J.D. Pardo’s Ezekiel “EZ” Reyes and his fictional brother Angel Reyes (Clayton Cardena)

Mayans M.C.: A Hard Knock Life

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

uring the seven seasons it ran, Kurt Sutter’s Sons of Anarchy was FX Network’s most successful drama series in the history of the network. For the spin-off series Mayans M.C., Sutter infused significant Latino nuances into this latest project by focusing on the Mayans Motorcyle Club, the Chicano rivalsturned-allies of the title group of his prior show.

J.D. Pardo plays Ezekiel “EZ” Reyes, the lead character who is a prospect in the Mayans M.C. charter on the California/Mexico border and was drawn into gang life after a violent incident landed the hyper-intelligent college student in jail. Authenticity has always been a hallmark of Sutter’s work and for this current series, the approach has been no different.

The Jersey native tapped Elgin James as a co-creator and co-executive producer of Mayans, in addition to being a writer and directing one episode. A fellow filmmaker and former hardcore punk musician and member of Friends Stand United (FSU), a Boston, Massachusetts area group classified by several law enforcement agencies as a gang, James is well familiar with the violent world that Mayans M.C. inhabits.

“Growing up surrounded by violence—first being the victim of it and then the aggressor—I had always not wanted to tell these stories. I know that’s what people had wanted from me when I first came here.

I jumped at the chance to sit down with Kurt and pick his brain, because he’s a master of storytelling and an icon. We started talking about the roots of violence and how so much of it comes from fear,” James explained. “I know much of it came out of fear for me growing up as a really scared kid terrified of the world. All you want to do is feel safe in your life.

When you grow up in certain households and situations, that’s not an option. I found a bunch of other kids that had been thrown away too and we became each other’s safety net. So if you had a problem, it wouldn’t be your problem but it would also become my problem. So you wouldn’t have to worry about it.

And vice versa.”

James’ time with FSU was complicated. His group wound up targeting violent white power skinheads from the Boston hardcore scene and robbing drug dealers and then giving half the money to local charities before FSU amicably split apart. While most members drifted into motorcycle gangs, James and some others focused on more law-abiding pursuits that included setting up scholarships at local universities in the names of deceased FSU brethren and playing benefit concerts for charities reflecting hardcore punk culture (teen homelessness, suicide prevention, orphanages, anti-handgun violence).

Along the way, James delved into filmmaking, eventually being named a fellow at the Sundance Screenwriters Lab in 2008. The following year, he shot his autobiographical indie film project, Little Birds, which was based on him and a friend leaving their small towns to join a Boston-area gang. While Justin Timberlake was originally cast to play James, the filmmaker instead changed the leads to a pair of 15-year-old girls (Juno Temple and Kay Panabaker) as James was concerned about the film glamorizing the violent lifestyle he had moved on from. That same year, James was arrested by the FBI for an incident that occurred four years prior. He was charged

with a criminal complaint of federal attempted extortion filed in Chicago. James was sentenced to one year and one day of prison on March 8, 2011.

More than 60 letters of support were submitted on James’ behalf including letters from actors Ed Harris and Robert Redford, who James has credited with helping him turn his life around. The aspiring filmmaker served his sentence and was released from U.S. federal prison on March 16, 2012. It was an eye-opening experience that shaped his future work as a writer.

“Going to prison, I realized just how awful human beings are. As great as we are, we’re just as awful. I was still wrestling with that and learning how not to take that back into the world,” he said. “I felt so much shame because I always thought that it was just me and the world that I grew up in—what had happened to me and what I had done as an adult. I thought the rest of the world wasn’t so like that and then, having spent time moving out here—I knew there was more that I had to explore about violence and all these things.”

While there is destructive behavior aplenty in Mayans M.C., the writing also reflects a sense of being the other and characters trying to find a better way of life for their families and loved ones. Even if that means making questionable moral choices. It’s something James readily acknowledges.

“Coming out of the gate and in a proud way, this is a show about and for Latinos. What I always say to everyone is this is for everyone who has ever felt like an outsider and feels like things are going against them,” he said. “When you look at the writers, artists and actors that we have, they come from a world where there is a cycle of poverty, violence and incarceration. It’s the same message I try to get across in everything I do. We’re all damaged while trying to do the best we can and trying to love the people that we love. We’re all ugly and damaged but beautiful inside regardless of how much melanin we may have in our skin or what gender we may be.”

Mayans M.C. airs on Monday nights on the FX network.

TELEVISION

Latinos On TV

BY STEVE MOSCO

SmoSco@antonmediagroup.com

L

atino representation has grown exponentially over the years from token bit parts to entire series based on Hispanic culture. Television today—on streaming services and the mainstay networks—offers a far richer cultural palate than in year’s past. And while more representation of different diversities is certainly welcome, we have come a long way from the days of Desi Arnez’s Ricky Ricardo being the lone torch bearer for the Latino culture. In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, here are some groundbreaking television shows from yesterday and today that explored the rich spectrum of diversity.

Chico and the Man Airing on NBC for four seasons beginning in 1974, Chico and the Man starred Freddie Prinze as “Chico” and Jack Albertson as “the Man.” The show saw Albertson’s cantankerous and prejudiced character eventually accepting Chico as a member of his family. It ran successfully for three seasons before Prinze’s suicide in 1977 changed the course of the show. Producers tried bringing it back, sans Prinze, for a fourth season but it failed to maintain its viewers.

George Lopez

House of Buggin’ Another program that ended far before it could reel in an audience was House of Buggin’, which aired on Fox for less than a month in 1995.

Producers of this sketch comedy series tried to recreate the success of In Living Color, but with a far more Latino-leaning cast of characters, led

by John Leguizamo. But when the ratings didn’t immediately materialize, Fox executives approached Leguizamo to change the cast—when Leguizamo refused, the execs pulled the plug.

This Netflix program is based on Norman Lear’s 1975-1984 sitcom of the same name, with the modern iteration depicting the everyday life of a CubanAmerican family with each character finding their own journey.

It follows the story of Penelope Alvarez, a U.S. Army Nurse Corps veteran, facing a return to civilian life with her children and her mother Lydia, played by the legendary Rita Moreno.

Narcos

a.k.a Pablo This short-lived sitcom aired on ABC for a paltry six episodes and starred Hispanic comedian Paul Rodriguez in 1984. The series focuses on struggling Hispanic stand-up comic Paul Rivera and his large Mexican American family, who still called him by his given name, Pablo. The series relied heavily on Mexican-American stereotypes.

In 2002, TV Guide ranked the series number 45 on its “50 Worst TV Shows of All Time” list.

One Day At A Time

One of the more successful programs featuring a Latino family was George Lopez, which ran on ABC for 120 episodes.

The sitcom, created by and starring comedian George Lopez, revolved around a fictionalized portrayal of Lopez, working at the Powers Brothers aviation factory and raising his family consisting of his wife Angie, his daughter Carmen, and his son, Max, along with many other family and friends.

20180921_XAL_LNW_PG00-1:1September17,2018

This gritty, American-Colombian crime drama airs on Netflix, with the first two seasons based on the story of drug kingpin Pablo Escobar, who became a billionaire through producing and distributing cocaine.

The story focuses on Escobar’s dealing with other drug lords and his iterations with his family, DEA agents and various opposing forces. Season three picks up after the fall of Escobar and continues to follow the DEA as they go up against the rise of the infamous Cali Cartel.

Ugly Betty Based on a Colombian telenovela, Yo Soy Betty, La Fea, ABC’s Ugly Betty featured America Ferrer as Betty Suarez, a quirky, 22-year-old Mexican American woman from Queens who is sorely lacking in fashion sense. The character was known for her adult braces, rather unusual wardrobe choices, sweet nature and slight naïvete. The show ended in 2010.

Coming Full Circle With E A

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

ffectionately known as El Maestro, it’s a title Eddie Palmieri earned a long time ago. While his name might only have passing familiarity with casual music fans, the man is a titan in the Latin jazz world. The 81-year-old composer, arranger, bandleader and pianist not only helped establish the Latin Jazz Grammy category back in 1975 when he was a governor for NARAS (and subsequently won its first award), but he’s been recognized via numerous honors. Among them are the Eubie Blake Award (1991); Most Exciting Latin Performance, presented by the BBC in London (2002); Yale University’s Chubb Fellowship, usually reserved for international heads of state, but given to Palmieri in recognition of his work building communities through music (2002); the Harlem Renaissance Award (2005) and the Jay McShann Lifetime Achievement Award (2008).

The octogenarian is fueled by boundless intellectual curiousity and a seemingly inexaustible creative drive that yielded Full Circle, his most recent release and the follow-up to last year’s stellar Sabiduria. What started out as a number of interactive audio files available as “Palmieri Salsa Jams” in the Apple App Store instead became a full-fledged project that found Palmieri Eddie Palmieri (Photo by Erik Valind) revisiting a number of his most seminal numbers 1-4 pg Anton News Robert Moses_Layout 1 6/25/18 11:44 AM Page 1 dating back five decades plus.

h Eddie Palmieri that will feature a 20-piece orchestra and a number of notable guests including Carlos Santana and Gilberto Santa Rosa. Palmieri will also be collaborating with in-demand studio drummer Steve Jordan (Keith Richards; John Mayer) and creating a sequel to Palmieri’s 1971 underground classic album Harlem River Drive, a Latin funk milestone that also addressed social injustice faced by people of color and the people of East Harlem, El Barrio.

“I’m bringing in a gentleman named Steve Jordan and he’s going to produce it. I saw him at the Apollo and when he saw me, he got on his knees. I told him to cut it out. When I saw what he was presenting [as a musical pitch], I told him to bring me the people I need to really do the right thing,” Palmieri recalled.

“The songs [will include] ‘Broken Home,’ ‘Idle Hands’ and ‘Seeds of Life’ and the ‘Theme from Harlem River Drive.’ It’s going to be killer.”

