Roslyn Teen Featured In Second Solo Show

Manhasset library features art, hosts reception

AMANDA OLSEN aolsen@antonmediagroup.com

For Sydney Weisman, art is more than a pastime; it has been a ubiquitous presence in her life. Before she graduated to oils and mixed media, she was making sculptures with the wax wrap ping from her mini cheeses at lunch and crafting things from duct tape. “Many of my earliest memories are of art. I’ve been making art for as long as I can remember.” Weisman said.

Weisman also credits growing up in such a culturally rich and accessible area for instilling her love of art at an early age. Her family took her to the city often, and she was captivated by both the art and her ob servations of the people viewing it. “I was really lucky to grow up in a place where it’s so easy to access places to view art. So I would go on day trips to the city with my parents or grandparents to the MET and the MoMA and I would do little doodles there. And as I got older, I would go in with my sketchbook and just copy certain things that I liked from different artists.”

There is a level of discipline in Weisman that you don’t often see at such a young age. She practices her techniques when ever she has a free moment, but also maintains a regimented schedule. “During the summers I would paint for 20 hours a week, and during the school year I paint for 10 hours a week. And in college when I took a painting course I would just like go in whenever I have free time, bring a friend do a quick like hour and a half portrait of them. I did around 60 1-hour portraits where I would give myself like an hour, maybe like an hour 15 minutes, to capture someone’s portrait. And when you’re under that time constraint It makes you look at what’s essential.” This dedication to practice and honing her skills is evident in her paintings.

People are a strong source of inspiration for Weisman, who cites portraiture as a favorite category of work. “I just love watching people. It’s so crazy how a single stroke can change someone’s entire expres sion, (their) demeanor. That’s something I’ve always found really exciting about portraiture, because of the story you can tell through the expressions on your faces.”

The process for her work usually begins

with a photo, which she then revisits when she returns home. She evaluates them for composition and light to determine if they would translate well into her chosen medium. “Photos can be taken on a simple, mundane, activity that I do regularly or when I go into the city, taking pictures of people on the street...I’m always taking pictures and always analyzing what I see.”

During the pandemic, Weisman was able to explore many different mediums, including colored pencil, gouache, watercolor, acrylic, paint marker and wood burning and whittling. She has also been throwing pottery for many years. While at college she created an installation called Plarn in Place, which involved creating yarn from discarded

plastic. This material, called “plarn,” was then crocheted around a tree. She is also interested in exploring digital design and using some of those designs to produce 3d printed and laser cut projects. When it comes to her plans for college and beyond, it should surprise no one that art features prominently. However, Weisman’s passion extends beyond her own interests. Her enthusiasm for art may be driving her to share it with others. “I just love how art brings people together and connects people. During the summer I spent time teaching art to kids at a camp and (I loved) seeing how much joy making art can bring them. It doesn’t matter your skill level or anything, It’s just so fun and joyful and free. And I would

love to continue to teach art in that way, or pursue a master’s in teaching art so that I can continue to share it.”

The Manhasset Library is currently ex hibiting the art of Sydney Weisman through the end of January 2023. This featured artist has over 60 works on display throughout the three floors of the building.

This is Weisman’s second comprehen sive, one-woman show at the Manhasset Library. Her paintings have been featured in The Roslyn School of Painting’s Annual Art Show. They have also been a part of the “Juxtaposition” art show in 2020 and the “Art in the Pandemic” show earlier this year, both at the Manhasset Library. Select works have also been published in Emulate Magazine at Smith College. On Nov. 26 from 2 to 4 p.m. there will be a reception and an opportunity to meet Sydney Weisman in person.

This year, the students of Henry Viscardi at The Viscardi Center School honored local veterans from the American Legion in New Hyde Park and the VFW in Albertson by hosting a parade through the hallways of the school. Over 160 students lined the halls waving small American flags, holding signs and handing out handmade cards. The parade was followed by a ceremony to dedicate its new Veterans and 9/11 Memorial Garden, the vision of students in the school’s R.A.M.P. program.

Due to their physical disabilities the

Viscardi students often cannot attend their local community Veterans Day parades, so they decided to organize their own accessible parade to take place at their school to honor the local veterans. In addition, this recognition ties back to The Viscardi Center’s roots when Dr. Henry Viscardi, Jr. founded it in 1952 to show that disabled veterans returning from World War II and Korea had the skills and ability to be successful, productive employees. Viscardi’s students and staff are committed to hosting the parade annually.

Viscardi School Veterans Day Parade Roslyn School District Honors Veterans

There was a sea of American flags and students in red, white, and blue across the Roslyn School District on Thursday, Nov. 10 in honor of Veterans Day.

Patriotic music, performed by the Roslyn High School Color Guard, kicked off a schoolwide assembly inside the gym at Harbor Hill Elementary School, where nearly a dozen local veterans were in attendance to hear the chorus sing songs in honor of America. They included: Roslyn School District employees Keith Macias, Jerry Zee, Christian Foschi, Daniel Liebman, John Palladino, Barry Basik, John Flanagan, Francisco Enriquez, Ron Ebright, Larry Becker, and Jake Starnes. Principal Michelle Hazen and Assistant Principal Justin Gabrus directed the assem bly, which was attended by Superintendent Allison Brown and Roslyn Board of Education President Meryl Waxman Ben-Levy.

East Hills Elementary School hosted an assembly outside to honor two local veter ans: First Lieutenant Allen Gershlak, and Sergeant Paul Cesarski, a former employee of the Roslyn School District. Students, faculty, and staff, together with Principal Sherry Ma, Assistant Principal Jennifer Sheehan, Assistant Superintendent Karina Baez, Superintendent Allison Brown, and Roslyn Board of Education President Meryl Waxman Ben-Levy, gathered around the flagpole at the front entrance to hear the children sing patriotic songs and listen to a performance of Taps by East Hills parent and professional trumpet player, Trevor Schaper.

