TOP STORY

Using The Arts To Bridge The Identity Gap Hicksville alum composes opera featuring transgender/nonbinary people EMMA DUFFY nassauobserver@antonmediagroup.com

he world is progressing, and many feel as though traditional art forms should progress with it. Aiden K. Feltcamp has made their mark in trying to make opera more inclusive by curating Anthology of New Music: Trans & Nonbinary Voices, the first-ever volume of vocal and piano music written for and/or by transgender and nonbinary people. Feltcamp’s first memory of music is of an orchestra concert at the Tilles Center. Four-year-old Feltcamp heard Tchaikovsky’s “Romeo and Juliet” and fell in love with music. After this, they began to beg their parents to let them play an instrument. Because of this, at the age of five, Feltcamp began their own journey in the art of music. They started with playing a quarter-sized cello, joined the school choir and moved up to studying opera at Bard College. With these studies, Feltcamp has become a DEI consultant and arts administrator. They now work at the American Composers Orchestra in New York City as their Director of Composer Advancement and Diversity. Any writing is seen as a side gig, at which Feltcamp is very successful. They have a lot of notable works. Some works include: Eva and the Angel of Death, that speaks about the Holocaust and is based on the book Surviving the Angel of Death: The True Story of a Mengele Twin in Auschwitz by Eva Mozes Kor and Lisa Rojany Buccieri and Ghost Variations that touches upon the topic of mental health. Historically, the opera has been explicitly gendered. Each character is matched equally with their gender and voice. This creates difficulties for those that do not conform to one gender, or those who have stopped presenting themselves as a certain gender. It was not always Feltcamp’s goal to address this problem, however, they soon became aware of the void that existed and became intent on remedying it. “I started writing articles about how race and gender and opera are related or not related, and how I would like to see the field and the industry changing when it comes to that,” Feltcamp said. “After writing articles about it, people would kind of write to me or ask me about it. I was like, well, there must be an anthology out there because that’s kind of how it

goes, but there wasn’t. So it was like, I guess I gotta make one.” Considering the history of opera, this was a huge undertaking. A move such as this would require opera to move past its older, traditional roots and progress into the present. It was not an easy task to take on. However, Feltcamp knew that it needed to be done. “Seeing just the need for it, that motivated me,” Feltcamp said. “Whenever I see a problem, I like to solve it.” When the average person thinks of the opera, they think of the same old thing. Normally, the opera follows strict rules

and guidelines for writers and performers alike. However, it seems to many that now would be a good time to allow change in ways even further beyond the current work of Feltcamp. “I’d like to see opera be more flexible in general,” Feltcamp said. “So this is just another one of these things that we can be more flexible on.” Most of the negative comments Feltcamp has gotten on their work come from those who are more traditionalist in their view of opera. They would like to see opera done as it has been since the 1800s and detest the forthcoming changes. This comes to a differing opinion on how art should work. “I think art should always

be changing, what’s the point of having things stay the same?” said Feltcamp. However, those who complain are a small minority. The majority of the feedback to Feltcamp’s work has been overwhelmingly positive. This progress stands to help many that have felt lost in their journey to take part in the art form that is opera. “It just makes my day to hear someone connect with the music in the anthology or see the anthology in their voice teacher studio, things like that,” Feltcamp said. Feltcamp understands this sort of revolution their peers feel. Although they have myriad successes in their career, Feltcamp says the most satisfying part of their career was getting the lead role in Griffin Candey’s Sweets by Kate. “The role was written for my voice, and the character allowed me to play a queer person on stage for the first time,” Feltcamp said in an email. “It was so special to bring my lived experience to the stage.” The premier was in 2015 and would be where Feltcamp’s journey was just beginning. Adding to the moment was the fact the opera was performed at the historic Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village, where Pride began. Sweets by Kate was the first opera to be performed in the space. Currently, they have been writing for multiple music magazines and working on the editorial committee for Opera America Magazine. But, Feltcamp always hopes that their future is filled with more exciting projects and operas to write. As much as they look forward to the opportunity to have new projects that hit home to them, they are more so looking forward to a bright future for opera in general. “It has nothing to do with me or me doing it,” Feltcamp said. “I just want it to happen. I want more and more trans creators to be out there and be performed and conditioned and platformed by larger and larger organizations within the industry.” Although Feltcamp has moved on to do great things, they always knows where their roots lay. They know that without their time at Hicksville High School, they would not have been the person that they are today. “I’m always really grateful that I was in a high school that had such a strong and exciting music program,” Feltcamp said. “My music teachers had a huge impact on me personally, they were so encouraging and really encouraged me to push myself musically and I always think back to that, but that was such an important foundation for me moving forward.” Emma Duffy is an Anton Media Group contributor.

Hicksville Takes On Climate Change DAVE GIL de RUBIO dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

ccording to the World Health Organization (WHO), climate change poses the greatest threat to global health in the 21st century. It’s a serious enough menace to warrant Hicksville teachers Kevin Boyle, Meghan Dowling-Lewis, Kevin Kerley and Lauren Kranz creating a Climate Change Initiative to increase student awareness of climate change and its impact on the local, national and global community. What started out as a program framed by the New York State Education at the tail end of the 2020-21 school year blossomed into a full-year syllabus for the 400-plus students that make up the Hicksville Middle School eighth grade. For Boyle, the educational North Star was partially driven by a book written by a local educator in addition to a state social studies curriculum encouraging civic participation and knowledge of civics in general. “I had recently read a book by Alan Singer called Supporting Civics Education with Student Activism,” Boyle said. “He’s a professor at Hofstra University who wrote a book with a former student of his about student

activism, engagement and learning civics through civic engagement and activism. We tried to think of the most middle school-appropriate sort of activism that we could take. Global warming and climate change is really important and is going to be really important to those people living in and on Long Island. It provides the most appropriate avenue and topic to talk about with kids and where they could make a difference in their individual habits and everyday lives.” Boyle explained the first part of the program was to identify the problem and then gather information and look up data to make sure it’s a real problem while understanding the science behind it. Students are

then tasked with developing solutions on an individual, small group and community level. Climate change causes are discussed along with carbon footprints, food waste and plastic pollution. Further exercises included writing letters expressing their support for climate-friendly initiatives to board of education members along with a number of local elected officials including Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Legislator Rose Marie Walker and Congressman Tom Suozzi. Giving agency to these young people was an added benefit as far as Boyle is concerned. “The thing I think is most important is that even though this is most specifically about fighting global warming and climate

change—I think the most important thing is that the kids see what they can do for this problem is something they can do for any problem they see in their community,” he said. “They’re learning through this activity, unit and actions that they can take additional actions. They can do these same kinds of things to address other problems and concerns they may have.” The curriculum also became very handson after Kranz successfully applied for the New York State Seedling Program, which resulted in the Hicksville Public School District receiving 15 white spruce seedlings, which prompted the creation of a district-wide tree-planing initiative. Thirty Hicksville Middle School students volunteered to be part of the “Green Team” that planted two white spruce seedlings in front of the middle school. It’s a gesture that Dr. Rose Borda, who is the supervisor of social studies and family and consumer science, yields the kind of tangible results these nascent gardeners will be able to appreciate for years to come. “The students are young enough to watch the trees grow before they graduate and see for themselves that they can make a positive and lasting impact at their school,” she said. Boyle added, “Planting these trees was a really full-circle kind of thing. The kids learned that the different trees suck carbon out of the air, which is fantastic. And planting these trees was a real firm thing we did to try and combat this problem.”

SCHOOL NEWS STUDENTS AND SPECIAL GUESTS MAKE CONNECTIONS AT MANOR A long-standing tradition returned at Seaford Manor Elementary School as grandparents and other relatives stopped by for Special Persons Day. The event was held in person for the first time since the pandemic and both children and their guests were delighted to spend some time together. “You are very special people in the lives of our students,” Principal Debra Emmerich told the visitors, adding that the children wanted to show their appreciation to their treasured family members. Throughout the day, two classes at a time came down to the gym and students welcomed their special guests. Children performed “You’re a Grand Old Flag” and “Take Me Out to the Ballgame,” and recited a poem about grandparents. They did yoga and mindfulness exercises and concluded the visit by reading together. Students performed several musical —Submitted by the Seaford School District numbers for their special guests.

CHARACTER GROWTH A TEAM EFFORT AT FAIRFIELD Together, kindergartners and fifth-graders are growing socially and emotionally at Fairfield Elementary School in the Massapequa School District. Students in Allison Martin’s kindergarten class and Peggy Meininger’s fifth-grade class come together at least once a month as social and emotional learning, or “SEL” buddies. They read a book together, which is then followed up with a hands-on, smallgroup activity. For May, the two classes read Going Places by Peter and Paul Reynolds. Themes of the book include creative ability, imagination and teamwork. After reading the book, the two classes went outside and worked together to build a freestanding tower.

