Richard Schiff: The Doctor Is In

BY JENNIFER FAUCI

jfauci@antonmediagroup.com

“I still haven’t decided on becoming an actor and that’s the truth,” said Richard Schiff, the soft-spoken yet eloquent director/actor whose route to such a profession was, as he puts it “very long and circuitous.” Schiff, a Maryland native, came to New York in 1973 to study at the City College of New York (CCNY) but did not graduate. After taking on other ventures, he returned to New York in 1975 and began to study acting at CCNY, gaining acceptance into their theater program. “I didn’t start acting until I was 32. Before that, I was with a theater company in New York directing plays,” recalled Schiff, who was always interested in the field and followed a yearning to know more. “I was always enthralled by movies and plays when

I was young that put me into a trance. I was curious as to how people could take me away and make me forget where I was, being involved in a story so deeply.” At CCNY, Schiff fell into the school’s fantastic theater program, rich with talented students and professors. He acted in his first play out of college, portraying Lyle Britten in James Baldwin’s Blues for Mr. Charlie. Schiff recalls getting the lead role and finding acting “too difficult and painful” so he abandoned it for a while to direct plays for several years. Of his extensive background in theater (Schiff directed a fresh-outof-college Angela Bassett in Antigone and starred in Glengarry Glen Ross with Al Pacino), he said he prefers the West End Theatre instead of the Great White Way. “I love working in London and the London community, even though I’m

from New York,” he said. “I just always want to go back there and do plays.” Finding his way back into the acting trenches, this time portraying a character instead of directing one, Schiff earned the role of White House communications director Toby Ziegler on NBC’s The West Wing. During his tenure, which included an Emmy win for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series in 2000, he also directed the episode titled “Talking Points” in season five of the show. “I went from director to actor back to director. On The West Wing, I was always the protector of actors on the set; they trusted me to protect the story and integrity of what we were trying to achieve,” said Schiff, adding that he was always very much into storytelling. “Tommy [director Thomas Schlamme] often asked me when I was going to direct and

20190125_XAL_LNW_PG00 - 1:40 January 21,2019

I finally did, but to me, it’s fulfilling someone else’s vision, it’s not really creating your own. I had a great time working with the cast and treated it like a play: I staged it then figured out how to shoot it.” When asked about his time on the silver screen, Schiff shared a few of his favorite films, citing Meet John Doe (1941 starring Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck) and Ninotchka, (1939 starring Greta Garbo and Melvyn Douglas), as his most beloved to watch. “I used to stay up late at night and watch all these old, great movies. Meet John Doe is such a socially relevant movie today,” said Schiff of the film about a public political campaign created unknowingly by a journalist with the involvement of a hired homeless man and pursued

SCHIFF from page 3A by the paper’s wealthy owner. “And Ninotchka was a propaganda film in the ’30s to get a better feeling between Russia and America.” When preparing for the role of record executive Jerry Wexler in the biopic Ray (2004), Schiff said the movie almost didn’t happen. “I was doing The West Wing and we continued to work at it on my end even though everyone thought it wasn’t going to happen,” he said of the film. “I had 24 hours to prepare for that role.” In that time, Schiff got on the phone with Jerry Wexler, read his book on the plane to New Orleans where his scene was being filmed, and ended up getting a first-hand account of who Wexler was thanks to musician Graham Nash being his seatmate.

“I had met and become friends with Graham—he was on his way to the Jazz Festival to play—and he knew Jerry. He told me how great he was and how much he loved Jerry,” said Schiff, who arrived on set and filmed the biggest scene of the movie the first day. “Jerry was really a fascinating guy. Every musician I have ever talked to about him adores the man.” These days, Schiff is serving up smarts as Dr. Aaron Glassman, the former president of the San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital on ABC’s hit drama series The Good Doctor. While noting that it is challenging to do a doctor show, Schiff said that he prepared for the role by watching House, which was also directed by David Shore. “The show has created some

challenges for me. For example, I didn’t know there was such a thing as a post-operative psychosis. We did a whole episode where I went psychotic and saw a vision of my daughter who had died,” said Schiff, noting that it turned out to be a very challenging episode. “The various things that people go through, you want to handle those subjects, like cancer, with honesty and delicacy.” Glassman also serves as a friend and mentor to Dr. Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore), an autistic surgical resident. On working with Highmore, Schiff said, “He is one of the sweetest and most talented actors I’ve ever worked with and that combination can be disturbing.” “We were at the Critic’s Choice Awards and I wrote a speech down in the weird circumstance I would win, but they skipped our category so we were laughing about that and I showed Freddie my speech and he gave me a big hug,” said Schiff of his costar, who just directed an episode of The Good Doctor. “We work together so well and it’s fun to have such true collaboration on set. I really love how the relationship between Shaun and Dr. Glassman had to change to adjust to new circumstances: Shaun is now the caretaker and Glassman, the child.” Schiff is keeping busy. His latest movie Clemency, with Alfre Woodard, is premiering at Sundance this month. It’s about the effects of the

rom theater to film to television, Richard Schiff has portrayed dozens of different roles: a doctor, communications director, professor, phys ed teacher, jeweler, field expert, record executive, senator, and the list goes on and on. His storied acting career makes him

a standout in many flicks, including these noteworthy characters below.

The West Wing as Toby Ziegler (1999-2006) Perhaps most known for his role on The West Wing as White House Communications Director Toby Ziegler (seasons 1-7), this was Schiff’s first major recurring television role. The political character earned

Taking a turn with the dinosaurs in the sequel to the original film, Schiff landed a role The Lost World: Jurassic Park after he was seen by Steven Spielberg in an episode of the television drama High Incident. He played Eddie Carr, a field equipment expert who surrendered his own life to the Tyrannosaurs in order to save his friends. The part opened Schiff up to Hollywood, enabling him to garner more.

Schiff famously shaved his beard to play the role of record executive Jerry Wexler in the movie Ray. A one-onone phone conversation between Schiff and Wexler gave the actor some insight into how to portray the music industry mogul. “He said to me ‘Richard, you wanna play me, huh? Three things: humor, wit and intelligence. Those are three things you gotta use if you wanna play me,’” recalled Schiff of Wexler. “He had a very unique voice, and was the James Joyce of the street if you will. He developed his own language.”

Schiff an Emmy award in 2000 for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. But would he ever return to the screen as Ziegler? “Hypothetically, it would be great to do a reboot or sequel because I think Toby has some redemption to happen for him,” said Schiff.

When your costar is Dwayne Johnson, there’s no chance it will be a dull day at the office. Schiff portrayed Brett Anderson, also known as

I would pop out of my dark hole and go on a run of being very funny and that was such a relief from the darkness,” said Schiff on his love of making people laugh. “I’ve brought out humor in plays and try to find it early on because it warms up the audience to characters. Ballers is a good example because I have such fun on that show.”

The Good Doctor as Dr. Aaron Glassman (2017—)

Currently portraying Dr. Glassman on ABC’s new drama series The Good Doctor, Schiff continues to receive rave reviews for his role as the president (former) of San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital and mentor to Dr. Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore). “It’s challenging to do a doctor show,” said Schiff. “In the first show, I asked [director] David Shore if Glassman was dying, and he told me that he was going to get sick within the first year.” The show just returned for the second half of season two, which sees Glassman get some interesting news about his prognosis.

he holidays are long gone, but the pounds we packed on are not. It might be time to alter the high-calorie lifestyle—but no sane person wants to sacrifice taste in the process. Enter Lo-Cal Kitchen, which opened last May on Glen Cove Road in Greenvale. The light, bright and breezy fast-casual eatery, with plenty of seating for dining in, offers a robust menu of health food with a twist—it actually tastes good. Husband and wife duo Jeff and Debi Feinstein, of Roslyn, said they decided to open Lo-Cal Kitchen after years of cooking at home in a style that naturally cut down on sugars and refined carbs. After enlisting executive chef Stephen Meade, the crew built a menu of minimally processed and nutrient-dense foods like whole grains, high-fiber fruits

and veggies, complex carbs, good fats, lean meats and a healthy dose of superfoods. It’s all wrapped in a vision that promotes freshness, according to Jeff. “We make it very easy to count calories,” said Jeff, a cofounder of Buy Buy Baby. “But the food is delicious and everything is made in house.” The lengthy, made-to-order menu jumps from juice shots and smoothies to grain bowls and salads to burgers and chilis, all without missing a beat. Starting with the salads, all made with high-quality produce, customers can choose one of five menu salads or build their own with two greens, one protein, four toppings and one dressing. The predetermined salads include offerings such as Kale To The Caesar (330 calories), with kale, romaine, grilled chicken, house-made croutons, Parmesan and Caesar dressing; Buffalo Chicken Salad (310 calories), with romaine, chicken, carrots, celery,

