Dr. Stephen Greenberg on why Fall
is the perfect time to have the cosmetic surgery procedure you’ve always wanted.
Back to School… Those words can evoke fear, excitement, trepidation, stress, or
relief – depending on your perspective. Regardless of your feelings about this time
of the year, fall can be a very exciting time, with the season changing, the weather
cooling and the holidays looming ahead. It is also the right time to think about how
you can finally deliver on your commitment to doing something for yourself. Back to
the gym, back to the diet – the new season brings with it the impetus to look better
and feel better. Now that the kids are back in school, this is the perfect time to have
the cosmetic procedure you’ve always wanted. Utilizing only the latest and most
advanced products, your recovery is fast and the sooner you act, the sooner you’ll look
fantastic. Get ready for your winter vacation or spruce up for the holidays with SmartLipo
MPX®, the most advanced technique in liposuction available. If you have been considering a
Tummy Tuck – post-pregnancy or weight loss – this procedure can have you in great shape in
a very short period of time, and you can show off that terrific figure at the holiday parties.
Another option to consider is Zerona®, the newest “fat melting” non-surgical procedure that
reduces inches quickly!

Use this time to tune up and make a difference in your appearance. Using a customized plan
of cosmetic surgery, coupled with a comprehensive needs assessment, ensures positive
results. The determination of what areas of the body could most benefit allows people to
achieve a positive and realistic result as well as a natural and younger look.
It is often a combination of services that produces the best result. It is in that spirit that Dr.
Greenberg created several packages to completely address your specific needs from top to
bottom including About Face, Ultimate Breasts, The Mommy Makeover and SmartLipo MPX
for isolated problem areas.

to “hot mom” with a

SmartLipo
MPX®: Light

with less bruising
and shorter

If you decide that this isn’t the time for cosmetic surgery, but would like to look younger,
consider “injectables,” which are very effective in reducing lines and wrinkles on the face
without surgery. As recently reported by the Aesthetic Surgery Education & Research
Foundation (ASERF), the use of Botox® and other dermal fillers are continuing to grow in
popularity. Exciting new products including Dysport®, a wrinkle relaxer, and injectables such as
Restylane® containing lidocaine, have expanded the market and increased the options
available to people seeking immediate results with significant reductions in facial lines and
wrinkles. As you look toward improving your appearance this fall, consider achieving a
younger and fresher look by combining injectables with microdermabrasion,
Photorejuvenation, peels and laser hair removal that will dramatically improve your
appearance.
Fall is here, the kids are back in school, and this is the perfect time to have the cosmetic
procedure you’ve always wanted and to start on the path to a younger looking you!

How long have you lived on Long Island?
Counting Brooklyn, I have lived on Long Island most of
my life, except for 11 years when I lived in Manhattan. I
moved back to Long Island to raise my family. The biggest
draw about living on Long Island is having family close by.
Next are the beaches.
Tell me about your career.
I’ve spent my career as a writer, editor, and story seeker.
I started out in book publishing as an editor and then
switched to journalism because I wanted to write rather
than strictly work on someone else’s words. My byline has
appeared in local and national media, in dailies, weeklies
and monthlies. I also wrote and co-wrote three books in
just a little over one year. Now, as the editor of Port
Washington Patch, a local community news site, I have the
perfect mix of writing, editing and searching for stories.
Your new job sounds great.
I’m a one-woman show, with lots of support from some of
the best editors and freelancers around, and I use some very
cool technology. Patch—which is owned by AOL—is a growing organization, with news sites opening across the nation.
The news media certainly has been changing.
I think a big hole was left when traditional news organizations began shrinking, but now with online community
news sites, news organizations are being held accountable
like never before. This is a real value to the public, and I
believe readers across generations already appreciate that
they can get the kind of news that matters to them most.
You can already see changes with community journalism.
On a site like Patch, for instance, readers have the chance
to be interactive. They're encouraged to share their news,
upload photos and videos, post announcements, and comment … all in real time. I think this makes for a more
engaging experience and allows for more voices and more
discourse, which helps to keep the public better informed.

