For The Glory Of

Cheese BY STEVE MOSCO

SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

heese is a many-splendored thing. Aged or fresh, hard or soft, stinky or mild. In all of its various forms, cheese goes with everything except lactose intolerance. It’s served for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, pairs with wine, beer, meats and fruits, extravagantly served to guests or eaten alone in blissful solitude. According to various sources, including www.cheese.com, there are about 2,000 different cheeses in shops and markets around the world. Each one with its own texture, character and personality—all made mostly from the milk of cows and other mammals including sheep, goats, buffalo and even reindeer, camels and yaks. Since it was st cured in a sheep’s first stomach around 4,000 years ago, cheese has swept across the globe, becoming a culinary crown jewel, while also remaining humble enough for a processed version to be delivered via spray can. The flavor range for the more vigorous cheeses is almost impossible to fathom. There’s cheddar, with the strong Farmhouse variety being almost stunningly sharp with a rustic complexity reminiscent of an old barn.

Roquefort is another of the more robust cheeses, aggressively blue with an unmatched creamy texture. Then there’s Parmigiano-Reggiano, with its hard, gritty texture, nutty notes and bitter taste. Long Island has seen an uptick in cheese availability, with grocery stores like Kings Food Market and Whole Foods going beyond Kraft singles with entire sections devoted to gourmet cheeses. For cheeseheads who want an even wider array from a big box supermarket, Fairway leads all others. On the smaller scale, a smattering of cheese shops bring the mild, the stink, the musty funk and everything in between. C’est Cheese (216B Main St., Port Jefferson) is an all-encompassing shop with artisanal cheese, craft beer, boutique wines and a cheese-focused menu with cheese plates, charcuterie, salads and sandwiches. The Cheese Store of Cedarhurst (532 Central Ave.) is another great option—they also happen to serve some of the best iced coffee on the island. Back out east, Patchogue’s The Cheese Patch (20 E. Main St.) offers an indulgence of local and imported cheeses, along with wine and craft beer pairings. Even with an arduous creation process, cheese remains one of life’s simple, at times stinky, pleasures.

Hall Of Cheese Soft Cheese With Bloomy Rind Produced by leaving curdled milk to drain in molds for a few hours before it’s salted, then sprayed with cultures that produces its characteristic white and ﬂuffy rind— the bloom. Humbolt Fog, Brie and Camembert.

Soft Cheese With Washed Rind Some of the stinkiest cheeses, these cheeses are washed in a brine, beer, cider or wine along with bacteria while ripening. Taleggio, Limburger and Winnimere.

Hard Cheese Extreme aging processes leaves less moisture, but add complexity and depth of ﬂavor in addition to a dry, crumbly texture. ParmigianoReggiano, Pecorino and ﬁve-year Gouda.

Blue Vein Produced with cow’s milk, sheep’s milk or goat’s milk, blue vein cheeses are ripened with cultures of the mold penicillium. The ﬁnal product is characterized by green, grey, blue or black veins or spots of mold throughout the body. Roquefort, Gorgonzola and Stilton.

Semi-Hard Cheese A ﬁrm cheese that is washed, then drained and pressed to remove whey. Less moist due to the aging process. Cheddar, Gouda and Gruyere.

Pasta Filata A technique that sees cheese stretched and pulled, with a kneading treatment of fresh curd in hot water. Mozzarella, Provolone, Scamorza.

Fresh Cheese Not aged longer than 60 days, then pasteurized. Goat cheese, Ricotta and Mascarpone.

Bike-to-Work Fashion Parade

The Long Island alternative transportation advocacy organization, Car-less Long Island (CLLI), is holding its second annual Long Island Bike-to-Work Parade on Saturday, April 29. Gathering for the parade begins as 9 a.m. at Hofstra University’s North campus. The parade will follow a 6.5-mile loop beginning and ending at Hofstra University. There will be a route for pedestrians, disabled participants, cyclists with younger children and cyclists who simply would prefer a shorter ride. Participants are encouraged to dress up and adorn their bicycles. There will be a festival with prizes for the best costumes and bikes at the end of the parade. The festival leads into Hofstra University’s Dutch festival with food and flower vendors, music and rides for small children. “There are many reasons why Long Islanders should support alternative forms of transportation, such as biking,” says Car-less Long Island founder and chairwoman Sylvia Silberger, of Hempstead. “Clearly it is much more environmentally friendly and bicycle commuters are able to incorporate a healthier active

