Publishers’ Letter

I

t’s that time of the year again. I’m still removing the makeup from my Halloween costume and there are already commercials on the TV with those familiar holiday jingles. Heck, my neighbors already have their lights up! Or maybe they just didn’t take them down from last year yet. Well played, Carol!

While rummaging around the office the other day, I happened to stumble upon our very first issue of Bergen County the Magazine. It was Holiday 2001. The awful attacks were still very fresh in our minds, the overwhelming tragedy and incredible change to come weighing heavily on our hearts.

We all needed somewhere to go, something to look to in those daunting days. We had no idea if a magazine in Bergen County would even work—and now, with all that had happened, the odds certainly did not appear in our favor.

In our very first “Publisher’s Letter,” we expressed the aim of the publication: “This is a magazine for and about the people of Bergen County. The magazine is designed to highlight the people who make this one of the greatest places in America to live.” Fourteen years later, that still holds true.

The success BC the Mag has enjoyed remains a testament to the great people of Bergen County. There has been no bigger pleasure than watching my family, and my business grow and prosper in this wonderful community.

This leads me directly to our Giving Back Guide. Each year this list of organizations established to help those in need grows. There are so many remarkable people who make up the fabric of our county, but there are also so many who need our help each day. Those cans of soup sitting in your cupboard that nobody at home wants can go a long way in warming someone’s heart.

Though I swear I’m thankful all year round for everyone who helps to put this labor of love together, I’d like to take this opportunity for some particular callouts. First off, of course, is my husband, Steven, for being my love, my best friend and my co-captain in these magazines. Words can never express how special you are to me. To my daughter, Carlye, who by this time next year will be an attorney: You make me so proud each and every day. To Brandon, you’re by far the biggest pain in my ass, but only because you make me work more than I want to! Nayda, our editor, we cannot do this without you. Our years of working together have been wonderful, and I look forward to so many more.

In closing, I look to the words of my friend, Judy Paulen. In our first issue, she contributed this quote: “In these uncertain times getting together with family and friends is a reminder that the fabric of our lives has not changed. Being surrounded by those that you love, singing, dancing, or just talking brings us back to what is most important to all of us. This year, above all, continuing family traditions and celebrating life is what it’s all about.”

May your holidays be filled with love and happiness.

Love,

Sharon and Steven Goldstein

Harris Faulkner There’s No Place Like Bergen

After a childhood of moving from place to place, “army brat” and Emmy award-winning journalist Harris Faulkner has found a place to call home in Bergen County’s Edgewater.

H

arris Faulkner—TV show host, anchor, mom and wife—has many obligations to balance in her life, but Bergen County has allowed her a way of fulfilling all of her professional duties, while still allowing her to be home in time for dinner.

“I have a second grader and a kindergartner and there are a lot of reasons why I love living here,” Faulkner explains. “We fell in love with Edgewater because of its proximity to the city, but also because it was just a really pretty town and the schools were good and as we became more North Jersey oriented, we got to see all the different communities in Bergen County and we fell in love with it. And I can walk everywhere.

I can walk to Whole Foods Market, to the drug store, to the post office, to the schools

November/December 2014

in our area. I’ve never lived in a town where I could have so much walk-ability, where literally you could look across the river, less than a mile away, and see the Manhattan skyline.

I feel really blessed.”

Faulkner is the anchor of FOX Report Weekend and a co-panelist on Fox News Channel’s Outnumbered, a talk show that includes four co-hosts and #oneluckyguy, and while she loves the community feel of her Bergen County home, her journalism career stems from her many years of traveling and moving with her family.

Growing up, Faulkner and her family moved often, because of her father’s career.

He was a combat pilot in the army and so, by high school, Faulkner had moved at least 12 times to various locations all over the world, ranging from Kansas and New Jersey to Germany.

“My mom really made it work for my sister and me,” Faulkner says. “It was interesting because she said ‘It’s never about your stuff. The minute you hit the ground at a new location, you have to get out and meet the people; try to have a taste of what they’re doing.’ So, my mom would give us each a big box and it would be marked “first open” and it would have those items that would most make our room feel like home no matter where we were, and we would unpack that first, and it would have all our favorite stuff and it was that feeling like ‘Okay, I can hang here,’ and then she would always want to take a walk in the neighborhood to meet the neighbors.”

These trips around the neighborhood became ritual and soon Faulkner became the mini news reporter for the family, as her parents would task her with learning what

was going on in the community and collecting information. This, coupled with her love of writing, led her to the University of California at Santa Barbara to pursue a degree in mass communications.

“I knew that I wanted to write. I knew that that was something I wanted to do but I’ve always had this thirst for current events. I want to know what’s happening in the world,” she explains. “World events are like a puzzle—everything fits together one way or another.”

This love of puzzles and events has led her to a successful career in journalism, as Faulkner has been awarded six Emmy awards, including the 2004 Emmy for Best Newscaster and Best News Special.

“I remember walking up to the stage to get my first Emmy award. My knees were shaking and I couldn’t believe they called my name. There was so much talent across the country in different newsrooms, so to be walking up there to accept the award, so many things were going through my mind,” she notes. “I think the biggest thing was ‘Mom and Dad, I did listen to you,’ because they used to tell me ‘If you just work hard at what you do and you really try your best to be the best at what you’re doing, and help people along the way, because that’s really important because you got help along the way, and if you apply all of yourself, at every opportunity, great things will come. And every now and then, others will recognize you but that’s not why you do it.’”