Currently teaching master classes at Rutgers University, Palmieri is also working on a symphonic pop event he plans to stage at Carnegie Hall in a couple of years with help from Professor Marc Stasio and Conrad Herwig, who head up the university’s jazz department. He plans to form a bridge between traditional European classical music and the Afro-Cuban rhythms that are such a part of his musical DNA.

“It started with a gentleman named Frank Abenante—he’s a tremendous flamenco pianist and he’s lived in 11 countries. My son Eddie Palmieri II went to go see him play and said I had to hear this guy. [Frank] plays all my compositions better than me.

Then we met and became partners in Uprising Music,” Palmieri explained. “He’s the one who came up with the idea for the apps—I had no idea.

I’m the only Latin band that’s done it.

It’s basically the Eddie Palmieri Show.

It’s numbers people ask me for—‘Azúcar,’‘Muñeca,’‘Vámonos Pa’l Monte’ and ‘Lindo Yambú.’”

As he holds court at his favorite Bronx eatery, Joe’s Place, the East Harlem native kids with fellow regulars, switching on and off between English and Spanish. When he’s not busy busting someone’s chops, he’ll go from recounting his early days of him and his late older brother Charlie playing the legendary Latin music venue The Palladium as sidemen for Tito Puente and Vicentico Valdés to theories on economic hardship outlined by economist and social theorist Henry George in his book Progress and Poverty. But it’s upcoming projects that excite him most. One is a project called Mi Luz Mayor, an album in honor of his deceased wife produced by his son and manager, Eddie Palmieri II,

“I’m going to bring bomba and plena and everything onto a stage, along with the symphonic orchestra from Rutgers,” he said. “There is a lack of rhythmic comprehension that ran through Europe, because they didn’t know about what came out of Africa—I’m uniting that. That’s quite a task, to be able to do it with the highest degree of respect. We’ll be doing ‘Rhapsody in Blue’ and Edvard Grieg, who was known as the Chopin of the North, which is something called ‘Nocturne.’ Then there is Tomaso Albinoni.

He wrote before Bach something called ‘Adagio in G minor.’ I’m going to turn that into something called ‘La Sone’ and I’m going to do a condensed version. I’m using the plasticity of the temporal, which is rhythm, and uniting it with the great composers of the past and it works.”

Eddie Palmieri will be appearing on Sept. 24 at The Blue Note, 131 W. Third St., NYC. For more information, visit www.bluenotejazz.com or call 212-4758592. Visit www.longislandweekly.com to read about essential Eddie Palmieri albums.

It’s All In The Hips

U

no, dos, tres, cuatro! Much like the history and food of any heritage, music plays an enormously large role in Hispanic culture.

Shows like Dancing With The Stars have educated audiences all over about the different styles of ballroom and Latin dances and how different, yet similar they are in musicality and form. While ballroom is about elegance, grace and perfect posture,

Latin dances are about passion, fire and fun music to fuel each move from the toes to the hips and all the way up to the shoulders.

Read our basic history of Latin dances and see which class you’d enjoy taking for yourself at your local dance studio.

Cha Cha Also called the Cha Cha Cha, this Cuban-born dance is all about quick feet. A set of three steps moving rapidly backward and forward gives the dance its name since many dancers count out the steps as “cha cha cha.”

Paso Doble

Rhumba

A dance of romance, the Rhumba has roots in Cuba and consists of two quick steps and a third, slower step that takes two beats to execute.

Dancers use a box-like pattern to guide their movements and use slow, romantic steps with a focus on hip movements when it comes to choreography.

Salsa Heading over to the islands, the Salsa originated in the Caribbean, even though it has a strong African influence. A fun and lively dance for couples, the Salsa centers on a fourbeat combination of two quick steps and a slow step with a pause or tap.

Samba Brazilian in origin and executed in many different forms, the Samba is one of the most well-known Latin dances, especially for its role during Carnival. While individual dancers can dress in colorful costumes and perform, the dance is also for couples.

Tango It takes two to tango. A dance of seduction born in Buenos Aires, this

20180921_XAL_LNW_PG00-1:1September17,2018

dance requires surgical precision when it comes to footwork, so a lot of practice is required. The Tango has been described as both irresistible and racy when it comes to choreography, adjectives that have mirrored the time in Argentina years ago. A dance that expresses grief, passion, national pride and celebration defines the Tango. As for the Argentine Tango, a striking difference between that and ballroom tango is in the shape and feel of the embrace between the two dancers. Ballroom technique dictates that partners arch their upper bodies away from each other, while maintaining contact at the hip while the tango relies on stylized sensual moves, staccato foot steps, flexed knees and a highly focused connection between partners.

Flamenco

It began in Andalusia, Spain as a professionalized art-form based on the various folkloric music traditions of the southern part of the country. Flamenco is comprised of four elements: cante (voice), baile (dance), toque (guitar) and the Jaleo, which roughly translated means “hell raising.” The dance involves hand-clapping, foot

Three Strategies For Millennials Battling ‘Boardroom Sexism’

O

ver the last several decades, women have made strides in the corporate world, in many cases launching their own enterprises and some taking the helm at Fortune 500 companies.

Despite such progress, sexism remains a significant hurdle in business, says Phuong Uyen Tran, a Vietnamese business executive.

“Sexist attitudes are certainly well entrenched in Asia,” said Tran, who is deputy CEO of THP Beverage Group, the leading Vietnamese beverage company founded by her father.

Having her own experiences with sexual harassment and gender inequality, Tran says she identifies with the #MeToo movement that swept the United States. Not only has she had to deal with inappropriate behavior by business men during meetings, she is constantly asked when she will marry. She has even started her own #StandTaller campaign to combat gender bias and promote better dialogue between the sexes.

“It’s a real battle to strive to eliminate the structural sexism that exists in society,” Tran said. “One of

the challenges we face is that gender stereotypes start very early.”

Tran, a millennial herself, has advice for women rising up the corporate ladder.

Don’t behave like a man To compete with men, some women might believe they should act like men, which can translate into being abrasive and domineering in conversations. Tran said that’s not how women highlight their natural leadership qualities.

“I think there is great strength in a woman’s negotiating skills and ability to listen,” she said. “There is plenty of research that demonstrates how a company’s operational abilities improve when there are more women on the board.”

Stand up and be counted Tran cautions that even a woman who holds a significant position in a company sometimes can be expected to perform menial duties, such as taking notes or making coffee, especially if she’s the only woman in a meeting.

Avoid that trap, she says, and certainly don’t volunteer.

“It’s best not to offer to make everyone else a cup of coffee until you reach a senior enough position where this is viewed as a positive gesture, rather than a given,” Tran said.

Speaking of note-taking, a supervisor once asked a friend of Tran’s to do just that. She declined, telling the supervisor it’s always women who are asked to take notes and until they refuse it will stay that way. This is one example of ways women can stand taller in the boardroom.

Seek male allies In order to dismantle sexism, we need men to help.

“Women cannot eliminate sexism on their own,” said Tran, noting that more and more men are eager to do this.

Tran offers five words she calls “boardroom bridge builders”—Do I have your support?

“Those five words—do I have your support—are critical because the create unity not separation. They encourage support,” Tran said. “For

me, in the boardroom, I have found these five words to help push forward in the most challenging times.”

When it comes to gender equality, Tran does her part by ensuring that THP Beverage Group offers women the same opportunities as men.

“We have 10 senior directors and four are women,” she said, adding that her sister is also a deputy CEO, and she and Tran try to set a very strong example for women leaders in the company. “We work to boost the number of female employees overall, as well. It helps that our father has never discriminated between men and women. It did not matter to him if we were sons or daughters. He just wants the right person for the job.”

Phuong Uyen Tran, author of Competing with Giants: How One Family-Owned Company Took on the Multinationals and Won (www. competingwithgiants.net) is deputy CEO of the THP Beverage Group, a leading beverage company in Vietnam that was founded by her father.

ones Beach State Park is not just a beach, concession and fun place to go for the summer.

It is also home to many causes that host walks and runs to raise money for cancer, heart disease and mental illness just to name a few. This September will mark the 10th anniversary for Long Island’s Brain Aneurysm Awareness Walk.

The walk, which will take place on Saturday, Sept. 22, is hosted by the Brain Aneurysm Center at Northwell Health’s Neuroscience Institute, along with the Brain Aneurysm Foundation (BAF). All proceeds from the walk will benefit both organizations, which will help support essential research.

Dr. David Chalif is director of Northwell Health’s Brain Aneurysm Center as well as being Northwell Health’s chief of vascular neurosurgery. He recently received the Physician Champion Award from the award due to his devotion to secure grants as well as being an advocate and educator for

this cause.

“This is a very special year for us, celebrating the walk’s 10 year anniversary,” said Chalif. “The walk has grown steadily each year and has raised more than $615,000 over this period thanks to hundreds of participants.”

A main goal of this annual event is to increase awareness with regards to the warning signs of a brain

Long Island Celebrates The Fourth Annual Mid-Autumn Festival The Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations have been held throughout Asia for more than 1,000 years.

This holiday is a time to reflect upon the bounty of summer harvest and the fullness of the moon. The MidAutumn Festival is often referred as “the Asian Thanksgiving” because of its spirit of gratitude and its inclusion of abundant food.

The fourth Long Island Annual Moon Festival (also as known as the Mid-Autumn Festival) will take place on Sept. 23 from noon to 5 p.m., at the beautiful Planting Fields Arboretum State Historic Park, the former Gold Coast estate of the W.R. Coe family.

The festival will be filled with attractive traditional Chinese arts and crafts booths, cultural exhibitions, children friendly activities, petting zoo and non-stop entertainment.

Live entertainment, such as traditional dances and music, encompassing a variety of styles and genres, will be performed throughout the festival on the main stage.

Visitors will get hands-on experience with traditional cultural activities, such as traditional paper cut arts, calligraphy, Chinese painting, Shadow Theater play, Chinese sugar painting and flour dough sculpture and festival games. Thousands of unique Chinese traditional handicrafts will be given away as prizes for interactive games.

