Making The GradeWith Cheese

Insights from an expert on what to serve andgive this holiday season

By Ronald [email protected]

Craig Gile has just arrived at a cheese factory in Vermont. He uses a cheese tri-er to cut a small sample of cheese and smells it. He takes a long look at theslit marks that the bacteria have made, makes his determination and the rest

of the cheese is put back in place. In a couple of years, someone may enjoy thischeese, although whether it eventually is classified as sharp or extra sharp will takemonths, if not years, to determine.It’s a job that Gile has done for 10 years. He is a cheese grader for Cabot Cheese.

It seems natural that someone who grew up on a small dairy farm in Northern Ver-mont would eventually land in such a position. What most don’t realize is how muchwork goes into grading cheese and making sure it is up to the standards that Gile andcustomers of Cabot expect.“There are so many flavors that can change the flavor of cheese,” he remarks.

“What we’re making today is what we’re going to sell in two years.”Gile says that there are many factors that can change the flavor of cheese. For

example, where the milk to make cheese is produced significantly affects the fla-vor. Cows in northern states have different diets from southern states, therefore thecomposition of the milk is changed and thus the flavor of the cheese. All cheese isproduced the same way, so a cheese that starts out sharp may eventually be classi-fied as extremely sharp. And cheese that doesn’t get the flavor that Cabot tastersare looking for may end up being sold for bulk processing to makeprocessed cheeses such as nacho cheese sauces.“Little changes can change the flavor,” says Gile.When describing the

different levels ofsharpness for cheese,Gile says that cheeselabeled as sharp shouldhave a mild, cream

taste. Extra sharp will have more of an acidic flavor. The highest level, seriously sharp,is a more open category as it encompasses cheeses which do not fit the other cate-gories. According to Gile, extra sharp and seriously sharp are the most popular flavors.For those planning a holiday party, or any other type of gathering, a cheese plate

is a popular appetizer offering. To make it especially tasty, Gile suggests selectingfive cheeses and keeping them separate from each other. When presenting them onthe plate, he advises starting with the mildest cheese, such as Brie, and continuingclockwise until reaching the sharpest cheese such as blue cheese.“Try to set it so it gets more intense as it goes around the circle,” Gile advises.With the holiday season upon us, Gile also recommends cheese as a gift idea. He

says that cheese is a very popular gift among people looking to give something special.“How many products are out there that have to sit for a number of years”, he asks. “If

you are able to give somebody a 3-year-old block of cheese, it takes a lot of time. There’sa lot of work and care that goes into that. That care is going to be reflected in the price.”As for what cheeses he recommends, he says that it all depends on each individ-

ual’s tastes. He says that cheese and beer pairings have become popular and the boldflavor found in beer goes well with old age cheddars. For those looking for more ad-vice, Gile says to seek out advice.“Don’t be afraid to ask advice,” he says. “People who are working there love

cheese. Go up to a cheese manager. They love to turn somebody onto cheese.”

Host of Travel Channel showshares his expertise forholiday travelers


One of the joys of the holiday season is gettingtogether with friends and family. For many,this means traveling long distances and stay-

ing in a hotel. Paying too much for a room, or having abad experience can take away from the joys that holi-days bring.Anthony Melchiorri is the host of the critically ac-

claimed Travel Channel series, Hotel Impossible. Thesecond season just recently premiered, with episodesairing on Monday nights at 10 p.m. In the show, Mel-chiorri and a team of designers help to turn thingsaround for hotels that are struggling.Melchiorri definitely has the ability and experience to

help these hotels as he has been in the hospitality busi-ness for 20 years. During that time he has been directorof front office operations at the Plaza Hotel, generalmanager of the Lucerne Hotel on the Upper West Sideof Manhattan, general manager of the famous AlgonquinHotel in Manhattan, senior vice president of the firstNickelodeon Hotel and Resort in the world in Orlando,first vice president of Tishman Hotels, asset manager ofthe Westin Hotel in Times Square and senior vice presi-dent of New York Hotel Management Company. He’salso been a protocol officer in the Air Force. Currentlyhe runs his own company, Argeo Hospitality, consultingon hotel projects for private owners and investors.Melchiorri recently spoke with Anton Community

