SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW The Art Guild cherishes its Elderfields Preserve stewardship BY BOULEVARD STAFF

lderfields, also known as the HewlettMunson-Williams House, is one of the oldest homes on Cow Neck, (circa 1675) with one of the most interesting architectural histories.

In 1999 a group of local artists and those interested in the fine and decorative arts organized The Art Guild of Port Washington, Inc. By 2007 The Art Guild (TAG) signed an agreement with Nassau County for use of the Hewlett-Munson-Williams House at Elderfields Historic Preserve located at 200 Port Washington Blvd. in Manhasset, which was bequeathed to the county to be used for the arts. “The Art Guild of Port Washington is a member-driven, nonprofit organization providing encouragement and education and a forum for the appreciation of the visual arts,” Sona Hyde, gallery manager of The Art Guild said. “We host 10 gallery shows per year, art classes for adults and children, as well as workshops and lectures by renowned visiting artists online and in-person throughout the year.” Its mission is to provide encour-

agement, education and a forum for the appreciation of the visual arts by offering residents from local and neighboring communities an avenue to broaden their creative pursuits. It is an organization, currently with over 300 members, open to all people with a common goal to advance the visual arts. It is unclear who built the oldest sections of Elderfields. Both date to the period of the first European owner of the property, George Hewlett (1634-1722). It is possible that Hewlett constructed one section of the house and the other was built elsewhere by Thornes. (The Thorne family was related to the Hewletts, but never owned the property.) The Thorne structure was moved to the site in the 18th century. The Elderfields farm, consisting of 190 acres, passed in 1722 from Hewlett to his son Lewis (1686-1763). It was most likely The Hewlett-Munson-Williams House

ELDERFIELDS AT A GLANCE The barn is currently being restored.

ELDERFIELDS from page 3 Lewis who expanded the house to its Georgian floor plan. The house and farm remained in family hands for almost another 200 years. After Lewis’s death, Elderfields went to his son James (1717-1805) and James’ widow Jemima. Upon Jemima’s death in 1825 their nephew, Lewis S. Hewlett (1776-1846) purchased the property and left the estate to his son Samuel L. (1803-1868) upon his death in 1846. Samuel L. sold Elderfields to his uncle William H. Hewlett (1784-1866) four years later. When Elderfields was passed to William H. Hewlett in 1850, judging from census records, it’s believed he did not live there, but let his daughter Martha, son-in-law John S. Morrell and their children use the house. After Martha’s death in 1864, her father altered his will to leave the house to her daughters Matilda and Maria. Maria died young and Matilda eventually inherited the entire estate. She remained at Elderfields until 1904, when she sold the farm to Carlos W. Munson and his wife Mabel, ending 229 years of Hewlett family ownership. It was Munson, heir to the Munson shipping line fortune, who dubbed the Hewlett farm Elderfields. Munson was a major developer of the Flower Hill area; he laid out many of the roads and house lots, as well as donated 15 acres of his land south of Elderfields to the Sisters of the Franciscan Missionaries in the 1920s to establish St. Francis Sanitarium, now St. Francis Hospital. In 1921, he had an additional house, which is currently a Nassau County apartment rental, moved onto

Reflections 20 x 24 oil

Susanne 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.

Front Room Elderfields consists of three separate structures which, over the course of 300 years, have been joined together to form the current house. According to an architectural history prepared for the Williams family in 1984 by Zachary Studenroth, this room is the oldest portion of the building (the Art Guild’s office). An analysis of the wood beams in this room (and the beams in the basement) indicate that it was constructed as a one-room house around 1675, making it approximately the size and age of the original section of the Van Nostrand-Starkins House in Roslyn. Some of the original wide, poplar floorboards are about 18” wide. Main Hall The Center Hall was constructed to join an additional house to the original structure to the east. The wide oak floorboards date to ca. 1690. The front Dutch door is original and constructed with hand-forged iron fittings. The initial purpose of a Dutch door was to keep animals out and children in, while allowing light and air in at the open top. Main Gallery This room dates to circa 1690. Sometime in the mid-18th century, this entire side of the building was a separate house that was moved from Roslyn to its present location and joined to the original house by adding the center hallway, northwest room (The Art Guild’s library) and lean-to kitchen on the west side. At some point between 1846 and 1850, the main house was expanded to two and a half stories. Back Door There is a single remaining pane of crown glass in the rear hallway door (two were lost during a fire in 2011). There are also two panes in the front door and two in the “mudroom” door in the kitchen. Glassmakers in the early 1800s made crown glass by blowing a bubble of glass, then spinning it until it was flat. This process left a sheet of glass with a bump called a crown in the center. The lock, also original, opens with a large skeleton key hanging to the right of the door. Library The library, the large gallery at the front of the house and the center hallway joining the two oldest sections of the house were added in 1690. The fireplace was converted to burn coal, but is no longer working. Kitchen/Fireplace This kitchen (The Art Guild’s classroom) was added in approximately 1690. The large fireplace, where meals were cooked, is rumored to have hidden the family horse from the English during the revolution. It originally included a beehive oven.

