Going Back To His Roots Chazz Palminteri revisits one-man version of A Bronx Tale By Dave Gil de Rubio dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com
N
ot unlike fellow paisan Sylvester Stallone, Chazz Palminteri got his break telling a story he wrote that he refused to sell off unless he was directly involved in being the creative midwife. For Stallone, that tale was Rocky. For the latter, it was A Bronx Tale. Originally staged as an autobiographical one-man show by Palminteri, a handshake deal with Robert DeNiro led to a 1993 film adaptation. DeNiro directed and starred, while Palminteri penned the screenplay performed the role of gangster Sonny LoSpecchio in the movie. Fast forward to 2017 when A Bronx Tale: The Musical hit the Great White Way thanks to the involvement of show producer and ex-record company president Tommy Mottola, along with stage direction by DeNiro and Jerry Zaks, music by storied composer Alan Menken and lyrics by up-and-comer Glenn Slater. While the musical is currently playing in Chicago and on the road, Palminteri is dusting off the one-man show version and bringing it to The Paramount in Huntington. “This is the original show that I wrote in 1988 and I did in 1989,” Palminteri recalled. “They offered me millions of dollars. I had $200 in the bank and said no. Finally, [DeNiro] came to see it and said that I should play Sonny and I should write it because it’s about my life. He said he’d play my father and direct it and that we’d go partners and that’s how it happened.” The biggest difference in this iteration of A Bronx Tale is the fact that its author plays 18 different roles—young, old, male and female. It’s a demanding production that Palminteri handles by staying in shape. “I’m a bit of a fanatic. When I know that I’m about to do it, I step up a little bit and I actually rehearse on the treadmill when I do it. I set the treadmill up and read all the lines, because it’s a very physical show,” Palminteri said. “People sometimes love the one-man show more than the musical or the movie. It’s just different. Each one is different.” The decades-long critical and commercial response to A Bronx Tale has been overwhelmingly positive, largely due to the complexity of emotions

CHAZZ from page 3A and relationships at the heart of Palminteri’s trip down memory lane. Family, racial tension, coming of age and trying to parse out the differences between good and evil crop up. The story is centered on a young Italian teen growing up in the Bronx and being befriended by a ruthless mobster, much to the consternation of the boy’s father. It’s a heartfelt story Palminteri began writing out of financial necessity when he was hustling as a struggling actor and a part-time bouncer trying to make ends meet. “I wrote it back then because I ran out of money. I wasn’t going to waste my talent and I knew I had to do something that would get me noticed, so I wrote a one-man show,” Palminteri says. “I went to Thrifty Drug Store, got five yellow legal pads and then I had to figure out what the hell I was going to write about. So I wrote about that killing [I witnessed when I was a kid], because it always stayed in my head, and the relationship I had with the wise guys and my dad. I started out by writing the five-minute monologue of the killing and I did that for my theater workshop and they just freaked out. Each week I would write and on Mondays I would perform

another piece. At the end of 10 months to a year, I’d read 90 minutes of a oneman show. I did it and boom—my life exploded.”

In the two decades plus since the celluloid version of A Bronx Tale made Palminteri a household name, he’s established himself as an in-demand film and television actor and even managed to bring his oneman show to Broadway for a 2007-08 Broadway run. A creatively restless sort, the diehard Yankees fan has also become partners in Chazz Palminteri Ristorante Italiano, on E. 48th Street and Second Avenue, which is being run by Jack and Jeff Sinanaj of Empire Steak House Fame. Palminteri is a frequent presence whose favorite dishes are A Bronx Tale (black linguini with brandy sauce, clams, shrimp and lobster) and osso bucco (“the best in the city—anywhere”). “It’s a fabulous restaurant and it’s doing great,” he said with pride. “I go there a lot during the week, because I’m in the city taking meetings and I go there to eat, a lot of times on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.” Interestingly enough. A Bronx Tale has come full circle for Palminteri, whose two children are also in the performing arts. Twenty-threeyear-old Dante has acted in Orange Is the New Black and Law & Order. Seventeen-year-old Gabriella will be featured in an upcoming May production of the Bronx native’s life story, to be staged at Archbishop Stepinac High School in White Plains. Her participation in this project has proved to be a pleasant surprise for the sexagenarian actor/screenwriter. “Stepinac High School in White Plains is a very prestigious school for
the arts. So they asked Alan Menken and I if they could do A Bronx Tale for two weeks. We sold the rights for amateur theater groups and high schools, but you can’t do it until the tour is over. So we said fine, because they’re really good and we said we’d give it to them for two weeks,” he said. “It’s an all-boys school, so they have to audition girls from the outside. My daughter gets the part of my mother. Think about that. When I wrote it in 1988, I didn’t even have a wife then. Who would think that I would I write something, have a child and 30 years later that child would play my mother?” Aside from his one-man set, possibly to become a quasi-residency at The Paramount (Palminteri returns in June), and his recurring role on Modern Family as Shorty, the best friend of patriarch Jay Pritchett (Ed O’Neill), 2019 will also include a pay cable series based on late mob boss Bumpy Johnson. “My TV series is coming out in October called Godfather of Harlem with Forest Whitaker and Vincent D’Onofrio on Epix,” Palminteri said. “I’m doing the one-man show this year in a lot of different places. The show is doing really great and life is good.” Chazz Palminteri will be performing his one-man show, A Bronx Tale, on March 31 at The Paramount, 370 New York Ave., Huntington.

Form Meets Function A weekend trip to the Hudson River Valley in the new Chevy Blazer
By KiMBeRly DiJKSTRa KdiJKStra@antonmediagroup.com
O
nly a short drive away, the Hudson River Valley boasts beauty and fun all year long. On a recent sisters’ weekend away, I had the opportunity to spend time in Hyde Park, Stone Ridge, Rhinebeck and other towns in the area and can’t think of a better location for a leisurely getaway. I also had the opportunity to drive Chevy’s new Blazer and can’t think of a better car in which to explore the artsy, mountainous villages of the Hudson River Valley. Our trip began as most road trips do—by loading luggage into the car, or in this case, the stylish crossover SUV. The cargo area of the Blazer is equipped with a rail that slides forward and backward and locks in place, an ingenious functional feature.

