The New Officer On The Block SVU’s Jamie Gray Hyder talks about joining long lasting show

here’s a new officer patrolling the streets of New York City on NBC’s long-running crime drama Law & Order: SVU, which chronicles the lives of the Special Victims Unit of the NYPD, an elite squad of detectives who investigate crimes of sexual assault, child abuse and domestic violence. Actress Jamie Gray Hyder, who portrays officer Katriona “Kat” Azar Tamin, joined the show in its 21st season and became involved with the show like any other actor or actress would—through a taped audition. “You treat every audition Jamie Gray Hyder as Officer Katriona “Kat” like it can change your life Azar Tamin (Photo by Virginia Sherwood/NBC) because it can, but the second

you’re done with it you sort of have to let it go because if it doesn’t pan out, you don’t want to spend all this time worrying and feeling anxious,” Hyder said. “So I got a request for a self-tape audition, which I did with my coach and submitted it like you would do with any self-tape. A few weeks later, I get a call saying that I’m still in the mix. When I heard that I got so excited because I forced myself to forget about it. Eventually, I got the call saying that I was the one and that they were going to try me out for a few episodes. After that went well, they decided to bring me on full time and I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity.” Hyder explains Tamin as someone who is independent, stubborn, driven and extremely caring, which are all qualities one would want in an officer. “I know for a lot of the viewers, they probably feel that they want to get to know her a little bit more,” Hyder said. “Personally, she seems a little bit guarded, but I think if you look at the moments in the show when she gets emotional or angry or upset, I think that’s a really big clue to what drives her. She really wants to serve as a voice for those who are underrepresented in her community and in the law enforcement system. I think that’s where you really see her heart come through.” Drawing similarities between herself and her character, Hyder said that they both had to find their way into a new cast and squad. “Our situation mirrors each other especially in the beginning as Kat was trying to find her way through this new squad, I was trying to find my way in this new cast,” Hyder said. “I think it made if very easy to draw from my own life when it came to feeling like you have to prove yourself, but not overstep. You want to become friends with the people you’re working with and be respectful of what came before you.” This season, fans will get to learn more about Tamin and see her grow into herself more as a person and officer. “Fans will learn a lot about me with my personal life in an episode where you get a glimpse of her after work atmosphere,” Hyder said. “Beyond that, I think fans will start to see her settle into her place a little bit more. Her

instincts will mature and I think you’ll see Kat calm down a little bit and focus once she feels confident in the group.” Most of SVU’s plot lines are ripped from the headlines, which deal with real life situations that are serious in nature. Reflecting those real life stories is something that means a lot to Hyder. “This job as an actor can be very self-serving if you let it be,” she said. “However, I see it as an opportunity to really have a platform for change and to work on a show like SVU where we really are dealing with these difficult and very real issues makes the job so much more meaningful for me. I believe with social media there can be a very harmful value system that’s playing out right now in the world and for those of us who have a platform whether it’s in life or online, we have a responsibility to use that platform in a positive manner. A show like this really allows us to not only illuminate a lot of issues through our subject matter, and as individuals it gives us as actors a platform to really lobby for change.” So what is it like to work with a cast that includes someone like seasoned actress Mariska Hargitay? “I feel like I’ve gained family members,” Hyder said. “They’ve all been huge mentors for me. I have a really good time with everyone. My relationship with Mariska is very much like Kat and Olivia’s relationship. She helps with advice along the way. If I have an issue or a question, I go to her. She’s happy to help and to answer any questions. When you’re dealing with such heavy subject matter on a daily basis, it’s really important that we take the moments in between to laugh and lighten the mood. I think with all of us together that’s very apparent.” For the time being, Hyder is wrapped up in SVU, since the show films 10 months out of the year. “I have been lucky to work regularly since July and that’s a big gift as an actor to work on a steady job,” she said. “In my downtime, I hope to find a few small projects that I can contribute to and I’ll take whatever free time I have to continue supporting the people and organizations that are out there that are doing the good work for the rest of us.” Watch Law & Order: SVU on Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET on NBC.

These Are Law & Order franchise BY ANTHONY MURRAY AND CAROLINE RYAN

Detective Cyrus Lupo

Across all three franchises of Law & Order, there is no denying that the characters who were on the front lines putting the worst of the worst criminals behind bars were dedicated and devoted to their mission. From the top-notch lieutenants, detectives and assistant district attorneys, criminals didn’t stand a chance.

(Played by Jeremy Sisto)

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

Lieutenant Anita Van Buren (Played by S. Epatha Merkerson) In NBC’s longest and most powerful legal drama television series, Law & Order, S. Epatha Merkerson, who played Lieutenant Anita Van Buren, often referred to as “Lu,” was a long-standing character, having filmed more than 395 episodes of the show. “The show was written beautifully and I think the testament of that is even after 10 years of cancellation, people are still talking about episodes of Law & Order,” Merkerson said. “People still stop me on the street [to ask] about Law & Order; that means that the audience really appreciated what was written and it was written smartly. We never dumbed the audience down. I believe that’s what people want when they sit down to watch television, that was a reason to stay [on the show]. Also being able to be at home, because New York is home for me, made it even more inviting. Who knew when I took the job that I would end up on 17 seasons? I certainly didn’t. As I look back on it, it was a great 17 years spent. I learned a lot. I worked with some great people and I got to stay home.” Merkerson learned a lot during her time on Law & Order, stating that every day was a new experience for her as an actor. “As long as you’re working, you’re learning,” Merkerson said. “As an actor, it’s interesting when you’re a regular on the show and your guests come in, I learn a lot from them as well because the casting for Law & Order was really pretty incredible. But I think that as long as you’re working,

you’re learning something. It’s hard to be specific, and your thought process on television you have to learn quickly there is not the leisure that you may have for rehearsal in theater or working in film. So you learn how to pick up things quickly. There are all kinds of things that happen daily as you’re working. But again, as long as you’re working, you’re using your instrument, there’s something new every day.”

Although the pressure of the job might sometimes have gotten to Law & Order’s senior detective Cyrus Lupo, one thing was for sure. He was dedicated and devoted to his work. Prior to rejoining the NYPD’s Manhattan North Homicide Squad’s 27th Precinct, Detective Lupo, who was portrayed by actor Jeremy Sisto, spent four years as a member of the NYPD Intelligence Division investigating terrorist groups overseas. Years ago while he was a patrolman in the 27th Precinct, Lupo visited a crime scene in which a father murdered his wife and children. The bloody crime scene left Lupo with PTSD making him drink to deal with the trauma, which had a trickle effect within the precinct. Lupo continued drinking until he fell asleep in a patrol car while hung over on the job. Lupo’s partner went to get him a cup of coffee and was killed during an armed robbery inside a bodega. Wracked with guilt, Lupo quit drinking and got therapy. As a result of his brother’s assisted suicide, Lupo returns to the 27th Precinct to investigate it. Throughout his time in the precinct, Lupo was partnered with detectives Ed Green, who was portrayed by Jesse L. Martin and later Kevin Bernard, who was portrayed by Anthony Anderson. “You know, Anthony was really fun to be with and so was Jesse,” Sisto said about his fondest memories working on the show. “With Jesse it was the end of a nine year run and I think he was ready to go. Anthony just came in with some fresh and fun energy. I love the guy. You definitely have to match his energy, which is hard to be around if you want to be shy. He’s really good bringing people out of their shell. He’s really loveable and also had a really positive outlook on work. He was always staying positive and had fun with it. He enjoyed his job. Every

