LL Cool J Gets His Swerve On BY JENNIFER FAUCI

ong Island loves LL Cool J. The G.O.A.T. rapper and actor has deep roots on Long Island, having been born in Bayshore and currently residing in Manhasset. But LL Cool J (which stands for Ladies Love Cool James) decided he wanted a life in music long ago, at the age of 9 when the world-renowned rapper began creating demos using equipment gifted to him by his grandfather, a jazz saxophonist. “Long Island has a lot of great hip hop artists and has already had a huge hip hop culture very early on,” said LL Cool J, who listened to the early days of The Cold Crush Brothers and the Force MDs. “That early development influenced people like Public Enemy, EPMD, a lot of those groups.” Growing up on Long Island and then moving to Queens, LL Cool J always felt that the island was “going towards the good life.” “The sports, fresh air and just having a lot of fun,” he said of Long Island. “I still have a lot of friends in the North Babylon area. Gotta love Strong Island.” The rapper came of age during the early days of hip hop, a time when it was truly just about making music and creating magic. He said that back then, “hip hop was all about the heart and the craft.” “It wasn’t focused on money and business and entrepreneurship as it was on creativity and trying to make the best songs you could,” he said. “People measure success differently now.” For LL Cool J, he measures his success by one simple mantra: just doing the best he can. Heavily influenced by his Long Island upbringing (including Busta Rhymes, who was part of the local rap scene), he humbly attributes his good fortune to every step that got him here. “There really wasn’t a pivotal moment, but when

you complete a marathon, every step matters,” he said, adding that the key was getting his big break with record producer Rick Rubin. Last year, LL Cool J was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Reflecting on his accomplishments and what it took to get here, the rapper shared his three favorite records: Radio (his debut album), Bigger and Deffer and Mr. Smith. “My first record will always be special because that was my big break. My second, I go in a totally different direction,” he said. “At the same time, I can’t narrow it down, that’s not how art works. I do the best I can at the time. It’s pure creativity.” LL Cool J’s gratitude and humble personality are why so many fans and celebrities alike gravitate towards him. Those traits also made him the perfect choice to host Lip Sync Battle. “Hosting Lip Sync Battle is a lot of fun. I get to listen to music all day and hang out with cool people and just enjoy myself,” said LL Cool J, who has been hosting the show that was inspired by the skit on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Created by Stephen Merchant and John Krasinski, Lip Sync Battle pits two celebrities against one another as they battle it out to see who can deliver the best lip sync performance. “For me, it’s fun to just get out there and watch the celebrities go head to head,” said LL Cool J, who has been the host since 2015. Out of the recording studio, LL Cool J stars as Special Agent Sam Hanna on NCIS: Los Angeles, which is a long way from his days in Krush Groove. “NCIS: Los Angeles is a lot of fun. I’ve studied a lot and I love bringing characters to life,” he said. “I never want to get to the point where I’m taking myself too seriously; I always want to laugh and have fun and for now, I’m just chillin’.” Catch LL Cool J on Lip Sync Battle on Thursdays at 10/9c on Spike.

The Big

Wave Long Beach surfer earns spot in competition BY JENNIFER FAUCI

Will Skudin will compete in the Big Wave Tour (Photo by Matt Furman) World Surf League (WSL) and is scheduled to run three events: the Puerto Escondido Challenge in Mexico; Peahi “Jaws” Challenge in Hawaii and the Nazaré Challenge in Portugal. Always having a good time first and foremost in his craft, Skudin understands the danger that comes with riding waves and how at any second, he can bottom out. “During a wipeout you really have to stay calm. If you panic you die. I try to just relax and let the wave do its thing,” said Skudin. “We are trained to gauge

our oxygen levels during these heavy situations to stay alive. It’s one of the few sports that if you go unconscious your life is on the line.” Skudin comes from a long lineage of Long Island surfers. The world recognized Big Wave Surfer teaches surfing and along with his brother Cliff, co-owns SkudinSurf. They also run Surf For All, a nonprofit that takes kids and adults with disabilities out on the ocean to learn to surf. To follow the tour, visit www.worldsurfleague.com.

