1 The top 10 episodes of the classic sci-fi series BY FRANK VIRGA

From 1959 to 1964, television was rooted in horror and suspense thanks to The Twilight Zone, creator Rod Serling’s classic sci-fi series that chronicled everything from fantasy to the macabre. Below, we round up our top 10 favorite episodes.

up for visits to the benevolent Kanamits’ home planet. The book’s title finally gets deciphered—“To Serve Man.” When it’s time for Chambers to take his ride into space, his assistant Patty cries out to him as he’s boarding the spacecraft “Mr. Chambers, don’t get on that ship! The rest of the book To Serve Man, it’s... it’s a cookbook!”

“Eye of the Beholder” (Season 2, Nov. 11, 1960)

“The Howling Man” (Season 2, Nov., 4, 1960)

EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Janet Tyler, her head completely bandaged, is waiting for the results of her surgery to help her “look normal.” Her doctors describe her as horribly disfigured, only to reveal once the bandages are removed, a beautiful young woman. The medical staff however are horrific looking monster-like creatures. The moral of this one: “What kind of world is this where ugliness is the norm and beauty the deviation from that norm?”

Told in flashback form, American David Ellington recalls his trek through Europe seeking shelter from a storm in a castle inhabited by a religious order led by Brother Jerome. A chilling howling by a man claiming to be a prisoner of this insane religious order echoes. Brother Jerome explains that this man is the Devil himself, held in his cell only by a simple “Staff of Truth” in the door. Ignoring Brother Jerome’s warnings, Ellington releases the prisoner, at which point he’s incapacitated by a wave of his hand, and the Devil himself emerges, and disappears in a puff of smoke. The ancient motto? “You can catch the Devil, but you can’t hold him long.”

“Living Doll” (Season 5, Nov. 1, 1963)

Christie’s wind-up doll “Talky Tina” speaks sweetly to everyone except her father Erich, a frustrated, hostile man. She offers him phrases like “I don’t like you” and “You’d better be nice to me.” Doubting his own sanity, he attempts to destroy the doll but to no avail. While investigating noises in the middle of the night, Erich trips on the doll at the top of the stairs, falling to his death. Christie’s mother retrieves the doll near her husband’s body where it says to her: “My name is Talky Tina, and you’d better be nice to me.”

“To Serve Man” (Season 3, March 2, 1962)

The Kanamits, a nine-foot-tall alien race, visits Earth, and addresses the UN via telepathy with a message of aiding humanity, leaving behind a book in their language. Cryptographer Michael Chambers works on decoding the book as people begin signing

“The Invaders” (Season 2, Jan. 27, 1961)

An aging, shabbily dressed woman alone in her rustic cabin is hearing strange noises above her kitchen roof. Upon investigating, she spots a small flying saucer on her rooftop and is accosted by tiny robot-looking creatures. She destroys one, and proceeds to attack the craft with a hatchet. As this episode ends, the only dialogue is heard—coming from the spacecraft—“Gresham is dead, the planet is inhabited by a race of giants, impossible to defeat” as the camera focuses on a U.S. Air Force logo on the craft.

“The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” (Season 1, March 4, 1960)

Maple Street sees a shadow pass over their quiet neighborhood with a roar and a large flash of light. Residents gather as they discover all power has been cut off—electricity, cars, lawn mowers, everything. Young Tommy speaks of a story he’s read about aliens being placed in neighborhoods as scouts for an alien invasion. Paranoia ensues, people begin fighting, and in this dark chaos, someone is shot and killed—mistaken for an alien—but in fact is a fellow neighbor. The camera cuts to a nearby hilltop, where an alien crew observes the riot on Maple Street, managing the device that controls the neighborhood’s power, stating how simple it will be to conquer the earth—one neighborhood at a time.

“Time Enough At Last” (Season 1, Nov. 20, 1959)

Farsighted bookworm Henry Bemis, henpecked and dealing with an angry boss at the bank, seeks refuge with his books on his lunch hour in the bank’s vault. After reading a newspaper headline, “H-Bomb Capable of Total Destruction,” an explosion knocks him unconscious. Regaining consciousness, he finds his thick eyeglasses which he requires to see, and emerges finding total destruction—a nuclear war destroyed Earth—and he was saved in the safety of the bank’s vault. Alone and shattered, he prepares to commit suicide, then he sees the ruins of the public library in the distance and realizes he now has all the time in the world to read without interruption. Bemis views all the books he’ll be able to read, and

“The Lonely”

(Season 1, Nov. 13, 1959)

It’s 2046 and Corry is sentenced for murder, to solitary confinement for 50

years on a distant asteroid. He’s visited four times a year, for only 15 minutes each time due to fuel restraints and the asteroids’ orbit, by a crew bringing supplies. The crew’s captain is sympathetic to Corry’s self-defense claims and offers solace by leaving behind a feminine robot named Alicia, capable of emotions and memory and Corry begins to fall in love with her.

“A Stop at Willoughby” (Season 1, May 6, 1960)

NYC advertising executive Gart Williams, stressed by his boss and pressures of work, naps on a snowy train ride home. He awakens in a 19th-century railway car, and out the window he’s sees he’s in Willoughby, a quaint, peaceful-looking town. He asks the conductor about it, to which he replies, “There’s no Willoughby on this line.” That night, yet another argument with his wife ends in her calling their marriage a “miserable tragic error.” His naps continue to take him to the tranquility of Willoughby, but this time he steps off the train and is greeted warmly by name by everyone he meets. The camera dissolves from the swinging pendulum of a station clock to the swinging of a conductor’s lantern standing over Williams’ body. Seems someone shouted something about Willoughby before jumping off the train to their death. His body is placed in a hearse and the back door closes to reveal the name of the funeral home…Willoughby & Son.

He becomes more concerned now about the gremlin’s tinkering with the wiring in the engine compartment, endangering the flight. In an attempt to rid them of the gremlin, Wilson steals a sleeping policeman’s gun, straps himself into his seat and opens the emergency door to try and shoot the creature. The plane finally lands, Wilson is taken away in a straitjacket, and the camera pulls back to reveal significant damage to the engine area on the wing near Wilson’s seat. Vindication.

HOLLYWOOD

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

his year marks the 60th anniversary of the initial airing of The Twilight Zone. For the first five years of its existence, the 156 episodes that composed the series touched on all manner of topics including racism, war and censorship. Rodman Edward Serling presented it all through a prism of science fiction, fantasy, horror and the paranormal that always ended with a twist. Along with being the series narrator, Serling’s role as the show’s creator, producer and lead screenwriter found him earning the reputation of being the “angry young man” of Hollywood, thanks to his pitched battles with sponsors and television executives over topics the latter felt would discomfort viewers. Serling was born on Dec. 25, 1924, in Syracuse, the second of two boys to grocer and butcher Sam and homemaker mom Esther. According to his older brother Robert, the younger Serling grew up spending hours acting out dialogue from pulp magazines and movies he’d seen. Despite being considered a class clown, his seventh-grade teacher encouraged him to enter the school’s public speaking extracurriculars. Eventually joining the debate team, Serling started writing for the school newspaper and became known for being a bit of a social activist. With World War II in full swing, Serling enlisted right out of high school, eventually serving in the 511th Parachute Infantry Regimen of the 11th Airborne Division. Deployed to the Pacific Ocean theater, the New York native saw combat at the Battle of Leyte in the Phillipines and later marched into Manila as part of General Douglas MacArthur’s strategy to wrest control of the city from the Japanese. By war’s end, Serling’s combat experiences earned him a Purple Heart, the Bronze Star and the Philippine Liberation Medal. The nightmares and flashbacks he grappled with for the remainder of his life shaped his writing and resonated deeply with him. He later admitted, “I was bitter about everything and at loose ends when I got out of the service. I think I turned to writing to get it off my chest.” Post-war, Serling volunteered as an actor and writer at WNYC in New York. Constantly hustling radio scripts over the next few years, the freelancing scribe changed gears

and started penning material for the newly emerging television format. By the time he submitted his 72nd script, it was picked up by the nationwide Kraft Television Theatre. The episode was dubbed “Patterns” and was an intense big-business drama that revolved around corporate politics and boardroom backstabbing and starred Richard Kiley, Everett Sloane and Ed Begley. Patterns proved so popular, it earned a repeat performance, a rarity for a live television drama. It earned Serling the first of six Emmys for dramatic writing. Following this success up with a Playhouse 90 teleplay called Requiem for a Heavyweight (later adapted as a 1962 film by the same name), Serling was next able to eventually maneuver into creating an anthology series that became The Twilight Zone and aired its debut episode on Oct. 2, 1959, on CBS. For the next five years, Serling fought to maintain creative control and despite winning awards and earning enormous critical acclaim, lukewarm ratings led to a pair of cancellations. By 1964, Serling’s behind-the-scenes battles

led to his deciding to not fight the show’s third and final cancellation. Serling’s post-Twilight Zone career found him writing screenplays for 1963’s The Yellow Canary and 1964’s Seven Days in May along with cowriting the script for 1968’s Planet of the Apes with formerly blacklisted screenwriter Michael Wilson. In addition to dabbling in radio (“The Zero Hour”; “Fantasy Park”) and teaching at Ithaca College, Serling’s last forays into television included the CBS western The Loner (1965-1966) and the NBC anthology series Night Gallery (1969-1973). Serling smoked three to four packs of cigarettes a day and after suffering a heart attack on May 3, 1975, two more followed, with the final one occurring in the middle of a 10hour open-heart surgical procedure. He died two days later on June 28. Rod Serling was 50 years old. He left behind an enormous legacy that not only defined many television industry standards, but used entertainment to educate viewers about socially conscious topics.