PLAINVIEW-OLD BETHPAGE STUDENT SIBLINGS HELP OTHERS CREATE MEMENTOS OF LOST LOVED ONES A brother and sister at Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District are taking a tragic personal loss and turning it into healing experiences for others experiencing similar grief. Aidan and Zoey Taylor founded Heidi’s Helping Hands in honor of their late mother, who passed away suddenly in 2019. The program provides arts and crafts material for the loved ones of patients at Plainview Hospital to create special keepsakes. The siblings developed Heidi’s Helping Hands after their own experience saying goodbye— which they did by creating mementos of their mother—in her final days. “I couldn’t just sit with these feelings,” said Aidan, who is a freshman at Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School. “I proposed the idea to my aunt and sister and it kind of escalated from there. My sister helps a lot with the craft part of it. I do more of the

logistics and organizing people. I use my connections to help create fundraisers. As a kid, I may not have a lot of connections, but I try.” Zoey, who is an eighth-grader at H.B. Mattlin Middle School, wants to spread awareness of the program. “People should know that there is an opportunity to create a memory of their loved one while they are in the hospital,” she said. While Heidi’s Helping Hands is currently

only available for patients at Plainview Hospital, the Taylor siblings would like to expand it state- and nationwide. “It’s an opportunity everyone should have to connect with your loved one,” Aidan said. “At its core, we are just trying to help people heal through art.” Aidan and Zoey encourage anyone interested to visit support.northwell.edu/ HeidisHelpingHands and donate to Heidi’s Helping Hands.

NEIGHBORS IN THE NEWS The Women’s Club of Farmingdale (WCF) was privileged to have Farmingdale School District Superintendent Paul Defendini speak at their May meeting. Defendini relayed “That the past two years have been agonizing for staff and students alike...” as they attempted to navigate the ever-changing regulations of the pandemic. He compared it “To trying to rebuild an airplane while it’s flying.” As has been prevalent throughout the country, the school has had its share of staff/student mental health issues which has resulted in the hiring of additional social workers and psychologists. These expenditures, in turn, have been incorporated into the 2022-23 proposed school budget while keeping the proposed tax levy increase at a low 1.59 percent. Through it all, Defendini had nothing but high praise for all the school staff, which includes administrators, teachers and numerous support staff. Defendini stated that the good news is that “...during the last two to three weeks,” the vibe in the schools “...has started to feel different. There is a heartbeat present which has not been felt since the beginning of the pandemic.” Defendini also spoke on the several planned capital renovations and plans to bring the district completely off the energy grid in the next three to four years. Some of the capital projects include playground and parking lot restorations for which income held in a reserve account will be extracted. Forthcoming capital projects include solar car ports, saving 60 percent of the school district’s utility bill, while they provide protection from the elements and will have the capacity to charge electric vehicles. Installing LED lighting throughout the district will not only be cost effective, but will reduce time-consuming maintenance. At the Aquatic Center, there will be two pools, one for the community and one for student competition. This is expected to be completed and open for use in June. Defendini said that “...more information on the Aquatic Center will be available to the community soon.” Looking ahead, Defendini expects the school district to be entirely off the energy grid with the use of solar panels throughout the district. The Greater Federation of Women’s Club-New York State (GFWC-NYS ) President Linda Kreussling, WCF President Tina Diamond, 2nd VP Vicky Impollonia and GFWC-NYS board members Barbara Hoerner and Dolores Cianciabella represented the WCF with attendance at the New York State Convention in Albany. These conventions hold many very informative workshops and lectures, in addition to awarding certificates to various New York State clubs for their outstanding projects over the last two years. The WCF is very proud to have received 1st Place awards for: • Legislation and Public Policy: writing a resolution on amending the New York State Bail Reform Law 2020

• Communications & Public Relations: monthly articles and photos electronically submitted to numerous publications and WCF website, Facebook, handbook and newsletter • GFWC Signature Project: Domestic Violence Prevention: Donations to Dress for Success—donating new and gently used clothes for job interviews • Leadership Advancement: member presented program on the Who, What, Where, When and Why of GFWC reporting • Education & Library: donating $4,045 to honor six Farmingdale High School seniors with awards for excellence at graduation • Membership Advancement: hosting gatherings to collect holiday gift bags for homeless children at Madonna Heights and including associate members and friends helping to forge old and new friendships. Total gifting raised $1,575 in-kind donations The club also received 2nd Place and 3rd Place Awards for: • 2nd Place GFWC President’s Special Project: Raised more than $800 for pancreatic cancer with “Walk for a Cure” • 2nd Place Civic Engagement & Outreach: Donations and visits throughout the year to Epic House Jaclyn “Jackie” Novatt, Ph.D. has been appointed assistant dean for student affairs and administration at Touro College of Pharmacy (TCOP) in New York City. The Levittown resident will also serve as an associate professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences, and as TCOP’s senior student services officer. A biochemist, Novatt brings to Touro an impressive academic background coupled with considerable teaching and administrative experience. “Novatt’s unique background as a distinguished scientist, outstanding teacher, experienced administrator and dedicated researcher focused on teaching and learning makes her a perfect choice to lead TCOP’s student-centered efforts,” Dean Henry Cohen said. “We are delighted to welcome her to the senior leadership team and look forward to her inspiring the next generation of pharmacists. Said Novatt, “The Office of Student Affairs supports students as they work to achieve their professional and personal goals. By encouraging self-awareness and giving students the tools needed to help themselves and each other, we work to prepare knowledgeable, resilient pharmacists and compassionate leaders. I am excited to join the team at TCOP, where, as administrator and faculty, I have the amazing opportunity to help students succeed both in and out of the classroom.” Experienced Teacher, Innovator

Also at LIU, Novatt assumed the role of assistant dean for Student and Academic Affairs, which led her to shift her research interests to the art and science of teaching and learning. In addition to science, Novatt has a background in theater and improvisation. She is passionate about communicating science to the public and loves working with students to improve their communication skills using improv-based activities. Outside of work, she plays the cello and teaches at a religious school for Jewish students with special needs. As TCOP’s senior student services officer, Novatt will supervise student services, mental health counseling, disability services; and as liaison to the library, registrar, bursar, financial aid, facilities, security, food service and student insurance. She will also oversee all administrative operations and functions at TCOP, including internal management, operational, administrative and reporting procedures. Novatt replaces Associate Dean for Student Affairs/Chief Operating Officer Abraham Jeger, Ph.D., who has relinquished his full-time administrative responsibilities but remains with TCOP as a professor in the Department of Social, Behavioral, and Administrative Science, focusing on leadership education and pharmacy advocacy. Novatt assumed her duties at TCOP beginning on June 13. —Submitted by Touro University

Republicans Rebuff Democrats’ Plan Dominant party had pushed bill to change election years

EMMA DUFFY nassauobserver@antonmediagroup.com

n May 27, myriad local elected officials came together at a press conference to discuss proposed legislation that would move all village and town elections to even-numbered years in which there are major federal elections (congressional and/or presidential). The proposed bill was being pushed by Democrats and opposed by Republicans. All those who came together at the Town of Oyster Bay (TOBAY) Beach in Massapequa were fired up and ready to speak their mind about the effects of the implementation of this change. “It is illegal and we will do everything in our power as elected officials to make sure that local government is heard and that local government has their elections on odd years so we don’t get lost,” Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said. The proposed change is controversial for a plethora of reasons. One of the main points of Republicans’ discontent is the fact that New York City was left out of this

Assemblywoman Gina Sillitti (D–Manorhaven) was one of the sponsors of the bill that would have moved town and village elections to even-numbered years. (Office of Gina Sillitti)

change. To many Republicans, this change does not seem constitutional and then on top of that it comes across as suspicious to

leave out one of the leading voices of the state. “If it’s such good government, why did you exclude New York City? Why did you keep them out?” Town of Hempstead Supervisor Don Clavin said. “We know why. Because New York State is run by New York City and New York City doesn’t particularly care for the suburbs and the quality of life.” In an interview with Anton Media Group, Jay Jacobs, chair of both the New York State and Nassau County Democratic committees, responded to the constitutionality and the exclusion of New York City in these proposed changes. “There is nothing in the Constitution,” he said. “This is set up by election law and can be changed by election law. But, the reason we didn’t include the cities is that they are covered under the Constitution. And so if we wanted to change the voting in the cities, they’re correct. We would need to have a constitutional amendment, but not as it relates to counting-in town offices.” Republicans continue to take issue with the fact that these elections would align with larger, federal elections. It is no secret that it takes a lot of time and money for local candidates to get their name out during

an election, and these difficulties increase during times of federal elections. “We would have to compete with presidential candidates and gubernatorial candidates to talk about local issues,” said Blakeman. “We know what they’re trying to do. They’re trying to obscure local government.” Their belief is that the voters will pay less attention to local elections, having them lose their importance, and it will cause the suburban voice to be drowned out. “This is literally stealing the voice of the suburbs. We can’t tolerate this,” Clavin said. Jacobs takes the opposite view. Many studies have proven that voter turnout increases during federal election years, he pointed out, meaning the voters within the suburbs would have an increased say in their government. “Turnout in odd-year elections is in the 25 to 30 percent range,” Jacobs said. “In even-year elections, depending upon whether it’s a gubernatorial or presidential, [turnout] is somewhere in the mid 40s to as high as near 70 percent. This is consistent throughout the state, so it just makes sense

