Curb Your Enthusiasm

Returns For Its 10th Season Larry David, Jeff Garlin highlight unfiltered series BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

nscripted. Unfiltered. Abnormal. A cranky, middle-aged man is back, and he’s taking over HBO in 2020 with his peculiar personality and obscene mannerisms. He’s going to kvetch and you’ll see Larry David’s receding pure white hairline, too. The former Seinfeld co-creator is aiming to be as realistic as possible, bringing real-life scenarios to your television. Cue Luciano Michelini’s “Frolic,” because Curb Your Enthusiasm is coming back and there is plenty of time for the catchy, instrumental song to get stuck in your head. But the Brooklyn native is ready to take his T-shirts and neurotic personality to the next level. As he says, season 10 of Curb Your Enthusiasm is “pretty, pretty, pretty good.” “The premise for this season is my favorite,” Jeff Garlin, the enthusiastic comedian who plays manager to the stars Jeff Greene on the show, told Long Island Weekly. “I think people everywhere will love it because it’s very universal. It experiences people have had at one time or another and Larry does it.” And David’s shenanigans are back, too. The newest season of Curb Your Enthusiasm took over HBO’s satellites after a more than two-year hiatus. This time around, David and his shenanigans find him in as many awkward situations as one can imagine, such as battling it out with “Mocha Joe” in the first episode of the new season. While Garlin wouldn’t give much away about what to expect in the highly-anticipated new season of Curb, there will be plenty of moments that pay tribute to the late Bob Einstein, who played the lovable Marty Funkhouser. The comedian tragically died on Jan. 2, 2019, after a short battle with cancer. “It was very emotional,” Garlin said,

briefly pausing to discuss the legacy of one of his closest friends. “He was with us everyday in terms of on our minds. We talked about it every day. It came very quickly. He missed the first half of the season because he had pneumonia. He was getting better and suddenly, he was diagnosed with cancer and he was dead weeks later. I adored him. He was one of my dearest friends.” Despite the tragic loss, Curb Your Enthusiasm makes its return as the most unique show on television. David prides himself on the authenticity of the show, which attempts to reenact the enthusiasm—and lack thereof—of everyday people. The cast is essentially unabashedly unfiltered throughout each and every episode, offending just about everyone they meet along the way. “When I check out shows, I’ll watch them and I’ll be like, ‘Oh boy. What

just happened is so false,’” Garlin said. “People didn’t react the way people react. At its best, Curb feels like you’re watching a documentary. Larry and I are proud of the fact that when someone does something funny, the other characters laugh on camera. “That doesn’t happen. You watch a show, someone does something that’s meant to be funny and is incredibly funny, but the other actor just starts saying their line. We’re very present and honest. If you want to go one step deeper and get to the core, it’s because Larry David writes the outlines. There’s no one else like him.” Garlin and David, who play best friends on the show, are the same in reality. The dynamic duo met each other several decades ago as comedians in New York City. As both of them blossomed into comedic legends, with David running Seinfeld and Garlin playing key roles in dozens

FEATURE CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM from page 3A “When we first started auditioning people and Larry and I would be acting with them, it felt like Larry and I knew each other for 40 years at that point,” Garlin said. “That was at the very beginning. It was a gift and it’s quite beautiful.” And that beautiful gift, paired with David’s awkward life encounters, created the most unique show on television. Curb Your Enthusiasm debuted in 2000, airing eight seasons through 2011. But season 9 didn’t appear until 2017, and it did not disappoint. David curses, shoves, yells at and bickers with everyone from a bus driver to his receptionist, ex-wife Cheryl David (Cheryl Hines), Green’s wife Susie (Susie Essman) and many others. Oh, and there was a fight with Lin-Manuel Miranda, too. So the return of Curb simply means that there will be plenty of new, unforgettable moments. In the trailer for season 10, David is seen reciting the famed Gettysburg Address, making fun of Susie’s hat, calling her Abraham Lincoln. “Flowers, balloons, Larry David,”

be at odds with the mailman, as well as Greene, Leon Black (JB Smoove), Richard Lewis, Ted Danson and more, including guest appearances from a handful of Hollywood’s most popular figures. The show, almost 20 years after its debut, remains incredibly Jewish in nature, with David continuing to showcase pride in his religion. The Jewish background for most of Curb’s characters makes it incredibly relatable, especially for New Yorkers, like David himself. “I’m working with Larry David and I’m improvising,” Garlin said. “Those are two things I can’t lose.” Throughout all of David’s wild experiences, both on and off the camera, he remains authentic and true to himself.

“He’s one of my closest friends in life,” Garlin said of his relationship with David. “What I’ve learned from him more than anything is to be true of what I do. I’m fearless when it comes to being fired at anything I do. I love talking to people, collaborating and I’m not difficult. However, I got to do what I’ve got to do, and that’s what I learned from Larry.” While one can anticipate the return of TV’s most casual series, no one knows what will happen. Curb Your Enthusiasm is unscripted, with the actors only given an outline about what can happen. The second episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm’s new season will premiere on Sunday, Jan. 26, at 10:30 p.m. ET on HBO.

Television’s Greatest Curb-Ball

Meet the cast of the most unconventional show in history

Jeff Greene

(Played by Jeff Garlin)

hen former Seinfeld co-creator and producer Larry David departed from the “show about nothing,” no one knew what his next project would be. But in late 1999, he teamed up with HBO to create an unconventional, one-hour special called Larry David: Curb Your Enthusiasm. Soon thereafter, Curb Your Enthusiasm debuted as a series in October of 2000, giving HBO a critically-acclaimed comedy series that is incredibly similar to Seinfeld. Let’s meet the stars of Curb Your Enthusiasm, who, as Jeff Garlin says, are all about their respective egos.

Agent to the stars, Jeff Greene, is exactly what you think a person in his shoes would be. He’s charismatic and funny, yet cynical at the same time. Garlin insists he’s nothing like the Jeff he plays on Curb. Besides being Larry’s best friend, he also has to deal with his wife Susie and daughter Sammi, each playing into his own character plot, featuring dozens of self-inflicted wounds. His bickering with Susie makes audiences across the country burst into laughter.

Larry David

Susie Greene

Good ‘ol “Larr” is at it again. The neurotic David is getting involved in plenty of shenanigans, season-in and season-out. He is literally the most unpredictable character on television, especially since it’s pure, unscripted Larry David. While the real-life David is probably a bit different, the TV version is rather realistic and oftentimes considered the modern-day George Costanza. On Curb, he attempts to live a nonchalant life, but that just about never happens. His interactions with celebrities, like Wanda Sykes or Jimmy Kimmel, show that he hasn’t changed much as a semi-retired Hollywood face. Throughout the series, he shows off his Jewish pride, making historical, and oftentimes

Susie is the quintessential Jewish mother who loves to yell at the top of her lungs. More often than not, she’s seen yelling at Jeff and Larry, calling Larry just about every name in the book and likewise to her husband. Her mouth is incredibly filthy. She can figure out Larry and Jeff’s schemes before they even tell her about it, responding to their stupidity with plenty of sarcasm. She wears the pants in this show.

