Trois Jours Clothing Boutique Celebrates 50 Years

A story of community and fashion

JENNIFER

Trois Jours Clothing Boutique sits among local and inviting businesses in Sea Cliff’s downtown, situated right on the water. Sea Cliff Avenue reminds everyone who walks down it how a small village should feel, with residents greeting each other as they pass by. And that feeling was just as strong on one of the first days of fall, a time that Marian Lippiello, the owner of Trois Jours Clothing Boutique, is celebrating 50 years in business.

“Sea Cliff is a fine, little town,” Lippiello said.

It’s currently a busy time for Trois Jours, as fall has just begun. A typical day for Lippiello looks like opening boxes of new attire, pricing it and steaming it. All on her own, Lippiello does the buying, the merchandising, the window displays and assisting customers as they shop. Luckily, it’s usually one person at a time who will received a personal shopper treatment from Lippiello.

“I started in 1972 in Locust Valley, and that store was called Match Box,” Lippiello said. “I had a childhood friend, my best friend, and I had left high school a little earlier and I went to merchandising school in the city. And all of a sudden her father calls and says there’s a store for sale in Locust Valley. I think it would be great for you girls to get it.”

Though nervous, the pair of friends saw it as a great opportunity. In order to acquire the shop, they had to buy the name of the store and their fathers had to co-sign the loan. But just because their fathers cosigned the loan, the new business owners made it clear they were to have no say in how they ran the store, which they eventually paid the loan back on.

“I had that store for 18 years and there was a recession at the time, and I was advised to close,” Lippiello said. “People were so upset that I closed that I opened up across the street, by a nail salon. And that’s where Trois Jour came in to be, because I was only open Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and trois jour means three days in French.”

Working with a new partner, they operated a concession at another beauty parlor and the boutique in Locust Valley.

Trois Jours was such a success, that Lip piello moved it to a more traffic-heavy spot in Locust Valley on the corner of Birch Hill Road, where the railroad tracks are. It stayed

there for 20 years, eventually being run only by Lippiello when her partner retired.

“I’ve been on my own since 2010,” Lippiello said. “In 2018 I lost my lease and I came to Sea Cliff because I co-own the consignment store Deja Vu one door over. This store came about and I fixed it up, and here I am. It’s been ‘72 to 2022.”

Through those years, Lippiello has gained loyal shoppers who have been regulars for 40 to 45 years. Customers who come through the door may come to browse, but what they can really get out of shopping at Trois Jours is being able to wait in the dress ing room while having event, business or casual attire picked out by someone who’s been in the industry their whole lifetime.

And the fact that Lippiello’s father was a tailor helps, as she’s inherited the talent of fitting people.

“My clientele base now is 40 to 80,” Lippiello said. “I do have younger ones, like some of my customer’s daughters. The things I have here are very eclectic. I have a lot of different looks. So once you come in, I’ll work with you. And if you just happen to walk in here, you wouldn’t know what to pick, so I work very closely with you, if you give me the time.”

Lippiello designs the pieces found at Trois Jour as “classic with an edge.”

“People have come in and told me that they have re-done their closets, and they have things from me from 20 years ago that they still wear, 30-years-ago that they still wear,” Lippiello said. “And they’ll say ‘your things just stay in style and I can still wear them.’”

The difference between shopping online or at the mall, instead of going to a boutique like Trois Jours, is that shoppers will not receive a personable shopping experience.

“I never sell anything if it doesn’t look good on someone,” Lippiello said. “I’m the

first person to say, take it off, even if they like it. I try to convince them that it’s not right or there’s something better. I’d rather them walk out with nothing then walk out with something they’ll hang in their closet and they’ll think of this store and not be happy... I don’t carry any major brands. I carry small. I’m always looking for new designers and most importantly the quality and the fit... I think just being able to work with the customer is the best thing about having a small shop. And you get to know them. They become your friends... I have some clients that I’ve known their kids since they were two and now they’re 40.” But 50 years in business has not been easy, surviving four recessions and a pandemic.

During the pandemic, what helped keep the business afloat was designer cotton masks.

“Right when the pandemic started, someone came in and started selling me these masks that were hand-made, cotton, really nice,” Lippiello said. “Once we shut

down, I put a rod in the window and hung them on the clothes line. I put a lot of stuff in the window and had a sign that you could window shop, and call me, and I’ll meet you and come outside if you see anything. I got so many calls about these masks.”

At one point, Lippiello was selling the masks at the door, as so many people were walking the streets of Sea Cliff Avenue just to get out of the house.

“I just kept calling this girl to get more masks and she would stick them in my door slot,” Lippiello said. “Besides keeping me from going insane and staying home, it helped to generate a little bit... I mean they were $10. But, a lot of people found out about this shop.”

It’s the type of job Lippiello loves, as she’s been doing it her whole life. Fifty years later, and she still enjoys operating her boutique.

Trois Jours Clothing Boutique, located at 318 Sea Cliff Ave., will be celebrating 50 years in business on Friday, Nov. 4 from 2 to 8 p.m. with small bites and bubbly.

Glen Cove Enters Into Agreement With Bus Patrol America To Record Violations

Two council members express hesitation

JENNIFER

At the Sept. 27 Glen Cove City Council meeting, the city, under Resolution 6-D on the agenda, officially entered into an agreement with Bus Patrol America, LLC to install and operate photo violation monitoring systems on school buses to record violations.

The City Council’s vote in favor of the agreement comes after a Special City Council meeting held mid-June that con sisted of a public hearing and a resolution of the adoption of a School Bus Photo Violation Monitoring System to the Code of Ordinances.

And while all the members of the City Council seemed to be in agreement of recording drivers who do not stop when school buses are letting off children, Councilwoman Danielle Fugazy Scagliola and Councilman Kevin Maccarone ex pressed hesitation to enter into the agreement just yet, as the contract with Nassau County has not yet been complete.

“I would like to table [Resolution] 6-D because without the contract with Nassau County, I feel concerned about entering into the agreement without understanding the terms,” Councilwoman Fugazy Sca gliola said. “I think I’ve made it clear that I care about this and I care about the safety of our kids, but I’m not under the opinion that anything is better than nothing. I want to make sure we’re getting the right deal. We just have no insight into that at all.”

She then made a motion to table Resolution 6-D. Councilman Maccarone seconded the motion.

City of Glen Cove Mayor Pam Panzenbeck explained that the resolution would allow her to begin the process that would eventually lead to the installation of the cameras, and that she would not just enter into a contract.

The City Attorney Tip Henderson was asked for his input at the meeting.

“The contract that’s on the table is a contract between the City of Glen Cove and Bus Patrol,” Henderson said. “Bus Patrol has been in negotiation with the county to adjudicate those tickets that might be issued for people passing stopped school buses... the county has primary jurisdiction over adjudicating these tickets, the same with red light tickets. That has not been finalized yet. But the contract between us and Bus Patrol is in final form. It’s been signed by Bus Patrol. It provides for the funds that are generated by the program to be split 55 percent to the city and 45 percent to Bus Patrol.

