TOP STORY

Coming Of Age With The Devils You Knew Seventies suburbia and youth sports collide in forthcoming documentary

DAVE GIL de RUBIO dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

t was the best of times. It was the worst of times. So it went in Levittown circa 1971 and 1972, when the Red Devils, a 27-member traveling team of football players ranging from the ages of eight through 13, were busy compiling a 20-1 record as back-to-back champions of the L.I.M.F.L. (Long Island Midget Football League). The team’s dominance enabled them to outscore their opponents in a two-year span by a margin of 443-69. Meanwhile, their fathers, many of whom were blue-collar laborers predominantly working as cops, firemen, construction workers and any mix of civil servant, were commuting to and from New York City as the Big Apple was entering rapid decay and declining quality of life. It’s a story filmmakers Douglas Scott Delaney and Gaille Pike are trying to capture via the forthcoming documentary The Devils You Knew. And while the initial impression of this project that’s been three years in the making might be of a bunch of old men reliving their tween glory days on the gridiron, Delaney knows there is a far bigger story here that he personally lived through. “When I started this, people were saying no one gave a [damn] about kids football and they said why did I think people cared—because we had a good team?,” he said. “That’s a good point because there are teams in Texas that haven’t lost a game in 20 years. But this isn’t Texas—it’s New York in 1971. It was a special time, special place and special team.” Overseeing this immensely successful program was a quartet of coaches—John Dybus, Rich Festante, Jim Tintle and Robert Perpall, the latter of whom would get inducted into the Nassau County High School Athletics Hall of Fame thanks to his work with the Seaford School District football program that yielded a pair of Long Island Championships and eight Nassau County titles. The Devils’ powerhouse reputation came from the fact that Levittown’s corner of the L.I.M.F.L. was able to draw from a wealth of willing and able aspiring young athletes fueled by the community’s age demographic, a fact Delaney reaffirmed during a recent visit with local historian Paul Manton.

Surviving members of the Red Devils 1971-72 crew. Documentarian Doug Delaney is fifth from right. (Photo by Chris Cassidy) “Manton said something fascinating which was [that] in 1969, the age of the average Levittowner was 12,” Delaney said. “No other community in the world had that demographic. You were packed with kids and every kid played sports. And all their fathers coached sports. So the talent pool from Levittown was so enormous.” The result was that roughly 300 kids were trying out for 27 spots on the Red Devils travel team. But rather than send the kids home who didn’t make the cut, Tintle and company divided those numbers into anywhere from six to nine town teams. Players were designated by age and weight, so you could have a large 10-year-old playing up with 12-year-olds while a smaller 12-year-old might play

with the 10-year-olds, ensuring there was a degree of fairness when the ensuing teams would play each other round robin style. The best team eventually played the travel team as part of that season’s All Star game. It was a way for the coaches to evaluate talent with what was an ad-hoc farm system. And while 10-yearold Delaney didn’t make it past the first tryout (“I was devastated”), he did make it the following year. It was then that he discovered the secret sauce to the Red Devils’ gridiron dominance—a quartet of coaches that challenged their charges to rise to greatness via grueling practices, having them learn complex offensive and defensive packages and uncompromising discipline. “At that time, we were running a

pro-set, NFL offense at 11 that Coach Perpall brought into us with a thick playbook,” Delaney recalled. “Every other coach said us kids weren’t ready for this and he asked why not and why don’t we find out if they are or aren’t [up to the task]. We had skull sessions, drill sessions—repetition and rote. Basics. Basics. Basics. And I’m talking seriously about John Rogan, a quarterback doing a triple fake reverse, dropping back 15 yards and throwing a 50-yard pass and hitting a guy in stride into the end zone. Kids didn’t do that back then.” The Red Devils took their dominance down south for a memorable tilt against the Maryland All-Stars that had the Long Islanders delivering a 54-0 beatdown. It once again came down to numbers. “Every town had [a football program like ours],” Delaney explained. “If you think about the level of local competition at the time, Long Island would have been the 11th largest state in the country. If you’re the best on Long Island, I figure that’s a New Jersey State championship.” Currently in production, The Devils You Knew is slated for release in October 2023, just in time for the football season with a screening slated for one of the Levittown high schools. With roughly 16 sit-down interviews slated for October of this year, Delaney and Pike came out from their Reading, KS, home for a visit that included further research and a project fundraiser held at Mr. Beery’s in Bethpage on June 12. In addition to shooting footage and raising money and awareness for the film, the event served as a mini-reunion for these former players and their families 50 years after the fact. The resonance of this small window of time was especially apparent to Delaney five decades on. “I saw 62-year-old men crying for a few minutes where they would stop, think of something and then turn around,” the filmmaker said. “To a man, they said they would go through walls for these [coaches]. It’s about the legacy of these four men—Festante, Tintle, Dybus and Perpall—who changed everybody’s lives. When you saw 13 62-year-old guys—a lot of us busted up—walk across that practice field that we’d not been on in 50 years—my cameraman said he got chills. He said he knew what I was doing and I said this was what it was about. That’s moving to me.” Visit www.thedevilsyouknew.com or email fortysixtrap@gmail.com for more information about the film.

Hicksville Water District Conducts Leak Detection Survey District repairs eight out of nine detected leaks

he Hicksville Water District (HWD) recently conducted a comprehensive leak detection survey to report on potential leaks occurring within portions of its distribution system. Leaks in the distribution system can easily go undetected, as the water mains are several feet below the surface. Through these efforts, the district identified the locations of nine leaks, eight of which received immediate repairs. This will keep thousands of gallons of water from escaping the water mains. “Maintaining our infrastructure is a vital component of what makes the Hicksville Water District run effectively,” HWD Chairman Nicholas Brigandi said. “Our community invests a great deal of money into our water and the last thing we want to do is waste it. This is especially the case during the spring and summer with water usage at its peak, making it as important as ever that we do not

let any water go unused.” The district contracted New York Leak Detection, Inc. (NYLD) to conduct the survey, which involved inspecting fire hydrants, in-line main valves and service valves. The company was able to identify the source of nine leaks, reporting back to the district with recommendations on how to remedy the issues. These leaks were resulting in 58,250 gallons of water lost per day, which would equate to 21.3 million gallons per year. Leak detection is the art and science of using non-intrusive methods to search for, find and mark-out leak locations on pressurized pipelines. There are innumerable variables involved in locating underground utilities, such as topography, size and complexity of job site, depth and proximity of buried utilities, above ground obstructions, short turnaround schedules, changes in the scope of work, lack of (or outdated)

blueprints and adverse weather conditions. NYLD used three types of equipment during the survey, including an RD8000 Pipe & Cable Locator, an LC2500 Leak Correlator and an S-30 Surveyor. The LC2500 Leak Correlator, coupled with acoustic testing, was used to determine leak locations. Suspected leak sources were discovered by finding correlations between contact points. This aided NYLD in showing the district where exactly it would need to work in order to fix individual leaks, greatly increasing the efficiency with which the District could solve the problem. Leak detection surveys help the HWD to maintain its infrastructure, further ensuring that residents continue to receive top-quality service while conserving as much water as possible. —Submitted by the Hicksville Water District

