A Visit To Mineola Middle School’s ‘Fab Lab’

Fabrication and design lessons are just part of the picture

JANET BURNS

On a recent Friday afternoon, Mineola Middle School hosted Anton Media Group for a visit to the school’s Fab Lab, or fabrication laboratory, as well as a tour of the facility and recent projects by some of the program’s biggest fans.

After an introductory chat with Principal Amy Trojanowski, nine middle-schoolers demonstrated their latest projects for this reporter, and also helped show off the stateof-the-art machines and techniques they use to bring their creative visions into reality (with the help and guidance of beloved Fab Lab teacher Adrianna Guidetti).

As Trojanowski explained, Mineola Middle School and High School students both have access to twin Fab Labs at their schools, offered as part of students’ Exploratory elective at the middle-school level.

“It really is in keeping with the whole Mineola philosophy of design thinking,” Trojanowski said. “It really gives kids the opportunity to practice different skills in real time.”

Students who helped demonstrate what the Fab Lab is all about included fifth- and sixth-graders Mason Bower, Caio de Sousa, Michael Gavin, Ellie Carbone, Yannis Tam, Joao de Sousa, Tyler Alohou, Maddux Ramalhete, and Daniella Porcelli.

Downstairs in the robotics side of the Fab Lab, the group went around in a circle and explained what projects they’ve been working on.

Caio de Sousa showed off two 3D-printed figures: a Lego-style (big) mini-figure, and a model of the animate truck Mater from the film Cars. To design the figures, he explained, he used the program Tinkercad, which took him about two days. The printing, which happened across the hall, took about a day. They next thing he wants to make is a larger version of his Lego figure, specifically designed for robotics use.

Michael Gavin displayed several versions of a 3D-printed garage door opener-holder that he created for his mom. “I made this design because my mom usually can’t find the opener in her pocketbook, so she starts looking for it 20 minutes before she gets to the house.” First he designed the case, and then added a ring feature so the holder could attach to his mom’s keys or somewhere handy in the car. In addition to making improved versions of the item, Gavin also made a website to advertise his final product.

Ellie Carbone explained that one of her favorite projects this year was designing a robot to help her family. Her younger brother, she explained, is a picky eater, so the robot was designed to both clean up and cook food. She started with a cardboard model, which was stable, and then assembled a model made out of wood and glue, which even has its own wheels.

Working as a team, Tyler Alohou and Joao de Sousa were excited to show off their robot, Jeffrey, and its fancy moves. “We decided to make a slide and a robot, and before doing that, we decided to make a 3D design before printing,” Joao de Sousa said.

“We named it Jeffrey,” Alohou said. “We thought it would be funny,” de Sousa said.

The pair went through two versions or models of their robot, and worked to program it to be able to clean the floor. Using a coding program, they also instructed Jeffrey to be able to navigate a maze and other kinds of tracks.

Mason Bower also came prepared to impress with his 3D-printed model of R2-D2 from the Star Wars franchise. He explained that he didn’t borrow from pre-existing designs of the famous robot, but rather designed his figure from scratch, trying to include as much detail as possible.

Yannis Tam, Maddux Ramalhete, and Daniella Porcelli rounded out the demonstration by discussing the computer numerical control (CNC) projects they worked on, while utilizing a machine that can drill or otherwise imprint designs onto wood and other surfaces. They used the program Canva to create their designs for personalized wood blocks, featuring their names, plants, or other decorations.

Tam explained, “Once the wood is cut, we use something called resin, with a few pigments, to make the color, and just pour it on.”

Ramalhete said that he made one for his friend’s birthday, including some of his friend’s favorite logos and colors.

Porcelli made hers in honor of a show she

“really liked at the time,” Stranger Things “Once the machine is done cutting, you can add as many colors as you like. I decided, after adding the color, to sand it down, and this is how it came out.”

Overall, the group had lots of good things to say about Fab Lab, as well as their teacher, Ms. Guidetti.

“My experience with Fab Lab has been that it’s pretty fun, with lots of different challenges to do,” Tam said.

Bower said, “It’s really nice how you get a project to do and have the freedom to do whatever you want with it, really. I like it because it’s really fun and creative. My next project is a CNC board, and it’s actually being cut right now; you can hear it [across the hall].”

Ramalhete said one aspect of the Fab Lab that he appreciates is that Ms. Guidetti frequently has students work together on group projects, or encourages them to collaborate while working on solo projects, too.

Ramalhete recalled doing a group project where students were asked to build a boat

out of cardboard and gradually add small weights to see how much of a load it could handle without sinking. “We combined all of our ideas to make one idea, and it worked out. Our boat held more than anybody else’s.”

Carbone said, “I really like how Ms. Guidetti helps you work on anything you want, and get different experiences inside one project.”

Joao de Sousa added, “I think working in a group is the way to be.”

3D-printed projects included garage door-openers, a Lego figure, favorite movie characters, and more.

