about an authentic tearoom on Long Island. Teapot
in Bellmore is just such a place: a Victorian-inspired
tearoom that serves a proper Afternoon Tea, with an
assortment of delectable sandwiches and
pastries, scones, and
more than 30 types of
teas—black, Oolong,
Rooibos, white, green
and herbal—all served
on fine china, including beautiful teapots and floral tiered stands. Teapot
is the perfect spot for showers and other events.
Imagine holding your next book club meeting there!
Teapot is located at 2922 Merrick Road in Bellmore.

MORE TEA
And here’s another great site for tea lovers: theteaplant.com. The Tea Plant is a small online tea boutique founded by Huntington resident Nicole Basso.
For Nicole, a serious tea drinking hobby turned into
much more after a trip to India in 2009. Inspired
by the beauty of the landscape and the tea culture
there, Nicole decided to open an online tea shop so
she could bring together a community of tea lovers.
The Tea Plant’s selection includes a variety of organic, fair trade and kosher teas, as well as a unique
assortment of teaware.

DOWNING TOO MANY SUGARY DRINKS CAN RAISE
WOMEN’S RISK FOR GOUT
Women who consume fructose-rich beverages, such as sugar-sweetened soft drinks and orange juice, are at an increased risk for gout,
according to research presented recently at the American College of
Rheumatology (ACR) Annual Scientific Meeting in Atlanta.
Gout is a painful and potentially disabling form of arthritis. Initial symptoms usually consist of intense episodes of painful swelling in single joints, most often in the feet (especially the big toe).
Gout occurs when excess uric acid, a normal waste product, accumulates in the body, and needle like crystals deposit in the joints.
This may happen because either uric-acid production increases or,
more often, the kidneys are unable to remove uric acid from the
body adequately.
Which leads us back to that soda on your
desk… Fructose-rich, sugar-sweetened
beverages may increase serum uric acid
and the risk for gout. Researchers have
recently noted that the prevalence and incidence of gout has been in the rise in the
U.S. over the past few decades and this
has coincided with a substantial increase
in soft drink and fructose consumption.
So they examined, over a 22-year period, the relationship between the intake
of these beverages and the risk of gout
in 78,906 women who were participants
in the Nurses’ Health Study. They used a
questionnaire to determine if participants
met any of the ACR’s criteria for gout and
estimated each participant’s future risk
for gout after considering things such
as age, total caloric intake, alcohol consumption, body mass index, menopause
status, the use of hormonal replacement,

confirmed cases of gout. They also noted that increasing the intake
of fructose-rich drinks was independently associated with increasing
a woman’s risk of gout.
When the participants in the study who consumed one serving of
sugar-sweetened soft drinks a day were compared with those who
had less than one serving per month, they were found to have a
1.7-fold increased risk of gout. Those who consumed two or more

servings per day were at a 2.4-fold increased risk. (When looking at
diet soft drinks, researchers found no association with an increased
risk of gout.)
Researchers also made these comparisons for those who drink orange juice, a common source for naturally-occurring fructose. Participants who consumed one serving of orange juice a day were at a
1.4-fold increased risk of gout and those who consumed two or more
servings per day were at a 2.4-fold increased risk.
“From a public-health viewpoint, we are particularly concerned
about sugar-sweetened sodas, whose consumption has grown so
much over the past few decades. It is possible that this increased
consumption has contributed in part to the doubling frequency of
gout in our society during the same period,” says Hyon Choi, M.D., a
rheumatologist at the University of British Columbia and lead investigator for the study.
WANT LOWER BODY FAT? EAT MORE WHOLE GRAINS,
CUT BACK ON REFINED GRAINS
People who consume several servings of whole grains per day, while
limiting daily intake of refined grains, appear to have less of a type
of fat tissue thought to play a key role in triggering cardiovascular
disease and type 2 diabetes, a new study suggests. Researchers at
the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Researcher Center on Aging
(USDA HNRCA) at Tufts University observed lower volumes of visceral
adipose tissue (VAT) in people who chose to eat mostly whole grains
instead of refined grains.
The researchers examined diet questionnaires submitted by 2,834
men and women enrolled in The Framingham Heart Offspring and
Third Generation studies. The participants then underwent scans to
determine fat in their tissues.
“VAT volume was approximately 10 percent lower in adults who
reported eating three or more daily servings of whole grains and
who limited their intake of refined grains to less than one serving
per day,” says study author Nicola McKeown, Ph.D., a scientist
with the Nutritional Epidemiology Program at the USDA HNRCA.
“For example, a slice of 100-percent whole wheat bread or a half
cup of oatmeal constituted one serving of whole grains and a slice
of white bread or a half cup of white rice represented a serving
of refined grains.”