Savior Siblings
A Long Island Family Fights to Save Their Daughter
THE MATCH: “Savior Siblings” and One
Family’s Battle to Heal Their Daughter by Beth
Whitehouse (Beacon Press; 2009; 255 pages;
$24.95).
When Pulitzer prize-winning reporter Beth
Whitehouse was an undergraduate journalism
student at Northwestern University, one of her
media idols was Barbara Walters. Fast forward
to April 2010. Beth is sitting in the audience of
The View and her newly-published book is in
the hands of Barbara Walters.
The book is The Match, and the family about
whom it is written — the Trebings of
Nesconset — is being interviewed by the hosts
of The View, including Barbara Walters. Beth
Whitehouse is an onlooker, just as she had
been for the last several years, spending intensive time with the Trebing family in order to tell
their incredible story, first as a special series for
Newsday — where Beth has been a staff
writer for the past 17 years —and then as an
author, when the story became too big to be
contained by a newspaper.
The story centers around Katie Trebing, who
was born in 2002 with Diamond Blackfan
Anemia, a very rare blood disease which
prevents bone marrow from producing red blood cells. Monthly
transfusions became a part of
Katie’s life from the beginning, but repeated transfusions could, over time,
cause heart and liver
problems, with little
chance for a long and
healthy life. Katie’s parents, Stacy and Steve, were determined to do
whatever they could to save Katie from this devastating illness, but the only way to obliterate the
disease was a bone marrow transplant. The

bone marrow to Katie. It wasn’t an easy decision – or an easy process –
but in 2005, assisted first by a state-of-the-art medical procedure called
preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and then through in vitro fertilization (IVF), Stacy Trebing gave birth to Christopher, who one year later
would donate the bone marrow that would cure his older sister’s Diamond
Blackfan Anemia.
PGD is a highly controversial procedure, fraught with bioethical dilemmas. The Trebings did all they could to be sure they were making the right
decisions for their daughter. They did exhaustive Internet research, they
consulted with doctor after doctor, they conferred with parents of children
with Diamond Blackfan and other similar illnesses, and their decisions did
not come lightly.
Beth Whitehouse was there every step of the way — looking over the
shoulders of the doctors, in the hospital with Stacy and Katie during the
long and lonely pre- and post-transplant process, and spending time at
home with the Trebings, who were desperately trying to lead as normal
lives as possible.
The Match is a brilliant book. It reads like a novel, the compelling story
unfolding with each chapter, but the author also enlightens us with
exquisitely detailed explanations of the latest scientific advances. Through
comprehensive interviews with medical professionals, friends and relatives
of the Trebings, and a multitude of bioethicists, Beth Whitehouse gives us
much food for thought.
I had a chance recently to sit down with Beth Whitehouse to learn more
about the writing of The Match.
Long Island Woman: How did the whole project come about?
Beth Whitehouse: I was working on a story at Newsday about
couples using PGD to choose the sex of their baby. As part of
the story, I spoke with Dr. James Stelling of Reproductive
Science Associates in Mineola, who introduced me to the
Trebings, a couple who intended to use PGD to create a
match for their seriously ill daughter. The Trebings
began the PGD process in June 2004, and the
Newsday series about their journey came out in
September 2007, after the transplant was successful.
How difficult was it staying unbiased?
It was difficult not to get emotionally involved
with this wonderful family, and I kept hoping for
a happy ending, but in the book, I tried to separate what the family was going through and
the heartwrenching decisions they had to
make from the controversy and ethical issues
surrounding these incredible medical
advances.
This project must have been very difficult for
you emotionally.

Savior Siblings
The hardest part for me was my visit to the Zangrando family in Ohio. They
lost their 12-year-old son, Keir, to complications from a bone marrow transplant from his sister. They have photos of him all over their house, and when
I looked at the photos, they reminded me of my own son.
You write about your interview with Jodi Picoult, author of My Sister’s
Keeper.
So much about the process is the same, but Jodi Picoult had to create a
worst-case scenario in order for her novel to work. Geneticists were disturbed because of how extreme Picoult’s fictional case was, but so far, they
seem to be happy with my book.
The ethical issues are enormous. Did you find yourself grappling with them?
Our country is based on individual rights and freedoms. But if we allow
people to one day use PGD to choose traits they would prefer in their
embryos – which isn’t being done yet, but which ethicists worry about -- will
we wind up with a nation of tall boys because that’s what parents might
elect? I wonder if my grandchildren will use PGD and IVF because, as medical technology becomes easier, cheaper and less invasive, that will become
the norm. The guideline for many doctors is that medicine should be used
for the alleviation of human suffering, period.