Plainview Water District Secures State Grant Funding Community to receive more than $19.2 Million for water treatment infrastructure projects

he Plainview Water District (PWD) was recently awarded an additional $19.2 million in funding as part of New York State’s Water Infrastructure Improvement Act (WIIA). To date, these awards are the largest round of WIIA grant funding since the program was created in 2017 with a total of more than $638 million statewide and more than $250 million to Long Island alone. The Plainview Water District has now secured in excess of $28 million in grants from New York State over the past five years to help alleviate costs associated with constructing state-of-theart water treatment facilities to remove emerging contaminants. “We are thankful to Governor Hochul and the state representatives that have made this funding available so we can continue our mission of providing our residents with the highest quality water possible,” PWD Chairman Marc Laykind said. “The Plainview Water District is proud of the significant progress we have made on our treatment facilities and are thrilled that 100 percent of this grant money will

be used to cover costs associated with past and present infrastructure improvements to treat emerging contaminants.” The Plainview Water District currently has six advanced oxidation process (AOP) treatment systems in use across its service territory. These systems, when coupled with granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration tanks, are the only approved method of removing 1,4-dioxane from the public

drinking water supply. Securing over $28 million in grant funding has been crucial to help absorb some of the costs to construct treatment facilities at impacted plant sites throughout the district. “We have been relentless in our pursuit of constructing new treatment facilities to improve our public water system as well as identifying every possible avenue for funding,” PWD Commissioner Amanda Field said. “We appreciate the significant investment New York State is making into the Plainview-Old Bethpage community, and we are certainly grateful for their assistance in ensuring we are in the position to continue delivering high quality water to our residents.” The Clean Water Infrastructure Act of 2017 seeks to invest $2.5 billion in wastewater and drinking water projects and water quality protection across New York State. It provides at least $1 billion for the New York State WIIA, which assists municipalities in funding water quality infrastructure. To date, $775 million in Water Infrastructure Improvement Act and Intermunicipal

Grant funding supports nearly $2.7 billion in total project costs for vital drinking and wastewater infrastructure projects statewide. “We are very appreciative of all of the support from our region’s elected officials for prioritizing the funding needed to lower the capital costs of these infrastructure investments,” PWD Commissioner Andrew Bader said. “This is exciting news for the Plainview community as current and future residents will continue to enjoy water that meets or surpasses some of the strictest water quality standards in the nation for generations to come.” For further information, or if you have any questions, email info@plainviewwater. org, visit www.plainviewwater.org or call the district at 516-931-6469.

NEIGHBORS IN THE NEWS

Beyond The Badge Grand Opening

Field Upgrades Unveiled At Rededication Of John Walker Park In Hicksville Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilwoman Michele Johnson and Councilwoman Vicki Walsh recently unveiled safety upgrades and other improvements at Hicksville’s John Walker Park. The improvements included replacement of an existing 120,000 square-foot multi-purpose field that hosts local football, soccer and lacrosse games. The synthetic field was beyond its useful life and worn out from years of playtime. Additionally, the park was reconfigured to include a new 60-foot baseball diamond, allowing for expanded play opportunities for Little Leaguers. “To protect the well-being of young athletes as they return to our fields, we made upgrades to John Walker Park with an emphasis on safety and cost-efficiency,” Saladino said. “Whether you and your family enjoy bicycle, baseball, football, lacrosse or soccer, John Walker Park serves as a premier athletic destination in the Town of Oyster Bay.” Town officials were joined by the family of John Walker, including his widow—Nassau County Legislator Rose Walker—their children and grandchildren. John Walker was a man beloved by the

community, and dedicated to children and youth athletics. From coaching to involvement in CYO, PAL, the Baseball Association and many others organizations, he was the heartbeat of Hicksville athletics. “John Walker Park is enjoyed by so many young people and is a great recreational feature of this community,” Walsh said. “These improvements bring a facelift to this wonderful park in Hicksville while protecting the young athletes that use them as well as our taxpayer’s wallets.” Artificial turf fields have a useful life of approximately eight to 10 years, however, they are less expensive than the long-term cost of maintaining natural grass and a dirt surface. Turf fields also provide the potential for fewer cancellations as the field us able to absorb rain storms in a manner that is not possible on a dirt infield. Turf replacement is crucial when loose inlays pose tripping hazards, fibers split and shred, and when inlays are worn out. When fields experience these issues, less cushion between the athlete and stone base underneath the turf. As players fall on the field, they are at a higher risk of injury and even concussion. —Submitted by the Town of Oyster Bay

Harbor Field Gets A Facelift

n old baseball diamond at Seaford Harbor Elementary School has come back to life thanks to a true team effort. The field, on the south side of the school, is new again and students cheered enthusiastically during a ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 3. The refurbishment of the field, which can be used for baseball, softball and kickball, was a partnership between the Seaford School District, Nassau County government, the Seaford Little League, the PTA and The LandTek Group. A grant from Nassau County Legislator Steve Rhoads got the ball rolling. Principal Tom Burke, speaking to the entire student body who came out to see their new play area, spoke about the work that took place to make this happen. He said that the field can be used by students during their physical education classes and recess, and as participants on local youth sports teams. After a team of administrators, local representatives and community members cut the ribbon, Deputy Superintendent John Striffolino threw out the first pitch to physical education teacher Suzanne Mooney. —Submitted by the Seaford School District

nything born in a kitchen is always a good thing. Take, for example, a comforting homecooked meal, a delectable slice of homemade bread hot from the oven or even a fabulous idea for something new and unrelated to anything that came out of the pantry. In the case of Barbara Herel, the kitchen was the birthplace of her original show and later podcast, Every Family’s Got One. Every Family’s Got One, or EFGO, was an idea conceived by Herel after the close of a show she had done with a New York City producing team several years ago. She had just come off the show, Listen to Your Mother, in which she performed and assisted in curating the show. Listen to Your Mother enabled Herel, a stand-up improvisational comedian, to find her roots. “I loved being part of something that allowed me to write and be part of something that seemed relatable,” she explained. “Once that show ended, I wanted to figure out how I could start my own show in my own community. I began to think about family experiences. I come from a family with a lot of personality, and I wondered how I could create something that would get people talking. Basically, the idea just came to me in my kitchen. It felt right.” In 2018, the first production of Every Family’s Got One launched. The traveling troupe found a stage in Huntington as well as the stage at My Father’s Place in Roslyn. When the pandemic hit, Herel still wanted to get stories out to her audience, so she started a podcast with the same name. EFGO is currently in its third year. “We have long-time and first-time storytellers in our cast. We do a writer’s workshop to help cast members

