oing into its 201st year, the Jericho Cider Mill had to make the tough decision to cancel its bicentennial celebration last year due to the pandemic. Instead, the mill celebrated this momentous milestone retro-actively on Oct. 16 after getting through the peak of COVID. Family, friends, fans of the mill and local officials were all on-hand to celebrate the momentous occasion. There was even an apple crumb cake to celebrate the milestone. “It was awesome to finally be able to celebrate this,” owner Ted Ketsoglou said. “It’s great.” Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino, along with councilmembers presented a citation to Ketsoglou to recognize the historic establishment. Muttontown Mayor James Liguori also presented Jericho Cider Mill with a citation. Saladino noted how not many businesses in America can say they’ve been in business for 200 years, joking that, “I think Teddy Roosevelt was an intern here in his early years when he was in high school.” The history of the mill goes way back to the early 1800s. 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 farther south along Route 106. Hicks was a member of the Long Island family whose members include the Quaker preacher Elias Hicks, and

Valentine Hicks, one time president of the Long Island Railroad. Hicks produced vinegar and sweet cider until his death in the 1930s. Farmer John Zulkofske then bought the mill from Hicks’ nephew . John’s son, George worked at the mill and soon took over the mill from his father. The cider mill, a two-story white barn which presses more than 40,000 gallons of the sweet liquid each year. 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 apple leftovers, called “mash”, are very high in nitrogen. Although some gardeners take away mash from the mill, about two truckloads weekly go to a gardening dump. The mill is still famous for that cider, as well as its apple pies and apple cider donuts, too. The secret? Everything is all-natural, with no preservatives added. Today, the tradition continues with employees that grew up at the mill. Ailing in health, George Zulkofske, who owned

the Jericho Cider Mill since 1958, sold it in November of 2015 to Ted Ketsoglou (George’s wife, Agnes drove two hours to attend the celebration.) Ketsoglou’s family manufactured ice cream and distributed it, which he said gave him the experience to run the cider mill. The Cider Mill is run by his son Kerry and Kerry’s wife Brianna. A alumni herself, a photo hangs on the wall of Brianna at age 16 working as a cashier. Her aunt, who also worked at the mill, had brought her along with her sister to help on days they didn’t have school. Kerry met his true love the day he first walked into the mill. The

mill has upgraded some of its equipment to larger ovens to keep up with the volume, but the recipes will always stay the same. As for the next 200 years, Ketsoglou said he plans to continue to grow the business, especially in its wholesale division and do what the cider mill does best: “Continue to give quality products for a fair price and continue to bring fresh ingredients down to the Long Island area.” What did you think of this article?

Sewanhaka High School Announces New Program BY ALEXANDRA ANDRADE

newhydepark@antonmediagroup.com

ewanhaka High School’s Family and Consumer Sciences Department is thrilled to announce its new project, FACSfreSH, a student-run vegetable garden. With the help of 10th grader, Mathew Cruz of Troop 298 in New Hyde Park, the idea blossomed into a reality during the summer of 2021. Through his Star Scout Project, Cruz’s goal was to give back to Sewanhaka High School by building a bridge for the future. Troop leaders, teachers, parents, and students from across the Sewanhaka Central High School District got together to build four raised garden beds. The goal is to provide our students with a handson learning experience that will positively impact their educational experience for years to come. The Introduction to Culinary Arts class is learning about gardening,

nutrition, and using our homegrown ingredients in cooking labs. The term farm-to table has new meaning as students learn the connection between nature and their own food supply. Late summer was the perfect time to plant our fall crops. We planted beets, squash, peas, spinach and kale. With the help of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Nassau County, students got their first lesson on planting seeds and the optimal conditions to reap a great fall harvest. Planning ahead, students have also planted garlic and flower bulbs that will bloom into beautiful flowers in the spring. By working together and challenging the students to lead, the Sewanhaka community is thriving. —Alexandra Andrade is the chairperson/coordinator of Family and Consumer Sciences at Sewanhaka High School

Northwell Health Opens Glen Cove Hospital Caregiver Center To Provide Support

o mark the opening of its fully-equipped, modern Caregiver Center, Glen Cove Hospital recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony with hospital and Northwell leaders, government and community officials and a Long Island patient and her parents who shared their experiences as caregivers. The Caregiver Center was built as part of a total $750,000, 2,600-squarefoot project, which also includes a renovated lobby, reception area, gift shop and cafe. Thanks to Glen Cove Hospital’s efforts, the volunteer Community Partnership Board funded the new Caregiver Center. The initiative was led by the late Barbara Hoover and the co-chairs of the group, Bea Banker and Adrienne Jones. In addition, the hospital’s Auxiliary and Northwell Health supported the project to redesign the gift shop and cafe while the hospital also modernized and revamped its public spaces on the first floor used by visitors, patients and staff. Glen Cove Hospital’s new Caregiver Center is designed to help people going through many types of challenges. It provides a broad range of resources, emotional and psychosocial support, and respite for caregivers who have loved ones at the hospital or living in the community or part of the Glen Cove Senior Center, for example. The center is staffed by social workers, who train volunteer caregiver coaches on the hospital units to help identify caregivers in need of extra support. “Today’s opening of this state-of-the-art Caregiver Center continues Glen Cove Hospital’s 100-year reputation of unrivaled dedication, skilled care, and service,” said Congressman Tom Suozzi for New York’s 3rd district, who participated in the event.

Levittown’s Historic Bike Tour Cycles Town’s History

hey came on bicycles, helmeted and ready to learn more about a much-loved town. In number, riders totaled 34 and they gathered recently to tour Levittown’s north and south sides on bikes. The weather was perfect, the riders and docents were excited and the tour guides, charged with the responsibility of keeping everyone safe and inline, were a bit apprehensive until the motorcycle police from the Nassau County Police Department 8th Precinct arrived to escort the tour. After the riders took off, docents proceeded to their locations where they were engaged to explain the significant historical importance of the 22 locations scheduled for visits. With pride in their community evident and curiosity in seeing so many bicyclists travel down their street, local residents who spotted the ensemble waved and greeted them as they proceeded through the streets destined for the final site at the Levittown Historical Society Museum located in the Levittown Memorial Education Center on Abbey Lane in Levittown. Comments and thank you notes from participants and tour guides after the ride summed up the success of the event. Bike Ride Committee Chairperson Frank McKenna said “... yesterday’s bike tour truly turned out to be a great success.“ McKenna’s appraisal was echoed by a number of riders and tour guides as well. “I had a lovely time.” wrote Janet Imbrogno, a rider from Wantagh. “The tour leader and all the speakers and volunteers did an amazing job. Everything was very well done and run so professionally. It was a fun day and I learned a lot.” Lilliana Bascetta, who grew up in Levittown and now resides in Valley Stream, mobilized her group of coworkers from Sewanhaka High School where she teaches and who bike together. Her daughter and son-in-law, Brittany and Andrew Piddoubny who live in Levittown, rode with the group. Bascetta wrote, “I had a wonderful time, enjoyed showing my daughter and son-in-law and coworkers the neighborhood.” “It was great. I’ll do the full ride next year!”, wrote John Reagan of Islip, who is part of the Sewanhaka Bike group along with Michael Gregori, who also rode. As of now, a ride is not scheduled