Cheryl David

(Played by Cheryl Hines) Somehow or another, Larry’s marriage with Cheryl lasted for several years. Day-in and day-out, she stuck by his side, even defending his neurotic self at times. But by the start of season 8, she’s had enough of her awkward marriage and leaves him. Eventually, she ends up with the one, the only, Ted Danson. But Cheryl was the only one who actually told Larry when he was being ridiculous. When Larry begins working on a recreation of Seinfeld during season 7, just before their divorce, he attempts to win Cheryl back by convincing Jerry Seinfeld to cast her as George’s exwife. The whole shtick of the Seinfeld reunion was just for Larry to win back the love of his life. That doesn’t work at first, but Larry eventually gets his

More often than not, Richard Lewis is the “Debbie Downer” of Curb. Whether it’s his latest awful, depressing relationship or something else bad happens to him, Lewis takes more loss’ than one can imagine. When Larry tries to lend him a hand, it usually ends with a shouting match between the two. Sometimes, it’s hard to tell if he’s just acting like his normal self.

way. When Cheryl finds out that’s why he did it, she falls in love with him for a bit. But within a few mere episodes, their divorce is finalized and she appears in a handful of episodes after they split.

Season 6 of Curb was a gift to fans thanks to the addition of Leon Black, the brother of Loretta Black, who Larry and Cheryl brought in after Hurricane Edna. Leon heads into the Davids’ home, even though he already lives in the area. When Larry offends Loretta to the point that she moves out, Leon refuses to go, casually making himself at home. “I got yo back, Larry” is often uttered out of his mouth. Oh, and he utters curses just as much as Susie. After Larry gets divorced, his popular role gets upgraded to become part of the main cast, and he’s just a lovable guy.

eff Garlin is one of the most recognizable faces on the big screen. From Mad About You to Daddy Day Care, Curb Your Enthusiasm and now, The Goldbergs, the Chicago native rapidly worked his way through the comedic rankings to fill plenty of homes with laughter. “At all times when I’m on the set, I realize how blessed I am,” Garlin said. “I can’t believe how wonderful it is.” Garlin, who does everything from acting to voiceover work, script-writing and producing, has plenty to be happy about at this stage in his life. The Goldbergs, currently on air on ABC each Wednesday night, might be one of his most popular roles yet. Garlin plays Murray Goldberg in the ’80s, a man with a hot temper and a commanding voice. It’s an average, Jewish family, set in Jenkintown, PA. Often, Garlin plays roles that are

realistic, and that fits perfectly in The Goldbergs. He’s a realistic father, who thinks his wife, Beverly (Wendi McLendon-Covey) smothers their children too much. Of course, he has to call them “morons,” because, what else would he shout at them? While Garlin was filming the latest season, he had multiple projects on his plate. Curb Your Enthusiasm returned to the air for its 10th season, and that meant playing two completely different characters at the same time. “It’s not a matter of the character, but it’s a matter of the format,” he said. “The Goldbergs is tightly scripted and I have to stick with it. I’m also in the ’80s. In Curb, it’s an outline and I improvise.” Papa Goldberg is in charge of his father-in-law’s furniture shop. But most of all, he loves to sit in front of his TV, pantless, sporting his white briefs. And if that’s not enough to fill up his slate, Garlin’s Netflix special, Jeff Garlin: Our Man In Chicago, debuted

Jeff Garlin (second from left) also stars in ABC’s The Goldbergs as Murray Goldberg (Photo by Andrew Eccles/ABC) in November. He returns to his Chicago roots, performing at Park West in the heart of the Windy City. Throughout the 58-minute special, the bearded Garlin shares unbelievable stories about his 37-year comedic career. Though dozens of comedians have a Netflix special of their own, Garlin feels his stands out. “I’m truly me, so that separates the special,” Garlin said. “There’s lots of improvisation that came up in the moment. In my wildest imagination, my special couldn’t have worked out more perfect. I’m just so proud of it and it’s so important to me.” But there’s something rejuvenating about the lovable comedian, and that’s his passion for photography. “Big Bowl of Wonderful,” Garlin’s brand-new photography exhibit, just launched at the Leica Gallery in West Hollywood, CA. The exhibit features images that Garlin has captured throughout scenes of some of his biggest shows and films, creating a unique behind-the-scenes look at life in Hollywood. Part of the proceeds from the exhibit will go to F*ck Cancer, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit “dedicated to

prevention, early detection and providing emotional support and guidance to those affected by cancer.” “My photo show—I’m a photographer—launched last Thursday in Los Angeles,” Garlin, who serves on the charity’s board of directors, said. “Part of the proceeds are going to F*ck Cancer, which is the only term you can say about cancer. I host every year the Plastic Pollution Coalition dinner. I love helping out the community and it’s really important to me.” Through the rest of the year, Garlin will be just as busy, too. “I’m going to be writing a lot of different things, like movies and TV shows for myself. I really am focused on the next year of promoting my special. I’m so proud of my special. I’m going to keep on keeping on.” All of this couldn’t have happened if it weren’t for his parents, who took him to see Jimmy Durante when he was just 8 years old. “I was always the funniest kid in school,” he proudly said. “He inspired me. I asked my parents if that’s a job. They said yes and I said, ‘That’s a job I want.’”

WE REMEMBER

International Holocaust Remembrance Day 2020 BY JOE SCOTCHIE

jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

he words “Arbeit macht frei,” which means “work sets you free,” still sit above the entrance of the Auschwitz death camp in Poland, 75 years after the Nazis were defeated. International Holocaust Remembrance Day came into being in 2005 as a result of a United Nations General Assembly resolution. The action was taken that year since it marked the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps and the end of the Holocaust. The date is significant as Jan. 27, 1945 marked the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and death camp by the Soviet Union’s Red Army. This year represents the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the notorious Auschwitz death camp, where more than 1 million people were brutally murdered, either by endless medical experiments, through a gas chamber or starved. Needless to say, there will be numerous events commemorating that day on Long Island. On Jan. 27, the Museum of Jewish Heritage, located at 36 Battery Pl. in New York City, will hold a 9 a.m. event in which Holocaust survivors and other members of the community will gather to watch a live simulcast of the commemoration ceremony broadcast from Auschwitz, Poland. Later, at 3 p.m., the museum’s chief curator and acclaimed Holocaust scholar Robert Jan van Pelt will explore the significance of the types and provenance of artifacts in Auschwitz. His talk will include a discussion of the curatorial decisions that had to be made during the development of this exhibition. Also in Manhattan, a sold out concert commemorating the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz will take place at 7 p.m. at Temple Emanu-El, 1 E. 65th St. This event is significant not only for the occasion, but also for the fact that Temple Emanu-El of New York is the first reform Jewish congregation in New York City, founded in 1845. Since then, it has served as a flagship congregation in the reform branch of Judaism.

Guard posts and electric fences remain untouched at Auschwitz 75 years after the camp was liberated. When the Allied armies liberated camps, they gave starving prisoners chocolate, which actually poisoned them because they were so malnourished.

The Nazis attempted to bomb the gas chambers at Auschwitz (left) before deserting the prisoners at the end of the war. This is what remains. The train tracks at Auschwitz (right) also remain.

