New York, New York Curtis Granderson on his Metro career

BY STEVE MOSCO SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

t’s the city so nice, he played for it twice. Through stints with both New York baseball clubs, Curtis Granderson learned exactly what makes followers from the five boroughs and Long Island so fanatical about their beloved teams. “There’s a real sense of history. A sense that fans are carrying a legacy that started with parents and grandparents,” said the outfielder, who is currently in the final season of a four-year contract with the New York Mets. “Plus it’s such a large city, there are so many historical stories to tell.” Joining the Yankees via a trade in 2010 after six successful seasons with the Detroit Tigers, Granderson came to the metropolitan area with

—Curtis Granderson a reputation for an affable personality and a positive relationship with the press—but more importantly, a strong charitable streak that only grew when he arrived in the Big Apple. Granderson founded his organization, the Grand Kids Foundation in his hometown of Chicago to aid in positive youth development with education, physical fitness and nutrition— providing tools and resources for educational and societal advancement. “When I was traded to New York, it gave me the opportunity to expand the foundation,” he said, adding that he’s delved into youth baseball while in New York and also expanded in-class outreach. “We’ve been able to ask, ‘what is education?’ We’ve found that it’s not just going to class, learning something and then going home.

It’s about having proper nutrition so they can focus. On top of that, they need to stay in shape. If you’re lethargic and out of shape, it’s even more difficult to learn and focus in the classroom.” Education is more than merely a passing interest for Granderson—it’s always been a significant aspect of his life, as both of his parents are educators and his sister is a teacher at the

university level. Aside from clearly influencing how he conducts his life off the field, his academic upbringing translated to the approach he has taken ever since he first picked up a baseball glove. “I always had some room to improve,” said

GRANDERSON from page 3A Granderson, recalling his days both pre- and post-draft. “How do I take what I have and prove people wrong? And that’s where the learning process comes from. I remember my parents would talk about, ‘how do we teach these kids chemistry or how do we get them to fragment a sentence?’ The answer was always, ‘we have to start here, slowly practice and ultimately get to the desired result.’ I think being around them growing up and seeing that but not realizing what was going on, that has put me at this point right now.” Granderson’s tristate trip around the bases came to be after six strong seasons with the Tigers, which saw the outfielder reach rarefied air in 2007 with at least 20 stolen bases, 20 home runs, 20 triples and 20 doubles. He

was only the third player in Major League Baseball history to reach that milestone—the first since Willie Mays in 1957. “I was just playing and I had a lot of things go my way,” Granderson recalled of the achievement, which Philadelphia Phillies infielder Jimmie Rollins also accomplished later that same season. “A lot of it was just placement and luck.” Granderson’s career was built on much more than simply “things falling into place.” However, New York fans definitely lucked out to have the chance to experience Granderson’s gracious persona on and off the field for close to a decade. For Granderson, the feeling is mutual. “The intense passion among fans is something that is so much different [in New York],” he said. “When you talk about passion and intensity, that’s probably one of the best things I’ve ever seen. That part is going to be something that I’ll never forget.”

DINING

Bronx Belly Bombers

A mid-season taste of Yankee Stadium’s home run grub BY STEVE MOSCO

SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

he 2017 baseball season is more than half over. Summer is screaming by faster than a line drive up the middle and the Yankees are embroiled in a race for the pennant—in other words, it is the perfect time to visit the Bronx Bombers and stuff one’s face with some truly highend food that is accessible by all stadium-goers. Beyond Nathan’s hot dogs and Premio sausages—which are still there and still delicious—Yankee Stadium senior executive chef Matt Gibson wanted to make sure all fans, not just exclusive club members, have access to the full lineup of major league grub at the stadium. And so far the 2017 season has been a banner year for food at the Stadium, with new additions including Mighty Quinn’s BBQ, Bareburger, Lobel’s, Jersey Mike’s and Ben & Jerry’s, along with custom sliders (playfully called “Yankee Dingers”), a chicken diablo sandwich at Frank’s RedHot Terrace and Chinese Bao buns at the Toyota Terrace. Again, this isn’t just for premium ticket holders. The Yankees offer the Pinstripe Pass—a standing room-only option that starts at $15 and includes one 12-ounce drink and allows visitors to meander around the park with full access to social gathering bars and decks that include the Masterpass Batter’s Eye Deck, Frank’s RedHot Terrace, Toyota Terrace, Budweiser Party Decks and the AT&T Sports Lounge. Now, onto the food. Section 132 brings Mighty Quinn’s BBQ to the