chronic condition, such as a lung-function test for those with asthma.
You also may be tested to diagnose or confirm the presence of a disease, or to see how well a particular treatment or medication is working.
But if the wrong test is given, or if you fail to receive or understand
your results, your health may suffer. In a recent study of medical- testing errors, researchers found that nearly three out of four patients
involved in a testing error had their treatment delayed, suffered additional pain or had a worse health outcome as a result of the error.
Every time your doctor orders a test for you, the results become part of your medical history and a potential guide or reference for your future care. But many patients walk away from
their doctor’s office with important, unanswered questions:
• What tests will I take?
• Why have these tests been ordered?
• What will the tests show?
• When should I expect to see the
results?
• What should I do after the test
results are in?
If you don’t understand the answers,
don’t be afraid to ask again, says Dennis Novak, M.D., a general internist
and associate dean of medical education at Drexel University College of
Medicine in Philadelphia. In the exam
room, you often get a lot of information that might be hard to remember
later. Feel free to ask your doctor for
written information about the test, or
to recommend a website for more information, Novak suggests.
There is one issue doctors rarely if
ever discuss: How much does the test
cost? Before you agree to a test, put
on your “health-consumer” hat. Does your insurance cover the test?
With or without insurance, what are your out-of-pocket costs?
Once you’ve taken the test, follow-up is essential. And it’s one place
where mistakes happen often. For instance, in a recent study of California primary-care doctors, about 20 percent of patients didn’t get
timely or appropriate notification of their abnormal test results.
The lesson? Never accept that “no news is good news,” says Davis
Liu, M.D., a family physician in Sacramento, California. “Always request to see your test results, good or bad.” You also should be sure
you know how you will be notified about the results, how long you
should wait for the results and who you should call to follow up after
receiving the results. ●

