Better sleep =

BY MARIA SCRIVAN

By Joseph Doherty

When I spoke with four of Western New York’s 2017 award-winning brewers, the bumper sticker idiom “Do what you love and love what you do” stubbornly lodged in my mind. Yes, these brewers love beer. And yes, they love brewing it. Not surprisingly then, this group—professionals who exude a deep knowledge and passion for their craft— sit at the top of the class.

TAP New York Awards 2017 Gold Medal Winner Governors’ Brewers’ Cup for Best Craft Beer in New York State Community Beer Works, The Whale Brown Ale President, Ethan Cox Coffee, chocolate, caramel, and roast—these are the most prominent flavor notes of Community Beer Works’ The Whale Brown Ale. Instead of heavy hops, “you get a smooth, malty, fulsome, and delicious 5.8% ABV all-season ale that pairs well with a wide range of foods, but also drinks great on its own,” says president Ethan Cox. The Whale’s recipe has evolved from original head brewer Rudy Watkins’ recipe, but remains grounded in the “simple joy of creating a great expression of the Thomas Fawcett Brown Malt, which contributes the bulk of the flavor.” It’s rounded out with other malts, a dash of hops, and a fairly neutral ale yeast. “We like to think we make the best beer in Buffalo, but that’s not to say we don’t think others are also making great beer! For the most part, our small scale is something of a liability, but when it comes to two things—freshness and variety—it does have advantages. Ultimately, we’re very much a brewer’s brewery, and I think it shows in the beer.”

N E W YO R K B E E R P R O J E C T 6933 S. Transit Rd., Lockport; 743-6927 or nybeerproject.com

After a highly anticipated opening, followed by crowds settling down to a manageable size, it seems as NYBP has finally found its comfort zone and is hitting its stride. Hefty burgers made from premium ground sirloin have an intense beef flavor that results from the quality grind and the hearty crust laid down by the grill.

Built into one of six configurations listed on the menu, they are well balanced compositions, with Instagramworthy presentation.

TED’S HOT DOGS Multiple locations; 691-3731 or tedshotdogs.com

Ted’s has been firing up the grill for its charcoal-broiled hot dogs since 1927, so they know a thing or two about quality dogs. In 1913, Greek immigrant Theodore Spiro Liaros, or “Ted” as he came to be known, landed in Western New York with little money and no English. He started with a horse-drawn hot dog cart before buying a Massachusetts Avenue shed in 1927. Today, Ted’s has locations all over WNY, and even Arizona, so a great smoky hot dog is never far away.

ALLEN BURGER VENTURE 175 Allen St., Buffalo; 768-0386 or allenburgerventure.com

Come hungry. Be prepared to wait for a seat. Ask for extra napkins before the burgers hit your table. These are the cardinal rules of an Allen Burger Venture adventure. Here the menu features a wide range of creative burgers, each made of grassfed Angus beef. Lamb, sausage, and chickpea burgers are available as well, so there’s something for everyone. Its killer beer selection and housemade tater tots don’t hurt it either. (You’ll thank us for the extra napkin tip first bite in.)

But the fries might be one of JuiCy Burger Bar’s most spectacular feats (FTW: the sweet potato version is equally smashing). Handcut, cooked to perfection, dressed with salt and pepper, and not overly greasy, JuiCy’s fries are noteworthy.

M O O R PAT 78 E. Spring St., Williamsville; 810-9957 or moorpat.com

Frank Gourmet Hot Dogs started as a food truck in 2015, and opened a brick-and-mortar at EXPO Market in downtown Buffalo this year. All of its dogs are preservative, nitrate, and artificial ingredient free, and that commitment to quality shows on the plate. Spree named Frank the best hot dogs in the city last year, and we still can’t top their perfectly done links, creative toppings, and addictive fries. With pork and beef blend, all-beef, and vegetarian dogs topped with everything from chili to guacamole and fried jalapeños to blueberry BBQ sauce and fried onions, there’s something for everyone at Frank.

Built in the 1950s by architect and prior owner Alvin J. Oberst,the 1,900-square-foot Williamsville home is the epitome of midcentury design with sleek, clean lines. In the center of the main living space sits a fireplace, open on three sides, which divides the room into spaces for living and dining.

Great fries require great commitment. Considering the miniature kitchen tucked behind the bar and the limited menu offerings, Moor Pat is 100 percent devoted to its fries. Hand cut, soaked, dried, low temp blanched, chilled, and rested before flash frying á là minute, they are golden, hefty, and satisfying. Truffle Parmesan is available for those who need to adulterate their purity. And you won’t miss the ketchup when you opt for house made blue cheese sauce or chipotle mayo for dipping.

You may be tempted to go on about the mayo-based dipping sauces that come with the fries.