How those monies that are generated by the tickets are shared with the county is the thing that Councilwoman Fugazy Scagliola is concerned about. But it really is not a direct concern of ours.”

Henderson went on to explain that if Nassau County does not work out a deal or contract with Bus Patrol with how the tickets will be adjudicated, then the program will not go forward. And the City of Glen Cove is not the only municipality launching this program; as North Hempstead and the Town of Oyster Bay are also making a determination on how the tickets will be adjudicated with the county. While the program is likely to go through, on the off chance that it doesn’t, Glen Cove would either set up its own adjudication program or the program would not go forward. Overall, there is no risk to the city to go forward with the contract, Henderson explained.

“What you’re saying is obviously correct that this is just an agreement between us and Bus Patrol, but I am hesitant to sign an agreement with Bus Patrol and then find out in some way that the revenue share for us is minimal,” Councilwoman Fugazy Scagliola said. “Our people are going to be essentially tapped. I do agree with the compliance. I have four kids who get on buses every day... but there’s a balance of how much we’re going to irritate people with this.”

Councilwoman Fugazy Scagliola then asked Henderson if the 55 percent that the city receives is definitive, and if Bus Patrol and the county would determine how they

would split their monies.

“I can’t tell you what Bus Patrol would try to work out with the county,” Henderson said. “But if it impacts our deal with Bus Patrol, they have to come back to us and they have to get our approval to amend our deal.”

The harm in waiting to see an agreement between Bus Patrol and the county before signing the contract, Henderson also explained, is that it would delay a program that has already taken months to pass. If the program could move forward, Bus Patrol could begin installing cameras on the buses, and in the first month of the program, violators who pass stopped school buses would receive warnings, not tickets.

And even if Bus Patrol installed the cameras, and the City of Glen Cove decided to cancel the program because it found that the county wanted to take more than the city found acceptable, it would all be on Bus Patrol and not the city, Henderson said.

Councilwoman Fugazy Scagliola was not convinced that the city should go ahead with signing the contract without seeing the contract with the county, but she voted in favor of Resolution 6-D because she supported the favor. Councilman Maccarone did not vote in favor of the program because he wanted to see what the county would do. All other members of the council and Mayor Panzenbeck voted in favor of the resolution.

As previously reported by the Glen Cove Oyster Bay Record Pilot:

According to the New York State Depart-

ment of Motor Vehicles, school buses are unlike other vehicles because they take longer to stop and need more room to maneuver. They also carry school children. When drivers encounter a bus, the DMV says drivers should slow down because school buses make frequent stops. School buses are also required by law to stop at rail crossings. Drivers should also be alert for children and parents that may be waiting at a school bus or running to catch the bus before it departs.

Drivers must stop at least 20 feet away from the bus. And before moving the vehicle, drivers should be extra careful as children may be walking in front of, behind or on the side of the bus.

Passing a school bus while it’s stopped for the purpose of dropping off or picking up passengers, indicated by flashing red lights on the school bus’s stop sign, results in legal and financial consequences for the vehicle operators.

On first conviction, the driver can receive a fine between $250 and $400 and/or up to 30 days in jail; the second conviction within three years can result in a fine of $600 to $750 and/or up to 180 days in jail and the third conviction, or more, within three years can result in a fine of $750 to $1,00 and/or up to 180 days in jail. Five points will be added to the driver’s record with each conviction.

To catch more violators in the act, a law was passed in 2019 that authorized school districts and municipalities to use cameras on school buses.

Violations from these cameras are $250 for the first offense, $275 for the second offense within 18 months and $300 for the third or more violation within 18 months.

“I am supportive of any measure that increases student safety,” Glen Cove City School District Superintendent Dr. Maria Rianna said.

Update on overnight commercial vehicle parking regulations:

Last month, the Glen Cove Oyster Bay Record Pilot reported on a hearing held by the Glen Cove City Council that would close a loophole in the enforcement of pre venting commercial vehicles from being parked in residential streets and driveways overnight. It was confirmed that the City Council did indeed close the public hear ing at the Aug. 23 City Council meeting and voted in favor of enforcing a law that has been on the books for 20 years but has not been enforceable because of a loophole. Glen Cove residents could receive a ticket if they park a commercial vehicle in their driveway or on the street overnight. But residents can park their commercial vehi cles in their garages.

The Sept. 27 City Council meeting was the last of the summer session. There will now be two Pre-Council meetings and two City Council meetings a month. (Photo by Jennifer Corr)

Most hardworking Americans dream about retirement, but the path to get there can be less than clear. For those relatively new to the workforce, the idea of retiring may feel distant and abstract. And they’re not the only ones with questions. Even people who are only a few years from retirement are often perplexed by the decisions they face. While everyone’s journey is different, I know from my years of experience as a nancial advisor that there are common themes when it comes to questions about retirement.

For example, those who just started their careers and have decades before retirement may wonder:

• “With all my current financial priorities, why should I worry about saving money for retirement?”

discretionary income beyond that, you may want to save it in a Roth IRA, which could help you build retirement savings with aftertax dollars and create potentially tax-free income in the future.

On the other hand, if retirement is in your near future, you may be pondering these questions:

• “Should I pay off my home mortgage early?”

assumptions based on an appropriate retirement date.

• “Will Medicare cover my health care costs in retirement?”

The sooner you start saving for retirement, the greater the opportunity for your money to grow. If you are in your twenties or thirties, you may not have as many assets as those who have been in the workforce for decades. What you do have is time, and that can be a powerful ally. Time allows you to take full advantage of the opportunity to compound growth in your investments. Even modest investment amounts that have years to potentially grow can make a signi cant difference in your retirement savings.

Paying off your mortgage may seem like a great idea, and if you’re like a lot of near retirees, the prospect of eliminating debt and reducing your monthly expenses may be appealing. That said, there are a variety of factors to consider. One of the biggest is the cost and potential tax consequences of moving a large sum of money out of an existing investment in order to pay off the balance of your mortgage. If the interest rate you pay on your mortgage is low, you may want to keep that money invested and continue making mortgage payments.

• “How much of my paycheck should I save

A reasonable goal is to save 10 percent of your pre-tax income in retirement savings vehicles. If you have the option, strongly consider directing a portion from your paycheck to a 401(k) or another workplace savings plan. If your employer offers a matching contribution, even better. That’s essentially “free money” that you don’t want to miss out on. If you have additional

Also, holding a mortgage is key to many Americans’ tax strategy because the interest paid could potentially be tax deductible. If mortgage interest is part of your tax strategy, consult with your tax professional before making the decision to own your home outright.

Health care is one of the largest expenses most retirees incur in their later years, and Medicare only covers a portion of heath care expenses. It is broken up into different parts. Part A is offered at no cost, but mainly covers only expenses related to hospitalization. Part B requires a monthly premium, but makes medical services such as care from a doctor or tests more affordable. Part C is an alternative type of Medicare coverage provided through private insurers, at a cost. Part D is a prescription program that helps reduce the price of drugs. Medicare Supplement coverage is another form of coverage that charges a premium, but helps reduce outof-pocket medical expenses.

