Di John points out that the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website, https://wwwnc. cdc.gov/travel/page/before-travel, is an excellent starting point for someone planning to visit foreign countries, particularly regarding vaccines that protect travelers rom ge ing iseases in s eci c areas. e ivi es vaccines for travel into three sections – routine, required, and recommended. Routine vaccines are recommended for everyone in the U.S. based on their age, health condition, and other risk factors. A required vaccine is one a traveler must have in order to enter a country – for instance, a yellow fever vaccination is required for entrance into Angola. Recommended vaccines are those the CDC suggests travelers get for protection. A typhoid vaccination, for example, can prevent a dangerous disease spread by contaminated food and water, something not usually found in the U.S. Both Di John and Dr. Ryan Frome, a UNLV resident physician who works closely with Di John, say relying totally on the CDC travel website for medical travel in orma ion is ins cien . “CDC websites provide recommendations, but CDC canno give o s eci c me ical a vice i o n sa s.

Recommendations for vaccines and medicines depend on man ac ors a are s eci c o eac erson including age, health, and itinerary. Your primary care physician, he notes, can make sure you are up to date with all of your routine vaccinations, including measlesm m s-r ella an a seasonal fl vaccine. traveling to Asia, it’s possible that you may need an adult booster dose of polio vaccine even though you completed a routine polio vaccine series as a child – several Asian countries are currently experiencing polio outbreaks. “More than half of tetanus cases are in people over 65, so they should consider a tetanus oos er e ore e ravel rome a s. ere are imes o co rse a e gives s eci c guidance to travelers, including currently telling travelers to forego all non-essential travel to the People’s Republic of China, where the novel coronavirus, without a vaccination o reven i as sic ene an ille o san s. e . . e ar men o a e as iss e a evel ravel visor asking people not to travel to China during the outbreak. o go o o r rimar sician rior o raveling keep in mind that he/she generally does not have vaccines available for all diseases – the expense of having them on hand would be far too high.

The morning’s and previous night’s milk, along with the addition of a culture-rich whey starter and applied heat, results in heavy, compact cheese granules which sink to e o om o e va . sing a s rong mes -li e clo o cheesemakers hoist the mass of granules – each destined to become an 80-pound Parmigiano Reggiano wheel – to the surface and tie them to a wooden rod spanning the vat. Each cloth-coddled cheese is then placed into a ra le mol o give i i s nal s a e. vernig a rigi plastic marking band imprints its authenticity, production date, cheese factory registration number, and the unmistakable dotted Parmigiano Reggiano markings. This serves as an identity card which makes it possible to trace its entire production back to its origins, anytime and anywhere. When removed from the molds, the wheels are le o floa in a rine. “In about three to four weeks, the salt will go into the cheese,” says Cristiana Capelli of the Parmigiano Reggiano Consortium. “Now touch – the rind is already hard. No wax, no plastic. It’s just hardened cheese on the outside. Even the label is edible.” She unlocks the heavy rolling doors, which open to a massive, dimly-lit room with high ceilings, under which rows of cheese wheels sit, gracefully aging. After a minimum of 12 months, the wheels are tapped with a small hammer by a Consortium representative, like Capelli, to check for the slightest of oddities – all to ensure Parmigiano Reggiano’s tradition of integrity and excellence. It’s important to note that for cheese to be Parmigiano eggiano e mil ro c ion rocessing maturation, and packaging all take place exclusively in the provinces of Northern Italy, including Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, and parts of Bologna and Mantua. But there exists many faux Parmigiano Reggiano c eeses going e name armesan in e . . ese are not authenticated, nor made in its original birthplace.
Much like Champagne or Prosciutto di Parma, Parmigiano Reggiano is legally a protected designation of origin Denominazione di Origine Protetta in alian. armigiano eggiano is an e raor inar c eese i aromas an flavors a ren er i ni e an inimitable. Its distinct aroma is reminiscent of fresh grass from the gentle hills nearby. This hard, but not compact, cheese easily surrenders to the spade knife and crumbles into shards to reveal salty nuttiness, with the mildest degree of creaminess and pliability, especially when young, with a slight yet discernible and satisfying crystalline grit.