refine their stories,” she said. “We have MOTH and RISK! storytellers in the show as well. They are basically just telling a story about their personal experiences. The hope is that someone in the audience will relate to it. And by relating to it, this will get people talking and off their phones.” The importance of socializing in a world where most folks live on electronic devices helps to connect members of society and helps to ward off the feeling of isolation. “It’s also about how people define their own ‘family’,” Herel pointed out. “Is it a group of friends? Is it the people with whom you work? Could ‘family’ be your pets? These are truly passionate stories that we pass down through generations and we want to feel like we’re related to those stories.” MOTH Storytelling is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the art of storytelling, while RISK! Storytellers tell true stories that they never thought they would share with the public. EFGO brings true family stories from storytellers that are heartwarming, at times hilarious, cringe-worthy and even unexpected. Herel always wanted to collaborate and work with her best friend of 45 years, Dawn Nagle, a local artist. Nagle, who was born in New York and lived in Colorado for more than a decade, curated art shows in Denver. When she moved back to New York, she focused on her own artwork. “I was part of an exhibition at the Southampton Community Center and it got me thinking about how much I love to draw people in with events,” Nagle said. “I wanted to get artists together and give them a sense of community. When I saw the beautiful stage at SHCC with a gallery for artwork, I couldn’t wait to talk to Barbara about it. A band was playing in the background, and I thought that it would have been a great idea if we had collaborated to get people in to see both

the band and the artists at the gallery.” Dawn discussed the idea of combining both the art community with Barbara’s show. The idea took off from there. Nagle did a call for artists for the show and 17 local artists from as far away as New York City responded. Two college students and two high school students were included in the group because Dawn wanted to give them a positive experience and be involved with the more seasoned artists who would be part of the exhibition. “We have a dynamic, diverse group of local talent,” Nagle said. “They are getting to know each other through social media and are becoming a ‘family’ of sorts. This is the thing that I missed most about curating shows: the sense of camaraderie. It’s my hope that I can keep this group together and build upon it. I would also like to do something online with this group. It’s so important to give back to the community.” Herel and Nagle found great joy in the planning stages of the event. According to Herel, “What I love most about our show is finding the best stories. When you get up on stage and tell a story about your family, it’s relatable. We help the cast with their performance through coaching, which enables them to really connect with the audience. We’ve allowed people to use notes so they aren’t stressed about memorizing lines. It’s about a really great story, and we have those great stories in this show.” Some topics range from romantic stories that ended hilariously in a massage parlor to the nightmare of a Thanksgiving dinner gone bad to family secrets that were never shared publicly. “We have heartwarming stories in EFGO and we have people who have found their voice,” Herel said. “These are well-crafted stories that I absolutely love because it gets people to talk to each other and relate to the performers with their own experiences.

And then we have the artwork, which is stunning. I can’t find another word for it, because we have such diverse artists who will have their work in the gallery. And I am having so much fun planning this with Dawn.” The idea of combining both the art in the gallery and the storytelling was to build an art community that supported each other as well as connecting people together in a relatable and heartwarming way. The eventual plan for both Herel and Nagel is to find a home for their collaborative show. As Herel observed, “We’re trying to get the momentum going so people know about the show. The fun of it is just putting it out there. Dawn is so connected to people in the art world, and I’m so grateful for the experience. People love to perform. I love bringing this show to the community.” The event will be held on June 25 at the Southampton Community Center. The gallery will open with a reception from 4 pm to 8 p.m. that will include hors-d’oeuvres and beverages with a meet-andgreet of 17 accomplished, dynamic New York artists and more than 65 exceptional pieces of art. The exhibition, “Live and In Person: A Celebration of NY Artists” will run from June 25 through July 17. At 7 p.m., ticketholders will be invited to meet with artists and cast members in the gallery with light snacks and drinks. Every Family’s Got One will begin at 8 p.m. and will run for approximately 90 minutes. There will also be raffles for two giveaways during the event.

Guidance Center Hosts 25th Annual Krevat Cup Event honoring founder Jeff Krevat raises $150,000 to support children’s mental health

he North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center, the pre-eminent not-for-profit children’s mental health agency on Long Island, celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Jonathan Krevat Memorial Golf & Tennis Classic on June 6, at one of Nassau County’s finest courses, the elegant Engineers Country Club in Roslyn Harbor. The event raised $150,000 to support the Guidance Center’s work to bring hope and healing to children and families dealing with mental health or substance use challenges. More than $25,000 in additional funds were raised for the Guidance Center’s Douglas S. Feldman Suicide Prevention Project, another life-saving initiative that launched in September 2020. This year, the event honored Jeff Krevat, a longtime supporter of the Guidance Center and founder of the Krevat Cup, which is named in honor of his brother. “The mission of the Guidance Center is more important than ever before, with children and teens suffering from serious mental health challenges,” former board member Krevat said. “I am grateful to my friends and family for coming out to honor my brother’s legacy and support an organization that makes a real difference for the kids in our community.”

This year’s guest speaker was Rachel Priest, a mental health professional who was a Guidance Center client in her teen years. She told the audience, “The life-affirming

care I received from the Guidance Center saved my life. I was able to accomplish wonderful things over the years both socially and academically” because of the dedication, skills and compassion of her

Guidance Center therapists. “Knowing that the care I received over 20 years ago is still available and expanding lets me know that the Guidance Center is still changing lives every day.” Once again, the co-chairs for this year’s Krevat Cup were board members Michael Mondiello, Dan Oliver, Michael Schnepper and Troy Slade. In addition, Dan Donnelly served as the event’s emcee and auctioneer extraordinaire. “It’s all about the kids,” said Donnelly, a longtime supporter of the Guidance Center, as well as a previous Krevat Cup honoree and a close friend of Jeff Krevat’s. “I consider it a privilege to be here today to help raise money to support the incredible work that truly makes a difference in the lives of children and their families.” The Guidance Center is grateful to the Krevat Cup’s sponsors: Susan and Jeff Krevat, Americana Manhasset, Aon Reinsurance Solutions, Dan Donnelly, PSEG Long Island, Bahnik Foundation, Susan and Peter Braverman, Klipper Family Foundation, City National Rochdale, The Levine Group Inc., Newmark and Rivkin Radler LLP. —Submitted by the North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center

LETTER TO THE EDITOR PROBLEM GAMBLING AND MENTAL HEALTH Mental health is a vital topic in all reaches of Long Island right now. In the face of national tragedy and nearly ongoing bad news, for many, maintaining their mental wellness can be a daily challenge. As a form of escape or coping, many turn to gambling to overcome mental health struggles. Now readily available on a mobile device, gambling opportunities are seemingly endless. More than 800,000 New Yorkers have

experienced a gambling problem in the past year. The fallout can include sleep issues, strain on relationships with loved ones, financial problems and poor work performance. People who struggle with problem gambling are also at a higher risk for other mental health struggles. Gambling disorder often occurs with anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. On top of that, gambling disorder has the highest suicide rate

among all addictions. Nearly 50 percent of people struggling with gambling disorder have thoughts of suicide (Moghaddam, et al, 2014). And one in five has attempted and/or died by suicide (Petry, 2000). If you or someone you love is exhibiting warning signs such as preoccupation with gambling; feeling stressed or anxious when not gambling; low work performance or absence due to gambling; or lying to family and

friends about how much money and time is spent on gambling, it’s time to reach out to the Long Island Problem Gambling Resource Center. For more information or to get help email LongIslandPGRC@ nyproblemgambling.org or call 516-226-8342.

