Roger Daltrey Goes Back Home BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

esiliency is a major part of Roger Daltrey’s DNA. At the age of 74, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer is continuing to remain active while avoiding becoming an oldies act. While some may argue that his performing with a number of pops and local orchestras performing Tommy might fall under that heading, Daltrey’s approach to this warhorse is far from by-the-numbers. “This gives me a chance to do Tommy in a different way and the way I hear it, with an orchestra, working in the way I’ve always known it could with Pete’s music and a rock band. We treat this as though it’s a written opera and I treat it with that reverence. In my opinion, it’s one of the best operas ever written. It’s certainly got the most lyrics,” he said with a laugh. “People can expect a completely different sound and expect it to really rock. The orchestrations are impressive—that’s all I can tell you. I’ve had to do things like invent a new ending to Tommy because on the record, it doesn’t have an ending, it just fades out. And the ending I came up with is pretty spectacular. I’m not blowing a trumpet, it really brings it home in a way that I’m really proud of.” Back in 2014, Daltrey recorded 2014’s Going Back Home with ex-Dr. Feelgood guitarist Wilko Johnson, who was then dying from pancreatic cancer. A mutual love of Johnny Kidd and the Pirates and old-school R&B and the idea of making music to get Johnson’s mind off his diagnosis led to the release of this surprise UK hit album. A surgeon listening in on an interview Johnson was doing promoting the new project invited him to come in on the off-chance he was misdiagnosed. When the diagnosis led to surgery and a cancer-free life, Daltrey was delighted about the turn of events. Surprised by the album’s sales numbers, the record label approached The Who frontman about a DaltreyJohnson sequel. Declining to do so based on the idea that a follow-up wouldn’t equal the impact of the first, Daltrey agreed to do a similar solo version of Going Back Home. It led to As Long As I Have You, the septuagenarian rocker’s tenth and most recent solo album. Reuniting with producer Dave Eringa from the Johnson project, Daltrey chose to revisit the vibe and spirit of his pre-High Numbers/Who days with

‘‘

It was really great going back to them and revisiting that style of music [with As Long As I Have You], which I love. I’ve done it as an antithesis of the pop stuff that’s out there at the moment, which I loathe. Pete Townshend, when their band was playing soul music to small crowds in church halls. The result is a mix of heartfelt and melancholy originals and a mix of rich covers from artists ranging from Stevie Wonder, Manassas and Garnet Mimms to Joe Tex and Nick Cave. “This is the kind of music The Who were playing before Pete started writing songs. But obviously, we weren’t singing [originals like these] in those days because I hadn’t had the life experience that I’ve had now. Although I sang the notes and words in those days, I didn’t quite have the body that the songs have now,” he recalled. “So it was really great going back to them and revisiting that style of music, which I love. I’ve done it as an antithesis of the pop stuff that’s out there at the moment, which I loathe.” The choice of material he chose to cover all have their own connection with Daltrey and not something he takes lightly. “First of all, I have to be able to

relate to the song. The words have to be part of my journey. For instance, in the Stephen Stills song, Stephen gave me permission to change the words to make it my song. So I don’t sing the words that he originally wrote to it and I always try to inhabit the song as a part of me,” he explained. “The Garnet Mimms [opening lyric] ‘Born in darkness…’—I was born in a bloody air raid. That’s really it. I’m a huge Nick Cave fan, but he sings it quite darkly, that song. I can hear something else in it that’s so touching and I wanted to see if I could achieve it.” The original songs stand on their own, none more so than “Always Heading Home,” a song Daltrey cowrote with novelist Nigel Hinton that is a closing track that addresses aging, memories and dreams amid the slightest hint of strings and piano that adds up to quite an impactful coda. “‘Always Heading Home’ is something that I wrote a long time ago. It’s a spiritual song that I didn’t think would

—Roger Daltrey

ever find a home,” he said. “Since I thought this might be the last record I may ever make, I decided I was going to put ‘Always Heading Home’ on it.” After starting preliminary work on As Long As I Have You, Daltrey hit the road with The Who for its “Beginning of the Long Goodbye Tour,” which he was quick to point out is ongoing. Coming off that stretch of dates, the vocalist was hit with a bout of meningitis. And while his recovery involved a loss of hearing, he was discouraged by what he’d recorded up to that point. It was Townshend who wound up providing encouragement and musical support that allowed the project to come to fruition. It’s an assertion Daltrey is quick and proud to point out. “When I went back to listen to what I’d done prior to [the tour], I thought it was rubbish. Then Pete was suddenly given my tapes through management and he loved it,” he said. “He called me up and said, ‘You ought to finish it Roger and I’ll play guitar on it.’ And that was it for me. I’ve always respected his musical talent and if he says it’s good, then it’s alright.”

MUSIC

Roger Daltrey’s Early Influences BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

ong before Roger Daltrey became known as the prototypical lead singer while fronting The Who, music had done much to shape his future while growing up in the East Acton neighborhood in West London. Having started singing in the church choir at the age of 7, he was immersed in the sounds of post-World War II radio that was awash in big bands, lounge singers and programs like Workers’ Playtime, which was a variety program that broadcast from a factory canteen somewhere in Great Britain. Daltrey recalled, “They would go and play in these factories and you could hear the workers all singing along to these songs. That always stuck with me.” But like other young Brits of his generation, it was the sounds of rock and roll and artists like The Everly Brothers, Eddie Cochran and Chuck Berry that became a major watershed moment. The following are three performers that resonated with Daltrey during that formative stage.

Lonnie Donegan (April 29, 1931-November 3, 2002)

“Lonnie Donegan was the guy who made me feel like I could do this. This was about letting go and I could do that. I decided that this was what I wanted to do and then my life took a downturn (laughs).”

Buddy Holly (September 7, 1937-February 3, 1959)

“He had that sound and all those wonderful songs [he wrote and recorded] in such a short space of time.”