The brick ovens in Auschwitz were utilized by the Nazis in each of their death camps, burning thousands of remains each day. (Photos by Joseph Wolkin)

Preceding that event, the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County, on Jan. 26, will hold a screening of Jan Karski And The Lords Of Humanity at 1 p.m. This film is about the Polish resistance fighter Jan Karski. It will be followed by commentary from the film’s award-winning director, Slawomir Grünberg. The center is located at 100 Crescent Beach Rd., Glen Cove. Call 516-671-8040 to RSVP a spot, with a $10 suggested donation. The day comes even as the New York City area has suffered a spate of anti-Semitic incidents, including an attack on Dec. 10, 2019 on a Jersey City kosher grocery, which left four people, including a police officer, dead. The two suspects were also killed in a confrontation with Jersey City police. On Saturday, Dec. 30, a rabbi’s home in Monsey, NY, was attacked, leaving five people wounded, including Josef Neumann, who has been in a coma since the incident and might not ever awaken. New Yorkers have responded by holding several large rallies, attended by state and local politicians to protest such violence and to rally New Yorkers to the banner of tolerance. An estimated 25,000 people marched across the Brooklyn Bridge and held a rally in Manhattan on Jan. 5 to express solidarity with the victims of the recent crime spree. Also in conjunction with the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the U.S. Congress is debating a Holocaust Education Assistance Program fund for the Department of Education to award grants to eligible entities to “carry out Holocaust education programs, and conduct periodic regional workshops to provide teachers with technical assistance on how to incorporate Holocaust education within state and local education standards.” The bill, H.R. 5460, was introduced in the House of Representatives by Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D—NY) and Elise Stefanik (R—NY) and currently has 204 co-sponsors. Last summer, Senators Marco Rubio (R—FLA), Jacky Rosen (D—NV) and Kevin Cramer (R—D) introduced a similar bill in the United States Senate.

COLUMN Seventy-Five Years Later: The Forgotten Death Camp

magine a society where children are burned alive. In this society, gas chambers, slave labor and death by starvation is the norm. Your name will be replaced with a number tattooed on your arm and your home will be replaced by a concentration camp. This was life for a Jew under Nazi rule during World War II. It did not matter if you were religious or secular, wealthy or poor, the Nazis treated all Jews equally. Led by Adolf Hitler, the Nazis attempted to implement the Final Solution and systematically exterminate the Jewish people from this earth. During the Holocaust, more than six million Jews were murdered in less than a decade, an amount larger than the population of present-day Denmark. Living in Romania, my grandparents were caught by the tentacles of the ruthless Nazi regime and were shipped in cattle cars to Transnistria, the “forgotten death camp,” in Romania. In Transnistria, the Nazis essentially planned to work each prisoner as a malnourished slave until they died. As the world watched

PURSUING THE TRUTH David Billet

In many concentration and death camps, the Nazis used bulldozers to dig mass graves for the ashes of those killed. (Photo by Joseph Wolkin)

in silence, while millions of Jews were murdered, my grandparents found a sliver of light in a world of darkness: they met each other. My grandfather once told a story, which emphasized the pain he experienced and the horrors he witnessed in Transnistria. Inmates were forced to work at all hours of the day, in freezing temperatures below zero degrees with almost no food or clothing. While working, my grandfather witnessed other prisoners standing upright one moment, suddenly falling down as a frozen corpse mere moments later. This was life for a Jew in Transnistria, a world where a slow and painful death was the only guarantee.

The Nazis not only stole six million Jewish lives and millions of others, but they stole the ability to properly mourn for the dead. For years after WWII, my grandmother went to sleep at night, wondering if her brother survived the Holocaust and checking the mail each day, hoping to find a letter from him. Confirmation of his death came 40 years after WWII by someone who witnessed him drown in Russia. Millions of Jewish children could not become orphans because their parents merely disappeared. Proper mourning was impossible since death was many times unknown. Today, 75 years after the greatest human rights violation in history, the Nazis may have been defeated but

anti-Semitism continues to live on. Just last month, murderers attacked a kosher grocery store in New Jersey, leaving five dead. More recently, a synagogue was vandalized in California, targeted solely for being a Jewish place of worship. After the Holocaust, the world asked how such an atrocity could occur. Today, the world condemns Israel, the only Jewish state, for defending itself when a terrorist organization attacks Israeli citizens. These terrorist organizations are attempting to fulfill the Nazis one true goal: the elimination of the Jewish people. David Billet is a Nassau County resident and is a student at Fordham University School of Law.

SCOUT NEWS

Girl Scouts Launch New Cookie For 2020 G

irl Scouts of Nassau County and Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) recently launched the 2020 Girl Scout cookie season, when Girl Scouts across the United States become entrepreneurs as they earn money to power their own leadership opportunities and adventures. This season, GSUSA announces two sweet new ways to celebrate young female leaders: refreshed packaging reflects the amazing experiences cookie earnings make possible for girls and a new lemon cookie available on Long Island. The Girl Scout Cookie program teaches girls about entrepreneurship as they have fun learning essential skills like money management, public speaking, and decision making, which set them up for a lifetime of success. Nine in 10 Girl Scouts say the cookie program has built their entrepreneurship skills and their interest in pursuing entrepreneurship as a career path—so every cookie purchase is an investment in the world-changing business leaders of tomorrow. What’s more, each and every purchase stays local to power amazing experiences and leadership opportunities for girls in communities across the United States. GSUSA’s refreshed cookie packaging (with the same great taste) continues to emphasize what the cookie program is all about, and the updated images feature current Girl Scouts taking part in a diverse range of experiences available to

members—from adventure-packed camping and canoeing, to exploring space science and designing robots, to taking action to improve their communities. Every purchase of Girl Scout Cookies makes experiences like these possible for girls in the local community. The new Girl Scout Cookie is Lemon-Ups, a crispy lemon cookie baked with messages inspired by Girl Scout entrepreneurs. “I am a go-getter” and “I am an innovator” are among the eight phrases that bring the experience of Girl Scouting to life. The new cookie joins the national 2020 lineup, which also includes favorites, such as Thin Mints, Samoas and Trefoils. Lemon-Ups are available in select council markets. “Girl Scouts of Nassau County is excited to kick-off the cookie season by celebrating the brandnew Lemon-Ups Cookie,” Rande Bynum, CEO of Girl Scouts of Nassau County, said. “Not only are

these cookies delicious treats with inspiring messages to lift your spirits, but each box purchased will help support our local Girl Scouts.” “Everyone loves Girl Scout Cookies—but the program is about so much more than cookies,” GSUSA CEO Sylvia Acevedo said. “Girls learn about entrepreneurship as they run their own cookie businesses. The important business and financial literacy skills girls learn through the program are proven to build their leadership skills and position them for success in the future. When you purchase cookies you are helping girls power their Girl Scout experience and you’re supporting female entrepreneurs.” To find Girl Scouts selling cookies near you, visit www. girlscoutcookies.org or use the official Girl Scout Cookie Finder app, free on smart phone devices. —Submitted by the Girl Scouts of Nassau County

COLUMN Should College Athletes Get Paid?

alifornia is known to be much different than all of the other 49 states. It has so many laws that clash with the rest of the country that it is too hard to pick out any one, but there may be an exception. For some unexplained reason, California legislators have decided that college athletes should get paid for their services, irrespective of the size of the school. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), an archaic group if there ever was one, has decided that there should be some type of compensation formula. A pair of state legislators have decided they have a new way to pay college athletes by imposing a 15 percent tax on all college teams with half going to the athletes and the balance going to an injury fund. The idea of a general tax might be a good idea if all colleges were created equal. New York State has 131 private colleges and only 20 percent of them have sports at the highest level, which is known as Division I. Of the 500,000 student-athletes New York State, only 2 percent go on to become professional athletes. Paying everyone some compensation makes little sense for a lot of reasons. Presently, NCAA rules prohibit compensation for athletes in college competition. So a New York law that means the players must be compensated from a wage fund would lead to the disqualification of all the teams. The next issue is that a wage fund would turn every athlete’s relationship into an employer-employee situation. The next most logical step would be the formation of a college player union. How about a union strike on the opening day of the season?

