A Master Class In Political Satire HBO series wraps up seven brilliant seasons
By Dave Gil de Rubio dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com
T
he atmosphere in our nation’s capitol is one that completely reflects the notion that truth is stranger than fiction. That is, until you immerse yourself in the world of Veep, the political satire that’s been airing on HBO and is finishing up with its seventh and final season. Julia-Louis Dreyfus plays Selina Meyer, a fictional vice president (and later president) of the United States, whose vanity, manipulative nature and self-absorption are tied up in an ego-stoked drive to leave behind a legacy, all the while playing the
kinds of political games that make Washington, D.C. a real-life Game of Thrones. Aiding her is a sycophantic staff that includes Chief of Staff Amy Brookheimer (Anna Chlumsky), Director of Communications Mike McClintock (Matt Walsh), Deputy Director of Communications Dan Egan (Reid Scott), civilian personal assistant Gary Walsh (Tony Hale) and personal secretary Sue Wilson (Sufe Bradshaw). Through the seven seasons of Veep, viewers have watched Meyer go from chafing in her position as vice president to fictional POTUS Stuart Hughes before the latter resigned and Meyer was assigned the top spot. Her
own run for president results in the senate determining the outcome and Meyer’s own vice president casting the deciding vote and making her rival the victor. Last season found Meyer treading water by penning a memoir, setting up a foundation and attempting to find a presidential library before deciding to run for president again. Among the advisors added to Meyer’s staff in season two were White House Chief of Staff Ben Cafferty (Kevin Dunn) and political strategist Kent Davison (Gary Cole). Despite coming on board late in the game, Dunn and Cole were both impressed with how well-oiled the Veep cast and writers were given the various moving
parts involved with such a large ensemble cast and the challenges that came with all of this. “I was intimidated at first when I started to witness how the show was put together—I came from no kind of improvisation or sketch comedy background,” Cole admitted. “I was very unfamiliar. I wound up in a couple of movies with people who did that for a living. But I had never participated in it. It was always like, ‘Here I go.’ But because of the kind of tone that had been established already and the warmth and generosity of everyone in the cast, they knew what kind of

VEEP from page 3A tightrope people were walking on as actors for this show.” “Some actors immediately knew what was up. I was having nightmares because I was memorizing my lines. Julia and the rest told me not to memorize and that I would get it. That’s totally counter-intuitive to what you normally do,” Dunn added. “So if you’re talking about Senator Ogelthorpe or something happening with the Ways & Means Commission—those things are going to stay in. The joy was that all of a sudden they adopted us after we came into the second season. They were great and fantastic.” While Dunn was originally supposed to read for Cole’s Davison role, he instead wound up as the more acerbic Cafferty. As someone whose prior roles found him playing politicians both real (Sandy Berger in The Path To 9/11) and fictional (White House Communications Director Alan Reed in Dave), the Chicago native slipped into this new character easily. He also grew to appreciate the nuances given to his character by the series writing staff. “I like that [Cafferty] was such a mess, but that he was very good at his job. And that he, in some ways, was
Selina Meyer (Julia-Louis Dreyfus) leading her staff to mingle with constituents in Veep (Photo by Colleen Hayes/HBO) able to be a little bit more honest with Selina than the others. He was maybe the most honest with her,” Dunn said. “And that he also wasn’t just a lush. He had his own manic depression, doubts and fears. They were very judicious, but they would pop up every once in

a while. He is really messed up. I’m glad that it wasn’t him always being drunk. But he was always a guy that was usually drinking or ingesting some chemical. But they didn’t make a thing of it, because I think that just becomes the character. He was a very high-functioning alcoholic and drug addict. He was able to exist in that world and make sense of things despite being so messed up.” Cole also has a soft spot for his Davison, a cold and robotic numbers-cruncher obsessed with polling numbers who Meyer eventually comes to value despite originally disliking him. It’s also a role Cole received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for. “I’ve always liked characters that have limitations. Rigid limitations, and that’s maybe because I’m a lazy actor and then I don’t have to invent half of what I’m trying to do,” Cole said with a laugh. “What it does is make things much more specific immediately, and I enjoyed that about this character. It was also interesting to play somebody that wasn’t necessarily the majority of my personality.” Given the seamless chemistry between all the characters, regardless of who is sharing a scene, it’s easy to envision Veep being improv-driven. Instead, this kind of flow resulted from hours of rehearsal that often stretched over weekends and a kinship the cast has developed over the course of seven seasons. It’s a facet of the show both Dunn and Cole are going to miss once the last episode airs this season. “I enjoyed all of it. But what I enjoyed the most was when there
were eight, nine, 10 or 12 people in the scene. As difficult as that may have been, that was being in it,” Cole said. “I’m going to miss working with people that you really enjoy working with—year in and year out. It was never a drag going to work,” Dunn said. “The best thing of all was the ensemble. The improvisational aspect of [the show] we really worked on a lot and Julia would say we had to make dirty. The dance was how all together, we’d be able to muddy it up enough and get it all out. You asked if we improvised all of that. But we didn’t. We just knew how to make it dirty. There’s a lot of freedom to do that and be able to work with other actors I think. Just going in and attacking a scene like that. You go in on a show, do your lines and do them as well as you can, don’t step on that line—it’s much more of a technical approach. Whereas we mastered the art of dirty acting.” “When that works, it’s the satisfaction of people reacting and asking how you did it,” Cole added. “You never get tired of that,” Dunn agreed. “We did crowd scenes with all these people—you’re dependent on so much going right to get it right. There’s so much shorthand communication that if I say this, the other person should step in front for this angle, and we’ll figure out where we’ll end up. It’s choreography. It makes you a better actor, at least in yourself. The satisfaction of doing it is magnifying.” Veep airs on HBO on Sundays. Check local listings for air times.