Students at Roslyn Middle School began their day by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, observing a moment of silence, and listening to “America, the Beautiful” over the loudspeaker. Roslyn High School commemorated the service of America’s armed forces by holding a school-wide moment of silence after listening to a poignant

and meaningful description of Veterans Day during morning announcements, followed by a moving recitation of Taps by a high school student-musician.

Faster, Easier Method Of

Turkey This Season

LAUREN FELDMAN

The holidays are fast approaching and for many of us, preparations have already begun. Often central to the proceedings is the question of food; is it time to send a pre-order slip to a local restaurant? Or will the meal be prepared at home this year? For those in the latter category, the holiday season pres ents an annual challenge of time management, as dish after dish is produced under a tight schedule. The result is a wonderful dinner for guests and family to enjoy, but a hard day—or days—of work leading up to it.

Since the turn of the 19th century, turkey has been a staple of the holiday meal. Many of us go the traditional route, a slow-and-steady oven roast. For a smaller bird, this might be a

two- or three-hour process. For a larger-sized turkey, a full roast can take up to four or five hours.

To compensate, home cooks wake at dawn to put the turkey in the oven—or even prepare the

night before—to ensure the star of the meal will be ready in time. This is well and good for those who truly enjoy the process, but for those of us who just wish we could speed things up, there is

another cooking method worthy of consideration: spatchcocking.

Spatchcocking is a preparation style which has gained household popularity in recent years. It stems from the “butterfly” meth od, which involves preparing poultry by slicing it nearly in two but leaving the parts connected. The basics of spatchcocking are as follows: Turn your turkey breast-side down on a cutting board. With kitchen shears, cut first along one side of the backbone, then along the other. Remove the backbone and open the bird like an upside-down book, with the cut end face-down and the skin face-up. Flatten your bird, then season as desired and it is now ready to cook. What are the benefits of the spatchcock method? Perhaps most important is the time factor. By more than doubling its surface area, spatchcocking a turkey cuts the average cooking time by up to 75 percent. This means less time hovering in the kitchen and more

time with family and friends (or some extra sleep that morning).

Spatchcocking also achieves a more even cook because the meat is flatter in the oven, unlike a traditional roast which requires readjustment of the bird and oven temperature. And unlike the more delicate butterfly method, spatchcocking was designed for those with ordinary supplies and skills. It is an easier, more feasible method for the typical home cook who does not have high-end supplies.

The method does come with a notable shortfall. Spatchcocking produces a slightly drier dark meat than a traditional tur key, as this is the meat which traditionally rests in the juices at the end of the roast. So, if you have a preference for extra juicy dark meat, this is likely not the method for you. However, if given a chance, the spatchcock method might just prove to be both a time and energy saver this holiday season.

Night On The Town Tasting Event Benefits Michael Magro Foundation

The Michael Magro Foundation was delighted to be the beneficiary of “A Night on the Town,” a tasting event hosted by Warriors for a Cause on Oct. 24. More than 350 attendees turned out to network, enjoy tasty offerings displayed by nearly 30 local restaurants, vineyards and bakeries to honor Paul, Terrie and Marc Magro, the forces behind the Michael Magro Foundation.

A Night on the Town, which was held at Mineola’s Jericho Terrace, featured music, raffles, auction items, and of course, an abundance of generously donated foods. Laughter and conversation filled the venue’s rooms as attendees reveled in the ability to gather in person and enjoy the many tasty food and drink offered. The highlight of the evening was the honoring of the Magro family for their work with the foundation, all done in the name of Michael, their son/ brother who lost his battle to cancer at age 13. Warrior for a Cause presented the Magros with a check for $71,000, proceeds from the evening and reflective of the event’s success.

The foundation, which held its own remarkably successful tasting event, an Evening of Tasting & Giving, until the start

of the pandemic, is grateful to have been approached by Warriors for a Cause, a 501c3 volunteer run organization that raises money for several local not-for-profits, charities and foundations. Founded in 2013, this charitable group of like-minded men and women came together to form an ever-broadening social circle that helps support causes close to their hearts.

Michael Magro Foundation Vice President/Co-Founder Terrie Magro, expressed her appreciation to all those who supported the outing. “What a remarkable

evening, filled with new friends and old friends alike. Paul, Marc and I are just so pleased and grateful to everyone involved with Warriors for a Cause, as well as our supporters who came out for this event. All of you made this evening possible and ensured the foundation’s ability to continue helping families with a child battling cancer as they try to navigate this chaotic time. We are so grateful to have all of the Warriors for a Cause become part of the Michael Magro Foundation family.”

Sponsors for the 2022 outing include Gold Sponsor for the Night on the Town is Americana Manhasset. Silver Sponsors for the event are East End Group and Lalezarian Properties. Bronze Sponsors include Black Dahlia Floral & Event Design, Bulovas Restorations and the Edward Smith Mineola Lions Club.

The Michael Magro Foundation is a nonprofit organization founded by Paul and Terrie Magro to honor the life of their son Michael, who passed away from leukemia at age 13. The foundation works with the Cancer Center for Kids at NYU Langone Long Island Hospital, Stony Brook Children’s Cancer Division, and others— NYU, Cohen’s and Stony Brook—pediatric

specialties where treatment of chronic diseases is ongoing, as well as with children’s hospitals throughout Florida, Texas, Oregon and California. New hospitals in states throughout the nation are partnering with the foundation to provide services to their youngest patients. Core programs offered are Life Essentials [helping families struggling financially during their child’s treatment with non-medical expenses]; Project SOAR [providing support for childhood cancer patients, families, students and teachers when the child returns to school following a long illness]; and Bonding With Baby [helping siblings of babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) communicate and bond]. In partnership with The Spencer Foundation, the Michael Magro Foundation offers Operation Playcation, an initiative providing inpatient pediatric hospital patients with new PlayStation units and games.