now and then you’d come into some actors who complain a little bit about stuff and that kind of vibe can be contagious—that doesn’t even cross Anthony’s mind. You know who else is like that? Alana [de la Garza]. Linus [Roache] was also great. I just did a show with him called Kidnapped. That was really fun. He’s such a good guy. It’s always about the people you hang out with.” Sisto added that in Dick Wolf’s world there is always room for healthy growth where there are no egos allowed. “The other thing was that Law & Order was at the end of a 20 year run,” Sisto said. “Our DP started out as a PA or something. They’ve all grown-up in the ranks and kind of moved up the ladder within this company and group, so that was really a unique vibe. It was different and it took some getting used to because it was a different thing. On Dick’s shows, there’s not a ton of room for ego, which is a great thing because on successful shows you tend to have a few actors who want to take up a lot of space. In Dick’s world, they’re very specific. You either get with it or you get off.”

Their Stories has a rich history of characters Assistant District Attorney Serena Southerlyn (Played by Elisabeth Röhm) Elisabeth Röhm, started out her acting career in her early 20s, landing a spot on the famous television series, Law & Order. Participating in four seasons as Assistant District Attorney Serena Southerlyn, Röhm explained how the show really shaped her career and future as an actress in Hollywood. “Law & Order was the longest journey for me on television and the relationships that I built with Jerry Orbach, Sam Waterston, Fred Thompson, Jesse Martin and Apatha Markerson, they really became very pivotal relationships for me,” Röhm said. “Sam and I are still good friends, and I think when you’re on a TV series, you’re really learning so much about how to conduct yourself within a sort of family dynamic like that. I mean, as far as Jerry and Sam go, their work ethic was such a great example for me at that age. I mean they worked so hard and so intelligently that it really left a big impact on me about how I approached my work.” Actors, such as Waterson and Orbach, had an expansive acting career under their belts and taught Röhm a lot about what it meant to be an actor. “I think really what I gained as an actor was a tremendous work ethic of positivity,” Röhm said. “Really servicing the story and doing the work as an actor for your character and not being so swept up with the fantasy of it all. Because of the fact that my colleagues were Jerry Orbach and Sam Waterston. I mean, those are real actors. I never was in my 20s in environments where I developed bad habits about a sense of entitlement based upon being an actor.” Although it has been 10 years since Rohm last appeared on Law & Order, she looks back at her time on the show with fond memories. Having grown up in New York, Röhm has a special place in her heart, having

“In my last day of work Sam Waterston wrote a speech. He said, I came into Law & Order with a blow torch of happiness, and I have a child like enthusiasm for life,” Rohm said. “I like to have fun. I like to treat people kindly. I want to make an impact. I want to make a difference. And I think that I do have that child-like enthusiasm and idealism and belief in humanity. I’m never surprised when people are kind because I know inside of us is all this hope and desire to evolve and to be happy. That doesn’t mean there that there aren’t criminal minds and degradation and despair and poverty and violence.”

In many ways, Röhm’s character Serena mimicked her true personality, always wanting to find the good in people, even though she was often faced with the realities of crime and violence as a prosecutor. “In my heart there’s this belief that people are good, not that people who do bad things aren’t bad, but that the spirit of human beings in general that there’s hope for us,” she said. “I think that Serena had that idealism and I do too. Twenty years ago, when I was playing Serena, she had an idealism that I still feel is very relatable for me personally. Serena wanted to change the world for the better and so do I.”

Detective Joe Cormack (Played by Joe Forbrich)

filmed so many episodes of Law & Order in the city she once called home. “For me, Law & Order was particularly special because I’m from New York,” Röhm said. “Going to Hollywood to become an actor and coming back home to your hometown with that caliber of a job, but also a job that New Yorkers take pride in was the most incredible moment of my life. I mean your parents say to you, ‘You want to be what? You want to be an actor? Are you crazy?’ And then you actually come home with the sweetest job that a New York actor could get. We were very special in New York and forever that will mean so much [to me] because I am a New Yorker through and through.” After the show came to an end, Waterson wrote a speech commemorating some of the hard work cast members on the show had accomplished throughout the years, including Röhm.

As a young adult, Joe Forbrich attended SUNY Old Westbury, where he majored in the thing he felt most passionate about, acting. In 1989, Forbrich moved to Chicago where he started a theatre group called Shattered Globe Theatre, an ensemble-based theatre group, which produces seasonal theatre performances. After moving back to New York many years later, he auditioned for a part in the Law & Order franchise. Although he wasn’t given the part he auditioned for, Forbirch appeared in 17 episodes of Law & Order, appearing as Detective Joe Cormack, Detective Ed Green’s (Jesse Martin) partner. Forbrich has fond memories of his appearance on Law & Order, having concluded the last three seasons of the show, he became close with the cast. “It became a team thing,” Forbrich said. “We were a tight-knit group; very nice and welcoming. The reason that it was such a great show was because they were a really great team,” Forbrich said. “It was just a

really good feeling to work on Law & Order, I appreciated that the show hired a lot of Broadway actors. But it’s all about relationships. Y1es talent, yes experience, but it’s more about how you build those relationships.”

AJC Long Island Names New Director Eric Post brings enthusiasm to AJC

BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

he American Jewish Committee (AJC) is one of the largest advocacy groups in the world. The organization constantly fights for Jewish rights across the globe, whether it’s stopping the spread of anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism, or fighting for human rights. On Long Island, the AJC is spreading their message by working with local synagogues, interfaith networks and universities, fighting bigotry and spreading messages of peace. As Eric Post, AJC’s new Long Island regional director, settles into his role, he is prepared to expand the organization’s presence. How excited are you about this new opportunity? I grew up in West Hempstead, spent my whole adolescence there and I was very involved in the United Synagogue Youth (USY) movement. I met a lot of the rabbis and professionals I met then 20 years later. I always wanted to return to Long Island. I’ve been with AJC for four years. I interned in the Long Island office of AJC in 2002, and I’ve been engaged for almost 20 years. How do you plan to work with the universities on Long Island to fight anti-Semitism and also provide Jewish organizations new resources? As far as pro-Israel organizations go, the campus is a crowded marketplace. AJC doesn’t want to duplicate or compete with other organizations, but we want to add what we can. We bring university presidents and chancellors to Israel. Now, we’re bringing diversity

Q A

Eric Post officers, so when a student’s grade is docked or they’re not getting recommendations because they went to a study abroad program in Israel, the first person they contact is the head of diversity. The goal is not to brainwash them or make them pro-Israel advocates. The goal is to explain to them the complexity of the situation, to explain to them what the Jewish community and Arab community is going through. Now that they’re coming back, they can see why statements are offensive. We do a lot of coalition building on campus, working with the Latino community, the Muslim community and the Asian American community. We’re very interested in building bridges to fight hate. Anti-Semitism is not just a Jewish problem. What we say is Jews are usually the canaries in the coal mine. When you put the canary down and it doesn’t come up, anti-Semitism is usually the tip of the iceberg. Coalition building around anti-Semitism and hate is very important. We develop relationships with Hillel and Chabad on campuses. Very specifically, we need help teaching our students how to be advocates.