New Book Reveals Islanders ’90s Disaster

BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

The New York Islanders are different. That’s always been the case. Among the many eyebrow-raising moves the Islanders have made over the years includes a marketing campaign gone awry in the mid-1990s. It’s one Nick Hirshon, a journalism professor at William Paterson University, felt so strongly about that he decided to write We Want Fish Sticks: The Bizarre and Infamous Rebranding of the New York Islanders. “I saw people in Nassau Coliseum wearing the Fisherman jersey, but they weren’t wearing them on the ice anymore,” Hirshon said. “I just became curious about the history of the whole thing. A lot of people were reluctant to wear it.” Reluctant they were. The Islanders debuted a new logo in 1995, attempting to get fans excited about a team that couldn’t do much on the ice a decade after winning four straight Stanley Cup titles. The logo was certainly different: a

fisherman with a hockey stick. “This was a time in the mid-1990s when sports branding wasn’t really a sophisticated business yet,” Hirshon said. “It was just selling jerseys at games at Nassau Coliseum. They weren’t thinking about people wearing jerseys as a fashion statement.” In the book, published by the University of Nebraska Press, Hirshon uncovers stories never told before about the Islanders, ones that will certainly bring nostalgia to fans across the island, like Nyisles, the awkward looking mascot who received a lot of hate right off the bat. “Rob DiFiore, the first guy to play Nyisles, told me stories about how fans abused him, kicking and punching him,” he said. “They were either upset at the rebrand or forgot there’s someone inside the suit.” People actually forgot—or wanted to forget—that the mascot was a person. DiFiore was only paid $75 a game. At one point, the Islanders were burning all bridges. Literally. “The goal light on Nyisles’ helmet

was charged by a motorcycle battery that he wore around his waist and fanny pack,” Hirshon said, still in a state of shock about it. “He was about to go out and greet fans when the motorcycle battery caught fire. He quickly had to shed this outfit.” Hirshon’s book examines the life of about 53 people involved in the marketing campaign. The book, he said, does not attack the Islanders, but examines the misconceptions about the team’s rebrand. The Islanders did not respond to a request for comment about the team’s official thoughts on the book. “You can see more clearly where mistakes were made,” Patrick Calabria, an Islanders executive in the 1990s and current Farmingdale State College vice president for institutional advancement and enrollment, said. “You can see how certain reasons made things not work out.” While Hirshon was hesitant to write the book, he made sure to have a delicate approach to it. While interviewing the Fisherman’s design-

ers, he was transparent, telling them he wasn’t mocking them. The book does the opposite, explaining to fans the process of a rebrand at a time when the Islanders needed to fill seats at the Coliseum. If the team wasn’t winning, they needed something to get people excited. “Enough time has passed where you have perspective on it,” Calabria said. “It helped clear up misconceptions.” The rebrand might have failed, but Hirshon’s book shows the true reasons as to why it happened. “There was a lot of decision making behind it, even if it wasn’t the wisest,” he said. Hirshon will be speaking at Farmingdale State University on Feb. 12 to discuss the book further.

The all new Ford Explorer Limited will be available this summer.

Ford Explorer Redesigned From The Ground Up America’s favorite SUV delivers more power, capability and adventure tech

ord just introduced its all-new 2020 Explorer—a complete redesign of America’s all-time best-selling SUV—that now features the broadest model lineup ever, more power and space and smart new technologies to help tackle life’s adventures. Explorer is now more capable, comfortable, sportier and roomier in all three rows thanks to Ford’s flexible new rear-wheel-drive architecture. The strengths of the all-new Ford Explorer were showcased at a special reveal event for employees, fans, dealers, suppliers, government officials and media today at Ford Field in Detroit,

where Ford brought to life how it can help American families get the most out of their road trips. The all-new SUV arrives this summer. “Explorer drivers told us what they want—more capability, more power, more space,” said Hau Thai-Tang, Ford’s head of product development and purchasing. “They want more technology, not just for the driver, but for the whole family. And they want all of it with a beautifully sporty exterior. This new Explorer gives them all of that, and more, helping make every journey more enjoyable.” Improved off-road capability comes courtesy of intelligent four-wheel

drive and an available new Terrain Management System that features seven easy-to-engage drive modes. Powertrain offerings include a 3.0-liter turbocharged EcoBoost V6 projected to produce 365 horsepower and 380 pound of torque using 93-octane gas, making this the most powerful Explorer ever. The Explorer lineup now features standard, XLT, Limited, Limited Hybrid, ST and Platinum models. The all-new Explorer comes packed with more than a dozen new standard features for $400 more than the previous model. Owners will find design and engineering updates that deliver

comfort and SUV functionality. “We obsessed about what Explorer customers need and want,” said Bill Gubing, Explorer chief engineer. “We met with customer groups, pored through Internet forums and dissected social media posts to determine what they love about today’s Explorer and understand their pain points. Then we found ways to improve it across the board. Every enhancement was inspired by our customers.” Technology designed to heighten the experience of traveling building upon Ford’s push to bring more

technologies include Evasive Steering Assist, which provides steering support to help avoid a collision and PostImpact Braking provides braking after a collision to lessen injury and damage caused by a secondary crash event. “It’s not about filling the vehicle with technology for technology’s sake,” said Chris Billman, Ford Co-Pilot360 engineering manager. “It’s about improving the experience, making driving less stressful and helping the driver to feel more confident behind the wheel.” A wireless charging pad, an available 980-watt, 14-speaker B&O premium audio system and access to SiriusXM satellite radio is standard and comes with new touch screen graphics and functionality. The touch screen shares information with the available 12.3-inch all-digital instrument cluster, which displays information such as speedometer and gas gauge. Ford’s recipe for Explorer has always relied on three main ingredients—capability, comfort and design. The new rear-wheel-drive architecture enables bumper-to-bumper improvements that include an even more athletic appearance, increased capability and the best passenger accommodations in an Explorer ever.

Longtime traits including Explorer’s blacked-out A-pillars and D-pillars and body-color C-pillars are retained while changes to the overall profile include a more sloping roofline and shorter front overhang, giving the vehicle a sportier appearance. Explorer comes standard with 18-inch painted aluminum wheels, but across the lineup drivers can opt for one of seven wheel designs, including 21-inch premium aluminum wheels available on Platinum models. Other Platinum differentiators include door handles with satin aluminum insert, liftgate appliqué, roof-rack side rails and a grille with satin aluminum finish. Platinum models also feature a standard twin-panel moonroof, which allows light to flood the most comfortable Explorer cabin ever.

Five Excellent Journalism Programs To Consider BY RACHEL HIRSCHHEIMER

Emerson College

ave you ever wondered if a career in journalism is the right path for you? Journalism is a competitive and ever-evolving field, but if you are interested in storytelling, researching and writing, then it may be a major you want to consider. Many schools have strong journalism programs, but these five colleges stand out for having the best journalism programs around.

Located in Boston, MA, Emerson College provides a unique approach to their Journalism course. After adopting a new multimedia curriculum back in 2011, students now learn to tell stories and report the news through many different mediums. The college works on improving students’ reporting skills through audio reports, video reports and on the web so that when students finally begin working in the field, they are fluent in different media forms. Graduates have landed jobs at The Boston Globe, Detroit News, NBC, Inside Edition and more as reporters, producers, writers, editors and press secretaries.

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Boston University The College of Communication at Boston University (BU) has an excellent amount of opportunities both in the school and outside. BU’s journalism program allows students to focus on online journalism, broadcast journalism, magazine journalism or photojournalism. Many classes journalism students take are outside of the College of Communications because the school wants their journalists to graduate with a well-rounded liberal arts background combined with the skills and experience a journalist will need in the field. BU has produced 24 Pulitzer Prize winners and counting.

