Grandma O'Leary's Cheesecake
Living Well
allisonk@southbaysneighbor.com www.allisonkugel.com
By: Allison Kugel
The Morning Hour
By Kerry O'Leary-Mastrobuoni of Massapequa
For Kerry O'Leary-Mastrobuoni, her grandmother's cheesecake has been a centerpiece of family life since her childhood. She says the family now makes Grandma O'Leary's cheesecake several times per year, including Christmas and Easter, in memory of her grandmother, Helen O'Leary. "She's gone now," says Kerry, "but we continue to make her delicious cheesecake in honor of her." What You Will Need
3 8 oz. packages of Philadelphia cream cheese 7 oz. of sugar 1 1/2 oz. of flour 4 whole eggs 5 oz. of sour cream 6 oz. of heavy cream 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust (optional) Mixing bowl and electric mixer Glass baking pan & aluminum baking pan
Combine Pre-heat oven to 500 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, add cream cheese,
sugar, flour and vanilla. Mix until creamy. Slowly add in eggs on a low speed. Add sour cream and heavy cream on a low speed. Pour Pour mixture into glass pie pan. If using pie crust, then pour into crust and place entire pie into glass pan. Lower glass pan into a slightly larger aluminum pan coated in hot water (to avoid any burning). Make sure cheesecake ingredients are level with water in aluminum pan (3/4 of the way up the outside of the glass pie pan. Do not over fill). Bake Bake for 10 minutes at 500 degrees. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees and bake for another 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees and bake for 20 minutes. Carefully remove cheese cake from water bath and allow to cool before serving. Enjoy!

with Allison Kugel
I find there is nothing more spectacular than rising early in the morning before others awaken, to take an hour or two to simply... be. The sun is just starting to rise, the house is quiet and still, nobody needs anything from me, and I don’t yet have to get ready for my day. Most significantly, I don’t have to be “me” yet. What do I mean by that? When our body awakens in the morning, there is a process that immediately starts unfolding. If we’re fortunate to have a bit of extra time, we can slowly open our eyes, stretch our body, take some cleansing breathes and enjoy the comfort of our bed for a few precious moments. But what happens next? Suddenly we remember who we are, as the preset programs rapidly download into our waking mind. We’re hit with a rush of information. “I have to get up and feed the dog, and get the kids ready for school, and get ready for work, and I have that deadline to meet, and there is going to be rush hour traffic this morning, and I have to pay that bill... and, and, and...
Once the old programs begin to play, we’ve lost that special energy field we’re in when we first wake up. Lately, I like to wake up at least an hour early. I use this “hour of power” to stretch, breathe, pray and sit in front of my fireplace sipping my coffee as the run rises. I focus on gratitude and count my blessings. Then, I take a moment to focus on my goals for the day, the week, the month. Not my obligations, there is plenty of time for that later in the day. In this sacred hour, I focus on my goals; the things I want to achieve to further empower my life and to be of service to others. It’s not easy being you, as it is not easy being me. That is, the me that is my daily program of stressors, responsibilities, obligations, dramas and problems. Have you noticed that when you are on vacation you feel invigorated, as though you’ve suddenly got a new lease on life? It’s because that new atmosphere jolts you out of the past and the future, and delivers you directly into the present moment where you forget to be you. You forget
all of the regrets of the past, the worries about the future, and you are just pure consciousness. You are no longer trapped in space and time. You are existing in no time (past or future), no space (your worldly designations), no thing (you). You achieve this same feeling when you are newly in love, or on those days where you serendipitously have the best day ever that just seemed to magically come together; one of those days you always remember. You, quite literally, forget to be stressed or unhappy. The joy of the moment has put you in the now. It’s a different state of consciousness. You can create that feeling daily by allowing yourself an extra hour in your day, when you first wake up, to revel in a pocket of time where you are nothing in particular, and yet everything, at the same time. It takes some discipline to wake up an hour before you have to, but the feeling of positivity and empowerment it affords is well worth practicing this new habit. You are investing one hour in you, the best investment you can make.

NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURE - As a culmination to their lessons on the Iroquois and tribes native to the New York area, fourth-graders at Mt. Pleasant Elementary School in the Smithtown Central School District participated in a day filled with handson activities by Journeys Into American Indian Territory on Feb. 4. The students began the day with a brief video presentation. The classes gathered to listen to presenters tell Native American stories, examined artifacts at a museum station and experienced life in a longhouse. They also participated in traditional Native American games, were taught how to throw spears and worked with clay. Photo courtesy of Smithtown Central School District

Rita Moreno: Legacy of a Hollywood Pioneer and Humanitarian By Allison Kugel
Multi-award-winning actress, singer and dancer, Rita Moreno, blazed an iconic trail as the first mainstream Hispanic actress to grace Hollywood, when she played Anita in 1961’s classic film, West Side Story.
SUFFOLK ZONE 2 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 20, 2019 • www.southbaysneighbor.com
Throughout the decades, the Oscar, Emmy, Grammy and Tony award winner continued to take on roles on her own terms, proving her staying power for six decades. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, she played Sister Peter Marie Reimondo in HBO’s first original dramatic series, OZ. Moreno currently stars as Abuelita Lydia Riera, the hilariously, spicy grandmother on the new incarnation of Norman Lear’s television creation, One Day at a Time, now streaming its third season on Netflix. The show’s official premise is, “Two Cultures, One Familia.” It’s an updated twist on the 1975 hit series starring Bonnie Franklin, Mackenzie Phillips, Valerie Bertinelli and Pat Harrington, but with a twist. The reboot centers around a Hispanic American family. In 2014, Actor Morgan Freeman presented Moreno with the Screen Actor’s Guild Lifetime Achievement Award, calling her “a world class actress, singer and dancer,” and just as significantly, “a fighter, who battled to break free of racial and sexual barriers that plagued Hollywood’s golden age.” Before there was Rosie Perez, Salma Hyek or Jennifer Lopez, there was the inimitable Rita Moreno. Recently, Moreno got the call from Steven Spielberg, for a remake of the film that put her on the map, West Side Story. Moreno will play a role in the film as well as Executive Produce. I sat down with Rita Moreno to discuss her career and journey. Allison Kugel: When you won your
Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 1962 for the film, West Side Story, you thought you would transcend racial stereotypes with the parts you would be offered. Rita Moreno: And I was very disappointed (laughs). Not only disappointed, but it really, really broke my heart. Allison Kugel: Your famous quote about this phase of your career was, “I showed them. I didn’t work for seven years.” Rita Moreno: When I say, “I showed them,” of course I’m being facetious. Allison Kugel: Of course. And in this business, it’s very hard to turn down work. Writers write; Actors act. It’s what you do, and you crave it. Rita Moreno: Not only crave it. It pays the rent. Allison Kugel: Yeah, and then there’s that! (Laughs) Any regrets about taking that stance? Rita Moreno: I think it was a very good decision on my part, because the only thing that was being offered, really, were gang movies, and they certainly weren’t as interesting as West Side Story. I think it would have depressed the heck out of me to go back to that stuff. It paid off in the sense that I had peace of mind, and I didn’t feel like I was being insulted. Allison Kugel: Let’s talk about the amazing Norman Lear and the One Day at a Time reboot on Netflix you’re starring in. Rita Moreno: Isn’t he something?! Allison Kugel: I think he is a genius! Rita Moreno: He is a genius, you’re right. He’s still going strong. He’s going to be 96, and he can speak and he can walk (laughs). He’s a remarkable man, and a lovely, lovely person. Allison Kugel: All in the Family is my favorite sitcom of all time. Rita Moreno: Oh, it’s one of my favorite shows too! Allison Kugel: The way he has tackled race, gender, religion, sexuality...on and on, has helped to re-shape society. The original One Day at a Time with Bonnie Franklin, Mackenzie Phillips, Valerie Bertinelli was very progressive in that single motherhood was much more taboo at that time. With this