A Hero’s Homecoming In Westbury

ANTON MEDIA GROUP STAFF

editors@antonmediagroup.com

The Westbury High School community recently welcomed back one of their own with kind words, hugs, matching t-shirts, and even dance moves.

On Monday, May 15, high school social studies teacher Tom Renner got a hero’s welcome at Westbury High School after returning from a year-long break to receive treatment for and recover from leukemia.

Fellow staff members of the 19-year Westbury High veteran convened a ‘flash mob’ to welcome Renner back into the building, featuring matching t-shirts and a short dance performance in one of the school’s hallways.

“As one of the most popular teachers, he connects with staff and students because of his big heart and friendly disposition,” Westbury High School wrote in a Facebook post.

“Tom shares his life experiences freely, such as his lifetime of martial arts endeavors, his love for cinema (both starring and producing) and his love of photography. Tom’s willingness to always help those in need makes him unparalleled but his recent victory against leukemia has catapulted him to hero status!”

Students of Renner were also thrilled to welcome him back to the school, where he got to meet some of his students for the first time on Monday.

Jahshua Taylor, from Westbury High School’s Class of 2019, submitted the following letter on behalf of his graduating class:

We, the alumni of the Westbury High School Class of 2019, are writing to express our utmost joy and appreciation upon learning about Mr. Renner’s return to the classroom following his courageous battle with leukemia. As a collective group, we wanted to extend our deepest gratitude and admiration for Mr. Renner’s unwavering dedication, passion, and the profound impact he has had on our lives.

During our time at Westbury High School, Mr. Renner played an instrumental role in our academic and personal development. His commitment to education, his innovative teaching methods, and his genuine care for his students created a classroom environment that was engaging, supportive, and inspiring. Mr. Renner’s passion for social studies sparked our curiosity, encouraged critical thinking, and fostered a deeper understanding of the world around us.

Beyond the classroom, Mr. Renner’s influence extended into our lives as young adults. He consistently encouraged us to be active participants in our community, to challenge social injustices, and to use our voices to advocate for positive change. He empowered us to embrace our identities, embrace diversity, and strive for a more inclusive society. His mentorship has left an indelible mark on our lives, and we carry the lessons he imparted with us as we navigate the world beyond high school.

Mr. Renner’s battle with leukemia served as a testament to his unwavering strength, resilience, and determination. His positive outlook and unwavering spirit have inspired us all. We witnessed firsthand his dedication to his craft, even in the face of adversity. It is

with great joy that we welcome him back to Westbury High School, where his presence will undoubtedly continue to shape the lives of countless students, just as he has shaped ours.

As alumni of the Class of 2019, we are proud to have been taught by Mr. Renner. We are grateful for the opportunities he provided us and the lifelong lessons we learned under his guidance. His return to the classroom brings a renewed sense of hope and excitement, not only for the current students but for the entire Westbury High School community.

On behalf of the entire Class of 2019, we would like to extend our warmest congratulations to Mr. Renner on his return. We are immensely grateful for his tireless dedication, his passion for education, and his commitment to fostering a positive and inclusive learning environment. We are confident that his impact on future generations of students will be as profound as it has been on us.

Thank you for your attention to this letter, and please convey our sincerest appreciation to Mr. Renner for his invaluable contributions to our education and personal growth.

HERRICKS’ MUSIC EDUCATION PROGRAM RECEIVES NATIONAL RECOGNITION

Herricks has been honored with the Best Communities for Music Education designation from The NAMM Foundation for its outstanding commitment to music education. Now in its 24th year, the Best Communities for Music Education designation is awarded to districts that demonstrate outstanding achievement in efforts to provide music access and education to all students.

“Music is a prominent part of the Herricks community and is valued and supported by the district administration, the board of education, staff, music teachers and students,” said Director of Fine and Performing Art Anissa Arnold. “I am very proud to receive this recognition from NAMM for the 15th consecutive year and proud to be part of this community where music and our student musicians are in the forefront!”

To qualify for the Best Communities designation, Herricks answered detailed

questions about funding, graduation requirements, music class participation, instruction time, facilities, support for the music program and community music-making programs.

Since the passage of Every Student Succeeds Act in 2015 and a stated emphasis on a well-rounded education, many school districts have recommitted to music and arts education programs. During the pandemic, music and arts programs were a vital component to keeping students engaged in school. ESSA provides designated funding for well-rounded educational opportunities through Title IV Part A Student Academic Success and Achievement grants. NAMM Foundation research has revealed that these grants are being widely used by school districts to address instructional gaps in access to music and arts education.

Memorial Day: Remember The Fallen

AMANDA OLSEN

aolsen@antonmediagroup.com

On May 29, the United States will observe Memorial Day, which is a day set aside to remember the men and women who have died while serving in the US military. This observance began shortly after the civil war but was not made an official federal holiday until 1971. Originally known as Decoration Day, it is often celebrated with parades and services. Families also barbecue and gather, since it unofficially marks the beginning of summer.

