Cirque du Soleil combines extreme sports and acrobatics in Volta BY BETSY ABRAHAM BABRAHAM@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Volta marks the first time BMX has been used in a Cirque du Soleil show.

he circus is coming to town. And while you won’t find clowns under this big top, you will find plenty of amusements, as Cirque du Soleil brings Volta to the NYCB Live Nassau Veterans’ Memorial Coliseum. Volta is unlike any other show in Cirque’s repertoire, combining BMX, acrobatics, rope-skipping and larger-than-life tricks. With 30 years of stage shows in their wake, the creative team at Cirque du Soleil finds itself challenged year after year to bring something new to the audiences who flock to cities around the world to be dazzled by feats they never even knew possible. And despite three decades of shows (with 21 currently underway around the world), Cirque is constantly pushing the boundaries. Volta artistic director Michael Smith noted that the show has a “contemporary” feel, and as such, the creative and casting team sought to find acts that would have an urban and youthful feel. BMX, with its free, uninhibited essence, played well into that. This is the first time a Cirque show has included BMX; the company even created a new division in its casting department—“extreme sports”—to find artists to fill the role. But BMX isn’t the only “first” in the show; Volta also includes hair suspension, which involves an aerial artist hanging from her hair. “It’s a super old theater tradition that we have never used at Cirque before. It’s incredibly feminine and surreal, so we represent it as a dream,” said Smith. Also adding to the youthful feel is a rope skipping act, which in true Cirque fashion includes an exceptional level of acrobatic ability. Artists perform single rope and double Dutch sequences, while tumbling, flipping and doing handstand hops through the spinning ropes. Those acrobatic feats make an appearance elsewhere throughout the show, including with a trampoline wall scene where performers transform the stage into a playground. But more than just incredible feats, Volta carries with it a universal message. “This show is about self-realization. We all have an idea of ourselves we think is not acceptable to the world at large,” noted Smith. “How do you find a way to love and accept yourself in order to present yourself to the world as you are?” It’s a theme that can be embraced by global audiences spanning the generations and Smith notes that everyone walks out of the big top taking something else away. “We’re there to inspire and show people in the audience how to do the impossible. I think that’s part of why people come to Cirque,” Smith

said. “We throw something out there and the people in the big top will use their imagination to interpret what we’re saying. It’s a concept and idea but we don’t lead people by the nose.” And that implicit conversation with the audience is essential to stitching together a Cirque show, said Smith. After the two years it takes to create a show, all their performances go through a one-year “evolution” process, where acts are cut, added and modified based on audience reaction. “We’re not doing it for us, it’s for the

audience,” said Smith, noting that the big top provides an intimate, unique atmosphere to the show. “The big top is an exchange with the performer and the audience and the energy the audience gives back to the performers, they give back and it’s a circle of inspiration.” Volta runs May 17 through June 10.

ENTERTAINMENT

hile Cirque du Soleil is known for its death-defying feats and stunts that push the boundaries of human physicality, an immensely talented creative team helps bring these performances to life.

The Fabric Of The Show The stunning costumes of Volta echo the themes of alienation and self-realization. They also reflect the Do-It-Yourself mentality of those who strive to “find their free.” The stylish handmade creations were designed by Zaldy Goco, famous for his work with Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Gwen Stefani and for RuPaul’s Drag Race. More than 1,200 costume elements were produced by the artisans in the costume workshop at Cirque du Soleil’s international headquarters in Montreal. These skilled artists helped create costumes that tell a story; the colorful, complex costumes

of the FREESPIRITS call to mind individuality and a love for life while the grey patchwork-type patterns of THE GREYS represent how they have replaced their zeal for adventure with repetition. A distinctive headdress filled with

The Jewish Wedding Chapel at

Congregation Beth Israel

1,500 blue feathers was also created for the main character, WAZ, while a golden coat is only fitting for the attention-seeking celebrity, MR. WOW.

The Latest In Tech Volta’s video control system is 100 percent interactive and can be triggered by the simple kick of a drum or the sound of a voice. Technology plays a huge part in the show, with the stage ringed with LED lights and lined with a forest of movable lampposts that serve to focus the audience’s attention on the performance. The team also capitalizes on the use of video to take the audience back in time, with short “family movies”

We invite you to rededicate your vows, get married or have a Jewish wedding ceremony... Wedding Includes: • Use of Sanctuary (can accommodate 2 – 200 guests) • Officiation by a Rabbi • Flowers and Decorations • Coffee and Cake for Guests • Ketubah or Rededication Certificate • One-Year membership in Congregation Beth Israel, Holiday Seats Included

An Electrifying Beat Written by composer Anthony Gonzalez (M83), the highly cinematic music of Volta evokes a complex array of emotions and moods that ebb and flow, always in sync with the acrobatic performances on stage. It is a narrative tool, echoing the different arcs in the storyline and expressing the distinct personalities of the worlds of Volta—the GREYS, the MEMORIES and the FREESPIRITS.

DINING

Feast Of The Seven Markets BY STEVE MOSCO SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

ny day now, the weather will be consistently warm. And when the temperature finally climbs above 60—and stays there—it will officially be seafood season. But while going out to a seafood restaurant and letting a chef do all the work harbors the potential for a delectable meal, there is some satisfaction in reeling in your own catch from the local fish market and preparing it yourself at home. Here are the 10 best fish and seafood markets in Nassau County.

Willy’s Fish Corp., Westbury A neighborhood staple on Drexel Avenue since 1972, Willy’s boasts a staff with an intimate knowledge of all that lives in the ocean. With fresh

daily specials like red snapper fillet, swordfish steak, bay scallops and much more, Willy’s is the first stop for planning a seafood feast. And if cooking isn’t your thing, there’s also plenty of prepared platters available.