Elvis Presley

(January 8, 1935-August 16, 1977)

“When I saw Elvis, I thought he was cool and I wanted to sound like that. I loved early Elvis, before he went all schmaltzy.”

GAMES

E3 Delivers Big Time Video Game News BY CHRIS BIRSNER

CBIRSNER@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

his year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo, also known as E3, has come and gone with a better understanding of the exciting video games coming our way within the next year and announcements of new games building up hype for gaming in the future. There were seven press conferences over the course of four days that were filled with information about what our favorite game developers are currently working on. Here’s a look at some of the major titles that were a focus at this year’s event, in order of release.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

In the 11th major installment of Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed series, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey puts you in the middle of the Peloponnesian War in Ancient Greece. The action role-playing game (RPG) lets you choose not only what character you want to play as, but which side they fight for as well: Athens or Sparta. The game will be released Oct. 5 on Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC.

Battlefield V Electronic Arts’ first-person shooter is entering its 16th installment and they are making a return to World War II.

TILES & MORE

The game features its usual multiplayer mode, where you participate in large battles using WWII weapons. This game will also see the return of the single-player War Story mode where you will play many different narratives based around the time. In addition, EA announced there will be a Battle Royale mode for Battlefield V, with details yet to be announced. The game will be released Oct. 19 on Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC.

Fallout 76 For the first time in Fallout’s history, Bethesda is releasing a version of the RPG that is an online multiplayer game. All humans a player interacts with in the game will be other players and they’ll be able to work with them or fight against them, sometimes with nuclear missiles. Players will also have the option to host private servers if they rather not have random interactions. The game will be released Nov. 14 on Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC.

Nintendo dedicated the bulk of their press conference to the fifth installment of their all-star fighting game. What makes this one so unique is that every character to ever appear in a Smash Bros. game is returning. In addition, three new characters were announced, including Princess Daisy from the Mario series, the Inklings from Splatoon, and Ridley from Metroid. The game will be released Dec. 7 on Nintendo Switch.

A new wave of video games are coming. Pictured from left: Anthem by Electronic Arts; Nintendo’s artwork of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Kingdom Hearts III by Square Enix

Kingdom Hearts III At long last, Square Enix announced a release date for the next game in the Kingdom Hearts main series. Sora and Riku return, along with many characters in the Disney universe, to stop Master Xehanort’s evil plan to start a second Keyblade war. Along with many returning characters from past games, the RPG will have new Disney films involved in the game, including Frozen, Tangled,

and Monsters Inc. to name a few. The game will be released Jan. 29, 2019 on Playstation 4 and Xbox One.

Anthem One of the few big games announced at E3 that doesn’t have a predecessor, Electronic Arts’ new RPG puts you in an open-world, third-person shooter environment where the goal is to complete missions either alone or with other players. Not much is

known about the story yet, but your character is a freelancer that leaves their civilization to explore the world and kill monsters that have infected it. To be released Feb. 22, 2019, on Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC.

Death Stranding Hideo Kojima is almost out with his first game since leaving Konami, and we got another look at the game during the Sony press conference. It’s

an action game that puts the main character, Sam, in another world following his death. We don’t know much about the plot beyond that, outside of the fact Sam carries around a baby in a tank that brings things to life around him. Norman Reedus plays Sam, who assumes his likeness in the game. The cast also includes Mads Mikkelsen, Léa Seydoux and Lindsay Wagner. The game is expected to debut late 2019.

ou Ferrigno, who is best known for playing the green-skinned and muscular humanoid creature simply known as the Hulk on the 1970s television show The Incredible Hulk, had fans of all ages lining up to meet him at last Sunday’s Eternal Con at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Ferrigno, who is a native New Yorker himself, looked forward to meeting his fans and peers alike at last week’s comic con. “I’ve never done a show or a comic convention on Long Island and especially since I’m from Brooklyn, it’s basically in my backyard,” said Ferrigno. “I’m excited to meet all my peers and their friends and my fans.” Overall, visiting New York brings back a lot of good memories for Ferrigno who said that New York will always be a part of him since you can

take the man out of Brooklyn but you can never take Brooklyn out of the man. The former bodybuilder said attending comic cons such as Eternal Con is extremely gratifying. “It gives me a chance to relive my childhood because when I was a kid I never had a convention like this to go to,” explained Ferrigno. “Growing up I had low self-esteem, I was bullied and I was very introverted. So I would have given anything to go to a convention where I feel that I can feel like someone or somebody. So when I meet people who went through the same thing [being bullied] and see a smile on their face—it’s all about that positive reinforcement.” Forty-seven years later, Ferrigno is still amazed at how popular the Hulk truly is. “I was the Hulk my whole life.

Nassau County Museum Of Art Museum Ball Celebrating the Roaring Twenties Nassau County Museum Of Art (NCMA) recently went back in time with a Museum Ball dedicated to the 1920s. The Roaring Twenties and All That Jazz night was filled with cocktails, dinner and dancing, with the theme of the evening complementing the museum’s latest exhibition Anything Goes: The Jazz Age. The spectacular exhibit comprised of literature, music and art from the Gold Coast Gatsby era runs through July 8. The black tie affair also encouraged flapper and 1920s attire and guests took notice, with many showing up in traditional garb of the Jazz era. Dinner sponsors included Americana Manhasset and Wheatley Plaza while New York Cottages and Gardens served as the media sponsor. The evening honored Arlene and Arthur Levine, who have been friends and supporters of the NCMA for many years. Arthur has served on the Museum’s Board of Trustees since 1992, as president from 1998-99 and continues as vice president. He currently chairs the Building and Grounds Committee and serves on the Exhibitions and Nominating Committees. Arlene has been an active Museum Council member and has also served on many committees including the Museum Ball committee. The Levines have participated in fundraising activities and spearheaded events for the restoration of the Museum’s formal garden. “On behalf of myself and the board, we were truly privileged to honor Arlene and Arthur Levine’s lifetime philanthropy,” said Angela Susan Anton, president of the board of trustees for the museum. “The grandeur of their generosity was only matched by the spectacle of the evening’s festivities, evoking