The Origin of Decoration Day

Even before the Civil War ended, women’s groups across much of the South were gathering informally to decorate the graves of Confederate dead. In April 1886, the Ladies Memorial Association of Columbus, Georgia, resolved to commemorate the fallen once a year—a decision that seems to have influenced John Logan to follow suit. However, southern commemorations were rarely held on one standard day, with observations differing by state and spread out across much of the spring and early summer.

The Civil War killed more Americans than any other war in US history. When the war ended in 1865, the great number of dead soldiers required the establishment of national cemeteries. Within a matter of years, the survivors were visiting these sites for springtime remembrances, where they left flowers and recited prayers. One of these commemorations was organized in Charleston, South Carolina, by a group of formerly enslaved people immediately after the confederacy’s surrender. Despite this, according to the federal government, the

birthplace of Memorial Day is Waterloo, New York, where a large, annual community-wide event began May 5, 1866. The town closed businesses and gathered to place flowers and flags on the graves of fallen servicemen.

Shortly thereafter, on May 5, 1868, General John A. Logan, the leader of an organization of Civil War Veterans, began a campaign to declare May 30 a national day of remembrance. The date of Decoration Day, as he called it, was chosen because it wasn’t the anniversary of any particular battle. On the first Decoration Day, General James Garfield made a speech at Arlington National Cemetery, and 5,000 participants decorated the graves of the 20,000 Civil War soldiers buried there.

Within 22 years, every northern state had made Decoration Day an official state holiday. Southern states continued to mark their own observances until after World War 1.

The Holiday Evolves

Originally, the holiday only honored those killed in the Civil War. But after the United States became involved in other grave conflicts, the holiday evolved to honor the nation’s military personnel who died in all wars.

For decades, Memorial Day continued to be observed on May 30, the date General Logan had selected for the first Decoration Day. But in 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which established Memorial Day as the last Monday in May in order to create a three-day weekend for federal employees. The change went into effect in 1971. The same law also declared Memorial Day a federal holiday.

The move has not been without controversy, though. Veterans groups, concerned that more Americans associate the holiday with first long weekend of the summer and not its intended purpose to honor the nation’s war dead, continue to lobby for a return to the May 30 observances. For more than 20 years, their cause was championed by Hawaiian Senator—and decorated World

“In Flanders Fields”

by John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

Parenting Tips For Summer

BY ERICA SCHIFANO

Summer vacation! This phrase can evoke both parental joy and trepidation. On one hand, it can be a relief to sleep in a bit, relax at home in the mornings and plan family time together. On the other hand, too much free time may lead to bored, restless kids.

Active Parenting Fosters Healthy Families

Hands on parenting plays an outsized role in fostering positive child/parents connections, benefitting family dynamics no matter what your family situation is like. Most of us do not have the ability of spending every summer day with our children but with a degree of planning, it’s relatively easy to come up with inexpensive, fun activities that will keep your family busy, create memorable moments, and foster the conversations and relationships that play an integral role in long-term communication with your children.

Get your kids involved in planning!

Hands-on parenting requires putting your devices away during an activity and asking your kids to do the same. Be sure to include your children in planning your days together- ask them what they want to do and explore some new interests with them. If they have a hand in the plan, they’ll be more interested and receptive to the activity. It

can be helpful to plan out the week’s program as a family on Sunday. Make a list of meals for the week or outdoor activities for nice weather enjoyment as well as indoor activities for the inevitable rainy day. Your local library is a fabulous resource for free, fun and educational opportunities and a wonderful place to meet other parents and children.

Create themed weeks or special days. A

Must be organized, dependable and able to handle some heavy items when needed.

Tuesday and Wednesday are necessary days and we can be exible with remaining hours. Clean driving record and the ability to pass a background check is a must.

schedule for “Animal Week” might include bird watching, hopping a fishing boat at Captree or walking the shore at north or south shore beaches. Visits early and later in the day yield greater rewards with wildlife viewing, not to mention technicolor sunsets. If it’s rainy, watch The Lion King, for example, or do an animal craft. The internet offers hundreds of inexpensive craft ideas-children also have a wonderful imagination!

The Great Indoors

Rainy days at home can be relaxing and fun, perfect for baking a special treat, cooking a meal together, working on a jigsaw puzzle, arts & crafts, playing a board game or even making up their own board game! These activities encourage conversation, skill development and bring a satisfying end result. Selecting a movie or two that the family can enjoy together is much less expensive than an outing to a movie theater. Check out your local library’s book collection and introduce one of your childhood favorites to your kids. It’s a great way to talk about your own childhood and how it is different or similar to your children’s experiences. Don’t forget to pop your own popcorn or create a special snack.

The Great Outdoors

Families from all over the world visit Long Island beaches, parks and spend a day in New York City. You should too!

The Long Island’s Children’s Museum, the

Nassau County Museum of Art’s sculpture garden, the Planting Fields Arboretum, Old Westbury Gardens and many other beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces are just a few of the places for inexpensive family fun. You may be able to reserve free passes at your local library.