The CIA, as it is affectionately known, is a four-year college and culinary school where the top restaurateurs of the country graduate from. The Hyde Park campus operates four public restaurants, including American Bounty (www.american bountyrestaurant.com), a contemporary farm-to-table restaurant with a focus on regional ingredients. The lunch menu features dishes that are as beautiful to the eyes as they are delicious to the taste buds. The desserts are miniature works of art on a plate. Students at the CIA get hands-on experience at the restaurants and are constantly making connections between different areas of study.

Designer Steve McCabe and his team endeavored to edge Chevy design into the future with sporty styling choices not typically seen on SUVs. The design turns heads—in a good way. Chef Bruce Mattel, senior associate dean of culinary arts at the CIA, also added to the concept of how far one can go with food design. “If you’re too avant garde with food, some people are going to be intimidated,” he said, and this principle is reflected in the dishes he serves with innovative flavor combinations, a focus on texture interplay and artful plating that enhances the dining experience. American Bounty changes its menu seasonally. There’s no excuse not to journey there quarterly to check out what new flavors they have in store.
Home Away From Home Hasbrouck House (www.hasbrouck houseny.com) has everything you could want in a weekend getaway.

Guest rooms, lofts and suites are dispersed between several buildings. Though featuring the same soothing color palette, rich furnishings, large windows, Frette linens and goose down pillows, no two rooms are alike. My favorite touches are the in-room Nespresso machines, Aesop toiletries and heated marble floors in the bathroom. During your stay, I recommend booking an appointment with one of Hasbrouck House’s massage therapists or yoga instructors in the Wellness Room. A yoga session with Pepper will give you the opportunity to check in with yourself and feel relaxed and renewed. For dining, you need look no further than Butterfield, the in-house

April Movie Previews Shazam! (PG-13)
BY CHERYL WADSWORTH editorial@antonmediagroup.com
H
aving survived the winter reasonably unscathed, spring is here with the promise of warmer, more consistent weather along with the blooming of flowers and other greenery. April brings showers, Easter, Passover and Earth Day. It also brings us a slew of new movies to get excited about. The opening weekend in April alone has three new highly anticipated movies. The following are just a few for you to choose from.
Flying into theaters on April 5 is also Shazam!, directed by David F. Sandberg and stars Zachary Levi, Djimon Hounsou, Mark Strong, Adam Brody and Asher Angel. The film is based on the DC comic of the same name and is the seventh installment from the DC universe. Foster kid Billy Batson gets swept into another realm where he is given the power to become an adult superhero by just saying the word “Shazam!” While he learns of what his powers are, he must team up with his foster brother to stop evil. A lot of fun and sure to be a hit with superhero fans like myself.
The Best of Enemies (PG-13)
On April 5, The Best of Enemies debuts based on a true story and from the book The Best of Enemies: Race and Redemption in the New South, written by Osha Gray Davidson. The movie is written and directed by Robin Bissell and stars Taraji P. Henson, Sam Rockwell, Babou Cessay, Anne Heche and Wes Bentley. Henson portrays Ann Attwater, a civil rights objector in the 1960s and ‘70s based in Durham, NC, who goes to battle with a KKK leader, C. P. Ellis (Academy Award-winner Rockwell). The unlikely duo is forced to cooperate in 1971 after a judge forces them to co-chair a community meeting lasting two weeks to deal with the school desegregation decree, which changes both their lives. Word is the movie is great, however, but the true story is much more complicated than led to believe.
Pet Sematary (R)
April 5 also brings to life Pet Sematary, directed by Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer and based on Steven King’s novel of the same name. With a screenplay by David Kajganich, the film stars John Lithgow, Jason Clarke and Amy Seimetz in the roles played by Fred Gwynne, Dale Midkiff and Denise Crosby in the original 1989 film. The film follows the Creed family who move to a rural home hoping to escape the chaos of the city. They are welcomed and educated by one of their older neighbors who tells them about the pet sematary located just up the hill from their new home. Tragedy soon strikes and Louis Creed resorts to extreme measures to protect his children, which, of course, brings impending terror. Make sure you bring someone with you for this one.
Little (PG-13)
The movie Little premieres on April 12, directed by Tina Gordon and stars Regina Hall, Justin Hartley, Marsai Martin, Tone Bell and Issa Rae. A familiar story where a woman is transformed into her younger self at the exact point in her life when she can’t cope with the stresses around her. Very amusing as she navigates her “new” younger self.
The Curse of La Llorona (R)
On April 19, The Curse of La Llorona hits theaters. It is directed by Michael Chaves in his directorial debut and stars Linda Cardellini, Raymond Cruz, Marisol Ramirez and Sean Patrick Thomas. This horror movie takes place in the early 1970s where widowed social worker Anna Garcia (Cardellini) uncovers evil while investigating one of her cases. Anna will need help to rid her of “La Llorona,” meaning “the weeping woman,” who has attached herself to Anna and will do whatever it takes to take Anna’s children away from her. A creepy thriller that will intrigue you.
Marvel’s Avengers: End Game (PG-13)
Finally, April 26 sees the much anticipated premiere of Marvel’s Avengers: End Game, debuting to the delight of just about everyone. Directed by Anthony Russo, this film stars all our beloved superheroes such as Captain Marvel (Brie Larson), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), The Wasp (Evangeline Lilly), Captain America (Chris Evans) and, of course, Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.) just to name a few. A direct sequel from 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, the final installment follows the remaining few heroes and their allies as they pick up the pieces of the aftermath of Thanos’ actions. The wait should be well worth it.

