLearning program has made it easier for young apprentices to complete an apprenticeship program while they work at their trade-related jobs. PHCC has taken the “bull by the horns” to teach and lead the industry into a highly technical future. This industry is wide open and the opportunities are endless.

Island Drafting and Technical Institute — The College for Careers® Island Drafting and Technical Institute (IDTI) was founded in 1957, and is staffed by faculty members who have had professional and practical experience in the engineering, architectural, CADD (Computer Aided Drafting/ Design) and computer and electronics fields.

The Institute is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges, and is authorized to confer two-year associate degrees by the New York State Board of Regents.

The Institute’s aim is to graduate students who are well trained and technically qualified so that they may enter their chosen field or continue their education at the baccalaureate or higher level. Island Drafting and Technical Institute has over 50 years of leadership and experience in preparing Long Islanders for careers. By staying abreast of the latest developments in the industry, the Institute continues to provide the personal attention students need to succeed.

IDTI began life as the brainchild of Joseph P. Di Liberto, a senior design engineer at Republic Aviation in Farmingdale. Working at Republic by day and teaching by night, he started the school, then known as Aircraft Trade School, with just eight students. “Mr. D,” as he was known, handled the admissions, administration, and teaching all himself, with help from his wife, Gloria.

After several years, Di Liberto moved the school from its original home in Amityville, N.Y.,

to the location it has called home ever since — 128 Broadway in the Village of Amityville.

In June 1959, the school incorporated and its name was changed to Island Drafting School.

In March 1973, the name of the school was changed to its current form — Island Drafting and Technical Institute.

IDTI was first accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the National Association of Trade and Technical Schools on January 21, 1967, being on the first list of schools ever accredited

by NATTS. In February 1997, the school was authorized by the New York State Board of Regents to confer the Associate in Occupational Studies degree. Under this authorization, the Institute is approved to offer degree programs in computer aided drafting and design/mechanical and computer aided drafting and design/ architectural. In December 1997, the Institute was approved to offer degree programs in electronic and computer service technology.

president James G. Di Liberto has been a fixture at the Amityville campus since the 1970s. And, John G. Di Liberto, who joined the school in 2000, got his start at IDTI handing out leaflets back in the 1960s.

Forbes magazine ranked IDTI number 12 on their list of the Top 30 Trade Schools in America.

Despite the technological changes of the past half-century, particularly on Long Island, and as drafting tables give way to computers, and drafters move from drawing airplanes to designing buildings, IDTI has continued to provide educational and employment opportunities for its graduates through concentrated, highly structured programs of study that prepare students for careers. Island Drafting and Technical Institute — The College for Careers.®

IDTI also offers to industry, as well as to individual job holders, skills training to improve on-the-job capabilities. Programs can be customdesigned for particular companies, in addition to the extensive program offerings regularly available.

Though Joseph Di Liberto passed away in 2002, IDTI’s mission has been carried on by the next generation: his two sons. Current school 184878 C

Guiding Your Graduate’s Job Hunt

mployers plan to hire 4 percent more graduates from the class of 2018 than they did from the class of 2017, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Job Outlook 2018 survey. While that continues a positive trend for recent graduates, the competition remains fierce and large numbers of new graduates could face a long wait for that first career-type job.

The job-seeking process can be

• Don’t call the company after your child was rejected. “This is almost like asking the Little League coach to put your kid in the game, but worse,” Stewart said. “It won’t work, it will embarrass your graduate, hurt their confidence, and you burn a bridge with a hiring manager.”

filled with anxiety, and parents can help relieve the pressure by offering prudent guidance. That can be a delicate balancing act, employers and career advisors say, between not providing enough support and doing far too much.

“Supporting them too much financially for a long interim period is certainly not the answer; it defeats much of the purpose of going to college in the first place,” said Matt Stewart, cofounder of College Works Painting. “You want them to be independent. But this can be a tough time for the new

• Study your child’s field.

Some of the best work a parent can do is share some of the homework on their child’s chosen career. “Here, two heads are better than one,” Stewart said. “Parents should help with in-depth Internet searches on the field, its future prospects, employment boards.”

graduate. Their hopes are on hold, and they’re about to learn all about persistence and resilience. It can be a long bridge to that first big job, but the parents’ job is help them across that bridge without holding their hand.”

Stewart offers five tips for parents who want to help, but not hinder, their graduate in the job pursuit: “Finding that first job after college can be a volatile time of transition for the graduate,” Stewart said. “Parents can help in more ways than they may realize.”

• Don’t helicopter in to your kid’s interview or job fair.

There really are parents who walk their recent graduate to the lobby at the job interview or hover by the line at the job fair. “Would you want to hire someone who can’t stand on their own two feet, or hasn’t been allowed to?” Stewart asks.

“A kid has to learn to face his or her own nerves and be comfortable around people.”

• Encourage part-time work and don’t let them be too picky. “It’s a must you have them get a part-time job while they’re pursuing the full-time career job,” Stewart said.