Artie’s South Shore, Island Park The dark paneling and nautical décor are relics of the past, but the fish and seafood are most definitely as fresh as possible. Adhering to the tenets of the dearly departed fisherman and namesake, Artie Hoerning, the market serves fresh from the sea fare on one

It’s fitting that one of the more well-known fish markets resides on Freeport’s Nautical Mile. A third generation seafood business, Two Cousins was started in the 1930s by two fishermen who were fresh from Italy. With a wholesale operation on Bennington Avenue and the original retail spot on Woodcleft Avenue, Two Cousins offers a wide selection of domestic and imported seafood.

side of the establishment, with a cozy dining area on the other. On the market side, Artie’s boasts fresh fish caught that same day and all orders are cut to customers’ exact standards.

Jordan Lobster Farms, Island Park The Willy Wonka Factory of lobster farms on Pettit Place offers a wellstocked market of fresh-from-the-sea items year round. Aside from live lobsters, Jordan brings bushels of clams, mounds of shrimp and rows upon rows of scallops, salmon, halibut and more to its loyal customer base. Don’t forget about crab, as Jordan stocks dungeness, soft shell, snow and Maryland blue claw in its cases.

Levittown Fish Market, Farmingdale and Levittown Established in 1980 on Gardiners Avenue in Farmingdale, Levittown Fish Market’s wholesale business is a family owned business that ships million pounds of fresh and frozen seafood annually. Working from an inventory of more than 500 seafood items, Levittown distributes via air

and truck and ships nationwide. Meanwhile, it’s Lobster City retail store brings fresh catches to the counter for a deep-sea take on dinnertime.

Syosset Seafood, Syosset Four generations of fishmongers has made Syosset Seafood on Robins Lane the go-to North Shore seafood

establishment. Seafood is pulled in at the crack of dawn each morning at the Hunt’s Point Market and it’s then delivered to the market for sale to customers and wholesale to some of the city’s finest restaurants. Syosset Seafood, which traces its origins to a small fishing community in Sicily, also offers plenty of prepared dishes like baked snapper oreganato, fried

calamari, linguine with white clam sauce and more.

Stew Leonard’s, East Meadow, Farmingdale The Disneyland of dairy stores has plenty to moo about when it comes to its seafood section, with high quality, fresh catches and an immense variety. Locally sourced

when possible, the fish market at Stew Leonard’s features wild-caught, organically raised and sustainably farm-raised fare, as well as incredibly sweet wild Gulf shrimp. Meanwhile, Stew Leonard’s lobsters are from fisherman in Deer Isle, Maine, and the deliciously clawed creatures take just seven hours to get from the boat to store on Long Island.

MUSIC

Serving Up Soulful Medicine BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

hythm and blues from the past six decades has provided a treasure trove of songs that have spurred a cottage industry of artists releasing albums consisting of material drawn solely from the vaults of labels like Motown and Stax/Volt. And while that approach can provide diminishing returns as each year passes and more and more of these tunes get trotted out, it’s more rewarding when you have someone who looks to tap into the spirit of R&B versus just becoming a human jukebox. So it goes with A.J. Croce, whose latest album Just Like Medicine draws inspiration from the soul of southern music tradition. Produced by esteemed Muscle Shoals-based songwriter Dan Penn (“Dark End of the Street,” “Do Right Woman, Do Right Man”), this collection finds the piano-playing Croce serving up 10 originals that channel everyone from Dr. John (opener “Gotta Get Outta My Head”—a spiritual sibling of Mac Rebennac’s “Walking on Gilded Splinters) and Randy Newman (the jaunty “Full Up”) to Professor Longhair (the punchy, horn-soaked “The Heart That Makes Me Whole,” featuring some crispy riffing by storied guitarist Steve Cropper). “I think the whole idea was to do a soul album, but let’s not cover anything, even if we’re working with legendary soul artists like Steve Cropper, Dan,

David Hood, the Muscle Shoals Horns or any of the people that joined the party,” Croce said. “Let’s just make sure that we make it original and make an honest sincere record. I think that’s what soul is all about—sincerity.” Croce, who has always had an affinity for soulful

pianists like Ray Charles and Mose Allison, got the ball rolling when he asked Penn to collaborate following a show the latter performed at the

Taking Their Moms To Work Every day is a day to love and appreciate all that mothers do. In advance of Mother’s Day, on April 12, 1-800-Flowers.com hosted its annual Take Your Mom to Work Day event. This fun twist on Take Your Child to Work Day was created to celebrate the special role moms play in our lives. Employees’ moms received a behind-the-scenes look at 1-800-Flowers.com and participated in a day of events including designing floral arrangements with one of the

brand’s expert florists. The moms then traveled to NYU Winthrop Hospital in Mineola, where they donated their handcrafted floral arrangements to 18 nurses from the hospital’s nursing staff—just ahead of Nurse Appreciation Week. Through this kind gesture, the moms were able to experience firsthand how 1-800-Flowers.com fulfills its mission to deliver smiles every day. —Submitted by 1-800-Flowers.com

Top Chef Antonia Lofaso talks Longines Masters In honor of the Longines Masters Series’ arrival to New York, EEM has tapped Long Island-native Antonia Lofaso to be the official chef of the 2018 Longines Masters of New York. Chef Lofaso is head chef of Scopa Italian Roots and Black Market Liquor Bar in Los Angeles, and is most recognizable by her role on a number of popular cooking shows, including Top Chef, Cutthroat Kitchen and Restaurant Startup. As the international competition moves to its new home on Long Island at NYCB LIVE, Home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, the menus at the Masters Club, curated by Lofaso, will feature some of celebrity chef’s signature and childhood favorite dishes. The menu incorporates notes of Long Island’s varied cuisine and draws inspiration from upbringing on Long Island, providing Masters Club members an inside, elevated taste of the region.