Eating Healthfully?
Test your Nutritional IQ
Have you ever bragged about how clean your diet is? Do friends rely on
your nutritional savvy when they have questions about healthy foods? Or do
you know how you should be eating but find it takes too much effort?
Test your nutritional know-how by answering these true-or-false questions.
1. If you’re planning on having a big dinner, skipping breakfast will let you
save up calories so you don’t gain weight as a result.
2. Drinking eight, eight-ounce glasses of water will keep you hydrated.
3. It’s difficult for vegetarians to consume enough protein.
4. “No-fat” foods are better for you than regular-fat versions.
5. You should eat five servings of fruits and vegetables for optimal health.
6. Nuts are bad for you because they’re high in fat.
7. Eating foods low on the glycemic index can help you lose weight.
8. “Whole wheat” and “whole grain” bread are the same things.
9. High-fiber foods can help you lose weight.
10. If you eat a high-protein diet, you’re more likely to become dehydrated.
11. The best mid-day snack is something high in carbs like a bagel or pretzels.
12. Because they’re high in calories, beans should be eaten only rarely.
13. Eating out frequently can cause weight gain.
14. Beer is a good source of carbohydrates.
15. Negative calorie foods like celery help you lose weight.
1. False. It seems logical that the fewer calories you eat for breakfast and
lunch, the more you can afford to consume later on. But when you undereat during the day, you set yourself up for overeating at dinner, says
American Dietetic Association spokesperson Jackie Berning, an assistant
professor of nutrition at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.
Better bet: spread your calories evenly throughout the day.
2. False. The standard of eight, eight-ounce glasses of water is only a
guideline. For some people, this may be a sufficient amount of H2O, but if
you exercise intensely, it may not be nearly enough. Consider this: according to the American College of Sports Medicine, people should drink 14 to
22 ounces of fluid 2 to 3 hours before exercise; 6 to 12 ounces of fluid every
15 to 20 minutes during exercise; and 16 to 24 ounces of fluid for every
pound of body weight lost during exercise.
3. False. While vegans – people who don’t eat any animal products – may
have a difficult time consuming enough protein, vegetarians who eat eggs
and dairy products have no trouble. Soy products, nuts, beans, and foods
made with “TVP” (texturized vegetable protein) can all contribute to your
protein needs as well.
4. False. Many no-fat or low-fat foods have as many calories as the original versions. But because the fat has been reduced or eliminated, eating
these foods may not give the same feeling of satisfaction or fullness. Worse
yet, there’s more of a temptation to go overboard, rationalizing “it’s fatfree.” Remember, calories still count.
5. False. Five servings a day is a great start, but studies show that eating
even more fruits and vegetables can produce additional health benefits such
as reducing your risk of cardiovascular disease. “Fruits and vegetables tend
to be lower in calories and more jam-packed with vitamins and minerals than
To advertise: 516-505-0555 x1 or [email protected]
other foods,” says Berning. The more you eat, the less you’ll consume of
more calorie-dense foods, which can help you lose or maintain your weight.
6. False. Forget the idea that nuts or any other food is “bad.” Nuts do contain fat, but they’re also a good source of protein as well. This doesn’t mean
you have carte blanche to inhale the cashews, but they fit into a healthy diet.
7. True. Research suggests that lower GI foods – which enter the bloodstream more slowly – produce less dramatic blood sugar peaks and valleys,
which may even out hunger levels and reduce food cravings.
8. False. Food packages can be tricky. “Whole wheat” bread may have been
processed and had caramel coloring added to look like whole wheat. To be classified as “whole grain,” however, the food has to contain all three parts of the
grain kernel including the bran, or outer coating, the germ, and the endosperm.
9. True. Research bears this out. Fiber helps fill you up, so you wind up eating less. Studies have found that increasing fiber intake is associated with
lower overall caloric intake. Shoot for 25 to 30 grams a day.
10. True. In a recent study, athletes who increased their protein intake to
about 30 percent of their total calories had more concentrated urine as a
result, which could lead to dehydration. Make sure you’re eating an appropriate amount of protein for your body weight and activity level, and always
drink plenty of fluids.
11. False. Add protein or fat to your carbohydrate snack, and it will have
more staying power. “Combining carbohydrates with protein and or fat
helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, which are digested and
absorbed rapidly,” explains Susan M. Kleiner, Ph.D., author of Power Eating,
The Second Edition (Human Kinetics, 2001). So put a little peanut butter on
your apple slices or add some turkey or light cream cheese to your bagel.
12. False. Beans are calorically dense, but they’re also a low-fat, high-protein food that contain phytochemicals and soluble fiber, which has been
shown to reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease. Make them a regular
part of your diet.
13. True. Blame the portions – a recent survey found that restaurant portions are often three to four sizes larger than standard ones. And, not surprisingly, another study found that women who eat fast food frequently are
more likely to weigh more – and gain weight – than women who pass up
the burgers and fries.
14. False. “People may think that beer is a good source of carbohydrates,
but alcohol carbohydrate is different than other carbohydrates,” says Berning.
Carbohydrates from food are digested and absorbed by your body, while carbs
from alcohol go straight to the liver, where they’re broken down. Alcohol in
moderation is fine, but forget about “carbo-loading” with a six-pack!
15. False. “There is no such thing as a ‘negative calorie food,’” says
Berning. “As long as it’s providing energy, it contains calories.” While 10 to
15 percent of the total calories of any food will be used to digest and
metabolize it, the rest will be available to your body.
So, how’d you do? If you got 13-15 correct, you’re a master of nutrition;
10-12 correct, well-educated about nutrition but still fall for some myths; 69 correct, you’re about average when it comes to nutritional know-how;
and less than 5 correct, you need to brush up on the facts – not myths –
about the food you eat! ◆