Much in the way you can’t go three blocks without passing a Starbucks, try flipping cable
channels without seeing a sitcom featuring Wendie Malick, the tall, striking actress who, along
with Christine Baranski, has become television’s go-to girl for regal and sarcastic working
women with just a hint of craziness. Her ubiquity on the dial actually belies the fact that she
hasn’t been in a hit sitcom since Just Shoot Me stopped shooting in 2003.
The relative dry spell (she’s done dozens of television episodes and guest shots in the intervening time) ended last year, however, with the arrival of the TV Land series, Hot in Cleveland.
The sitcom, featuring Frasier alum Jane Leeves, One Day at a Time’s Valerie Bertinelli and living
goddess Betty White is now entering its third season with no cooldown in sight. For Malick,
Cleveland might as well be paradise.
“I’m very, very lucky,” she says in our early spring phone chat as she drives to rehearsal. “Just
to be able to work at the thing you love is a gift in itself, and to actually get to work with great
writers who do wonderful things for you. Remember that my career took off late; I’m sort of
a late bloomer. I had done theater in New York and then took five years off to model. Then my
career very slowly started to build, but it was incremental. I was almost 40 years old when I did
Dream On, the HBO series. I was not a great ingénue; I didn’t quite know what to do with that.
So I didn’t really hit my mark until I became a character actress, and that was my strength.
Once I had a chance to have a strong point of view, it changed everything.”
Still, the revelation was as much about doing comedy as it was about moving into
more mature roles. “I think [comedy] was in my bones,” notes Malick, “but I never really worked
as a comedienne until I did Dream On. Before that, I had been kind of typecast because I was
tall and brunette and, I guess, somewhat imposing, so I was often the lawyer/doctor/ex-wife/
murderess – things like that. I did a lot of drama, and on Dream On, I started as the straight
woman for Brian Benben, but during the first season, they found out I was funny, so they allowed my character to become a lot more neurotic.
“I love doing comedy,” continues Malick, “and it’s something you can never take for granted
because comedy is not easy! I think right now, more than ever, everyone needs to laugh every
day because the world is getting increasingly bizarre.”
Speaking of bizarre, our phone chat is briefly interrupted as Malick runs her vehicle through
a car wash. “I have an event to go to tonight,” the actress apologizes. “And after so much rain
the past few weeks, the car is covered in mud. You probably never interviewed anybody going
through a car wash before, have you?”
After replying that I hadn’t and overhearing her thank the attendants, I asked Malick whether
being famous is a burden when you’re simply trying to get your daily chores done. Malick laughed,
“I still consider myself a mid-level celebrity. And I can move through my world pretty easily without being recognized – unless I open my mouth, and then people recognize my voice. But I would
have to say that 95 percent of the people who come up to me are lovely and just want to thank
me for making them laugh before they go to sleep at night. Or they’ve been touched by something. Or for the work I do for the Humane Society.”
Thanks to Malick’s husband, Richard Erickson, that animal advocacy organization is only one of the many charities to which the actress lends her time and money. Perhaps
the most personal involves assisting villages in Africa. “My
husband’s parents were missionaries in Congo,” Malick explains, “so he spent about seven years there as a child. And
he loved the people and has stayed in touch with a lot of
them. We have one good friend whom we still see every year;
(Richard’s) father helped him get an education, and he’s now
an eye surgeon.
“So my husband is a great influence on me in that area,”
continues Malick. “He has built a medical center in Congo and
has gone back every two years to see what else they needed.
My first summer with him, we took motorcycles over to the
infirmies (for the nurses in this small Eastern Congo village). So
I’ve been involved with him there as well as starting some micro-lending to the women in that village. Very small loans. The
idea is that they can start a small business that might be going
into a bigger town and bringing back things they can trade or
sell. And then they pay back what you loaned them, and it goes
on to the next woman. It’s the idea of `paying it forward.’”
Malick had been married previously to screenwriter Mitch
Glazer, a union that lasted seven years. “We were young and
just grew in different ways, but he was a great guy, very talented,” says the actress, who
divorced Glazer in 1989 and married Erickson in 1995. “I met Richard when we were building
houses in Tijuana,” Malick recalls. “I met a number of my dearest friends to this day on that
trip. I think oftentimes you meet the most interesting people when you’re out there giving of
yourself.”
Asked for reasons her second marriage has run 15 years and counting, Malick laughs, “Oh
man, I don’t know the answer to that, but I think kindness is at the core. Kindness and humor.
You can’t take stuff back, so be mindful of that when you’re pissed off. Take a deep breath before you say anything because you could really wound those closest to you. Also, don’t sweat
the small stuff, and, as my grandmother said, `Never go to bed angry.’”
Regarding the delicate question of children, Malick replies, “It just didn’t work out for me.
I wasn’t able to, and maybe that’s why the animals in my life are so important. As a child,
my older `sister’ was a collie. Plus, I used to rescue seagulls from the beach in front of our
summer house and take them to the neighboring doctor. Now, Richard and I have three
horses, donkeys, and two dogs that we rescued. But we also helped to raise my niece.