Ithaca College The Roy H. Park School of Communications at Ithaca College gives students the chance to immerse themselves in the field of journalism with their many resources. The student-run weekly newspaper, The Ithacan welcomes everyone from freshmen to seniors. ICTV is the school’s notable television station which covers a wide range of topics from hard news to Hollywood gossip. Many journalism classes at Ithaca teach students to look deeper into topics such as ethics, economics and media history, which can be extremely helpful down the road.

The University of Texas at Austin From the day a journalism student enters the Moody College of Communication at The University of Texas at Austin, they will begin learning all of the skills a journalist will need to succeed. In 2012, the Moody College of Communication opened the Belo Center for New Media, which helped launch the university’s digital-based undergraduate curriculum. The program starts at Level 1, teaching students the “critical values and sensibility at the heart of the journalistic method.” Each level of journalism progressively moves deeper into the field until the student reaches Level 5. This is where the journalists must complete a professional internship or take part in the school’s multimedia news website. The Moody College of Communications also offers a sports journalism track.

Syracuse University At the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, students have many choices in the journalism field. They can decide to focus on broadcast and digital journalism or magazine, newspaper and online journalism, or they can major in photography. In any of the majors falling under journalism, students will get hands-on experience in the classroom using the same equipment that is used in professional newsrooms. Newhouse’s student-run newspaper, The Daily Orange, and the school’s entertainment site, The NewsHouse, tests students’ abilities to write and report with deadlines. This prestigious program offers many opportunities to experience real journalism situations.

How Far You Go Depends On How You Define Success BY JACK K. MANDEL

significant as in the business sector, but there are different measurements that apply. In a word: priceless.

editorial@antonmedia group.com

019—and what could be the beginning of a wonderful new year with a myriad of opportunities open to you on a personal, professional and business level. But you have to make it happen. Did you ever stop to think why some of us are the alpha (lead) dog while others merely follow in a pack? While it may be complex in scope there is a logical scenario. Not all of us have what it takes to be an individual and/or team leader. Let’s focus on four key traits that both men and women have in common as they pursue worthy life goals. As a professor at Nassau Community College, I try to “drive home” these four points to my entrepreneurial students: Autonomy Regardless of age or gender, the ability of an individual to plan, focus and turn ideas

into action is paramount to success. Independent thinkers do not require a “boss” or supervisor to lead them. They are self-driven and know how to innovate to achieve. That’s why many pursue their own ventures. Power While earning potential is one gauge of power, so too, is the symbol of personal influence over others. Certainly political figures, celebrities, popular athletes and college professors such as myself are seen by society as opinion leaders. Maybe the financial opportunities are not as

Personal Growth As we age, we often recognize our abilities to “put fires out” when needed. Now we can “hold our heads high” and serve as mentors to the young. I know, as a professor, I find the learning curve to be a 50/50 equal proposition. Students often “walk circles” around me regarding their knowledge of social media and technology. Yes, I admit I am “old school” but can learn from those around me regardless of age or gender. Passion This trait is a must-have on my list. Achieving success in anything requires a positive outlook and inner discipline so you can finish what you start. Learn to manage time effectively and you will be more productive. No ifs, ands or buts. Faith in oneself always trumps the challenges and obstacles we face each day.

Here’s hoping 2019 is your year to make a difference. Good luck. Since 1978, Professor Jack K. Mandel has taught marketing at Nassau

Community College in Garden City. He is the recipient of the prestigious Outstanding Teacher Award conferred by NYS Association of Two-Year Colleges.

Girls On The Run Long Island Awarded Rite Aid KidsCents Regional Grant Girls on the Run Long Island has been awarded a grant from the Rite Aid Foundation for $20,000 as part of Rite Aid’s ongoing commitment to improving the lives of children. Girls on the Run is a physical activity-based positive youth development that is designed to enhance girls’ social, emotional and physical skills and behaviors to successfully navigate life experiences. The program’s intentional curriculum places an emphasis on developing competence, confidence, connection, character, caring, and contribution in young girls through lessons that incorporate running and other physical activities. The

life skills curriculum is delivered by trained and caring coaches in a safe and inclusive environment. It is the combination of the research-based curriculum, trained coaches and a commitment to serve all girls that sets Girls on the Run apart from other after-school programs. The grant from the Rite Aid Foundation will provide more girls with the opportunity to participate in Girls on the Run. An independent study

found that the program is highly effective at driving transformative and lasting change in the lives of third through eighth grade girls. 97 percent of participants said they learned critical life skills such as how to resolve conflict, manage emotions, help others and make intentional decisions at Girls on the Run that they are using at home, at school and with their friends. “Girls on the Run envisions a

world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams,” said Doreen Dunne, Director of Girls on the Run Long Island. “This grant from the Rite Aid Foundation will help move this vision forward by providing opportunities for more girls to participate in our life-changing program.” Girls on the Run Long Island is one of 22 Girls on the Run councils to receive the Rite Aid Foundation KidsCents Regional Grant.

The College, which boasts a beautiful tree-filled 300-acre campus, is located in the Northern New Jersey town of Mahwah, voted one of the safest towns in the state. Ramapo College’s residence halls were voted #1 Best Dorms in New Jersey by Niche.com. All of the on-campus residences include a number of modern, convenient amenities not always offered at other colleges, such as suite and apartment-style rooms, semi-private non-communal bathrooms, complimentary laundry facilities, cable television and high-speed Internet, air-conditioned rooms, common-area kitchens, lounges and game rooms, and off-campus shuttle to local businesses, the train station and malls, among other amenities. Many colleges and universities, including Ramapo College, offer Residence Life programs that are based on a philosophy that residence hall living provides opportu-

nities for students to gain a variety of experiences that supplement and complement formal classroom learning. The goal of residence life staff is to make every effort to promote academic achievement through community-focused programs, to encourage students to develop interdependence and maturity, as well as responsible decision-making and life skills. Cost is often a big factor when choosing a college, especially for students who decide to live away from home. Starting in fall 2019, incoming first-year, out-of-state students can participate in the FourYear Freeze Tuition Program, which “freezes” the tuition rate. Eligible students will pay the same tuition cost for all four years, helping families establish a baseline cost and providing the ability to plan financially for the next four years, knowing that tuition costs will remain stable. Ramapo College also offers housing grants up to $6,000 for out-of-state students who meet the

criteria and choose to live in one of the campus housing facilities, in addition to academic and needbased scholarships for those who qualify. Ramapo College has one of the highest four-year completion rates and lowest annual tuition increases among New Jersey colleges, demonstrating a commitment to value and quality.

The transition from high school to college can be a life-changing experience. College-bound students will quickly learn that they need to be more independent and responsible, both academically and in various aspects of campus living and culture. For many students, going away to college will be the first time they have ever lived away from home. That’s why it’s so important to research all the options so a student feels comfortable when the time comes to continue his or her academic career and delve into campus life. One of the biggest decisions incoming students face is adjusting to residence life on campus. Some students want to go away to school, but may not want to live too far from home. Being close to New York City with its internship and career opportunities and being able to easily visit home for a weekend via a short drive, bus or train ride draws a lot of students from Long Island, the New York

SCHOOL BRIEFS

The Ready For Kindergarten, Ready For College Campaign Applauds Board Of Regents

he Ready for Kindergarten Campaign, a campaign that champions the right of all children to a high quality early learning opportunities starting at birth, applauds the New York State Board of Regents for committing to provide quality early childhood education to the youngest New Yorkers. The Regents, under the leadership of Chancellor Betty Rosa and Blue Ribbon Committee co-chairs, Regent Lester Young and Luis Reyes, convened several meetings with a broad cross section of early childhood and education stakeholders. The committee created a set of recommendations to ensure children start life with the best possible foundation of health, learning and development they need to succeed in school and life. The new recommendations promote programs and comprehensive services for young children, including expanding quality

pre-K, strengthening the early childhood workforce and the First 1000 Days on Medicaid and creating a system of statewide supports and infrastructure that includes a cost study on providing quality pre-K. The recommendations reflect the importance of a comprehensive understanding of children and family needs. This attention to high standards of classroom practice, recognition of supports for multi-lingual learners and children with special needs and attention to access to the range of services that families and children need, coupled with a review of the investments needed to support high-quality services reflects a deep understanding

of the multi-faceted strategies that will ensure children succeed to the maximum of their potential. The Blue Ribbon Committee Recommendations provide a roadmap to addressing significant next steps in strengthening the state’s significant pre-K program as part of a diverse delivery system of services birth to age 8. While we applaud this roadmap and will work to ensure its implementation, we want to call upon the state to adopt a more robust investment in pre-K reaching the goal of universal in the next five years ensuring that no children in the state are left behind. The research is clear that this is no more effective investment that the state can

make in launching the next generation of children on the path to educational success. To most effectively achieve this goal, the state must also increase its investment in the early childhood workforce through multiple strategies that address equity in compensation across settings and provide multiple pathways to certification. We call on the governor to take these recommendations and provide quality early learning and pre-K to all children as he promised our children years ago. It’s time to make the promise reality.

