BY JENNIFER FAUCI

ere’s the story / Of a lovely lady / Who was bringing up three very lovely girls / All of them had hair of gold / Like their mother / The youngest one in curls / It’s the story / Of a man named Brady / Who was busy with three boys of his own / They were four men / Living all together / Yet they were all alone / ’Til the one day when the lady met this fellow / And they knew that it was much more than a hunch / That this group must somehow form a family / That’s the way we all became the Brady bunch. A cute theme song, a signature blue grid tictac-toe background and a message of love and acceptance is all it took to make The Brady Bunch one of the most beloved sitcoms of all time. Created by Sherwood Schwartz, the show aired from Sept. 26, 1969 to March 8, 1974, on ABC. Although it was only on for five years, The Brady Bunch captured hearts as one of the first shows to depict a blended family. Brady Patriarch and widowed architect Mike Brady (Robert Reed) was busy with his three boys, Greg (Barry Williams), Peter (Christopher Knight) and Bobby (Mike Lookinland), while single mother Carol Martin (Florence Henderson) was raising her three girls, Marcia (Maureen McCormick), Jan (Eve Plumb) and Cindy (Susan Olsen). As fairytale would have it, the two meet and fall in love, combining their two families, which also includes Mike’s live-in housekeeper, Alice Nelson (Ann B. Davis), and the boys’ dog, Tiger, to live together in a large, two-story house in a Los Angeles suburb. The show’s first season storyline was met with adjustments, gender rivalries and resentments that are inherent in blended families. In a memorable early episode when the comment of a step-family was raised, Carol tells Bobby that the only “steps” in their household lead to the second floor, a warm and sweet sentiment that many children of divided households held dear as they watched the show. From then on, the Brady Bunch grew up with the six siblings as they navigated self-image, character building, academics, responsibility and love. During the series’ original run, the Brady kids even recorded several albums on Paramount’s record label. Although it was competing alongside other popular television shows of the 1970s, like Happy Days, All in the Family, The Partridge Family and Three’s Company, The Brady Bunch’s success in syndication led to several television reunion films and spin-off series including, The Brady Bunch Hour (1976–77), The Brady Girls Get Married (1981), The Brady Brides (1981), A Very Brady Christmas (1988), and The Bradys (1990). In 1995, the series was

adapted into a satirical comedy theatrical film titled The Brady Bunch Movie, followed by A Very Brady Sequel in 1996. A second sequel, The Brady Bunch in the White House, aired on Fox in November 2002 as a made-for-television film. The show celebrates 50 groovy years on Sept. 26, and in honor of the special anniversary, HGTV has

teamed up with the Brady kids to take on a massive renovation of their TV home, restoring it to its former ’70s glory. The partnership was announced in November 2018, proclaiming that the actors were reuniting for the 2019 HGTV series, A Very Brady

LITERATURE

Literature buffs: Novelists confront the Sixties and Seventies BY JOE SCOTCHIE

jScotcHie@antonmediagroup.com

or American literature, the 1960s began on a melancholy turn. The early years saw the passing of four greats of modernism: Ernest Hemingway, Robert Frost, William Faulkner and T.S. Eliot. The decade itself began on a wave of optimism: Peace and prosperity and the idealistic John F. Kennedy in the White House. By the end of the decade, a different story: Violence at home, violence abroad, a nation more divided than at any time since before the Civil War. The novelist rode high during the 1960s and ’70s. With the passing of Frost and Eliot, there didn’t seem to be any successor, save the confessional verse of Robert Lowell. But there were plenty of contenders for the crown of Hemingway and Faulkner. The decade saw the rise of both conventional fiction and a postmodern school. Such novels as Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 (1962), Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five (1969) and Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow (1973) weren’t about Vietnam, but these World War II novels were anti-war and they captured the growing disillusionment with the war in Indochina. The modernism of the 1920s dramatized the shock of recognition: A classical civilization being destroyed on the killing fields of Europe during the Great War. It also inspired such Christian apologists as Eliot, C.S. Lewis and G.K. Chesterton. This is the way home. Post-modernism, however, often emphasized black humor, cynicism and despair. The post-World War II era represented the rise of suburbia, a boom that continued into the go-go Sixties. The fiction of John Updike and John Cheever attempted to put a human face on this new man and his environs: Stories and novels complete with cocktail parties, addictions, swimming pools, adultery, families torn apart and brought back together. Updike’s Rabbit Angstrom, the protagonist of four novels, became the representative fictional character. Angstrom, an ex-high school basketball star who plunged headfirst into life’s experiences,

was significant also in that he was a blue-collar worker who never attended college. Today, the middle-class means a college degree, but in the postwar era, a middle-class was very much a blue-collar phenomenon as the American manufacturing economy ruled the world in unprecedented fashion. Along with fiction, the Sixties and Seventies saw the debut of the New Journalism. Here, the author injected himself into the story, turning an event into a novel-like narrative. Most prominent was Hunter Thompson’s Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ‘72 (1973) and a string of books by Norman Mailer. The latter started as a novelist and hit his stride with The Armies of the Night

(1968), a report on the 1967 anti-war march on the Pentagon, and Miami and the Siege of Chicago (1968), a dramatic coverage of that year’s political conventions, especially the rioting that shook the Democratic Party gathering in Chicago. Civilization, as the novelist Caroline Gordon observed, is a matter of constantly skating on thin ice. By the summer of 1967, the United States, in shocking fashion, had crashed through the surface. The novelist could not keep silent. Two novels, which confronted the Grand Smash of the Sixties, were Saul Bellow’s Mr. Sammler’s Planet (1970) and Walker Percy’s dystopian Love in the Ruins (1973). Bellow’s novel concerns an elderly Holocaust survivor, widowed and exiled in New York City, observing and occasionally confronting the barbarism around him: Petty crime, a promiscuous youth, plus a rude college student who interrupts a Sammler lecture on George Orwell at Columbia University with a string of obscenities. Percy’s hero is Dr. Thomas More, a psychiatrist who dreams of winning a Nobel Prize for an invention that will cure mental illnesses plaguing the land. Meanwhile he is stuck in a literal war zone complete with sealed windows and an armed citizenry. Sammler mourns the passing of a cousin who had brought him to the United States. More gives up his pipe dream and works to keep his invention out of the wrong hands. The novel is a highly moral undertaking. In the world of Updike, Cheever, Bellow and Percy, the hero makes the journey home to the world of responsibility, doing right by his family, his neighbors and his community. The fate of civilization, however, is another story. What made Hemingway and Faulkner unique? In an interview, Updike once maintained it was the intensity level of those two men’s work that mattered. By those lights, I would list Mr. Sammler’s Planet and Miami and the Siege of Chicago as standout works due to that same intensity factor. The Sixties and Seventies followed an old calculus: A bad time to live in, but a good one to write about. JOY DIDONATO Director of Circulation LINDA BACCOLI Director of Business Administration

MUSIC

BY ROY ABRAMS editoriaL@antonmediagroup.com

avid Crosby looks fearlessly into the waning light of his life, embracing the time remaining to him with all the energy and enthusiasm of a child waking up to a sunny summertime morning. CSN and CSNY are now things of the past, but all is well in Crosby’s world. The fire still burns, the muse still beckons, and the voice still soars. Moving gracefully into his 79th year, “the Croz” has entered what he stoically knows is the home stretch of his mortal journey, but this outspoken troubadour, the delightfully eccentric wizard responsible for writing some of the best self-proclaimed “weird shit” of this or any other time, continues to exude the energy of eternal youth. It’s in his voice, it’s in his attitude and it’s fueled by the musical company he keeps these days. Since 2014, Crosby has entered a true Golden Age of creativity, recording and releasing four critically and commercially-acclaimed albums within a fiveyear span. He has toured America and Europe with two markedly different bands: the Lighthouse Band, an acoustic-based affair consisting of Crosby, Snarky Puppy’s Michael League, and singer-songwriters Becca Stevens and Michelle Willis, and also the Sky Trails Band, an electric, jazz-infused rock conglomerate featuring Crosby, his son James Raymond, Jeff Pevar, Steve DiStanislao, Mai Leisz and Michelle Willis. On tour with the latter band this summer, the shows are leaving audiences exhilarated and rapturous from the sheer musical magnificence that emanates from the stage, night after night. On July 19, Sony Pictures premiered the highly-anticipated documentary, David Crosby: Remember My Name, in select theaters in New York City and Los Angeles. A general release is scheduled to follow. The documentary was directed by A. J. Eaton and produced by veteran music journalist Cameron Crowe, of whom Crosby notes, “He and I have been friends ever since he was 17 years old. We introduced him to girls, and his mom definitely wanted to have us all shot.” Crosby says that the experience was cathartic, and paradoxical in that it brought pain, but also much joy. “If you’re making a documentary, normally, it’s very shallow. They go around and get anybody famous that you’ve ever met; they stick a mic in front of their face, and ask, ‘Isn’t he great? Isn’t he wonderful?’ This one, we wanted to give you an honest picture of a guy, and how he accomplished the good things he did and why he did the stupid things he did, and who he was. You don’t want to just prettify the picture; you want to find out who the person is. That’s how all three of us looked at it. There was a unity of purpose; we definitely felt that we knew what we wanted to do