ong Beach surfer Will Skudin has been making waves lately. The surf star recently finished eighth in the world and earned an official spot representing the USA on the 2017 Big Wave Tour in May. Not only is Skudin a Long Islander, making him an anomaly in his own right, he is the first ever competitor from the Northeast. After more than six years of traveling the globe catching 60-foot waves, Skudin is one of eight surfers from around the world who earned a place in the competition. “I am stoked to be on tour this year and very grateful for all the support I have from my community,” he said of his fellow Long Beach Long Islanders. “All I can do is train to the best of my ability and be prepared for the opportunity when it arises. Understanding that the outcome is out of my hands by putting myself second to fate.” The Big Wave World Tour is organized by the

Overdose Leads To Major Drug Bust Authorities seize thousands in fentanyl and ketamine

BY NICOLE LOCKWOOD nlockWood@antonmediagroup.com

The Nassau County Police Department, in conjunction with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Association (DEA) and the Nassau County District Attorney, announced the seizure of assorted drug paraphernalia, thousands of dollars in cash, and both ketamine and fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid often laced with heroin to augment its potency, resulting from an ongoing undercover operation over the course of the past few months. In response to a non-fatal overdose approximately six months ago, authorities investigated a stamp known as “diesel” uncovered at the scene. Though it could not be matched in any criminal database, a simple Google search led them to a website, which the suspects, a father and son duo and a third party, had set up soliciting various drug packaging materials. Undercover cops first purchased boxes of glassine envelopes, typically used to package and distribute drugs including marijuana and heroin, before being offered drugs.

“We purchased our first box [of glassine envelopes]. After our second box, the individual offered us “cut”... and small spoons to actually spoon the heroin into the envelopes,” said Nassau Deputy Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder. “After our third buy, he offered us ketamine, and for our last several buys we purchased five bottles of pure liquid fentanyl.” They purchased $19,000 in ketamine and fentanyl in total before obtaining search warrants and conducting a raid on three storage warehouse facilities in Queens, where the three suspects, Hussein “Jay” Kaafarani, 50, of College Point; Ali Kaafarani, 28, of Woodside; and Mohamad Nehme, 33, of Astoria, were promptly arrested. Hussein “Jay” Kaafarani, a non-U.S. citizen from Lebanon, was charged with criminal use of drug paraphernalia, while his son, a U.S. citizen, was charged with five counts of both second- and third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, and fourth- and fifth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, as well as second-degree criminal use of drug paraphernalia.

Nehme, also a U.S. citizen of Lebanese descent, was charged with five counts of second- and third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance. It is believed that Nehme procured ketamine from a dentist’s office he had been working at. The three were arraigned in First District Court in Hempstead on Thursday, May 18. From the storage facility, authorities also seized 2.5 million glassine envelopes and $25,000 in cash. They are currently investigating a possible $600,000 more in bank accounts connected to the suspects. It is believed that the trio acted as major suppliers along the entire East Coast, obtaining much of their supply from China. The announcement of this bust comes less than two weeks after Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas stood in the Floral Park Police Department, commending New York State Senator

Chuck Schumer for his commitment to fighting the spread of fentanyl through the proposed International Narcotics Trafficking Response by Detecting Incoming Contraband with Technology (INTERDICT) Act. “Yet again here we are today with our law enforcement officers and we stand together to announce another major takedown,” said Singas. “Each of these enforcements puts a dent in these operations. Each of these makes these deadly drugs harder to get and each ensures that dealers and traffickers think twice before they bring this poison into our county. We are continuing our efforts to combat this epidemic on a multi-level, multi-pronged approach.” Singas commended the outstanding work of those involved in the operation, including Ryder, the DEA and members of the Organized Crime and Rackets Bureau at the Nassau County district attorney’s office.

Authorities purchased $19,000 worth of fentanyl and ketamine before raiding the storage facility in Queens.

A Speck In The Sea Local Montauk ﬁshermen detail rescue at sea in new book BY JENNIFER FAUCI