Why is the Longines Masters of New York special to you? Secretariat is one of my all-time, favorite movies. I love all things horse-riding—the showmanship, racing, etc. It’s just such a beautiful sport. What no one really knows about me is that my mom wanted me to be an equestrian when I was a kid, but my brother messed it up. I used to ride when I was little, but since my brother is anaphylactic to horses and dogs, I had to stop coming home covered in horse hair. I guess now I get to vicariously live out that life through the athletes at Longines and I’m excited to make them my favorite power bar.

How does cooking for a stadium of fans and international competitors compare to competing on Top Chef? Whenever you’re cooking for large groups, it’s nerve-racking because you want your experience to translate. A restaurant, both front and back of house, is built for the menu, the music, We sat down with Chef Lofaso the kitchen, the service, the whole to talk about her menu for the experience, etc. It’s harder to do that in Masters Clubs at the Longines Masters of New York and discov- a space like NYCB Live and you want ered her secret affinity to horses. it to be perfect. I’m competitive and as

a complete perfectionist, I’m always nervous as I want everything to be absolutely flawless.

What is the inspiration behind your menu for Longines Masters New York? I wanted to give the riders and all the guests a true taste of authentic Long Island cuisine while paying homage to my hometown and childhood. Having such a prestigious, international competition come to Long Island is such a milestone and I wanted to create a menu that incorporated both my heritage and the cultures around the world. Just as the menu at Scopa Italian Roots is a culmination of my memories, I wanted the Longines menu to be melting pot of cuisines.

Tickets for the Longines Masters of New York are available for purchase at www.ticketmaster. com and https://longinesmasters.com/en/new-york/ ticketing. For additional information on the Longines Masters of New York, visit www. longinesmasters.com.

Is there a dish that you created specifically for Longines Masters New York? I’ve made a really special Rider Power Bar just for the riders. It’s got goji berries, Monk fruit, coconut flakes and dark chocolate.

WE LOVE OUR PETS The Perfect Vet For A Pet BY CHRIS BIRSNER

CBIRSNER@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

or new pet owners, bringing your new companion home for the first time is one of the happiest moments of your life. However, one of the early tough parts of owning a pet is planning out what to do if the animal gets sick. There are plenty of places that have veterinarians waiting to take care of it, but how do you know which vet to choose from? Here are a few important qualities to look for when making that choice. Experience While there is an abundance of veterinarians out there, there are some that stand out more than others because of the amount of experience they have. This could be because they’ve spent more than 20-30 years as a vet compared to just 5-10 years. They also may have plenty of experience in education or internships, where they’ve been groomed to become one of the best options out there. Do research on a vet’s background and see how they compare to others in the area.

Accessibility Serious illness or injuries can strike at anytime for pets. One of the most important things to learn about your vet is when they will be available in case of emergency. They may have set hours that they follow, but see if they offer emergency hours if something were to happen when they aren’t there. It’s important to see if vets would be willing to give a phone number that you can call or text anytime of day as well. Another thing

to consider is how close the vet is. You can’t travel an hour or two out to your vet, especially if there is an emergency. Try finding someone that is right around the corner and could help you out as soon as possible.

Reputation Online reviews and talking to friends come in handy when selecting a vet. Hearing public opinion about them gives you a glimpse into what it may be like in the check-up room talking to the vet. You want to hear that they are kind to you and your pet, patiently listening to you and your concerns about what is happening. You also want to hear how they handle a pet, such as if they are very careful with their examination or a little more forceful. Finally, you want to hear success stories. Did a pet get better because an owner went to this vet?

Upper Class Treats BY JENNIFER FAUCI

JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

e all scream for the sweet taste of ice cream. Entering their fourth season of bringing ice cream to the masses, Erica and Stephanie Belk have a pretty sweet deal on wheels. The Frozen Sin owners have fully stocked their truck with delicious doughnuts and sandwich-shaped ice cream sandwiches (now patented) and have now entered the catering game. Can you say best graduation party ever? “My dad is an entrepreneur, but I’ve been a chef since I was 15 and I knew I wanted to start something,” said Erica of Frozen Sin. “We wanted the name to be something intriguing to get people in.” While you may see the Frozen Sin truck out at farmers markets and events, they can also come to your home for private catering. With graduation parties on the horizon, what better way to customize your teen’s special day? “It’s a really fun time. We pull up in front of where the party is and we have speakers on the outside of the truck playing music so the guests can get pumped up,” said Stephanie, who also mentioned a new pushcart, which looks like the truck and is very popular at graduation parties. “We hand them an ice cream sandwich and a bag of doughnuts as well. Everything is prepared.” The duo pride themselves on doing everything fresh and natural, but they will customize flavors whenever possible at clients’ requests. For parties, Frozen Sin arrives with five or six different flavors of ice cream sandwiches. The cookie part is vanilla based