Must try items include the Brisket Sandwich, a tender offering that will make your eyes roll to the back of your head. The brisket is lovingly smoked for 20 hours and served on a soft bun with pickled cucumbers and Fresno chili peppers. Mighty Quinn’s chicken wings are also incredible—slow smoked and fryer finished, the wings are tossed in a chili-lime sauce and garnished with toasted sesame seeds, scallions and cilantro. Close by in section 134, fans will find a newly constructed Lobel’s stand featuring the venerable meat purveyor’s signature prime steak sandwich and steak fries. But the real home run here is Lobel’s Meatloaf Burger. Everyone knows the best part of the meatloaf is the flavorful, caramelized ends—this burger is all meatloaf ends. It is juicy and succulent and topped

with crispy onions and cheddar cheese. Bareburger resides back in section 132 and offers its well-known commitment to using fresh, organic, responsible and sustainable ingredients. Four burgers are available here, with the surprising standout being the Guadalupe—a vegan treat with a housemade black bean burger, pickled red onions, spinach, guacamole and spicy pico de gallo served on a sprout bun. And finally, over at the Frank’s RedHot and Toyota terraces, you’ll find the best deal at the stadium in the Yankee Dingers. Twelve dollars gets you three grilled custom-ground and handsmashed mini-burgers with shaved white onions and French’s yellow mustard on a steamed potato bun. Bigger and far more flavorful than a slider chain, the Dingers pack a big punch in a small package times three. Then, at the Toyota Terrace, go international with fresh, hot Chinese Bao buns. These come in four varieties: Hoisin Braised Pork Belly Bun with cucumber, pickled carrot, lime cilantro crema and toasted sesame seeds; Rotisserie Prime Rib Bun with sautéed onions and bell peppers, white queso sauce, topped with crushed Flamin’ Cheetos; Charbroiled Chicken Bun with marinated chicken, sriracha ranch dressing and crushed Kettle chips; and finally, the enlightening Crispy Buffalo Cauliflower Bun, a vegetarian bun with tangy celery slaw and creamy blue cheese. Trekking up to the Bronx can be a massive undertaking, but the bounty of food waiting at Yankee Stadium makes the trip more than worthwhile.

Fresh Air And Tennis For All BY JOSEPH CATRONE

JCATRONE@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

It’s easy to take for granted, but sometimes a little fresh air can go a long way in a child’s life. The aptly named Fresh Air Fund understands this as well as anyone, which is why it has devoted countless hours to providing underprivileged kids from New York City a chance to participate in a slew of outdoor activities right here on Long Island. The fund’s latest activity, Tennis 4 All, was organized by Syosset High School student Bradley Greenberg, who will enter his senior year in the fall. “We’re introducing them to tennis because a lot of them have never seen a racquet or a court before,” said Greenberg. “So not only does it teach them about tennis and about a sport they’ve never learned, [it teaches] interpersonal skills, teamwork and values that they might not have learned.” “I think it’s really important to keep everyone engaged and involved, and I think that’s the aim of these two hours—to give these people the opportunity to express themselves in an athletic way,” added Greenberg’s friend Arjun Saluja, who helped out on the day of the event. “I would take

any opportunity to help others, and Bradley gave me a great opportunity to help out.” The two-hour event was held at the Syosset High School tennis courts, and featured a small but enthusiastic group of seven kids, all of whom have been taken in by a host family on Long Island for the week. Greenberg and Saluja collaborated on a schedule of activities that were geared towards teaching the fundamentals of tennis while also providing a fun, rewarding

and welcoming environment. After a brief warmup, kids were shown how to properly grip their racquets and practiced their accuracy by aiming their shots at cones, each of which hid a candy reward underneath. “We just kind of thought about what they would like to do,” Greenberg said. “We would go over baseline, service line, what all those terms are—just keep things light and airy.” “They were all very excited,” added Garden City resident Jennifer Debler,

who is hosting two kids through the Fresh Air Fund this summer. “Brad is making it so fun because he’s got challenges like candy under the cones.” Forthcoming on the Fresh Air Fund’s itinerary is a trip to Adventureland and a day at White Post Farms. Debler said that their hope is to expose kids to as many “firsts” as possible. “We have such beautiful beaches and pools and parks [on Long Island], and they just love doing the simple things outside. We consider it a cultural exchange,” Debler said. “We’re giving them a lot of firsts—first time with the boogie board, first time fishing, first time with a campfire and s’mores out in the backyard. It’s a fun-loving culture, very open, valuing diversity, learning about each other’s lives and sharing good times outside.”

