Elvis Presley’s Lasting Legacy

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

‘‘

DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

The image is one thing and the human being is another. It’s very hard to live up to an image, put it that way.

—Elvis Presley

E

’’

lvis Aron Presley ignobly left this mortal coil on Aug. 16, 1977. During his 42 years on Earth, Presley went from being a poor, white southern kid to an entertainer whose influence not only shook the entertainment world to its core, but had a seismic effect on the issues of youth culture, race and sexuality.

Presley was dubbed the King of Rock and Roll, a title that stirred up quite a bit of controversy (both pro and con), given the number of black performers who were blending country and rhythm and blues (Roy Brown, Louis Jordan) before Presley cut a lick at Sam Phillips’ studio or around the same time (Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Fats Domino).

And while he was unfairly denigrated for stealing black culture, during his life, he was quick to credit the influence of gospel, blues and soul artists who held sway over him, an assertion backed up by a number of black entertainers including James Brown, Jackie Wilson, Al Green, Sammy Davis, Jr. and B.B. King.

His musical legacy, based on his fusion of rhythm and blues, country and pop, made him one of the most commercially successful and highly consequential artists of the 20th century. He has sold upwards of 600 million records globally, won three Grammy Awards and has been inducted into a number of halls of fame.

Four decades after his death, Presley’s prevalence has resonated as recently as the Country Music Channel (CMT) producing the series Sun Records earlier this year with actor Drake Milligan playing the role of young Elvis.

So it’s no surprise that in this issue of Long Island Weekly, we are running pieces centering on Elvis Presley in film, the King’s dietary habits, seminal recordings that music fans should check out, an interview with premier Elvis tribute performer Shawn Klush, in addition to Elvis in pop culture, 42 things you didn’t know about The King and a breakdown of Elvis’ top albums.

DINING

The King’s Rockin’ Menu

BY STEVE MOSCO

SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

E

lvis Presley’s status as “King of Rock ‘n’ Roll” was largely based on his ability to send girls into fits of desire with a twitch of his hips—but it was Elvis’ proclivity for king-sized portions of fatty foods that made him the “King of Comfort Food” to gluttons everywhere.

Historically documented with eyewitness accounts, photographs and words from Presley himself, Elvis’ menu of favorite foods reads like the final meal on the Titanic, if the Titanic was permanently docked in a podunk town somewhere in Missouri. Elvis had a burning love for food, and he should be celebrated for it.

Deep-diving into that menu reveals heavyweights like the iconic grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich, bacon-wrapped “party meatballs,” barbecue bologna, fried pickles, old-fashioned meat loaf, biscuits fried in butter, banana pudding and the

monstrous Fool’s Gold Loaf, just to name a few.

The Fool’s Gold Loaf is the devil in disguise that sees Elvis go off the deep end. To construct this biological calamity of a sandwich, split a loaf of Italian or French bread (dealer’s choice) long ways and slather the outsides with butter (or margarine), then bake the two halves until golden brown. Pull the bread out of the oven and dig out the white part to create bread canoes.

On the bottom half, spread an entire jar of peanut butter. On the top, empty an entire jar of grape jelly (though Elvis preferred blueberry preserves). But you’re not done yet— stick a full pound of crispy bacon onto the peanut butter half, and close the sandwich up.

What you’re left with is an 8,000-calorie bomb that legend has it Elvis once chartered a private jet to Colorado to obtain one lonesome night.

Only fools rush in to that sandwich.

Instead, start with the classic grilled

Digging Into The King’s Music

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

E

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

lvis Presley may have passed away at the age of 42, but the enormity of his canon is staggering and why shouldn’t it be?

Presley was and continues to be RCA Records’ biggest cash cow, even after the label eventually was absorbed and merged with rival Sony in 2004. The following are good touchstones to start with while delving into the man’s musical past.