Live Shark Encounter
Carnival Games The Empire State Fair returns to Long Island By JeNNiFeR FauCi
T
JFauci@antonmediagroup.com
he time has come once again for Long Island to turn into a fair ground. The Empire State Fair returns to Nassau Memorial Veterans Coliseum from May 3 through 19 and it will be even better than last year with the promise of new vendors, entertainment and events for kids. And hopefully, this year, the weather will hold out. “We start planning again right after the fair closes. We also do another fair at the end of June in New Jersey,” said Michele Tartaglione, the managing director for Empire State Fair. “This year, the big change is in the visibility of the location as we will be located on Hempstead Turnpike. Also new is the schedule; we’ll be open May 3 through 5, May 9-12 and then again May 16-19, which gives guests more weekends, but the same number of days as in the past to enjoy the fair.” Visitors to the fairgrounds can always expect two things: food and fun, they just have to bring friends and family. According to Tartaglione, there will be a kiddie land with more than 20 rides and thrill rides for children, tweens and adults along with games of chance and games that test skill. But the pièce de résistance to any fair is, of course, the giant Ferris wheel. “During the week-long process to set up everything, we will be featuring well over 50 vendors in food, entertainment and games,” said Tartaglione. “Everyone loves fair food, so we have the traditional fare like hot dogs, pizza, corn dogs, curly fries, sausage and peppers, falafel, zeppoles and funnel cakes. We also have a Greek stand that has been very popular over the years.” According to Tartaglione, the fair is very excited to introduce three new entertainment shows this

year: Wolves of the World, Jurassic Kingdom and a live shark encounter, all of which have been a major hit with kids and families at other fairs. “Wolves of the World is new for us this year. It’s educational and talks about wolves and how they are pack animals. The wolves will also be performing in the arena,” said Tartaglione of the event that takes place during the fair’s first weekend. “Up next
is Jurassic Kingdom. Obviously the dinosaurs aren’t real (they are animatronic puppets), but performers interact with them and kids can hold them and play with them. This show teaches kids about fossils and gives a history lesson on dinosaurs.” The last entertainment event is the live shark encounter, which occurs throughout the fair’s run. A trained diver goes into a tank and plays with sharks, educating the audience about the species. Tartaglione noted that the groups are rescue organizations that provide the animals and that this specific show is the only traveling shark show in the U.S. This year also brings the return of the educational petting zoo, live animal rides, Robert Castillo’s BMX Freestyle Team and a Paul Bunyon Lumberjack Show where professional lumberjacks show off their talents. Are you excited yet? If you plan on coming down to the fair, the general price of admission is $12 for children and adults, and children under 34 inches are admitted for free. There are also specialty offers that families can take advantage of including a rideall-rides wristband, dollar day (May 3) and Cheap Cheap Night, where wrist bands are $22. Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum is located at 1255 Hempstead Tpke., in Uniondale. For more information on dates and times, visit www. empirestatefair.com or follow @empirestatefair on social media.

Education Grows With STEM
he growing focus on STEM education (Science Technology, Engineering and Math) was reflected in the turnout and enthusiasm at the 2019 Diocesan STEM Fair. This year’s fair had 150 entries from 35 different Catholic schools in Nassau and Suffolk counties. The event, held at Holy Trinity Diocesan High School in Hicksville, is the culmination of the STEM education programs and local events at each Catholic Elementary School across the island. The event was judged by 35 judges including STEM students from both St. John the Baptist High School and Holy Trinity High School, and volunteers from Fidelis Care, Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation and faculty and administration from diocesan schools. Students also got to show their work off to Bishop John Barres, who attended the event and visited with students and families. The event featured work from students in grades five through eight and was divided into two groups, the fifth and sixth graders at Level 1 and the seventh and eighth graders at Level 2. Students were challenged to identify a challenge facing society and to suggest a solution using a combination of the academic disciplines. The students’ work was judged based on their ability to identify and research the problem, select the most promising solution, to construct a prototype and to communicate the final design and test results. Some of the year’s most common themes included solar and alternative energy solutions, maintaining cleanliness and health, and environmental and water quality. The winners at Level 1 included Alexandra DiPaola and Alessandra Mauricio of St. Rose of Lima School in Massapequa, who took first place for their project on health and exercise;

ony Award-nominated actress Jenn Colella brought Broadway talent to the Reach for a Star Luncheon on April 9, at Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury. The annual event raises awareness and vital funds for extracurricular programs and after school activities for students with severe physical disabilities at the Henry Viscardi School at The Viscardi Center. Colella performed a selection of songs, including the showstopper “Me and the Sky” from her current role in the hit musical Come from Away, to a crowd of supporters, students and staff. At the end of the set, students joined Colella on stage for a singalong and to present her with a piece of original artwork created by one of their classmates. “I had several aha moments while visiting the Henry Viscardi School,” said Colella, who toured The Viscardi Center last fall. “The first was how beautifully connected the staff and the students were. It felt like a family;
Jenn Colella is pictured with three second graders from the Henry Viscardi School. it felt like a place where people came to hang out and have a community together. The next aha moment was seeing the facility itself and all of the various activities.” Many students at the Henry Viscardi School require life-sustaining
medical support throughout the day and need accessible transportation to get to and from school, leaving few options for socialization outside of class. Every year, the Reach for a Star Luncheon aims to expand opportunities for children with disabilities to
explore interests, be independent and spend time with friends. “The programs and activities this luncheon supports are critical to our students’ social and emotional growth,” said John D. Kemp, president and CEO of The Viscardi Center. “Personally, I cannot imagine a school year that did not include wheelchair basketball, Friday Night Rec, swimming in the pool and overnight stays at our independent living house.” The Reach for a Star Luncheon included a cocktail hour, which featured more than 100 auction and raffle prizes, a sit-down lunch and live entertainment. Special guests at past luncheons have included Broadway performer Kara Lindsay (Newsies, Wicked and Beautiful: The Carole King Musical), Jennifer DiNoia, formerly Elphaba in Broadway’s Wicked; Chilina Kennedy, star of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical; and Hoda Kotb, co-anchor at NBC’s TODAY. —Submitted by The Viscardi Center