Newspapers to give readers advice on how to savemoney when staying at a hotel during the holidays aswell as making sure that the stay is a merry one. Hissuggestions are as follows:

1. Do your homework to save money.Melchiorri says that after checking on the rates

through travel agencies and online sites, customersshould also contact the hotels directly. While manymay decide to take advantage of the convenience thatthese services offer and think they are getting a gooddeal based on the advertised prices, he says the bestdeals are usually part of packages offered by the hotelitself, without other entities involved.“Typically you’ll get a better rate with the hotel di-

rectly,” he commented.

2. Check alternate neighborhoods.While it would be nice to look out at the Rocke-

feller Center Christmas tree, or watch the ball drop onNew Year’s Eve from the comfort of one’s hotel room,so many others have that idea, which is why the hotelsin the most premier locations tend to be the most ex-pensive. By going just a few miles away, savings canbe found.“Look for a hotel a little off the beaten path,” Mel-

chiorri recommends.3. Watch out for baggage fees.Melchiorri recommends that travelers check on bag-

gage fees before purchasing their airplane tickets. Heespecially advises holiday travelers to check on thisand pack lightly as they are likely to return home withmore baggage from all the presents they’ll be bringingback with them.4. Books tours and restaurants in advance.For those who want to fully enjoy their trip, Mel-

chiorri suggests booking tours and restaurants in ad-vance. He advises that many simply rely on theconcierge for this. During the holidays, when every-thing is a lot more hectic, this can be a mistake. Bybooking in advance, travelers will not be struggling tofind a restaurant or be prevented from experiencingeverything a vacation destination has to offer.5. Check on crib availability.For those traveling with babies, Melchiorri stresses

to make an arrangement for a crib in advance. Mosthotels are not equipped to handle a high demand, asthose with young babies are not as likely to travel.However, during the holidays, there are a lot moretravelers with babies, according to Melchiorri, and ahotel that needs one or two cribs may suddenly need15 or 20. To make sure this in not an issue, he advisesthose with babies to attend to this.

Have you ever found yourselfstarting to dread the holidays?Ever felt more like saying

“Bah, humbug” than “Merry Christmas”when you run into family and friends? Ifso, you’re not alone. While the holidaysare supposed to be a joyous occasion,trying to meet unrealistic expectationsfrom decorating the mantle and trimmingthe tree, to hosting and entertaining fami-ly and friends, can bring out the Scroogein anyone. Suddenly the desire to createthe perfect dream holidays crashes intothe realities of tight budgets, too littletime and too many obligations, hugecrowds while shopping, and other issues.A simple way to ease the stress is with

a holiday-scented candle. “Many peopletell us that they find the very act of light-ing a candle to be relaxing,” says BobNelson, president of the National CandleAssociation. “However, the fragrancesplay a far bigger role. Festive fragrancescan trigger fond holiday memories all theway back to childhood.”There is a substantial body of re-

search supporting Nelson’s assertions.According to The Daily Mail Online, aresearch study used actual brain scansto demonstrate that new “odor memo-ries” - such as the association of a per-fume with a person - become a perma-nent memory in the brain. Often thesememories present a clearer recollectionof a person, event or time than anythingcaused by sounds, pictures or words.But what makes these memories so

different? “Part of it is the associationpeople have with certain scents. For ex-ample, if going out in the woods withfresh fallen snow on the ground to cutdown your own tree was part of yourholiday tradition, then Yankee CandleCompany’s Sparkling Snow or Balsam& Cedar candles will take you back tothose special moments,” says HopeMargala Klein, executive vice president

of brand, innovation and merchandisingat the Yankee Candle Company, whichmakes popular scented candles for alloccasions. “Every holiday memory hasa scent all its own that Yankee Candletries to identify,” Margala Klein adds.“Lighting a candle is the easiest way

to put some Christmas spirit into theair, and bring back the memories ofyour childhood when the holidays gaveyou such excitement and joy. So insteadof letting stress ruin the season, light ascented candle and let the fragrancetake you to a happier place.However, be sure to exercise proper

cautions so that the candles are notplaced near combustible items or arenot located where they may easily beturned over. This is especially true forhomes with young children or pets.