Stand Up Paddleboard & Kayak Race

Join United Way of Long Island on the Peconic River this summer for a chance to support Long Island veterans and the Long Island Aquarium. The day full of fun brings companies, organizations, families and friends together for the chance to race on the river by entering a four-person team in the annual Paddle Battle Long Island Team Challenge. Hosted by the East End Tourism Alliance, the Paddle Battle will be held on Saturday, July 29, at the town docks in Riverhead with proceeds from the Team Challenge going to United Way of Long Island’s VetsBuild Program, as well as the Long Island Aquarium. The Paddle Battle Team Challenge consists of recreational stand up paddleboard and kayak races appropriate for all skills levels. Groups will compete against each other for the prestigious Paddle Battle Team Challenge trophy. Teams of four will brave the two and a half-mile race course, and the team with the overall best combined time will take home the championship trophy along with the title of Top Team. “Not only are participants in the Paddle Battle Team Challenge raising funds and awareness for Long Island veterans and their families, they are having fun and making amazing memories,” said Theresa A. Regnante, president and CEO of United Way of Long Island. “We encourage everyone, no matter your skill level, to join us in Riverhead and spend a day on the river honoring our hometown heroes.” “While it is easy to get swept up in the excitement of the Paddle Battle Team Challenge, it’s crucial for us to remember the reality of the programs we are here to support,” said Bryan DeLuca, executive director of the Long Island Aquarium. “We want to show these incredible men and women who served that we stand behind them by filling the Peconic River with tons of paddleboards and kayaks.” Teams can register for the Paddle Battle Long Island Corporate Challenge through United Way of Long Island by contacting Irene Morlock at IMorlock@ unitedwayli.org or 631-940-3751 to obtain the registration form.

Love Potions And Spells At Sands Point Preserve

BY ANTON MEDIA GROUP STAFF EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

The solution for unrequited love? Drink a potion, and watch the spell take effect. The Sands Point Preserve Conservancy will hold its annual summer opera Donizetti’s comedy The Elixir of Love on Saturday, July 22, from 6 to 10 p.m. The evening begins in the historic Hempstead House for cocktail love potions, a buffet dinner and dessert. Following dinner, guests will stroll along the Great Lawn or drive to Castle Gould’s Great Hall for a performance by the North Shore Music Festival (NSMF), which is in its seventh season at the preserve. The opera premiered in Milan, Italy in 1832. Its poignant story begins with lovelorn Nemorino, a poor Basque peasant, wooing the elusive Adina, a headstrong wealthy farm

Tod Mulder plays Nemorino Castle Gould owner. When he sees her fall for the dashing Sergeant Belcore, Nemorino resorts to using a magical love potion to win her and the games begin. The production is directed by Benjamin Spierman and conducted by Anthony LaGruth with an outstanding cast of young artists led by Tod Mulder (Nemorino), Rachel Policar (Adina),

Jeremy Moore (Belcore) and Michael O’Hearn (Dulcamara). The opera is accompanied by a full orchestra and chorus. “We had been focusing recently on the works of Puccini and the Verismo, which we love dearly, but we wanted to move back in time into the Bel Canto (‘beautiful singing’),” said NSMF’s

executive director Daniel Klein. “In Elixir, you will get plenty of it. It is charming and beautiful, a love story but not one in which the heroine dies at the end.” Tickets are $110 per person, $100 for members and can be purchased online or by calling 516-304-5076. Visit www.sandspointpreserve.org or visit the gatehouse at 127 Middle Neck Rd. in Sands Point, open daily from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. for more information.