Holding On To Summer Tips for bringing the indoors outside to extend the season

BY TANIA KAPOOR

With the month of August upon us, it seems like fall is just around the corner. We still have salt in our hair and can feel the ocean breeze on our faces, and we are not yet ready to welcome fall into our homes.

o how do we hold on to summer for just a little longer? Yes, there is the display with seashells and the nautical decorative cushions, but another way is to jump on the bandwagon of one of the biggest trends of 2021.

Blurring the lines between indoors and outdoors

This is not reserved only for the summer. We can continue blurring the lines as long as we are comfortable using our outdoor spaces and want to stay connected with nature.

Everything is larger

Large planters and flowerpots are a great addition to any front and backyard. They become part of the furnishings, adding visual interest, color, and fragrance. Place them next to the patio door so you can enjoy them not only when sitting outside but when you are inside and can gaze on the flowers through the glass doors. Planters and flowerpots are not only meant for summer flowers. Come September, plant Mums, Dusty Millers and Goldenrods and continue

Tania Kapoor

enjoying their bright colors for weeks. Use the planters and containers in the winter to plant and decorate a small pine tree, for a festive winter outdoors.

Bare those windows

Bare windows are the best way to allow natural light to enter your home. Reserve the use of your heavy, silk curtains

to cozy up a room in the winter and bring in more playful elements when the outside is grey and gloomy. The rest of the year, enjoy the natural light—it elevates the mood, and makes rooms and homes more welcoming and calming. There is something immensely calming in looking through the window when the tree branches are swaying in the wind. If you need to cover the windows, use sheers, or tension curtain rods which can be easily removed, so you can still see the outside and enjoy the outdoors whenever you want.

Carpets, firepits and blankets

Late summer and early fall are one of the best times to be outside, to open the doors and windows, to entertain or simply enjoy the sunset from your backyard. No heat, no bugs. Treat the outdoors like it is

another room in your home. Use comfortable furniture and define the different areas of the outdoors by placing outdoor runners and area rugs, and using planters and containers to bring in a focal point or

direct traffic. Create a gathering space around a table or a firepit. Or just use a blanket and have a backyard picnic. Tania Kapoor is a Manhassetbased interior designer and owner of Ogan Décor, LLC.

Longing For Homogeneity New historical novel set on Fire Island BY CHRISTY HINKO

till need a beachy summer read? Don’t pass up a chance to check out Patricia Beard’s first piece of fiction, A Certain Summer, set in Wauregan, loosely based on Point O’ Woods, an existing private vacation retreat |hamlet on Fire Island. “When my children were small we went to Point O’Woods and it was very much the way it is in the book, the same place it was in 1948,” Beard said. “It just has not changed very much.” A Certain Summer explores the aftermath of World War II in a place where “nothing ever changes.” The principal character is Helen Wadsworth, the wife (or possibly widow) of a World War II wartime intelligence Ofﬁce of Strategic Services (OSS) operative, who has been reported missing-in-action. Other major characters are Helen’s husband’s OSS partner, who survived the mission; a former Marine and his war dog; and Helen’s teenage son. “When Helen says that it (Wauregan) was her safe place, part of the reason is because of its homogeneity and its simplicity and the fact that it’s different from places where there was a lot more hustle and bustle.” Helen’s character took form naturally. “Helen is the way I imagined I might have been myself at that time in those circumstances,” Beard said. “It was pretty easy to write Helen and it was even easier to write Peter because he was so attractive.” The setting evolved quite genu-

“I mentioned in the book that Helen sprinkled baby powder between the sheets because they were so damp at the seashore, but that’s what I did when my children were little, so the beds (and the children) always had a lovely scent of Johnson’s baby powder.” Beard recalled in one instance. “Unfortunately, the house that I inely for Beard also. describe in the book, “When I was at which is the house Town & Counthat we rented for try, they had many years, was archives going swept out to sea.” back a hunSummer places dred and some have always been years,” Beard an important said. “I had the part of Beard’s idea of writing life.

History Mystery: A REVOLUTIONARY SURGEON LIES HERE BY CHRISTY HINKO

The Death of General Warren at the Battle of Bunker’s Hill, June 17, 1775 by John Trumbull (circa 18th century). Vintage etching circa 19th century.

Local gravesite marks the resting ground of true patriot

Pen and ink rendering of Christ Church as it looked in 1803.

hrist Church Manhasset is the final resting place of Dr. James Cogswell, a Revolutionary War patriot and surgeon who served on George Washington’s staff. At All Saints Cemetery in Kings Point (Great Neck) recently, geneologist Phyllis Sternemann was overheard telling an archivist who was also researching gravesites that one of the most interesting burials in Manhasset was a fascinating character from the Revolutionary War, but that it has been a labor of love trying to uncover new details of this man’s life.

Dr. James Cogswell’s headstone is located in Christ Church’s graveyard.