The Very Berry Smoothie tomato, blue cheese, hot sauce and a light ranch dressing; and the Athena (380 calories), with romaine, seared shrimp, cucumber, tomato, Kalamata olives, feta and chickpeas with Greek dressing. There’s also grain bowls, where quinoa takes center stage with wilted kale. The standout was the Thai Peanut bowl (420 calories), which brings together red quinoa from Peru, kale, seared shrimp, roasted broccoli, roasted peppers, scallion and edamame with a flavorful Thai peanut sauce that hit all the classic, pungent notes that a Thai sauce needs to hit. The salads and bowls are all made in plain sight of the customer, as are the burgers and sandwiches, which are grilled to order as you wait. The beef at Lo-Cal is grass-fed, while the eatery also has patties of bison, chicken, turkey and a sweet potato quinoa veggie. As with the salads, burgers come

as predetermined recipes or in the build-your-own fashion with one protein, one cheese, one topping and one condiment. This eater decided to go with a bison burger with cheese, caramelized onions and blueberry ketchup on a whole grain wheat bun. The lean bison was fat with flavor and the burger dripped with decadent juices. Other burgers on tap include The Lean And Mean (520 calories), the Fiery Pickle (386 calories) and the Bacon & Blue (400 calories). What really sets Lo-Cal apart is the glass case of prepared food, with an utterly incredible amount of grub available. Listing all of the available items here is near impossible, but a few of the standouts include the mac & cheese, which is made with real cheese that is cleverly blended with butternut squash to cut the calories down. Then there’s buffalo chicken meatballs, which could easily be eaten by the

The Provence Bowl dozen, and cauliflower fried rice, cauliflower risotto and Egg Roll In A Bowl, which allows eaters to enjoy the inside of the eggroll without worrying about the empty calories of the fried exterior. Lo-Cal also created the Cheatza, which is a delectable pizza with a crust made out of chicken. Don’t forget about the most important meal of the day. Yes, breakfast makes a triumphant appearance at Lo-Cal, with egg sandwiches and omelettes available all day. Egg sandwiches include the Jump Start (270 calories), with egg whites, feta spread, sliced tomatoes and housemade guacamole on a whole grain wheat roll; the Player (315 calories) with egg whites, turkey bacon, caramelized onions, cheddar cheese and reduced sugar ketchup on a whole grain wheat roll; and the must-order Warrior, featuring egg whites topped with house-made bison sausage,

Cauliflower Rice cheddar cheese and turkey bacon jam on a whole grain wheat roll. Other breakfast items include steel cut oats, a quinoa-based breakfast power bowl and whole wheat pancakes. Coffee is an all-important way of life at Lo-Cal Kitchen. The eatery brews the jittery stuff from For Five Coffee Roasters, based in Queens. Served in medium roast and dark roast, the coffee is robust yet subtle, with a strong constitution that doesn’t bog down the drinker with bitterness. There’s also an array of espressos and a Nitro Cold Brew coffee. The coffee pairs great with the house-made muffins and breads. Beyond what you see in the store, Lo-Cal kitchen also offers catering, as well as a meal prep plan for those looking to plan their meals ahead.

Swimming Against The Stream How Cracker’s David Lowery became a music rights advocate

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO dgiLderuBio@antonmediagroup.com

avid Lowery is a smart guy. Most folks know him as the founding member of indie rock icons Camper Van Beethoven (CVB) and Americana stalwarts Cracker. In addition to this part of Lowery’s background, he is also a trained mathematician who earned a PhD at the University of Georgia, where he also teaches a number of classes in the school’s music business program. There was even a point when he worked as a quant—a derivatives trader and financial analyst, the kind of profession that leads you to believe these guys are Wall Street rock stars according to how they’re portrayed in Billions. And while the Texas native has actually been in the position of being a rock star in the truest definition of the word, his work fighting for the rights of artists in the face of streaming entities is where he’s made his largest

what amounts get paid out. In being a vocal critic of this latest music industry model, Lowery has been accused of being anti-technology. As someone who has been cast more in the role of an advocate for artists’ rights, it’s an accusation he disputes. “I don’t really have any issue with streaming other than pay. A lot of people say I’m opposed to streaming. If the railroad workers strike against the railroad, they’re not against railroads—it’s a pay dispute. And that’s largely what’s been going on,” he explained. “Music was the canary in the coal mine, because our files are so small, so you can distribute without a license. We’re always at the forefront of that. There are a couple of ways that you can reform music licensing with digital services in the United States.

Safeguarding The People’s Money County Comptroller gives progress report

BY FRANK RIZZO

American Water bill should have been $50, and not $4,300.

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

“There is so much comptrolling to do. So little time.” It wasn’t quite a lament coming from Nassau County Comptroller Jack Schnirman. It was more of a comment on the sheer scale of his department’s purview. Elected in 2017, he took office last January to take his turn keeping an eye on the finances of a county with a troubled fiscal history. In a budget of about $3 billion, there are countless areas to find waste and inefficiencies. According to Schnirman, his auditors have found them. The comptroller was giving his one-year progress report on the four goals he set out for his team on day one: Open and modernize the county’s finances; smart audits that ask the tough questions; clean up and reform county contracting and a “Report it. Reform It” whistleblower program. “We’ve recovered millions of dollars for taxpayers, exposed wasteful government practices, fought on behalf of labor, and laid out Nassau County’s finances honestly,” Schnirman said. “Our residents invest in this community because Nassau County is a great place to live, work, and raise a family. In return for that investment, it’s the government’s job to hold up its end of the deal, and I am excited by both the progress our office has made and the plans for 2019.” In one of his first acts, Schnirman laid out the true state of the county’s financial situation. During the two decades that the county has been under the supervision of the Nassau Interim Finance Authority (NIFA), there have been contentious issues over the size of the deficits and rainy day funds. Often,

Nassau County Comptroller Jack Schnirman delivers his one year progress report. (Photo by Frank Rizzo) two different numbers were published. “All major financial reports coming out of the Comptroller’s Office use the generally accepted accounting protocols (GAAP) national standard when available. No more switching back and forth between different sets of books,” Schnirman related. “We showed that the county had a rainy day fund deficit of $68.8 million in 2017 and projected a $117.1 million operating deficit for 2018.”

Modernizing

One of the things that Schnirman discovered was that the accounting software used by his office dated back to the 1980s. “We jump-started what will be a massive project to upgrade the internal financial management software,” Schnirman stated. “I think we can all agree that we’ve wasted enough time and taxpayers’ dollars doing business around here like it’s the 1980s. It’s messy. It’s inefficient...[and] our outside auditors have identified [the

software] as a material weakness.” Another task, which will be unveiled in the near future, is to put the county’s checkbook online so that anyone can review revenues and expenditures.