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilman Tom Hand recently announced that the town’s massive ‘Cruise-Thru’ Toys for Tots Collection Drive will take place at John Burns Park in Massapequa on Saturday, Dec. 3, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. (rain date is Sunday, Dec. 4). In partnership with the United States Marine Corps and Optimum, the Town is collecting toys to help families and those less fortunate throughout the community during the upcoming holiday season. In addition to the ‘Cruise-Thru’, collection boxes are located at town facilities through Dec. 14.

Saladino said, “The Toys for Tots Drive has long been a huge success under the leadership of the U.S. Marine Corps, especially here in the Town of Oyster Bay, as just last year we collected over 20,000 toys for Long Island children. I encourage all of our residents who are able to donate to this amazing cause, as the Toys for Tots Drive helps ensure that disadvantaged children within our community do not have to go the holiday season without something to bring them happiness.”

The ‘Cruise Thru Holiday Toy Drive’ will provide residents an excellent way to con tribute directly to the cause and help bring

a smile to a child’s face this holiday season. Additionally, the event will feature an appearance by Santa Claus, and a drop box where kids can drop their letters to Santa off at. Letters dropped off with a legible name and return address will be answered by Santa before the holiday.

“Toys for Tots sends a message of hope to less fortunate children who otherwise wouldn’t be receiving presents this holiday season,” Hand said. “I urge residents, who can, to donate new unwrapped toys to any of our drop-off locations. By making a donation, you can help ease the financial burden of families hardest hit by the effects of the coronavirus this holiday season.”

Toys for Tots Collection Boxes are located at the following locations:

Oyster Bay Town Hall North, 54 Audrey Ave., Oyster Bay; Town Hall South, 977 Hicksville Rd., Massapequa;

Ice Skating Center at Bethpage Community Park, 1001 Stewart Ave., Bethpage.

Thanksgiving Greeting

John Adams, second President of the United States, sent a mov ing letter to Francois A. Van der Kemp, who was one of the Dutch radical leaders of the Patriot Party. Van de Kemp was also a minister and publicist who gave the Patriot movement a Christian tint in his blazing speeches. I quote the following from Adams’ letter to Van der Kemp:

“I will insistthe Hebrews have [contributed] more to civilize men than any other nation. If I was an atheist and believed in blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations … They are the most glorious nation that ever inhabit ed this Earth.

The Romans and their empire were but a bubble in com parison to the Jews.They have

return for the mystery by which we live. Who is worthy to be present at the constant unfolding of time? Amidst the meditation of mountains, the humility of flowers—wiser than all alpha bets—clouds that die constantly for the sake of God’s glory, we

are hating, hunting, hurting. Suddenly we feel ashamed of our clashes and complaints in the face of the tacit glory in nature. It is so embarrassing to live! How strange we are in the world, and how presumptuous our doings! Only one response can maintain us: gratefulness for witnessing the wonder, for the gift of our

unearned right to serve, to adore and to fulfill. It is gratefulness which makes the soul great.”

It would have been so easy for the pilgrims of 1621 to focus on what they didn’t have. Yet, their story reminds us that any moment is one to focus on what we have been given and to say thank you for it. Each day in this week of Thanksgiving and beyond—we say the words of the Psalmist Hodu—Give thanks to our Creator for it is good.

As we sit to eat our turkey (which in modern Hebrew is the same word—hodu), may we know just how good is our bounty and how great is our blessing. We should celebrate the holiday of Thanksgiving EVERY DAY and through our behavior, we will show our unlimited appreciation to the true Source of all our blessings.

Seven Tips For Choosing Your Health Benefits For 2023

BY PHILLIP FRANZ

Amid higher inflation, you may be looking at ways to adjust your lifestyle and spending habits. But when it comes to health care, it’s important to keep your well-being and budget in mind.

Annual or open enrollment season is here—a time when more than 19 million people in New York state and millions of Americans across the country will have the opportunity to select or switch their health insurance plan for the coming year.

Open enrollment is a good chance to review how often you’re using health services and decide whether you’ll stick with the plan you’ve got or switch to another being offered. It’s also an opportunity to assess your overall care costs to ensure you’re choosing a plan that will work best for next year’s budget.

Enrollment timing: For people with coverage from their employer, open enrollment typically happens for two weeks sometime between September and December. Medicare members can enroll or make changes to coverage from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7. Most selections made will take effect on Jan. 1, 2023.

Here are seven tips to help in choosing a health plan through work, the Exchange Marketplace or Medicare:

1Consider all your options. Take time to understand and compare the benefits, services and costs of each plan, so you can figure out which will work best for you. A good first step may be to watch a quick refresher video on health insurance lingo, including premiums, deductibles, copays, coinsurance and out-ofpocket maximums.

Medicare members: As you weigh your options, ensure you’re familiar with the difference between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage. If you need a review, visit www. MedicareEducation.com—an online resource with answers to

questions about eligibility, plan choices, cost basics, prescription coverage and more.

Check your prescription benefits. Knowing how to get the most out of your prescription benefits may help you manage costs. For example, check into discounts and lower-cost alternatives, including generics, which may be available. You may also be able to fill your prescriptions at a participating network pharmacy or with home delivery by mail—two more money-saving options.

2

Don’t forget about specialty benefits. Additional benefits, such as dental, vision, hearing or critical illness insurance, are often available and may contribute to overall well-being.

Medicare members: You may be surprised that Original Medicare doesn’t cover most dental, vision and hearing services, but many Medicare Advantage plans do.

Medicare members: You may be surprised to learn Original Medicare doesn’t generally cover prescription drugs. Consider adding Part D or a Medicare Advantage plan with prescription drug coverage to help keep your medication costs in check.

3

Check for mental health coverage. In addition to in-person mental health care, you may have access to a large virtual network of therapists and psychiatrists. Some health insurers also offer advocacy services to help you find the right type of behavioral health care.

Medicare members: Some plans offer virtual mental health care with a $0 copay, including UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage.

5

Look into wellness programs. Many health plans offer incentives that reward you for taking healthier actions, such as completing a health survey, exercising or avoiding nicotine.

Medicare members: Many Medicare Advantage plans also offer gym memberships and wellness programs for members at no additional cost.