Cuomo Approves $100,000 For ‘We Connect The Dots’

Funds will support the construction of a STEAM Research & Education Center

e Connect the Dots (WCTD), a national educational organization based on Long Island, has been awarded a $100,000 grant from Governor Andrew M. Cuomo’s Regional Economic Development Council for a proposed $2.2 million project to open a state-of-the-art Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) Research and Education Center. Matching funding for the center project are anticipated in coming months, coming from private sector partners who have embraced the We Connect the Dots mission and purpose. The high-tech center, the first of its kind in the region, will host programs that are focused on delivering educational and training programs in STEAM fields to the K-12 audience. The center will also play an important role in workforce development initiatives to support the high demand for skills that help blend technology and computer science into everyday life. The STEAM Research & Education Center, when completed, will allow WCTD to complete its goal of supporting workforce development and offer STEAM focused educational programs for communities on Long Island and across New York State. WCTD’s mission is to heighten student awareness of career opportunities in STEAM

Town Of Hempstead, Molloy College Agree To Historic Collaboration The Town of Hempstead, Molloy College and CSEA Local 880 have forged an agreement regarding discounted tuition for town employees. The new program, which is now in effect, offers all employees a 30 percent discount on tuition costs. One dependent child per employee will also be eligible for the benefit. To take advantage of the tuition discount, eligible employees must meet the admission requirements for the academic program they are applying for. According to the agreement, the application fee will be waived for interested parties and all comprehensive support services traditionally provided to Molloy students will be included. “We are delighted to be forging

this unique partnership with Molloy College, which will bring an incredible benefit to our Hempstead Town workforce,” said Town of Hempstead Supervisor Laura Gillen. “Given the challenge of paying for higher education, the tuition discount program will enable hard-working families serving our town to pursue academic goals and enrich their lives. Employees of the town are truly deserving of an educational financial benefit that would help them, and their families, stay and thrive in our town. I am grateful to the leadership at Molloy College and for their visionary investment in Hempstead, and for the support of the hardworking men and women of CSEA Local 880 who serve our residents

diligently every day.” The partnership was championed by CSEA Local 880 President Charlie Sellitto, who represents Hempstead Town’s workforce—the largest of any town, village or city on Long Island. “Our members take pride in our community and are grateful for this unique opportunity that will afford them the ability to access a quality education, conveniently located only a stone’s throw away from where they live and work,” said Sellitto. “With the vast majority of Hempstead Town employees and their families living within the town, this agreement will undoubtedly benefit not only our hardworking men and women, but also the taxpaying residents that they

service each and every day.” “Molloy College and the Town of Hempstead have a shared vision for our community,” said Molloy College president Drew Bogner, PhD. “Both entities have a deep commitment to the people of the town, to the importance of a highly educated workforce and to the belief that an educated population is best able to fully participate in civic life.” “Molloy College was founded on principles which stress service to the community,” added Molloy’s vice president for Advancement Edward Thompson. “We recognize the value of service-minded individuals and we are proud to make tuition more affordable for them.” —Anton Media Group

They will also build, test and program an autonomous robot using LEGO Mindstorms technology to solve a set of missions in the Robot Game. Throughout their experience, teams will operate under the FIRST signature set of core values, celebrating discovery, teamwork and gracious professionalism. The students will then present the solution during one of six different qualifier tournaments being held on the following dates and locations: Qualifiers 1-3: Saturday, Jan. 26 (a.m. and p.m.) and Sunday, Jan. 27, (a.m.) at Mineola High School, 10 Armstrong Rd., Garden City Park. Qualifiers 4-6: Saturday, Feb. 2, (a.m. and p.m.) and Sunday, Feb. 3, (a.m.) at Huntington High School, 188 Oakwood Rd., Huntington. Teams competing in these events will then earn the opportunity to subsequently advance to the SBPLI FIRST LEGO League Championship

tournament at Longwood High School on Sunday, March 3. This will be the 15th year that FIRST LEGO League has enabled students on Long Island to explore STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) through building and problem-solving. In addition, 2019 marks the 20th anniversary of the SBPLI Long Island Regional FIRST Robotics Competition. FIRST’s history and long-lasting impact on Long Island will be honored at all events this year.

“The FIRST LEGO League students on Long Island have already been working diligently to identify real-life problems we face when traveling in space,” said Stephanie Stern, FIRST LEGO League codirector. “It’s amazing how passionate they are about finding a solution. It’s going to be really exciting to see what they devise when they present at the qualifiers.” For more information on SBPLI and the FIRST Long Island progression of programs, or to become a sponsor, visit www.firstlongisland.org.

Island Drafting and Technical Institute — The College for Careers® Island Drafting and Technical Institute (IDTI) was founded in 1957, and is staffed by faculty members who have had professional and practical experience in the engineering, architectural, CADD (Computer Aided Drafting/ Design) and computer and electronics fields. The Institute is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges, and is authorized to confer two-year associate degrees by the New York State Board of Regents. The Institute’s aim is to graduate students who are well trained and technically qualified so that they may enter their chosen field or continue their education at the baccalaureate or higher level. Island Drafting and Technical Institute has over 50 years of leadership and experience in preparing Long Islanders for careers. By staying abreast of the latest developments in the industry, the Institute continues to provide the personal attention students need to succeed. IDTI began life as the brainchild of Joseph P. Di Liberto, a senior design engineer at Republic Aviation in Farmingdale. Working at Republic by day and teaching by night, he started the school, then known as Aircraft Trade School, with just eight students. “Mr. D,” as he was known, handled the admissions, administration, and teaching all himself, with help from his wife, Gloria. After several years, Di Liberto moved the school from its original home in Amityville, N.Y.,

to the location it has called home ever since — 128 Broadway in the Village of Amityville. In June 1959, the school incorporated and its name was changed to Island Drafting School. In March 1973, the name of the school was changed to its current form — Island Drafting and Technical Institute. IDTI was first accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the National Association of Trade and Technical Schools on January 21, 1967, being on the first list of schools ever accredited by NATTS. In February 1997, the school was authorized by the New York State Board of Regents to confer the Associate in Occupational Studies degree. Under this authorization, the Institute is approved to offer degree programs in computer aided drafting and design/mechanical and computer aided drafting and design/ architectural. In December 1997, the Institute was approved to offer degree programs in electronic and computer service technology.

president James G. Di Liberto has been a fixture at the Amityville campus since the 1970s. And, John G. Di Liberto, who joined the school in 2000, got his start at IDTI handing out leaflets back in the 1960s. In June of this year, Forbes magazine ranked IDTI number 12 on their list of the Top 30 Trade Schools in America. Despite the technological changes of the past half-century, particularly on Long Island, and as drafting tables give way to computers, and drafters move from drawing airplanes to designing buildings, IDTI has continued to provide educational and employment opportunities for its graduates through concentrated, highly structured programs of study that prepare students for careers.

IDTI also offers to industry, as well as to individual job holders, skills training to improve on-the-job capabilities. Programs can be customdesigned for particular companies, in addition to the extensive program offerings regularly available.

Seven Options To Consider If You Didn’t Receive Enough Financial Aid

BY JUSTIN CHASE BROWN

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

The reality of college costs is that many families find themselves struggling to pay the entire college bill, despite having already filed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and receiving federal, state and institutional financial aid resources. If you find yourself in this position, here are some ideas to consider to help fill the gap between what your financial aid covers and what you owe the institution.

Scholarships For those heading to college this fall, most scholarship decisions for the academic year have already been made. However, we recommend you begin a routine of searching and applying for scholarships regularly. You should first consider scholarships local to where you graduated from high school or live; try community, religious and fraternal organizations. You may also consider businesses in your community or those that employ your parent(s). Then, look for scholarship resources available statewide, especially from organizations with which you may have been involved or companies in your state that are in the field for which you plan to study. National scholarships can be

very competitive, but don’t let that keep you from applying. Ask your financial aid office or academic unit about institutional or departmental scholarships (decisions may have been made for this year, but ask how to make sure you don’t miss deadlines for next year). With scholarship opportunities, it’s always important to be careful of fraud. If you are ever concerned about the legitimacy of a scholarship, your school’s financial aid office might be able to help you make the determination.

semester since these funds are paid as you earn them through working. If you were not awarded work-study funds, most schools have other part-time on-campus positions that can help you with some college costs. Working part-time on campus can be beneficial to your educational experience. Be cautious of working too many hours if you can avoid it. Ask your financial aid office or career services office how to apply for on-campus positions.