T he holidays are a special time of year to showthe important people in our lives how muchwe appreciate them — and that means gift-

giving. If picking out holiday gifts is painless foryou, you’re one of the lucky ones. More often thannot, people have a tough time finding the perfect

present for friends and family, particularly if youhave someone on your list who already seems tohave everything. So, if you’re stumped as to what toget that impossible-to-buy-for person, consider thesefive gift ideas that are sure to brighten anyone’s holi-day:

1. Gift your servicesRather than giving a tangible item, give your servic-

es; it’s the perfectly practical gift for the person on yourlist who may be short on space, lacking financial re-sources or would just appreciate a little extra help. Lovekids? Offer free child care so the recipient can enjoy anevening out on the town without worrying about the lit-tle ones. Have a knack for cooking? Gift a weeknightmeal that you deliver to the recipient’s doorstep. Knownfor your organization? Offer your skills to help the re-cipient organize a closet, office or other cluttered space.

2. Make a miracle happenPositively impacting others by giving a charitable gift

in the recipient’s name embraces the true meaning of theseason. The new Give Miracles Holiday Catalog fromnational nonprofit Children’s Miracle Network Hospitalsfeatures in-demand pediatric items and services that lo-cal children’s hospitals need — anything from comfort-ing teddy bears ($30) to a case of extra-small preemiediapers smaller than the palm of your hand ($170)! Forhigh-impact gifts like a physical therapy toy kit ($375)or a pediatric wheelchair ($970), funds can be collective-ly raised by numerous gift-givers. This option is ideal forextended families looking to do something more mean-ingful than the typical gift exchange.And to make that “do-good” feeling for the recipient

last long after the holidays are over, Give Miraclesdonors receive ongoing communication from Children’sMiracle Network Hospitals throughout the year abouthow their gift is making an impact at their local hospital.Browse the gift catalog at www.GiveMiracles.org.

3. Purchase a membership to a monthly clubRather than wasting money on a new gadget that will

quickly be forgotten, give a gift that benefits the recipi-ent all year long. Monthly clubs provide fun deliveries

For a really unique gift, give a fun experience such as a balloon ride. continued on page 18

For better or for worse, one of the most re-membered aspects of holiday celebrationsis the food. For years, families will long talk

about the delicious dinners that were shared at aholiday dinner. For those preparing the specialmeal, there can be a lot of pressure as they makewhat might be their most special dinner of the year.Michael Luboff knows a thing or two about

preparing meals that will be remembered. He cur-rently is the director of culinary relations for StewLeonard’s supermarkets and previously had beenthe executive chef at Mohegan Sun. He recentlyspoke with Anton Community Newspapers andoffered his insights for those who are cookingduring the holidays.“I think the first thing when planning this type of

event really comes down to get yourself a penciland paper and write your ideas down,” says Luboff.Luboff says that cooks should take into account

for whom they are planning. Among the consider-ations is the ratio of children to adults and what islikely to please guests. After taking all of that intoaccount, it’s time to hit the market because asLuboff says, “ We all know what turmoil the mar-kets can be this time of year.”The main part of dinner is the entrée. Luboff sug-

gests roasting a large piece of meat such as a stand-ing rib roast, pork roast, rack of lamb, prime rib, orbeef tenderloin. He recommends visiting a StewLeonard’s supermarket location, as he says thatevery store has a qualified butcher to help customerspick out a nice piece of meat and can also cut, trim,and tie as was done in the old-time butcher shops.Once the meat is picked, Luboff has strong advicefor making the meat as delicious as possible.