“Getting on with learning the fundamental skills of work is huge. By working and job hunting at the same time, they’re getting a leg up on time management. A parent can help a bit financially, but too much is disempowering.”

• Set up informational interviews. Parents’ friends and work associates can provide helpful input by sharing information from their jobs and their job interview experiences. “This can be great practice for future job interviews,” Stewart said. “Plus, the graduate needs to hear different voices besides their parents.”

More Than Just Video Games

Virtual Reality opens a new world to those with cerebral palsy

BY MYLES GOLDMAN

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

Virtual Reality (VR) has had fluctuating popularity after booming in the mid 2010s; but for some people, it is more than just a video game console.

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a movement disorder that causes many symptoms, such as lack of balance, poor coordination, muscle stiffness, tremors and hearing and speech deficiencies.

Since the symptoms are so severe, it unfortunately affects a person’s ability to perform everyday tasks such as cutting their food, walking, writing and fluent speaking.

Since CP affects a person’s motor skills, it prevents them from participating in physical activities. Brett Bodi, now 28 years old, experiences side effects of his CP on a day-to-day basis, even after taking his medication.

“If I forget to take my medication, my muscles become spastic, motor skills are out the window and my muscles work way too hard for even the smallest of efforts,” Bodi said. “Even though I take my medication every day, there are some lingering effects, including weak motor skill control. For example, threading a sewing needle is not possible.”

Fortunately, VR is able to bring some of those actions to life. HTC released the Vive back in 2016, a VR headset to display a field of view almost identical to a human’s, and sensors that can be mounted on a wall that provide the player with a walking grid of 15’x15’, but can also be tracked

by sitting in a chair and using the controllers to move your character.

Bodi has a passion for video games so he purchased the Vive on its launch date. Bodi didn’t intend on buying the Vive because of his CP, instead he got it because it was different.

“It is a new form of exercise that opens up options, but my CP wasn’t the main motive behind buying it [the Vive]. Rather, the existing flat-screen games and application we use simply became stale and VR is a new medium that

Virtual reality puts those less fortunate in a world where they can do things that they only dream of. opened up fresh experiences that are more or less harder for me,” Bodi said.

Most of the popular VR games were already released for consoles such as Xbox or PlayStation, for example, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. Resident Evil, is one of the most popular video game titles of all time and when it was introduced into the world of VR, sales boomed due to the true fear factor of turning around and seeing a zombie in your face.

Even though the most popular VR games are more explicit than some people may like, it is still practical according to Benjamin Herman,

a computer teacher at the Cerebral Palsy Association of Nassau County.

“There’s been some really excellent scientific research, actually, when it comes down to actually helping students with mobility issues. The research has shown us that if you use your mind and think about the activities at hand, your coordination and musculature will actually improve,” Herman said. “It is a very interesting thing if you think about it, essentially as people think and put themselves in the virtual world, their mind and body is actually showing improvement in the real world.”

VR also has a social component to it as well.

One of the most popular games on VR is VRChat, a game that lets you play as almost any fictional or non-fictional character you’d like, which is something that the students at CP Nassau do.

“You can be whoever you want, interact with whatever you want to interact with and you see what’s called an avatar of yourself, which is essentially how you envision yourself,” Herman said.

Herman emphasized Google Maps’ street view feature and how it has VR components that benefit people with CP. “You can click on a street and scroll around and you don’t usually think of that as bizarre, but it actually is. Why it’s so good for people with physical disabilities is if they’re wondering if this place has handicapped parking,” Herman said.

There is more to virtual reality than just turning around to shoot a zombie. Virtual reality puts those less fortunate in a world where they can do things that they only dream of.

Three Ways New College Grads And Employers Can Achieve The Right Fit

BY KERRY ALISON WEKELO

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

A

s college seniors put the finishing touches on their academic careers, they’re looking forward to finally entering the workforce with those hard-earned degrees in hand.

But for many of them, the first weeks and months at a new job could prove stressful and at times frustrating as they struggle to fit into their new company’s culture.

It’s exciting to be fresh out of college and launching the career you dreamed about for four years.

Unfortunately, class work, internships and work studies may not have completely prepared these students for the pressures and expectations of full-time employment. If they fail to adapt to the company culture, you can end up with low morale on the part of the employee, and disappointment from the employer that the new hire they were so excited about didn’t work out.

Luckily, both the employee and employer can take steps to improve the odds that this first job out of college is a shining success.

Make sure this is the right fit The path to a smooth transition for an employee fresh out of college begins with the hiring process. Both the employer and the prospective employee need to feel that this will be a good fit. Otherwise, one or both parties may soon experience regret. Taking the time to find the exact match is well worth the time and energy. If you have any doubt, the answer is no.

Understand the importance of benefits A new college graduate might be tempted to grab the first opportunity and not pay much attention to the benefits the company offers. But to avoid a form of new-employee buyer’s remorse, they need to determine what benefits they consider a must and what’s not a priority for them. At the same time, a business can more successfully attract and keep the best people by offering a generous benefits package. Beyond retirement benefits, health benefits and paid time off, other benefits could include educational opportunities and rewards programs.