Part-Time Work

Your school’s billing office, sometimes referred to as the bursar’s office or cashier’s office, may have payment plans available to help you spread the remaining costs you owe the school over

You may have been awarded Federal Work-Study, which at most schools still requires you to find the work-study position yourself. This can help you cover some costs throughout the

Sacred Heart Academy (SHA) is one of two all-girls Catholic high schools on Long Island. An all-girls learning environment designed for the distinctive learning styles and needs of girls is a unique element that distinguishes SHA from other secondary school choices.

SACRED HEART ACADEMY

Our students say they are challenged to achieve more at SHA and are more engaged in the learning process. Their teachers expect them to participate in class, and the overall environment of respect makes them feel confident to share their views. They feel comfortable being themselves and expressing their ideas. They love wearing their uniform.

A Catholic College Preparatory School dedicated to the intellectual and personal growth of young women

Each year, approximately 90% of SHAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graduating class receives some form of academic, athletic, or artistic scholarship to nationally recognized colleges and universities. The Class of 2017 received scholarships totaling over $54 million. Extensive AP course offerings and rigorous academics prepare students for the demands of higher education. Critical thinking, writing skills, and participative learning are integrated into all courses. The personal care and attention that faculty offer students allow them to feel safe and take risks and grow. This combination of demanding expectations and personal care optimizes both academic learning and personal growth. Close to 800 talented young girls from across Long Island choose to attend Sacred Heart Academy because they want more from their high school education. To meet those expectations, SHA has invested in the resources for contemporary education. SHA has state-of-the art science labs and a four-year rewarding science research program. Sacred Heart is the only all-girls high school in the country with a Bloomberg Financial Markets Lab, which provides a venue to integrate theory with real-world practice. Students use the terminals to access government, economic and financial data, giving them the opportunity to practice skills in trade messaging, analytics and cost analysis. Since 1949, Sacred Heart Academy has been educating women leaders in the mission of the Sisters of St. Joseph. We encourage girls to find their voice, and use their voice to lead with heart. Over 11,000 alumnae use the values and skills they learned at SHA to be leaders in their families, communities, business organizations, and the Church. Our graduates consistently say that their education from Sacred Heart Academy gave them the skills and values they needed to succeed, as well as lifelong friendships that immeasurably enrich their lives. We are confident that your daughter will succeed and flourish, both personally and academically, in the all-girls environment of Sacred Heart Academy.

several payments throughout a semester. The payment plan can help you budget the payments rather than paying in one lump sum, possibly helping you avoid costly late fees.

Special Circumstances Reevaluation Sometimes a family’s finances are not accurately reflected on the FAFSA because of changes that have occurred recently, such as job loss, divorce or separation, or other special circumstance. Schools are not required to consider special circumstances, but those that do have a process by which you can petition for a reevaluation of the information on the FAFSA.

Additional Federal Student Loans If you’ve exhausted all your free and earned money options and still need additional funds to help you pay for school, contact your school’s financial aid office to find out if you’re eligible for additional federal student loans. For example, you might have reached a level of increased student loan eligibility if you completed coursework after your college awarded your aid. Federal Direct PLUS Loans: Also, if you are a dependent student and still need assistance, your parent can apply for a Direct PLUS Loan. Some schools use the application on www.studentloans. gov and others have their own application. The PLUS loan application process does include a credit check. If your parent is not approved, he or she may still receive a Direct PLUS Loan by obtaining an endorser (cosigner.) If a parent borrower is unable to secure a PLUS loan, the student may be eligible for additional unsubsidized student loans of up to $4,000 (and sometimes more.)

Emergency Advances or Institutional Loans

This process may require you to submit documentation, and the financial aid office will recalculate your eligibility, possibly resulting in a change of financial aid awards.

Sometimes you may have college-related costs, such as housing costs or other living expenses, before your financial aid is disbursed to you. Your school may offer an option to advance your financial

aid early or offer a schoolbased loan program. Ask your financial aid office if this is an option and always make sure you are aware of the terms and conditions (such as interest rates or repayment terms) of your agreement.

Private or Alternative Loans Some private institutions offer education loans that do not require the FAFSA. While we recommend federal aid first, we realize it does not always cover the cost, especially for pricier schools. These types of loans will almost always require a cosigner and usually have higher fees or interest rates depending on your credit. We encourage you to first ask your financial aid office if they have a list of lenders for you to consider, but not all schools maintain such a list. If not, you can search for lenders on your own, but compare products before making your choice: look at

interest rates, fees, repayment terms, creditworthiness requirements, satisfactory academic progress requirements, etc. Before making any final decisions on how to fill the gap between your aid and your costs, it is always recommended that you meet with a representative in your financial aid office to determine what campus resources might be available before going out on your own. It might also be possible that you still have the time to change some of your choices before the semester begins: Can you change the type of meal plan you chose? The type of housing? The number of classes in which you are enrolled? Check with campus officials to see if you still have time to select a different, more affordable option. Justin Chase Brown is the director of scholarships and financial aid at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Also pictured from left: Larry Toonkel, FIRST Robotics Competition co-director; Bertram Dittmar, executive director; and Jeffrey Stern, board member, SBPLI.

he Tilles Center at LIU Post was abuzz with anticipation on Jan. 5, as students, educators and families from across Long Island joined together for the unveiling of the 2019 FIRST (For the Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition challenge, “Destination: Deep Space” presented by The Boeing Company. In Destination: Deep Space, alliances must deal with unpredictable terrain and weather patterns while attempting to collect as many cargo pods as possible during a two-and-a-halfminute match. Because of unforeseen factors during the match, remote robot operation is essential to their mission on the planet. This year’s kick-off was especially exciting as 2019 marks the 20th anniversary of the SBPLI Long Island Regional FIRST Robotics Competition. Throughout the season, FIRST programs will commemorate and honor the history of the program on Long Island and its lasting impact. Presented by School-Business Partnerships of Long Island (SBPLI), also known as FIRST Long Island, this annual event served as the official kick-off of the 2019 FIRST Long Island season and included a live broadcast of the game reveal direct to the Tilles Center. Hundreds of eager FIRST Long Island students and their parents and coaches listened with rapt attention as FIRST Founder Dean Kamen, FIRST Executive Advisory Board co-chair Woodie Flowers and FIRST president Donald Bossi discussed the program as well as the 2019 theme and objective. “We are here to make sure you have

Before the broadcast, members of SBPLI-FIRST Long Island, sponsors and alumni addressed the crowd, including FIRST Robotics Competition Co-Director Larry Toonkel, Executive Director Bertram Dittmar and Board Members Michael Canders and Jeffrey Stern. The presentation featured guest speakers from FESTO, Cradle of Aviation, Zebra Technologies and alticeUSA—all sponsors of the SBPLI Long Island Regional FIRST Robotics Competition. Immediately following the game reveal broadcast, the visiting teams received pertinent competition details, a first-hand look at the game field,

and were handed their build kits, which contain motors, batteries, a game “boulder,” an AndyMark brand parts kit, construction materials and software program login details, along with limited instructions. “Leading up to the main competition, FIRST Long Island students will work with coaches and mentors to apply concepts of math, science and engineering to build their robots to meet the game’s objectives,” Toonkel said. “The FIRST Robotics Competition is not just about the design and build of sophisticated robots. Our students will also learn important concepts such as teamwork, problem solving and healthy competition. Over the years, FIRST students from Long Island received more than $8 million in scholarships for higher education, in areas of science, technology, engineering, business or math in college. These students also develop maturity,

professionalism and teamwork skills that enrich their lives. Our graduates often pursue careers with sponsoring companies, meeting the businesses’ needs for well-rounded, technically skilled employees.” “This kick-off event was a success from all perspectives,” said David Seinfeld, LIU Post Director of School Planning and Partnerships. “The students were inspirational. Their energy for the program, their honor for each other and their respect for the university’s facilities was truly outstanding.” LIU Post offers full scholarships to high school seniors with a 1300 plus (28 ACT equivalent) and a 90 plus GPA and is encouraging students from Long Island teams participating in the FIRST Robotics Competition to apply. FIRST isn’t limited to Long Island; nearly 3,800 teams from all over the world came together as a community to share in the excitement of seeing the new game unveiled and will draw on this enthusiasm during the six-week build period that is available. During this time, all FIRST students will be asked to design, build, test and update their robots before the start of the 2019 season, which includes more than 170 Regional and District events beginning late February. These events measure the effectiveness of each robot’s design and control, the power of teamwork and the determination of participating students not only to win, but to learn and have fun.