Chris Stanley, Mark Gouch, Kelly Schmidt, Sharon Stanley and Tom Culkin unable to drive or own their own cars, and we all benefit if everyone has access to the transportation necessary to survive in this world.” The bike parade is officially listed as a sister march to the People’s Climate March on Washington the same day. CLLI was founded in the summer of 2015 as a project of the Ethical Humanist Society of Long Island. “It seems I have often found myself in conversations with other Long Islanders who would like to be able to get around without a car but are frustrated

lifestyle into their daily routine. But also, it reduces vehicular congestion, benefiting all motorists, and many studies have shown that walk- and bike-ability helps local businesses thrive. There are also many Long Islanders who need alternative forms of transportation because they are

by the danger and inconvenience inherent in alternative modes of transportation,” said Silberger. Even though it was threatening rain, attendees had a great time during the First Bike-to-Work parade last year. Silberger founded CLLI to counter the “nihilistic feeling that this is just how Long Island is—we are a car culture and that will never change.” She is optimistic that the Bike-to-Work Fashion Parade will allow Long Islanders who would like Long Island to be a more bike-friendly community realize that they are not alone. Participation in the parade is completely free, but participants are encouraged to register in advance at www.Car-LessLI.org/ parade. More information about the parade such as maps and information about volunteering and helping to sponsor the parade can found on that page as well.

No Matter What You’re Going Through, You’re Worth Something On March 9, 2017 I had the honor of introducing Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, a founding member of the early hip hop group Run-D.M.C. Young and old of all backgrounds gathered together at the Leeds Place of North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center in Westbury for a community forum. If you don’t already know, DMC is a hip hop pioneer, a rap poet and an inspiring prophet. The packed house at the Leeds Place got to experience all three in a two-hour tour-de-force in which McDaniels taught us about the history of hip hop, delighted us with rap lyrics and moved us with intimate stories of resiliency. When I introduced McDaniels, I told the audience that I learned that his favorite things to do as a child were to read comic books and pretend to be a superhero. In fact, I told them, he now produces comic books under the DMC—Darryl Makes Comics—label. McDaniels’ comics are not about traditional superheroes like Batman, Superman, Spiderman or the Incredible Hulk. Darryl, I

PARENTHOOD PLUS Andrew Malekoff

learned, believes that there are heroes in everyday life with powerful stories to tell. Just like everyone in the room tonight, I said. McDaniels is 52 years old, six feet tall and solidly built, with muscular arms bulging from his tight black t-shirt. He spoke for two hours without a break, moving about energetically without breaking a sweat. He inspired the crowd with the story of when he was a young boy growing up in Hollis, Queens, and he was a self-described Catholicschool nerd who wore thick-framed glasses and read comic books all the time. He said he liked school. He gave a great history lesson about the birth and meaning of hip hop. He described how

neighborhood kids who had little in the way of physical resources brought music and art to the parks and streets by plugging turntables and speakers into light poles, making dance floors out of cardboard boxes and creating street art by painting and drawing on walls. In his talk, McDaniels encouraged the young people in the room with transcendent and core messages of hip hop: “Always be open to do something different. It could change your life.” McDaniels spoke about his unexpected rise to fame and fortune, exhorting the young people to develop what they like to do, try new things, take chances and, most important, to know that “no matter what you’re going through, you’re worth something.” He went on to say that despite his early rise to fame and fortune, at the age of 35 he discovered that he was adopted and was a foster child. Around the same time he went through a period of suicidal depression and became addicted to alcohol. When he finally sought professional help, he discovered that he

had been suppressing powerful feelings his whole life, especially things that angered him. Despite the powerful lyrics in his raps, he said that he never wanted to make waves in his personal relationships. Some of the lessons he learned were: “You have to express your truth. It’s normal to feel. Release what you’re going through. Your situation doesn’t define who you are.” In time, with the help of his adoptive parents, McDaniels met his biological mom who told him that she gave him up so that he could have a better life. In the end, before McDaniels patiently signed autographs, posed for photos and chatted with kids and parents, I closed the meeting by saying, “DMC gave his music to the world. And, tonight Darryl gave us his heart.” Andrew Malekoff is the executive director of North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center, which provides comprehensive mental health services for children from birth through 24 and their families.

LONG ISLAND WATERS BY RYAN SCHLICHTER

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

Long Island saltwater fishing is beginning to come alive with the arrival of schoolie bass as well as a few looking to break through to keeper size. Flounder have also had a good week, not that many anglers have been crushing them, but most are coming away with a couple each trip out. Bait fish seem to be stacking up well in all waters and with the warm weather streak we’ve seen this week, it should be any day now that the bite breaks out.

Metro NY

At Stella Maris, Stretch reports that anglers have been picking up flounder off the Plum Beach Flats as well as near the Crossbay Bridge. Clams have received the best response here. Off the same bridge, bass have been coming into play as well, hitting live bunker. In Great Kills, the stripers are hitting live bunker from shore and the always popular Mojo rigs for any boats looking to work a little trolling.