The third part of the festival is the Art Fair at 11 a.m. It will be the biggest and most creative Chinese art event in Long Island area with a fashion show. More than 30 local, national and international artists and exhibitors will showcase their original selection of artworks.

Sponsors will be on-site to provide an assortment of snacks. Festival food like the traditional moon cake and ethnic food will be available for purchase. Admission is pre-sale $25 per car or $35 at the gate. All activities are included with admission.

Planting Fields Arboretum State Historic Park is located at 1395 Planting Fields Rd., Oyster Bay, NY.

aneurysm. Symptoms can comprise of a severe headache, nausea, blurred or double vision, stiff neck or neck pain as well as pain above or behind the eye and loss of sensation.

This year, two of the speakers are survivors from Long Island.

Steve Calzolano, 59, of Levittown is a retired firefighter who was on a ladder doing routine cleaning of his gutters when he felt lightheaded and almost fell off the ladder. His wife, along with a neighbor, prevented him from a serious fall and immediately called 911. Calzolano was transported to Plainview Northwell Hospital where after undergoing a CT scan he was rushed to North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset as the test reported a ruptured brain aneurysm.

“It was the worst headache of my life,” said Calzolano, which is one of the many signs of a brain aneurysm.

Chalif performed a craniotomy and then clipped the aneurysm, cutting off the blood flow to the artery. Calzolano has no neurological deficits from his life saving surgery.

The Long Island Brain Aneurysm Awareness Walk will take place on Saturday, Sept. 22.

(Photo courtesy of the Brain Aneurysm Foundation)

In May, he retired from the FDNY and is looking forward to pursue his two passions of boating and golfing.

The second speaker is Ms. Mallardi, who in January was a passenger in her car with her husband when out of nowhere she experienced a shooting pain she described as a “lightning bolt” on the back of her head. The pain increased so her husband took her to North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset where a MRA revealed a brain aneurysm. Mallardi received an endovascular treatment with coils and a stent, which is another, more minimally invasive treatment of a brain aneurysm.

“You have to be thankful for every day because you don’t know what your next day will bring,” said Mallardi. “If you think there is something wrong with your body, it is important to get it checked out.”

“Due to the decisive actions of Calzolano’s wife and neighbor and Mallardi’s husband seeking immediate medical attention, their lives were saved,” said Chalif. “By sharing their stories at our walk this year, they will undoubtedly help us spread awareness about the warning signs of a brain aneurysm.

We are extremely grateful to both of them and they should be commended for their extraordinary

courage and strength.”

On a personal note, my husband, Joseph, began to experience several debilitating headaches a few years ago. We were recommended to see Dr. Chalif by our primary doctor, who after reviewing the results of the MRA revealed to us Joseph had a small aneurysm. Joseph’s father had multiple aneurysms at around the same age and family history also plays an important factor in treatment. After monitoring him for several years and with Joseph’s symptoms worsening, Dr. Chalif performed a craniotomy clipping the aneurysm in June, 2017. He literally saved my husband’s life. Because of his remarkable surgical skills, I am happy to report that Joseph is doing well and has received a clean bill of health from Dr. Chalif and his wonderful nurse practitioner, Nicole Salant, who helps run the awareness walk with the doctor.

Registration for the walk begins at 8:30 a.m. at Jones Beach State Park, Field 5, 1000 Ocean Pkwy., Wantagh, NY. The start time is 10 a.m. and the event is held rain or shine. The fee for the walk is $30, which includes the cost of parking and snacks. T-shirts will be handed out on a first-come, first-serve basis. To register, visit give.bafound. org/2018LongIsland.

including creativity, flexibility, diligence, perseverance, accountability, and responsibility. At every level, St. Mary’s balances strong academic development with experience to encourage personal growth. Exceptional faculty and staff inspire each student along their educational journey, always promoting the safe and welcoming culture that is one of the hallmarks of the St. Mary’s experience.

THE SCHOOLS OF SAINT MARY At The Schools of Saint Mary, Manhasset, students in Nursery through Grade 12 flourish in an innovative and nurturing educational environment rooted in Catholic values. The mission of the school is to empower students to find inspiration and joy as they discover themselves and learn what they are capable of accomplishing.

Small class sizes foster a more personal connection between students and faculty.

Faculty and administrators at St. Mary strives to educate the whole child – intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, socially and physically.

The use of cutting-edge technology, including campus-wide wireless capabilities, an online system that allows students and parents to access homework and grades, and school-issued iPads for every student in sixth through twelfth grade, helps teachers provide students with a strong academic foundation. At the early childhood and primary grade levels, students actively explore concepts and develop skills through an interdisciplinary approach utilizing the latest technology, hands-on learning materials, and skill-related experiences.

Students in grades 6-12 incorporate technology as an interactive tool that enables them to be independent learners while investigating research-based learning.

The St. Mary’s education is about more than just academics – spiritual values, a sense of service and the growth of faith are fostered by connecting Gospel values to all parts of the curriculum, including core academic classes, allowing students at all grade levels to deepen their moral standards

and ethics. Students learn about the tenets and meaning of their faith and how to live it joyfully, especially in serving others within the school and greater community.

The school day doesn’t end when the last bell rings – St. Mary’s becomes a vibrant after-school community as students at all grade levels participate in a wide range of extracurricular clubs and activities, exploring their talents and skills outside of academia.

Middle school and high school students gain an appreciation for the arts and develop their creativity through participation in the Fine and Performing Arts Program, taking classes in art, chorus, band, orchestra, dance or stage performance; performing arts students learn from and work alongside professionals in those fields, thanks to St. Mary’s collaboration with The Josephine Foundation. The Schools of St. Mary is also proud of its competitive athletics programs at the middle school and high school levels, which are highly regarded for both excellent coaching and superb sportsmanship.

From the early childhood students to high school seniors, The Schools of St. Mary is preparing inspired thinkers and creative leaders, guiding all students as they develop the character traits of great leaders and skilled team players,

St. Mary’s welcomes a diverse student body, consisting of students of many different faiths and cultural backgrounds, who come from Nassau and Suffolk Counties and several New York City boroughs including Queens and Brooklyn.

The Schools of Saint Mary will host an OPEN HOUSE FOR ADMISSIONS FOR GRADES N-12 ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 14 FROM 2:004:30 PM.

LIU Post abounds with opportunities for students

BY JENNIFER FAUCI

jfauci@antonmediagroup.com

When it comes time to apply for colleges, many students choose a handful of schools close to home, out of state and one or two so-called “safety schools.” But aside from dream schools or who gives the most in scholarship funds, students should truly consider their future career path and the variety of opportunities at each university as they will spend the next four years of their life figuring out how to make their mark on the world.

Randy Burd is the senior vice president of Academic Affairs for Long Island University (LIU Post) across all campuses. Coming from the University of Arizona where he led said university’s global research initiative, at LIU, Burd is responsible for ensuring academic excellence and positive student outcomes while continuing to elevate LIU as a nationally recognized teaching and research university. He spoke of the many exciting initiatives taking place on campus this year.

“LIU Post is a national leader in student-powered entrepreneurship and engaged learning opportunities.

We have eight student-run businesses, including our Browse store, which sells Apple-licensed products and our globally engaged student consulting firm, LIU-iQ, which works with universities and corporations around the world,” said Burd of the ventures that are part of the university’s commitment to empowering students through real-world experience. “Another exciting initiative this year is an emphasis on undergraduate research as it is critically important to provide students an opportunity to experience research on an undergraduate level, ultimately transitioning to a career.”

Burd noted that the Global Institute at LIU, led by former Congressman Steve Israel, brings world leaders and thinkers to campus and through the institute, LIU has hosted President Bill Clinton on campus. The university will welcome President George W. Bush to the Tilles Center next month as well and that is just one of the many reasons to consider LIU Post.

Q

I understand LIU Post was recently rated by The Princeton Review as a Top Northeastern University, which is an important milestone on the continued upward trajectory of the university. What other accolades and honors has LIU Post garnered?

The 322-acre LIU Post campus in Brookville Metropolitan area’s first Veterinary College. Tell me about that.

We are extremely grateful to Governor Cuomo for his strong support for the College of Veterinary Medicine, which will expand and connect the academic landscape, while generating new opportunities for biomedical research and jobs creation.

There are currently only 30 schools of veterinary medicine in the United States, and only three in the northeast —none in the New York metropolitan area. Despite this, New York has the highest concentration of working veterinarians.

The College of Veterinary Medicine will be a major community asset and advance animal health. We are very excited about some of our strong partnerships with leaders including the North Shore Animal League and Bronx Zoo.

Q A

LIU’s motto is Urbi et Orbi— “To the City and to the World.” What does that mean to the staff and students in terms of opportunities at LIU? It means that an LIU education offers endless opportunities.

LIU was founded as a university that was committed to opening the doors of education and opportunity to all, and that commitment continues.

That is why we offer more than $100 million in annual scholarships.

We are a student-centric university that offers world-class teaching in the classroom, as well as experiential learning opportunities that provide students with internships with top companies so they have the skills and connections to get a great job.

As a university, we understand that our role is to educate and graduate engaged citizens who give back to the communities in which they live. I am proud that through our LIU Cares initiative, our students donated more than 150,000 hours to serve their communities. Last year’s Heart Walk at Jones Beach saw the largest team comprised of 200 LIU Post students, many of them there to support their classmates.

Those lifelong bonds of support and community last a lifetime.

Q

Why should someone start their education at LIU?

A

One of the advantages of attending a university like LIU Post is that students get the best of both worlds. On one hand, you have a 322-acre campus which offers a quintessential collegiate experience. On the other, you have access to our strong internship programs which utilizes our connection to our network of 200,000 alumni around the world and industry leaders just a train ride away in New York City.

With world-class faculty, nationally ranked programs, and more than $100 million in scholarships available, I invite students to come to campus and see why becoming part of the LIU family opens the door to a lifetime of opportunities.

What’s Your Beauty Ritual?