Elvis Presley (1956)

The self-titled debut that came on the heels of Presley being signed away from Sun Records helped light the fuse for the great rock & roll revolution that was being staged by Presley peers both black (Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Little Richard) and white (Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly, Carl Perkins). Comprised of songs recorded at two recording dates and some leftover Sun sessions, a trove of seminal cuts including “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Blue Moon” and “I Want You, I Need You, I Love You” reflect Elvis’ adroit handling of rockabilly, R&B, blues, pop and country. The album cover also inspired the artwork for another seminal recording—the Clash’s 1979 opus London Calling.

TREE SERVICE FREE ESTIMATE • TREE REMOVAL • LAND CLEARING • STUMP GRINDING • PRUNING

50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can’t Be Wrong: Elvis’ Golden Records, Vol. 2 (1959)

Released during Elvis’ Army stint, this not only rocks a seminal album cover, but found Elvis leading the way for the earliest example of rock and roll hits collections. Among the gems you’ll find here are “Don’t,” “Wear My Ring Around Your Neck,” “I Got Stung” and “I Need Your Love Tonight.” Grab up Elvis’ Golden Records (1958) and Elvis’s Golden Records, Vol. 3 (1964) to complete a perfect trifecta of Presley manna.

From Elvis In Memphis (1969)

Equal parts redemption and rejuvenation, this studio outing represented a comeback for Elvis, who spent most of the 1960s recording banal soundtracks for equally cheesy films. Presley temporarily cut svengali Colonel Tom Parker out of the creative process in favor of renowned Memphis producer Chips Moman and sank his teeth into substantial material he’d wanted to record including rock-solid readings of “Only the Strong Survive,” “Long Black Limousine,” “Gentle On My Mind,” “Wearin’ That Loved On Look,” “True Love Travels On a Gravel Road,” “Any Day Now” and “In the Ghetto.”

Elvis in Person at the International Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada (1970)

Arguably Elvis’ best live album, the initial running time is roughly around 36 minutes, but features Presley leading a crack band featuring guitar god James Burton and the harmonies of the Sweet Inspirations gilding stellar versions of “Hound Dog,” “Suspicious Minds” and closing cut “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” Also recommended are On Stage (1970), As Recorded at Madison Square Garden (1972) and Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite (1973).

The King of Rock’n’Roll: The Complete 50s Masters (1992)

POLICE, FIRE, SENIOR DISCOUNT

WE'LL MEET & BEAT ANY PRICE

This monstrosity of a 5-CD set is the complete package that includes a 48-page booklet annotated by renowned Elvis biographer Peter Guralnick and features 140 tracks including all released A- and B-side Sun singles alongside a broad cross-section of his RCA sides. Those not willing to dive into this big of a musical commitment but are looking to delve into this era of Presley’s catalog are directed to Sunrise (1999) and a pair of 1959 releases—For LP Fans Only and A Date With Elvis.

Cirque Du Soleil’s OVO Transports Audiences

BY BETSY ABRAHAM

babraham@antonmediagroup.com

Bugs are headed to the Coliseum.

But these aren’t the type of creepy crawlers that require an exterminator, rather, they’re the focus of Cirque du Soleil’s OVO, a colorful and mesmerizing arena show that swoops into NYCB LIVE, home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, from Aug. 30 to Sept. 3.

While all Cirque shows are known for acrobatic amusements and theatrical thrills, each one sets itself apart for its distinct theme and storyline. OVO, the Portuguese word for egg, draws its influences from Latin and Brazilian themes, with bright, playful energy and music weaving throughout the entire performance.

The show transports guests to a colorful and bustling ecosystem inhabited by insects who work, eat, fly, flutter and play. When a mysterious egg lands in their midst, the insects

are awestruck and curious as to what it could hold. Out comes a quirky fly, who is instantly smitten by the community’s strong and vivacious ladybug. As their love story plays out, so does life in the bug world, with ants gathering food, a butterfly coming out of a cocoon and a dragonfly weaving its way in and out of plants.

It’s quite easy for audience members to feel small as OVO magnifies the beauty and intricacies of the insect world. Through costumes, makeup, set design and the performers’ acts, the best characteristics from each creature were recreated to look stunning and graceful. Jugglers pose as ants, gathering and playing with their food, while another artist takes on the characteristics of a dragonfly, executing a skillful balancing act.

