Warrior On The Field, Yankee For Life BY JOSEPH CATRONE

JCATRONE@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

t’s been 16 years since Paul O’Neill last appeared in a major league game, yet he never truly left baseball. The ex-Yankees right fielder has remained a fan and ambassador of the game well into his retirement, and recently helped a Glen Cove family live out a dream through Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG) Moments Master Class, a loyalty program from Marriott International. The event, held at Macombs Dam Park where the old Yankees Stadium used to be, saw SPG winner Patrick Annello’s two sons and their

seven friends learn baseball fundamentals from O’Neill and compete with the Yankees legend in a home run hitting contest. O’Neill, for his part, relished the opportunity to inspire the young athletes in their baseball endeavors. “It’s been a while, it doesn’t feel like it used to,” joked O’Neill, who used a plastic bat in the home run contest to level the playing field. “But it’s a great day. You look at the excitement on these kids’ faces, being able to come out here and run around, it’s a great event. It brings back a lot of memories because everyone had their Little League careers. You do start at a young age, and baseball’s a game you kind of live with.” O’Neill understands that last point as well as anyone; he’s remained a popular figure in the Yankees’ inner circle, delighting fans with his yearly Old-Timers’ Day appearances and his long-running stint as a color commentator for the YES Network, which has allowed him to keep close tabs on his old team as it’s evolved through the years. “The Yankees have been so good to me. [Broadcasting] has kept me somewhat involved with the organization. I do enjoy it, and now that the team has totally changed, I probably enjoy it more, because you have a different viewpoint,” O’Neill said, adding that, though he was somewhat surprised by the Yankees’ success this season, he’s found common ground between the current squad and his dynasty-era teams. “They did turn the corner quick, maybe [like in] ’96, because they kind of came from nowhere. But you also see the parallels of this happening for years to come, because of the youth and because of what the organization has done.” Since hanging up his cleats in 2001, O’Neill, from his perch in the broadcast booth, has witnessed the rise of baseball analytics, an increase in infield shifts and, especially over the last few seasons, a more specialized, matchup-driven approach to pitching that favors teams with deep bullpens. O’Neill admits that the game’s evolution may make the extraordinary

success of his Yankees teams hard to imagine today—since his retirement, no team has won back-to back championships, let alone three straight—which makes him appreciate his days in pinstripes that much more. “You never know when you have that kind of magic team. Looking back we kind of took it for granted, but it was a special time,” O’Neill said. “Will you get back [to that success], we don’t know, but you do have an opportunity with the way this team is built, with youth. They’re good, and it’s fun to be a Yankees fan [right now]. I just look back at how lucky we were to win in New York. The New York fans have been unbelievable to me, so I’ve got to be happy with that.”

FLAY DINING

Bobby’s Burger Palace ‘Crunchified’ Brunch burger (Photos by Steve Mosco)

For All BY STEVE MOSCO

SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

hen Bobby’s Burger Palace first arrived out east on Long Island, the burger craze had just begun to form into a recognizable patty. Now, about 10 years later, eateries specializing in fresh takes on the hamburger are a common bite on the island’s menu. But as burger joints have come and gone, Bobby’s Burger Palace—the brainchild of chef Bobby Flay—remains, even opening a second Long Island location in 2011 at Roosevelt Field Mall. The burger joint’s

westernmost island spot continues to take the fast-casual concept to a gourmet degree—with unique twists on cooked-to-order burgers toppling over with ingredients that span the country’s diverse flavor palate and clearly demonstrate Flay’s coast-tocoast travels, along with his well-publicized love of the grill. After choosing a protein (certified angus beef, ground turkey or chicken breast), customers choose a preparation that ranges from a classic cheeseburger to a potato chip-topped Crunchburger to a Brunch burger with a fried egg and bacon. Flay’s creativity then shines through with the continental offerings—the L.A.,

with avocado relish, watercress, cheddar cheese and tomato; Dallas, a spice-crusted burger with Monterey Jack cheese, coleslaw, pickles and barbecue sauce; Carolina, with smoked American cheese, green onion slaw and mustard barbecue sauce; the Philly, with provolone cheese, griddled onions and hot peppers; New Mexico, with queso sauce, roasted green chiles and pickled red onions; and the