Emerson String Quartet To Perform At Staller Center
THEATER
A
multimedia theatrical creation, “Shostakovich and the Black Monk: A Russian Fantasy” featuring the Emerson String Quartet and an ensemble of actors, comes to Staller Center Main Stage on Friday, April 12 at 8 p.m. at Stony Brook University. The imaginative project, a theater and music collaboration, was created by James Glossman, director/writer, and Philip Setzer, violinist of Emerson String Quartet. Tickets are $48 and can be purchased at www.stallercenter.com or by calling 631-632-2787. “Shostakovich and the Black Monk: A Russian Fantasy” weaves the tale of the composer Dmitri Shostakovich’s 50-year quest to create an opera from Anton Chekhov’s 1894 novella, The Black Monk. It is the haunting and heroic story of

Shostakovich struggle for his sanity and survival amid the ever-changing imperatives of Stalin’s Soviet state. Chekhov, too, was struggling psychologically when he wrote his novella in the 19th century. This creation pays homage to the opera Shostakovich dreamed of writing. The Black Monk was
written and directed by James Glossman and features Richard Thomas (The Americans, The Good Wife) as Dmitri Shostakovich and Jeffrey DeMunn as Stalin (The Green Mile, The Walking Dead). Shostakovich’s B:8.7” music and Chekhov’s tale T:8.7” meet at last, interweaving S:8.7” Shostakovich’s life and music
with Anton Chekhov’s story. The Black Monk received its world premiere at the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival in Detroit, Michigan on June 17, 2017. It has been presented at Princeton University and at the Tanglewood Music Festival. —Anton Media Group

Why Are Young People L BY HARPER LEE
A
Florida has always been a logical choice for New Yorkers to call their new home. (Photo by Alex Nuñez)
editorial@antonmediagroup.com
ccording to a survey done by Long Island index just last year, Long Island is experiencing a mass exodus. To be more precise, roughly 71 percent of young adults currently residing in Long Island are determined to leave it behind in the next five years to come. This has people around the tristate area wondering why are so many young people leaving Long Island. And the answer is simple enough—no prospective jobs and not enough income to afford housing. But let’s go a step further and truly explore why this is happening. There are always different variables that turn people away from their current housing situations. And this is one of the reasons why people in the U.S. tend to relocate an average of 12 times during their lifetime. Sometimes more, sometimes less, but the fact remains that it’s happening, and doesn’t seem to be slowing down. Next exit—leaving Long Island for a better life. So, what it is that is driving Long Islanders to abandon the neighborhoods they were born and grew up in? The survey mentioned earlier shows that 59 percent of all adults in Long Island are likely to relocate in the years to come. And according to our research, the three main reasons for this are:
expensive housing and high standards, low average income and no prospect of improvement. So what is the impact of housing and living standard currently? When a recent research was conducted in Woodbury, it found that from Long Island adults between the ages of 18 and 34, as many as 41 percent still live with their parents. Why? Because they can’t afford a place of their own. There are two simple explanations: properties are too expensive to buy and there aren’t enough housing solutions for renting. The fact of the matter is that the cost of living in Long Island has exploded in the past decade. With its vicinity to NYC, commuters looking to escape the urban jungle of the Big Apple have been taking refuge in Long Island (among other places). As a result, real estate opportunities have dropped and home prices have skyrocketed. And with so many newcomers in the past couple of decades, rental properties have become scarce. The only option that young adults in Long Island have nowadays is to trade in their parent’s basement for the basement of some other stranger in the city. According to the 2018 family budget calculation done by the Economic Policy Institute, Long Island is far from affordable. In fact, the group estimates a family of two adults and two children in the Nassau/ Suffolk metro area would need to earn a combined $139,545 per year to lead a normal and comfortable

e Leaving Long Island? life. That would mean $11,629 per month. Not really what you might call an everyday income. When compared with the New York metro area, this annual budget is around $15,000 dollars higher. So, young people leaving Long Island definitely have good reasons to do so from a financial perspective. The cost of living is one of the main reasons for young people leaving Long Island. Next comes the reality check in terms of low income. Despite what we might think, the fact remains that if your annual household income in Long Island goes below six figures, you are below the line. Leaving Long Island for farther and more promising opportunities is becoming a more popular notion by the day because of this. Although there are profitable job opportunities to be found in Long Island, it’s simply not enough for young adults living there. According to the Community Development Corporation of Long Island, more than 45 percent of the population in Long Island who are working are unable to cover their basic expenses, and wages have really been stagnant. And this is one of the top three reasons why they decide to substitute the once-comfortable surroundings of Long Island with cities outside the state of New York. No promise of improvement any time soon. And so we come to the third large issue—the lack of
initiative to change the current situation. This all is a complex issue that definitely can’t be resolved overnight. However, sometimes the effort alone can be enough to change the minds of people and raise their morale. Unfortunately, this is not the case for young people leaving Long Island in search of a better future. From their feedback and comments, they’ve waited long enough and simply fail to see any movement forward. You are either one of the lucky ones in the system or among the large number of less fortunate ones. Where are Long Islanders going in search of new beginnings? Well, according to recent polls, more than a million people left the New York area in the last several years. Most of them found a potential for a better life in states such as Florida, Texas, Colorado and Oregon. Young people are searching for cities that are still developing and growing every day. And most young people leaving Long Island are able to find just that in cities such as Boca Raton, FL; Myrtle Beach, FL; Denver, CO; Houston, TX; Dallas-Fort Worth, TX; and Portland, OR. Florida has always been a logical choice for New Yorkers to call their new home, but any of these cities has shown great promise in the last decade when it comes to development and quality of life. So, it should come as no surprise that Long

INTERVIEW
Chazz Palminteri’s Favorite Flicks
The silver screen did much to inform Palminteri’s craft. Thus, the following are a trio of his favorite films.
BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO
dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com
T
o merely call Chazz Palminteri an actor is a huge disservice to the New York City native, best known for A Bronx Tale, the autobiography that started out as a one-man show back when he was broke. It was recently dusted off by Palminteri and returned to its original form, in which he plays 18 different roles. It, of course, eventually evolved into a hit 1993 film directed by, and starring Robert DeNiro (with a screenplay written by Palminteri). A couple of years ago, the former lounge singer enlisted film/theatrical composer Alan Menken to create A Bronx Tale: The New Musical, a project that debuted on Broadway in 2017 and enjoyed a run of 29 previews and 700 regular performances before closing in August 2018. It’s currently enjoying a second life as a national tour, with the most recent stop being Chicago. A longtime film lover, Palminteri is at heart a storyteller. As as someone who indulges in this kind of art form, it warms his heart to hear the effect his words have, particularly when he learned this writer’s son wound up crying during a screening in his film class after Palminteri’s character died in the movie. “I love hearing that because these kids weren’t even alive when I did the movie. They teach A Bronx Tale in a lot of colleges and high schools in film class [because] it shows how to be a morally better person,” he explained. “Everyone is worried about their kids going to Harvard and Yale, but they’re not worried about what’s going on morally. But in A Bronx Tale, in a way what we say without being preachy is that the choices you make will shape your life forever. That’s it. That’s why I think it’s stood the test of time. The one-man show was very successful and then the movie. And I always thought the musical would be the most