updated version, there’s an extra layer to the story in that the family are Hispanic Americans. After all you went through in terms of fighting for roles that accurately represent Hispanic people, do you feel a sense of vindication at portraying a positive representation of a Hispanic family on television? Rita Moreno: Vindication implies that I’m still angry. No, I don’t feel any sense of vindication. I’m just so happy and so proud that Hispanics have more representation. I think we’re still not there. I think we are underrepresented. But feeling vindictive is a waste of time, don’t you think? Allison Kugel: Wrong choice of words. Perhaps a better way to put it would be, “a sense of wholeness.” I was watching an episode earlier, and there’s a scene where your character, Lydia, is talking about the racial slurs she endured in her generation. When her daughter and granddaughter ask her for specifics, Lydia summons up the courage to say the word “spic” out loud. The context of the scene is that she is disempowering that word that was so painful for her. Rita Moreno: What was so remarkable about that scene is that kids don’t even [fully] understand that word. Lydia is carrying on and on about the word “spic,” and everybody in the room is like, “Yeah, so?” It was a terrible word in my time. I love that! Allison Kugel: What do you hope viewers of the updated ODAAT will learn about Hispanic American families? Rita Moreno: It’s what I think they are learning, because we have now gained an American audience as well. We always, of course, had the Hispanic community watching the show. People who are not Hispanic are learning that family is family is family. It’s universal. That’s what Norman was hoping for. You want the universality of the situation to work on people, and that’s what has happened. That moment of, “Oh My God. We’re like that too!” Just add in some spice and some deliciousness, which is the Hispanic nature of the show. Allison Kugel: When you hear other Hispanic performers speak, and I know I have heard this from Jennifer Lopez, they always refer to you as the gold standard of excellence and inspiration. You made them believe that this career was achievable for them. Have you had a chance to
speak to any of the younger Latino actors and singers about your influence on them? Rita Moreno: I’ve heard it from Jennifer, and I’ve heard it from Rosie Perez, and also from Andy Garcia. Allison Kugel: As someone who emigrated to the states from Puerto Rico as a young girl and who wanted to be a performer, who did you look to as a blueprint? Rita Moreno: Well, you know what? No, there were no role models when I was young, and working in the movies in my late teens. There was nobody. I chose one for myself. I chose Elizabeth Taylor, because she was close to my age and she was brunette (laughs); and she was beautiful and gorgeous. I made her my role model. But, you know, there was just nobody that looked like me. The Hispanic community very often calls me La Pionera, the Pioneer. Allison Kugel: Let’s talk about the upcoming remake of the film West Side Story. Rita Moreno: Isn’t that astonishing though? Talk about coming full circle. Allison Kugel: How did you become involved as Executive Producer? Rita Moreno: [Steven Spielberg] always wanted to do the film and he was a good friend of Robert Wise, who co-directed the original film with Jerome Robbins. The interesting thing is that he’s not updating [the story]. It will still take place in 1957. It’s Romeo and Juliet. What’s wonderful about the young girl that he chose for the remake (17-yearold newcomer, Rachel Zegler) is that she is a young girl. Natalie Wood was a woman. I was a woman, playing Anita. I was really, way too old for that role. But that’s how it happened, then. Tony Kushner is doing the script. He wrote Angels in America. The storyline in the new film will be that Doc, who owned the candy store
in the original film, passed away, and now it’s Valentina who runs the candy store (being played by Moreno). They offered the Executive Producer credit to me, because Steven feels that I am the bridge to this movie. Allison Kugel: In the original West Side Story, Natalie Wood who played Maria, was not Hispanic. Is the young actress who will play Maria in the remake, of Puerto Rican descent? Rita Moreno: She’s Hispanic, and that’s what counts. I think she’s Columbian. Here’s the thing; she’s Hispanic, she sings and she’s seventeen. With Romeo and Juliet, that’s how old Juliet was supposed to be. Steven Spielberg and Tony Kushner have been absolutely crazy when it comes to finding Hispanic people to play the Hispanic roles. They even called the University of Puerto Rico and made an appointment for a panel meeting with an audience who were allowed to ask questions about the movie, and [express] how they felt about it. But I did tell Steven, I said, “You know, there are always people with agendas. There will always be somebody who’s not happy with it because of… whatever. So, get used to that. It’s going to happen.” Photo Credits: Rita Moreno Headshot, Austin Hargrave; One Day at a Time still, Courtesy of Netflix The third season of One Day at a Time is now streaming on Netflix.

