Jericho Cider Mill And Blue Point Partner Up

The result: Apple Crumb Pie Sour

JENNIFER CORR

Often apples come to mind when it comes to an autumn snack.

And where is a local place to find an autumn snack? The Jericho Cider Mill, which serves apple products like their famous apple cider, which has no preserva tives, all year long.

“We’ve been around for 202 years,” Jericho Cider Mill owner Kerry Ketsoglou said. “Like every year is when everybody comes out to get apple cider. Apple cider dough nuts is one of our big items. We specialize in apple pie and apple crumb pie. We do sell our cider not only on Long Island, but into the city, multiple different supermar kets and gourmet supermarkets as well. Our pies and our doughnuts can also be found in different locations throughout the island and the city.”

Now, not only can one score an apple crumb pie from the cider mill, they can grab Apple Crumb Pie Sour Ale, which has eight percent alcohol by volume content, courtesy of a partnership between Blue Point Brewery, based in Patchogue, and the Jericho Cider Mill.

Brewery Experience Manager Shelby Poole called this new product from Blue Point an “exciting one.”

“Blue Point Brewery reached out to us back in December of last year,” Ketsoglou said. “They were looking into exploring this type of territory.”

Poole said the collaboration was special because the co-founder of Blue Point’s wife, Alycia Burford, grew up near the cider mill, and the idea came from Blue Point Inno vation Manager Adrian Hot, who had tried various fruited sours before.

“Pastry beers are a thing,” Poole said. “So it just kind of became a connection... We tried a couple things. We tried a berry cob bler. That was one of the tests. But once we started working with the Jericho Cider Mill, we knew we wanted to use their signature product.”

Blue Point Brewery has been ventur ing into seasonal collaborations with other companies in the area such as The Doughnut Project, a famous West Village doughnut shop; Wölffer Estate Vine yard in Sagaponack in Eastern Suffolk; and The Subtle Tea Company based in

Ronkonkoma.

The Apple Crumb Pie Sour Ale is made with the Jericho Cider Mill’s apple cider.

“All the apple flavor comes entirely from Jericho Cider Mill’s cider,” Poole said. “There was no additional flavoring as far as the apples go.”

The test run ultimately went incredibly, Ketsoglou said. And the final results is what tasted just like an apple crumb pie.

“About two months ago, we squeezed the cider for them,” Ketsoglou said. “We shipped it over in totes to their facility in Patchogue, where they made the Apple Crumb Pie Sour. They canned it and did the co-branding on the can itself. And it’s been selling out of stores ever since.”

At both Jericho Cider Mill and Blue Point Brewery, the

Apple Crumb Pie Sour has been flying off the shelves.

“They come in a fourpack,” Ketsoglou said. “Peo ple can’t keep it on the shelf... I never thought that it was going to blow up as much as it did, but it’s definitely one of the more popular drinks, I think.”

Poole agreed that the beer is “flying,” so much so that Blue Point Brewery will be making another surprise batch because of the popular demand.

“People are saying that it’s their favorite beer we’ve ever made,” Poole said. “The Jericho Cider Mill has been amazing to work with. Something we try to do is make sure our collaborations are truly collaborative. They’ve made it so easy to

make it happen. They’ve been wonderful.”

About the Jericho Cider Mill

This fall, the Jericho Cider Mill will have new apples to browse.

“We only use New York State apples,” Ketsoglou said. “Which sets up apart. Right now we have 12 different types of apples. And in two weeks we’re probably going to go up to 24.”

As previously reported by the Syosset Jericho Tribune:

The original Jericho Cider Mill was located on Route 106 about half a mile north of Jericho Turnpike. George Doughty, was a Florida contractor whose grandfather and father owned the mill.

At the turn of the century, it was bought by George Doughty’s grandson, Benjamin Doughty. The mill’s big moneymaker for many decades was an alcoholic product called champagne cider. Unfortunately, the coming of prohibition in 1919 closed down the old cider mill. After the closing of the mill, another Jericho farmer, John Hicks, opened the cider mill about 1,000 feet far ther south along Route 106.

The cider mill gets its apples from the Hudson Valley, one of the major apple producing areas in the country. The apples that are pressed for cider are washed and loaded into the Willmes press. They are grounded and pressed, and the cider is then pumped into tanks. After settling and chilling, the cider is filled into jugs, which are refrigerated until sold.

The Jericho Cider Mill, 202-years-old, is located on Jericho Oyster Bay Road in Muttontown.

Family Fun At Mill Neck Manor’s Annual Apple Festival

Long Island Tradition Returns To The Mill Neck Manor

In 1951, The Mill Neck Manor launched its first AppleFest, a family-friendly fall festival with arts, crafts, sweets, pies and –of course – plenty of New York-grown apples. Since that first year, Mill Neck’s AppleFest has become a Long Island tradition, attracting tens of thousands of attendees over the Columbus Day weekend.

While the past two years have been a scaled back festival due to COVID-19 restrictions, this year’s Apple Festival was bigger and better than ever. Robert Benson and his family have been attending Apple Festival since 1971 when he was just five years old. “It’s one of my most cherished family traditions.”

The 2022 Apple Festival brought the best of the fall season to Long Island, showcasing an assortment of apple varieties, Karl Ehmer Specialty Meats, grilled bratwurst, roasted corn, charcuterie tutorials, cotton candy, cheeses, plenty of mouth-watering baked goods, jellies, fudge and more. In addi-

The children at the event certainly enjoyed the bouncy houses.

Apples weren’t the only produce available for the picking. A pumpkin patch was on site so that families could bring home their soon-to-be jack-o’-lantern.

tion,there were games for kids, live music, local craft vendors, free healthcare screenings, and storytelling… and don’t forget about the pie-eating contest.

This year also featured the first ever Mill Neck Manor craft beer, “Mission-True Pumpkin Brew”, created by the Oyster Bay Brewing Company with sign language on its label. Fall weather, pumpkins, apple pie, bratwurst and craft beer—what could be a better way of celebrating October.

All of Apple Festival proceeds support renovations for a Deaf friendly and ADA-friendly space for Deaf adults with Developmental Disabilities in the Day Habilitation program.

Proceeds also support Mill Neck Manor’s School for the Deaf school supplies for the teachers and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) program.

It was a fun event for all.

The Right’s Revenge: A Populist Revolt

Review of: Partisans: The Conservative Revolutionaries Who Remade American Politics In The 1990s, by Nicole Hemmer

JOSEPH SCOTCHIE

Are conservatives, who labor in liberal Western society, destined to lose? Did the populist uprisings of the 1990s lay the groundwork for Donald Trump’s victory in 2016? Does America First have a future in a post-Trump Republican Party? Nicole Hemmer’s history is another warning to liberals: Don’t count out the populist right.

The 1990s-style populism was a reaction to the failed presidency of George H.W. Bush. It was also a reaction to the frustrations of Ronald Reagan’s two terms. Reagan was plenty popular, but the former New Dealer was no populist, supporting free trade, mass immigration and democracy promotion around the world. Added to that was real discontent brewing in the heartland: Decades of stagnant wages, wars without victory, (or end), the crime wave, the attack on traditional values and American history, a lost border and with it, maybe a lost nation. Hemmer quotes Pat Buchanan’s 1992 presidential announcement speech, including lines that get to the heart of the matter.

We Republicans can no longer say it is all the liberals’ fault. It was not some liberal Democrat who declared, “Read my lips! No new taxes!,” then broke his word… It was not Edward Kennedy who railed against a quota bill, then embraced its twin. It was not Congress alone who set off on the greatest social spending spree in 60 years…No, that was done by men in whom we placed…our trust, and who then turned their backs, and walked away from us.

The book focuses on three key figures who fueled the populist drive: Buchanan, Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich. There are other subjects, namely Helen Chenoweth, a far-right congresswoman from Idaho whose uncompromising style set the stage for such firebrands as Representative Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R—GA) and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R—CO).

Hemmer focuses mostly on populism as an electronic media phenomenon. One chapter discusses three non-fiction books

that made a splash: Charles Murray’s The Bell Curve , Dinesh D’Souza’s The End of Racism and Peter Brimelow’s Alien Nation

The author cannot be objective. None were sensationalist. The Bell Curve , other than a controversial chapter on black and Hispanic I.Q. scores is conventional. Murray’s greatest fear is that college-educated whites might join the working-class whites in a pitchfork rebellion against liberalism. D’Souza’s tome criticized alleged racism both from the left and the right. Brimelow’s polemic made the moral case against mass immigration. When the 1965 immigration bill was enacted, Americans were told by lawmakers that no changes to the nation’s population makeup was forthcoming. They lied—and got away with it.

The populist revolt was much more than a talk show rebellion. It had deep intellectual roots, namely the achievement of such libertarians as Murray Rothbard, traditionalists M.E. Bradford and Russell Kirk, the America First opposition to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s war plans and the popular presidencies of Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge.

It also had its genesis in small-circulation journals of opinion, including the October 1989 number of Chronicles calling for restrictions on legal immigration and the December 1991 number of that same publication resurrecting the original proponents of America First.