Faulkner has specialized her career around breaking news, so her life in Bergen County has helped to accommodate for that, as she is never more than a drive over the George Washington Bridge or a ferry trip away from her job.

And while she keeps a six-day work week, Faulkner always finds time for date night with her husband at restaurants like Pier 115, a new find that positions itself so far at the end of the pier that “it looks like you’re about to walk right in to New York City.” The restaurant specializes in fresh fish and doubles as a sports bar as well. She also enjoys time with her kids, taking them outdoors to parks such as Palisades State Park and Van Saun, the latter which Faulkner describes as “one of the coolest places I’ve ever seen,” with its numerous amenities including a zoo, a carousel and tennis courts.

This find was discovered through a recommendation from neighbors with kids around the same age as hers.

“My mom was right. The first thing you should do is unpack your favorite box and meet your neighbors.

We’ve got great neighbors in Edgewater and I love living there,” Faulkner says. “It’s neat to live in a place that proves that Mom was right and it’s a really pretty place to live.”

Exploring Wines of

New Zealand

The other Down Under island is serious about its wine.

New Zealand remains a land of contention among wine fans. On the one hand, it is credited with discovering and producing a hallmark expression of the Sauvignon Blanc grape. On the other, one U.K. winemaker recently complained about being inundated with “soulless” mid-priced Sauvignon Blancs and “pungent fruit bombs.” But in fact, wonderful wines hail from this other land Down Under.

Loveblock Sauvignon Blanc 2013 (Marlborough)

Cloudy Bay Te Wahi Pinot Noir 2011 (Central Otago)

Your first exposure to organic wines may likely have been from winemaker Kim Crawford. Kim and his wife, Erica Crawford, sold their eponymous brand and have been away for a while. Now Erica returns with Loveblock, still focused on organic, season-sensitive winemaking. Stepping away from New Zealand’s signature big, bold style, this 100% Sauvignon Blanc, planted on a hilltop above the Awatere Valley, is textural and round, with notes of peach, citrus, fresh grass and fig. Pair with grilled hake dressed with cherry tomatoes, spicy microgreens and capers, or New Zealand Greenshell mussels with Asian salsa. $26

The first new label in 18 years for the venerable Cloudy Bay brand, Te Wahi (“The Place” in Maori) highlights that New Zealand has become serious about its Pinot Noir. These grapes hail from the Central Otago region in New Zealand’s Southern Valley (the first time the brand has sourced outside of Marlborough). Heavy clay-based Ice Age soils and an unpredictable growing season (warm start, rainy veraison, a grape-growing term signifying “the start of ripening”) and attentive management have produced a complex, lush wine with notes of berry fruit, strawberry, red cherry, black pepper and allspice, with a spice-and-earth finish. Pair with venison medallions with roasted squash, or grilled lamb. $75

Loveblock Pinot Noir 2012 (Central Otago)

Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2013 (Marlborough)

More than 70% of New Zealand’s Pinot Noir is grown in “The Central,” one of the few inland areas for grape growing in the country. The mountainous region on the South Island is home to a small vineyard dubbed “Someone’s Darling” where protection from marine influences and broad diurnal temperature shifts make for intriguing Pinot Noirs here. On the nose, enjoy deep aromatics of floral notes, black cherry, blackberry and sage. On the palate, you will find a hint of forest earth and oak, with medium-light tannins, and overtones of red cherry and warm strawberry. Pair with roasted beef tenderloin and grilled pear salad. $37

Since this iconic brand launched in 1985 it has been a vanguard producer in defining New Zealand’s signature grape. Produced from estate- and grower-sourced vineyards in the Wairau Valley, it has a compressed two-week harvest due to a mild and sunny growing season with little variation. The result: a bright, concentrated wine. Pronounced grapefruit and lime zest aromatics finish with floral and just-ripe stone fruit undertones. On the mouth, it is pleasantly bright and zesty, with notes of ripe citrus, tropical fruit, stone fruit, and a lengthy mineral and herb finish.

Pair with a tomato and goat cheese salad, or gnocchi with pesto. $25

Beauty Bounties Turn your holiday leftovers into DIY beauty treatments with these expert ideas.

T

he holidays are a time for family, friends and, of course, food! Instead of filling your fridge with unwanted holiday dishes, make better use of your leftovers. Here are some creative uses for turning your leftovers into do-it-yourself beauty treatments.

HAIR

Banana Cream Pie Benefit: Rich in potassium, natural oils, carbohydrates and vitamins, all which help to soften the hair and protect its natural elasticity, preventing split ends and breakage.

Use: Create a wonderfully hydrating, healthy and chemical-free hair mask by adding honey and olive oil to the banana cream filling. Apply the mask to your hair, brush through and let sit for 15 minutes. After rinsing, your hair will be soft and supple, visibly reducing the appearance of split ends.

EYES

Sweet Potatoes Benefit: High in iron, fiber and beta-carotene which aids in the production of new skin cells and helps to smooth out fine lines.

Use: For a wrinkle-reducing eye treatment, slice two pieces of cold sweet potato and place on each eye for 20 minutes. The colder the sweet potato slices, the more effective the treatment will be.

EYES

Jello Mold Benefit: The cold molds constrict the blood vessels and help to reduce fluid retention around the eyes.

Use: Wrap two Jello molds in plastic wrap and freeze overnight.