LONG ISLAND WOMAN • September 2010 • 17
by David Lefkowitz
“I’ve done television and movies and nightclub acts and national tours of
Broadway shows. I’ve raised a family. And throughout it all, I always embraced the
relationship with both my folks while I was doing my own thing.”
These could be the triumphant words of anyone who’s made a career in show
business without neglecting their heritage. But typical as the sentiments may
sound, this time they come from the offspring of a very atypical marriage: Lucie
Arnaz, whose parents, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, were both television royalty and
creators of one of the most enduring situation comedies of all time. Daunting as
that legacy sounds, the actress takes it in stride. “I’ve always told my kids, `This
whole thing about your grandparents: it’s real estate. Imagine you had a great
piece of property somewhere. You want to take care of it and make sure the right
houses are put on it. Don’t cheapen it, and it’ll always stay as valuable as it is.’”
Though Lucie and brother Desi Arnaz, Jr. have relegated the administrative nuts
and bolts of the Lucy-Desi empire to a licensing company, there are still daily
decisions to be made. “It takes a lot of time,” says Lucie, “and I know Desi doesn’t
enjoy it too much, so I do most of it. My daughter [Katharine] will likely take over
someday, since she seems to be the one who’d care enough to stick with it and
take care of it. We might say, `Yes, you can put mom’s face on a purse or a poster.
Yes, you can have a Lucy-Desi museum in Jamestown, NY, because she lived there
and and because they need the business.’ My mother and father’s legacy will stay
alive no matter what we do, but it’s good to function as the DesiLu police to make
sure the wrong things aren’t done.”
Guarding her parents’ memory, while far from Lucie’s full-time concern, has
nonetheless been an ongoing source of pride and exploration. In 1993, she produced the Emmy-winning documentary, Lucy and Desi: A Home Movie, not so
much as a gift for fans but as a way of learning about the people who raised her.
Recalls Lucie, “I tried to answer, `What was my mother like when she was a kid?’
So I asked my uncle Fred, who was her younger brother, `What did you do when
you played? What kind of stuff did you do just for fun?’ Because my mother was
not a particularly playful person. I find that hard to believe, considering the I Love
Lucy shows, but those were written by four other writers; they were not autobiographies of her life.”
Uncle Fred’s sobering answer caught her off-guard. “`We didn’t play,’ he told her,
`we worked. My father died before I was born, and my mother had to go away to
work. So your mother and I were in charge of the house: the cooking, the animals,
the cleaning. We worked 18 hours a day. Weekends, too.’”
That explanation proved a major lightbulb moment for Lucie. “I got it. She wasn’t at home with her mom, because her mom was off making a living. So my
mother didn’t have the innate instinct of what it’s like to be sitting and playing
mommy-daughter games. And when she grew up, what my mother knew how to
do really well was work. When she needed to calm down or feel better or run
away from an emotion, she worked. Whether it was at the studio, or cleaning out
a garage, or sorting through her clothes in the closet or cleaning silver – she
worked. To sit on the carpet and just play with the kids didn’t come naturally.
Which was really interesting because I didn’t find it natural, either. So you start
to see the cycles, and you think, `Somebody’s gotta throw a monkey wrench in
the cycle, or else it’ll go on like that forever.’
“These aren’t hideous, terrible things,” notes Lucie, “but they have to do with
bonding and what your children take from you. My kids started to act out kind of
weird around 4-to-8. I thought I’d been spending an enormous amount of time
with them – way more than my parents were with me. I had a nanny and help,
because I was a working actress and my husband [Laurence Luckinbill] is a working actor, too. But I took the kids to the doctors, I drove them to school, I made
their dinners – most of the time it was me. But could I say that I was literally only
with each of them, alone, for 15 minutes a day? Really focusing on them? What
I learned later from a wonderful child psychologist is that’s what children need.
Just 15 minutes alone with you every day. That little pay-attention-to-me time.
‘It makes them feel worthy of love,’ he said, which is the most profound thing I’ve
heard in a long time. It seems like all the problems in the universe stem from
some human being who somehow doesn’t feel worthy of love.”
Admits Lucie, “I think my oldest child got the worst of it, because the older they
are, the less they’re going to benefit from the changes you make. So my daughter benefited more than my two sons, who are playing a bit of catch-up in their
relationships and their ability to know what they want to do with their lives.”
Certainly, Lucie’s own early adulthood had its stutter steps. At 20, she married
Phil Vandervort, a young actor who went on to produce documentaries and serve
as associate producer of The People’s Court. “It was a ridiculous, stupid thing to
do,” sighs Lucie. “He was a lovely man, but I was way too young to make that
move. So I extricated myself from a bad mistake and eight years later met Larry
(Luckinbill).”
Considering the marriage has lasted nearly 30 years and counting, it was a
match made in New York theater heaven. “Larry and I were both on Broadway at
the same time in two different Neil Simon shows. He was starring in Chapter Two;
I was in They’re Playing Our Song. We were with mutual friends when we met at
Joe Allen’s restaurant. Larry came in to meet the lady who was taking over as the
lead in his play because at the time, his wife, Robin Strasser (of One Life to Live
witchery fame), was co-starring – and they were getting a divorce! Marilyn
Redfield took over, and she was a friend of mine. So we were having lunch one
day, and she said, `Oh, I’ve gotta hang around here because Larry Luckinbill is
coming to give me some pointers on the script. You know Larry, don’t you?’ I told
her I didn’t, and she said, `Oh, well, he’s going through this terrible divorce, and
he’s so depressed.’
“Second after she said that, in he walks. And he was really handsome and smart
– and kind of subdued, as one would expect under the circumstances. But I immediately thought, `Boy, he’s so unlike anyone else I’ve ever met.’ I invited him to
hang out with this group I put together called `The Matinee Idles.’ It was for people who were by themselves on a Saturday between shows, so they could eat with
other show people. Larry joined the group, and we became really great friends for
four or five months, and then we started dating. The rest is history; we’ve never
looked back.”
Though she’s two years shy of 60, Lucie feels scant trepidation when looking
forward to the years ahead. “It’s hard for me to believe I’m anywhere near the age
I’m at,” she says. “I look pretty darn good, I feel great, and I’ve never had more fun
as a performer than I’m having right now. It’s the old joke: 60 is the new 30. My
big concern is that my husband is a tad older than I am, and I just want us to keep
on truckin’ for another 15 years.
“I don’t understand the whole Hollywood `get your face done, youth youth
youth’ thing,” she adds. “With television and film, if it’s all you’ve got, and you’re
terrified they’re not gonna love you anymore if you don’t take the wattle out of
your chin, that’s a horrible way to live. My mother couldn’t have cared less. She
wore bigger sunglasses and higher collars, but she didn’t get her face done.”
When gently reminded that her mom was photographed through hilariously
gauzy filters for her 1974 turn in Mame, Lucie counters, “That’s the friggin’ film
business again. I blame my stepfather and the cinematographer – the ones who
said, `You gotta make her look like this.’ But as a human being at home with me,
she didn’t give me the impression that she had to go under the knife to make sure
her face looked a certain way.”
For her part, Lucie chooses exercise and a reasonable diet as her font of youthfulness. “I don’t do a lot of aerobic work anymore,” she confesses. “In 2006, I was
in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels on Broadway, and they had shoes made for me with
arch supports because they thought it would make it easier to dance, but they
popped out my knee, so I had to have a meniscus surgery. It’s fine now, but the