Another scene features a contortionist posing as a spider to capture the attention of a group of crickets while another OVO highlight is the Flying Act, where a group of scarabs soar

A contortionist doubles as a spider during an OVO performance.

high above the stage in a stunning aerial display.

“As with all cirque shows, the theme is wildly reimagined and incredibly creative. The set, makeup and costumes are over the top,” said Tim Bennett, artistic director for OVO. “They took each bug and each act in the show and reimagined them. It’s taken what all these insects do and blown them up on a giant scale.”

The family-friendly show not only offers audiences of all ages an escape from daily life, but promotes inclusiveness. When OVO debuted in 2009, the inspiration was the environment, but the overarching theme of acceptance

still rings true today—thought Bennett notes that the show is not political.

“I hope the show resonates with people. In a world of insects, where a creature could be considered a foreigner and is eventually accepted, people can do the same things in their lives as well,” said Bennett. “Everyone walks out of the show with a good feeling, where they are amazed by the acrobatic acts and theatrics.”

OVO comes to the NYCB LIVE’S Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum Wednesday, Aug. 30 to Sunday, Sept. 3.

State Of Anti-Semitism Conference At LIU

According to the Anti-Defamation League, anti-Semitic incidents grew a startling 86 percent in the first three months of 2017, compared to the same quarter in 2016. In the wake of this increase, The Global Institute at Long Island University will host a groundbreaking conference to combat anti-Semitism.

The urgency of this event was made even more apparent by the White Nationalist protest in Charlottesville, VA that erupted in violence.

The conference, “The State of Anti-Semitism: Local and Global,” will bring national and international leaders together to collaborate with key regional leaders on effective strategies to identify, confront and overcome anti-Semitism in communities and abroad. Led by former Congressman Steve Israel, chairman of the Global Institute at LIU, the conference will be held at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts on Wednesday, Sept.

13, from 4:30 to 9:30 p.m.

The event will be headlined by Dr. Deborah Lipstadt, the Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish History, and one of the world’s most respected Holocaust historians and anti-Semitism experts.

Lipstadt was recently portrayed in the 2016 film Denial, which was based on her extensive work in combating Holocaust denial and anti-Semitism.

Ambassador Dani Dayan, consul-general of Israel in New York, will provide opening remarks.

There will also be a panel of local law enforcement leaders talking about what we can do to protect communities, including Taryn A. Merkl, assistant U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York,

chief of civil rights for the criminal division; Madeline Singas, Nassau County district attorney and Suffolk County Police Commissioner Timothy Sini. Representatives of the Anti-Defamation League will also present updated information.

The goals of the event are to assess the state of anti-Semitism throughout the world and throughout our region, and to work with law enforcement to identify best practices and better partnerships to improve safety for Jewish institutions in our communities on Long Island.

Event sponsors include NYCB Live, Home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Counter Extremism Project and Bruce Pergament.

The event is free and open to members of the public. RSVP is required to attend the event; call 516-299-2560 or emailing Harrison Feuer at harrison.feuer@liu.edu.

The Most Important Meal Of The Day

BY WON JUNG

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

We’ve all heard it before: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Whether from parents, teachers or anyone, really, this phrase is ubiquitously used to get sleepy children to eat before a day of school. But how much truth is there behind this statement?

Well, a lot, actually, according to registered dietitian, Laura Burak who said, “I do think [breakfast] is the most important meal of the day because if you dissect the word, it’s saying break the fast.” Burak said. “When you’re sleeping for sometimes seven, eight, nine hours, [even more for] a child who is closing in on at least ten or eleven hours of sleep, you haven’t had any nourishment at all overnight. Food really is fuel, so to not eat in the morning is for your body to not work to its utmost potential.”

The nutrition expert compared heading into the day without a proper breakfast to heading out for a road trip without a full tank of gas. Things may seem fine at first, but eventually, your lack of fuel will catch up with you.

To combat an empty tank, Burak recommends eating within an hour of waking up to give your metabolism a kick start and escape entering starvation mode. But just as important as the timing of your breakfast is your food selection.