On the table is yet another example of Lambrusco’s diversity, the metodo classico Unique Rosé Brut Lambrusco, made of Lambrusco Marani grapes.

Medici’s single vineyard “Concerto” Lambrusco

The intensely brilliant wine of dry, fruity exuberance is delectably harmonious with the cuisine. It’s vivaciously fresh with a clean finish, always preparing the palate for what’s next. Perhaps a Lambrusco cocktail to keep the night going at Jigger Spiriti e Cucina in the heart of historical Reggio Emilia? Of course! Lambrusco in cocktails is widely popular here. And understandably so. The deep, fruity, and savory frizzante offers quaffable energy in an already convivial and lively bar. www.davidlv.com | 33

Star Travelers A Round Up of Road Trip Movies.
By Josh Bell
I
n real life, road trips might be quiet or dull, but they might also be transformative, or at least fun and exciting. Iconic road-trip movies can offer some important lessons about what to do (or not to do) on the road, or just demonstrate all the possibilities of leaving home on an open-ended drive to a faraway destination. Their journey may be literal, with characters who travel from one place to another, but a truly good movie offers an emotional, spiritual, or intellectual journey, in addition to just moving its characters from Point A to Point B. Road-trip movies have a unique opportunity to accomplish all of that, and movie characters who hit the road never do it just for the sake of going somewhere. Being on the road changes them, tests them, and in some cases actually kills them, although the best road-trip movies provide satisfying catharsis even if their journeys end up in a dark place. Here, in chronological order, are 10 quintessential road-trip movies, along with some of the wisdom that they impart.
It Happened One Night (1934) At a time when the idea of a road trip was still something new and evolving, Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert took a trip along America’s roadways in this Oscar-winning romantic comedy, one of the last movies from Hollywood’s risqué pre-Code era. By bus and by car (sometimes as hitchhikers), Gable’s reporter Peter Warne and Colbert’s heiress Ellie Andrews bicker and banter and fall in love, stopping at the motor courts and motels that had begun sprouting up on interstate routes. The thrill of meeting someone by chance, a long way from home, and experiencing irresistible chemistry while going on a shared adventure, is one of the tantalizing prospects of setting out on the open road.

Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure (1985)
National Lampoon’s Vacation (1983) Before the dysfunctional but loving Griswolds traveled to Europe, celebrated Christmas, or went to Vegas, the family, led by well-meaning but cl eless a lar ev ase in e e ning role of his career), took a road trip from their home in Illinois to the promised land of the Walley World theme park in California. Not a single thing goes right on the family’s doomed journey, which is held together only by Clark’s manic insistence on amil oge erness. lar s flir a ions i a mystery blonde, played by Christie Brinkley, the family’s expired aunt strapped to the top of their station wagon, Randy Quaid’s redneck Cousin Eddie, and Clark holding a poor Walley World security guard (played by John Candy) at BB gunpoint, are just some of the movie’s iconic con ri ions o lm come . l s in se Buckingham’s theme song “Holiday Road” is essential for any road-trip playlist.
Easy Rider (1969) e movie a in man a s ersoni es e romantic mystery of the American road trip is also a bit of a nightmare, and anyone planning to re-create the journey from Easy Rider probably hasn’t seen the movie recently. The bikers, played by Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper (who also directed), are headed from Los Angeles to New Orleans with money from a drug deal, and their trip isn’t the freewheeling odyssey that people may imagine from the movie’s popculture reputation. Instead, it’s a look at the darkness just off the beaten path, with the main characters bullied and mistreated just as often as they’re embraced and celebrated. There’s peace and love on the road, but also violence and even death, and taking a trip (physically or spiritually) can mean encountering some of both. Best to come prepared.
The combination of the brilliant imagination of director Tim Burton (in his feature debut) and the unique character created by Paul Reubens launched a pop-culture sensation. Pee-Wee Herman has become an instantly recogni a le g re i is signa re gra plaid suit, red bow tie, and piercing laugh, and in Big Adventure he takes a trip across the U.S. in search of his stolen bicycle. The mix of childlike naivete and demented surrealism came to e ne ee- ee an r on an e ens sen the character on a tour of oddball America, from a biker bar where Pee-Wee dances on the tables to “Tequila,” to the memorable roadside dinosaur statues in California, to the Alamo, ere ee- ee is e ermine o n e nonexistent basement. Pee-Wee’s wide-eyed (if misguided) sense of wonder is just the right attitude for road-trip exploration.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) Sometimes a road trip is the only option to get where you’re going, even if it’s not your preferred mode of travel. That’s the case in John Hughes’ classic comedy of discomfort, starring Steve Martin and John Candy as a mismatched pair of travelers who are stuck with each other, e er e li e i or no . i flig s gro n e due to inclement weather, Martin’s high-strung businessman Neal has to team up with Candy’s gregarious salesman Del to get from New York to Chicago, via the various means of transportation in the title. There’s nothing worse than being stuck in a small enclosed space with someone you can’t stand, but Martin and Candy make Neal and Del’s antagonism hilarious to watch, and Hughes adds heart to the adversarial comedy, proving that the stress of the road really can be the best circumstance for making friends.
The Straight Story (1999)
Thelma & Louise (1991) Sure, Thelma (Geena Davis) and Louise (Susan Sarandon) are on the run from the law after Louise shoots a man who was attempting to rape Thelma, but they get to have a surprising amount of fun along the way. Director Ridley Scott and screenwriter Callie Khouri create a raucous good time for the two women as e give e mi le nger o e a riarc traveling along back roads to seedy motels and roadside stops, picking up a hot young drifter ra i in is rs ma or lm role an arel staying ahead of the cops (at least until the iconic ending’s mix of tragedy and triumph). It’s better to avoid violence on your road trip if possible, but everyone should have a travel companion as loyal and supportive as Thelma and Louise are to each other.
The road is the most accessible way to travel, the great equalizer, and even someone with failing eyesight and worn-out knees can still get where they need to go by taking to the roa . a s s a lvin raig ic ar Farnsworth) does in David Lynch’s improbably heartwarming drama, inspired by a true story.