Auditing

Schnirman’s office completed six audits begun under predecessor George Maragos and opened seven new ones in 2018. “Totaled up, our office found more than $16.5 million in wastefully spent money, recovered taxpayer funds and wages owed to employees of county vendors,” Schnirman summed up. “The biggest piece was $7.6 million in PILOT (payments in lieu of taxes) recovered because our team knew how to follow the money and were not afraid to go into another municipality and demand answers. That money was close to being lost forever.” His team looked into the operations of several departments and also launched an unprecedented nepotism audit that “while not yet completed, has gotten real results just by getting started,” Schnirman noted. “It’s not about doing the audit,” he observed. “It’s about making the changes as a result of the audit—and it’s about achieving results.” He introduced a new policy, where his teams checks up after six months to make sure recommendations have been followed. “There is money to follow all over the county,” Schnirman remarked. “Like when our claims auditors identified thousands of dollars of suspicious water bill charges. They kicked off a full-scale review of how government is being billed by our utilities.” Turned out, he revealed, that the

“I can’t wait until there are no more boxes of paperwork being delivered around county offices by the ‘Pony Express’ so to speak,” Schnirman said of the paper-heavy billing and claims systems now in use. His office checks every payment that the county makes every year—more than 60,000 involving more than $1 billion in contracts and expenditures. “We’re making the claims process electronic so that our team can conduct faster, more intensive reviews of the bills we’re paying with your money,” Schnirman said. “With the county executive’s office’s help and our staff’s hard work, the entire...process will soon be transitioning to an electronic system.. And that’s something we’re extremely proud of.” There is less chance for fraud and abuse under electronic record keeping, the comptroller affirmed.

Rooting Out

Within a short time of introducing an anonymous tipline (ReportItReformIt@NassauCountyNY. gov), Schnirman said his office received dozens of tips and his investigators met with many whistleblowers to get more information. “It’s opened up a smart dialog throughout the county, so keep [the tips] coming,” he said. “It has been recognized nationally by the National Association of Counties, and it’s getting results.” His office also began a multilingual Living Wage hotline at 516-571-WAGE. “When you put the word out that there are people willing to listen, people will speak up. Spanish language access was huge. And we’re going to do more in 2019,” Schnirman said. Schnirman also created a Policy and Research Unit to study and deliver data-driven reports to aid policymakers with the information needed for innovative solutions and to, in his words, “thing big.” He said that his office did what it set out to do at the beginning of his term, thanking his “unbelievable, awesome and tireless team for having the courage to see what is really happening, even if it make people uncomfortable.” “It’s your money,” he concluded. “And at the end of the day it’s our job to make sure the county spends money the way it’s supposed to be spent.

Cleaning Your Emotional Closet BY JEREMY SKOW editorial@antonmediagroup.com

e all have our concerns. Dire or trivial these issues weigh us down. They take up space. We may not reflect on them every day but they certainly cross our minds and when they do we may feel negative emotions: depression, frustration, remorse, regret, shame or embarrassment. It is healthy to express strong emotions when something goes wrong in your life and should be encouraged. It is part of the healing process. But what if those emotions are damaging? If someone were to experience a loss of a relationship or loss of job, we would likely expect this person to feel sadness. Such an emotion would be appropriate for these circumstances. However, what if this person’s feelings deteriorated into depression that caused him to isolate and turn away

from the people who would love and support him? What if this depression crippled her motivation to pursue a new job? Would these emotions be rational? According to the rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) framework, a rational belief is preferential (i.e., nonabsolute) in nature and is expressed in the form of a desire, wish, want or like. “I wish the circumstances concerning my job were different.” These beliefs are considered rational because they are flexible (we accept that we don’t always get

what we want) and they don’t impede us in the attainment of our goals. “Losing my job was bad, but not terrible. I don’t like it, but I can deal with it and find another job.” On the other hand, irrational beliefs are expressed in the rigid form of musts, shoulds, oughts, and so on. “The life I live must absolutely be the way I want it to be and if it isn’t I’ll be miserable, poor me.” “I must be successful and approved of by others and if I’m not, then I can’t be happy.” Irrational beliefs tend to lead to inappropriate negative emotions such as anxiety, depression, shame and anger. They are inappropriate for three reasons: (1) they cause the individual to experience a great deal of pain and discomfort; (2) they can motivate someone to engage in self-defeating behavior; (3) they can impede someone from carrying out behaviors necessary to reach their goals. Our goal for happier living

would therefore be realized by minimizing our irrational thoughts. Awareness is the first step toward cleaning out your emotional closet. The more you are aware of your torment-creating irrational thoughts, feelings and behaviors, the more successful you will be at getting rid of them. Recognizing the appropriateness of these emotions may be much harder. The next step involves actively disputing your irrational beliefs. When you are irrational you oppose reason and refuse to accept things for the way they truly are. Where is the proof that I am unattractive to others because I lost my job? Where is the evidence that the loss of my job indicates I am incompetent and unlikely to ever experience success again? The third step is based on the REBT theory that we have the ability to change our thoughts and feelings by acting against them. Thoughts,

feelings and behaviors are believed to interact and affect each other. Crazy ideas lead to frantic feelings and strange acts. Frenzied feelings bring on foolish notions and behaviors. Rash actions cause bizarre convictions and delirious emotions. The fear of a pool might only be overcome if you actively decide to test the waters. Forcing yourself to keep doing what you are afraid of has the potential of ridding you of your irrational fears. This spring inventory your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Make an effort to challenge yourself when you’re being irrational. Focus on behaviors that are consistent with your goals and live happier.

Gillibrand Enters Presidential Race New York State Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has officially tossed her hat in the ring for the 2020 presidential election. She announced her intentions on the Jan. 15 episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Gillibrand is running on a platform focused on motherhood and family-centric issues. “I’m going to run for president of the United States because as a young mom, I’m going to fight for other people’s kids as hard as I would fight for my own,” Gillibrand said on the Late Show and repeated the sentiment at the Jan. 16 news conference in her hometown of Troy, NY, where she lives with her husband, Jonathan, and their two sons, ages 15 and 10. The economic issues facing families has been part of her legislative agenda since she assumed office in 2009, including introducing legislation for expanded pre-K access, reduced childcare costs, sponsoring the Family and Medical Insurance

Leave (FAMILY) Act and supporting equal pay for equal work. Her platform also includes economic growth, job creation and lower health care costs. “Health care should be a right and not a privilege,” Gillibrand told Colbert. As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, she has worked with others in the senate to improve access to benefits for active military members, veterans and their families. Gillibrand joins about 30 other Democrats who have indicated plans to join the 2020 primary race. Like several others in the crowded field, she has shunned corporate PAC (political action committee) money. In a tweet, Gillibrand said, “We’ve gotten grassroots donations to our exploratory committee from all 50 states! This campaign is going to be run for and by people, not corporate PACs—that’s how we live by our —By Kimberly Dijkstra values.”

Women On The Rise In Politics

BY JERRY KREMER

of Republican women has decreased from 23 to 13. This dramatic change in numbers is no accident. The Democratic Party has gone out of its way to encourage women to seek public office. In Washington, the Republican Party continues to be an “old boy” party. This past year, some random efforts were made by Republicans to recruit women to run, but many of them lost primary contests to men. Upstate Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik has taken up the cause of recruiting more female candidates, but she has been rebuffed by her fellow members. If you watched the opening ceremonies of the new U.S. Congress you had to notice that the new Democratic majority looks like today’s America and the Republicans resemble a male only corporate board meeting. How do you account for the

ome of our readers will not be thrilled with this column, but facts are facts and nothing that I am writing is a surprise to people who follow politics closely. There is a political revolution going on all over America and the movement is being led by women. This has little to do with the Me Too Movement. It’s more about the fact that a lot of women don’t like what men have done to the American political system. David Gergen, a noted public figure who has served four presidents and his staff analyst James Pitch, recently penned an article “Why Nancy Pelosi is good for America.” Having survived a lifetime of challenges and personal attacks, like her or not, she is symbolic of the changes that are taking place in politics

For years right up to the November election, Pelosi has been a Republican piñata, but the dust has settled and once again she is second in line of succession to the president.

surge in female candidates beyond party recruiting? Many qualified women have finally decided that politics is now worth pursuing as a career. They have been encouraged to run seeing the success of others. Organizations like Emily’s List have been supporting candidates all over the country with tangible support. On Long Island, Laura Curran is Nassau County Executive and both Laura Gillen of Town

of Hempstead and Angie Carpenter of Town of Islip hold office. Once upon a time the armed forces refused to allow women to go into combat. Not only has that changed, but the 2019 Congress has six women who have seen active duty in Afghanistan or Iraq. Obstacle after obstacle to women in politics has come crashing down and the business of one-sided politics is fast becoming yesterday’s news. It’s now up to this new generation of leaders to prove they are up to the job. I have no doubt that they will succeed and in a lot of cases do much better than their male counterparts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q A

What is Catholic Schools Week?