Think back to your own childhood and what you enjoyed as a kid. Remember the fun you had riding your bike, rollerblades or scooter? Long Island has many parks and family friendly bike trails. A destination adds enjoyment and interest. How about a lemonade stand? The website Playworks www.playworks.org/ offers plenty of fun games and ideas for groups of all sizes.

When you want to stay closer to home, try water balloons, sprinklers, or a chalk art contest. Planting an easy to grow garden of flowers and vegetables can encourage a lifelong interest in gardening.

While there is no shortage of summer fun on Long Island, its important to remember to keep a regular bedtime for your kids. If kids stay up too late and sleep in every morning, the transition to school will be more difficult.

The summer days are precious. Start making your plans for a memorable summer.

COLUMNS

Look at Me

Jason and Dawn have been together for two years. They often defuse any arguments they have with comforting touch, such as a pat on the back or light touch on the shoulder. They have discussed the importance of this as a way to communicate that they are there for one another and love one another, even when in the middle of an argument. They have recently begun to explore other ways that they can remain connected, even when experiencing conflict. While touch can be an important component of relationships, as it helps partners bond and soothe one another, eye contact is also essential.

The Research

In a famous study conducted by Joan Kellerman, James Lewis, and James Laird (1989), participants were paired with strangers and

were instructed to either look at each other’s hands, look into their eyes, or look into their eyes and focus on how many times their partner was blinking. Those who were looking into one another’s eyes (mutual gaze) reported more affection than the pairs in other conditions.

The Application

The study discussed above was conducted in a laboratory setting, and it’s not that likely that you and your partner will sit down at a table and gaze into one another’s eyes in the middle of a heated discussion, debate, or quickly escalating conflict. However, there are ways to be mindful about the way in which you connect (using your eyes) when interacting with one another. Many people, when feeling embarrassed or ashamed will glance down and away from their partners. When angry, you may scrunch up your eyes to look more serious (or menacing). For many, our emotions are clearly displayed on our faces. Be cognizant of how you and your partner connect with one another in terms of your eye contact next time you engage.

What is the Festival of Shavuot?

As over three million people congregated at the foot of Mount Sinai, after forty years of trudging through the desert, the defining moment in Jewish history occurred. Through dust and clouds, The Creator’s voice emanated across the masses and transmitted the Ten Commandments. With great seriousness, each person who bore witness to this grand mass revelation accepted the responsibility of keeping them. Beginning Thursday evening, May 25th, we celebrate this monumental experience with the holiday of Shavuot.

The Hebrew word shavuot means “weeks” in English and represents the seven weeks between the exodus from Egypt and the receiving of the Torah. Following the second day of Passover, we count the 49 days of the Omer and then celebrate Shavuot on the 50th day. On this holiday, Jewish people attempt to merge their spiritual selves with the spirit of the Divine and fortify their souls by accepting the Torah anew. In essence, on Shavuot, Jews reaffirm the declaration they made to The Almighty upon receiving the commandments: “We will do, and we will listen.”

Because King Solomon described the Torah as “sweet as milk and honey under the tongue,” many reminiscent traditions are undertaken during the Shavuot festival. Some people study Torah from Thursday night until sunrise

and on Friday, Jews around the world assemble, just as they did over three thousand years ago, to hear the recitation of the Ten Commandments. Furthermore, it is customary to eat a dairy meal and recite Yizkor, the prayer of remembrance, on Shabbat morning. During those same morning prayer services, the Book of Ruth is read, in homage to the fact that, just as Jews loyally accepted the Torah at Mount Sinai, Ruth, a convert, demonstrated her willingness to take upon the tenets of the Jewish religion. As she told her motherin-law, Naomi, “Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your G-d, my G-d.” Ruth was a young Moabite princess and her eventual conversion to Judaism earned her an important place in Jewish history. Generations later, the

your partner. This may be challenging at first, especially if this is something that you aren’t used to. Maintaining eye contact with one another not only communicates that you are engaged and interested in what your partner is saying, but as the research shows, can lead to feelings of affection. If this is too challenging to do when in the middle of a heated discussion, make sure that you end the conversation by having at least 30 seconds of uninterrupted eye contact, bonus points if you’re also holding one another’s hands.

union between the young Ruth and the 80-year-old Boaz would produce the brave King David, who is credited with building the first Temple. The Hebrew date upon which Shavuot falls also happens to be the day that King David, Ruth’s great-grandson, entered and exited the world. Samuel, the exulted biblical prophet, wrote the Book of Ruth as genealogical proof of his fine character.

My book, Ruth Talk: Questions and Answers on the Book of Ruth, is meant to be a companion to the Book of Ruth. Ruth Talk analyzes each segment of the four chapters in a way that brings the biblical characters to life and makes the story relevant to our time. My hope is that readers will come to see it as a powerful account of self-transformation, filled with elements of love, hope, fate and world reparation. Ruth Talk is written in an easy question-and-answer format that reveals timeless life lessons, nuanced meaning, and emotional depth, all found within the interpersonal challenges that our ancestors faced. I dearly wish people will pick up Ruth Talk

alongside the biblical Book of Ruth and have both an enriched reading experience and a soulful celebration of Shavuot festival because of it.