6

Anticipate next year’s health expenses. If you’re expecting a significant health event in the next year, such as surgery or the birth of a child, compare the differences in plan designs for that specific situation, including any out-of-pocket costs.

7

Consider a plan with virtual care services. If you’re busy or just prefer connecting with a doctor from the convenience of your home,

Talking About Weight With Your Kids

The holidays are here and it’s not un common for people of all ages, including children, to pack on extra pounds. The sugary treats and heavy meals are abundant and many kids tend to be less active during the colder weather.

Regardless of the season, it’s always a good time to talk to your kids about healthy eating—especially with many adults and children alike having put on weight from stress eating and pandemic inactivity.

Sadly, being significantly overweight is common. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the per centage of children and adolescents affected by obesity has more than tripled since the 1970s. Today, nearly 1 in 5 school age U.S. children and young people (6 to 19 years) is considered obese. When you factor in those who are considered overweight but not yet obese, the figure rises to 31 percent.

Why the dramatic increase? Behavior and habits are the most likely factors, with tech nology playing a big role. Many families have become sedentary, with TV, computers and videogames as the culprits. Both kids and parents are often modeling these behaviors.

Of course, shaming a child for being over weight is never appropriate. Approach the issue as a family topic rather than focusing on an individual child. The message should be that we all need to eat more healthy foods like fruit, vegetables and lean proteins and less fatty, fried or sugary foods so we feel better and have more energy.

Here are some guidelines when broaching the subject of weight with your children, as per recommendations from The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics: Foster open dialogue. Encourage your kids to share their thoughts and feelings about body image. When children discuss feelings about weight, be sure to listen and acknowledge that the feelings are real. Explain that people come in all different shapes and sizes, and you love your child no matter what.

Don’t make negative comments. Judging your own body or your child’s can result in lasting detrimental effects to your child’s body image and relationship with food. Set a good example for children in the way you talk about your own body as well as others.

Take action. Children learn fast and they learn best by example. Teach children habits that will help keep them healthy for life. Look for ways to spend fun, active time together.

Avoid the blame game. Never yell, scream, bribe, threaten or punish children about weight, food or physical activity. If you turn these issues into parent-child battle grounds, the results can be harmful. Shame, blame and anger are setups for failure.

Talk with your healthcare provider. If a health professional mentions a concern about your child’s weight, speak with the professional privately. Discuss specific concerns and ask for suggestions on making positive changes in your family’s eating habits and activity levels.

Seek advice. Look for a registered dietitian with a specialty in pediatric weight management. Many hospitals and clinics have comprehensive programs with edu cation and activities for both kids and adult family members that may be covered by your health insurance plan.

The Garden City Trojans field hockey team has a history of success, and this year’s team has kept their record of success intact.

In the 2022 fall season, goalie Mackenzie Wehrum, our November Athlete of the Month at Anton Media Group, contributed a lot toward making that happen, according to her coaches and teammates.

Athlete Of The Month: Mackenzie Wehrum, Field Hockey

After a strong season in goal with a .91 save percentage, Wehrum had three shutouts in the post season and allowed only two goals, guiding her team to the New York State Finals. Her outstanding play earned her all-tournament honors.

On Thursday, November 3, Wehrum’s shutout helped her team to claim the Long Island Championship this season, a title which the Trojans have held for the past seven out of eight years (with 2020’s Covid-impacted season being the exception.)

During this year’s playoffs, Wehrum only allowed two goals, and clocked over 40 saves, as well as a 0.15 GAA.

“Since I stepped on the field my freshman year of high school I have only fallen in love with the sport more

as the years have gone by. I have done whatever I could through the years to play as much as I can and I have done just that. I am determined to make myself a better player not just for myself but for the teams that I am on. I am determined that when I do eventually get to play field hockey in college to work hard to better myself for my future team and coaches,” Wehrum said in her NCSA college recruiting profile personal statement.

Scheduled to graduate this spring, Wehrum won’t have too long to wait before her college playing career begins. She has already committed to playing for Saint Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire, where she’ll enroll as a freshman for the 20232025 school year.

2. The Pasta Queen by Nadia Caterina Munno

Tilles Center

Eglevsky Ballet, Long Island’s premier ballet company and academy, presents its annual production of the holiday classic, “The Nutcracker” starring New York City Ballet soloist Miriam Miller as the “Sugar Plum Fairy” and New York City Ballet principal Tyler Angle as the “Cavalier”.

The production also stars Fox Weather meteorologist (and Instagram and TikTok sensation) Nick Kosir as “Dr. Stahlbaum”, the father of “Clara,” the ballet’s protagonist. Eglevsky Ballet brings the beloved story to the Tilles Center stage with Tchaikovsky’s magnificent score, stunning costumes, thrilling choreography and a cast comprised of more than 60 students and the company’s professional dancers. Eglevsky Ballet’s production is the longest, continuously running production on Long Island. Directed and choreographed by Executive Artistic Director Maurice Brandon Curry, Eglevsky Ballet’s produc tion tells the story of a young girl named “Clara” and how a mysterious gift from her godfather, “Herr Drosselmeyer” brings about an enchanted, fantastical dream. The Eglevsky Ballet has presented The Nutcracker as a holiday gift for children of all ages since 1961. This exciting pro duction is a vibrant representation of the trajectory in which Mr. Curry is leading the organization.

This year, the role of “Clara” will be danced by professional company member, Briana Laman. The “Nutcracker Prince” will be portrayed by professional company member, Ryan Cavaline. The central first act pas de deux in the prelude to “Waltz of the Snowlflakes” is usually danced by a “Snow Queen” and a “Snow King”. Mr. Curry has the music (his personal favorite in the ballet) performed by the characters “Clara” and “The Nutcracker Prince”. “Having this pas de deux danced by these two characters,” Curry says, “intensifies the connection between the two characters. We see the arc of their relationship and gives the opportunity for Clara’s dream to have a more poignant and personal effect on our audiences.”