North Shore Land Alliance Celebrates 15th Anniversary

he North Shore Land Alliance recently hosted a birthday party celebrating its 15th anniversary at the historic Humes Property. Family activities took place on the lawn between the Rumpus House and newly-mowed meadow where guests enjoyed a petting zoo, created fairy houses and built aquifer models with educator Karen Mossey. Stella Miller led an early-morning bird walk throughout the property and Mary Schmutz gave a tour of the exquisite Japanese Stroll Garden, which just reopened to the public in May. The festivities culminated with birthday cake and a dogwood tree planting in honor of Board Chair Carter Bales, who will retire at the end of this year. Since its inception 15 years ago, the North Shore Land Alliance has protected nearly 1,200 acres of land on the North Shore, including the Humes Property, which it purchased from the Humes Estate in 2015 for conservation purposes and hopes to open to the public next year. The 28-acre piece of land boasting meadows, woodlands and freshwater wetlands is situated between Shu Swamp and Upper and Lower Francis Ponds, and completes one of the most important open space corridors on the North Shore of Long Island. The property was the estate of former U.S. Ambassador to Austria, John

Lisa Ott and Nina Muller

P. Humes, Sr. and his wife Dr. Jean Schmidlapp-Humes. There are eight structures on the premises in varying stages of disrepair, including the “tavern house,” located along Oyster Bay Road, which dates to the 17th century and was thought to have been a tavern accommodating an unknown guest list of passersby. “In reflecting on the Land Alliance’s 15 years, two words come to mind: pride and gratitude,” said Lisa Ott, Land Alliance president and CEO. “I am very proud of all we have accomplished together and very grateful to all who have played such an integral part in those accomplishments—our members, local foundations, nonprofit friends, government partners, board, and staff.” The North Shore Land Alliance, Inc. is a nationally accredited, nonprofit 501c3 land trust founded in 2003 that works to protect and preserve, in perpetuity, the green spaces, farmlands, wetlands, groundwater, and historical sites of Long Island’s north shore for the enhancement of quality of life and benefit of future generations.

GAMING REVIEW

Going In The Wrong Direction? The Fallout Franchise E3 From a gamer’s point of view

BY MYLES GOLDMAN

EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Last week, the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) hosted Bethesda Game Studios’ annual press conference in Los Angeles. However, this year’s conference had a different mood to it: anxiety. The reason I say anxiety is because Bethesda Game Studios is the developer of my favorite video game franchise, Fallout, an award-winning video game franchise because of its strong single player story and immersive gameplay. Rumors swirled around the Internet since May 30, when it was announced that the game would be online only. Anger ensued as Fallout is not meant to be an online game; it is known for its story. A multiplayer game means there isn’t much of a story to tell in single player. The game is Fallout 76 and you play as one of the first people to emerge from Vault 76 in West Virginia after being in there for 25 years due to the nuclear apocalypse that occurred in the year of 2077. To be fair, this all does sound great, but I do not know that much about West Virginia and usually in all of the Fallout games, the setting is hundreds of years after the bombs dropped. I’m curious to see what the Fallout universe looks like after 25 years.

Fallout 76 will not feature non-playable characters (NPC), which means you no longer will have companions such as Dogmeat from Fallout 3 and 4 or merchants to buy armor or weapons from. The thing that bothers me the most is that I now have to worry about the unfriendly gamer that is 20 levels higher than me who will just shoot me onsite to the point where I cannot progress in the story, which is very frustrating even though Bethesda Game Studios’ game director Todd Howard said there will be no “griefing,” a term used to describe the people who will just annoy you for no reason. However, I was doing some thinking, that’s what a post-apocalyptic world would be like, survival of the fittest as Charles Darwin preached. Howard said during the conference that they would work on Fallout 76 years after its release,

which reminds me of another online game they made, The Elder Scrolls Online, which they are still adding content to four years after it’s release. The Elder Scrolls Online is based off of their Elder Scrolls games and I firmly believe that this is not the end of dedicated single player Fallout games. Fallout 4 isn’t old; it was released in 2015 and even though it may seem like the franchise is shifting towards online only, it isn’t. Bethesda Game Studios is making Fallout 76 their version of The Elder Scrolls Online to keep us Fallout fans at bay while they develop the next installment in the franchise. However, Fallout 76 could change the entire philosophy of Bethesda Game Studios and The Elder Scrolls VI could be online only. Right now, they’re working on Starfield, the next big release. While watching the press conference, I spoke to my friends, Randall Taylor and Jordan Tyner, the latter, who is a longtime Fallout fan, was not happy with what he saw from Bethesda Game Studios. “It looks interesting, but I’m disappointed that it is geared more towards multiplayer,” Tyner said. All in all, I do not believe the Fallout franchise is going in the wrong direction. I just think that Fallout 76 is being released to keep us busy because we most likely will not see another Fallout game for at least five years.

Island Harvest Food Bank Earns Four-Star Rating The organization has earned praise from Charity Navigator for the fifth consecutive year

group of charities working to overcome our world’s most pressing challenges.” “It’s important our contributors’ trust that we’re using their donations wisely to support our efforts in addressing the critical issue of hunger and food insecurity on Long Island,”

said Shubin Dresner. “Our consistent four-star Charity Navigator rating demonstrates to our supporters our good governance and financial accountability.” More than 94 percent of expended resources by Island Harvest Food Bank go directly to programs and

services that support more than 300,000 Long Islanders facing hunger and food insecurity. “Based on its four-star rating, people can trust that their donations are going to a financially responsible and ethical charity when they decide to support Island Harvest Food Bank,” said Thatcher. Since 2002, using objective analysis, Charity Navigator has awarded only the most fiscally responsible organizations a four-star rating. In 2011, Charity Navigator added 17 metrics, focused on governance and ethical practices as well as measures of openness, to its ratings methodology. These Accountability & Transparency metrics, which account for 50 percent of a charity’s overall rating, reveal which charities operate following industry best practices and whether they are open to their donors and stakeholders.