Put a priority on wellness It’s important that employees know that their company doesn’t only care about their work, but also cares about their health and happiness. Meanwhile, those young employees accustomed to all-night parties and Ramen Noodle diets need to understand that maintaining good mental and physical health translates into a more satisfying life at work.

If they take care of themselves—getting proper sleep, eating right, participating in hobbies that make them happy—they will perform better. Employers can do their part by promoting wellness, perhaps by offering nutritional snacks instead of donuts during meetings, and encouraging exercise.

The great thing from an employer’s standpoint is that these steps will not only help with any recent college students but also with all employees no matter how experienced they are.

Changing What The ‘Freshman 15’ Means

BY RAYNA HERSKOWITZ

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

The next step in your life is ahead of you. Starting college, whether near home or away, can be a very overwhelming time. You may be overcome with stress, but also with excitement and happiness. Big changes are coming.

But, that doesn’t mean big, negative health changes need to come.

Typically speaking, the “freshman 15” is the dreaded unintentional weight gain when starting your first year. But what can we do to avoid this?

Dining halls For many, an all-you-can-eat buffet atmosphere may be a new experience.

Don’t take this setting as a challenge, as in, truly eat all you can. Instead, see it as a challenge to stick to or create your healthy habits. First, make sure you take a good look around at all of the options and stations available. Become familiar with your surroundings. Second, try filling your plate with half fruits and veggies, a quarter protein, and a quarter healthy carbohydrates. This is a useful rule of thumb as it gives a clear picture of what our plate should look like.

Choose lean proteins such as chicken, turkey, fish, tofu or beans and complex carbohydrates with added fiber so you stay full for longer—think

whole grains. Still hungry? Have another helping of fruits or vegetables or go for seconds at the salad station.

Have dressings and sauces on the side so you are in control.

Drinks count, too Liquid calories still count, and most of the time, they are empty calories.

Try swapping your sugary beverages with water. Aside from cutting calories and sugar, this will also help you to reach your hydration goal of at least eight cups a day.

Emphasize exercise Exercise is key in maintaining your overall health, so look for new activities to get your heart rate up. Try checking out the gyms available or finding an accountability friend and setting time aside to work out. Since budgets can be a factor, remember that exercise doesn’t have to come at a cost. Many colleges and universities even have free intramural sports—or start your own. Explore your new surroundings or walk to class instead of taking the bus.

Look for helpful resources Of course, this article provides you with the very basics of healthy eating as a college student. But there is much more to it. Many colleges and universities offer free, or low-cost resources. Look at the Health Services

department and scope out if there is a Registered Dietitian available. It can help to have someone guide you through this new step in your life.

All in all, college should be some of the best years of your life. Enjoy them but don’t forget about self-love.

The ‘freshman fifteen’ doesn’t have to mean what we think it means. We can redefine the definition. Try 15 new and healthy food items you’ve never had before. Try to run or walk for an extra 15 minutes. Or try to wait at least 15-20 minutes before grabbing a second plate to give your body time to digest. The main point is, take care of yourself and your body, after all it is the only one you’ll get.

Back-to-School Checklist For Families With Asthma For the more than 6 million children in the U.S. living with asthma, gearing up for another school year involves much more than picking out a new pencil case and backpack.

Accounting for nearly 14 million lost school days each year, asthma is one of the main illness-related reasons that students miss school.

With better asthma management, children are able to feel healthy, safe and ready to learn! For a full toolkit and free resources from the American Lung Association, visit Lung. org/asthma-inschools.

To get ready for a successful school year, the American Lung Association recommends this backto-school checklist for families with asthma: Schedule a check-up with your child’s physician. Use your yearly check-up to create or revise your Asthma Action Plan, check the effectiveness of asthma medication and dosage, get prescriptions for back-up medications for your school nurse and coaches, as well as ensure your child knows how to use his or her asthma medicines.

Assess your child’s readiness to self-carry medication. All 50 states have laws that allow children to self-carry and use their asthma inhalers at school.

Use the American Lung Association’s Self-Carry Assessment Tool to see if your child is ready to carry and self-administer asthma medication. The assessment tool will help parents create a plan for children not yet ready to self-administer medication, as well as help children learn the necessary skills throughout the school year.

Set up an appointment with your school nurse. Remember to bring in your updated Asthma Action Plan and back-up medications. Take this time to sign all required medical forms, discuss whether your child can self-carry their own quick-relief inhaler, as well as deliver any special instructions when it comes to physical activities and asthma emergencies that may happen during the school year.

How’s the air in there? Take a moment to talk to your child’s teacher about asthma, what triggers might bring on an attack and what to do in an emergency -- whether that be to head directly to the school nurse or use his or her quick-relief inhaler.

This may also be a great time to talk about the air quality in the classroom. Mold, fragrances and idling buses can all be asthma triggers for your child.