Eric Post spoke at the March Against Anti-Semitism in January. (Photos courtesy of Eric Post/AJC)

How do we advocate for student groups that want to become advocates with their elected officials? How difficult is it for you to be the point person to get all of these people to come together? We’re very fortunate on Long Island to have a strong board. We have about 15 people who have been engaged with AJC. These people jump at opportunities to meet with diplomats and elected officials to build interfaith bridges. We have another layer of people who aren’t on the board, but they’re contributing to AJC and are engaged in our work. When people on Long Island

Q A

join us in meetings, it’s great. We’re always looking to build new support. We’re doing a lot of events at different synagogues and bringing in AJC experts from around the world. How does AJC attempt to spread the truth about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? We seek out the leaders from different communities. We’re a leader-to-leader organization. How do we meet with people at the highest levels to disseminate this information? We empower our board members, elected officials and leaders. We have a Translate Hate guide to educate people about

Q A

anti-Semitism. I think that’s the first step to educate elected officials. Thankfully, on Long Island, we don’t have issues with BDS [Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement] on campus. You can see the connection between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism when people call Israel a group of Nazis. It’s a hop, skip and jump from saying Israel doesn’t exist to anti-Semitism. We in the Jewish community get to decide what anti-Semitism is and no one can tell us what constitutes anti-Semitism. When you say Israel doesn’t have the right to be a state, it’s anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism.

Italian Doctor Speaks On The Impact Of The Coronavirus BY MARCO SCHADEN

mschaden@antonmediagroup.com

Editor’s Note: This interview was translated from Italian to English.

r. Duccio Alessandro Marchi is a general practitioner with a specialization in psychiatry. He practices in Urbino, Italy, a city in the Le Marche region. He graduated from the University of Bologna, and has been a practicing physician for more than 37 years.

Q A

What is the current situation of the coronavirus in Italy? The situation is difficult because it’s a moment where the disease is growing exponentially. Every day that passes, the cases augment. The numbers doubled from yesterday to today. How many patients are you seeing everyday with symptoms? How many are you sending to get tested everyday for the coronavirus? I have 1,500 patients. Every day is different. One day last week, I saw symptoms in six people. Yesterday (March 11), I started the process of sending two people to get tested. Today (March 12), for example, I didn’t send any patients to get testing. The important thing to understand is that coronavirus testing does not change the outcome of the disease. It is there to help and protect others who may have been in contact with that person, to try to contain it. How are you meeting with patients and has that changed over time? With my patients, I try to take precautions for myself, but also for them. The most important thing is distance; I try to keep three to six feet of distance between me and the patient. I only let one patient into the office at a time, with only one person in the waiting room. I wear a mask, gloves and a lab coat that is washed daily. Because the Italian state was not able to provide this gear for every medic, each doctor had to take the necessary precautions into their own hands. How has this virus affected day-to-day life in Italy? The Italian way of life is virtually unrecognizable at the moment.

Q A

do more sooner. We were not able to organize ourselves in a timely manner. The Italian state was not ready for a pandemic like this. In Italy, we are hoping to see the effects of these drastic measures in a few weeks and hopefully see a reduction of cases. Being in the medical field, are you fearful that you might get infected as well? I don’t have fear. This is the work you put in as a physician and this is my profession. If I had fear, I would not be able to do my job. But it is a stressful situation and moment. I very much feel the need to help others, not only with their physical ailments as we try to contain [the coronavirus], but also the psychological effects of this pandemic. Is there enough medical equipment and coronavirus tests to deal with the outbreak? There is a system in place for testing, which is a good thing. The issue we are having is that masks, equipment and protective gear are in short supply, but high demand. Beyond that, the country has reached a point where hospitals have limited room for those who need treatment—the system is completely overwhelmed in certain regions where the coronavirus spread is more severe. Here in Urbino-Pesaro the hospitals are at full capacity, and those who need medical attention are being sent to other hospitals. Was Italy ready for a public health crisis like this? What, if anything, could have been done better?

Q A

Dr. Duccio Alessandro Marchi

‘‘

The important thing to understand is that coronavirus testing does not change the outcome of the disease.

’’

—Dr. Duccio Alessandro Marchi We are a social society, Italians love to congregate. Now, there are no public gatherings, they recently closed restaurants and bars. People don’t walk in the streets without special permissions. The situation is evolving every day, with increased restrictions. Most people are homebound. Even if it’s difficult, we are doing this to save people. To go out, you have to have a valid reason, along with a printed certificate stating your reason. Whether that is a doctor visit, caring for elderly, food shopping or a trip to the pharmacy, you must have a purpose to be out of your home. Why do you believe it is spreading so quickly? The main reason is that this is a new virus and nobody has antibodies, so it naturally expands very quickly through the population. But there is also mismanagement, not just in Italy, but seemingly on a global scale. The right measures were not taken at the right time. We had to

Q A

Call For Artists Anton Media Group, which publishes 17 newspapers on Long Island, is putting together a cover contest open to local artists. The winner of this cover contest will have their art featured on the cover of our special section called Springtime that’ll appear in the middle of April 2020 and will also be featured in an adjoining article about the contest.

We could have done things better in the years leading up to this. We should have never cut budgets. We should have never closed hospitals. The healthcare and hospital system could have been supported and given more funding in the years before this pandemic hit, always with the idea that this could have happened. This was always a possibility. Are doctors making life-anddeath decisions for patients with the virus and potentially using resources on other patients that have a better chance to live? For my particular job, no. My patients are all treated. But I have heard that in hospitals overwhelmed by this pandemic, doctors do need to make decisions and will opt to take someone who has a better chance of recovery. Those are decisions that doctors are needing to make many times on a daily basis. What should other countries do to avoid the situation that Italy is currently in? It’s difficult to say. Prepare for a restrictive lifestyle—isolation and containment is the only way to slow this down. Try to have masks and supplies for medical staff and the general public. Make sure you have the capability to care for the sick, at hospitals and ICUs—with ventilators and equipment. Contain the virus before it gets to this point. Gloves, masks and protection are key. We hope that in the next few weeks, we will see the results of isolation and containment and watch the spread of this disease slow down.