and we did it, and it was very honest.” In addition to touring this summer, Crosby is working on his fifth album in as many years, this time around with the Sky Trails Band. Describing the recording process, he relates, “We’re just going song by song, going right down in the trenches, taking each song as we get it, and serving that song. Then we’ll figure out that stuff later on, as we go along. I don’t know why I’m making the albums one after the other…well, I do. That’s a lie. I do know why. It doesn’t make sense, because they’re not paying me for them. Streaming just really killed it, man. Streaming’s the reason I had to sell my boat. It took away half my income, because they just don’t pay us. Streaming is like if you worked for three weeks and they paid you a nickel. It’s not okay. They’re making billions— with a “b”—of dollars, and they’re not paying us, and it’s our music. I’m very resentful about that one. It left me pretty broke. The only way I can make any money at all is by my performances. I’m not in a big band; I’m a leftover from a big band, so it’s been very difficult that way. But I do think I’m making really good music. This new song I’m doing with James might be better than all the others put together.” On his frenetic writing/recording/touring pace during the past five years, Crosby is as gratefully surprised as his fans. “The truth is that I can’t explain this resurgence

but it’s there. The only smart thing I’m doing is recognizing it and working as hard as I can. If I’m going to be allowed to be a good writer at this stage of my life, and given a voice to sing really well, I am going to write and sing constantly. And, praise the Lord in between. It’s fantastic for me, man. I don’t want to slag my previous partners, man. I like ‘em all, they’re all good guys, and they’ve all done really good work. But I don’t want to go back there.” Crosby keeps active outside the music world as well. Rolling Stone has recently launched its Ask Croz column, which gives the artist a chance to expand on his now-famous Twitter presence. Explaining how this evolved, Crosby says, “They were looking at the Twitter thing and (my following) of 130,000 people and stuff. They liked the attitude of it. They said, ‘we’ll send you a bunch of questions, pick the ones you think you can be funniest about or that you can deal with best’…it’s a great thing, because the questions (are) like them teeing the ball up for you and handing you the bat. You can take a swing at the thing and put it where you want, pretty much. So, it’s fun. It’s certainly an opportunity to get in trouble.” A conversation with Crosby would not be complete if the subject of America’s current political situation were not touched upon. Asked about the crop of Democratic candidates, he is quick to respond. “I’d be happy with any of them. Whichever one of them becomes the candidate, I will work for, because I don’t want this son of a bitch ruining my country anymore.” Visit www.longislandweekly.com to read a longer version of this story.

Sea Barrier For South Shore In Doubt BY MARCO SCHADEN mschaden@antonmediagroup.com

s hurricane season is upon us, the South Shore of Long Island is just as vulnerable as it was before Sandy. The superstorm put politicians to work, asking for funding to protect the northeast coastline. The Army Corps of Engineers has been working on these projects; the normal feasibility study for the Corps is three years at a cost of no more than $3 million. The funding for the Back Bays of Nassau County feasibility study is set to expire on Sept. 30 and the Philadelphia District of the Army Corps, the group working on the Nassau County Back Bays project, is asking their superiors for more time and money. “All the federal work thus far on Nassau’s Back Bays would be for naught if the feds simply left the resiliency project unfinished, to collect dust on some shelf while the threat of major storms and hurricanes that might impact Long Island remains on the table,” said U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer. The Philadelphia District has requested a $6 million budget and another three years in order to properly conduct the feasibility test. “We’re coordinating with our higher headquarters on the exemption request for the study and don’t have any updates to share at this time,” said Stephen Rochette, the public affairs officer for the Philadelphia District, which is working on this project because of their experience on back bay sites in their own district.

Alternative 3 or Nonstructural Focused Strategy focuses on reducing economic damages to structures within the flood zone by using nonstructural measures, but the Army Corps also states that structural features could be used in certain situations. Natural and nature-based features and small-scale structural measures may be used. The Army Corps also states the alternative of doing nothing in its status report.

Four Ways Family Businesses Can Thrive Through Multiple Generations BY RAMÉZ BAASSIRI

Eeditorial@antonmediagroup.com

hile public corporations attract more media attention, family businesses also make a major impact on the U.S. and world economies. Family firms comprise more than half of all U.S. companies and generate at least 50 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product, according to the Harvard Business School. And twothirds of businesses around the world are family-owned, The Family Firm Institute reports. The flip side: About 70 percent of family-owned businesses in the U.S. and worldwide fail, or are sold, before the second generation can assume ownership. And only 10 to 15 percent make it to generation three. Family businesses that do survive are the ones willing to

keep an eye on new horizons. Being open to change and innovation is one key to keeping a business relevant and successful throughout generations. Just because a business model or product has worked in the past doesn’t mean it will continue to do so.

the newest generation is all that stands between success and failure.

Carry strong values forward

Good values sustain family businesses because they can be constant and recognizable to customers, no matter the amount of change in the marketplace. You can’t live trying to fill the footsteps of those who went before you. All you can do is live the values your parents taught and what the business was founded upon, teach them and continue them while seeking to move ahead.

Build on your core

The core elements of running a family business— how to evaluate a balance sheet, review a marketing plan, and initiate an advertising process—should be grasped by multiple family members in order to build a solid structure. And re-educating yourself and others is an invaluable quality to growing the family business.

Embrace and engineer change Change in the demand for

products or services is inevitable to any family business. There are no limits to reinventing yourself or your family business. Our family embraced change by investing in and developing our businesses. For example, we moved from land cultivation to engineering over

COLUMN

Oh, Greta

n Sept. 18, I listened to Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swedish climate activist who testified before a U.S. Congressional hearing on climate change. Her message was brief and then she answered questions along with a number of fellow youth climate activists. She told the congressional members that she had no prepared remarks and, instead, was leaving them with written testimony. She said, “I am submitting this report as my testimony because I don’t want you to listen to me, I want you to listen to the scientists. And I want you to unite behind the science. And then I want you to take real action.” Nevertheless, four months earlier she did offer more extensive remarks to the British Parliament. Here, in part, is what she said: “My name is Greta Thunberg. I am 16 years old. I come from Sweden. And I speak on behalf of future generations. I know many of you don’t want to listen to us—you say we are just children. But we’re only repeating the message of the united climate science. “Many of you appear concerned that we are wasting valuable lesson time, but I assure you we will go back to school the moment you start listening to science and give us a future. Is that really too much to ask? “In the year 2030, I will be 26 years old. My little sister Beata will be 23. Just like many of your own children or grandchildren. That is a great age, we have been told. When you have all of your life ahead of you. But I am not so sure it will be that great for us. “I was fortunate to be born in a time and place where everyone told us to dream big; I could become whatever I wanted to. I could live wherever I wanted to. People like me had everything we needed and more. Things our grandparents could not even dream of. We had everything we could ever wish for and yet now we may have nothing. “Now we probably don’t even have a future any more. “Because that future was sold so that a small number of people could make unimaginable amounts of money. It was stolen from us every time you said that the sky was the limit and that you only live once. “You lied to us. You gave us false hope. You told us that the future was something to look forward to. And the saddest thing is that most children are

not even aware of the fate that awaits us. We will not understand it until it’s too late. And yet we are the lucky ones. Those who will be affected the hardest are already suffering the consequences. But their voices are not heard.” Greta went on to offer more specific information about reductions in greenhouse gases including methane gas escaping from rapidly thawing arctic permafrost. A note of clarification: When methane leaks into the air before being used it absorbs the sun’s heat, warming the atmosphere. If you would like more scientific detail you can read Greta’s full remarks to Parliament by clicking the link provided at the bottom of this column. Greta concluded her remarks by stating, “We children are not sacrificing our education and our childhood for you to tell us what you consider is politically possible in the society that you have created. We have not taken to the streets for you to take selfies with us, and tell us that you really admire what we do. “We children are doing this to wake the adults up. We children are doing this for you to put your differences aside and start acting as you would in a crisis. We children are doing this because we want our hopes and dreams back. “I hope my microphone was on. I hope you could all hear me.” Just as Greta wanted Congress to listen to the scientists, I would like you to listen to her.