Politics Of The Past And Politics Of The Present
H
aving spent more than 30 years of my life in government, I am often asked to contrast the politics of the past with the current political climate. It is not hard to articulate the difference. The politics of yesterday was combative, but collegial. A handshake was how differences were settled and everyone kept their word. There was warmth between adversaries that is missing on today’s battlefield. And, hugging was allowed. An example of the tone of a bygone era happened to me in the past week. I was in a Manhattan restaurant having dinner with my wife Suzan, when I spotted former Republican Governor George Pataki. During our years in government, we were rarely on the same side because I, as a Democrat, was a spokesman for my party. We rose to greet each other and exchanged the warmest possible hug. A nearby diner asked aloud, “Are you guys that friendly?” This passing experience brings to mind the current attacks on former
INSIDE POLITICS Jerry Kremer
Vice President Joe Biden. There is no doubt that Joe Biden represents an era when warmth and civility were the order of the day. Back in the 1970s, Biden’s wife and child died in a terrible auto accident. I was one of many who reached out to him to express my condolences. From that time on, we had a passing relationship, mostly at fundraising events. In 1986, when I lost my wife Barbara, one of the first calls I got was from Biden who offered sincere words of comfort, followed by a number of follow-up calls. Currently Biden is under attack by some women who claim that at one
time he “invaded their space” with unwelcome gestures. None of the criticism rises to the level of claiming sexual harassment and no one has made that claim. By accident or otherwise, some of the people who have recalled these incidents are aligned with the campaign of Senator Bernie Sanders. But there is no doubt that there may be one who has an honest recollection of conduct that made her “uneasy.” If former Vice President Biden becomes a presidential candidate, his fate will rise or fall based upon the current day rules that govern political interaction. He will have to tell Americans why he can do a better job than any of the 17 other declared candidates. Based on a lifetime of public service, he will have an opportunity to tell us what his vision is for our country. Biden comes from a different era in politics, but should he run, he could turn out to be the person with the best chance to unseat the current occupant of the Oval Office.

John Platt: Folk M BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

his year marks John Platt’s golden anniversary of being on the radio. The year 1969 was when his dulcet voice debuted on the airwaves, subbing for the storied Dave Herman, who was on vacation from the shift he hosted at Philadelphia’s WMMR. While it’s quite the milestone for Platt, the last year has been a trying one as the Pennsylvania native suffered a stroke over the summer. While he was planning to retire from working full-time at 90.7, WFUV, a place he’s called home for the past 22 years, this unexpected medical situation altered his plans quite a bit. “I had a stroke in the middle of the summer. I was on vacation in Wyoming and they airlifted me to a hospital in Idaho Falls, where they had a good neurology department. I was in the hospital for three weeks. I was really lucky that I had great medical care there. And then I had really great out-patient therapy at Glen Cove Hospital,” he recalled over coffee at Manhasset’s Landmark Diner. “I was really lucky, it was a major stroke, but it could have been worse. The combination of doctors, nurses, therapists and the wishes of people was wonderful. I was so blown away, and I still am—from the kinds of responses I got from people. The stroke was a life-changing and life-affirming kind of event. I understood what I mean to people. Not just me, but what I stand for within the folk community. How important it is to have somebody involved with what the folk community is doing. It really validated what I wanted to do in life.” While he wound up segueing from medical leave to retirement, Platt wasn’t quite ready to go back and do his Sunday Supper show yet. As a result, he was put on hiatus before returning early last month. With help from Sheila, his wife of nearly 47 years, Platt has made a remarkable recovery. He walks with the slightest hitch in his gait and his speech is seemingly unaffected. Aside from admitting he’s not as fluid in ad-libbing as quickly as he once was, Platt seems a man reborn. His recovery and rehabilitation gave him time to think about retirement. What he came up with is the nonprofit New Folk Initiative. Part of what he’s done is launch www.newfolk.org, a website he has high hopes for. “I want to make [www.newfolk. org] a hub for information., he said. “I don’t know if I’m going to try and
make it a big organization so much as a hub for information—being able to list some concerts every week and know that people can find it easily. And archives they might not be able to find otherwise. And personally be able to put in blog posts about stuff that I think people might be interested in, like the Joni 75 concert. I’m hoping that it’ll be a destination for people interested in the music in a general way.” Platt has already hit the ground running in celebrating a life as a professional broadcaster that’s seen him go from Philadelphia, to Chicago for a decade, before coming to New York in 1979. He’s edited together three shows (two of which aired on April 7 and 14 and another slated for April 21—all will be archived on his website) of his favorite interviews including Steve Goodman, John Prine, John Lennon, Randy Newman, Lowell George, Tom Waits, Bonnie Raitt, Leon Russell, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris and more.