For this upcoming Festival of Shavuot, I’d like to give each person some encouragement: Each of us can figuratively ascend Mount Sinai. We may celebrate Shavuot once a year, but we experience Shavuot and reaffirm our allegiance to our Creator every time we take the Torah out of the ark, every time we listen to the reading of the Torah, and every time we engage in Torah study. This Shavuot, believe in your spiritual potential and make efforts to realize it. Find in your hearts the steadfast loyalty that Ruth possessed and watch yourselves become the recipients of untold spiritual reward. Perhaps your descendants will make priceless contributions to our future, as Ruth’s great-grandson, King David, did. Or perhaps you’ll find that just being a part of this journey, using our Torah as a blueprint and observing the commandments are all the fulfillment you need. Wishing all who celebrate a Happy Shavuot!

Why Nassau Needs a Strong, Independent Inspector General’s Office

As a legislator who served during the height of corruption in Nassau County and witnessed the indictment of former Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano, I know firsthand how important it is to have mechanisms in place to protect taxpayer money from the pitfalls of waste and fraud.

During the past few years, I have worked closely with my Minority Caucus colleagues to strengthen the integrity of Nassau’s procurement system and make the process of awarding contracts as fair and secure as possible. We did so by increasing the rigor of our contract reviews; requiring vendors to submit the names of all principals and any political contributions they have made; and mandating the disclosure of any violations

an applicant may have been issued. Soon after, we created the Office of the Inspector General and appointed the County’s first Inspector General, Jodi Franzese – a proud moment in my legislative career.

Operating as an independent official, the Inspector General and their team promote transparency and increase the accountability of County operations by reviewing each contract to detect and prevent waste, fraud, and the abuse of taxpayer money in Nassau County procurement.

Continued support for the Inspector General’s office is critical to further ensuring the integrity of our procurement system – one that encompasses hundreds of millions of dollars each year. However, it appears that

there are efforts being made to weaken this crucial County government watchdog.

After her four-year term expired at the end of 2022, the Inspector General worked for months without being reappointed by the Legislature, placing her and the entire office into an uncertain posture. Without the protection that being formally appointed by a bipartisan, 13-vote supermajority provides, the Inspector General’s ability to achieve its mission of serving as an independent watchdog is inherently weakened.

That is why the Minority Caucus introduced legislation in April to extend the Inspector General’s contract through 2026. Unfortunately, the Majority rejected our proposal, and the Inspector General recently

announced she will be leaving her position effective June 1.

Preserving and enhancing ethics safeguards like the Inspector General’s office will not only protect taxpayer money from waste, fraud, and abuse, it will also deter future bad actors and help to ensure that elected officials have all the information they need to reach informed decisions. The Minority Caucus will continue to fight tirelessly to dramatically improve the procurement process to make it more transparent, inclusive, and cost-effective – and it is essential for Nassau County to continue down this path.

PSEG Long Island Invites Students To Learn What It Takes To Be A Utility Worker

Whether it’s a blue-sky day or a stormy night, utility workers are on the job around the clock to keep the lights on. May was Electric Safety Month – an opportunity for PSEG Long Island to bring more than 50 students from Nassau BOCES to the PSEG Long Island Training Academy to teach them what it

SPRING EVENT

takes to be a utility worker. The students learned how PSEG Long Island provides safe, reliable power to the service area and how to be safe around electricity.

Students from Nassau BOCES toured the PSEG Long Island Training Academy with utility workers who will educate them about electricity, while touring the

five academies: substations, emergency services, underground and overhead lines, and meter maintenance. They also got a visual demonstration illustrating why it is important to stay away from downed power lines. The demonstration took place at the PSEG Long Island Training Academy in Hicksville, NY.

There was a climbing demonstration, visual demonstration on the dangers of working on and around high voltage wires, what to do if a power line falls on a car, home, or fence, and how wildlife can negatively interfere with power lines.

Summertime Art: A list of upcoming exhibits at iconic museums

BY LONG ISLAND WEEKLY STAFF editors@antonnews.com

Museums are a great place to get out of the hot, summer air into air conditioning. They are also great places to see some amazing art. Here is a list of museums in Nassau, Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan that have exciting exhibits coming up this summer. What these museums have to offer is, of course, not limited to this list. Before visiting a museum, simply visit the websites listed below so that you know what exhibitions you’d like to focus your time on.

NASSAU COUNTY:

The Nassau County Museum of Art, One Museum Dr. in Roslyn Harbor. nassaumuseum.org.