BOOK REVIEW

The Lost Eden: America In The Harding Years

The Jazz Age President: Defending Warren G. Harding, by Ryan Walters JOSEPH SCOTCHIE jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

“M

ister, we could use a man like Her-bert Hoo-ver agaiiiin.” So sang Archie and Edith Bunker at the beginning of All In The Family, the highly popular sitcom that captivated Americans throughout the 1970s. Let’s substitute “Warren Harding” for “Herbert Hoover.” That’s the conclusion any reader will reach once finishing Ryan S. Walters’ The Jazz Age President: Defending Warren G. Harding, a brisk biography of a popular president who met an untimely death three years into his presidency. The twentieth century can be divided

into three eras: The conservatism of the 1920s, the liberalism of the 1930s and ‘40s and finally, the triumphant liberalism of 1965 onward. That’s one conservative era and two liberal ones. The latter won out. Calvin Coolidge, Harding’s popular successor, has been the subject of recent sympathetic biographies. Now, its Harding’s turn. Walters’ volume focuses on the Harding presidency. There is little on his upbringing, how a small-town Ohio lad became a newspaper publisher, using that as a springboard for a political career that landed Harding in the White House in 1920. Walters presents a portrait of a man who inherited a nation in turmoil and promptly set it on a right path. In 1919, Americans were jubilant that the Great War was over. Reality soon set in. Due to over-lending practices, inflation ran rampant. Unemployment shot up. A restless army of young men were returning

home. In 1917, Bolsheviks took power in Russia. By 1919, they were on the march, especially in America, which had extremely lenient immigration laws. Labor strikes, race riots and terrorist bombings dominated the news. Politicians were targeted. A bomb at a J.P. Morgan bank on Wall Street killed 30 people. Lynch mobs roamed the countryside in both the North and South. The sitting president, Woodrow Wilson, was now an invalid. The man remained obsessed with having League of Nations membership approved by a reluctant U.S. Senate. That membership, many feared, would obliterate American sovereignty. If say, the British Empire was in a jam in a far-off Asian or African land, American troops would have to fight for the Brits even without congressional approval. Enter Warren Harding. Elected as a senator from Ohio in 1910, Harding first made his mark by giving the keynote address at the 1916 GOP convention. In his

day, presidents from Ohio predominated. That alone made Harding a favorite for the 1920 nomination. More important was his message. Where did “America First” come from? It was the man’s slogan. And he knew how to articulate it: “I think it’s [America First] an inspiration to patriotic devotion to safeguard America first, to stabilize America first, to prosper America first, to think of America first, to exalt America first, to live for and revere America first.”

Bikers Raise $15,000 At 8th Annual Motorcycle Ride

he weather was spectacular for The Maurer Foundation’s 8th Annual Motorcycle Ride on June 5 when almost 200 participants took to the road for their largest ride to date, raising more than $15,000 in support of breast health education. BMB Solutions and Event Sponsor CEO Brian Busto stated, “The ride was a huge success. Helping to support The Maurer Foundation’s goals is very important to me and my firm, as we have all encountered a family member or a friend diagnosed with breast cancer. The Maurer Foundation is always trying to make a difference by raising funds and awareness through events like the Motorcycle Ride.” Many new faces joined this year’s event, including founder, Dr. Virginia Maurer, who enthusiastically crossed off a bucket list item by joining as a passenger on a bike. Escorted by the Suffolk County PD Highway Patrol and led by the Chosen Souls Motorcycle Club, bikers and their passengers set off for the 50-mile run from Overlook Beach in Oak Beach to the Riverhead Ciderhouse in Calverton, where participants enjoyed lunch, raffles and camaraderie in a beautiful indoor/ outdoor setting.

Chosen Souls Motorcycle Club Many motorcycle clubs came out in support, including Sworn Guns, Doomstrikers, Fire Riders, Victory Riders, Punishers, Founding Sons, AmVets Riders Post 88, and especially Chosen Souls MC. “Without the Chosen Souls, a ride of this magnitude would not be possible for us. From organizing the route to club outreach, they made this run safe and successful, and we are so grateful,” Executive Director Susan Samaroo explained.

HARDING from page 4B Harding had allies. An America First GOP caucus had huge majorities in Congress. Harding was able to both reduce spending and cut taxes. The budget deficit shrank; the economy boomed. How easy he had it! There were no entitlement programs on the books and the U.S. military had no global obligations. Let the Brits run the planet. Harding was able to produce the first arms reductions treaty in history, itself a forerunner to the U.S.-U.S.S.R. treaties that dominated the Cold War era. He appointed four conservatives justices to the Supreme Court. Unemployment fell from 12 percent to 3 percent. The United States held 42 percent of the world’s Gross National Product, now leaving Great Britain in the dust as the world’s top economy. Most impressive was the rise in wages. For the past 50 years, wages in America had failed to keep up with inflation. Half a century! The Harding boom set the pace for the next five decades. America dominated. More important, its young people were able to marry, buy real estate and start a family. By the time the average couple reached 30, there were already two or three—or more— children tugging on their mother’s apron. The streets were safe. So, too, were public schools, now the finest in the world. How did it happen? There were tax and spending cuts, but also trade protection and immigration reductions. The GOP of Harding’s day was protectionist. No wonder

With industries and products protected by stiff tariffs, both the city and the countryside boomed. After decades of debate, the 1920s saw deep cuts in legal immigration. In 1920, more than 800,000 mostly European immigrants came to America. In Harding’s first year, Congress slashed that number to 350,000. In 1924, when Coolidge ran for election

following Harding’s death, the numbers were cut down to 100,000. Even during the Depression 1930s and barbaric 1960s, wages for American workers increased on a steady basis. With the 1965 immigration bill and the free trade consensus of the postwar era, they have plummeted. Industries gone overseas, jobs at home going to immigrants. Fertility rates in America have dropped in half. Who

The Foundation’s mission is to save lives through breast health education that focuses on breast cancer prevention, early detection, risk reduction and healthy lifestyle choices. —Submitted by the Maurer Foundation can afford to have more than one or two children? Walters celebrates Harding as a decent, tolerant man. Anti-lynching legislation failed. By the early 1920s, however, that grisly practice was on the decline. Harding supported a Jewish state in the Middle East. He appointed Rabbi Joseph S. Kornfeld as the first Jewish minister to a foreign country, in this case, then-Persia. Harding’s achievements speak for themselves: 888 days of peace, prosperity, and a bid for justice. He also championed “Americanism,” echoing Theodore Roosevelt’s opposition to “hyphenated-Americans,” while also criticizing efforts to create voting blocs among certain ethnic groups. Here, Harding was well-meaning, but terribly naïve. The Jazz Age President is a solid read. Since World War II, the world of Harding and Coolidge has been rejected by both parties. The GOP that was once protectionist, isolationist and restrictionist has been, since the 1950s, free trade, open to mass immigration and eager to fight wars for democracy. So, too, are the Democrats, who indeed created that world during the administration of Harry Truman. There’s a better way. The America of Warren Harding represents the way home. Peace and prosperity. Yearly raises. Christmas bonuses. Couples with two or three children. What’s wrong with that? Call it America’s Lost Eden.

Sports Can Save The Conversation What do you do when those phenomenal discussions with friends and family suddenly turn on a dime into confrontational conversations? Well, someone needs to twist around that conversation for the sake of sanity. When I need a break from listening to everyone argue over who knows less about politics, I try to throw out some jokes. When they go over as well as burnt meatloaf, I’ll turn the conversation to sports. Why sports? Unless you bring up funding sports stadiums with taxpayer money or talk hockey with a Ranger and an Islander fan in the room, most people can relate to sports on some level while remaining calm. The key point is the discussion doesn’t need to dig deep into statistics or even the strategy of the game. For example, a few weeks ago, I was with a group of friends and neighbors at a backyard barbecue. Then it happened. The enjoyable conversations somehow turned into argumentative discussions. I refused to let the tone of the BBQ change from burgers, oysters and enjoyment. So I rudely, but with a respectful tone, interrupted the person who continued to ramble on about the same point. “… Hey, I was on the Cross Island the other day and passed by UBS Arena. Haven’t been inside yet, but it looks great with that brick front, and right next to Belmont Racetrack…” Joey, a guy I know from the neighborhood, jumped in. “The place is beautiful. I know they have other events, but I read that it’s one of the first hockey-specific arena designs in the NHL. Also has a better feel than the Nassau Coliseum.” Another guy, Matt, who is a construction engineer, entered the fray. “Hey, what about Citifield? I got to see the plans before it got built. Extremely cool idea and they nailed the design of Ebbets Field with the arched exterior and the canopied entrance. I heard they wanted the centerfield flagpole, but Barclays Center got it.” Another voice spoke up. Steve introduced himself as a financial consultant. “I know they raised the money with New York City municipal bonds, but Citigroup pays $20 million a year for the naming rights. And like any other MLB team, they got an amazing cash revenue stream from merchandise and broadcasting rights. The Mets are only behind the Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox, and