Investing in clean, sustainable energy. One of the many ways we’re using smart technology to plan for our island’s future.

INSIDE POLITICS Jerry Kremer

Under the bill proposed by New York State Senator Kevin Parker and Assemblywoman Michaelle Solages, the other half of the athletic tax would go to an injury fund. That would make sense if the students didn’t have any insurance. Currently, the NCAA requires student-athletes to have health insurance that will cover the first $90,000 in medical costs in the case there is a sport-related injury. Any injury costing more than $90,000 is covered by the NCAA’s catastrophic injury plan. There is no doubt that any college athlete who is having a successful career should be compensated for the use of their image or even any endorsement that they make of some product or event. That would reward a small number of athletes, and if they truly excel on the field, the rules should be changed. Having been a state legislator, I introduced many bills for study and comment. For now, that is what this legislation needs and nothing more. As best as I can remember, being a college athlete was a lot of fun. Somehow, getting paid for a sport that you enjoy sends the wrong message.

CHARITY CORNER

American Brain Society Works To End Stigma BY COURTNEY SHAPIRO editorial@antonmediagroup.com

he American Brain Society (ABS) was founded by J.A. Boulton to educate the public about the stigma and effects associated with brain disease. Their headquarters is in Danbury, CT, and they received their nonprofit organization status in 2018 by specifically funding research and raising awareness. “In speaking with doctors, Boulton realized scientists knew very little about how to treat the more than 150 brain diseases and disorders,” nonprofit consultant Jo-Ann Hertzman said. “Brain diseases and disorders include everything from memory disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease to autism, addictions and mental health disorders, such as bipolar disorder, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and more. Much like the American Cancer Society put all the cancers under one roof, ABS is putting all the brain diseases and disorders under one roof.”

From left: Jay Maty, an American Brain Society board member, and Dr. Angela Guarda, associate professor of psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. (Photo courtesy of the American Brain Society)

Boulton’s family has personally experienced suffering from brain disease and he is determined to end the suffering for others.

“The time for ABS is now,” Hertzman said. “Much like the American Cancer Society was needed, ABS is needed for the brain. Whether directly or indirectly, these brain diseases affect every American family.” ABS funds scientists and gathers the latest research to further the learning and understanding of brain diseases. The nonprofit helps families affected by these diseases to help gain the tools necessary to combat the stigmas. Members involved in the community develop a new network of support, as well as obtain the information they need to keep moving forward. Depression, addictions, eating disorders, brain injuries, strokes and PTSD are just some examples of the diseases researched through ABS. They partner with doctors and professionals from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, NYU Langone Health and Yale University School of Medicine to get the best results and

information possible. In the short time they’ve existed, ABS has raised about $51,000 to date, assembled 37 brain disorder and mental health resources, as well as developed 55 educational articles and videos for caregivers. “Since creating our website, we have increased our social media presence and are engaging with more than 30,000 people,” Hertzman said. “Many of them are either directly affected by brain disease and mental health disorders or they are caregivers or are indirectly affected.” In 2020, ABS hopes to build a live community where those affected can support one another. They also work to increase the number of scientists and research projects to further the study of brain diseases and disorders.

Scientifically One Of A Kind Chaminade High School’s science center breaks barriers BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

n May 2018, Chaminade High School opened its new 34,000-square-foot Science, Technology and Research Center, which was named in recognition of a gift from the Dolan Family Foundation. Since its opening, the high school’s science center has been breaking barriers with its top-notch technology and teaching methods, proving that it is the only space of its kind for high school students in the tristate area. The concept for the science center began 2014, spurred by an ongoing national discussion about the importance of STEM education and feedback from past students. “We have a very connected alumni association that stays connected with us,” said Brother Thomas Cleary, president of Chaminade High School. “I’ve been hearing over the years how prepared students were for college, yet they wished they were better prepared for math and science. I always want to be proactive instead of being reactive with what’s going on in the world. We knew that this was the direction the school really needed to grow in to best serve our students.” All of Chaminade’s students take classes in the new science center, which includes seven new teaching labs where students study biology, chemistry, physics, geosciences, fabrication and robotics.

Students also have access to the latest technology for hands-on analysis and research, including Anatomage digital anatomy tables, computerized lab probes, a Foucault pendulum, a meteorological observatory dome and a hydrodynamics simulator. Funding for the new building was generated by the support of Chaminade parents, alumni, alumni parents and friends as a result of an impressive $23 million capital campaign. The high school also hosted a campaign called #55for500 during the lead up to the opening of the center. According to Brother Benjamin Knapp, the chairman of the science department at Chaminade, every student uses the equipment that is inside the

science center—the kind of equipment students would only encounter at college. “These tools [at the science center] can electronically transmit data from experiments to students’ iPads, allowing them to collect more information and do more with it,” explained Knapp. “During lab time, our men won’t just be learning science, they’ll be doing science.” The science center’s rooftop is also designed to accommodate both scientific instruction and environmental stewardship. The rooftop features a meteorological observation deck allowing students to study atmosphere, weather and sunlight. A digital programmable telescope for instruction in astronomy resides in the center’s observatory dome. Also on the science center’s rooftop is a low density soil mixture that hosts a mass variety of different types of flowers and plants. The soil manages run off while the flowers shade the building from direct sunlight during the day and insulate the building during the night, eliminating the school’s cooling and heating costs. The Science, Technology and Research Center complements Chaminade’s liberal-arts curriculum, which expanded in recent years to include more modern technology. In 2014, Chaminade opened a 16-terminal Bloomberg Business Center for third and fourth year students to research market analytics, finance, and economics. Since 2016, each student has been issued an iPad for classwork with their tablets linked to an AppleTV in every classroom for group projects and presentations.

Social And Emotional Learning

Renewed interest in SEL validates the advantages of parochial school BY GARY E. LAYTON

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

“Everything old is new again.” When Peter Allen wrote this song in 1974 he certainly had an idea about the cyclical nature of life, but I wonder if he imagined that traditional values, in our case, traditional educational values would be “in again.” After years of experimenting with the latest educational fads, schools across the nation are recognizing that investing in the social and emotional management skills of students will have a greater effect on the trajectory of their lives than augmented reality or more flexible seating. Catholic schools across the Diocese of Rockville Centre have maintained their focus on the “character education” of students, even as more permissive educational models were being implemented elsewhere. While current day Catholic school has embraced the integration of new educational technologies, personalized learning and new curriculum elements, the commitment to traditional values and religious tradition have never wavered. Catholic school has continued to teach biblical principles and traditional values, focusing imparting spirituality and self-discipline. That steadfast commitment has been based on an understanding that success and happiness in life is based in large part on

attitude; attitudes that can be shaped by the school. Today, the heightened interest in Social Emotional Learning (SEL), makes it clear that Catholic schools were on the right track all along. So what is Social Emotional Learning and why does it matter? Social Emotional Learning is viewed as attentiveness to the whole child’s needs: social, emotional and academic. It is comprised of five major components: self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision-making, relationship skills and social awareness.