Miami, a take on the classic Cubano, pressed with ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard and mayo. Having the turkey and chicken options are a good business decision, but as each burger is cooked to order, clearly beef is king at Bobby’s. Flay is culinarily tied to the American southwest, so it is no

When we built our Orthopedic department, we started at the top. We brought together some of the best doctors on Long Island. They’re why we’re at the forefront of joint replacement surgery. They’re why we perform over 3,000 orthopedic procedures a year. They’re why we are rated high performing by U.S.News & World Report and why we were named one of the top orthopedic hospitals in the country by Becker’s Hospital Review. With leading edge technology, our joint replacement surgeons are experts in minimally invasive techniques for hip, knee, shoulder, ankle and elbow replacement. We’re adept at adult reconstructive surgery, revision joint replacement and trauma. Our fellowship-trained spinal surgeons add a dimension to our department that few enjoy. So when you need orthopedic care, do what we did. Go with the best.

Adventures

In Technology

Long-running STEM event brings students together In recent years the term STEM, referring to the application of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math concepts, has grown increasingly popular in academic circles. But did you know that our own Adventureland amusement park hosts one of the oldest and best STEM events in the nation? Orchestrated by the Long

Island Technology & Engineering Education Association (LITEEA) since 2001, Technology Day is attended by more than 2,200 middle school students from public, private and Catholic schools. Split into two days to accommodate the crowd, the STEM event, which began in 2001, returned to Adventureland recently for a mix of fun and work. The event, attended by students from 40 schools, 34 of them Catholic, is an outdoor classroom

where students get to ride the rides, but then have to complete a workbook that connects the concepts they are learning in school to the mechanics, design, operation or ergonomics of the rides at the park. “Our goal has always been to keep the middle school students in our schools on the leading edge of technology and science,” said Emily Guarnieri, director of technology for the Department of Education from the Diocese of Rockville Centre. “This event uses the amusement park rides to illustrate the practical application of many complex concepts that our students are introduced to in class.” Introduced in 2001 by Joe Fili, a retired teacher and an officer of LITEEA, the event has come into its own in recent years as the concept of STEM education has taken hold. “The teachers whose classes participate come to a workshop the week before the event where they are introduced to 13 teaching concepts that are illustrated by the rides.” said Fili, one of the founders of Technology Day. “They choose the four or five rides that best align with their classroom curriculum and create a custom workbook that their students complete during the day. It is quite an unusual sight to see and hear the squeals of delight of the students on the rides as you are standing in the middle of groups of students working to complete their workbooks.” As the park cleared out from another successful Technology Day, Fili and Guarniei have already begun the discussion on what new concepts could be added for next year to continue to highlight the intersection of educational concepts and practical, real-world applications.

The outdoor classroom was a real scream for students.

Students from across Long Island joined Technology Day at Adventureland.

Students studied the mathematics behind amusement park rides.

Lynn Dixon, Kim O’Kane and Jess Green Among the many silent auction items were paintings by Christine D’Addario, Mercedes Dorson and Tjasa Owen, a cashmere wrap from Hermes, scarf from Leggiadro, cashmere ruana from Brooks Brothers along with gifts from J. McLaughln, Lily Pulitzer, and gift certificates for

dinners and other cool experiences. Following the dinner catered by Sterling Affair, was the live auction with Fred Bancroft as auctioneer. Among the many live auction prizes was a sturdy French-styled playhouse decorated by Tom Samet and Nathan Wold, the Bourbon Bucket List, a

Fred and Suzy Bancroft private hockey lesson with Mark Messier, a winemaker’s weekend tour of Sonoma County, a golf package at Kiawah Island Club, a shopping spree at Americana Manhasset with 24-hour Tesla experience, and a trip to the Six Senses Resort in the Douro Valley of Portugal and JW Marriot in Venice.

“Open Spaces, Starry Nights” was the theme of the North Shore Land Alliance’s 14th annual Wine and Spirits Auction and Dinner Dance held at its new office location at Planting Fields Arboretum. The “Starry Night” theme became apparent as evening set in. Exterior trees were up lit with twinkling lights, the cocktail tent was decorated in the colors of sunset with night following in the dinner tent complete with a full moon and shooting stars. The theme was symbolic of how saving open land reduces light pollution and allows us to continue to experience starlit nights here on Long Island’s north shore. The Wine Auction, chaired by Lynn and Brooke Dixon and Jess and Jon Green, with junior committee chairs, Kimberly and John O’Kane, featured a live and silent auction and Wall of Wine raffle with 50 bottles of premium wine ranked 90-plus by Robert Parker.