Introduce yourself to the PE teacher and any coaches. Kids with asthma shouldn’t have to miss out on playing outside or participating in gym class. You can quickly put teachers’ and coaches’ minds at ease by talking about exercise-induced asthma, ways to manage symptoms and what to do in an emergency.

Don’t forget to have fun. While it may take some proactive organizing at the start of the school year, you are helping to ensure that your child is safe and active throughout the school day. Take a deep breath and enjoy a healthy 2018-2019 school year!

As I See It

Five ways businesses can help college students

BY JACK K. MANDEL

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

In 1965, I was accepted as an undergraduate student at CCNY’s Bernard M. Baruch School of Business (now Baruch College).

The campus consisted of a single 16-story building on 23rd Street and Lexington Avenue, I have fond memories of my undergraduate business education.

Ultimately, my career path led me to pursue an MBA (also at Baruch) and to teach advertising and marketing at Nassau Community College in Garden City, New York. September, 2018 will mark my 40th year teaching at this wonderful institution of higher learning. My students continue to bring a smile to my face when I enter the classroom.

Going back in time (more than four decades ago), students were equally as competitive as today to secure an entry-level position with any Fortune 500 company. Every marketing course was a stepping stone in preparation for that dream job. Then, as now, the emphasis and responsibility for achieving career success rested solely on the personal initiative of each student.

Now that I am a college educator, I have a more objective insight into the business preparation process.

Despite our highly technological advances, not much has changed for college students. They still harbor the same fears and frustrations as my generation did.

And it’s up to business to help!

I’m not talking about tutoring students in reading and math skills.

I’m not talking about donating equipment or “naming rights” on new campus buildings. What I am talking about is business taking on a meaningful role as a mentor to college students. The more globalized and employee-centric a company positions itself (e.g. Google), the greater the mystique it offers to college students seeking employment. So, to encourage students and provide them with much-needed support, I propose a five point program for your business to consider:

1

Organize a Comprehensive Speakers Bureau.

Rather than assign someone from the public relations department to handle speaking engagements, make it a company-wide program. Encourage both staff and line employees to develop a 30 to 60 minute talk on their areas of responsibility and expertise.

Use social media such as LinkedIn to reach this market.

2

Develop a Mentor/“GuestProfessor” For a Day Opportunity. The goodwill and public relations value of such a gesture cannot be overemphasized. College professors welcome the opportunity to have businesses involved with their students. It enables students to observe role models first-hand and can be particularly beneficial

to culturally disadvantaged and disabled students.

3 4

Establish a Visitation Program. What better opportunity can a student have than to visit a prospective employer for a day? Enlist staff members willing to be “shadowed” for a few hours. This field experience can be a motivator for both parties.

Offer Scholarships to Promising Students.

With the increased costs of education at both public and private colleges, businesses would be doing a valuable service for students if they worked with business departments at area colleges to develop scholarship programs. In my classes I refer to this as financial corporate social responsibility (and then some!).

Remember, in the word

“business,” the letter “u” comes before the letter “i.” When businesses give to others, they can receive much more in return.

5

Institute a Year-round Intern Program.

Cooperative Domestic and International Job Placement Programs, such as Nassau Community College offers in our many programs, has become vital in the marketplace. It’s obvious that colleges and universities throughout the United States have come to realize the importance of experience in the real workplace.

Professor Jack K. Mandel has been teaching at Nassau Community College since September 1978. He is the recipient of the prestigious “Outstanding Teacher Award” conferred by the New York State Association of Two-Year Colleges.

Why Are Some Young Adults Failing To Launch

BY JEREMY SKOW

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

M

any young people today are having difficulty transitioning from adolescence to the self-sufficiency and responsibilities of adulthood. Parents of these children who have failedto-launch (FTL) feel both emotionally and financially drained because their children seemingly have little motivation to move through life. Their kids feel ashamed and isolated while they are often criticized for being overindulgent and weak.

Young adults today have grown up in an era of instant gratification and entitlement. They can stream nearly any movie anytime they want and order just about anything on Amazon with overnight delivery. As a result, they have a lower tolerance for frustration and fewer coping skills to help them handle upsetting situations. Many have high aspirations but unfortunately unrealistic expectations about life because they lack the necessary discipline and skills needed to achieve their lofty goals.

When does it start?

Middle school students typically feel it’s sufficient to attend core subjects, do homework and be mindful

of their grades.

High school introduces the SATs which triggers thoughts of college. They begin to think about what major they will choose and this leads to the question: “what do I want to do with the rest of my life.” That is a big question. What if they don’t know? This may be one of the first real adult questions they consider.

Some may feel that, almost overnight, it is no longer acceptable to follow the masses to math, English, science and social studies. Suddenly they are expected to make very adult choices

that will have a significant impact on their future. The anxiety produced from this can cause some young adults to get stuck in the mud.

Young adults are adept at avoiding thinking about the future. To cope with stress they isolate in their rooms and implement a defense mechanism that puts off to tomorrow what needs to be done today. Not surprisingly, the most common tool for this distraction is video games. Over time, avoiders doubt if they can make it on their own, take risks or individuate.