Modigliani and the Modern Portrait (July 22 – Nov. 5, 2023): “Devoted to the way that Modigliani powerfully re-defined the art of portraiture, the show includes his masterworks along with paintings and drawings by his Parisian contemporaries (Picasso, van Dongen, Laurencin). Modigliani’s enduring influence on artists even in our own time is shown in a selection of Contemporary paintings by such important figures as David Hockney, Eric Fischl, Elizabeth Peyton and others. The exhibition is being curated by Dr. Kenneth Wayne, founder of The Modigliani Project which authenticates paintings and drawings.”

QUEENS:

MoMA PS1, 22-25 Jackson Ave. in Queens. momaps1.org.

Standing On The Corner: Seven

Prepared Pianos for the Seven African Powers (June 1 - Oct.9, 2023): “For their first durational museum presentation, the avant-garde musical ensemble

‘Standing on the Corner’ (American, est. 2016), led by Gio Escobar, will create a sonic, multimedia installation that brings together spiritual objects, modified instruments, and moving images. The centerpiece of the exhibition is a large-scale installation consisting of seven pianos distinctly presented and prepared, with symbolic objects inserted into their strings to create apparitional interventions. Forging connections between New York City, Puerto Rico, and Africa—reflecting Escobar’s own ancestral ties—the project imagines how spiritual and natural forces intersect with and bewitch our objects and environment. The installation makes

visible the inner workings of the pianos, as well as the artists’ intercession into the strings, through cameras installed inside of the instruments, with footage projected in real time. This work bridges Standing on the Corner’s interest in the urban modifications of ancient devotional practices of the Caribbean and Africa and proposes the destruction of Western musical traditions. The installation will be activated during concerts that harness the altered acoustics of each piano to summon the mysterious powers that possess them.”

BROOKLYN:

Brooklyn Museum, 200 Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn. brooklynmuseum.org.

Africa Fashion (June 23 - Oct.22, 2023): “Making its North American debut in Brooklyn, ‘Africa Fashion’ is the largest-ever presentation of the subject: more than 180 works, including standout pieces from the museum’s collections. Organized thematically, this multisensory experience features immersive displays of haute couture and ready-to-wear apparel, as well as photographs, literature, sketches, music, film and catwalk footage, textiles, and jewelry. More than forty designers and artists from twenty African countries are represented, from the vanguards who first gained worldwide attention, such as Kofi Ansah (Ghana) and Shade Thomas-Fahm (Nigeria), to the newest generation of cutting-edge creatives, such as Thebe Magugu (South Africa) and Gouled Ahmed (Djibouti). Many of their works are on view for the first time in the United States.”

MANHATTAN:

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Ave. in New York. metmuseum.org.

Van Gogh’s Cypresses (May 22 - Aug.27, 2023): “Van Gogh’s Cypresses is the first exhibition to focus on the trees—among the most famous in the history of art—immortalized in signature images by Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890). Such iconic pictures as ‘Wheat Field with Cypresses’ and ‘The Starry Night’ take their place as the centerpiece in a presentation that affords an unprecedented perspective on a motif virtually synonymous with the Dutch artist’s fiercely original power of expression. Some 40 works illuminate the extent of his fascination with the region’s distinctive flamelike evergreens as they successively sparked, fueled, and stoked his imagination over the course of two years in the South of France: from his initial sightings of the “tall and dark” trees in Arles to realizing their full, evocative potential (“as I see them”) at the asylum in Saint-Rémy. Juxtaposing landmark paintings with precious drawings and illustrated letters—many rarely, if ever, lent or exhibited together—this tightly conceived thematic exhibition offers an extraordinary opportunity to appreciate anew some of Van Gogh’s most celebrated works in a context that reveals the backstory of their invention for the first time.”

New Museum, 235 Bowery in New York. newmuseum.org.

Pepón Osorio: My Beating Heart/ Mi Corazón Latiente (June 29 - Sept. 17, 2023): “Informed by his background in theater and performance as well as his experiences as a child services case worker and professor, Osorio’s richly textured sculptures and installations are deeply invested in political, social, and cultural issues affecting Latinx and working class communities in the United States. Installed in the New Museum’s Second Floor galleries, the exhibition will focus on the elaborate, large-scale, multimedia environments that Osorio has been creating since the early 1990s, often developed through long-term conversations and collaborations with individuals in the neighborhoods where they were first shown. This exhibition will provide an opportunity to experience Pepón Osorio’s new and most iconic projects together for the first time, and demonstrate the distinctive ways in which he creates encompassing environments that illustrate personal stories and reveal crucial societal concerns. Taken from an eponymous work, the title of the exhibition addresses themes that resonate throughout Osorio’s practice, including the simultaneous resilience and fragility of human life, the values and desires that propel humanity, and the fundamental urgency to better care for one another.”

John Shopis Recognized For Service To Community

In recognition of National Volunteer Month recently, PSEG Long Island celebrates its employees who support their neighbors throughout the year through community service.