On The Waterfront (1954)

successful. People would ask me why I’d say that, and I think it’s because it can reach the most amount of people and it has these operatic themes to it [like] love, a father and son [relationship], [the notion of ] wasted talent and racism. I’m just so blessed that it works.” Equal parts gangster movie, drama and coming-of-age film, A Bronx Tale is also a testament to what was going on racially at the time. The resulting success, and embrace of what is essentially part of Palminteri’s life story, surprised even him. “Did I know that when I wrote it? Of course not. I just wrote it from my heart about what happened to me. You find out later that it means all these other things,” he said with a laughs.
’’
“You have to see these people cry. Guys—men cry, tough guys crying. I think everyone can relate to it because it takes them back to their childhood and the people they met and the places they’ve been in their life. And especially all the people they met that touched their lives and ended up where they are today. It just works.” Chazz Palminteri will be performing his one-man show, A Bronx Tale, on March 31 at The Paramount, 370 New York Ave., Huntington.

Regression In Children BY GRAZIELLA SIMONETTI specialsections@antonmediagroup.com
As a parent, it can be thrilling to watch your child achieve developmental milestones. After mastering a new skill, such as using the toilet or separating from a parent, it can be confusing and upsetting if your child shows signs of regression. Regression is when a child loses skills they have developed or take steps backwards in their progress. Regression can look like a child who is potty trained suddenly having accidents or wetting the bed. It can be the child who bounced excitedly into his classroom every day suddenly clinging to Mom and having difficulty separating. It can be a child wanting a bottle after they have transitioned away from needing one. Baby talk, temper tantrums, sleep regression and thumb

PARENTING MATTERS Graziella Simonetti
REGRESSION from page 1B sucking are ways in which a child may demonstrate regression. Regression can be a typical aspect of development that occurs before a developmental leap is set to happen. Life changes can also lead to regression. A child may regress after starting a new school or having a new child care provider. Divorce or a death in the family can cause regression. A pregnancy or new sibling can lead to regression, as can a child’s sickness. Even events that adults may perceive to be happy ones, such as a move, can be experienced as stress to a child which can result in regression. These events can make a child feel insecure or scared without the skills to communicate these feelings. They may regress in an attempt to get more affection or to return to a time in life that felt safer and more predictable.
Identify the issue It can be challenging for young children to express what they are feeling and why. Identify the change of behavior without judgment or punishment. “I notice that you have been wetting your pants and not using the toilet.” Help him brainstorm
possible reasons. “Could it be because you are in a new classroom and is a bigger bathroom and maybe feels a little scary?” or “is it because baby sister wears a diaper and you feel sad that Mommy changes her diaper and helps her?” Demonstrate sensitivity Let your child know that you understand how hard the change is for him. Validate his emotions, and let him know that you understand he may be feeling scared or confused. Tell him that it is normal to feel that way in a new situation and that those feelings will go away soon. Acknowledgment and reassurance can help him move passed the regression to achieve the next step developmentally. Fix what you can Spend special one on one time with your child who is having a hard time coping with a new sibling. Set up a plan with the school to ease anxiety for the child having difficulty adjusting. Set up her new bedroom with familiar items. Ask her to tell you what might make her feel better and let her be a part of the solution.
Extra TLC Offer additional affection and attention as big transitions occur. Sometimes, the regression presents as baby-like behavior as a way to communicate that the additional time and affection they got during that phase is needed again. Remember that this stage is most likely temporary and the additional physical and emotional support may help them move forward. Regression can be a typical phase of child development and usually lasts a few days or weeks. If the regression lasts longer or worsens, or is the result of significant trauma, consult your child’s doctor.

She holds an advanced certificate in parent education from Adelphi University and is a NYSPEP credentialed parenting educator.

Sunrise Day Camp Breaks Grou BY TARYN SCHOFIELD
Editorial@antonmediagroup.com
Pictured: President and CEO of Sunrise Association, Arnie Preminger, the Miller family and the Rosenberg family from the Laura Rosenberg Foundation.
Three years ago, while volunteering as a counselor at Sunrise Day Camp, a program coordinated by the Sunrise Association, which offers year-round programs, day camps and in-hospital recreational activities to children fighting cancer and their siblings free of cost, Roslynnative Max Miller made a connection with a young camper named Lane as they sat on the sidelines of the basketball court. It was then that Miller realized there was something missing from the opportunities and activities at the camp. “I was talking to him about Pokémon Go and were talking about technology,” said Miller. As a self-proclaimed “computer geek,” Miller prefers coding languages and robotics over playing sports or joining a band. “The camper said that he really wished that the camp had a computer lab so that I could teach him how to code,” explained Miller. “He was always interested in it, but he never knew an easy place to do it or where to learn it.”

ound On STEAM Shack Building
That night, Miller went home and immediately started a crowdfunding campaign to raise the funds to build a computer lab at the camp. This is how the S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) Shack came to be. “Max recognized that children are not homogeneous,” said Artie Preminger, president and CEO of the Sunrise Association. “We offered a lot of outdoor activities and sports for the campers, but not every child enjoys or is capable of those activities.” One of Miller’s goals in helping to create this program was to embrace
the differences among the campers. “One of the best things is that kids who go to this camp are all very different,” said Miller. “Some have mental or physical disabilities that prevent them from being able to go out and play sports or do physical activity. To give them something like technology could really just change their life.” Each day over the summer, an average of 100 to 125 children participate in S.T.E.A.M. activities, giving them the opportunity learn valuable skills that can translate to future careers, especially if they miss long periods of school due to their illness. “They fall behind in school, some don’t even get into college, but to give them technology, it is one of the most useful things to know,” said Miller. “To give kids who may slip through the cracks or fall behind skills that are so useful and so prevalent is really just an amazing thing.” After two years of development in a mobile classroom, Miller’s crowdfunding efforts have transformed into a program with more than 30 corporate sponsors and
more than half a million dollars raised. Now, the next step is building the S.T.E.A.M. Shack so the program can continue to grow and expand the opportunities it offers campers. On March 15, the dreams of having a S.T.E.A.M. activity center became a reality when the con-