South Shore

In Oceanside, at River Bay Outfitters, Paul is excited about the way things are shaping up in both the saltwater and fresh. Out of Jones Beach, there have been some decent bass showing

up with nearly keepers outside the inlet and quite a few schoolers inside. Friends of the shop have found fish using fly rods from shore and off a kayak. On the fresh water side, a local pond offered up four bass to an angler this week with the biggest fish weighing about three pounds. Trout are stocked

and on the prowl in the parks and the perch and pickerel bite continues to improve each day as well. At Sea Isle Custom Rod Builders, Robert has been receiving reports of schoolie bass on both sides of the Island in the bays. The bigger fish have been showing up in New Jersey and should be making their way north any day now. Small plugs and soft plastic grubs or paddle-tail shad have had no problem producing results and should only get hotter as we move forward. Brendan from Captree Bait Shop has had schoolies in locally and hears there are bigger bass to be had in the Fire Island Inlet. The flounder fishing has also picked up here after a slow start to the season as the boats continue to make the trip out when not focusing on the early bass bite. Clams are the way to go for the flatties and although the fishing isn’t what it was in years past, it seems to be one of the better years in recent memory so it’s best to get them while it’s good. In Wantagh, at Causeway Bait and

Tackle, there has been a mix of flounder and schoolies working the local bait schools and flats. Great South Bay has been the most targeted waters and hasn’t disappointed. The fishing has yet to really take off but the early signs are promising and as we know from recent years, these waters always have a way of producing high quality fish and never wasting a day on the water.

East End

On the North Fork, at Miller Place Bait and Tackle, Jim reports that the back harbors have been offering plenty of small bass with the biggest coming in at 22 inches thus far. These fish have fallen victim mostly to the soft plastics. Smith Point Bridge has begun to get hot as well with a mix of bass and blues working their way through. In Hampton Bays, at White Water Outfitters, Bryce has seen lots of local bass under the 105 Bridge and Quogue Canal. These fish still seem to be the winter holdovers but a bite is a bite at this point in the season. Flounder fishing has been decent in the Quogue Canal also.

Making Long Island A More Welcoming Community

Raju Rajan and Sonia Arora first made Port Washington their home in 2011, along with their young son, Kabeera. Arora is a teaching artist, doing residencies in local schools focusing on literature, oral history and filmmaking. Rajan works for HewlettPackard, implementing transformative technologies for large global companies. Both are immigrants from India, and while they have both built successful careers, their journeys to the United States were vastly different. Arora’s family left Ludhiana, India in 1971 and came to New Jersey when she was just two years old. Her father came to this country to work as a skilled engineer and to give his children a better future. The family then moved to New York where Arora attended school and went on to graduate from Stony Brook University. She received her Masters at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Rajan arrived in the United States in 1988 from the seaside city of Chennai in southern India to study at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he received his Ph.D in electrical engineering. Leaving his tropical home to live in Wisconsin was a bit of a “climate shock” for Rajan, like experiencing snow for the first time. “Yeah it was pretty weird, it was fun. I had never lived away from the sea, so I never lived inland. It was very different, but on the other hand, it had a fairly strong tradition of Indian students coming for computer science.” Even though both are from India, Arora is Punjabi and Rajan is Tamil, meaning they speak different languages and come from vastly different cultures. “Practically every state in India has its own language, has a different food, ethnicity, dance, culture, etc.” explained Rajan. “So it’s almost like going from Punjab to where I live would be the difference between, I don’t know,

LONG ISLAND WINS Maryann Sinclair Slutsky Scandinavia and Italy.” Despite their different cultures, religions and journeys to the United States, Arora and Rajan connected through their passion for activism. In fact, that’s how they met. “We actually met within the whole activism scene. I was working in Boston, I had just gotten my graduate degree in education, and I was transitioning to New York,” said Arora. “That’s when Raju and I met.” They worked on a youth solidarity summer camp for Indian-Americans, where they became friends before falling in love and getting married. Arora attributes her progressive values and political activism to her education and culture, but also her religion. “Some of it really comes from being a Sikh, for me, just valuing community, valuing justice, valuing a sense of equality between people. A lot of it comes from all the wonderful communities that I’ve been a part of through my life.” She also talks about always feeling like she was “on the margins” and sees it as an advantage. “I never really felt like I belonged anywhere, so that was part of it. And the other part of it is just feeling discrimination, experiencing it in school, or being attacked for who you are, people not understanding where you come from,” explained Arora. For Rajan, it was growing up in India. “My parents came from the India independence generation, they came from the generation which, when they were just growing up was just when

Sonia Arora and Raju Rajan India had attained independence, so they were pretty nationalistic and anti-colonial in their thinking, and that’s always been part of my upbringing... But at some point, I questioned the corruptions within those movements in a certain way. So I have always been political.” Arora and Rajan began their married life in the Bronx and then moved to Philadelphia, where they joined a progressive group of immigrants, artists and activists who started a charter school for recent immigrant families. “This community,” Arora said, “It had a very progressive political vision, it really wanted to embrace the whole child. Language was really important, culture was very important. The point was not to assimilate, the point was to integrate and to bring your culture.” Now living on Long Island, they believe it can be a more welcoming and integrated community through efforts in schools and other community institutions. “I feel like our institutions need to be leaders in terms of embracing