LONG ISLAND STORIES Thomas Kuntzmann

Giants in net worth at $2.6 billion.” My attempt to get back into the conversation got pushed aside by some girl drinking a Bloody Mary. “I go to a culinary school upstate and went to Yankee Stadium last week and watched the game from the monitors in The Jim Beam room. Then I sampled the Hawaiian food place and the vegetarian food around the stadium. Great food in the Bronx.” Jodi should check out Archer Avenue for Italian food. My point is that anyone can jump into a

sports conversation by relating their occupations to the same positions that exist with any sports franchise. Here’s another great example of me turning to sports in an attempt to squash an ugly conversation. Once again, the setting is a barbecue with Joe Reilly starting to get a little too loud. “I’m sick of replacing shocks every six months. With the money in this country the roads should be paved in gold, not potholes. Damn our politicians…” I stepped in with the first thing that came to mind. “Hey, how about those beautiful new fields next to Weldon E. Howitt in Farmingdale? Man, football and baseball field gems. You’d think they were moving the Mets and Yankees to Long Island.” Evan, an optometrist somewhere in Nassau County, put down his beer and spoke up. “Yeah, real nice. Tax dollars going for elite items not needed. Are these kids already playing professional sports in high school?” Then a voice came from another

guy who walks over and stands next to me. “That’s probably the kind of crap that gets voted into the budget that not enough people have the guts to vote the damn thing down.” That was my cue to get up and approach my buddy at the grill. “Hey Frank, how are those ribs coming?” Alright, that attempt may have blown up in my face, but with the right discretion, the turnaround to a sports discussion works. One last point. Don’t be deterred from turning around an argumentative conversation because you fear resistance from people who insist they don’t care about sports. Ironically, those are the same people that will go to their cousin or nephew’s game and find themselves yelling at the top of their lungs. What did you think of this story?

A Middle Road To Gun Reform The past month has been a sad one in light of the massacre of innocent people in both Buffalo, New York and Uvalde, TX. These two events have heightened the talk about reform of the nation’s gun laws. While there are multiple opinions, pro and con, on any solution to gun violence, if our members of Congress would follow the public opinion polls they would be able to muster the courage to do the right thing. Every time there is a gun-related tragedy, the news is dominated by the two loudest groups and no attention is paid to what the majority of Americans want. The opinion polls reveal that 10 percent of Americans want no changes to gun laws and the other 10 percent, want a ban on all gun sales. What the members of Congress ignore is that anywhere from 60 to 80 per cent of the public want meaningful changes in the law and that group includes gun owners. Since 1994, Congress has been unable to find a consensus on any revisions to the gun laws. The previous ban on the possession of assault weapons was allowed to expire, thanks to a flood of campaign contributions from the NRA. I have always viewed people like Senator

purchaser has a criminal record involving the use of a gun. Nor is it a violation of anyone’s rights to prevent people with mental issues from acquiring a gun. A number of these issues are covered by so-called red flag laws, which have been adopted in 21 states. Those laws permit police or family members to petition a state court to order the temporary removal of firearms from a person who may present a danger to others or themselves. INSIDE POLITICS New York State has a red flag law, Jerry Kremer but law enforcement officials have not always been diligent to Mitt Romney (R-UT), as a middle- use them, as was the case of the of-the road politician who might Buffalo shooter. have been president, with a better New York State is in the midst campaign. Regrettably, Romney of passing a law that will prevent has received more than $13 million sales of assault type weapons to in NRA contributions, which makes anyone under the age of 21. Is him an unlikely proponent of any there a chance for meaningful gun reforms. national gun reform this year?

LONG ISLAND WEEKLY

Phil Collen Of Def Leppard’s Fave Glam Acts DAVE GIL de RUBIO dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

eeing Ritchie Blackmore and Deep Purple may have cast the die for 14-year-old Phil Collen in terms of getting sucked into the world of playing music professionally, but it was glam rock that sucked in the future Def Leppard guitarist and the rest of his bandmates. “From ’71 to ’74 was [a music era] that kept popping up [throughout our band’s history],” Collen explained, “You start with the New York Dolls—I love Johnny Thunders’ guitar. And Steve Jones was the next generation of that. I

love Johnny Thunders and Steve Jones as much as I love Michael Schenker and Ritchie Blackmore, which I add all of that to my thing and I think you can have both. We absolutely did that. And Mick Ronson—a huge, huge influence all the way through.” That glam rock impact continues to this day right up through the recently released Diamond Star Halos, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers’ 12th studio album whose title is a lyric from the T. Rex 1971 hit “Bang a Gong (Get It On).” Recorded during most of 2020 into 2021, the 15 songs on this outing were fueled by the pandemic-forced isolation that allowed Collen and vocalist/writing partner Joe Elliott the freedom to indulge in what the former called “... the most creative period artistically that we’ve ever had.” With the Leps in-between labels at the time, the

UK quintet was able to stretch out and take changes ranging from bass player Rick Savage spending 12 hours recording a 12-string guitar part on the Collen gem “This Guitar” or getting bluegrass royalty Alison Krauss to duet with Elliott on this song along with the equally buoyant “Lifeless.” As a band notorious for taking years to pull albums together (Def Leppard’s prior album was a 2015 self-titled effort), the speed with which this outing was pulled together was both surprising and rewarding for Collen. “The creativity was unbounded,” he recalled. “When you go into a studio and are playing, people are waiting for you and vice versa. When we do the writing, we get to do it on our own time in our own little universe. I think if we had been in a regular recording studio, none of that would have happened. I can’t wait to do it again. I think we’re going to do it again next time

response to this and what we’re going to get out of it as a show. And also, what it represents. We all come from the same background. Everyone loved all those [glam] bands as well, so it’s a little celebration of that.” To that end, Collen shared with Long Island Weekly his favorite artists from that era of glitter. Def Leppard will be appearing on June 24 with Mötley Crüe, Poison and Joan Jett at Citi Field. Visit www.ticketmaster.com or call 800-745-3000 for more information.

Queen

(1970 to the present)

“What I’d been waiting to hear was hybrid between pop and rock. It was The Beatles meets Led Zeppelin. We’ve actually modeled ourselves on Queenmeets-AC/DC. So you have the power. And also, the backing vocals. When I sing, I kind of shout. It’s Sex Pistols. It’s Slade. I’ve always done that and I always felt there was an energy. AC/DC didn’t really have great backing vocals. They did when Mutt Lange sang them on the records. We actually have this energy—it’s not just guys singing harmony. It’s this power. Queen was that thing. Brian is unbelievable with what he did. He’s so underrated.”

The Sweet

(1968 to 1981; 1985 to the present)

“I love The Sweet. They started out as a pop band and all their early hits were written and recorded for them. They were this bad-ass band. Their drummer, Mick Tucker, could have been in Deep Purple if he wanted. He was just amazing. The whole band was a pop version of Uriah Heep. They had these vocals and great catchy songs.”

NYU School Of Medicine’s Inaugural Graduation

New class of 2022 doctors will help alleviate primary care physician shortage

YU Long Island School of Medicine celebrated its first graduating class of physicians this week, marking three years since the new medical school opened its doors, launching the nation’s first accelerated program devoted exclusively to training primary care physicians. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, the US is expected to be short of primary care physicians by upwards of 21,000 within a decade, and the school’s graduating students will contribute to alleviating that deficit. More than half of the physician graduates will remain in the greater New York and Long Island regions. NYU Long Island School is one of the first medical schools in the nation to be tuition-free—and the first on Long Island—following the tuition-free model of NYU Grossman School of Medicine in Manhattan, both under the auspices of NYU Langone Health. “NYU Long Island School of Medicine’s inaugural Class of 2022 is the realization of a bold vision to make medical school financially attainable and attract exceptional students into the field of primary care,” said Robert I. Grossman, MD, Dean and CEO of NYU Langone Health. “We hope that many of the graduating physicians will choose to practice on Long Island, keeping our communities healthy and helping NYU Langone Health expand upon our network of quality physicians across Long Island.” The physician graduates, totaling 20 in the Class of 2022, will practice in four primary care areas: family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, and OB/ GYN, along with general surgery. They will first fulfill their medical residencies, including those attending NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island, Johns Hopkins, Mass General, and other prestigious institutions to which they were accepted. By graduating from an accelerated three-year program, they begin these residencies a year earlier than those who graduated from a traditional fouryear medical school where students typically focus their final year on other specialties. Founding Dean Steven Shelov, MD, MS, gave the keynote at the ceremonies, commending the graduates: “All of you are empathic, patient, powerful listeners,

NYU Long Island School of Medicine Class of 2022 celebrates with Founding Dean Steven Shelov, MD and caring, kind, and humble, eager to bring out the best in yourselves. We in the leadership of NYU Long Island School of Medicine and NYU Langone Health are committed to you, our charter class, as you become exemplary physicians.” Also addressing the graduates at this year’s inaugural commencement were Gladys Ayala, MD, vice dean of NYU Long Island School of Medicine; Steven Carsons, MD, senior associate dean of Research at NYU Long Island School of Medicine; and Joseph Greco, MD, senior vice president and chief of Hospital Operations at NYU Langone Hospital— Long Island. NYU Long Island School of Medicine, which is located in Mineola on the campus of NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island, celebrated its Class of 2022 graduation at nearby Molloy College in Rockville Center. The graduates continued from there to Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, to join a collective graduation ceremony honoring all NYU 2022 graduates. To sustain its full-tuition scholarship initiative, NYU Long Island School of Medicine is supported by philanthropy as well as receiving support from NYU Langone Health. —NYU Long Island School of Medicine