Catholic Schools Week is an annual event, celebrated across the country during the last week in January. The week is set aside to celebrate the unique nature of the Catholic schools in each community. In addition to the internal events (teacher and parent recognition events, school spirit days, special assemblies, etc.), it is also a week where the schools open their doors to the families of the parish/parishes they serve and to the general public who might be considering the benefits of a Catholic education.

Q A

As a school family, how do I participate?

Each school publishes a complete list of events and activities taking place in

their school during the week. School families are encouraged to visit the website of their school.

Q A

As a family considering a Catholic education, how do I learn more?

Catholic Schools Week features open houses at the schools where parents and students can visit the school(s) they think they might be interested in and get a tour of the facility, be introduced to the teachers, meet some of the current families and children and generally learn about the academic, spiritual, social and physical development programs.

As a prospective family, do I have an “assigned school”?

One of the first differences you will notice about Catholic school is that you get to select the school that you believe your children will be most successful in. There is no direct “assignment” based on where you live and most school districts provide busing to the school based on a feeling of warmth and of your choice within a 15-mile radius. caring they got during their visit. Others are more analytical and make direct comparisons based on the What should results on standardized test scores parents look for and high school admittance history. during their visit? Regardless of how you make your decision, the schools are “open books” Many parents of current during this week, providing whatever students tell us that their information prospective families dedecision was emotional and sire to support their decision.

Long Island’s Catholic Elementary schools set their own tuitions, so they vary slightly, but there is no penalty for choosing a school outside of your parish or town if you are a parishioner in the Diocese. The system of schools is an asset here on Long Island for all of the families of the Diocese and for all of the families of Long Island.

Saint

is also a series of video interviews on the website (www.licatholicelementaryschools.org) where current parents offer their advice on how to get the most out of your visit.

Is there a difference in tuition to attend a different school?

When parents select Catholic elementary school, what are the most frequently cited reasons?

Q A

Are non-Catholics welcome in the schools?

The schools are welcoming places to everyone without regard to race, religion or national origin. A religion class is a requirement, students participate in liturgies and faith is an integrated part of daily activities, but many schools have a significant population of students who attend because of the quality of the education alone.

Will attending Catholic elementary schools help my child get into a prestigious The reasons that are most Catholic high frequently mentioned Anne’s Early Childhoodschool? Program are academic excellence,

the reinforcement of the values lived at home, Catholic religious identity, a safe, nurturing environment for learning, more individualized attention to each student’s learning needs, an outstanding extracurricular program and the level of partnership established with parents.

Attending a Catholic elementary school isn’t the only way to get into a Catholic high school, but it is still the best way. The Catholic high schools are open to all students and typically have a very significant number of students from a public school background. Students qualify

for Catholic high school through a test for eighth graders that is administered in October of each year. Typically the students from Catholic elementary schools are best prepared for the academic rigor, the integrated program of faith and values and the service orientation of the high schools. Virtually all of the students from Catholic elementary school (99 percent) are admitted to a Catholic high school, with the vast majority getting into the school that is their first choice.

Q A

How can I learn more or choose the school(s) I would like to visit?

There is a resource for families on the Internet that provides a very complete picture of the Catholic elementary school experience. It features an interactive map that is your guide to each of Long island’s distinctive Catholic schools and that lets you view the geographic options for your children at www.licatholic elementaryschools.org.

A Different Approach To Studying World Languages BY ANTHONY BISCIONE specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

his school year, 10 Catholic schools in the Diocese of Rockville Centre decided to take a different approach to studying languages other than English. They have augmented their traditional foreign language program with Rosetta Stone, a computer-based learning program. The Rosetta Stone program allowed these schools to offer greater flexibility in their school’s curriculum. Students could choose to study any one of a variety of languages which include but are not limited to Italian, Spanish, French, Polish and Chinese. Many students are even studying Latin, which is at the foundation of many European languages and has become a popular choice in some of the schools. The Rosetta Stone program is computer-based and gives students the opportunity to acquire a second language while further developing their computer skills. Rosetta Stone provides students with a sense of autonomy, allowing them to progress through the units at their own pace. Students in the same class can learn different languages and share what they learn with their classmates. Students are encouraged to become critical thinkers and observe similarities and differences in their chosen languages and the languages studied by their classmates. “The program’s immersive learning style and the immediate feedback contribute to a sense of pride

Students at Notre Dame School in New Hyde Park work on foreign language skills using the Rosetta Stone language program. They are one of 10 schools in the Diocese who have expanded their foreign language program using computer-based learning. and independence for our language learners,” said Mina Woodward, a language teacher at Notre Dame School. “My students are enthusiastic and look forward to logging in each day.” In addition to working on the program in school,

students can work on activities and games at home on mobile devices. Anthony Biscione is the Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum for the Diocese of Rockville Centre.

Parishioners, Students Attend March For Life More than 1,000 parishioners from across the Diocese of Rockville Centre and nearly 700 high school students participated in the 46th annual March for Life on Friday, Jan. 18, in Washington, DC. The more than 31-bus Diocesan contingent joined more than 100,000 Americans on a journey across the country to the nation’s capital for this year’s March for Life, the largest annual pro-life demonstration in the world. This year’s theme, “Unique from Day One: Pro-life is Proscience” focused on how scientific advancements reveal the humanity of the unborn child from the moment of conception. Prior to the event, Most Reverend John O. Barres, Bishop of the Diocese of Rockville Centre said he was looking forward to “being with hundreds of our young students and faculty from each of our nine Catholic high

schools and hundreds of parishioners from across Long Island as we come together in our nation’s capital, giving living witness to the gospel of life.” “I am proud of each and every one of them as they are willing to be vocal and courageous in the public square about the deep reverence for every human life at every stage of life,” said Barres. “Let this strong outpouring of support for the gospel of life, and respect for human dignity, radiate to our local statehouses including New York, where Governor Cuomo and the NY State legislators plan to make the horrific ‘Reproductive Health Act’ the law of New York State. This dangerous act would effectively remove all impediments to late term abortions. I invite all Catholics to pray with us for the protection of all life from the moment of conception until natural death.”

The March for Life Rally took place at noon at 12th street on the National Mall. Following the rally, the march began on Constitution Avenue between 12th and 14th streets at approximately 1 p.m. where it continued up Constitution Avenue and ended at the U.S. Capitol and U.S. Supreme Court buildings. Some marchers visited with their U.S. Congressional and Senatorial representatives after. The Diocese of Rockville Centre also hosted a post-rally prayer service and blessing at St. Joseph’s Church on Capitol Hill (313 2nd Street NE, Washington, DC 20002). In addition, Bishops conducted continuous prayer services and blessings at 15-minute intervals for pilgrims before they boarded buses to return home to Long Island. —Submitted by the Diocese of Rockville Centre

Engaging Our ‘Digital Natives’ Balancing technology and traditional learning methods in Catholic Elementary Schools BY EMILY GUARNIERI specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

ver since writer Marc Prensky popularized the term ‘Digital Native’ in 2001, there has been a debate about ‘how much technology is too much technology’ in schools. A digital native is an individual who was born after the widespread adoption of digital technology. All current elementary school students are, by that definition, digital natives. Catholic schools on Long Island are among the leaders in technology implementation even though they are centered on traditional values and timeless teachings. Throughout the schools of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, students have the opportunity to participate in a healthy balance of technology-enabled learning and personalized traditional learning. Each school has mobile devices (i.e. Chromebooks and iPads), interactive whiteboards and the ability to communicate virtually with others, both in the United States and throughout the world, to enhance student learning outside of the computer lab. Yet many of these same schools have created some very human spaces like Discovery Rooms, where hands on experimentation furthers student creativity. One area that schools are focusing on, both at the elementary and secondary level, is coding. Through coding, students are able to develop important critical thinking skills, which will benefit them in the future. These skills include analyzing, problem solving, thinking logically, computational skills and more. Students who code learn the importance of giving clear instructions and have the opportunity to learn from their mistakes and self-correct. During coding sessions, students are taught to help each other problem solve. Students are able to work on their coding skills not only in technology classes but on their Chromebooks and iPads. A main coding activity that Catholic elementary students across Long Island participate in is the Hour of Code. During the Hour of Code, held each December, coding skills are fostered in the classroom. By promoting code, students are not only developing the skills previously mentioned

Students at St. Rose of Lima School in Massapequa working in the computer lab on a coding project.