A balanced first meal of the day should include a mix of healthy carbohydrates and protein. For healthy carbohydrates, high-fiber whole grains are a great option as they provide energy when you made

need it most. To top it off, pair your morning carbohydrate with a clean protein for a complete meal.

Some quick and easy examples of quality breakfasts are whole-grain toast or oatmeal with a hard-boiled egg or a low-fat dairy product like a yogurt for your morning protein fix.

For children who want a little more flavor, a simple solution is to complement the day’s carbohydrate-of-choice with a jam or fruit. It’s always better to sweeten a plain food yourself than to purchase a pre-packaged sugar-laden version, according to Burak.

She also advised staying away from having a diet that is too carbohydrate-heavy in the morning. For example, a daily regimen of just fruit or juice in the morning contains only carbohydrates and lacks protein and fiber which will lead to overly quick digestion and an incomplete meal.

As such, finding protein from foods like nuts, peanut butter, or even turkey can drastically change the long-term effects of your breakfast.

In terms of drinks of choice, “everybody should

August Is National Immunization Awareness Month

BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Nassau County Health Commissioner Dr. Lawrence Eisenstein reminds parents that updating their children’s vaccinations should be added to their back-to-school list. Vaccines offer the best known protection against many life-threatening and debilitating diseases.

In addition to the state-required immunizations for day care settings, schools and health care providers, the following are recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Family Physicians, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: influenza, rotavirus, hepatitis A and human papilloma virus vaccines.

“Nassau County continues to see cases of vaccine-preventable diseases, including mumps and pertussis,” added Eisenstein.

“Protecting our children from

be drinking water,” Burak emphasized. “We’re all chronically dehydrated. I would recommend first and foremost water, but an unflavored seltzer or herbal tea is just as good.

For kids, some of them like milk.

That’s fine too if they like milk, but kids should be sticking with water and a low-fat milk.”

Last but certainly not least, how much should we be eating for breakfast? Burak said that, in general, you should trust your

preventable diseases will keep them healthy and in school.

Vaccines are recommended throughout our lives and are a proven and successful public health tool in protecting society from many of these serious diseases.”

Vaccines are recommended for infants, children, teenagers and adults based on many different factors including age, health conditions, lifestyles, occupation and travel. Vaccination is a critical step in protecting those who are most vulnerable to illness—infants and young children, the elderly and those with chronic conditions and weakened immune systems.

Visit the New York State Department of Health website at www.health.ny.gov/prevention/immunization or contact the Nassau County Department of Health Immunization Hotline weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. at (516) 227-9416 for more information about immunizations. body when it comes to this because people often overeat as they try to finish their plates. Rather, the smarter way to eat is by listening to your body. Self-regulation is extremely important, especially for children who are learning to get in touch with their bodies.

“I tell [people] to try to never be starving and never feel too full,” Burak explained. “You want to feel satisfied.

If there’s a scale of 1-10, you want to be more like a seven instead of a 10.”

Take these tips to heart and the rest of your day will thank you.

CHILDREN ARE THE HEART OF THE SCHOOL

Learning doesn’t have to be dull to be of value. It doesn’t have to be stressful to be outstanding. It does need to be relevant, engaging, joyful and challenging enough to bring learners to their own growing edges, wherever they may be.

At Westbury Friends School, in addition to providing an intellectually challenging and engaging learning environment, the faculty takes a whole child approach that aims to inspire in each of their students a lifelong love of learning that goes beyond the acquisition of skills and information; students are taught to ask thoughtful questions in the spirit of

curiosity, intellectual integrity and creativity. They also learn to resolve conflicts peacefully through purposeful listening. Students explore and embrace cultural, religious, personal and economic diversity through studies of their local and global communities, and through the daily interactions with peers who are both similar and different from one another. Through active service learning experiences in their own communities and around the globe, students develop a sense of responsibility as stewards of the earth, and caring citizens of the world.

Call us to arrange a tour. See the learning in action, feel the joy.