Island Harvest Food Bank’s robust financial health, sound governance, and a longstanding commitment to accountability and transparency have earned it a four-star rating from Charity Navigator, America’s largest independent charity evaluator. This is the fifth consecutive time that Island Harvest Food Bank has earned this top distinction, according to Randi Shubin Dresner, president and CEO, of the Bethpage- and Hauppaugebased hunger-relief organization. “Island Harvest outperforms most other charities in America. This exceptional designation from Charity Navigator sets Island Harvest apart from its peers and demonstrates to the public its trustworthiness,” said Michael Thatcher, Charity Navigator’s president and CEO. Only a quarter of charities rated by Charity Navigator receive the distinction of a four-star rating, according to Thatcher, noting that Island Harvest Food Bank belongs to a “preeminent

Last week, the dome of the Theodore Roosevelt Executive and Legislative Building in Mineola turned purple in honor of Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s & Brain Awareness Month. Simply by having a brain, every person in Nassau County is at risk for developing Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, a fatal disease that cannot be prevented, treated or even slowed. There are 5.7 million Americans living with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, including 400,000 in New York State. By 2050 that number is projected to reach as many as 14 million. That is why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to take action now to help end this epidemic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We applaud County Executive Laura Curran for acknowledging June 2018 as Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s & Brain Awareness Month,â&#x20AC;? said Douglas Davidson, Executive Director for the

Bringing Nature Indoors Eldergrow comes to Parker Institute

BY FRANK RIZZO

FRIZZO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

You’ve been doing it wrong all these years. The proper way to experience a flower’s fragrance is not to thrust your nose close to it. Instead, you gently rub its leaves between your fingers and then sniff your digits. That was the first of what no doubt will be many lessons at the Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation in New Hyde Park as it introduced the Eldergrow program to its residents on June 7. The brainchild of Seattle’s Orla Concannon, the program draws upon at least two centuries of scientific observations of the therapeutic value of gardening and working the soil. At the center of its activities is a “growth table,” a movable indoor therapy garden with “grow” lights and an accessible flowerbed filled with safe organic soil into which residents plant nontoxic flora, including herbs for eating and healing. Before introducing Concannon, Michael Rosenblut, Parker’s president and CEO, raised his hand and asked, “How many people were gardeners or took care of their lawns in their younger days?” A few did, and one woman commented, “Younger young days” to laughter. Rosenblut stated, “So if you want to continue doing the landscaping and gardening, this will give you an opportunity.” During her brief comments, Concannon flashed a few slides, the first of which defined therapeutic horticulture as “the use of plants to improve your quality of mind,

Therapy’s Benefits In 2014, the University of Washington reviewed 99 studies on the health benefits of horticulture. Among the findings: • Daily gardening reduced dementia risk factors by 36 percent • Improved mood and attention span in people with depression • Helped chronic pain patients cope better • Improved memory and motor skills and reduced use of medications

(Photos by Frank Rizzo) body and spirit.” The CEO of the company she founded in 2015, after working for a senior living facility, summed up the aim of the program: “What we do is bring nature indoors. That’s the whole premise. You might not be able to get out in [the winter months], so this (pointing at the “growth table”) will be indoors 12 months a year.” Among the bits of information she dispensed, Concannon mentioned a “Room With A View” study in the 1980s that put this kind of therapy into what she called “a real formal practice.” Patients at a medical facility that had windows looking out into nature, she related, were [on average] discharged a day earlier, buzzed for a nurse less often and took fewer medicines than those without a view. Concannon introduced Sabina Boccia of Garden City, who will lead the twice-monthly programs, and told the residents what to expect: “We’re going to teach cultural classes. We’re going to make essential oils. We’ll also do

garden art classes.” And another thing to look forward to: “We’ll be doing culinary classes,” Concannon said. “We’ll grow basil from seed, then come back three months later and make a Caprese salad.You’re actually going to eat your harvest.” A press release by the Parker Institute noted that, “This project provides opportunities for sensory stimulation and creative expression, while affording patients and residents a new sense of purpose as they go about caring for their garden.” Concannon passed a small potted plant around, and said the first resident to name it would take ownership. She gave out several cues, and the one about “rubbing as an ointment” elicited the right answer: “Vicks.” “Yes. Vicks plant,” she said, and did not have to mention that many pharmaceuticals are derived from plants. “Wow,” someone called out in an awed tone. Proving, again, that you are never too old to learn something new.

Nancy Burpee has overcome impossible challenges all her life. The latest was lung cancer.

Nancy Burpee has been swimming competitively all her life. Not only against other elite swimmers, but also against a rare connective tissue disease. Then she faced her greatest challenge: lung cancer. Nancy was told she faced a choice: either major invasive surgery or wait and see if the tumor would shrink. Instead, she turned to NYU Winthrop Hospital and Dr. Laurence Spier, one of the country’s top robotic lung surgeons. Dr. Spier not only removed the tumor without removing the entire lung, he was able to “tease” her lung free from the chest wall. Nancy was amazed at the improvement in her breathing and stamina. In just three weeks, she was back in the pool, swimming faster than she had in years. Thanks to NYU Winthrop, Nancy is still competing. And in all the ways that count, she remains undefeated.