Chairperson Louise Cassano said the Anniversary Planning Committee at a future meeting and depending on volunteer

support will determine if that will take place. Tour guide Susan Maher of Levittown wrote “Thank you. I had a lot of fun and everyone was great.” And tour leader Scott Diamond, who planned and researched the specifics of the route taken, exhibited great pride in his accomplishments as he

settled down after months of planning outside the Levittown Historical Museum after the ride was completed. Levittown will officially celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2022, marking the date from the time the first residents inhabited the homes in 1948. Plans for the event began in 2017 with a few events taking place that year and in 2018 and part of 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic had curtailed other events planned for the rest of 2019 and through this year. The anniversary celebration will continue this year with a Howl-OWeen Pet and Partners Costume Parade on Saturday, Oct. 30 from noon to 3 p.m. at the Bluegrass Lane Pool and Park.

Massapequa Preserve Serves As Classroom For Science Students

or students in Massapequa High School’s Advanced Placement Environmental Science course, their own community provides a great place to study nature. They recently traveled to the Massapequa Preserve for some exploration and experimentation. Students took part in the “A Day in the Life” river study program sponsored by the Central Pine Barrens Joint Planning and Policy Commission. They gathered alongside the stream a few blocks north of Clark Boulevard to begin their observations. The young scientists measured stream speed and direction, recorded weather conditions, noted tree and plant life, did biological sampling of fish and invertebrates and conducted chemical testing of the water. “They’re getting an understanding of the ecology of the area and the importance of the preserve,” science teacher Thomas Dempsey said. Dempsey said that the trip to the

preserve is an annual tradition, so there is about 10 years of comparative data collected by Massapequa students. Fellow science teacher Stacy Lopez led a bird watch. Students were able to identify more than 15 species of birds in the park including the downy woodpecker, northern flicker and golden-crowned kinglet. Some observations were made with sightings, others by identifying bird calls. Representatives from Central Pine Barrens, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation were on hand to work with the students. Officials from the DEC spoke about the water body assessments that they conduct at the Massapequa Preserve and other parks on Long Island, as well as the importance of fishing regulations. —Submitted by the Massapequa School District

New Water Regulations Improve Quality But Impact Costs For District, Residents T summer, we must maintain eight supply wells,” RWD Chairman Michael Kosinski said. “This is why we encourage every resident with an irrigation system to follow our guidance to ensure they are in a position to conserve as much water as possible without sacrificing the health and beauty of their lawns and landscaping. One of the most effective and easy ways to conserve is to install a smart irrigation controller.” Smart controllers replace standard irrigation clock timers and use a Wi-Fi connection to link up with local weather stations to automatically adjust watering schedules based on the forecast. This, in turn, allows the controller to understand how much water the lawn needs, usually one inch of water per week, and cuts down on any

unnecessary overwatering. While it can vary depending on weather and other aspects of your irrigation system, these devices typically reduce irrigation consumption by up to 30 percent. Residents that have a standard irrigation timer and rely on an irrigation contractor to turn on, turn off and adjust watering schedules

THE BEST PROSECUTOR TO KEEP NASSAU SAFE

are very likely wasting tens of thousands of gallons of water every month. When an irrigation system is turned on in late March or early April and is turned off in the late fall, if watering schedules are not adjusted throughout the season, water is being wasted as watering needs change drastically between April and July. Smart irrigation

controllers know exactly how much water your lawn needs at any given time, avoiding this unintentional yet common wasting of water. “We encourage all of our residents to inquire with their irrigation contractor about installing a smart controller when their system is being shut down or turning on for the season,” Chairman Kosinski continued. “Now is a great time of year to make the switch, especially as contractors are out turning off systems and performing required backflow testing.” Residents should also note that their backflow devices require maintenance by irrigation contractors every fall. This is the perfect time to consider installing a smart controller in your home. —Submitted by the Roslyn Water District

he Roslyn Water District (RWD) would like to remind its residents of the importance of water conservation, especially as millions of dollars are being invested to upgrade treatment systems to meet the state’s new water quality standards. As the need for capital to build new and upgraded facilities as well as the cost to operate these facilities increases, water rates and/or taxes will inevitably have to change to fill the budget gaps. For residents, the best way to minimize these potential increases is to ensure they are taking the appropriate measures to conserve water, especially while irrigating their lawns. “If we didn’t irrigate our lawns, the District would only need two of our wells, but since we as a community irrigate so heavily during the

Bringing Our Wholesome and Nutritious Dairy Products to Your Table Starts with a Fourth Generation Commitment to Quality By Jim Davenport, Tollgate Holsteins Farm, Ancramdale, NY Each day, in the rolling hills of Columbia County, we produce some of the nation’s highest quality milk which Hudson Valley Fresh processes into the most wholesome and nutritious dairy products. Ranging from whole, to low-fat to skim milk and chocolate milk; to yogurt and sour cream which are processed and available in as little as 48 hours hours from our grassy fields to New York city coffee shops and specialty groceries in Nassau and Suffolk counties. As a fourth generation farmer, and I say that with pride – what we have accomplished at Tollgate Holsteins Farm and Hudson Valley Fresh is in so many ways a tribute to those who came before us. We are honored to be recognized – six times – as a winner of the National Dairy Quality Award and believe this results from our our disciplined practices and protocols to ensure our cows live in a clean, comfortable and stress-free environment. From our farm to your table, our products are found in school cafeterias and restaurants, fuel the activities of United States Military Academy cadets, and are a staple of aspiring chefs attending the Culinary Institute of America.