The answer to this question will depend on your retirement dreams and current nancial situation. The variables that come into play include the amount of money you’ll need to pay to cover your expenses each year and other sources of income you have (such as a pension or Social Security).

When you retire, you’ll need to weigh the value of delaying Social Security against the cost of taking money out of your personal savings to make up the difference.

Italian Americans In New York Politics, Part A

JOSEPH

Last spring, Anton Media Group published an article on Irish-American politicians in 20th-century New York. With Columbus Day around the corner, let’s do the same with Italian Americans.

This ethnic group holds a unique place in New York politics. Since the 1930s, New York has been the center of progressive culture and politics in America. Of the metropolitan area’s myriad ethnic, racial and religious groups, only Italian-Americans display strong conservative leanings. As such, New York has seen Italian-American pols as spokesmen for both sides of the ideological spectrum.

As with Irish Americans, Italians have produced many a colorful and entertaining figure on the New York stage. As with Daniel Patrick Moynihan, their numbers have also seen such penetrating observers of the American scene as Antonin Scalia and Mario Cuomo.

Irish politics hit the ground with Jimmy Walker, mayor of New York City during the Roaring Twenties. A successor was the equally charismatic Fiorello LaGuardia.

“The Little Flower” was the product of an Italian-Jewish union. A native of Greenwich Village, La Guardia was first a New York City alderman then a congressman for the East Harlem congressional district.

In Congress, LaGuardia built a record as a progressive, opposing, for instance, the 1924 Immigration bill, which turned off the spigot to European immigration, while supporting federal anti-lynching legislation.

LaGuardia was elected mayor in 1933. He served for 12 years, dying in office in 1945.

The man remained a reformer. He booted such gangsters as Frank Costello and Meyer Lansky out of New York, only to see them find a home in Huey Long’s Louisiana.

During a newspaper strike, he kept New Yorkers entertained by reading the Sunday comics over the radio. New Yorkers loved LaGuardia. In his day, the radio stations would sign off by hailing a city of “seven million people living in a peaceful democracy.” The Little Flower was the man who made it happen.

Nailed it. The cast and crew at Babylon’s Argyle Theatre has set the bar high with its stellar season closer, An American in Paris, running through Oct. 23. Every detail is as perfect as it gets, barely a fault with this team’s delivery of the Academy Award-winning 1951 film. The new stage musical features a score by the greats, George and Ira Gershwin and written in a fresh way by Tony-nominee and Pulitzer Prize finalist Craig Lucas.

Set in the French capital in the wake of World War II, An American in Paris tells the romantic story of a young American soldier, a beautiful French girl and an in domitable European city—each yearning for a new beginning in the aftermath of international conflict.

“After the dynamic success of Footloose at The Argyle, An American in Paris is the perfect way to continue that dynamic to end our current season,” Argyle Theatre’s Artistic Director Evan Pappas said. “We have, yet again, assembled a first-rate

team of actors, singers and dancers that will truly entertain audiences.”

There must be a better way to describe the energy of this production. The team is truly top-notch, delivering a flawless retelling. The set, the script, the on-stage chemistry, are all in alignment for this production.

The cast includes Brandon Haagenson (Off-Broadway: Afterglow. National Tour: Beauty and the Beast), Helen Krushinski (Regional: Joseph...; Oklahoma!), Jacob Ben-Shmuel (Regional: Godspell), Max Kuenzer (Argyle’s Footloose. Regional: The Mystery of Edwin Drood), Elizabeth Brady (National Tour: R & H Cinderella), Erika Amato (National Tour: Flashdance—The Musical), David Scott Curtis (National Tour: Fiddler on the Roof), Olivia Gjurich (National Tour: Fiddler on the Roof), Courtney Echols (International Tour: An American in Paris), Gigi Hausman (Regional: Gypsy), Aiden Pressel (National Tour: CATS), Cameron Hah (NYC: The True and Unquestionable Account of Dr. Joseph Snodgrass), Drew Reese (Argyle’s Footloose.

In Paris”

An Interview With The Lead

We recently had a chance before the show opened to chat with Brandon Haagenson, who plays the show’s lead actor Jerry Mulligan.

QTell us something that would be helpful to know before coming in to see this show.

AAn American in Paris is comprised of Gershwin songs, so be ready for an incredible cast and an awesomely talented orchestra to play some of the best music ever written. Even if you think you don’t know Gershwin, every other song you’ll go, “Oh, I know this one!”

Q

What is the best thing about this show?

AEvan Pappas and Shannon Lewis have done a stunning job of staging this story. It unfolds like a movie, with a gorgeous set and lighting that truly feels like Paris. The only downside of being in this show is not being able to sit in the audience and watch it!

Q

How do you prepare yourself for such an iconic role?

AI honestly take a lot of inspiration from the original 1951 film. There’s some thing easy about the way that Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron move with each other, and it was fun to find that with Helen Krashinski as we built Lise and Jerry. Our love story is told a lot through dance, so to find these moments where we move through space

together was integral to what we do on stage.

Q

Did this role teach you something new?

AThis show is very demanding physically and emotionally, so to always be finding the simplest and smoothest way to embody Jerry and tell the story is probably the greatest challenge. It’s easy to bounce off the walls when you’re singing and dancing to this mu sic, so the goal is to relax and click into what my castmates are giving me. It’s fun to try and find that and make it new every night.

Q

What’s the best thing about this cast/crew?

And here in New York, I fell in love with the craft of acting, so I went to graduate school for Shakespeare in Washington, DC. My love for performing has taken me a lot of places, and that’s possibly the most rewarding thing, is to follow your instincts and see so much of the world, all while doing what you love.

Q

Why do you act/perform?

A

A

We laugh constantly. There are so many fun personalities in this company, and some hijinks not fit for print. I think you’ll feel that when you watch the show.

There’s a feeling when you’re performing in a show like this that’s very hard to describe. Especially in this role, when the story clicks and everyone is dancing and singing and living their best life, it feels like flying. The electricity on stage is so alive, but also so focused and dropped in. Being a part of that energy is a gift, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.

Q

How did you get involved in acting initially? Talk about the path that led you here.

QWhat advice do you have for aspiring actors?

A

My first acting experience was in junior high. I played a psychiatrist who turns into a werewolf when his patient bites him. Very deep stuff. But after making all my classmates laugh, I thought, “Huh, that felt pretty great.” And as I continued to sing and perform, I realized that was where my community and my chosen family was, in the theater. I went to college for musical theater, which led to moving to New York.

A

No actor can do what they do alone, so my advice is to support other artists. When you’re acting in a show or a film, there are so many other people alongside you: other performers, designers, crew mem bers, choreographers, directors. And it’s so important to be in tune with those people and remember you’re all building the same thing and working toward a common goal. So, while you’re starting out, go support them. See shows, take classes, cheer your colleagues on, and go be part of that community.

RAISE AWARENESS. RAISE HEALTH.