This pattern typically remains until becoming an adult becomes more appealing and necessary to them.

Challenges Unfortunately, many young adults, men in particular, struggle with the idea of opening up about their problems to a trained professional (or anyone for that matter). Asking and accepting help from others is a major hurdle for them. Masculine stereotypes promote that real men don’t have problems, real men don’t talk about their problems and real men solve their own problems. A man’s masculinity is often called into question (in subtle or unsubtle ways) the more they open up and talk about

their feelings and problems. The bottom line is that men tend to avoid and distract rather than address these problems.

Treatment Given the multiplicity of factors interfering with a successful launch, treatment is equally multifaceted.

The family should set appropriate expectations and limits, have shortterm attainable goals, assess learning and attention problems, and create a long-term plan to help get these young adults back on track. Often, it can be beneficial for them to live in a setting with other young adults, while being partially responsible for the financial arrangement.

Individual therapy can help address doubts about their own sense of effectiveness and ambivalence about entering adulthood. Therapy can also help a person to increase awareness of emotions and the ability to communicate them effectively.

Helping High-Schoolers Prep For College Entrance Exams

will happen naturally without feeling like work.

On the math front, check out practical tools that encourage deeper understanding of difficult concepts, such as research-based books and education workbooks on topics like critical thinking, algebra, geometry and statistics.

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Whether taking the SAT, the ACT or both, excelling on college entrance exams can significantly strengthen one’s school applications.

While students need to take personal initiative when prepping for these crucial tests, families can lend a helping hand in many ways.

Test Day

Prioritizing Study Time Good study habits are important for academic achievement and will come in handy in college. They are also especially important during college exam preparation.

Ensure your student has a quiet area to study for the big day, free of distractions like televisions, squabbling siblings and social media.

A study schedule should be practical. If possible, consider giving your student a free pass from chores on days he or she takes a full practice

test—this will require several hours and be mentally taxing.

The Right Tools Mathematical coursework, testtaking and preparation require the right gear. Set up your student for achievement with scientific and graphing calculators that feature a range of high-level functions.

Remember, some questions in the

math sections of the SAT can’t be solved without a scientific or graphing calculator.

Deeper Understanding It’s not always enough to memorize materials. A competitive edge is gained with true comprehension. Fill your home with books and magazines on a wide range of subjects. Picking up new words in a practical context

The night before the test is not the time to cram. Students should arrive at the test site refreshed, well-rested and well-fed. Fatigue or an empty stomach will prove distracting. Fill up on brain food containing Omega-3s, antioxidants and vitamin E. For those needing a morning boost, consider jogging the brain into action after breakfast with a challenging article or math problem.

College entrance exams can significantly impact an academic career.

Take every step you can to ensure a maximum score.

Paying For College While Saving For Retirement Saving for retirement and college simultaneously is a balancing act that many families face. However, experts say these goals don’t have to be in competition with each other. To manage both priorities, consider the following tips.

Get started now “Your greatest asset is time,” said Mark Kantrowitz, bestselling author and financial expert, who points out that every dollar you save is approximately a dollar less you’ll have to borrow, and every dollar you borrow will cost about two dollars by the time you repay the debt. “By saving money, you literally save money.”

Make saving for both college and retirement a given with automatic monthly transfers from your bank account to your different savings plans.

Follow formulas

plan, which, according to savingforcollege.com, offers tax and financial aid advantages not available for other savings methods.

Like a Roth IRA, with a 529 you invest after-tax dollars, earnings accumulate on a tax-deferred basis, and qualified distributions to pay for college costs are entirely tax free. But 529 plans can be treated more favorably by financial aid formulas.

Maximize the employer match on contributions to your retirement plan. That’s free money, so take advantage of it. As a general rule, Kantrowitz recommends saving one-fifth of your income for the last fifth of your life.

As far as college is concerned, he says to use the one-third rule to split future college costs: one third from savings, one third from current income and one third from loans.

Don’t mix apples and oranges Don’t use your retirement plan as a college savings fund. Distributions from retirement plans, even a tax-free return of contributions from a Roth IRA, count as income on financial aid application forms.

Save for college using a 529 college savings

Look at all funding sources Make saving for both college and retirement a given with automatic monthly transfers from your bank account to your different savings plans.

If scholarships, grants and federal loans in the student’s name fall short, consider private student loans or a private parent loan. For simple, personalized loan options, check out specialists in the industry, such as College Ave Student Loans. Using technology and expertise, they offer competitive rates, a wide

range of repayment options and a customer-friendly experience from application through repayment.

Financial industry veteran Joe DePaulo, CEO and co-founder of College Ave Student Loans, says that keeping your child involved in college cost discussions is critical to avoid becoming the bank of Mom and Dad, and that parents can be very influential in setting up a student for long-term financial success.

“As a general rule of thumb, students shouldn’t borrow more than what he or she expects to earn their first year out of school,” he said.

A college education is invaluable, and with smart strategies, parents won’t have to compromise their financial future to fund it.