The Art Of The Check-In Many relationship therapists encourage the couples they work with to have weekly check-ins with one another. These check-ins are a time in which partners can discuss anything on their minds, connect with one another and focus on the status and strength of their partnership. This need not be a serious conversation, prefaced by a “we need to talk” opener. Rather, it can be incorporated into a date night and may even become one of your rituals of connection. The goal is for you and your partner to have a discussion in which you reflect on your relationship, openly and honestly share your feelings and assess progress over time. Below are some tips to help make your check-ins productive, while still keeping them light and enjoyable. Focus On Growth/Finding Solutions While it is important to bring up any issues that may be of concern, you don’t want your weekly check-ins to devolve into sessions

where you solely share your frustrations. If this were the case, they would likely become incredibly stressful and quickly be removed from your weekly agenda. Instead, focus on what went well over the previous week and what you would like to see more of in the coming week. By focusing on the positive, you can communicate to one another what each of you is doing right and how you want to grow together and show love and appreciation for one another.

Bill Payne’s Long And Winding Road With Little Feat BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

ill Payne is a name that may not be readily recognizable, but the argument can be made that most people have heard the native Texan’s piano/keyboardist contributions whether they realized it or not. In addition to co-founding Little Feat back in 1969, Payne has a hefty amount of guest appearances on hundreds of recordings for myriad artists including Bonnie Raitt, The Doobie Brothers, Jackson Browne, Emmylou Harris, Pink Floyd, Bob Seger and Shelby Lynne.

Bill Payne (Photo by Bryan Ledgard/ CC BY 2.0)

Considered by many to be one of the greatest living American rock and blues pianists, Payne calls Montana home when he’s not out on the road playing with Little Feat. With pandemic numbers plummeting and live music coming back to some sense of normalcy, the 73-yearold musician has been playing before fans since June 2021. The coronavirus not only forced Payne to re-adjust and learn how to play virtually with others, but also do it while welcoming a pair of new members to the band—guitarist Scott Sharrard and drummer Tony Leone. “I learned how to record at my home, which is ridiculous,” Payne said. “It’s something I didn’t know how to do before. I sort of took each challenge as it were and started getting the buzz out of my system here in Montana. I just took the challenges one at a time and went down the list one at a time. I [recorded virtually] not only with Little Feat but with the Doobie Brothers. We did some online things together as well. That defined a lot of time. It took a little while for me to learn the curve of how to record, but once [I got past that], it was solid and great way to do things.” With Sharrard welcomed into the Feat Fold in October 2019 and Leone coming aboard in September 2020, Payne views it as the price of keeping a group going that was founded back in 1969 along with Roy Estrada, Lowell George and Richie Hayward. Over the band’s five-decadeplus existence, major personnel changes have been a Little Feat constant, ranging from George’s departure in 1979 and the recruitment of former Pure Prairie League vocalist Craig Fuller to front the reunited band in 1987 to having Shaun Murphy take the baton from Fuller in 1993 until her departure in 2009. And while there could be considerable concern over fan reactions, Payne looks at it as normal evolution

Little Feat circa 1975. Bill Payne is second from left. (Public domain) that doesn’t become a concern as long as a group stays faithful to its spirit. “Every inch of the way—when we went from a group of four people which was Roy Estrada, Lowell George, Richie Hayward and myself—and then expanded it on Dixie Chicken to Paul Barrere, Kenny Gradney and Sam Clayton—people wanted to know what that was,” he explained. “The band from the get-go was designed by Lowell and myself to be expandable. We just wanted to have a vehicle of expression that would allow for whatever we needed at the time to support the music. It was a pretty simple proposition. It’s tougher to sometimes pull off because there’s a certain balance to it with fans. Fans, like all of us, want continuity. When you think of continuity and a line-up of songs—when we did Let It Roll—Lowell wasn’t there [so fans might have been asking] what is that? My response was, ‘You tell me. Does it resonate with you or not? If you say, ‘Oh my God, it sounds like Little Feat. Thanks for putting it back together,’ then you know you’re on the right track.” Up until recently, Little Feat’s last tour

leg was dubbed “Little Feat By Request,” which featured fans filing different song requests (“that was quite a challenge because we hadn’t played a lot of those songs in a long time”), The current pivot is an anniversary tour celebrating the 1978 live outing Waiting For Columbus, in which the band plays the double-album’s 17-song track listing, an accomplishment that has been well received by fans. The path Newman got Payne started out has served him well, both in and out of Little Feat. It’s not only been a North Star for his musical development, but helped him in the hundreds of recording sessions he’s been asked to be a part of. “The journey has been really interesting, personally and certainly with Little Feat,” he said. “But I’ve always been able to play with other bands and it always gave me a loose attitude about what makes up a band. Certain people go to the nth degree and everyone has got an equal voice. I don’t think an equal voice is what it’s all about.” Visit www.longislandweekly.com to read a longer version of this story.

Acclaimed Sculptor Seward Johnson On Display Through Summer

“Cloud Watching” by Seward Johnson Photo by Matt Yao

ld Westbury Gardens announced the return of an art exhibition featuring the work of internationally renowned sculptor Seward Johnson. The exhibit features three of the artist’s most popular series: “Celebrating the Familiar,” “Beyond the Frame” and “Icons,” including additional displays of the artist’s painted trays, maquettes of artwork never realized in bronze and choice works by his friend and colleague, artist Herk van Tongeren. On display throughout historic Westbury House and the magnificent gardens through Sept. 5, the exhibit features 35 individual pieces focusing on the sculptural commentary of day-to-day life and Johnson’s love of nature and French impressionism. New to the exhibition is a selection from the artist’s “Icon” series, which explores familiar images portrayed in a different light, as well as the debut of a never-before-seen composition. The sculptures included