THE WRONG MESSAGE

Last week, I saw a hook and ladder making a right from Oyster Bay Road on to Northern Blvd with a police power flag flying from its back corner. Presumably, the American flag flew from the other corner but I couldn’t see it from my perspective. What I call the ‘police power’ flag is also known as the ‘thin blue line’ flag. It is the altered American flag with black stars and stripes and a royal blue stripe through

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

the middle. This symbol may have begun as a sign of general support for the police but it has come to represent an intolerant reaction to the ‘black lives matter’ movement. I think most people would agree that the latter significance of the symbol predominates today. For me, this symbol sends a divisive message and it does not belong on the back of a fire engine and given equal prominence with our nation’s flag. I resent the

notion that the police feel they need their own emblem, as though our American flag isn’t good enough for them. In our society, police are for the most part honored and respected. But as for any profession, when a member of the force violates professional or legal standards, she/he must be held account able. We are all governed by the same laws. No one is above the law and certainly not police who are entrusted with the

right to use lethal force when necessary. If a member of the force or anyone else wants to display this symbol on their own property, that’s their right as Americans. But it does not belong on police cars, public buildings or fire engines, spreading the divisive message that representatives of these public institutions are dissatis fied with Old Glory.

With family court matters such as divorce proceedings and custody cases often very contentious, youngsters can be traumatized if they are in the courtroom. But many parents and guardians don’t have the luxury of leaving their children home.

That’s what makes the Children’s Center at Nassau County Family Court, a program of North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center, so important.

At the Children’s Center, kids from 6 weeks to 12 years old are provided with free care in a nurturing and safe environ ment while adults are busy in court.

The Children’s Center, located at 1200 Old Country Rd., Suite #2, Westbury on the first floor of the Family Court building, is not a babysitting service but rather an early learning center. Every aspect of the Children’s Center promotes learning by which the children can explore new things in a safe, structured and professionally supervised setting.

The Children’s Center

provides kids with a safe haven that gives them the opportunity to develop early learning skills through age-ap propriate play and activities that are fun and exciting for toddlers and children up to age 12.

Earlier this summer, we were excited to announce that the Children’s Center at Nassau County Family Court had reopened after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. During that time, almost all

court business was conducted virtually, but with more and more children and families returning to in-person court visits, our Children’s Center is a much-needed community resource.

How can you help? We are seeking volunteers at the Children’s Center. To volunteer, we request that you are:

• 16 years of age or older

• Fully vaccinated against COVID-19

• Able to work a minimum of four hours per week

• Comfortable wearing a mask

• Willing to complete a New York State background check, including fingerprinting

• Able to lift children when nec essary and have good mobility

• Friendly and nurturing

Volunteering at the Children’s Center is a great way for high schoolers (16 and up) or college students who have an interest in children and education to gain experience. And it’s also a wonderful opportunity for

anyone who loves kids to give back and make a difference for the youngsters and families in our community.

Another way to help support the Children’s Center is to attend the fundraiser we are having on Oct. 27 at Tesoro’s Ristorante in Westbury. For ticket information, call 516-6261971, ext. 309.

To learn more about volunteering at the Children’s Center, contact Dr. Nellie TaylorWalthrust, Director at North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center’s Leeds Place and head of the Children’s Center, at ntaylorwalthrust@northshorechildguidance.org or call 516-997-2926, ext. 229.

Got A Quarter Of The Vote? Congrats, You’re A Congressman! COLUMNS

On Aug. 23, Democrats and Republicans voted for their preferred Congressional candidate on Primary Day. For the majority of Nassau County, that meant voting in New York’s 3rd Congressional District.

The fact that those not registered with the right party—including those not registered with any party—couldn’t vote in these elections is a topic worthy of another article. The fact that an appallingly low 12 percent of eligible Democrats (the Republican ran unopposed) actually voted in the 3rd District is worthy of a second. The fact that this is all happening in the greatest democracy on Earth perhaps deserves a third.

But there was something else that irked me about New York’s 3rd District Primary. Candidate Robert Zimmerman won the Democratic nomination, receiving just 35.8 percent out of all votes cast, which means most voting Democrats did not want Zimmerman to be their nominee.

He may have gotten the most votes, but not a majority of votes. 64 percent of those who voted did not vote for Zimmerman; and yet, he is now the Democratic

COLLEGE CORNER

Matthew Adarichev

torchbearer for this district.

Let me be clear, I’ve got nothing against Zimmerman. After all, this election wasn’t even the worst example: in New York City, the Democratic nominee received less than 26 percent of the vote. Threefourths of voting Democrats in this district did not want this Democrat.

And all of this, again, in the greatest democracy on Earth.

Jokes aside, our current voting system, which hands victory to the person with the most votes, is routinely sending politicians into office without majority support. Our system kills the growth of third

parties and leads to election-day anxiety about the nefarious “spoiler”: candidates who don’t win but take enough of the vote to let an ideologically similar candidate lose.

Luckily, there is a solution: ranked-choice voting. It’s a voting system already in place in 18 states, including Utah and our very own Empire State, where it is used in New York City.

Rather than voting for a candidate, you rank candidates by your preferred choice. For example, you want to vote for candidate X, but candidate Y is also appealing, and after that candidate Z is okay as well. So, you’d rank candidates on election day like so: ELECTION BALLOT

Mark Preference HERE: Candidate X 1 Candidate Y 2 Candidate Z 3 Ballots are tabulated by hand and machine. If a candidate gets more than 50 percent of the vote, they win. But if, like our local election, no one receives a majority, the magic begins.

The candidate who received the least amount of votes is crossed from the list and their votes are redistributed to other candidates

based on their second preference.

If no candidate receives a majority, the process repeats: the person with the least votes is crossed from the list, and votes redistributed based on preference. The process is repeated until a candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote.

No longer will candidates be sent to office without a majority mandate. You can vote for who you truly want, rather than “strategically” voting for the candidate you think will win. Spoilers are no longer a concern. Candidates are discouraged from campaigning negatively, as they will need to appeal outside of their base to pick up votes from eliminated candidates. Not to mention, this could be a real bipartisan issue.

After all, Republican gubernatorial nominee Lee Zeldin only got 44 percent of the vote.

We may even be able to get rid of primary and general elections altogether. If all candidates, regardless of party, ran in one election with ranked-choice voting, we could eliminate an entire extra election, saving us all time, money, energy and paperwork. An increase in voter turnout will follow.

If you want to see ranked-choice

voting enacted like I do, you can find the contact number of your State Assemblyman at nyassembly. gov/mem/search/ and State Senator at www.nysenate.gov/ find-my-senator. Call your Nassau County Presiding Officer, Richard J. Nicolello, at 516-571-6209 and Minority Caucus Leader, Kevan Abrahams, at 516-571-6201. Tell them you want ranked-choice voting, which is more democratic, saves money, and will eliminate the need for an entire election. You can join a ranked-choice voting advocacy group like FairVote, at https://www.fairvote.org/. Even something as simple as talking to your friends and neighbors about ranked-choice voting will help drive momentum for this issue.