Putting STEM Within Reach

Area programs increase exposure to new careers, opportunities

BY KELLY MARTIN

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

Recently, there has been a trend in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields to encourage young women to pursue these types of careers professionally during and after college. While the numbers of women joining the STEM field has risen, it seems as though there are still groups that lack the encouragement and resources necessary to be able to choose to pursue that as well.

Underrepresented and economically disadvantaged populations tend not to choose to pursue careers in the STEM fields due to general lack of access to the proper education or programs that encourage exploring these career options.

Programs like the Long Island STEM Hub, We Connect the Dots, and the Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program (CSTEP) look to influence minority populations like women and people of color by

showing how STEM is important in real life, and how careers in such fields are obtainable.

We Connect the Dots (WCTD) is a program that encourages students into STEAM—science, technology, engineering, art and math—fields through facilitating engagement

WORD FIND

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your intuition about the lives of others will be especially hot this week; however, this can only really help you if their lives are connected to your own. So focus on you. What is it you can give to them, and what is it you need from them? Work on your powers of persuasion.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are well acquainted with the sort of jobs in which, if you do well, you’ll get no praise and if you get into trouble, you’ll get no help. It will not bother you to go down this path again. In fact, there’s dignity in it, as the work itself is what gives you everything -- adventure, strength, an interesting life and much more.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s a time for selfless giving, and a time for reciprocity. This week, you’ll be proactive in your endeavors, giving first but letting others know what your expectations are on the return.

Worthy partners will step up. You’ll cultivate a dynamic with the potential to serve both parties well into the future.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). New places will change and grow you.

You’ll soon become so comfortable traversing new territory that you’ll no longer give two thoughts as to whether or not you’re fitting in. It won’t be necessary to blend into your environment, only to respect its features while you learn all you can about the rules that govern it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If ever there were a week to be kinder than necessary, this is it. It will behoove you to extend something extra in the way of compassion, a gift to the world that will also happen to define you.

It’s not that you’re going for sainthood, but you are trying to pave the way for a better future.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Share your stories and ask people for theirs.

It’s the mundane experiences that will turn out to be the most interesting.

You’ll be surprised at the responses you get to simple questions. You’ve a gift for pointing your curiosity to the heart of the matter. What is ordinary to you is intriguing and grand to someone else.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

This month your talent will meet the right audience and finally your excellent work will be appreciated in both broad and nuanced terms. This would satisfy you greatly were you to slow down and enjoy it, but chances are you’ll be consumed with a new quest, one that will push your emotional range further than ever. In a sense, it’s a solar return that leaves you feeling more alive than you’ve ever been before. Worries dissolve, problems diminish, and you’ll come out of this spiritually enlarged.

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The achievement you wish for most will not be accomplished alone. The aim can only be reached through other people.

Self-sacrifice, kindness, self-censorship... these are the social skills to employ in getting this goal. It is all within your ability. You’re well liked.

Go thoughtfully forward.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re a shrewd investor these days, regardless of the currency you’re operating with. And you will operate with many different currencies before the week is over. Do your research on the project, person or financial arrangement to make sure it’s worthy of your attention, money and time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Not knowing what to do next isn’t the same thing as doubting yourself. You hesitate, not because you don’t believe in your talents, but because you’re trying to figure out the best way to use them. Better to hang back and observe with an open mind than to rush into a mistake, or worse, a trap.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). No matter where you are, what you wear professes your style and how you feel about yourself. It will be as true in your own bedroom as it is at a grocery store, a museum, a gym, a park or a ball. There’s no getting away from sartorial statements, so you may as well embrace and use them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your support group could use some rounding out.

It’s not a pressing issue, but if you make an intention out of it and quietly seek new members to add to Team You, you’ll make progress on the matter this week. The sort of people you need are knowledgeable, creative and enthusiastic. Givers only need apply.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Someone who has lived a life very different from your own (and from most of the people you know for that matter) will figure prominently in your week, subtly influencing your decisions. You may know this person socially, or through the magic of media. Either way, the connection brings out your best and brightest.

BOOK FEATURE - CONT’D

SCHEFTER from page 8A “I honestly didn’t even know that it would turn into a book,” said Schefter, whose background in journalism helped with the writing process. “I met with some publishers and there was some interest. I decided to bring in a cowriter, Michael Rosenberg, to help me out.”

The novel revolves around the Maios’ lives before and after 9/11, how Schefter tries to fill the hole that was left behind and how a family was shaped by Joe’s legacy.

“It’s a different experience,” said Schefter. “It’s very personal. It’s very meaningful. It’s a way to commemorate Joe’s life and honor him. It’s also a way to salute my wife for all the courage and bravery she has demonstrated from that horrible day to now.”

One of Schefter’s inspirations in journalism and in life is none other than author Mitch Albom, whose writing Schefter says has “always blown me away and left me in awe.”

“I was Mitch’s research assistant.

I idolized him in college and got to work for Mitch in my senior year, helping with the book The Fab Five,” said Schefter.