Hicksville Water District To Host Contact-Less Pharmaceutical Take Back Day Drive-thru collection of medications and pharmaceutical equipment on Oct. 23

These materials will then be brought to Covanta’s waste management facility in East Northport by the Nassau County Police Department for disposal. “The Hicksville Water District is proud to bring its first ever Pharmaceutical Take Back Day to our community this month,” HWD Chairman Karl Schweitzer said. “Not only does this help residents discreetly dispose of potentially harmful materials, but it also helps protect our water supply by preventing them from entering into our single-source

aquifer. Protecting our precious water supply is one of the District’s biggest priorities and we are excited to provide the community with a safe and easy way to help us along with that mission.” Nearly all of Long Island’s

water comes from a single-source aquifer located hundreds of feet underground. When residents dispose of their unused medications or pharmaceutical equipment by flushing them down the toilet or sink, they can end

up contaminating the water supply. By bringing these materials to the district’s Pharmaceutical Take Back, residents do their part in protecting our water supply while also making their homes safer places to live for their families. —Submitted by the Hicksville Water District

MacArthur, Mepham Battle To 1-1 Tie BY JAMES ROWAN

t had all the trappings of a playoff game. Intense play, boisterous crowd and big plays. And this may very well continue into the post-season. The boys soccer matchup between MacArthur and Mepham certainly lived up to the hype. Both teams sat, unbeaten, on top of Conference A1. After 80 minutes of soccer, that’s where they remained. In a critical conference showdown, MacArthur and Mepham dueled to a 1-1 tie. Earlier this season, at MacArthur, the Generals and Pirates played to a 0-0 tie. The final regular season game of last year, also ended in a 0-0 tie between the two teams. “The rivalry between Mepham and MacArthur is growing more and more every time we play,” MacArthur goalkeeper Tyler Behr said. “They’re a very challenging , physical and technical opponent. It is always a hard-fought game when we play them. Neither of us ever want to lose a game, but especially not against each other.” The scoring was done in the first half. The Pirates struck first when Dominic Saraceni scored off a feed from Deshaun Maitland to stake Mepham to a 1-0 lead. But less than 10 minutes later, Cristian Perez Franco headed the ball to Joey Mahoney, who buried it in the net to even the score. That led to a second half that was a tense defensive standoff. Both goalkeepers and defensive units rose to the occasion. While Mepham put the

pressure on the Generals, Behr was excellent in net, deflecting shots aside and finishing with 11 saves. “Going into the game, myself along with my teammates are not really thinking too much about the pressure and about how this game will affect us,” Behr said. “Obviously it is more pressure and stress oriented than others, but it doesn’t impact the way any of us play. The game was well fought even down to the waning seconds. With just under one minute remaining, MacArthur’s Nick Del Grosso won a 50-50 ball at the 20-yard-line and carried the ball past midfield. Del Grosso delivered the ball to Perez Franco, who then tried to hit a streaking Jason Tordy down the right side, but the Pirates defense clamped down and intercepted the pass. Mepham quickly turned the ball up field, hoping to launch one more shot at Behr, but MacArthur’s Joe Iannuzzi broke up the play and time expired. With both teams 7-0-4, this matchup could very well extend into the playoffs. “The rivalry between two undefeated teams playing for first place is very intense,” Iannuzzi said. “I wouldn’t mind beating them in the playoffs.” The MacArthur girls volleyball team, led by Ryann Murphy and Sofia Migliore, is 11-1 and occupies first place in Conference AC/5. The Levittown District has a 5-4 record in boys volleyball with Dylan Vargas and Josh Chong leading the team. —James Rowan is a Levittown resident

Local Businesses Get Support Through First Ever Oyster Bay Day BY TIM SEEBERGER

tseeberger@antonmediagroup.com

ue to the pandemic, the Town of Oyster Bay and the Oyster Bay Chamber of Commerce had to make the decision to cancel the annual Oyster Fest for the second year in a row. Though the fest was called off, the town and chamber held its first ever Oyster Bay Day street fair instead on Oct. 16, a pared down version of the famous festival that still drew a solid crowd. Axe throwing, a rocking band from School of Rock and food galore lined the streets as fest-goers took in the beautiful day. The fair was not only a fun day for those that came, but a way to boost businesses that may have struggled through the pandemic. “When we knew that the Oyster Fest wasn’t happening, the chamber stepped up to try and support local businesses,” said Chamber Board Director and owner of Hive Market and Maker’s Mark Laura Escobar. She knows how difficult it was for businesses in the village throughout the pandemic. As new businesses actually opened, others had to shut their doors for good. “Not everyone survived, which was really sad,” said Jo Wider, treasurer of the chamber. Hive Market was one of the businesses that actually opened during COVID. The Market had a tent set up outside the shop where it sold items like jewelry and soaps. “This was a good opportunity to appease them, make them happy and have something going during these crazy times,” Wider said. Over on East Main Street, Oyster Bay Yoga owner Amy Garvey was selling essential oils, handing out class schedules and giving out information about sessions to people who passed by her tent. “We were really pleased that they [the chamber] decided to do something because it’s a really big event for the town

chamber stepped up and put an event together—really with short notice—and it’s a really good event.” The music was a nice way to set a fun tone for families and fest-goers who parused the different booths and eateries. People sat and sipped beers from Oyster Bay Brewery, indulged in a classic German snack from Knots Pretzels, had a pickle on a stick and were still able to snag a few oysters from a booth set up on the street. For kids, there were balloon animals, science crafts from Stemtastic they could have fun with, and a Halloween costume parade that marched straight through the festival. Frankie Reilly and Dean Sampson have been going to the Oyster Fest since 1984. Though they would have liked to go to the real deal this year, this was a good alternative. “It’s fantastic that the town put on Oyster Bay Day in the place of Oyster Fest,” Reilly said. “During the pandemic, the fact that you can still bring people together is a wonderful thing, especially outdoors, which is key.” Wider noted that the Oyster Fest started out as a local street fair started by the chamber like Oyster Bay Day, so some residents actually preferred this. The festival was planned on a short notice. It was announced two weeks ago, and planning started only two months ago, but it seemed as if people responded, as hundreds came out from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. All in all, the festival was a success. “The local businesses depend on its residents to keep them going. Unless you want to see tumbleweeds blowing down the streets, you have to shop local,” Wider said.