(Photos courtesy of Frozen Sin) for funfetti, snickerdoodle or lemon cookies, while the brownie cookie is a hit among chocolate lovers. “We come up with so many different ideas throughout the season. If people say they want a flavor and it’s not on the menu, we will create it,” said Erica, adding that their frozen hot chocolate, which was a custom flavor is one of the fan favorites. “Most our clients go for the staples: funfetti, hot chocolate, cookie dough and cookies and cream, but whatever they get is always going to be unique and delicious,” added Stephanie. Spring and summer flavors include

mint chocolate chip (made with fresh mint leaves from the Belk’s backyard), dulce de leche ice cream with crushed pretzels and potato chips, cherry pie; passion fruit mango, peach raspberry and lemon curd blueberry ice cream sandwiches. Frozen Sin buys produce from the market fresh every week and keeps ingredients as local as possible. However, they only make certain flavors seasonally. Their doughnuts are also a delight for a hungry graduate. “Our most popular doughnut is S’mores, which is covered in chocolate, crushed graham crackers and a toasted marshmallow that we torch in front of the customers,” said Erica. Fall flavors include pumpkin mousse and caramel apple and the churro doughnut and chocolate raspberry doughnut with fresh raspberry preserves is also a favorite. “When we started the truck, our product was so different than anything else out there and people loved it,” said Stephanie. “We are nut free and also have dairy free and gluten free ice cream as well because we want everyone to be able to get what they want.” To book Frozen Sin at your next event, visit www.frozensintruck.com, call 516-353-8713 or email Erica@ frozensintruck.com. Follow them on social media at @frozensintruck.

Capping It Off BY ALLISON EICHLER

AEICHLER@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

pril showers bring May flowers, but more importantly, it brings the day every college senior dreams of—graduation. High school seniors will have their turn in June, but both groups of almost-graduates can start thinking of how they want to adorn their graduation cap. The great thing about decorating a cap, should their respective school allow them, is it allows the student to let their personality shine rather than blend in with a sea of colored squares at graduation.

Clubs Both your college and high school experience can be defined by the things you were involved in. If you were in a club, put the name and a symbolic image on your cap. College life is often defined by Greek life, so why not rep your letters on your

graduation cap? Surely you made some amazing friends, so you could even paste on a photo or two. The relationships and connections you form during your time in school are everlasting, so memorialize them on the hat that represents everything you’ve accomplished.

on your cap thanking your parents for everything they’ve done to make your college education possible.

Debt While it’s not something you’re happy about, it’s become a trend to joke about student loans on your cap. Make a reference to Game of Thrones and write, “Game of Loans.” While loans are indeed the worst, you can make the best of it on the day where it’s all made worthwhile. You can even get sentimental and write a note

College Common for high school graduates is to put on your cap the name of the college or university you’ll be attending. You can put the colors, the mascot and even symbols of your major if you’ve decided that already. If your college town is particularly interesting or notable, you can put symbols of that on your cap as well.

Seniors show off their decorated caps of their future colleges. (Photo by Elizabeth Johnson) Pop Culture Between TV shows, movies, books, music and even memes, there’s undoubtedly a couple of favorites you could put on your cap. Obsessed with Friends? Put, “The One Where I Graduate” on your cap. For the firm believer that Breaking Bad is the greatest show ever, do a play on words and write, “‘Br’eaking G’Ra’d.” Put a quote from your favorite book. Make a Mean Girls reference and put, “Get in loser, we’re graduating.”

185143B

Imagination There are no rules for decorating your cap, so have some fun with it. Make a pun, turn your cap into your favorite boardgame or make a reference to whatever running joke is taking over Twitter at the moment. The options for decorating are truly limitless, so use your imagination and create whatever comes to mind first.

BY FATHER RALPH SOMMER

EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

n the fifty days that follow the Christian feast of Easter, you may notice a number of parties springing up throughout the neighborhood. And if there isn’t a graduate being celebrated in that house, there’s a good possibility that it’s a communion or confirmation party. In the Catholic Church, as well as some other denominations, communion and confirmation are two sacraments. Sacraments are signs of God’s life and love that change us for the better. It starts with Baptism where we recognize that we are daughters and sons of God, and that we are to be disciples of Jesus throughout our lives. But because the majority of people are baptized when they are infants, they had no say in the life of faith. When they are older they are able to confirm their faith and choose to follow Jesus on an ongoing basis. If you are going for a plane ride, it is always good to confirm your reservation. “To confirm” in this sense is to see if your seat is still there. Confirmation as a sacrament can have a similar meaning. Is faith in Jesus still there? People who present themselves for confirmation are making a statement that their faith is indeed still there and that they intend to continue to live that faith in the Church community. In no way does it mean that religion is complete or that the confirmed person will now stop participating in the church. The opposite is true: Confirmation means that people have come to a place in their lives where they truly want to be more involved as a disciple of Jesus. And they receive the gift of God’s Holy Spirit that seals their baptism. Communion is the food that

sustains that involvement. The night before Jesus died, he took bread, blessed it, broke it and gave it to his disciples saying, “Take this, all of you and eat of it. For this is my body.” He gave them the cup of wine and declared it to be his blood. I’m sure this sounded strange to the apostles, as it often sounds strange to little children who would in no way eat someone’s body or drink someone’s blood. But Jesus meant what he said. I sometimes describe what happens in communion by using an example of a grandmother who makes a delicious, loving meal for her family. Imagine that a member of the family would throw the food to the floor and declare, “I’m not eating this slop.” The horror, pain, hurt and anger that grandma would feel comes not from mere rudeness, but because she put her love into that food. By pushing away the food, the person pushed away grandma herself who in a real way is “in” the food. What if God wanted to be in the food? Jesus did want to become the food. And while it still looks like bread and wine, Jesus’ desire to be present to his followers transcends what it looks like. He is in the food. Or better, he is the food. For those who receive communion, we believe that Jesus now is in communion with us in a most intimate way—for “we are what we eat,” as the saying goes. We invite children who are old enough to understand this to receive communion for the first time, and then every Sunday after that for the rest of their lives. When you see the parties for communion and confirmation, know that families are celebrating a new deeper connection to their church and to Jesus. That is indeed a reason to celebrate.

child’s first Holy Communion is perhaps the first milestone where they begin to understand God’s presence in their lives. For this special time, gifts are often bestowed upon the new communicant. If you want to opt for a more personalized and meaningful gift instead of money or a savings bond, consider these trinkets to give to a child on their first Holy Communion.