struction team broke ground and began to carry out of this next crucial step. The Sunrise Day Camp has been around since 2006 and this new building is an enormous addition to their efforts to “bring back the joys of childhood” to children with cancer and their siblings. “This operation has been building upon itself since 2006,” said Preminger. “To get to this point is just an incredible milestone.” Family and friends of Max
Miller, members of the Sunrise Association’s executive board, Sunrise Day Camp staffers, and proud sponsors all came out to celebrate the commencement of the building’s construction and the impact the program and the camp has on their participants. “In 2006, when this program became an idea, we were the first contributor and the gateway for the program to gain campers at Sloan Kettering,” said Michael Rosenberg, a representative for the Laura Rosenberg Foundation, a major sponsor of the project. “It’s been a while since we’ve done a project and of course this is just larger than life.” The hope is that the S.T.E.A.M. Shack will be completely finished for the upcoming 2019 summer camp. Miller is mostly concerned with how happy the campers will be to have a new activity space. “To just finally have it being built is amazing,” said Miller. “I’ve been telling the campers that it’s coming and now the ground’s finally being broken and it’s happening. I’m just so excited for the campers to see it.”

New STEM Student Challenge Focuses On Water Quality Protection A new “STEM” competition has been launched that is designed to challenge middle school students to design projects to reduce nitrogen pollution on their school grounds. On Long Island, excess nitrogen from aging residential septic systems, fertilizer and stormwater runoff, and other sources has led to deteriorated surface and groundwater quality. The Long Island Water Quality Challenge was created by the Long Island Regional Planning Council, which along with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and Nassau and Suffolk Counties, is implementing the Long Island Nitrogen Action Plan, or LINAP, is a multi-year effort to reduce the amount of nitrogen entering Long Island ground and surface waters. Nitrogen is the leading cause of water quality deterioration in Long Island’s estuaries threatening ecosystem health as well as the region’s economic well-being. Excess nitrogen causes toxic algal blooms that lead to low oxygen conditions, fish kills, and degraded wetlands and marine habitats. Nitrogen
and plant varieties; and “Stormwater Treatment on School Grounds,” in which students will design projects to collect and/or treat runoff on their school grounds to help reduce pollutants. At the final competition, teams will be evaluated by a panel of experts on originality, quality of ideas, practicality, technical merit, digital and oral presentation, and team collaboration. There will be an awards ceremony where the top projects and teams will be honored. Any state accredited educational institution in Nassau and Suffolk counties serving students in grades 6, 7 and 8 is eligible.

The Do’s and Don’ts of Pet-Friendly Plants BY LUCY CRAWFORD editorial@antonmediagroup.com
C
onsidering growing a garden, but worried your dog or cat might ruin it? Relax! You can have gorgeous plants both indoors and out that are also pet-friendly, just as long as you follow this list of the do’s and don’ts of pet-friendly plants. DO choose pet-friendly species... and DON’T grow toxic plants There are hundreds of pet-safe plants in the world, and a few that can pose serious health problems. That being said, if you plant a toxic plant and assume your pet won’t bother it simply because it isn’t where he normally travels, rest assured that he will find and eat the plant. You should avoid planting anything that’s toxic no matter how far away you keep your pet. Avoid plants like daffodils, holly and aloe vera, as well as safe-to-eat but injury-inducing plants like roses. Many plants can reduce pest populations. Mint, rosemary and lavender can all help repel fleas, ticks and mosquitoes. But some of those same plants, when ingested, are dangerous for pets. Do your research and plant accordingly, avoiding toxic plants like iris and foxglove in any spots where your pet is likely to travel.
DO pay attention to your landscaping features If you are planting outside, remember that water is important for your plants just as it is for your pup. Consider adding irrigation features to help keep your plants hydrated, but remember that your pet may take the opportunity to roll under the sprinklers when they turn on. Mulch is a crucial addition to an outdoor garden, helping your plants thrive under any conditions. However, if you have dogs, you need to pay attention to what you are using as a mulch. The same rule applies if you are using a filler in a container for indoor plants. Avoid cocoa mulch, as this is toxic to dogs, and remember that wood chips or gravel can present a choking hazard if the pieces are too large. DO mind your fertilizing Fertilizing is essential for indoor and outdoor plants, and it’s especially vital that you feed grass and other nutrient-hungry plants. However, you need to pay attention to what you’re using as fertilizer. Dogs commonly eat grass and other plants, and will likely consume whatever you put on your garden to fertilize it. Use natural
fertilizers, like compost, on indoor and outdoor plants whenever possible, and keep all packages well out of reach of your pet. Speaking of fertilizing, your pet might have his own idea of how to nourish your lawn. If you notice brown spots on your lawn from your pet’s less than pleasant business, you should consider removing the waste immediately. Brown spots are easy to rectify with a bit of overseeding. While we’re on the subject, how do you keep Fido from fertilizing or peeing in your vegetable garden? Consider putting a pet-proof barrier around the vegetable plants. DON’T overthink it Remember that your pet wants to enjoy your home and lawn as much as you do. You need to provide your dog or cat with plenty of space to roam— as well as alternatives to treading over your carefully-planted flower beds or knocking over your carefully positioned containers. If you have a pet, you need to set your perfectionist tendencies

aside. Although you can build your landscape and make adaptations to it according to your pet’s behavior, you should remember that your pet won’t immediately respect the landscape you’ve toiled hard over. As a result, you should avoid planting in areas where your pet tends to walk. Plant your flowers and grasses densely, and line all of your beds with traffic-resistant ground covers to prevent any accidental squishing. Avoid planting fragile plants, or plant them in containers or in the center of densely-planted groups when possible. This will help protect them against your pet’s wandering feet. At the end of the day, remember that gardening is something to be enjoyed, regardless of whether you are planting indoors or outside. Don’t panic if a few mishaps occur—it is easy to retrain your pet and plan your garden so that you can enjoy all the benefits of being a gardener and a pet-owner at the same time.