knee’s never been quite the same, so
the jumping-up-and-down aerobics
class doesn’t work well for me anymore. I don’t tap dance like I would
normally. But I drive all the way to
the city to work out with my friend,
Jon Giswold, who’s written two
books on fitness. He’s kept me going
and in shape, though I have to say
I’ve weighed exactly the same for
the last 20 years. No matter what I
do – if I drink like a sot on New
Year’s Eve, or if I starve myself for
two days, I’ll go one pound up or
one pound down, but my body is
what it is. Still, these days I really
pay attention to what goes into my
body. I follow Joel Furman’s diet and
go by how much nutrition is in the
food. There’s nothing I won’t eat, but
I eat more things that are used up in
my body quicker.”
It might surprise readers to know
that for all her Broadway and TV
experience, of late Lucie’s been
much more connected to her
father’s musical leanings than her
mother’s comedic ones. “As a musician and a singer,” explains Lucie,
“these (Latin) rhythms have always
been very moving to me. It cuts me
deep and gets me where I live. After
my father died, I found three little
cassettes in a plastic case that a fan
had sent him. They were recordings
of my father’s music live from Ciro’s
in Hollywood, taken from radio
broadcasts in the 1930’s and 40’s. It
encouraged me to make my own
concert and club act.”
This past January at the 92nd
Street Y, Lucie served as artistic
director for a celebration of Latin
Music as seen through the music
and arrangements of the Desi Arnaz
Orchestra. “We did five performances of The Big Babalu Show, featuring
Valarie Pettiford, who’s a jazzy, velvet-throated singer and an amazing
dancer; Raul Esparza, the finest
leading man on Broadway today –
who just happens to be Cuban, too –