Team E.V.A. Presents $2,500 Surprise Donation To Glen Cove VFW Post 347

ach year, when Long Island resident Eva Casale sets a goal of running 7 marathons in a 7-day span, her focus is on the mission and end result. Through the hard work, sweat, mental and physical challenges, Casale does what many consider the impossible to do and what she considers the most important: raising money for active military and veterans. On Thursday, Oct. 7, Casale, founder of Team E.V.A, which appropriately stands for “Every Veteran Appreciated,” surprised the VFW Post 347 in Glen Cove with a $2,500 donation to let them know that they are appreciated after a season of hard loss and tragedy. Following a fire at the local headquarters in late August, the Glen Cove VFW Post suffered thousands of dollars in damage, a large portion of which was not covered by insurance. Team E.V.A.’s donation, generated from Casale’s fifth year of holding her annual fundraising event, will help repair some of the damages and go towards rebuilding the storied structure. “I truly feel humbled to be able to support the Glen Cove VFW Post 347 especially during such a trying time,” said Casale. “Our veterans have done so much for our country and to see them lose their ‘home’ and meeting space with this fire is heartbreaking. This donation is a small way to thank our veterans for their service and will hopefully make a difference for them moving forward.” “We are so grateful for Eva’s tremendous support to aid us in rebuilding our headquarters,” said Henryk Nowicki, VFW Post Commander. “With such a shortfall in funding by insurance, this generous donation will help us to act on our much-needed repairs quickly and without worry.” “To experience such a hardship two months ago truly put the Glen Cove VFW Post at such a loss as this is the space that has been there for their holiday remembrances, celebrations, picnics and so much more,” added Jack Stein VFW Past County Commander. “Eva’s donation has helped turned one of their darkest days into light again,” he continued. The Oct. 7 donation to the Glen Cove VFW marks the first of several support checks being issued to veterans’ organizations throughout Long Island by Team E.V.A. This year, Casale and her team have raised over

Plainview Water District To Host Fourth Annual Pharmaceutical Take Back Day The Plainview Water District (PWD) is hosting its fourth annual Pharmaceutical Take Back Day on Saturday, Oct. 23 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 10 Manetto Hill Road. Residents are encouraged to bring any unwanted or expired medications to be disposed of properly. As a part of the PWD’s Preserve Plainview initiative, this annual drive-thru event ensures the proper disposal of pharmaceuticals and prevents them from making their way into the community’s sole-source of drinking water. “We encourage all members of the Plainview-Old Bethpage community to take advantage of this event to dispose of their expired or unused medications in the safest and most

convenient way possible,” said PWD Chairman Marc Laykind. “Our collective responsibility as a community is to protect our sole-source of drinking water. POB residents continue to impress us with their participation each year and we look forward to making this year the most successful yet.” Normally, if someone flushes medications down the toilet or throws them in the garbage, there is a likelihood that the medications’

contents will ultimately make their way into the community waterways and water supply. If there is an elevated presence of toxins from pharmaceuticals in the groundwater, the District will have no choice but to heavily invest in expensive treatment systems so the impurities can be removed before they reach customers’ homes. “Protecting our environment from potentially harmful substances is the responsibility of each and every resident of our community,” said PWD Commissioner Andrew Bader.

“Pharmaceutical Take Back Day is a wonderful opportunity for community members to do their part in keeping our aquifer safe.” For additional information about the Plainview Water District’s Pharmaceutical Take Back Day or other District initiatives, please call (516) 931-6469 or visit the Plainview Water District website at www. plainviewwater.org. Residents can also sign up to receive information by submitting their email address through the District’s homepage or following them on Facebook in order to stay up-to-date with District activities and initiatives. —Submitted by the Plainview Water District

Village And Belmont Battle Over Land Space BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

ith just one month until the USB Arena opens its doors to the public and with the overall redevelopment of Belmont Park being well underway, the Village of Floral Park has urged the Empire State Development Corporation (ESD) to allow some development space be left alone in order to become a barrier for village residents whose houses border Belmont’s property. “For the past two years, including a number of recent requests this past spring and summer, the village has proposed to the New York Empire State Development Corporation a series of proposals designed to mitigate the impact of this project on the surrounding community,” Mayor Kevin Fitzgerald said in a letter to residents. “Included among the village’s proposals is a plan to preserve a small portion of space just east of Belmont Park’s North Lot—east of Belmont Park Road—as open space to serve as a buffer for the adjoining residents. This is not a large parcel of land, but for many decades it has served as an open space buffer and has been an important quality of life safeguard for the Floral Park-Bellerose School and nearby residents.” Fitzgerald said that preserving that parcel of land is important now more than ever once Belmont Park’s North Lot will be utilized more often to accommodate people who travel to the USB Arena for events. “Officially preserving as open space, the area east of Belmont Park Road in the North Lot to the residential property lines in the West End would not seem to be an extraordinary request,” Fitzgerald added. “This small area has been unpaved and tree filled as long as anyone can remember. Further, the development plans in ESD’s Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Belmont Redevelopment Project indicated that this area would be left untouched by construction and that privacy-screening would be placed along the eastern edge of Belmont Park Road boundary of the North Lot.”

I know this is an important issue to my residents, so it’s important to me, and I will not stop fighting until we get the resolution we’ve been seeking.” It may not come as a surprise to some that the village and ESD locked horns when it came to the refuted land space. In the past, the village and ESD had been locked in ongoing litigation with the Village of Floral Park accusing ESD of having a lack of transparency when it comes to the development project. In order to prepare for the possible influx of people traveling through the village to get to the arena, the village board has also been meeting with its police department to discuss the possible impacts to preserve residents’ quality of life.

These standards involve ongoing tree planting, maintenance and preservation of trees and the variety of trees planted per year in the community. Evaluations are made based on four standards: a legally constituted municipal tree body, the adoption of tree ordinances, a comprehensive Community Forestry Program and the observance of Arbor Day. “Residents of Garden City should be proud to live in a community that makes the planting and care of trees a priority,” Dan Lambe, Arbor Day Foundation president, said. “We celebrate your commitment to the people and trees of Garden City and thank you for helping to create a healthier planet for all of us.”

District Attorney, Legal Aid & Advocates Call For Increase In State And Federal Juror Pay

cting Nassau County District Attorney Joyce A. Smith recently called upon state and federal lawmakers to increase juror compensation to $15 per hour to promote racial and economic diversity and to improve the fairness of criminal and civil trials. Under current law, eligible New York jurors receive a fee of $40 per day of service and federal jurors receive $50 per day, but low jury pay forces many summoned for service to decide between performing their civic duty and losing essential income. “Inclusive and representative juries have an essential role in our system and no eligible citizen should be precluded from serving because they can’t afford to miss work,” Smith said. “Jury service can be difficult and emotionally taxing, and it’s time for our government to pay those who serve at least the minimum wage we ask employers to pay.” To reduce the burden of an increased juror fee on taxpayers, Smith also called on the State Legislature to require large employers to pay employees’ full wage for the duration of jury service. Studies show that a diversity of experiences on juries