Healthy Breakfasts For Kids:

It’s All About Balance

healthy breakfast is a must for kids. Skip it and your kids will be playing nutritional catch-up for the rest of the day, says Carole L. Adler, M.A., R.D., a dietitian at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). When kids skip breakfast, they don’t get what they need to be at their best, said Adler. “Growing bodies and developing brains need regular, healthy meals,” she said. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, studies show that school children who eat breakfast perform better in the classroom. As with other meals, it’s a good idea for your kids (and you) to eat a healthy balance of fruits and vegetables, proteins, grains and dairy—not just for breakfast but throughout the day. Here are Adler’s seven quick and easy breakfast tips to ensure your children start their day off right.

Breakfast doesn’t have to mean traditional breakfast foods Anything goes, as long as you maintain a healthy balance. So if your kids want a change from cereal and eggs, think about serving left-overs from last night’s dinner. There’s nothing wrong with tuna fish with celery on a whole wheat English muffin or a turkey sandwich to start the day.

Give kids foods they like It’s neither necessary nor effective to feed them foods they dislike. Do your kids turn up their noses at vegetables but love pizza? Left-over pizza with a whole-grain crust and veggies works for breakfast, too. Or make muffins with zucchini and carrots, and spread with peanut butter or almond butter for protein with a glass of milk. Your kids love sugary cereal? Mix a little bit of that cereal with a whole-grain, nutrient-packed healthier brand of cereal. “Nothing has to be off the table altogether, and sometimes just a taste of something your kids like is enough to keep them happy,” Adler said.

Make healthy trade-offs Keep in mind that nutritional balance is key—not just for one meal but for foods eaten throughout the day. Not enough vegetables in the morning meal? Prepare extra carrot, celery, and broccoli

sticks with a hummus dip as an afternoon snack.

Take growth and activity levels into account Growing bodies need nourishment. And if your kids are physically active to boot, they need plenty of calories to keep them fueled. Adler said that having a breakfast that contains protein, fat and carbohydrates helps children feel full and stay focused until lunch. Protein choices might include an egg, some nuts, a slice of deli meat or cheese, or a container of yogurt.

Help your children make healthy choices, even if they’re on the run When time is short, hand your kids something healthy as they head out the door, like a piece of fruit, a bag of nut-and-fruit trail mix, or a whole-wheat tortilla spread with peanut butter or

almond butter, and a carton of milk. “A fruit-filled shake with milk or yogurt takes only a couple of minutes to drink,” Adler said.

Prep the night before Morning is a busy time for everyone—you included. So take ten minutes to think ahead and prep for breakfast the night before. Chop up fruit to layer in a yogurt parfait or add to cereal. Cut up vegetables for an omelet. Mix up muffin or whole-grain waffle batter, cover, and put in the fridge. Get out a pan for pancakes or a blender for smoothies. Put a bowl of nut-andfruit trail mix on the table for kids to grab a handful as they walk out the door.

Use the nutrition facts label and ingredient statement when you shop “The label makes it easy to determine the amounts of nutrients your kids are getting and to compare one product to another,” Adler said. Make sure your children get nutrient-dense foods that are low in salt and added sugars. —Courtesy of the Food and Drug Administration

Which College Is Right For You? Three questions to ask yourself when applying BY JONATHAN GOODSELL

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

“So, where are you going to school next year?” Sometimes it feels like this is the only question people ask you. Maybe you’ve been dreaming about a certain university or maybe you have no idea what you even want to do with your life let alone where to go to school. Choosing the right program is one of the biggest decisions of your life (no pressure). But before you take the plunge, here are three questions to help you figure out “What’s best for me?”

Do I know what I want to do with my life? If you can answer a resounding “Yes!” to this question, I would suggest you stay open to new possibilities. For example, I really thought I wanted to be a psychologist, so I found a great school with a great psychology program. However, after my first semester I realized I liked psychology, but I loved writing and teaching. I switched my major to English writing and rhetoric; became a published author; taught at inner-city schools; and now I work for the U.S. Department of Education. My point is you never really know where life will take you. So if you’ve always wanted to be a doctor, great: get into the best program you can—just don’t close yourself off to trying new things. If you’re not really sure or have no clue, that’s

fine; you have options. Start at a university with an undecided major. Looking to save some dough? Knock out a few basic courses at your local community college (this may give you a better indication of what you like and don’t like— just make sure your credits will transfer). Or, you can take some time off and travel or work; some good, old-fashioned real-world experience can be a great eye-opener.

about what type of school might be the best fit for you. Are you all about a big city or a more rural location? Do you dream of a huge campus with tons of people, or do you like the idea of a closer-knit community? What about study abroad or certain social groups, organizations, clubs and sports? These should also be factors you should include in your big decision. By this point you might be wondering how you’re going to find all this info out and use it to compare various programs. The answer is College Scorecard. This site (www.college scorecard.ed.gov) is designed to help you find schools based on degree, location and other search criteria. Plus, you can compare schools based on school size, average annual cost, graduation rate, average salary after graduation, etc.

How can I afford this?

Start hunting for scholarships and grants. Like YouTube tutorials and social media groups, Have I explored all my options? there are scholarships and grants for almost Maybe you’ve always wanted to go to Harvard; anything you can think of. Next, fill out your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). everyone in your family went to Harvard— It’s free, just like the name says, so if you haven’t Harvard is for you. Or is it? Sometimes the school that looks best on paper (or in your head) filled out your FAFSA yet do it now. Think about what you really want, do your isn’t the best all-around fit for you. Check out research, look at all your options, and choose the competing programs; look for info like tuition, best program for you—after all, it’s your decision. graduation rate, earning potential, typical total debt, etc. Jonathan Goodsell is a management and Also, college is fun. Yes, you’re there to work hard and get an education so you can become a program analyst at the U.S. Department of Education’s office of Federal Student Aid.

related occupations are expected to generate 2.3 million new jobs through 2024, representing faster employment growth than any other industry. “As leaders in the medical profession,” noted Michael H. Brisman, M.D., an attending neurosurgeon and chief executive officer of Neurological Surgery, P.C. (NSPC), “we must focus on inspiring and motivating young people to take interest in STEM education and pursue careers in health and science. This is especially important with the high demand for healthcare and medical science positions, locally and nationally.” “Despite the high demand for healthcare and medical science industries, we are still seeing far too few American high school graduates pursuing these related studies,” said Dr. Ray Ann Havasy of the Center for Science Teaching and Learning (CSTL), a nonprofit organization.

“This competition,” she notes, “seeks to highlight this issue and be part of the solution. Working with the professionals at NSPC, we are supporting and encouraging our next generation’s interest in higher education and careers in STEM fields.” The competition has already attracted a large number of entries, so student teams are encouraged to submit applications as soon as possible. Long Island high school principals, science teachers, and guidance counselors are asked to share this information and encourage students to participate.

HOMEOWNER RELIEF

Congressmen Suozzi, King Provide Tax Relief For Long Islanders

ongressmen Tom Suozzi and Peter King recently announced bipartisan legislation—the “King-Suozzi bill”—that would provide tax relief for Long Islanders. The bill, H.R. 257, would retroactively reinstate a full deduction for state and local taxes (SALT). In 2017, a $10,000 cap was put on SALT deductions that has negatively affected middle-class families, particularly those living in high cost of living areas like Long Island. Reinstating a full SALT deduction will provide these families with tax relief; not more tax burdens. “The tax bill was a punch in the gut for Long Islanders, and all New Yorkers, who already subsidize other states by paying more in taxes than we receive back from the federal government,” said Suozzi. “The limitation of this critical deduction has resulted in a devastating tax increase for the middle class. My district is in the top ten in America state and local tax deduction claims. In New York’s

Congressmen King and Suozzi with Farmingdale Deputy Mayor Robert Barrett, Farmingdale Mayor Ralph Ekstrand, and Kyle Strober, executive director, ABLI third district, over 250,000 families, or 43 percent of households, claim this deduction at an average rate of $18,300.” “Eliminating deductions for local and state taxes will have a devastating effect on Long Island,” said Congressmen King. “We give far more to Washington than we get back. For every dollar we give, we get $.79 back.