Daughters of the American Revolution dedicated a bronze plaque to the surgeon in the 1940s.

Two years ago, Christ Church hosted a cemetery walk and was able to cobble together a few facts from the existing headstone and a bronze plaque which had been donated to the church in 1949 by the North Riding Chapter, National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) organization. With dwindling membership of DAR and the disruption from the pandemic, research efforts had temporarily hit another road block. Grafted from the plaque, it is known that Cogswell was a philanthropist and was one of the originators of the New York Dispensary System of a Society for the Relief of Distressed Debtors. He was also one of the founders of the ﬁrst African school, which was established in New York City in 1787, as a one-room schoolhouse with 40 students. It was once located at 137 Mulberry St. but has since been razed for new development and apartment buildings. He was a devoted Christian. Sternemann shared some of her own research about Cogswell, revealing that he was a member of the Manumission Society, founded by John Jay to battle against slave trade and work toward emancipating slaves in New York. The organization was instrumental in passing a law in New York which prohibited the sale of slaves in 1785. Yale University’s library is a repository for the Cogswell family papers. Contained within the boxes are letters between Cogswell and his father according to the library’s ﬁnding aide. Efforts to obtain a new viewing appointment

Wife and husband re-enactors Rebekah Madebach and Clayton Tadler

at Yale, or at the very least to have one of the Yale archivists research the contents of the box to identify more clues about Cogswell, were canceled due to ongoing campus COVID restrictions. What was obtained several years ago from the Yale collection for the script of the 2019 cemetery walk and read by Clayton Tadler, acting as Cogswell, was a letter from the surgeon to his father, Rev. James Cogswell.

The first portion of one of the letters reads:

Camp at Roxbury, 7th June, 1775. Dear and Honored Sir, The bearer is just setting out, and I have but a few moments to employ in writing to you. We are all hurry and confusion here. We have been for several days expecting a visit from our neighbors and making preparations to give them a suitable reception. Last night 1,100 men began to break ground at Dorchester Hill, and have not been molested this morning. Col. Putnam began to intrench last night at Bonchee’s Hill, on Charleston side. They have fired a number of cannon upon him this morning, but the firing is now ceased. The troops are healthy, orderly, and in fine spirits, waiting with the utmost impatience to have the Regulars sally out. I live in a house with the worthy Gen. Spencer. He appears to me the most sagacious, active officer I have seen in the camp. The Generals in their colony (as it is now called) are worthy men, but they are not trained to make such quick dispatch of business as

military duty requires. I hope you will write to me frequently. Also obtained from the Yale papers is that Cogswell was born in Canterbury, CT, to James and Alice Fitch Cogswell on July 31, 1746. He studied medicine and began his practice in Preston, CT. He served as an army surgeon at Cambridge, MA, during the Battle of Bunker Hill. In August of 1776, he married Elizabeth Davenport and they settled in Stamford, CT, raising one child, Alice. His wife died in 1779. As the war progressed, Cogswell was called upon again to aid the patriot cause. He was assigned as regimental surgeon to General Gold Selleck Sillman, who was on duty at New York with the Connecticut militia. He took his younger brother, Mason on as his assistant. When the war ended, Cogswell returned home and remarried Abigail Lloyd four years later and had four children. They moved to New York where Cogswell continued his medical practice and maintained an apothecary business. Cogswell contracted yellow fever while attending to a sickened patient; he died on Nov. 22, 1792. Christ Church Manhasset Historic Cemetery Tour will be held this fall and re-enactors will portray other fascinating characters on Saturday, Oct. 2. This year’s tour will feature a World War I doughboy, an aristocrat, a grave digger, society lady, merchant, surveyor and ﬁre survivors, among several others. Manhasset’s history will come to life at the corner of Plandome Road and Northern Boulevard.

Bill Karlson

Academy alums’ distilled tribute to WWII midshipmen BY CHRISTY HINKO

rue to the motto of the United States Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) service academy, Acta non Verba (meaning “deeds, not words”), two academy alums (1982) and lifelong friends Bill Karlson and John O’Mara are the “K” and the “O” in KO Distilling, making a special tribute spirit they’ve named Battle Standard 142 Gin, in honor of the academy’s fallen World War II midshipmen.

The distillers met as classmates and cadet/midshipmen at the USMMA in Kings Point many years ago and have been friends ever since. After graduation, Karlson and O’Mara went their separate ways but followed similar paths. Both initially sailed in the Merchant Marine and served in the United States Navy Reserve. Upon retiring early, the question became, “what next?” Neither one being satisﬁed with sitting idle, in 2013 Karlson and O’Mara set off to create craft spirits with local ingredients, high-quality production methods and a passion that they were excited to share with their local community. Since breaking ground in 2015, the duo has turned KO Distilling into a state-of-the-art production facility and local attraction in Manassas, VA. After their initial offering of unaged craft whiskey and gins in 2015, Karlson and O’Mara realized their goal of producing their ﬁrst aged spirit, Bare Knuckle American Wheat Whiskey, in November 2016.