Back To The Future
Nissan brings nostalgia to New York International Auto Show BY JOSEPH WOLKIN
us in that way. The advance of the Z, along with the launch of racing programs in the United States, we started winning championships right around the turn of the decade in 1969, ‘70 and ‘72. We started winning a lot of championships and got on the map as a performance car company. That led to pickup trucks and other vehicles. We were known around the world as Nissan, but when Datsun came to the United States, all of a sudden, we had this viable sports car that was affordable and fun to drive.
jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com
It’s slick. It’s fast. It’s small. It’s everything drivers want while cruising around Long Island. What’s better than being different? That’s exactly what one Japanese auto maker set out to achieve. It worked. Datsun, the American version of Nissan in the late-1960s to early 1970s, took the nation’s streets by storm. It all started with the 1969 launch of the Z series in New York City This sports coupe was cheap compared to other international sports cars. Its 240Z was a highlight amongst car collectors, and it still is to this day. The Datsun was rare, selling only 16,215 in America in 1970 and 33,684 a year later, according to Hagerty, a classic car valuation organization. And that made it even more popular. Everyone and their neighbor wanted a Datsun and for good reason. The car took over the sports car racing world, winning dozens of motor sports championships, as far away as Australia to at home in the United States. Fifty years later, Nissan is celebrating its rich history in America, starting with the 240Z. At the New York International Auto Show, Nissan will feature its heritage collection—The 1970 240Z, 1990 Skyline GT-R Gr. A JTC Calsonic, 1972 Skyline 2000GT-R and the 1995 NISMO GT-R LM road car—giving people a blast from the past. Steve Yaeger, manager of heritage communications at Nissan Motor Company, spoke with Long Island Weekly, discussing the reasons why Nissan opted to put these cars on
Steve Yaeger display, as well as what it meant for the auto maker two decades after World War II and more.
Q
How did Nissan come up with the idea to go back in time for the New York International Auto Show?
A
It’s New York and 50 years ago in New York, we introduced the 240Z, which revolutionized people’s thoughts about Japanese cars. Up
until that time, it was economy cars that were fun to drive and very practical. They were lightweight, economical and all of those things that we used to associate with Japanese manufacturers. Nissan—or Datsun in the United States—came out with the 240Z, which was a huge success. From that success in New York in 1969, we changed the face and brand of Datsun from that day forward as a performance brand. Even though we had good performance cars prior to that, it put us on the map in the United States.
Q
It’s 50 years later and now, Nissan is a household brand for many American families. How do you think that launch helped Nissan/Datsun grow in America?
A
It raised our visibility in terms of our portfolio. We weren’t just a four-door economy car company anymore. Even though we had made sports cars—we made a roadster prior to that—we didn’t sell it in large numbers, so people didn’t think of
Q A
Why was it called Datsun and not Nissan?
The company itself in Yokohama was always Nissan Motor Company. But marketing companies look at how names are perceived, and it was too close to Nippon (a paint brand). The decision was made in the late-’50s to early ’60s. They probably felt it had a little more cache as Datsun, and that lasted until 1983. They decided to bring Nissan worldwide.
Q A
What is the goal in bringing back these cars?
I think it’s an acknowledgment of our performance heritage. With 50 years of not only the 240Z, which is well-known to the American public, but it’s also the 50th anniversary of the GT-R. Until 2007, the GT-R was known to video gamers. Worldwide, the GT-R had a huge following and a great racing history. When we brought the R-35, which is the current GT-R that’s sold in the United States, it pulled it all together. We have special editions to commemorate the 50th anniversary. We’re showing some of the GT-R

History Of Racing On L BY JOSEPH WOLKIN
jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com
(Photo by Robert R. Clock)
Long Island’s history of motor sports is more than a century old. It includes the first-ever international road race, dating back to 1904. That race came together thanks to William K. Vanderbilt Jr., one of the first people to create an actual automobile racing series. It was an event that took up a chunk of Nassau County, too, spanning from Jericho Turnpike to MassapequaHicksville Road, as well as
Hempstead-Bethpage Turnpike, according to Howard Kroplick, founder of www.VanderbiltCupRaces.com. “From 1904 to 1910, the center of U.S. racing was right here on Long Island,” Kroplick said. “The Vanderbilt Cup races were it. They were drawing crowds of up to 300,000 people.” The 30.24-mile course used up public roads, lasting for 10 laps. There were lengthy turns in Jericho, Plainedge and Queens. This would mark the beginning of Long Island’s racing endeavors. As motor sports expanded across the country, the island was no different. Racetracks developed
across Nassau and Suffolk counties, featuring several different forms of racing. Racing’s best drivers competed on Long Island. Highlighted by NASCAR’s all-time wins leader Richard Petty, Hall of Fame racer David Pearson to Bobby Allison, Long Island hosted some amazing racers. Freeport Speedway, a .2-mile oval, was one of Nassau County’s most popular venues, but shut down in 1983. Likewise for Islip Speedway, which closed a year after Freeport. Bridgehampton in Suffolk County also played host to a racetrack, known as The Bridge, a 2.85-mile road course. At one point, there were

n Long Island about 40 racetracks on the island. Islip and The Bridge played host to the NASCAR Grand National Series for a combined 10 events (four at The Bridge and six at Islip) from 1958-71. Petty won three of those contests, with Allison winning two of them. Islip is considered to be the shortest track to ever hold a NASCAR race, and dozens of Trans-Am races were run at The Bridge, several being won by legends Mark Donohue and George Follmer. Riverhead Raceway, built in 1949, is the last remaining racetrack on the island. This .25-mile track hosts weekly
Saturday night events, partnering with the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series and Whelen Modified Series to receive some national spotlight in the racing world. Besides the two modified divisions, Riverhead also hosts the INEX Legends national qualifier, NEMA midgets, enduro car races, demolition derby, school bus figure eights and demolitions, as well as monster trucks. The most successful racer out of Long Island is Andy Lally, who’s competed in hundreds of stock The 1912 Vanderbilt Cup race car and sports car contests. The prepares to take the green flag.

the Year award. He’s also won three Rolex Grand-Am Sports Car Series (now known as IMSA) championships. Lally has won five Rolex 24 at Daytona contests, considered to be one of the most prestigious events in sports car racing. He also competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans twice (2005-06), finishing third in the latter. In 2019, Long Island’s racing history remains strong. Riverhead Raceway was purchased by new owners a few years ago, redoing the entire facility to make sure racing stays on Long Island for years to come.