Rosary Beads A beautiful and sentimental gift for a communicant is rosary beads. The Holy Rosary (also known as the Dominican Rosary), refers to a form of prayer used in the Catholic Church. The string of beads is used to count the prayers. For those who travel and have a family member or friend receiving communion, keep in mind the cities you may visit as many churches and cathedrals sell rosary beads in their gift shops. A majority of rosary beads today are made of glass, plastic or wood.

Men’s fashion doesn’t seem to fluctuate as widely as women’s fashion does, but there are quite a few directions to go in. There are many floral options out there, as well as metallic fabrics for those who want to stand out. Velvet can project a sophisticated James Bond image, while you can never go wrong with a classic wool jacket. To add a little pop without being over the top, consider a geometric pattern.

pring is upon us and that means prom season is set to occupy the thoughts of Long Island teenagers. Since 1995, Roslyn-based The Junior League has held an annual Prom Boutique. During that time, the league has asked Long Islanders “to band together and rid their closets and drawers of unneeded fancy dresses, shoes and accessories.” This year was no different as thousands of Long Islanders donated needed—and attractive—items to drop-off stations all across Nassau and Suffolk counties. The Long Island Volunteer Center, in conjunction with Nassau Community College, coordinates the collection and distribution of new and gently-used prom dresses, bridesmaid dresses and accessories to assist thousands of young Long Island women who cannot absorb expenses associated with not just the prom, but also awards ceremonies or graduation. “The program is made available at no cost through the outreach efforts of high school guidance counselors, at-risk youth agencies, group homes, churches and other community organizations that benefit youth,”

Teacher Appreciation Week is a time for both parents and student to show their gratitude to their educators, and no gift, no matter how small goes unnoticed. These sweet, simple gifts and thoughtful gestures are sometimes all a teacher needs on a rough day to remind them why they chose their career path. Consider these gifts for your child’s teacher. see TEACHER GIFTS on page 21A

Catholic Elementary Schools STEM Fair The second annual Diocesan STEM Fair was recently held at Holy Trinity High School and provided a showcase for many of the outstanding projects from individual Catholic elementary schools. The fair, which displayed and demonstrated 85 different student projects, highlights the rigorous STEM education programs that are in place at the Diocesan schools. The program, which is orchestrated by Assistant Superintendent Anthony Biscione, brings together some of the best and brightest science students from all across Long Island. “The program is unique because it connects our schools at multiple levels,” said Biscione. “All of the projects, which are created by elementary students, are peer reviewed by Honors science students from St. John the Baptist and Holy Trinity Diocesan high schools, by science teachers from the high schools, by educators from St. John’s University, and by officials from LITEEA, the Long Island Technology Engineering Education Association.” In addition to the students’ exhibits in the gym, this year’s event included something called the “Mercy Contraption,” a Rube Goldberg type of device that was conceived, created and demonstrated by the students

from Our Lady of Mercy elementary school in Hicksville. While each project demonstrated at the STEM Fair qualified to be part of the event by winning their respective local events, there were a number of projects identified and recognized at the STEM Fair for their outstanding effort. Projects were broken out into two levels: level one was for students from the fifth and sixth grades and level two was for seventh and eighth grade students. Because the focus is on helping

students develop problem-solving skills, the students’ instructions were to pick a problem, identify a proposed solution, then create a prototype that demonstrates your solution. The winning projects included the level one winner by Matthew Zaromatidis from Notre Dame School in New Hyde Park. Zaromatidis’ project explored the design for earthquake-proof buildings. Of the level two competitors, the judges liked David Solan’s app for day-planning best. Solan is a student at St. Patrick School in Huntington. Each level recognized the top three

projects and the winners took home gift cards of $75, $50 and $25 respectively acknowledging their first, second or third place finishes. “Of course, each student who gets to this level is a winner,” stated Diocesan Schools Superintendent Dr. Kathleen Walsh. “Each was recognized with a certificate in an award ceremony that followed the fair.” Walsh and Biscione personally handed out the awards and congratulated all of the participating students and their rightfully proud parents. —Anton Media Staff

TEACHER GIFTS from page 19A

BASKET OF GOODIES

MUG

Basket gifts are a fantastic way to combine gifts and can be even more playful with a theme. A journal, nice pens and a bookmark is perfect for the English teacher while an art teacher might appreciate an adult coloring book, a new pencil set and a gift card to a craft store. And it can’t hurt to toss in a bottle of hand sanitizer, which every teacher needs.

Tried and true, but still an affordable gift. Whether they drink out of it or display it on their desk as a pen holder, teachers love mugs. Fun sayings, pictures and grateful phrases are popular to gift onto a mug, or you can create your own image to personalize. Filling the mug with chocolate or candy is a sweet extra thought as well.

PICTURE FRAME

GIFT CARDS

Teacher-themed picture frames are a sweet desk memento for the classroom. Include a class photo or a nice poem or quote in the frame so it isn’t empty upon opening.

While gift cards may seem like an impersonal gift to some, they are actually quite practical and your child’s teacher will appreciate these more than you know. Gift cards to Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, Amazon or even Target will go a long way when teachers need a caffeine pick me up or something to read for leisure. (Photo source: Amazon)

APPLE The quintessential teacher gift, the iconic apple. A paperweight apple engraved with the teacher’s name, monogrammed with their initials or “#1 Teacher” is a great gift that teachers can use year after year. This apple doubles as a bell and paperweight.

