How long have you lived on Long Island?
I am a lifetime Long Islander. I was born in West Islip and raised
in Deer Park. I graduated from Deer Park High School, received an
Associates Degree in business from SUNY Farmingdale, and then
attended C.W. Post for finance. I later moved to Huntington
where I live with my husband of 24 years.
Tell me about your work with Dri Mark.
DriMark Products, Inc. manufactures writing instruments,

Mark began in 1982. I now serve as President and Chief Financial

committed to Dri Mark’s success. As President, my main focus is
providing leadership and direction for the achievement of the
company’s mission, strategic plan, and annual goals while maintaining the vision and core values as set by our executive team.
As Chief Financial Officer, I am charged with providing support

in a Relay for Life event to benefit the American Cancer Society.
I enjoy boating with my family and quiet time with a good book,
and I love to travel.
I understand you’re a big fan of networking.
My advice for women is: don’t underestimate the power of
networking. Seek out opportunities to speak to others with
shared interests. Expand your horizons. Share your experiences
and be open to learning from the experiences of others. There is
so much valuable insight to be gained.

Sleep Cycle
Are You Going Around in Circles?
Living in a 24/7 culture makes life so much easier, except if you are trying to get a good night’s sleep. Catching up on sleep over the weekend
or using excuses like “I can sleep when it’s done,” are common but
research is discovering this lifestyle has detrimental social and health side
effects. For many women, menopause and stress can be primary reasons
for sleep apnea, snoring and disturbed sleep patterns.
Over 40 million Americans suffer from some sort of sleep disorders,
according to the North Shore – Long Island Jewish Health System
Disorders Center. The negative consequences of consistent sleep loss
spill into every aspect of one’s life. Poor work performance, driving accidents, relationship issues, and mood problems such as anger and
depression can all be linked to sleep loss brought about by disordered
sleep patterns. Heart disease, diabetes and obesity can also be linked to
and aggravated by poor sleeping habits.
“We are just beginning to understand the many restorative functions
of sleep. Sleep is essential to maintain optimal performance at daily
tasks. Insufficient sleep,

even one or two hours
less than the body
requires each day, has a cumulative negative impact on daytime performance and function.
According to Harly Greenberg, MD, FASM, FCCP at Medical Director, NSLIJ
Sleep Disorders Center. “Sleep is also essential for learning. Recent studies
have shown that learning and memory is consolidated during sleep.”
Menopause and Sleep
Sleepless nights are common as menopause sets in. Hot flashes and
sweating brought on by the body’s decrease in estrogen and progesterone, can make sleeping through the night a challenge. 61% of
menopausal women have sleep issues, according to the National Sleep
Foundation. In addition to hot flashes and sweating, general aches and
pain brought on by menopause is often a factor in sleeplessness and
should be taken into account, when considering treatment options.
“One reason that sleep disorders are under diagnosed is that while
many of us have sleep complaints, we do not often relay them during
doctor visits,” describes Dr. Greenberg. “In addition, there is still a tendency to belittle the importance of sleep disorders, even though they
have been shown to have a major impact on quality of life, daytime performance, mood, health and even mortality.”
Traditional treatments for menopause related symptoms, such as hot
flashes and insomnia are hormone replacement therapy based, commonly known as HRT. A consultation with your doctor is the best way to
decipher which method of HRT; a pill, patch or vaginal cream, is right for
the existing symptoms.
Alternative treatment methods, such as changes in diet, have been
shown to slow down the frequency or reduce the severity of hot flashes
and sweating. Incorporating soy based foods, like tofu and soy beans and
milk, which contain the plant hormone phytoestrogen, have been shown
to decrease the rate of hot flashes. Black cohosh, a perennial plant, has
also been used as an alternative to HRT to diminish hot flashes.
Wearing loose clothing, made of natural fibers like cotton and keeping the
bedroom cool and well ventilated is
another way to ease menopausal hot
flashes.
Snoring. It is such a common occurrence; some couples even revert to
sleeping in separate bedrooms
because of it. Persistent snoring that
is loud enough to wake another individual is one sign that the snorer has
sleep apnea, which affects more
than 18 million adults, according to
the Sleep Disorders Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in
Boston.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition where the upper airway
passages are closed off and cause an interruption in breathing, thereby
causing the sleeper to awaken. Deafening snoring is a symptom, as well
as waking up with extreme dry mouth due to breathing through the
mouth.
“This sleep disorder destroys the restorative nature of sleep, leaving
sufferers tired and unable to concentrate,” explains Dr. Greenberg.
“Sleep apnea has also been shown to increase the risk of heart attacks,
strokes and even the risk for diabetes.”
A dental device can be constructed by a dentist, who specializes in
treating sleep apnea, to help keep the upper airway passages open during sleep. Another form of treatment is to wear a continuous positive
airway pressure mask (CPAP) that is attached to a device that provides a