The Pride Are Dancing Hofstra ends national tournament drought, wins CAA championship BY CHRISTOPHER BIRSNER Cbirsner@antonmediagroup.com

t’s been nearly two decades since Hofstra last earned a berth to the NCAA tournament back when current Villanova coach Jay Wright was the face of the program. But the Pride was able to achieve that last week, even though there will be no tournament to go to. Overcoming their recent Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) tournament demons, Hofstra came back from behind to beat reigning CAA champion Northeastern to capture a conference title and automatic bid for the NCAA tournament, which was canceled shortly after the Pride’s victory due to the coronavirus pandemic. “It’s euphoric,” head coach Joe Mihalich said during the trophy ceremony. “I’m just so happy for our great university. Its a fabulous place with wonderful people.” The game was won with outstanding guard play by Eli Pemberton, Desure Buie and Jalen Ray. Buie led the team with 20 points and five NORTH SHORE ANIMAL LEAGUE AMERICA

assists. But Pemberton had a monster second half, scoring 12 of his 19 points in the latter two quarters. Ray was the third-highest scorer with 17 points, and forward Issac Kante led the team in rebounds with 15. Mihalich took a moment on stage to praise Pemberton and Buie for their attitude and effort on and off the court. “[Buie and Pemberton] are just winners,” Mihaich said. “They just decided they are going to win. They make this team great every day. They make their teammates better every day.”

Hofstra was down by seven early in the game, but made it a two-point game before the half. The rest of the game was neck-and-neck until the Pride went on a 17-4 run to cap off the championship. “It wasn’t an ugly game, but it was a back-and-forth game,” Miahlich said. “Our poise and composure [won the game].” Hofstra finished the season with a 26-8 overall record, and finished at the top of the CAA with a 14-4 conference record. They also had some big wins this season, including an upset victory over UCLA earlier in the year.

Curran Outlines First Responder Infectious Disease Preparedness

assau County Executive Laura Curran was joined by New York State Assemblywoman Judy Griffin and first responders from the Nassau County Office of Emergency Management (OEM), EMS and the fire marshal’s office, as well as the Malverne Fire Department, to review Nassau’s emergency pandemic and infectious disease protocol. On March 13, Curran declared a state of emergency in Nassau County. Pandemic and infectious disease preparedness is a part of training for many of Nassau County’s first responders. The Nassau County Fire Marshal’s office, working as both a hazardous materials response team and as the county fire coordinator, is able to assist and coordinate the 71 volunteer fire departments and six volunteer ambulance corps within Nassau County on responding to small local and large regional hazardous materials incidents, such as the coronavirus outbreak. Curran detailed the role and

capabilities of many specialty vehicles that first responders use to respond to

major outbreaks, including: • Seven hazmat vehicle that act as rolling warehouses of hazardous materials supplies and decontamination equipment to assist first responders in an outbreak situation. • A special operations vehicle that is stocked with equipment to assist firefighters, EMS and all first responders with large scale aid activations during complex emergencies. • An OEM command bus, which has the capability to communicate with residents and all levels of government and can facilitate all levels of government working together on coordinating responses in real time. • A major emergency response vehicle (MERV), which is fully stocked with medical supplies and equipment, is designed to respond and transport up to 18 patients at a time and can be used for on-site triage, EMS rehabilitation and medical support for long term incidents. “Nassau County is on the front lines of tacking the spread of the coronavirus, and in the event of a large-scale outbreak, our county is prepared to fight back with every emergency resource at our disposal,” Curran said. “Although the severity of any potential major outbreak or pandemic cannot be predicted, a planned and coordinated

response is critical to minimizing the public health impact, as well as social and economic disruption to our lives.” Protecting first responders and their families also contributes to the safety and security of a community during a major outbreak. As a component of the county’s critical infrastructure, emergency services play a vital role in responding to requests for assistance, triaging patients and providing emergency treatment. “EMS system responders are being advised to wear a mask, gloves and eye protection when examining and caring for patients with signs and symptoms of a respiratory infection,” Curran said. First responders have access to alternative and secondary telephone systems and radio frequencies, which can reduce the load on systems during the event of an emergency. “Communications is important to maintaining situational awareness and for effective EMS operations during a major outbreak or other public health emergency,” Curran said. “Nassau County’s first responders stand at the ready to assist the residents of Nassau County as we all work together to mitigate and respond to the spread of coronavirus.” —Submitted by the office of Nassau County Executive Laura Curran

ITALIAN

From Little Italy To Long Island Vincent’s Clam Bar stands the test of time BY JAMES MURPHY

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

For more than 125 years, Vincent’s Clam Bar has brought a vintage ItalianAmerican dining experience to Westbury. In the last seven years, it has been voted Long Island’s Best Italian Restaurant and Best Overall Restaurant, winning Best Calamari 10 years in a row.

he story of Vincent’s begins in 1894, when Giuseppe and Carmela Siano sold mussels, clams and scungilli out of a pushcart on the streets of Little Italy. Their business became so successful that they eventually moved to a storefront on the corner of Mott and Hester streets where the original store still stands. The two would name the store after their son, Vincent. Today, Vincent’s maintains that same focus. Vincent’s guarantees it’s fresher than any other seafood, especially when it comes to their clams. “Long Island has the best clams in the world. Period,” said Bobby Marisi, who has owned the restaurant for 37 years. “The clam that you eat here slept in the ocean last night.”

That focus on quality seafood is something Marisi believes separates them from the pack when it comes to other Italian restaurants. They also credit being able to derive from their history and prominence as an original Little Italy restaurant. “We’re deeply entrenched in preserving the Italian-American dining experience,” Marisi said over the phone as Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York” played in the background. The restaurant also prides itself on its different types of tomato sauce, which include its mild sauce, medium sauce and hot sauce. It stems from a recipe that goes back 120 years. “It is a thick, rich, slightly sweet Italian tomato sauce that contains no

basil, no garlic, no chunks, no green stuff,” Marisi said. When they’re not serving award-winning food, Vincents is giving back to the community. Perhaps most notable is the work with the Cornell Collective. “We’re part of a program that takes oyster and clam shells and reinstitutes them back into the bays on Long island to create artificial reefs

that can then be seeded by oysters and clams with the idea that the same oyster can filter 50 gallons of water a day,” Marisi said. The future looks exciting. New stores will open in New Jersey, Connecticut and Florida. “It’s just a great atmosphere,” Marisi said about the restaurant. “It’s a fun, festive, full of energy, throwback Italian restaurant.”