leads to more considered decisions. Researchers found that diverse juries were less likely to presume guilt than homogenous juries, that they were more thorough in their evaluation of evidence, and that they deliberated longer. In addition, researchers found that diverse juries discussed more facts, were more open to discussing the role of race, and made fewer factual errors than homogenous juries. New York tracks the demographics of jurors who appear for service, but between 7 percent and 25 percent of Long Island and New York City jurors decline to complete juror information cards, making comparisons of the demographics of those who serve and the broader population less useful despite the Unified Court System’s efforts. Available data show that Black- and Hispanicidentifying jurors are disproportionately underrepresented on jury pools compared to census data. The court system does not report data regarding income levels of jurors who

appear, or the demographic information of those summoned for jury duty who do not appear. New York’s jury stipend of $40/day equates to an hourly rate of just $5 per hour for an eight hour workday, and the equivalent of an annual salary of $10,400, a fraction

of Nassau County’s per capita income of $51,422, and less than half of the $27,300, which qualifies as “extremely low income” under U.S. Housing and Urban Development guidelines. The stipend is even below the federal poverty line for an individual, which does not factor Nassau’s high cost of living. N. Scott Banks, Esq., Attorney In Chief of the

Nassau County Legal Aid Society added, “The Legal Aid Society of Nassau County joins with District Attorney Joyce Smith in supporting increased pay for jury service. The right to a jury of one’s peers is at the core of our justice system. However, inadequate compensation imposes significant financial hardship for many who would serve on petit or grand juries, negatively impacting the diversity of juries here in Nassau County and elsewhere throughout New York State, as income inequality is strongly correlated with race and ethnicity. Economic hardship should never deter people from serving on juries. The Legal Aid Society agrees with the District Attorney’s Office that higher compensation for jury service will help ensure that jury pools are more reflective of the communities they are serving, and help the justice system achieve more diverse, inclusive and fair juries.” Bishop Lionel Harvey, Pastor of The First Baptist Cathedral of Westbury said,

“In order to maintain the integrity of the jury process, it is imperative that the level of compensation be commensurate with the important task the jurors are asked to perform. Diversity is important to ensure the process is fair and representative of All the people. Addressing the financial burden that would exclude prospective jurors from fulfilling their civic duty is long overdue and will prove to provide fairness and perspective.” Stephen Drummond, Esq., of Drummond & Squillace, PLLC and Hofstra Law School said, “An increase in jurors’ compensation undoubtedly will serve the public’s interest as it will help ease the hardship, personal sacrifices that jurors experience and it will encourage a more inclusive and diverse panel of potential jurors. It is also the right step in seeking to fairly compensate jurors for the invaluable service they provide to this nation’s system of justice.” Smith submitted draft legislation to raise New York’s juror pay to $120 per day to lawmakers and Governor Hochul. —Submitted by the office of the Nassau County District Attorney

County Legislature Passes Cuts To Almost $100 Million In County Fees The Nassau County Legislature recently passed a bill to cut almost $100 million in county fees incurred by Nassau residents. This money will be made up with tens of millions of dollars of excess sales tax revenue over the projected sales tax revenue in the county budget. The legislation was introduced by the Majority on Sept. 13 and passed unanimously through Legislative Committees. Recently, the Majority attempted to pass

the bill, but it was defeated 10-8 along party lines, with all minority legislators voting against. Legislator Kopel was absent due to religious observance, Legislator Lafazan abstained from the vote. Twelve votes were needed to advance the legislation, due to a procedural motion made by members of the Democratic Minority Caucus. The most recent vote passed 11-8 with all 8 Minority legislators abstaining.

Reports show that for this year’s budget the county is projected to take in $300 million more than the administration projected. In comparison to 2019, before the pandemic, this year the county will take in $130 million more in sales tax revenue than in 2019. The fees that would be eliminated or reduced are: Tax Map Verification Fee: Currently, this $350 fee is charged by the Assessor for the verification of the section,

block and lot information contained in any deeds, mortgages or satisfactions, or any modifications or consolidations that are presented for recording. New fee under majority passed bill: Zero Recording Fee: Currently, this $300 fee is charged by the county for the recording and indexing of deeds, mortgages, “other instruments”, liens, or statutory notices of liens and for the satisfaction or cancellation of a lien or statutory

notice of a lien. It also applies to corrections of such documents that would need to be re-indexed. New fee under majority passed bill: $50 Public Safety Fee: Currently, a $55 fee is assessed on traffic and camera violations issued on or after Jan. 2, 2017. New fee under majority passed bill: Zero —Submitted by the Nassau County Legislature

Embracing Change Take a walk down the street and you can’t miss it: the world itself seems to be changing color as the leaves on the trees take on shades of orange, yellow and red. The transformation outdoors reflects an inner feeling of newness, a fresh start. With the month of holidays behind us but not forgotten and the autumn season crackling all around us, we have finally jumped into the new year with both feet. We’re ready for the next adventure. In our fast-paced, mobile society, people are constantly on the move. We go from one place to another, traveling by land, sea and air, even through space (and cyberspace). We seek change and novelty—new homes, new careers, new experiences. But where are we going and what are we really looking for? And how do we react when change is demanded of us although

An individual leaf has a destiny— perhaps to give shelter to a tiny worm— then, certainly each one of us has our own personal mission. In order to discover what that special task is, we should strive to face newness with courage, flexibility, and hope, trusting that our destination will become known to us as our lives unfold. Sometimes it is the right thing to let go of the past; realizing that we are not limited by our past, the economy, or what we have been told we can or can’t do. We are only limited by our own credence. Our thoughts drive our belief system. So be proactive and be open to renew your mind to new ideas. Be open for change; be open for the new things that our Creator has in store for each and every one of us and embrace in the wind of change.

Twain’s words: “The only person who likes change is a wet baby.” One reason people don’t like change is because they get complacent with their comfort zone where they feel safe and familiar. Yet, if we are not willing to accept changes, we may stay stagnant instead of growing and moving forward to our better potential future. We have to change in order to flourish and prosper. When we refuse change, we limit our options. That is why it’s crucial to stay flexible and be willing to adapt in order to embrace the new things. The Baal Shem Tov, who sparked the Chassidic movement in the 18th century, taught that when a leaf falls from a tree, it has been decreed from heaven that this leaf would fall at this exact spot at this particular

Life Aboard A Whaling Ship “For God’s sake, be economical with your lamps and candles! not a gallon you burn, but at least one drop of man’s blood was spilled for it.” —Herman Melville, Moby-Dick The year was 1852 and a whaling ship leaves Sag Harbor for a scheduled twoyear journey with a goal of securing 2,000 barrels of whale oil. One year passes, as the masthead sentinel continues to scan the vast Pacific for any sign of whale tails, the spout or a vapor plume caused by the whale’s breath. Suddenly, he spots the prey. Being an experienced seaman, he identifies it as the prized sperm whale. He screams the words the weary crew of whalemen have waited weeks to hear. “Thar she blows.” Questions and commands come from the deck. “Where away? “Two points on the weather bow.” “How far off?” “A mile and a half!” Men jump to their feet.