Suchitha finished with a grade point average of 110.9, while Ruchitha earned a grade point average of 110.5. “I feel very grateful and very lucky, because I know our grade is very intelligent and talented in their own ways,” Suchitha said. “It was a pleasant surprise and I’m grateful to be a part of this district and for all of the opportunities that they provide for us.” Growing up together, the Channapatnas have been best friends to each other and pushed themselves to excel in everything. Both agreed that their personalities are different, which complements each other. “It was nice for us to have this honor together and it was really nice for us to see all of the hard work we put in starting to pay off,” Ruchitha said. Both scholars take part in many of the same clubs and organizations that includes the high school’s Regal Eagles Robotics team, science research and

Ruchitha said that those programs expanded their horizons and showed them that the possibilities are endless. “I think it’s been more fulfilling than challenging to participate in so many clubs and groups, because we enjoy everything that we do,” Ruchitha said. Suchitha agreed and added that each activity gives them something to look forward to. “Even though we spend a lot of hours on things like our science research project, it’s that goal of going to a competition and competing with the best that makes it all worthwhile,” Suchitha said. “We always keep a goal in sight so that it’s not a difficult task.” The twins thanked their friends, family, teachers and high school Principal Nicholas Jantz, District Director of Science Chris Pollatos, Director of Technology Andrew Choi and Robotics Club team adviser Leon LaSpina. They both plan to attend Massachusetts Institute of Technology this fall. Suchitha plans on studying mechanical or aerospace engineering. Ruchitha plans on studying biomedical engineering. —Bethpage School District

Commencement Speech Highlights 2022 Following two years of cancellations and virtual ceremonies, traditional commencements have returned to college campuses nationwide. As always, this year’s roster of speakers includes entertainers, politicians, athletes, CEOs, entrepreneurs, writers and other notable A-listers.

Here’s a sampling of famous speakers and their words of wisdom for the class of 2022

Kamala Harris, Tennessee State University

The vice president challenged fellow HBCU graduates to discover solutions for an “unsettled” world. Favorite Quote: “Here in the United States, we are once again forced to defend fundamental principles that we hoped were long settled—principles like the freedom to vote, the rights of women to make decisions about their own body, even what constitutes the truth.”

Billie Jean King, Springfield College

A tennis legend and pioneering champion for social change, gender equality, and LGBTQ+ rights, King spoke about the significance of 50 years of Title IX and encouraged graduates to be a “problem-solver and an innovator.” Favorite Quote: “As a gay woman, I was not comfortable in my own skin until I was 51 years old. You never really understand inclusion until you’ve been excluded. So don’t let others define you. You define yourself in your life.”

Taylor Swift, New York University

Is Your Backyard Summer Ready? Cast stone fountain

BY KAREN MUSGRAVE

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

In the warm months of summer, backyards become our outdoor living rooms. We hang out on the patio, barbeque, and enjoy time with friends and family. Although outdoor décor is often thought of as a table and chairs and maybe a lounge chair or two, there are tons of stylish elements you can add to create a spectacular space where you can relax, entertain, and enjoy a meal. Take your backyard from boring to beautiful with these décor ideas.

Add Sound

Create a quiet place where you can enjoy the sounds of nature instead of your neighbors and passing cars. The calming sound of water from a fountain or the musical sounds from windchimes instantly brings a Zen feeling into your outdoor space. If you are fond of birds, consider adding a bird feeder or birdbath so you can enjoy the sight and sounds of local songbirds as well.

Lighten Up

Enjoy your outdoor space deep into the night by adding lighting throughout your backyard. Solar lights are readily available and are a quick, no-hassle way to bring light to areas where you may not have access to electricity. Light sets can be strung through pergolas, along a fence or in the trees to create a sparkling backdrop. Well placed lanterns and candles near your pool, seating area, patio or dining table create a warm ambiance and make your garden feel like an extension of your house at night.

Outdoor lighting

Create Comfort

Think about how you will use the space and make it comfy! For dining areas choose comfortable chairs where you can enjoy long dinners with family and friends. Cushioned seating and lounge sets provide additional comfort for a relaxing afternoon by the pool. Tame the hot summer sun with large umbrellas and add an outdoor-friendly rug to create a more luxurious appearance. A fire pit will keep the party going into the cooler months of fall and spring. Sit back and enjoy the warmth of the fire in comfortable Adirondack chairs. Finish off

The New Hope Seating set at Hicks Nurseries your design with decorative pillows and wall decor in outdoor-friendly materials to warm up the space.

Plant Your Favorites

Choose stylish pottery in colors that match your décor and fill them with vibrant plants. For example, a palm plant and purple petunias create a tropical feel, while boxwood and red geraniums create a more classic look. The color combinations you choose should reflect your home and personal style. Make sure your outdoor planters have drainage holes and

choose plants that best fit your sunlight conditions. As summer gets underway, now is the time to create a backyard space that complements how you live and entertain. Bring the party outdoors with enjoyable sounds, proper lighting, creature comforts and colorful plants to make you feel like you’re on vacation in your own backyard. — Karen Musgrave is the marketing and e-commerce associate at Hicks Nurseries (100 Jericho Tpke., Westbury).

Top Seven Remodeling Don’ts Homeowners devote their spending to home remodeling projects BY TRESTON DUNN

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Home renovations have skyrocketed over the past year, but some projects are more worthwhile than others. Local homeowners are wasting money on the wrong projects that won’t pay off in the end.

“H

omeowners are redirecting their spending habits to make major changes to their homes, as opposed to spending money on their daily commute or on a family vacation,” said Window World Chairman and CEO Tammy Whitworth. “However, just because a project makes sense now doesn’t mean it will pay off down the road.”

Top Seven Remodeling Don’ts

Setting an unrealistic budget It pays to set aside extra money for your remodeling projects. Surprises pop up, and you don’t want to revisit projects later because of sub-par work now. Plan on spending an extra 15 to 20 percent of the total project cost—just in case.

Set a realistic budget

Being too trendy You may want what’s “new and now” in your home but think about resale value. What’s trendy today won’t necessarily be in style five years down the road. Consider classic designs and styles and get advice from a designer.

Don’t forget the garage

Only focusing on the inside Don’t forget about curb appeal. The outside of your home is the first thing buyers will notice. Spruce up your yard, power wash your house and replace your siding to boost your home’s curb appeal and resale value. Consider installing vinyl

siding, which is energy efficient, deters termites and resists cracking and surface scratches.

Backyarding Has A Purpose

Identify your backyard’s purpose, then build the yard of your dreams Backyarding—the trend to use the backyard for everything from tele-working and working out to relaxing and recreating—has a different purpose for each of us. Identifying your backyard’s role in your family’s health and happiness is the key to cultivating a purposeful outdoor space that is customized to your needs. “How do you a create a more purposeful outdoor space? First, you need to identify what type of ‘backyarder’ you are,” explained Kris Kiser, president and CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute and the TurfMutt Foundation. “Then, you can get to work in your yard with that idea in mind.” Here are just a few of the backyarding personality types. Which one are you?

Landscaper

Your yard makes neighbors green with envy. You know how to maintain a healthy living landscape all year long, and you have the latest outdoor power equipment to make even big jobs easier. You put the right plant in the right place, so your green space is always thriving.

Outdoor athlete

Forget basement workouts—you have an outdoor gym and exercise space that makes the neighborhood running club want to pit stop at your house. Your yard is the ideal place to stay active and inspire others to work out, too.

Work From Home Pro

Your work from home means nature is your background, and there’s no lag on the living landscape. The birds, squirrels and, yes, the dog your co-workers see on conference calls are all real. All you need is strong wi-fi, your nicest sweatpants, and a jacket for chilly morning meetings, and you’re ready for work.

Nature Lover

You know that nature starts at your own back door, and understand pollinator support and plant choice. You prefer to spend your free time in the urban habitat of your living landscape, watching the birds, bats, butterflies and other wildlife that count on your yard for food and shelter.

Kid Zone Creator

You know the safest place for young kids is in your own backyard, and you work hard to create an outdoor fun zone they will never want to leave. A flat area of sturdy turfgrass to play sports and pitch a tent? Check. Treehouse? Check. Zipline 10A | DESIGN & DÉCOR • JUNE 15 - 21, 2022

strung safely between backyard trees? Check. An elevated garden where they can help grow family meals? Check. Natural playscapes, like a patch of sand bordered by rocks and log stump seating? Check. “Fun” is your middle name, and you are winning at this game.

Pet Pamperer

Your focus is on Fido – no one knows your yard better – and you take cues from your four-legged friends about how to purpose your backyard. You’ve planted appropriate turfgrass that can stand up to pet play, and you’ve used soft foliage to create a natural barricade between “off limits” areas and the rest of the lawn. Trees

and shrubs are strategically planted for shade, and you’ve even set up a shallow water feature to help your pup cool off on hot days. Planting with purpose for you means keeping toxic plants out of the picture. (For a complete list, visit ASPCA’s list of non-toxic and toxic plants.