Sleek, Stylish, Savage And Sweet

Ford’s Ted Ryan stops by to discuss the world’s fastest pony BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

he’s a beauty. She’s fast. She’s the car every kid dreams of. That’s right. The Ford Mustang is sexy, intimidating and fast. But what makes it special? What are the ins and outs of this pony that make it a force to be reckoned with on the road? The Mustang, which debuted in 1962 as a concept, has gone through plenty of makeovers throughout the last 58 years. From its traditional American sports car look to a European appearance in the 1980s, the Mustang remains one of the most popular options for those who live, breathe and eat speed. As Ford continues to modernize its precious pony, its preparing to unleash the Mach-E, an all-electric version of this sports car. It will have the same gorgeous look that the gasoline-powered machine has, and it’ll be as efficient as ever before. And it will, of course, still have the iconic front grille that is synonymous with the Mustang brand. Ford Motor Company’s Ted Ryan, the Blue Oval’s archives and heritage brand manager, discussed his excitement about the future of the Mustang, what makes the pony unique and why it’s been the trend-setter for all sports car for more than half a century. Ryan, who previously served as Coca-Cola’s image historian for more than two decades, is now one a master archivist at Ford. How was the Mustang originally conceptualized? The Mustang was the result of the time and place. Take yourself back to the ’60s and the massive

Q A

The demand was so high that we had to build a third factory to meet the demand. To hit a million sales in the first year and a half is astounding the way it was embraced in the American public. You mentioned Shelby, and you certainly can’t talk about the Mustang without discussing Carol Shelby’s legacy with Ford. How did he help the Mustang brand grow? They reached a different audience. What Shelby did with the car—with an increased engine, the styling, the GT, the GT 350—he reached out to the enthusiasts that wanted a fast car. Ford was known for performance simultaneous to this by racing at Le Mans, winning at Daytona and winning in NASCAR. They called it the performance package. Shelby touched our audience that the standard Mustang wasn’t going to do it. It was appealing to a different audience than the original Mustang was. It widened the appeal of the Mustang to renew clout. There was a performance model of the Mustang with Carol Shelby’s fingerprints all over it, and he was a master. What specs does the Mustang have now compared to its competition? The Mustang, throughout the decades, appeals to each generation overtime because of A) the look, B) the performance and C) you’re buying into a lifestyle. You’re part of the Mustang culture. There’s nothing the competition can do to be part of the culture. When the Mustang was first created, did Ford realize a whole culture was being created? I 1,000 percent know it because Lee Iacocca essentially said that. They knew they were creating a new pony class of cars, and they knew it was appealing to the demographic they were after. What can people expect to see for the Mustang brand in the future? I think it will be refreshed over time. I don’t think they’ll ever do the massive change they did like the box body. I think every generation of Mustang will have the core elements that makes you know it’s a Mustang, whether it’s electric, hybrid or whatever powertrain is dropped into it.

Q A

Ted Ryan joined Ford Motor Company recently after working with Coca-Cola for more than 20 years. (Photo source: @TedRyan64 via Twitter changes that were taking place in America with a younger, better educated and more affluent demographic. The idea behind the Mustang was Ford looking at this new environment and testing different cars. There was a great speech given by Lee Iacocca at the time, looking at the market. They knew exactly what they wanted, so they started thinking of new concepts, like the Mustang I, which was a stylish and sporty two-seater. The Mustang II was a prototype that was popular on college campuses as well. They were getting the demographic they wanted with these cars as they unleashed these sleek, stylish, sporty cars with back seats. They brought in 50 families with two kids. They didn’t tell them anything about the car.

They told them what the price was, which at the time, was incredibly cheap. The 50 couples were hooked with it immediately and once they found out the price that they can rationalize why they should buy the car. How did the Mustang grow to become this traditional, American vehicle? The Mustang is considered part of the pony class, and it’s called the pony class because of the Mustang. It’s a small, stylish consumer or performance car. The beauty of the Mustang is that you could accessorize it however you wanted to. You could turn it into the full sports car or you can leave it with the main configuration package. It looks cool and it looks like a car you want to own. When you put a Shelby engine in it or some of the other things, you can make it look fast and stylish. With the initial 289 engine, it was a fun car to drive. Eighty-one percent of all cars were ordered with radios, so 19 percent didn’t have radios. From its time and place, plus the youthful market, it really took off.

By Elizabeth Johnson So many wonderful songs have been inspired by waterfronts including “Sitting on the Dock of the Bay,” by Otis Redding. The easy rhythm and flow of the water makes people want to come walk, dream and live the reality of the waterfront community on Manhasset Bay. The two-mile stretch of Bay Walk is lush and inviting and when you are sitting outdoors at Nikkei of Peru enjoying Asian Fusion, or dining at La Piccola Liguria to enjoy the Italian specialties, you feel as though you have been transported to a tropical paradise with an azure sea and yachts in the background. Simply, lifestyles of the rich and famous.

Bay Walk Park was a dream that began with a vision—a unique vision from some talented individuals. The land, which was once the site of an oil transfer station,took more than a decade to be transformed into the magnificent Bay Walk Park and Nautical Museum in the Incorporated Village of Port Washington North. It was formally

opened in July 2017. The project was so massive it had to be accomplished in two phases. The excitement shows in Mayor Bob Weitzner’s face every time he speaks 12 about the Bay Walk and the monumental effort that began in 2003 that made the dream a reality. “It’s amazing to think that 14 years ago, a Bay Walk Steering Committee was formed of government officials, stakeholders and residents of this wonderful hamlet to figure out what we could do with 1.5 acres of this wonderful property,” said Weitzner at the ribbon cutting. “Many said we would never get a consensus to make this happen, but they were wrong.

The Ford Mustang, which debuted as a concept in 1962 and on the road in 1964, is America’s favorite pony. This machine brought back its classic look recently. But before that, it went through a European phase in the 1970s through the 1980s. It didn’t look anything like a traditional Mustang. But that’s OK because the powers at be within Ford knew it was time to bring back their beloved Mustang. By the late 1990s, the Mustang was just as sleek as the original machines. While the Mustang’s grille and signature taillights, what’s not to love? As the Mustang enters the new era of electric vehicles, Ford will continue to make sure the Mustang doesn’t lose its special touch. And the traditional Mustang isn’t going anywhere as Ford will offer both options.

Inside 7 Gerard

Veteran chef John Brill promises a new and unique dining experience BY CYNDI ZAWESKI

czaweski@antonmediagroup.com

Locally sourced, internationally inspired cuisine is the concept behind the recently opened 7 Gerard in Huntington Village. Under the guidance of veteran Long Island chef John Brill, who has cooked beside top toques, including Bobby Flay, draws inspiration from Mediterranean and Asian cuisine, with a wealth of gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian selections. “We always try to use local seasonal ingredients,” Brill said. “Mother Nature will always produce the best and healthiest dishes. We are very lucky to have so many fresh vegetables grown locally here on Long Island.” Appetizers ($10 to $16) include 7G lettuce wraps with wok-seared chicken, shiitake mushrooms, sesame ginger sauce and water chestnuts; and vegetarian tacos with shredded pulled barbecued jackfruit. Much of the menu centers around a custom, six-foot mesquite wood-fired grill. The Simply Grilled section ($26 to $34) highlights the wood-fired grill entrees like ahi tuna, Faroe Island salmon, 12-ounce grass fed ribeye and ocean scallops. 7 Gerard also offers a Two Share section on its menu. The shareable starts ($12 to $18) include surf and turf sliders with angus beef. “Our eggplant meatballs with ricotta and oregano oil are very popular,” Brill said. “We also serve