As a county, let’s be innovators and take charge of an issue that the rest of the country can emulate. Support democracy and support common sense; support rankedchoice voting.

S

eptember is National Preparedness Month and PSEG Long Island wants to remind its customers of the importance of preparing for disasters and emergencies. Emergencies can happen at any time and preparing ahead of time helps keep everyone safe.

“We want our customers to think about this year’s National Preparedness Month theme, ‘A Lasting Legacy,’ because the life you’ve built is worth protecting,” said David Lyons, interim president and COO of PSEG Long Island. “The safety of our employees, our customers and our contractors has always been PSEG Long Island’s top priority, and we partner with groups like the United Way to help spread the word. Taking the time to prepare and having a plan limits the negative impact of an emergency.”

Here’s how customers can prepare for a severe storm and other emergencies:

1. Ensure you have a battery-powered radio and fresh batteries.

2. Check your supply of flashlights, blankets, nonperishable food and bottled water.

3. Create an emergency communications plan.

4. Develop an evacuation plan.

5. Charge your cell phones, tablets and other mobile devices.

6. Make sure to have cash available. Banks may be closed or inaccessible after a storm.

7. Fill up your vehicle’s fuel tank.

8. Bring in unsecured objects and furniture from patios and balconies.

9. Compile a list of emergency phone numbers, including PSEG’s 24-hour service number: 800-490-0075.

10. Discuss storm and lightning safety with your family. Visit www. psegliny.com/safetyandreliability/stormsafety for safety tips, YouTube safety videos and more.

11. Be aware that downed wires should always be considered “live.” Do not approach or drive over a downed line, and do not touch anything it might be in contact with. If a wire falls on or near your car, stay inside the car, call 911 and do not get out until PSEG de-energizes the line. If you must exit the vehicle because it is on fire, jump as far as possible away from the vehicle, with both feet landing on the ground at the same time, and hop or shuffle away.

Stay connected:

1. Download the PSEG Long Island mobile app to report outages and receive information on restoration times, crew locations and more.

Monsters, Madmen And Mysterious Creatures

BY CHRISTY HINKO chinko@antonmediagroup.com

Is this a scene from a horror movie in my nightmares because this is exactly how you get killed in the movies...traveling through some abandoned, dimly lit warehouse row, trying to find the street number for a business meeting at twilight. You have arrived. Monster Gallery, Long Island’s first immersive art showcase dedicated to horror and Halloween movies, has returned for its second year of monster fanaticism to a suitable location in one of Mineola’s industrial neighborhoods.

Long Island Monster Gallery consists of a two-floor display of more than 35 life-sized monsters accompanied by a corresponding theatrical set, lighting, music and other 4D-experience details, which nearly bring these ghouls to life.

Monster fanatic and gallery owner Jason Kloos is the mastermind behind the showcase.

“It is designed to be almost like you are walking through a wax museum,” Kloos said.

Kloos and his family manage the lighting and effects of the gallery.

Each of the monsters are handcrafted by special effects artists from around the world.

“The most popular monster last year was the Wicked Witch of the West; she’s upstairs again this year,” Kloos said. “The scariest for most people this year will be the clown room.”

If you have coulrophobia it might be best to skip this circus-themed room in the gallery. It is filled with the things that surely nightmares are made from.

It is important to know that Long Island Monster Gallery is not a haunted house and there are no live actors inside.

While the immersive elements may be considered “spooky” and some of the monsters may conjur flashbacks of nightmares from your childhood when it wasn’t safe to descend into an unlit basement after watching a marathon series from behind a throw pillow of Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th with all of your cousins at grandma’s house, there is no intentional scare factor associated with the gallery. The gallery is suitable for all monster fans, of all ages.

“Parents know their kids; if they love horror and Halloween, then they are going to love this,” Kloos said. Children under 12 years old must always remain with an adult.

To ensure all monster fans have plenty of time to appreciate each display, reservations are limited to one hour of gallery access and guest admission is limited.

“We never exceed 50 people in there because we just want everyone to have room to move around,” Kloos said. “Every single display has a plaque with the history with the movie, so spend the full hour reading and taking photos.”

The gallery will close temporarily for display and show upgrades in November. Kloos plans to host another limited-run show in December, featuring holiday villains and winter-themed monsters.

“I started collecting life-sized figures one day; one led to two, led to three and four and eventually I ran out of room in the garage,” Kloos said. “It was then finally time to find a location.”

Long Island Monster Gallery was born.

“I am just a lifelong fan of horror,” Kloos said. “I grew up watching a lot of horror movies and my collecting just started a little at a time.”

Kloos used to run local haunted houses, which then morphed into his collection.

“It was then that I started going for accuracy,” Kloos said. “This is made by horror fans, for horror fans.”

Not affiliated, but other regional monster galleries include Count Orlok’s Nightmare Gallery in Salem, MA and Witch’s Dungeon Classic Movie Museum in Plainville, CT.

Long Island Monster Gallery is located at 47A Roselle St. in Mineola. Free parking is plentiful on-street. Do not park in adjacent private business lots. Admission is $28 for adults (ages 12 and up) and $20 for children (ages 5 to 11), plus fees and must be purchased and reserved on-line for a timed entrance. The gallery opens on Saturday, Oct. 1 and runs Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and on Halloween through Nov. 5.

Long Island Monster Gallery is not ADA compliant. According to the gallery’s website, “Due to the old construction of the building and stairs, the use of a wheelchair is not always possible.” Kloos said accommodations can be made with prior arrangements.

The children’s casting for pumpkins contest will be held for as long as pumpkins last, during which kids can “catch” a pumpkin and “hook” a prize. Casting contest prizes are provided by I FISH NY

and State Parks.

Prior to the festival, State Parks will stock South and McDonald ponds in Hempstead Lake State Park with brook and rainbow trout. DEC also stocks brown trout in several other waterbodies in Nassau and Suffolk counties, including Upper Twin Pond, Oyster Bay Mill Pond, Massapequa Reservoir, and 12 additional Suffolk County lakes. These stockings will occur later in October, and provide excellent prospects for fall fishing. A second DEC stocking will occur in early November.

For more information about the festival, call DEC’s I FISH NY Program at 631444-0283 or Hempstead Lake State Park 516-766-1029 for event status. There is no rain date for this event.

Hofstra University South Campus

New York, New York: Photographs from the Collection

The Big Apple. The City that Never Sleeps. Gotham. The Naked City...Iconic names to describe an iconic metropolis, a city of myth and legend, where dreams rise as high as skyscrapers and can fall just as far. Yet beyond the silhouetted skyline is a place where New Yorkers actually live, work, love, struggle, and survive. These photographs from the Hofstra University Museum of Art collection capture New York City in its

infinite complexity and variety, not only celebrating the city’s iconic architecture, but reveling in its everyday streets and signage, authentic faces, and dynamic street scenes. The black-and-white images were made over a span of 75 years, from 1932 to 2008, yet are unified through the use of monochrome, creating connections between disparate decades. The exhibition runs through Dec. 9 in Emily Lowe Gallery on the south campus, Tuesdays through Fridays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. Admission is free.