Entertainer Extraordinaire

Your backyard was the neighbourhood hot spot long before the pandemic made that trend posh. Family milestones, birthdays, graduations, reunions, socially distanced BBQs – your yard is *the* place to gather. Your yard is set up for success with patio furniture, fire pit, yard games,

plenty of outdoor seating, string lights, and maybe even an outdoor kitchen.

Zen Master

Your yard provides you and your family a place to be still and de-stress. Whether it’s coffee in the morning or yoga in the afternoon, you know that spending time outside is good for your health and well-being, and thanks to your yard these benefits are only steps away.

New Books In Design And Décor For some fresh concepts and inspiring project ideas, check out some of these new books on the shelves for home design, style and decor.

The New Design Rules

Whether you’re embarking on a weekend refresh or complete renovation, interior designer Emily Henderson wants you to take risks with your home design without experiencing regret. In this visually driven decorating bible punctuated with photographs from real homes and colorful illustrations, she takes you through her entire process, including every single decision she makes when it comes to picking paint, arranging furniture, hanging window treatments, and deciding on lighting fixtures. You’ll also learn when to hire a contractor versus an architect versus a handyperson, all the materials to consider (and why you might want to skip those marble countertops), proper measurements of the elements in each room, and so much more. By the end of the book, you’ll feel more confident when it comes to visualizing the home of your dreams, and you’ll finally know how to make it happen.

A Lovely Life

You might think that you need to make big changes to create a better life but it’s often the small, intentional, everyday decisions that shape our environment over time and bring sustained contentment and well-being. Savor the process. Melissa Michaels shows you how to cultivate a lovely life in each season: Spring—experience —experience renewal as you clean up and reimagine your spaces and learn to enjoy everything the outdoors has to offer. Summer—enjoy refreshment with a summer staycation, self-care nourishments and the delight of simple pleasures. Autumn—make room for reconnection when you decorate to reflect your family, style, and story; embrace gratitude; and adopt seasonal rhythms for body, mind and soul.

Welcome to the Jungle

If you’re bored with the same old entry-level houseplants and long for something new, up your game with Enid Offolter. Called “the Houseplant Queen” by The New York Times, Offolter and her company, NSE Tropicals, are celebrities within the rare plant community, with legions of obsessed Instagram followers and plants that sell in heated auctions for thousands of dollars. In Welcome to the Jungle, Offolter shows you how to grow and propagate some of these exceptional botanicals on your own. From the king anthurium with its deeply pleated leaves to velvety Colombian beauties known to make collectors drop to their knees, to plants with hot-pink leaves, bizarre corkscrew-shaped flower spikes, lacy fenestration, and dramatic variegation, these amazing aroids (a family of plants known for its extravagant foliage) bring a lush, tropical aesthetic to your home that will make you the envy of all your plant-loving friends. If you’re ready to rise up to the next level, Welcome to the Jungle is full of tips, professional advice, behind-the-scenes stories from fellow plant collectors, and the inspiration you need to grow plants that make a statement.

At Home on the Water

The idea of a retreat—a place removed from one’s daily stressors, a secluded haven to be enjoyed by family—is more appealing than it has been in decades. But second homes are far from a novel concept. Families have built retreats since the late 1800s, when the well-to-do began to construct reprieves in coastal areas to escape the combustive atmosphere of city life. Homes on the water have been coveted and cherished for their particular restorative qualities. In an oceanside house, one can’t help but pause to contemplate the view. At Home on the Water by Jaci Conry offers a history of coastal living and features 12 homes on the water on both coasts and the gulf. This stunning title focuses on both the design of the homes and the way the homeowners live in them, embellished by interviews with homeowners, designers and architects. —Book descriptions courtesy of the respective publishers and Amazon.

Tudor Excellence BY CHRISTY HINKO

chinko@antonmediagroup.com

Nestled in the brush on the shoreline of Lloyd Harbor stands Panfield, the magnificent estate of Bernadette Castro, heir to Castro Convertibles, as in modern-day furniture pioneers of the pull-out sofa. The company is still in existence today, with their relaunched product line of pull-out ottomans, sold online and through the Home Shopping Network (HSN). Castro became a sensation at the age of four as the company’s spokesmodel for demonstrating how easy the Castro Convertible sofa was to use.

astro, who served as commissioner of the New York Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation from 1995 to 2006, has since redirected her successful talents of stewardship back to her Panfield estate. The Tudor revival/Jacobean designed estate totaled 299 acres when it was originally built for Albert Goodsell and Margery Robbins Milbank in 1915 by John

Mead Howells. Milbank was an attorney, a founder of the present-day Manhattan firm Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy, with notable clients such as the Rockefeller family and the Chase Manhattan Bank. His wife was an artist, originally from Pennsylvania. In 1957, Salvatore Giordano, Sr., former CEO and executive chairman of Fedders Corporation, the home air conditioning pioneers, took ownership of the estate and

subdivided most of the property. In the late 1960s, Bernard Castro went house hunting with his daughter, her husband and their nine-month-old baby “in the country”. Castro said, “We could not afford a mortgage, and knew we wanted to get my parents involved in the purchase of a family home.” She remembers being in the real estate office and seeing her father’s interest pique when he spotted a photo of Panfield in the broker’s file drawer. “He asked, ‘What’s that?’ and I remember looking at my mother and thinking, ‘Uh-oh!’,” said Castro. My father never even went upstairs to see the rest of the house before making the offer to buy the estate,” said Castro. “We walked in

the front door of Panfield and he [Bernard] was in love; it reminded him of everything grand in Europe.” She does not recall ever seeing any other homes in the process of their house hunting. “Panfield might have been the first and only home we saw,” said Castro. The home was nearly empty except for a few pieces of furniture, left over from the Milbank and Giordano families. Bernard insisted that the sale of the house include all that remained inside the home and the remaining two acres of property. The Castros recovered some of acreage, which now totals more than five. “Milbank was an active Protestant,” said Castro. “Panfield reflects some of those characteristics.”

Panfield boasts 25 rooms and more than 13 bathrooms. Every room has a stone or marble fireplace. The floors are glorious maple and many of the walls are oak-lined. “The foyer of Panfield is the wow factor of this home,” said Castro. And it is. Its symmetric, oak-lined walls stretch more than 30 feet and are adorned with hand-painted portraits of the Castro family and some of its descendants, all meticulously captured by Dutch painter Kenneth Van Rensselaer. She confesses she loves all of the rooms in the home, each has its own appeal and brings joy for different reasons. “The living room is most special because it’s where all of the grandkids hang out when they visit,” said Castro, mother of four and grandmother to eight. “Panfield is a grand ol’ girl with lots of good karma,” she said, adding “One of the best memories of the house has to be when my parents and my husband were alive and we’d have the big family Christmases.” And with such a generous size family, it’s easy to have no less than 24 people at the table without even trying. “Another of my favorite memories in this home is when Panfield played host to my daughter Terri’s wedding; it was beautiful,” gushes Castro. “And my everyday favorite thoughts of Panfield are as simple as the time I spend sitting in the library doing my morning prayers.” Since returning back from her 12-year assignment in state office, Castro has returned her focus to the preservation

and restoration of Panfield. “Panfield was patiently waiting for me to come home,” she said. “And I love historic preservation and architecture.” Despite its elegance, Castro confides that Panfield has been a regular home to her family, noting that many paper airplanes have been launched toward the chandeliers. “To me, Panfield is a family legacy,” said Castro. “I don’t know if any of my children would want to take over Panfield; they have different lives and love to travel. Young people today want to button things up and move on.” Panfield is her project of love right now, and especially noting the living room ceiling. “It reminds me of an Italian villa, aged and unperfect,” she said. “It speaks to me; I intentionally do not want to restore it.” Castro said her father was also a architectural purist and preservationist. Bernard built an indoor pool house onto one of the wings of the home. He left the exterior of the house intact. “If a purist comes along to buy this house one day and decides to restore it to its original elements, the home’s stucco exterior and windows are all still in place.” Castro said for now, she is content at Panfield and will continue with her preservation of the home and community. “I look at Panfield as doing my part” said Castro. “I have served the state through stewardship and now I am the steward of Panfield.”