ANTON ELECTION COVERAGE

Con-Con: Pros And Con

BY FRANK RIZZO

FriZZo@antonmediagroup.com

The most important–and yet most obscure—statewide vote on the ballot this Election Day involves the Constitutional Convention, or Con-Con. The New York State Constitution requires that every 20 years the voters must decide if a convention should be held to consider amending the existing foundational document. Earlier this decade, an advocacy group called the New York Legislature the most dysfunctional in the United States. To proponents, a con-con would be a way to bypass the often obstructionist legislature and entrenched elected officials, notorious for being unfavorable toward perceived common sense proposals that threaten their status quo. If the people say yes to Proposition 1 on the 2017 ballot, there will begin a year-long process to nominate and

elect convention delegates. That election will take place November 2018 and the convention itself would begin in April 2019. There will be three delegates each from the 63 senatorial districts, plus 15 chosen at-large from across the state. Changes proposed by the convention will then be presented to the voters. Conventions are rare; the last one took place in 1967. According to former New York State Assemblyman Jerry Kremer, whose Empire Government Strategies has published a book about state conventions, their history “is full of cronyism, runaway costs and questionable ethics....previous conventions produced few results and served as little more than duplicate legislative sessions, dominated by the same insiders, special interests and sitting lawmakers themselves.” Unions also seem to be lining up against the con-con. A convention, said John Duffy,

treasurer and business manager of Farmingdale-based Local 138 of the International Union of Operating Engineers, would see “virtually every program, benefit, law, government authority and regulatory oversight... put into play, subject to lobbyists, special interest groups and political contributors with bottomless pockets. Our union local will aggressively campaign against that proposal.” Duffy added, “As union members we have a range of safeguards and protections embedded in our state constitution that protects the very heart and soul of collective bargaining along with our private and public pensions, the prevailing wage, workmen’s compensation, and more. And all of it could be taken away, amended or deleted by Constitutional Convention delegates who will be answerable to no one.” Proponents call such talk fearmongering. They point out that most

people support such union-won rights, and would vote against any attempts to decimate them. The con-con idea is supported by the Sanctuary State Project, an all-volunteer group of civic activists. It believes a convention would heavily favor progressive interests and “represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to win victories on voting rights, women’s rights, immigrant rights and other crucial progressive issues.” Others in support of a convention want campaign finance and ethics reform, fair redistricting and term limits. Art Chang, a member of the Sanctuary State Project, said, “One goal of a progressive constitutional convention would be to enact a statewide public campaign finance system that empowers political challengers to have a real shot at matching the fundraising power of politically entrenched incumbents.”

In The Company Of Oneself In New York it is illegal to use a hand-held cellphone while driving. Although drivers have the option to use hands-free devices, studies show that talking or texting on any cellphone while driving is so mentally distracting as to suggest it is a serious safety hazard. Nevertheless, not a day goes by that I do not see drivers talking on both hand-held and hands-free devices. Safety aside, what does all this chatter in the car portend about one’s ability to be alone? More than 50 years ago Clark Moustakas, a psychologist and the author of the existential study Loneliness, wrote, “Being alone, for me, usually means an opportunity to think, imagine, plan. I choose to be alone because I desire to be quiet for awhile to consider aspects of my life. It is usually a tranquil time of self-expression and self-renewal.” Can you remember a time when a solitary ride in the car offered such an opportunity, to simply be alone with your thoughts, feelings and sensations—maybe with your favorite soundtrack playing in the background? We now live in an era when, because we are plugged in 24-7, the simple pleasure of being alone is something that we avoid. For many people, young and old, aloneness is a source of discontent. Why? Are we afraid that it might lead to loneliness? Loneliness is not just about a lack of companionship but an inner sense of being alone, regardless of the external circumstances—of feeling lonely even when with friends or family. I believe that the recent popularity of mindfulness—a mental state achieved by directing one’s awareness on the present moment, while calmly noticing and accepting one’s feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations—is a counterforce to the busy-ness of our perpetually plugged-in lives. As if to foreshadow the current era of mindfulness, Moustakas said, “Loneliness anxiety is a widespread condition in contemporary society. The individual no longer has an intimate sense of relatedness to the food he eats, the clothing he wears, the shelter which houses him.” According to Maria Gonzalez, an author and corporate executive whose most recent book is Mindful Leadership, 9 Ways to Self-¬Awareness, Transforming Yourself, and Inspiring Others, “The daily commute is a great opportunity to train the mind.” She recommends practicing simple techniques, repeatedly, to train the mind in three areas: 1. To be more focused and better able to concentrate;