espresso-crusted lamb loin, beef sliders topped with chopped sriracha tuna tartare and cucumber wasabi creme, and a selection of flatbreads including a wild mushroom option with coach farms goat cheese, white truffle oil, and crispy garlic.” A comprehensive sushi selection from sushi chef Chulo Choi, who hails to the restaurant from Cipriani, complements the menu. Guests can expect an array of original rolls, such as the 7G roll, a shrimp tempura roll topped with avocado, lobster meat, crunch and the chef’s special sauce. “We wanted to create a healthy, flavor-forward menu with plantbased proteins so we can offer our customers more creative dining options,” Brill said. “7 Gerard is a lifestyle choice—people will think of us when they want to eat healthy and dine stylishly.” Located at Joy Mangano’s former restaurants Porto Vivo and Jema, interior designer and restaurant co-owner Eileen Kathryn Boyd

reimagined the space for the casual American grill. Upon entering the three-tier eatery, its voluminous nature immediately scales down as cozy and inviting, as Boyd created several dining atmospheres throughout the restaurant. From convivial areas for large groups to cozy tables for two, there’s even a communal farm table with views of the kitchen. The main dining area exudes a modern industrial style with oversized studs mounted to black walls and metal-panned warehouse windows that let in natural light. The centerpiece in the foyer, a black and glass staircase, houses floor-to-ceiling commissioned artwork by Long Island abstract artist Diego Garcia. Upstairs the restaurant continues its nod to creatives, featuring abstract paintings by Manhattan artist Kerry Irvine, a

native of Huntington, and a gallery wall of black-and-white celebrity photos by the late famed fashion photographer Bill Cunningham. The space has a subterranean wine cellar that boasts a selection of fine wine, which complements its beverage menu that features cocktail concoctions using fresh ingredients. 7 Gerard is located at 7 Gerard St. in Huntington. It is open Tuesday through Sunday for dinner with the bar open until 1 a.m.

EVERYTHING’S BETTER with BACON Why the bacon trend will never end BY CYNDI ZAWESKI

czaweski@antonmediagroup.com

Bacon is the breakfast food that defies mealtimes. Smokey, salty, slightly sweet and crispy, in today’s bacon-obsessed foodie culture it is almost hard to imagine a time when Americans all but outlawed bacon for its high fat content. In the ’90s, low-calorie, low-fat defined dietary guidelines, but the advent of high-fat, low-carb diets brought bacon back into the mainstream. Some food historians give credit to Atkins, and more recently, Paleo and Keto make it acceptable to moderately indulge in strips of bacon as part of a regular eating plan.

hey didn’t have to tell us twice. The average American eats 18 pounds of bacon a year for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In fact, one poll indicated that 65 percent of Americans would support making bacon the official food of the United States. Bacon mania has led to the rise of some, um, interesting flavor combinations. Infiltrating bakeries in the form of bacon maple doughnuts and bars as candied bacon Bloody Marys. Bacon flavoring (with no actual bacon included) alone has become somewhat of a phenomenon. Take bacon beer, bacon lollipops, bacon cotton candy, bacon potato chips and bacon mustard. Some of the options are even vegan. Even as these products teeter the line between novelty and downright absurd (manufacturers

might have jumped the shark with bacon toothpaste), the trend is not sizzling out. Global bacon sales are forecasted to increase by 4.17 percent between 2019 and 2024, with North America continuing to hold on tight to its position as bacon’s largest market, according to the market research firm Mordor Intelligence. So while it may seem that our nation can’t love bacon more than they already do, it appears our hearts will grow fonder still. Perhaps it’s bacon’s versatility (and that it’s slightly sinful, nutritionally speaking) that gives it its added allure. Because innovative chefs have made it clear that bacon is as much an ingredient as it is a standalone food, here are a few out of the box ways to enjoy it to the fullest.

Mermaid Inn Opens In Chelsea This opening marks the fourth NYC expansion of the beloved seafood concept The Mermaid Inn opened in Chelsea earlier this month, bringing their beloved bivalves to the former home of New York’s celebrated restaurant, The Red Cat on Tenth Avenue. From owners Danny Abrams and Cindy Smith, the Chelsea outpost will offer the restaurant’s sought-after oyster happy hour, alongside an expansive raw bar and signature coastal favorites. The opening marks a homecoming for Abrams and executive chef Michael Cressotti. Abrams was the original co-owner of The Red Cat until 2007. “We are thrilled to open our doors in West Chelsea,” Smith said. “Our new space, which has been home to many different restaurants throughout the years, is a special one. Executive chef Michael Cressotti, part of The Mermaid team for almost a decade, continues to highlight the restaurant’s signature seafood staples with

flavor-forward preparations ranging from raw bar items to simply grilled fish and composed plates. Classic dishes like New England Clam Chowder with bacon and fingerling potatoes, Maryland Jumbo Lump Crab Cake with lemon pepper aioli, frisee and fresno chilis, Mermaid Fish Tacos with beer battered fish, red cabbage, pickled jalapenos and pico

de gallo and the “Nearly Famous” Lobster Roll on griddled brioche bun with old bay fries are offered alongside brand new dishes like Cioppino with clams, mussels, shrimp and saffron tomato broth, Blackened Chatham Cod with shrimp-andouille gumbo and basmati rice and Steamed Long Island Lil’ Neck Clams with fennel sausage, jersey tomato, scallion and focaccia. While seafood plays the leading role, several non-fish options bring variety and balance to the menu. To complement fish-forward offerings, Cressotti created dishes like Pan Roasted Free Range Chicken with broccoli rabe and lemon thyme jus, Shaved Kale Salad with house Caesar, garlic croutons and old bay chickpeas and Fire Roasted New York Strip Steak with crispy smashed potatoes, spring onions and salsa verde to add contrast and diversity to the dining experience. For the post-work crowd, The

With oysters from both the East and West Coast, the diverse menu covers all oyster preferences, from ultra-plump Kusshi to perfectly balanced Pink Moon, The Mermaid Inn has the oyster to satisfy every occasion and pair expertly with your favorite beverage of choice.

LOCALLY GROWN

Supporting Community Agriculture Get locally grown, fresh produce while helping LI farmers BY CYNDI ZAWESKI

czaweski@antonmediagroup.com

ubscription meal kits are all the rage for their convenience. But instead of going the big-box commercial route, there is another way to sign up to get fresh food that has a positive impact on the community. It’s called community supported agriculture or CSA. The cooperative model is a win-win for health-focused foodies and Long Island farmers. CSA members pay into a subscription, which guarantees easy access to locally grown, in season produce at a discounted price. The cost helps local growers sustain their operations year-round, especially in the winter when business is slow. CSAs also help connect communities with farmers. Here are a couple to check out. Golden Earthworm Organic Farm, Riverhead This 25-week CSA runs from June through November. Everything in the box is grown on the family operated farm in Riverhead and delivered for free within 24 hours of being harvested. The CSA is $25.80 per week. The produce is 100 percent certified organic. In season offerings include peppers, carrots, zucchini, blueberries and more. CSA

members also get special access to the farm for u-pick strawberries, farm tours and other exclusive events. Pick-up and delivery locations are: Floral Park, Glen Head, Great Neck, Hauppauge, Hicksville, Holbrook, Huntington, Jamesport, Massapequa, Massapequa Park, Medford, Port Jefferson, Port Washington, Ridge, Riverhead, Rockville Centre, Saint James, Sayville, Seaford, Setauket, Smithtown, Stony Brook, Syosset and Williston Park. Visit www.goldenearthworm.com to learn more. Restoration Farm, Old Bethpage The farm offers multiple short-term seasonal CSA options for summer, fall and winter. Its main season, 22-week subscription runs from June through October. The full share is $1,165 and a half share is $630 for the main season boxes. That price includes special farm events, such as pick-your-own herbs, berries and flowers. The difference between the shares is that full shares are picked up weekly and half shares are picked up every other week.