Walk Like A Man The early novels of Richard Price

BY JOE SCOTCHIE

Jjscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

n the movie adaptation of Richard Price’s 1973 novel, The Wanderers, the opening scene shows a character from the film, Joey Capra, racing through the hallways of a large Bronx public high school while the Four Seasons classic “Walk Like A Man” blares in the background. You couldn’t come up with a more appropriate tune. Manhood—whether it is thrust upon a youngster or whether it remains a failure—is a theme of The Wanderers and Price’s other early novels. Is it true that Price has turned 70? It was only yesterday that a teenager read a People magazine article about the young author and his first novel. Price has traveled far from The Bronx to the world of literary, and later, film and television writing success. Those early novels—The Wanderers,

Bloodbrothers and Ladies Man—remain my favorite works. In those works, he achieved a necessary goal of the novelist: Putting a human face on characters from that borough, home to Yankee Stadium and the Bronx Zoo, and once the symbol (“the South Bronx”) of urban decay in America. The Wanderers were Perry La Guardia, Joey Capra, Richie Gennaro, Eugene Caputo and Buddy Borsalino. All but Eugene lived in a North Bronx project. The theme is the typical boy-to-man journey. The Wanderers

are tough, but frightened. They bond as brothers against the world—not just against other gangs, but also against parents, girlfriends, teachers and the public school factories. None are would-be criminals. Perry, the big man and Joey, the small, shifty halfback, are the closest. Manhood is forced upon them. In Perry’s case, his father is dead of a heart attack. Later, his mother, whom he is close to, dies of the same disease after being trapped in a housing project elevator. Joey, meanwhile, is the only son of a former Mr. New

York City turned city fireman. Emilio is disgusted by his scrawny son. He literally beats him into shape until one day when Joey fights back and cracks a wine bottle over his father’s head. After his mother’s death, the orphaned Perry decides to join the Seafarers. Joey tags along. Buddy and Eugene come to manhood the hard way. A romantic, Buddy gets involved with a loose teenager, Despinoza (or Despie), whom he impregnates and then dutifully marries. Eugene, on the other hand must live up to his father, a would-be lady’s man. Eugene has one conquest after another. However, a fight with Joey shatters his budding manhood. The battle-scarred Wanderer easily pummels the spoiled Eugene. In a dramatic scene, Eugene allows a girlfriend, Nina Becker, out into the Bronx night for a cigarette. Nina is apprehended

When the threesome visits their old haunts in the Bronx, Kenny breaks down. “All we’ve done since then was dying,” he maintains. In 1983, Price continued the boy-to-man theme with a thick novel, The Breaks. By the late 1980s, Price had started a new career as an accomplished screenwriter. I first read The Wanderers in 1976. Forty-three years later, I am still rooting for Buddy and Despie to make it. In 2009, Price came to the Sid Jacobson JCC for a talk. There, he said that he had run into a few of the real-life models for the Wanderers and they were living relatively normal lives. That was welcome news. What did you think of this article?

Mets southpaw reflects on first 100 MLB starts

BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

hen Steven Matz was an 8-year-old, he already knew who his Suffolk County baseball rival was: Marcus Stroman. The future MLB starters squared off in a little league battle, with Matz taking the mound. “I remember he was the big name in our league,” Matz, who is wrapping up his fifth year as a starting pitcher for the New York Mets, said. “We were playing in the 9-year-old division, and we had to play him. I was pitching against him and he hit a grand slam off me. He says he doesn’t remember, but I sure do. He was the big dog back then.” Stroman went to Patchogue-Medford High School, while Matz was the star of Ward Melville High School’s baseball squad. However, the dynamic duo played with the Paveco Storm travel team throughout their middle and high school years. Until early August, they had gone several years without playing on the same team. But that changed when the New York Mets made a deal with the Toronto Blue Jays to acquire Stroman, reuniting the Long Islanders at last. “To be reunited with him at this level of the game is not only cool, but it’s rare,” Matz said. The two battled each other in an unforgettable 2009 Suffolk League duel, with Matz striking out 12 batters in a one-hitter, while his future Mets teammate had 14 K’s in a three-hitter. Matz’s Ward Melville team won, 1-0. Now, Matz just made his 100th MLB start, with Stroman nearing No. 150. Though Matz and his wife Taylor no longer reside on Long Island during the offseason, the Stony Brook-born pitcher is always thinking of the impact he can make on New York. “I’m pretty happy with where I’m at,” Matz said. “I’m doing different stuff every day to make myself better. As far as doing stuff differently, I need to keep improving. My main goal is to get better every time I go out there.” Away from the field, Matz spends his time working on his charity, Tru 32, which he created in 2016. Inspired

by the Mets’ 2015 playoff run, winning the National League pennant race to play in the World Series, Matz knew it was time to give back. “My agent sat me down and we wanted to get some initiatives going, specifically, community outreach,” Matz explained. “I was talking to him and he saw my heart is with first responders. He said, ‘Let’s get this thing started.’” So as Matz began his first full MLB season, the Tru 32 program began. Thirty-two first responders head to Citi Field for a Mets game, and they have a chance to not only get an autograph from their local hero, but chat with him as well. “The biggest thing is just showing my excitement, appreciation and honor towards them and what they do,” he said. “They are the true heroes of our community. It’s very surreal that they would be excited to want to see me.” When deciding how he could give back to the community, Matz knew exactly what to do. He was just 10 years old when the terror attacks of 9/11 occurred. As Matz worked his way to the top level of baseball, he quickly grasped how important the sport is to New York’s bravest. “It was seeing what happened, seeing what those guys had to do, seeing what they sacrificed and what their families had to sacrifice as special people,” Matz said of the years after 9/11. This year, Matz had the honor of a lifetime. He was the man to step onto the mound on Sept. 11. Uniform No. 32 would be pitching in front of an emotional crowd. During the pregame ceremonies, Matz admittedly had some jitters, which is rare for someone in his fifth year of professional baseball. But this was a special evening, one he will never forget. “It was difficult as far as emotions while pitching,” Matz said. “I have to try to keep those things separate. It’s such a special day in New York. After that first inning, I definitely calmed down a bit.” And Matz certainly calmed down, pitching a gem against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The southpaw threw six shutout innings, including seven strikeouts, one of his best outings of the year.

Road To The Squad

Local prospect goes from pursuing teaching to practicing weekly with the New York Giants BY CHRISTOPHER BIRSNER cbirsner@antonmediagroup.com

ake Carlock remembers watching his older brother playing football back when he was just a preschooler. It was the moment that football permanently entered his life. “I got started playing it with all my best friends growing up,” said Carlock, a Babylon native. “We grew up in a football town, so we wanted to win the town a few games and we tried it out. The community is real tight.” Carlock graduated high school with slightly more than 100 kids in his class. It was such a tight knit community that it felt like the whole town would come to games. And who wouldn’t when your team has a couple of players bound for Division I colleges? “[The community] is real supportive,” said Carlock. “Every time I go home, I say hi to people and everyone

reaches out to me. The principal, the Carlock had a phenomenal 2018 school’s athletic director, all of those at LIU, racking up 67 total tackles, guys I’m close with.” 11 pass breakups and three fumble Carlock went on to play at Stony recoveries as the team’s premiere Brook at the Football Championship defensive back.