about
Lucy, Lucie & Larry
•On I Love Lucy, though Lucille Ball’s pregnancy coincided with Lucy
Ricardo’s, Little Ricky was not played by Desi Arnaz, Jr., but by Keith
Thibodeaux.
•In her 1985 sitcom, The Lucie Arnaz Show, Lucie played a radio therapist
– at just the time Frasier Crane was starting to appear on Cheers
(although Frasier wouldn’t trade his couch for a microphone until 1993).
•In 2006, Lucie and daughter Kate co-starred in the last play produced (to date) at Florida’s beleaguered Coconut Grove
Playhouse, Sonia Flew. “As a matter of fact, the marquee was
up for a year after that,” recalls Lucie.
•Lucie’s most recent Broadway appearance was replacing
Joanna Gleason in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
•The Arnazes no longer own I Love Lucy or DesiLu. In
1953, Lucy and Desi sold CBS the rights to their sitcom
so they could buy RKO Studios and create DesiLu. After
Desi died, Lucy sold DesiLu to Gulf+Western, which is now
Paramount and also part of CBS. The Arnazes do still own
Here’s Lucy, which is currently being released on DVD.
•Lucie’s daughter Kate is named for Katharine Hepburn

stuff. We got an awful lot of comments
afterwards about, `When are you going
to do it again? Can you travel with it?’
We’re trying to do another limited run
in New York, but it’s hard to find the
right-size stage, so we might tour it to
Florida first.”
A studio CD of the material, “Latin
Roots,” was released Feb. 9 and even
features a song, “The Music in Your
Heart,” composed by Joe Luckinbill. “My
son, Joe, has a band in L.A.,” says Lucie.
“He’s on his way, but he’s struggling.
Musicians – oy! – how do they make it?
But he sent me a tune that I loved, and
I ended up writing the lyric. It was so
much fun to do the song together. It
ended up being about the muse in you.
In this particular case, it could be his
grandfather and his musical ability; it
could be me when I’m not around, it
could be himself or his own heart, or
how you’re never alone because that
path is always in your heart. `I’m in the
air you breathe in… I’m always gonna
be with you.’ It’s a very good sentiment,
and I like the song a lot.” ✺