This year, Eglevsky Ballet is partnering

with Birthday Wishes of Long Island to offer support assistance in their mission. Birthday Wishes provides a birthday gift and a “Birthday-in-a-Box” for children experiencing homelessness.

Jamie Rapfogel, the Director of the Long Island Branch states, “We are thrilled to partner with the Eglevsky Ballet and their holiday performance of The Nutcracker this December at the Tilles Center!

What a special way to allow the families we serve to experience the magic and delight that this event allows. Just like our mission, of Eglevsky Ballet providing birthday parties to children experiencing homelessness brings feelings of normalcy and joy so does the honor of watching the Eglevsky Ballet’s holiday extravaganza!”

Eglevsky Ballet is asking all who attend the performances to bring an unwrapped toy for boys and girls ages 1-17 to donate to Birthday Wishes.

Do not miss these performances of The Nutcracker with Long Island’s own Eglevsky Ballet at the Tilles Center on Dec. 17 at 1 p.m. and again at 6 p.m. and on Dec. 18 at 2 p.m. Featuring live music provided by the Park Avenue Chamber Symphony and guest stars from New York City Ballet and television, it is a produc tion not to be missed.

Tickets may be purchased at the Tilles Center box office or through Ticketmaster.

Cheese Ball Dip

BY CHRISTY HINKO chinko@antonmediagroup.com

Hands down, dips and spreads make the all-time favorites list when it comes to appetizers, but as equally yummy as the finger food appetizer counterparts like deviled eggs, chicken wings, nachos and quesadillas. That said, dips and spreads are in a class of their own.

The list of possible ingredients is endless, although many have a standard base ingredient, a cream cheese or a sour cream. e added ingredients are wide-ranging too: anything from some of the more savory things like artichokes, avocados, bacon, mushrooms, olives,

yogurts and fruity mangoes and apples.

ey are so versatile and come in so many variations and easily complement any holiday, event or occasion. And when you are planning a party, your appetizer menu is one of the rst things you might consider, including some of the more

important to consider how easily the dip or spread transfers. Is it scoopable? Is it spreadable? Do you need a sturdy cracker or chip to pair with it? Which utensils are best-suited for the job? Is it served in a bowl or on a plate? Is it served warm or chilled?

Dips and spreads are always a crowd-pleaser. Here is one of my personal family recipes.

Cheese Ball

8 oz. cream cheese, softened ¼ c. chopped walnuts (or almonds or pecans) 1 Tbsp cooking sherry ¼ c. walnuts, toasted and chopped

In medium bowl, combine rst three ingredients. Shape into a ball and chill, covered for at least three hours. Roll in toasted walnuts to coat. Serve with crackers; Triscuit or any

Thoughtful Ways To Give Thanks

For many Americans, the holiday season is a time for joy, gratitude and spending quality time with loved ones. However, with inflation at 8.2 percent, more than half (54 percent) of consumers plan to spend less on holiday gifts this year. With this in mind, here is a list of three ways to show your loved ones how much you ap preciate them this holiday season—with out breaking the bank.

1. The average person spends five hours a week cleaning. Taking the initiative to clean up the dirtiest areas of your home will allow you and your loved ones to spend more time to

gift of peace of mind.

2. When we hear about selfcare, we often think of bubble baths and scented candles. However, 54 percent of people strongly agree that having a completely clean home is one of the most calming feelings. Surprising your loved ones with a clean home will help them relax without the bow.

3. Give the chef in your life a well-de served break by cooking and cleaning up afterwards. Not only will your loved ones enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal, but they will also be thrilled by the sparkling clean kitchen.

Hit The Off Switch Bone Appétit!

Hit movie Home Alone

made waves about hapless holiday makers leaving their child behind. But in the real world, what gadgets are most likely to have been left on in the home when people head abroad?

The holiday car rental experts at StressFreeCarRental. com have researched online for the most likely items in the home to be left on and come up with a checklist of things that need to be turned off before leaving the house.

As well as saving vital energy and reducing the risk of acci dents in your absence, these top tips will also help people save money during the current cost of living crisis.

The following steps can identify fire risks, other potential hazards and energy draining sources. But they point out not everything can be turned off, cit ing burglar and intruder alarms

which must be checked to see they are in good working order. Switch these things off before heading off on your travels:

Chargers

Unplugging chargers is a good tactic as they draw power into their power supplies constantly, so you can make an energy and cost saving.

Lights

You need to consider turning lights off, although weighing up if you will have a timer switch to factor in. Sometimes there are lights in the attic, garage or basement which are forgotten about and need to be turned off.

Modems and routers

By turning these off you can also prevent hackers from getting into your wifi as well as saving on power.

Heating

It’s a waste of money and energy to heat the house when you are away in the summer. Consider keeping the heating on very low if on holiday in the winter.

Kitchen appliances

Some of these are worth unplugging to save electricity and reduce the fire risk to your home. But not all—it would be unwise to turn off the fridge and freezer leaving you in a real mess on your return. Weigh up which appliances can safely be turned off.

Water

Locate the stopcock and turn off the water before leaving home on your holidays. It’s important as it will help prevent water leaks that can result in expensive floods and damage.

—StressFreeCarRental.com

The holiday season is the most wonderful time to celebrate with your friends and family, but also with your pets. A recent survey by the leading sustainable and biotech-driven pet food company, Wild Earth, shows that pet parents love including their furry friends on special occasions.

Do something special

Only 6.5 percent of pet owners don’t do anything special with their pets— which means a whopping 93.5 percent of you do.

Pets are truly part of our families, so it makes sense that they are involved in our celebrations.

Play dress-up

This year, grab a few sizes of your favorite holiday outfit. People everywhere are dressing their pooches up in their favorite acces sories and costumes. A little bow or Santa hat is the perfect addition to any pet’s wardrobe.

Photo shoot

Gathering the whole family for a photo takes divine intervention, but your pet is always ready to get their cute picture taken. A pet photoshoot is sure to make your pup the star of the holiday card.