jfauci@antonmediagroup.com

On July 24, 2013, John Aldridge was all alone, keeping watch on the deck of the Anna Mary, a fishing boat stationed in Montauk. It was about 2:30 a.m. when he fell overboard, 40 miles off the coast of Long Island. “My crew was asleep and I was getting the boat ready to fish for the next day. We had just gotten a new refrigeration system so I was in charge of tinkering with it,” said Aldridge, a Montauk lobster fisherman who was on the back deck of the boat. “I was moving one of the coolers, which had about 150 pounds of ice inside, and the handle broke off.” Before he knew it, Aldridge was sent flying off the back of the Anna Mary, plunging into the ocean. Like a scene from a movie, he surfaced and watched helplessly as the boat sailed away in the distance. A slice of moonlight would have been enough for his crew to see him screaming and panicking below. The water temperature was fairly warm, but a four-foot swell after a storm didn’t improve Aldridge’s situation. “The will to live is everything. I wasn’t going to die and I made my mind up. I had to get in that mindset,” said the seasoned sailor and fisherman. “We live on the ocean out here, so for me, I’m comfortable out there and I’m in tune with what’s going on in the ocean and on the ocean.” After assessing his situation, Aldridge soon discovered that his fishing boots were buoyant. Strategically, he removed them and caught an air bubble in the leg of the boots, enabling him to tuck each boot under his arms to float. That’s when he started to think of a way to get out of his predicament. “I knew where I was in the ocean; near other people’s fishing gear. My train of thought was to go find these buoys, but it didn’t do me any good holding on to them because the current pulled me under since they’re tied to the bottom of the ocean,” he said. “The boots were my life savers and the water inside them paired with my body heat kept me warm.” Aldridge’s partner, Anthony Sosinski, awoke a little after 6 a.m. Aldridge had already been in the water for almost four hours. After realizing that his partner was missing, Sosinski began a massive search, calling on the U.S. Coast Guard and local Montauk fishing community to help.

’’

—John Aldridge “This community is unbelievable and no matter who you are, if you’re part of this community, everyone comes out to help,” said Aldridge, thanking all of those who helped in the search. “It makes you feel like you’re a part of something really good. No one hesitated a bit. They spent hundreds of dollars on fuel just to look for me.” When it came time to write down their harrowing experience, Aldridge and Sosinski realized they had two separate pieces of one story to tell. Sosinski had no idea that his friend was still alive and Aldridge didn’t know about the Coast Guard having issues with a rescue program or that some 20 boats were out searching for him. “After I was rescued, I just gave him

[Sosinski] a hug and said ‘that was some scene, huh?’” recalled Aldridge, who had suffered second-degree sunburns and was dehydrated. ““When we got together to write the book, you get to put everything together, you chisel away at it and it made for a pretty interesting experience.” While Aldridge sometimes feels defined by the story, he said that talking about it so often has helped him get through issues. He said the experience didn’t hold him back from returning to the Anna Mary and that mentally, he never had a dream about that night. “It’s weird because it was an unbelievable experience to go through. They say it was only 12 hours and that the Coast Guard has never found anyone alive that has fallen off the boat in the middle of the night in the North Atlantic,” said Aldridge, who met the Coast Guard swimmer that saved him two weeks ago. It has been almost four years since

the accident and rescue, and the Anna Mary is still at sea, only now, with a whole new set of safety precautions in place. Aldridge said that the crew added a tailgate on the back of the boat, similar to that of a pickup truck, as well as several emergency position-indicating radio beacons (EPIRBs), which signals the Coast Guard when someone falls overboard, alerting them to the vicinity. A Speck in the Sea: A Story of Survival and Rescue (Weinstein Books) debuted this week. The book is soon to be a movie, with shooting planned for summer 2017. Aldridge and Sosinski are part of the consulting team and are excited to see everything come to fruition. “You fight for every inch of your life to try and stay alive and I just resolved to myself that I wasn’t going to die out there because it’s so powerful…negative thinking,” said Aldridge. “We’re simple fishermen, and we’ll keep fishing until our bodies can’t handle it anymore.”

A good education can make a world of difference, and those who attended the De La Salle School’s 15th annual Spring Gala on May 12 played a vital part in changing the lives of young students. Held at Chateau Briand Caterers in Carle Place, the gala helped support academic programs for economically disadvantaged students at the De La

Salle School in Freeport. The Catholic school serves to provide a quality education for young men in grades five through eight. The event honored Joan Hope MacNaughton, who has been involved as a volunteer and fundraiser at the De La Salle School for many years and as chairman of the school’s luncheon fundraisers, which have grown to welcome more than 300 guests. MacNaughton has actively volunteered at

the school, teaching social dance to the students before the annual Mother-Son Valentine’s Dance and is a longtime member of the gala committee. In addition to her many charitable endeavors, MacNaughton is also the artistic director of Leggz Ltd. Dance in Rockville Centre. The festive gala affair included a cocktail hour, sit-down dinner, silent auction and basket raffles featuring a variety of prizes.