Pre-K students at Holy Angels Regional School in Patchogue using robotic blocks to learn the concepts of coding and reusable instruction sets. but also are exposed to different career opportunities available. Tens of millions of students in 180 countries participate in the Hour of Code. Long Island Catholic school

students often develop initial coding skills through assignments to direct the movement of robots, such as Dot and Dash, Lego Robotics and Little Bits. By using robotics, students are

able to see whether the code they developed worked in real life. One example of how students do this is through developing obstacle courses for the robots to complete. Through courses and clubs at the school, students are able to take their interest in coding as far as they want. In fact, for the second year in a row, a student from Holy Trinity Diocesan High School won the Congressional App Challenge for the 4th Congressional District. In 2018, Holy Trinity junior Jeannine Simeti, a graduate of St. Raymond School in East Rockaway, designed a Book Finder app and will be honored at a ceremony in May in Washington, D.C. The irony in the development of a book finder app hasn’t been lost on us. Catholic schools are still institutions that place a high value traditional skills like reading and writing, and of course Catholic schools are all still centered on one particular book, the Bible. Emily Guarnieri is the Director of Educational Technology for the Diocese of Rockville Centre.

The use of cutting-edge technology, including campus-wide wireless capabilities, an online system that allows students and parents to access homework and grades, and school-issued iPads for every student in sixth through twelfth grade, helps teachers provide students with a strong academic foundation. At the early childhood and primary grade levels, students actively explore concepts and develop skills through an interdisciplinary approach utilizing the latest technology, hands-on learning materials, and skill-related experiences. Students in grades 6-12 incorporate technology as an interactive tool that enables them to be independent learners while investigating research-based learning. The St. Mary’s education is about more than just academics – spiritual values, a sense of service and the growth of faith are fostered by connecting Gospel values to all parts of the curriculum, including core academic classes, allowing students at all grade levels to deepen their moral standards

and ethics. Students learn about the tenets and meaning of their faith and how to live it joyfully, especially in serving others within the school and greater community. The school day doesn’t end when the last bell rings – St. Mary’s becomes a vibrant after-school community as students at all grade levels participate in a wide range of extracurricular clubs and activities, exploring their talents and skills outside of academia.

Middle school and high school students gain an appreciation for the arts and develop their creativity through participation in the Fine and Performing Arts Program, taking classes in art, chorus, band, orchestra, dance or stage performance; performing arts students learn from and work alongside professionals in those fields, thanks to St. Mary’s collaboration with The Josephine Foundation. The Schools of St. Mary is also proud of its competitive athletics programs at the middle school and high school levels, which are highly regarded for both excellent coaching and superb sportsmanship. From the early childhood students to high school seniors, The Schools of St. Mary is preparing inspired thinkers and creative leaders, guiding all students as they develop the character traits of great leaders and

St. Mary’s welcomes a diverse student body, consisting of students of many different faiths and cultural backgrounds, who come from Nassau and Suffolk Counties and several New York City boroughs including Queens and Brooklyn.

ong Island Catholic Elementary Schools add the arts and religion to the popular STEM approach. One of the differentiating factors to a Catholic education has traditionally been the view of the world through the lens of the Catholic faith. Educationally, the concept of STEM, or eliminating the educational ‘silos’ of isolated, individual subjects and viewing them through the real-world application of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math place real value on the practical application of knowledge. The intersection of these two concepts create a framework for instruction called STREAM. Working with St. John’s University School of Education, the Diocese is prototyping a move from the current STEM educational focus, where Science, Technology, Engineering and Math concepts are presented together to something called STREAM, a more evolved version of STEM that additionally incorporates religion and the arts.

teachings of compassion, forgiveness and social justice provide a yardstick to evaluate historical events through the lens of the Catholic faith. As one of the early adopters of STEM, and an original participant in Long Island’s original STEM event, Technology Day, the schools of the Diocese of Rockville Centre have long been on the leading edge of instruction that couples rigorous academic concepts with the real-world application of these concepts to build true understanding. The characteristics of a STREAM of educational framework include the integration Catholic identity into every aspect of the curriculum. Schools manifest this intent through projects based in social justice as well as in-depth experiential instruction in the teachings of the church. By design, STREAM schools provide a challenging learning environment focused on science, technology, math, arts, and the integration of education in the faith that inspires the joy of discovery. STREAM schools also promote a culture of innovation and stress a commitment to ethical behavior. STREAM is also student-focused, seeking to increase the participation

As Pope St. John Paul II stated; “Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth—in a word, to know himself—so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves.” In the Catholic Elementary Schools of Long Island, the implementation of a STREAM framework for instruction moves us closer to the contemplation of that truth by exploring the relationship between faith and reason.

jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

By the end of this month, six agents with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) will be leaving their trailer at the Nassau County Correctional Center in East Meadow. ICE will continue to work in both Nassau and Suffolk counties, but they have been ordered out of the facility by Nassau County Executive Laura Curran. “We do not need any more time to think about ICE relocating away from county jail property,” Curran said in a statement. “Let me be clear: Nassau County is tough on crime—that is why we have the lowest crime stats in decades. The law is the law, and we will follow it. Removing ICE from the trailer gives us the opportunity to eliminate confusion in the immigrant community and demonstrate that inmates are there for crimes. This strengthens our community policing model.” The county executive’s office said that a November appellate court ruling against a Suffolk County detention policy influenced the shift. Suffolk County had previously allowed correction facilities to hold individuals under federal warrants at a time when they would otherwise be released. There will be still be coordination between the county and ICE on the issue of illegal immigrant crime. “Commissioner [Patrick] Ryder will continue to work with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and with our communities,” Curran added. “I want to thank Commissioner Ryder for his strong leadership.”

The decision was criticized by both Nassau County legislators and law enforcement officers. “The decision did not state that the county, including staff and our correctional facility, can no longer cooperate with ICE, including handing over inmates, who, for example, are known members of gangs,” said Nassau Legislature Presiding Officer Richard Nicolello in his own statement. “Cutting off this valuable resource for any reason is an affront to the taxpayers and residents of Nassau County who depend on their elected and appointed officials and law enforcement agencies to keep them safe,” added Brian Sullivan, president of Nassau’s Correction Officers Benevolent Association at a Mineola press conference. The county executive’s move also had its supporters, mainly on the grounds of improving relations between law enforcement and the immigrant community. “Thanks to Nassau County Executive Laura Curran for ordering ICE to vacate the East Meadow jail campus,” tweeted a statement from the New York Immigrant Coalition. “We look forward to improving trust amongst community members.” “The presence of ICE trailers at the county jail had created the impression in the immigrant communities that the police were working hand in glove with ICE,” said Patrick Young, an immigration attorney in a statement to the media. “It’s very important that the police establish trust with the immigrant community.”