Other gift ideas: Tote bag, Christmas ornament, plastic tumbler, a plant and school and art supplies for the classroom.

Landing A Summer Internship The end of the school year can be a stressful time for students as they focus on finals and end of year projects and events. Balancing these responsibilities with additional obligations such as sports or clubs can be overwhelming. While at this time it may seem like an onerous task to add the pursuit of an internship, it may ultimately result in many long term benefits. Many experts believe that successfully completing an internship is essential to getting hired after graduation, and that participating in multiple internships can set the college graduate apart from others in the job hunt. Below are some tips to share with your children to help them obtain an internship:

Networking

Use social media sites to network. Post your interest in an internship and the field in which you want to intern; inquire about openings or connections. Use LinkedIn to create a profile and to connect with companies that interest you. Talk to anyone you know with connections

PARENTING MATTERS Graziella Simonetti to companies that interest you. Speak to neighbors, family, friends, parents of friends, alumni, supervisors, and the Career Center at your school. Speak to professors within relevant academic departments to see if they can refer you to anyone or guide you in some way. Consider using a recruiter to provide you with opportunities.

Utilize the Internet

Research to see which sites are most targeted for the field or company where you hope to intern. Utilize popular databases such as Internships. com, WayUp.Com, YouTern.com, Indeed.com, and Idealist.org. Search promising companies and find a contact person. Explore the site to see

if it has information on internships and careers, and look to see if there are any upcoming events that you can attend.

Be prepared

When creating a resume and/ or cover letter, make sure that it is grammatically correct and professionally written. Have someone you trust proof-read it. Do not use a sample template. Utilize the Career Center at your school for support on how to make your cover letter stand out. Before an interview, do your research. Learn about the industry. Research the company. What is its mission? What is its vision, and who are the people who work there? Dress professionally and conservatively on the interview. Review your own social media presence and consider what your profile and pictures say about you to a prospective company that may search you. The Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University conducted a study on

internships, and they found that 63 percent of college graduates who had completed an internship received job offers within six months of graduating compared to the 35 percent of students who were offered a job without ever interning. Completing an internship also impacts salary negotiations. Reflect on where you will get the most hands on experience and be offered the most responsibility. This is often more important than how recognizable a company’s name may be. Be open to different roles and responsibilities other than the ones you are seeking or anticipating. Graziella Simonetti is a parent educator for EAC Network’s Long Island Parenting Institute and works as an early childhood social worker for the New York City Department of Education. She holds an advanced certificate in parent education from Adelphi University and is a NYSPEP credentialed parenting educator. Simonetti is a former kindergarten teacher.

One Body, One Heart, One Journey

tudents and families from Holy Family Elementary School and Parish joined forces with students and faculty from the Holy Trinity Diocesan High School Community to walk and pray through the Stations of the Cross as they keep vigil with Christ during holy week. The Stations of the Cross Walk on March 27 began at Holy Family Church at 5 p.m. and proceeded through the neighborhood that connects the two Hicksville school communities, ending back at Holy Family Parish and school. This exercise in solidarity between the nursery through eighth grade students and families at Holy Family School and Parish and the ninth through 12th grade students at Holy Trinity High School, focuses on the journey Jesus took from his condemnation to his death. Stations of the Cross refers to a series of images depicting Jesus Christ on the day of his crucifixion. The object of the stations is to help faithful to make a spiritual pilgrimage through contemplation of the Passion of Christ. The “stations” refer to a series of 14 images arranged in order along a path and the faithful travel from image to image, stopping at each station to say the selected prayers and reflections. The Stations of the Cross procession most commonly occurs during Lent, especially on Good Friday, in a spirit of reparation for the sufferings and insults that Jesus endured during his passion. The joining of the Parish community with the communities from both schools is symbolic because it acknowledges that as members of Long Island’s Catholic community that we share one journey in faith. “All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.” —St. Francis of Assisi —Anton Media Staff

WORD FIND

Holiday Mathis Holiday Mathis Mathis HOROSCOPES ByByByHoliday

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 31 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Children go with the pied piper of the playground -- the one who gives them something to follow and makes them dance and laugh. Adults are skeptical of this character. In the adult world, fun takes a back seat to dependability. Then there’s you -- both fun and responsible. No wonder you’re wildly popular this week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There will be an upswing of competitive posturing around you this week. You might think of this as a challenge to stay grounded. The one with the smallest ego will win in the end, mainly by staying out of the fight and looking for opportunities that are much richer than a moment of glory can afford.

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND The World of Computers WORD FIND

This is a theme puzzle withSolution: the subject stated31 below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may Letters 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 31 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