You’ve prepared for a rewarding 6 Tipsretirement. to Strengthen Your I can you You’ve prepared for help a rewarding Financial in 2019 makeFoundation the Imost of it.you retirement. can help make the most ofPhilip it. P Andriola, JD

That’s a $48 billion shortfall and hurts our middle class Long Islanders. This legislation is critical.” Long Island was particularly hit hard by the $10,000 cap on SALT deductions. In the Congressmen’s districts, nearly half of all tax filers claimed the deduction with an average of nearly $20,000. Capping the deduction has cost Long Islanders,

and all New Yorkers, billions more in additional taxes. The average SALT burden is above the $10,000 cap in 52 of 62 counties in New York. The additional tax burden is especially unfair because New York is already a net donor to the federal government, sending $48 billion more in taxes to the federal government than we receive in return. “This is an existential issue for Long Island. There is no Republican or Democratic position. It is about the survival of Long Island’s middle class which sorely depends on this exemption to makes ends meet. The response by Congressmen Peter King and Tom Suozzi not only seeks to protect every Long Island homeowner from this threat, but demonstrates that bipartisanship remains strong on Long Island,” said Kyle Strober, executive director, ABLI, a Long Island advocacy organization. —Anton Media Group

You’re singing along with life using your full voice this year. It starts with an exceptional moment in your personal life. Relationships will prove particularly exciting, fortifying and memorable. Then there’s fallout from the new skill you cultivate. It won’t start as much... just following your curiosity and repeating a series enough times to make it stick. Before you know it, there’s a whole community of friends involved, everyone spurring the group on to greater accomplishments.

WORD FIND

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re getting loads done every day, and yet you’re not working on the thing you really want to be working on, and it bothers you. There’s nothing terrible keeping you stuck, you just haven’t made the decision to prioritize this higher. That’s what it’s going to take. Decide this: What matters to you matters. Period. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). What happens this week will be like a gentle shake meant to lovingly wake you. It may take a second to reorient yourself and realize where you are. That is to say, you’re on the same path you’ve always been on, but you just didn’t know its name or where exactly it led. Now you do, and your footing is solid. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Physical confidence isn’t everything, but your body doesn’t know that. So go on and breathe deep and easy, make those power poses, and move in a way as to get your blood flowing with vitality. With a little more confidence, you’ll be able to seize this week’s opportunity and run with it. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Can a person learn to be a better conversationalist without having a conversation? No. Reading up on the subject may help, and talking with safe people is the next step. But the only way to really get great at socializing is to get out there and make mistakes you can learn from. Bonus points for having a lot of fun with it! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll gain proficiency in an area that is meaningful to you. You’ll get in there and solve the problems, repeat successful actions and put everything into a workable sequence. It all happens logically, even the emotional parts. You’ll figure out what works to calm yourself and put yourself into the flow, and then you’ll do that. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Something you experience this week will resonate in such a way as to release a memory that hasn’t come to mind in a very long time. This isn’t a random coincidence, rather it’s a sign that you’re ready to put things together a little differently than you had before, and make sense of things in a new way. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It would be nice if people noticed and responded to who you are, but the truth is, what most people remember about you (or anyone for that matter) is how you make them feel. They respond to how important, happy, playful or attractive they feel around you. Sure, it’s selfish. It’s also universal. Use it to your advantage. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are a lot of things that pass for love that aren’t love. Duty -- close, but not. Infatuation -- feels like it, but no. Mistaken identity, especially for a projection of the heart -- yes! That one will get you every time. So how do you know when it’s love? You give and are fuller for it. Plus, all you want is the other person’s joy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s no need for worry and no room for blame. It can all be handled by some you-on-you soul searching. Give yourself the attention and the time needed to self-assess, reflect and work out whatever’s knotting up your mind and heart. It will really set you on a positive and satisfying trajectory. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Embarrassing things happen to everyone from time to time. It’s not your turn, but you may be able to lessen the impact for a loved one whose turn comes up. Just listening is enough, with perhaps a reminder that people don’t think of others as much as we worry they do. You’ll take pride in being a good friend. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s not fair for a person to say, “I’m being immature, but that’s just me...” and then behave accordingly. Knowing an action is less than ideal and then taking it anyway shows laziness, arrogance or ignorance. Perhaps the person just hasn’t figured out how to change yet. You can help, and you might even be paid to do so. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Each approach has its time. What works well this week will involve very little striving. Stick close to what you’re already doing, but do it with more self-acceptance and appreciation. Then add just one small improvement -- a micro-goal. You’ll be surprised at how much good can come from a teensy adjustment.

Curran, County Health Department Raise Awareness Of Lead Paint Hazards

Nassau County Department of Health (DOH) investigation found that paint chips tested positive for lead at the Shubert School, located in Baldwin and used by the Uniondale School District. Nassau County Executive Laura Curran, joined by Health Commissioner Dr. Lawrence Eisenstein, recently discussed the investigation to raise awareness of lead paint hazards in old buildings, including schools, daycares, homes, and religious institutions. County health professionals discussed the consequences of exposures in young children, lead poisoning causes, warning signs and preventative measures. County Legislators Carrié Solages and Debra Mulé joined the Curran and DOH leadership. “As a precaution, we urge parents to alert their child’s pediatrician of the findings and to request a blood test that looks for elevated lead levels,” said Curran. “Children are at a higher risk because of the rapid growth and development of their nervous system and their tendency to put things into their mouths. Uniondale School District moved quickly to respond to DOH’s concerns.” Peeling paint was noted at the exterior front entrance of the school which has since been closed off. Some of these paint chips tested positive for lead. The interior of the school has not presented as a risk at this time. Out of an abundance of caution, the

DOH will be sending informative letters to parents of the children who attended the school. “The primary route of lead poisoning is by ingesting lead or lead dust,” said Nassau County Health Commissioner Dr. Lawrence Eisenstein. “Our Department annually reviews nearly 40,000 pediatric blood tests for elevated blood lead level and we immediately investigate any cases of lead exposure to ensure that the source is removed as quickly as possible. There is no safe blood-lead level in children.” “The danger of lead poisoning is real and can

impact any building constructed before 1978. The Baldwin School District’s swift and thorough response is commendable and should be a model for all to follow in future incidents,” said Mulé. Initial lead exposure can oftentimes go unrecognized because there may be no obvious symptoms. Parents should look for symptoms such as vomiting and loss of appetite. While many cases of lead poisoning involve leaded paint found in building and homes built prior to 1978, sources of lead poisoning have also included certain foreign cosmetics and makeup products, foreign medicines, toys and jewelry, imported foods, spices, and candies and home goods including cookware, picture frames and pottery. In 2018, more than 50 new cases of lead poisoned children were identified in Nassau County (blood-lead levels ≥10 mcg/dL). Lead poisoning is a preventable disease that causes learning disabilities, behavioral problems, and permanent brain damage in young children. New York State requires health care providers to test all children for lead with a blood-lead test at the age of 1, 2 and assessed annually until 6. “The health and safety of our residents is always our top priority,” said Curran. “We want to remind our residents that lead poisoning is preventable by avoiding and removing these known sources of exposure.” —Nassau County

DINING

Deviled eggs

Shrimp cocktail

Every man is put on earth condemned to eat and drink BY STEVE MOSCO SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

f The Twilight Zone series taught us anything, it’s that nothing is quite as it seems—or perhaps it is exactly as it seems and what sends humans over the edge is a wild imagination. One element of the classic show that is anything but a figment of the viewer’s imagination is the dapper, late ’50s to early ’60s aesthetic. It bleeds into nearly every facet of The Twilight Zone—the sounds effects, the politics, the fashion and, of course, the food and beverages. To eat and drink like someone from that time period—specifically, Rod Serling himself—one might simply enjoy a dry martini or smoke somewhere around five packs of cigarettes a day. But delving deeper into a cocktail party menu from that era reveals far more than one drink and a constant halo of cigarette smoke. For it is a dimension of sound, sight, mind and more deviled eggs than you can imagine.

Hittin’ The Hooch

Martini

In the days of The Twilight Zone, drinking was something men did during work hours—perhaps an early morning buzz in the office until you’re business drunk by lunch

and when dinnertime arrives, a nice cold one to take the edge off and to help deal with a mouthy broad at home. To throw the perfect Twilight Zone-inspired cocktail party, a few specific drinks are crucial. A classic Manhattan (whiskey, sweet vermouth and bitters) always brings an air of ’60s chic to any cocktail party, while a Pink Squirrel (crème de noyaux, white crème de cacao and cream) brings the kitsch-factor so intertwined with the time period. The there’s a Stinger (brandy, white crème de menthe) or a Golden Cadillac (Galliano, white crème de cacao and cream) to round out the evening. Other drinks that will get you seeing monsters on an airplane wing include Tom Collins, Brandy Alexander, Old Fashioned, Vodka Gimlet, Mint Julep and the Gibson Martini, garnished with the veryearly-’60s pickled onion.