Limbaugh was influenced by Buchanan, but much more so by William F. Buckley, Jr.’s National Review . In 1992, the latter publication took its own anti-immigration position only to tone it down later in the decade.

Hemmer focuses on the unserious aspects of the movement: FOX News (Tucker Carlson being an exception), talk radio and conspiracy theorists. Fred Barnes was correct in maintaining that the media stars knew little about the literature of the postwar conservative movement. This book follows suit: There

is also no mention of such antiwar stalwarts as Joseph Sobran, Thomas Fleming, Lew Rockwell and Bill Kauffman. There is but one reference to Ron Paul and only three to Samuel T. Francis, a figure as important as Buchanan. The world of Limbaugh and his imitators was loud, but not always articulate.

Partisans is similar to Matthew Continetti’s recent history, The Right . Continetti’s effort is much more scholarly. He shares Hemmer’s distaste for modern-day populism. Continetti is, however, familiar with its intellectual antecedents. Unlike Hemmer, Continetti acknowledges that Trump Country has legitimate concerns.

The 1990s were a time of inward reflection. The Cold War was over, the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack unimaginable. During that decade, a similar rightwing populism took root in Europe. The key difference is that the working-class now had political parties that they could rally around: The National Front in France, The Northern League in Italy, the Swiss People’s Party, Norway’s Progress Party, Finland’s True Finns, Sweden’s Sweden Democrats, Austria’s Freedom Party, all the way to Hungary’s Viktor Orban’s Fidesz party.

There are no such parties in the United States (or Great Britain, Canada and Germany). Populists there are savaged into extinction in the liberal-conservative media.

They’ve also made their mistakes. The year 1992 was decisive. The populist decade began on Dec. 15, 1991, when Buchanan announced his challenge to George H.W. Bush. Buchanan’s strong showing in the New Hampshire primary inspired H. Ross Perot to mount his third-party bid. Buchanan, soon out of the race, had nice things to say about Perot’s meteoric rise. Limbaugh also praised the man. The Bush people got wind of this and invited Limbaugh to the White House for a night in the Lincoln bedroom. President Bush even

carried the man’s bags. (Did Rush give the president a tip?) Limbaugh was star struck. He called his parents in Missouri to tell them the news. He also, from that moment on, became a loyal Republican, even though late in his career, Limbaugh broke with conservatives in supporting Donald Trump.

As did Buchanan. After the 1992 election, several of Buchanan’s allies, including Francis, Fleming and Bradford urged him to give up on the GOP and to announce a third party run for 1996, heading Perot off at the pass. Buchanan declined. For 1996, he had the support of Nackey Loeb and her powerful Manchester (N.H.) Union Leader . Buchanan did win the 1996 New Hampshire primary. His campaign, however, wasn’t strong enough to go the distance.

Was a third party ever possible? It would take billions of dollars and thousands of articulate candidates running on all levels. And so, a dead end.

The populist rebellion had much to say about America’s economic and cultural decline. They just didn’t have a political party to take their case to the voters.

‘‘The conservative is the man who knows that he must lose.’’

Benefit For Children’s Center At Family Court

Family court hearings are often contentious and they are certainly no place for young ears. Luckily, with the Children’s Center at Nassau County Family Court, parents and guardians have a safe place to bring children from infants to 12-year-olds while they are conducting court business.

North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center, which runs this important program, is holding a fundraiser to support the Children’s Center at Nassau County Court on Thursday, Oct. 27. The event will be held at Tesoro’s Ristorante, 967 Old Country Rd., Westbury, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., and will feature cocktails, music and a buffet dinner.

“The Children’s Center at Nassau County Family Court provides a valuable service because it allows children to be insulated from the stress involved in the horror of family court litigation,” fundraiser co-chair John M. Zenir. Esq said. “Just imagine a six-year-old sitting in a public waiting room outside of a courtroom not knowing what is happening. What fear and dread that child must feel. Instead, he or she can go to the Children’s Center and play with toys, read a book and have a snack while being attended to by qualified professionals.”

According to co-chair Allison Cacace, children can be traumatized if they hear their loved ones arguing in court. “The Children’s Center at Nassau County Family Court provides a safe, nurturing environ ment for children while their parents or

other caretakers sort out their legal affairs,” Tobay Day School Director/Casino One Limousines owner Cacace said. “It is ex tremely important that we raise awareness and funds for this invaluable service that makes a positive impact on children and is also greatly beneficial to those who can’t afford to pay for childcare during court sessions.”

“The mission of the Women’s Bar includes promoting the fair and equal administration of justice,” said Cherice P. Vanderhall Wilson, President of the Nassau County Women’s Bar Association, which is co-hosting the benefit. “The Children’s Center eliminates childcare as a barrier to justice and provides a resource for those who need it while they seek assistance from one the county’s most important courts.”

Dr. Nellie Taylor-Walthrust, Director of the Guidance Center’s Leeds Place, said, “The Children’s Center not only provides childcare, but it’s also an early learning environment, and each child leaves with a book to take home. We are so grateful to John, Allison and the Nassau County Women’s Bar Association for their dedication and support. We hope that all who care about children will join us on Oct. 27.”

IS IT THE WRONG MESSAGE?

Before accepting one man’s view of what they perceived to be as a “police power flag” flying from the rear of a fire truck, let’s look into the author and review what triggers this individual’s political and personal biases into action and letter writing.

First, the actual flag is accu rately called the thin blue line, yet retired teacher Frisch prefers to refer to it as “the police power flag.” Why would anyone claim that an innocuous flag like that actually be an intolerant reaction to “Black Lives Matter?” Of course the learned open-minded retired educator has concluded that “most people would agree” with his point of view. I totally disagree. He also feels that the police don’t need a special flag and that the thin blue line flag indicates that the police, (although it was flying off the rear of a fire truck), by flying this flag, indicates that the American flag isn’t good enough for them.

Clearly the “learned” retired educator has issues with alternative views and truths to his own biases and animosities towards the police by pontificating about

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

no one being above the law and that such symbols or flags like the thin blue line should not be shown on police cars, fire trucks or public buildings. What if that same flag had a red line across it supporting fire fighters instead of blue? Would that also be a counter BLM symbol to Frisch?

Clearly retired teacher Frisch has issues set off by symbols he person ally perceived as un-American. The original flag that set Frisch off was on a fire truck in apparent support for the police. People, all people, have a right to express their views, and one man’s distorted vision of an American flag with a blue line across it as being a divisive message is very telling. How one equates the thin blue line flag to the BLM movement is a giant leap of one man’s political tilt against freedom of expression and the police. I for one will not be told what to believe and what to support by the likes of Frisch and his distorted biased views.

Consider the writer’s perspec tive on views like this flag that upsets him so much to protest in writing. This very same author

was compelled to inform Delta Airlines, headquartered in Atlanta, that he will no longer fly Delta due to his negative opinion of Georgia’s voting laws. Yeah, that should bring Delta to its knees Frisch.

I’m positive Delta had absolutely nothing to do with its State’s election laws. Yet this “educated” man, who doesn’t live in Georgia, nor qualified to legally vote there, believes his views are sacrosanct and the righteous ones above anyone else’s.

So retired educator Frisch, if flags offend you don’t fly them or look at them. Do gay pride

COLUMNS

flags offend you? They fly in the halls of Congress in DC. Any feelings about those un-American symbolic flags? Should they be removed too?

It’s a flag. Nothing more, unless you clearly have issues that have ab solutely nothing to do with the flag. I think your views and opinions are pretty clear and you don’t speak for the majority you claim are behind you. For the record. I’ve never ever heard the thin blue line flag referred to as a “police power flag” until you imagined it to be such a thing. Which it clearly is NOT.

Is The MTA Serious About Funding LIRR Port Jefferson Branch Electrification?

The MTA announced that the next 20-Year Capital Needs Plan Assessment (2025-44) will be com pleted by October 1, 2023. They said “Engaging with the public and understanding the needs of our riders is critical to plan for the future of the transit system.” What ever happened to the MTA 2020-40 20-Year Capital Needs Plan? The New York State Legislature in 2019 directed the MTA to release this document prior to adoption of the $51 billion 2020-24 Five-Year Capital Plan.

They are reviewing more than 20 system expansion and enhance ment projects including the $3.8 billion LIRR Port Jefferson branch that the MTA is considering to include in the next 20-Year Plan. They have not been selected or funded but will be comparatively evaluated for consideration on a level-playing field for future FiveYear Capital Programs.

Too many of the competing projects also cost billions. They include (1) New York City Transit Manhattan Hells Kitchen 10th Avenue station on the #7 Flushing Line—$1 billion; (2)

Extension of the Brooklyn New Lots Ave #3 line—billions; (3) Brooklyn/Queens Interborough Express—MTA Chairman Janno Lieber promised it would come in under $10 billion; (4) Reactivation of the LIRR Queens Lower Montauk Branch—$2.1 billion; (5) Reactivation of the LIRR Queens Rockaway Beach Branch —$8 billion; (6) Second Avenue Subway Phase 2 to 125th Street—$6.9 billion; (7) Staten Island West Shore BRT—$1.5 billion; (8) Brooklyn Utica Avenue transit improvements—$5 to $10

billion depending upon length of the subway extension and number of stations and (9) Brooklyn W sub way line Red Hook extension—$2.9 billion; and (10) Metro North Stewart Airport Access—billions.