Special meal

Bone appétit! The holidays are the time to try out new recipes and cook your family’s traditional favorites. You can whip up a special dish for your pet using clean, high-pro tein ingredients such as spinach, sweet potatoes, carrots and even cranberry sauce.

Buy a gift

Unwrapping presents isn’t just for our human family. Pets are part of your family too, so treat them to a special and healthy gift you know they will just love.

Jimmy Smits’ Fave Acting Influences

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

With a storied line of crime procedurals under his belt ranging from a guest shot on Miami Vice and a major role on L.A. Law to starring in NYPD Blue and the late lamented Bluff City Law, Jimmy Smits wasn’t looking to go back down that path. That is, until Emmy Award-winning producer and director William Finkelstein, who knew Smits from back in the L.A. Law/NYPD Blue days, hipped the native New Yorker to the project the former was working on for CBS. All it took was mentioning the neighborhood the show was going to be based in to catch Smits’ attention.

“William Finklestein and I were having conversations, because we keep in touch,” Smits shared. “He was getting ready to do a cop show and it kind of came on my radar specifically because of all the stuff that transpired during COVID-19 with regards to this kind of spotlight on law enforcement transgressions and all of that. I told him good luck with that and it was beautiful to have this woman’s voice as the driving force behind this particular precinct and the whole thing about community policing. Then he said it was set in

a section of New York called East New York that not too many people know about. I told him to stop right there because that was my Wonder Years place. When I came back from living a couple of years in Puerto Rico, I was going to school [in East New York]. Pretty much my junior high school, high school and first years of college were all in that neighborhood. That’s where my first child was born, when I started going to college and making the choice to become an actor. All of those things happened in East New York, so I have an affinity for it.”

Smits plays veteran two-star Chief John Suarez, who serves as a mentor to Amanda Warren’s Deputy Inspector Regina Haywood, whose character was recently promoted to head up East New York’s 74th Precinct. Rounding out the cast are a number of familiar faces (Rubin Santiago-Hudson’s officer Marvin Sandeford and Richard Kind’s Captain Stan Yenko) and new talent (Elizabeth Rodriguez’s Detective Crystal Morales and Olivia Luccardi’s officer Brandy Quinn). The driving narratives for East New York revolve around the complex relationship between

law enforcement and local citizens in a lower income community of color. The combination of a talented cast and character-driven storylines were irresistible to Smits with the title locale being the deciding factor.

“For me, if you don’t have the character element in [a project] then I don’t want to see it,” Smits explained. “The stars felt like they aligned in regards to what’s happening with law enforcement and what’s been happening in New York along with women empowerment and having a character who is really a strong voice. We’ve come up with this ensemble of actors that is really tight and wonderful, but the characters are really compelling, unique and they each have their own spin on [the storylines]. It felt like something I really wanted to be a part of. And also for my old neighborhood—to kind of give props to it and give back in a way. That’s why I’m on this show.”

Having fallen in love with the art of acting, Smits was more than happy to share those talents that helped shape his career trajectory.

Raúl Juliá (March 9, 1940 to October 24, 1994)

“He was a brilliant, sanguine force of nature in terms of his acting ability. But the fact that he came from the place that my moms came from and his first language was Spanish. And he loved the classics. All of those things influenced me in terms of making a choice and me being able to see him out there working like that. It influenced me with regards to becoming an actor myself. He’s tops on the list.”

James Earl Jones (January 17, 1931 to present)

“He is somebody that has broken barriers and has an immense love for the theater. I admire the work he’s done on film and through the years, he’s had a sustaining career.”

Katherine Hepburn (May 12, 1907 to June 29, 2003)

Rita Moreno (December 11, 2011 to present)

“Both of them in terms of powerful women who have come

from minority/disadvantaged communities. Because of their ethnicity and gender, they’ve had to work twice as hard [to succeed]. That energy is fascinating to me.”

Peter Brook (March 21, 1925 to July 3, 2022)

“One day a director— who is very famous in the theater world named Peter Brook, came to this community group I was involved with as a kid. He had this international group of actors from Africa, a Nordic-looking woman, a Japanese kabuki actor and kind of created an international language of theater. [Ed. Note: International Centre for Theatre Research]. It fascinated me that theater has such power and it fermented for this teenager at the time—to see if I could really do this as a profession. A light went on in terms of the power of physicality, space and telling stories. That moment really influenced me. It’s like a marker for me.”

Gregory Peck (April 5, 1916 to June 12, 2003)

“I did this film called Old Gringo and it was another kind of marker for me. Greg became a mentor and a friend. He was someone whose activism, along with Jane Fonda’s, was something I looked at. Along with the way he carried his life and approached his feelings about the artist’s ability to enlighten while doing his work at the same time. It touched me in so many different ways.”