The strips are pulled onto the deck and cut into smaller slices the size of books. The treacherous deck is slippery with pools of blood and water with men fighting to balance themselves to avoid being thrown overboard. The blubber pieces are tossed into “tryworks” or huge iron pots set in a brick stove. The blubber is cooked until oil is extracted, then cooled and placed in casks to be stored in the bottom of the ship. The crew then works on the head matter removing the valuable spermaceti. With the whale cleaned out and the oil stored, the crew scrubs the deck fighting off the odor of smoked blubber. Hours later, the lookouts leave the crew and return to the mast to scan the sea for the next whale.

My car has a feature where you can set the cruise control to automatically adjust the speed based in the car in front of you. And the lane assist program keeps you in the lane you are traveling in. So for 20 minutes I didn’t touch the gas pedal or brake or even the steering wheel. My car stopped and started and followed the traffic all that time. It was the closest I’ve ever gotten to a self-driving car. And it was great. Normally I don’t get too crazy when it comes to traffic.

This series kicked-off on Monday, Sept. 20 at 7 p.m. via Zoom with the “K-12 Community and Resilience Parent Workshop” followed by a live Q&A session. This workshop was opened by Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction Anthony Lubrano, and led by Steve Chassman, LCSW CASAC, Executive Director of the Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc. who has established a long-standing relationship with the Hicksville School District. He focused his workshop on ways to support

children in coping with stress and challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has made a major impact on our lives, and so many adults and students are facing challenges that can be stressful and overwhelming, which has caused strong emotions in adults and children. As a result, some people feel isolated and lonely, which can increase stress and anxiety. Chassman taught parents and community members ways to cope with stress in healthy ways that will make adults, children, and those around them become more resilient.

The Glen Cove City School District recently welcomed hundreds of fans, community members and alumni to enjoy the 2021 homecoming parade, carnival and football game. The day-long celebration began with representatives from all grade levels, accompanied by the Glen Cove High School marching band. The parade trail saw students holding banners and marching in order of their respective schools and extracurricular activities. The carnival began shortly after, and students of all

ages enjoyed carnival rides, games, and classic carnival food and beverages with family and friends. Performances by the drumline, varsity cheerleaders, band and kickline were featured at halftime, as was the crowning of homecoming king and queen. The day’s celebration reached its pinnacle with the statement-making win of the Glen Cove High School varsity football team over Roslyn High School by the miraculous score of 68-29. —Submitted by Glen Cove School District

SECOND-GRADERS GET CREATIVE WITH PROJECT BASED STEM LEARNING Brian Agostini, a second-grade teacher at Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School in Oyster Bay, is introducing his students to Project Based Learning through STEM with The Box Challenge. Through Project Based Learning, students actively explore a real-world challenge. Second-graders were divided into pairs or small groups and challenged with creating something new using a cardboard box. Students had to come up with a plan of what to make, then decide what items to “buy” from the Maker Space cart while staying within

a budget. The cart is full of materials including string, beads, fabric and pipe cleaners. The challenge is a fun way for students to turn trash into treasure, while employing critical thinking, collaboration and ingenuity. —Submitted by Oyster Bay-East Norwich Central School District Students had to come up with a plan of what to make, then decide what items to “buy” from the Maker Space cart while staying within a budget.

The East Williston School District has opened the doors to North Side Elementary School’s new Innovation Lab. In this new space, Innovation Lab teacher Henry Kupstas will lead STEAM lessons as part of the Project Lead the Way launch program as well as enrichment activities for North Side students. Designed to stimulate and inspire imagination and creative thinking, in the Innovation Lab personalized learning will saturate the activities conducted in the lab as students explore their growth mindsets by experimenting and participating in the engineering design process.

North Side’s Innovation Lab, which is open to all grade K-4 students, will feature high-tech equipment including a 3D printer, as well as ensure students are balancing digital tools with items such as Keva blocks, Legos, cardboard, recycled materials and other items as they construct their original ideas. First-grade students working in the Innovation Lab constructed houses to withstand a wind storm to keep the three little pigs safe. With some success and some failures, students learned the most important thing is the process. —Submitted by East Williston School District

SPELLMAN HV CLEAN TECH COMPETITION WINNER South High senior Harrison Weinberg won second place in the 2021 Spellman HV Clean Tech Competition for his research and design of a model buoy system that can identify patches of oil and gas on the surface of water using a UV light intensity sensor. Harrison’s project, “Engineering of a Cheap Buoy Used for the Detection of Oil in the Marine Environment,” won second place in the low-cost category of the international competition. His

submission included a prototype that he designed, engineered, and tested in science research class during the 2020–21 school year. His goal was to create an easy-to-use, low-cost system that could be utilized for monitoring oil pollution in local waters. His science research teacher was Dr. Carol Hersh. The theme of this year’s Spellman HV Clean Tech Competition was “Preserving Planet Earth.” Participants were challenged to identify a specific

problem that impacts the environment, research and describe the scale of the problem, analyze the causes, and design a solution using clean technology. —Submitted by Great Neck Public Schools South High student Harrison Weinberg with his prototype, which won second place in the Spellman HV Clean Tech Competition.

Blind Teacher Takes Adversity To The Mat National Wrestling Hall of Fame honors Farmingdale’s Jim Hughes BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

restling is a sport that requires an inordinate amount of fortitude, physical and inner strength to vanquish an opponent that’s often your equal in terms of weight class. To that end, the National Wrestling Hall of Fame annually presents Medals of Courage to wrestlers who have overcome insurmountable challenges. This year, the Upstate New York chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame honored Farmingdale high school social studies teacher Jim Hughes with this prestigious award. The awards ceremony was held on Sept. 19 at the DoubleTree Hotel in East Syracuse. It was a particularly moving honor given that Hughes has been visually impaired since the age of three and wrestling became an outlet that helped shape him on and off the mat. “It was about 200 people and it was pretty intense,” Hughes explained. “You had wrestlers there from Ohio State and coaches who really had accomplished a lot in wrestling, so to be around that kind of greatness was pretty humbling. I was introduced by my sister. We got to give our own speeches. I was a little nervous going in, but once I got up there, my comfort level was pretty good because it was such a loving and supportive audience that there was no reason to fear.” Next year marks 30 years that Hughes has been an AP U.S. History instructor at Farmingdale High School. Along the way, he’s become a highly decorated educator. In 2006, the National Museum of Education recognized him as the Freida J. Reily Award winner, given to “an American teacher who overcomes adversity or makes an enormous sacrifice to impact students positively.” Along the way, he’s also served as vice president of the Farmingdale Federation of Teachers, became a Lions Club member, chaperoned wrestling tournaments and been a moderator of numerous clubs at Farmingdale High School. It’s a life this father of three gratefully leads thanks to the chance the district took on him when he came looking for a full-time position after graduating from SUNY Binghampton. “When I decided to go into teaching, my college professors, parents and many other people thought I was

I leaned back “Our interesting family dynamic and thanked them. They looked at helped me become who I am,” he said.