“Here’s the greatest tip I can offer everybody,”he says, “Don’t get too stressed out.”Luboff recommends roasting the meat at a simple

temperature of 350 or 375 degrees Fahrenheit until itreaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees. Headds that cooks should have a good thermometer tomeasure the internal temperature and when checkingthat temperature, they should insert the thermometerinto the same hole instead of piercing the meat fourof five places. He says this will result in a piece ofmeat that roasted up nicely, medium to medium wellon the outside, but medium rare in center, so thateveryone will get a piece done to their liking.“You’re not serving a roast that’s bleeding hor-

ribly and you’ll keep everybody happy,” Luboffsays. “Keep it simple.”Additionally, on rib roast and lack of lamb, he

recommends using a good olive oil as a rub alongwith salt, pepper, panko and Dijon mustard. Hesays that mustard carries well with beef or lamband meat will get a little bit crisp because of thepanko so there will be nice texture to the meat.“At the end of the day, it’s just keeping it sim-

ple,” he remarks. “No one wants to spend all dayin the kitchen.”As for side dishes, Luboff likes to roast root veg-

etables during the holidays such as parsnips, turnips,carrots, and brussel sprouts. He suggests keeping insimple by tossing in olive oil, sprinkling with salt,and adding fresh cracked black pepper, parsley, sage,and thyme. One of his favorite dishes is carameliz-ing red onions with pancetta or bacon, with fresh ap-ples that are diced. He adds in brussel sprouts andtosses with really good Maple syrup. Yet another fa-vorite of Luboff’s that is simple to make are stuffedmushrooms. He says this is easily made by sautéingdiced or chopped fresh vegetables.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year -but are you able to enjoy the holidays com-pletely? The approaching holiday season

means quality time with family, special deliver-ies in the mail and goodies that delight the tastebuds. But it’s important to be prepared and stayhealthy throughout the season so you can enjoyevery festive moment.Consider these holiday health essentials that

allow you to enjoy the season to the fullest:1. Do you see what I see?The sights of the holidays are a delight, but for

the millions of people who have trouble seeingsmall images and print, many traditional holidayactivities can be difficult to do. An easy solutionis a stylish pair of reading glasses. Glasses with alight that can be turned on to help you see betterin dim areas, ideal for when you want to readholiday greeting cards or recite “Twas the NightBefore Christmas” to the kids. Another optionthat is perfect for traveling is reading glasses thatfold to a compact size to easily fit in a shirt pock-et or purse, so you can be prepared no matterwhere your holiday adventures takes you.2. Avoid a blue holiday seasonThe holiday season is a special time of year

that coincides with another, less anticipatedtime: cold and flu season. No one wants to endup stuck in bed with a nasty bug missing out onall the festivities. That’s why now is the time tostock up on soap and hand sanitizer. Keepinghands clean is one of the best ways to preventthe spread of infection and illness, according tothe Center for Disease Control and Prevention,so be sure to scrub up often, including beforeyou cook, bake, eat or hold your preciousgrandchild.

Healthy Tips For Enjoying The Holiday Season

6. Be a little more cautious.Melchiorri says that crime tends to

go up a bit more during the holidayseason, so he advises travelers to be alittle extra cautious. Travelers shouldtake common sense precautions suchas not leaving bags unattended in busyhotel lobbies.7. Arrive early for your flight.“Get to the airport earlier than nor-

mal so you can use the overhead stor-age,” advises Melchiorri. “Overheadstorage gets filled pretty quick. Get onthe plane as soon as possible.”8. Try to avoid pet feesMany hotels charge a fee for travel-

ers bringing a pet. Melchiorri says thathotel managers will often waive that feeso he suggests that travelers make aneffort to get that done.