from “Beyond the Frame” bring paintings by Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Vincent Van Gogh to life in three dimensions. The exhibition contains six sculptures from this body of work. The addition of a sculpture from the “Icon” series shows the infamous portrait of Mona Lisa in a much different scenario from the familiar painting. The effect will create an immersive experience in Westbury House and the gardens, inviting the viewer to step beyond the frame into the rich world of each painting. “Celebrating the Familiar” engages the viewer through more hyper-realistic figures, calling attention to the small pleasures and moments in daily tasks and activities. Installations portray individuals involved in various activities amid the gardens, from fishing in the pond to lazily watching clouds go by. Prior to becoming a wellknown sculptor, Johnson was a painter who painted primarily on canvas with acrylics. Once his

career as a sculptor flourished, his painting projects subsided— except for one unique format: painted trays. Johnson began to collect trays from antique shops on which to paint his homey, intimate scenes. “These tray paintings are snapshots of his view of life,” said Program Officer Lynn DeClemente Losavio. Each of the paintings hung in the House allow a rare window through Johnson’s eyes, featuring his sculptures and views at Ground For Sculpture. A display of Johnson’s unrealized maquettes or studies, recently cast in plaster are also at Westbury House. “These are some of my favorite works,” said DeClemente Losavio. “They are his truest ideas that were never further developed, and so important to preserve as much as possible in this raw form.” A small selection of work from artist Herk van Tongeren, friend and colleague to Johnson, are also featured. Van Tongeren helped establish the Johnson Atelier Technical

Institute of Sculpture and its master apprentice system as President and Executive Director. An architect at heart, his work predominantly consists of three-dimensional, geometrical objects positioned within a stage-like setting, In July, Composer and Jazz Vibraphonist Christian Tamburr will bring his “Sounds For Sculpture” to the Barn for one night only. Tamburr was so influenced by Seward Johnson and his sculptures that he created original compositions inspired by ten of the sculptures. An all day music workshop for students at the nearby school will emphasize art influencing art, music influencing art, and how the sculptures chosen inspire their own stories. The Seward Johnson exhibit is one of the many programs coordinated by Old Westbury Gardens and hosted at its beautifully manicured 200-acre gardens and historic Charles II-style mansion.

COVER ART

About The Artist

usanne Corbelletta is a New York native and classically trained artist. She attended The Stevenson Academy of Traditional Painting in Sea Cliff, founded by Harold Stevenson, protégé and friend of Norman Rockwell. Inspired by impressionism and classical realism, she paints seeking to capture mood and atmosphere using changes in light and broken color, hoping to invoke a sense of tranquility for the viewer. Corbelletta draws inspiration from, mainly, Long Island scenery and is always captivated when watching light cast shadows as it moves over a landscape and when seeing the reflected light bounce off its surroundings. She paints en plein air, whenever possible and then completes the canvas at her studio. Corbelletta also enjoys painting portraits, the figure and still life, where she can control the lighting and composition. Her award-winning paintings are privately collected and widely exhibited. Her work has been shown at The National Gallery, the Salmagundi Art Club, Federal Hall National Museum in NYC and galleries and museums nationally. Corbelletta is most proud to be an artist for the United States Coast Guard, where she has joined the ranks of artists past, to assist in documenting the history of the Coast Guard through paintings. As a board member of The Art Guild, Corbelletta has been exposed to various artists, mediums and styles. It has given her a broader perspective of art in the community. Corbelletta is happy to be part of an organization that provides classes and workshops for adults and children, both for beginners and more advanced artists who want to broaden their skills. Presently, Corbelletta has a solo exhibit on display at Sea Cliff Village Library through the end of June. This exhibition includes 15 of her paintings. The library is located at 300 Sea Cliff Ave. in Sea Cliff. Visit www. seaclifflibrary.org for library hours and directions. Visit www.corbelletta.com to see more of Corbelletta’s work.

SAFETY

Summer Is Not Fun Spent In The Hospital Prevent unexpected trips to the emergency room

ith miles of sandy beaches and endless outdoor activities, Long Island is an ideal summer haven. But with this fun-filled season of swimming, biking, boating, BBQs and more, also come more accidents than just about any other time of year. Here are some summer safety tips to prevent the following accidents and unexpected trips to the hospital emergency room:

Drowning

In the U.S., drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional injury and death for children ages 1 to 14, after motor vehicle crashes. Be sure to supervise your children at the beach and pool even if lifeguards are present.

Burns

6B | SUMMERTIME! • JUNE 22 - 28, 2022

While minor burns can be treated at home, many people find themselves in the emergency room for severe injuries. From 2014 to 2018, fire departments went to an annual average of 8,900 homes in the U.S. for fires involving grills. Remember to never leave firepits

unattended and be sure to keep your grill clean to avoid unexpected flares. Additionally—while synonymous with summer fun—leave it to the experts to handle fireworks.

Biking

Although a pleasurable way to sneak in some health benefits, you should always wear your helmet. Helmets when bike riding reduce the risks of head injury by at least 45 percent and fatal injury by 29 percent. While you may trust yourself, you can’t trust others on the road.

Boating

According to the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), boating interests are on the rise—likely as an escape from the pandemic. However, so are boating accidents. According to the U.S. Coast Guard, in 2020 boating accidents increased by 26.3 percent from 2019. Also, in most fatalities caused by boating accidents the operator received no boating safety instruction. Make sure to follow boating requirements and cool it with the throttle. Remember, there is no way to eliminate risk, but there are ways to be mindful of your surroundings. Lastly, when taking part in summer activities, be sure to drink responsibly. —NYU Langone Hospital–Long Island

SUMMER READS

Summer Bestsellers Pack a bag complete with a snack, some sunscreen and a good book before heading to the beach. Although not necessarily new books, these books are hot this summer. In no particular order, check out some of the top sellers on Amazon.

Battle for the American Mind: Uprooting a Century of Miseducation by Pete Hegseth Bestselling author and FOX News host Pete Hegseth is back with what he says is his most important book yet: a revolutionary road map to saving our children from leftist indoctrination. Behind a smokescreen of “preparing students for the new industrial economy,” early progressives had political control in mind. America’s original schools didn’t just make kids memorize facts or learn skills; they taught them to think freely and arrive at wisdom. They assigned the classics, inspired love of God and country and raised future citizens that changed the world forever.

and heartbreaking novel that digs its claws into you and doesn’t let go, long after you’ve finished it” (Anna Todd, New York Times bestselling author) from the bestselling author of All Your Perfects, a workaholic with a too-good-to-be-true romance can’t stop thinking about her first love. Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. And when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life seems too good to be true.

mystery, a coming-of-age narrative and a celebration of nature.” For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the socalled Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life—until the unthinkable happens. Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover From Colleen Hoover, the bestselling author of It Ends with Us, aheart-wrenching love story that proves attraction at first sight can be messy. When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she doesn’t think it’s love at first sight. They wouldn’t even go so far as to consider

themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid From the bestselling author of Daisy Jones & the Six—an entrancing and “wildly addictive journey of a reclusive Hollywood starlet” (PopSugar) as she reflects on her relentless rise to the top and the risks she took, the loves she lost, and the long-held secrets the public could never imagine. Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for

the job, no one is more astounded than Monique herself. Why her? Why now? Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover A troubled young mother yearns for a shot at redemption in this heartbreaking yet hopeful story from bestselling author Colleen Hoover. After serving five years in prison for a tragic mistake, Kenna Rowan returns to the town where it all went wrong, hoping to reunite with her four-year-old daughter. But the bridges Kenna burned are proving impossible to rebuild. Everyone in her daughter’s life is determined to shut Kenna out, no matter how hard she works to prove herself.