Yardbird’s green mission to save the environment through furniture rebirth

Treasure a piece from the Luna Collection for years. BY JENNIFER FAUCI

JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us…” While the above opening line from Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities was made famous in 1859 when the novel was first published, it resonates with the world we live in now more than ever. Earth is in grave danger and taking care of the environment is just one of many ways people are trying to help. Jay Dillon is the owner and co-founder of Yardbird, an outdoor furniture company that is revolutionizing the way recreational furniture is made, delivered and recycled. Number one fans of the environment, the team at Yardbird is dedicated to producing the high quality outdoor furniture at great prices, working directly with their material suppliers. “Yardbird is one of the first outdoor furniture brands to offer a direct-to-consumer model as well as the first to make sustainability a part of its core mission,” said Dillon, who along with his father Bob, founded the Minnesota-based company, which opened its first showroom last year. “I moved to Asia for a number of years to study the factories and truly understand quality control in the industry. Through our model, we are able to offer the highest quality outdoor furniture at a fraction

Pepin Collection of the price compared to legacy brands.” Sustainability is a part of Yardbird’s overall brand mission. Yardbird’s resin wicker collections—Langdon, Elliot, Harriet and Waverly—incorporate intercepted ocean plastics in design and manufacturing. The collections are simple and classic, yet fit the contemporary style of most customers today. Dillon’s favorite piece is the Langdon Sectional, which he said is “incredibly comfortable” and what he has on his patio. He also

Lily Collection loves the Eden Collection, which “achieves the teak look without the maintenance.” Yardbird’s furniture is 100 percent recyclable, and when customers are ready to retire any of their Yardbird pieces, the company will reclaim and repurpose it, saving it from wasting away in a landfill. Dillon noted that Yardbird’s commitment to sustainability was inspired by the interest of starting an outdoor furniture business, as both he and his father love the outdoors and want to enjoy it for

years to come, speaking on behalf of Mother Earth and the environment. “The ongoing epidemic of plastic litter is hard to ignore, especially after spending time on the beaches in Asia. With Yardbird’s largest resin wicker set using over 120 pounds of plastics, we knew that we wanted to start our sustainability mission with incorporating recycled plastics,” said Dillon. The brand has been intercepting plastics before they make it into the waterways, making for a collective total of 30,000 pounds of retrieved ocean plastics that have been incorporated into Yardbird’s 2018 collection. Dillon noted that about 50 percent of every handmade resin wicker set is made of said recycled material. “We are targeting to collect over 100,000 pounds of intercepted ocean plastic to incorporate in our 2019 collection, increasing the content to 75 percent,” he said. “We have also introduced intercepted ocean plastics into Yardbird’s packaging in the 2018 collection.” Yardbird hopes its sustainability mission encourages people to become conscious consumers and think about their overall impact on the environment. The brand also hopes to inspire other companies to be socially conscious and mindful about what materials they are using in their production. “Our sustainability journey is constantly evolving and are looking forward to sharing the journey with our customers along the way,” said Dillon.

Hybrid Cars BY MYLES GOLDMAN

EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Hybrid technology in cars is being driven in the right direction when it comes to the issue of pollution and global warming. While the technology in a hybrid engine is a bit confusing, being half electric and gasoline powered, it makes it hard to choose which hybrid car is the best. Below are five of the best hybrid vehicles you can buy.

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Plug-In Hybrid

Chevrolet Volt The Chevrolet Volt has been around for almost eight years now, but is still one of the most popular hybrid cars in the U.S. market. The 2018 Volt features a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine and a 111 kW electric motor that generates a respectable 149 horsepower. The battery on the Volt provides 53 miles of range, which is very impressive for a hybrid. On regular petrol mode, the Volt averages 43 city and 42 highway miles-per-gallon. The Volt is a good car, but has some downsides. The car starts at more than $30,000, leather interior is an extra $4,000 and heated seats are not included.

The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV plug-in Hybrid has been around for some time now but only recently came to the United States and it is here to stay. The Outlander is the perfect all-wheel drive SUV if you want to be eco-friendly but don’t want to spend a lot of money on your typical hybrid. The car is cheap for what you get; starting at just over $34,500, the Outlander comes with heated front seats, leather seats, a three-month SiriusXM satellite radio trial, Bluetooth connectivity, a rear-view camera, Apple Carplay with Android Audio, seven-inch touchscreen display and more. The most important part about the Outlander though is its fuel economy; featuring a 166 horsepower 2.0L four-cylinder engine and two 60 kW batteries generating a total of 197 horsepower. If you want to drive the truck on electric only, the Outlander gives you a respectable range of 22 miles for an SUV. However, if you drive the truck in hybrid mode, you get 74 mpg.

Toyota Prius C Being the cheapest option for a hybrid starting at $20,630, the Prius C is a good bang for your buck if you’re looking for a hybrid. The Prius C features a 1.5L four-cylinder engine and a 45 kW motor generating a total of 99 horsepower. The Prius C doesn’t feature anything special other than its cheap price tag for a hybrid. The fuel mileage is good though, averaging 46 mpg, but the EV mode only allows you to travel one mile before the car switches back to petrol mode. Since the car is so cheap, it’s very barebones inside. The Prius C only comes standard with one USB port, Bluetooth connectivity and a touchscreen infotainment system.

HelloFresh Launches Retail Product Line Meal-kit company HelloFresh recently added to its retail expansion. The brand can now be found in nearly 600 stores, including markets across Long Island, under the Ahold Delhaize brand’s Giant Food and Stop & Shop. The launch introduces delicious, fresh, grab-and-go meal kits to store shelves, ranging from $14.99 to $19.99, with offerings like Peppercorn Steak, Mediterranean Style Chicken, Homestyle Meatloaf, Chickpea Couscous and Paprika Chicken. All meals serve two and take less than 30 minutes to cook. The brand’s entry into retail comes soon after the company’s acquisition of Green Chef, the USDA-certified organic and certified gluten-free meal kit company that addresses dietary plans like Paleo, Keto, and Gluten-Free. “How we’ve been embraced by retail brands shows the quality product line HelloFresh has brought to

market,” said Tobias Hartmann, president for North America at HelloFresh. “HelloFresh strikes a chord with households that want fresh dinners on the table, without artificial ingredients or overly complicated recipes. The addition of retail, a channel well-placed

to benefit from the unique data, brand and infrastructure assets we have built out over the years, allows us to better address everyday needs for customers, adding what we view as a highly complementary customer segment.” HelloFresh expanded its

distribution network from five to 11 facilities to minimize travel time and maintain ingredient quality for retailers. The brand also designed unique packaging to optimize shelf space and drive profitable revenue streams for the grocer. The result is a delicious, fresh and convenient dinner option that retail brands have chosen as an essential part to modernizing their customer experience. “Grocers needed to profitably replace underperforming or low margin product categories and meet their customer demands for chef-curated, fresh and convenient meals,” said Hartmann. “Our retail line reduces the pressure on grocers to create these meals themselves and easily integrates into growing areas of their business such as online grocery and delivery.” To learn more about HelloFresh, visit www.hellofresh.com.