teams to join them. I wasn’t too positive, but I had a good feeling.” On the final day of the 2019 NFL Draft in April, during the seventh and final round, Carlock was surrounded by family when he got a call from the New York Giants. They offered him a roster spot. “That was a really cool moment for me and my family,” said Carlock. Just like the adjustments he has made his entire career, Carlock once again had to deal with the speed change at the professional level. However, he feels like he dealt with that well, even in a transition from defensive back to linebacker. “I thought it was more fun than anything,” said Carlock. “But it is hard work. Camp is no joke. You got to get in here and get ready to work. You have to bring it every day because someone is going to try to take your job. It has been a cool experience for

Girl Scouts: Skills Today, Success Tomorrow As Girl Scouts of Nassau County (GSNC) comes off its year-long centennial anniversary, it is encouraging girls from kindergarten to high school to join in on the history of the next hundred years. Girl Scouts offers programs to match almost any girl’s interests and help girls 5 to 17 years of age unleash their inner G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-Taker, Leader). Whether it’s camping, learning to code, exploring the outdoors, or building stronger friendships, girls discover all kinds of activities that stimulate their brains and strengthen their bodies, while also helping them discover who they are and what they are passionate about. “Girl Scouts has a longstanding history of being girl-led and girl-centric,” said Rande Bynum, chief executive officer of the Girl Scouts of Nassau County. “Our programs are always evolving but our mission remains the same. We are the only organization that provides programs tailored specifically to the developmental needs of girls. Through our programs, girls flourish in a supportive, encouraging environment. We will continue to build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place.”

Managing Mornings

Most of us require time to transition from a peaceful sleep to the demands of a busy day. The need for transition time combined with a child’s developmental level, and a parent on a time crunch, can make mornings the most stressful part of the day. These tips help tasks go smoothly; PREP BEDTIME If you are dragging your child out of bed, consider an earlier bedtime. Lack of sleep affects brain functioning, energy and focus and complicates all that needs to be accomplished. Bedtime should remain the same time every night, school night or not.

DESIGNATED SPACE Create a space that your child views often where all school-related objects are placed. This includes items like backpacks, books, lunch bags and permission slips. Purchase bins, hooks, and organizational tools assigned for each family member to keep a specific space, and require that a morning routine be followed.

CHARTS Charts can encourage independence. Younger children do not have a sense of time, so, let pictures represent tasks. Children as young as 3 or 4 can understand sequencing and creating picture charts can help keep them on task by providing visuals for the chores and the order to follow.

PARENTING MATTERS Graziella Simonetti

The night before, bathe, choose clothes, pack bags, and make lunch both for yourself and your child. The night before, complete all tasks that do not have to wait till the next morning. YOU TIME Wake up before your children. Enjoy a cup of coffee, a show, a long shower, or meditate to refuel. Children reflect your energy; your being calm will help to ground them. LIMIT TECHNOLOGY Watching television or playing video games should only be allowed after all chores are completed, for they can be distracting and activate parts of the brain that make a child less likely to comply.

PACING Create a playlist of music your children love and have it last the length of time their tasks should take. Then, you can say “by the time ___ song comes on, your backpack should be on you with your lunch bag in hand.” Let them know what time they have to be up from table and out of the house, and reference an easily accessible clock to stay on track. Provide warnings such as “the clock says 6:50. When it is 6:55, you need to be up from the table to catch the bus.” CONNECTION Connect with your child at the start of the morning in a slow and loving manner to help the transition into the day. Small moments, like holding hands down the stairs, making eye

contact and conversation in bed before getting up, or letting the child get dressed in your room, can improve the morning routine. For some children, morning time follows being alone all night, and the need to experience connection is strong; this can explain why children seem needy in the morning. Consider a gentle wake up. Wipe a cool and damp washcloth over the child’s face or whisper a loving morning greeting which can avoid a harsh and overstimulated wakeup. Young children do not understand why playing with their toys is not of equal importance as mom getting to work on time. Getting ready in a timely manner is your priority, not theirs. Your child may need your help to get through the routine.

Athlete Spotlight: Angelina Gatt BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

Division Avenue High School’s Angelina Gatt is one of the most determined athletes in Nassau County. No one is more excited to perform than Angelina Gatt. That’s because Gatt, a cheerleading captain, understands that each moment she can see is one that is truly amazing. “At night, I was blind,” Gatt said. “Everything was black. What I saw or could actually see was mostly black.” Gatt was born with Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA), a rare genetic eye disorder affecting only 3,000 people in the United States. In 2013, she participated in a clinical trial, which included gene therapy. She went from being legally blind

to low vision status, which has certainly changed her life. Just a year ago, Gatt spoke in front of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration advisory committee, advocating for them to approve the gene therapy that gave her a chance at seeing the world. “I could see the street lights, but I couldn’t see the poles, so it was black with some light,” Gatt said. “My visual acuity got a lot better. I went from legally blind to low vision because of it.” During the day, Gatt does need to wear sunglasses since her eyes are sensitive. But she’s so grateful to see that she doesn’t mind. She can go out at night now, something she couldn’t do before.

This year, Girl Scouts of Nassau County will offer 42 new badges that feature, for the first time in Girl Scouts’ history, two distinct activity options, letting girls choose how they want to earn each badge. Giving girls choices is important for developing their sense of self, their own voice and gender equality. The new badges focus on outdoor adventure, space science and cybersecurity, including teaching about encryption, password strength and cybercrime. Girl Scouts focuses its programs on the Girl Scout Leadership Experience—a collection of activities and experiences girls have as they complete journeys, earn badges, sell cookies, go on exciting trips, explore the outdoors and create Take Action Projects that make the world a better place. Along the way, girls also build their confidence, and are more likely to seek out and solve challenges on their own. Girls can join a troop based on geographic location and grade level. Girl Scouts are organized by troops that pass through six grade-specific levels: Daisies (kindergarten), Brownies (grades 1-3), Juniors (grades 4-5), Cadettes (grades 6-8), Seniors (grades 9-10) and Ambassadors (grades 11-12). If a troop is not available in your community, girls may still join GSNC by registering and taking advantage of Council-wide offerings and other opportunities. As the largest girl leadership organization in the United States, Girl Scout alums make up more than half of women leaders in business. Girl Scouts’ legacy is one of girls and women supporting one another and effecting change through civic engagement. At Girl Scouts she’ll discover who she is, what she’s passionate about and what she wants to achieve—both today and in the future.

HALL OF FAME

Joe Lapchick Character Award Winners

BY MARCO SCHADEN mschaden@antonmediagroup.com

he Joe Lapchick Character Award Foundation had its annual luncheon on Sept. 20 at the Yale Club in New York City. They presented three new honorees as the winners of this year’s Character Award; broadcaster Verne Lundquist, University of Connecticut Women’s Basketball Associate Head Coach Chris Dailey and former Georgia Tech Men’s Basketball Head Coach Bobby Cremins. Founded in 2008, the Character Award is given to those in the college basketball realm who demonstrate honorable character, like former St. John’s and New York Knicks Head Coach Joe Lapchick. Lapchick was the premier center of his time in the 1920s and 30s, playing for the Original Celtics in New York City. After his playing career, he coached St. John’s from 193647 and 1956-65, winning Coach of the Year twice and the NIT four times, then considered to be the national championship unlike in present day. Between his two stints at St. John’s came his eight consecutive winning seasons with the New York Knicks where he took them to the NBA Finals three straight years finished with a 326-247 record. He also signed Nathaniel “Sweetwater” Clifton to the Knicks, one of the first African-American players in the NBA. “[The players] all revered him, all respected him,” St. John’s alum Kevin Reed, who helped in putting a stature of Lapchick in front of Carnesecca Arena, said. “His reputation in New York, he was the dean of college coaches. Incredibly well-respected

Joe Lapchick was the premier center of his era before becoming head coach of St. John’s and the New York Knicks.

