Speaking of tea…on a summer visit to the North Fork, I visited one of my favorite spots on the Island, Lavender by the Bay (lavendarbythebay. com), picked up some of their homemade lavender honey.

Rothschild. I moved to Garden City to raise my children, and as my children grew up, I found time to play tennis in the bubble in Garden City. After years of playing and the knees going out, I found golf through EWGA. I get to play on beautiful public and private golf courses throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties. From the day I joined EWGA, I knew I was in the right place with the right people. Over time, I learned about EWGA’s Core Values: Honesty, Integrity, Respect, Honor, Sportsmanship, Fun and Friendship. I took many beginner clinics, went to all the Rules, Ettiquette and Handicap seminars, and signed up for the Beginning Mentor Outing. In my second year, I felt comfortable enough to volunteer, so I signed up to marshal at the Senior PGA event at Eisenhower. I was totally blown away when I saw four of our members playing in the Pro Am with a Golf Professional. I knew right there I wanted to feel as comfortable as they were, able to play golf with anyone. The next year, I became Tee Time Captain for Eisenhower Park and met so many different members, some of whom have become my best friends for life. I was League Chair for three years, Vice President for two and am now serving my second year as President. I am the Director of Finance and Operations for National Land Tenure, a commercial title company in Garden City and recently married my longtime partner Mike Derle.

Health by Kathy Sena Women’s Health Update 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, the use of diuretics, history of high blood pressure, total vitamin C intake, and the daily intake of meats, seafood, dairy products and coffee. In the 22 years’ worth of data they examined, researchers noted 778 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 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. 10 • LONG ISLAND WOMAN • September 2011 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.” MEDICAL-TEST RESULTS: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO PROTECT YOUR HEALTH Whether you’re healthy or ill, there are a variety of medical tests your doctor might recommend for you.

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. ● 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.

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. Wendie Malick Her Three Hot Spots Cleveland, Causes & Career by David Lefkowitz “N eve to bec get 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.” ● “Now, more than ever, everyone needs to laugh every day because the world is getting increasingly bizarre.” Wendie 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!

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. ● News 12’s Carol Silva has been bringing Long Islanders their local news for more than 20 years.

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- “Unlike the chain stores, the money spent here goes right back into the community.” Book Revue’s local and independent book table 20 • LONG ISLAND WOMAN • September 2011 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.

Many indies also bring in a couple of authors at once for “conversations”–which you just can’t get anywhere else. I also think many bookstores–indies or chains–are maximizing their local book/local author selection. Otherwise, many readers would never find books set in their own town or written by a hometown author. Most of all, though, booksellers at stores have become even greater “handsellers” than ever, with strong relationships with customers.

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.