Founding Dean Receives Honorary Degree

he Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/ Northwell celebrated its eighth commencement ceremony on May 9. The event took place at the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex at Hofstra University. Taking the next giant step in realizing their dreams, 98 graduates from the Class of 2022 became the nation’s newest doctors and scientists to join the field of medicine; however, they were not the only ones with degrees in hand. To his surprise and delight, founding dean Lawrence G. Smith, MD, MACP, was awarded an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from the institution he helped establish. The distinct honor was presented by Hofstra University Board of Trustees Chair Donald M. Schaeffer and conferred by Hofstra University President Susan Poser. “Dr. Smith has brought creativity, insight and humanity to the practice of medicine and to medical education,” said Poser. “He has always believed medicine must be practiced with a deep understanding of the patients and community being served. These values define the Zucker School and its ground-breaking curriculum.” Launched in 2008 through a unique partnership between Hofstra University and Northwell Health (then known as North Shore-LIJ Health System), the Zucker School of Medicine was the first new allopathic medical school in New York in more than 35 years. “When we were asked to build a new medical school, we said it would not be like the older medical schools; it will be all about learning, not teaching,” recalled Smith, noting the school’s unique learning environment and patient-centered approach to medical education. “We integrated physiology, anatomy, basic science, and clinical medicine. Our students see real patients and have gained their confidence because you can’t be a doctor if patients don’t trust you.” In addition to his role as dean, Smith served as Northwell Health’s chief medical officer from 2006 to 2011 before assuming the role of physician-in-chief until December 2021. During his tenure, the founding dean led the institution through significant milestones and achievements, including full accreditation from the Liaison Commission on Medical Education (LCME) in 2015. Under Smith’s leadership, the Zucker School also focused on diversity and community service. A student-run clinic in Queens provides quality healthcare in one of the most

diverse urban areas in the nation, and the school’s Medical Scholars Pipeline Program provides an educational pathway for students from underrepresented groups to pursue health care careers. Smith will become dean emeritus upon his retirement at the end of this year. He will be succeeded by Dr. David Battinelli, MD, who is vice dean of the Zucker School of Medicine. The commencement ceremony was presided by Poser, Smith and Michael Dowling, president and CEO of Northwell Health. With newly conferred degrees in hand, the emboldened graduates from the Class of 2022 are up to fulfilling the school’s mission to lead and transform medicine for the betterment of humanity.

Eight additional students from the Class of 2022 were conferred with dual degrees. Six graduates received their MD/ PhD, including New Hyde Park resident Ashley Barlev, MD, PhD. Barlev, who will begin her residency in pathology and laboratory medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania this summer, is proudly following in her family’s footsteps. “My father and sister are physicians. They were part of my inspiration for pursuing medicine.” An ambitious and diverse group, the Class of 2022 consists of 46 women, 52 men, 10 first-generation individuals and 19 students who are underrepresented in medicine (URM). —Hofstra University

Plaza College School Of Nursing Ribbon Cutting Ceremony Plaza College introduced its School of Nursing to the Queens community with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on May 6, a day also nationally celebrated as “Nurses Day”. Elected leaders and school officials gathered with the college’s first cohort of students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program for tours of the Center for Healthcare Simulation and presentations by Queens Borough President Donovan Richards and Helen Arteaga Landaverde, CEO of NYC Health and Hospitals/Elmhurst. “It is not every day that we cut the ribbon on a new initiative, one as significant as this, and it began in 1916 with our founders with a vision for bringing career preparation to communities, particularly to women, during the onset of American involvement in World War I and 106 years later, we have become quite a bit more complicated and sophisticated,” Plaza College Provost Charles Callahan IV said. “I think our founders would agree that we’re on the right track.” Nursing is Plaza’s fourth baccalaureate degree program. The 16-month program is designed as an upper-division program whereby students will apply 60 previously earned credits to 60 core nursing credits to complete the degree. It’s the first nursing program of its kind to be introduced in Queens in decades. “It’s great that students in Queens no

Plaza Nursing longer have to travel to other boroughs for a program like this. It is now in our backyard. This is more than just about simply a ribbon-cutting; it’s about upward mobility, you know, the jobs of the future, giving our communities, communities of color and an opportunity a pathway into the middle class,” said Queens Borough President Donovan Richards. “And that’s what you’re preparing. That’s what Plaza College is doing today.” Richards also touted the diversity of the cohort of students as a true representation of the borough, which is the most diverse county in the world. As the students complete their studies and prepare to enter the workforce, this is especially significant for the local

healthcare organizations with which Plaza partners for clinical rotations and future workforce placement for graduates. Those partners include a number of specialized children’s and psychiatric hospitals, long term care and nursing organizations and major medical centers, including Elmhurst Hospital. “These individuals sitting right next to me, they decided to be courageous and give their time and passion and tears and sweat because those nursing books are hard and they decided I’m going to be courageous and I’m going to give back and have an impact,” Helen Arteaga Landaverde, MPH, CEO of NYC Health and Hospitals/Elmhurst said. —Plaza College

Leapin’ Lizards

urking in my chopped wood pile, on my cool concrete landing and in the ivy canopy of my backyard in New Hyde Park are dozens of little lizards, Italian wall lizards to be exact. The experience catches me off guard each spring when they emerge. Here’s a little backstory about these miniature Meditteranean monsters from the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). Also known as the ruin lizard, the Italian wall lizard is not native to New York. Originally from the Mediterranean area, it was introduced around 1967 in the Town of Hempstead, most likely the result of an accidental escape from a captive population believed to be from Rome, Italy. It adapted well to urban and suburban settings, and is now permanently established on western Long Island and in isolated pockets in New York City as far north as the Bronx. Italian wall lizards are active in New York from April to October. Their diet consists primarily of insects. During the winter months they become inactive and have little freeze tolerance. As such, they are not likely to spread much further north. Breeding takes place during the spring and summer. House cats and some species of birds are believed to be their main predators. While adult Italian wall lizards are highly variable in color and pattern, they are generally tan with green on the head, neck, and most of the upper body. Younger lizards are duller with no green and have distinct dorsal stripes. In addition, their underside is white and they may have various dark markings on the body. Males are larger than females.

Escape Artists

Lizards have a unique way of escaping capture—their tails break off when grasped by potential predators such as snakes, birds, mammals and even other lizards. Muscles within an unattached tail then cause it to twitch for several minutes, hopefully distracting a predator’s attention long enough to allow the lizard to escape. The tail will regenerate, but it will not obtain the length or color of the original tail. Although natural range expansion associated with an invasive species undoubtedly helped the dispersal of the Italian wall lizard, deliberate relocation of individuals from the core population is likely responsible for their rapid spread in the last 10 years. Release of these lizards, or any wildlife, is illegal without a permit. While often well-intentioned, such releases can introduce diseases to native wildlife populations and upset natural predator-prey relationships that have evolved over millennia. —Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and Christy Hinko

to hold elections when people tend to come out to vote.” Another major issue that was discussed at the press conference was the peculiar timing of this proposal—it was not brought up until very recently, when the legislative session was coming to a close. “To try to pass this at the last minute, when the legislature will adjourn next week, is wrong,” Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine said. This delicate point seems to bring in some flexibility from the Democrats that have proposed this bill. The idea of tabling this matter until next January has been discussed. Many agreed they do not want to push things in an untimely manner and are willing to make this concession to ensure that this has the public support they feel it deserves.

“So I don’t want to do it in a way that people feel that it was inappropriate or that it’s not fair,” Jacobs said. “I want it to be fair, but it is the right thing to do,” he explained, still supporting this election move. “If you believe in democracy, which means you want more people to vote, rather than less people to vote, it’s as simple as that.” Though Jacobs had pushed for the passage of the bill, it failed to come out of the Senate and Assembly’s Elections Committees for a floor vote in the final rush to complete the legislative session. The issue is tense on both sides of the aisle, with both parties believing that they are right in this manner. In the Senate, Kevin Thomas of Levittown was a co-sponsor. The primary sponsor was James Skoufis of the Mid-Hudson region. Main Assembly sponsors included Judy Griffin (D–Rockville Centre) and Gina Sillitti (D–Manorhaven).

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 15 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

The name game

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Because you’re well-aware that knowledge is not wisdom, people sounding certain in their recitation of dogma will have no influence on your decision making this week. You will, however, make very wise choices based on your many experiences in a particular arena.

Solution: 15 Letters

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Traditional thinking suggests, before anyone can show the way, one must know where they’d like to go. However, an excellent guide can provide both the route and the destination. You’ll meet such a person this week. Trust is key in this relationship. It will be wise to put your guide to the test before you embark.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People tell you who they are in dozens of ways at once, which might be confusing or overwhelming for someone less experienced, but not for you. You’re excellent at reading people, a skill that will continue to serve you well this week. You’ll enjoy meeting new people while navigating to a viable new situation. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Those claiming to have a “great opportunity for you” maybe see you as a great opportunity for them. The best opportunities are open to only those who recognize them. You’re such a person, looking out for qualities and conditions not obvious to all. You’ll see them coming together like gathering clouds, and then act. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your beliefs, which are based on the best information you have in a given moment, will inevitably change as the world does. There’s no shame in this. Values, on the other hand, withstand the tests of time. Love, tenderness, beauty, harmony and teamwork are values represented in your week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Sometimes you seek spoilers because the tension of not knowing is too much. An experience can still be surprising even when you have a rough idea where it’s going. So do what you must to make yourself comfortable. Attaining the right amount of knowledge going into a situation can be a form of self-care. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If you’re looking for a way to prove your brightness to yourself, try this one: Find something in the boring minutiae to be curious about. Anyone can be interested in the obvious amusements and headlines, but it takes an especially bright mind to be interested in what seems to most to be inherently dull. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll pitch your ideas. Some get it. Others are puzzled or amused. Don’t worry too much. All ideas start as inconceivable. Most good ones are considered in their infancy to be laughable and ridiculous. Surround yourself with minds you admire. If you can’t find them in person, then you can in books. Keep going.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS:

An increased awareness of your spiritual nature is your cosmic birthday gift, along with a feeling of peace and radiant calm that makes all around you feel safe and secure. Your business, attention and help will be in high demand this year. You’ll find a way to support many at once. Other highlights include: a spending spree of extremely useful items that help you make more money, traveling for love and an unlikely pairing that successfully extends the reach of both parties.