Throughout the years and especially during the crime-ravaged 1970s, there was great nostalgia for La Guardia, similar to the national nostalgia for the days of Harry S. Truman and John F. Kennedy.

In East Harlem, La Guardia was suc ceeded by Vito Marcantonio. A heavy-set man who eventually perished via a heart attack, Marcantonio continued La Guardia’s progressive legacy. The former took great joy in representing a multi-ethnic district that included large numbers of Italian Americans, Puerto Ricans and blacks. He was a staunch supporter of both anti-lynch ing and civil rights legislation. Marcantonio was also anti-war, opposing America’s entry into both World War II and the Korean War. His opposition to the latter played a signifi cant role in his re-election defeat in 1950.

That same year, the height of the postwar boom, Vincent Impellitteri, a native of Ansonia, CT and a Fordham Law School graduate, became mayor.

A low-keyed pol, Impelletteri was a product of the Tammany Hall machine. President of the City Council, he came into power when President Harry Truman named then-Mayor William O’Dwyer as ambassador to Mexico. (O’Dwyer was under heat from both federal and state investigators.)

Impellitteri was considered a political lightweight and an interim mayor. Running on an “unbought and unbossed” slogan, the man won a surprise victory in the 1950 race, only to lose to Robert Wagner, Jr. in the 1953 campaign. During his brief reign, Impellitteri raised bus and subway fares and introduced parking meters to raise revenue. He also allied his administration to Robert Moses, the city’s Commissioner of Parks and Recreation, who was now busy recon figurating the metropolitan with highways, bridges, and parks. Impellitteri, however, ran into problems with the Democratic Party establishment. The all-powerful Tammany Hall grew to dislike him and the mayor went into the 1953 race with little support from New York’s dominant party.

In 1960, New York was prosperous. By 1970, the triumph of barbarism was in full swing. Italian-American pols were at the center of this red-hot vacuum.

In 1965, John V. Lindsay, a liberal Republican, was elected mayor. He looked to be the right man at the right time. The year before, Barry Goldwater had suffered a 44-state landslide loss to Lyndon Johnson. Lindsay, a telegenic liberal Republican from Manhattan, could be the party’s future. However, New York’s decline proceeded at a frighting pace. Industries left, the white flight accelerated, crime was on the rise, busing orders obliterated a public school system that once produced Nobel Prize winners.

In 1969, Lindsay was handily defeated in the GOP primary by John Marchi, a conservative, if not colorless, state senator from Staten Island. The Democratic Party primary was a free-for-all that included former mayor Robert Wagner, Bronx

Borough President Herman Badillo, Rep. James Scheuer, the novelist Norman Mailer, and Mario Procaccino, the city comptroller, also of The Bronx. The latter stole the show, castigating “limousine liberals” and stressing law and order. Procaccino edged out Wagner for the nomination by a slim 29-28 percent margin. Had their been a runoff system, Wagner certainly would have prevailed. As it was, New York now had two conservative Italian Americans running for mayor of the progressive capital. It was scandalous.

Deliverance was on the way. Lindsay procured the nomination of the Liberal Party. Democratic leaders rushed to his side and the registered Republican, improbably, hung on for another term.

The man’s second term proved as disastrous as the first one. The crime wave could not be reversed. Lindsay faced another crisis over plans to construct low-income housing in Forest Hills, a pleasant middle-class residential area. The mayor appointed Mario Cuomo, a little-known attorney from Queens, to mediate the explosive situation. That Cuomo did. The projects were built but on a much-smaller scale. A new star had entered the state’s political constellation.

(Next week: The left-right struggle continues: Cuomo, Alfonse D’Amato, and the Nassau County fiscal crisis)

Seeking Redemption In To Leslie

Tale of alcoholic lottery winner going bust drives this indie film

DAVE GIL de RUBIO

If the idea that money and success only amplify who you already are, then the profligate and addictive main character who wins a $190,000 lottery prize in the new film To Leslie is destined to hit rock bottom rather quickly. Based on a true story drawn from screenwriter Ryan Binaco’s own life, this drama stars Andrea Riseborough (Black Mirror/Stalin Must Die) as the film’s namesake—a working class single mom from Texas with a 14-year-old son who wins this monetary bounty, only to burn through it six years later. A raging alcoholic, she is

estranged from her family, has wound up homeless after getting bounced from the run-down motel she was staying in and istrying to desperately reconcile with her now 20-year-old son, James. Riseborough’s stark and raw performance as someone who can’t get out of her own way is buttressed by a number of other notable cast members’ solid turns including Allison Janney (Mom, Bad Education) and Stephen Root (Barry, News Radio) as biker couple Nancy and Dutch, who take in James and Lesley at different times. Comedian Marc Maron, who plays Sweeney, also shines as the main character’s future employer and love interest. In a world of working class bikers, construction workers and cowboys deep in the heart of the Lone Star State, Riseborough’s reckless barfly has torched numerous personal bridges and

made her a hometown laughingstock, still trying to right her personal ship despite putting on an air of false bravado and indifference. It anchors the filmmaking debut of director Michael Morris, who previously helmed episodes of Billions and Better Call Saul and drives this script that roped Root and Maron into becoming involved.

“What always draws me to a project is the script and this one is great, not good,” Root said. “Secondarily, the people you get to work with. I always wanted to work with Allison Janney since we walked by

each other in West Wing. [Director] Michael [Morris] is someone I knew socially with his wife Mary [McCormack], I was happy that he was able to see through the nerd comic book boy [that I am] into me being a biker because it was really fun to play.”

Maron took a little bit more convincing between his own self-doubt as an actor and the lingering pandemic hangover that found him asking out loud if anyone was going to even care about this domestic drama.

“Michael really was persistent and I really was resistant,” the Jersey City native

admitted. “Then I read the script and it definitely was a guy and it wasn’t me. Then I was like, ‘Why does he want me? There are a million guys who can do this.’ Then he actually enlisted Chelsea Handler, who he knows somehow, to pester me. She’s a lot to be reckoned with. You can’t really say no to Chelsea Handler. Michael convinced me that he appreciated certain qualities I could bring to this [role] from watching my show Maron. Also, I knew if I wanted to do acting and not get typecast, I’d have to take chances. I then said, ‘Okay man. I believe

that you believe, so I’ll go along with it.’ It worked out. It was a great experience.”

The 19 days it took to film didn’t give either Root or Maron much time to prepare to play their respective characters. For the former, it was more about cultivating Dutch’s appearance.

“I had a very specific look for this character—something I don’t usually do,” he said. “It was kind of nice to be able to come from the outside and feel the guy out with the clothes, hair, beard and the whole nine yards. Given the length of the shoot, I

didn’t have a whole hell of a lot of time to overthink it, which I think is a good thing. If you’re very happy with who you’ve chosen to work with, be it the director or actor, and all of these actors are fantastic, then you can relax and do the job quickly. And that’s what we did, even during COVID-19.”