Nassau’s 2017 Election Cycle Like Few Others Nassau will have in 2018 a new county executive, a different county comptroller, and three new faces in its 19-seat legislature, making 2017 one of the more compelling county election campaign cycles in years. Two storylines which make 2017 so unusual are the sight of Republicans distancing themselves from County Executive Edward Mangano as he faces federal corruption charges and County Comptroller George Maragos, who was twice elected as a Republican, running to succeed Mangano as a Democrat. Before taking office in 2018, those vying this year for Nassau County government’s top policy-making positions must clear a few electoral hurdles. The marquee 2017 race is for county executive and the Republican

nominee for that post is former state Senator Jack Martins. Martins’ GOP running mates include former state Assemblyman Steve Labriola, who wants to be the next county comptroller, and incumbent county clerk Maureen O’Connell. She is seeking re-election to another four-year term. Martins will face on Tuesday, Nov. 7, the winner of the Tuesday, Sept. 12, Democratic county executive

primary between county Legislator Laura Curran (D-Baldwin) and county Comptroller Maragos, who became a Democrat in 2016. It is unclear as of this writing who will be opposing Labriola and O’Connell in November because Comptroller Maragos recruited Ama Yawson to run for county comptroller in September’s Democratic primary. The Maragos slate also includes county clerk candidate Carl DeHaney. Legislator Curran is, however, the Nassau Democrats’ official nominee for county executive and the designation for county comptroller at the Democrats’ nominating convention went to Long Beach City Manager Jack Schnirman. Dean Bennett is running on the Curran ticket as the county clerk candidate. The three county legislative seats which will have new faces next year are the ones in the 5th, the 13th and the 15th legislative districts (LDs). The 5th LD is represented today by Legislator Curran, who is vacating that position at year-end, no matter how her county executive bid ends. Nassau’s Democrats tapped Freeport Village Trustee Debra Mule as Curran’s successor but Mule will face a Tuesday, Sept. 12, primary, too, with at least three challengers having indicated they want the Democratic nomination in the 5th LD. Kathleen Spatz of South Hempstead is the GOP’s nominee for county legislature in the 5th LD. In the 13th LD, a vacancy is

occurring because of the year-end retirement of Legislator Norma Gonsalves (R-East Meadow), the legislature’s presiding officer. State Assemblyman Thomas McKevitt (R-East Meadow) is running to keep this seat in the Republican column and he’ll face Democratic nominee Eileen Napolitano, who ran unsuccessfully against Legislator Gonsalves in 2015. Besides East Meadow, the 13th LD covers communities such as North Bellmore, North Wantagh and Seaford. The opening in the 15th LD emerged a few weeks ago when the incumbent county legislator, Dennis Dunne, resigned after being appointed a Hempstead Town Councilman. John Ferritti is the Republican nominee to succeed Dunne in the 15th LD. Michael Sheridan is the Democrats’ choice in the 15th LD, which includes Levittown, Salisbury and portions of Bethpage, East Meadow and Wantagh. Given Dunne’s departure, the Republicans now hold an 11-7 majority in the county legislature while also having incumbents as county executive, county comptroller, and county clerk who were elected in 2013 with GOP support. County clerk O’Connell is the only one of the three countywide office holders, however, who has the Republican party’s backing in 2017. Mike Barry can be reached at mfbarry@optonline.net.

A Tree for All Seasons

In a four-year span during the mid- to late-1990s, my now-grown children lost three of their grandparents and their dog. My boys were 10 and six when my father died in 1994. Three years later there were three more losses. My mom died in 1997. A little more than one year later my father-in-law and dog Kirby, a cairn terrier, died on the same day in August 1998. My wife and I were in Quebec City at a music festival, at the time, on our first extended vacation away from our children when we received the news in two heartbreaking telephone calls just six hours apart. As a mental health professional who has spent time with bereaved children and adults over many years, I had extensive knowledge about how children process death at different ages. Over the years I developed good skills in listening and gently encouraging the expression of feelings through talk and play. But I also knew that addressing the death of strangers was not the same thing as coping with one’s own losses. Like so much that I have struggled with as a parent, I knew I had to put my credentials aside and simply do the best I could to support my family and take care of myself, as I was bereaved as well. Soon thereafter my family and I experienced another death—this time with

an impact I had not expected and effects that linger to this day. In our yard was an old pine tree that had to be felled after it contracted a disease. None of the tree “experts” that I employed could bring it back to health. It was a splendid tree of great character, oddly shaped, home to a squirrel’s nest and countless birds, and with branches sitting low enough for swinging and climbing. Its trunk was thick enough to run around to evade contact during games of tag. It was free enough of branches in one high spot to support a backboard and hoop. It wasn’t easy to dribble on the grass but it was just perfect for endless games of H-O-R-S-E. On the warmest summer days its shade offered respite from the oppressive sun. Each fall I was left with the unpleasant task of raking pine needles. But our tree also bore pine cones that I threw into the winter fireplace for

extra snap, crackle and pop that rivaled Rice Krispies. It was our family tree, a tree for all seasons. Today, when I look outside or sit in the yard I am flooded with memories of my old friend and the times we had together. We’ve planted a few new trees around the perimeter of the yard in the intervening years, but the hole in the center remains. Henry David Thoreau wrote, “I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow to keep an appointment with a beech-tree, or a yellow birch, or an old acquaintance among the pines.” Life is full of surprises, and it came as a surprise to me to think that I would one day be thinking about how much I really loved that old tree.