Take care of yourself this school year with Rituals brand skincare products

BY JENNIFER FAUCI

jfauci@antonmediagroup.com

A

packed semester syllabus, essays, minimal sleep and settling back into school is what September is all about for college students. But it is also imperative to take care of yourself, not just your schoolwork. Whether you dorm miles away from home or commute to classes every day, back to school beauty is essential for students.

The fall season sees cooler weather and sometimes, bouts of dry or irritated skin as the sunkissed glow of summer fades away.

This autumn, refresh your beauty regimen with nourishing body and bath products from Rituals to inspire ‘slow down’ moments, turning everyday routines into meaningful rituals.

“Inspired by ancient Eastern traditions, Rituals transforms everyday routines into moments of indulgence with their luxurious products for body and home,” said a representative for the brand.

The beauty and skincare brand’s mission is to unveil and treasure the little moments in life as “rituals are everywhere: at any given moment, of every single day, waiting to be discovered,” and that everyone is entitled to feeling something special in a moment created just for them. Whether it is taking a luxurious bath, tending to your facial needs or creating a relaxing, homey atmosphere with the rich smell of Asian incense, Rituals “allows you to find happiness in the smallest of things.”

Although I have graduated, my job keeps me just as busy as any college class, so trying Rituals was a no-brainer. Check out our list of products to try this season. You deserve it.

The Ritual of Banyu Purifying Sea Salt Scrub ($33) This limited edition sea salt scrub, The Ritual of Banyu, honors water as the source of all energy, evoking purity and clarity. It gently removes dead skin cells to make room for revitalized new skin.

I use this scrub in the shower on rough spots (elbows, kneecaps, feet) and come out with velvet skin. If I feel my face calls for it, I let a minimal amount sit for two minutes on my face as the minty scent tingles and rinse off feeling refreshed.

Jump Into the Sea Body Cream ($29) Inspired by an ancient Balinese ceremony, this limited edition body cream containing Balinese Sea Salt and Giant Kelp will help revitalize summer skin, allowing you to hang onto that soft glow for a little while longer. Even the smallest dab of cream makes my hands feel like silk and for someone who types at a computer all day, that is a welcome feel.

Is your child struggling in school? We can help.

The Ritual of Dao Relaxing Serum ($18)

Ayurveda Dry Oils ($29)

For days that are jam packed with classes, activities and meetings, The Ritual of Dao Relaxing Serum is a must-have to keep in your bag for easy, on-the-go moisturization that relaxes.

Inspired by the ancient Chinese philosophy centered on achieving balance between Yin and Yang, the Dao Relaxing Serum is a light cream that cools and relaxes the skin with Chinese mint and Yi Yi Ren. I believe it is chemically impossible for me to relax, but the soothing scent and ease of the almost rollerball tube of this serum forces me to stop and let all of that cool moisturizer seep into my head, neck and shoulder areas. If you’re in your dorm or collapsed on your bed at home amidst a mound of work, trade your pen and paper for a pillow and some serum and enjoy a relaxing few minutes to yourself.

Maintain your mind/body balance throughout the year with nourishing dry oils from The Ritual of Ayurveda collection. Inspired by the ancient wisdom from India, balance your doshas (energies) with the art of Abhyanga (self-massage), with the dry oils. The 100 percent natural dry oils nourish the skin and hair and are specially designed to balance your dosha type—Vata, Pitta or Kapha. Discover your Ayurveda constitution with the Rituals Dosha test. Take ten minutes out of your day and have a date with your dry oil.

Your newly relaxed body will thank you.

We all need to relax and take time for ourselves, so this semester make it a point to find your own ritual. To buy these products or to learn more about Rituals, visit Rituals Roosevelt Field Mall or www.rituals.com. Follow @ritualsusa for everyday “slow down” inspiration.

The Winston Preparatory School (WPS) has announced the launch of Winston Prep Long Island, its fifth campus, opening in Dix Hills this September.

WPS is excited to bring the same essence, expertise and methods to the Long Island community that have been successfully applied to each of its campuses in Manhattan and the tristate area.

Winston Prep is a highly individualized and responsive setting for students in grades 3 through 12 with specific learning differences, such as dyslexia, nonverbal learning disorders, and executive functioning difficulties (i.e. ADHD).

Its unique model of education for the individual provides -intense skill remediation while encouraging students to build

independence, resilience, responsibility, self-awareness, and self-advocacy.

Key to the development of each student is the focus on assessment-based remediation, the daily one-to-one Focus Program, a skill-based curriculum, small homogenous class groupings, an expert faculty, an emphasis on social-emotional development, and a supportive community.

The opening of Winston Prep Long Island marks the logical next step for an organization that has experienced consistent growth over the years. WPS now reaches eight times the number of lives it did just two decades ago and continues to replicate its model in order to meaningfully impact the field.

Winston Prep Long Island is currently accepting applications. For more information, or to sign up for an open house, contact Karen Preston, WPSLI Admissions Director at liadmissions@winstonprep.edu, or visit www.winstonprep.edu.

The Parish Gem: 90 Years Of Faith And Education Saint Dominic High School celebrates milestone anniversary

BY JENNIFER FAUCI

jfauci@antonmediagroup.com

Parishioners call it “The Parish Gem.” Saint Dominic High School in Oyster Bay holds the distinction of being the oldest high school in the Diocese of Rockville Centre and while that is quite the honor, the school is truly an institution for a quality and value-based education.

With a mission statement to “educate young people in a community dedicated to Gospel values and Catholic teachings while ministering to students of diverse abilities to achieve wholeness through personal holiness, academic excellence and social responsibility,” St. Dominic High School is a prestigious Catholic educational institution on Long Island that has responsibilities to education from the nursery program through 12th grade.

“We’ve done a lot to plan for this year’s gala at the end of November held in honor of our schools,” said Father Kevin Smith, who has been the pastor of St. Dominic’s Bay for the past 10 and a half years. “We have flags flying up and down Anstice Street, near our main campus and in downtown Oyster Bay to renew everyone’s spirit.”

The Catholic coed institution attracts students from communities outside the local

area and offers students many options in terms of programs and classes, especially those who are interested in the increasingly popular STEM studies.

Smith spoke of the school’s new state of the art science center, scholars programs for incoming students and STEM-based research programs.

“We partner with The WaterFront Center in Oyster Bay to learn about bay and marine programs as well as work at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory,” he said.

“We also partner with St. Francis Hospital, where two heart surgeons come to the school to

work with the kids, showing the inner working of the heart.”

With 38 clubs and activities to choose from and more than a dozen sports and athletics throughout the year, student life abounds with something for everyone.

The Campus Ministry helps to bridge the gap between what is taught in the classroom and what is lived in the world by offering retreat days, school masses and the Sacrament of Reconciliation, all of which provide students with a sense of relevance of their Catholic faith.

“Catholic education provides structure

and discipline and St. Dominic’s provides an individualized education,” said Smith on why parents should consider a Catholic education for their children. “It is faith based and that is maybe something that doesn’t get discussed enough. At St. Dominic’s, you’re a name, not a number.”

In gearing up for it’s big anniversary, St. Dominic’s plans to mark the milestone in many ways. Smith spoke of the 5K Fun Run and Homecoming on Sept. 22, which leads up to parents weekend on Sept. 29, including the Alumni Hall of Fame Dinner and parish picnic on Sept. 30. The Annual Canivan Auction and Gala will take place on Nov. 30 at The Crest Hollow Country Club.

While the reasons to enroll in St. Dominic’s are many, Smith says the institution has a spirit and family aspect to it unlike any other.

“St. Dominic’s is connected to a parish that fulfills its mission that Monsignor Charles J. Canivan started 90 years ago: to make St. Dominic Parish an educational center that included a high school of outstanding merit,” said Smith.

St. Dominic High School is located at 110 Anstice St., Oyster Bay, NY. For more information about the school and enrollment, call 516-922-4888 or visit www.hs.stdoms.org.

How-to Recognize And Avoid College Scholarship Scams Average college costs have doubled in the last two decades, and this financial pressure along with new technologies makes today’s students particularly vulnerable to financial aid and scholarship scams.

“Scammers know to take advantage of those who are stressed,” said Robert C. Ballard, president and CEO of Scholarship America, the nation’s largest nonprofit scholarship and education support organization.

“Fortunately, there are some ways you can avoid getting duped.”

To help you spot scams, Scholarship America offers the following insights.

Fees and other red flags Scholarship programs charging a fee to apply often look legitimate. But look at the bigger picture: if the provider is awarding $500 in scholarships and collecting fees from thousands of applicants, it’s not funding education so much as making money. Your chances of earning a scholarship are slight if not impossible—sham providers often collect fees and disappear.

Some providers claim to have a no-strings-attached grant or an

N

incredibly low-interest loan to offer, as long as you pay a tax or “redemption” fee in advance. Others offer to match you with guaranteed scholarships—if you pay for a premium search service.

Keep in mind, there’s no such thing as a “guaranteed scholarship.”

Free, comprehensive scholarship searching and matching services like Fastweb and Cappex will connect you to legitimate, competitive scholarships that don’t charge application fees.

Social scammers A new scam making the rounds starts with a random friend request on Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat.

Accept, and your new friend will start messaging you about a foolproof way to make money for college: they work for a scholarship provider and have found a loophole. They just need to

enter you as a winner and you can split the money.

If this was real, it’d be incredibly unethical. However, in the midst of stress, you may be tempted—and that could cost more than money.

While you may be asked to send cash as an advance, most such scammers are phishing.

Give them enough info, and you’ll be worrying about getting your identity back.

“Scholarship scams seem to work just enough for people to keep trying it,” said Ballard.

“However, two main rules will help you avoid them: never pay to apply and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”

Too good to be true Be wary of the “too-good-to-betrue” scam model: an official-sounding

organization tells you about an incredible opportunity, offers you a coveted spot at a scholarship seminar, or just sends you a check with a note of congratulations, using messaging designed to get your adrenaline pumping and make you act fast.