The current growing inflation, potential recession, ongoing supply chain issues, increasing fuel prices, rising material costs and labor shortages will only result in cost estimates going up over coming years, prior to award of any construction contracts for these potential projects

Electrification of the Port Jefferson branch has been advocat ed since the 1960’s by generations of elected officials with no success. In 1970, electrification was extend ed from Mineola to Huntington. In the 1980’s, discussions took place between the MTA, LIRR, Suffolk County and many elected officials over which branch should be electrified first. The Ronkonkoma branch was selected over the Port Jefferson branch.

Without electrification east of Huntington, Port Jefferson branch riders will not have a one-seat ride to Grand Central Madison

via the $11.2 billion East Side Access project. There is insufficient height clearance to accommodate duel mode locomotives in the 63rd Street tunnel needed for access to Grand Central Madison. Thousands of daily LIRR riders from diesel territory will still have to change at Jamaica for travel to Grand Central Madison or Atlantic Avenue Brooklyn.

Future opportunity for funding to progress this project beyond a planning study could come under upcoming MTA Five Year Capital Programs. Governor Kathy Hochul did not include this project in her January State of the State Speech or April $220 billion budget. One source of funding could be the Federal Transit Administration under the national competitive discretionary Capital Investments Grant program. A Full Funding Grant Agreement from FTA would have to be matched by a similar amount of local sources. This program funded MTA’s $11.2 billion LIRR East Side Access and New York City Transit $4.5 billion Second Avenue Subway Phase 2.

New York Finally Has Something To Cheer About

BY JERRY KREMER

There are many cities around the country that have sports teams, but there is no area in the nation with as many teams as New York City. We have baseball, basketball, hockey, football, lacrosse and soccer. All of them have their fans who are emotionally attached to them and can be fanatic at times. Luckily for us team worshipers, the year 2022, has brought us the riches of having two baseball teams that are national contenders.

Even though they have suffered some recent setbacks, the New York Mets are finally a playoff team. After years of struggle, the Mets were fortunate to get a new owner who has poured millions of dollars into the hiring of first-rate players. Regrettably, the previous owners, saddled with money losses due to the Madoff scandal, couldn’t afford to make the team competitive and they finally cashed in by selling the team to Wall Street billionaire Steve Cohen.

Across the bridge in the Bronx, the New York Yankees have enjoyed a strong season with the addition of a number of star

INSIDE POLITICS

players who have helped the team win its first division title in over five years. The key to the Yankee’s success has been the brilliant performance by outfielder Aaron Judge. There is no team in Major League Baseball that can boast of having a player who hit a record breaking 62 homeruns and competed for other titles as well.

The emergence of the Mets and the Yankees comes at a time when New York City is grappling with numerous problems from crime to the overflow of

immigrants, courtesy of Texas Governor Abbott. Having two teams competing in the baseball playoffs has injected an air of excitement that New York has not felt in years. Every local fan likes to dream about a “subway series” and hopefully the two teams will eventually get to that point.

The Giants and Jets have followed their usual course of playing. While the Giants have started their season with a few wins, over the years they have fallen apart by mid-season. There is a glimmer of hope that they will keep winning and at least make the playoffs, which will make their fans delirious. The Jets just might be turning the corner with a couple of improbable come-from-behind wins. Their dedicated fans contin ue to be hopeful, so hopefully they won’t be having to go down that “Same Old Jets’ Path. If that comes to be the case, then some of the executives should be fired because you can’t fire a team.

But for now, we owe a large “thank you” to the owners of both the Mets and the Yankees. New Yorkers needed a shot of excitement and the two teams have

given us the October surprise that we have been hoping for. What will happen in the weeks ahead is out of our hands, but our friends and neighbors have a pleasant distraction from the burdens of dealing with the stresses of city and suburban living.

PENNER from page 6A

Port Jefferson electrification was not included within President Biden’s FY23 budget requests $21.1 billion for transit and $17.9 billion for rail. It is not included in the FTA FY 2023 Capital Investment Grants New Starts or Core Capacity Program Funding Recommendations.

The estimated cost today is $3.6 billion and will increase over time. This is necessary to pay for planning, design and engineering, environmental review, land acqui sition for construction of power sub stations, expansion of com muter parking, potential relocation and/or consolidation of existing stations, new stations and plat forms, new electric Multiple Unit car storage yard, new track, third rail and signals.

could require a decade or more. Based upon my past experiences on other FTA MTA LIRR projects, electrification of the Port Jefferson branch may not happen until 2040.

Failure to include Port Jefferson branch electrification in the upcoming MTA 20-Year Capital Needs Plan means end of the line for this project for decades more to come.

The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze Dazzles At Old Bethpage Village

Master carver shares inspiration and secrets

CHRISTY HINKO chinko@antonmediagroup.com

Asmall team of local artists, led by Creative Director Michael Natiello, have hand-carved more than 7,000 jack o’lanterns for this year’s Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze at Old Bethpage Village Restoration, creating elaborate pumpkin sculptures for the returning walk-through experience on the grounds of the 19th-century village.

We recently had a chance to speak with Carol Hough, one of the local carvers from Massapequa, who shared some cool ideas and insights to this year’s event.

QWhy do you carve pumpkins?

A I grew up in a home where not only did we do a lot of arts and crafts, but Halloween was a big holiday—big decorations, homemade costumes, lots of home baked goodies and of course carving pumpkins. When I was approached about carving pumpkins as a paid job, I jumped at the chance. I get to be creative and have fun while working outdoors with an amazing group of talented people. What could be better than that?

QIs your skill limited to pumpkins or so you carve other materials?

A I have carved wood, as well as sculpted clay and even marble. And in summertime the occasional watermelon works as well as a pumpkin.

QWhat’s your favorite carving at this year’s exhibit?

A I love carving the prize winners, the big 100-plus pound pumpkins. This year we have two next to the Emoji panel display, and the kids really think they are funny. And although I did not create them, I love the sea creature section. It is just stunning.

QHow do you get your inspiration?

AThe children that come to the show are a huge inspiration. I like to watch their reactions, and then add more of what they enjoy.

QHow did you learn the techniques needed to achieve incredible finished result?

AA lot of what I learned while sculpting clay or carving wood can be applied to the pumpkins. It took a while to learn how to create 3D effects using light. The fully cut areas will be pure light, the etched kind of areas will change in tone depending on how deep you go. And you learn to improvise and not worry about being perfect.

Ticket and date information

The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze has limited capacity and all admissions are by advance purchase timed ticket or FLEX anytime ticket. No tickets are sold on site.

Remaining Long Island dates are Oct. 19 through 23; 26 through 31 and Nov. 4 through 6

Online tickets start at $32 for adults and $24 for children 3-17 and are free for children 2 and under.

All tickets must be purchased online. The event is held rain or shine. Proceeds support Historic Hudson Valley, the Tarrytown-based private, nonprofit educational organization, and Nassau County’s Old Bethpage Village Restoration.

The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze Shop offers a selection Blaze-specific merchandise including T-shirts and hats.

Old Bethpage Village Restoration is located at 1303 Round Swamp Rd. in Old Bethage.

Visit www.pumpkinblaze.org for more information.

QHow do you work around a carving error?

AThat happens a lot, and you just have to add or subtract from your design to fit it in somehow. And usually, even though I know where the error is, the person looking at it won’t be able to see it.

QWhat tools do you use to create?

AThe two main tools for live pumpkins are sheetrock knives for carving and ice cream scoops for cleaning/scraping out the seeds and pumpkin guts. For more detailed live pumpkins, as well as the pumpkins we use for large displays, we use a lot of different sized carving knives like you would find in the carving kits at the store as well as sculpting tools, like loop and ribbon tools, Exacto knives and a Dremel.

Hough has been the production coordinator and lead carver since 2020. She is an artist who focuses on painting, photography and sculpting. Hough is also a dedicated volunteer for Splashes of Hope, a nonprofit organization of mural artists dedicated to transforming healthcare environments. Through Splashes for Hope, Hough has worked on multiple projects including ceiling tiles for local hospitals that were used in children’s and maternity departments under the project name “From Clinical to Colorful.”

Tribute to the Island

Steve Garvey On CBD, Sports, And That New York Energy

JANET BURNS

In the years since baseball icon Steve Garvey was named National League MVP back in 1974, there have been many changes in Major League Baseball, including adjustments to league positions on marijuana, a.k.a. cannabis. Specifically, MLB has removed cannabis from the league’s list of banned substances, and most recently, allows teams to accept cannabidiol (CBD) sponsorships.

During his MLB career, Garvey set a National League record by playing in 1207 consecutive games, and became a 10-time All-Star and World Series Champion in 1981. Years later, after having a shoulder injury, he helped formulate LEVEL SELECT CBD, and found that using CBD was the only way to get restful sleep.

As co-founder of Kadenwood, a vertically integrated firm handling hemp-derived CBD products, Garvey is part of a growing number of retired athletes at the forefront of the movement for and a strong advocate for CBD’s benefits to athletes.