Island Harvest Receives Grant From Mother Cabrini Health Foundation

sland Harvest Food Bank announced it has been awarded a $140,000 grant from the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation in support of the hunger-relief organization’s Mobile Food Pantry. The funding will enable Island Harvest Food Bank to deliver direct services to enhance access to nutritious food and supportive services that address the social determinants of health and the needs of Long Islanders affected by hunger and poverty. Through the Mobile Food Pantry, low- to-moderate-income families, senior citizens, people with disabilities and veterans will have access to healthy foods that are low-sodium, low-sugar, low-fat and protein-rich, particularly for seniors on restricted diets and food to meet the nutritional needs of growing children. Healthy foods will be distributed directly at nine sites in areas of concentrated poverty across Nassau and Suffolk counties. The Mobile Food Pantry also offers

access to public benefits, referrals to community resources and direct assistance, such as health screenings, flu shots, nutritional health and more. Representatives from partnering organizations, as well as Island Harvest’s staff and specially-trained volunteers, will be on hand at the sites to provide these services. Island

Harvest’s registered dietitians will provide clients with nutrition education, cooking demonstrations and recipes relevant to the specific food distributed through a mobile pantry. “Thanks to the generosity of the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation, Island Harvest Food Bank can continue its mission of providing

healthier food choices and greater access to resources and services that help transition people facing hunger and poverty move from uncertainty to stability,” Island Harvest President Randi Shubin Dresner said. “The funding helps us to find ways to change the paradigm of addressing food insecurity by providing a more holistic approach that takes into account a variety of issues including overall health, access to fresh fruits and vegetables.” The Mother Cabrini Health Foundation provides grants to organizations to help improve the health and well-being of the most vulnerable people in communities across New York State. The foundation seeks to strengthen the health outcomes of diverse communities, remove barriers to care and bridge gaps in health services by sponsoring and supporting activities, programs and initiatives that enhance access to affordable quality healthcare and healthcare services. —Submitted by Island Harvest

Holiday Mathis HolidayMathis Mathis HOROSCOPESByByByHoliday HOROSCOPES

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direction but always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 15 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Do you believe that you have a gift to share with the world? It’s a big, bold thought that might feel strange to hold inside your brain, but the more you believe it, the more you will be able to follow through. Sharing the best of you can only happen if you keep striving for it and never quit. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If only you could tell yourself how to feel and then feel that way; life would be simple. Alas, feelings exist in the heart and “telling” is a function of language that lives in the neurological structures of the brain. Feelings will transform on their own, though don’t let that stop you from trying to guide them via suggestion. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are a treasure of kindness. As it can go with treasures, they are often hidden away for safekeeping or publicly shown after some form of protection has been put in place. Give a thought to what you might do to simultaneously give and preserve the brilliant value you offer the world. CANCER (June 22-July 22). To forgive might be too much for you to do right now. But what about a lesser kind of letting go? You hold a burden -- a tangled ball of feelings and grievances that you have every right to. Setting those down will not release another person of karmic debt, though it will certainly free up your hands and spirit to move on. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The tree wanders up and down simultaneously, roots finding the earth’s center, branches touching the sun. With every exploration, the tree grows stronger and more firmly in place. The bird wanders untethered, vulnerable and free. This week you’ll have a decision to make about which wandering is right for you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It is normal for brilliant minds to be afraid of success. Procrastination, overthinking, avoidant behaviors and self-medicating are some of the many forms of self-sabotage. Be vigilant in overriding your own antics so you can share the best and brightest parts of yourself with the world this week. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You love someone, and you want to do something very sweet and special for that person, but you’re not sure what. The money isn’t the important part. How well you know the other person and to what extent you’re willing to go to know what will delight this person -- that is what’s going to make an impression. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Those rich in qualities like compassion, humility, grace and patience hold themselves to high standards of character. They’ve judged themselves, identified as awful people and made corrections. The ones who have never thought of themselves as terrible? Watch out for them and their harmful delusions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The mind loves certainty and would rather take a known path (even if what it is known for is misery!) than any sort of unknown road. And so, a degree of risk will be necessary for good living. The care and training of your brain requires you to challenge your thinking. A higher part of you will take charge this week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Could you stare into your own eyes in the mirror, and profess love? Would you give yourself a pep talk or journal on your greatness? Be willing to try new things in the name of self-appreciation, as you’re going to need your own support this week. Find the exercise that’s fun to practice whilst solving the problem. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you feel helpless in your own situation, help someone else. This will give you the break from your own problems you need for a proper perspective shift. The reverse will also work. If you can’t figure out how to help someone else, then help yourself. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The concept of “fit” will apply to many of the week’s endeavors. When things don’t work, the first thing to check is the fit. It’s not about one person being wrong or the situation being wrong; it’s about moving and exploring to find a natural fit, or trimming, expanding and changing things until you create a good fit.

We are all interconnected, and you will draw much from that net of humanity this year, though another theme that will take precedence is this: A good life is impossible without a kind relationship with self. You are the one who has to hold you through your life -- from beginning to end. That’s a responsibility worthy of executing with style and compassion. All you do to actively develop self-love will pay off in the world, often amazingly. All relationships benefit, even on the level of business and finance.

Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)

When and Where to Seek Care NYU Langone experts want you to know how to stay healthy and when to seek medical care given the outbreak of COVID-19 in New York. If You Have Cold Symptoms For cold symptoms without a fever—runny nose, congestion, sore throat, minor aches and pains—consider staying home until you feel better.

Curran Closes County Schools

If You Have Flu-Like Symptoms For fever, headache, cough, muscle aches and joint pains—stay home and consult an NYU Langone provider remotely using Virtual Urgent Care.

BY MIKE ADAMS

madams@antonmediagroup.com

Same day Virtual Urgent Care appointments are available: 7am to 11pm Monday through Friday 8am to 8pm Saturday and Sunday Schedule an appointment using the NYU Langone Health app or by visiting nyulangone.org/virtualurgentcare

When to go to the Emergency Room If you have a fever and cough and difficulty breathing, it is important that you do not wait to get care. Call 911 or seek immediate medical attention at your nearest emergency room. Prevention is the Best Treatment These tips will help you stay healthy: • Avoid close contact with people who are sick. • Wash your hands frequently for at least 20 seconds using soap and water or use an alcohol-based handrub. • Always cover a sneeze or cough with a tissue or by using your arm. • Avoid touching your nose, mouth, and eyes without washing your hands first.