Maron went a little deeper, going so far as to really work on his character’s accent despite the fact that Morris was more than happy with what the 59-year-old comedian was bringing to the project.

“With this guy, I did really have to make adjustments around not being me and I did have to go deeper into a vulnerability that I haven’t really experimented with that much as an actor,” he explained. “I met with a dialect coach and she said that we were going to do a Lubbock accent. I said, ‘I don’t even know what you’re saying.’ I grew up in New Mexico, right next door to Texas, and a lot of people in Texas don’t feel like they have accents and that might be true. Lubbock is very specific. The funny thing about it was that she said she was going to send me some videos to kind of get a sense of what Lubbock sounds like and it was all videos of Mac Davis doing interviews. I like Mac Davis alright, but that was the example she had. Then she had these phonetic pronunciations written down. That was a

big part of the prep—how to get into that and not worry about the accent. I also had to be available for what Andrea was putting out as Leslie and to honor the emotions of that relationship. It was the most challenging thing I’ve done as an actor.”

While both Root and Maron were extremely pleased with the various aspects of To Leslie, from their fellow cast members and Morris’ directing to the script and pacing, Riseborough’s portrayal is what had them both raving.

“Andrea Riseborough is a force of nature,” Root said. “She’s so whole and present at all times and it was just a joy to work with her. I had no idea how astonishing she was as an actor. Everybody is great in this film but she was exemplary and it was really an honor to be on screen with her.”

As a recovering alcoholic, Maron was quick to point out how authentic Riseborough’s Leslie is.

“One of the problems people have with empathizing with drug addicts or alcoholics is they’ll say, ‘Why don’t you just stop. Where is your will power?’,” he said. “That’s really unsympathetic to the disease’s nature and the psychological compulsion of the problem. I think Andrea handled that really well—that she was definitely losing to the disease.”

To Leslie is in theaters Oct. 7.

HOROSCOPES By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re getting ready to express something meaningful. You need the right terms -- the words that will capture attention, build trust and let your truth be understood. But more than this, you need the right moment. Don’t rush things. Hang back and observe. Gather your ideas. Practice by yourself. Your time is coming.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). e bane of science is the unavoidable truth: e act of observing changes what’s observed. ough you can’t possibly interact without in uencing the situation, your unobtrusive observations will get you as close as possible to glimpsing things as they really are. You’re coming into a state of profound knowing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In the past, you stood at the sort of crossroads in which each path went a di erent direction, and yet, oddly enough, all led to the same place. is isn’t that. Each of these routes ends at its own unique desti nation, which may even be indicated by the sign. ere are no tricks here, only decisions to be carefully considered.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Many people are checked out of today because they are afraid of tomorrow. is is why it’s important to monitor your participation in bad news and dreadful projections. ey rob everyone from the blessings of the moment. You’ll focus on being a part of the solution, bringing joy and seeding hope.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s impossible for you to stand by and watch someone trying to dig themselves out of a hot mess. You’re compelled to lend a hand. Perhaps there’s a sense of recognition at play, and it’s something you can be proud of. e dysfunction we see is in us, too. So when we help others, we are also helping ourselves.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You keep raising the bar with your fantastic work. By now, it’s in your nature. Some won’t like the competition you pose, and maybe you won’t even like it yourself. It prevents you from being able to turn in a mediocre performance. Good thing there are so many perks that come with being a champion! Take advantage!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s only natural to want to tune out of di cult mo ments and turn toward something easier to deal with. e trouble is, distractions are often meaningless time-wasters, and hard moments don’t always go away just because they’re being ignored. e more you can stick with the challenge at hand, the stronger you’ll be.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Due to variables out of your control, it’s likely the original plan won’t su ce, at least not in the projected timeline. You can still keep to an order of events, though, and will be fortunate as you live tenacious ly. Results will eventually be better for your ability to incorporate the wild unknowns of life along the way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have known a reality that is at, banal, straightforward, without contour. And you have known the same reality to bend and intrigue you, invite wonder and sparkle with color because of the company you were with. is week brings the delight of seeing things through a curious, creative and playful lens.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Act on your social instincts because they’re solid. Your reading of the nuances is better than most peoples’ because you have no motive or agenda to serve. Your body cues you before your mind knows why. When your feet tell you to walk away or your heart tells you to lean in close, you can trust the directive.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You get the sneaking suspicion that something could be better, or that the way you’re living just isn’t quite aligned with your best self. Maybe you can’t put your nger on the exact thing to change, but if you’re willing to experiment, you’ll gure it out. Ask, “What would I do if I were just 3% more myself?”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Fear thrives in disguise. For instance, boredom might be a fear of doing what you really want to do. Distraction can be a fear of the underlying emotions that might come up if the conversation gets too real. Amazing things happen for you because you recognize the hiding fear, call it out and deal with it head-on.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

e beauty of the year is its sense of mystery and the way it dares you to adventure. Usually, it takes courage to try something new, but this year presents possibility in a heightened way so that all it takes is curiosity. You’re in a hall of endless doors. You can’t know what’s behind any until you turn the knob. Money will be made in an atmosphere of entrepreneurship and problem-solving. While developing ideas, you make connections on every level -- heart, mind, body and soul.

BRIDGE

By Steve Becker

two-level with a broken suit and three diamond losers, not to men tion the added danger of partner’s previous pass.

But Kay, whose tendency was to bid rather than pass in doubtful situations, certainly proved to be right on this occasion when he ven tured two clubs. He was promptly raised to five and easily made six.

If we exchange the North and West cards — both players had passed at their first opportunity and might have held either hand — it demonstrates the danger implicit in the overcall. In that case, Kay could have been doubled at two clubs and nicked for 800 points.

Of course, one hand doesn’t prove a theory, and a two-club bid might or might not be right in the long run — I personally favor two clubs, despite the risk — but there is no doubt that Kay hit the target this time.

The difference in philosophies was clearly demonstrated when the bidding at the second table, with Canada now North-South, went: West North East South Pass Pass 1 ♦ Pass 1 ♥ Pass 2 ♦ All Pass

The U.S. pair went down one at two diamonds on a hand where their opponents were laydown for six clubs and yet never uttered a peep!

Ralph W. Young Monument Dedication

On Saturday, Oct. 15, at 10 a.m., Glen Covers will meet at Monument Park in front of the Glen Cove First Presbyterian Church to honor a great American patriot who grew up in the area known as the Glen Cove Orchard.

Sergeant Ralph W. Young was an accom plished academic and notable basketball player. He was often seen carrying books in one arm and a gym bag in the other. After graduating from Glen Cove High School, he attended Lincoln University Law School on a full scholarship.

After three years in college, Ralph felt the pull of civic duty and entered the US Army as an infantryman, later transferring to the Army Air Corps. He was assigned to India to transport desperately needed supplies over the Himalaya Mountains.

On the Japanese Pacific front, he flew more than 50 missions aboard a C-54

cargo plane.

Sadly, on April 11, 1945, while on a mission flying over the Himalayas, treacherous weather caused his aircraft to crash into the mountains. There were no survivors.