Garvey checked in with Anton Media Group this fall about the work he’s been doing lately, as well as the experiences that led him to step up to the plate for CBD.

ANTON MEDIA GROUP: What are some of the biggest wellness or health challenges that you see in MLB, or major-league sports generally, at this time?

STEVE GARVEY: Athletes are always concerned with body pain from overuse and pushing their limits, in addition to mental health. The great thing is, CBD has the ability to address both those issues from the core and even prevent them all together. CBD is still being studied from a medical perspective, but has shown promise and potential to provide physical and mental health benefits and help regulate the endocannabinoid system, to allow for optimal performance.

AMG: What are some of the biggest challenges, and biggest strengths, that you see in the field of cannabinoid medicine at this time? Biggest strengths?

SG: The biggest strengths definitely stem from the potential benefits it has in treating

vast amounts of ailments. The biggest challenges are in the regulation we face in developing, manufacturing, cultivating, and testing cannabis in order to bring these possible treatments to the public.

AMG: Can you share a memory of a time, during your playing career or otherwise, when you wish you’d had access to CBD?

SG: Baseball is a grueling sport, especially on the joints. It’s also one of the longest running sports seasons, with more than 100 games and nine months of play action, including preseason. CBD was completely prohibited and options were not available during my entire career playing the game. I wish I had access to it every game I played. It would have been much more healthy and less harmful for my body than the pain relieving methods we accessed at that time. For example, imagine having to constantly throw a ball at very high speeds over and over again. The overuse of the elbow joint can lead to major [issues] and relief was always needed even during games.

AMG: What do you want people who are not familiar with cannabinoids, or with CBD’s increasing allowance and role in pro sports, to know about cannabinoid medicine?

SG: That it is not what they likely assume it is. No one is abusing substances or doing anything illegal or damaging to their bodies in ways illicit drugs do. CBD is not intoxicating and has tremendous potential for widespread use in mainstream medicine. We just need to spread awareness around its safety and efficacy.

AMG: Any shout-outs for our region, from your memories of playing here?

SG: The fans. I always loved playing in New York and couldn’t wait for those games. The crowds who attend are unlike any other in the country. There’s just an electricity in the air that you can’t deny and it fueled my performance. I don’t have to tell you that New York brings the energy, you know that, but... they really do.

Greetings From The Once And Future Nirvana (Great Neck, New York)

BY TRAV S.D. specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

The following was penned by the author shortly after moving to Great Neck, during the honeymoon period when its fascinating history first captured his heart. We share it in hopes that more people will become aware of the area’s glamorous past.

Great Neck is the name of both a geographic region (a peninsula in the town of North Hempstead) and a village in that region. Its history is very much tied up with the New York City borough of Queens, which is right next door. Prior to the incorporation of New York City in 1898, the three towns that make up what is now Nassau County (Hempstead, North Hempstead, Oyster Bay) were also part of Queens County. These three outlying towns opted not to become part of the city, so they seceded from the county and formed the new one, Nassau (named, like the one in the Bahamas, after a Dutch aristocrat, as this territory was part of

New Netherland before it became New York). The towns are full of villages and hamlets that people identify with much more closely than the overall towns. By the way, Brooklyn and Queens were both originally constituted of the same kind of villages and hamlets; they simply grew and became urbanized so that now the former villages and hamlets are thought of as neighborhoods within the borough. Places like Flatbush and Greenpoint and Jamaica etc. were all originally villages; they just got swallowed up by New York City.

North Hempstead split with Hempstead

Chrysler’s shack, in the Great Neck neighborhood of King’s Point.

Traci Conway Clinton is

during the Revolutionary War. North Hempstead was full of Patriots sympa thetic to the Revolution; Hempstead was full of Loyalists sympathetic to the British.

In the 19th century, the region, which was all mostly farmland, became more accessible via railway, steamboats, and better roads. In the Gilded Age, the super-wealthy began to build seaside mansions in what became known as the “Gold Coast”, which embraced Great Neck and towns farther east. Tycoons like Walter Chrysler and William Kissam Vanderbilt II built estates here.

By the 1920s there were scores of mansions in Great Neck. F. Scott Fitzgerald immortalized it as “West Egg” in his 1925 novel The Great Gatbsy. By the Jazz Age, the region had become fashionable with celebrities as well. It is an interesting period—it’s when many of these people were big Broadway stars, but just before they moved to Hollywood to become movie stars. This little show biz enclave included the Marx Bros (in separate houses), Ed Wynn, Fanny Brice, W.C. Fields, Eddie Cantor, Raymond Hitchcock, Marilyn Miller, Olive Thomas, Lillian Russell, Olga Petrova, Lew Fields, Paul and Grace Hartman, George M. Cohan, as well as his business partner Sam Harris (separate houses), Gene Buck, Oscar Hammerstein II, Eugene O’Neill, Ring Lardner, Herbert Bayard Swope, P.G. Wodehouse, Guy Bolton, Leslie Howard, Basil Rathbone, Maurice Chevalier, Paulette Goddard, Fredric March, Charles King, Richard Barthelmess, Norma Talmadge and Joe Schenck, Chic Young (he created the comic strip Blondie here in 1930), Sid Caesar, Alan King, Max Weber, Will Durant, Morton Gould, Herman Wouk, and many others.

The Depression ended the building of super-mansions, and the theatre crowd moved out to Hollywood with the advent of talkies. Great Neck became more suburban. Many of the big estates were taken down and carved up into smaller parcels for middle class homes. (As an example, my wife and I live in her fami ly’s house, a Mock Tudor home that was built in the 1920s in a development that went up on the former estate of million aire William Gould Brokaw called—wait for it—“Nirvana”.)

The postwar period saw a population boom as tons of people from the city, many of them the children and grand children of Jewish immigrants (and other immigrant groups) who’d prospered and moved to the suburbs. This gives the town an extremely unique feel, a lot like a small town, but one that is culturally connected to New York City, right next door. Famous people who grew up here in later years include Francis Ford Coppola and his sister Talia Shire, George Segal, Andy Kaufman, illustrator

Drew Friedman, Broadway producer Stewart Lane, and, on the more notorious side, the family depicted in the 2003 documentary Capturing the Friedmans Also, Gwyneth Paltrow’s father and Lena Dunham’s mother! Bruno, the psychotic from Strangers on a Train is from Great Neck!

You see why I’m inspired then! The surroundings and history reverberate with vibrations that are apt to keep me on my game. In our modest way, we’ll be looking to uphold the tradition. After all, this is the former Nirvana. And, God Willing, it will be the future one as well!

About The Artist

Susanne Corbelletta is a New York native and classically trained artist. She attended The Stevenson Academy of Traditional Painting in Sea Cliff, founded by Harold Stevenson, protégé and friend of Norman Rockwell. Inspired by impressionism and classical realism, she paints seeking to capture mood and atmosphere using changes in light and broken color, hoping to invoke a sense of tranquility for the viewer. Corbelletta draws inspiration from, mainly, Long Island scenery and is always captivated when watching light cast shadows as it moves over a landscape and when seeing the reflected light bounce off its surroundings. She paints en plein air, whenever possible and then completes the canvas at her studio. Corbelletta also enjoys painting portraits, the figure and still life, where she can control the lighting and composition.

Her award-winning paintings are privately collected and widely exhibited. Her work has been shown at The National Gallery, the Salmagundi Art Club, Federal Hall National Museum in NYC and galleries and museums nationally. Corbelletta is most proud to be an artist for the United States Coast Guard, where she has joined the ranks of artists past, to assist in documenting the history of the Coast Guard through paintings.

As a board member of The Art Guild, Corbelletta has been exposed to various artists, mediums and styles. It has given her a broader perspective of art in the community. Corbelletta is happy to be part of an organization that provides classes and workshops for adults and children, both for beginners and more advanced artists who want to broaden their skills.

Corbelletta recently completed a solo exhibit on display at Sea Cliff Village Library through the end of June this past summer. This exhibition included 15 of her paintings.

“Beyond Gatsby” Wine Auction And Dinner

The North Shore Land Alliance held its 19th annual Wine Auction and Dinner on Saturday, Oct. 1, at the beautiful Rynwood Estate in Old Brookville.

More than 400 guests were in attendance, many of whom dressed as “Gatsby” and “Daisy” to celebrate the Land Alliance’s “Nod to the Past that Framed Our Landscapes of Today.”

Guests entered the party through the main gates of Rynwood and were immediately greeted by the warmth and beauty of the estate.

Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres were served throughout the house, and guests were invited to explore the main floor of the 60-room Elizabethan manor. Its vaulted ceilings, English oak paneling, long corridors, stained glass medallions, tiled fireplaces and tapestries recall an opulent age of Long Island’s Gold Coast. They then headed out to the beautiful tent to enjoy a delicious dinner catered by Sterling Affair and peruse the silent auction offerings.

Perfectly in-season dahlias, large peacock feathers, twinkling lights, and the incredible period fashions our guests wore brought the evening theme to life. Live and silent auction items included a trip to Greece and Turkey, fine wines and a private sailboat tour of “East and West Egg.” The party continued into the late evening, thanks to fun hits played by the DJ.