Apply a hydrating eye cream to the orbital area of each eye and strategically place the frozen molds on top. Eyes will be left looking younger and fresher, without a trace of puffiness.

November/December 2014

SKIN

Cranberries Benefit: Considered one of the most powerful antioxidants, cranberries are anti-bacterial as well as anti-inflammatory and can help to stimulate collagen.

Use: For an exfoliating mask, mash up leftover cranberries with raw sugar, oatmeal and a little cranberry juice. Leave the mask on for 10 minutes and rinse to create a healthy glow.

SKIN

Mashed Potatoes Benefit: Contains potassium, magnesium, phosphorus and zinc, as well as skin-benefiting antioxidants like vitamin C and B complex, which helps to clear up acne.

Use: To scrub away dead skin cells, mix 1 tablespoon of mashed potatoes with sea salt.

SKIN

Pumpkin

SKIN

Pomegranate Seeds

Benefit: Contains vitamin A, vitamin C and zinc to help reduce inflammation and redness.

Benefit: The juice found in pomegranate seeds contains a potent dose of antioxidants.

Use: Mix leftover pumpkin with milk and honey for a nutritiously hydrating mask. In need of exfoliation? Add a little brown sugar to the blend. Leave your homemade mask on for 20 minutes for gorgeous, soothing skin.

Use: Mix with avocado, raw sugar, honey and orange peel for a refreshing body scrub. The sugar works to slough off dead skin cells, while honey and avocado oils moisturize and plump the skin, and the orange peel offers vitamin C, leaving a healthy glow.

SKIN

Beer

Benefit: The brewer’s yeast in beer helps balance the pH level in skin and contains anti-bacterial properties and vitamin B complex, which improves acne.

Use: To refresh and improve skin texture, apply as a toner all over the face and décolletage area after cleansing.

SKIN

Coffee Benefit: Caffeine helps to treat skin redness and inflammation, as well as reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Use: After your morning cup of Joe, take the granules into the shower and rub them onto your body, focusing on areas that need extra tightening. They also make a great exfoliating addition to any facial product.

Linda’s List

Wow Westwood W

hat better way to start my ME day than with a four layer facial at the quaint and welcoming Mezzaluna Day Spa (333 Broadway). What an impressive facial in this cozy spa. My face glowed with renewed moisture, and my body was so relaxed that I felt like I was f loating away on a cloud of serenity.

Still basking in that delightful ahhh-spa afterglow, I headed to the family-owned Sogno Cafe House (425 Broadway), where I was greeted with excellent service in a warm and comfy environment. Definitely a must-try! Just don’t expect me to tell you what I ordered; I was bad and I refuse to incriminate myself. (A little hint, though: They are known for their fabulous desserts and I’m now wired for sound with enough energy for four people!)

Soooo, I sauntered over to Hartly’s Fashions (104 Westwood Avenue), where I knew I’d find the perfect dress and handbag. And, as usual, the extremely accommodating staff didn’t let me down. They helped me to find the most divine dress for an upcoming black tie event I’ll soon be attending. Phew! Thanks to Sloane and her terrific staff, a huge fashion weight was effortlessly lifted off my shoulders.

Feeling fashionably lucky, I visited LaViano Jewelers (175 Westwood Avenue). Jeff always knows the right piece(s) to show me. The selection is overwhelmingly delightful, so it was no problem finding the perfect necklace to complement my new dress from Hartly’s Fashion. Yay, me!

With all this retail therapy, my hair needed some TLC as well. This meant stopping in at Sydney Madison Salon (289 Westwood Avenue). Believe me, it’s no easy task to blow out my thick and curly Italian tresses. But Kim nailed it beautifully.

From there, I went over to Mezza (20 Jefferson Avenue) for some yummy Mediterranean food. Then it was on to Shaw’s Book Store (79 Westwood Avenue), where the staff could not have been nicer or more knowledgeable. The store was packed with best sellers and I spent a pleasant time browsing the shelves and reading the back covers until I made my perfect pick.

Thinking to get a head start on my reading, I took my new book and indulged in a “beverage” at the bar section of the Iron Horse (20 Washington Avenue). The Iron Horse is truly a mainstay in the best county in New Jersey. As I sat there and enjoyed my beverage, my thoughts turned to food once again.

Oh where, oh where should I have my dinner? And the winner is… grange (31 Westwood Avenue). Since I need to fit into my new black dress—and I already cheated on breakfast—I ordered the sensible yet scrumptious orchard salad. It was to die for! Note to self: I’m going to have to come back because the menu changes frequently.

By the time I finished eating, it was late and I was bushed. Too bad I was so tired as I would have loved to drive over to Maci Woman’s Clothing Store (190 Westwood Avenue, Old Tappan) to see my good friend Ejona. But no worries; I’ll simply put this must-stop-in store on my to-do list.

With that consoling thought, I decided to call it a day. And what a thoroughly enjoyable one it was. Westwood is a very friendly town full of great places. And oh, yeah FYI—I spotted copies of BC THE MAG in many stores. Clearly, you and I are not the only ones that love this fab mag.

See you next time. Ciao!

he holidays are responsible for as much as 10 pounds of weight gain between November and the New Year.

Busy schedules for holiday shopping can cut into time previously used for exercise, as well as for making healthy choices for meals and snacks.

Prevent this from happening by thinking through events that can result in compulsive decisions about food choices. Here are some savvy holiday coping strategies for dealing with some of the top holiday hurdles.