Seven Ways To Make Your School Year More Sustainable As students across the country begin a new school year, parents, teachers and administrators are encouraged to incorporate sustainability practices whenever possible with seven back to school tips.

Practice one of these useful tips as students, teachers and schools begin the new school year:

1Repurpose

Before starting the new school year, sort through old supplies.

Many from last year can be reused, repurposed or donated.

2 Empty, Clean & Dry

Always make sure your recyclables are empty, clean and dry before tossing them in the blue recycling bin.

3

Volunteer Find out if your school has a

recycling program, and volunteer. If not, team up with administrators and teachers to start a recycling program that works for your school.

Back to school time is a great opportunity to both identify and minimize the impact of individual activities on the local environment. For example, according to the

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), food waste is the second largest category of municipal solid waste and is a contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Based on USDA calculations, approximately 31 percent of all food at home and school goes uneaten, and is eventually discarded. By incorporating sustainable practices at home and school, parents, teachers and administrators can instill sustainable behaviors in students that can be carried forward throughout their life.

4 Plan 5 Buy Smart 6 Reuse

Make a list before you shop for school supplies to limit impulse buying.

Purchase and use supplies made from recycled or reused products.

Bring drinks in a thermos or reusable water bottle and be sure to recycle milk cartons, bottles or other recyclable containers.

7 Pack it Up

If your child brings their lunch to school, send reusable containers and carry them in a reusable bag or lunch box.

Congressional Coding App Challenge U.S. Representative Kathleen Rice announced that New York’s fourth district will participate in the 2017 Congressional App Challenge, a contest designed to encourage high school students to learn how to code and create their own software applications for mobile devices or tablets. The Congressional App Challenge is open to all high school students who live or attend school in the district (there is no age minimum; students below high school age are also eligible). Whether they’re experienced coders or want to learn for the first time, any creative students with an idea for their own app can apply as an individual or in teams of up to four. The contest is open until Nov. 1, 2017. Winners will be selected by a panel of judges, and their apps will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol. See below for further details on eligibility, how to enter, and everything else students will need to get started.

In 2016, four students from Mineola High School won the contest with their app, Ciao Chow, which helps senior citizens and people with disabilities and emotional difficulties find dogs in need of care or adoption. One of the judges noted that such an app had the potential to be used as a therapeutic tool in the future.

“The Congressional App Challenge is an excellent opportunity to get young people in our district excited about coding and help them develop computer-based skills that are becoming essential in the 21st-century economy,” said Rice. “I encourage any interested students in our

School Bus Safety Tips

It’s back to school time and Nassau County Police Department would like to issue some school bus safety tips for motorists and students.

• Do not distract the driver.

• Never stand on a moving bus.

• Obey the driver.

• Speak in a low voice.

• Never stick anything out the window—arms, legs, head, book bags, etc.

Facts about school bus safety: • The most dangerous part of the school bus ride is getting on and off the school bus.

• Pedestrian fatalities (while loading and unloading school buses) account for approximately three times as many school bus-related fatalities, when compared to school bus occupant fatalities.

• The loading and unloading area is called the “Danger Zone”.

• The “Danger Zone” is the area on all sides of the bus where children are in the most danger of not being seen by the driver (ten feet in front of the bus where the driver may be too high to see a child, ten feet on either side of the bus where a child may be in the driver’s blind spot, and the area behind the school bus).

• More than half of the pedestrian fatalities in school bus-related crashes are children between five and seven years old. Young children are most likely to be struck because they hurry to get on and off the bus; act before they think and have little experience with traffic, assume motorists will see them and will wait for them to cross the street and don’t always stay within the bus driver’s sight.

• Studies have shown that many

Motorists should:

drivers illegally pass stopped school buses that are loading/ unloading students.

Students riding a school bus should always: • Arrive at the bus stop five minutes early.

• Stand at least five giant steps (10 feet) away from the edge of the road.

• Wait until the bus stops, the door opens, and the driver says it’s okay before stepping onto the bus.

• Be careful that clothing with drawstrings and book bags with straps or dangling objects do not get caught in the handrail or door when exiting

the bus.