February’s Charity of the Month is: Paws of War www.PawsOfWar.org
“Helping Both Ends of The Leash” Paws of War is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that trains and places shelter dogs to serve and provide independence to our U.S. military Veterans who suffer from the emotional effects of war. In turn, each Veteran can ex p e r i e n c e the therapeutic and unconditional love that only a companion animal can bring! Since 2014, Paws of War has supported over 100 Veterans with service dogs rescued from kill shelters. As explained in my previous articles, Paws of War offers many different services to our Veterans. In addition to those services, this organization runs various programs which gives those in our community the opportunity to get involved. Their Youth Program aims to develop the character of our nation’s youth. A critical part of what Paws of War does with this program is sharing stories of their Veterans and their dogs to inspire and motivate children. This character development based program will provide students opportunities to explore the concepts of courage, patriotism, sacrifice, integrity and humility, and how these values can be exemplified in daily life!
Paws of War also allows their community to get involved through Community Fundraising Events. They feel their supporters are full of great ideas for raising funds and awareness! Some examples of events you can host to benefit this organization are: Bowling Nights, Bake Sales, Concerts, 5K/10K Walks, or even a Themed Dinner! If you would like to organize a fundraiser to benefit Paws of War, please let them know by registering your event on their website! They will let you know when your event has been approved and then they will support your fundraising efforts in various ways, such as by sending you a fundraising tool kit and event posters! Lastly, you can get involved with their Corporate or Non-Profit Partnership Program. The commitment and financial support from their partners is critical to their organization’s success. You can partner with them in a number of ways, such as arranging a sponsorship/co-sponsorship event or through cross-promotional marketing! As this organization relies heavily on donations and devoted volunteers to continue providing all they offer, please call their office at (631) 406-6595 if you would like to donate or become involved in any way. Additionally, if you are a Veteran and believe you can benefit from any of their services, please contact Paws of War...they are here to serve you! Thank you for serving our great nation.

‘TRU’ Business Experience Smithtown High School West’s virtual enterprise class, TRUBLU Technologies, has evolved to be the one of the top 40 virtual enterprises for 2018.
Created in 2016, TRUBLU Technologies sells a variety of practical Bluetooth, app-based products that meet the needs of the tech community. Teacher Phil
Como leads the students as they journey into creating a fictitious company from top to bottom. Last month, TRUBLU Technologies took their
business on the road and competed in the Long Island virtual reality tradeshow at LIU Post. More than 100 virtual companies from Long Island participated with trade booths that sold their products to customers and other virtual enterprise students. TRUBLU Technologies chief officers presented their 30-page business plan presentation to a
panel of judges. TRUBLU Technologies received the gold award for its e-commerce website and the silver award for its sales/marketing campaign. Students have the opportunity to earn six college credits through SUNY Farmingdale during this simulated business experience. Students are interviewed and hired into their respective executive positions by members
of the Smithtown IAB. TRUBLU CEO Juliana Buonaiuto said the class has taught her how to manage all the different departments as well as the people within the organization. “This class is helping me to prepare for the real world,” she said. “It gives us a realistic look at how to run a businesses without any of the risks.”