Once it is time to go to bed, many find their minds are still reeling from the
events of the day or significant issues that are occurring in their life at the
moment. These worries create stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol,
which have the potential to prevent sleep from setting in.
Most individuals need between seven and eight hours of sleep each night
to feel refreshed and function at their best. 20% of Americans, however,
report they get less than 6 hours of sleep per night on average, according
to the National Sleep Foundation.
Work to put stress in its place, namely out of the bedroom. Make this room
a career free zone by leaving the laptop in another room and turning off the
cell phone and blackberry. Work documents should also be read elsewhere, to
ensure a stress free envirnonment. The boudoir and most importantly, the bed,
is a place to sleep. Reading, eating, watching television and talking about
emotional issues, can also causes these life stressors to enter into an atmosphere that is supposed to be about tranquility and rest.
Dr. Joyce Walsleben, PhD, RN, an Associate Professor of Medicine at NYU
School of Medicine, recommends individuals follow good “sleep hygiene.”
“Relax and sleep in a dark, quiet place at regular times.” ◆
Tips for Sound Sleep
• The afternoon, pick-me-up, cup of java, can be a reason for sleepless
nights. The effects of caffeine, namely its ability to keep one awake, can
remain in the system for over eight hours. Avoid all caffeine consumption at
least four to six hours before bedtime .
• It is true that alcohol can initially help in falling asleep, but it can also
cause disturbances in the sleep cycle, causing a less restful sleep. Refrain
from consuming alcohol, to achieve a sound night’s sleep.
• Create a routine before bed, to help the body and mind disassociate from
the day and signal that bedtime is near. This practice can be 10 minutes or
an hour before a desired sleep time. Whether this practice is a hot bath or
light reading, anything that helps still the mind and relax the body will ease
the way to a restful night’s slumber.
•Exercising regularly can relieve insomnia, if done in the morning. This is
especially true if exercise energizes you. Exercise done later in the day or
evening can hinder one’s ability to relax and settle into sleep due to the
endorphins that pump through the body after a workout.
• Avoid going to bed after a heavy meal. While one should not be hungry
before bed, going into a “food coma” can prevent receiving consistent sleep.
When possible, drinking fluids after 8pm also hinders sleeping through the
night, as frequent trips to the bathroom often follow.
• A cigarette before bed may feel relaxing, but cigarettes release nicotine,
which is a stimulant, into the bloodstream. Similar to caffeine, nicotine has
the ability to prevent falling asleep and staying asleep.
• Keep a regular bedtime, as well as wake time.
•Avoid napping.