YOUR GREEN HOME Gardening is good for the earth. Plants are what keep the air clean, our bellies full and the spaces around us looking beautiful. Support the earth by making wiser choices and by incorporating plants indoors and outside of your home and office. Here are some ways you can be kinder to the earth today: Choose the right plant for the right location Planting trees and shrubs in the sunlight, moisture and temperature conditions they prefer means they will be happy—and less likely to contract insect and disease issues that might require the use of chemical controls.

Water the right way

about how you can make a difference. Start small with a task you can easily manage and grow (pun intended) from there. As Audrey Hepburn said, “To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.”

Conserve water by giving your plants only what they need. Water your plants infrequently and deeply. This means applying all needed water in one watering, if possible. In other words, no more than once or twice a week. This encourages a deeper root system, which is healthier for plants. Also, water early in the day whenever possible to conserve water. You will lose a lot of water to evaporation if you water during the heat of the day. Follow your local municipality’s instructions for which days/times to water.

Add an outdoor air conditioner Installing large shade trees on the south side of your home will help to reduce the temperature inside your home by providing shade. Consider trees such as Zelkova, “October Glory” Maple, “Green Giant” Arborvitae, Red Oak and the Linden tree. You can also add shade plants near your air conditioning unit to increase its efficiency. Trees and shrubs provide oxygen, clean the air and are a haven for wildlife.

HYBRID CARS from page 6B

Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Minivans aren’t known for having the best fuel mileage, but the Chrysler Pacifica is an exception. The Pacifica Hybrid features a 3.6L six-cylinder and two 16 kWh motor generating an impressive 260 horsepower. The best part about the Pacifica Hybrid is its range in EV mode; on a single battery charge, the Pacifica can drive 33 miles, which is unheard of in hybrid vans. Fuel mileage too is impressive; the Pacifica averages 84 miles-per-gallon on the highway.

Honda Clarity Hybrid Starting at $33,400, the Honda Clarity Hybrid is a good alternative if you’re looking for a plug-in hybrid sedan instead of the Chevrolet Volt. The Clarity Hybrid features a 103 horsepower 1.5L four-cylinder engine and a 17 kWh lithium-ion battery generating a total of 212 horsepower. The biggest selling point about the Clarity is its Electric vehicle (EV) range; the Clarity has a range of 47 miles. The engine provides good mileage as well, averaging an mpg of 44 city/40 highway. Included with the Clarity is Honda Sensing technology, an eightinch infotainment touch screen, LED headlights, Honda LaneWatch, a multi-angle rearview camera, push to start, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, heated front seats and more.

One of the most important parts about a minivan is comfort and Chrysler didn’t forget about that. The Pacifica features many standard features such as satellite radio, remote start, a rearview camera, touchscreen infotainment, parking sensors, blind spot monitoring, heated front seats, a total of seven seats and much more.

Buick Specialist Talks Brand Quality BY CHRISTY HINKO

CHINKO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Quiet tuning, luxury, performance, power, style and quality are a few of the words used to describe the classic Buick brand. Anton Media Group spoke with Rob Schappert, a Buick specialist at King O’Rourke Auto Group in Smithtown, about what the brand means to him and how he perceives the impression that the brand makes on first-time, as well as brand-loyal, customers. “A Buick is a quality car,” said Schappert, who has been selling Buicks for more than 10 years. “Their quality is unique and they’re luxurious and that’s what makes

‘‘ ’’ A Buick is a quality car

many people remain so loyal to the brand.” Schappert said that it’s surprising to see that Buick’s stereotype as an “older person’s” car just isn’t true anymore.

He said Buick is capturing a younger generation and giving the older crowd a reason to continue returning to the car they love. “It’s hard to pin-point Buick’s demographics anymore,” he said.

“And people are surprised when they test drive the new Buicks, always asking me if the car is even running; the Buick is super quiet thanks to the design, its sound-deadening material and double-insulated glass.” He shared a story about his most favorite Buick. It was a 1987 Buick Grand National. “It’s a super-charged 3.8 liter, V6 engine,” said Schappert. “It was one of the most popular muscle cars in the ’80s.” But that’s not the oldest Buick he’s ever driven. “How about a 1954 Buick Supra Convertible,” said Schappert. “It was a big yellow boat, owned by someone I used to work for.” King O’Rourke, one of the leading Buick dealership on Long Island, is located at 756 Smithtown Bypass in Smithtown.