As everyone who has attended Catholic school can attest, these five principles are traditional parts of a Catholic education. In fact, these characteristics are often the most easily distinguishable differences in the way a young man or woman “carries themselves” in their daily interactions with others. They are the characteristics that we subconsciously recognize and silently attribute to the student being “a Catholic school kid.” While the focus on SEL validates the approach that Long Island’s Catholic schools have been built on, we too strive to continuously improve. Improvement involves building a safer and more collaborative classroom environment where children can sort out their feelings, put aside their troubles and respect and appreciate their classmates. It is a formula that has endured for generations and made a Catholic education an advantage that lasts a lifetime. Parents who choose Catholic Elementary School can be assured that the social and emotional components of a child’s education are at least as important as the academic side. They are the “Catholic school difference.” Gary E. Layton is the director of marketing and enrollment for the Diocese of Rockville Centre

Revitalizing Catholic Elementary Schools On Long Island

Diocese of Rockville Centre partners with the Marianists on 2020 action plan

he Diocese of Rockville Centre (DRVC) announced the Morning Star Initiative, a bold plan for the revitalization of Catholic elementary school education on Long Island. In partnership with the Marianists, who operate two high schools, a middle school and one elementary school on Long Island, the Diocese is undertaking a comprehensive review of the DRVC elementary schools in 2020, leading to an action plan to restore a robust Catholic culture, academic excellence and fiscally sustainable schools. Bishop John Barres, Bishop of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, believes the initiative is critical to the strength and longevity of Catholic parishes, communities and education on Long Island since most Catholic elementary schools have struggled with enrollment, school building maintenance, and teacher salaries in recent years. Some schools have even been forced to close. “The core of this initiative is to foster the educational and spiritual development of our students,” Bishop Barres said.“We owe it to our parents, families, teachers, parishes, alumni and communities to provide a robust, evangelizing Catholic

education for Long Island children. The Morning Star Initiative establishes four pillars to renew and transform Catholic education on Long Island,” The Diocese has asked Brother Thomas Cleary, S.M., president of Chaminade High School, to serve as the Chief Revitalization Officer and to spearhead

this effort. Brother Thomas will be assisted by his fellow Marianists. The comprehensive effort will seek feedback and ideas from the full spectrum of those with a stake in a revitalized Catholic elementary education: students, parents, teachers, administrators, priests, parish leaders, alumni and community supporters. Morning Star Initiative team on a full review of each Catholic elementary school and making thoughtful recommendations on how they will not only survive, but thrive, in the years ahead. We believe this is our mission.” “Our founder, Blessed William Joseph Chaminade, believed one of the key characteristics of Marianist education is the openness to adaptation and change. This initiative is a great example of that philosophy,” Brother Thomas added. He will continue as president of Chaminade High School. The Morning Star Initiative will commence with stakeholder engagement during the first half of the year. It is expected that the review will be completed towards the end of 2020. The Diocese does not intend to close or consolidate any additional school for the fall 2020 school year. —Submitted by The Diocese of Rockville Centre

Catholic Schools Week Celebrates T Tradition Of Catholic Education BY GARY E. LAYTON

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

atholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. It begins the last Sunday in January, which in 2020 is Sunday, Jan. 26, and runs through Saturday, Feb. 4. The theme for Catholic Schools Week is “Catholic Schools: Learn. Serve. Lead. Succeed.” During Catholic Schools Week, schools across the Diocese, and across the country, mark the occasion with masses and special entertainment and activities for the students, families, parishioners and members of their extended communities. Through these events, schools focus on the value Catholic education provides to young people and the school’s contributions to our church, our communities and our nation. On Long Island, Catholic Elementary Schools celebrate the week with masses and open houses to thank parents and parishioners, and to introduce new families to the benefits of a Catholic education. These frequently kick off with a mass and open house on the Sunday, Jan. 26, but can be held earlier, as St. Patrick School in Huntington is doing on Thursday, Jan. 23. In addition to the open house to welcome new visitors, Catholic Schools Week features a series of events designed to recognize the contributions of students, parents and faculty during the course of the week. Many schools also offer additional open houses and opportunities for prospective new families to visit during the week as well. Catholic schools are unique in many significant ways, and Catholic Schools Week highlights many of those differences. First, Catholic education acknowledges the parents as the original teachers in each of our lives and celebrates the continued and ongoing involvement of parents in their child’s education and with their child’s school. Catholic education is not a “bystander sport” for parents and their participation and service to their child’s education is celebrated with recognition and acknowledgment events to thank them for their commitment.

Catholic Schools Week is also a week to acknowledge the teachers and administrators from the schools who give so much of themselves because they believe in the value of a Catholic education. The teacher’s and staff’s contributions are often recognized through special breakfasts and luncheons that are often prepared by and served by grateful parents. And Catholic Schools Week is a highlight on every student’s calendar. There are interactive game shows, magic shows, animal acts and special guests who come and read to the students, science fairs, book fairs, father-daughter dances, sports competitions, faculty–student contests and much more. Catholic Schools Week is also the best opportunity for families who might be considering the benefits of a Catholic education to experience first-hand the commitment to academic excellence and faith formation in your local school. There you’ll find a unique community environment where children are surrounded by other children, families and a parish, which serve to reinforce moral values and beliefs. The open houses are an opportunity to meet the highly experienced teachers, see the creative classrooms and learn how Catholic elementary schools leverage technology across the curriculum and throughout the school. Prospective families who tour the facilities are introduced to the innovative reading and math programs that accelerate academic achievement. They also get to see how the safe, loving, supportive and orderly environment in a Catholic school makes it the perfect environment to support learning. As many of the touring parents have said, the best part of the visit during Catholic Schools Week is being able to see and feel the difference that a value-centered education can make for every child. This is frequently reinforced by the contact prospective families have with the seventh and eighth grade students, most often as tour guides. When you see the confident, caring and courteous individuals these young men and women have become, you begin to really understand the Catholic school difference.

Frequently asked questions

Q A

As a school family, how do I participate? Each school publishes a complete list of events and activities taking place in their school during the week. School families are encouraged to visit the website of their school.

Q A

As a family considering a Catholic education, how do I learn more? Catholic Schools Week features open houses at the schools where parents and students can visit the school(s) they think they might be interested in and get a tour of the facility, be introduced to the teachers, meet some of the current families and children and generally learn about the academic, spiritual, social and physical development programs.

Q A

As a prospective family, do I have an “assigned school?” One of the first differences you will notice about Catholic school is that you get to select the school that you believe your children will be most successful in. There is no direct “assignment” based on where you live and most school districts provide busing to the school of your choice within a 15-mile radius.

Q A

Is there a difference in tuition to attend a different school? Long Island’s Catholic Elementary Schools set their own tuitions so they vary slightly,

but there is no penalty for choosing a school outside of your parish or town if you are a parishioner in the Diocese.

Q A

What are the tuition rates for the schools? Each school gets to set their tuitions independently based on their costs but on average, annual tuition is approximately $5,500 per year.

Q A

Are non-Catholics welcome in the schools? The schools are welcoming places to everyone without regard to race, religion or national origin. A religion class is a requirement, students participate in liturgies and faith is an integrated part of daily activities, but many schools have a significant population of students who attend because of the quality of the education alone.