From left: Verne Lundquist, Chairmen Jim McTighe and Bill Raftery (Photos by Mary McTighe) and they all looked up to him.” Lundquist, a veteran broadcaster of golf, college basketball and football, was the first to receive his award. He was introduced by his friend and broadcast partner Bill Raftery. “Verne has accomplished so much,” Raftery said. “One of my favorite human beings, he has time for everybody. He shares his wit and knowledge. Extraordinary people, of which he is, have the ability to connect and get the gratitude for what he’s doing. He’s content, but is always ready for the call.” “I am so honored by this,” Lundquist said. “I almost don’t have the ability to express it. When I got the call from [Joe

Lapchick Character Award Foundation Chairman] Jim McTighe saying ‘the Lapchick Award would like to honor you with Bobby Cremins and Chris Daily.’ I knew what it stood for and what it represented.” UConn Women’s Basketball Associate Head Coach Chris Dailey has been with the school and Head Coach Geno Auriemma for 33 years. They have won 11 national championships together and Auriemma introduced Dailey for the award. “What this award is all about has nothing to do with recruiting, does not say anything about X’s and O’s,” Auriemma said. “The thing that everybody talks about when they meet Chris is the integrity she brings to everything that she does, the loyalty that she has for her friends, her family, her coworkers, her athletes that she is responsible for and the passion that she brings to her life. If Chris Dailey was not my assistant, none of what has happened at Connecticut would be even remotely possible. No one deserves this award more than Chris does.” “[The award is] a reflection of so many people that have been in your life, that have impacted you, to be honored with an award like the Joe Lapchick Award,” Dailey said. “It means a lot because of the people that were the past recipients, I recognize them and I know the excellence they stand for. Just to be in that group is an amazing accomplishment and award.” Bobby Cremins was known as one of the top recruiters in college basketball. This was evident by the quick turnarounds of his programs at Applachian St. and Georgia Tech; the season before he was hired, Georgia Tech went 4-23 and went winless in the ACC. He coached there for 19 years and retired in 2000 after winning the Naismith College Coach of the Year in 1990 and posting a 354-237 record at the school. “I want to thank the committee for this very prestigious award,” Cremins said. “Coach Lapchick was a true pioneer of our game, as a player and coach. He was the son of Czech immigrants, he had to go to work to help his family rather than go to college, but he kept playing basketball. It’s great that we continue to honor his legacy and I’m very proud to be a part of it.”

MATZ from page 3B “I was honored that I got to pitch for the Mets on that day,” he said. “It’s an honor and it’s really special.” While the hometown hero isn’t guaranteed to return with the orange and blue next year, Matz is determined to end the year on a high note. He was a key member of the Mets’ 2015 playoff run, but he’s eager to pitch in the postseason once again. “2015 was something I got thrown into,” he explained. “It was my first year with only six starts, then boom, I’m in the playoffs. To go through the full grind of the season and then make the playoffs would be really special.” As Matz looks to remain a vital piece of the future of the Mets, he believes 82-year-old pitching coach Phil Regan is one of his keys to further success. “He’s really familiar with me and my mechanics because I had him in the minor leagues,” Matz said. “The main thing is he’s working on little adjustments here and there. His positivity, because he’s been in the game for so long, goes a long way for us.” All that matters for Matz, though, is making a difference. “I have to go out and keep doing what I’m doing,” he said. “I need to execute one pitch at a time and that’s it. I want to better myself in all areas. I want to be a better pitcher and a better person every day.”

sure and I’m loving it.” Carlock was with the team throughout the summer and got a chance to play in all four Giants preseason games. He never played many snaps, but he did get two tackles and a sack. However, his favorite moment was when he got an interception return for a touchdown against the stadium rival New York Jets. “Once I got my shot in the preseason, it was pretty cool,” said Carlock. “I ended up playing pretty well. Ended up making a couple of plays. Once you step on the field, it’s still football. The crowd is a little bigger, but it’s still football at the end of the day.” Unfortunately, like most undrafted free agents, Carlock was released by the team after the preseason. However, he was told to hang back because they were looking to add him to the practice squad. The NFL is allowed to have 10 players outside of its 53-man roster that consist of players that would come to practice every day but would not participate in the games themselves. “Right now, I’m working on being a long snapper and trying to perfect that,” said

Carlock. “And really, I’m just doing what they want me to do, give them a good look for whoever they’re playing each week and doing what I can to help them win on Sunday.” Carlock does everything but suit up for games. And veteran players like long snapper Zak DeOssie have taken Carlock under their wing to get him ready in case the team needs him in game action this season. “I do think I can play at this level,” said Carlock. “I don’t think they would keep me around if they didn’t think so too. I’m doing my part and staying ready for the games. I’ll be excited when it happens if I do get pulled up. But for now, I’m just doing my part. That’s what they brought me here to do.” Carlock’s advice to anyone that is pursuing football out of a small school is to keep working at it because it doesn’t matter where you come from. “I’ve heard it time and time again that it’s almost impossible to go from Babylon to the NFL,” said Carlock. “I’m still here. If you work hard, it doesn’t matter if you come from LIU or Alabama. If you want something, you can go get it. And here I am lining up next to guys who played at Alabama.”

Athlete Spotlight: Stacy Eager BY CHRISTOPHER BIRSNER cbirsner@antonmediagroup.com

Stacy Eager, a junior, had a standout season last year with the Chiefs, being voted onto the AllCounty bowling team and leading her Massapequa High School team to their first ever Nassau County title. She also qualified for the individual tournament. “I love playing for this team because of the connection we have with everybody,” said Eager. “We have so much fun laughing and bowling at the same time. It’s so great. I’ve made so many friends on this team even beyond my own grade.” Even though she prefers putting distance between herself and her opponents, Eager enjoys the close matches she has played in during the season, regardless of how stressful. She also has played well under pressure. In the county tournament, she averaged over 150 points to capture the victory. The only downside to getting the team title in addition to getting into the individual tournament is that Eager would have to choose between competing individually or with her team. She decided to stay loyal to her teammates and go to Syracuse with them, especially

with how exhilarating it was to win as a unit. “When we won, I was the last one to bowl,” said Eager. “Looking up at the board for my 10th frame and seeing how we already won, I just didn’t care about the last one. I still tried my hardest but I knew at that point everyone was crying behind me. I didn’t want to look. I wanted to finish the game.” With a bright future ahead, she will look to improve as a bowler while also encouraging others to join her team. “If there is anyone that wants to bowl, come join,” said Eager.

Mikey Brannigan celebrates at the 2016 Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro.

BY MIKE ADAMS

(Photo courtesy of USOPC and OIS Photos)

madams@antonmediagroup.com

n a humid Saturday morning, Mikey Brannigan, a Paralympic gold medalist, and the first ever runner with autism to break the 4-minute mile barrier, ran in the opposite direction around the track at John Glenn High School in Elwood. The world-class athlete was alone, save for the presence of his coach Sonja Robinson, who shouted feedback as he navigated the loop in retrograde for miles on end. Brannigan is headed to Dubai in November to compete in the 1,500-meter race at the 2019 World Para Athletics Championships. If he wins, he’ll become the three-time defending world champion for the event, and qualify for the 2020 Paralympics in the process. If Tokyo goes well, he has a strong shot at making Paris in 2024. To succeed in those foreign environments, Brannigan must adapt to countless unfamiliar stimuli. Routine is a crutch for athletes and people with autism alike, so Robinson had him running backwards in the outermost lane on that track in Elwood to break any lingering reliance on familiarity. “This wasn’t a hard workout, but it was a hard workout mentally,” Robinson said. “You can really get dependent on looking at the clock, so really feeling that rhythm and staying relaxed is hard to do.” The humble high school setting was a far cry from the Olympian venue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where Brannigan secured the gold in the 1,500-meter race three years ago. Brannigan, long established as a titan in the T20 Paralympic field for athletes with intellectual disabilities, claimed the gold medal with a final time of 3:51.73, 5 seconds ahead of second place. He waited for his soundly-beaten competitors to finish, and made a point of shaking each of their hands. Brannigan is a sportsman at heart because his early life made him so intimately familiar with the sensation of being an outcast. When he was diagnosed with autism at just 18 months old, doctors told his parents they should focus on getting him onto a waiting list for a group home. Growing up in Northport, Brannigan got his first taste of running as a reward in elementary school. When he would finish a certain amount

Mikey The

Mighty of classwork or do well on a test, he could run a perimeter or two around the school under the supervision of a teacher. That view of getting to run as a reward rather than a burden has never left him, even as his former hobby turned into the dominant force of his every waking moment. “Running is freedom,” Brannigan said. “It helps you release stress and makes you feel better. You feel good about yourself and you believe in yourself. Running is a great sport, it’s a passion I love. I don’t let the stress get in my head.” Brannigan was denied eligibility to compete in the NCAA for failing to meet their academic requirements. But he clawed his way to a spot on Team USA. Despite everything, he just kept winning. Mikey is Mikey something of a Brannigan test case for his T20 counterparts around the world, the first truly world-class athlete to succeed with an intellectual disability. That status comes with its fair share of difficulties and rough patches, most of which are left to be borne by Robinson and the rest of the Brannigan family. Many of those rough patches are financial in nature. Without somebody around to guide Brannigan, he can’t go out on his own for competitions or training. The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) pays for his basic needs during competition, but they haven’t come around to paying for a guide. It’s why the best runner in his field practices at an empty high school track. That need for accompaniment has led Robinson to become more of a

family member than a coach, by her own admission and the admission of the rest of the clan. She now lives with the Brannigans full time in their East Northport home. “If an athlete in a wheelchair comes to a facility, they build a ramp,” Edie Brannigan, Mikey’s mother, said. “Sonja is Mikey’s ramp, but they won’t provide for Sonja. They won’t even let her down on the track when he’s competing.”