Sideways (2004)
Y Tu Mama Tambien (2001) A road trip is a perfect place for a sexual awakening, away from the constraints of daily life and the judgmental eyes of family. That’s exactly what happens for friends Julio (Gael Garcia Bernal) and Tenoch (Diego Luna) in lmma er l onso aron s rea o lm. The two teenagers convince older woman Luisa (Maribel Verdu) to join them on a road trip through the back roads of Mexico to reach a beautiful beach that may only exist in their imaginations. Both teens lust after Luisa, and they may just lust after each other, too. The freedom to explore is one of the greatest allures of the road, and Cuaron captures that feeling of possibility, sexual and geographic, that comes from being young and heading toward new horizons.
Alexander Payne’s treatise on proper wine drinking actually spawned real-life tours of California’s Santa Ynez Valley, but it’s not exactly a portrait of healthy drinking habits. Paul Giamatti broke out as a leading man with his performance as Miles, a lonely, insecure, failed writer who uses his snooty love of wine as cover for a serious alcohol dependence, and Thomas Haden Church showed new depths as Jack, the equally insecure has-been actor who joins his buddy for a one-week ride through wine country before Jack’s wedding. The road trip offers a chance for old resentments to bubble over, but it also allows the two men to confront their emotional issues and push past their years of denial (at least a little bit). It’s also bitterly funny, from Miles’ now-famous rants against Merlot to bits of awkward physical comedy. A week on the road together can strain a friendship, but it can also give that friendship new life.
Little Miss Sunshine (2006) Not every family road trip is a vacation. The Griswolds have nothing on the Hoovers, who are barely holding themselves together when they decide to drive their vintage Volkswagen van from New Mexico to California so that little Olive (Abigail Breslin, nominated for an Oscar at age 10) can compete in a dubioussounding beauty pageant. Like the Griswolds, they somehow end up chauffeuring the dead body of a relative and they end the trip by forcibly hijacking a beloved attraction (in this case, the Little Miss Sunshine pageant). But the deeply troubled family members also come to terms with many of their personal troubles during the trip, realizing that they have more binding them together than driving them apart. Sometimes it takes leaving home to appreciate what you already have.