Lifesaving Grilling Tips As New Yorkers look towards nicer weather, many will be firing up their grills for the first time in months. The Firefighters Association of the State of New York (FASNY) recommends that all New Yorkers follow some basic rules and tips to avoid accidents. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), an average of 19,700 patients per year (from 2014 to 2018) went to emergency rooms because of injuries involving grills. Nearly half of the injuries were thermal burns, including burns from both fire and contact with hot objects. Grills alone were involved in an average of 8,900 home fires per year, including 3,900 structure fires and 4,900 outdoor fires. “We want all New Yorkers to enjoy the warm weather outdoors, but we also want them to be safe. Keep an eye on your grill, your kids, and stay aware of your surroundings ,” said FASNY President John P. Farrell. “We are here

to help—no matter how big or small an incident seems. Don’t hesitate to call your local fire department because a few minutes can make a big difference.” Children under age five

accounted for an average of 39 percent, of the contact-type burns per year. These burns typically occurred when someone bumped into, touched or fell on the grill, grill parts or hot coals.

Keep everyone safe by following these important tips: Propane and charcoal BBQ grills should only be used outdoors. The grill should be placed well away from the home, deck railings and out from under eaves and overhanging branches. Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the grill area. Keep your grill clean by removing grease or fat buildup from the grills and in trays below the grill. Never leave your grill unattended. Always make sure your gas grill lid is open before lighting it. —Firefighters Association of the State of New York (FASNY)

yster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilman Lou Imbroto joined with local neighbors and the town’s highway crew to commence the demolition of a long-dilapidated zombie home on Elizabeth Street in Massapequa. “Code enforcement officers have regularly visited this house based on neighborhood complaints and issued multiple violations for building code violations and lack of maintenance,” said Saladino. “Town personnel repeatedly found deplorable conditions as this property showed clear signs of neglect. Since the lending institution that owns this property ignored all warnings related to health and human safety of the building, our administration went to court to remove this eyesore from the neighborhood. Banks are on notice; we will not tolerate dangerous and unkempt properties in the Town of Oyster Bay.” This longtime eyesore was recently court-granted for demolition following multiple complaints from neighbors

related to squatters, broken windows, mold, deterioration, water infiltration and lack of maintenance. “We’re taking back neighborhoods house by house from lending institutions that let these vacant houses deteriorate and bring down the neighborhood due to a lack of maintenance,” said Councilman and Quality of Life Task Force Chairman Lou Imbroto. “The town has removed more than 25 vacant and dilapidated eyesores from local communities while paving the way for new homes and new families.” The Town Code Enforcement Bureau of the Department of Planning and Development is charged with the enforcement of all codes, rules and regulations pertaining to zoning, housing and public safety. It is expressly designed to handle requests of citizens regarding possible violations.

he Roslyn High School girls’ lacrosse team has quite a future ahead of it. Leading the way for the Lady Bulldogs is Casey Rhine, a rising junior who has already made her mark as a star in the competitive world of Long Island girls’ lacrosse. A starter for Roslyn since she was a freshman, Rhine achieved a milestone this past May when she scored her 100th career goal in a game against Bellmore JFK. One hundred career goals. And that’s only after two seasons. Indeed, the recently completed 2022 season is where Rhine emerged as Roslyn’s offensive star, scoring 18 assists and 44 points. That’s up from 33 goals in 12 games during her freshman

season. According to her coach Lauren Lopez, Rhine is now learning to dominate, taking the draw and controlling the offense from the midfield on down. Consider the other achievements Rhine has racked up in her first two years: Being named to the Adelphi All-Star squad, a participant in the National Lacrosse Classic, the National Draw Champions, the Crab Cake Champions, the Lax by The Sea Champions, and the Million Lacrosse Camp Best Camper award. Outside of Roslyn High School, Rhine has played for both Elevate LI 2024 Blue and Elevate LI 2024 Red. Rhine combines athletic excellence with top grades. Her Grade Point Average (GPA) is 93-96; 4.0. “I started playing lacrosse in third grade and have loved it since,”

Rhine said in a recent profile. “I currently play for my club, Team Elevate and I have been a Roslyn High School varsity lacrosse starter since eighth grade. I am the top leading scorer for my school team as a midfielder. I am dominant in my right hand, but also feel comfortable in my left. I also use my speed to transition up the field, have excellent ground ball skills and can get low on D. On offense, I am confident dodging and shooting. I can drive to goal and have an excellent lax IQ. I put the same drive and effort into school as I do lacrosse. I love helping others and like to mentor young kids who want to join the lacrosse community.” For Casey Rhine and her Roslyn High School teammates, the best is yet to come.

Congratulations, Casey Rhine, you’re a top student-athlete! Orlin & Cohen is proud to support our community’s best high school athletes, just as we support all athletes’ orthopedic needs.

What Nassau’s Gas Tax Holiday Means For Your Family Finally—a little bit of good news about gas prices. On Wednesday, June 1, Nassau County began a gas tax holiday that will last through the rest of the year. During that time, Nassau will not charge sales tax on any portion of the price of gas exceeding $3/gallon. In addition, New York State will cut gasoline taxes by 20 cents per gallon. All told, these tax cuts will reduce the prices you pay at the pump by approximately 28 cents per gallon. The beginning of Nassau County’s long-awaited gas tax holiday marks the culmination of a months-long advocacy campaign by the members of the Minority Caucus. Starting on March 9, we fought to secure permission from state lawmakers to have a gas tax holiday—something we accomplished when the state budget was adopted a month later. Soon after, a local gas tax holiday was approved and signed into law. Despite initial resistance from County Executive Blakeman and the Legislative Majority, we prevailed in our efforts to deliver some real relief from the sticker shock we are all experiencing at the pump. We remain disappointed, however, that County Executive Blakeman has thus far failed to deliver the maximum amount of relief allowable under state law. In fact, he could have made this gas tax holiday

FROM THE DESK OF Legislator Kevan M. Abrahams

much better and longer lasting for Nassau consumers by passing the Minority Caucus plan, which, at current prices, would have boosted cumulative savings to 32 cents per gallon and extended Nassau’s portion of the holiday through March of next year. Instead, he decided not to save you more money and passed a watered-down version of our plan. That is truly unfortunate, and we will continue our fight to put money where it belongs—back into the hands of consumers. As we continue to engage in these efforts, it is important to note that New York State law requires gas stations to pass tax holiday

Failure to do so constitutes illegal price gouging under the law.