We all know that stress
is a killer. In fact,
research shows that
stress causes a chemical
reaction in the body that
is associated with increased heart disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, type-2 diabetes, and certain cancers! Not only
does stress destroy our health; it also
eventually destroys our relationships, life
enjoyment, productivity, and ability to
earn a living.
The good news is that stress can be
completely RESOLVED; and not just temporarily relieved or managed! Impossible
you say? Not quite. The truth is that
stress does not cause our problems; it’s
our inability to handle stress properly
that causes our bodies and lives to break
down! This stress accumulates in the
body and mind and can cause:
back/neck problems, headaches, stom-
ach/digestive, fatigue, skin, infections,
moodiness, ADD/ADHD, depression,
fears, and irritability; just to name a few.
So how does someone attain physical
and emotional health and happiness
even with stress? Here’s how:

their lives by doing light pressure points

Admitting Mistakes and Moving On
Fess Up and Feel Better
If you’ve ever forgotten to pay the phone bill, cheated on your diet,
missed a deadline, or snapped at a loved one who was just trying to help,
you’re in good company. We all make mistakes.
Not ready to admit yours? I’m not surprised. Even when our errors are
obvious, we’re likely to deny, rationalize and justify them, says Carol Tavris,
Ph.D., social psychologist and co-author of Mistakes Were Made (But Not
By Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts
(Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2007). Several cognitive tricks ensure we’re
protected from the unpleasant awareness of our failings.
To begin with, we feel lousy when our behavior conflicts with our beliefs.
Psychologists call this “cognitive dissonance.” Because sniping at the boss is
out of line with our self-concept as capable, kind, and respectful people, it’s
hard to admit we messed up, explains Tavris. We’re more likely to justify our
actions – “I was just blowing off steam” or “He knows I respect him.”
Similarly, when caught in a lie, we’re more apt
to deny it than apologize.
We mean well. So it’s common to use good
intentions to justify bad behavior. When we
push our children to excel academically, and
they wind up overwhelmed and exhausted,
we reason, “I just want them to have the
opportunities I didn’t.” We may fail to notice
our errors or forget them entirely, because
we’re focused on what we wanted to do, not
on what actually happened. Unfortunately,
the best of intentions can’t undo the damage
we’ve done.
To make matters worse, justifying our errors
leads us to see what we believe, Tavris cautions. If you believe your husband starts arguments or fear he dislikes your body, you’ll unconsciously seek evidence
you’re right. This “confirmation bias” justifies your previous actions (like
being argumentative and perceiving criticism where none exists) and sets
you up for repeating the same old mistakes.
Acknowledging
our mistakes
allows us to
move past blame
and judgment
and on to
learning and
growth.
The High Prize of Admission
You may fear you’ll feel like a failure or subject yourself to hostile criticism when you admit missteps. But confession can have both personal
and relationship benefits.
“Acknowledging our mistakes allows us to move past blame and judgment and on to learning and growth,” says Donna Marzo, Psy.D., a
licensed psychologist and life coach. If you’re angry with yourself because
you stayed in a lousy relationship too long, ask, “What did I learn about
myself? What did I learn about the kind of relationship I want?” Focus on
what you’ll do differently next time. “If we want things to be different, we
have to be different,” Marzo suggests.
Facing failures directly also frees up your mental and emotional energy. All
22 • September 2010 • LONG ISLAND WOMAN
the effort that went into shielding yourself from your own criticism can be
channeled into living your best life. Admitting mistakes can be liberating.
Confession is truly a win-win approach. When you take ownership of
your mistakes, you allow other people to get close to you and give them
permission to be imperfect, too. Satisfying relationships are built on a
foundation of genuineness and compassion, and fessing up demonstrates
both. Relationships grow deeper and more nurturing when you get real
and make amends.
Avoid Self-Sabotage
Don’t get caught up in judgment mode. Labeling yourself a loser, beating
yourself up physically or emotionally, and getting stuck in the past aren’t
helpful. The language you use to describe your experiences can be revealing, Marzo says. Watch out for extreme statements like “I’m a financial failure.” These overgeneralizations prevent progress. Adopt the language of
learning, and tell yourself “I will spend money wisely.” Stay positive.
If your errors reflect a chronic problem, seek information and support.
There are resources available to help those struggling with addictions,
anger, overspending, and eating disorders. These problems require a lot
more than will power to overcome: going it alone sets you up for failure.
Although information won’t change you, it can help you change yourself.
Also, admit your mistakes to those you’ve harmed and allow them to
express their hurt. Don’t give a lengthy explanation of your behavior,
doing so undermines your apology. Be brief, direct and sincere. Thank the
other person for listening and ask for forgiveness. If it’s offered, allow
yourself to accept it and let go.
Moving On Up
When you’re ready to move on, follow these steps to make a smart selfimprovement.
First, identify how you want things to be different. Be specific. It isn’t
enough to say “I want to be financially independent,” Marzo warns. You
have to decide exactly what that means (perhaps you’ll pay all of your bills
with $200 left over for saving each month).
Next, identify specific steps to get there. If your goal seems overwhelming, zero in on small, concrete actions you can take. Giving up your daily
cappuccino might be the first step down the road to financial freedom.
Early successes encourage persistence.
Seek support from friends and family. Making your goals known reinforces your commitment and keeps you accountable. Tell coworkers
you’ve decided to stop gossiping, and enlist their support. Ask them
not to include you in their own gossip sessions and to bring lapses to
your attention. You may inspire friends to make their own plans for
improvement.
Above all, be patient with yourself. “We are going to make mistakes,”
Marzo says. “What we learn about ourselves and how we respond to
those situations is what matters.” ◆