[immigrants],” said Arora, “I mean, I can be kind to my neighbor and welcome them, but that’s not enough. It has to come down from the leadership of our schools and our community organizations.” The couple formed Long Island Together, a group of progressives that organizes events in order to “affirm diversity and protect vulnerable communities through interconnected activism.” “We all decided to come together and start organizing, and fortunately I have come across so many wonderful people,” Arora said. Rajan echoed his wife’s sentiment: “You have to work within your communities, like in Port Washington and Nassau. There are different kinds of diversity that do exist within our communities, and [we are] glad for the people we have found.” Maryann Sinclair Slutsky is the executive director of Long Island WINS.

ARBOR DAY IS APRIL 28

Top 10 Arbor Day Nursery Trees BY SHEEREEN OTHMAN editorial@antonmediagroup.com

Still need help deciding which trees and shrubs to add to your landscape this year? In several hardiness zones, the time for planting is now. Check out the top 10 most popular trees sold through the Arbor Day Tree Nursery and see which trees are perfect for your landscape.

North Privet

(Ligustrum x ibolium) This deciduous or semi-evergreen shrub is America’s fastest-growing hedge, growing up to three inches per year. The shrub’s dense, dark, glossy green foliage makes it an excellent choice for hedges and privacy screens. If you’re interested in a hedge with a formal appearance, this privet tolerates shearing well. When you grow it as a hedge, shearing it early and often helps to develop thick layers of branches for year-round privacy.

American Arborvitae

(Thuja occidentalis) This native evergreen is a hardworking, versatile specimen. The narrow, pyramid shape makes it a natural choice for windbreaks. It requires almost no care when used as a hedge or screen. Pairs of these hardy trees make great accents for doors and garden gates. And single trees soften house corners. Tall and elegant, the American arborvitae may be the right solution to your landscaping challenges.

Canadian Hemlock

(Tsuga Canadensis) This hemlock is one of our members’ favorites for privacy screens and hedges because of its handsome, graceful appearance and ability to be sheared to any height or shape. The tree is also one of only few evergreens that can handle full sun and full shade, though it prefers a site where it can receive both shade and sun. If you’re in need of an evergreen landscape tree for a privacy screen, grouping or foundation planting, the Canadian hemlock may be a good solution.

Green Giant Arborvitae

(Thuja standishii x plicata ‘Green Giant’) The green giant arborvitae is a large, vigorous, fast-growing evergreen—shooting up by as much as three feet per year until maturity. Its natural pyramidal to conical form boasts dense, rich green foliage that darkens or bronzes slightly in the winter. This is an exceptional landscape tree for use as a screen, hedge or single specimen. It is also resistant to wind once established and can withstand heavy ice or snow, making it a good choice for a natural windbreak.

Eastern Redcedar

(Juniperus virginiana) The eastern redcedar tree is a common sight throughout most of the plains states and eastern United States on road cuts, in fence rows and scattered across abandoned fields—especially where limestone soils are present. It is an aromatic tree, with reddish wood giving off the scent of cedar chests and crushed fruit providing a whiff of the gin they once flavored. Thanks to its tolerance of heat, salt, a wide range of soils and other adverse conditions, the eastern redcedar can be put to good use on the farm in windbreaks and in city landscapes for hedges, screens, clumps or even as specimen trees.

Hybrid Poplar

(Populus deltoides x Populus nigra) Hybrid poplars are the thoroughbreds of the tree world. Their claim to fame is speed, with vertical growth of five to eight feet per year not being uncommon. This cottonless hybrid can be harvested for firewood in five to seven years, making it a sustainable source. It also works well for visual screens and hillside or sand dune stabilization. While nice for quick shade, the hybrid poplar should only be planted in landscape where occasional limb breakage is not a problem.

National Tree-Planting Holiday Inspires BY DANNY COHN editorial@antonmediagroup.com

April 28, 2017 marks the 145th celebration of Arbor Day. A holiday established in 1872 in Nebraska City to inspire people to plant trees, it became a legal holiday in 1885. To help people across the country get more easily involved in celebrating the country’s first environmental holiday, the Arbor Day Foundation has launched celebratearborday.com.

People can visit the website to see what is going on in their local community as well as to plant trees and plan their own Arbor Day celebrations. “Arbor Day is that one day every year reminding us to think about all that trees do for us—a day for reflection and for action,” said Dan Lambe, president, Arbor Day Foundation. “On April 28, communities across the country will come together to plant, nurture and celebrate trees.” During the month of April, to

help all Americans commemorate Arbor Day, Unilever and Ahold are planting a tree in the nation’s forests for any unique social post featuring “#Arborday”—at least 20,000 trees. Visitors to celebratearborday.com can watch the number of trees planted increase on the website’s “Treemometer.” Lambe added, “We invite you to set differences aside, grab a shovel and make a positive impact in your community by planting a tree.”