special and wistful new collection of art has graced the walls of the Great Hall in the Castle Gould at Sands Point Preserve Conservancy. The exhibit “May We All Grow Up to Be Children,” features illustrations from the forthcoming book The Boy and the Boy King, which was co-created by George Lewis, who is the illustrator, and A.D. Lubow. The book describes a friendship and the majesty of a real boy and the ordinary feelings of a Boy King whose swords and boomerangs began to have real value only when they turned in history’s eyes from gold to art. The exhibit and the book touch upon the importance of protecting and maintaining childhood innocence and the impact it has on humanity. “Our purpose in writing this book is to make sure that children have the ability to imagine a better world than the one we’ve presented them with now,” said Lubow, co-creator of the book. “In other words, if they do grow up to be children, perhaps they’ll imagine a way for humanity to stop warring with our planet and amongst ourselves.” The themes of the book and the illustrations include the value of friendship, art, spirituality, nature and childhood imagination, all of which are central to the goals and practices of Sands Point Preserve Conservancy. “The book itself is about the very necessity to create,” said Lubow. “It’s about encouraging, not squelching, a child’s innate sense of wonder. It’s about making sure that imagination remains a child’s best friend.” The conservancy offers several classes for children and families including art and yoga classes. The hope is that the presence of the exhibit will help to further inspire visitors and participants in the afterschool programs. “The conservancy always looks for new ways to use the historic mansions and beautiful grounds of the former Guggenheim Estate,” said Beth Horn, executive director of The Sands Point Preserve Conservancy. “The refurbished Great Hall in Castle Gould is a gorgeous new exhibition and event space, and we are very happy to see all of our visitors as well as the young
students in our afterschool art and yoga classes taking the creative adventure that this exhibit inspires.” The afterschool children’s yoga class completed a session the Great Hall, surrounded by the artwork. In between poses, the participants took a lap around the exhibit, excitedly pointing at the illustrations and

building their own narrative based off what they saw in the pictures. Each individual child pointed out a different detail than the next. “This book is about wellness of spirit and consciousness,” said Lubow, “So the fact that you see children practicing yoga within the space of this beautiful hall surrounded by George’s
wondrous art, pleases us to no end.” The exhibit will be available daily from noon to 5 p.m. until May 31.

Curran Cracks Down On Parking Violators
s the spring season begins and county parks and facilities are soon to be filled with residents, visitors and various sporting leagues, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran and Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder unveil “Operation Accessibility” to crack down on Accessible Parking violators. The plan will increase monitoring and enforcement throughout the spring in county lots, starting with the county’s 30 parks, to ensure that all residents have access to the parking they deserve. As part of the crackdown, the county is also looking into their Accessible Parking signage to ensure that the spaces
are clearly identified. “Our parks see upwards of a million visitors each year and we often see an increase in Accessible Parking violations in the spring and summer seasons, leaving our neighbors in need with nowhere to park,” said Curran. “A long walk in the heat can be a dangerous circumstance for people with disabilities and make an everyday task a significant challenge.” “Assessable Parking for all of our drivers is an important quality of life issue for our residents who require a permit. We should all be mindful that even stopping for a brief period in a handicapped designated spot can cause
hardship and confusion for those who require that spot,” said Ryder. “Let’s all work together to keep these designated spots open and avoid the possibility of being issued a summons.” “I want to urge residents—do not wait in the space—you will still get ticketed and the penalties are steep—starting at $255 for a first offense,” said Curran. “I strongly encourage local municipalities to join the effort to protect and support our residents.” Approximately 11 percent of New Yorkers live with a disability and more than 50 percent of disabilities are most often not apparent. In 2018,

nearly 1,800 violations were issued for Accessible Parking offenders in Nassau County. Half of the revenue generated from these parking tickets goes directly to Nassau County’s Office of Physically Challenged for their programming while the other half goes to the Traffic Safety Board. Residents with disabilities including Laura Nugent Carter from Baldwin and Charlie Schneider from Great Neck joined the press conference to share their experiences and to urge drivers, especially delivery vehicles, not to hog the spot. —Nassau County

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 32 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.
INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND
ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are those who are addicted to the hustle, as though being busy automatically makes someone a better person. Hustle is valuable only if it’s for a meaningful purpose. So, what is the purpose? This is the question to put at the heart of every activity this week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). What you thought was a solid plan is just not very exciting to you right now. Part of the problem is that you’re in between role models. Some you’ve outgrown. Some have fallen from grace. So seek new influences. To reignite your motivation, you will need a spark of inspiration from people you admire. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Would you rather go beyond or fall short? It really doesn’t matter in which direction the error falls; both ways are missing the mark. And all of the glory comes from hitting the mark. Concentration is key. This can happen only when you’re relaxed. Also, this is going to take practice. Expect to try and try again. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Two parts of your life that are usually, for one reason or another, quite separated will intersect this week. It may be a little jarring. You don’t really think about how you’re different in various contexts of your life, but this will be interesting. You’ll garner insights about yourself and impress someone else, too. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Though you don’t usually expect people to automatically understand what you’re doing or how the interaction should go, this week it will be especially important to explain. You’ll feel like an entertainer at a child’s birthday party. “The secret number is 11. I’ll be asking later, so remember. The secret number is 11.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). To know how you come across to other people and to understand the impact you have on them requires not only self-awareness but empathy. This week, you’re particularly good at putting yourself in the other person’s shoes, and it’s how you’re able to determine and deliver what’s most needed. Enjoy success all around! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Other people have bigger problems than yours, but it doesn’t mean that your issues aren’t important. They are, in fact, the only ones you’re in charge of. So take on your troubles without apology or comparison. If you can manage to be your own No. 1 team member and fan, you’ll love how that plays out. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s a good week to skip the affirmations or anything to do with pumping yourself up to convince yourself that you’re fantastic. You know who doesn’t think much about self-esteem? People who have plenty of it. Get busy. Being so involved in your thing that you lose yourself is the most direct path to knowing your value. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). How can one person know what’s good for all the others? Yet most people have their own ideas of good and bad and get agitated by anyone who doesn’t align. You’re flexible about it this week. You realize that curiosity, tolerance and the pursuit of understanding will take you much further than judgment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Oddly enough, self-reflection often doesn’t lead to self-discovery. If you want to get to know yourself better, do more things. Interact with different kinds of people. Throw yourself into strange mixes. This will either teach you who you are or help you turn yourself into the person you want to be. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You put yourself in a position to walk among top minds, be a part of fascinating discussions and contribute to meaningful projects. You’re listening carefully. You sense that this week. it matters -- a lot. The insights people make in a moment represent a lifetime of struggle, learning and experience. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). This is your moment of impact. You can and will make a difference. It starts with seeing the difference that needs to be made. This wasn’t obvious to you before, but a vision comes together for you this week. You’ll glimpse a few different realities and understand what needs to happen to make them true.