HOROSCOPES

By Holiday Mathis

By Holiday Mathis

Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s easier to be sure-footed when you’re walking the stability of a known world. While there may be a lot that needs to change, when you think about all the systems and routines that have to go right to keep things marching along, you feel grateful for whatever is happening smoothly in this part of life.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). e week goes well if you don’t get too wrapped up in winning. at would make your game tight and vulnerable to mistakes of tension. Back o and consider two ways to relax into your play. Pretend like you have so much advantage you’ll never run out, or imagine instead that you have no advantage and therefore nothing to lose.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s a good time for social strategizing. For instance, you may want to decide ahead of time what and how you will share with people. It is both kind and smart to consider the expectations of others. When in doubt, go for a pleasant state of neutrality. Avoid inspiring envy and controversy or giving people a reason to focus unhelpfully.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Financial demands seem a ordable when someone else is paying. Chores and maintenance go faster when done by others. As true as this may be, you still prefer to take care of things on your own. Your reward for this is that you become incredibly capable, con dent, vital, attractive, forward-thinking and unstoppable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll speak words of kindness if they come to you, but you don’t have to. e way you hold yourself open to the world, the nice things you think to yourself about the strangers passing by and the friendliness of your smile contribute more than you know to the spirit of gentleness that would ideally prevail in a better world.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). e act of creating a fantasy is like giving yourself a gift. e right fantasy can do more than entertain you. It can give you the clues about the life you might create for yourself. It can be the vision that shows you where you could go and pulls you into a future that would delight you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). is week’s to-do list contains items that are less than fascinating, but give them more attention than you think they deserve. ey have potential to advance you, perhaps delightfully so. It is the details -- the glorious, captivating details -- that will provide the magic of the week.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As much as you’d like others to focus on the same things that matter to you, it won’t happen often this week. ere are bene ts to the diverse energies, though. You’ll get more versions of the story, and multiple viewpoints will be interesting, broadening the scope of your project and causing you to learn more, and quickly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). In the animal kingdom, there are not enemies, just creatures competing for resources. Humans tend to see the competition as sinister, and yet the same principle applies. Take moral bias out of the equation and you will see people in terms of what they need or want, not in subjective terms of good and evil.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You are good at many things and great at something that is rare. Too much time has passed since you gave much-deserved attention to your talent. Use your exceptional gift this week, or at the very least, plan to use it soon, building the schedule, training or environment to make this possible.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have powers so terrifying and awesome you wouldn’t dare use them regularly. at would be like using a lightning bolt to do the work of a stapler. You don’t need to deploy these powers this week, though the thought will cross your mind. It’s a con dent feeling just to remember what you are capable of.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You embrace duty, knowing it’s not likely to change. People say it gets easier, but “it” actually remains about the same. What happens is that you get stronger, as well as smarter, more innovative and capable until one day, the task that used to make you sweat will be a piece of cake. at day is coming sooner than you think.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

It’s wonderful to know yourself this well. Past lessons braid together, and things you didn’t understand will suddenly start making sense in a way that applies directly to the main challenges of your life. New relationships are the e ervescence of the year, and though delightful and breezy, you’ll be surprised at how supportive these ties can be. Ask for the help you need to better position yourself in the professional realm. A mentor will be key. Also, a nancial issue will be set right.

was right. South would have made six clubs, scoring 1,370 points, whereas East would have gone down only three — 500 points — at six hearts doubled.

North’s seven-club bid is certainly questionable. He could have passed and left the decision to South, who was probably in a better position to

WORD FIND

Say cheese!

judge whether to double or go on. But North feared that if the EastWest hands were as distributional as his own, East might make six hearts.

West led a heart, and South pro ceeded to make the grand slam despite his apparently certain spade loser. He ruffed the heart in dummy, drew two rounds of trump and then cashed five diamond tricks, discarding a spade from his hand. Two more rounds of trump, ending in dummy, brought about this posi tion: North

The lead of the ten of clubs from dummy left East with no recourse. If he discarded a spade, South would discard a heart; if he dis carded a heart, South would dis card a spade. Either way, South would win the last three tricks.

Note that an opening spade lead by West would have defeated the contract by cutting a critically important link between the North and South hands.

Triumphant Return For Marching Bulldogs

Last month, the Roslyn Marching Bulldogs returned home late afternoon on Halloween to a cheering crowd in front of the high school—excited to congratulate them on their first place division win at the Field Band Championship in Syracuse.

Board of Education President Meryl Waxman Ben-Levy, Vice President Michael Levine, Superintendent Allison Brown, Roslyn High School Principal Scott Andrews, along with various administrators, parents, and community members, cheered as the buses pulled into the circle. The Roslyn Fire Department was also on site. They blasted their sirens as the buses arrived.

Smiling students disembarked with wide smiles, surprised and happy to see all the banners and pom-poms awaiting them. Band Director Frank Mauriello passed the winning trophy around so everyone could snap photos.

After being greeted by friends and family members, students headed to an ice cream

truck, brought in to give them a sweet treat after their long ride home.

Pictured here are parents and well-wishers welcoming band members home.

EDITORIAL: OUR OPINION

Playing To Win, Playing To Lose

To our Democratic Party readers: After that sigh of relief, thank your fel low New Yorker, Sen. Charles Schumer. The latter outfoxed, outmaneuvered, and out hustled his rival, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R---KY) at every turn.

Schumer plays to win.

When McConnell would pour his PAC money on a certain Republican candidate in a certain Republican primary, Schumer would respond by spending funds on the opponent. New Hampshire is a case study. In the senate race, McConnell supported one Chuck Morse, believing that this state senator had a better chance of winning in the general election than his opponent, Gen. Donald Bolduc. Schumer prompt ly stepped in with ads ridiculing Morse

as a puppet of Mitch McConnell.

McConnell is not popular among rank-and-file Republicans in New Hampshire or, for that matter, anywhere in the country.

It worked.

Bolduc won the primary and lost the general. This scenario was repeated in several other states. The savvy Schumer ate McConnell’s lunch all throughout the campaign. It matters. If the GOP had managed to win control of the Senate, then they would have been able to inflict serious damage on the Democrats in 2024. That year, there will be a dozen or more Democratic seats in peril. The Republicans could have approached 60 senate seats. Schumer’s cunning gave the Democrats a reprieve.

To our Republican Party readers: Mitch McConnell is the most powerful Republican in America. He doesn’t campaign for Republicans, but he is able to raise hundreds of millions. There’s one catch.

McConnell plays to lose. A case in point was Blake Masters, the GOP’s senatorial candidate in Arizona. McConnell is a George W. Bush Republican: Free trade, mass immigration, and an aggressive foreign policy abroad. Masters was Trumpian: America First on all three issues, including a hard line on immigration. McConnell wanted a senate majority. He did not, however, want Masters to be part of it. His PAC delayed in sending cash to the Masters campaign even

when the race was close.

This is nothing unusual. In the past three elections, McConnell has played to lose. In 2016, the man, in our view, wanted Donald Trump to lose the elec tion and for the GOP to keep control of the senate. One for two. In 2020, more of the same: A Trump loss and a senate victory. Again, only one for two. This year, McConnell wanted a senate majority, but for certain Republicans, including Masters, to lose. If that meant losing the senate, so be it.