Beware work temptations. At the office during coffee breaks, avoid the pitfall of holiday baked goods. If a small bite can become a return for second helpings, then don’t take any at all!

Be smart about beverages. Alcoholic drinks are not only more calories, they can also trigger hunger by lowering blood glucose. Beware of beverages with an umbrella or fruit and served in large glasses. These are typically high in calories due to their juice or creamy content.

Eat before you attend holiday gatherings. Don’t come to parties hungry or you likely won’t be able to pass on pre-dinner appetizers, which can jack up calories because they can typically be 100 calories each! Eat a small snack before going to this kind of party and skip the appetizers.

Wage a battle with buffets. An invitation to overeat, buffets can be beaten if properly handled. You can look at the entire buffet table and pick only foods that are really special and keep the portions small.

(Remember, the high-priced items like shrimp are at the end of the line when plates are full.) Take a small spoonful of everything. Choose three items and go back for a moderate-sized second serving.

The holidays are the time of year to enjoy good times. Taking these steps may prevent gaining weight after the party is over.

2014 Holiday Movie Preview

Tis the season to check out what’s on the big screen.

M

ovie aficionados will have lots to choose from in the last two months of the year as studios and independent producers present a lineup of intriguing motion pictures. Upcoming films run the entire gamut of genres. The Best of Me, based on a Nicholas Sparks novel, reunites high school sweethearts after 20 years when they return to their small hometown for the funeral of a friend. Beyond the Lights explores the pressures and tribulations of a music superstar. The animated Penguins of Madagascar shows a quartet of penguins joining forces with a chic spy organization to stop a villain from taking over the world. Horrible Bosses 2 finds Nick, Dale and Kurt trying to become their own bosses by starting their own business, with comic results. The Pyramid combines horror and archaeology as a team of scientists unearths a huge object and discovers, as they explore it, that they are being hunted. The musical Annie has been updated to the present with a largely black cast as the title character tries to transition from a hard knock life to one of privilege.

Following are descriptions of ten additional movies—with their release dates—likely to be among the most eagerly anticipated of the holiday season.

Rosewater November 7

It’s based on The New York Times best-selling memoir Then They Came For Me: A Family’s Story of Love, Captivity, and Survival, written by Maziar Bahari. The film marks the directorial debut of The Daily Show host Jon Stewart and stars Gael Garcia Bernal as the Tehran-born Bahari, a broadcast journalist with Canadian citizenship. In June 2009, Bahari returned to Iran to interview Mir-Hossein Mousavi, the prime challenger to then-President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. As Mousavi’s supporters rose up to protest Ahmadinejad’s victory declaration hours before the polls closed, Bahari sent footage of the street riots to the BBC despite the risk to himself. Bahari was arrested by police led by a man identifying himself only as “Rosewater,” who tortured and interrogated him over the next 118 days.

With Bahari’s wife leading an international campaign to free him and Western media outlets keeping the story alive, Iranian authorities released Bahari on $300,000 bail.

November/December 2014

Interstellar November 7

The film does not paint a pretty picture of the future: governments and economies across the globe have collapsed, food is scarce, NASA is a shadow of what it once was, and the 20th century is to blame. A mysterious rip in space-time opens and it’s up to whatever is left of NASA to explore and offer hope for mankind. Climate change has caused global crop failure, with corn the last crop to be cultivated. The scientists aren’t seeking alien life; they are looking for a world with conditions suitable to growing food.

Directed by Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight, Inception), the film stars Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Bill Irwin, Ellen Burstyn, John Lithgow, Matt Damon, Casey Affleck, Topher Grace and Michael Caine. Nolan based the plot on the theories of physicist Kip Thorne.

In an attempt to give the film a realistic look, Nolan shot in as many locations as possible, including Iceland, and had sets built rather than relying too heavily on CGI effects. Nolan is masterful at visuals and high-concept ideas, so it should be fascinating to see how he handles a mega-budget sci-fi.

Dumb and Dumber To November 14

It’s not often that a sequel takes 18 years to come to the screen, but that’s how long it’s been since audiences howled with laughter at Dumb and Dumber. The Farrelly brothers long expressed a desire to make a follow-up to their original film, which starred Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels as good-natured but intelligence-challenged friends Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne. Supposedly, Carrey was hesitant to make a sequel. However, he and Daniels are back to reprise their signature roles. The film’s original directors, Peter and Bobby Farrelly, wrote and directed this continuation of the pair’s comic adventures. This time, Lloyd and Harry are on a road trip to find a child Harry never knew he had. This results in responsibility that neither can handle.

Foxcatcher November 14

Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum) sees a way out from the shadow of his celebrated wrestler brother Dave (Mark Ruffalo) and a life of poverty when eccentric multimillionaire John du Pont (Steve Carell) proposes that Mark move onto his estate and train for the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Desperate to gain the respect of his disapproving mother, du Pont begins his unorthodox method of coaching a world-class athletic team and, in the process, lures Mark into dangerous habits, destroys his confidence and drives him into a self-destructive spiral.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 November 21

The third film in the series continues the story of Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), who returns to District 13 after she literally shatters the games forever. The leaders of the rebellion want her to spearhead the uprising against the tyrannical Capitol and its leader, President Snow (Donald Sutherland). She is hesitant, but under the leadership of President Coin (Julianne Moore) and the advice of her trusted friends, Katniss fights to save Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) and lead a nation moved by her courage.