9. Try to avoid rollaway bed fees.Melchiorri says that fees increase for

rollaway beds during the holidays. Hesuggests that travelers try to avoid pay-ing a premium for a rollaway bed byspeaking to the manager and gettingthat fee reduced or even waived.“Speak directly to the front manager

and you are going to get that reduced,”he remarks.10. Enjoy the experience.Melchiorri says that while many look

at hotels as a convenience or a place tostay the recent storm raised that to an-other level for many, as hotels weretheir home. He says that most hotels re-ally met this challenge.“Hotel people stepped up their game

and realized that they’re providingmore than a roof over people’s heads,”he says. “They’re helping families over-come something really tragic and reallybecame part of the family.”

When traveling for the holi-days, remember to makeroom for all of the packagesyou will be returning with.

Grandma gives Johnny woolsocks. Susie delivers ear buds toGrandpa, who thinks an MP3

player is a character in a James Bondmovie. When it comes to the gaps be-tween generations, holiday gifts often em-phasize the span. But it is possible to findgifts that spring from common ground -and that can help close the generation gap.Sports-related gifts are one area

where the generations can meet. Manychildren idolize current sports figures,but are unaware of the legends thatplayed before today’s stars. From box-ing to gymnastics, and the four majorprofessional leagues, every sport isloaded with history.Taking the young person in your life

to a sporting event is a great way toshare your stories while enjoying theway the game is played today. Sitting ina crowded ballpark or arena, cheeringwith other fans, can create unforgettablechildhood memories that will be cher-ished and passed along to the next gen-eration. Other ways to create a bond us-ing sports-related gifts include retro jer-seys, hats and gear, all of which havebecome increasingly popular among theyounger generations.Sports aren’t the only pop culture phe-

nomenon with time-tested tradition andhistory. Certain super heroes, like Spider-Man, and movie characters, such asJames Bond, have maintained high popu-larity and long-lasting success. This is aspecial year for both characters, as theyare celebrating their 50th anniversaries. The Spider-Man franchise debuted in

1962 as a comic book. The tales of PeterParker growing up as a teenage highschool super hero have transformed intoTV shows, multiple comic strips and aseries of films. Video games are extreme-ly popular with the younger generation;25 percent of all people who play videogames are 18 or younger, according tothe Entertainment Software Association.And 190 million households own a next-generation gaming console. The latestvideo game shares the same name as theblockbuster movie and the original comicbook - The Amazing Spider-Man. Thegame is an epilogue to the most recent

film, and brings Spider-Man back to hisnatural habitat, protecting the streets ofManhattan. To celebrate this year’s 50thanniversary, additional downloadablecontent can be purchased that allows fansto play as Spider-Man co-creator andcomic legend Stan Lee himself.The James Bond franchise is celebrat-

ing its 50th year, too, making it thelongest continually running and secondhighest-grossing film franchise in histo-ry. Dr. No, the first James Bond film, de-buted in 1962. The 23rd installment ofJames Bond films - Skyfall – just hitmovie theaters. The latest video gameportrayal of the illustrious Bond, titled007 Legends, includes an overarchingstoryline tying together five classicBond movies - Goldfinger, On HerMajesty’s Secret Service, Moonraker, Li-cense to Kill and Die Another Day -along with a downloadable mission

from the latest movie. Throughout thegame, Bond’s past antagonists, likeJaws, Hugo Drax and Oddjob, are up totheir old tricks. From the classic villainsto the famous Aston Martin, 007 Leg-ends is a great way to assimilate withthe younger generation and tie back thepast generations’ recollection of theBond franchise.Grandpa was able to read the Spider-

Man comics when Peter Parker was ashy teenager and watch classic SeanConnery James Bond films and will nowbe able to enjoy watching his grandchil-dren interact with the same charactersand storylines that he grew up with andloved. Gift giving should be an experi-ence that both the recipient and giverenjoy. Relive your childhood throughholiday gifts and create a new memoryfor the young person in your life. (BPT)

Gifts That Can Help CloseThe Generation Gap

The character of Spider Man has entertained many generations and is a way forgenerations to connect.