LONG ISLAND WOMAN • May 2011 • 15
Shirley MacLaine
"Over" But Not Out
by David Lefkowitz
“I have an investigative nature, and I’ve been so
privileged to travel. I’ve met an awful lot of
incredible people, and I’ve really had an extraordinary life.”
Any reasonably lucky and active person should
be able to say something similar, but when actress
and author Shirley MacLaine makes a statement
like that, well, the words “incredible” and
“extraordinary” almost seems inadequate. This is a
woman who lived briefly with a southern black
family during the Civil Rights era, got smuggled
into Leningrad in 1962, watched boxers fight to
the death in Thailand, and made a pilgrimage
across Spain. This is also a woman who palled
around with some of the most famous actors and
directors in Hollywood and had relationships with
such notables as Danny Kaye, Robert Mitchum,
Yves Montand, Andre Konchalovsky and the foreign minister of Australia. Oh yes, and she’s also
the “kook” who has long believed in reincarnation,
numerology, astrology, chakras and spiritual
energy aligned with a Godforce.
“I think mathematics is the universe,” MacLaine noted in our late winter conversation. “I would not live my life by the numerological signs, but I think it’s an
ancient art and important to include.” The Oscar-winning actress then explained
how math is both poetic and perfect – even as it allows for imperfection and flexibility in such cases as pi, the never-ending number. Since our 40-minute chat
would be woefully inadequate to even scrape the surface of MacLaine’s mystical
beliefs, she puts a simple button on the topic by adding, “I think there are realities beyond our imagination.”
That said, those interested in pursuing her long-advocated theories can find a
whole smorgasbord of New Age topics at her official and quite elaborate website,
shirleymaclaine.com, while the layman may prefer perusing her sprightly new volume, I’m Over
All That: And Other Confessions, published this
month by Atria Books. The author of The Camino,
Sage-ing While Age-ing and You Can Get There
from Here didn’t realize what her latest book
would be until she sat down with her editor who
asked, “What do you want to write about next?”
“He started suggesting things,” recalled
MacLaine, “and I just said, `No, I’m over all that.’
He suggested something else, and I said, `No, I’m
over all that.’ And he said, `Well, that’s a title; now
write the book.’ That’s actually how it happened.
“When you get to be a certain age,” continued
the actress, who turns 77 April 24th, “I feel very
much like going over things and discarding the
things that no longer attract my attention. I
thought they were important in the past; they’re
not anymore. Some of the things I completely
ignored I now look at. The other thing I’ve noticed
as I get older is that it really is true that almost
everything in life is show business. I don’t know if
I made that concept clear enough in the book. We have the theater of the Egyptian
Revolution; we’ve always had the theater of war, the theater of politics, the theater of everything. And we are, in my opinion, writing our own script every single
day. So maybe I’m in the right business after all: show business. But then it dovetails into life.”
In her book, MacLaine needles Hollywood types who live in a bubble and believe
their own p.r. She quotes an oft-told L.A. adage: “Never marry an actress – she is
too much more than a woman. Never marry an actor – he is so much less than a
man.” But in our talk, the author is just as quick to defend her colleagues. “The idea
of show business being life, is not bullshit. We all live in the illusion of what we cre-
Asked if her very active love and sex life of the 1960s was a rebellion against her
conservative upbringing, MacLaine retorts, “Why do you say the 60s? It was the
60s, the 70s, the 80s, and the 90s!
ate; Hollywood people are just a bit more
sophisticated about what illusion is. And
about the fact that we are creating every
single thing every single day. We write our
own scripts, and wear our own wardrobe,
and finance and distribute our truth. That’s what we do in show business.”
It should be noted that for all MacLaine’s deep thinking about the universe and
the seeming resignation and crabbiness the title of her book might convey, she actually has a very playful nature and a motto of “rolling with it” that serves her well,
especially at this stage of her life. Erma Bombeck may have titled her famous book,
If Life is a Bowl of Cherries, What am I Doing in the Pits?, but MacLaine heads her website with the more optimistic: “Life is a bowl of cherries, never mind the pits.”
It is this attitude that allows her to ruminate philosophically on topics that
might lead others to knee-jerk rage and despair. For example, though she believes
strongly in karma, she dismisses any talk of heaven, hell, devils or cosmic revenge.
“When we talk about Al Qaeda, Hitler, Charles Manson, what we’re asking here,”
she said, “is the question, ìs there such a thing as evil?’ But one person’s evil is
another person’s liberation. I agree with Gandhi that the devils are the ones rattling around in our own hearts. But I like to go deeper and ask, `What is the learning experience from these people we consider evil?’ I’m intrigued by what Einstein
and astro-physicists are looking for – a unified field theory. Are we basically all
one? I do think we all go to the same place and that hell is just a conceit, a fearmongering punishment for those we don’t agree with.”