There's a choice of three that vary from day to day, like the creamy Sriracha-laced variety, the spicy and catsupy "Cane," and the salt and vinegar concoction, which is serioulsy killer. But, focus! The fries that Frank serves are magical. Through some super secret deep frying transmogrification, potatoes are rendered into the perfect golden dream of themselves. Ultra crisp on the outside and tender and light inside. How? And don't go with that friend who always says, "Do you want to split an order of fries?" You do not. You want them all to yourself.

Steve’s Pig & Ox Roast is best known for its beef on ’weck, but its fries have our attention. Handcut curly fries have a special place in our hearts, and a bountiful pile of Steve’s twirly, crisp potatoes are the perfect accompaniment to any of its classic sandwiches.

Connecting

KIDS and COMMUNITY

BY REBECCA CUTHBERT

Modern technology offers an abundance of recreational opportunity, but gaming, virtual realities, and digital access to “friends and followers” shouldn’t threaten hands-on experience and meaningful peer connection. If you think your child spends too much time alone with a screen, consider providing an unforgettable experience this season. From equestrian camps to science programs to preschool at the Zoo, the Buffalo area buzzes with micro communities where kids can make friends and engage with new ideas and ways of learning.

M

ary Herbert, owner and director of Forrestel Riding & Sports Camp (forrestel.com) in Medina, has been helping girls aged seven to seventeen build confidence and connect with nature since 1980.

On the 800-acre working farm, surrounded by a spring-fed pond, rolling fields, and winding trails, campers not only ride and care for the farm’s

fifty horses, but play sports, create art, paddle, woodwork, and more—without phones. “ We h a ve a p o l i c y — n o c e l l phones,” says Herbert. “This isn’t a punishment. This is an opportunity to remove the distractions of their social lives back home and fully enjoy camp. They become more independent, and learn responsibility. It’s an

immersive experience, and so good for them socially.” With so many activities to keep them busy, Herbert says they usually forget all about their phones, enjoy themselves, and make new friends.

Forrestel Riding & Sports Camp fills on a first-come, first-served basis, with summer sessions beginning June 17 and running until August 10.

Campers can choose from one- or two-week sessions, with riding once or twice a day. Spring Riding Weekends are also available.

For kids who want to walk on the wild side (or at least learn about it), the Buffalo Zoo (buffalozoo.org; click Experiences) offers spring and summer camps, Preschool at the Zoo, and more. Tiffany Vanderwerf, chief conservation officer, said the Zoo’s preschool program is “probably the most unique in Western New York.”

day, exploring nature, science, and the zoo,” Vanderwerf says. “Their favorite things are when animals come to visit them, or they get to visit the animals.” Of course, kids can’t bathe elephants or feed lions, but there are plenty of safe ways to participate in the Zoo’s culture and have a positive impact on its residents. “[Program participants] get to make enriching items for the animals, and, after they’re delivered [by staff], the kids get to watch the animals enjoying those items in their enclosures,” explains Vanderwerf. “There are other great activities and crafts, and projects that the children get to choose for themselves. That curriculum is in addition to the classic ABCs that parents expect from preschool.”

Spring and summer camps are themed, and each year, the Zoo ensures its programs are fresh and exciting. “We have a very high return rate year after year,” says Vanderwerf.

“The kids really enjoy themselves, and they love being at the Zoo.” At the Park School of Buffalo, variety is the spice of learning.

With themed weeks geared to different interests, Park Camps are led by certified teachers who are experts in their fields. “We offer camps focused on ecology, art, 3D printing, STEAM [Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math], cooking, drama, and fashion design, and sports, as well as a traditional day camp,” says Jen Henshue, director of camps and auxiliary adventures at the Park School.

Since more than 800 kids participate in the camps every summer, campers make scores of new friends, too. “Here, they learn and grow in ways that can be hard during the school year,” Henshue points out.

“Participants meet [peers] they never would have met otherwise, and this creates a community that kids really want to belong to.”

Registration is currently open, and camps are filling up fast. To enroll your child, go to theparkschool.org and click on the “Camps” tab.

At Nardin Academy in Buffalo, the Nardin Montessori Summer Camp “blends an appreciation for the arts and the world around us with the joys of physical exploration and creative hands-on projects,” says Alexandra Tramposch, director of Strategic Marketing and Communications. “Guided by Dr. Montessori’s observation that children are the potential creators of social harmony, our program enriches the lives of our campers through guided art and craft creation, real-life skills of woodworking, meal preparation, and gardening, and social engagement as we take weekly walks around the

SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION

neighborhood. Children also gain an appreciation of nature and connectedness to the earth through exploration of our two beautiful green play spaces.”