3. Bundle up to walk in a winterwonderlandWinter and the holidays go hand-

in-hand, which means colder weatheris to be expected, including ice andsnow. Keep healthy by protectingyour body from the elements. Whenrunning about town shopping andgrabbing holiday essentials, be sure towear a scarf, mittens and boots if theweather is chilly so you can staywarm and dry. The winter wonderlandatmosphere is sure to enhance yourholiday mood, but catching a cold, orworse yet, frostbite, will leave youfeeling like anything but merry.4. Too many cups of cheer? Med-

ication can help

Sugarplums, roasted chestnuts, fig-gy pudding - while your holidaymeals may not include these types ofhistoric holiday fare, you’re probablynoshing on a variety of treats youdon’t eat at other times of the year.Eating rich foods and trying newdishes is naturally a part of celebrat-ing the season, but it can leave youwith an upset stomach. Whetheryou’re hosting an event at your home,or you’re traveling to another locationfor the holidays, be sure to stock upon antacid and other over-the-counterremedies for stomach troubles.With a few simple steps, you’ll

prepare yourself for your best holi-day season yet, one where you feelhealthy and enjoy every moment.

to a loved one’s address, an ongoing re-minder of your generosity. Monthly giftclubs are available for just about anything,

from wine and beer, to jams and cheese,to bacon and fruit.

4. Give a gift that growsPotted plants are a fantastic gift idea be-

cause they represent how your love contin-ues to grow for that special someone. Plus,plants are a wonderful addition to interiordecor and help clean the air. With so manyhouseplants readily available, you’re sureto find the perfect one for the person whohas everything. Does he gravitate towarddecor with vivid color? Choose a floweringplant that provides delightful blooms. Doesshe love Asian culture? How about giftinga bonsai tree or a bamboo plant?

5. Provide an experienceOften, it’s not what’s in the box, it’s the

memory that stays with so many people af-ter the holidays have passed. That’s whygiving a special experience can make a tru-ly meaningful gift. Think about what reallyinterests the recipient or an activity they’vewanted to do. Perhaps it’s a hot air balloonride or a whitewater rafting day trip. If theperson really loves to shop, hire a personalshopper for the day and let them see whatit’s like to live like a star. If the recipientloves gourmet food, purchase a spot in aclass taught by your town’s hottest chef.Any one of these ideas is sure to show

that hard-to-shop-for person on your listthat you’ve put some real thought intotheir gift. And ultimately, isn’t it thethought that counts? (BPT)

Remember the days when keep-ing track of your wallet and hid-ing packages in the trunk were

all you had to do to ensure your holi-days were safe and secure? Fast for-ward to 2012 - when the National Re-tail Federation says nearly 52 percentof holiday gift-givers will be shoppingonline - and staying secure requiresmore effort.The Internet Crime Complaint Cen-

ter (IC3), a joint initiative of the FBIand the National White Collar CrimeCenter, logged more than 300,000 com-plaints of online crime in 2011. The ad-justed dollar loss of those complaintstopped $485 million, the IC3 says. Toavoid becoming an unhappy holidaystatistic, consider these eight tips tohelp ensure your online shopping staysas safe as possible this holiday season:1. Update your software - Before you

start shopping, make sure your virusprotection, anti-malware and firewallsoftware are all up to date, active, andset to update automatically. Check yourbrowser to ensure it’s the most up-to-date version and if there are any securi-ty patches you should download.2. Be a wary buyer - If an online deal

looks too good to be true, it usually is.It’s unlikely you’re really going to get abrand new iPad for just $10, so treat in-flated offers with a healthy dose of skep-ticism. Scammers will often offer these“deals” as a way to entice you to providepersonal and financial information thatthey can then use to steal your identity oryour money. Be wary of the type of in-formation requested for your purchase.While a legitimate seller will certainlyneed your credit card information andmailing address, there’s never a reasonwhy a merchant should need your SocialSecurity or driver’s license numbers.3. Shop securely - Avoid sites that

don’t have clearly identifiable protec-tions in place. Web URLs should startwith “https” - the “s” indicates “secure”- and look for a lock symbol toward thebottom of the page that indicates the on-

line merchant has security software inplace. Use credit cards for purchases -rather than a debit card or bank transfer- as they offer additional layers of con-sumer protections for online shoppers.4. Don’t shop through emails -