Holy Cross To Admit Women

Holy Cross students with Principal Edward Burns Over the last several years, and confirmed by a recent gift of $1,000,000 from a most generous and forward thinking alumnus, Holy

Cross High School has developed skill in a robust project-based learning initiative called STREAM which is not gender specific. In fact, project-based learning across the disciplines of science, theology, robotics, engineering, art and mathematics are guiding more young women to degrees needed by U.S. industries. Ed Burns ’84, principal of Holy Cross High School, observed, “This is a momentous step. As an alumnus of the school, I am proud of the thorough evaluation of this opportunity undertaken by our senior leadership team, our board of

directors, and our board of corporate members. As a school sponsored by the congregation of Holy Cross, we are not alone. We have many resources across the country to guide us in each step we will be taking as we make this important transition.” Holy Cross High School begins immediately to welcome current 8th grade students of both genders to apply for admission to the class of 2022. These students will enroll in the fall of 2018. Contact Rob Botero ’00 at admission@holycrosshs.org or 718-8867250 ext 558 for details.

Holy Cross High School recently announced the unanimous decision of its board of corporate members to accept the recommendation of the board of directors to begin welcoming young women as students. The board of corporate members includes Holy Cross High School alumnus Brother Bill Zaydak ’72, C.S.C., Superior of the Moreau Province. In 1856, in a treatise entitled Christian Education, Blessed Basil Moreau, the founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross wrote, “How we educate the mind will change with the times; how we cultivate the heart is and will remain timeless.” Later in his same mission-defining work he wrote, “Education is the art of helping young people to completeness.” As a result of the recent announcement, 18 of the 22 congregation of Holy Cross-sponsored secondary and post-secondary academic institutions in the United States are now co-educational. Holy Cross High School recognizes that there are many capable and qualified young women who are desirous of strong, values-based instruction provided in a safe and nurturing co-educational environment.

Metallica Sells Out Nassau Coliseum BY KIMBERLY DIJKSTRA

kdijkstra@antonmediagroup.com

One of the most influential heavy metal bands of all time, Metallica sold out Nassau Coliseum last Wednesday night, their 11th visit to Long Island’s biggest concert venue. They were welcomed like old friends by 17,000 adoring fans and played in an unusual in-the-round stage setup. The show began with the musical

composition “The Ecstasy of Gold,” the same introductory music they have used at their concerts since 1983. Then they opened with “Hardwired,” the title track off their most recent album Hardwired... to Self-Destruct (2016). The 18-song set list was well-rounded with old and new represented. Fans were enthusiastic about favorites “For Whom The Bell

(Non-Invasive Body Sculpting) What were your goals at the beginning of the year? Have you met your goals? Are you moving in the right direction? Is it hard to stay on track? Losing “stubborn fat” is hard and as you get older -- it just gets harder and harder. You might go to the gym five days a week, sweat on the treadmill for an hour, and see maybe a pound or two drop in a month. Is that really worth your time? Or… imagine going to a medical facility, laying down, spending 35 minutes relaxing, then getting up and finding out you’ve lost two inches around your waist. Which do you prefer? What if you could keep doing that and losing more and more fat until you looked like you did years ago? If you have any interest in this you should stop what you’re doing and call the office for an appointment immediately. This new treatment 170653 C

device is now cleared by the FDA as the only noninvasive treatment for immediate fat removal without dieting, exercise, or pills. This device uses a special light therapy to trick your mitochondria (in your fat cells) to release their fat content. If you eat better, drink plenty of water, stay away from sugars, and carbohydrates, this can lead to permanent fat loss without surgery. And that’s the FDA saying it, not me. Here’s a heads up. If you have tried liposuction in the past - you know that when you “regain the weight” it goes to different places - making your body look distorted and then unfortunately, you’re back to where you started, only worse. With this technology we don’t destroy your fat cells. What we do is we simply drain the contents of the fat cells so you lose the inches and look good again.

Throughout the show, the band members rotated their positions on the square stage in the middle of the floor of the arena, thus giving the sea of people standing and in the stadium seating a clear view 360 degrees around.

A Chance Encounter—Or More?

