Jericho Cider Mill And Blue Point Partner Up

The result: Apple Crumb Pie Sour

JENNIFER

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ronkonkoma.

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

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

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

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

At both Jericho Cider Mill and Blue Point Brewery, the

Apple Crumb Pie Sour has been flying off the shelves.

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

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

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

make it happen. They’ve been wonderful.”

About the Jericho Cider Mill

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

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

As previously reported by the Syosset Jericho Tribune:

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

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

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

Bynoe Files Additional Cybersecurity Bill Amid Recent Long Island Breaches

Nassau County Legislator Siela A. Bynoe filed legislation on Friday, Sept. 16 to create the position of Deputy Commissioner of Cybersecurity within the Nassau Department of Information Technology, an idea proposed amidst “a dis turbing increase in cybersecurity incidents” that have impacted Nassau County and other municipal agencies, her office said.

Earlier this year, Legislator Bynoe intro duced a separate piece of legislation that would require the County to provide identity theft protection services to victims of data breaches, following a breach of County-held data that exposed personal info from 209 employees of the Department of Assessment in late 2021.

“The first bill [introduced] addresses requirement, once there is a breach, to notify people of any information they may have had compromised and to provide resources and counseling relative to how they can protect themselves from any kind of identity theft as related to a breach,” Legislator Bynoe

explained in a phone interview with Anton Media Group.

“The second bill looks at what we can do relative to cybersecurity and cyber-resiliency. Obviously we want to make sure that we identify and stop any attacks, but also still look to create a plan that would keep our systems running. Really what it does is anticipate that there could be vulnerabilities, and then look to work to recover from those while maintaining essential functioning during recovery periods.”

“It’s inevitable, unfortunately, in this day and age in which we are managing data and personal information,” she continued.

“And we as a county need to make sure we’re doing all that we can to protect against cyberattacks and maintain resiliency, and look to recover from and adapt to attacks that we may face.”

This summer, a ransomware group of on line thieves known as “ALPHV” or “BlackCat” reportedly disabled Suffolk County’s 911 system as well as other local services, and has since precipitated apparent leaks, according to some news outlets, of documents contain ing personally identifiable information, such as speeding tickets. Nearly 100 employees at Plainedge Public Schools were also affected by the breaches, according to Newsday

UBS’ Bill Carroll said afterward that the event went “extremely well.”

“It was exactly what we hoped it would be, which was an opportunity for these young [people] to get a little bit of exposure to personal finance thinking, management, possibly the opportunity to think about a career in finance, and a little bit of structure as they go into their junior and senior year of high school, and I think we achieved it.”

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.

Philip P Andriola, JD

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).

The highest monthly bene t you can earn occurs when you reach age 70. If you continue to work, it may make sense to delay taking 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. Regional: The Bodyguard, The Musical), Rashawn Sangster (Regional: Kiss Me Kate), Spencer Dean (TV: “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”), Lucas Ryan (Regional: Cabaret), Taylor Kurtz, Maci

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.

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.

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.

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!

Garden City High School Marching Band Kicks Off New Season

Garden City High School marching band kicked off the new school year by performing “Espionage” during the first home football game on Sept. 10.

Senior drumline section leader Gavin Burns said, “The energy in the stands was electric, and it feels amazing to be performing again. I’m really proud of the band and

the drumline and I am looking forward to another great season.”

The weekend’s performances continued on Sept. 11 when junior trumpet soloist Alessandro Ehrig and sophomore trumpet soloist Elianna Stier played the reverential “Taps” for the first time at the Garden City Fire Department’s 9/11 ceremony for the Garden City Village.

On Sept. 24, the band performed in their mock competition on the high school field at 3 p.m. The band presented their full show in a timed performance in front of guest judges in a competition atmosphere in order to prepare them further for their upcoming competition season.

Back to School Safety Series – Part Three

This is part three of the four-part series of articles by the Garden City Police Department addressing Back to School Safety Issues. In the previous two-newspaper articles we addressed Safe Driving Practices and School Bus Safety. This week’s article will cover Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety.

Pedestrian Safety:

Children should not walk while talking on a cell phone or texting.

Pedestrians should always use sidewalks when available and walk on the inside edge of the sidewalk farthest away from traffic. If a sidewalk is unavailable, pedestrians are encouraged to walk in a single file as close to the edge of the roadway as practical. You should also walk against the flow of traffic so that oncoming cars are visible.

Research has shown that until your child is at least 8 years old, you should hold their hand on the sidewalk and in parking lots. Furthermore, until they are 10 years old you should hold their hand while crossing the street.

Teach your children to be defensive and NEVER assume that a driver sees them.

Always LOOK in all directions before crossing the street, LEFT, then RIGHT, then LEFT again. NEVER run into the street.

Avoid crossing streets at mid-block, espe cially when parked cars may obstruct vision. Cross at stop signs, traffic signals, crosswalks, and crossing guards when available.

When crossing a street, NEVER assume

a green light or WALK signal means it is safe to cross the street. Remember; LOOK LEFT, then RIGHT, then LEFT again before crossing.