Take Precautions When Using Backup Electricity BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

When the power goes out or gets interrupted, PSEG Long Island Power crews work with persistence and haste to safely restore all power, but sometimes a backup generator is necessary. The company encourages anyone using a generator to abide by all safety guidelines and use caution when using generators. Backup power generators should be used only as a standby power source for short periods of time, and

when necessary due to emergency. They must be installed by a licensed electrician and be sure that they meet fire underwriter regulations. The electrician who installs the generator should brief the owner on these safety guidelines and regulations. By taking precautions and following safety guidelines, hazards such as carbon monoxide poisoning, toxic engine exhaust, electric shock or electrocution and fire can be avoided. Carbon monoxide poisoning can be fatal and portable generators can produce high levels of the gas, so be sure

to have carbon monoxide detectors installed throughout the house before installing and using the generator. Make sure to keep portable generators out of enclosed or partially enclosed spaces when using them. The gas is colorless and odorless; if symptoms of nausea, dizziness or weakness become present, get to fresh air immediately. Keep the generator outside and away from any windows so that the carbon monoxide fumes cannot enter the house, and make sure three to four feet of clear space is available around the generator. Don’t connect the generator

29A

to your home’s electric wiring, because power can flow out of your home and into the electric system, creating a hazard for working crews. Do not make fuel inputs while the generator is running or still hot, and do not store the gasoline in your home. It might be necessary to turn off some appliances to avoid overload; they cannot all be used at once. Make sure that all appliances are off before starting the generator. Generator safety videos can be found on the PSEG Long Island YouTube page at www.youtube.com/channel /UCv9Gmc5Aqh0RkSS2lwN7veQ.

WORD FIND

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). While presentation is important, most people are more concerned with their own performance than they are with yours. If you can help the other person feel good about his or her own performance, you’ll win, too. This and other assets (including your warmth and competence) will make this a socially stellar week.

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND Sporting WORD Gear FIND

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may Letters 47Some Solution: run in any direction but always in a straight line. letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 47 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Effort is this thing that many people who are familiar with one another don’t bother themselves as much with. Some even consider effort from a familiar person to be a red flag -- a signal that something out of the ordinary is up. But effort sprinkled more regularly into a familiar relationship will be the spice of happiness.

Sporting Gear Solution: 47 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Establishing rapport will be pretty simple. You’ve a kind of calm enthusiasm that people enjoy. You’ll speak of positive emotions and share stories with happy outcomes. The decision to add more enthusiasm to your interactions will be the small move that has life-improving consequences. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re on the up and up, and everything about you will reflect the trend. The corners of your lips, your bank balance, eyebrows, spirits, wishes for the future -- up, up, up. You’ll attract two kinds of people: people who get into your hot air balloon basket and people who stay on the ground to anchor you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You easily see the truth. You know right from wrong and can distinguish it as clearly as you can light from darkness. And though you think in very blunt terms, you also know better than to speak in them. No one wants to hear it this week, even those very close to you. They need your warmth instead, and you’ll deliver. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your experiences have shaped you. Not just the good ones and not just the bad ones, but all of your experiences: surprising, calming, boring, nurturing, foolish, fun, painful, irritating, peaceful, beautiful -- all of them. For this you will be most appreciative. You’re open to the next adventure, and here it comes. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your competence will be celebrated, but only if you don’t advertise it too readily. Be careful not to derive too much pleasure from knowing things before others do, because while you definitely (and accurately) identify as a smart person, there are certain matters of intelligence better kept to yourself this week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Though guilt, shame and worry are all negative emotions, neuroscientists have proven that they activate the brain’s reward center, which may explain why these emotions can be so addictive. Regardless, you are stronger. This is the week you’ll break a pattern of feeling badly about something you can’t control. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Don’t be picky. Appreciate everything. You could do this because you’re supposed to, and you’ll still get some results. But if you do it for selfish reasons -- if you’re actively and enthusiastically grateful because you know it will make you happier -- things will really pick up this week. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ve gone quite a while feeling misunderstood in some respect, and you’re beginning to get used to the possibility that no one will ever totally get certain parts of you. Well, don’t give up too soon, because this week will bring a breakthrough on the matter as you seek new people and try new ways of communicating.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Polishing your talent will be the theme. This solar return brings the same 365 days as the last, but because you are creative with your hours, time will seem to stretch to accommodate you. A change in your living arrangement makes life simpler while giving you new options. Your emphasis on serving your family will bring about healing. November features social opportunities and winning teams. You’ll put your trust in something that will pay off well for you in 2019. COPYRIGHT 2018 CREATORS.COM

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You say one thing; they hear another. It’s the pattern that’s defined a relationship. Part of you wants to learn once and for all what the deal is. But you really know the deal already. It’s competition or jealousy. The threatened don’t hear so well. You’ll find a workaround, though, and enjoy a surprisingly happy outcome.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re engaged, supportive and curious -- the trifecta of reactions that anyone would want in a team member. Most people sense the importance of being engaged and the value of being supportive, but many miss the significance of curiosity. Not you. Curiosity will be the embodiment of intelligence that takes you to magical places.

To Shell And Back

Grand Central Oyster Bar is worth another visit BY STEVE MOSCO SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

T The oysters are fresh and varied at the Grand Central Oyster Bar.

he Grand Central Oyster Bar & Restaurant has been in the belly of Grand Central Terminal since 1913. Through its heyday in the 1930s to its brink of decay during the city’s dreary 1970s to its renovation renaissance in 2014, the Oyster Bar has remained a destination in a city full of destinations. Cynical New Yorkers might scoff at it as a clichéd tourist trap—but to do that is to deny oneself a meal that is classy, comforting and free of stuffy snobbery. Coming to be during the Woodrow Wilson administration, the Oyster Bar, with its arched ceilings and near-mythical bar, boasts just the right amount of nostalgic class left uninterrupted by modernity. Today, the menu includes fresh catches of the day, a raw bar, shellfish platters, lobsters, stews and pan roasts, to the surprise of absolutely no one, it’s those platters of ocean-cold oysters served atop mounds of ice that are the real draw. Much like the bar, oysters are an uninterrupted food. Plucked from the sea, oysters are shucked open carefully as to not disturb the precious ocean liquor inside. And aside from the classic accouterments of vinegar, horseradish,