Colorado Blue Spruce

(Picea pungens) One of our most popular ornamental conifers, the Colorado blue spruce (or simply, blue spruce) is a truly magnificent sight. Its silvery blue-green coloring and perfect Christmas tree shape make this tree a great landscaping focal point on commercial and residential properties. It is also widely used for privacy or a windbreak.

Eastern White Pine

Blue Hydrangea

(Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Nikko’) The blue hydrangea is the image most of us conjure up in our heads when we think of hydrangeas in general. It is a timeless landscape plant that is beloved by many, including Martha Stewart. Giant, long-lasting, mophead blooms appear in the summer, adding lovely color to the landscape. These shrubs work well as stand-alone specimens or as a hedge.

Forsythia

(Forsythia x intermedia) There’s no better way to welcome the coming of spring than with the profusion of yellow blooms covering graceful, arching branches. The forsythia is a fast-growing, hardy shrub that blooms early—providing a sunny sight before the rest of the landscape greens up. Forsythias make an excellent choice for those wanting a fast-growing flowering hedge. For best results, plant forsythia 4-6 feet apart when creating your hedge.

(Pinus strobus) The eastern white pine has played a very important role throughout the history of America. In colonial days, the best of the trees were set apart by the king for masts on British ships. As the nation grew, the lumber of white pines built homes and businesses. Today it is still a valuable commercial tree but also favored in parks and spacious yards—both for its beauty and its fast growth. It has also been named the state tree of both Maine and Michigan.

Build Self Esteem Self esteem, which greatly impacts behavior, is a person’s perception of the self in terms of satisfaction and abilities. Self esteem is formed by both the child’s own perception and by the perception of those around the child. Children with high self-esteem typically develop into productive, well-adjusted adults. Below are some tips to help build your child’s positive self-image:

Step Aside

Allow your child to take risks and to problem solve by working out conflicts or problems without stepping in to rescue. Your child’s confidence will build when he faces challenges and solves issues independently. While you can offer assistance, resist taking over and solving the problem. When your child makes a mistake or does not succeed at something, he should feel supported and safe. Help him process what happened and assess how to be successful in the future. Shift the focus from shame or failure to ways of obtaining control and determining what can be done in the future to obtain success. Praise your child for making the effort to

try versus focusing on the failure. Encourage your child to take chances and accept responsibility for the choices. Remember that struggles and failure do not have to crush self esteem. They can actually be a great tool to help build it.

Offer Responsibilities

Give your child responsibilities that allow him to showcase his competence. When he contributes around the house, he feels like a valuable and productive member of the family. Set attainable goals, and offer support and praise as he works towards the goal.

Pursuing Interests

Encouraging your children to pursue activities or tasks in which they demonstrate interest can help increase

Early Childhood (age 5-6) Young Artist (age 7-10)

Mature Artist (age 11-14) Two Sessions:

Praise what your child can control versus what he cannot. Being praised for qualities they cannot control (intellect and athleticism) can lead children to avoid challenges that threaten their reputation. Furthermore, if children are being praised for succeeding at a task when they know they are not, they will learn to mistrust their instincts. Praising them for the effort they put in when they are working hard is something they can control, no matter what the outcome. When praise is specific and earned, it can boost confidence.

Unconditional Love

Self esteem comes from feeling love and security. They form the foundation from which confidence grows. Communicate that your love is not based on how well your children perform or whether or not they succeed.

Talk Positively About Your Child

Children’s self-image comes not only from how they view themselves, but from how others perceive them. Do you speak to and about your child in a positive manner? Do you make him feel like you enjoy being around him? Do you demonstrate respect for his opinions and feelings? Talk positively about your child to other people and allow your child to hear this positive talk. If your child demonstrates unacceptable behavior, criticize the behavior not the person. Experiences that lead to a child’s feeling capable, accepted and effective help build self-esteem. To build a positive self-concept, support independence and goal-setting; praise process instead of the product; make a child feel accepted and unconditionally loved.

Why Girl Scout Camping Is Awesome

Camp Blue Bay Girls Sleepaway Camp East Hampton, NY Come enjoy the great outdoors on 179 scenic acres in East Hampton, featuring Gardiner’s Bay beachfront and numerous hiking trails with girls your age!