This year’s event was chaired by Allison Aston, Kate Doerge, Jenna Bush Hager, Kelly Kasouf, Amory McAndrew and Claudia Overstrom. The auction was expertly curated by Chairs Kelly Gaudreau, Jennifer Grgas, Paul J. Mateyunas and Amy Pollaci.

Introducing: Himbrimi Gin

Handpicked Icelandic wildflowers, geothermal water, and the riverbanks of the Westfjords are just three of the unique elements that go into the creation of Himbrimi Old Tom Gin and Winterbird London Dry Gin (40 percent ABV; 700ml; $39.99 SRP), which today make their U.S. debut. Originally handmade in small batches by Icelandic artist and entrepreneur Óskar Ericsson as a sipping companion for his flyfishing trips along the eastern coastline of the Westfjords, a region known as Standir, Himbrimi has since achieved the World Gin Award, amongst other acclaim, and inspired bartenders to create Icelandic versions of classic gin cocktails.

“Himbrimi Old Tom Gin is an intentionally unusual gin made in the style of the classic Old Tom gin that was first produced in the pre-Prohibition era,” says Ericsson. “Himbrimi Gin is floral yet earthy, sweet but complex, and is truly an Old World-style gin—almost a hybrid between a gin and a whisky, with a resemblance to the old Dutch Korenwyn-jenever.”

HIMBRIMI OLD TOM GIN

40% ABV; 700ml; $69.99 SRP

Ingredients:

• Pure mineral-free Icelandic spring water, with an unusual high PH

• Organic juniper berries, crushed to release oils and aroma

• Wild Angelica flowers, handpicked along the banks of lakes and rivers

• Wild Arctic thyme—the signature flavor of Himbrimi Gin and one of Iceland’s favorite herbs known for its lavender-like, floral character

• Organic honey to provide sweetness

Production:

• Based on early 18th century gin recipes, Himbrimi Old Tom Gin is infused, filtered, sweetened, and left in its raw state, instead of being re-distilled, which isn’t necessary thanks to the premium quality of fresh Icelandic spring water.

• The process starts with grain spirit that is infused with natural handpicked botanicals for 14 days, after which it is filtered multiple times, resulting in a rustic and complex gin with a red amber color and a smooth, long finish.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Honey, lavender, and earthy, like the Icelandic highlands after a spell of rain

• Palate: Juniper to the fore, followed by very bright floral notes. Lavender-like arctic thyme offers a dominant flavor that is complemented by the sweet honey and pungent angelica flowers resulting in a smooth, bittersweet, soothing result

• Finish: Extremely long, smooth aftertaste with floral notes that linger on the tongue

Fall Furniture Trends

BY KRISTINA CODI specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Chilly weather is upon us, but here are a few tips to spice up your space during the fall season. This week, I wanted to share the top fall trends as we enter autumn.

WARM EARTHY TONES

Warm layering shades of brown are back. Design your space with warm, earthy tones like mushroom, sand, muted greens, and similar neutrals. You can bring in these warm tones with new throw pillows, accessories, and ottomans.

NATURAL ELEMENTS

Natural elements like travertine, ter racotta, and porous stone are trending for the fall season. A beautiful mix of natural and sustainable materials can not only create a calming environment but add visual interest. One way to warm up your kitchen with natural

elements is to introduce wood shelving and/ or butcher block counters.

STATEMENT FLORALS

Replacing your summer greenery with statement florals like pampas, grass and dried florals can really transform a room to cozy and inviting. Fall flowers are known for their shades of reds and purples that pop nicely against earthy tones.

TEXTURES

Mixing different materials and finishes create textures. Textures are a great way to warm up a room through fiber area rugs, woven baskets, and rattan furniture.

Kristina Codi is an interior designer for Safavieh Home Furnishing’s Manhasset store. Visit www.safaviehhome.com to learn more.

Use statement florals.

Staged For Success

BY TRACI CONWAY CLINTON specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Here is a simple guide to help you through the process of staging and preparing your home to come to market with the goal of highlighting your home’s strengths, downplay its weaknesses, and appeal to the largest pool of prospective buyers. You have enjoyed your home over the years and are getting ready to prepare to list it. So let’s talk about some critical things to remember when getting your house in tip top shape before the property comes to market. A few simple and relatively inexpensive ideas is all it takes to have your home looking its best and attractive to buyers. You may even have some fun doing it.

1. THE FIRST IMPRESSION IS EVERYTHING

It’s so important to keep the outside of your home as inviting as the inside. Many buyers drive by the house for sale before they make an appointment to preview, so working on your home’s curbside appeal is a must. Make sure the front door gets a fresh coat of paint. If your house is a neutral hue, use the front door to add a pop of color and, if your house is not neutral, paint the door a complementary color. According to Zillow, the top three front door colors to potentially enhance the value of your home are black, slate

blue and olive green.

Ensure you have proper lighting outside and that all fixtures and bulbs are fully operational. Power wash any walkways or patios to give it a clean look. Keep the landscaping trimmed and neat.

Add a pair of urns or large planters by your front door. Even in the fall, a mix of mums, kale or cabbage, with some ornamental peppers which come in red, orange and yellow, creates a warm, fall hue. A fresh new doormat is a welcoming touch.

2. YOUR KITCHEN IS THE HEART OF YOUR HOME

Instead of going for a full-on remodel, consider what small changes you can make to update your kitchen. Painting cabinets a classic white, rather than replacing cabinets and swapping out hardware, can make a big difference. Clear the counters. A toaster and coffee maker are just about the only things to consider leaving out on the counters. Put everything else out of sight.

Organize inside the cabinets.

Potential buyers will look inside and if your kitchen cabinets are overstuffed, it gives the impression that there isn’t enough storage space. Organize a pantry, if you have one. The backsplash doesn’t have to be expensive and can bring a whole new updated look.

A bowl of green apples or lemons, fresh cut flowers, branches, or potted herbs will bring life and cheer to your kitchen.

3. DECLUTTER AND DEPERSONALIZE

It is absolutely essential to declutter your home when selling. Buyers need to feel the home is spacious, clean and clutter-free. Eyes tend to fixate on cluttered rooms such as garages, attics or basements, detracting from the potential the actual spaces offer. Buyers want to be able to picture themselves in your home, which is more difficult

to do if all they see are your personal items. Remove family photos, the children’s artwork, and any other personal items throughout. Organize all the closets neatly; disheveled, overflowing closets leave an impression of inadequate storage space. It simply feels better when touring a home that is clutter-free.

4. TRANQUIL BATHROOMS AND BEDROOMS

A spa like look in a bath is greatly desired in today’s home market and much easier to create then you think. It’s all about light, color, texture, and the right accessories. Perhaps you need to repaint the walls in a pale neutral color.

Decorate the bathroom with crisp white towels versus colored towels. Add a few simple accessories like a basket or tray with sea sponges, pretty soaps or sea salts, set by the bathtub or corner of the vanity. Hang a simple piece of art above the toilet or towel bar. Place a candle or diffuser on the counter.

The primary bedroom is the most

important bedroom for many buyers so try to create a feeling of openness, light, and calm. Cool blues, grays, and varying shades of white will work well for wall colors. Dress the bed in crisp white sheets and white duvet. Then add some layers of pillows, starting with European squares and some additional pillows. Add a throw to the bed to add color.

Most buyers want to see a bedroom as a peaceful retreat, so use simple matching nightstands with a lamp, a book and a candle. An area rug will add color, warmth, and style to your bedroom decor.

5. THE LIVING ROOM IS FOR LIVING

They are meant for entertaining, conversation and gathering. Edit the room to remove any heavy pieces of furniture which can make a room look small and cramped. Arrange seating around a highlighted focal point such as a fireplace or a great set of windows. Traffic flow is important in order to walk through with ease. Have proper lighting. Any built-in features like shelves and bookcases should be staged placing small groups of items on the shelves. Artwork is a good way to fill the space where family photos once were.

Remove any dated curtains or window treatments and you will be surprised by the amount of natural light coming in. A fresh coat of a neutral paint color can brighten up any room. Bring in some fresh greenery like a floor plant tucked in the corner. New throw pillows can give any couch an instant facelift.

How are your floors looking? Some simple maintenance on hardwood floors or refinishing can add a great deal of drama and appeal.

Remember, home staging is a marketing strategy, with a dash of psychology. It’s doing whatever is necessary to dress up your home so it sells quickly at the highest possible price.

Visualization is a key concept in home staging; if buyers can see themselves living there, they will develop a personal connection to the home and will feel good about investing in it.

Fashion Trends Follow Fashion Week

Eight style trends we will see this year

BY DAENA BORROWMAN specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

This year will be a huge statement year for jewelry. I think we will see the boldest jewelry trends we have seen on the catwalk in years. It’s going to be either super minimal or all out. Big chains and gold statements, oversized rings and pendants; you will see the pieces from the street away. Remember those necklaces you wore as a teenager with rope-like cord and a huge heart or flowers at the end? Inspired by our recent love for the ’90s and early 2000s, these chunky accessories will be everywhere this year.