Since we detoured into the subject of terrorism, I asked MacLaine about a passage in I’m Over All That in which she admits that she’s weary of traveling, mainly because our concessions to national security have made airports such arduous,
dehumanizing places. “On the one hand, you say we need to guard against letting ourselves be treated like sheep,” I note, “but on the other hand, you yourself
are capitulating.” MacLaine acknowledges the paradox: “I travel when I have to,
but frankly, I’ve done so much of it. And it’s different now; traveling has lost its
majesty for me. Not just that whole theater of pain-in-the-assdom, but because
the world is overpopulated and too violent. What’s happening everywhere in the
world is a kind of consensus of authoritarian behavior to make people lose individual identity. And as [scientist] Paul R. Ehrlich used to say, it could be a result
of just having too many people.
“The one thing that will continue,” continues MacLaine, “is that more people
will be born than will die, unless we have some kind of Malthusian event where
millions of people do die. I hope not, but who knows? We need to have a balancing, that’s for sure.”
The lure of stability seems crucial to MacLaine, whose dog, Terry, now gets
much of the attention she once lavished on an array of lovers. “I don’t worry
about having a boyfriend,” she states. “I don’t want to settle. I’m totally fine without one person. I’d be shocked to the stars if I met my twin soul or someone I
thought was my soulmate at this age. But if I did, I would go with it.”
Asked if her very active love and sex life of the 1960s was a rebellion against her
conservative upbringing, MacLaine retorts, “Why do you say the 60s? It was the 60s,
the 70s, the 80s, and the 90s! But I wasn’t doing it because that was when everybody was doing it. I was doing it because I was attracted to whoever the man was.
I was a serial monogamist. I didn’t have affairs too often, but I did once or twice.
But I’ve learned that when you’ve got the sexual tension out of a relationship, or
when it tames down, you’re more honest about things. So I have relationships now
where sex is still nice, but it’s not as intense as it was when I was younger. That
makes it possible to establish more equal honesty in the relationship.”
Regarding her relationship with her daughter, Sachi, MacLaine says that, as it
has been for many years, the rapport is “more like friends than mother and
daughter. We go through our ups and downs, but it’s very nice. She would probably have a whole different opinion of it – like most daughters and children do
of their parents.”
Rolling with life is also helping the actress cope with the inevitable slowdowns
of age. “I am not afraid of getting older,” says MacLaine. “I am sometimes shocked
when I can’t walk up a very steep mountain like I used to. I also have short-term
memory problems that drive me crazy. But I try not to let it bother me. I try to live
in the present and have it be all right.” Asked if she misses being a dancer,
MacLaine laughs, “I’m so glad it’s over with! I couldn’t possibly get through a
[dance] class. Even a beginner’s class because those are usually harder than the
advanced, because you have to take the balance and the extension, and the pain
is slower. Still, I am basically a dancer; that is my psychology. If you’re in trouble,
and you’re in a fox hole, you want a dancer in there with you… It means I’m a
team player, and I never pull any diva trips.”
Which shouldn’t fool anyone into thinking the divine-guided Miss M. is a
pushover. She walked off Terms of Endearment mid-shoot when personality
clashes became unbearable, and, during filming of Steel Magnolias, she took
director Herbert Ross to task for his bullying of co-stars Dolly Parton and presuperstar Julia Roberts. “I called him on his cruelty,” MacLaine recalls, “and he
knew it was true. He also knew that I knew him because we’re fellow dancers.” So
why was he being a meanie? MacLaine thinks a moment and then laughs uproariously. “Because he was a choreographer!”
On the same subject, MacLaine notes that Bob Fosse was a taskmaster, too, but
not a vicious one. “He had an accurate compass on energy,” she recalls. “And I was
proud of Sweet Charity because I had an infected tooth on that whole picture and
did the whole film basically with 106 fever.” The actress has fond memories, too,
of Vincente Minnelli, who directed her in Some Came Running. “Minnelli used to
direct the furniture – and the curtains and the interior decoration. He didn’t direct
people, but that was his genius. He would cast perfectly and then let us do what
we do best.”
Alfred Hitchcock, also, was mostly hands off when it came to guiding performances. “Hitch used to say, `The only thing that’s important is the script and the
first preview. Nothing else matters,” recalls MacLaine. “But to tell you the truth,
working with Hitch was an eating experience. He would lose a lot of weight
before a movie, and then, on a movie – because the studio was paying for it – he
would gain the weight back. Now, on The Trouble with Harry, I had just come off
being a chorus girl in Pajama Game and was nice and thin and lithe. But two or
three weeks into the picture, the president of the studio called me and said, `What
do you think you’re doing? You’ve gained ten pounds, and the cutaways in the
scenes don’t make any sense!’ I told him, `Well, Hitch wants me to eat with