BY JILLIAN KOSTAL

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Every year I get super excited when I register and count down the days till I am back at camp. Being part of Girl Scouts since I was a Daisy has taught me to be independent and more grown up, so I have learned to pack my own bag. I have to fit everything into one big duffle bag: pack two weeks of clothes, a sleeping bag, sheets, beach and bath towels, toiletries, flashlights, stationary with pre-stamped envelopes and books. No food though—food is not allowed at camp because all of the wildlife around camp. Being at camp has also taught me how to have manners especially at the table and during cookout kapers (meal prep chores). Camp Blue Bay (CBB) has taught me so much every summer that I want to continue to grow and give back: this summer I’ll be a counselor in training (CIT). Camp is on Gardiner’s Bay in East Hampton, so every day we go swimming. Every other day we go sailing, and it is always beautiful out on the bay. On the other side of camp is the Creek. The Creek is where you can go row boating, canoeing, kayaking or paddleboarding. CBB is all girls, secluded, peaceful and filled with fun. At camp my favorite rule is no electronics. All of our interactions are face-to-face; you get to know people, listen to them and learn to read their body language. Every year I meet so many different girls and make new friends. From the moment of waiting for the camp buses, I am so excited to reunite with old friends and make new friends. I have made many friends at camp but I have made one that is my best friend. She lives in Brooklyn and I live in Oceanside; if it was not for camp and being a Girl Scout I probably would never have met her. The counselors, many who would have never met either, are from overseas. They are part of a program called Camp America which sends young overseas leaders to America to experience camp counseling. I have had counselors from England, Scotland, Australia, Wales and

Jillian Kostal is a Senior Girl Scout in Troop 2228. America. The counselors from overseas have accents and odd expressions that are fun to learn. They say suncream (sunscreen), sunnies (sunglasses), bathing costume (bathing suit), wellies (rainboots) and much more. They are all extremely nice and caring. Meeting them has opened my eyes to see that even though we may not live in the same country, we’re all just people living life. Every day we go to the dining hall for meals, but on some days we have a cookout—one of my favorite meal times because we get to stay with our group of girls and make our own food. We learn how to prepare food, make a fire, and watch it for safety and keep it going. We complete our kapers chart—assigned chores: bathroom cleaning, picking up trash in the unit, and cleaning up the meal. At cookout we do fun activities like arts and crafts, baking, games and sports. When I first went to camp I was a little scared and nervous, but when I got there I realized it was made for girls just to have fun. I enjoy my summers without distractions, always come home happier, more confident in myself, and just a bit tanner. I have learned to trust in myself, be independent, and enjoy receiving letters from family and friends. I truly believe that Girl Scout camp is awesome and I think that if you’re a Girl Scout or want to be an independent young lady have your parent sign you up. Come enjoy camp with me; maybe I’ll even be your CIT.

Where Classical Meets Contemporary Young artist summer program at The Long Island Academy of Fine Art

The Long Island Academy of Fine Art is again holding a Young Artist Summer Program, running weekly from July 10 through Aug. 25. This summer program is open to students entering third through seventh grades, and it runs Monday through Thursday or Friday, with half- or full-day options. Teenagers are invited to create a customized program during the regular summer semester (July 10 - Sept. 3) that suits their individual interests and needs. The school is located at 14 Glen St., Glen Cove. Students who are rising third- through seventh-graders have the unique opportunity to learn classical and technical skills rarely available to their age group. Starting July 10, two workshops will run per week—a morning class and an afternoon class. Students can choose one half-day class, or both for an all-day art camp experience. Each workshop allows students to delve into art forms and materials with art professionals who come to share their particular area of expertise in drawing and painting, ceramics, paper arts, and toy production. Some workshops focus on improving skills with traditional drawing and painting, such as the Fundamentals workshops, while others encourage creativity and

exploration while still learning a new skill-set, such as Paper Arts. “Beginners are welcome,” said co-director Rebecca Forster. “We believe that every child and adult can learn how to draw, given the right environment. What drives us at LIAFA is not the number of students we have, but the quality and depth of education we offer and our passion for art. We intentionally keep our classes small so that our teachers have time to give each student individualized attention and guidance.” Each camp session is limited to only eight students. Discounts are available for multiple weeks and for siblings who register together. Pricing information may be found online. The serious

teenage student can also enjoy exclusive art training at LIAFA. During the summer our teenagers join our adult or teen portfolio development classes for weekly classes, or LIAFA can work with each student on a customized program according to the student’s interests and schedule, called the

Teen Intensive. For registration and information, call Rebecca Forster at 516-590-4324. The Long Island Academy of Fine Art is dedicated to the advancement of classical art for students of all ages and experience levels. LIAFA also offers year-round adult classes and High School Portfolio Development courses.