This installment is the first of two films based on the novel of the title.

Reprising their roles are Liam Hemsworth (Gale Hawthorne), Woody Harrelson (Haymitch Abernathy), Elizabeth Banks (Effie Trinket) and, in his final screen role, Philip Seymour Hoffman (Plutarch). The movie series is based on a trilogy of novels by Suzanne Collins.

Exodus: Gods and Kings December 12

From director Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Prometheus) comes this adventure, set in Biblical times that relates the story of one man’s courage to battle an empire. Moses (Christian Bale) rises up against the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses (Joel Edgerton), unleashing a terrifying cycle of deadly plagues and setting 600,000 slaves on a monumental journey of escape from Egypt. The story of Moses was filmed twice before, as a silent epic in 1923 and in a 1956 Technicolor spectacle, both directed by Cecil B. De Mille and both titled The Ten Commandments. The latter version starred a chisel-jawed Charlton Heston as Moses, with thousands of extras replicating the mass exodus of the Jewish slaves from Egypt. In the upcoming interpretation, the plot focuses on a brother versus brother tale pitting Moses against his adopted sibling Ramses. Computer-generated imagery will amplify the visuals of warfare, plagues and acts of God described in the Bible.

The cast includes Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad), Sigourney Weaver (Avatar), John Tuturro (Transformers: Dark of the Moon), Ben Kingsley (Iron Man 3) and Indira Varma (Game of Thrones).

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies December 17

This picture brings to a conclusion the adventures of Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) and the Company of Dwarves. Having reclaimed their homeland from the dragon Smaug, the Company has unwittingly unleashed a deadly force as the enraged Smaug rains his fiery wrath down upon the defenseless people of Laketown. Obsessed above all else with his reclaimed treasure, Thorin sacrifices friendship and honor to hoard it. Bilbo’s frantic attempts to make him see reason drive the Hobbit toward a desperate and dangerous choice. Even greater dangers lie ahead.

Unseen by any but the Wizard Gandfalf (Ian McKellen), the great enemy Sauron has sent forth legions of Orcs in a stealth attack upon the Lonely Mountain. Dwarves, elves and men must unite or be destroyed. Bilbo finds himself fighting for his life and the lives of his friends in the epic Battle of the Five Armies, as the future of Middle-earth hangs in the balance.

November/December 2014

Into the Woods December 25

Based on the Stephen Sondheim stage musical, the film is a modern twist on Grimm Brothers fairy tales that intertwines the plots of a few choice stories—“Cinderella,” “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Rapunzel” and “Jack and the Beanstalk”—to explore the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests.

These classic tales are tied together by an original story involving a baker and his wife, their wish to begin a family and their interaction with a witch who has put a curse on them. The cast includes Johnny Depp (The Wolf), Meryl Streep (Witch), Chris Pine (Cinderella’s Prince), Emily Blunt (Baker’s Wife), Anna Kendrick (Cinderella), Lucy Punch (Lucinda) and Mackenzie Mauzy (Rapunzel).

Since the film is a Disney project, there have been several changes to keep the project family friendly. The film includes several songs from the play, which premiered on Broadway in 1987 and went on to win Tony Awards for Best Score, Best Book and Best Actress in a Musical. The big-screen adaptation features songs from the stage musical, including “Children Will Listen,” “Giants In the Sky,” “No One is Alone” and “Agony.”

Unbroken December 25

Directed by Angelina Jolie, this is the amazing true story of Louis Zamperini (Jack O’Connell), an Olympic runner who was taken prisoner by Japanese forces during World War II. John Magaro portrays Frank A. Tinker, an Air Force dive bomb pilot and opera singer who befriends Zamperini en route to a Japanese POW camp. At age 19, Zamperini qualified for the Olympics in track and field. He wound up finishing in eighth place at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, where he met Hitler and stole his personal Nazi flag. In 1940, Zamperini’s dreams of winning a gold medal came to a halt when the Olympics were cancelled at the start of World War II. He joined the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1941, later flying several dangerous missions across the Pacific. In the summer of 1943, he was the only man of an 11-man crew to survive an attack over the ocean. Initially, Zamperini and two other crewmembers survived on a raft, collecting rainwater to drink and killing birds for food. One crewmember died on day 33; the other two survived a total of 47 days. They drifted 2,000 miles to the Marshall Islands, where they were taken prisoner by the Japanese. Zamperini endured constant torture and starvation for more than two years. After the war he returned to his family, and married in 1946. Zamperini died last July at the age of 97 after a bout of pneumonia.

Big Eyes December 25

In this true story, Walter Keane (Christoph Waltz) is a man whose paintings of big-eyed kids with haunting expressions become a popular phenomenon in the 1950s and 1960s and make Keane and wife, Margaret, (Amy Adams) very rich.

But there is a secret tied to the paintings. Walter is not the painter. Margaret is.

She is, however, too shy to be a public figure, so she allows her husband to sell the paintings under his name. She thus never receives public recognition for her achievements, while Walter becomes a national celebrity and talk show fixture as he pioneers the mass production of prints of large-eyed kids. Walter’s primary contribution is signing the paintings that Margaret turns out in their basement.

Directed by Tim Burton, the movie focuses on a heated divorce battle during which Margaret accuses her husband of stealing her paintings. The case culminates in a dramatic courtroom showdown. Also starring are Krysten Ritter, Danny Huston, Terence Stamp and Jason Schwartzman.