• Walk in front of the bus; never walk behind the bus.

• Walk on the sidewalk or along the side of the road to a point at least five giant steps (10 feet) ahead.

• Be sure the bus driver can see you, and you can see the bus driver.

• Stop at the edge of the bus and look left-right-left before crossing.

• Tell the bus driver if you drop something beside the bus. Should you try to pick it up, the bus driver may not see you and drive into you.

During the school bus ride: • Always sit fully in the seat and face forward.

• Be aware it is illegal in every state to pass a school bus stopped to load/ unload students.

• Know and understand laws governing motorist’s driving behavior near a school bus.

• Learn the “flashing signal light system” that school bus drivers use to alert motorists if they are going to stop to load/unload students.

• Begin moving only when the red flashing lights are turned off, the stop arm is withdrawn and the bus begins to move.

• If you are convicted of failing to stop for a school bus, you could face the following penalties: 5 points on your license; fine of up to $400; $80-$85 surcharge; up to 30 days in jail.

• Watch out for young people who may be thinking about getting to school, but may not be thinking about getting there safely.

• Slow down. Watch for children walking in the street, especially if there are no sidewalks in the neighborhood. Watch for children playing and gathering near bus stops.

• Be alert. Children arriving late for the bus may dart into the street without looking for traffic.

Autism And After School Programs

BY ALISON GILBERT

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Research has shown that children with autism benefit from social interaction with their neurotypical peers. One of the many benefits of developing after school inclusion programs is that they can help to foster social skills and emotional sensitivity among children with and without autism. Despite this positive result, finding an appropriate integrated after school activity for your child can be a challenging experience. This seemingly straightforward endeavor can turn into a week of phone calls across the county. After all, shouldn’t an integrated after school class with a reasonable pace, class size and informed instructors exist?

Surprisingly, many after school programs don’t offer this type of setting and some after school programs might even tell you that their classes aren’t “appropriate” for your child—a heart sinking experience for any parent.

Along with growing awareness, diagnosis and treatment of children with autism, consulting groups have slowly been established.

The goal of these consultants is to educate existing providers. In fact, consulting groups can help after school programs make the necessary adaptations to allow all children to participate alongside their peers. For education and training on inclusion of children who are on the autism spectrum, businesses can contact the Autism Speaks Autism Response Team at 888-autism2 (288-4762) or email familyservices@autismspeaks.org.

Likewise, Autism Friendly Spaces (AFS; autismfriendlyspaces.org) works with businesses to train staff, as well as to adapt the physical environment to accommodate individuals with autism. AFS works with a range of organizations and businesses (e.g., theatre programs,

hair salons and doctors’ offices). Although these programs exist, many businesses are not aware of them. Businesses also may not realize that they don’t have to make big changes to their current programs or turn away families.

Parents can help to promote and create after school inclusion programs by informing businesses that they can access consultants who can provide the necessary education and training. The next time you call your local art, theatre, karate or sports center and they suggest that opportunities for your child are not available, you can refer them to the appropriate resources.

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.

DeMille’s ‘The Cuban Affair’ Set For September Release Nelson DeMille’s upcoming novel is set largely in Cuba and has a good chance at landing at the top of The New York Times’ bestseller list when it is published on Tuesday, Sept. 19.

The Cuban Affair (Simon & Schuster) has little chance, however, of making it onto Cuban President Raul Castro’s nightstand. DeMille’s fictional portrayal of Cuba, circa 2015, highlighting the poverty of its people and the corruption of its government while offering little evidence the Obama administration’s bid to re-establish U.S.-Cuban diplomatic relations, is changing Cuba’s bleak economy and human rights record.

“If I hadn’t gone to Cuba, I couldn’t have written this book,” DeMille stated, during a recent interview, referring to the 2015 Cuban visit he made as part of a Yale Universityaffiliated educational tour. Yale initially pitched the trip in a direct-mail piece to DeMille’s son, Alex, a Yale graduate.

“When you go to a country, the whole thing changes for you. It was probably a trip I should have made years ago.”