Now the favor has been returned, as Albom gave Schefter’s book a

Adam Schefter glowing review, calling it “A brave, inspiring story of two men of different fates, never meeting, yet proving the connectivity of life through the overwhelming power of love. A fresh and triumphant take on the aftermath of 9/11.”

The Man I Never Met will be released on Sept. 4 and will be available to purchase on Amazon and at various other bookstores. To celebrate its release, Schefter will be doing a book signing at Book Revue in Huntington at 7 p.m. on Sept. 7.

One happy family. From left: Devon, Sharri, Dylan and Adam.

KITCHEN HEAVEN

Chef David Burke brings a fresh twist to the Garden City Hotel

BY STEVE MOSCO

SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

T

he Garden City Hotel’s reputation for pure luxury has been going strong for an impressive 145 years.

And this past spring, the venerable hotel recruited a world-renowned innovative chef to elevate its dining experience to new, dynamically flavorful heights.

Chef David Burke, who has helmed some of New York City’s top restaurants over the span of his 35-year career, which also includes appearances on Top Chef Masters and an induction into the James Beard Foundation’s Who’s Who of Food and Beverage in America, opened two new restaurants at the hotel, King Bar and Red Salt Room—with King Bar featuring new American cuisine in an upscale lounge setting and Red Salt Room showcasing the chef’s whimsical approach to regional and seasonal dishes.

Besides being open for guests of the hotel, the restaurants also welcome walk-ins in an effort to spread the culinary message of Burke, a message that encompasses all that is pure and joyful in dining.

“The passion for creativity fuels my craftsmanship and desire to continue to create and build dishes, restaurants and innovate,” said Burke, whose innovations include a patented dry-aging process for steak using Himalayan pink salt.

My inspiration is to create a dining experience that is unlike any other on Long Island.”

– David Burke

“My main goal [at the hotel] is to offer a quality product utilizing as much as we could from the local bounty of Long Island, New Jersey and Connecticut.”

Burke also jumped at the chance to give the local clientele a couple of different dining options—a great higher-end dining experience at Red Salt Room; a more casual setting with the same quality of food and smaller plates at King Bar without having to make reservations; as well as outdoor dining at Patio Bar. He was also delighted to see a familiar face in the kitchen— the hotel’s longtime executive chef who stayed to join Burke’s team.

“The fact that executive chef Ari Nieminen and I worked together at the River Café gave it more synergy to seal the deal,” he said. “I have always been attracted to the Garden City Hotel because of its history and great reputation for quality.

After visiting and realizing how strong the infrastructure and the quality of the employees were, I thought it would be a great opportunity to bring the David Burke philosophy to the hotel.”

Burke’s seasonal—and flavorful—culinary style is evident across his menus at the Garden City Hotel. At Red Salt Room, there’s a raw and chilled seafood menu, an appetizer menu with, among other dishes, Burke’s signature Pastrami Smoked Salmon Carpaccio and Candied Bacon on a Clothesline, while the main courses offer inventive dishes overflowing with a high-end, yet approachable, succulence that displays Burke’s kitchen creativity. The chef’s salt brick cuts of beef top the list, with porterhouse, bonein ribeye, sirloin and filet mignon.

But the seasoned eater should not overlook

The passion for creativity fuels my craftsmanship and desire to continue to create and build dishes, restaurants and innovate.”

Burke’s slow roasted chicken, as the chef’s butchering expertise positions the dark meat on top of the white, giving the bird a chance to baste itself—assuring the white meat stays satisfyingly juicy. It’s served on a bed of local corn and sweet pea risotto. Diving into the fish menu, there’s sea scallops, branzino, tuna and salmon dishes, but the star is undoubtedly Burke’s lobster treatments—a simple butter poached option and the enthralling “angry style,” which sees the lobster doused in garlic, lemon, chiles and basil.

“My favorite meal to cook for others is family style foods, like whole roasted fish and/or birds,” said Burke. “Big platters of food. But generally speaking, Thanksgiving is one of the best holiday meals I enjoy cooking.”

Meanwhile, King Bar’s menu is packed with small and large plates perfect for cocktails and casual conversation. The small plates include chilled broccoli branches, crispy shishito peppers, Wagyu beef sashimi on a salt brick and octopus and chorizo kebabs. As for large plates, the chef offers a top-shelf dry aged burger, a decadent French dip sandwich and steak frites.

In the kitchen, chef is gregarious and patient with his staff—a truly great teacher, he imparts his food wisdom on others with youthful enthusiasm, but he will also turn up the heat when the situation calls for it.

“Normally I am upbeat and have a mentoring personality with a dose of prankster for good measure, but it is typically all business.

I can be very intense with my game face on.

I refer to how a coach teaches a professional sports team. At times things can be high intensity,” he said, while also preaching patience. “[I’m] patient during the training process to make sure they understand the vision and why we put certain ingredients together in harmony to create a dish. Every ingredient has a purpose. The presentation of a dish is also a very important aspect in training.”

All of the chef’s dishes coalesce to form a truly signature dining experience at one of the Island’s most historic sites.