Remember, scholarship providers aren’t in the practice of sending funds out randomly; it’s likely the check will bounce, or you’ll be asked to send money back for “processing” or an “accidental” overpayment. Your safest bet? Tearing up the check and, if you have time, filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission.

Often unexpected “opportunities” are attempts to get you to divulge personal information. Even clicking on links can expose your data to scammers.

Be cautious: Google the name of the scholarship or organization. Scams have often been flagged by the FTC or Better Business Bureau.

Sacred Heart Academy: The All-Girls Advantage

by Kristin Lynch Graham, President of Sacred Heart Academy

Sacred Heart Academy is one of two all-girls Catholic high schools on Long Island. Prospective families are often instinctively attracted to an all-girls environment for their daughters’ high school education.

The reasons for the attraction vary.

Some mothers are beneficiaries of an all-girls education and want to offer the same experience to their daughters.

Some families have seen the research and want to be sure to give their daughters an advantage. Others know the all-girls environment removes gender bias, distractions and pressures.

Some families seek safety, others seek opportunity, and still others are just instinctively attracted to the idea of a single gender education.

There are good reasons to be attracted to an all-girls education. Since 1949, Sacred Heart Academy (SHA) has been educating women leaders

in the mission of the Sisters of St. Joseph. At SHA, we encourage our girls to find their voice, and use their voice to lead with heart. Over 11,000 alumnae use the values and skills they learned at SHA to be leaders in their families, communities, business organizations, and the Church. Our graduates consistently say that their education from Sacred Heart Academy gave them the skills they needed to succeed, as well as lifelong friendships that immeasurably enrich their lives.

The satisfaction and success of our alumnae are not the only data points that support the value of an all-girls education. The National Coalition of Girls School (NCGS) commissioned a study titled Steeped in Learning: The Student Experience at All-Girls Schools which provides a comparative analysis of responses to the High School Survey of Student Engagement (HSSSE).

The study compares the responses of nearly 13,000 girls attending all girls schools, coed independent schools,

and coed public schools. The girls’ responses provide unequivocal support for the value of an all-girls educational environment, demonstrating that those attending all-girls schools are more likely to have an experience that supports their learning than are girls attending coed schools (independent and public).

Sacred Heart students frequently cite many of the specific reasons offered in the study for why they are glad they chose SHA for their high school experience. Our students say they are challenged to achieve more at SHA. They are more engaged in the learning process. Their teachers expect them to participate in class, and the overall environment of respect makes them feel confident to share their views. They feel comfortable being themselves and expressing their ideas. They love wearing their uniform.

Close to 800 talented young girls from across Long Island choose to attend Sacred Heart Academy because

they want more from their high school education. To meet those expectations, SHA has invested in the resources for contemporary education. SHA has state-of-the-art science labs and a science research program available to incoming freshmen. SHA is the only all-girls high school in the country with a Bloomberg Financial Markets Lab. These terminals allow our students to access government, economic and financial data, giving them the opportunity to practice skills in trade messaging, analytics and cost analysis, and providing them a venue to integrate theory with real-world practice.

No matter what attracts you, there is evidence to support the value of an allgirls education. At Sacred Heart Academy, we believe that you won’t need research reports. Your daughter’s success and happiness will be all the evidence you need to support you made the right choice.

he word success means different things to people.

Perhaps it symbolizes money and what it can buy (a BMW or a Jaguar). Perhaps it signifies personal fulfillment and self-esteem. Often, it is a combination of achieving material wealth and personal happiness.

Wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy what you are doing while the money rolls in? Wouldn’t be nice to work at a “labor of love” rather than to receive a mere weekly paycheck?

Not many people can say that they love their work. So I challenge Anton readers to think “outside the box.” As a college professor at Nassau Community College, I often joke with my students and ask “What will I do when I graduate?”

Of course, I have been teaching at the college level for 40 years.

I wouldn’t want to have it any other way. I find most Nassau Community College students to be not just youthful in age but willing and eager to learn. They (you) have an entire future to look forward to… so if a mistake is made, so what? Time is on your side.

You know, there are only three types of people in the world.

Those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happened. Where do you fit in?

Let’s face facts. Be honest with yourself. Are you an individual whose dreams are nothing more than fantasies? Do you think about being a self-starter, plan for it, even pray for it, only to see your dream never become a reality?

Why? I believe that some of us are not focused enough and lack the passion, commitment and enthusiasm required to take control.

On the other hand, some of you will resolve your inner doubts and conflicts. You will make up your mind to do it. Yes, it may be daunting and frightening because it is a personal challenge. And it’s a decision only you can make…not your parents or your girlfriend/ boyfriend. You are in total control.

Remember to think positive… think big. Anything is possible and if it’s impossible, it will take just a little longer to achieve.

AS I SEE IT Jack Mandel

Professor Mandel’s Five Attributes To Success

1 2

Self Confidence

People evaluate you by their perception of your worth. Your actions and words should reflect a strong belief in yourself.

Preparation

To be successful you have little choice but to know your product, service and competition inside and out. Don’t come to the table unless you are ready to play hard.

3 4

Energy

Believe in your inevitability to be a success and expend that drive to reach your goal.

Inspiration

Seek out positive thinking people who can inspire you to reach your goals. IGNORE individuals who aren’t achieving in their own limited world.

5

Aspiration

The only difference between those of us who are marginal in our success and those who are supreme is our level and degree of aspiration.

NEVER SELL YOURSELF SHORT!

The Anti-Smartphone

‘Relay’ tackles kid-friendly wireless communication

BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

F

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

ather of four, Chris Chuang has spent the past seven years contriving a solution to the psychological risks that smartphones pose to young children and earlier this year, he introduced concerned parents to Relay, a device that helps families stay connected sans screens.

With its functionality and size designed for children as young as four or five years old, Relay is a kid-friendly cell phone alternative that, with the press and release of a single button, can instantly transmit a child’s voice either through a companion app downloaded onto a family member’s phone or through another Relay device.

This allows for connection and conversation between children and parents without the dreaded distractions programmed into today’s standard cell phones.

“Relay works much like a walkie talkie except with far greater range,” said Chuang, who serves as CEO and cofounder of Republic Wireless. Because Relay operates over a secure network powered by 4G LTE and Wi-Fi, the device can sustain calls from distances spanning nationwide.

Durable and water-resistant, Relay alleviates parent’s worries while also allowing children their independence. The Relay app is equipped with GPS tracking for monitoring the child’s whereabouts. Whether embarking on a playdate, bike ride or after-school sports game, checking in is simplified with Relay on both the child and parent’s part.

“The device includes ‘channels’ which with one touch, will allow access to an evolving set of features including music and games. We plan to introduce new channels in the coming months that bring new features and experiences to Relay,” Chuang said.

Aug. 28 saw the launch of the Relay Channel Store, where Relay users can experiment with custom chat channels for direct and group communication, instant chat channels for communicating across different accounts and a voice changing feature, with a music

channel in development.

“The mission of Relay is deeply personal for our team,” said Chuang. “As the father of four young children, like many parents, I struggle with balancing the benefits of technology in my kids’ lives with the endangering screen addiction and other challenges that come along with it. So we decided to build the product that we as parents wished we had in our own families.

s much as anyone might wish they could peer into the future, no one has a crystal ball. Fear of the unknown is a significant stressor because our ability to plan for the future is limited and thus we feel less in control of our lives. Many of us cope with this unsettling fear by creating expectations. We approach every day with a huge array of them in place to help us assume what we can count on and look forward to.

These predictions relieve stress because they give us opportunities to take back that sense of control. We can prepare for what we expect will happen. When we lack the coping strategies needed to manage these expectations, . however, we will likely feel anxious and overwhelmed by them.

Expectations can be soothing.

Parents going through divorce are careful to let a younger child know what the new family arrangements are going to be. Divorce is a time of tremendous uncertainty and anxiety for every member of the family (fear of the unknown is one reason why many couples stay unhappily married). A child will feel more secure when they know what to expect.

While realistic expectations can help, unrealistic ones can be emotionally costly. What we choose to remember, how we choose to perceive, what we choose to expect, can all affect how we feel. When we expect that our child will face a very competitive job market after college we may experience a powerful measure of anxiety. We love our children and don’t want them to have to struggle to earn a living. Very often, and inadvertently, our anxiety is transferred to our child as we push her towards academic excellence and an Ivy League education. In many

‘‘

cases these expectations can be useful if it motivates our child to rise and meet the challenge. In some cases however, our child does not have the ability to cope with more demanding expectations. He distracts himself from the ensuing anxiety with video games or other escapes that have familiar rules and instantaneously gratifying rewards. These distractions provide our child with a sense of control that they are not currently feeling in other areas of their life.

The key is identifying the expectation “sweet spot.” Don’t hold performance expectations so unrealistically low that the young person neglects to actualize and express her given capacity. On the other hand, don’t hold performance expectations so unrealistically high that the young person cannot reach them and feels let down. While this may sound simple, it is actually very tricky to do. We should balance our expectations with attention towards helping our child to develop a greater breadth of coping strategies as this will enable them to successfully take on more.

Above all else, healthy parental guidance should involve a communicated sense of unconditional caring.

This means that expectations need to be realistic in order to be effective.

If a child feels that their efforts are never good enough to satisfy their parents it might negatively affect their self esteem and leave them a sense of learned helplessness. They may stop trying because they feel that no matter how hard they try their parents will never be satisfied and always expect more.

Long Island’s Educational Leaders Network And Learn

L

ong Island’s public school educational leaders congregated at Oakdale’s Bourne Mansion on Aug. 9 for SCOPE Education Service’s 34th annual Dinner Meeting for superintendents and school board members.

The event served as a networking opportunity for new and returning superintendents and board of education trustees and other education system professionals.

SCOPE provides a vast array of school district services, such as before and after-school child care programs, school enrichment programs and professional development.