It’s A Cookbook

Life isn’t only cocktails and cigarettes. Staying fed while imbibing and smoking is essential to keeping the monsters off Maple Street. Cookbooks from the 1950s had an odd affinity for congealed, gelatin-encased salads that thankfully died out as better judgment

Pigs in a blanket

Manhattan

arrived with the 1960s. But one item that remained was ambrosia salad, the decadent, dessert-like version of a fruit salad. It usually contained pineapple, mandarin oranges, marshmallows, coconut and whatever else was lying around the pantry, binded together thanks to whipped cream, sour cream or yogurt. As mentioned earlier, deviled eggs were everywhere in the early 1960s. With a mashed and seasoned glob of yoke resting easily in the concave egg white, the deviled egg was popped into a thousand gaping, laughing,

cigarette-stained mouths during that bygone era, in a display that was perhaps more disgusting than anything ever shown on The Twilight Zone. And as any good cocktail party focuses only on the priciest of ingredients, you can bet that many a deviled egg found itself topped with salty, briny, stupidly expensive caviar. As mayo and molds were all the rage, so was liver. Chicken liver pâté made many appearances at cocktail parties, with a pop-ability rivaled only by deviled eggs. These days

liver gets an unnecessary bad rap, but in the days of Serling, families regularly gorged on the organ with onions and parties usually included it in pâté form on a crunchy piece of toast. Meanwhile, onions didn’t only hang out with liver. Thanks to the Lipton soup company, a fast and easy version of French onion dip was often the star at any snack table. Simply blend with sour cream and you and your guests are transported to France (I guess?) with a bowl of quickly disappearing chips. One of the past’s most popular cocktail foods lives on as this writer’s personal favorite: the famed pigs in a blanket. The mighty cocktail wiener roars as soon as it is removed from the oven as hungry party freeloaders devour trays upon trays despite the dangers of serious mouth burns. The salty, savory mystery meat of the pig married with the flaky, buttery pleasure of the blanket, this snack is eaten by the dozens especially when paired with any of the drinks mentioned earlier. A close second to the blank pig is the Swedish meatball. Back before Ikea cornered

the market on this morsel, Swedish meatballs showed off a hostess’s worldly culinary knowledge in one tiny bite. Usually swimming in rich gravy, Swedish meatballs were served most likely with a toothpick stuck out of it—a great way to grab bite-sized food, but also a hazard to anyone with a habit of stuffing food in one’s pants for later. Two other cocktail party foods come directly from the sea—salmon mousse and shrimp cocktail. By the 1960s, canned meats and fish had become a staple of the American diet. Canned salmon soon found its way directly into this whipped creation, a delight best served on a buttery Ritz cracker. Then there’s shrimp, a creature basically created to be an appetizer. Peeled, chilled and served with cocktail sauce, shrimp cocktail is perhaps the most cocktail-related snack on this list.

No Time Like The Past

The Twilight Zone era is long gone, but we can still return to that dimension thanks to reruns, food and drinks. Where will we go next?

themed attraction is a fixture at Disney’s Orlando park and at Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris. Rod Serling’s voice greets passengers when the ride’s elevator doors close saying, “You are the passengers on a most uncommon elevator about to ascend into your very own episode of The Twilight Zone.” The ride continues as Serling details the story of five people, some of them guests at the hotel who stepped through the door of the elevator into a nightmare, as the cab takes guests through dark corridors. Serling then warns guests that they are about to “discover what lies beyond the fifth dimension, beyond the deepest, darkest corner of the imagination, in the Tower of Terror.” On the last word of Serling’s narration, the elevator starts its drop sequence. Rather than a simple gravity-powered drop, however, the elevator is pulled downwards, causing most riders to rise off their seats, held down by their seat belt. With randomized patterns of drops,

In 1983, Steven Spielberg produced Twilight Zone: The Movie, which starred Dan Aykroyd, Albert Brooks, John Lithgow, the late Vic Morrow and Scatman Crothers. The film remade three classic episodes of the original series and included one original story. John Landis directed the prologue and the first segment, which became notorious for a helicopter accident that occurred during filming, which caused the deaths of Morrow and two child actors.

The first revival of the sci-fi classic came in 1985, enabled by Serling after his decision to sell his share of the series back to the network. Under CBS, the show didn’t come close to matching the popularity of the original, but in tribute to the original series, the opening credits include a brief image of Serling. Four episodes are remakes of those from the original series: “Night of the Meek”, “Shadow Play”, “The After Hours” and “A Game of Pool”, while “Dead Woman’s Shoes” is an adaptation of “Dead Man’s Shoes.” The second revival came in 2002 under the development of UPN. Hosted by Forest Whitaker, the show

Many of the stories are indeed based on Rod Serling’s scripts from the original Twilight Zone series, but have been expanded and updated to reflect contemporary technology and trends like cell phones and CD-ROMs. Episodes starred the likes of celebrities Jason Alexander, Blair Underwood, Jane Seymour, John Heard, Fred Willard and more.

MUSIC

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

compose music for 54 Twilight Zone episodes including “Nick of Time,” “The Masks” and “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet.” He later composed the score for 1983’s Twilight Zone: The Movie.

DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

tellar writing may have been the engine that drove The Twilight Zone franchise, but the music commissioned for the anthology television series was just as crucial in setting the mood and tone of the 156 episodes that ran during the show’s original five-year run. Top-notch composers were tapped to help provide the proper elements of eerie vibes and dramatic overtones. The following are some of the show’s main compositional stalwarts. Bernard Herrmann (June 29, 1911 to Dec. 24, 1975) This New York City native went to Juilliard and got his start as a staff conductor for the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) in 1934. Primarily known for his work in film, where he garnered five Academy Award nominations (winning only one for 1941’s The Devil and Daniel Webster), Herrmann was best known for working with Orson Welles and Alfred Hitchcock. During that time, the son of middle class Russian immigrants composed the scores for Citizen Kane, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Jane Eyre, Psycho, North by Northwest and Vertigo. Herrmann not only wrote The Twilight Zone’s theme for season one, but wound up creating the music for 69 episodes including “The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street,” “A World Of His Own,” “Kick the Can” and “The Rip Van Winkle Caper.” Other television programs where his work can be heard are Lost in Space, Have Gun—Will Travel, Rawhide and Gunsmoke. Jerry Goldsmith (Feb. 10, 1929 to July 21, 2004) Born in Los Angeles, Goldsmith left behind an enormous legacy that included nominations for six Grammys, nine Golden Globes and 18 Academy Awards (he won once in 1976 for The Omen). Having started playing piano at the age of six but only getting serious at the age of 11, the son of a school teacher and a structural engineer studied theory under Italian composer Mario CastelnuovoTedesco, who also tutored a number of future legendary composers including Henry Mancini, Nelson Riddle, Herman Stein, André Previn, Marty Paich and John Williams. Goldsmith got his start at CBS, first as a typist and later, writing scores for a number of radio shows. His work composing for live television shows such as Climax! and Playhouse 90 led to opportunities to do the same for episodic programs such as Dr. Kildare and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. This paved the way for Goldsmith to

Fred Steiner (Feb. 24, 1923 to June 23, 2011) The son of Hungarian-born film composer George Steiner, this New York City native was a child prodigy who wound up attending Oberlin Conservatory of Music. While his first professional gigs found him creating and arranging for radio broadcasts, he soon moved on to film and television work, with the bulk of his efforts focused on the latter. Steiner not only came up with the theme songs to the original Star Trek, Perry Mason and The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends, but also contributed music to Lost In Space, Mannix and Gunsmoke. He scored 32 Twilight Zone episodes with uncredited stock music including “A Penny For Your Thoughts,” “Five Characters In Search of an Exit” and “No Time Like the Past.” Nathan Van Cleave (May 8, 1910 to July 3, 1970) A veteran big band sideman, Van Cleave briefly led his own group in New York City in the early 1930s before moving to radio and working as a staff arranger for Paul Whiteman, Andre Kostelanetz and Fred Waring. A move to Los Angeles found him scoring films such as Funny Face, Easter Parade and White Christmas. His television work included episodes of Gunsmoke, Perry Mason and 31 installments of The Twilight Zone that included “I Sing the Body Electric,” “A Kind of Stopwatch” and “The Incredible World of Horace Ford.” Marius Constant (February 7, 1925 to May 15, 2004) While the Romanian-born French composer did scant work for television and film, he made his largest mark by way of writing the well-known Twilight Zone theme introduced in the second season. Having been commissioned to write incidental music by CBS, two of his pieces were spliced together in season two, replacing Bernard Herrmann’s original theme. With CBS owning the rights to these pieces, Constant received neither credit nor royalties for a piece of music that wound up being used in countless other shows and films including Sixteen Candles, Moonlighting, The Wonder Years and The Simpsons.