Save On Your Summer Road Trip BY NATHANIEL SILLIN SPECIALSECTIONS@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Are you packing up your car and hitting the road this summer? You’re not alone. According to a survey conducted by AAA, road trips are the most popular type of vacation for families in the U.S. in 2017. In fact, 10 percent more families are expected to take road trips this year than last. From driving to the tip of Cape Cod,

to seeing the Great Lakes all the way to a drive through the Yosemite Valley, there are limitless ways to explore on the road. Whether you’re visiting family or taking an epic adventure, a road trip can be a great way to make travel about the journey rather than the destination. Before you hit the road, make sure your car can handle the trip. Before you pack up your car, it’s a good idea to take

your car to a mechanic and ensure that it’s ready for the drive. Having your car inspected and serviced by a mechanic before a road trip can be a worthwhile investment that could both save you money and prevent an untimely breakdown. Looking into a rental car is an alternative you may want to consider if you’re hoping to avoid wear and tear that might depreciate your car’s value.

ANTON AUTO GUIDE • JULY 19 - 25, 2017

Summer is here and so is the scorching heat, high humidity, heavy rain and stop-and-go traffic. Summer can take a toll on your vehicle and it is important to know your limits. Allstate suggests taking a few preventative measures to keep your car rollin’ down the road instead of being stranded beside it. “Safety should be a priority when in the car,” said Jaclyn Darrohn, Allstate spokesperson for New York. “It’s essential for people to know how important it is to prepare your car for the summer.”

Keep Your Car ‘Cool’ This Summer

Here are five tips to keep your car cool this summer:

Check Your Cooling System

One of the greatest causes of summer breakdowns is overheating. Overheating can be serious and may result in permanent engine damage. Be sure to check the coolant level. If low, add antifreeze as necessary.

Summer’s heat and humidity will worsen the condition of deteriorating belts and hoses. Hose or belt failure can result in a breakdown. Inspect belts and hoses for excessive cracks, frays, leakage or swelling.

Be sure to check your gas cap. This is a critical component of your vehicle’s emission control system. If it is not airtight, it could lead to triggering your vehicle’s “check engine” or “emission service” light on your dashboard.

Tires

If you used winter tires, now is the time to change to your summer tires. Have your tires rotated at 5,000 mile intervals or as recommended in your owner’s manual. Summer heat also causes the air in your tires to expand. Occasionally check your tire pressure while the tires are cold and

adjust accordingly. Be sure to check spare tires as well.

Brakes

Hot weather can increase the temperature of your braking system, causing brake pads to wear more quickly. If brake pads wear through, it can lead to sever rotor damage. —Submitted by Allstate

To make this cost more manageable, you can take advantage of apps that help you find the best gas prices in your area. In certain cases, you may also want to consider renting a more fuel-efficient car. You can save even more by mapping your trip ahead of time to avoid road tollways and construction that might slow you down. Keep kids entertained to avoid unnecessary stops. Kids tend to get antsy in the back seat, which can lead to more frequent stops and a few impulse buys if you’re not prepared. Packing snacks and meals ahead of time can help you avoid making extra purchases at the gas station, and will often be cheaper. Also have a plan for keeping your kids entertained. Let them choose a few

activities ahead of time, like preparing a road trip playlist or making a game like road trip bingo. If you have a tablet or phone, downloading games, podcasts or movies can be another option. One other way to save on your road trip is to ensure that your home is protected while you’re gone. If you can, ask a neighbor, friend or family member to keep an eye on your house. If you can’t find someone to help, you can call U.S. Postal Service to hold your mail while you’re away. Double-check that you’ve locked all doors and windows, including the garage, and that you’ve

set your alarms and put your lights on a timer. Bottom line: Road trips can be an adventurous and inexpensive way to see the country, but costs can add up if you’re underprepared. Planning stops and packing to anticipate needs could help you enjoy the ride rather than worry about the expenses.