Q A

What should parents look for during their visit? Many parents of current students tell us that their decision was emotional and based on a feeling of warmth and caring they got during their visit. Others are more analytical and make direct comparisons based on the results of standardized test scores and high school admittance history. Regardless of how you make your decision, the schools are “open books” during this week, providing whatever information prospective families desire to

Tuition Assistance Makes The Dream A Reality

The goal of the Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation is to make Catholic school an affordable choice for all BY GARY E. LAYTON

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

he Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation is a Long Island based charity that is funded by Long Island businesses and individuals, and used exclusively to support the students and schools of the Diocese of Rockville Centre. The mission of Tomorrow’s Hope is to ensure the excellence and continuance of Catholic schools on Long Island by increasing awareness and by providing scholarship and program funding. Every student from grades K-8 who are attending Catholic elementary school and are in need of tuition assistance are eligible to apply for an award, which is based on the families current economic circumstances and financial need. Applications for scholarship funding are typically made in January following Catholic Schools Week when many Long Islanders visit the school they plan on sending their children to in the following school year. Applications can be processed whether you have already registered at a school, or even if you haven’t registered yet. Only one application is necessary per household and multiple children’s needs can be served based on that one application. Applications can be made online or on paper, and many schools offer coaching days when a representative from Tomorrow’s Hope and the schools are on hand to help families complete and submit the form. Complete confidentiality is the rule, so only you, or you and your ‘coach’ know that you have applied and your sensitive information is carefully guarded and not shared outside of the Foundation and credit scorer. Awards are equally confidential and the faculty and staff of the school are not even aware of which students are utilizing tuition assistance. There is a small processing fee and awards range from $250 to $2,500 per year in the form of a grant. There is some documentation required, like W2 forms and tax returns to ensure the integrity of the application. Individual circumstances that identify special circumstances for the need are also welcomed and help the awards team

evaluate and distribute the scholarship money. Decisions are dependent on when the application was submitted, and processing takes between three and four weeks. The first round of applicants are notified in June. When an award is issued, the money goes directly to the school and is deducted from the school tuition bill. Each award is in name to the student, so even if the student transfers to another Catholic school the award money follows the student and doesn’t stay with the school. In the event there are extenuating circumstances there is a simple, single page appeal application to explain the need for additional funding. It is the goal of Long Island’s Catholic Elementary Schools to welcome every student whose family wishes a high-quality Catholic education for them and the Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation helps families make their catholic school dreams a reality.

ence of sensation and emotion occurs as people form a picture from your description. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People will warm and thrill you. They will also irritate, annoy and overwhelm you. Try seeing people differently. See them as challenges in a social game, as the means to grow your compassion or, if you’re in a position to serve or sell to people, see them as bag of groceries to bring home to your family. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). For so much of what ails the soul, there is no cure. Our best bet is to accept the realities and learn management and workarounds. It’s not settling. It’s actually sort of fun when you get into the spirit of it. You’ll like what you discover this week while trying to work with life’s inescapable fixtures. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You may feel that you’re not ready to share, that you need to learn more before you can contribute. The trouble is that no one can help you move to the next place if they don’t know where you are. Accept your starting point. It’s enough. Tell people so they can help you get where you want to be. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). On some level, you’re not really in the business of selling a service or product. You’re selling an idea. It’s true in regards to presenting yourself especially. What do you think pops into the mind of others when you round the bend? You’ll work on that this week, because it is something you can shape. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People will make all of the difference in the success of your week. If you act as though you are surrounded by superstars, then you will get better results than if you were to simply take people at face value. The way to lift up people is to see more in them than they see in themselves. It’s there; you just have to look for it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Don’t be afraid to pump up the glamour, humor, color and intelligence or to give things more style than they would generally deserve. There’s something charming about pretension -- maybe even something essential. This week’s pretensions will be instances of ambition in its most imaginative form.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Some say that starting is the hardest part, but they’re not as adventurous as you. This solar journey, you’ll launch hobbies, relationships and projects. Starting is easy for you because it’s exciting. The challenges come midway when you have to find new reasons to stay the course and finish strong. That’s where your cosmic birthday gift kicks in. You’ll have the forbearance to cross hurdles and the determination to finish strong. You’ll make beautiful things happen. COPYRIGHT 2020 CREATORS.COM

Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 26 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Most celebrities walk around the city like everyone else. Just because a person can afford to pay someone to hold an umbrella or hail a taxi doesn’t mean it’s the most prudent or attractive option. It’s often best to do what is reasonable and common. Such will be the case for you this week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Inspiring people make you feel brave because they give you a sense of who you could become. It’s so much easier to let go of old ideas about who you are and what you’re capable of if you can first picture something different. You’re ready and willing to ask yourself the tough, introspective questions. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have the cure for someone’s problem. Once upon a time, you also had the methods of prevention, but prevention doesn’t motivate action like the built-in urgency of an ailment. Now, you’re in a power position. Be careful here. Do you want them to depend on you? To do, or to teach, that is the question. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Everything in life has a rhythm, though much of it isn’t catchy, pleasing or consistent enough to be detected. To wield the power of attraction, master rhythm. It’s the heartbeat of humanity, what drives people to and from one another. This week’s success comes from acting with purpose, punctuation and pattern. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). This change you’re considering will entail a lot more than you’re thinking of right now. But it will also be an immersive experience. Once you’re in, you’ll want to do all it takes to go the distance. Start with small, easily won challenges. Building up a track record of success will give you the confidence to take the bigger risks. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your cosmic talent this week is in helping people have an experience they otherwise wouldn’t. In many cases, it will be a journey of imagination. You’ll paint a picture and invite the senses to participate. Then, somehow, a transfer-

Cuomo Announces Deployment Of Additional Assets To Help Puerto Rico N

ew York State Governor Andrew Cuomo recently announced the deployment of further assets to Puerto Rico to assist with emergency response efforts following a series of initial damage assessments conducted by the governor and his delegation. The governor will deploy eight additional engineers and utility experts from the New York Power Authority to address power outages caused by the recent earthquakes and work to stabilize the island’s power system to help mitigate the repeated power outages after a series of dangerous and deadly earthquakes. The state and the Greater New York Hospital Association have authorized the deployment of bilingual mental health professionals to support people on the island who are suffering from the trauma of the disaster. The governor also authorized the deployment of a team of dozens of inspectors from state fire department

and the department of state to conduct more extensive damage assessments of buildings and basic code compliance inspections of public facilities. Additionally, the governor called on President Donald

Trump’s administration to immediately release federal funds to Puerto Rico and declare a major disaster declaration for the damage caused by the earthquakes. “The people of Puerto Rico have

been through hell, and while the federal administration abdicated its responsibility to help American citizens during difficult times, New York is continuing to step up to provide assistance,” Cuomo said. “After surveying the damage and touring the island, we are more resolved than ever to stand shoulder to shoulder with our brothers and sisters in Puerto Rico. “I am authorizing the deployment of more state personnel including building experts, engineers, and mental health professionals to help the island get through this crisis and come out stronger and more resilient than before. I am also demanding the Trump administration immediately release federal funds that have been held up for two years to Puerto Rico and declare a major disaster declaration for the damage caused by the earthquakes so Puerto Rico residents can rebuild their homes and lives.” —Submitted by the office of Governor Andrew Cuomo