The World of Computers Solution: 31 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The one who doesn’t seem to care isn’t hardhearted or ill intentioned. That person just doesn’t see what’s at stake the way you do. You’ll become more influential this week as you try to find ways to reach that person -- to educate and enlighten without pushing your own agenda. Success will be yours. CANCER (June 22-July 22). A minor deal is starting to go south. The easy solution is to leave -- there’s very little at stake here and you don’t owe anyone. But assuming that you didn’t get here by accident, there’s more to gain by getting through this the hard way. Take a stand. State your case. Either work something out or learn from the experience.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your eyes are open to the bigger picture this week, so find many moments to stop and take in the view. Stopping is crucial. No driver is dependable while taking in the grandeur of the scenery. It’s a good way to drive off a cliff. That’s why, at the best views, there are usually places to pull over and park. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If it’s supposed to be fun, then why do you feel like an unpaid factory worker as you as you tend to it? Anything, even the fun stuff, can get tedious with too much repetition. This week is about making sweeping changes to your work and play to keep the threat of the laborious life (and attitude) at bay. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). What is the real reason that all streams flow to the sea? Do they heed the sound of the crashing tide? No. Are they irresistibly drawn to the magnificent charisma of the sheer magnitude of water? No. Streams flow to the sea for the simple reason that the sea is lower. This speaks to the attractive powers of humility. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The fight has taught you something, but there’s an end to what it has to offer. You may feel like throwing up your hands in resignation. This isn’t the same as giving up. You’re just starting to notice something bigger -- something that, if you were to surrender to it, would alleviate needless suffering. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The status quo may not be worth defending, but most will defend it anyway because it’s safe and easy -- a defense that requires no thought, no fight. All it takes is a willingness to do things the way everyone else is doing them. You won’t be able to this week. You’ll be too busy with your brave innovations. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You weren’t there when this was created, but hey -- the mystery is what makes it fun. Expect mistakes as you explore. Don’t worry about getting it wrong, or causing damage. You really can’t know what a thing is made of until it falls apart. Enjoy the intact version, but don’t be afraid to play hard either. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Instead of trying to claw your way to the top amongst fierce competition, move to where the competition is zero and be number one. Become the go-to person in a very specific category. Create your own game with your own rules. It’s not that you can’t compete in the big leagues, it’s just that you’re too smart to.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Welcome to one of the most creative years of your life. But you should know... creativity comes at a cost. It asks that you give up certainty. It asks that you look past the easy, fast answer. It asks that you risk failure. Even the smallest creative act will ask these things of you. But you’re exceptionally brave and that is why you’ll be exceptionally creative. You’ll solve interesting problems and sell the solutions. Your charisma will soar. Fascinating people will come into your realm. COPYRIGHT 2018 CREATORS.COM

Solution: They don't always appear to be logical Solution: They don't always appear to be logical

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In comic books, mortals are ruled by conditions, whereas gods create them; and yet, it is often the case that the mortal still wins in the end. There’s always an advantage somewhere. This week, the “gods” will be weakened by their own selfishness, obliviousness and greed. Opportunity appears to those who seek it.

SOULFUL from page 8A Nashville outpost of City Winery. What started out as two songs, (“The Other Side of Love” and “Cures Like Medicine”), evolved into the idea of a fullfledged project recorded in mono over the span of three days. The decision to go old-school with the recording process was something Croce embraced, as did Penn, when it was suggested. “When we recorded those first two songs, we kind of ran out of tracks and I said we should approach it like a record Dan would have done in the past,” Croce explained. “I know mono sounded crazy to him, because it’s the world he came out of and he lived in a stereo world for a long time, but he totally understood it. I figured that if you’re going to listen to something that’s the equivalent of a transistor radio, it would sound best in mono.” Having lost his famous singer-songwriter father Jim at the age of 2, the younger Croce found his own musical way while being raised by mom Ingrid, who herself had been part of a folk duo with her late husband. And while he didn’t get to really know his pop, the Pennsylvania native does get to connect on his current album thanks to the song “Name of the Game,” which was a previously unreleased song by his pop that was slated to appear on 1973’s I Got a Name, the late musician’s last album. “When I brought songs in [while recording], I never told Dan who I co-wrote with or who wrote the

song. I’d just tell him to check this or that out. That happened right up until the day we recorded that song of my dad’s, which I just thought was a soulful song that I had on a cassette,” Croce said. “I sort of heard it for the first time in my early 30s. ‘Name of the Game’ was one of the last songs that he wrote and so it was kind of an opportunity to collaborate with my dad in a way that I probably won’t have again in that same way.” For his current tour, Croce’s sidemen include veteran bassist David Berard (Dr. John; Allen Toussaint), drummer Gary Mallaber (Van Morrison, Steve Miller) and upand-coming guitarist Garrett Stoner. And while he’ll be mixing in music of his father and his own 25 years of recording, he’s promising to throw in plenty of surprises that came from a childhood spent delving into artists ranging from Mississippi John Hurt and Woody Guthrie to Otis Redding, Sam Cooke and Solomon Burke. “I was more influenced by my dad’s record collection than I was by him. Not that I didn’t love his music, but it was just one of those things where I lost my sight at a young age and I got turned on to Ray Charles and we had a piano at the house. As I was sort of getting my sight back during that period, it was a great way of getting a certain sense of confidence to be able to play music and it came naturally,” he said. “What can people expect? A really energetic show that will have people coming away and asking what just happened. They knew all of my dad’s stuff and they may or may know

something of mine. There might even be covers of things they were unaware of having been done by certain people—that’s kind of what makes it all so much fun.” A.J. Croce will be appearing on April 27 at the YMCA Boulton Center for the Performing Arts, 37 W. Main St., Bay Shore. For more information, visit www.boultoncenter.org or call 631-969-1101.