BY NICOLE LOCKWOOD AND JOSEPH CATRONE EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

On July 1, brave participants took part in a first of its kind event called Over The Edge, in which people agreed to rappel down the side of the Tower at Nassau Community College, the campus’ tallest structure, to raise money for its affiliated programs, organized by the Empower, Assist, Care (EAC) Network, a Long Island and New York City-based social service agency. Editors Joseph Catrone and Nicole Lockwood, had the opportunity to participate in the day’s event.

Don’t Look Down

JC: That Saturday morning, I met up with Nicole and we made our way towards a cacophony of voices, the loudest of all coming from the PA system. I’d been warned beforehand that they’d be announcing our names, but for whatever reason, it never occurred to me that people would actually be watching me do this. Every journalist dreams of recognition for his or her work, but this isn’t exactly the sort of notoriety I’d had in mind. NL: Everyone was all smiles as they handed us a waiver to fill out and a swag bag filled with a T-shirt, sunglasses, and other items. I quickly realized was a feeble attempt to offset the realization that I may not make it out alive. JC: I had always been taught to never sign a document without reading it, but this is one instance

where I probably should have. Seeing “I understand these activities are inherently dangerous and can lead to serious injury or death,” in all caps, did nothing to alleviate my uneasiness. My cohort put on a brave face, remarking that this activity was supposed to be relatively foolproof, but I felt fully confident in my ability to put that notion to the test. NL: “I know, understand and appreciate these and all other risks that are inherent by my participation in the activities and I hereby personally assume all such risks, whether foreseen or unforeseen.” Surprisingly, this statement, and the rest of the double sided paper outlining everything that could possibly go wrong, didn’t frighten me as much as it should have. After taking an elevator up to the top floor of the building, we reached the preparation room. In it was a table lined with harnesses, hooks and helmets. JC: And in case there wasn’t a big enough crowd outside, a giant monitor allowed those of us in rappelling limbo a full view of each participant as they made their descents. There Editors Nicole was even a mystery Lockwood and man in a chicken suit, Joseph Catrone coolly strutting his way

towards the ground below. For the first time in my life, I wondered if maybe wearing a giant chicken outfit might help me to feel less ridiculous. NL: When asked by those in the room whether I was nervous, I replied honestly that I wasn’t. That is until the chicken man himself disrobed and revealed himself as the staff member responsible for getting us geared up. Upon reaching the top of the tower, participants were met by expert rappellers who summed up the details of a 170-foot plunge in just a few

minutes. The most important takeaway—don’t look down. JC: He then informed us that, if we got stuck, we should stick out both of our arms; the airborne equivalent of scarlet letter punishment, or a dunce cap, if you will. As scared as I was at the thought of moving down a building at any speed, my goal instantly became to avoid getting stuck at all costs. NL: With that, we were off, offering an unconvincingly confident thumbs up to the cameras. JC: Without a doubt, the most

frightening aspect was allowing my body to dip “over the edge.” The safety measures provided make it so that it’s virtually impossible to mess up, but regardless, the sensation is akin to a leap of faith, totally blind, and seemingly letting go of everything. NL: After that initial step, the 170-foot drop breezed by, but with enough time to look at my surroundings. I probably let out a few unnecessary shrieks along the way, but I’m assuming I was up too high to be heard, I hope. JC: From several feet below, Nicole shouted what sounded like some words of encouragement, and I attempted to return the favor, only to find that she was quickly moving out of earshot. My descent may not have looked pretty, and I’m sure my technique left much to be desired, but I managed to find a middle ground between getting stuck and falling. I even willed myself to pick up speed about halfway down. NL: Mid-descent, suddenly the waiver, the chicken-suited man and the fear of impending pre-approved death subsided. I was humbled knowing that I had been one of hundreds of people who set aside their fears in the name of charity. At the bottom, people asked if it was something we would ever do again, to which we immediately replied, “Without a doubt,” and meant it.