Car-Shopping Tips For Students And Grads With the buzz around the auto show highlighting the newest hotrods for the year, there are bound to be eager teens itching to get a new ride of their own. College is a time when many young people buy their first cars, but with the rising cost of a degree, students and their families will want to ensure they are getting a good value on vehicle purchases. Here are some financially smart ways to get more bang for your buck. Go certified pre-owned The last thing busy college students need is to sink time and money into regularly fixing a clunker. Rather than purchase a standard used car with an unknown history, consider a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle. CPOs are often a safer bet, as they come with a warranty and have gone through a multipoint inspection to ensure quality. Some contracts even include 24/7 roadside assistance. Seek special deals You’ll want to get around campus
as standard, including a connected infotainment system, rear-view camera, park distance control, a dual-pane panoramic moonroof and heated seats. Factor in other costs Remember, the cost of maintaining a car also includes auto insurance. Take this into consideration when determining what you can afford. You can stretch your budget with a bit of comparison shopping and by looking into discounts that suit your lifestyle. For example, some policies offer breaks for safe driving, good grades, low mileage, community service participation and more. or commute to your first job in style, so look out for special deals and programs offered to students that can help you find a fun, modern car with all the latest safety and technology features at an affordable price. For example, MINI USA is offering the 2019 MINI Oxford Edition exclusively to college students and recent graduates. This includes current
full- and part-time students of any two- or four-year accredited college or university, any recent college graduates within 12 months of their graduation, as well as students enrolled in post-bachelor’s degree programs, such as graduate school, law school or medical school. For no additional cost, this edition offers $6,900 worth of optional equipment
Buying a car while paying for college or settling into a first job may sound overwhelming, but by doing a little research and keeping your options open, there are many ways to affordably secure and maintain a great car. —Courtesy of StatePoint Media Inc.

a two-part rebroadcast centered on the upcoming May 3 centennial of the late Pete Seeger’s birth slated to air on April 28 and May 5. “The first time I actually interviewed Pete Seeger was around ’99 for Where Have All the Flowers Gone: The Songs of Pete Seeger. I had Pete and Jim Musselman, who was the owner of Appleseed Records, come in together to WFUV and talk,” Platt recalled. “Pete was always most interested in talking about the songs rather than talking about him. He’d talk about Woody Guthrie and what he learned from him. He said Woody had the gift of simplicity. Any genius could make it hard, but Woody could make it easy. He confessed that the first time he heard, ‘This Land Is Your Land,’ he didn’t think it was one of Woody’s better efforts because it was so simple. But the schoolchildren got it.” Platt shows no signs of slowing down. In addition to his weekly radio show and the website, he hosts On Your Radar, a monthly showcase for three emerging artists at Manhattan’s Rockwood Music Hall. He is also heavily involved with being called upon to interview artists at a series that recently launched at the Port Washington Library called Inside the Musician’s Mind, that’s already found him querying the likes of Nellie McKay
and set to interview longtime friend Susan Werner on June 1. Going on the air to connect people continues to be a major muse for Platt and is reflected on a pair of Spotify playlists he’s dubbed Compassion and Commitment. “Radio can be that kind of tribal thing in a positive way. Of course, anybody who was listening to WNEW in 1980 and Vin Scelsa got on the air—that was how people got through [John Lennon’s death] then. After 9/11, the whole staff at WFUV got on board with that,” Platt pointed out. “That’s why I’ve made a vow, after 2017, to play a few songs of passion and commitment every program—just a couple. It could be something like ‘Get Together, ‘This Land Is Your Land’ or ‘If I Had a Hammer.’ But it could be a newer song that somebody had written for this moment. Not to trash what’s happening politically, but to make a case for what we can be and to appeal to our better angels.” John Platt hosts Sunday Supper on Sundays from 5 to 6 p.m. on 90.7, WFUV.

Long Island, State Officials Propose Property Tax Exemptions For Military
S
tate Senator John Brooks and Hempstead Town Supervisor Laura Gillen recently held a press conference with dozens of local veterans to speak about a state bill that would allow any municipality to adopt tax exemptions for active duty personnel. Bill S2930A, written and sponsored by Brooks, would also allow for additional exemptions to any service members currently deployed in combat zones such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. If passed in this year’s legislative session, the bill would take effect in January 2020 and would include 15 percent ($12,000 max) property tax exemption of the assessed value for active duty service members, which is the amount provided to veterans under the Alternate Veterans Exemption RPL Sec. 458-a) and an additional 10 percent ($8,000) property tax exemption of the assessed value for active duty service members engaged (or engaged within the last year) in
an Active Combat Zone, that is the amount provided to veterans under the Alternate Veterans Exemption who served in a qualifying conflict RPL Sec. 458-a). Active Combat Zone is defined as areas designated by an executive order from the President of
said Brooks. “This bill recognizes that those who volunteer to serve our country should be afforded benefits in recognition of their service, and willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice for their country.” “Long Island has the second-largest veteran population in the entire United States, with hundreds of resident’s right here in the Town of Hempstead, America’s largest township, who are currently serving and fighting for our country,” added Gillen. “It’s about time we start fighting for those who are fighting for us.” New York has more than 20,000 active duty military personnel and nearly 30,000 reserve troops that can be activated at any time. Long Island alone has the second-largest veteran population in the United States, with hundreds of resident homeowners from the Town of Hempstead who are currently serving their country abroad in uniform. —Anton Media Group