Ralph W. Young: 1922 to 1945. (Submitted by the City of Glen Cove)

Sgt. Ralph W. Young left behind his parents and sister. In a tribute to him, Ralph W. Young Avenue was named for him and the Young Simmons American Legion Post 1765 was co-named for him.

The Sagamore Hill Band, Roosevelt Songbirds Release CD

On the 164th anniversary of Theodore Roosevelt’s birth, the Sagamore Hill Band & Roosevelt Songbirds, a Long Island music group whose mission is to collect, preserve and present music dedicated to, or connected with, Theodore Roosevelt and his family, will present the CD release of its newest recording.

The CD was recorded at a live concert on Oct. 5, 2019. ROOSEVELT! We’re Glad To Welcome You, is the third volume of a con cert trilogy entitled “Oyster Bay Celebrates T.R.” The first concert, “Teddy, You’re a Bear!” was held in 1988 and the second,

“Dee-Lighted! A Village Celebra tion of Theodore Roosevelt and His Family” was held in 1993. All three concerts were produced by Stephen V. Walker, the founder of the Sagamore Hill Band & Roosevelt Songbirds.

The theme of the third concert is “The Wide World of T.R.” It pays tribute to many of the places important to the life of Theodore Roosevelt: New York City, Oyster Bay, North Dakota, Panama and Yosemite as well as many others. The grand finale of the concert is a new musical tribute to the 230 million acres of land preserved by Theodore Roos evelt, entitled All Nature’s Realm Is Served

(By the Lands T.R. Preserved) composed by Stephen Walker.

The concert recording also preserves the last public speech of James Foote, noted T.R. re-enactor, who passed away in May. Long Island has been in love with Foote’s exuberant portrayal of Theodore Roosevelt for more than thirty years.

The CD release will be held at the Oyster

Bay Historical Society at 7 p.m. on Oct. 27. At the celebration, Stephen Walker will give a brief history of the music of Theodore Roosevelt with accompanying images, after which copies of Roosevelt! We’re Glad To Welcome You will be available for purchase. All proceeds will benefit the Oyster Bay Historical Society.

Glen Cove School District To Unveil New Art Installation And Scholarships

Friends of Arts & Music Enrichment Glen Cove Inc., (FAME GC) will reveal a dramatic new art installation at Glen Cove High School (GCHS) at a ceremony on Tuesday, Oct. 11 at 4 p.m., and will announce four annual scholarships—$1,000 each for June 2023— that will be awarded to graduating GCHS seniors.

The ceremony, art installation, and scholarships will honor several long-serving former GCHS teachers who have been a source of inspiration and mentoring to generations of Glen Cove students. The permanent art installation is designed to grow over years, adding additional Glen Cove faculty and staff honorees over time. The annual GCHS student scholarship awards, as well as the art installation, are designed to motivate and support students and faculty in Glen Cove City Public Schools and beyond.

The Oct. 11 ceremony at GCHS (4 p.m.) will be followed by a celebration at The Cove in Glen Cove (5:30-8:30 p.m., tickets required for admission). Visit www.famegc. org to purchase tickets to the celebration. Donations to FAME GC’s General Fund (supporting music and arts program needs in Glen Cove City schools) and the student scholarships can be made via the FAME GC website at: www.famegc.org, or by check payable to FAME GC, Inc., P.O. Box 833, Locust Valley, NY 11560.

FAME GC is a nonprofit organization founded in 2020 by former GCHS students seeking to support music and arts education in the United States, with its primary focus on the Glen Cove City Public School District. As a registered 501(c)(3) entity, donations to FAME GC and the FAME GC scholarships are tax-deductible. FAME GC provides students, teachers and administrators with financial and other support to encourage, develop and cultivate students’ passion, interest and involvement in the arts.

• FAME GC Dale Alan Zurbrick Memorial Scholarship (Music & Theater Arts)

• FAME GC Thom Ruckert Memorial Scholarship (GCTV)

build upon years of support for and achievement in music and arts education in Glen Cove, a public school district that has achieved national and international recognition for its student performances and achievements for decades. Thom Ruckert Memorial Scholarships have provided funds to graduating GCHS seniors since 2017, and the former organization Glen Cove Endowment for Music and Arts Education (GCEMAE), which GCHS alumni created in Dale Zurbrick’s honor in 2002, donated its funds to FAME GC. FAME GC is grateful to the alumni, community members, and others who have donated funds and other support from throughout the United States.

Interim Principal Megan McCormack Greets Sea Cliff School Students On Her First Day

New interim principal of Sea Cliff School Megan McCormack was welcomed with lots of hugs, high-fives, and smiles as she greeted her students, faculty, and staff on Wednesday, Sept. 14. McCormack stated, “I was so humbled and honored to be greeting our Sea Cliff School (SCS) family on my first official day as the interim principal. The warm welcome in the classrooms, the smiles out at recess, and the high-fives in the cafeteria were experiences that I will never forget.”

“We started the day with a quick schoolwide movement break and the sun was shining for our first fire drill,” McCormack continued. “The kindergartners taught me sign language, in 1st grade we reflected on how we were feeling using the mood meter, 2nd graders were working on literacy, self-portraits were being made using description words in the 3rd grade, the 4th graders were working together before transitioning to specials and the 5th graders

were solving Math problems!”

You could feel the enthusiasm and love at Sea Cliff School as interim principal McCormack stopped into each classroom

Oyster Bay High School Senior Recognized By NYSSMA

Oyster Bay High School senior Jaiya Chetram from the Oyster Bay-East Norwich Central School District was recently selected as a vocal tenor alternate for this year’s All-State Winter Conference, sponsored by the New York State School Music Association. The conference will take place at the Eastman Theatre in Rochester from Dec. 1-4.

To earn a spot at All-State, students must be recommended by their teacher. They also had to prepare a NYSSMA level VI solo

last spring which was evaluated by a NYSSMA Certified All-State adjudicator. To be named an All-State participant or alternate is a great honor as only the top student-musicians are selected. As an alternate, Chetram can still be accepted to participate in All-State prior to December.

The Oyster Bay-East Norwich Central School District congratulates him on this great achievement.

James H. Vernon Students Transform Into Energy Scientists

Fourth graders from James H. Vernon School in the Oyster Bay-East Norwich Cen tral School District recently created their own electrical systems during their science lab with the school’s science specialist, Patricia Murray.

As part of their energy unit, the students were challenged to brainstorm a way to put alligator wires, a motor, propeller and a solar panel together to form a functioning system. The fourth-graders took advantage of the beautiful weather and did their experiment outside on the school’s blacktop. They worked in small groups and followed a worksheet where they made scientific

drawings of their electrical systems. Through trial, error and collaboration, the students were able to successfully get their electrical systems working and their propellers spinning. The key piece to their experiment was utilizing the sun which they quickly learned powered their electrical systems. The fourth-graders then explored how to make their propeller change speeds and how to make it spin in a different direction. At the conclusion of their experiment, the students returned to the science lab to discuss their findings like true scientists.