New Hospice Program At Parker Jewish Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation has launched a volunteer hospice doula program that provides emotional support and comfort to people who are approaching their final days. Parker Jewish Institute is looking for people who would like to volunteer as a doula, going out to patients’ homes and extending the hand of reassurance, offering a smile that warms the heart and the words that say everything will be okay. Volunteer doulas will help patients and families cope with the process of dying, remaining at the bedside as life ends. “Doula” is a Greek word that means “woman servant or caregiver.” Today it is associated with individuals who provide physical assistance and emotional support during and/or after childbirth. This proposed program aims to mirror the concept by providing the same type of support at the final phase of a terminal illness. This initiative will place a focus on planning for death with the elderly patient and family if there is one, and will provide a continuous around the clock vigil as death becomes imminent. The program will help the elderly patient who lacks family or adequate caregiver support to die comfortably, without fear of being alone. Even when surrounded by loved ones, individuals with a terminal illness and those closest to them may feel isolated as they face the end of life. As the end of life approaches, patients and families struggle with anxiety and fear; exhaustion; loved ones often feel alone, unprepared and afraid; and opportunities to explore meaning go unaddressed. Hospice doulas provide emotional support and comfort to patients and their loved ones in the final phase of a terminal illness. Doulas typically work as part of a team so that someone is always available to be with the person who is dying. They usually sit quietly with a patient, talk with them and offer support, comfort and companionship. Volunteers receive training that teaches techniques for the best ways to support a dying person, strategies to relieve overburdened family members, how to organize a “legacy project” to help capture the patient’s life, assisting at the moment of death and helping loved ones process their grief in the weeks that follow. Call the The Parker Institute’s program coordinator at 718-289-2134, or email volunteer-nerken@parkerinstitute.org to learn more about the program and to attend a seminar.

CLASSROOM

This week’s lesson plan is brought to you by The Hagedorn Little Village School

This Week’s Newspaper In Education: Media Group initiative to enhance our children’s Anton Lesson Plan: An Anton learning experience through community news

Health

Among the topics that get regularly covered in all facets of the newspaper business are stories having to do with health and wellness. Chalk it up to the fact that living healthy lives is something that affects all people and as such, features that touch on topics having to do with this are not only widely read, but shared and disseminated. It can range from pieces that deal with government and health agency studies that reveal the benefit or detriment of a certain kind of food and recalls of defective consumer products to medical advancements in the areas of pharmaceuticals and surgical procedures. The following are exercises students can do to get experience in the different facets of health and science that wind up making up the content of a newspaper.

Local News In The Classroom

• Find stories about accidents and write safety tips on how they could have been prevented. Write a skit to demonstrate your safety tips to the rest of the class. • Pretend you are living 200 years from now. What has happened to the world because of pollution? Write a news article telling about this future world. (Review news stories in this week’s newspaper to learn the elements of news writing style.) • Create a machine that you think would save energy. Write a news story telling about you invention.

Holiday Mathis Holiday Mathis Mathis HOROSCOPES ByByByHoliday

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND In The Rainforest

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You didn’t have to learn that people are equal; you were born knowing this. You may acknowledge that someone has more money or less status while at the same time demonstrating that such things do not affect the value of any person. None are better, none are lesser. Spread the word to confused people.

Solution: 26 Letters

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re focused on bettering the lives of your loved ones. The obvious ways of doing this aren’t necessarily the best ways. That’s where your brilliance comes in. You care for people like only you can. You fulfill needs uniquely -- sometimes needs that people didn’t even realize they had until you came along. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s a great deal of influence being exerted on you. This may be due to a lot of people expecting a little from you or just one person with an exceedingly heavy expectation. Do not accept their premises. Reclaim your power and stand in it. If it satisfies others but doesn’t feel good to you, it’s wrong. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It takes a creative mind to connect the seemingly unconnected. That’s you. You’ve such a strong drive to make sense of this week’s inconsistencies, eclectic gatherings, wildly varied resources and disparate parts that you’ll find it impossible to keep yourself from the challenge of making sense of it all. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Actually choosing to do the thing you said you wanted to do may be hard. But it will only be hard the first time -- and the next 10 times, and the 10 times after that. Soon enough, it ceases to be hard. It ceases to be a choice, actually. It just becomes who you are when you’re “doing you.” You’re moving forward incrementally! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Like a child who loves to build a fort with friends, you delight in having a hand in creating your shelter and sharing the experience. Maybe you’ll share an umbrella with a friend or set a space for dining. Your freedom to take control of the surroundings and choose your company will bring great joy to your life this week. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The next generation is close behind you, looking to you for guidance. The best leaders are the ones who ultimately render leadership unnecessary. It would be wrong to make them dependent on you. Teach them everything until they are strong and capable. Don’t hold back. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The battery inside you is rechargeable. If left in the drawer unused, it will deplete. You work best when you apply yourself. Don’t be too precious with your energy. Don’t worry about wasting it on silly things. There’s an intelligence at work in you that will gravitate toward energizing endeavors, silly or not. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Don’t be surprised if you cannot single out the problem. What’s occurred has happened out of a confluence of circumstances. As the naturalist John Muir suggested, “When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.” Luckily for you, solutions will be similarly hitched. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A relationship that works for what seems like strictly practical reasons (i.e., a shared bit of timing, a conveniently located connection point, an unusually strong common interest) is also mystically interlaced. You’ll see evidence of it this week. Unexpected and unexplainable feelings will arise from the bond. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Lots of bitter things pair nicely with sweet things: coffee, chocolate and relationships, to name just a few. So don’t waste time complaining about any one of life’s ingredients. Even terribly intense ingredients can make the recipe sing if used in small quantities and balanced out by more substantial and conventional elements. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Lately it seems that no goal achieved can fully satisfy you, as success flips instantaneously into a new goal. Slow the roll if you can. Stop and celebrate the good of right now. It’s not a landmark or a natural time for rewards, and that’s precisely why this is important. Life is precious for no particular reason. Believe it!