MUSEUM NEWS

The Year Of D-Day’s Legacy

he Museum of American Armor located within Nassau County’s Old Bethpage Village Restoration in Old Bethpage, New York, recently announced that 2019 will be “The Year of D-Day’s Legacy,” when many of its educational programs, displays and operational exhibits will allow the visiting public to study the historic lessons of the Allied invasion of Europe that took place 75 years ago, June 6, 1944. Museum president and founder, Lawrence Kadish, stated, “There are two stark facts. The teaching of history is no longer a priority in many of our classrooms; and World War II, the seminal conflict that shaped the last 75 years of geopolitical events around the globe, is not understood by the vast majority of students currently in public schools. As we approach the 75th anniversary of that hard won assault on the Normandy beaches of France, the Museum of American Armor will strongly advocate to make this chapter in history an essential part of the academic curriculum.” The museum features many of the operational tanks and artillery that came ashore that June morning to confront the Nazi Third Reich. Throughout the year it creates a variety of realistic tactical scenarios in cooperation with the Long Island Living History Association (LILHA), for the purpose of keeping alive the heritage of those Americans who have served in the military. The museum’s 2019 focus on D-Day secured praise from Dr. Libby O’Connell, Chief Historian Emeritus, of the History Channel. “It is a sad, but an inexorable fact of life that we are losing the veterans who came ashore at Normandy beach. It is up to institutions such as the Museum of American Armor to ensure we understand the legacy that was left to us by these men and why it still very much matters. Declaring 2019, The Year of D-Day’s Legacy’ creates an appropriate 75th anniversary model for others to embrace because we cannot allow this battle to fade into the barely recalled past.” Nassau County Executive Laura Curran has endorsed the museum’s yearlong commitment to recognizing the enormous impact of D-Day on

HERO from page 14A property. This is the second lot that Sklar’s group has acquired from the county. The first was on Thorman Avenue in Hicksville, where he and his volunteers erected a two-story house in 2014. Then-Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano attended both the groundbreaking and ribbon cutting. Mangano’s offer to donate the site was approved by the Nassau County Legislature.

It is part of our ongoing recognition that

Conference will make it their mission to provide veterans an opportunity to buy quality housing at an affordable cost. According to a press release, “Brooks has identified three key areas—health, employment and housing—as priorities for his committee and its focus this legislative session.” “New Yorkers who put our nation’s interest ahead of their own and served in our armed forces are owed a debt of gratitude that can never truly be repaid,” Brooks said. “These heroes acted selflessly when they put their lives on the line to defend the freedoms we know today. Larry Sklar, and the

we have an obligation to keep faith with those who safeguarded civilization, and the many veterans who came home after securing the peace, to settle in Nassau County,” stated County Executive Curran. Gloria Sesso, president of the Long Island Council for Social Studies, congratulated the armor museum and the Nassau County departments of Parks, Recreation and Museums for creating a program that engages literally every school district on Long Island. “Unfortunately, not every district will take advantage of this program, and parents should ask `Why not?’ for understanding history is the cornerstone for understanding the world around us,” said Sesso. “On the 75th anniversary of D-Day we have a solemn responsibility to ensure that a new generation appreciates its importance in creating the world they now inhabit.” Among the efforts scheduled by the Museum of American Armor during the landmark anniversary year of D-Day is the creation of an age appropriate series of graphic history lessons, symposiums with leading military scholars, and field displays with Allied and enemy armor vehicles that simulate combat tactics used along French country lanes after the Allied landings. Opened in cooperation with Nassau County Department of Parks, Recreation and Museums, The Museum of American Armor at Old Bethpage Village Restoration is a living tribute to every veteran who has served our country and those who continue to defend our nation today. Its collection includes operational World War II tanks, artillery, armored cars and weapons that broke the back of the Axis powers some seventy five years ago. It is open Wednesday through Sunday, year-round, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Requested admission donations to the museum are $14, adults; $7, children 5 to12 (under 5 are free); and $7 for seniors, volunteer firefighters and veterans.

incredible volunteers of Homes for Homecoming Heroes, are providing affordable, quality housing to veterans and allowing them to excel in their civilian lives, not to simply pick up where they left off.” “I would like to thank Senator Brooks and the Village of Freeport for their support of this project. Providing affordable housing to our veterans is just one way of showing our gratitude to those who protect our freedoms,” Sklar said. A lottery will be put in place to determine who will get a chance to purchase the finished home. Contact Sklar at 646-641-8460 for more information on the lottery,

donating and volunteering. Eligibility includes an honorable discharge, at least a 600 credit score and an annual income between $50,000-$72,000 a year. Sklar told Anton Media Group that the buyer will need to put down 1 percent plus the cost of construction. A 30-year fixed mortgage will be offered through the State of New York Mortgage Agency. A profile of Sklar in the New York Times stated that his Army basic training in 1962 was cut short for medical reasons. “I’m not a veteran,” Sklar insists. “I’m a veterans’ advocate. I serve those who serve ‘U.S.’”

The longer you hold off, the longer you’ll be free to do something totally original. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Negotiations ensue. The important thing is not to be in a position of need. If you can’t help that, the next best thing is not to appear that you’re in a position of need. Take stock of all that you can handle on your own. If you feel like you could away at any moment and it’s all the same to you, you’re in a good position. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There are ideas that seem right for a very long time, maybe even forever, and other ideas that change with the times. Sometimes even you don’t always agree with everything you say. This week, your high intelligence leads you to consider, reconsider, experiment and improve both your thinking and your life. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your attractions have validity. Maybe it’s not 100 percent in line with what you need, but if you’re attracted, it’s worth investigating why. Go carefully and thoughtfully. Just because your heart says “go” doesn’t mean you have to go now. Also, an investment will be required, so you’ll want to make sure it’s going to be worth it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Treats and entertainments will be available and aplenty. Setting limits in this regard may seem like no fun at all, and yet limits are, of course, essential to good living. Some of the delights around you are rather easy to get carried away with. Better to take control early on than to be controlled when it’s too late. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). For what you’re going through now, there’s a process that has its own timing, and it’s something that can’t be rushed, paused, slowed or stopped. You could try, and the process would win, and you would be battered. The most graceful thing you could do is to decide that this is all for the best and surrender. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s a community out there who needs you, who will gladly will pay for and use what you’re giving, who will thrive because of you. You should note that the community doesn’t and won’t exist until you assemble it. Of course, the people are out there, but they need a common thread. And guess what? You’re it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The work that needs doing is between you and you. No one else will see it and applaud. No one else will award you at the town council meeting. Because this is so personal and specific, consider praising and rewarding yourself. It will keep motivation high and momentum strong for this team of one. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). We all think too small or show up as a less than generous version of ourselves from time to time. If it is your desire to avoid repeating mistakes, then forgo all things shallow and shortsighted and make room for spiritual nutrition that will fortify your soul -- the hallmarks of which are inclusion, compassion and work. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The answers go to those who ask the questions. So ask, and then wait in silence. If you distract yourself, you’ll miss it. But in stillness and quiet, the answer will come. Probably at first it won’t appear to fit, but turn it around a few times the way you would a puzzle piece, and you’ll see how it clicks in. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll make tiny agreements with yourself inside your head. “I’ll do this! No, I won’t. How about this? Yes. Nope. Maybe?” Think of the tickertape of thoughts as a kind of investigative process. When a decision passes that stage, it becomes important. Say it out loud, write it, tell others and declare it sacred.

A Step Up For Service

Curran swears in largest class of correction officers in more than a decade

assau County Executive Laura Curran, accompanied by Sheriff Vera Fludd, administered the Correction Officer Oath of Office to 40 newly hired correction officer recruits in the Ceremonial Chamber yesterday afternoon. The class is comprised of nine female recruits and 31 male recruits, many of whom have prior law enforcement or military experience. This is the largest class of recruits to be hired since 2008. In addition, four Nassau County Fire Marshals were also sworn in, and a Glen Cove Harbor Patrol Officer and Town of Oyster Bay Constable who will participate in training were present. At the swearing in, Curran assured the new recruits that no matter what the fiscal situation is for the county, they are guaranteed that their steps will not be frozen.

“Our correctional officers and fire marshals are an integral part of ensuring public safety in Nassau County, and I will continue to do all I can to support and strengthen their mission,” said Curran. “Thanks to legislation I secured with Governor Cuomo’s support, we can guarantee that our law enforcement will be getting their step increases and the tools they need to ensure public safety no matter what.” “I am extremely pleased to

welcome this large and diverse group of correction officer recruits,” said Fludd. “We are continuing to move forward in recruiting and hiring people who want to serve Nassau County in this challenging yet rewarding law enforcement profession.” “I am extremely proud and happy to see this large number of recruits hired as correction officers in Nassau County,” T:8.7” President said Brian Sullivan, of the Correction Officers

Benevolent Association. “COBA has been working diligently with the county administration and civil service to get these new hires on board to finally catch up on the large number of retirements we have experienced here in the last couple of years. We still have much more work to do to get our work force back up to full strength and...I greatly appreciate the county executive’s help in the passage of the NIFA Steps Legislation.”