“I wasn’t coddled, which is the best way to say it. We had glaucoma in the family. Out of the five kids, only one of them is 20/20. Blindness or visual impairment was just part of the norm, so there was no real special treatment. If you’re going to go out and play football with the boys, you better not come home hurt.” Hughes started wrestling in ninth grade while attending the Lavelle School for the Blind in the Bronx as an alternative to having to take physical education class. It was a sport he naturally took to, having two older brothers that he was constantly roughhousing with. And while he had to work hard on getting better (“Quite frankly I wasn’t very good when I started out,”) by his sophomore year, his skill level had considerably risen. For Hughes, clicking with the sport had plenty to do with the sport’s nuances. “Wrestling’s appeal has a lot to do with the competitive nature of it,” he said. “With wrestling, there are no real modifications. It’s a blind sport versus being a sighted sport. Once you get in the starting position, which is palmon-palm, it’s either being aggressive and making that first move or reacting to theirs. The physical contact is there, so a lot of it has to do with skills and strength as well, along with physical awareness. There are not that many adaptations or modifications that need to be made to be a wrestler who happens to have a visual impairment.” Teaching has afforded Hughes to engage in two of his favorite pasttimes—history and working with young people. It’s a skill set that’s extended to a decade-long practice of giving motivational speeches or talks as he calls them. “I was starting to speak to different groups be it the PTA, a library group or friends of mine who work for Oracle or other companies,” he said “I have one disability but I also have Ménierè’s disease, so I started going deaf as well about 15 years ago. It was definitely scary when I started losing my hearing. What I do is focus on a gamer framework—being grateful, accepting, motivated, enjoying life and being confident all at the same time.” What did you think of this article?

ROSLYN LEGAL NOTICE PUBLIC HEARING OF THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS INCORPORATED VILLAGE OF ROSLYN #02111 PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Zoning Board of Appeals of the Incorporated Village of Roslyn will conduct a Public Meeting on November 1, 2021 at 7:00 p.m. by way of *video-conference or tele-conference only as follows: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82670676643?pwd=RmxLc1FwMWJTd2lLMjZZUzNWSW9rZz09 To consider the following: Case No. 1706 Kevin Dursunyan 18 - 20 Roosevelt Avenue Sec. 20 Block: A Lot(s): 112 & 113 Zone: R-C, HDB Scope: Proposed build-out of existing new building filed and approved as a “vanilla box”. The proposed use is for a “Low-Traffic Generating Business” that has been represented to function as a one-on-one virtual reality golf training center. The use is a “Special Use” that shall require authorization by the Village Board of Trustees in accordance with Article 1, Section 470-12C. (2). The current plan has no legal on-site parking so a variance from the requirements of Article III, Section 470-22 A. shall be required to legalize the use. The village code does not contain a specific parking category for “court type” uses so an occupancy and required parking calculation needs to be established. It is my recommendation based upon actual occupancies of similar facilities that the allocation of 1 car per every 2 people and 1 car for every employee be utilized. I calculated occupancy for this facility as follows: First Floor 6 simulator rooms @ 1.5 persons = 9 people 400 sf retail area @ 1 person/200sf = 2 people Second floor 1 Fitting Bay @ 1.5 persons = 1.5 people

1 Executive Bay @ 1.5 persons = 1.5 people 1 Simulator @ 1.5 persons = 1.5 people 1,334 sf Short Game @ 1 person/200sf = 7.0 people Bar Lounge Area 21 seats = 21 people Total patrons = 43.5 people (use 44) Total employees = 8.0 people Total Maximum Occupancy = 52 people Required parking= 44 / 2 = 22 cars + 8/1 = 8 = 30 cars required No exterior changes or signage was submitted so approval from the Historic District Board shall not be required. Denied for the following reason(s): Proposed use is a Special Use in the zoning district that requires authorization by the Village Board of Trustees Relief is required for insufficient off-street parking by The Zoning Board At the aforesaid time and place, all interested persons will be given an opportunity to be heard.

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direction but always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 26 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

become more pronounced. It baffles you how those who have lived around you for so long can have a completely different idea about what’s appropriate, helpful or effective. This doesn’t have to be a problem though. It’s only frustrating if you try to control it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Take an inventory. Determine how a relationship is helping you and how it hurts you. Even very pleasurable and joyful relationships have their painful aspects. Indeed, the effort and sacrifice you are willing to endure for a relationship is a measure of love and the tangible evidence of a bond’s significance.

At the hairdresser's Solution: 26 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The best thing to learn is how to learn. Mentor relationships are bursting with potential and good fortune this week. The teacher is not superior to the student, just further along in a particular journey of knowledge. Guided by the needs of the situation, the teacher will learn as much, if not more, than the student. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re highly motivated, but don’t sign up for too much this week. Being too busy is counterproductive because you also need to be able to assimilate what you’re learning, act on the opportunities that come together and absorb what you’re experiencing. So dive into the pool -- not the ocean.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your interests are numerous and varied, which makes you immune to plagues of narrow-mindedness. You’ll give a little time in a few different directions today. You’re not scattered; you’re bringing together elements that wouldn’t be combined were it not for your eclectic taste. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You won’t get it done your way today, but you’ll get it done a way, and that’s good enough to get to the next step. For a few rounds, your advancement will depend on your willingness to compromise. That will change in the weeks to come though, and you’ll soon be able to call the shots that matter to you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Once upon a time you gazed longingly toward distant possibilities. Put a pin in that distant vision and look only at the next three steps. Then narrow the focus further to the one action you can control -- the work happening now. You’ll draw that shimmering future to you sooner than you thought possible. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). From where you stand, it is impossible to see the entire scope of what is relevant, but you can trust that you are being led along a path. It will occur to you to share something you didn’t plan to share. Being bold enough to act on what you’re feeling will work out well for all. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The breakthrough comes disguised. It looks like a failed attempt, feels like a loss and drapes like a robe of embarrassment. It’s really the clearing on which your ensuing incarnation will be built. Take up your own side. These are lessons -- layers of learning. They do not define you; they just inform your next moves. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Both social and solar circles follow principles of attraction. Stay aware of what people want. You’ll observe best because you release your assumptions and let go of wishing the desires of others followed your preferences. You will follow where their attention flows and from there, the world will open up to you.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Your daily rituals will be overhauled in the next 12 weeks as you settle into habits of efficiency and strength. You’ll realize who you need to be to make a dream come true. Bit by bit you’ll shape yourself into the new version. The ones you meet while sharing your talents will figure into your big picture. Someone you help will rise to accomplishment, which will fortify you more than if you’d done it yourself. COPYRIGHT 2021 CREATORS.COM