During the year and throughout the month of April, PSEG Long Island employees enjoy giving back to their communities. In April, they mobilized to assist the Red Cross in installing smoke detectors in homes in Hempstead; commemorated Earth Day and Arbor Day by providing Long Islanders with energy-saving trees in Hauppauge and East Meadow; and joined Island Harvest Food Bank in Greenlawn to pack and distribute food to members of the community.

“Throughout the year our employees show their commitment to their neighbors through community service in the towns and villages where they live and work,” said David Lyons, interim president and

COO of PSEG Long Island.

“National Volunteer Month provides the perfect backdrop to say thanks and recognize the people in our organization who do so much for so many.”

John Shopis of Seaford participated in the food distribution.

“It was great to be back out participating with fellow employees at this community service event,” said Shopis. “I met a nice group of people who are all dedicated to helping other Long Island families. Our customers were thankful for the food and supplies they received. This event shows the dedication and caring attitude of our employees, who are also neighbors. It’s great to work for a company that gives back and is appreciated by the customers we serve.”

As high school varsity athletes from around the county are signing on with their almamaters-to-be, Carle Place senior Mia Babino is heading off to college with plenty of accolades under her belt.

As a varsity field hockey player, Babino has spent four years tearing up mid-field at Carle Place High School, which has a hearty (and trophy-laden) athletic tradition, including in its field hockey program.

Over her final year with the team, Babino has put together quite an impressive collection of awards herself. For one thing, Babino received AllConference, All-League, All-County Honorable Mention and All-Long Island 2nd Team honors. She also took part in the Nassau County Girls’ Field

Hockey Exceptional Senior game.

In addition to being a serious contender on the field, Babino has worked hard at her studies, and received an All-Scholar Athlete

State Senator Martinez Introduces Legislation To Increase Protections For Wild, Exotic Animals

Senator Monica R. Martinez has introduced bill S6211, which establishes a definition for exotic animals and expands the existing definition of wild animals. The bill further prohibits exotic animals from being harbored, traded, imported, sold or owned as pets in the same way as wild animals.

“Wild and exotic animals require specific conditions and environments to survive. The habitats in which these animals live in the wild are far from conditions that exist in New York. Any business operating with the intent of profiting by selling these exotic animals should be held accountable under the law for the unethical treatment of animals,” stated Senator Martinez.

The bill clearly defines a wild animal as an indigenous, non-domesticated animal native to the country in which they live, and an exotic animal as a wild animal with an origin of a different continent. The bill further lists all families and orders that would be protected, some of which include sloths, kangaroos, hyenas, elephants, wallabies and armadillos.

This bill has swiftly garnered support from a number of organizations. John Di Leonardo, Anthrozoologist and Executive Director of Humane Long Island said,

“Humane Long Island applauds Senator Martinez for introducing essential legislation to amend New York State’s prohibition on keeping wild animals to include exotic

animals such as sloths and kangaroos. Sloths are tree-dwelling, tropical animals with sharp teeth and four-inch claws. They are mostly deaf and nearly blind when exposed to bright light. Red kangaroos are the largest marsupial in the world, growing up to 6ft tall and weighing up to 200lbs. A pet Gray kangaroo, which is roughly half the size of a Red kangaroo, made international news last year after he killed his owner and blocked paramedics from reaching him before being shot dead by the police. Wild animals are not pets and treating them like dogs or cats endangers children and animals alike.”

Edita Birnkrant, Executive Director of NYCLASS said, “NYCLASS is thrilled that NY State Senator Martinez has introduced much-needed legislation to expand the definition of ‘wild’ animals prohibited from being imported, sold or owned in New York. This important bill will prevent thousands

of non-native animals from being exploited and endangered by wildlife traffickers recklessly selling these animals to New Yorkers who may not understand that animals such as sloths, kangaroos, ostriches, emus and many others should never be pets. NYCLASS strongly supports the passage of this bill and will work with the Senator to help enact it into law.”

“I look forward to working with my colleagues to garner additional support and pass this much needed legislation. It is inhumane and unethical for wild and exotic animals to be sold or kept as pets in New York State. These are not animals that should be closely interacting with people on a daily basis,” stated Senator Martinez. This bill would not apply to facilities, sanctuaries and other exclusions under current law.

Raynham Hall Museum Delights Community With Love Re-Awakened Ball

Raynham Hall Museum has become known in the Gold Coast region of Long Island for its spectacularly fun and over-the-top fundraising events, and its recent party, the Love Re-Awakened Ball, was no exception.

The museum honored three outstanding local press outlets, including Anton Media Group. A group of renowned designers, including benefit co-chairs Jamie and Frantz Arty of Oyster Bay, and Tré & David LaVoúx-Ganci of Glen Cove, created individual tablescapes to transform the ballroom at The Muttontown Club in East Norwich. Gorgeous silent auction items, a robust live auction led by auctioneer extraordinaire Russell Koster, and a roulette wheel of wine bottles for a “Spinthe-Bottle” game completed the party. Live music, by the legendary Lester Lanin Orchestra, brought guests to their feet throughout the evening.