Brannigan’s greatest achievements, far from overcoming obstacles or athletic glory, are felt in the impact he has on people everywhere. “We got mail from the mom of this kid David in Wisconsin,” Edie said. “The kid’s obsessed with Mikey, so they started letting him run when they go on walks. Then, she went to the town and started a handicap running club. She did all this work, but it’s a direct result of Mikey.”

Kristina Garcia: A Closer Look BY MIKE ADAMS

Madams@antonmediagroup.com

Great Neck South High School soccer star Kristina Garcia is one of Long Island’s top girls varsity soccer players. Let’s take a closer look at one of Great Neck’s top athletes. Garcia has soccer in her blood. Her family hails from El Salvador, and her father Guillermo was a defender on the country’s national team for years. Garcia is a stalwart for Great Neck South, scoring 17 goals while playing as an attacking midfielder last season. Outside of school, Garcia’s abilities have netted her invitations to ply her skills at elite soccer academies across the country and in France, home to the defending World Cup champions. Despite being just a junior, Garcia has already committed to play for Stony Brook University’s two-time defending conference champion womens soccer team. Garcia’s high school coach, Gary Neville, praised his

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND Travel abroad

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Memory is a perfectly imperfect and slightly magical informational filing system in which the files have a way of multiplying, subtracting and rewriting themselves, condensing into something more vivid and beautiful or expanding into a fog of vagueness. You can’t trust memory, but you can revel in its mysteries. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). This is a lucky week to circulate your smile, preferably in person. An online persona is one thing, but real life is quite another. You have to spend actual face-to-face time with people to learn their quirks and tendencies, which will impact you in ways you can never understand with a virtual acquaintance. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). People want to be a part of whatever you’re doing, not because what you’re doing is particularly interesting but because you are. And as you find even more enjoyment in your task, you’ll continue to increase that special charisma that keeps your team robust. Next, you’ll need systems for managing more people. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Everyone has a basic need to be seen, heard and acknowledged. With other needs pretty much covered this week, the need to be recognized will be a primary driver for most of the actions taken. Just know that the others around you crave your respect and love. It’s the most valuable thing you can give. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don’t have to move to a different country to have a totally fresh experience of life. A small change is all it takes to set the transformation in motion. Rules: You have to initiate, and it has to be a completely new thing -- somewhere you’ve never been, someone you didn’t know, something you’ve never done. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re a realist. Sometimes fantastical things happen to change your mind, but it’s not that kind of week. If you just suspend your disbelief, go along for the ride and let yourself be a little gullible, if even only for a few hours or days, you’ll be inspired by awesome mystery. If you don’t believe in magic, how will you ever find it? LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What’s more exciting than a room full of people? Nothing. It’s the best game in town this week, especially if these are people you don’t know. Memories will be made among strangers. You’ll learn more about yourself than you learn about them. You’ll be surprised by what you end up saying, doing and feeling. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s important to name and describe your fear because you’ll then understand how to orient yourself this week. After all, this is the luckiest week to position yourself, get ready, get set and run like mad toward the fear, not stopping until you smash right into it, sending it hurling off to the side and out of the path. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Everyone answers to someone. Knowing who, that’s what gives you leverage. You may construct your power play with an eye up the chain of command, or down it. Don’t be surprised if the most powerful person in the equation is also the least powerful -- a baby, someone in the general public, a pet. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Each relationship has its own music. As it goes with creating music, one person changes tone, the other reacts in accordance or discordance and, for better or worse, the song is formed. This week, some combinations will be so catchy that you’ll keep coming back. It’s a hit! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re good at avoiding conflict when you need to, and many times confrontations wouldn’t be worthwhile anyway. But leaders will emerge out of the group this week, and if you don’t think they are leaders you want to follow, you’d be wise to stand and face the issues, some of which will be well worth fighting for. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Set superstition aside. Put funny feelings in a labeled container. Look objectively at what’s going on. Run the facts and opinions through the tribunal of reason. You can mix it all back up in the end, but right now this categorization, plus a little time, gives you the clear perspective needed to make a bold, bright decision.

Curran And Singas Announce Gun Buyback Move highlights county efforts to keep residents safe from gun violence

assau County Executive Laura Curran was joined by District Attorney Madeline Singas, Linda Beigel Schulman (mother of Parkland shooting victim Scott Beigel), advocates from Moms Demand Action and Long Islanders for Gun Safety, State Senator Jim Gaughran, Senator Anna Kaplan, Assemblywoman Taylor Darling, and Assemblywoman Judy Griffin, to raise awareness about the gun violence epidemic and highlight local efforts to keep residents safe. This is Nassau County’s second gun buyback of 2019. In March, Nassau County held a successful buyback event in Uniondale, where a total of 366 handguns, rifles and assault rifles were submitted. Since 2008, Nassau County has taken more than 4,500 guns off the streets through gun buybacks. “Nassau County has hit record crime lows thanks to the hard-working men and women in law-enforcement, and our commitment to community policing and building trust between law enforcement and our residents. But we will not be complacent when it comes to protecting our residents from gun violence,” said Curran. “We owe it to children in all our communities to fight for a future free from gun violence. Gun buybacks help keep guns out of the hands of those who should not have them. The more guns we get off the streets, the safer our communities will be.” “Gun violence has taken so many lives in our country and we owe it to every victim to advocate for common sense gun laws that will prevent this senseless loss of life,” Singas said. “New York continues to lead the way—with smart legislation, and low levels of gun violence. But we must continue to do more at every level, because even one gun death is one too many.” “I am proud to stand with Nassau County Executive Laura Curran as she announces another gun buyback for Nassau County,” said Schulman, mother of Scott Beigel, victim of the Parkland shooting and founder of the Scott J Beigel Memorial Fund. “This gun buyback will save lives by getting guns off the streets of Nassau County. This buyback program, along with the Red Flag Law signed earlier this year, will help reduce the number of suicides, enhance the safety of the citizens of Nassau County whether in schools, houses of worship, malls, movie theaters or any other public places. This gun buyback program will

help to reduce gun violence perpetrated by domestic abusers. County Executive Laura Curran should be commended for all of her continuous hard work to make Nassau County safer for all its residents. It goes without saying that Laura Curran believes, as I do, that “We the People” have the right to be safe from senseless and preventable gun violence.” Curran highlighted that on Oct. 20, there will be a Run 4 Beigel Long Island 5K Run/Walk, in honor of Scott’s 37th birthday for the Scott J Beigel Memorial Fund. The Scott J. Beigel Memorial Fund is a 501c3 nonprofit whose mission statement and purpose is to help send under privileged children touched by gun violence to summer camp. “While the federal government continues to refuse to take action on the gun violence epidemic plaguing our nation, New York State has taken the lead in enacting common sense gun safety laws to keep New Yorkers safe,” said Gaughran. “I applaud County Executive Curran and DA Singas’ leadership in taking proactive steps to keep public spaces and our community safe.” The gun buyback will be held at 24 Clinton C. Boone Place, Hempstead, between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. Rifles can be turned in for $100 cash, handguns for $200 cash, and assault rifles for $400 cash. Weapons must be operable, and guns must be unloaded and put in a plastic or paper bag or shoe box. Curran emphasized that although Nassau County has hit historic major crime lows thanks to its commitment community policing and building relationships with the community, the county will not be complacent in its efforts to protect residents from gun violence. As of the beginning of the 2018-19 school year, every single school building has received a security assessment from Nassau County PD to ensure administration, staff, and students are ready for any security emergency that may occur, including an active shooter situation. The RAVE app has been implemented successfully in all school districts. The Rave panic button instantly delivers data to 911 dispatchers and first responders, helping cut response time to security emergencies. Nassau County PD vehicles have been equipped with breaching devices to ensure officers can get to anybody who’s trapped behind a wall. Every single police car will now have these tools. County law enforcement have also