SCOPE Executive Director George L. Duffy told those in attendance that their work is vital and urged them to utilize and benefit from the many programs and services SCOPE provides. He also introduced all newly installed school board members and superintendents and wished them success in their new positions.

Henry Grishman, president of SCOPE’s board of directors, gave valuable advice to the organization’s new guests.

“Leave your school district in far better shape than you found it,” said Grishman.

Speakers included Roger Tilles, who serves as Long Island’s representative on the New York State Board of Regents, and New York State

Commissioner of Education MaryEllen Elia. Both provided updates on education policy changes, such as state assessments, graduation requirements and teacher evaluations.

Tilles said he is examining ways to create opportunities for teacher advancement and noted that while many Long Island districts are receiving national accolades, other districts are struggling.

“We have to remember that those kids are our kids,” said Tilles. “We cannot separate districts doing well from those that aren’t. The equity issue needs to be brought to the forefront.”

Commissioner Elia urged educators to be vocal about the issues surrounding the federal Every Student Succeeds Act, the new New York State standards and assessment issues. She said she is most proud of ESSA’s emphasis on civic responsibility and engagement.

“We need to teach students to be critical thinkers that look at issues,” said Elia. “Students need to be aware of civic problems.”

After receiving questions about the controversial opt-out movement, the Annual Professional Performance Review, charter schools and the move for privatization of public schools, Elia encouraged educators to remain steadfast on their focus of what is good and beneficial for students.

Getting your hands dirty, at least metaphorically

From the sea to C Major, opportunities of a lifetime

At Monmouth, they believe learning, and life, are richer when you step out of your comfort zone and expose yourself to new experiences and people. It’s a place where the classroom is only the beginning of your education. So, every student is required to participate in Experiential Education, completing at least one handson course in their major or minor through an internship, service learning or corporate project, cooperative education placement, or through the study abroad program.

Surf and sand aren’t the only perks of a campus a stroll away from the Atlantic. With Monmouth’s Marine and Environmental Biology program and the Urban Coast Institute (featuring a beautiful, new, 49-foot research vessel, the Nauvoo), the opportunities for undergraduate research are as vast as, well, the ocean. Megan O’Donnell, BS, ’16 took full advantage, “Aside from the research I have participated in here at Monmouth, the faculty also helped me network at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Marine Science Lab on Sandy Hook and with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Cb_dSQdX_^ ͔A=67C͕ͥ​ͥ​ͥ9SddX^V X^f_[fSR X^ RXŬSbS^d research opportunities and beginning to network has been invaluable.”

• Teach young children money basics by playing “store” at home. Take turns being the customer and the cashier. Play board games involving money exchanges to practice addition and subtraction.

• Give children an allowance and help them create a budget. Stress the difference between needs vs. wants to help them make smart decisions when it comes time to shop for clothes, school supplies, toys and more.

• Offer children incentives to save, promising to match any money they sock away so they’ll learn how invested money grows.

• Encourage teenagers to get part-time jobs, then help them make smart decisions about how to allocate their income, whether that’s saving for big-ticket items, putting money away

for college or donating to charity.

• Review free, online financial education materials together that are geared for school-age children, such as those found at PurchasingPower. com and JuniorAchievement.org.

• Seek out community initiatives helping to combat financial illiteracy. For example, Purchasing Power, LLC, a workplace voluntary benefit that allows US workers to buy brand-name products and services interest-free through payroll deduction versus traditional high-interest credit options, partners with Junior Achievement USA, an organization dedicated to giving young people the knowledge and skills they need for economic success. In Atlanta, for example, more than 30,000 middle school students visit the Junior Achievement Chick-fil-A Foundation Discovery Center yearly, where they work with business leaders to learn about real-life financial situations. Together with Junior Achievement, Atlanta corporations including Purchasing Power are supporting a generation that knows how to budget, save and invest.

“Purchasing Power has been helping adults learn to manage their money in smarter, more flexible ways for years.

Expanding these efforts to include resources for young people empowers parents to put their kids on the right path in their formative years,” said Richard Carrano, Purchasing Power CEO. “Financial illiteracy and confusion over money matters is a national problem that won’t be solved overnight. However, families, employers and communities can take proactive steps to raise money-smart kids and foster healthy financial futures.”

Children are never too young to learn how to spend responsibly and save for the future. Get started now in your household.

How Much Do Your Kids Know About Money?

With consumer debt on the rise and many failing to adequately save for the future, experts say that financial illiteracy is a major problem for Americans—and one that communities and parents have a joint responsibility to address, starting in childhood. And right now, most children are coming up short in this area.

More than 62 percent of the 15- to 18-year-olds tested by the National Financial Educators Council received either a “D” or “F” on the 2017 National Financial Literacy Test. Without intervention, these young people could grow up without the skills needed to manage credit cards, loan debt or savings goals.

If you’re a parent, you’ve likely already instilled in your children the importance of good grades and healthy decisions, but if you aren’t also discussing concepts like overall saving, budgeting and the importance of having an emergency fund, now is the time to start. Children are never too young to learn skills needed for a secure financial future. To get started, consider these tips:

HEALTH BRIEFS

Health Care Proxy: What Your College Student Needs

BY MELISSA NEGRIN-WIENER

S

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

ending one’s child off to college is an exciting and emotional time for parents. It’s easy to get caught up in shopping for the dorm room, worrying about roommates, checking the school calendar for Parents’ Weekend and packing the car for the big send off. You breathe a sigh of relief once they are settled, until you receive a phone call one day saying that your child was rushed to the emergency room. You immediately call the hospital only to find that since your child is 18 years of age, you are not allowed access to their health records despite the fact that you are the parent nor are you allowed to make vital decisions when it comes to medical assistance/treatment for your child in an emergency situation.

Many parents do not realize that they no longer have a legal right to their child’s medical information due,

in part, to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPPA). Once a child turns 18, he or she is basically a stranger in terms of access to health records or information. This holds true even if the young adult is covered under the parents’ health insurance and even if the parents are paying all of the bills.

One document is needed to eliminate these problems and allows parents immediate access to their child’s doctors and health information—a health care proxy naming a parent as the child’s agent. If drafted correctly, this legal document will allow parents to communicate with medical professionals, access their child’s medical records and make informed decisions regarding treatment for their child should a medical emergency happen.

While it may seem counter-intuitive to bring a college age child to an elder law attorney, their experience with drafting health care proxies and ensuring that the appropriate language is in place is unmatched. It’s important to note that a health care proxy is not worth the paper it is written on if it is not drafted and executed properly.

While this is the last thing a family wants to think about when preparing their child for college, the risk of an accident occurring is undeniable.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that hundreds of thousands of young adults are hospitalized each year with catastrophic injuries. Do you want to be the first phone call made or the last? A properly executed health care proxy offers one less worry for parents.

School And Food Allergies Doesn’t Have To Equal Stress For parents of children with food allergies, back-to-school time can be particularly stressful.

When children are away at school, parents have little control over the foods children may encounter. But a few tips from experts at National Jewish Health can help ease parents’ anxiety and ensure that students with food allergies remain safe at school.

“More children than ever have food allergies, and in severe cases, just being around certain foods can create an extremely dangerous situation,” said BJ Lanser, MD, director of the Pediatric Food Program at National Jewish Health.

“But there are preparations parents can make to reduce the risks to their child, and with plenty of communication and collaboration with school personnel, students

can concentrate on learning rather than their allergies.”

Whether your food-allergic child is going to school for the first time, headed to a new school or just getting ready for a new school year, experts at National Jewish Health say following these four tips will help keep them safe:

Meet with school staff members Set up meetings with principals, teachers, nurses and cafeteria staff

before the school year begins. This ensures that everyone is informed and prepared and allows a parent to understand how a child’s school manages food allergies.

Create a written plan Work with an allergist to develop an action plan that outlines all necessary information on your child’s allergy, including how to prevent accidental exposures and how to recognize and treat symptoms of an allergic reaction.

Post pictures Tape pictures of your child to the classroom wall with information on their allergies to alert anyone that comes into the room.

You can also post one on your child’s desk, which can serve as a secondary reminder when snacks are served.

Make safe snacks Pack allergen-free snacks for your child in case someone brings in a treat for the class. Send the snacks to school with a label specifying that they are safe, or leave some with their teacher so your child won’t feel left out during classroom celebrations.

Keeping Students Protect e

BY KELLY MARTIN

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Students across the country are dealing with a hidden problem that comes with college that many overlook: housing. While many schools offer on-campus living options, they are becoming less affordable year by year, and many students just don’t believe that living in such a restricted environment is worth the money.

This is why students turn to off-campus housing. This can be a great, cheaper option for some students, but where they can run into trouble is when the landlord tries to take advantage of the young adults’ lack of knowledge about renting.

If students are living in unsafe or overcrowded conditions, such as basement apartments with blocked entrances or individual key locks on bedroom doors, not only is it dangerous, but if inspectors come to the house it can also lead to being forced to move out in the middle of the semester, when relocation options are extremely limited.

“The biggest problem in New York state is that there are no good clear

laws for renters on issues like security deposits, and there are no protections specifically for students,” Ian Wilder, executive director of Long Island Housing Services said.

These concerns are amplified by students’ inexperience with the process of finding and living in rentals.

“Landlords can get away with the bare minimum because a lot of us are first-time renters who don’t know any better, and the landlords are well aware of the fact that they are the only alternative to dorms that is within walking distance of campus, which is crucial for students who don’t have cars or do not want to bother with the iffy parking situations every day on campus,” said Daria Burge, a senior at Hofstra University.

While colleges and universities make it clear that they want students to stay safe and in healthy and productive living conditions, they do little to ensure this outside of on-campus living options. Schools like Hofstra University and the State University of New York at Stony Brook offer help with getting students’ loans applied to rent off campus, however they do not get involved to approve these living situations or to

verify that houses are up to code.

Landlords have been known to be difficult when interacting with student tenants.

“Our landlord once told us while we were having difficulties with creating livable conditions up to the standards of the fire department that ‘I really only help out with these kinds of things if parents get involved,’” Burge explained.