The Ultimate David B BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

hen David Bowie unexpectedly passed away on Jan. 10, 2016, the world lost more than a mere rock star. He was a visionary whose restless creative spirit ingested and expressed itself through a number of disciplines beyond music and encompassed film, literature, theater, fashion, art, photography and science fiction. David Bowie Is, the exemplary international exhibit that’s been on tour since it debuted at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum back in 2013, and is making its last stop at the Brooklyn Museum through July 15, perfectly reflects this. Visitors get to walk through wearing headphones attached to a device that plays songs and Bowie interview snippets that are coordinated to go with whatever part of the exhibit the attendee may be walking through. Approximately 500 objects are featured and include roughly 60 photographs, 60 performance costumes, 35 drawings by Bowie, 85 handwritten lyric sheets and some 51 videos consisting of music videos, television clips, filmed roles and tour footage. The Brooklyn presentation adds an additional 100 objects and places emphasis on his work and life in America. This leg of the tour features the film backdrop from the Sound+Vision tour, LINE, a drawing collaboration with Laurie Anderson, additional costumes from the Ziggy Stardust era, filmed performances, script and clapboard from The Man Who Fell to Earth and drawings

from Bowie for his last album Blackstar. In addition, this exhibit includes an installation of art created for him by his fans, going back to the early 1970s, a focus on the recording of the Young Americans album in Philadelphia and New York, his performance on Broadway in The Elephant Man and vanguard performances on Saturday Night Live. If anything, the late London native was a breathing conduit whose influence was guided by the vast amount of other artists who had a profound effect on him. Among the dizzying array of names represented here are Anton Corbijn, Mick Rock, Helmut Newton, Issey Miyake, Thierry Mugler, Giorgio Armani, Andy Warhol, Gus Van Sant, Jim Henson, Julien Temple, Don Cornelius, Tony Visconti, Richard Avedon, Elvis Presley, Willie Brown, The Beatles, Little Richard, D.H. Lawrence and The Velvet Underground. As the exhibit indicates, responses to Bowie’s passing by authorities ranging from “...the British prime minister and the President of the United States to the German government and the Vatican indicated Bowie’s influence and impact to which he has permeated popular culture.” David Bowie Is reflects this a thousandfold.

David Bowie Is will be on exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum, 200 Eastern Pkwy. Brooklyn through July 15. For more information, visit www.brooklynmuseum.org or call 718-638-5000.

Stan Fischler Dials It Down T BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

hey don’t call Stan Fischler “the Maven” for nothing. As the resident hockey expert who has served as a reporter and analyst for MSG Networks since 1975, Fischler’s obsession with the world’s fastest sport dates back to attending his first game at the old Madison Square Garden as a seven-year-old with his father. It was at this double-header minor league hockey tilt featuring the Rangers’ farm team, The Rovers, where the die was cast for this life-long love affair. So imagine the seismic shocks that emanated when the 86-year-old media stalwart recently announced that the 2017-18 season would find him retiring from doing all Islanders home games. The main part of the equation for this decision came down to the Brooklyn native wanting to see more of his sons Ben and Simon and their broods. The duo reside in Portland, OR and Israel respectively. Having lost his wife Shirley back in 2014 after 38 years of marriage, Fischler looks to spend more time with his existing family. “I was blessed and very grateful to be able to do this for so long, but I decided that the time has come. I’m 86. I still love the business and feel very good about my still writing and doing less, but some TV, that will enable me to do both—be with the family and also keep my hand in hockey,” he explained. “I never want to not be doing hockey, because it almost comes with breathing. I was thinking about what I was going to write as the preview

Stan Fischler through the years. The Maven getting the goods from Pierre Larouche of the New York Rangers (top left), New York Islanders Captain Denis Potvin (top center), late Rangers coach Herb Brooks (top right) and Devils goalie Martin Brodeur (above) for Game 4 [of the Devils/Lightning series]. It’s almost been a reflex action since I started going to hockey games, which was 1939. What I’m hoping to do is have a better and more equitable balance with family and hockey.” While the former, by way of five grandchildren and their parents, rank as Fischler’s greatest accomplishments, his professional career is a staggering string of accomplishments. He’s written or co-written upwards of 100 books. And while the bulk are about the sport of hockey focused on players from the Rangers and Islanders along with other titans of the game including Maurice “Rocket” Richard, Gordie Howe and Don Cherry, Fischler has also penned tomes on the subway, baseball and

the Borscht Belt. But hockey has always been the driving force in his life, dating back to that first game and the positive aftermath he experienced in school the next day at Show & Tell. “The first game my father took me to in 1939 was a very exciting game. I remember the next day I went to school and the teacher asked us to do Show & Tell and she called on me,” he recalled. “I did [something on] the hockey goalie and she gave me an ‘A’ for that and hockey was my thing forever after that. Getting an ‘A’ for Show & Tell was like getting paid to do hockey later. It was special.” Fischler’s career path included a mid-1950s stint as a publicist for the New York Rangers and spending most of the 1960s as a newspaperman

for the Brooklyn Eagle, New York Journal-American and the Toronto Star. A broadcast opportunity working for the then-New England Whalers in the now-defunct World Hockey Association in 1973 led to him being hired by the New York Islanders in the same role in 1975. It’s a time he looks back at fondly, particularly when it comes to the notion of expansion. “If it wasn’t for expansion, I wouldn’t have been doing the Islanders stuff. How can you knock expansion when the Vegas team is in the playoffs?,” he asked. Retirement may be in the cards for Fischler, but fans of the Maven don’t have to worry about him completely going off the grid. He’ll still be popping up periodically as the sport that’s given him so much throughout his life is the octogenarian’s raison d’être. “I never said I was retiring from hockey or from journalism. If there’s anything that’s helped keep me young, it’s hockey. I’ve always felt the adrenaline rush that I get, not only from being at the games and talking to players, but it also goes over into the business of writing,” he pointed out. “It’s an exciting thing to figure out the lead, doing stuff for the website or even tweeting. Getting it right, getting it readable or capturing the audience when I’m on TV—it’s all part of an exciting business. I always felt that’s what’s kept me on the young side.” Visit www.longislandweekly.com to read a longer version of this story and about Stan Fischler’s favorite hockey players.