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 28 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.
INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND On the road
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your sense of people will be partly correct and partly biased. No one can help being biased, as it’s a function of the way the human brain processes and learns. However, it’s the responsibility of an evolved human to actively overcome biases. Your quest for harmony and truth improves an experience for all. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Analytical thinking will be your forte. You’ll dive into the details. As far as you’re concerned, there’s no such thing as an overexplained concept. Others splash around in the shallows while you pursue the deeply essential and meaningful. Enthralled by mental stimulation, you’ll be excellent company to yourself.
Solution: 28 Letters
WORD FIND
This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direction but always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 28 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.
On the road
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Most of the week you’ll do what you want, but at some point you’ll find that you can’t. Whether it’s a rut or a trap, the answer is the same -- wiggle. Wiggling either teaches you where you’re pinned, or it liberates you without you even needing to know. Don’t think about it; just move however you can and get free. CANCER (June 22-July 22). To change the world you have to change yourself. But you can’t change yourself without doing something in the world. You can read a book, take a course or get a mentor, but it’s still theoretical knowledge until you take action. This week brings your action opportunity and the courage to seize it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People think it’s normal to have an idea and then express it, or experience extreme clarity and then talk about it. This isn’t the usual way though. Express first, and then you get the clarity. Probably, you won’t know what you think until you hear it in a conversation or see it in writing. Start communicating and you’ll learn a lot. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What bothers you can be sorted into one of two categories: things you have control over and things you don’t. Dare to disregard all that falls into the “no control” category. If you can’t possibly solve it, then it’s not your problem. Focus on what you can solve and you’ll have a terrifically productive and joyful week. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have something to say. Your message is more than the words you use to get it across. The feeling is what really gets to people. Think of the emotion as an ocean, and the words are just boats bobbing on the surface. Tap into the underlying emotion and share it, and then you’ll be a really effective communicator. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). What would you do for a loved one experiencing hard times? How would you help a loved one celebrate good times? What’s your approach to a loved one being a little bit needy? Whatever these answers are, apply them to your relationship with yourself. It’s the level of attention and care you deserve. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s some confusion about what needs to be accomplished, how and by whom. Chances are, you’ve given yourself too much to do and are experiencing the requisite overwhelm. So just change it. Move the deadline, halve the list, delegate. Self-compassion is the most important value to uphold here. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There used to be such a thing as “off the record,” but that’s all over now. Said “record” is always just a smartphone tap away. Knowing they might be recorded at any moment often makes people behave better, but sometimes it makes them behave worse. Matters of publicity and privacy impact this week’s action. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Whether you’re on the giving or receiving end of a compliment, praise can feel embarrassing this week. Acknowledgments feel like a strange exercise in ego-gratification or an exhausting test of eloquence. Step back, shake it off, lighten up, change the subject, do what you can to get back to an easy social flow. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Sometimes you prefer to be stoic, mysterious and emotionally cool, even though you know it’s just to protect your ego. Maybe you’re not even sure how you really feel. It’s safe and healthy to explore such things this week. Emotions, acknowledged and expressed, lead to a greater sense of well-being.

THOUGHT GALLERY Consider these recommendations for upcoming talks, readings and more in and around New York City: Film Screening: Loving Vincent Friday, April 19, 6 p.m. Parrish Art Museum 279 Montauk Hwy., Water Mill 631-283-2118 www.parrishart.org The world’s first fully oil-painted feature film tells the story of van Gogh’s
life and death through his paintings and their subjects. A masterpiece of animation itself, the film features 65,000 hand-painted frames ($15). Film Screening: The Tale of the Princess Kaguya Wednesday, April 24, 6 p.m. Hofstra University Museum of Art, Joan and Donald E. Axinn Library 123 Hofstra Blvd., Hempstead 516-463-6600 www.hofstra.edu
Catch a screening of an Oscarnominated animated film from 2013 that draws on a centuries-old Japanese folktale. The movie will be introduced by Rodney F. Hill, PhD, associate professor of film, Department of Radio, Television, Film, Hofstra University, and is presented in conjunction with the new exhibition Inspiration: Japanese Woodblock Prints ($7). Just Announced: David Epstein in Conversation with Malcolm Gladwell Thursday, May 30, 8 p.m. 92nd Street Y 1395 Lexington Ave. 212-415-5500 www.92y.org
You would think that a narrow focus, applied early, would be the most certain path to success. Best-selling author David Epstein says otherwise. His forthcoming book, Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, makes a case for cross-disciplinary intelligence, which allows for greater agility, and speeds connections that the specialists miss. Epstein will be in conversation with Malcolm Gladwell, encouraging failure, quitting and the cultivation of inefficiency ($40).