Dennis Seuling is a resident of Maywood.

A message from our Founder:

I am often asked why we sell Zounds® Hearing aids for so much less than other premium brands.

Charging less for a superior product is unheard of these days, and as consumers, we are accustomed to paying more for better quality. Over the years, my wife and I bought a number of high priced hearing aids, searching in vain for the one that would really help our little girl. I have met a number of adults who would not spend “that kind of money” on themselves, and so they purchase cheap amplification devices or go without. This experience has provided the direction for my company. The goal of Zounds® Hearing is to provide the best quality hearing aids with the most innovative technology at the lowest prices we possibly can. The dedicated professionals at your local Zounds® Hearing Center are all committed to this shared goal.

Sincerely, Sam Thomasson, Founder and CEO

Editor’s note: Our writer visited in early May when troubles between Russia and Ukraine were just coming to a head (as was recently passed legislation against homosexuality). At the time of this writing, continuing unrest in and around Ukraine and sanctions from Europe and the U.S. may affect the availability of goods and services, safety, and readers’ opinion of wishing to patronize Vladimir Putin’s Russia.

Prime Steakhouse 251 Pascack Road, Washington Township

201-497-8999 // primesteakhousew.com Carnivores assemble! Prime Steakhouse, the new steak restaurant that has opened for business in Washington Township, is already making its mark as one of the county’s great steakhouses. Chef Bob Sabani and co-owner Durim M. have brought dryaged steaks and what they’re betting on as the “ultimate dining experience,” to the former Vincent’s Trattoria location.

They offer cuts of USDA dry-aged prime beef; the effect of the dry-aging process is the concentration of flavor, according to Durim. A flavor they hope you “won’t forget” as your sizzling steak is brought to your table on a steaming skillet. Not much of a steak eater? There’s also a selection of seafood, ranging from whole Maine lobsters to wild Atlantic salmon and a raw bar with items such as clams, oysters and lump crab meat.

Chef Sabani has a history of co-owning multiple restaurants and working in steakhouses across the tri-state area. The BYO restaurant is open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Sunday.

Teaneck Doghouse 1415 Palisade Avenue, Teaneck 201-530-7733 // teaneckdoghouse.com

Teaneck Doghouse, the “only Kosher sports restaurant in town,” opened in Teaneck in September just in time for the start of the NFL football season. Doghouse’s 28 TVs will be showing all sports all the time, though of course, the restaurant is closed Friday night and Saturday during the day.

Owner Jonathan Gellis emphasizes that this isn’t just a sports bar, but a place the whole family can go for a great all-around experience.

The kitchen is under the supervision of Rabbi Zushe Yosef Blech, Hasgachat Kashrus of Kehillas Bais Ben Zion, Monsey, New York. The food menu consists of standard pub fare, including appetizers (wings, nachos, chicken fingers, onion rings and fries), sandwiches, burgers, as well as a large selection of hot dogs and toppings. For the bar, they will offer beer, six to eight wines and standard spirits/cocktails.

Sangria

1033 MacArthur Boulevard, Mahwah 201-962-3310 // sangriamahwah.com

Sangria Restaurant and Bar, a restaurant specializing in Spanish cuisine with a modern twist, has opened in Mahwah. As a second-generation restaurateur, owner Alfredo Alonso has worked with Executive Chef Hank Barrett to craft a menu of various dishes—using authentic Spanish spices and ingredients—for both lunch and dinner. There’s also a tapas menu, which is available all day.

The dinner menu includes items such as La Tabla Sangria, which is a charcuterie and cheese plate that includes salchichon and sobresada, as well as Manchego cheese and several other items. Chef’s specialties such as grilled octopus and paella complement many traditional favorites. The tapas menu offers an opportunity to sample many of Sangria’s great dishes.

The bar offers traditional and signature sangrias, utilizing wines from around the world including different regions of Spain. The restaurant, which seats 90, is styled after a rustic Spanish bistro and is open Mondays through Saturdays for lunch and every day for dinner.

DVine Bar

6 Depot Square, Sparkill, NY 845-359-2141 // grapedvine.com

Sometimes we must leave our comfort zone, and that means going outside of the food haven that is Bergen County. DVine Bar in Sparkill, New York, offers a great opportunity to hop over New Jersey’s northern border for a true culinary treat.

Opened next to Grape D’Vine, the menu at DVine Bar, from Chef Chris Holland, features plates from around the world, which can then be paired with an extensive wine list curated by the experts at their wine shop right next door.

The menu is both wildly eclectic and at some points vague (in a fun way). One great example of this is the Checks Mix. The explanation of the dish: “Our adult version of a childhood favorite.” Other items include a Campfire Steak: Hickory smoked steak, bacon BBQ sauce and Gorgonzola stuffed fingerlings, as well as a cheese plate with the explanation: “Something old, something new, something borrowed and something bleu.”

An outdoor seating area is available when the weather is appropriate; the restaurant is open Tuesdays through Saturdays for dinner.

Reservations can be made online or by phone.

Novo

37 Chestnut Street, Ridgewood

201-444-4910 // novomediterranean.com Novo, the new restaurant from Eli Kachlon (previously at Gordon Ramsay at The London, Oceana) is open for business in Ridgewood.