PARENTHOOD PLUS Andrew Malekoff

2. To experience more clarity in our thinking and decision-making; and 3. To approach all of life with a sense of balance, whereby we can “go with

the flow” when a situation cannot be changed in the moment. “The idea,” Gonzalez says, “is that you are continuously aware of three things: your body, what you see and what you hear. This is what it is to be mindfully present as you drive. Do your best to stay present for the entire commute.” Although it seems elementary, it’s not as easy it sounds. As your mind wanders you may have the impulse to check your phone, or give in to some other distraction. When that happens,

intentionally pull yourself back. Like all things worth mastering, being mindful takes practice. As you do this you are preparing yourself to be present, to be at ease in your own company and, at the same time, you’re making the road a safer place for us all.

ANTON ELECTION COVERAGE - County Executive

Curran Rails Against Corruption

Martins Touts Experience

BY FRANK RIZZO

BY JOSEPH CATRONE

FriZZo@antonmediagroup.com

Jcatrone@antonmediagroup.com

For Laura Curran, a term on the Baldwin School District Board of Education whetted her desire to further serve her community. Twice elected to the Nassau County Legislature, Curran touted her ability to work across party lines. The Democratic candidate for Nassau County Executive will face Jack Martins this Election Day. In September, she handily defeated Nassau County Comptroller George Maragos in the primary. Both opponents have criticized her lack of experience, but she brushed this aside. “I would say I have the right kind of experience,” she affirmed. “I’m not the product of the machine and this failed, broken system. But I’ve been there long enough to know what’s working and what’s not working. I think my four years in the legislature has given me incredible insight and exactly the right kind of experience.” She added, “It’s been really disturbing to sit there and watch the corruption and the mismanagement and dysfunction.” Regarding the county’s $3 billion 2018 budget, Curran said her biggest complaint was with the fees outgoing County Executive Ed Mangano has proposed, noting that together they added up to more than the tax cap would be. Opposed to any tax hikes, Curran believes limiting overtime costs and fees paid to outside consultants would help control expenses. She also hopes to stop the practice of borrowing money to turn what would be deficits into surpluses. “We need to look line-by-line through the budget to make sure every penny is being spent appropriately,” she said. As far as ethics, she wants to introduce term limits and an inspector general, and strengthen the existing anti-nepotism regulations as well as the ethics board, which she finds lacking. Regarding the assessment system, Curran said bluntly that it’s broken,

With the Nov. 7 Nassau County Executive election fast approaching, and a change in regime in store in the wake of the controversial Ed Mangano administration, Republican candidate Jack Martins recently partook in a roundtable discussion with Anton Media Group in which he laid out his campaign’s main platforms. Among the issues Martins hopes to address if elected are ethics reform, jobs, finances and the county’s opioid epidemic, which Martins outlined as a “catastrophic” problem that’s “decimating an entire generation.” He proposed utilizing one of the two vacant floors in Nassau Medical Center as a long-term and short-term treatment facility for addiction, feeling that the apparent lack of similar facilities in the county has made counteracting the epidemic all the more difficult. “We need to put people on the path to sobriety,” Martins said. “We all understand what the challenges are in our suburban communities; no one wants to have a rehab center in their backyard. Let’s go find a place where we already have space.” Martins also expressed confidence in his ability to craft a budget, citing his past experiences in Albany as well as his understanding of certain problem areas in the county’s budget, particularly the issue of overtime payments. He suggested the county add “more personnel to do the baseline work that avoids you having to pay people time-and-a-half.” “You look at things like overtime and you have a budget that has $1 billion in payroll, about $400 million in benefits that are tied to that payroll, but yet the overtime is about $125 million,” Martins said. “Put that into context [with] most municipalities, you’re looking at a ratio of about 3-4 percent. We know that overtime is necessary for emergencies, but it cannot be used for actual, regular operations.” In explaining his refusal to meet with current Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano regarding the next budget, Martins reasoned, “this will be my