“My inspiration is to create a dining experience that is unlike any other on Long Island, balancing high quality, creative and seasonal foods,” he said.

BY JENNIFER FAUCI

JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

T

he beard is at the height of its game. From scruffy to fluffy, men are taking more of an interest in their beards, including how they are maintained and styled. No longer satisfied with a razor and shave gel, there are a variety of creams, conditioners and oils to cater to every type of beard.

Check out these must-try products for your furry face.

Scissors Trimming and shaping a beard is key in facial hair maintenance 101.

A good pair of scissors can help with that. Beardbrand steel scissors ($44.99 on www.beardbrand.com) feature a matte finish with gold accents and an ergonomically shaped handle for easy grasp. Trim your beard with sharp shears and achieve a clean look every time.

Comb Just like the hair on your head, your beard deserves a good comb too. The name Kent is synonymous with grooming. Established in Great Britain in 1777, Kent Men’s Handmade comb set ($20.95 on Amazon) gives the bearded man versatility when combing. Eliminate dust while releasing natural oils through combing with durable, natural cut teeth that won’t pull your hair.

A must in any beard product arsenal is oil. It usually takes a while before a beard is at maximum fluff, so dealing with dry itchiness is going to get old fast. Jack Black Beard Oil ($25 on www.getjack black.com) conditions facial hair and moisturizes the skin underneath, leaving behind a citrus scent and soft shine.

Shampoo Professor Fuzzworthy’s Beard Shampoo ($14.95 on Amazon) works just as well as it sounds.

Designed as a small cubic bar of soap, this shampoo cleans the face and beard using premium natural and organic botanical ingredients from Tasmania. A favorite among beard enthusiasts, this product also helps beard growth and aids in shape due to leatherwood beeswax and honey.

Hit Records

Milestones reached by ballplayers this season

BY STEVE MOSCO

SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

The Major League Baseball season is a long, arduous journey from chilly spring baseball, through sweltering summer games and finally into frosty October nights. With 162 games, it’s no wonder so many player milestones are achieved every year.

Here’s a list of some of those baseball accomplishments realized by ballplayers so far during the 2018 campaign.

Miguel Cabrera, Detroit Tigers

One of the most dangerous sluggers in the game, Miguel Cabrera stroked his 550th double on April 20, passing Chipper Jones for 29th all time. Then, less than a week later, he notched his 1,629th RBI on April 26, passing Harold Baines for 33rd all time.

Giancarlo Stanton, New York Yankees

The Bronx Bombers’ big offseason acquisition and reigning National League MVP, clocked his 1,000th career hit on May 18, while tallying his 500th walk on May 3 and playing in his 1,000th game on April 16.

Ichiro Suzuki, Seattle Mariners

Perhaps the most consistent and well-respected hitters to every play the game, the internationally celebrated Ichiro Suzuki played in his 2,650th game in the majors on April 28, passing Joe Morgan for 36th all time.

Bartolo Colon, Texas Rangers Big Sexy himself grabbed his 246th career victory on Aug. 7, moving him past Dennis Martinez for the most MLB victories by a Latin-born player. The 45-year-old Dominican battled through seven innings for the win and is now 50 innings behind Juan Marichal for the alltime innings-pitched record.

Justin Verlander, Houston Astros

He led the Astros to a World Series victory last season and this year he is piling on the strikeout records. The ace threw his 2,608th strikeout on Aug. 9, passing Tom Glavine for 25th on the all-time list.

Aroldis Champman, New York Yankees

The smoke-throwing closer took sole possession of 39th on the alltime saves list, successfully closing his 234th game on Aug. 14.

Noah Syndergaard, New York Mets

Though he has faced yet another injury-plagued season, Noah Syndergaard earned his 500th strikeout on Aug. 1.

Jose Reyes, New York Mets

The former superstar speedster turned MLB journeyman returned for a second go-round with the Metropolitans in 2016 and though his jets have cooled over the years, there is no denying that Reyes has had a more-than-respectable career. On July 25, Reyes stole his 517th base, passing Jack Doyle for 32nd on the all-time list. Earlier in the season, Reyes played in his 1,800th game and prior to that, he belted his 2,100th hit on April 29.

Manny Machado, Los Angeles Dodgers

The soon-to-be highly coveted free agent paid immediate dividends for the Dodgers after they acquired the third baseman at the 2018 trade deadline. The power hitter notched his 200th double on Aug. 7, before slugging his 1,000th hit on Aug. 10.

Albert Pujols, Los Angeles Angels

The Angels’ slugger notched his 3,000th career hit early in the season, reaching the plateau on May 4 against the Seattle Mariners and on July 28, he hit number 3,061, passing Craig Biggio for 22nd all time.

Pujols’ 600th career homer last season, made it clear he was going to pass multiple players this year—and he did just that, hitting his 631st homer on July 16, earning a spot as sixth on the all-time list passing Ken Griffey Jr. He also passed Griffey on the games-played list on Aug. 4.