Remove earphones when preparing to cross the street. You may not be able to hear approaching traffic.

Do not follow others across the street until you have checked for yourself that it is safe to cross.

Walk the route to school with your child and discuss safe practices. Teach your children about traffic laws and encourage them to ask questions when they are unsure of what to do.

Crossing Guards are near schools to assist children and others in safely crossing the street. It is a violation of New York State Law to disregard the signals and directions of crossing guards.

Teach your children to obey the directions given to them by crossing guards. This

includes crossing only when directed, no running, or riding bicycles at crossings.

Bicycle Safety:

Persons riding bicycles are subject to the same laws as motorists.

All bicyclists and passengers under the age of fourteen are required to wear approved bicycle helmets when they are on bicycles.

Regardless of what the law requires, the Garden City Police Department recom mends that ALL operators and passengers wear bicycle helmets. According to a 2016 report from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, an estimated 83 percent of all bicyclists killed in accidents were not wearing a bike helmet. Parents should set a good example and wear a helmet.

Teach your children how to ride a bicycle and practice riding in a safe location where there are no cars. It is important for children to learn how to signal, turn, slow down, and stop without falling. Hand signals for bicyclists are the same as for motorists.

Teach your children to be defensive when riding and NEVER assume a driver sees them.

Bicyclists should carefully look in all directions for vehicles, other bicyclists, and pedestrians. Take extra care when nearing intersections or driveways where vehicles may be turning.

Children should walk their bicycles across intersections.

Bicycles should be ridden in bicycle lanes when available or as close to the right edge of the roadway as practical in the same direction as traffic.

Ride your bicycle in single file only.

NEVER use a bicycle to carry more people than it was designed to carry. Never ride anyone on the handlebars.

When riding a bicycle, wear bright colored clothing and make sure the bicycle has proper reflectors.

DO NOT ride a bicycle while wearing earphones, talking, or texting on a phone. It is illegal to wear more than one earphone while riding a bicycle.

For details on equipping your bicycle safely and legally for Nassau County roads, contact the Garden City Police Department.

The music lineup at Ompahfest included Johnny Koenig, Spitze, Bavarski, the Austrian Boys, and the Plattduetsche’s own brass band, the Foehrer Musik Freunde. In addition, this year special guests from Germany, Spielmanns-Und Farfarenzug Eggenfelden E.V., traveled to participate in the festival. This event served as both an after-party to the Steuben Parade in NYC the day before and the kick-off to Oktoberfest season at the Plattduetsche, where a special menu and beers are available for purchase along with traditional German music bands and dancing on weekends through mid-October.

“Not only are we a restaurant, bar, biergarten and catering establishment, but also a German heritage clubhouse with a mission is to continue to preserve, strengthen and pass on German culture and traditions to new generations,” said General Manager Matthew Buck. “For us, Oktoberfest is the most wonderful time of the year, and we enjoy sharing the festivities with our guests.”

Oktoberfest-themed music and dance performances continue through October 15 on weekends, with a $5 cover charge from 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 12 p.m. on Sunday. A complete schedule of bands is available at parkrestaurant.com/event/oktoberfest-2022/.

North Hempstead Approves Climate Education And Outreach Plan

In September, Supervisor Jennifer DeSena and the Town Board unanimously adopted a climate education and outreach plan to build widespread understanding about climate change and actions we can take to mitigate and adapt to our changing world.

“This comprehensive plan ensures the community has an active voice in the town’s climate action work to realize a sustainable and resilient future,” stated Supervisor DeSena.

The plan includes six core components:

1. A community survey to benchmark and evaluate issues, perceptions, and beliefs around climate change among residents

2. An educational and interactive forum aimed at facilitating a dialogue about climate change

3. Virtual and live workshops focused on sustainable transportation and drinking water resiliency

4. The compilation of a comprehensive list of stakeholders

5. A climate action website

6. A climate action social media plan

“The centerpiece of this plan is collaboration,” stated Climate Smart Communities (CSC) Task Force member and Town Councilmember Mariann Dalimonte. “The town compiled a list of over one hundred stakeholders covering businesses, environmental groups, religious

institutions, academia, neighborhood asso ciations, food banks and outreach centers to ensure we are reaching every inch of the town effectively.”

The town’s Climate Stories Workshop, Transportation Innovation Series and Water Workshop were completed in the spring. Recordings and resources from these programs are available to the public on the town’s climate action website.

An active initiative of the plan is a communi ty benchmark survey to assess fears, concerns, and priorities associated with climate change today. The town collaborated with faculty at New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) to develop the survey, which can be found on the town’s website and is accessible in multiple languages.

“I encourage all residents of the town to take the survey to help the town prioritize planning and measure the impact our work has on the lives of residents over time” stated CSC Task Force member and Councilmember Veronica Lurvey. “We need to hear from you.”

Residents can access the survey and all other elements of the town’s Climate Education and Outreach plan at NorthHempsteadNY.gov/ ClimateAction.