We had a chance to speak with KO Distilling Co-founder and CEO Karlson. Here’s what he had to say. Q. How did you come up with the idea to create Battle Standard 142 Gin? A. A gin lover, John deserves the credit for coming up with the name Battle Standard 142 and for insisting on us starting out with both 90 proof and Navy Strength (114 Proof) expressions of the gins. Q. What’s the significance of the 142 midshipmen? How is this gin historically relevant? A. Battle Standard 142 Gins are named in honor of the 142 Cadet/Midshipmen from the USMMA who lost their lives serving their country in World War II. KO Distilling co-founders’ alma mater, the USMMA, is the only federal academy authorized to fly a Battle Standard in memory of those brave men who made the ultimate sacrifice. During WWII, the American Merchant Marines had more deaths per capita than any U.S. military service. Many of the mariners, including the 142, who made the ultimate sacrifice sailed on liberty ships. The Navy Strength bottle has an image of the SS John W. Brown, while the Standard Strength bottle has an image of the SS Jeremiah O’Brien. Of the 2,710 liberty ships constructed in American shipyards from 1941 to 1945, only these two liberty ships remain in active service. The Brown and O’Brien are docked in Baltimore and San Francisco, respectively. Q. Was Battle Standard your first product? A. Because KO Co-Founder John O’Mara was a gin enthusiast, we opted to produce our own take on American-style gins. Battle Standard 142 gins were born. KO starting producing Standard and Navy Strength expressions of Battle Standard 142 in 2015. We added the Barrel Finished expression in 2016. Q. Explain the difference between the recipes. A. Battle Standard 142 Gin Standard Strength is the 90 proof variation of the Battle Standard 142 Gin Navy Strength. While they are distilled in the same fashion, this spirit is uniquely different in that its proofing allows you to taste the more delicate botanicals involved. Battle Standard 142 Gin Standard Strength has a subtle array of flavors that include juniper, citrus, cinnamon, spice, earth and floral notes. Battle Standard 142 Gin Navy Strength derives its name, “Navy Strength,” from the British Navy’s practice of proofing gin rations to 114 proof. This was done so that if spilled on the ship’s gunpowder, the gunpowder could still be fired in battle. Don’t let its higher proof fool you, Battle Standard 142 Gin Navy Strength is surprisingly smooth with big, bold and vibrant notes of juniper, citrus and cinnamon. Battle Standard 142 Gin Barrel Finished has been “rested” or “finished” in used bourbon barrels. This extra step creates a beautiful golden hue and imparts sweetness from the bourbon barrel, along with a slight oakiness. Battle Standard 142 Gin Barrel Finished combines its subtle array of botanical notes with the sweetness of the bourbon barrel to produce a wonderful flavor reminiscent of honey or honeysuckle. Q. Any plans to expand the brand, to possibly bring it to Long Island? A. KO Distilling products are currently available in retail stores in Washington, DC, Virginia and Maryland. The company is planning an expansion and because of the strong ties to USMMA, New York is on the top of our list; local distribution is in its planning phase. Battle Standard 142 is available online through Shared Pour (www.sharedpour.com).

The following is an excerpt from Braving the Wartime Seas by author and academy alum (1957) George Ryan: The Battle Standard

The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy is privileged among the nation’s five federal academies to be the only institution authorized to carry a battle standard as part of its color guard. The proud and colorful battle standard perpetuates the memory of the 142 Academy Cadet-Midshipmen who died during World War II. The 142

The number “142” is enshrined at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. Every plebe learns within days of reporting to Kings Point that 142 Cadet-Midshipmen died during World War II. Their names along with the names of graduates who died are cast in bronze on the Memorial facing Long Island Sound. Yet a review of the following pages will find that the hallowed number is hard to pin down regarding the circumstances of their death. Several of the “142” died while in training by accident or illness in the United States, far from the enemy’s torpedoes or bombs. Others, even while overseas in combat areas, died of disease, shipboard accidents or one in a traffic accident while ashore seeing the sights of exotic foreign lands. The same is also true for the Academy’s alumni who died during the war. There is some confusion about how the number 142 came about. A New York Times article on March 16, 1946 mentions “. . . war memorial services for the 132 cadet-midshipmen who lost their lives in training at sea with the Cadet Corps.” Other accounts indicate that Gordon McClintock, the Academy’s longest serving Superintendent, simply decreed that 142 was the number and ordered his staff to make the number work. Research into the Academy’s historical documents both at the Academy and in the National Archives shows that the end of World War II was a chaotic period in many ways. One of the methods of determining which of the thousands of war time U.S. Maritime Commission Cadets, Cadet Officers, Cadet-Midshipmen and Academy’s graduates had died was by sending letters to their last known address on the assumption that the Post Office would forward the letters and the recipient would respond. This method worked very well, but not perfectly. Thus, the name of one alumnus who did not actually die until the 1990s is on the War Memorial; the names of one Cadet-Midshipman a company cadet and a graduate are missing and Cadet Andrew Hoggatt who died in 1940 probably should not be there. Nothing is perfect, especially when dealing with human beings during wartime. However, the importance of “142” to Kings Point and Kings Pointers is not whether the number is factually correct. The actual number is irrelevant; 142 is the symbol that defines Kings Point as a unique institution, the only Federal Academy that routinely sends its students into combat. Only Kings Point has the honor of having a Regimental Battle Standard. Yet, the Academy would still have its Regimental Battle Standard if only 14 Cadet-Midshipmen had died in World War II combat. Should the War Memorial be “corrected” or “142” changed? No. The name of the one Kings Pointer on the memorial who didn’t die in World War II represents all of the thousands of Kings Pointers who volunteered to go into combat, came back, graduated and moved on with their lives. The names on the War Memorial include the “142”, Maritime Commission Cadet Officers and Kings Point graduates; every one of them, whoever they might be, represent the ultimate expression of the Academy’s motto “Acta non Verba – Deeds not Words”. Every Kings Pointer is a volunteer, just like the “142”. No one can force a person to go to Kings Point, let alone graduate; just like no one could force the “142” to go where they would ultimately die. This is the real message of the “142” to the generations of Kings Pointers who made the Academy what it is today and for those that will shape its future.