Fired Up Firefighters At Atria BY NICOLE LOCKWOOD

NLOCKWOOD@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

The mid-90-degrees weather on Thursday, July 14, was only matched by the heat emanating from the grills at the annual chef showdown at Atria on Roslyn Harbor, a luxury senior apartment community, where the facility’s staff went head-to-head with the East Meadow Volunteer Fire Department. Though everyone was eager to try the food, those in attendance were also well aware of the significance of the event, co-hosted by the Nassau County Firefighters Museum and Education Center, and its purpose, which was to honor local firefighters. The competition also sought to bring awareness to cooking and barbecuing safety. “It’s a fun day with a bunch of firefighters who love to cook, and love to eat, and the nice thing is we all get to spend time with the residents here, talk to them and answer any questions they may have,” said John Murray, Nassau County Firefighters Museum and Education Center chief instructor. Every year, we talk to many of the residents about safety things and any concerns they may have, but at the end of the day they get to eat some great

food from our finest firefighters. Both participating teams prepared an assortment of ribs, burgers and chicken, incorporating corn as the special secret ingredient of the day. The East Meadow firefighters were hard at work for much of the afternoon, cooking burgers, chicken and their signature spare ribs, marinated in barbecue sauce prepared with citrus fruits, with a side of corn salad.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s good to be liked, but only if you’re liked for what you want to be. That is the dangerous thing about pretending. You never know when someone’s going to believe the pretense -- or worse, prefer it. And what if that someone is you? Well, that’s when pretending becomes legitimate change.

Solution: 28 Letters

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Frustration is born of the discrepancy between expectation and actuality. You may have realistic expectations and yet reality seems not to want to obey. That’s the prerogative of reality. Your acceptance of this is where things get interesting. This week you’ll be set apart for your ability to rise above and roll with it. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In cellphone conversations and in life, lost connections are usually caused by outside interference. For this reason, try not to take the dead line personally. The environment is typically beyond our control and impervious to our intentions. This reality has you all the more grateful when things do go your way. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Some compliments will be hard to accept this week. Seemingly misaligned, they land awkwardly inside your self-concept. You’re still getting used to what other people see in you. Regardless, a simple “thank you” will suffice for now. You’ll soon find equilibrium between what you like about you and what they do. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When a solution comes easily, you’ll move on to the next puzzle. When it doesn’t, you’ll keep after the one you have until there’s a breakthrough. Either way, you’re working on a problem. That’s what life is. So there’s no point in wishing you didn’t have problems. Such wishing only creates bad feelings. Love your problems. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There’s tension. You’re not imagining it. Subtle conflicts are happening around you. More people are aware of this than are letting on. To be aware of the layered nature of social dynamics can be both a blessing and a curse. You’ll find a benefit from your special knowledge if you stay somewhat detached from it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If it makes sense to you, it makes sense. You get to create your own rules of logic -- then again, so does everyone. Your effectiveness has as much to do with understanding your own logic as it does with understanding theirs. Jostle your thinking to match up with another person’s and you’ll have the golden ticket. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). What’s a weed, really? Some “weeds” are prettier than the plants that were originally intended. Even so, a garden is a plan, and a weed isn’t part of the plan. Your personal growth is getting a bit weedy, as unwanted influences creep in. It’s nothing you can’t root out, once you decide what does and doesn’t belong. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). To know the scale of a thing, you need a comparison by which to measure. For instance, the scale of a problem is determined by the size of the person experiencing it. This week you will try on different mindsets. You’ll inflate your mind, heart and spirit to its largest size and view the trouble as much smaller. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Observation will bring you much -- not joy exactly, or even good fortune in any form you can quantify. But you’ll be more engaged with life in all its tones, colors and complexities. This is something better than happiness. It’s being a part of what matters. The witness is the first agent of change. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you make a mistake, even a small one, you tend to magnify the importance of it as though, by blowing it up, you can learn more from the pain. When another person makes a mistake, you do the opposite. You diffuse the attention and minimize the damages. Is there a place in the middle that’s appropriate? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Complaining to those who are not in a position to fix the situation is ineffective and a bad habit to fall into. But to air a grievance to the one who can rectify it may not only solve your trouble this week; it could bring a level of awareness that helps a lot of other people, too. You’ll be an advocate and maybe even a hero.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

It would be easy to dismiss some things that happen as bizarre flukes, but there’s something that sticks with you that you won’t be able to shake -- the example you learn from, the fact you can’t deny, the kernel of truth that grows into the tree of life. This solar return you take in more of it than ever, and as a result you become truly wise and able to go to greater heights of joy and effectiveness. The people beside you are both cheerleaders and profoundly attentive benefactors. COPYRIGHT 2017 CREATORS.COM