and blamed the lack of a credited assessor to lead the department, whose staff has been cut. It was a problem she felt can be fixed. As to Martins’ idea to turn assessment over to the three townships, Curran said Mangano proposed it, and it was rejected. Curran believes that the county’s Industrial Development Agency (IDA) is a key element of bringing businesses and jobs to the county, but has concerns over some of the agency’s decisions. “Let’s make sure that we do good, muscular deals, and if [the promised jobs] do not materialize, we have to find a way to get that money back,” she said. She also believes the IDA is crucial to build multi-unit housing, though would like to see more affordable units erected. “We need a vision of how to grow our tax base, and how to keep our young people here,” Curran said. “We have an opportunity to rebrand Nassau as a vibrant place to live, to raise a family and to bring your business. But we have to do [these things] now.” Curran said that local government affects people’s lives much more directly than the federal government, and it’s sad “that people just don’t vote in these local elections. My argument with them is, ‘with the corruption and mismanagement, now is the time to vote.’ Whether for me or my opponent, vote—so we will be held accountable.”

budget.” However, he acknowledged that the presence of NIFA created complications and restraints in the process, and outlined his desire to get the county out from under NIFA’s control. “It’s shameful. The fact that we haven’t had the ability under both democrats and republicans to deal with this issue, we’re better than that,” Martins said. “The ability to pay our bills and find those efficiencies is important. I’ve made that commitment. I’ve told people we would have NIFA out in two years. That’s the goal.” Martins also blamed the county’s dependence on NIFA for the fact that Nassau currently has no Fortune 500 companies. Furthermore, he noted that Nassau is one of only two New York counties to use a county-wide, rather than town-based, assessment system, which he believes may be something to reevaluate. “There are more challenges to the assessment system in Nassau County then the rest of the state combined,” Martins said. “Maybe it isn’t the effort that’s lacking. Maybe it’s the fact that we have a different model and we have to look at what the better model is out there.” Martins summed up his vision for the county by stating, “If you’re going to complain about something, you’d better be prepared to do something about it, and if you can, it’s your responsibility to do so. I can, I have and I’m running.”

Hilton Head Island

The Hamptons of the South BY JENNIFER FAUCI JFauci@antonmediagroup.com

The drive to Hilton Head Island in South Carolina is met with empty highways and dozens of resorts peeking out from behind palm tree-lined streets. The scenic route is about a 45-minute drive from Savannah Airport in Georgia. Hilton Head Island is named so after Captain William Hilton, who identified a headland near the entrance to Port Royal Sound in 1663 and named it “Hilton’s Head” after himself. Located in the Lowcountry in the town of Beaufort County, the island is immensely popular during the spring and summer months for vacationing families. Known for its beautiful beaches and golf courses as well as the iconic Harbour Town Lighthouse and Museum, which stands proud at the southwest tip, Travel and Leisure magazine recently named Hilton Head Island the best island in the continental U.S. With 39,000 permanent

residents and 2.9 million visitors a year, Hilton Head is a quiet, but busy place. Golf is huge, especially in the winter, when snowbirds from the north come down south for some warmth. “There isn’t anything you can’t do in the summer that you can’t do in the fall,” said Charlie Clark, vice president of communications for HHI Chamber of Commerce of Hilton Head Island. “South Carolina is in the high 60s in the fall and winter and everything is open year-round. The best-kept secret in South Carolina is the shoulder season.” Clark said that although golf is very popular, it’s not what South Carolina is known for.

“We have about 200 restaurants on the island, which is about the size of Manhattan,” she said, adding that the Harbour Town Lighthouse and Sea Pines Forest Preserve are popular daytime activities while the Barmuda Triangle is great for night life. For our trip (I traveled with my husband), we spent four days on the island and were accommodated by the beautiful Sonesta Resort. Chloe Bradley, the assistant guest services manager, greeted us with a tote bag of the island’s publications and fresh lemon water, the beginning of a lovely experience where guests are the number one priority.