VOLVO: YOU SHOULD BE IN ONE The XC90 banks its reputation on two decades of automotive expertise

BY CHRISTY HINKO

among other details. “The XC model has been around for about 20 years,” Yankov said. “It’s safe, well-built and they last forever, with an 25-year lifespan.” In the cabin, the XC90 provides a calm and balanced environment with a blend of high-end materials such as wood, crystal and metal in a sophisticated Scandinavian design. The XC90 can be ordered with a range of different seating conﬁgurations, from the seven-seat family SUV to a brand new six-seat conﬁguration. New interior materials including a wool blend offer further options for personalization.

ollege professors have known something that, for more than 20 years, the rest of us did not realize. Not only is the Volvo brand classically stylish, it is amazingly safe to boot. We had a chance to speak with Helms Brothers Volvo Sales Manager Daniel Yankov about this exciting time for the brand, specifically the current success of its XC90 SUV model.

“Volvo has evolved a lot; it’s not just college professionals anymore, we are getting a lot of new customers, a great mix of everyone from all demographics, especially young families who want to put their families in something safe, that also looks very nice,” Yankov said. “Historically, higher-learning professionals, college professors and well-educated people have been the most notable customers of Volvo and Saab.” Yankov has been with Helms Brothers in Bayside for more than 20 years and with its Volvo brand for nearly four years now. He said the brand has been surprised with the way the pandemic has shaped their business. “With COVID, we have sold and leased a lot of cars, especially to first-time car buyers,” Yankov said. “People did not want to be on the train or on public transportation during that time.” A majority of the car transactions, in many of the vehicle brands, as well as Volvo, are leases, as opposed to outright sales. “More than 80 percent of our clients are leasing,” Yankov confirmed. This year’s popular Volvo model is the XC90, a large, seven-seat SUV and the company’s flagship. It was the first car to be launched on the Scalable Product Architecture (SPA), Volvo’s advanced modular product platform that underpins all Volvo cars in the 90 and 60 series. “People who necessarily don’t want to be flashy and show that they are successful, buy the car because it’s understated, but extremely safe,” Yankov said. “It’s a seven-passenger vehicle, so there’s plenty of room for the kids.” Like its siblings S90 and V90, the XC90 carries the proud and confident face of Volvo’s design language, along with classic Volvo styling cues. Key features include the iconic “Thor’s Hammer” LED headlight design and the Volvo word mark on the rear. The car’s exterior design was upgraded for the 2020 model year with new wheels, exterior colors and a modern new grill,

Connectivity and infotainment All new Volvos are now connected, thanks to Volvo’s connectivity and infotainment system. It delivers an intuitive touch screen interface that combines car functions, navigation, connected services and in-car entertainment applications such as Spotify, Pandora, Baidu or TuneIn. The portrait-oriented touch screen enables easy and fast access to a host of functions and features. Smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is also available.

Powertrain technology The XC90 is powered by Volvo’s Drive-E powertrains, including petrol and diesel variants as well as a T8 Twin Engine AWD petrol plug-in hybrid that delivers as much as 407hp. It is also available with a range of 48 volt mild hybrid variants on both petrol and diesel powertrains. “With everything shifting to electric, Volvo’s goal is for every model to be electric, or at least a hybrid, by 2025,” Yankov said. “They are a very progressive company.”

Safety and driver assistance

The XC90’s comfortable seating options for up to seven occupants are designed for journeys best shared.