Another huge trend we will see this year is the continuation of pearls. From over-the-top necklaces to simple earrings, I really think pearls are having their biggest resurgence yet. Pearlcore is the biggest jewelry trend of 2022. From taking a peek at some of the street photos from fashion month so far, we can see that

has never been truer.

Other accessories we could see through

the rest of

NEO-BOHO

Think fringe, patchwork, and crochet—but with a twist. With an emphasis on glamour yet still pulling through elements of the classic craft core, this year will bring a renaissance in the form of neo-boho. Cowboy boots and diamonds at the ready.

BYGONE CHIC

Give me nostalgia and flair; we don’t care about the era, as long as it’s bygone chic. This year we have seen 1950s glam including headscarves and polka dots make their way back, as well as ’60s minis and ’70s pussy bows. Whatever the era, we are here for it.

SEE-THROUGH

Flesh-flashing is in its prime. From see-through camis to sheer slips, the more playful, the better. We can expect to see the runway full of daring statements, with the likes of open weave knits leaving little to the imagination.

fashion month include a focus on costume jewelry. Sticking with the theme of more is less and bigger is better, we will see funkier designs, colors and styles, matching the current fashion garments on the runways.

I also feel we will see a style tribute to the sad passing of Queen Elizabeth II. The pieces could see a more regal theme, with pearls being one aspect. Tiaras, crowns, and accessories such as brooches could make an understated approach as a sign of respect.

PINK, PINK, PINK

From Elle Woods to Barbie, the inspo for pink has been unavoidable this year. Not one for the neutral look? This is your year. From pastel pink to neon, it is taking over our wardrobes (and catwalks), and, while a more daring option, it was made for 2022.

COLOR BURST

Think Crayola meets glam; the runways of fashion month will be brighter than you’ve ever witnessed. Color blocking, clashing and mixed mediums will be leaving us stunned. With more saturation than before, get your sunglasses at the ready for a rainbow of style.

SLIP ERA

50 SHADES OF WHITE

Keeping a blank slate for 2023, we are seeing white rip through the trends this year. From mini dresses to white tights and one-shoulder statements, the runway will be serving up bridal inspiration in every form.

The ’90s trend is bringing back the slip, and it’s slipping onto the runways, in many forms. Think high-glam with silks and spaghetti straps galore. Keeping the ’90s vibe alive, we will be adding some ’22 flare with the likes of sequin embellishment and pairing with oversized accessories.

Personal Service Remains Key To Success

BY CHRISTY HINKO chinko@antonmediagroup.com

Helms Brothers, established in 1934, originally began with Studebaker and Packard brands. In 1957, Studebaker was given distribution rights to Mercedes-Benz, one of the first on Long Island. Helms Brothers now has three dealership franchises, which include Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and Volkswagen.

Bayside Volkswagen is an award-winning dealership that was started in 1994 and is a split-facility with its service center in Great Neck.

The company’s newer addition, Volvo Cars of Queens, began in 2016. This past spring, Volvo moved to a newly constructed showroom, just steps away from Helms Brothers’ flagship location. A new service center is also opening in the near future.

The business continues its tradition of being family-owned, originally by the brothers, Charlie and Frank. In 1977, Doug Callahan and his father purchased the dealership, now

operating it along with his children, Kirstin and Sean. They have just celebrat ed 45 years in April.

“I grew up in the business,” Kirstin says. “I was always working there over the summer and I did the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) for successorship program.”

She took an extended maternity leave to raise her children into their college years.

“My dad has done an amazing job with this business,” she says. “We are so proud of him, and we have amazing employ ees, part of the Helms Brothers family, like Suzanne Cochran, the dealership’s Mercedes-Benz general manager, who has been with us for more than 40 years as

well as other managers who have been there 20 and 30 years.”

Not only the long-time, loyal employ ees, but many of their own sons, daugh ters, and nieces also work for Helms Brothers now.

“It is an amazing thing to see,” Kirstin said. “It is a true family business; it is what I love about it, like another home.”

Not only the staffing dynamics and chemistry, but the industry’s new features and products make working in

the business worthwhile.

“With all of the new electric vehicles coming out and all of the new technol ogies it is all so exciting,” Kirstin says. “All of our facilities have been upgraded to accommodate electric chargers as we continue to invest in new technology and training to ultimately ensure a smooth transition to an electric future.”

She admits that in the beginning not many people understood that the indus try would have to shift its sales mindset when electric cars came along.

“People would question, ‘they are just electric cars; why do we have to change the way we sell cars,” she says. “People want them; people want convenience and to use less gas.”

Trends and technology have changed the way nearly all businesses operate. Their ability to adapt and operate

seamlessly are some of the keys to their modern success. Conversely, with the constant change in the industry due to modern convenience, it is personal and familiar service that attracts new buyers and keeps long-time customers returning.

“People also want that family feel; it is important to our customers,” Kirstin says. “Try to get Amazon or any large corporation on the phone and get any thing done if you have a problem with a purchase.”

Customers still highly value conve nience, especially New Yorkers. “It still all comes down to the people part of service,” she says. “We care; we are an advocate for our clients.”

She said with all of the new innovation, that requires them to constantly be prepared for the unknowns and all of the

changes with new and unfamiliar things. “We make sure our technicians are all up to speed with the technology,” Kirstin says.

Helms Brothers employs approximately 250 local residents, and the business takes pride in giving back to the com munity through drives and donation collections. They most recently donated more than 400 backpacks to the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Queens, and are ramping up their annual breast cancer awareness walk participation. Last year for Operation Warm, Helms Brothers donated more than 800 coats to local children.

“It is important for my dad to know that our efforts are going to someone local and not just writing a check,” she says. “We are here; we are the people on the corner, in the community and our doors

are always open.”

Helms Brothers’ reputation far exceeds the boundaries of Long Island.

“Many of our customers are now down in Florida and we are regularly arranging reputable transport for their new pur chases,” Kirstin says.

She recalls that there have been cir cumstances when the manager will swap cars with a customer so that the vehicle service is able to be expedited.

“This is the type of relationship that we have with our customers.” she says.

She adds that the company is commit ted to convenience and personalizing their clients’ experiences.

Taking Creative Left Turns With Michael Bublé

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

Chance taking isn’t exactly something you’d come to expect from an artist like Michael Bublé. As someone who has sold upwards of 75 million records globally and won a quartet of Grammys ever since self-releasing his debut BaBalu back in 2001, why would he do anything but stick with the status quo? (In fairness, he did open that set of songs up with a the “Spiderman Theme,” an odd choice given that the rest of the tracks included readings of standards ranging from “What a Wonderful World” and “Lazy River” to “Mack the Knife” and “La Vie en Rose”). But rather than do that, the 46-year-old British Columbia native instead took some chances on Higher, his eleventh studio album.

The avuncular Canadian pushed himself in a way that found him going into the studio and working with a new batch of creative partners that ran the gamut from known names like Paul McCartney, Willie Nelson and Ryan Tedder to up-and-coming talents like singer-songwriter Michael Pollack. It’s an experience he unpacks with a mix of deep understanding and goofball bravado.

“There were so many times in my career where maybe I didn’t do the scary thing,” Bublé admitted. “I sort of wanted to make sure I stayed true to the audience and I didn’t move too much. I was proud that I took this step. It was funny but I said to my manager, ‘Bruce, I really want to branch out. I want a Renaissance in my style. I don’t want it to change. I just want it to get better.’ It was interesting because he said, ‘Listen kid, the big deal isn’t having the balls to do that. It’s having the balls to realize or accept what happens if it doesn’t work.’ For me, that was the step. When I finished, I was really emotional. It was a big kind of move for me and when I heard the final product, I knew I was a genius.”

And while the choice of material proved to be a bit of a risk, the experience was exacerbated by having to work in the middle of a pandemic, something Bublé readily acknowledges.

“It was a hugely ambitious project,” he said. “I think even because of COVID-19 protocols, some of the things I did were virtually impossible and I don’t even know how we did it. One of the songs I started out with was ‘Smile’ and we had 120 pieces. We had to find a room to accommodate that many people through COVID-19 in a movie studio—it wasn’t even a music studio. So there were all these sort of things and people around

me that really had to step up and find a way. Of course, writing songs over Zoom—going back and forth. What I dug about that process is that I had to let go. I couldn’t micromanage the way that I usually do and hold everything close to my chest.”

Getting out of that creative comfort zone wound up being an unexpected blessing for Bublé.

“It was like I would start working on a song and send it to Greg Wells, who is a producer, and then he would ask me to give him a couple of days to show me how he might hear that,” he explained. “And then it would come back to me and I thought, ‘If I was in the room with you, I might not have liked it.’ Instead, I was far more open to the process of sharing in that way and building an assembly line with all these people who were so brilliant. And it allowed their brilliance to shine through. I really was surrounded by great people.”