Upon arriving at the resort, a relaxing massage at Arum Spa is a must, and if you have some time, a lavender foot soak with a warm neck towel is perfect for waking up your muscles. Among dining on delicious coastal cuisine, a round of 18 holes of golf at Robert Trent Jones Course in Palmetto Dunes, a dolphin-watching tour and a peaceful hike through Sea Pines Forest Preserve, we soon found that Hilton Head has so much more to offer than just beaches and palm trees.

The marina cove has plenty of places to dine and shop including Land’s End Tavern, The Wreck of the Salty Dog and Jake’s Pizza.

This 605-acre nature preserve is truly one of the island’s hidden gems. Visitors can enjoy hiking, fishing, picnicking and wildlife viewing opportunities (don’t forget the alligators in the lake) throughout the preserve. While some visitors go with a mission in mind, like a scenic ride down the rice dike or a walk along the wildflower fields, it is encouraged that you get lost in nature. Don’t worry, you’ll stumble upon a trail and find your way back eventually. Check out 4,000 year old Indian Shell Ring, which is listed on the

The Baynard house was built by Captain Jack Stoney around 1793 and became the pre-Civil war home of cotton planter William Edings Baynard. Known as Baynard Ruins, both houses have been preserved and are currently listed on the National

Register of Historic Sites. Originally built of timber and tabby, a mixture of oyster shells, lime, and sand, visitors can still see the remnants of oyster shells in the foundation of the house. This activity is a quick one, but definitely worth it to see some of Hilton Head’s history. As with any ruins, numerous ghost stories and reports of paranormal activity have been said to surround the area. Dolphin Watching 149 Lighthouse Rd.

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND Earning a Living

ARIES (March 21-April 19). To a child, the cash machine seems to be giving out money, whereas the bank account holder has the experience of accessing what is already owned. You’ll be trying to solve a problem this week. Observe it from your position and theirs, too. This is how you’ll get to the truth of the situation.

Solution: 27 Letters

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People tell you that you seem very grounded, and indeed you are one of the more centered and rooted people around. When the others are spinning out, they can and will hold onto you, and this will help them a great deal while hardly having an effect on you, because you’re so solid in your own being these days. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It took years of conditioning to be able to pull off what you do on a daily basis. You’ll be looking around for someone who can relate to what you’re going through. It won’t be easy. It won’t be a perfect fit. But there are people out there who will resonate with your joys and struggles, and you’ll find them this week. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your life is a creative work. You’re making it up as you go. What’s needed now is an innovation. That’s why this week is not a time to accept and act on input that seems overly familiar or secondhand: That will only lead to what you already know. Reach for the novelty. Also, be willing to mix and match.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Usually you are most comfortable in your own home and space. However, these days you’re likely to discover environments that inspire you toward a new idea of what does, will and might make you more at peace in your own place. Right now you’re just trying things out, but you’ll soon be making upgrades. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The praise and the criticism are not to be taken personally. Whether wonderful or terrible to hear, it’s invalid. They don’t know you well enough to make a determination. Anyway, their determination doesn’t matter. They only know what they assume and project. Work independent of external motivation. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You know that there are powerful agents at work in the world, agents that can transform, heal or destroy. So in a sense, you believe in magic, and that will definitely be a part of your story this week. Another significant element -- sometimes your belief is the magic. Your expectation will absolutely change the outcome. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Go easy. There’s a fight that probably doesn’t have to involve you. Anyway, most fighters would agree, it’s best not to fight. Of course, if you must fight, be smart, commit and follow through. Love won’t follow the same rules, by the way. You can love a little or a lot: Any amount will improve your world. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). What you do makes sense to you. You’ve been developing these patterns of you-ness for years, and mostly unconsciously, as an automatic response to your world. Nonetheless, when someone else looks on the effect is nothing short of breathtaking. They’ll call you “magic,” and maybe you are. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your superior intelligence allows you to turn things over and over in your mind, finding new angles and depths as you go. It’s not always what’s needed, though. Choose your mental battles this week. Above all, don’t agonize. But if you do find yourself agonizing, keep working through it. It won’t last. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There are few things more abhorrent and indefensible than the abuse of power, and yet humans seem particularly corruptible in this regard. You’ll have a greater degree of power to wield this week, and you’ll be mindful of how to handle it, especially given the terrible pitfalls you’ve witnessed others experience.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