FULL RUN

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direc always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you hav pleted the puzzle, there will be 9 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle. By Holiday Mathis

By Holiday Holiday Mathis Mathis HOROSCOPES INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND By HOROSCOPES INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND ARIES (March 21-April 19). It is easy to look back and think, “That was then; this Winners and losers is now,” but history has a way of repeating itself. Maybe it hasn’t done so yet, but it will. The question is, how prepared are you? You’ll get much more so this week. Oddly enough, it’s harder to ready yourself for the best-case scenario than the worst-case scenario.

WORD FIND Winners and losers

Solution: 9 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Each person brings out a different side of you -- perhaps subtly so, but in certain cases you discover an aspect of yourself you were entirely unaware of. This compels you to keep meeting new people. Not only does it make things interesting, but each new person provides a chance to know yourself more completely. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Small acts of kindness are so easy for you, you might consider small acts of selfishness, which are going to feel strange but will improve your life, nonetheless. When people are subconsciously deciding how to treat you, they are taking their cues right from you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Insert a few long breaks somewhere in that tight agenda. As you allow yourself to follow your whims, it might feel as though you’re loafing, loitering, listless -- but there are great, if intangible, benefits to loosening up the reins on yourself and following the clues provided by your attractions, distractions and impulses. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Although you’d like all your possessions to be useful, beautiful or both, the truth is, much of what you own comes with complex reasoning that defies category. You’ll pare down, spiff up and generally organize. By the end of the week your possessions will better represent the person you are becoming. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re sometimes hesitant to solve problems for others because a co-dependent dynamic ultimately helps no one. When everyone is working together and contributing all they can, it is safe to give generously. Make sure your care for others is counterbalanced by a strong sense of your own needs and wants. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Unseen? It will work to your advantage now. It’s easier to be productive when people don’t interrupt or insert their ideas into your work. Do amazing things under the radar while you can because you won’t get to use this invisibility cloak much longer. You’ll soon be noticed and applauded. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). With the abundant creativity flowing through you this week, you’ll delight people who are notoriously hard to please. This pays, but take care. Money that’s yours free and clear makes life easy. Money that comes with strings and contracts makes life harder. Decide your next financial move accordingly. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Making a decision on data alone is like buying a house sight unseen. Everything has a feel, and you don’t know until you go there. It is also not ideal to base decisions strictly on feelings and thoughts. The success of this week’s venture will have to do with a curious mix of sentiment and fact. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you wonder why you admire someone so, the resonance has to do with qualities you share, some of which are obvious and others that lie dormant inside you. Your attractions teach you what might be awakened in you. Follow up with a move to develop skill in this direction.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Your love and warmth are indisputable, and yet the year also brings assertive vibes. Though attentive to the needs of others, you still recognize your authority over your own focus. You live up to the responsibility to create the life that honors what’s best in you. You’ll often pause and assess your use of time. You’ll invest your energy and resources where they give you a desired return. You’ll travel in pursuit of fun and games with your team. A young person shines under your tutelage.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your cosmic talent is strong discretion, which you use superbly on behalf of others and even more brilliantly for yourself. When you want people to know what you think, your words and actions will be clear. And when you don’t want them to know, they will never be able to read you.

Over time, defenders who play mechanically will not do nearly as well as those who play thoughtfully. Today’s deal from a duplicate game provides a case in point. The deal was played at eight tables, and at every table the final contract was four spades by South, against which West led the queen of hearts. At seven of the tables, declarer made 10 tricks — five spades, two hearts and three clubs. Since seven declarers achieved this result, and since 10 tricks seem to be there for the taking, this would seem to be the normal outcome. But it shouldn’t be, as demon-

strated by what happened at the eighth table. First, let’s see how the play went at the other tables. South won the heart lead, cashed the A-K of spades and led a spade to the jack. Declarer then tried a club finesse, losing the queen to East’s king. At this point, the defense varied. Some Easts shifted to a diamond, and after the defenders collected two diamonds, declarer had the rest, eventually discarding the heart six on dummy’s nine of clubs. At the tables where East returned a heart, declarer similarly finished with 10 tricks. At the table where the contract failed, East found a way to give South a chance to go wrong, and it made all the difference. Here, when declarer led a club to the jack at trick five, East did not take the king. South naturally assumed that West had the king, in which case repeating the finesse was necessary and might even yield an overtrick. So declarer crossed to his hand with the heart king and led a club to the queen. This time East won, and the defenders quickly cashed a heart and two diamonds to set the contract. East’s refusal to win the first club is a play that has much to gain and little to lose. All it takes is a bit of thought and a natural reluctance to play mechanically.

Comic Book Section Debuts At High School Library

AUGUST 19

AUGUST 20

AUGUST 27

The Graphic Novel Club, in its first year at Massapequa High School, has already achieved success.

he collection of comic books and graphic novels has vastly grown in the Massapequa High School library thanks to the efforts of a student organization as well as a generous donation. The first-year Graphic Novels Club, advised by William Ryan, was an immediate hit. With approximately 50 members, the club’s weekly Friday afternoon meetings typically draw at least 30 students who come to discuss comic books and graphic novels. One of the organization’s first initiatives was expanding the collection of those reading materials in the school library, so students organized a book drive. Fliers for the book drive were hung throughout the high school, as well as at the Ames Campus for ninth-graders. It was at Ames where security guard Steve Miller saw the flier and contacted a friend of his at Marvel. The company made a donation far greater than anyone imagined, providing hundreds of new, hardbound comic books valued at more than $35,000. Over the February recess, Miller personally drove to Marvel’s New York City office to pick up boxes and boxes of comics. He noted the hardcover comics are a better option for a school library to cut down on wear and tear. After months of sorting, organizing and shelving, the new comic book and graphic novel section was dedicated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony in the library after school on June 9. In attendance were Curriculum Associate for ELA and Library Media Tina Farrell, library media specialists Jill O’Connor and Lynn Reynolds, Ryan, Miller and several members of the club. Farrell noted the club was born from an idea from students in Ryan’s Graphic Novels and Monsters in Print and Film ELA elective courses. During her remarks before the ribbon-cutting, she noted the enthusiasm of the students in the club and presented Miller a certificate of appreciation for his efforts.