For more information about COVID-19, visit nyulangone.org/coronavirus or cdc.gov/coronavirus 215179 S

ll public and private schools in Nassau County will be closed for two weeks beginning Monday, March 16, as part of the county’s latest effort to help combat the spread of coronavirus. Nassau County Executive Laura Curran made the announcement at a press conference Sunday morning, signing an executive order to close all county schools after the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Nassau topped 90. “Nassau County will close all K-12 public and private schools for a two-week period starting Monday the 16th of March,” Curran said. “I want to be clear, I understand the gravity of this action and what it means to every community in our county.” School buildings in the county will be closed for instruction, but teachers and administrators may still use the facilities to help conduct distance-based learning. School buildings will also serve to help distribute grab-and-go lunches for students who currently qualify for free or reduced-price school lunches. The Nassau County Office of Emergency Management is setting up a special unit to help give out food. The county executive also said the county and state are developing plans to aid healthcare workers with children in Nassau schools, and working on developing “a proper waiver” for the requirement that children receive at least 180 days of school instruction in a school year.

Curran’s announcement that Nassau schools would close was soon followed by similar announcements from Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. Currently, every public and private school in Westchester County, Nassau County, Suffolk County and New York City has closed to help contain the spread of coronavirus, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo announced Sunday. In her announcement on Sunday, the county executive stressed the importance of residents and public officials taking every step possible to help “flatten the curve,” engaging in practices like social distancing and self-isolation where possible to limit the growth of new COVID-19 cases. Projections from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) predict that between 160 and 214 million people in the United States could contract COVID-19 if nothing is done to prevent its spread, between 200,000 and 1.7 million of those people could die. Curran called for county residents to remain resilient in a thread she posted on Twitter, likening the current crisis to the region’s response to 9/11. “It is moments of crisis like this that, like in the months after September 11th, we see what Americans—and especially New Yorkers—are made of,” Curran wrote. “We’re resilient. We step up in moments of crisis and put aside our differences to meet the moment. My message to everyone in Nassau County is this: We are in this together, and together we will get through this.”

MEMORIAM

The Law & Order Death Index

Dennis Farina

BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

Detective Joe Fontana

Running from 1990 to 2010, Law & Order boasted one of the longest tenures in television history. Here are several notable actors from that Dick Wolf production who have passed on.

Steven Hill

District Attorney Adam Schiff Hill (Feb. 24, 1922–Aug. 23, 2016) played the role—based on real-life Manhattan DA Robert Morgenthau—for 10 years (1990-2000). Hill was also one of the 50 orginal actors who were accepted at the legendary Actors Studio in NYC, along with Marlon Brando. A fixture during the so-called Golden Age of televison, Hill was cast as Dan Briggs, the original team leader on the series Mission: Impossible. A practicing Jew, his refusal to work on the Sabbath reportedly led to his dismissal. Hill took a 10-year break from acting starting in 1967.

He appeared in such 1980s films as Yentl, Legal Eagles and Heartburn.

Jerry Ohrbach

Detective Lenny Briscoe Born Jerome Bernard Orbach (Oct. 20, 1935–Dec. 28, 2004), he played the world-weary, wisecracking detective from 1992-2004. His character was named by TV Guide as one of the Top 25 TV detectives of all time. A star of musicals on Broadway, where he won a Tony, Orbach worked in movies and television later in his career, and was known for his versatility. The actor battled prostate cancer for more than a decade, and had begun work on a spinoff, Law & Order:

Dennis Farina as Detective Joe Fontana (Photo by NBC) Trial By Jury, when he died. He appeared posthumously in two episodes. Orbach has both a Broadway theater and a portion of 53rd Street near Eighth Avenue named after him.

Jerry Orbach as Detective Lennie Briscoe (Photo by NBC) had a long list of credits both in movies and TV. Thompson appeared in 116 episodes of Law & Order from 200-07 and a further 25 in three different spinoffs and a pilot. Thompson was conservative in his politics and Fred Thompson so was his character, a foil to District Attorney liberal assistant DAs such as Arthur Branch Sam Waterston’s Jack McCoy. The baritone voiced Thompson was in his final Thompson (Aug. 19, 1942– months of his term as retiring Nov. 1, 2015) was a U.S. senator senator when he began from Tennessee (1994-2003) appearing on the series in and a 2008 Republican pres2002—the only pol to play idential contender. His other someone other than himself career was in acting, where he on a series.

Playing law enforcement figures was second nature for Farina (Feb. 29, 1944– July 22, 2013), who spent 18 years on the Chicago police force. A stint as consultant to director Michael Mann led to a second career on the screen. He acted in more than three dozen movies and an even longer list of TV shows. Along with two seasons on the groundbreaking ’80s series Crime Story, Farina’s Fontana was his other major recurring role, with 46 episodes. Fontana’s background echoes Farina’s in numerous ways. The character stood out by wearing expensive clothes and driving a Mercedes Benz. Farina’s final television appearance was playing himself on the cartoon series Family Guy.

To Protect And Serve Some of the best episodes of the franchise

BY CAROLINE RYAN AND ANTHONY MURRAY editorial@antonmediagroup.com

The Law & Order franchise has delivered some unforgettable episodes over the past 20-something years that has graced our television screens. With an almost combined total of 1,125 episodes to sort through, here are just some of the best episodes that Law & Order has served.

Law & Order

Airing its entire run on NBC, Law & Order premiered on Sept. 13, 1990 and completed its 20th and final season on May 24, 2010. Law & Order was NBC’s longest running crime drama, which tied for the longest running primetime scripted drama with Gunsmoke, airing 456 episodes.

“Bad Faith” (S5E20)

This episode was ripped from the headlines, an investigation into a police officers death uncovers 30-year old accusations of molestation by a Catholic priest. Detective Mike Logan takes special interest in the case because of his close relationships with the police officers and the church.

“Pro Se” (S6E21)

A schizophrenic attorney refuses to take medication and ultimately decided to defend himself after he is accused of committing murder. This episode really channels the idea of mental health and the discussion on whether we should be forcing medication to those who are mentally ill.

Law & Order: Criminal Intent

Law & Order: SVU

A journalist’s suicide becomes an investigation after detectives Green and Fontana find evidence that it may not have been a suicide at all. This episode toys with the idea of assisted suicide, a topic that has been largely discussed throughout the years.

Law & Order: Criminal Intent premiered on Sept. 30, 2001 on NBC for six seasons. Seven seven through 10 premiered on USA Network and ended its run on June 26, 2011. Law & Order: Criminal Intent aired 195 episodes during its run.

“A Person of Interest” (S2E23)

In the season two finale, detectives Robert Goren and Alexandra Eames investigate the murder of a former nurse when they discover a possible anthrax terrorist plot. The case takes a turn for the worse when Goren is blamed for driving a suspect to commit suicide. Now disgraced, Goren learns that a cunning adversary from his past former rival Elizabeth Hitchens, may be involved.

“The Third Horseman” (S1E11)