The BYO will have constantly changing seasonal menus consisting of Chef Kachlon’s take on Mediterranean fare―with specific influences from Europe, North Africa and the Middle East―plus a dedicated pastry chef crafting homemade desserts.

Some must-try appetizers are the Haloumi Cigars: Mediterranean spring rolls with Haloumi cheese, spinach, zucchini and a cashew dipping sauce, and the Novo Seasonal Flatbread. Entrées include Jerusalem Artichoke Ravioli: homemade ravioli stuffed with Jerusalem artichokes, garlic and sage, and served with sautéed spinach, purslane, feta, Jerusalem artichoke chips and a yogurt sauce; and Homemade Seafood Couscous: hand-rolled fresh couscous served with shrimp, black mussels, squid, pieces of whole fish and vegetables in a seafood broth, which can also be prepared as a vegetarian or vegan entrée.

Novo is open for dinner only (lunch is coming) and offers valet parking, which should be a bit of relief from the often-frustrating Ridgewood parking dynamic. Reservations can be made via www. opentable.com/novo or by phone.

Social 162

162 Main Street, Nyack, NY 845-535-3133 // social162.com

Nidia Alexander of Cafe Barcel in Nyack, New York, decided to make some changes this summer—introducing Social 162, a new restaurant with a more casual feel, revamped American small plates menu with cocktails, craft beer and wine.

The restaurant footprint is the same, though the space has been renovated with new wood walls and artwork, extended bar (doubled in size), a few high tops and four TVs for sports.

Chef Steve Permaul (David Burke) is still in the kitchen, rolling out a menu of shareable plates and salads, with a few entrées as well.

House-made meatballs and the Hickory Smoked BBQ Pulled Pork Toast are just a small taste of the many offerings.

The bar is offering five draught beers and another eight to ten in the bottle. The bar manager has created several signature cocktails, using many craft spirits and fresh juices. And there’s “Social Hour” for those who are spending time at the bar, which is the Social 162 version of happy hour.

Social 162 is open six days (closed Tuesdays) with lunch service on the weekends. Friday and Saturday nights will see the kitchen open till midnight and the bar till 2am, with other nights changing, depending on sporting events and music plans.

Delvina

172 Piermont Road, Creskill

201-816-0239 // delvinarestaurant.com Brothers Rossi, Imer and Enver have opened Delvina, a Northern Italian restaurant in Cresskill. The restaurant, which replaces Spasso, is offering a menu of homemade pastas, Italian appetizers and entrées plus a “specials-only”—since they only offer what they’ve received from the fish market fresh each day—seafood menu. The family has all spent time working in the restaurant industry, with Rossi owning Cliffs Steakhouse and Cafe Italiano in Englewood Cliffs where Enver was the chef in the kitchen and Imer worked in the front of the house.

Some interesting menu items include the Angelotti Alba: handmade pasta pockets stuffed with wild mushrooms and a hint of truffle in a pink sauce, and Fettuccine Delvina: homemade noodles with smoked salmon, sundried tomato, fresh chives, vodka and mascarpone.

Lobster tails, prime sirloin, and an array of chicken and veal dishes round out the traditional cuisine.

Delvina is open seven days a week, and offers a varied selection of wines and spirits.

Predictions

Time to Move Ahead January

February

March

Keep looking towards tomorrow; it will leave room for second chances. Maybe you didn’t get that apartment or house you were looking at, but better ones are out there waiting. Remember that timing, patience and understanding are the gifts we learn to give ourselves.

Keep this in mind and you will notice a simple wink or maybe a nod, which will let you know you are on the right track. Everything will lighten up—work will get easier and your social life will begin to flourish as soon as you are on track.

Every day brings you a new opportunity! Whether it involves your life, your mind or something like your living room, the one common denominator is change. When you have new things surrounding you, there will be winks and nods in your direction. Enjoy your newfound change, plan a trip to celebrate with a friend. Keep smiling and know that once you begin making changes you should expect more. Change may seem scary at first but once you embrace it, things will start improving.

Step out of your comfort zone tomorrow. Time to get serious about school or work. Set a goal for yourself and don’t give up; you can achieve whatever you want, if your desire is strong enough. Focus on your victory.

Make sure you don’t ignore family and friends on your journey. Attend family functions and go to that movie.

They will be there in the end to celebrate your achievements. Your perfect mentor could be the one standing right next to you giving you an encouraging nod.

April

May

June

You are all about compassion and desire; think about it. It can change more than your day. It changes lives.

Show up and participate with compassion, then stick around with desire like it matters. You are the center of the universe to a lot of people. Don’t let them down.

Organize an office party or a high school reunion and just watch how many winks you get. Maybe one of those winks can light a romantic flame you weren’t expecting. Romance is in the air, so react, respond and participate.

You have been extremely busy these days and need to catch up with friends and family. It may not take much to brighten someone else’s day. Making someone smile will bring a smile to your own face. You might also want to make some changes at home, such as paint a room or just change the décor. Throw a party for a few close friends. They will all be so impressed with your creative flair, and some of them might want you to help them revamp their own place. Your knack for design may even turn into a part-time hobby or sideline.

You don’t get karma points for doing the things you want to do. You get karma points for going above and beyond, even when common sense may tell you not to pursue it. Think kindness today and you will be smiling for a long time. Things will finally pay off and lighten the load a bit financially. Keep saving for a rainy day, and if it doesn’t rain. you will be able to afford that sunny vacation you never thought possible.