Volvo’s leadership in the field of automotive safety is confirmed in the XC90. The SPA platform has resulted in the strongest Volvo cars to date because of extensive use of boron steel, as well as numerous safety systems designed to protect people inside and outside the car. “God forbid, if you are in an accident, you should be in a Volvo. The XC-90, in more than 20 years that it has been on the road, has not had a single fatality as a result of a car accident,” Yankov said. “Not that there have not been accidents, but not many brands, if any, can say that.” Helms Brothers, established in 1934, has three dealership franchises, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and Volvo. The business continues its tradition of being family-owned, originally by the brothers, Charlie and Frank. And now by Doug Callahan. Helms Brothers’ Volvo Cars of Queens is located at 207-22 Northern Blvd. in Bayside. Visit www. volvocarsofqueens.com or call 833-240-0072 for sales, service assistance and to test drive the 2021 XC90 SUV. Visit www.volvocars.com to learn more about the brand and specific models.

TAKE ME BACK TO CHICAGO

Rock and Roll Hall of Famers return to the road and plan 2022 album BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

When the great COVID-19 lockdown slammed the brakes on the entire live music industry, like every other touring act, Chicago and its members were forced to head back to their individual homes and wait out the pandemic storm.

or founding member Robert Lamm, this meant beelining to Southern California with Joy Kopko, his wife of 30 years, where the couple sequestered for months. It was both a shock to the system and a welcome respite for Lamm, who has been recording and touring with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group ever since he launched it back in 1967 along with Peter Cetera, Terry Kath, Lee Loughnane, James Pankow, Walter Parazaider and Danny Seraphine. For the self-described loner, this metaphysical pause button allowed him to delve deeper into his creative side. “For me, I knew it was going to be a long time—I just didn’t know how long,” Lamm recalled. “Lately in my life, I haven’t really had time to plan anything, so I just sat down in my little studio at the piano and started playing. I started pulling out ideas

that I had stockpiled over the years and exploring that music. I began thinking about how I always wanted to write with this guy or that guy. I just started calling old friends and, in some cases, new friends. I began collaborating using file sharing. That kind of really became my everyday thing. It was so much fun and such an old process of sitting down and finding out what is there—what is it that I have to say? Lyrically, especially, I found out I was getting deeper and deeper in terms of things I wanted to say and do, things I wanted to express, but I just hadn’t had time to explore that before. It was really a wonderful thing for me.” One of the collaborations Lamm struck was with Jim Peterik, a founding member of fellow horn-driven band The Ides of March and later of Survivor. Despite only having met Peterik at a show a couple of years ago, Lamm quickly bonded with

his new writing partner. (“His work method and my work method really blended together.”) Before long, the Lamm/Peterik partnership caught the ear of BMG producer Joe Thomas (Brian Wilson/ Dave Matthews Band), who insisted Lamm’s news songs could be the basis for a new label deal for the band, a notion that surprised the septuagenerian musician. “[Joe] asked me if I thought Chicago might want to record some of these songs and I said I could only ask as it wasn’t really my plan,” Lamm said. “It turned out to be the plan. We’re about halfway through a really interesting album with Joe Thomas as producer and BMG as our releasing label. I guess it’ll drop right after the first of the year. We thought we were done and that there wasn’t any record company interested in late-career Chicago. But they were very interested after they heard the songs.” As an act known for its relentless road schedule, not having missed one year of touring since the beginning, Lamm admits there’ll be the need for him and his bandmates to get together to knock off the rust, starting with a quick 11-show stint of gigs before taking a quick break and then tackling 80 more dates through the end of 2021. It becomes even more challenging when trying to incorporate newer material in with Chicago classics. “We just kind of talked briefly and we’re going to start with where we left off,” Lamm said. “There are probably a few little adjustments we intended to make anyway in terms of the song lineup, who sings what and where they’re going to stand when they sing it. [Playing new songs] is always a tricky thing. We’re a legacy band, so we have to really take care of our fans when we do this. I know when I go to a show, I want to hear the songs that I’m familiar with of the artist whose concert I’m attending. I don’t particularly want to hear a lot of stuff I’m not familiar with.”