The 14-week long initial recruit training will include recently added topics such as mental health first aid and Narcan training. On Sept. 28, a recruit class of 25 graduated the Sheriff’s Training Academy and have since begun working at the correctional center. Corrections officers are the only law enforcement members that have a Nassau County-specific residency requirement, which limits recruitment efforts. The county will be seeking legislation to expand the job to contiguous counties, similar to the police department’s recruitment. In November 2018, Governor Cuomo signed a bill that will allow Nassau County’s union employees to receive annual “step” raises even if the Nassau Interim Finance Authority (NIFA) imposes a wage freeze. —Nassau County

Camper Van Beethoven (Photo by Hillary Terenzi)

LOWERY from page 10A can go to the courts, and the opinion of the courts becomes the law. I don’t want to give everybody a legal lesson here. But we’re a common-law country, so the opinion of the courts acts as law. The problem with streaming wasn’t just that our pay was low, but a lot of songwriters weren’t getting paid. So the class action lawsuit did exactly what we intended, which was to force a settlement whereby one streaming service, which the others now follow, has to make a much better effort to pay artists. And the Music Modernization

Act wound up getting enacted as a result of that class action lawsuit, which came up with a different methodology of licensing songs that is probably fairer to songwriters and will go into effect in three years.” For the meantime, Lowery will be going back to his day job, in this case, going out on the road and doing double duty with Cracker and CVB splitting a bill. With 2014 being the last time either band released material, via From Berkeley to Bakersfield and El Camino Real respectively, fans can expect a retrospective set list to dictate

JANUARY 23 - 29, 2019 31A

that evening’s slate of live music. “There’s really not a current record right now, so we’re trying to pull a couple of things off of each era of each band. We’ve kind of reintegrated the lineups a lot. So it’s Jonathan Segel, who normally plays violin and guitar in Camper Van Beethoven, playing keyboards with Cracker. And Cracker’s drummer is playing with Camper,” he said. “Although neither band has been considered a jamband, we have a lot in common with that scene. We’re a little bit like that and so it lets different incarnations of each song come out a little bit more. So it’s fun for us. ” The son of a career Air Force father, Lowery spent his childhood growing up in different locales and being exposed to numerous musical genres. Having first picked up a guitar at 14 and later switching to bass, these wide-ranging influences shaped CVB’s absurdist musical approach when it was founded in 1983. “Camper grew up in a surf town that has its own musical subculture. Living in Santa Cruz, the punk and surf thing was really close together. There was a lot of that in the ’80s and there was a lot of surf-infused punk and stuff like that. A lot of Camper’s exoticness came out of surf and I didn’t realize

this at the time,” he said. “Camper really did have this approach where rock has always been a mongrel. In a weird way, even though we were seen as these crazy outsiders doing this crazy stuff, we thought we were firmly within the mainstream of the idea of rock.” With the music industry in such a state of flux, Dr. Lowery has spent his recent years in academia, teaching classes about business fundamentals as applied to the music industry. (“It’s like the Freakanomics of the music industry.”) For the former quant-turned-professor, it’s really not that far removed from what he does whenever he get behind the mic at a concert. “To me, it’s the same thing as doing a show. You’ve got to plan what you’re going to do, make a set list, get up in front of people and keep their attention for an hour and 15 minutes,” he said. “The main difference is that it’s in a lecture class of about 250 people that are considerably younger. And they’re not drunk or high. Or at least as far as I know.” Visit www.longislandweekly. com to read a longer version of this story and to find out about David Lowery’s favorite Camper Van Beethoven/Cracker covers.

DOCUMENTARY

Indigenous Music Makers

Rumble documentary tells story of Native American artists’ contributions BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO dgiLderuBio@antonmediagroup.com

n the annals of American popular music, the role of Native Americans is one that’s either been omitted or largely overlooked. That is, until the release of the documentary Rumble: The Indians That Rocked the World. Film execs Tim Johnson, Stevie Salas, Catherine Bainbridge and Alfonso Maiorana use the late rockabilly icon Link Wray, who was of Shawnee descent, as the springboard to make their case over the course of roughly 103 minutes. In the film, a wide swath of artists, ranging from Tony Bennett, George Clinton, Quincy Jones, Martin Scorsese, Steven Tyler and Taj Mahal to Robbie Robertson, Buddy Guy, Slash, Little Steven Van Zandt, Marky Ramone and Iggy Pop, testify not only to the contributions of Native Americans like Wray, but also fellow Natives jazz vocalist Mildred Bailey, Jimi Hendrix and storied session guitarist Jesse Ed Davis. The inspiration for the film evolved from a Smithsonian Museum exhibit that Salas and Johnson helped curate a decade-plus ago that was based on Salas being interviewed by musician/ historian Brian Wright-Mcleod, the author of The Encyclopedia of Native Music: More Than a Century of Recordings from Wax Cylinder to the Internet. “I met Tim Johnson one day at the Smithsonian and I started telling him this story about learning all these contributions that Natives had made from Brian Wright-Mcleod,” Salas recalled. “[Tim] freaked out and offered me a job at the Smithsonian, and I started to work with him. We created an exhibit called ‘Up Where We Belong: Natives in Popular Culture,’ which was about the subject of ‘Rumble’ with Link Wray and all the same characters in it. We opened at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., and it became the most popular exhibit they ever had. And then we opened a Smithsonian exhibit in New York City, and it ran for a year and made it four times bigger. When the exhibit wrapped, I wanted to make a film.” Having seen Reel Injun, a 2009 documentary about the history of Native American stereotypes in Hollywood that was co-produced and co-directed by Bainbridge, Salas and Johnson decided to go with Bainbridge and

Maiorana, who criss-crossed the country corralling interviews for three years starting in 2013. Wray’s ominous 1958 hit “Rumble,” with its influential use of distortion, delay, feedback and an enormous power chord, proved to be fertile ground to get the ball rolling on this project. It is the only instrumental track to ever get banned. Maiorana pointed to the ripple effect it had on an entire generation of guitarists. “When I was meeting people who knew about Link they said it was the first time someone took the guitar and started to say something with it.

There are no lyrics, but he’s saying something else that people couldn’t figure out. I think it’s the beginning of not only how the guitar changes, but how rock and roll changes. What’s amazing about that song is how it influences everybody,” Maiorana said. “Everybody can take that song and those riffs and see how the distortion and that noise plants the seeds for punk. The MC5, the pioneers of punk, were influenced by that, followed by the Stooges and The Clash. When Wayne Kramer talks about Link Wray, he goes on and on about him. Then you have The Yardbirds, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page.” Viewers will come away learning about the contributions of Bailey, who not only helped give Bing Crosby his first break, but had quite an impact on an impressionable Bennett, whose recollections of the Native American jazz singer had him glowing in the documentary. Another overlooked artist given his due is Davis, who played on a voluminous amount of recording sessions for artists ranging from Cher, John Lennon, Bob Dylan and Rod Stewart to George Harrison, Jackson Browne, Bryan Ferry and Clapton despite dying at the age of 43 due to a drug overdose. There is also a memorable moment in the film when Native American activist Pura

Fé is sitting in a room while a record by Delta Blues legend Charley Patton plays, and she seamlessly starts doing a Native chant to the song, stopping long enough to declare, “When I hear this, it’s Indian music to me.” For Salas, Rumble not only makes the case for Native Americans’ contributions to music, but to the larger picture as well. “When you look at the beginning of the Delta Blues and the music in New Orleans, what we’re really talking about is the development of North America—Canada and the United States. It wasn’t all of this or that group—it was a melting pot,” Salas said. “A lot of people took credit for things. Could we have had rock and roll if it wasn’t for the blend of the Native people, African-Americans, Scots and Irish? It really tells the story of the development of North America and music was a by-product of that.” There will be a screening of Rumble: The Indians That Rocked the World on Jan. 24 at the International House, 500 Riverside Drive, NYC. It will include a Q&A with the film’s co-director and co-writer Alfonso Maiorana. For more information, visit www. ihouse-nyc.org or call 212-316-8400. It will also be airing on PBS.