Clickable links in emails can be suspectand may take you to a page whose solepurpose is to collect your personal in-formation. If you get a suspicious emailoffer purporting to be from a reputablevendor, bypass the email link, go di-rectly to the vendor website and lookfor the deal on the merchant’s website.5. Do your homework - Check out an

unknown vendor through reputable on-line resources like the Better BusinessBureau. Look for consumer complaints.Check out consumer review sites to seewhat others have to say about the vendor.6. Save your backup - Save receipts,

order confirmations and order numbers.This information can help you if youdon’t receive the merchandise you’vepaid for and need to pursue it with thecompany or file a consumer complaint.7. Shop on a trusted network - Keep

your online shopping activities con-fined to networks you know are secure- such as your own secured home wire-less network. Be careful using publicnetworks or Wi-Fi hotspots for youronline shopping as these may be easierfor hackers to access.8. Keep an eye on your credit - Un-

fortunately, holiday shopping and iden-tity theft go hand in hand these days.Throughout the holiday season, pay es-pecially close attention to your creditaccounts. Check your credit report atleast once during and after the season.Holiday shopping online can be con-

venient and easy - and a great source ofbargains. But while you’re shopping forthe perfect holiday deal, be sure to takesteps to protect your financial informa-tion and your identity from thieves andscammers. Preventive measures andsmart shopping practices can help en-sure the season is bright for you, andnot for cyber crooks. (BPT)

The holiday season is here and if you’re like most Americans, restaurants willplay a key role in your holiday plans and celebrations, as well as shoppingand traveling experiences. Each year, tens of millions of Americans visit

restaurants for their holiday meals or use restaurants to supplement meals at home.For anyone with a busy schedule, the opportunity to go to a restaurant or bring take-out items home allows for more time with family and friends and does not requirethe cleanup that typically goes along with cooking a meal.National Restaurant Association research shows that more and more, consumers are

looking for healthier items. While dining out this holiday season, parents looking for thosehealthful options for themselves and their children will be pleased to find a larger varietyof choices on restaurant menus. More than 110 restaurant brands representing 30,000 lo-

cations nationwide are nowparticipating in the KidsLiveWell program, an initia-tive established by the Nation-al Restaurant Association incollaboration with HealthyDining, a group of registereddietitians who have workedwith the industry for twodecades to help restaurantsprovide a selection of health-ful, dietitian-approved items.Participating restaurants

and qualifying Kids LiveWellmenu choices can be foundon HealthyDiningFinder.com,along with thousands of dieti-tian-approved choices for thewhole family. The program’sfree app makes it easy to findhealthful menu items for yourkids while out on the go. Theapp is available in the An-

droid market and iTunes app store andcan be downloaded at Restau-rant.org/KidsLiveWell.Restaurants participating in the

program can be found in every statein the country, including everythingfrom quick-service restaurants tofast-casual concepts, from thelargest restaurant chains to inde-pendent operators. Each one ofthese restaurants’ Kids LiveWellitems meets qualifying criteriabased on leading health organiza-tions’ scientific recommendations, including the 2010 USDA Dietary Guidelines.The initiative incorporates fruit and vegetables, lean protein, whole grains and low-fat dairy, and limits unhealthy fats, sugars and sodium.During the winter months, and particularly the holidays, we may be more tempted