Nardin Montessori Summer Camp is open to four-year-olds through those entering first grade in September, and runs from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Monday through Friday the weeks of June 11, 18, 25; and July 9, 16, and 23. For registration information, go to Nardin.org and click on “Summer Camps” under the “Admissions” tab. Additional camp experiences are available for older children, as well.

For the little leading ladies (and men), Theatre of Youth (TOY; theatreofyouth.org) offers Summer Youth Workshops. TOY is the only theater in Western New York dedicated exclusively to children’s and family programming. Now in its forty-sixth year, TOY provides quality productions with professional adult actors and a rigorous schedule including educational, public, and sensoryfriendly performances.

“Last season—the forty-fifth anniversary season—was dedicated to the two women who founded TOY, Rosalind Cramer and Toni Smith Wilson,” says Artistic Director Meg Quinn, who herself is celebrating twenty-six years with TOY. “Roz and Toni believed children need and deserve to have their stories told in the theater. This season, each play speaks to the child audience about growing up, learning about the world, and finding your place in it.”

Explore & More Children’s Museum in East Aurora (exploreandmore. org) challenges the museum stereotype by inviting families into a world of color, sound, energy, and fun.

Kids won’t find shushing docents here; instead, according to its website, “learning feels like playing. We do everything in our playful power to give children a chance to dream, imagine, invent and do, in childhood and far beyond.”

School groups are welcome at Explore & More, and so are birthday parties. Visit the museum’s website to check progress on its new Canalside location.

For all activities, children need to see to play it safe, and Hogenkamp Optics in Orchard Park has them covered. The pros at Hogenkamp offer corrective eyewear in durable kids’ frames, plus special lenses that help filter electronics’ harmful blue light.

Hogenkamp Optics is also your kids’ one-stop shop for swim and scuba goggles, sunglasses, and more. And, if your son’s or daughter’s glasses get bent out of shape, you won’t have to.

HAVE YOU NOTICED ANY OF THESE WARNING SIGNS? Note: This list is for information only and not a substitute for a consultation with a qualified professional.

1. MEMORY LOSS THAT DISRUPTS DAILY LIFE. One of the most common signs of Alzheimer’s disease, especially in the early stage, is forgetting recently learned information. Others include forgetting important dates or events, asking for the same information over and over, and increasingly needing to rely on aides (e.g., reminder notes or electronic devices) or family members for things they used to handle on their own.

What’s a typical age-related change? Sometimes forgetting names or appointments, but remembering them later. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. CHALLENGES IN PLANNING OR SOLVING PROBLEMS. Some people may experience changes in their ability to develop and follow a plan or work with numbers. They may have trouble following a familiar recipe or keeping track of monthly bills. They may have difficulty concentrating and take much longer to do things than they did before.

What’s a typical age-related change? Making occasional errors when balancing a checkbook. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 3. DIFFICULTY COMPLETING FAMILIAR TASKS AT HOME, AT WORK OR AT LEISURE. People with Alzheimer’s disease often find it hard to complete daily tasks. Sometimes they may have trouble driving to a familiar location, managing a budget at work or remembering the rules of a favorite game.

What’s a typical age-related change? Occasionally needing help to use the settings on a microwave or to record a television show. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 4. CONFUSION WITH TIME OR PLACE. People with Alzheimer’s can lose track of dates, seasons and the passage of time. They may have trouble understanding something if it is not happening immediately.

Sometimes they may forget where they are or how they got there.

What’s a typical age-related change? Getting confused about the day of the week but figuring it out later. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________

5. TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING VISUAL IMAGES AND SPATIAL RELATIONSHIPS. For some people, having vision problems is a sign of Alzheimer’s. They may have difficulty reading, judging distance, and determining color or contrast, which may cause problems with driving.

What’s a typical age-related change? Vision changes related to cataracts. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 6. NEW PROBLEMS WITH WORDS IN SPEAKING OR WRITING. People with Alzheimer’s disease may have trouble following or joining a conversation. They may stop in the middle of a conversation and have no idea how to continue or they may repeat themselves. They may struggle with vocabulary, have problems finding the right word or call things by the wrong name (e.g., calling a “watch” a “hand clock”).

What’s a typical age-related change? Sometimes having trouble finding the right word. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 7. MISPLACING THINGS AND LOSING THE ABILITY TO RETRACE STEPS. A person with Alzheimer’s may put things in unusual places. They may lose things and be unable to go back over their steps to find them again. Sometimes, they may accuse others of stealing. This may occur more frequently over time.

What’s a typical age-related change? Misplacing things from time to time and retracing steps to find them. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 8. DECREASED OR POOR JUDGMENT. People with Alzheimer’s may experience changes in judgment or decision making. For example, they may use poor judgment when dealing with money, giving large amounts to telemarketers. They may pay less attention to grooming or keeping themselves clean.

What’s a typical age-related change? Making a bad decision once in a while. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________