“I’m really excited that everyone is going to have a chance to enjoy what we in the club enjoy,” said senior Anthony Langone, the club’s president. “Seeing our hard work actually displayed in the library is astonishing to me.” Langone noted the extensive collection of Marvel comics, including Fantasy Island, Iron Man and Spiderman. Some donations will also be shared with the Berner Middle School and Ames Campus libraries. “I think this is a great addition to the Massapequa library, and I’m so glad to be a part of this club,” added incoming president, junior Tiffany Chan.—Submitted by the Massapequa School District School District

SCHOOL NEWS A LEADERSHIP LESSON FOR SEAFORD HIGH SCHOOL SOPHOMORES Four Seaford High School students are prepared to enter their upperclassmen era with newfound leadership skills. Sophomores Luke Donovan, Mary Saporito, Faith Schaefer and Ryan Tice attended the Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) conference from June 3 to 5. The four were selected from among 11 nominees to serve as 2022 HOBY ambassadors. Donovan, Saporito and Schaefer attended the in-person conference at Adelphi University and stayed two nights in the dorms, while Tice joined virtually. They heard from numerous guest speakers, participated in group activities and came up with ideas for community service projects. “There’s a lot of stuff that I learned about leadership that I can take back to my community,” Saporito said. Students attend the conference as sophomores to prepare them for the leadership roles in school that juniors and seniors typically take on. At the HOBY conference, students were able to interact with their peers from other high schools on Long Island, as well as New York City and Rockland and Westchester counties. Donovan said it was very interesting to hear from people involved in public service, including a volunteer for the

Ronald McDonald House and a representative from an alternative education school. “I’ve always wanted to help out my community, but I’ve never really had that plan of action,” Donovan said, adding that he got ideas for “little things” that he can do to help others that could make a big difference to someone. Schaefer said that the experience can help her branch out and advocate for change that she wants to see. At HOBY, she enjoyed taking part in a passion project with students from other schools. They identified a problem, looked at its causes and came up with possible solutions. Her group tackled the issue of mental health. Saporito said she learned that participating in community service is always good, but it’s also important to look behind an issue and explore why that need exists. In the virtual group, Tice heard from a speaker who works with refugees and immigrants. One of their service projects was to make cards for refugees. “It was definitely very inspiring to see how much the speakers have accomplished,” Tice said.

SPORTS

A Father’s Day Tribute: Lacrosse Is The Family Business

JAMES ROWAN n the Papach household, lacrosse is the family business. So what happens when one of the top players in Nassau faces off against his father, a legendary coach? Well, business got a little personal. For the first time, Matt Papach, a senior midfielder at MacArthur, played against his father, Craig, the longtime head coach at Bellmore JFK High School. Let’s just say the matchup made for some awkward dinner conversation. “We didn’t talk at length, we both knew MacArthur had the upper hand,” said Matt Papach. “So, I teased him a little bit.” Craig was more diplomatic. “During lacrosse season, we both have strange hours with practices and games, so we never spoke at great length about this game,” Craig Papach said. “Matt would always tell his mom not to tell me anything she may have heard him say to his teammates about their strategy. She can keep a secret.” In the middle was wife-mom Jo Ann Papach and their daughter Kristen, who tried to divert the conversation and stay as neutral as possible. It was all in good fun. “My son would be talking to me about the upcoming game and would stop talking when my husband walked in, like he was a spy or something!,” Jo Ann Papach said. “I told my husband, ‘Sorry, but I’m rooting for my kid!’” The big night was April 30, when MacArthur hosted Bellmore JFK at it’s annual Lax for Autism event. The game held an even greater meaning because Craig

also went to MacArthur and played with Joe Gallagher, for whom the event is dedicated. The Generals cruised to an 18-2 victory in front of a capacity crowd. Matt Papach scored two goals and added an assist. In the end, everyone was smiling, including Jo Ann, who could resume normal dinner conversation. The game was special for the extended Papach family as well, meaning all the players he’s coached over the years. Not only is Craig a legendary high school coach, he was also a long-time youth lacrosse coach. He has coached some travel teams and spent many years coaching the Levittown Tomahawks PAL team. He has touched the lives of so many athletes in the Levittown district as well as the Bellmore-Merrick district. “It was a cool experience to have my dad on the field coaching the opposing team,” said Matt. “All my teammates know my dad well and many have been coached by him. My coaches know him well. There’s a lot of respect at MacArthur for my dad.” Added Craig, “This was the first time I coached against either of my boys in any sport. They also played football, and I also coach JFK football. It was fun, I knew the JFK team was clearly the underdog, so there was no pressure to win that game. It was also exciting for me because I coached many of Matt’s teammates on the PAL level, and know all their parents. In addition, I have a long-standing relationship with all of the MacArthur coaches.” The journey started for Craig at Salk Middle School when his football coach, Chuck Arnone, suggested he try out for lacrosse. The rest was history. “That suggestion changed my entire life,” Papach said. Craig would play four years in high school,

graduating from MacArthur in 1983. He then went on to play four years of college lacrosse, anchoring the defense at Cortland. Papach took over the head coaching reigns at Bellmore JFK in the spring of 1992. He left briefly in 2013 to serve as an assistant at MacArthur so he could coach his older son Mike. Papach returned to the Cougars’ sideline in 2019. Papach has reached numerous milestones in his career. In 1997, Bellmore JFK beat MacArthur in the playoffs to earn a trip the semifinals at Hofstra. He notched his 100th victory in 2004 against Copiague. He earned his 200th victory on May 16 of this season with a thrilling, 9-8 win against Jericho. That win propelled the Cougars into the playoffs. MacArthur’s head coach, John Nessler, has coached with and against Papach for years. He’s far more friend than rival. “Coach Papach has been a role model for me when it comes to both coaching, and on how to deal, and relate with young men as a coach,” Nessler said. “His enthusiasm for teaching is contagious, and you just can’t help but smile every time he gets to talk about the kids he’s coached. His success in the classroom and on the field is remarkable. Coach reached the 200-win milestone this spring, and you wouldn’t even know it. It’s about the kids with coach. He lives by the words ‘Good, Clean, Fun.”’ Good, clean, fun has been Papach’s mantra and it has spread through the MacArthur and Bellmore Kennedy communities. To Craig, it means, “have fun, but work hard, and be sportsmanlike. Do it the right way.” Both of his sons have taken that to heart. Mike was a star player at MacArthur and then earned All-America honors while playing college lacrosse at Adelphi in 2019. He is following his father into the coaching ranks. Matt has been a varsity player at MacArthur since the 9th grade. He is a two-time All County lacrosse player and was also an All County football player for the Generals. Next season, Matt will be playing lacrosse at Wingate University in North Carolina. “Matthew is a great young man,” Nessler said. “I’ve had the pleasure of watching Matthew grow up over the years. From watching him running around with a lacrosse stick when his brother played for us at MacArthur, to seeing him in Craig Papach’s home gym, working when no one is watching to hone his skills and become one of the guys we relied on here at MacArthur. You can tell he grew up with a coach for a dad, and an All-American brother. He has what it takes both on and off the field to be successful.” One thing is for sure, he’ll do it the right way. Good, clean, fun. James Rowan is an Anton Media Group contributor.