Have you heard of godwinks? A godwink is an experience where you’d say, “What are the chances of that!” It’s been described by some as a spiritual message of reassurance, especially in times of uncertainty, maybe the impetus for restored faith during difficult times. Some see it as divine intervention, others as pure coincidence. Although I was not familiar with the term, it reminded me of something that happened to me that I thought was astonishing. In 2005 I lost a very good friend and colleague named Roselle. We had become business partners in 1990. The longtime editors of a popular professional journal decided to step down and asked the two of us, strangers at the time, to become their successors. Years later we both revealed that we were, at first, wary of each other. After all, we’d never met, and so we had no idea what it would be like working together as co-editors of an esteemed quarterly publication. Roselle was a university professor and I was a frontline mental health practitioner. What we shared in common was that we were both

published authors. After a relatively short period of testing and unease we not only became great collaborators but fast friends. The relationship ended in June of 2005 when I received a call that Roselle had died. It was sudden, unexpected and heartbreaking. Shortly thereafter, in December 2005, I organized a meeting with two of Roselle’s fellow professors and friends. Together we decided to develop a special publication in Roselle’s honor. We were to meet in Manhattan at their university. Normally, I would have just taken the LIRR into the city the morning of our meeting, but, as luck would have it, at the time there was a transit strike. So I decided to play it safe and get in the night before and stay in a hotel while the trains were

still running. That night I took a walk and stopped in a bar to get a glass of wine. I walked to the end of the bar and there was my cousin Amy whom I had not seen in years. Unbeknownst to me, she lived across the street from the bar and was working as a real estate broker. It was great catching up with her. Fast forward some months later. I was back in Manhattan to take care of some business regarding my partnership with Roselle at a local

university. Having reconnected, I called Amy to see if she was free for lunch. She was and so we got together. She asked me why I was in the city. I told her I had to go to Hunter College School of Social Work to take care of some business related to a partnership I had with a professor there. I explained that she died last June. She asked me, “What was name?” I told her, “Roselle Kurland.” She gasped and said, “Oh my God, I just sold her apartment!” Was this a godwink? Was it a tangible signpost giving me hope and faith that someone is watching over me and everything is going to be alright? Or was it pure coincidence, a fluke? I choose to think that it was more than that. During these uncertain times, a source of faith, however unusual, is a welcome reminder that we are not alone and that there is hope.

Chris Cornell

(July 20, 1994 to May 17, 2017) BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

The music world suffered another casualty when Soundgarden founding member and lead singer Chris Cornell was found dead in the bathroom of his hotel room at Detroit’s MGM Grand, following a show by his band at the Fox Theatre the night before. The initial shock of his being gone at 52 was superseded by early reports determining suicide by hanging to be the cause of death. An interview with his widow Vicky revealed that he’d admitted taking an extra Ativan or two (whose side effects include suicidal thoughts), was slurring his words following the concert and that she’d advised security to check on him. The reaction to Cornell’s passing was disbelief and grief over an artist who was not only widely admired for his vocal prowess and range, but artistic sensitivity that was the antithesis to the macho swagger normally associated with lead singers in the hard rock world. While Cornell was deservedly lauded for his exemplary work with Soundgarden that included seminal albums like Ultramega OK, Badmotorfinger and Superunknown, his musical legacy goes deeper. The year 1991 found him collaborating with friends who would go on to form Pearl Jam for the one-off Temple of the Dog project, which was formed in tribute to former roommate/Mother Love Bone singer Andrew Wood, that was also Eddie Vedder’s recording debut. In the early 2000s, Cornell slide into Audioslave, after former singer

Zack de La Rocha left Rage Against the Machine and the remaining three band members needing a new singer. Guitarist Tom Morello was quoted as saying, “He stepped to the microphone and sang the song and I couldn’t believe it. It didn’t just sound good. It didn’t sound great. It sounded transcendent. And...when there is an irreplaceable chemistry from the first moment, you can’t deny it.” Such was the power of Cornell’s multi-octave voice that not only yielded three Audioslave albums (and musings of a potential reunion in the future), but a quintet of solo outings. Cornell’s charitable side was consistent through his life, whether he was using his Golden Globenominated single “The Keeper,” an original song from the 2011 film Machine Gun Preacher and making it exclusively available as part of the “Donate to Download” campaign for Sam Childers’ Angels of East Africa children’s charity, or releasing the charity single “The Promise,” written for the ending credits for the movie of the same name about the Armenian Genocide. Cornell also created the Chris and Vicky Cornell Foundation in 2012, to support children facing challenges, including homelessness, poverty, abuse and neglect. Cornell suffered from depression early in his life. Ativan is a pharmaceutical drug prescribed as treatment for this affliction and may have been the trigger for his death. One outcome from this tragic loss of life just might be the Seattle native further highlighting the fact that depression is an illness.