BOOKS

Catch A Nationalist Flag Give Me Liberty celebrates a nation for everyone BY JOE SCOTCHIE

jscotchie@antonnews.com

ationalism is out of place in a liberal democracy like the United States. The U.S., along with Great Britain, represents the heart and soul of liberal democracy. Where would it be without them? The election of Donald Trump and the vote by Britain to leave the European Union are not the nationalist triumphs the media claimed they were. They were shocking, but the real nationalism comes from such countries as China, Japan, India, Turkey, Egypt, Iran, Hungary, Italy, Russia and Poland. Nationalism varies from nation to nation, but it is a matter of men putting race, ethnicity and religion, or a combination of two or three, above all else. American conservatives stand for liberal democracy: Free elections, free speech, freedom of religion, a free media and equality of opportunity. Now they are confronted with the specter of

global nationalism. Richard Brookhiser, author of Give Me Liberty: A History of America’s Exeptional Idea has been an editor at National Review for decades. Still, this volume is very much a progressive reading of American history. Oldfashioned conservatives would be appalled at its contents and its choice of heroes. Brookhiser celebrates a nation where “men and women, of all backgrounds, worship and think, write and speak and aspire to office.” Who’s going to argue with that? Conservative nationalism would also have America playing an active, militaristic role in the world. At least Brookhiser doesn’t hold up George W. Bush as a model. The book celebrates progress, such as the Seneca Falls Convention. Old-fashioned conservatives were skeptical, if not outright opponents of democracy. They loved to point out that America was a republic, not a democracy. Self-sufficiency meant that

elections wouldn’t matter. Similarly, Brookhiser’s predecessors at National Review opposed the civil rights legislation of the 1950s and ’60s, while criticizing the excesses in Dr. King’s rhetoric. Give Me Liberty is a quickie book. There were bound to be omissions. George Washington did not lead the last integrated army until the Korean War. Andrew Jackson’s army at The Battle of New Orleans was a collection of whites, free blacks, American Indians and Mexican-Americans. Brookhiser also celebrates Ellis Island immigration. The America Party (“Know Nothings”) were hardly its only opponents. In 1920, Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge ran on a ticket supporting an immigration moratorium. The GOP won landslide victories that year and again in 1924. Most striking is the chapter on Franklin Roosevelt. Conservatives have never had a good word to

say about the man. The New Deal did nothing to alleviate economic suffering. Roosevelt knew Pearl Harbor was coming; His oil embargo on Japan made it inevitable. His White House, on Dec. 7, 1941, refused to put the military on alert, action that would have prevented the Japanese attack. This book is nationalism for liberals—America’s not as bad you say it is—even though few of them are going to listen.

SOUP’S ON Soups that warm the soul There is nothing quite like a piping hot bowl of soup to shake off winter’s chill. Humans have known about the power of soup for centuries—evidence shows the first recipes date back to 20,000 BC. Try these soul-warming recipes as respite from the cold. —Cyndi Zaweski

Creamy Clam Chowder Channel your inner New Englander with this hearty one-pot dish that requires only a little help from a handy immersion blender. And you don’t have to feel bad about indulging in this dish, because low-fat milk is substituted to lighten it up. Additionally, clams are always a great low-fat, high-protein seafood option. They contain a handful of healthful nutrients, such as selenium, zinc, iron and magnesium. Rima Kleiner, MS, RD and blogger at Dish on Fish shared her favorite recipe for a New England-style Clam Chowder.

Tomato-Tortellini Soup When the weather is frightfully cold and you need something quick to warm you up, try this recipe for tomato-tortellini soup. With only four main ingredients, you’ll be warm and cozy in no time. This recipe was adapted from Better Homes and Gardens and distributed by Family Features. 2 14oz cans reduced-sodium chicken broth 1 9oz bag of refrigerated tortellini 1 8oz tub cream cheese spread with chive and onion 1 can tomato soup Fresh chives (optional) Salt, pepper or cumin to taste In a medium saucepan bring broth to a boil. Add tortellini then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for five minutes. In a bowl whisk 1/3 cup of hot broth into the cream cheese spread. Whisk until smooth. Pour contents into saucepan. Stir in tomato soup and heat through. Serve with fresh chives, if desired. Bring soup to boil over medium-high heat. Cover and reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes. Uncover and add salt, pepper, or cumin to taste.

2 tbsp olive oil 1 medium onion, finely diced 3 celery stalks, finely diced ¾ cup low fat milk ¾ cup half-and-half 3 tbsp whole wheat flour 2 (10oz) cans chopped clams in clam juice, reserve clams separately 1½ cups chicken broth 1 lb. russet or Yukon potatoes, scrubbed, peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes 1 bay leaf ½ tsp smoked salt ¼ tsp black pepper (or amount to desired taste) Crusty sourdough bread or oyster crackers, as accompaniment Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Add onion and celery; sauté until vegetables are tender and translucent, about two minutes. While vegetables are cooking, put milk, half-and-half and flour into a medium bowl and mix until combined. Add milk mixture, clam juice from cans (but not the clams), broth, potatoes, bay leaf, smoked salt and pepper to pot. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often, until potatoes are fork tender and the soup thickens, about 20 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Now that potatoes are tender, partially blend the soup using an immersion blender; puree until soup reaches your desired consistency. Add clams and cook another two to three minutes, or until clams are firm and cooked through. Serve chowder with crusty sourdough bread or oyster crackers.

Matzo Ball Soup Matzah balls (or matzo balls) are traditionally served in chicken soup and are a staple food on the Jewish holiday of Passover, but you don’t need a special occasion to enjoy this recipe. Courtesy of the James Beard Foundation, this recipes serves 4 to 8. For the soup: ½ large chicken (about 2 ½ pounds), cut into pieces or a combination of chicken parts to equal 4 pounds 4 stalks celery, tops included, roughly chopped 3 to 4 carrots, roughly chopped 2 yellow onions, roughly chopped 1 small parsnip, roughly chopped 1 small turnip, peeled and chopped 1 tablespoon Kosher salt 1 tsp whole black peppercorns 1 point of a star anise 4 sprigs fresh dill For the matzo balls: 5 large eggs 4 tbsp hot chicken soup or water 3 tbsp chicken fat (schmaltz), skimmed from the soup 1 tsp kosher salt plus more for cooking water 1 cup plus 2 tsp matzo meal

Make the soup: place all of the ingredients except the dill in an 8-quart stock pot and add about three quarts of cold water to cover. Set over high heat and bring to a boil, skimming any froth that rises to the surface. Turn the heat down to low, set the cover ajar, and simmer for about two hours. Add the dill and continue simmering an additional 45 minutes. Turn off the heat, cool to room temperature, and strain through a fine sieve. Refrigerate. If you can prepare the soup a day or two in advance, it will taste even better. Skim off any fat that coagulates on the surface and reserve the fat for the matzo balls. Make the matzo balls: a few hours before serving, prepare the matzo balls. In a large pot, bring the strained soup to a simmer. In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, soup (or water), chicken fat and salt. Beat in the matzo meal and refrigerate, uncovered, for one hour. Bring about five quarts of water to a boil with 1 ½ tablespoons Kosher salt dissolved in it. Remove the matzo meal mixture from the fridge. Wet your hands with cold water and gently shape about two tablespoons of the mixture into a sphere by rolling it around in the palms of your hands. Try not to compact the ball too much. Note that the matzo balls will swell to more than double their size when cooked. Add the rolled matzo balls to the boiling salted water and repeat with the remaining mixture. Bring the water back to a boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to a simmer, tightly cover the pot, and cook for about 40 minutes until the matzo balls are floating on the surface, puffed, and snowy white. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the matzo balls to the hot soup. Keep warm until you are ready to serve.