The Cuban Affair’s main characters are 35-year-old Daniel MacCormick,

EYE ON THE ISLAND Mike Barry

a U.S. Army veteran who saw action in Afghanistan and is now operating a charter fishing boat in Key West, FL, and Sara Ortega, a 30-something-yearold Cuban-American architect from Miami who recruits MacCormick for a special mission to Cuba. Like DeMille, MacCormick and Ortega enter Cuba in 2015 as part of an educational tour group. Unlike DeMille, the two characters ditch the tour group in search of hidden—but not forgotten—assets which were abandoned by Cuban exiles and stashed in a cave when the late President Fidel Castro came to power on New Year’s Day, 1959.

“Most of the people who came to Miami when the Communists seized power left houses, factories, and huge businesses. They want their property

back, and that’s going to be a big issue as normalization moves forward,” DeMille said, referring to the real-life Cuban exiles and the Cuban government’s long-ago seizure of the island nation’s private property. “The regime is saying they have no intention of returning Cuban citizens’ property.” In much of the media coverage devoted to improving U.S.-Cuba diplomatic relations, this issue is rarely discussed.

Part of the reason for this, DeMille recognizes, is people have to be a certain age to have a living memory of a time when one of the Castro brothers was not atop Cuban society or controlling the nation’s foreign policy. Indeed, even the fictional MacCormick and Ortega were born in the 1980s so it is up to guys like MacCormick’s side-kick, the 70-something-year old Jack Colby, to offer up pieces of old-man wisdom. Colby and DeMille are both combat-decorated Vietnam War veterans.

“The people who populate this story fall into two camps: those who are

happy and hopeful about the Cuban Thaw, and those who are trying to derail it, and this is a main theme in the plot,” DeMille wrote, in a note to book reviewers who had access to advance copies of his latest work.

The buzz for The Cuban Affair is starting to build. In its starred review, Publishers Weekly said The Cuban Affair was an action-packed, relentlessly paced thriller, and added that a “line from the novel perfectly describes this page-turner: ‘Sex, money, and adventure. Does it get any better than that?’”

DeMille, a longtime Garden City resident, will be conducting a national book tour in support of this project, the first of his 20 works of fiction to be published by Simon & Schuster. On Thursday, Sept. 21, at 7 p.m., he’ll be at Book Revue, 313 New York Ave., Huntington. The next night, Friday, Sept. 22, at 7 p.m., DeMille will visit Barnes & Noble, 91 Old Country Rd., Carle Place.

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND Life’s a Beach

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are things you did that you wish you hadn’t, until you grow past that point and then you’re glad you did them -- but you grow past that, too, and you’re kind of neutral on the whole thing.

Well, the good part about this week is that no one is asking you to weigh in.

In fact, just look forward. Forward is where you’re going.

Solution: 22 Letters

© 2017 Australian Word Games Dist. by Creators Syndicate Inc.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s something that happens in people’s minds when they don’t hear from you. Think about it. You do the same thing when someone isn’t responding to you in a timely manner -- make up stories that have more to do with projection than reality. For this reason, it will be important to make sweet, sweet contact.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Most people aren’t so concerned about whether the people around them are having a good time. That’s why restaurants with waiters are so popular and people choose vacations in hospitable places. Those who genuinely desire to see others smile will have a definite advantage in almost every situation this week.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Living better will be a matter of reacting less.

The reactions are, after all, merely a response to a trigger, an echo to a sound, the follow to a call. You’ve some important things to accomplish, and you won’t be able to focus on them if you’re responding automatically to the stimuli that have typically called you back.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Just because you think something doesn’t make it your thought. Thoughts come to us from many places. Also, there are a lot of untrue things that many people believe. Stay skeptical. Take your thoughts to test, because most of the problems stem from believing untrue things. Truth makes life easier.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Not usually one to have a narrow view of things, you might still get stuck in the sticky details. These are brambles, not boulders, and yet the smallest things still need to be cleared from the path if you’re to move forward. Do the clearing and all behind you will thank you in time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your social instincts are usually right on, and this is no time to get reckless. Be a little careful with the conversation this week.