She’s my brother’s daughter who lives with us part time and goes to school in our little town.
So there are always children in our lives, and we have wonderful godchildren. I think that
whether you’re an actual parent or not, the option for helping to raise children is always there.
Of course, my hat is off to every mother out there who ever raised a child. I am absolutely
stunned by the amount of patience, and love and generosity it requires. It’s really extraordinary, and it’s been a great, great lesson to me in trying to be a more patient human being.”
That patience is coming handy now that Malick has taken on a new role in Hollywood:
producer. “I’m involved in producing my first movie,” she explains, “and it’s a very interesting
new hat for me to wear. A friend brought me an amazing book, Mustang: The Saga of the
Wild Horse in the American West. As a big animal advocate, I’m very concerned about our
last remaining wild horses being rounded up. We’re soon going to lose them. This story is
about a woman who started the fight to save them.” Malick hopes to shoot the film during
her summer hiatus from Cleveland. “I’ll produce, executive produce and star as Wild Horse
Annie,” adds the actress/producer. “We have a budget, but we’re probably gonna need some
more money, so that’s part of (my job), too. But we hired a screenwriter who’s supposed to
be handing (the script) in this week. Then we have to cast it and find the director, so we have
our work cut out for us!”
When I ask how Malick made the jump from performer to producer without the usual actors’
siren call of “wanting to direct,” she notes, “I have directed some plays and staged readings.
And it was really fun; I didn’t know I would like it so much. So that still is a possibility. But I
can’t imagine wearing two hats, at least not initially.”
Certainly acting has been a constant in Malick’s life since her high school years in Buffalo,
New York. In fact, her first professional summer
gig was at Bellport’s 70-year-old Gateway Playhouse where she played Hope Harcourt in Anything Goes. “I think it was 1973 maybe?” mulls
Malick. “I’m 60 now, so it was when I was 22. It
was after college and after doing my internship
in Washington, D.C.”
Continues Malick, “I had always wanted to
act. I minored in theater in college (Ohio Wesleyan University), so I knew that was where I
was going. It was either that or being a veterinarian. But I sucked at science, so that decision
was made for me. I also took a year off to work
for Jack Kemp; he had been our congressman
and asked me if I wanted to come try it after
college, which I did.” To this day, Malick remains
politically active and lobbies often for federal funding of arts and education. “It’s how I got
my start in high school, through a great music program,” she notes. “And I lobby on behalf of
animals and animal welfare, as well as being very pro-choice, so I have been a spokesperson
for Planned Parenthood, as well.”
Still, for all the causes and contributions, Malick could never stay away from the spotlight
for long. After her D.C. days, she returned to New York “and worked in theater - where you
make $75 a week,” she recalls. “Someone approached me and said, `Would you be interested in
modeling? Would you come and meet Wilhelmina?’ I did, and I ended up for the next five years
working between New York and Paris and Milan, seeing the world and having a great ol’ time.
But I knew it was only a finite departure and that I would come back to acting.”
And waiting tables. “I was trying to be a working actor,” notes Malick, “but I had to supplement my income with waitressing. Then I got my first full-time job, on the soap opera, Love of
Life.” Fans of Hot in Cleveland can appreciate the connection, since on that show, Malick plays
an Emmy-winning former soap star. “I actually went back and did a day on All My Children,
recalls the actress. “Susan Lucci was a guest on our show, so I went back and did a day as
Victoria Chase, my character, on hers. It’s mindboggling to think about it. I think they shot over
100 takes in one day. It’s like a factory where they go, `boom boom boom’ – so much work.
They cover so much ground in so much exposition every day.
“On our show,” continues Malick. “we have five days to put on a little play in front of an
audience. So we really get to hone our craft. It’s great fun, and I love it.” ●

ON HEALTH
I’m very blessed. My dad is 92 years old and going strong. And my
mom is in good shape. She walks her dog twice a day, every single
day. And she lives in Buffalo, NY. (laughing) It keeps you honest.
ON DIET
I’m a pescatarian, so I eat fish, but otherwise I just eat vegetables,
fruits and raw nuts. I gave up the whites: white flour, white sugar. I
do drink wine and an occasional martini, so instead of dessert, that’s
my vice.
ON EXCERCISE
I exercise almost every day and feel so much better when I do. I
do Pilates and I ski. I love to feel in touch with my body because
the older we get, the more you really have to not let it slip. It’s much
harder to get it back. We’ve got dogs and horses, so I have critters I have to get out anyway. Having animals is a great enforcer of
exercise!