Bayville Native Wins Survivor BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

e made it to the final five on CBS’ Survivor: Island of the Idols by focusing on building relationships with others rather than winning a competition. And now, Floral Park-Bellerose Elementary School fourth-grade teacher and Bayville native Tommy Sheehan was officially crowned winner during the show’s finale last month. “It feels so incredible to not only have played Survivor, but to win,” Sheehan said. “I have watched this show since the very start. My family and I would sit around every single week and watch together. Ever since I was little I dreamt of playing this game. Most of my friends would dream about playing in the NBA or the NFL, but I had the dream of playing Survivor.” In the finale, Sheehan had to turn against two of his allies, Lauren Beck and Janet Carbin, since he knew that they would be hard to beat in the end. He was able to convince the jury that he played a better game than fellow

contestants, Dean Kowalski and Noura Salman, despite not having the accolades the other two built by winning physical challenges and collecting hidden advantages. “The best part of winning was seeing how proud I made so many people,” Sheehan said. “I received a ton of fan-mail and messages that told me I inspired people to go after their dreams. This truly made this whole experience worthwhile. I am very

thankful for this opportunity that CBS gave me.” Not only did Sheehan win the entire competition, but he also walked away with $1 million. “Winning the money was just a bonus for me,” he said. “I am so competitive and I really wanted to win to be named the sole survivor and champion. However, I will never complain about getting the million dollars. I have to pay off student loans,

have a wedding to pay for and then I want to help my sister out also.” Sheehan has been a fan of Survivor since he was about seven years old, and remembers his parents telling him that it was the one night that he could stay up until 9 p.m. “That was half the reason why I loved watching the show because I got to stay up a little later,” said Sheehan. “Ever since I was seven years old, I’ve always said that I want to play that show and I want to win. So last year, my mom was at the dinner table and was like, ‘Tommy, why don’t you apply for Survivor? You’d be so good at it.’” Following his mother’s advice, Sheehan put in his application and didn’t think anything of it. However, producers called him that day and flew him out to the final auditions where he got the show on his first try. “Going into the game, I always wanted to downplay everything,” explained Sheehan. “I didn’t want to be the captain of the team because usually, they end up going home early. I didn’t want to be the best challenge player because I didn’t want to be a

ENTERTAINMENT beast in the challenges and then, I’m a threat. I just wanted to make sure that I can have one-on-one conversations with everyone. I wanted to build real connections with everybody because I feel like it’s harder to vote out somebody you truly do like and bond with. I wanted to get in-depth with people about who they are and their struggles. I just wanted to find that bond with each and every one of them.” According to Sheehan, the hardest part of surviving on the island was the rain and the cold temperatures at night. “I didn’t think the rain was going to be so bad,” remembered Sheehan. “I think it was our first day out there. We were so cold. When you think Fiji, you think 100 degrees, but at night, it drops down to 50 degrees and when it’s pouring rain, you just watch the moon and the stars cross the sky, and it feels like it’s an eternity. Also missing my family [was hard]. It’s only 39 days, but after one day on that island, I was like ‘Damn. I miss my family so much.’ You don’t know [on the show] who’s lying to you and who’s not. It really is hard because none of these people love me; they all want me out eventually. You miss that comfort of someone having your back.”

Tommy Sheehan competed against contestants from around the country during this season’s Survivor. (Photo by CBS) Interestingly enough, now that he’s a teacher, Sheehan didn’t like school when he was growing up because he found it boring and was bullied. However, it was his fourth-grade teacher Miss Bennett who found his true potential inside of him. “Miss Bennett made me fall in love with school and that was the year I found my best friend, which I still have today,” said Sheehan. “I finally started getting friends and I found confidence. I was always a struggling

reader, I was really bad at math and my fourth grade teacher just spent all that extra time with me. She found the good in me when all my other teachers gave up on me. Without Miss Bennett, to be honest, I don’t know if I would have gone to college. She drives me to be that change in people’s lives and make learning fun and do crazy things. I stand on desks, I do cartwheels, I throw silly string at kids and I pop off confetti cannons. Every day, when I get in my car, if I’m not

exhausted I didn’t do my job. I want to make sure that I reach all 21 kids, not just the kids with the best grades, but everyone who needs the help.” Overall, Sheehan said that he just wants to show his students that they can follow their dreams if they work hard enough to achieve them. “I’m very happy with CBS and the show is amazing,” said Sheehan. “I’m just happy that they gave me an opportunity to do something that I love so much.”

Long Island In The Majors:

A Look At Local MLB Players BY MIKE ADAMS

madams@antonmediagroup.com

est Islip hurler Nick Tropeano became the most recent Long Island baseball player to make headlines when he inked a deal with the New York Yankees earlier this month. First brought to prominence in the baseball world as a starter on the dominant Stony Brook University baseball teams of the early 2010s, Tropeano will now look to claw out a spot on the major league roster over spring training. The 29-year-old has struggled to bounce back from a 2016 Tommy John surgery that cost him all of the following year, posting ballooned numbers in his big league outings as he bounced between the Los Angeles Angels and the team’s minor league affiliates. Tropeano is far from the first Long Islander to net a contract in the big leagues. Suffolk County has famously been home to several major league hitters, including Kings Park’s hall-offame second baseman Craig Biggio and Southampton-born triple-crown winner Carl Yastrzemski. Over in Nassau, Bethpage High School alum Joe Sambito earned 12 saves in relief for the Boston Red Sox en route to their infamous defeat in the 1986 World Series. Lately, Long Island has been a breeding ground for major-league caliber pitchers in particular, but keen-eyed observers will find natives in the league at all sorts of positions. Here’s a look at some of the local products making their way at the highest level of America’s pastime.

Travis Jankowski

A fellow veteran of the Seawolves powerhouse baseball teams of the 2010s, Jankowski was drafted out of Stony Brook by the San Diego Padres with the 44th overall pick in the first round of the 2012 MLB Draft, the highest a Seawolf has ever been selected. He made his debut with the top-level squad in 2015, and bolstered

the team’s outfield with his strong defensive play and speedy legs until being traded to the Cincinnati Reds at the end of the 2019 season. The Lancaster, PA, native was enshrined in the Stony Brook Hall of Fame in 2017, and was named a first-team All American while helping lead the Seawolves to the College Baseball World Series in his 2012 junior season.

Blue Jays in 2014, but truly made himself a household name three years later, when he finished 2017 with both a Gold Glove for his fielding and MVP honors in the 2017 World Baseball Classic, the first tournament won by the U.S. since the competition’s 2006 inception. Stroman made his first All-Star appearance in 2019, and was sent to the New York Mets a couple days before the league’s trade deadline. In 11 starts for the Mets, Stroman posted a 4-2 record with a 3.77 ERA. Catch him sporting No. 0 at Citi Field in 2020.

John surgery delayed his debut in the majors until 2012, but Matz made up for lost time when he finally got his chance to step up to the mound in Flushing. Matz excelled in his first two seasons with the club, compiling a 13-8 record with a 3.16 ERA in 28 starts from 2014-15. Since then, he has made himself a fixture in the team’s starting rotation, averaging nearly one strikeout per inning with a strong fastball and solid breaking pitches that have consistently netted him a high number of swings-and-misses from opposing hitters. He’s also made headlines off the field for his charitable efforts through his foundation Tru 32, which honors first responders with free Mets tickets and raises money for the children of firefighters, police officers and military personnel who have perished in the line of duty.

The diminutive pitcher first made waves as a high school ballplayer in his hometown of Medford out in Suffolk County. Drafted straight out of Patchogue-Medford High School in 2009, Stroman instead opted to further his education at Duke University, where an extra few seasons only increased his draft prospects.