Havasu Falls
A Slice of Heaven at the End of the Trail By Jaq Greenspon Photographs by Liad
“T
he place was amazing. I’ve never seen something like that and until you go there you don’t believe it exists.” The words are from Liad, an Israeli born, Las Vegas based photographer, whose keen eye and steady hand captured these images of the Havasu Falls on the Havasupai Reservation. Thankfully, we have her record of this beautiful landscape because getting there yourself isn’t for the easily dissuaded or the faint of heart. Not just to the trail head inside the reservation’s lands, that’s an easy 3½ hour drive from Vegas. It’s the rest of the trip which can be a bit of a hassle, but as Liad gushes, “I didn’t have enough. I wish I could go back one day.” n or er o ac all visi e si e o g e rs ing you need is a reservation, which is easier said than done. Spots open up at 8am Arizona time on February 1st for an annual season, which starts a month later, on March 1st. And you need to be quick on the draw because those few slots can sell out completely within a few hours. Once you have paid for your reservation (currently a 3 night minimum at between $100-125 per person per night), then the planning really starts. “I think it cost us like going for a 5 star hotel in the end with all the gear we bought, the tent and the sleeping bags,” Liad remembers of the trip she took with her family back in 2018. “It’s a 10 mile hike. You carry everything on your back.” In addition to the sleeping gear, Liad and company also bought new shoes and wool socks, specially designed to not cause blisters. They also made plans to pack dry food and plenty of water. “How are we going to take water for 4 or 5 days, it’s a lot of water to take,” she remembers. But then, through a Facebook group and the website of the site itself, she discovered there was a spring of drinkable water near the campsites. It was a big
relief, so aside from the initial water they carried with them in wearable canteens, their rations focused on freeze dried food. They could get water and heat it there. Of course, heating water on a small burner for food was one thing, trying to heat enough for a shower was out of the question. “There are no showers, so if you want to take a shower it’s just in the river. There are some bathrooms. No restaurants of course.” For Liad, whose prior camping experience was limited to pitching a tent near a car, this was something entirely new. “Whatever you take, you take. And whatever you don’t have you can’t buy,” she says. Liad, her husband David, their kids Drew and Hailey and Drew’s girlfriend Tali had to seriously consider every detail about the trip. “You can’t take plastic utensils so everything was washable. We had to use them again. You really put the thought of what you put in your backpack because you have to carry it. It’s not like ‘oh I’ll take another shirt.’ Yeah you’re going to have to carry another shirt. We weighed our bags and everything was calculated.” They also had powdered Gatorade because even in April, when they made their trek, it would get hot in the afternoons. “We started really early in the morning, but when you get there it’s the afternoon. It’s 10 miles of going up and down, it’s a lot of switchbacks and up the hill and down the hill, it’s rocks and it’s mountains and it’s rough.” But in the end, as you can see, all of it was worthwhile. Liad loved the fact she could share this with her family but, she says, “As a photographer, I could stay there forever and explore more, especially at nighttime…we did this [she references our cover photo] (but) there are more waterfalls, and the Milky Way and more things to do!” We can only hope when she does return, we’ll get the ene o er ar is r an vision o s are in ese ages once again. https://www.havasupaireservations.com/ https://www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/havasupai.htm

My Day in Odessa
Exploring the Past & Present Culture of Jews in Ukraine

“I
t is hard to overestimate the contribution of Odessa Jews to the world Jewish history. Walking through the streets of an sraeli ci o ill n a man o them are named after famous Zionists, Jewish writers, historians or political activists, who come from Odessa.� I read these words in the Migdal-Shorashim Museum, dedicated to Jews and the Jewish culture which at one time was ubiquitous in Ukraine. It was a revelation to me, as I wandered the streets of Odessa, how much
my country had given, and been given, to and by the proliferation and decimation of Jewish culture in the area. After the election of Volodymyr Zelensky, with his Jewish heritage, the media discussed the loyalty of Ukrainian society to Jews and how their life could change. I heard and read a lot in the media about this culture, but I wanted to learn more about the history of Ukrainian Jews and see how they live now. Since Odessa has always been the center of Jewish culture in Ukraine, I went there. Odessa, on the Black Sea coast, is home to the largest seaport in the country and is famous for its Jewish culture. The history of the Jews of Odessa begins even before the founding of the city itself. According to historical sources,