breakfast – and I don’t cook! Then (here’s where my family really starts having fun) it’s off to some garden center where we buy the spring flowers that
color our world until fall. As if that wasn’t enough, we come home and
plant them, before piling back into the car and heading to one of my
favorite Long Island restaurants - Peters

On the way to Peters we drive past the
old Long Beach house –the stain-glassed, tutor palace on Lincoln Boulevard
and Park Avenue. It was perfect for three 23 year old roommates. However,
it wasn’t what my mother wanted. I remember the day I told Mom I was
moving to paradise by the ocean. She sat on the end of my bed and wondered why I’d leave paradise in Hicksville - unless I was getting married. She
was old school. Beautifully traditional. She’d stayed home until she’d gotten married. What was I thinking? Well – fun! And I found it.
But you know what they say about paybacks. My daughter called me this
week from college in Maryland. It’s where she’ll student-teach in 3 years.
We talked about next fall’s courses, hoping she’ll improve her chance of
finding a Long Island teaching job in 2014. (Yes, despite all the layoffs, she’s
going for it, because she’s the kind of person we should have teaching our
kids.) It was the first time she admitted, “Mom, a lot of people get jobs
down here after student teaching. So I may have to, while I’m also looking
for a job on Long Island.” Suddenly I thought of my Mom sitting on the foot
of my bed that day, and for Mothers Day, I just wanted to apologize. ◆

himthree times a day – and I love it!’”
The image of MacLaine eating and
gabbing with gusto jibes with her
current lifestyle, where having a meal
with friends and more platonic relationships with men proves more satisfying than the hurly-burly of her
previous decades or the siren call of
cyberspace. “Frankly, I don’t think I
will ever do email,” MacLaine says. “If
that puts me out of touch with the
entire population, I don’t care. I do
use my cell phone all day; I’d be lost without it. But that keeps me in contact with
the other person’s emotions, their mood, their space between words.”
Also fulfilling her need for contact is live performance, so MacLaine tours with
her one-person, autobiographical show. “I put together a whole composite of film
clips, television, singing and dancing, wall-of-life pictures. I use a remote-control
device to stop [the clips] and then tell stories about my life. People enjoy it and can
ask any kind of question they want from the audience. In fact, recently one woman
stood up and said, `Did you know that your father proposed to my mother?’ She
told me the name, and it was true! I asked, `Did they sleep together?’ And she said,
`No, according to my mother, they didn’t. Your father was very conservative, and
my mother was, too.” And then my dad went on to marry someone else. But it
came out of the blue; it was so adorable. She asked me some more questions until
I said, `Let me tell you: I had sex with your father!’ Of course I was joking, but it
was funny. That’s what happens when I do these shows, it’s hilarious.”
That said, offstage and off camera, MacLaine prefers serenity. “I lived in New
York City for 20 years, and I
was on Long Island every
weekend in the summer. If I