Women Chefs
Q&A with 3 of Long Island’s Best
Carole Olkolski
Leisa Dent
Rosa Ross
“If you cook good food, it speaks for
itself”.
“I have dinner parties every day and my
customers become my friends.”
“I enjoy the physical aspect of actually
cooking and the creativity.”
I’m looking at the cover of a recent food magazine where there’s a group
picture of 10 top new chefs. Nine of them are men. Yet again, I wonder,
why are there so few top women chefs?
I decided to speak with three of my favorite Long Island women chefs to
find out what the chef experience has been like for them. The three are
Leisa Dent, who co-owns LL Dent in Carle Place with her mother, Lillian;
Carole Olkolski, the co-owner of RS Jones in Merrick; and Rosa Ross, the
owner of Scrimshaw in Greenport.
Q: Why did you become a chef?
Carole: I always loved to cook, then I fell in love with someone who
wanted to own a restaurant; the rest is history.
Leisa: When I was eight I loved to hang out with my mother in the
kitchen and I watched her and copied her. I loved the reaction of my family when I would cook because my mom went to school at night.
Rosa: Because I love to cook and I think I have a talent for it. Also, as a
woman, I could control my own hours because I work for myself.
Q: Have there been barriers because you are a woman?
Rosa: Mostly I worked for myself so I wasn’t dependent. On occasion if
24 • September 2010 • LONG ISLAND WOMAN
I worked with men chefs in the kitchen, even sometimes at a volunteer
job, they would give me the jobs that required heavy lifting. I think it was
a test to see if I would object. I never did and then they wouldn’t ask me
anymore.
Carole: When we first opened the restaurant in 1993, sales reps and
food purveyors would come into my kitchen, look right past me and ask,
“Is the boss here?” No one ever assumed I was the boss. However, besides
the attitude, if you cook good food, it speaks for itself.
Leisa: I have not had any barriers because most barriers have been in my
mind. Anything I went after I got.
Why are there so few female executive chefs?
Rosa: I think because there had been a bias; now I think it’s different. I
think a lot of women like to be pastry chefs because it gives them more
flexibility. They can do their work early in the day and leave.
It is still hard for women to get financing – people tend to have more
faith in giving money to men. I think women need to assert themselves.
They need to be very committed. They also need to love it – it’s too difficult. It’s hard to cook professionally. They just have to let all the stuff that
goes on in the kitchen roll off their back. If they get upset all the time,
they’re not going to make it. Just forget you’re a woman. Let go of the

Carole: In addition to a chef usually needing to work a tremendous
amount of hours – not conducive to family life – cooking can be physically demanding.
Leisa: It's hard work, very physical and sometime stressful and very
demanding. There are women that I graduated with that opted out of the
food service industry; they wanted to have a family.