Twist And Shout Philly Pretzel Factory & the historic snack By STeve MoSCo SmoSco@antonmediagroup.com

hen National Pretzel Day rolls around on April 26, how are you going to celebrate? Are you going to dive into a bag of Rold Gold or pantomime smoking a cigar using a Bachman pretzel rod? There is no wrong way to eat a pretzel, and that’s remained true for the literally thousands of years these twisted treats have been in existence. In fact, it’s hard to imagine our lives without some form of pretzel taking up residence in our snack cabinet.
A Not-So-Twisted History
The story of the pretzel dates back to the 600s, when an unnamed Italian monk baked strips of dough that were shaped to resemble a person crossing their arms in prayer. According to the anecdotal evidence from The History of Science and Technology, this monk would give these treats, called “pretiolas” or “little rewards,” to youngsters who were able to memorize prayers. Of course, there is no actual documented evidence confirming this, but let’s not allow facts to get in the way of a good story. However, the pretzel as we know

it first appeared in a German baker’s guide in the year 1111. Not long after that, in 1185, an unmistakable image of a pretzel appeared in an abbey’s manuscript in Germany. On the golden, pretzel-studded shores of America, the first commercial pretzel bakery opened in 1861 in Lititz, PA, about 80 miles west of Philadelphia. And thus began the enduring tradition of the “Philly Pretzel.” This soft version of the snack was almost instantly a popular pushcart item, eventually making its way to New York where, as we know, street vendors are more plentiful than mailboxes.
The Modern Pretzel & Philly Pretzel Factory
Germany and America most likely lead the way in the pretzel world, with both Oktoberfest and beer in general helping to fill pretzel bowls from here to Munich. Here in America, we cover them in salt and pair them with dips like melted cheese and a variety of mustards. Meanwhile, brick-and-mortar pretzel purveyors have appeared, taking the street vendor traditional to new heights. Franklin Square’s Michael Caiazzo was working for his father’s plumbing company before deciding to twist into the pretzel industry, becoming a manager at Philly Pretzel Factory in his hometown, where his dad Anthony is the franchisee. “It seemed like a good idea,” said Caiazzo, as he
pulled full-sized pretzels and bite-sized versions called “rivets” out of a giant, rotating oven. “It’s still a good idea. It smells much better in here.” And that’s no lie. Walking up to the door at the Philly Pretzel Factory at 197 Franklin Ave., the unmistakable aroma of freshly baked pretzels hits you square in the nose, travels to your brain and instantly forces the word “pretzel” from your breathless mouth. Philly Pretzel Factory has locations across the country, and is growing on Long Island, with locations in Franklin Square, Bellmore, Massapequa and more planned in other towns including Syosset. The stores serve factory-fresh, Philly-style soft, warm, twisted pretzels, just as delicious dipped in melted cheese, or in one of the Factory’s array of mustards. Or if the pure flavor of pretzel is prefered, Philly Pretzel Factory’s creations are so lusciously doughy, so perfectly salted, that dip isn’t an absolute necessity. The full menu features those traditional Philadelphia pretzels, and also includes pretzel twists, mini pretzels, rivets, hot dog-stuffed pretzels, spicy sausage pretzels, cheesesteak-filled pretzels, a pepperoni pizza/pretzel hybrid bubbling with melty mozzarella, along with the sweet-leaning cinnamon twists, a local favorite. Philly Pretzel Factory also bottles their own mustards, with options offered including classic yellow, spicy brown, super hot and honey mustard, along with sweet dips like cinnamon and butter cream, as well as cheddar cheese and slightly spicy nacho cheese.
Tearing apart and devouring a salty pretzel at Philly Pretzel Factory, it’s immediately apparent what separates this company from the pretzel chains that dot malls across Long Island—where those chains use some kind of chemical-like butter oils to make their customers into mindless grease-crazed maniacs, Philly Pretzel Factory instead uses the comforting approach of a neighborhood bakery. That illuminating smell is pure, unadulterated fresh-baked pretzels— that, and that alone, is enticing enough to get patrons in the door. “It’s simple pretzels. But they’re fresh so they are better than any pretzel you’ve ever eaten,” said Caiazzo, who starts his day baking at 6:30 a.m. in order to have plenty ready to go when the doors open for business at 8 a.m. “And that smell coming from the oven, there’s nothing better.” Philly Pretzel Factory sells their full-sized pretzels in escalating bundles at very fair prices. The “Crowd Pleaser” box includes 25 pretzels at only $18, and it includes a bottle of mustard. You can even order 100 pretzels for $48. Meanwhile, their party trays are some of their most popular orders. These include rivets, mini pretzels, seasoned pretzel rods or a combination of mini hot dog-stuffed pretzels and rivets. Philly Pretzel Factory, 195 Franklin Ave., Franklin Square, 516-407-3300. To find more locations, including Bellmore, Massapequa and other locations on the island, visit www.phillypretzelfactory.com.

Sammy’s Legacy
Documentary captures complexity of late entertainer By Dave Gil De RuBio dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com
W
hen Sammy Davis Jr. drew his last breath at the age of 64 on March 16, 1990, he’d spent an astonishing 61 of those years performing for fans across the world. Credit that to the fact that his father, Sammy Davis Sr., put him on the vaudeville stage at the tender age of 3, making him a member of the Will Mastin Trio in the process. The younger Davis’ career origins and the fascinating life he lived are all explored in Sammy Davis, Jr.: I’ve Gotta Be Me, the latest installment of
the American Masters PBS series. Directed by Samuel D. Pollard (Two Trains Runnin’; ACORN and the Firestorm), this 100-minute documentary holds a mirror up to the complexity of Davis’ life as a famous African-American making his way through a world shifting through times of racial injustice and civil rights struggles. Pollard features footage from throughout his subject’s life, starting with Davis’ film debut as the 7-year-old title character in the 1933 film short Rufus Jones for President. Even at that young age, the Harlem native’s effusive personality and dancing chops only hint at the heights