But, luckily, I didn’t have to walk too far to sample a few treats that were out of my usual cookies and cream ice cream and plain Hershey’s bar comfort zone while on the Sugartooth Tours Sweeter Than Sugar Evening Dessert Crawl. Sugartooth Tours’ newest hour and a half tour compiles some of the Meatpacking District’s hidden gems along with one well-known location for the perfect after dinner activity or pre-game for a night of fun. Each location offers a sample of a popular treat, leaving the tour taker ready to

back track once the tour is over to try out some other desserts. “One of the goals of our company is to get off the beaten path,” said co-founder Sarah Rolleston, who founded Sugartooth Tours with Allyson Tolbert in 2012. The two couldn’t find a dessert food tour in New York City, so they decided to make their own. “We pride ourselves in introducing locals and visitors to places they wouldn’t know otherwise.” Our tour began with a veil of darkness just a few blocks from Chelsea Market, a perfect stop before the tour to fill your stomach with a meal, at Li-lac Chocolates, 40 8th Ave. Our licensed tour guide, Dionna, greeted us just outside the shop, being sure

go so far as to say they barely tasted like marshmallows. Tour guests have the option to sample from more than 10 varieties of marshmallows, both boozy and non-boozy, ranging from flavors like chocolate-dipped peanut butter to bourbon. The chocolate-dipped peanut butter marshmallow tasted like a Reese’s cup if it were a pillow, while the bourbon, beautifully displayed with red and white sprinkles, actually tasted as though you were drinking a glass of bourbon. From huge ice cream cake sandwiches that may need more than one person to eat to stuffed brownies and a gigantic s’mores bar for at least 10 people, the store had such unique treats that, by the end of the tour, I was ready to head back to Sherry B to try more of her sweets. The final stop brought us to Molly’s Cupcakes, 228 Bleecker St., a shop that donates a portion of its profits to schools in the community and is inspired by the founder’s third grade teacher who would bake cupcakes for students’ birthdays. With a woodheavy design reminiscent of a school, complete with swing chairs, we customized mini cupcakes with different cake and frosting flavors for a red velvet with cream cheese frosting and decadent chocolate cake with vanilla frosting.

indulged in a cream cheese frosting, it has rarely had a stand-out cream cheese flavor, but Molly’s cupcake boasted a robust cream cheese taste atop a fluffy cake. Sugartooth Tours’ Evening Dessert Crawl is perfect for guests of all ages because of its short walks and for couples, tourists and local families because it may introduce locals to some hidden gems and tourists to the real luscious treats of New York City. Dionna explained a tour can hold a maximum of 16 guests, but, most of the time, has about two to six guests, making the tours feel more private. The Evening Dessert Crawl runs on most Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., are about 90 minutes and tickets are $44. Sugartooth Tours also offers the Sweeter Than Sugar Chelsea/West Village Dessert Tour, a Bright Light & Broadway Bites Dessert Tour and Find Heaven in Hell’s Kitchen Dessert Tour. Because Valentine’s Day is coming up, Sugartooth Tours is offering a Sweeter Than Sugar Valentines Dessert Tour Feb. 10, 11, 16 and 17 at 4 p.m. and Feb. 14 at 6 p.m. An abbreviated version, the Evening Dessert Crawl: Valentines Edition will be available Feb. 15 and 16 at 7:30 p.m. For more information and tickets, visit www.sugartoothtours.com or call 917-856-6761.

A Victorious Return Home BY CHRISTOPHER BIRSNER

n the ninth annual Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium, sophomore Jack Coan led the Wisconsin Badgers to a whopping 35-3 victory over the Miami Hurricanes. It was a nice victory in a bowl game, but it meant something more to Coan: It was his first time playing football in New York since his days in Sayville. “I was really excited,” said Coan. “When I found out I would be starting, I had like 50 people that I gave tickets to and a bunch of people I knew that bought tickets too. To be in Yankee Stadium for this game was great because I was there when I was little watching the Yankees play.” While he enjoyed watching baseball as a kid, football was a love of his from very early in his life. He started playing the sport in early elementary school with his dad being one of the coaches on his earliest team. He was a quarterback right away, and he never turned back on playing the position. “I was pretty much quarterback my whole life, which is pretty cool,” said Coan. “I like having the ball in my

hands. As a quarterback, you touch the ball almost every play and you’re in a leadership role. You got to help your team play well and keep calm. You have a big impact on the outcome of the game.” Growing up in Sayville, Coan had a lot of support from the community as it loves the local football teams. He was a star as well, winning the Boomer Esiason Award as the top quarterback in Suffolk County, the Hansen Award for Suffolk’s greatest player, as well as a few statewide and tristate awards while playing at Sayville High School. “It’s such a tight-knit community,” said Coan. “I grew up playing with pretty much the same group of kids all through the youth league and high school which was pretty special.” Coan loved the sport, but he didn’t think colleges were going to be lining up for him to come play with them. He was surprised to see a handful of colleges express interest, including some on the Division-I level. He ended up picking a faraway school with a rich history in the University of Wisconsin. “You rarely see kids from Long

Island go to Division-I so the minute colleges came and started talking to me, I knew I was going to play,” said Coan. “I picked Wisconsin because I like the school and campus. The coaching staff is filled with great guys there and they develop their players really well.” Coan just completed his second year with the program, and it was definitely his more eventful year as a Badger. He got his first official start against the Northwestern Wildcats and had a solid 158-yard outing. He also got starts against the Penn State Nittany Lions and Purdue, with his first win coming against the Boilermakers. “It was a dream come true,” said Coan. “It was always a dream to play college football and all the stuff that comes with it. To play it with all the people at home supporting me, it was really cool for me and those people as well.” The people at home would later get a chance to watch Coan play close to home, as Coan surprisingly was elevated to starter after Alex Hornibrook, the team’s starter for

most of the season, was dealing with a head injury that held him out of the Bronx showdown. Coan shed his redshirt year to play, which means he will be a junior next season instead of a sophomore for a second year. “Jack’s awesome,” Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst said in a press conference before the game. “He’s excited. And we didn’t go into this season saying we want to redshirt you. We went into this season saying we want your snaps to be meaningful.” In the game, Coan threw 11 passes, with six completions and one touchdown. He had a key score in the game, rushing for seven yards into the Badger-painted endzone to cement the game for Wisconsin. After hoisting the George M. Steinbrenner trophy, Coan reflected on what the people from his hometown mean to him. “They’ve definitely had a huge impact on me,” said Coan. “A lot of people have been rooting for me and I feel like I represent Long Island wherever I play. It was an unbelievable experience and I’m happy all my fellow Long Islanders were able to share it with me.”

“Singing with Rock Voices has helped me to take risks, follow my passions, and make deeply meaningful friendships.” -Elyse Langer-Smith, shown singing with the Northampton, MA choir

Started seven years ago in Massachusetts, Rock Voices provides a safe space for self expression and community in an increasingly disjointed world; an outlet for the soul. The mission of Rock Voices is “to heal ourselves and others through song.” Therapists often “prescribe” the group as a road back to wellness for clients who are struggling with depression and anxiety, and with good reason. There are precious few opportunities for adults to �nd community and make new friends. Rock Voices adds the healing power of music to that mix, and magic happens. Friendships are forged, community forms, and members ride the wave to lives changed for the better. The Syosset group will be directed by local performer and music educator David Goldman and will meet Thursday nights from 7-9 pm at Faith Lutheran Church, with the �rst rehearsal January ��. Enrollment continues throughout February. �rospective members can sing for up to three weeks before committing. Tuition fees each season are comparable to other classes in the arts, and scholarships are available to those who demonstrate need. Every eﬀort is made to make the choir accessible to all who want it in their lives. Curious? Go to a rehearsal and try it out. Find out if Rock Voices is what has been missing from YOUR life. (Tell your friends and family about our other brand new chapter on Tuesday nights in Brooklyn Heights, starting January 29!) Learn more and pre-register at: www.RockVoices.com

When: Thursdays, 7-9pm starting January 31 Where: Faith Lutheran Church, 231 Jackson Ave, Syosset, NY