“These designers are all so immensely talented, and we love seeing all the beautiful but incredibly different looks they come up with,” said Harriet Gerard Clark, the museum’s executive director.

The annual event supports the nearly 300-year-old Townsend family home, bringing to life the history of Revolutionary War espionage, domestic life, and decorative arts. Contributions enable the museum to give back to Long Island school children with field trip scholarships, educational programs, and exhibits, as well as preservation of the house, its vast and intriguing collections, and other operational support.

For further information on past and upcoming events, contact Raynham Hall Museum, located at 30 West Main Street in Oyster Bay, at 516-922-6808 or check the website at www.raynhamhallmuseum.org.

Northwell Teaches Lifesaving Training At School

Student Sydney Brewer led the effort for critical training at her school.

Northwell Health led Stop the Bleed training for hundreds of students at Bellmore-Merrick’s John F. Kennedy High School on May 12. The lifesaving training taught students how to staunch bleeding from trauma in the critical moments before paramedics arrive at the scene, which has shown to often be the difference between life and death.

The training was possible thanks to the effort of Sydney Brewer, a junior at the school. Sydney led a fundraising effort and purchased 60 Stop the Bleed kits for her school – and was instrumental in getting staff from North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset to come teach the students how to use them.

“I’m the same age as the kids in the Sandy Hook shooting, and I knew I had to do something about it,” said Sydney, who is 17. “It makes me so proud that my hard work has paid off and now I can help people help other people.”

Gun violence is on the rise across the country, which is what spurred Sydney on. There have already been more than 200 mass shootings this year, which are defined

as shootings in which four or more people are injured or killed, according to the Gun Violence Archive. Additionally, this May marks the fifth annual National Stop the Bleed Month, which highlights the importance of learning this critical skill.

Students were shown how to pack wounds to stop bleeding and apply tourniquets. They also learned that gun violence is not the only situation in which this training can be used. Critical wounds can occur during car crashes, falls and when doing

yard work. A person with a severe wound can bleed to death in about three minutes, which is often before paramedics or police can arrive on the scene. Knowing how to stop bleeding from an open wound can save lives.

“Learning how to stop bleeding is a vital skill that can save lives,” said Matthew Bank, MD, executive director of the Northwell Trauma Institute. “This type of grassroots event is exciting and very feasible. The Northwell Trauma Institute is happy to collaborate with anyone to set up Stop The Bleed training events.”

Northwell doctors, nurses and EMTs taught more than 500 students at JFK High School during the day-long session, and are teaching hundreds more on May 19. When they’re done, the entire student body will be trained in stopping bleeding.

“I couldn’t be more proud of our students,” said John F. Kennedy High School Principal Gerard Owenburg. “Getting the kits was one thing. But having the training and the students having the knowledge has really brought it to another level.”

Man Sentenced To 14 Years For Narcotics, Attempted Murder

Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly announced that a Hempstead man was sentenced May 15 to 14 years in prison for conducting a narcotics business from an unlicensed day care center in Hempstead and attempting to murder a romantic rival.

Lex Lloyd, 26, pleaded guilty on February 15, 2023, before Judge Robert Schwartz to criminal possession of a controlled substance in the first degree (an A-I felony), attempted murder in the second degree (a B violent felony), assault in the first degree (a B violent felony), criminal use of a firearm in the first degree (a B violent felony), three counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree (a B felony), conspiracy in the second degree (a B felony), criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree (a C violent felony), three counts of endangering the welfare of

a child (an A misdemeanor), and menacing (an A misdemeanor).

The defendant was sentenced to 14 years in prison and five years’ post release supervision. The NCDA recommended a sentence of 18 years in prison.

“The defendant brazenly prepared narcotics near children’s toys and furniture at a fully functioning daycare center,” said DA Donnelly. “Countless children were put at risk because of this defendant’s behavior. In separate incidents, Lex Lloyd further endangered another child by attacking a romantic rival, who was with his son, and nearly killing the man in February 2021. I thank our prosecutors and the numerous law enforcement agencies which helped bring Lloyd and 40 other codefendants to justice as part of Operation Honeycomb.”

Garden City Baseball Hosts Opening Playoff Round Against Mineola

The Trojans varsity baseball team entered the last series of the season against South Side High School tied for first. After dropping two of three closely competed games in that series, the Trojans finished in second in the conference standings. However, their season record qualifies the Trojans for the playoffs earning them a six seed and they will host a home first round game against the #11 seed Mineola. If the Trojans defeat Mineola, they will have an opportunity for

redemption as they could face #3 seeded South Side in a rematch. However, Coach Izzo stated, “We do not look ahead of anyone. We must take care of business against Mineola first. The team is focused, and they know we must face each challenge round by round. This time of year, it is about being focused as a unit and executing.”

So far 270 Girl Scouts have achieved patches through a series of activities for Girl Scouts that promoted environmental advocacy, social justice, workforce development and community engagement.