The connections you make will lead to travel and lifestyle changes. There will be nothing more influential than the people you spend time with; therefore, you’ll choose very carefully in this regard, making sure the qualities you admire are well-represented. Over the next three months, your focus on mastering your skills will take up a good section of life -- and pass enjoyably at that. By July, you’ll have taken this in a professional direction and be putting money away for an important goal.

Curran, Nonprofit Housing Organizations Announce Resolution To 14-Year Litigation
assau County Executive Laura Curran’s Administration recently joined with nonprofit housing developer MHANY Management Inc. and New York Communities for Change, Inc. (NYCC) to announce a successful resolution of Fair Housing Act litigation that had been pending against Nassau County since 2005. “This settlement supports my Administration’s on-going efforts to develop and promote mixed-income housing opportunities for all of our residents,” said Curran. “We are committed to working alongside our non-profit and community advocate partners in this regard.” MHANY Management, Inc., et al., v. County of Nassau, E.D.N.Y. Docket No. 05-cv-2301. Under the settlement, which was approved by the Nassau County Legislature on March 11, 2019, is: a $5.4M payment to MHANY for purposes of affordable housing development; $120,000 in funds to civil
rights advocacy group NYCC for educational programs; that Nassau County will set aside one quarter of the County’s housing grants from the HOME Investment Partnerships program, totaling approximately $450,000 per year for at least three years, to be made available to for-profit and not-for-profit developers seeking to build mixed-income rental housing in high opportunity areas, such as those with ample access to transportation and high performing schools and that Nassau’s Office of Community Development will conduct a study and draft a Development and Outreach Plan examining how, where, and by whom mixed-income housing can be developed within the County. The plan will include a model zoning ordinance, which will aid and guide the independent local governments within the County’s borders—its cities, towns, and villages—as they develop zoning and
land use regulations based upon the unique circumstances of each local jurisdiction. “This is a tremendous moment for people of color in Nassau county,” said Mary Crosson, Chair of the Long Island Chapter of New York Communities for Change. “Long Island is remarkably segregated, and this is an important first step towards integrating Nassau County and reimagining what fair and integrated communities should look like. We are happy to celebrate this settlement, though this is but a first step toward solving many years of housing policies that created and continued the entrenched segregation on Long Island.” “This landmark settlement is an important step in ensuring equal access to housing opportunity for African-American and Latino families in Nassau County,” said Kristen Clarke, president and Executive Director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. “Cities
and counties across the country should look to the major policy changes and significant investments that Nassau County is making as a model for dismantling residential segregation and meeting critical affordable housing needs.” Developers and nonprofit organizations interested in developing mixed-income housing that includes units that would be affordable for low and moderate income families (i.e., those earning $92,800 or less) are encouraged to review the Office of Community Development’s page on the County’s website, or to contact that office for more information at 516-571-3662. Nassau County will continue and expand upon its efforts to encourage fair, decent, safe, and affordable housing for all of its residents, from young adults, to working class families, to seniors, and the less fortunate. —Nassau County

Make your mark At a class at Hudson Valley Pottery and Ceramics School in nearby Rhinebeck, we were given a tutorial on hand-building a mug, then unleashed on the clay and tools to bring our
individual visions to life. Though it may seem unexpected, clay is an integral part of the car-design process, with both small and large scale models. McCabe gives much credit to the clay sculptors he works with. Curves that read to the consumer’s eye as simple and sleek are actually the result of a complex collaborative process
between artists. Make an appointment at Hudson Valley Pottery (www.facebook.com/ hvpottery) for a private lesson, or open studio time if you’ve got some experience under your belt.

SmoSco@antonmediagroup.com
here’s no crying in baseball— unless you’re crying about how good the food is. For years, baseball stadiums across America have been stepping up to the plate with their culinary visions, presenting food that keeps people coming back to the ballpark no matter where their team resides in the standings. And while we all want to root for a winner, the opportunity to stuff one’s face with unbelievable grub always lessens the sting of a loss. In that spirit, the New York Mets once again invited members of the media to sample Citi Field’s 2019 menu during a day that, at least in this writer’s opinion, is the greatest press day of the year. During the visit, the organization pitched details about the 1969 Weekend set to start June 28, when the ball club will honor the 1969 “Miracle Mets” with appearances by members of that championship team and a slew of fan giveaways. Meanwhile, the Mets also revealed that the team will honor Mets great Tom Seaver by officially renaming Citi Field’s address after the ailing Mets pitcher. All good stuff, but enough with the nostalgia trip. Let’s eat. Leading off the ballpark food tour is the Lobster Nachos from Catch of the Day. It’s hard to believe that there was once a day when people thought
Pat LaFrieda steak sandwich cheese and lobster did not belong together. Luckily, thanks to creations like lobster mac n’ cheese, those days are long gone. Here, pepper jack fondue is draped over Maine lobster with cilantro-lime creme, a sprinkling of cotija cheese and a few slices of jalapeños. It’s all piled atop warm, salty nachos. The lobster is fresh, with a signature sweetness that gets a robust wallop from the peppery cheese sauce. Of all the items sampled, this one elicited thoughts of a mid-July afternoon game the most. Next, Citi Field stalwart Pat LaFrieda returns with a filet mignon steak sandwich, a heaping delivery of cheese-covered meat. The sandwich features LaFrieda’s special reserve cut

of 100 percent black angus hand-cut beef, with a generous layer of Vermont monterey jack cheese, sautéed sweet vidalia onions and beef au jus on a locally baked and toasted French baguette. The tender steak and sharp cheese are definitely hearty, but those sweet onions offer the perfect change-up. I know what you’re thinking: Did he really start an article about ballpark food with lobster and steak? Who does this upper crust elitist eater think he is? Fine, if that’s your attitude, let’s talk about hot dogs. More specifically, Haute Dogs. This purveyor of elevated franks features two dogs for the days of summer: the Bases Loaded Dog, a foot-long hot dog with cheddar

fondue, applewood smoked bacon and green onion; and the Pretzel Dog, a foot-long hot dog wrapped in a housemade artisan pretzel. While both are home runs, the Pretzel Dog is a grand slam—a big, beefy wiener wrapped in warm doughy pocket. One of the new additions to Citi Field for 2019 is the Brooklyn-based Emmy Squared, a company cranking out pizza and burgers that are as head-turning as they are delicious. The pies include the Colony Squared, with tomato sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, pickled jalapeños and a drizzle of honey; and The Emmy, with mozzarella, banana peppers, red onions and ranch sauce. As for their burger, the behemoth Le Big Matt is a monstrous