he’d reach later in life. While he was protected from the realities of racism by his father and Mastin, an 18-yearold Davis discovered the hard truth when he served in the United States Army during World War II. Beatings at the hands of his fellow white soldiers were a reality. An anecdote he shared in an archived interview centered on his winning a fistfight with a bully. It was no victory though, after his tormentor used a racial slur and said that Davis was still a loser due to the color of his skin. It was moments like this when the entertainer felt ramping up his considerable multifaceted talents would force people to love him. And to that end, Davis excelled, mastering several instruments, regaling audiences with myriad impressions and becoming an accomplished singer. But it was his dancing that truly entranced, as evidenced by the footage from shows he performed in throughout his career, right up to a Motown special shot months before his death, when the late Gregory Hines cajoled him to the stage to engage in a bit of soft shoe. For this project, Pollard secured interviews with a number of luminaries, including Billy Crystal, Norman Lear, Jerry Lewis, Whoopi Goldberg and Kim Novak. Along with never-before-seen photographs from Davis’ vast personal collection and footage of his performances, with and without his fellow Rat Packers, the complexities of Davis’ life are explored. His
literal and figurative embrace of Richard Nixon during a particularly volatile period in history is better understood when put in the context that John F. Kennedy uninvited Davis to his 1960 inauguration due to the entertainer’s recent marriage to white Swedish actress May Britt. Deepening the snub was the fact that close friend Frank Sinatra, who was hosting a huge fundraising gala the day before Kennedy’s inauguration, didn’t stand up for him, which devastated Davis. While Davis was a tireless champion of civil rights, even close friend Harry Belafonte pointed out, “His commitment was never fully recognized historically.” Despite all this, Davis was insecure, which goes back to the fact that he never attended school due to his commitments performing as part of the Will Mastin Trio. The dichotomy of Davis being a self-described “one-eyed Negro Jew” was perfectly reflected in footage of him appearing before a crowd of black activists defending himself for the aforementioned Nixon embrace. He stated, “Disagree if you will with my politics—good—but I will not allow anyone to take away the fact that I am black” before winning attendees over with a rendition of “I’ve Gotta Be Me” that brought them to their feet. The DVD is rounded out by the additional special features “Being Black in America,” “Persona,” “Sammy’s Funeral” and “Star.”

Dissecting The NFL Draft By CHRiSToPHeR BiRSNeR

T
he NFL Draft is a little more than a week away and there’s plenty of discussion still left to be had before teams are put on the clock. Draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah will be leading these discussions during the three-day event on NFL Network as he is taking over the lead analyst role from long-time draft guru Mike Mayock, who left the network to be the Oakland Raiders general manager. “It’s been fun,” said Jeremiah. “It’s not too much different in terms of my preparation because I was watching all of these kids in my previous role. Some of the things for the actual draft day production, like directing and putting together the X-O tapes, and going to pro days is different. But it’s been a lot of fun.” Once again, the New York Giants and the New York Jets will be selecting in the Top 10 and will have a chance to drastically change their franchise by drafting star players. Jeremiah has looked at both of these teams and has his thoughts as to what each team should do when they’re ready to pick.

If they go quarterback at the sixth pick, Jeremiah thinks the team should go edge rusher with the 17th pick. Options may include Mississippi State’s Montez Sweat, Clemson’s Clelin Ferrell and Florida State’s Brian Burns, all of whom Jeremiah believes will help the team off the edge. Offensive line and wide receiver should also be in the Giants plans, according to him.
New York Giants The Giants have already had an eventful offseason, trading star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and defensive end Olivier Vernon to the Cleveland Browns for guard Kevin Zeitler, safety Jabrill Peppers, and picks in the first and third rounds of the draft. While the team is lacking depth at many positions, Jeremiah feels they need to look at the future gunslinger of the franchise. “They need to come away with a quarterback,” said Jeremiah. “When you have an aging quarterback and you have two top 10 draft picks over two years, its hard to justify not picking up a replacement during that time.” Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins and Missouri’s Drew Lock are among the highly coveted quarterbacks that could be available at six.

New York Jets thinks that the team needs to take a quarterback and not wait another year, despite 2020 looking enticing for quarterbacks. “It’s easy to say you’re going to wait until next year, but you just don’t know where you are going to be picking and whose going to be there, so its hard to do that,” said Jeremiah. “I just think their biggest mistake was not taking a quarterback last year. To go two years in a row, I just don’t know how you do that.”

Unlike the Giants, the Jets have their quarterback of the future in Sam Darnold after picking him third overall in last year’s draft. Now at third overall again, the Jets will look to fill a long-time need in pass rusher. “I would pick someone like [Alabama’s] Quinnen Williams at three,” said Jeremiah. “Pair him with [defensive end] Leonard Williams and try to get after people inside-out. They just got to get a pass rusher. They are desperate for one.”
DAVE GIL DE RUBIO Editor STEVE MOSCO Contributing Editor ALEX NUÑEZ Art Director BARBARA BARNETT Lead Page Designer ROBIN CARTER Director of Production IRIS PICONE Director of Operations
The draft is loaded with defensive line talent, from Kentucky’s Josh Allen to Michigan’s Rashan Gary. Jeremiah could see the team taking Houston’s Ed Oliver high, but thinks the chances of that happening are relatively slim. Jeremiah also believes the Jets should look at getting a center, but that they should do so by trading back in the first round, acquiring more draft capital and taking N.C. State’s Garrett Bradbury. He also believes the team will explore options at other parts of the offensive line and cornerback. The question remains if the Jets will be able to trade back. “I think they are really interested in doing it, but I don’t think they are going to find a partner,” said Jeremiah. “I don’t know who’s coming up. There’s always a chance that somebody is after a quarterback and maybe worried about the Raiders, but I don’t see that being the case.” The NFL Network will air live coverage of the draft from April 25 to 27.