“He basically told us that he didn’t take us seriously because we are 20 and 21.”

So the question becomes, how do students make sure that they are protected against potentially shady landlords while finding and living in yearly rentals?

The first step in avoiding scams or untrustworthy conditions is trying to meet as many people as possible. The property manager, the owner of the house, even people who have recently lived at the property or one owned by the same person are all people who are valuable contacts to know when it comes to looking for a place to live. The more face-to-face interaction you have with people who are renting space out the better.

t ed In Off-Campus Housing landlord can provide good insight into what is to be expected. Asking questions about how easy they are to deal with, what kind of condition the house is in when it is not being shown, and how quickly the landlord or his employees are to respond to issues at the house is all information that would be more likely to be honestly disclosed by renters rather than proprietors.

Making sure that there is a lease in place that lays out any specific rules about things like subletting, late rent fees, if and when the landlord can come to the house and how much warning they must give you, and how to pay rent will also supply a safeguard against landlords who try to bend the rules.

Wilder stressed the importance of reading the lease completely, and making sure all of the rules seem fair; because once it is signed “you could now be in charge of anything from shoveling the snow to fixing the roof.”

“It is always better to spend time [reading the lease] if possible. You don’t want to rush into a relationship with a landlord just to get it done,” he said.

Students who have had to deal with these problems agree with Wilder’s advice.

“I wish I had pushed my landlord more before I signed the lease for specific guidelines, because now I have a landlord who can show up whenever they want, and get mad at me for things like having people over, because there were no rules deciding what was acceptable ahead of time,” said Morris Aronsky, a second-year Stony Brook School of Medicine student.

Asking the landlord to do a walkthrough with you before you move in and after you move out is also advised.

“This way, you can prove that the house is in condition that guarantees you your security deposit back after you move out,” according to Wilder.

Beyond the landlord, it is important to analyze the safety of the neighborhood or street that the house is located on. If the house doesn’t seem to be in the safest area, ask the landlord about incidents that have happened previously, and if they have taken precautions like alarm systems or extra locks on the doors to safeguard their particular houses.

To a certain extent, there is a “this is just how college kids live” mentality, especially when it comes to minor issues.

“The house might not have the nicest kitchens or bathrooms but in college we will take what we can get,” Jennifer Weltner, rising senior at Hofstra University said.

While these things may seem inevitable, landlords and property owners should still be held to some standard when it comes to renting to college students. Problems with appliances, or things that hinder safety, like lack of smoke detectors or proper locks, should be their top priority. Making it known before signing a lease that this is expected will help set the standard.

Consult with a lawyer that specializes in real estate and rental properties if there are any seemingly serious violations of a rental agreement, but paying attention and being aware of your rights is the best defense against faulty landlords. Do not send any money before a lease is officially signed, and when money is sent make sure there is a paper or digital trail that will provide proof of payment.

As long as students pay attention to detail and defend themselves against landlords, there’s no reason they should not have a happy and productive school year living off campus.

What You Can Do To Combat The STD Epidemic

BY ANTHONY J. SANTELLA

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

At the recent National STD Prevention Conference, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), our nation’s public health agency, released new data showing nearly 2.3 million cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis were diagnosed in the United Sates in 2017. While that number seems small compared to our total population of 327 million, it represents an increase of more than 200,000 cases of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) from 2016. What can we do about this growing epidemic?

We know more about chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis because they are the infections that doctors are required to report. While they are all largely curable, many people who contract these diseases do not show symptoms right away. Undiagnosed STDs can cause a host of serious health consequences such as pain, infertility, miscarriages and increased risk for other STDs, including HIV. There are many possible reasons for the increase. First, with new biomedical interventions such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), the FDA-approved HIV prevention

pill, condom use has decreased in some communities. Second, federal funding for abstinence-based education has increased, despite a body of evidence suggesting it is not effective.

Third, people are tired of fear-based messaging that has historically been used to try and change health behavior. Last but not least, inconsistent and decreasing public health funding means less infrastructure and resources to screen and treat STDs. Anyone who is sexually active and not practicing mutual monogamy is at risk of contracting an STD. The disparities persist—for example, gonorrhea cases have nearly doubled among men. Gay and bisexual men make up almost 70% of primary syphilis cases (characterized by sores around the infection site, usually the genitals) and secondary cases (characterized by skin rash and fever). Chlamydia, the most common STD reported to the CDC, disproportionately impacts 15-to-24-year-old females.

While we do not have comparable STD data for Long Island yet, the latest state rankings from the CDC show New York doing poorly. We rank 12th in the nation for the highest number of chlamydia cases, number 22 for gonorrhea, and number 5 for syphilis. This is a public health crisis and more work needs to be done to

address this epidemic.

As a sexual health scholar, my recommendations for protecting yourself and reducing these alarming national rates include:

1

ave open and frank converH sations with your healthcare providers about your sexual behaviors and partners. While this may be uncomfortable at times for you and/or your provider, it should inform what sexual health screenings you need and how often you should be screened.

2

alk about sex with your partT ner(s). Whether you have a regular or casual partner, talk to them about what type of relationship you want, STD status, contraceptives and other forms of protection, sexual pleasure, and consent. The more you both know, the better.

3

on’t be fooled by popular myths D that insist STDs can’t be transmitted by oral sex (they can) or that you can tell if someone has an STD by looking at them (you can’t because most people don’t show symptoms). Stick to credible sexual health information resources such as the CDC or the American Sexual Health Association.

4

void overusing antibiotics to A treat STDs. Frequent and inappropriate use can make treatment less effective and have negative long-term consequences. A new report from the World Health Organization found gonorrhea is increasingly resistant to antibiotics. Unfortunately, there are only a few highly effective antibiotics that can be used to treat gonorrhea, so we need new antibiotic options.

5

Advocate for medically-accurate, age-appropriate, sex education in our schools. We know young people are waiting longer to have sex and are more likely to use contraceptives. However, a few hours a year of classroom instruction is not enough to effectively teach them about responsible sexual behavior and how to protect their health. We also need to make sure health teachers are trained on how to effectively deliver sex education in a sex-positive manner. This epidemic won’t end without a drastic overhaul to sex education curricula.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

Since Mateo was a young boy, he was curious about medicine. After emigrating to the U.S. at age seven, his curiosity grew and years later turned into a passion which led him to Queensborough, where he is studying Biotechnology and Engineering Science.

Soon after his academic career began at Queensborough, he started working with the College’s outstanding faculty mentors in scientific research. Under their guidance, he presented and published a paper in the Columbia Undergraduate Research Journal, a prestigious peer-reviewed journal.

He continued his research in the College’s Advanced Manufacturing and 3D Printing Lab where he works tirelessly on innovative thinking. His 2017 Innovation Challenge Research Project: Eagle- I, is a biotechnology sensing drone system that can assist public safety responders detect gunfire and reduce crime response time.

The project was among the winning pitches presented at the fall 2017 CUNY Innovation Challenge, designed to provide students with real-world, hands-on learning experiences and to successfully transfer their knowledge into creating products and services that benefit society.

Mateo and his team are building a prototype in the 3-D printing lab with biotech sensors and cloud connectivity with AI. Mateo’s plans for the future are to continue doing research and to create a new way to save and improve lives.

Now, as a participant in the National Science Foundation I-Corps Program, Mateo will be investigating potential customers, traveling to diverse companies and organizations, and working on his business model canvas.

“Thank you for the wonderful experience that is the academic and student life at Queensborough Community College.

I know anything is possible in this community of infinite possibilities.”

New To Long Island Jaguar Freeport Rolls Out First Electric Model

s technology continues to advance, we are seeing more environment-friendly cars being offered as reliable vehicular options. At Jaguar Freeport, the brand new 2019 Jaguar I-PACE, their first all-electric car, hit their showroom floor after it was named the 2018 Car of the Year by the Auto Express New Car Awards.

“It’s extremely swift,” said general manager Tony Anton.

JAGUAR ELECTRIC from page 19A “The battery is down in the floorboard of the car so its center of gravity is extremely low, making the car just feel about as stable as an automobile can possibly feel.”

Until this point, Tesla has been the only company producing all-electric cars to this point. Jaguar adds competition to a market that had been dominated by one brand until now.

“Everyone that I’ve talked to has said that this car is ‘gorgeous’

compared to a Tesla,” said Anton.

As for some specs of the I-PACE, The car is built with a 395 HP motor.

It can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 4.9 seconds. The 90 kWh battery is built to last for long stretches of time.

Charging the car battery takes only about 85 minutes to get to 80 percent, depending on the weather.

Anton has been working with Jaguar for 36 years. After many years at the Great Neck dealership, he moved to the new Jaguar Freeport in 2017. As the I-PACE goes on sale this fall, he

is proud to represent the company, introduce this innovative vehicle, and be in charge of the young lot.

“This is a brand new, 35,000-square-foot spectacular dealership,” said Anton. “We offer pickup and delivery for service. Three of our technicians each have over three decades of Jaguar experience. And we are the only Jaguar dealership that is independently owned on the island.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The differences between generations will be more apparent this week. Lucky moves: envision the older generation as people who were once your age. Try and demystify something about the younger generation. Ask questions. Ideally your team should involve people of all ages.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Romance is in the air, bringing such features as giddy butterflies and imaginings of a shared future. That said, try not to get too caught up in thinking about relationships. Basic animal compatibility follows the genius of biochemistry, no added effort needed from a thought process.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The change that’s afoot may not be working for you straight out of the gate. It’s seemingly too costly. You’ll wish to return to the way things were. Take heart -- the pendulum always swings back from whence it came, or approximately so. In the meantime, don’t miss the opportunity inside this altered state.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re brave and capable, but you can’t handle absolutely everything on your own. Why would you want to? When you rely on your friends, both of you get a gift. You get the gift of their assistance and they get the gift of helping you, and feeling needed and important.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Waste no time in waiting for hopes to be fulfilled.