For McConnell and his fellow Senate Republicans, Donald Trump and those who emulate him are a greater threat to their world than anything Hillary Clinton or Joseph Biden may represent.

Roslyn Trinity Pancake Breakfast Childcare Center For SUNY Old Westbury

SUNY Old Westbury has been awarded $1.5 million in state funding to build a childcare center.

The funding is part of a $15.6 million funding plan to expand childcare services across New York’s state university campuses.

SUNY Old Westbury is currently in early stages of planning the new center on campus, which could ultimately serve up to 100 children. The center would serve the college’s faculty and staff, local families, and SUNY Old Westbury students who have children.

SUNY has made expanded child care facili ties a high priority, with the eventual goal of having one center available at every campus.

“Increasing access to child care could be game-changing for our student parents and to the many families living near our campus,” said SUNY Old Westbury President

Timothy E. Sams. “For our students particularly, providing this service can help ensure them the opportunity to pursue their studies and put them on a more stable path to graduation. This funding is a first critical step in the process of building the new facility, and we are thankful to Governor Hochul and SUNY for their support.”

The co-principal investigators leading the project are Jo-Ann Robinson, executive vice president and chief of staff, and Diana Sukhram, dean of the School of Education.

In advance of creating the new facility, SUNY Old Westbury expects to reopen this year its current child care center in the College’s Campus Center, following a more than two-year closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Roslyn Trinity Cooperative Day School held its annual pancake breakfast on Saturday, Nov. 5. Co-op families and friends joined teachers and staff on the co-op lawn to enjoy a warm, sunny fall day and a favorite annual tradition. Families enjoyed a spread of freshly flipped flap jacks while the children decorated pumpkins, danced to the tunes of local musician Will from CityLive Music, played with balloon animals and snacked on cotton candy. To support the school’s education initia tives, a raffle was held awarding great prizes to lucky winners. The children

also enjoyed showing their families their favorite activities on the two outdoor playground spaces.

Jeannine Votruba, the director of the Co-op, said, “The day was so much more than pancakes, al though they were quite delicious! The day embodied all that the Coop commu nity believes in. In true Co-op spirit, parents worked together to create an event that all families enjoyed. Seeing parents flip pancakes while children laughed and played was a reminder of just how special our community is.”

Coyote Spotted In Manhasset: New Wild Canids Have Made Long Island Their Home

A recent sighting of a male coyote in a Manhasset yard raises questions about these large, secretive predators.

For many people, coyotes go along with windswept desert bluffs, cacti and sagebrush, or cartoon anvils and crafty roadrunners. Picturing them running along the tracks of the LIRR or picking garbage out of a dumpster is unfamiliar at best. But these opportunistic animals, though still rare, have been established on Long Island for at least the last seven years.

The prevailing theory is that these coyotes have split off from a source population in the Bronx, where they have been thriving for more than 30 years. From there, they are either swimming a narrow but swift portion of the East River or following green corridors and bridges. Frank Vicenti, from the Wild Dog Foundation in Mineola, describes some of the potential crossing points. “There is a narrow part of the East River in Northern Queens, that, you know, is a stone’s throw from the Bronx. Animals could certainly get into that at low tide and try to swim it. Now the current is rather strong, but they’re survivors, they could certainly get ashore at some point and make their way onto the train tracks and work their way out (east). We don’t really know for sure how they get over here, but once they figure it out they’re scent marking.” Other coyotes would then follow these scent trails further out onto Long Island.

In terms of population, western Nassau County has approximately 13 individuals, with three to four in the Manhasset group. The male who was sighted recently is most likely the male from the breeding pair of that group. Other coyotes have been spotted in Searingtown, Great Neck, Oyster Bay, Roslyn and Port Washington. Some of these animals are transitive, where they spend a little time in an area before moving on. In general, though, coyotes are social animals that live in both family bands and looser groups of unrelated individuals in a particular territory.

Even with these sightings, Vicenti said he does not expect a coyote boom on Long Island. “I don’t think we’re ever going to have a lot of coyotes because even the ones that we have here, the growth has been slow as far as breeding goes. We had no pups this year. When the amount of food is limited they just forego breeding. Sometimes distemper wipes out the litters.”

The US government actually funded a campaign to eradicate large canids starting

in 1906, mostly due to pressure from the livestock industry. Wolves were depicted to the public as huge, terrifying cow-killers. By the 1920s, the wolf had been extirpated from most of the United States, and the government then turned their attention to the coyote. Between 1947 and 1956, approximately 6.5 million coyotes were killed across the American west, mostly with poison. In the 1970s, wildlife management

expanded into a new method: aerial gunning, or shooting animals from low flying aircraft. This method of population control is still in use today.

But coyotes adapted, moving into suburban and urban areas where food sources were abundant and they weren’t being shot, and since the larger apex predators had been removed, they were able to spread throughout the United States. This

means that they are not invasive; they are simply filling a niche and expanding their range naturally.

Vicenti sees this as “…something that should be celebrated, in the sense that, Long Island isn’t such an artificial environment. The eagles are coming back, and we have turkey vultures, woodchuck populations are doing good and we might have skunks on the island as well. There are sharks off the coast and whales. You have to conserve that as well. But you don’t have to look 4000 miles away on another continent to see the wild, we have it here.”

His advice for learning to live with these new neighbors is simple. “You’re going to have to adjust somewhat, use common sense. You know, don’t feed anything and keep tabs on pets.”

Studies show that coyotes are more likely to subsist in local parks, cemeteries and golf courses. At night, they are known to hunt the city streets for rodents. If you do see a coyote, the best thing is to be loud and frighten them away. Coyotes that lose their fear of people are a danger to themselves. “yell at them, stomp your foot at them, maybe even throw and object towards them. Don’t hit them, but certainly throw something towards them. Showing dominance and non-lethal aggression through loud noises and running at them will instill fear in the coyote and teach it to stay away.”