That’s the wink karma might send your way. You will be having some pretty lucky moments coming up.

July

August

September

It’s time for a new beginning. Life certainly has given you some lemons. But it’s now time to sit back and enjoy the lemonade. Business is about to take you into overtime, although you will never notice by your social calendar. You have the ability to do it all, and have energy to spare. You will find yourself planning a party, a vacation, a quick getaway. Whatever it is, things will be running smoothly, so enjoy the ride. Winks and nods are everywhere; pay attention as they pay off big time.

Think about making a step to the right or left, saying hello to a stranger or participating with people you typically don’t associate with. Find a way to mix it up and take a little chance by making a new choice. You will feel better about yourself and your day. Think about what you can do differently today, if not in your life maybe in someone else’s. You will gain satisfaction for yourself by doing for others. Watch how others will start doing little things for you that will mean a lot. You will find yourself winking and nodding at others.

Listen to your inner self. It’s more than time that you begin believing in yourself and what you can accomplish. Work or school can become overwhelming at times, but don’t allow challenges to take you over or consume you. Keep things in their rightful place. Make time for fun and enjoy life more with those special people in your life. The key here is balance.

With balance you will be able to have—and savor—it all.

Be on the lookout for a wink or a nod, because if you’re not paying attention, you just might miss it.

October

November

December

Born with the gift to entertain, you are a wonderful host. Make the most of it by planning a party. Whether it is a formal dinner or a casual get together, your special event will be the talk of the town for quite some time. Your creative side is always devising something new and wonderful, so give it free expression. Be sure to graciously accept the recognition you deserve for the work that you do so well. Your desire for love will bring it right to you. There are so many winks you might not know which ones to choose first!

Your biggest successes come from your relationships with family and friends, but business success is a close second. You just need to keep finding new challenges in your career to keep your interest level and productivity high. Put a penny in your shoe for good luck, and watch the winks and nods come your way for a welcome change. Whether it comes from friends or a new love interest, you will feel a refreshing new beginning. You may have to make a move out of your comfort zone.

You are interested in almost everything life has to offer. Relationships do tend to put you through hoops, but somehow you end up where you want to be. Be careful not to be overburdened with too much at one time, as you don’t want to explode. Save house cleaning for tomorrow, as everything doesn’t have to be done in one day. Pace yourself so you don’t miss the winks and nods that are heading your way.

Someone out there is trying to help you. Accept the helping hand!

Last Laugh

Connecting… for Real

“B

randon, stop saying that to her. Carlye, put down the knife.”

The holidays must be near, as evidenced by the brief bouts of resentment and tension that can only be found in the most loving of homes. Does anyone know why it happens every year? We go through life for the most part loving each other. Then all of a sudden they are selling Santa hats at CVS and everyone becomes slightly more pissed off. Even more so than their usual levels of impatience and general hostility for well, everything.

Oddly, though, I think this year is going to be different. Why, you ask? Well, because my resolution last year was to get along better with my family this year! Or at least as I’m writing this, that sounds like it would’ve been a good one.

The holidays are supposed to be a time when we are reminded why the world is great, why we are thankful for living on it, and why ugly sweater manufacturers are still in business. They should not be a time for general contempt for the ones you’d tell others you love the most.

We often lose sight of this. As an old man trapped in a young man’s body, I blame technology. We are too invested in what everyone else is doing. That might have always been the case, but before, we couldn’t see what everyone else was doing, and that kept life golden.

On Instagram the other day I saw “friends” posting from a Knicks game. The Knicks? I love ’em. I’d go to their games anytime. But the people whose post I was looking at had courtside seats.

“How’d he get those? He can’t afford ’em! Does he even have a job? Who is he sleeping with?” Despite how terrible a person I may have come off as just

190

November/December 2014

now, I was really thinking those things—and I know I wasn’t alone. It sort of felt like, if I work hard and then go to a Knicks game and don’t sit at those courtside seats, I’m an embarrassment. Even worse: how can I show my Instagram followers that I was sitting in the 200 section? What a loser.

The point here is, I used to go to Knicks games and love them and not care where I sat.

I didn’t take a picture. Or maybe I did, and then it got developed a month and a half later and then who knows what would happen to it. I literally posted it to my wall—with tacks— and only a very select few ever got to see it.

Life was good.

I used to laugh at the people who would go on “tech retreats,” literally go away, and not turn on a phone or check an email or read a text. I didn’t think I was that consumed by

technology. Now I am certain I am. I typed this on a typewriter to prove my point, but my editor yelled at me—via email.

So, maybe this holiday season, while we are with the people we choose to be with, we should just focus on them. Turn off the phone for just a few hours, listen to their stories and actually pay attention to them. Learn what they are frustrated about, and maybe you can offer a way to fix it. Even if not, it will be a much more complete moment in your life than looking to see what your friend’s friend is wearing today, or who took a picture with Kanye West.

Life is great, and we have it much better than most people in the world. Let’s just enjoy it, even if that means we have to stop caring about dumb stuff.

In America, no dishwasher is quieter than a Miele

Our Quiet and Clean Guarantee means we’re confident that not only will it be the quietest dishwasher you’ve ever owned, but it will also give you the best cleaning results. While some brands claim they’re the quietest, their sound levels doubled when testing was done with dirty dishes.

Only Miele’s sound levels remained unchanged whether running a clean or dirty load of dishes. That’s indisputable proof we call SoundTruth™.