STREET, 41st

Solution: Trends come and go

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Things will have a way of escalating if that’s what will get your attention. So, to prevent the drama, pay attention to small things. Fix the problem while it’s small. And when others need you, though it’s not a problem, it’s also something better to tend to when the need is still reasonably small.

olution: Trends come and go

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People need one another; it’s true. And it’s just as true that there are limits to interdependence, past which a relationship becomes an unhealthy tie better described as co-dependent. The question will pop up: Is one person leaning too hard on the other? See what happens when one walks away; there’s the answer.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You might be surprised at how incurious the world can be and how often interesting people go ignored. It will be a theme of the week. It will take some daring but go ahead and ask the question on your mind. You will be well-received. When all is said and done, people long to be recognized.

HOROSCOPES By Holiday Mathis HOROSCOPES

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Unrealistic expectations are often the cause of disappointment, and sometimes the cause of marked improvements and magical transformations. It’s too early to tell what’s going to happen. Keep dreaming the impossible dream. It just might be what everyone needs.

Bidding quiz You are South, and the bidding has gone: North East South West 1♦ Pass 1♠ Pass 2 NT Pass ? What would you bid now with each of the following four hands? 1. ♠ AQ95 ♥ AQ7 ♦ K4 ♣ 9843 2. ♠ Q983 ♥ J2 ♦ Q5 ♣ J9643 3. ♠ KQ1064 ♥ Q97 ♦ 5 ♣ AQ62 4. ♠ KQ854 ♥ AQJ72 ♦ J4 ♣ 8 ***

1. Six notrump. Bidding is a highly specialized language where partners agree in advance that certain bids in certain circumstances have certain specific meanings. The vocabulary of bidding is very limited — the four suits, the numbers one through seven, the words “notrump,” “double,” “redouble” and “pass” — and yet, proper use of these fifteen terms can perform wonders. In the present case, partner has shown a balanced hand of 18 or 19 points for his two-notrump bid. He presumably wouldn’t have jumped to two notrump with less, because he knows that your one-spade response might have been based on only six points. Added to your 15 points, this gives your side the requisite 33 points needed to make six notrump a very sound contract. 2. Pass. You are not required to

continue bidding over two notrump, so the safest thing to do is pass. It could be that a partscore in clubs is a safer contract, but partner can’t pass if you bid three clubs, leaving two notrump as the only realistic alternative. 3. Three clubs. Slam is certainly a possibility, but the best slam is apt to lie in a suit rather than in notrump. Three clubs allows for partner to show three-card spade support, if he has it, or to raise clubs if he has four cards in that suit. If he does support one of your suits, you can try for slam by bidding four notrump (Blackwood) next. If partner bids three notrump over three clubs, indicating lack of interest in either of your suits, you should pass. 4. Three hearts. Here, too, there is a strong possibility of slam, but first you should find out if partner can freely support either of your suits. If he does by now bidding three spades or four hearts, you should check for aces via Blackwood next. If partner retreats to three notrump over three hearts, you can try for slam by leaping to five hearts (invitational to six) at your next turn. Partner should pass five hearts with something like ♠ Jx ♥ Kxx ♦ AKQx ♣ KQxx, but should carry on to six with ♠ J10 ♥ Kxx ♦AKxx ♣AKxx.

What could be more overwhelming than arranging a funeral when a loved one has died? An endless list of decisions, the “whens and wheres”, and all at an emotionally difficult time. If only it could be taken care of at one place, at one time.

There are many ways we have worked to let our caring show. Designated parking, specially designed restrooms and extended ramps to allow for easy wheelchair access are several important ways. We believe efforts like this make life easier for the 40 million disabled people across America. And, even if it helps only one person in our own community, then it has been worthwhile.

MacArthur Lacrosse Reaches Back-To-Back Final Fours

JAMES ROWAN

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

t was a bitter end to an incredible journey. The MacArthur boys lacrosse team lost in overtime to Calhoun in the Nassau County semifinals at Hofstra’s Shuart Stadium. For the 16 MacArthur seniors, it was the final act in a career that won’t be forgotten any time soon. “This will be a team that will be forever remembered as the team that got us to two consecutive Final Fours,” MacArthur head coach John Nessler said. “They left the program in a better place than they found it. They paved the way for our future Generals and led by example.” In addition to being the first MacArthur team to reach back-to-back Nassau County Final Fours, they accomplished so much. While they lost their sophomore season to the COVID-19 pandemic, these Generals went 9-5 in 2021 and 12-5 in 2022. The 12-win campaign was the most in a season since Nessler took over as head coach in 2016. Of the team’s five losses this season, four were by one goal. That includes a 1211 loss to Class A Nassau County champion Port Washington. MacArthur’s Class B semifinal match-up against Calhoun came just two weeks after MacArthur beat the Colts, 11-8, in the regular season. MacArthur, the second-seed, drew a first-round playoff bye. They opened the post-season at home in the quarterfinals and defeated Herricks, 18-7. The semifinal game was an intense, back-and-forth affair. Neither team could establish momentum. The game was tied 4-4 at halftime, 7-7 at the end of the third quarter and 9-9 at the end of regulation. James Hegel (3), Joey Forchelli (2), Rocco Hogan (2), Patrick Cheswick and Matt Papach all scored for the Generals. Hegel scored his third goal of the game off a feed from Papach to give MacArthur a 9-8 lead with 4:15 left to play. The action on the field remained relentless, with each team pressuring the other in the final moments. Steven Weber made a brilliant point-blank save with 39 seconds left to preserve the lead. Twice the Generals possessed the ball in the final minute but what appeared penalties during the MacArthur clear went unnoticed by the officials. Calhoun just kept coming and Alex Vieni scored on a laser of a shot with 6.8 seconds left, forcing the game into overtime. Early in the extra session, Calhoun’s A.J.

Suddenly, the season was over. “Calhoun was a tough opponent,” Papach said. “The game was back and forth, we battled, but in the end, we lost.” Added Nessler, “They played with heart. Our kids wore their hearts on their sleeves and they never gave up. They would play till exhaustion and that’s all we could ask for.” The season-long effort did not go unnoticed. The Generals received numerous post-season awards, including six players earning All County honors. The All County players are: Michael Cassano (defense), Nick Del Grosso (defensive midfield), Hegel (attack), Ryan Larkin (defense), James Napoli (midfield) and Papach (midfield).

Face-off specialist Connor Cullen and goalkeeper Steven Weber were named Honorable Mention All County. Long stick midfielder Luca Runyan was named All Conference. The commitment this team made to the lacrosse program will forever endear them to the coaching staff. “This is more than a special group of lacrosse players,” Nessler said. “This was the team that bought in from day one and did everything that was ever asked of them no matter how hard or ridiculous it may have seemed. When I took over in 2016, these boys were in middle school and not even old enough to play for Salk. They came to the open nets, they played an advanced summer schedule, they played up during winter and summer leagues. I’ve grown to

know each and every one of them as men. They have grown into responsible young men. To me, that’s the best part.” The bond forged through training and competition was not lost on the players. “This felt like more than just a team,” defenseman Sean Napoli said, ”My MacArthur teammates and coaches were more like a family” Added his brother, James Napoli: “It has been a privilege to be a part of the varsity lacrosse team with Coach Nessler for the past four years. The Generals have been a big and important part of my life. I have played lacrosse with some of these guys since we were little. They are my brothers and I am going to miss playing with them. It’s hard to believe it’s over.” The Generals will be well-represented on college lacrosse fields next year. Cullen and the Napoli triplets—Sean, Mark and James—will all be playing at the University of Bridgeport. Weber will play at SUNY Maritime. Del Grosso at Limestone and Papach at Wingate. Luca and Cian Runyan will be playing at Adelphi. John Rebaudo will play at Seton Hill. Larkin and Hegel will compete at Nassau Community College and Vinny Butrico will play at Marist. Nessler credited the players and his staff with a tireless work ethic. It paid dividends on the field and in the community, shaping these players to be top lacrosse players, but also role models. “Being the best player on the field comes with a ton of sacrifice, and commitment,” Nessler said. “We call it ‘working in the dark.’ When the lights aren’t shining on you, what are you doing to get better? We have a group of kids that worked extremely hard at their craft. Whether it was in the gym with our track coach Matt Bocksel, or out on the field in the hot sun with assistant coach Ryan Walsh, they were pushing themselves. My coaches—Walsh, Jim Kern, Will Acerenza, Travis Cooksey, and Mike Nelson—are second to none and for that I am forever thankful. I have two young boys myself that have been around our program since they could walk. They idolize these young men for what they do not only on the field, but in their personal lives as well. They are tremendous young men, and that, to me, speaks volumes over any award or record they could ever achieve. We use the moniker of ‘Once A General, Always A General’ all of the time. That stands true for not only this senior group, but for all of our past and present Generals. This group of boys will be forever my guys.” —James Rowan in an Anton Media Group contributor.