It’s September and eight year old Annisa is back
in school, just like thousands of kids on Long Island. This year Annisa is in second grade - again.
Annisa is a Fresh Air Fund kid from a low income
apartment in Staten Island that she shares with her
mother and three sisters. Last summer, Annisa was
only seven years old when her mother put her on
a bus so she could travel a few hours and spend a
week with total strangers.
Elle and Jack are from Long Island, but for the
time being Jack’s job has taken them to a pretty
nice home in Massachusetts. It’s more expensive than the Long Island houses
either of them grew up in, although they’ll tell you their childhood homes were
rich in love. Knowing how fortunate they were then and are now, Elle and Jack
wanted to give back somehow, but they thought writing a check was too easy.
They wanted to do something “hands on.” They loved parenting their 3 kids
who are now college age, so it just seemed right to love another child.
Jack went to work that first day. Elle and Annisa went to Build a Bear. That
night Annisa was glued to Elle’s side. She wouldn’t talk to Jack. But her new bear
Sylvia would. And Sylvia the Bear told Jack, “Sylvia doesn’t like you. She thinks
you’re going to get drunk tonight and then get angry.” Jack gently told her, “We
don’t drink here. We don’t even have alcohol in
this house. And I don’t get angry like that.”
Over the next few days Annisa witnessed gentle
love. She saw how Jack treated his wife, and even
their little dog. She saw how proud Jack was of
the letter her mother had instructed her to write
to her father during the week’s vacation. Annisa
had brought a stamped envelope for the letter, addressed to the prison where her father was. And
she felt how gently Jack held her little seven year
old hand when she finally agreed to take walks
along the shore of a Massachussets lake.
After she left, Annisa, Elle and Jack talked
during the year. They sent presents for Christmas, Valentines Day and Easter.
And she came back this summer. There’s no mention of Annisa’s Dad these days,
and Elle didn’t want to ask. Annisa’s mom did ask for a favor - to help get her
now eight-year old on a normal sleep schedule. Annisa’s single mom works a lot
of hours, and sometimes lets her girls stay up all night watching DVDs so when
she’s home in the day they can all sleep a few hours.
This summer Elle got some books for Annisa, and a little journal with a lock she
wanted. Elle is a Special Education teacher and hopes her experience can help.
Annisa can’t read, so she has to repeat second grade. In fact, this winter they’ll
be writing letters. Maybe that will help too.
And that should help them plan for next summer. Annisa plans to come back
next year. She told me, “It’s because Elle and Jack are fun.” And Elle and Jack will
be there waiting for her. Elle says, “We were really trying to do something more
than just dropping a check in the mail – and giving back to one child has made
a world of difference.” To everyone, I’m sure. ●

Survival Studies
Independent Bookstores Get Creative
Given the dramatic rise of e-book sales over the past couple of years,
the recent news about the downfall of bookselling giant Borders Books
may not have surprised anyone. It certainly hasn’t surprised the thousands of independent booksellers in the U.S.. They’ve been practicing
survival strategies for years. The American Booksellers Association, which
began in 1900 (and welcomed Mark Twain as the keynote speaker at
its 1902 convention), is the main organization supporting independent
booksellers, or “indies,” as they are called. Since its founding, the ABA
has provided support, advice and a sense of community to independent
bookstores throughout the country, but with recent developments in ebook technology, the ABA has had to innovate on a scale seldom seen
in its history. In 2008, the organization created IndieBound, a “unique,
community-oriented movement that celebrates independent bookstores
and promotes shopping locally,” according to IndieBound.com. The site
(indiebound.com) allows readers to connect with their favorite indie
bookstores—and with other like-minded readers.
Owners of independent bookstores throughout the country have been
doing a lot of soul-searching, reconciling new business models with the
desire to remain true to their missions. They are
also trying to be as creative as possible in contriving new and exciting methods to draw customers back to brick and mortar bookstores by
offering opportunities to learn, socialize, and stay
connected to their communities. Perhaps it’s an
amazing new “print-on-demand” machine that
can print a book in about five minutes. Maybe
it’s adding a wine bar, offering knitting or writing classes, holding raffle drawings or photo con-