Jews settled in the Turkish fortress Hadzhibey, located on the territory of the future Odessa, from the middle of the 18th century. In 1794 (the year Odessa was founded), the Jewish population made up ten percent of all inhabitants and the institutions necessary for a Jewish life were coming into focus. At the beginning of the 19th century, during the time of “port-free” and the prosperity of Odessa, more and more Jews, including the Hasidim, led by Rabbi Moshe Zvi Neria, settled here. At that time, the city held 7 synagogues and 45 houses of worship, 2 large, citywide Jewish charitable institutions, 89 educational institutions and 200 cheders rimar sc ools an signi can e is ro essional mutual aid societies. In 1886, the future spiritual leader of the Bnei Moshe society and one of the founders of the Zionist movement, Ahad-Ha’am (Asher Ginsberg), an outstanding publicist, writer, and thinker, who had a great infl ence on e or o e oe aim- ac man se le in Odessa. He was joined by other early proponents of the movement including M. Lilienblum and Pinsker along with world known Zionist leaders V. Jabotinsky, M. Usyshkin, M. Dizengoff and others, who all spent their days in Odessa. Professor Steven J. Zipperstein considered the Odessa Jewish community the “most modern in the Pale of Settlement,” the most “cultivated” in Europe, and the most ll reflec ing e e erience o e s in raine in ose days. Several Jewish newspapers and magazines were published here, in which many well-known journalists, writers, and historians collaborated. For instance, writers like H. Bialik and S. Chernihovsky made their homes in Odessa and Mendele Mocher Sforim, one of the founders of modern Yiddish literature, moved to the city in 1881 and worked there as a writer until 1917. In fact, by the end of the 19th century, Jews made up about 35% of the city’s population, and in the 1900-1910s, Odessa became the third largest city in the world in terms of Jewish population (after New York and Warsaw). Now, however, with a population of 1 million inhabitants, just over 13 thousand Jews remain. To immerse myself in the Jewish culture of Odessa, after getting off the train, I went to the Jewish quarter and asked if someone could offer me a room for a one-night stay. Quickly, one married couple, Rosa and Ivan, offered, with pleasure, to let me stay in their house, which was located not far from the synagogue, in an authentic Odessa courtyard. Since I only had a day, I started my study of Jewish Odessa immediately. Listening to the advice of my hosts, I went straight to the Migdal-Shorashim Museum, ic e lores e is or o essa e s. Despite its small size, the Migdal-Shorashim Museum, which opened in 2002, is one of the most respected in Ukraine. For me though, particular charm is given by the fact that the museum is located in an apartment. Thus, you completely feel this unique atmosphere, the feeling of immersion in ano er reali ano er ime. ig e i i ion

is not enough. Nevertheless, for myself, after such a journey, Odessa opened for me anew. Turns out, Odessa owes the Jewish people. Much that the Odessa Jews i ere one or e rs ime in raine. n eal care e rs vaccine agains lag e an c olera an e rs ambulance station were created by Jews. Jews created the Odessa language, Odessa cuisine, Odessa literature, and many Odessa traditions. A note at the Migdal-Shorashim Museum summed it up for me: Despite the fact that Odessa’s Jewish population continued to dwindle, reduced down to 20% from the 1950-80s, the overall influence of Odessa’s Jewish community on developments in science, arts, and the overall culture of the city is immeasurable. Starting with the 1960s, we can observe the growth of the Jewish resistance movement in Odessa, otherwise known as the struggle of the refusniks.
Alongside these events in the city, and the later developments of perestroika, Jewish migration out o e an e sim l aneo s re ir an revival of the Jewish community, the 1990s period in postSoviet Odessa was defined. Hence, as the owners of the apartment said, the Odessa cunning, unique intonations, sometimes-irrepressible frugality, and the ability to succeed… are all thanks to the e s. n a i ion i seeme o me a e e s also a the quality to survive in any conditions, under any regimes, supporting each other in every way – this quality needs to be learned by everyone. as invi e o come an s a again or a longer ime. van an osa romise o a e me o e is is orical places outside Odessa and really want to introduce me to eir son. ill e ni el re rn. no ing else learne have much more to learn.