But rather than hunker down and stay in the studio as COVID-19 protocols were causing tours to be canceled and rescheduled on a regular basis, Bublé instead chose to hit the road for a quick 32-date 2021 fall tour just as COVID-19 numbers were spiking. He looked at it as a way of acknowledging how fortunate he and his family were to be cushioned from

the pandemic, while still appreciating that not everyone was in his shoes, particularly members of his band and crew who were unable to pay bills. Precautions were taken in the form of requiring proof of vaccination or a negative test 48 hours prior to the show, something he admitted in prior interviews a number of fans “weren’t very happy” about. But for Bublé, it was an important example to set for his children (wife Luisiana Lopilato recently gave birth to Cielo Yoli Rose, the couple’s fourth child).

“Because of all those beautiful human beings that have supported my family for so long, I didn’t have the same worries a lot of people had,” Bublé said. “I came from a very privileged place where I didn’t have to worry about paying my rent, how to get food or stuff like that. I really wanted to make sure my actions showed my family that when you come from that kind of privilege, you have a responsibility to lead by example with humility and empathy. It was definitely scary and if you’re an artist and say you weren’t scared, then you’re lying.”

Can fans still expect those big brassy horn charts and Bublé channeling his inner Frank Sinatra? No doubt, as evidenced by the inclusion of a swinging “Don’t Get

Around Much Anymore” and a stringsoaked reading of Mildred Bailey’s “Don’t Take Your Love From Me” that demands a belt of Scotch in a darkened corner of a saloon. But then there’s a walk-through of Sam Cooke’s seminal “Bring It On Home to Me” that benefits from a slow build-up gilded by a full-blown gospel accompaniment. About the only other major surprises on this outing are a cover of Bob Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love” from Zim’s critically acclaimed 1997 album Time Out of Mind that sounds as if Gamble and Huff were given a crack at crafting the string arrangements for this cut. Elsewhere, McCartney personally dusted off and produced “My Valentine” off his 2012 album Kisses On the Bottom playing Nelson Riddle to Bublé’s Chairman of the Board while Nelson and his musical host put a distinctive personal spin on the former’s classic “Crazy.” And that doesn’t even take into account a massive left-hand turn via a faithful cover of Barry White’s “You’re the First, the Last, My Everything.” Making this experience all the more rewarding for Bublé was the degree of gratitude he got to experience once the album wrapped.

“I feel like the world has just changed so much,” he said. “How we used to base our success musically has changed so much. I think when we look back at this record, we’ll look at it as being the most successful record of my life and I don’t mean commercially. I mean in every way.”

This longtime eyesore was recently court-granted for demolition following multiple complaints from neighbors and the home being deemed in a state of disrepair and unfit for human occupancy.

“When our code enforcement bureau first started inspecting this property, there were multiple living areas set up, presumably for illegal tenancy. These dangerous conditions were found throughout the home, including in the attic,” said Saladino. “Over the years, this property was found to have multiple violations of town code and the property owner was given many opportunities to bring the house to code, most of which were ignored. Once our administration stepped in and changed the process, we made it possible to rid neighborhoods of eyesores such as this one with the creation of our quality of life taskforce.”

Saladino explained that the house was eventually abandoned, and the town continued inspections and took legal action while ensuring the safety of the local community. All property cleanups and any other work performed at this location by Town personnel were charged back to the property owner, not town taxpayers.

“Stronger laws on the books not only help rid these eyesores from our community, they have also increased the town’s ability to seek restitution from property owners and lending institutions in violation of town code,” said Pravato.

“This is exactly what we’re all about—working together with our residents to protect our communities and our residents’ quality of life,” added LaMarca. “Together, we will continue addressing concerns which negatively impact our neighborhoods.”

The town code enforcement bureau of the department of planning and development is charged with the enforcement of all codes, rules and regulations pertaining to zoning, housing and public safety. It is expressly designed to handle requests of citizens regarding possible violations.

Upstanders For Holocaust Education

An evening which included music, singing and a host of awards was creatively set within a framework defined by the immortal words, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” The phrase was repeated often on Tuesday, Sept. 13, at the 3rd Annual Remembrance Awards Dinner held by Voices for Truth and Humanity at the Crest Hollow Country Club.

The organization, whose mission is to fight hate and intolerance by promoting a curriculum on the Holocaust and all genocides in public schools, hosted numerous dignitaries, elected officials, and prominent guests among the over 200 in attendance. Those included New York State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, New York State Assemblyman Steve Stern, New York State Regent Roger Tilles, New York Board of Rabbis Executive Vice President Rabbi Joe Potasnik, founder and CEO of the Jewish Broadcasting Service Rabbi Mark S. Golub, Prime Minister of the East Turkistan Government-in-Exile Salih Hudayar and member of the Bielski Partisans and Holocaust survivor Martin Bloch.

Public Service Awards were

presented to New York State Senator Anna Kaplan and New York State Assemblywoman Nily Rozic for their relentless work in authoring legislation to strengthen Holocaust Education in New York State public schools, which was recently signed by Governor Hochul. An award was also presented to City National Bank as the event’s corporate honoree for their tremendous support, while the Jewish Broadcasting Service deservedly received this year’s Media Award. Gurwin Healthcare System President and CEO Stuart Almer showed a very moving video of several Holocaust survivors who are being cared for in Gurwin’s

Fay J. Lindner Residences, some of whom were also in attendance and received an ovation from the audience.

The evening’s speakers acknowl edged the organization’s vital work and sounded a common theme that the rising atmosphere of hate, intolerance and antisemitism is a warning to not allow today’s chil dren to become the next generation of victims and bystanders due to their ignorance of history.

The Safe Center Hosts ‘One Too Many’ Event Newbold Family raises more than $1,000 to support child abuse victims

More than 30 members of Long Island’s Newbold family, led by Aileen Newbold, detective with the Nassau Police Department Special Victims Squad, plus friends from the 4th Precinct of the Nassau Police Department, recently gathered in Eisenhower Park to raise money in the “One Too Many” 5K, a virtual event that Newbold and her family decided to make into an in-person one.

Altogether, the family raised $1,000 to benefit The Safe Center, a nonprofit, the leading victim service organization in Nassau County. The entire virtual event raised more than $6,000.

“We always do these walks as a family, we do the Avon breast cancer walk every October and the Arthritis Foundation walk every December to honor family members” Newbold said. “So when the opportunity came about to help The Safe Center and the work they do with victims of child abuse and domestic violence, it’s a win for us all.”

The entire family wore blue, the

color ribbon which symbolizes sol idarity with victims of child abuse and decorated their outfits with emblems from the Nassau Police Department, New York City Fire Department (Newbold’s husband is with the FDNY) and walked the route they plotted themselves around Field 4.

“This is an important cause for me because it’s what I do,” Newbold said. “We’re helping people by raising money which is used to support these families in times of crisis, and then I get to go back to work and continue to

assist them by providing closure and justice by locking up the bad guys. Helping families is what we do at SVS.”

In the past year, The Safe Center has responded to 6,195 hotline calls and assisted 3,819 survivors im pacted by domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking and child sexual and severe physical

abuse. More than 27,000 people attended educational trainings rais ing awareness on how to recognize, responded to and prevented future incidents of abuse.

“We greatly appreciate the dedication of Detective Newbold, her family, and everyone who participated in the walk,” Safe Center Executive Director Cindy

Scott said. “Our partnership with the Nassau County Police Department is an invaluable tool in assisting victims of domestic violence, child abuse and many other forms of violence find the support and resources they need to escape their tormentors and start new lives.”

How Blackmore’s Night Found Solace With Nature’s Light

DAVE GIL de RUBIO

itchie Blackmore’s version of the Great Resignation came about 25 years ago when he decided to hang up his rock and roll shoes and chose to pursue his passion for Renaissance music with spouse Candice Night in Blackmore’s Night. Gone were the Stratocasters and Marshall amplifiers and in were centuries-old instruments like nyckleharpes and hurdy gurdys along with a deep dive into music of the 15th and 16th centuries. With the duo of Blackmore and Night serving as the constant in Blackmore’s Night and its revolving line-up of musicians, the journey began with the 1997 debut Shadow of the Moon which included compositions by Renaissance era composers like Pierre Attaingnant and Tielman Susato along with a number of originals and a cover of contemporary Swedish outfit Rednex and their 1995 ballad “Wish You Were Here.” A quarter of a century later, the Mount Sinai-based couple are dusting off Nature’s Light, the band’s eleventh studio album. Eight Blackmore/Night compositions make up the record’s 10 cuts along with a reworking of the aforementioned Rednex song and a cover of Sarah Brightman’s “Second Element.” And while it would be natural to assume this was a pandemic record, Nature’s Light was actually recorded right before the pandemic hit at a time

when the duo was going through a lot of pain and loss. Night’s 80-yearold father was diagnosed with cancer back in 2018 and passed within a year, while Blackmore’s brother succumbed to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at the same time. Going into a project like this was understandably a difficult endeavor for both artists.

“In the year 2018 when we went into the studio and had our producer come out from Los Angeles to record all of these songs, it was a very dark and difficult year for us,” Night shared. “The closest people to our hearts left and there were these big dark holes in our souls. Before we went into record, I know I was at the point where I didn’t feel like singing. I felt like a ghost of myself. I decided at that point that maybe the best way to get over my deep sadness was turning it into something I could write about. It was very cathartic going through all these emotions. Meanwhile, at the end of it, the pandemic hit.”