tests, or hosting children’s book fairs.
The owners of two of Long Island’s most beloved independent bookstores—The Dolphin Bookshop in Port Washington and Book Revue in
Huntington—are well aware of the challenges, and both have adapted
in order to thrive in these difficult times.
Patti Vunk owns The Dolphin Bookshop, a staple of the community
with a very loyal following. The store opened on Main Street in 1946
and Patti’s family bought it in 1971. Patti and her sister grew up working
in the bookstore. “It was trial by fire,” says Patti, but the family worked
together and learned together and made a go of the business. “I was
shy,” reveals Patti, so she stayed behind the scenes and developed a keen
sense of merchandising and display. Her talent is evident as soon as you
enter the store, which has always been fun and inviting and so much
more than a bookstore. Patti believes that her store is well-suited to respond to challenging times. “While many independent bookstores are
now scrambling to sell merchandise other than books, the Dolphin has
always sold these items: puzzles, games, plush toys, greeting cards, gift
baskets, and much more.”
Patti has always wanted to open a café, and now, with a new location,
that dream is becoming a reality. But Patti’s vision for the café space is
more than just a place to drink a latte. “I envision the store becoming an
arts center, one that hosts book discussions, poetry readings, and other
arts-related events.”
“Independent stores are important to local downtowns,” says Patti.
“Unlike the chain stores, the money spent here goes right back into the
community.”
Robert Klein, co-owner (with his brother Richard) of Book Revue in
Huntington, is upbeat about the current state of indie bookstores. “Our
customers know us and support us.” During a recent dispute with
their landlord, thousands of customers offered their support. The
store opened in 1977 and has expanded five times, including adding a café in the early 1990s. Perhaps best known for its high-profile
events, the store is also a haven for readers searching for deeply
discounted remainders and rare and collectible books. Book Revue
is even getting in on the e-book trend, offering “BLIO” (a division of
mega-distributor Baker & Taylor) e-books on its website.
Authors enjoy their book events at independent bookstores. Long
Islander Saralee Rosenberg, author of Dear Neighbor, Drop Dead and
several other novels, is a big fan of indies. “Independent booksellers, such as Book Revue, have been instrumental in bringing readers
together with writers in a way that the chain stores can’t. It’s the indies that have always been willing to introduce the important books
that may not be bestseller-bound. They have always had the passion
to promote exciting, original books that don’t always get reviewed
by the New York Times but are worthy of attention. Mostly, they’ve

BONE DENSITY TESTING FOR MEN & WOMEN
The first step towards the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and osteopenia
After the age of 35, both men and women begin to lose bone mass unless they take action to prevent it. Early intervention can
prevent future problems since bone health is crucial to our overall health and well-being.
The absolute amount of bone as measured by bone mineral density (BMD) testing generally correlates with bone strength and its
ability to bear weight. By measuring BMD, it is possible to predict fracture risk in the same manner that measuring blood pressure
can help predict the risk of a stroke.
The World Health Organization has developed definitions for low bone mass (osteopenia) and osteoporosis. Determining a person’s
BMD helps our doctors decide if a person is at increased risk for osteoporosis-related fracture. Osteoporosis is not only treatable,
it is also preventable. By the time we begin to think about our bone health, we may already have suffered serious damage.
At Linchitz Medical Wellness, our mission is to help our patients achieve and maintain bone health by emphasizing natural
treatment and the prevention of illness. Strong and healthy bones are a cornerstone to successful aging.