Pizza from Emmy Squared
double-stack of Pat LaFrieda grass-fed beef patties, American cheese, Sammy Sauce (a zestier take on the classic “special” sauce), greens and pickles on a pretzel bun, served with Zapp’s chips. Another product of Brooklyn, Big Mozz, makes its triumphant return to Citi Field, this time with two new—and very divergent—bites. First, there’s the Mozz Pockets. Think a grown-up’s version of the frozen Totino’s Pizza Rolls. These poppable ballpark treats are filled with mozzarella, red sauce, pecorino romano and, as the purveyor insists, “magic.” What separates these tiny pizza bites from the store-bought variety is without a doubt the crust, which is so good it completely embarrasses Mr. Totino. Big Mozz’s other item is a collaboration with cookie dough virtuosas DO, for a sweet partnership that produced a ball of flash-fried cookie dough—crispy on the outside, ooey-gooey on the inside. Oh, sweet heaven. It comes in two varieties, signature chocolate chip and rainbow cake batter. Destination Dumplings arrives for the 2019 baseball season with three diverse dumplings: The Classic, an unctuous mix of pork and chive with scallions and house soy sauce; a bright-green edamame dumpling with
citrus soy; and a slightly spicy Korean beef with chili miso and sesame seeds. Another Asian station is Daruma of Tokyo, with an assortment of fresh sushi like salmon belly, spicy tuna, fluke, and more. Another must-try item this season is Nicoletta’s meatball hero, that takes everything you love about a meatball parm and fits it onto a hamburger bunsized sesame roll. Meanwhile Arancini Bros. returns with their amazin’ balls, this time with a sausage and pepper ball, a taco ball (finally fitting a taco into ball form) and the decadent Amazin’ Cheesecake ball, filled with a strawberry cheesecake and a graham cracker outer crust. Other sweet treats at Citi Field include the aforementioned DO, Wowfulls, and Dulcinea. The full lineup of food at Citi Field is far too massive to fit here, but also be sure to check out Dan and John’s Wings, especially their new Buffalo Chicken Sandwich; ‘Lil Sweet Chick for more great chicken sandwiches; Fuku, who returns with a spicy fried chicken sandwich; Stuf’d, another new addition with the daunting stuffed Reuben sandwich; The Pizza Cupcake, serving a pizza in cupcake form; and the flavorful favorite Bash Burger by Chef Josh Capon.

The Nets Of Nassau BY CHRISTOPHER BIRSNER

cbirsner@antonmediagroup.com
aving the New York Islanders playing at Nassau Coliseum again has certainly given people nostalgia of the days when professional teams of major sports would play there on a permanent basis. But one team has been playing there since 2017 and they deserve your attention. The Long Island Nets of the NBA G League, an affiliate of the Brooklyn Nets, recently clinched a first round bye in the playoffs. They are expected to play their first ever playoff game this Friday. First-year head coach Will Weaver says he has a lot to be proud of. “The first thing that came to mind was just how gratified and happy I was for the returning players,” said Weaver. “The playoffs give you a chance to play with more people watching you. Anytime you are playing late in the year and there’s less teams competing, there’s more attention for our players who are all looking for opportunities to get jobs.” The G League is the official minor league organization of the NBA, with 27 teams stacked with plenty of young, developmental prospects that could make the jump to the majors. If a player has shown enough growth and seems capable to play at that level, NBA franchises can at anytime pull a player from their affiliate G League team. For Weaver, it’s a different experience from other coaching jobs, but he doesn’t find it too difficult. “It isn’t hard at all, in my view,” said Weaver. “If you go into it with a mindset of this being just another team, I could see where you would be disoriented. But my experience with players and coaching staffs have made it easier to see and appreciate the bigger picture. For us, it’s about helping players get better. Now, them performing well usually helps you win. But you won’t hear me talking about wins and you won’t hear players talking much about it.” Wil Weaver began his work coaching at the high school level before he got his first big opportunity to work as an assistant at the University of Texas where he worked with the likes of Kevin Durant and D.J. Augustin. He continued his assistant coach work at Sam Houston before going to Philadelphia to work under Brett Brown with the 76ers. Before taking the job with the Long Island Nets, he spent time with the Brooklyn Nets under Kenny Atkinson. “My excitement in any job is getting the chance to be a part of a bigger team,” said Weaver. “In my second season with the Nets, I worked with our two-way players which was a new thing coming

into the league and those kind of experiences had me paying attention to what was happening here on the island. So when the opportunity came about, I jumped at it. There’s nothing more exciting than working with young talent and trying to maximize their young potential.” These two-way players who have worked under Weaver this season include Theo Pinson, Alan Willaims, Mitchell Creek and Tahjere McCall. The four players combined to play 23 games on the NBA level this year. Pinson is among the most notable players who Weaver has helped developed, playing the most games of the two-way players and drastically improving his shooting from his time at the University of North Carolina.

“I think our depth is what separates us from other clubs,” said Weaver. “That’s a credit to [Sean Marks] and his management team for getting all of these great players. Long Island is a place where they can grow, improve and create opportunities for themselves.” As playoff basketball for Long Island draws closer, the focus will turn to keeping the season going for as long as possible. But for Weaver, his approach remains the same: developing these players and setting them up for success in the future. “There is no difference in our approach [in the postseason],” said Weaver. “I think a lot of success in professional life across different careers is having a relentless process-oriented mindset. Our guys have that, but if there’s any kind of encouragement I’m going to give to them, it’s going to be what we were successful with in the regular season is going to be successful in a playoff environment.” JOY DIDONATO Director of Circulation LINDA BACCOLI Director of Business Administration