What will happen is what you make happen. You’ll get organized. You’ll write all of your intentions and get them pointed in the same direction.

Success will be a function of alignment. You’ll be amazed at how much momentum builds very quickly once all is congruent.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Suffering is a part of life, and you’re not going to have a week that goes by without it. The point is to become tolerant of it, to do your thing even though it comes with a little discomfort. You grow powerful as you become more accepting of a wider range of feelings and circumstances.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The good thing about getting older is that small minutia seems less bothersome to you and you care a lot less about unimportant things. Right now it’s one way, but it really has been a lot of different ways and it will change again soon. So the main point is just not to get too comfortable with how things are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Contentment is wealth. Money without contentment isn’t worth much. You’ll be making yourself feel more content this week as you learn about what really pleases you. Your enjoyment is so important, and, as you’ll find out, not always expensive either.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Just because the majority of people share an opinion about how things should be run, that doesn’t make their opinion correct, moral, ethical or anything other than popular. Investigate your options. You might be the first one willing to challenge what’s going on, but you won’t be the only one.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s nothing lonelier than being surrounded by people who aren’t on your wavelength. To be in proximity and yet not relating -- that’s worse than being alone. When you’re alone, you can and will give yourself the love and attention you need. You’re free to focus your energy where it will bring you joy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Creativity is paramount to your frame of mind, and you’ll get the chance to be in a group where many are operating on a higher level to solve problems together. It’s a terrific feeling coming from your part of the world. You radiate warmth and sensitivity and those who need extra care are attracted to the vibration.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If the world isn’t being particularly sweet on you, it’s difficult to generate a lot of love and compassion in return -difficult, not impossible. One way to manage it is to be very kind to yourself and then let the overflow from that seep into the world. By the end of the week you’ll feel lucky, loved and quite glorious.

Peruvian food was on display at Sumaq, complete with anticuchos (beef heart), spicy cuy (guinea pig) and empanadas.

The Incan Way Peruvian cuisine is a delectable treasure trove

eruvian food is a study in juxtaposition. Robust, coal-fired meat and potato offerings stand alongside more delicate dishes dealing in cold temperatures and acidic flavors.

This wide range of culinary contributions is a product of the Peruvian landscape, which features a globe’s worth of climates and a range of altitudes, producing an impressively diverse scope of flora, fauna and everything in between.

The humble potato boasts close to 4,000 varieties in Peru, along with a deep wealth of corn, grains and native chilies.

The country’s national dish is ceviche, a dish made with raw seafood and fish that is cured in citrus juices like lemon or lime, and spiced with chili peppers.

Though many countries claim to have invented the dish, most agree that this cold delicacy originated in Peru with five simple ingredients: sea bass, lime juice, onion, salt and hot chilies.

Stateside, Peru’s most well-known food is easily pollo la brasa, or roasted chicken.

This poultry preparation involves marinating a whole bird in a potent and addictive mix of garlic, herbs and spices before roasting it on a spit. As it rotates amid a kiss of flames, the skin slowly transforms into a golden crisp with spice and fire combining to produce exotic aromas and earthy flavors.

From the more exotic end of the Peruvian table is cuy, or guinea pig.

Involving this small mammal in any meal preparation might seem barbaric to those north of the border, and the sight of a roasted guinea pig’s head frozen in an eternal scream might be unnerving for

some, but it is one of the most popular sources of protein in Peru’s Andean region. Think of it as suckling pig for one—unctuous, smoky and dark meat with a cap of crackling, flavorful skin. It sounds anything but scary.

The striking dish was merely one of the features at the recent Sumaq Peruvian Food Festival, held at the Cradle of Aviation in Garden City in August. Sumaq translates to “delicious” in the indigenous language of Quechua. and the annual event brings Peruvian food proprietors from across the country, as well as establishments directly from the South American homeland.

The festival features the gentle blend of ancient Incan cooking practices and immigrant traditions from Spain, Africa and Japan, is what makes Peruvian cuisine unique and is steadily conquering the interest of everyone around the world. Sumaq’s mission, according to

organizers, is to help expand Peruvian cuisine and culture in New York.

One of the restaurants at the festival, La Matarina Restaurante Turístico from Lima, Peru, is known affectionately as La Catedral del Cuy, or The Cathedral of the Guinea Pig. At the food festival, the restaurant served its guinea pig two ways—in a spicy tomato-based sauce and straight-up fried. While both were tasty, the fried version offered crispy skin, which put it over the top. As for what guinea pig tastes like, think rabbit with a pork exterior.

While the Sumaq festival is the perfect opportunity to sample all of the gastronomic delights of Peru, it is sadly only held once a year. Luckily, there are plenty of Peruvian restaurants scattered around Long Island, so there is no need to wait until next summer. Brasas Peru in Franklin Square (673 Franklin Ave.), is a small restaurant that is big

on flavor and customer service. Since it opened last year, this independent and family-owned restaurant offers an array of homemade recipes to satisfy local Peruvian gastronomy.

At Brasas, the pollo a la brasa is a must and fulfills the promise of Peru— dynamically flavored whole-roasted chicken that decimates poultry from any establishment, fast food or otherwise. The chicken is the centerpiece of Brasas’ generously priced combos.

Go for combo no. 2, which includes a whole chicken, avocado salad, yellow rice, beans, tostones (fried plantains) and salchipapa (basically hot dogs and French fries, but even better than it sounds).

Other keenly prepared dishes at Brasas include arroz chaufa, which is Peruvian style Chinese fried rice; bistec a lo pobre, a dish with marinated steak served with a fried egg, French fries,

20180921_XAL_LNW_PG00-1:1September17,2018

sweet plantains and white rice; and of course, ceviche de pescado, which features fish cured in lime juice.

On the weekends, Brasas expands its menu to offer specialty dishes for customers who want to expand their Peruvian palate. These dishes include a fried seafood extravaganza called jalea, and choros a la chalaca, which is a Peruvian take on mussels.

Peruvian food is romantic and curiously unique. It is striking in both preparation and flavor and is a take on Hispanic cuisine worth exploring.

t’s easy to write about Spanish authors or those who write in that language. It all starts with Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616), the 16th century author of Don Quixote, hailed for centuries as the first modern novel, one that has been translated into dozens of languages.

Cervantes was the aviator of Spanish literature, not just for his works, but also for the stubborn fact that his world often collided at the bloody crossroads of literature and politics. A soldier in the Spanish Navy Marines, Cervantes was injured during the historic Battle of Lepanto.

Cervantes’ life in the military allowed him to draw inspiration for his 1859 classic, an adventure tale that has made the term “quixotic,” one used to describe lost causes, both noble and foolish, a permanent part of the English language.

Centuries later, Spanish artists played a key role in the development

of modernism, a revolutionary force in music, literature and painting. In literature, the leading Spanish poet was Federico García Lorca (18981936). Garcia Lorca was the most accomplished of a group of writers known as Generation of ‘27, artists who were influenced by such tenets of modernism as surrealism, futurism and symbolism. Alas, Garcia Lorca could not escape the world of politics.

While still a young man, he was executed during the Spanish Civil War. A philosopher who influenced that generation was José Ortega y Gasset (1883-1955). Ortega y Gasset came from a middle-class family stepped in journalism and liberal politics. His most famous work was Revolt of the Masses (1930). This slender masterpiece did not praise the common man; instead, he was critical of their leaders (who rose from their ranks) and “mass-man” himself. “The mass crushes beneath it everything that is different, everything that is excellent, individual, qualified and select.

M

178083 C

Miguel de Cervantes Anybody who is not like everybody, who does not think like everybody, runs the risk of being eliminated,” he famously wrote. In an age of ideology, Ortega y Gasset preferred that combination of “the noble life and [the] common life.”

Across the ocean and into South and North America, writers in Spanish continued to enliven modern literature. In Mexico, most prominent was Carlos Fuentes (1928-2012).

Fuentes began publishing in the early 1960s, heralding the great boom in Latin American letters that flourished in the coming decades. In the United States, Fuentes’ most famous work was the 1985 novel, The Old Gringo, inspired by the adventures of the equally-famous American author Ambrose Bierce, author of The Devil’s Dictionary and a Civil War veteran who was believed to have disappeared in Mexico while fighting in a civil war in that country.

Further south in Colombia, that country’s most legendary novelist was Gabriel García Márquez (1927-2014).

In 1982, judges in Sweden recognized the contributions of Latin American literature by awarding Marquez the Nobel Prize. His 1967 novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude, about the Buendia family and their struggles in the fictional nation of Macondo, was hugely popular, selling 30 million copies worldwide.

Marquez was considered one the founders of the “magic realism” school of literature. The most beloved member of that group remains the Argentine poet and short story

20180921_XAL_LNW_PG00-1:1September17,2018

writer, Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986).

His short story collection Ficciones remains a volume impossible to put down. Borges struggled against long odds in this life, suffering from permanent blindness at age 55. Like Cervantes, Borges was a wit who dismissed the 1982 war between the United Kingdom and Argentina in the Falkland Islands as “a fight between two bald men over a comb.”

Politics and literature collided again in the life and works of Mario Vargas Llosa (b., 1936). Another Nobelist, Llosa achieved popularity in the English-speaking world for the autobiographical novel, Aunt Julia and The Screenwriter.

This native of Peru jumped into the political arena in 1990, running for the presidency of that country, one appropriately entitled A Fish Out Of Water.

American authors of Hispanic origin write, of course, in English, but their works dramatize the immigrant experience in America. Sandra Cisneros (b. 1954), is best known for her 1984 novel, The House On Mango Street.

A native of Chicago, Cisneros’s work draws on a childhood spent traveling back and forth between her American home and the Mexico of her parents and grandparents.

Oscar Hijuelos (1951-2013) was a New York native, whose second novel, the autobiographical, The Mambo Kings, made him the first HispanicAmerican to win a Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Hijuelos also studied at The City College of New York’s creative writing program, which has produced such writers as Judith Rossner, Walter Mosley and Ted Mooney.