Back To The Beginning There are many sides to a band like Chicago—a self-described “rock and roll band with horns,” a steady presence on MTV during the early to mid-1980s and an outfit capable of churning out ballads that often find their way into wedding vows and prom themes (I have personally experienced the latter). And while the identity of this group can be debated, the one indisputable fact is that this outfit has enjoyed an unbroken string of longevity that not only dates to its 1967 founding, but the release of its 1969 debut Chicago Transit Authority. Over the course of the band’s career, Chicago had amassed an impressive canon over their five-plus decades of playing together; in addition to carving out a respected live show that’s developed out of a combination of an unparalleled work ethic and relentless time on the road. Chicago has sold more than 100 million records worldwide while amassing 47 gold and platinum records, Chicago Transit Authority, Chicago’s along with 70 charting songs. self-titled 1969 debut album, yielded Driven by the four founding two Top 10 hits, “Does Anybody members—Robert Lamm Really Know What Time It Is?” and (keyboards, vocals), Lee “Beginnings.” Loughnane (trumpet, vocals), James Pankow (trombone) and Walt Parazaider (woodwinds)—the band has toured and not missed a year of playing live since the beginning. Parazaider’s Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis back in April of this year led to his coming off the road and having his role filled by saxophonist Ray Hermann. Lamm found out shortly after it was announced. “Walt’s wife texted us and I had an exchange with him,” Lamm said. “It was not too long after it was discovered and he was already under treatment and therapy. We’re hoping for the best. We’re sort of at the age when we’re really noticing that certain people are not around anymore. It’s the passage of time and life.” Pre-pandemic, the band’s last tour focused on recreating The band’s 1970 sophomore bow Chi1970’s critically and commercago II, was the group’s breakthrough cially successful sophomore effort and features a trio of Top 10 bow Chicago II, a case of givhits–”Make Me Smile,” “Colour My ing the people what they want. World” and “25 or 6 to 4.” “We were out performing with a 10-man line-up and calling the tour, ‘Chicago and Their Hits,’ which is a bit of a misnomer because we were not just doing hits. We were doing songs that we wanted to do,” Lamm said. “There’s very little in the Chicago repertoire that’s performable on a nightto-night basis that most people are not familiar with. Even if you’re not a fan, you could hardly avoid Chicago’s stuff on the radio for at least four decades. Even now, certain aspects of the repertoire—the music is played somewhere in the world constantly. We’re very lucky.” For those looking for a more in-depth examination of the band’s long and illustrious history, Now More Than Ever: The History of Chicago is a solid jumping-off point. The award-winning documentary, Now More Than Ever: The History released around the time the of Chicago is a 2016 documentary band was receiving its 2016 that originally aired on CNN induction into the Rock & Roll of Fame, perfectly chronicled the ups and downs of this wildly successful group. For Lamm, the organic way it came about was what helped define the end result. “The director/cameraman was Peter Pardini, a then-recent graduate of the UCLA Film School at the time. He happens to be the

nephew of Lou Pardini, our other keyboardist and vocalist. Peter traveled with us quite a bit,” Lamm explained. “For a band this late in their career, we were still doing very interesting projects and returning to Europe after being away for 25 years, along with touring through Asia, and a number of other things. Peter was always around with a camera. Because he was sort of family, we were very comfortable with him being around. Every once in awhile, he’d ask to interview us in a way where he’d be off camera. That was a very comfortable situation and after a short while, we became much less self-aware and were very relaxed. As a result, after all these hours and a couple of years, he got us to talk about things we generally weren’t asked about and didn’t particularly talk about. For me, a lot of it is talking about the past, which is not something I particularly think about. I’m usually thinking about now and tomorrow.” Chock full of vintage footage balanced by more contemporary interview segments, Now More Than Ever not only captures the band’s commercial triumphs, but shone a light on the brilliance of late guitarist/founding member Terry Kath. It also addressed the fissures in the band in the post-Kath era that included a number of personnel changes, most notably that of vocalist/bassist Peter Cetera, who declined to be interviewed for the film. And while the three years before Cetera’s departure coincided with Chicago getting dropped by CBS, getting picked up by Warner Brothers subsidiary Full Moon Records and scoring a string of David Foster-produced Top 20 hits, less emphasis was placed on the band’s horn-driven sound and the group wound up becoming known for its power ballads. The friction that came out of this kind of success is something Lamm has a considerably different perspective about decades later. “Hindsight is a great view, because somehow we lived through that. But, I also have come to learn from that experience. I really feel that David did what he was hired to do, which was almost impossible because he was taking a band that had been very successful—internationally. But we were down for the count, as far as our career was concerned, for a number of reasons,” the Brooklyn native said. “But, he did what he had to do and he did it the way a good producer does it. He makes the decisions. He gets the music written and produced. He gets the music performed and if he has to bring in a session player, he does that because time is of the essence. And time was of the essence. I think everything he did, he did right. Personality-wise has nothing to do with it, because it was really about getting the music done and getting it done to sound as great as he could get it. He did what he was supposed to do. I was really troubled going through it. But now I look at it and think that it didn’t kill me and it all worked out okay. I have nothing but respect for David.”

Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Recognition While Lamm’s view of Chicago’s 2016 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame provided quite a bit of self satisfaction (“I felt vindicated for the band. I was very happy for the band. But none of that compared to how much fun it was to actually be in Brooklyn rehearsing and meeting some of the other inductees,”) Cetera’s decision to not show up alongside the band was a bit puzzling to Lamm. “I’ve talked to Peter off and on and met with him over the years.

I didn’t realize how intensely he felt that he could never, for any reason, stand or play with the band again—except on his terms,” Lamm said. “I just didn’t understand that. I don’t dislike the guy or anything like that. I think he’s a good and nice man. He’s a great bass player and no one can argue with the beauty of his voice and singing. But I didn’t understand and don’t understand the intensity of his feelings. But I’m not at liberty to say what he told me.”