County Executive Laura Curran raises awareness about gun violence. worked closely with houses of worship to ensure maximized protection. Curran also shared disturbing statistics on the rise in firearm suicide, emphasizing that the multidimensionality of gun violence. Firearm suicide claims the lives of more than 22,000 Americans every year, including more than 1,000 children and teens. Nearly two-thirds of all gun deaths in the U.S. are suicides, resulting in an average of

61 deaths a day. Over the past decade, the U.S. firearm suicide rate has increased by 19 percent. This trend has been of particular concern for children and teens, whose firearm suicide rate has increased by 82 percent over the past 10 years; and for veterans, who have a firearm suicide rate 1.5 times higher than non-veteran adults. —Nassau County

DINING

Eating during the ‘Me Decade’ BY STEVE MOSCO

smoSco@antonmediagroup.com

he first time I ever heard the word “smörgåsbord” was on an episode of The Brady Bunch. I have no memory of which episode it was or what the context of its use was, but I clearly remember family patriarch Mike Brady saying “smörgåsbord,” probably to the Brady’s kitchen maiden, Alice. Food played a tremendous role in my youth—in case you couldn’t tell from reading these semi-regular articles. So it’s no surprise that a word like smörgåsbord would’ve piqued my interest. I guarantee I didn’t even know what the word meant, but I somehow knew it had something to do with food and I loved it. But then again, I also didn’t know at the time of watching Brady Bunch reruns in the 1980s that this was, in fact, a show that took place in the 1960s and ’70s. As far as I was concerned, this was a brand new show featuring at least two elements that made me weird on the inside: the word “smörgåsbord” and Mrs. Brady.

Pork Chops And Apple Sauce

I was there with Peter Brady when he uttered the phrase “pork chops and apple sauce” in a faux-Humphrey Bogart accent in a vain attempt to mask his puberty-altered voice. I was there when Marcia Brady’s braces ruined the spaghetti. And I was damn sure there when Bobby Brady entered the ice cream eating contest in a vain attempt to prove he could actually win something. The Brady Bunch might have only had a handful of quasifood-related moments during its original run from 1969-74, but when it did bring food into the mix, it did so in a way that weaved in its paper-thin plot for at least a vague lesson about the never-ending tragedy of youth. Like the time that Mike attempted to teach the girls a thing or two in the

Fondue parties were all the rage in the 1970s.

Alice (Ann B. Davis) and Mike Brady (Robert Reed) in the kitchen

kitchen, like how to use an electric cake mixer and he ended up making a mess of the kitchen and incurring Alice’s wrath in the process. That episode featured gems from Mike like “this thing [electric mixer] was invented for the sole reason of making life easier for women” and when tasked with cleaning his mess, “with the proper sense of male organization it shouldn’t take me more than...15 minutes.” The Brady Bunch had a hand in shaping the way I thought about food. Meanwhile, the actual food of the 1970s had a hand in shaping America, period.

The Decade Of Fondue And Molds

Speaking of shapes, cookbooks

and home cooks of the 1970s loved molds—anything that could be molded into a shape, they were all over it. Let’s start with the ghastly party foods of the 1970s. These dishes, meant for swanky dinner parties with men in leisure shirts shuffling around on shag carpet while drinking from a can of Schlitz or Ballantine beer, featured Jello- and mousse-molded abominations that would make Andrew Zimmern shiver. There was of course the Seafood Mousse, which was not only filled with gelatin-encased fish, but also shaped into a smiling, deadeyed creature of the deep. Or if your party was interested in the phytonutrient power of vegetables, but also wanted to be grossed out by jiggly texture, you would definitely prepare and serve a lovely Terrine of Garden Vegetables. Mmmmmmmm, slime

and vegetables? Is it my lucky day? But few party dishes could top the car accident of a dish, the Spaghetti-O Jello Mold topped with Vienna Sausages. Just imagine for a second the texture your mouth would enjoy while savoring this dish: the wiggly, tomato Jello squishes, but is interrupted by cold Spaghetti-O “noodles” that provide just enough give to remind you of how much you want to die. The Vienna Sausages sit atop, making you yearn for that wrinkled hot dog you dropped onto charcoal way back in July. Another food that gained prominence in 1970s America was fondue. While it’s not exactly a food, but more of a way to irrevocably scald your mouth with molten cheese, fondue became synonymous with chic, adult soirées where hosts encouraged guests to impale bread and meat with a tiny skewer before dunking it into a blend of cheeses, wine and seasoning. Fondue is just cheese on cheese on cheese, with an element of danger thanks to the personal pitchforks

Garden vegetable terrine that were doled out to drunken 1970s partygoers. Personally, there was always something unsavory about the thought of a bunch of adults in the 1970s getting together for a group activity. Did they also drop their car keys into a fishbowl? You know what, forget I asked. And finally, what would a party be without a main course fit for a king. Chicken à la King, tame dish in comparison to those previously mentioned in this article, gained popularity in the 1970s and even sneaked into the 1980s. Think of it as a deconstructed chicken pot pie, with chunks of chicken in a silky sherry-cream béchamel-type sauce containing mushrooms and green peppers, and sometimes peas. It’s served alongside toast points, puff pastry or rice, with egg noodles acting as an acceptable substitution. Is it a rather tame ending to your 1970s party? Maybe. But what you’re not tasting is the sheer volume of cursing being committed by Alice in Mike Brady’s direction.

any consider The Brady Bunch to be the quintessential ’70s television series centered on family, in this case a blended unit. The Me Decade also proved to be fertile ground for an assortment of familial situations.

The Partridge Family (1970 to 1974)

Shirley Jones played the widowed matriarch of this musical brood consisting of her five children that was loosely based on the real-life Cowsills. The show spawned eight Partridge Family

albums, 96 episodes and turned the late David Cassidy into a teen idol.

The Waltons (1971 to 1981)

Based on the Earl Hamner, Jr. book Spencer’s Mountain and the TV movie The Homecoming, this drama focused on the life of the title family living in the fictional rural mountain community of Jefferson County in Virginia during the Great Depression and World War II.

Eight Is Enough (1977 to 1981)

Syndicated newspaper columnist Thomas Braden, a real-life parent with eight children, wrote a book by the

same title that served as the model for this comedy-drama, featuring Dick Van Patten as the patriarch, who worked for the fictional Sacramento Register.

Family (1976 to 1980)

This straightforward depiction of middle class life featured Sada Thompson and James Broderick as Kate and Doug Lawrence, parents of Nancy (Meredith Baxter Birney), Willie (Gary Frank) and Letitia aka “Buddy” (Kristy McNichol) and was executive produced by Mike Nichols, Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg.

Good Times (1974 to 1979)

A spin-off (Maude) of a spin-off (All In the Family), this Norman Lear sitcom focused on the trials and tribulations of the Evans family as they navigated through inner-city Chicago while trying to escape the throes of poverty.

One Day At a Time (1975 to 1982)

This Norman Lear series focused on Indianapolis-based divorced mom Ann Romano (Bonnie Franklin) raising daughters Julie (Mackenzie Phillips) and Barbara (Valerie Bertinelli)

Happy Days (1974 to 1984)

With origins dating back to a segment of the 1972 anthology series Love, American Style, Happy Days was creator Garry Marshall’s nod to the ’50s and the Milwaukee-based family that included wistful portrayals of adolescence via Cunningham kids, Richie and Joanie, and their friends.

Soap (1977 to 1981)

This night-time parody of a daytime soap opera centered on the relationship between sisters/family matriarchs Jessica Tate (Katherine Helmond) and Mary Campbell (Cathryn Damon). Along with plots dealing with prison escapes, affairs and alien abductions, the show introduced the first primetime gay character, Billy Crystal’s Jodie Dallas.