Keep social intercourse strictly positive. It only takes one negative comment or experience to kill a connection, which could mean the demise of a project before it has even started.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Someone will be assessing your contributions this week. No one likes the feeling of being judged, but there’s little to be done about it, so try not to give it too much attention. You will make the best grade when you’re really into what you’re doing, focused strictly on your own learning.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Knowing that you can’t be all things to all people, deliver what you want to, what you’re able to. If you give what you’d like to receive, it will be accepted in kind. Social luck will kick in after Thursday. Bonus: It will be much easier to see who likes you and understand the exact nature of that affection.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It will be worth your time to ponder your current psychic and spiritual position. Being sure about what’s right for you will make other things come easily. From this honest point of view, you figure out where you stand in a given situation. You might also accept that you’re in the perfect place, at least for now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Things are going well, not perfectly, but don’t obsess over the missteps, just keep stepping. The ability to stay calm when you’re thrown a curveball is what will make the difference between a miss and a good play. Additionally, you’re setting a tone or at least contributing to one -- so valuable is your team spirit.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Relationship dynamics change when new people enter the scene. Anticipate that you will be entering into touchy territory. Avoid potentially incendiary statements. When in doubt say less or, even better, nothing. As things settle in, be observant and not too quick to make a move and you’ll have nothing to regret.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

This solar return brings a growth spurt. Over the next four months you’ll wrap your brilliant busy mind around new ways of marketing your talent, making creative partnerships or learning new skills that will improve your net worth. In the early part of 2018 it will be wise to put your feelings aside and achieve objectivity.

Scientific analysis will serve you well. It will happen in May: The desires of your heart and the wisdom of your mind merge into one gleaming answer.

Elvis In The Movies

BY JENNIFER FAUCI

Week that number grows. But five of the wanna-bes are carrying heavy weaponry in their guitar cases. White jumpsuits and sideburns are the perfect disguise for an ex-con (Russell) and his former cellmate (Costner) to steal millions from the Riviera Hotel.

JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

W

hile Elvis Presley was widely known as a singer and international sex symbol, The King also had more than 30 movies under his belt. Elvis as an actor gave life to films such as Blue Hawaii, King Creole, Viva Las Vegas and dozens of other flicks. He was also the inspiration for many appropriations in Hollywood cinema as well. Here’s a list of the movie portrayals to shake your hips to.

Heartbreak Hotel (1988) When a 17-yearold boy kidnaps Elvis Presley during one of his concerts to bring him home to cheer up his mother, comedy ensues.

Directed by Chris Columbus, the movie was a box office failure, but the idea of kidnapping the King at one

Elvis & Nixon of his own concerts back in 1972 was pretty interesting.

True Romance (1993) Clarence (Christian Slater) is an Elvis fanatic and comic book nerd who falls in love with a call-girl named Alabama (Patricia Arquette). When their new romance leads to the murder of Alabama’s pimp, Clarence helps her escape, mistakenly taking a suitcase filled with cocaine. Hoping

to sell the blow for money, the lovers are accosted by the mob. Val Kilmer plays an apparition of Elvis who is Clarence’s guru throughout the film.

3,000 Miles to Graceland (2001) Kevin Costner and Kurt Russell play a pair of crooked Elvises in this flick.

The Las Vegas Strip is already decked out with dozens of Elvis impersonators, but during International Elvis

Bubba Ho-Tep (2002) Ever wondered how Elvis would behave in a nursing home? In this film, The King wakes from a coma after a freak hip gyrating accident.

Now an old man, Elvis finds himself in a Texas nursing home, where he befriends Jack, an African-American senior who claims to be President John F. Kennedy. When residents start dying of mysterious causes, Elvis and Jack work together to discover the perpetrator is the Egyptian mummy, Bubba Ho-Tep. Elvis & Nixon (2016) This film details the untold true story of when Elvis Presley (Michael Shannon) requested an audience in the White House with President Richard Nixon (Kevin Spacey) in December 1970.