This Week’s Newspaper In Education: Anton Lesson Plan: An Anton Media Group initiative to enhance our children’s

Science & Health

Health and science are topics that are thoroughly covered in newspapers of every stripe. Millions of people are dealing with health issues, whether it’s changing dietary choices or making an effort to get to the gym or include some kind of other physical activity in their day-to-day schedule. Elsewhere, stories having to do with the environment get major play, particularly when it comes to issues regarding pollution, climate change or species extinction. The following are exercises students can do to experience the different facets of health and science that make up the content of a newspaper.

learning experience through community news

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.) • Design a newspaper advertisement for a health care agency to run in your local newspaper. • Give each student a paper plate. Ask them to find pictures to paste on the plate that would create a healthy meal. Stress good nutrition.

Holiday Mathis Holiday Mathis Mathis HOROSCOPES ByByByHoliday

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND Companions

ARIES (March 21-April 19). While an even hum of contentment buzzes through your week, you may nonetheless find yourself longing for something extra. Is it so wrong to crave a more vivid and extreme state of being? Wrong or not, you can’t seem to help what you want, only how you react to the pangs of appetite.

Solution: 23 Letters

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Don’t talk about the change you want to make, because that will let all of the air out of it. You need that air for the tires that will ride you to your future. Pump yourself up with inspiration. Twist the cap back on to seal it in. Then take off on the adventure. There will be plenty of time to talk about it when it’s done. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You can invite inspiration, but don’t expect her to RSVP. She doesn’t like to be pinned down to an exact time and place. Do the work whether or not you are inspired and you will get results. When inspiration finally shows up, the experience will be magical. Until then, you’ll have to prove that you can carry the load. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Uncertainty causes anxiety and also excitement. There will be a payoff, and it will come in stages this week. The thing you didn’t know about (and were apprehensive of) will become known, and later well-known. You may even look back on your worries with fondness and nostalgia. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The story you tell yourself (a tangled, complicated story of emotionally layered events that led to heartbreak) may be legitimate in every sense. You still have to get on with things. This week is about shrugging off the hardships and moving forward unencumbered. There’s so much to be done! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Emotions and thoughts aren’t self-governing, and they can be quite inappropriate at times. So what?! It’s part of what makes you relatable to your friends -- you know, those people you chose precisely because they don’t judge you harshly when you say the unsayable. Be nice to yourself. Confide in the openhearted. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You need to get to the truth, and you will. You could ask for it, though it would be amateur to depend on just one method of extracting honesty -- especially considering your superpower of nuanced observation. You hear what people never say aloud. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Change always involves loss; it’s an inextricable part of the deal. Even the most joyful changes imaginable include loss. It’s not change unless there’s something left behind. So if, after you get your heart’s desire, you feel strangely melancholic, do not confuse this with regret. It only means the transition is complete. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Over the course of it, life begins anew again and again. You’re not being hopeful by thinking you’ll get another chance at feeling how you want to feel: You know the chance is coming. But how are you going to approach it differently this time? It’s the slight shifts in perspective and strategy that will get you there. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). To unite with another, you must forget part of yourself. To unite with the group, forget more of yourself. This partial and temporary amnesia of your own will and desire is a good thing to learn and develop. There are many useful applications. Just be extremely choosy about the forces with whom you unite. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Being at a loss for words will lead you to feel lost in general. That’s why you’ll feel better when you define the indefinite, talk out the transitions or just come up with with some general answers for the questions you’re dreading. Work out what you want people to know about you at this juncture. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your level of ambition is different than it was, and it will be in flux for a little while. This is partly because you’re not sure where to direct your considerable amount of personal will, deep wells of creativity and large reserves of physical vitality. What is worthy of you? This is the driving question of the week.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You will dream and plan and measure and test your way through a lot of this year. Yet as it will turn out, the things that really matter will happen outside of your mental processes. The next 10 weeks will be particularly rich in felicitous blessings. July is your time to ask, “How much is too much?” You’ll cut back on the excesses in your life and live more gracefully as a result. November and February represent adventurous times and friends will make it easier and more fun. COPYRIGHT 2017 CREATORS.COM