An American Family (1971)

This groundbreaking documentary initially aired on PBS and was the first

reality show. Its subject was the upper middle-class Loud family. During shooting, parents Bill and Pat Loud separated and then divorced while son Lance came out and was recognized as the first continuing television character that was openly gay.

Little House On the Prairie (1974 to 1983)

Set on a farm in Walnut Grove, MN, during the 1870s and 1880s, this series was an adaptation of the Laura Ingalls Wilder book series of the same name. Illness, addiction, sibling rivalry and

Fashion Fads of the ’60s & ’70s

BY KIMBERLY DIJKSTRA

KdijKStra@antonmediagroup.com

very decade, certain styles emerge as the most fashionable of the day. The ’50s can be characterized by Bobby socks and poodle skirts; in the ’80s oversized blazers and big hair were in fashion. Several dominant styles define the era of the late ’60s and early ’70s, each simultaneously creating and reflecting a wave of change in the culture. Grab your miniskirt and love beads and take a retro walk down memory lane.

Hippie

Perhaps the most iconic look associated with the ’60s and ’70s is that of the hippies. The hippie lifestyle was characterized by rebellion against authority, rejection of wealth and opposition to war in favor of peace, drugs and free love. Clothing was bright and colorful, and mixing patterns was in vogue. Tie-dye clothing is closely associated with the counterculture, as were bellbottom jeans—the wider, the better. Psychedelic patterns became prevalent in the late ’60s. The Beatles’ Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band captured the beginning of what’s known as the ‘Summer of Love.’ Jimi Hendrix embraced the movement and created a distinctive image for himself which often featured outrageous prints, colorful scarves and vests, groovy jackets, frilly shirts and bellbottom pants, as well as military-inspired elements to display his anti-establishment and anti-war stance.

African-American men and women embraced the afro hairstyle, associated with the Black Is Beautiful cultural movement. The “flower children” of the era could often be seen in peasant blouses and long, flowing skirts, and were commonly decked out in peace symbols, headbands and long beaded necklaces, known as love beads. Both genders could be seen in suede fringed jackets and vests and other accessories inspired by Native American motifs. Hippies favored long hair and minimal footwear, including sandals, moccasins or foregoing footwear all together. See Easy Rider (1969), Woodstock (1970) and Hair (1979) for examples of flower children and free spirits.

Mod

The mod subculture began in London in the ’50s and spread throughout Great Britain and the United States in the ’60s. This era is closely associated with model and pop culture icon Twiggy, miniskirts and bold geometrical patterns on brightly colored clothes. Twiggy popularized the futuristic style of the white go-go minidress with knee-high boots and cropped pixie hair. Sex symbol Brigitte Bardot epitomized ’60s hair with soft messy waves, long parted bangs and a small bouffant. American women looked to Goldie Hawn and Judy Carne on Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In as style icons of mod fashion. Makeup emphasized the eyes with big lashes taking center stage, with youthful pale pink and white hued lipsticks to complete the look.

The British invasion had a lot to do with the mod look hitting the U.S. On men, the mod look could include slim-fitting suits with narrow pants and lapels, polo or Oxford button-down shirts, Madras plaid shirts or pants, well-pressed chinos, a cable knit sweater, Harrington jacket, a skinny knitted tie, penny loafer shoes and tortoiseshell sunglasses. Think Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones or Steve McQueen. A Hard Day’s Night (1964) was a seminal influence on mod style and Blowup (1966) is considered a mod masterpiece.

Disco

The disco craze that swept the country in the ’70s spawned a corresponding fashion craze. Men strutted around the dance floor in tight bellbottoms—very often white, as opposed to the blue jeans of previous decades—and muscle-hugging shirts with gold chains. White suits with plunging necklines and wide lapels were common. When not in bellbottoms with halter-neck tops, women most often wore slinky knee-length wrap dresses. Jumpsuits and platform boots were popular with both sexes, as were hot pants and top-to-bottom gold lamé. The hippest men and women wore busily patterned polyester or nylon Huck-A-Poo brand button-down shirts. Big, bold patterns epitomized the disco era, as did big,dangling earrings. Check out Saturday Night Fever (1977) and 54 (1998) for live-action examples of disco fashion.

BY JOE SCOTCHIE jScotcHie@antonmediagroup.com

hen the American Football League (AFL) took off in 1962, no one could imagine that by the end of the decade, the upstart league would not just be the equal of the mighty National Football League (NFL), but that its free-wheeling style would make it the most exciting of the two. The Super Bowl, inaugurated in 1967 after the merger of both leagues, was simply a showcase for the NFL to prove their superiority. Indeed, in the first two games, the Green Bay Packers, coached by the legendary Vince Lombardi, steamrolled two AFL teams, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Oakland Raiders. NFL supremacy looked to continue in 1969, when the Baltimore Colts were heavy 18 points over the New York Jets. Along the way, Joe Namath guaranteed a victory and that is exactly what happened. The Jets’ 16-7 win was a shocker. The next year, the Chiefs came back to dominate the Minnesota Vikings in the final game before the merger. Now it was the NFL teams that had some catching up to do How did it happen? How did the AFL go from being a rag-tag bunch of teams, many of which could barely pay their bills, to surpassing the league of

George Halas and Vince Lombardi? First, there was the popularity of professional football. America in the postwar years was becoming a television nation, and football, with its constant down field action, was meant for television. Second, with the GI Bill for World War II veterans, more men were enrolling in college and universities. College football would also take off. Finally, there was the thrilling 1958 NFL championship contest between the New York Giants and the Baltimore Colts. In 1959, oil magnate Lamar Hunt wanted his own pro team for Dallas, TX. The NFL balked and Hunt and his fellow millionaires formed their own league. The 1960 AFL originally had eight teams, including the long-lost New York Titans. More important was that it had a television contract, first with ABC and later, NBC. Plus, the league was colorful, placing a premium on offensive displays. Finally, the league nailed the game’s biggest star of the 1960s. Even in college at the University of Alabama, Joe Namath was a colorful figure. He made news by missing curfew for the 1964 Sugar Bowl game in New Orleans and being benched by Paul “Bear” Bryant. Namath came back in

his senior year to lead the Crimson Tide to an Orange Bowl appearance with the University of Texas. The Longhorns won that game and the national title, but Namath engineered a fourth-quarter drive that nearly won the game for Alabama. After his senior year, Namath was drafted by both the St. Louis Cardinals of the NFL and the New York Jets, now set to play in Shea Stadium. St. Louis or New York? It wasn’t even close. Namath was meant for New York, complete with a $400,000 contract, an East Side bachelor pad with llama rugs, Fu Manchu mustache and stories of blondes, brunettes and redheads. The AFL became an offensive bonanza for fans both at the games and watching on television. In addition to Namath, it featured stars such as Lance Alworth, Jon Hadl, Jack Kemp, Cookie Gilchrist, Elbert Dubenion, Abner Hayes, George Blanda, Don Maynard, Lionel Taylor, Charlie Hennigan, Keith Lincoln and Darryl Lamonica. On defense, the 300 pound. Ernie Ladd was a phenom as was Oakland Raider Ben Davidson. Namath and Davidson sported competing handlebar mustaches, while the Jets and Raiders had their own interleague rivalry. In a 1968 game,

the Jets held a lead over Oakland, while playing on the road. The clock for the nationally-televised game spun towards 8 p.m. when NBC was set to show a prime time Heidi movie. By 8 p.m., the game was still on. NBC producers cut to Heidi and dropped the game. The Raiders promptly scored two touchdowns to win a game now driven off the air. It was all part of the zany history of the AFL. The NFL-AFL merger happened because Hunt made sure his fellow owners were wealthy enough to win bidding wars such as the one that snagged Namath for New York. The league also used a narrower and longer ball, which made the pigskin easier for passing, hence the weekly offensive fireworks. Most of all, there was the question of signing players. The two leagues had a gentleman’s agreement: Once a player signed with a team, that was the end of the bidding. Owners in both leagues were not expected to sign players under contract. That was broken in 1966, when the New York Giants signed place kicker Pete Gogolak, who previously was under contract with the Buffalo Bills of the AFL. Bad move. AFL owners immediately went after such NFL stars as John Brodie, Mike Ditka and Roman Gabriel. The NFL sued for peace and the merger, which had been bantered around since the early 1960s, was agreed on by June 8, 1966.