lemon, cocktail sauce and maybe some hot sauce, oysters are best slurped without any influence from a chef. With that said, the restaurant does offer cooked-oyster treatments, including fried oysters, oysters Rockefeller and what is probably its most famous dishes, the oyster stew and oyster pan-roast. That one is colored with deep lusciousness of the ocean floor—strong and briny, the kind of flavor that stays in the back of your mind a week after tasting it. A busier take on oysters is the Roasted Bluepoint Oysters in a grilled pineapple-chipotle-lime butter sauce. The addition of pineapple brings an acidity to oysters that works quite well, while the mere fact that the sauce is butter-based makes it a sumptuous bite. But oysters are best simply shucked and presented. With oysters originating from up and down the East and West coasts, the bar covers all flavor profiles. There’s the briny Prince Edward Island variety; the sweet and delicate version from Baja, Mexico; the strong and metallic bruisers from Maine. No matter the taste, at any given time, the restaurant avails the public to dozens of oyster species daily, depending on weather and climate conditions, as well as the bountifulness of the harvest. Beyond oysters, the restaurant has a full section

on its menu titled “Today’s Catch” with about 20 options including whole branzino, brook trout, red snapper, arctic char, monkfish and more. One of the best catches is the whole broiled flounder, with its painfully delicate flesh and browned, crispy ends. With plenty of bones, this is a fish you take your time dissecting and eating. Back to those aforementioned pan-roasts, a dish that some of the biggest local media outlets have called the city’s greatest dish—specifically the oyster pan-roast, with it’s buttery creaminess and oceanic shock thanks to an infusion of clam juice into the recipe. It’s less hearty than a stew, but so much more than a mere soup. The silky concoction is finished with a dash of the restaurant’s secret chili sauce and a slice of white bread that soaks up all that goodness. Besides oyster, the pan-roasts are also available with clams, shrimp, lobster, Ipswich, sea scallop and a combination with everyone in the pool, served in the oyster bar’s original steam kettles. Washing down that seafood bounty is the oyster bar’s list of 70 wines, along

with 30 beers. There’s also a vast selection of spirits, with two of the restaurant’s signature cocktails—the Manhattan and martini—hitting the brain in a way that elevates the classiness of the entire dinner affair. As if great food wasn’t enough, the oyster bar’s setting brings it to a new level. The glorious tile work, dramatic arches and dark-wood walls all converge to make the dining experience feel like it is taking place within a work of art, making the restaurant perfect for elbow-rubbing at the bar or an intimate romantic meal. Grand Central Terminal itself conjures an otherworldly significance that can make anyone feel important or godlike walking through its cavernous halls and vast main lobby. Cynical New Yorkers barely take notice, but there is a reason tourists gawk at the surroundings and stand mouth-agape as they absorb the pure grandeur. So while the transit hub’s food concourse has everything from burgers to sushi to fried chicken to pitas, a stop at the Grand Central Oyster Bar is a rite of passage for all wayfarers—from wide-eyed first-time visitors to the unshakable locals.

ENTERTAINMENT

Forest Hills Stadium: More Than Just Music BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

estled within the cozy confines of a sleepy bedroom community a few blocks off of Queens Boulevard is Forest Hills Stadium. With summer 2018 in full swing, the historic venue is a few weeks into its concert season, which is taking place during the stadium’s 95th year of existence. Since reopening the building in 2013 with a preliminary Mumford & Sons concert, followed by a full slate of shows the following year, Madison House Presents music promoter/booking agent Mike Luba has brought in quite the diverse and eclectic lineup of acts. Luba’s recent bookings have included the late Tom Petty, hometown boy Paul Simon, Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, Bob Dylan and The Who (both who had also played here earlier in their careers), Hall & Oates, Chic and John Mellencamp. This year opened with Belle & Sebastian, Robert Plant, Alt-J, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats and Roger Daltrey appearing along with the New York Pops performing The Who’s Tommy. With such a strong showing so far, the promoter is plenty jazzed about who’s coming to Forest Hills Stadium in the coming months. “Van [Morrison] is back for the

third time and he’s bringing Willie [Nelson] with him. Willie has been on the bucket list from day one, so we’re thrilled that it’s hopefully going to happen,” he said. “Having David Byrne play here 35 years after, for what many people consider the last great shows here. That would be the Talking Heads in 1982 and 1983. David was on our list from day one, so I think that was kind of a dream come true.” Luba and his crew have continued with major capital projects that while seemingly unsexy, make for a more pleasant concert-going experience for patrons. Recent improvements include adding upscale Port-a-Potties with air conditioning, running water, flushable toilets and sinks. Improved drainage, paving, a better stage and box office area were also addressed. This year’s project was the construction of a 4,700 square-foot permanent bathroom facility featuring individual stalls and urinals. Early feedback from concert-goers has been overwhelmingly positive. It’s a major punch-list accomplishment that took nearly the entire off-season to accomplish, but it was well worth it for Luba and his crew. “We kind of felt like we didn’t want to take advantage of the charm of the place. There are only so many times you’ll come and go into a crappy Port-a-Potty,” he said. “These new

bathrooms make it a place that you can bring your grandmother. People have wanted legit bathrooms and they should get legit bathrooms.” Luba is also working towards making Forest Hills Stadium a multi-use facility. He’s booked EEEEEATSCON in October, which is a significant foodie event hosted by a group called The Infatuation. “These guys are kind of the taste-makers and curators of the best restaurants around the country,” Luba said. “So far they’ve done this twice in L.A., but they’re based here. They came, did a walk-through and fell in love with the place and decided to give it a shot.” There’s also a novel idea of dropping an ice rink into the middle of the stadium and creating a kind of winter village that could operate during the off-season when it’s too cold to see live music under the stars. It’s a plan the Albertson native has high hopes for. “The dream is to have an ice skating rink. That’s what we’ve been talking about. It’s not like we’re going to be doing concerts in January,” Luba said. “It’ll be the best, most fun place to go ice skating in Queens or anywhere—right in the middle of the stadium. And really, that helps us in all sorts of operational ways. We’re hoping that it’s a great thing for the neighborhood.”