Blackmore agreed that focusing on the creative process helped him navigate the pain he was experiencing at the time.

“I really believe that when one is suffering from grief, you should get really involved in your work so you can try and forget what’s going on,” he said.

The mood throughout the album is one of lightness and brings to mind tankards of ale being tossed back, peasant blouses, madrigals and the kind of fanfare you might hear in the court of a Medieval king. With the

current range of fantasy-flavored series like House of the Dragon and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power being all the rage, do the duo ever think their material might be a good fit?

“It is interesting because there are so many period pieces, whether it’s on television or films that come out and do so well,” Night said. “The irony is that the only time one of our songs was used was in a Jim Carrey movie called Yes Man and they used ‘Old Mill Inn’ at a party he was at.”

Blackmore added, “It’s funny, because I don’t follow that kind of thing. I’m more of a purist and want to be in the wood myself hearing a piece of music written in the 1500’s or 1600’s. There’s only one film we saw—Elizabeth, where they actually played three real Renaissance songs played in the correct manner with the correct instruments. I was thrilled by the fact that they’d taken the chance to play it as it was supposed to be played. But it’s very seldom that you’ll hear these songs or melodies played in the correct manner.”

Blackmore’s Night will be playing on October 30 at Sony Hall, 235 W. 46th St., NYC. Visit www.sonyhall.com or call 212-997-5123 for more information. The band will also be playing on Nov. 18 at the Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts, 71 E. Main St., Patchogue.

Opening lead — king of diamonds.

Anyone could make four hearts on this deal if he knew which oppo nent had the jack of clubs. As the cards lie, all South has to do is to lead a club toward his hand at some stage and play the nine after East follows low.

But this approach would fail if West had the jack of clubs. In that case, declarer would succeed by leading a club from his hand and finessing the ten.

Since there is no way South can tell which opponent has the jack, he should look for a line of play that avoids subjecting himself to a blind guess. Obviously, the best

chance is to find the opposing spades divided 3-3, in which case dummy’s fourth spade can be estab lished by conceding two spade tricks early in the play.

This thought is certainly a step in the right direction, but it doesn’t go quite far enough. The reason is that declarer can also make his contract in many cases where the spades break 4-2, provided the proper advance preparations are made.

South should therefore shape his play to cater to both the 3-3 and 4-2 possibilities. After ruffing the open ing diamond lead, he plays a heart to the ace, ruffs a diamond high, leads a heart to the nine and ruffs dummy’s last diamond high.

The ace and another spade are now played. West wins the second spade with the queen (East cannot profitably afford to overtake) and finds himself endplayed. If he returns a club, the guess for the jack is eliminated, while if he leads a diamond instead, declarer ruffs in one hand and discards a club from the other.

West’s actual spade holding is only one of many doubleton com binations either defender could hold that would allow South to fulfill the contract. The K-x, Q-x, J-x or K-Q, K-J, Q-J in either opponent’s hand would all prove fatal for the defense. All declarer has to do is to eliminate dummy’s diamonds before tackling the spades.

A Double Dose of Halloween In Downtown Glen Cove

Get ready for a frightful night in downtown Glen Cove as the Glen Cove Downtown Business Improvement District brings a Halloween party to Village Square on Saturday, Oct. 29. This new event after dark will include a DJ and costume contests, following the annual Children’s Halloween Parade and Festival.

“The Halloween Parade and Festival for children has been a tradition for families in downtown Glen Cove for over 20 years, but the community has expressed a desire for an event for adults as well,” Glen Cove Downtown BID Executive Director Patricia Hol man said. “So, we decided to create something that will bring people downtown on a Saturday night.”

For the free outdoor event, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., attendees will dance to the sounds of DJ Master Jay and participate in costume

contests and a lip-syncing contest.

Though this event is geared towards adults, there will be a prize for “Best Teen Costume.” And in line with the event’s Heroes and Villains theme, special prizes will be awarded to the Best Hero and Best Villain costumes.

Earlier on the same day, the Downtown BID hosts its annual Children’s Halloween Parade and Festival for children ages 12 years and under. Accompanying adults are encouraged to get in on the fun and dress up as well. Kick–off is at 1:30 p.m. at the intersection of School Street and Highland Road near the Staples Center parking lot and will be led by a theatrical circus performer and superheroes and villains.

After the parade, children may trick-or-treat throughout the shops of the downtown businesses dis playing the special BID “Welcome” posters. On Bridge Street, there will

be a live DJ to dance the “Monster Mash,” and bouncy houses spon sored by American Paving and Masonry, a Witch’s Broom Race sponsored by Glen Cove Eye Care, Pumpkin Mini Golf sponsored by Glen Floors and all the cotton candy that you can eat by John Perrone—State Farm Insurance Agency from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.

The costume contests begin at 2 p.m. for three different age groups (0-4, 5-8 and 9-12), followed by contests for the most creative, best hero and best villain. And to top it off, children can enter the pie eating contest to win a prize.

The Halloween Parade and Festival is sponsored by: American Paving and Masonry, The Regency Assisted Living, Glen Floors, John Perrone–State Farm Insurance Agency, Charles Hoffman Dentistry, ClayNation, Celeste Gullo–Allstate Insurance Agency, Deep Roots Farmers Market, Glen Cove

Eye Care and How Can I Help Elder Care. The rain date for the parade is Nov. 5; updates will be posted on Facebook and the BID website in case of cancelation.

There’s Always Something To Learn About Gardening

BY DAGMAR FORS KARPPI editors@antonnews.com

It’s wonderful to hear a good speaker: one who explains things with just the right words to make them memorable. That was the case as Cornell Cooperative Extension speaker, John Deignan, a board member at Old Westbury Gardens, talked about Putting the Garden to Bed at the September meeting of the Locust Valley Gar den Club (LVGC).

He characterized a compost pile as “making Lasagna”.

Deignan said that it is made up of layers of leaves, vegetable food scraps, coffee grounds, egg shells and paper. Even cardboard can be used, LVGC President Dean Yoder added.

Hip to the latest trends in gar dening Deignan said simply, “Nev er throw out your leaves,” but store them up for use as mulch for your

winter garden. They are a valu able asset in building up your soil. Dump them in a convenient area until you have two or three hard

frosts and them mulch you garden area, but at no more than two”.

Your trees should “sit” in a bowl-shaped circle of mulch, with 6” of the area around the base, clear of leaves. Tree roots need oxygen and gas needs to escape from underground so that area should be mulch free.

Deignan asked for a show of hands of those who had their soil tested, but few hands went up. One was Dean’s as he said he did annual soil checks in about four different areas of his garden.

Different areas of a garden need different nutrients and in explain ing what we need for good soil, Deignan made it simple. The num bers on a bag of fertilizer refer to what you aim for from your garden.

When you see the three numbers on a fertilizer bag, for example 123-10, you should pick the biggest number that relates to what you

want to happen in your garden. Fer tilizers contain Nitrogen, Phospho rous and Potassium. The Nitrogen is for green growth; Phosphorous is for fruits, flowers, tomatoes and nuts; Potassium is the daily vitamin for overall plant health.

He suggested lawns should be cut to only 2” in their last mowing in the fall. He cautioned, “Read the labels on plants,” and follow the directions. He said check plants on sale, to be sure they are not rootbound by looking at the root ball: if it is surrounded by roots, cut off about 3” from the bottom of the plant, and shred the sides.

Everyone enjoyed his talk so much the hope is that he would come back in the spring to talk on Waking Up the Garden.

Raynham Hall Museum (RHM) is the October venue for the next LVGC meeting. RHM Board Pres ident Yoder and Jonathan Grimm

As the meeting ended, members were signing up for the November Thanksgiving luncheon and discussing recipes they were considering, another very special part of the club members participation. That includes volunteers bringing floral decorations for the tables at each event.

The LVGC meets the second Wednesday of the month, at Mill Neck Manor. The program starts at 10 a.m. and includes lunch. The donation is $15. New members are truly welcome as we share our knowledge and love of horticulture. Contact Dean Yoder at dyinteriors@yahoo.com for more information.

Mill Neck Manor School For The Deaf Hosts Ribbon Cutting Ceremony For Shared Reading Project

The public was invited to learn about the Shared Reading Project at Mill Neck Manor School for the Deaf through a ribbon cutting ceremony on Sept. 30.

The exciting new program will teach hearing parents how to read to their deaf children using American Sign Language (ASL)/English while being trained by deaf mentors who come to the child’s home and work directly with families and loved ones.

Started by Gallaudet University in Washington D.C., the program has quickly spread around the country fostering a new and exciting literacy process for deaf children designed to improve their reading scores, improve overall communication and foster meaningful relationships with their parents.

Mill Neck has spent a year planning for this project and has hired Cathi Conticello, the

coordinator of the Shared Read ing Project, and Micah Covelli, a deaf mentor. Deaf mentors are already working with seven families in the children’s homes in Long island and Queens. The free in-home program is avail able to deaf and hard of hearing infants ages 0 to 5 years old whether they attend Mill Neck School or not and has proven to be highly effective in improving literacy, communication and

family bonding.