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You go into this solar return with the kind of boldness and vibrancy that will lead to acts of heroism. The next six weeks will bring a new bouquet of uplifting outlets for your exceptionally active mind and body. You’ll be enticed by exciting work in May. Singles are more prone to love at first sight in June and October. The commitment you make to family will augment your financial luck through a seemingly unrelated chain of events. Intoxicating public praise comes in August. COPYRIGHT 2017 CREATORS.COM

Jimmy Webb: A Life Lived In New Memoir BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

Jimmy Webb at the Helsinki Festival

DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Among Jimmy Webb’s many accomplishments are his being the only artist to win Grammy Awards in music, lyrics and orchestration. And while his name may not be instantaneously recognizable, his songs are—”Up, Up and Away,” “MacArthur Park,” “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” “Galveston,” “Wichita Lineman” and “Didn’t We.” With the success of these compositions having come at a time when Webb was in his late teens and early 20s in the mid-to late-1960s, it’s no surprise that the now-70-year-old singer-songwriter has just released his memoir of those times entitled The Cake and The Rain (St. Martin’s Press). Having already penned a book on songcraft (1998’s Tunesmith: Inside the Art of Songwriting), the Oklahoma native felt it was time to share stories he’d been jotting down over time. “I’ve always logged these stories mentally thinking that they might be something I might want to tell some time. In examining my memory, I realized that my story intersected some of the important events that happened in the 1960s in a very

The ORIGINAL PSYCHIC FAIR

out of the three-minute song capsule that songwriters live in. Writing songs is really the art of miniaturization. All of a sudden, it was the idea that it would be a lot of fun to kick those fences down and write creatively about my own life. I have a couple of stories here that are worth telling and once I made the decision that it was possible to write a memoir, it was inevitable that I would do it.” Webb shares fascinating stories about encounters and relationships, both professional and personal, he had with Louis Armstrong, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Glen Campbell and each of the Beatles. Along the way, Webb also was either witness to or had a connection with numerous cultural events—the Monterey Pop Festival, the Tate murders and John Lennon’s infamous lost weekend. Webb takes a warts-and-all path not only with those he writes about, but with himself. “If you’re going to tell the nasty truth about somebody else, you really must tell the tale on yourself first. And I know that I did it to the best of my ability. I leaned way over backwards to punch myself in the mouth when I

felt I needed punishment in the book and I certainly let the reader know that,” he said. While Webb’s next birthday won’t be coming around until Aug. 15, his wife, Laura Savini, helped pull together A Celebration of the Music of Jimmy Webb: The Cake and the Rain, a May 3 benefit that will be held at Carnegie Hall. With longtime friends Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones servings as hosts, musical guests will include Judy Collins, Art Garfunkel, Toby Keith, Graham Nash, Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis of the Fifth Dimension, Dwight Yoakam, Johnny Rivers, Ashley Campbell (daughter of Glen) and other guests to be announced. Concert proceeds will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Association and the I’ll Be Me Foundation in honor of Webb’s friend Campbell, who is in the final stages of the disease. It’s a cause that’s dear to the septuagenarian singer-songwriter’s heart and gibes with so much of what he wrote about in a memoir that he admits was very liberating to write. “The net proceeds will go to the Alzheimer’s Association for Research and the I’ll Be Me Foundation, which concentrates their philanthropy on the caregivers, which is really where the burden falls in the Alzheimer’s equation,” Webb said. “There’s a wonderful group of people who have volunteered to come in and it’s an ersatz celebration of my seventieth birthday with people that I’ve worked with in the studio. What started out as a tribute to me has turned out to be a celebration of music and musicmakers. In a way, it’s cohesive with my book because a lot of these artists and a lot of these songs are laid out in detail in the book, which wound up being great therapy.” Jimmy Webb and guests will be appearing on May 3 as part of City Winery presents A Celebration of the Music of Jimmy Webb at Carnegie Hall, 881 Seventh Ave., NYC.