and light themselves up. That’s what I do. I light myself on fire so people can see me for miles and they can feel it. That fire is aspiration. I’ve aspired, since I can remember, to be more than a dishwasher, a guitar player or a person. I aspire to be a sentient being that makes a difference on this planet. It just so happens that I get to do it with a guitar.” To comment on this story, email dgilderubio@antonnews.com

That’s what this is about.” Like Supernatural before it, Blessings and Miracles has an eclectic array of talent contributing to the proceedings. Whereas Santana was joined by Eric Clapton, Wyclef Jean, Lauryn Hill, Dave Matthews and CeeLo Green on the first go-round, this batch of 15 songs finds Chris Stapleton, Corey Glover, Steve Winwood and Kirk Hammett contributing. An appearance by Santana’s longtime friend Chick Corea also marked the late jazz legend’s last studio recording. The biggest difference was that COVID-19 circumstances demanded remote creativity, a factor that didn’t faze Santana at all. “The procedure for me is very simple—I close my eyes, hear [who I’m playing with] and [they’re] right next to me,” he said. “That’s how I function. Where I am, being 74, my imagination is infinitely more intense, so I can just close my eyes and I’m right next to [whoever I’m recording with]. I know not to step on their voice, honor their space and know when to come in. How much passion, emotion and energy to put in there to make it real. It’s such a phenomenon to work with artists and we have yet to shake hands or be in the same room, but that didn’t stop us.” The one cut recorded in person was “America For Sale,” a cut left over from a 49-song/10-day recording session the 74-year-old musician cut for 2019’s Rick Rubin-produced Africa Speaks, a fusion of rock, Latin music and jazz that was Santana’s prior project. This song found him working alongside Metallica’s Hammett and Death Angel vocalist Marc Osegueda and he was happy to dust it off for the new record. “We recorded this live with my band in San Raquel,” he recalled. ““The solos—I call them dueling banjos— with Kirk Hammett and myself were live. We were looking at each other’s eyes, fingers and had fun. We were having a conversation because real musicians don’t compare or compete. Real musicians just complement and don’t compare.” Starting out with a handful of concert dates, Santana was asked whether he was ready to get back on the touring circuit and what fans can expect when they come out to see him play. “I knew that it was going to be

breathing and exercises. What I learned was balance, equilibrium and confidence. I’m ready. At this particular point in my life, I can actually feel that I’m one with each person. I feel people need a spiritual boost, like a dog sheds water. We’ve got to ward off and shake off darkness and the feeling of being victims or being angry. We need to get back to the purity and innocence that we have inside because that’s who we really are. I remember in the Vietnam days, there used to be monks who would pour gasoline over themselves

Revisiting Santana’s Early Works BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

n the 52 years since Carlos Santana released 1969’s Santana, the septuagenarian guitarist has been constantly creating with myriad band lineups. This year finds the 74-yearold Rock & Roll Hall of Famer releasing Blessings and Miracles, his twenty-sixth studio outing. While the classic Santana lineup featured guitarists Santana and Neal Schon, keyboardist/vocalist Gregg Rolie, percussionist Michael Carabello and drummer Michael Shrieve, (which found the quintet reuniting for 2016’s Santana IV), the current band include longtime bassist Benny Rietveld (1990-1992; 1997-present) and percussionist Karl Perazzo (1991-present) along with the guitarist’s drummer wife Cindy Blackman Santana (2015-present). With such a deep catalog, highlighted are the quartet of albums featuring the classic line-up that set the tone for Santana in subsequent decades.

Santana

(Columbia) [1969] The self-titled debut that introduced Santana to the world featured the hit “Evil Ways,” which was originally on a 1967 album by jazz percussionist Willie Bobo. Santana also showcased the integral part percussion played in the group’s overall sound thanks to a pounding reading of a Babatunde Olatunji instrumental that was renamed “Jingo” and the original “Soul Sacrifice,” whose live version became a Woodstock highlight.

Abraxas

(CBS) [1970] Fresh off its triumph at Woodstock, Santana went on to record a sophomore album that became a cornerstone of their canon and was later deemed “culturally, historically, or artistically relevant” by the National Recording Registry in 2016. And while the radio hits on this are substantial and include covers of Fleetwood Mac (“Black Magic Woman”), Gabor Szabo (“Gypsy Queen”) and Tito Puente (“Oye Como Va”), there are other worthy deeper cuts including the unrelenting instrumental “Incident at Neshabur” and its sublimely gorgeous sister “Samba Pa Ti.”

Santana III

(Columbia) [1971] This outing was the first to showcase a then-17-year-old guitarist Neal Schon after he’d been invited to join the band by the band namesake after Rolie and Shrieve brought him around to Wally Heider Studios where the group was recording. Schon quickly proved himself on this nine-song collection, which features radio staples “Everybody’s Everything,” a locomotive rumba spiked by the six-string prodigy’s fiery solo and “No One To Depend On,” a Latin shuffle punctuated by the call and response of both guitarists and yet another Schon solo.

Caravanserai

(Columbia) [1973] For these 10 songs, Carlos Santana created more of a jazz-rock sound infused by Afro-Cuban rhythms that had Columbia Records president Clive Davis telling Santana that he was committing “career suicide” after Davis finished listening to it. That said, Santana’s fourth studio album is considered a seminal creative shift in what the band was doing thanks to cuts like a hypnotic reworking of Antonio Carlos Jobim’s “Stone Flower,” the percussive/ organ tour de force of the Rolie/ Santana/Shrieve composition “Just In Time to See the Sun” and the Santana/ Schon collaboration “All the Love of the Universe” that is defined by unrefined optimism and odd time changes.
