‘A Bronx Tale’ to come to Long Island ronx-born and raised, Chazz Palminteri was a natural choice to continue the long line of prominent Italian actors in the film industry. In the tradition set forth in the 1970s by such icons as director Martin Scorsese and actors Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci, Palminteri has brought grit, muscle and an evocative realism to the sidewalks of his New York neighborhood, violent as they are and were. Born in 1952, Palminteri grew up in a tough area of the Bronx and it gave young Calogero, Palminteri’s given first name, the life lessons that would later prove useful to his career. He started out pursuing his craft by studying at the Actor’s Studio with Lee Straussberg. He appeared off-Broadway in the early 1980s while paying his dues as a singer in his own band. Well known for “A Bronx Tale,” Palminteri originally wrote the script for the stage and performed it as a one-man show in Los Angeles. It became a hot property in Hollywood at the time since the film “Rocky.” Palminteri was offered over one million dollars to walk away from the project, and with $200 dollars left in the bank, he refused. He wanted to play Sonny and write the screenplay. One night DeNiro walked in to see the show and, as they say, the rest is history. The production moved to New York, where it played for four sold-out months and earned Palminteri nominations for the New York Outer Critics Circle for both acting and writing. While in New York, he completed the screenplay of “A Bronx Tale” and soon found himself starring opposite DeNiro, who chose the script for his directorial debut. Most recently, “A
B
Bronx Tale” was on Broadway at the Longacre Theater, where it finished a successful run and Palminteri closed out the show in the role of Sonny. Now Chazz Palminteri’s “A Bronx Tale” will head to Long Island, with two shows scheduled at The Paramount on Sunday, Jan. 20 at 8 p.m. and Feb. 24 at 7:30 p.m. Palminteri has more than 50 movies to his credit, including “The Usual Suspects,” “Bullets over Broadway” (Academy Award nomination), “Analyze This,” “Hurlyburly,” “Mulholland Falls,” “Faithful” (screenplay also written by Palminteri), “Poolhall Junkies,” “The Perez Family,” “Jade,” “Diabolique,” “Down to Earth” and “A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints.” Recent films include “Final Recourse,” “Mighty Fine,” starring Andie MacDowell, “Yonkers Joe,” “Jolene” and “The Dukes.” He has also directed the HBO series “Oz” (episode, “Unnatural Disasters”), Showtime’s “Women vs. Men,” and the feature film “Noel,” starring Susan Sarandon, Penelope Cruz, Robin Williams and Paul Walker. Palminteri appeared on the New York stage in the play “The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui,” starring Pacino, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi and Billy Crudup. He is a member of the Actors Studio in New York City. Palminteri received the 1996 Leadership in Entertainment Award from the Coalition of Italo-American Association, Inc., and was honored by President Clinton with a Special Achievement Award for the Performing Arts from the National Italian American Foundation in Washington, DC. Palminteri resides in Westchester with his wife and two children.

Finding the good in kids’ bad behavior Most parents have experienced feelings of irritation, embarrassment and frustration when their child misbehaves. It seems as if today’s kids are having a harder time than ever maintaining selfcontrol. In “The Good News About Bad Behavior: Why Kids Are Less Disciplined Than Ever — And What to Do About It,” author and journalist Katherine Reynolds Lewis explains why. When she faced parenting challenges with her own young children, Lewis used her reporting skills to investigate the phenomenon of bad behavior, crossing the country
to talk to parents, teachers, and kids and learning what works and what doesn’t from the top parenting, classroommanagement, rehabilitation, and brain-science experts. Lewis’ 2015 piece for Mother Jones about discipline at school, “What If Everything You Knew about Disciplining Kids Was Wrong?” struck a nerve with parents; it went viral via social media and quickly became the mostread story the magazine had ever published. In her book, she presents a comprehensive portrait of the modern state of bad behavior and highlights game-changing strategies.
Lewis, a certified parent educator, walks parents through four empowering approaches, all of which share
three key components, to help parents navigate tricky behavioral situations and work with their children toward
better solutions. Her outline of an Apprenticeship Model of parenting gives kids responsibility within ever-increasing limits. Lewis will give a talk about her book and methods at Landmark on Main Street, as part of their Conversations from Main Street community programs, on Tuesday, Jan. 22 at 7 p.m. This free event is co-presented with the Port Washington Early Childhood Partnership and the Port Washington Children’s Center. Landmark on Main Street is located at 232 Main St. in Port Washington.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE
Showcasing Chinese artists at Gold Coast BY D E M I G U O The Gold Coast Arts Center’s first exhibition of Chinese artists kicked off with a reception on Sunday, in hopes of showcasing unique artistic styles and showing the community it is embraced in Great Neck. The paintings of eight artists draw from contemporary and traditional styles, influenced by the cultures not only of the old country but the Chinese diaspora. “This is to let them know that they’re part of our community,” gallery director Jude Amsel said. She expressed ambitions to host exhibitions every year at the arts center in Great Neck, including Asian artists beyond Chinese. Some of the artists are volunteer teachers at the Long Island School of Chinese. The art of one of these teachers, Shi Xiangdong, is the first display to greet visitors at the entrance. He oil painted Chinese dishes. “What we portray here is Chinese culture,” he said, by using something simple and so universal, even westerners would immediately recognize subjects such as mapo tofu. At the same time, he said, the food appeals to those who grew up eating it at home.
“It doesn’t matter whether you’re an American-born Chinese or Chinese from China, he said. “The moment you see this spread, you’ll be drooling for it.” The gallery extends to the end of the hall, where the couple Wei Hai and Huang Yulin’s paintings hang on perpendicular walls. Their background, Wei explained, is that they spent a significant amount of time in a program painting alongside children. While the children learned from them, they also learned from their perspective. “Therefore, we break everything down and express the world as we see it, regardless of what it actually looks like,” he said. While his style portrayed a lamb and a tiger — animals commonly found in art due to being in the Chinese zodiac — in black and white swirls and patterns, Huang’s was a shock of primary colors. One portrays Dunhuang, a historical city on the Silk Road, while the other shows their first impression of the Lunar New Year celebration in Flushing. “We moved here recently,” said Wei, a native of Beijing. The gallery is open for viewing until March 13.