by indulgent desserts and holiday meals. So what can people do to prevent possibleweight gain? Registered dietitian and the National Restaurant Association’s directorof nutrition, Dr. Joy Dubost, has a few recommendations:• Fill your plate with fruits and vegetables, which are lower in calories and packed

with nutrients.• Try incorporating more fiber-rich whole grains into the meal, which may help to

keep you fuller longer.• Don’t think you have to avoid your favorite desserts; just remember to choose

smaller portion sizes.• If you are going to eat a more indulgent meal, adjust your calories accordingly

throughout the day but do not skip meals. Eat slowly and enjoy the dining experience.* Don’t forget to keep up your physical activity to ensure you are burning the

calories you have consumed.• The holidays can be an especially busy time for families. The Kids LiveWell and

Healthy Dining programs help ensure families can celebrate this holiday season withnutritious, well-balanced meals. Wherever you choose to celebrate, have a happyand safe holiday season. (BPT)

Better Choices When DiningOut During The Holiday Season

When eating out, filling a plate with fruitsand vegetables will make the meal muchhealthier.

BooksBy Dave Gil de Rubio

[email protected] by Joe Posnanski (Simon & Schus-

ter) – The Sports Illustrated senior writer wasgiven extraordinary access to his subject on aproject that started out as the quintessential biog-raphy of Joe Paterno. Posnanski was still pullingit together when the Jerry Sandusky child abusescandal broke. While he addressed it in a very di-rect manner, the bulk of this tome is an overviewof the late legend’s life and career that ended inan ignominious fashion. Island of Vice: Theodore Roosevelt’s Doomed

Quest to Clean Up Sin-Loving New York byRichard Zacks (Doubleday) – When up-and-comer Theodore Roosevelt was appointed NewYork City police commissioner at the turn-of-the-century, he overreached in trying to snuff out vicein this metropolis. And while he temporarily sawover a crackdown that closed down numerous sa-loons, brothels and gambling dens, TR’s efforts atreform eventually unleashed a backlash that foundit all blowing up in the future president’s face. One Last Strike: Fifty Years in Baseball, Ten

and a Half Games Back, and One Final Cham-pionship Season by Tony La Russa (WilliamMorrow) – Hinged on the remarkable champi-

onship run the 2011 St. Louis Cardinals went on,this memoir also finds the storied baseball man-ager including a narrative of his travels oversee-ing the Chicago White Sox, Oakland A’s and theCardinals. Along the way, he also reveals someof the secrets to his winning ways and the rela-tionships he’s had with players over the years.

Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot byBill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard (Holt, Hen-ry & Company) – Native Long Islander BillO’Reilly and historian Martin Dugard followup last year’s Killing Lincoln: The ShockingAssassination That Changed America with asimilarly constructed book that addresses thatfateful day of November 22, 1963. The duo notonly retrace the days leading up to this heinousact and the actual assassination, but the after-math it had on the United States of Americagoing forward. Mortality by Christopher Hitchens (Twelve)

– The last work by this highly controversial cul-tural critic, it chronicles Hitchens’ diagnosis ofesophageal cancer, the subsequent 18 months upto his death and the treatises and observation hemade on his disease, treatment and how itchanged him. Joseph Anton: A Memoir by Salman Rushdie

(Random House) – When the late AyatollahKhomeini issued a fatwa calling for SalmanRushdie’s death due to the blasphemies supposedlyaimed at Islam by the publication of Rushdie’s TheSatanic Verses, the author went into hiding for nineyears. Using the pseudonym found in this memoir’stitle, (an homage to authors Conrad and Chekhovrespectively), the native of India spent his time onthe run, eventually using his notoriety to rub elbowswith celebrities, become lionized as a free speechicon and collect anecdotes which are generouslyspread throughout these 600-plus pages.The Passage of Power: The Years of Lyndon

Johnson by Robert Caro (Knopf) – One of ourtime’s most respected biographers, Caro’s claim tofame came via The Power Broker, his 1974 tome

A good book always makes a nice holiday gift.