It’s been suggested that no one believes in people who don’t believe in themselves. However, you’ve been known to spot talent in others that they themselves don’t yet recognize. In fact, it’s a specialty of yours in the months to come, and you’ll change other people’s lives and greatly improve your own by employing it. The memories you make in 2018 will become family stories and could even make you famous. A fantastic reunion is featured. You’ll add skills and credits to your resume, too.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Remember when you got the overpriced menu and felt you had to be very careful to order the least expensive thing? The feeling comes up in this week’s situation (probably having nothing to do with eating). The best thing to do very well may be to make a bold move. Get up and leave the “restaurant.”

Draw The Line At Ingesting Toxins In November 1968, the government of Nassau County invited the local media to Eisenhower Park to show off another money and time-saving innovation. Strapped to the back of a Department of Public Works staffer was a gas-powered, two-stroke engine leaf blower, and he proceeded to clear an acre of leaves. It was likely the first time the reporters had seen one. The reports raved. I wonder if they clapped and took turns. For years, no single issue has generated such consistent, broadbased, often-emotional support readers than restricting gas-powered leaf blowers (GPBs). These essays exist partly to signal to local decision-makers that certain subjects are now safe for consideration and public discussion. I am talking to all of you like a Dutch uncle: This is safe. And in the past few years, this game has changed in very important ways. This used to be mostly about noise, a whine which most find jarring and from which mothers with babies, seniors and the disabled can’t easily escape. That was bad enough. Now it’s about swallowing doodoo. Animal feces. And fur, tiny pebbles, dust, pollen and anything else that these devices launch at high speed into the air where it is suspended and slowly sinks to a neighbor’s lawn, car, porch, window and exposed personal orifice. Inefficient two-stroke engines spew out a cloud of raw carbon monoxide, nitrous oxides and other carcinogenic hydrocarbons. The smell can last for a couple of hours. Last year, the Medical Society of the State of New York (MSSNY), which is based right here in Nassau County, passed a strongly-worded resolution urging the state and GPB manufacturers to develop new guidelines for how these machines are used, with an emphasis on “dramatically” reducing toxic emissions and the use of non polluting alternatives. We know so much more than we used to about the dangers of swallowing and breathing fine particulate matter to the lungs, heart and other organs. We know more about allergies and asthma, especially in children. Within a decade, most Americans

VIEWPOINT Michael A. Miller

will be independent workers, many working from home. This isn’t going away. It’s going to build. You don’t need GPBs to push leaves a few feet on a typical 50 by 100 foot property. Changing gardeners won’t solve the problem. Neighbors have to be on the same page. The efforts of some public officials to negotiate a compromise, such as we saw this year in Hempstead and North Hempstead, are appreciated but seem to miss a point. These proposals merely extended the hours blowers are restricted. The noise is no longer the main issue for many. Southampton’s creation of an official “Green Zone” banning blowers in an East Quogue park is a better model. Super-hot suburb Maplewood, NJ, (dubbed “Brooklyn West” by realtors and the Times) voted for quality of life by shutting down GPBs from May 15 to September 15. Twenty years ago, some landscapers were willing to discuss compromises on this issue, such as slow phase-in of a ban. Now the denial seems more aggressive. With the economy changing again and more competition than ever, they are feeling the pressure to cut corners. Real-life experimentation shows that claimed hardships of switching to safer, quieter equipment aren’t so hard. I’m sorry, but any business which relies on making people sick or ruining the quality of suburban life shouldn’t get to call the shots. Many officials fear the landscapers, who demonstrate that they are well-organized. The rest of us have to assure our representatives that they are on safe ground, that they will be protected and cherished if they do what is right.