Looking Forward The latest juncture in Lamm’s career found him hitting the reset button on his creative pursuits. During his pandemic-fueled downtime, the Brooklyn native did songwriting woodshopping by doing deep dives into composers ranging from Neil Young and Burt Bacharach to exploring myriad soundtracks from Hollywood’s Golden Age. These efforts have yielded fruit in the shape of a potential solo effort on BMG that may get released next year. “As I was inundating Joe Thomas with these songs, he said after this album comes out he’d produce my solo album for BMG,” Lamm said. “I asked him if he was sure that BMG would want it and he said, ‘Believe me, they’re going to want it.’” As for Chicago’s longevity. Lamm’s feeling is that it comes down to the basics. “I credit the songs and the music. Obviously, the sound of the band is appealing to a lot of people. The way the horns are used is very different than what other bands do. The idiosyncrasies of the way [they sound]—and believe me, I really had a chance to consider that when we did Chicago II. Those aren’t even songs— those are compositions,” he said. “Who knows why ‘Saturday in the Park’ is so popular? I think that when I was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, I was of course asked to do something from Chicago, which I did. I think I performed ‘Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?’ and I rehearsed with a New York session band, which was the back-up group. Even those guys said, ‘It’s a great song man.’”

This year marks Chicago’s 53rd anniversary as a band (Peter C. Pardini)

Dreaming Of Seaside Grecian Cuisine Oniro Taverna offers casual, rustic dining BY CHRISTY HINKO

If you are looking for authentic Greek cuisine with freshly imported ingredients, you must try Oniro Taverna, a beautiful favorite, co-owned by the Spyropoulos family (co-owners of Limani on Long Island and Manhattan), in Woodbury since May 2018.

niro—meaning dream—channels the aesthetic of a Greek tavern; it is rustic and casual, yet refined and modern. Oniro offers a space big enough for private events, but intimate enough to host a romantic date for two. The menu at Oniro Taverna, with Greek staples reimagined by Executive Chef Peter Spyropoulos (previously of Bouley and Le Cirque), offers a great selection of exceedingly delicious flavors, from both land and sea, as well as plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options. I chose an appetizer assortment for my first visit to Oniro Taverna so that I could get the best sampling of all of the Mediterranean flavors

being offered. Here are some of my suggestions: Ananas: Pineapple-infused cocktail on the rocks is a refreshing start to a hearty meal. The vodka is not too astringent and pairs well with the freshly infused pineapple. The fruit is really up front on this beverage. All of the wait staff have been trained to mix and prepare cocktails. Agiorgitiko: The Greek Wine Cellars (GWC) 2017 red wine from Santorini is full-bodied, grapey and also a great choice to kick off the meal. Oniro has an extensive selection of Greek wines featuring a medley of white, red, and rosé. Meze: the appetizers range in price from $12 to $21. Complementary hum-

mus with bread is a solid start to the meal, but don’t fill up on it. You’ll need room for all of the goodness being prepared for your table while you wait. Keftedakia (meatballs): Sautéed lamb and beef Greek meatballs with parsley, dill and mint are drizzled with olive oil. These small-sized meatballs are the perfect blend of lamb and beef, but the lamb does not steal the show in the mixture. Spanikopita (spinach pie): two full, enough for 3-4 people, crispy, yet thin phyllo dough cradles of spinach, leek and feta. Because it is a classic, it is critical for it to be this good. Garides Loukoumades (shrimp tempura): Another generous-portion appetizer is the bite-sized shrimp tempura. Eating it by itself is good, but pairing it with the

Eggplant and zucchini chips

The Greek salad is ultra-fresh.

accompanying mildly spicy aioli, even better. Elliniki (Greek salad): The ultra-fresh vegetables look like they were just picked from someone’s garden before the chef put it together. It is not a lettuce-based salad. It has sliced white onion, Kalamata olives (imported), cucumber, and a ton of vine-ripened tomato, topped with imported barrel-aged feta and sprouts. Saganaki: These pillows of lightly fried imported Kefalograviera cheese are topped with leeks, olive oil and oregano, simple yet perfect accents to many of Oniro Taverna’s dishes. If you are a cheese lover, especially if you have never had saganaki, it is a must for your cheese bucket list. The Kefalograviera has a distinct flavor.

Octapodi: the perfectly grilled sashimi-quality octopus with red onion, capers and bell pepper is drizzled with freshly imported olive oil. Entrees: Pasta dishes ($34). Whole fish are set at market price and are typically imported from the Mediterranean Sea. Seafood dishes ($26-33). Meat entrees (beef, chicken, lamb) range in price from $26 to $45. Desserts: When you taste Oniro’s Greek yogurt, you will understand why it’s imported. It is not like anything you have ever tasted before. The honey and sour cherry preserves are also imported. The classic walnut cake and rice pudding are familiar versions of traditional family recipes. Oniro Taverna has plenty of parking and tons of indoor and outdoor seating. There

Greek yogurt is heavenly. are off-the-menu options for kids, including chicken fingers and pasta. Online ordering, curbside pickup and delivery (via GrubHub and Doordash) are also available.