n Chuck Holley’s new book, A Perfectly Good Guitar (University of Texas Press), he spent eight years interviewing professional guitarists about how they acquired that one special instrument and why it grew in importance to them. In all, Holley spoke with 46 musicians that included famous names from the worlds of Americana and country music (Rosanne Cash, Dave Alvin, Marty Stuart, Guy Clark), western swing (Ray Benson), the blues (John Hammond) and rock (Jorma Kaukonen, J.D. Souther). The professional photographer/writer also included anecdotes from a number of studio musicians including Greg Leisz, Waddy Wachtel, G.E. Smith and Dan Dugmore. Each chapter is written in the words of the artist with a short bio tacked onto the end about the interview subject

complemented by great pictures. Anecdotes drip with strong emotion, whether it’s producer John Leventhal talking about inheriting his good friend Robbie Kaplan’s 1970 Telecaster after the latter died in an accident or how Doc Watson’s musical partner David Holt used his Valco resophonic guitar to heal from the grief he was suffering from losing his 10-year-old daughter in a car accident. There are many mentions of guitars having songs in them, being stolen, busted up and resurrected. It doesn’t take long to see how these inanimate objects become living entities, whether they’re being played or not, that carry an emotional weight with them. And while at times the jargon can go a bit on the technical side, it is the stories about how these artists wound up with their favorite musical tools that most resonate, regardless of whether you can play an instrument or not.

The Raw Story BY STEVE MOSCO

SmoSco@antonmediagroup.com

bout 50 years ago, the concept of eating raw fish was utterly mystifying to Americans. Glistening slabs of fatty tuna, untouched by fire’s influence, were seen as foreign harbingers of disease—a product of a far away, unfamiliar land. But after plates and minds opened on the West Coast in the 1960s, Americans slowly began embracing Japanese cuisine beyond wok-fried steak, tempura-battered whatever and “oriental” shrimp. Now, sushi and sashimi are as ubiquitously American as brown hunks of meat covered in viscous gravy were during the 1950s. And that’s not limited to the easily palatable California Rolls, in fact, more and more eaters are embracing the concept of Omakase (chef’s choice). Omakase is a Japanese phrase that means “I’ll leave it up to you” and ordering it allows a trained chef to dictate the meal based on what is freshest or what he/she wants the eater to experience. It gives the chef carte blanche to serve that day’s best sushi, sashimi or rolls—and yes, all three are separate items. It has become the catch-all term for Japanese cuisine featuring raw fish, but sushi refers to the pillow of seasoned rice on which the raw fish is served, while the fish itself is sashimi. Ordering a plate of sashimi means you are getting slices of raw fish—tuna, salmon, mackerel, etc.—in what is the purest taste of this cuisine. There is perhaps no bite

Sushi, with its long journey to the American palate, is now a staple cuisine on Long Island.

as luscious as fatty tuna with a speck of wasabi and just a touch of soy sauce, while placing it on a bed of rice as sushi provides a textural juxtaposition that elevates the bite even further. Rolls are an entirely different variation of Japanese cuisine. It is the makizushi sushi roll that first opened the Western world to the mere hint of this exotic meal, with the aforementioned California Roll gently persuading the American

Sushi’s many culinary turns palate with cucumber, crab meat (or imitation crab meat), avocado and the challenging-for-some seaweed safely hidden inside the roll. From there, rolls have evolved into decidedly inauthentic takes like the Philadelphia roll, with cream cheese and smoked salmon. But just because some rolls are inauthentic, it doesn’t mean they aren’t delicious and downright fun to eat. The Spider Roll is a staple at restaurants, with deepfried soft shell crab delivering a powerful crunch with its delicate flavor; while other ingredients like jalapeños, smoked chipotle mayo and citrus aioli play with the sushi narrative in a way that infuriates purists, but boast a pleasurable flavor venture that is hard to deny or deride. Long Island is rife with Japanese restaurants, with some offering straightforward sushi and others delving deep into the world of Americanized rocking rolls. Kotobuki (1530 Old Northern Blvd. in Roslyn) stands as a renowned local favorite, as does Syosset’s Arata (18 Cold Spring Rd.). Garden City offers Sushi Ya (949 Franklin Ave.) and Koiso in Carle Place (540 Westbury Ave.) is the go-to place for old-school Japanese. Regardless of the restaurant, eaters would be wise to reach beyond their usual food horizons and sample menu items that challenge their sushi sensibilities. This writer urges you to try sea urchin—or uni—which tastes like the very essence of the ocean. Some restaurants will even crack a raw quail egg atop an uni roll, for what is perhaps the most singularly succulent bite on any cuisine’s menu.