From left: A “topless” New Mexico style turkey burger, Chopped Crunch salad and Bacon Cheese Fries

FLAY from page 4A surprise that his New Mexico burger brings some of the eatery’s most striking flavors. The spicy green chiles immediately perk the taste buds before the pickled red onions offer relief with their own dynamic bite, while the queso sauce folds it all together. The Brunch burger, which is basically the classic BEC (bacon, egg and cheese) sandwich with a burger added for good measure, is an instant hit for anyone who desires a little runny-yolk love with their patty. The Miami burger cleverly twists the Cubano pressed sandwich, with smoky ham and mild Swiss proving a delicate match for beef’s assertive flavor. Both burgers are great

“Crunchified”—the free option of adding potato chips, which is available for all Bobby’s burgers. Meanwhile, classic burger sides go well beyond limp French fries, with the hand-cut variety bringing a crisp exterior giving way to an almost creamy potato interior. And if you can’t choose between classic fries, sweet potato fries and the outstanding buttermilk onion rings, Bobby’s lets you order any two with the Undecided option. Cheese fries and bacon cheese fries are also viable options that could be meals on their own. What’s a burger without a shake? Instead of learning the answer to that question, order one of Bobby’s shakes from vanilla bean to black and white to pistachio and more. And if you need a

little spirit with your shake, get one of the spiked versions—vanilla-caramel bourbon, pineapple-coconut rum or mocha-kahlua vodka. As Flay is a professional chef, it stands to reason that he would want to offer seasonal flavors whenever possible—such is the case with Bobby’s Flavors of the Month, which brings a new taste to the menu every month. For November, Bobby’s brings a Pacific Northwest Burger, with American cheese, a bed of juicy cremini mushrooms and Flay’s own red wine barbecue sauce; along with a Caramel Apple shake of the month.

Sisters Mining Magic From Pain BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

ulitzer Prize-winning novelist and poet Alice Walker once asked if solace was anymore comforting than that in the arms of a sister. If there is any doubt that this is the case, look no further than the relationship between singer-songwriter Shelby Lynne and younger sibling Allison Moorer. The two released Not Dark Yet, the first full-length studio collaboration between the two that they’re out on the road promoting. Save for the song “Is It Too Much,” the remainder of the album consists of covers of disparate artists ranging from the expected Merle Haggard, Jason Isbell and Louvin Brothers to the more far-ranging including Nirvana, Nick Cave and The Killers. While many of the songs were favorites of the duo, other choices date back to a childhood in a mix of happy memories of growing up and singing in the car together to the dark day when their father fatally shot their mother before taking his own life in

the family driveway while the girls were inside the family home. At a recent show at Manhattan’s City Winery, the emotional connection was palpable between the duo, as they duetted and took turns providing harmonies for one other. That horrible day was even addressed via the inclusion of Moorer’s “Easy in the Summertime,” a song she alluded to in prior interviews as being, “...recovery in three verses. The first part is what actually happened. The second verse is what I want to remember. And the third verse is how we survived it. Our parents aren’t with us anymore, so what we have from that time is each other.” By set’s end, as the duo were singing Lynne’s “I’ll Hold Your Head,” a nod back to the twosome’s early years, Lynne’s tears had Moorer embracing her while finishing up the song. Suffice it to say, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. When asked about the difficulty of channeling that kind of emotional weight, Lynne admits it’s an integral part of what they’ve done in the studio and on stage. “It would be crazy to think that

Siblings Shelby Lynne (left) and Allison Moorer (Photo by Jacob Blickenstaff) it doesn’t dredge up feelings from our childhood—it all plays a part in what we’re doing up there. We are now together as people, sisters and songwriters,” she said. “Sometimes, it can be emotional for me…and for her. Yeah, sure. It absolutely brings up a lot of emotional things and I think it’s good to be in touch with those things. But it’s a lot.” Touring commitments eat up the remainder of the year and the sisters are definitely primed to return to the studio to cut a slate of all-original material, schedules permitting. While there have been offers to appear together on a number of unnamed tribute projects, Lynne is more interested in taking this recording collaboration to a more fully realized level. “We do know that we’re doing it, we just don’t have an idea of when it’s going to happen,” she said. “We hope to have at least begun it within a year to try to put something together. But

who the hell knows, man?” For anyone lucky enough to catch Lynne and Moorer performing together, what they’ll experience is a complete lack of artifice. The room winds up being permeated by the kind of raw emotion and love coming off the stage that threatens to classify anyone who doesn’t get a lump in their throat and reaching for a hankie as being clinically dead. It’s something Lynne readily acknowledges. “I don’t think Sissy and I have any passion to hide it. We’re pretty much open wounds, but we protect ourselves within each other,” she said. “It would be silly for us to go out there and think we wouldn’t be moved or emotional in a lot of places that we’re traveling in these songs, what they mean and why we chose them.