MUSIC FEATURE

311 On A Roll At Great South Bay Music Fest BY KIMBERLY DIJKSTRA

KDIJKSTRA@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

The music gods smiled upon concertgoers on Friday night. Or maybe it was the weather gods. Some divine power intervened to allow The Wailers and 311 to play rain-free sets to enthusiastic fans. Unlike day one, which featured Long Island’s own Taking Back Sunday and New Found Glory, day two of Great South Bay Music Festival was not poured on as the forecast predicted. Now in its 11th year, the four-day “American themed” cultural event draws thousands to Shorefront Park in Patchogue. The spirit of Bob Marley was on stage with The Wailers, including original members Donald Kinsey and Junior Marvin and successors to Wailers royalty Josh Barrett and Aston Barrett Jr, children of founder Aston “Family Man” Barrett. The legendary group played favorites “Three Little Birds/One Love” and “I Shot the Sheriff,” pulled out some new tunes like “Walk and Talk” and also played a cover of Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode.”

After the sun set somewhere behind the gray wall of clouds surrounding the park, headliner 311 took the stage, opening with single off the new album Mosaic “Perfect Mistake.” The album was much-anticipated after a three-year gap. “We love playing this place. You guys are awesome,” said Nick Hexum, vocalist and guitarist. The hour-and-a-half set included seven titles from Mosaic, leaving no room for anything from Uplifter (2009), Universal Pulse (2011) or STER3OL1TH1C (2014). Conspicuously absent was “Sunset in July.” The theme song to summer was a major favorite when the band played the festival in July 2015. Much like the set played at Hammerstein Ballroom three days prior, the set list highlighted the best of Mosaic, including “Too Much To Think,” “On A Roll” and the unusually pop-y “’Til the City’s On Fire,” which could easily fit in on Z100 among Katy Perry and Pink tunes. The band played as many singles from past albums as could be expected, such as “All Mixed Up,” “Come Original,” the never-not-played “Amber” and

Nick Hexum tosses a guitar pick into the audience. (Photo by Arien Dijkstra) show is simple, but visually stimulating—by just the right amount. 311 has as much energy on stage as they did when they started playing together 27 years ago. Word on the street is the next 311 Day will take place on Long Island, a radical change from the usual New Orleans and Las Vegas settings. If this unconfirmed rumor comes true, a lot of local fans would be very happy. Days three and four of the festival, featuring Gov’t Mule, The Zombies and many more, had bright and beautiful skies for festival-goers to enjoy. Founder and organizer Jim Faith put together another great festival filled with uplifting music, liberally flowing beer, local vendors and genuine fun. Visit www.greatsouthbaymusic festival.com for more information.

“Beautiful Disaster.” Hexum introduced “Do You Right” as a “happy slamdance song,” which the crowd was all too delighted to make reality. When Nick Hexum says “everybody jump”… everybody jumps. The show lacked a P-Nut bass solo, which is practically unheard of at a 311 concert. However, the crowd ate up Chad Sexton’s drum solo followed by invigorating collective drum line. With a catalog of hundreds of songs, 311 can never get to them all, not even at mega 311 Day concerts. The quantity of quality tunes ensures the band never has to play the same show twice. The ever-evolving hip-hop-reggaedancehall-rap-rock-alt band could name their next album “Pixelated” after the Lite Brite-esque backdrop to the stage on this tour. The digital light

Tough Mudder comes to Long Island BY NICOLE LOCKWOOD NLOCKWOOD@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

ne of the toughest obstacle courses is set to make its muddy mark on Long Island this weekend. On Saturday, July 22, the Tough Mudder full course will take place at Old Bethpage Restoration Village, followed by the half on Sunday, July 23. The full, a 10-mile course consisting of 23 obstacles, and the half, a five-mile course with 13 obstacles, tests participants’ strength, agility,

endurance and teamwork capabilities, with the added difficulty of performing tasks while trekking through the mud-laden paths. Despite the course chosen, competitors should keep a few things in mind when preparing themselves, both mentally and physically.

Hit The Gym While it is possible to go into the Tough Mudder without any prior physical training, it is certainly not recommended. Listed on the website

are several workout plans, tailored to each course and the amount of time leading up to the event. It is in an entrant’s best interest to perform all or some of the suggested conditioning to make the most of the race.

Sleep And Eat Well While running and weightlifting sets a good foundation prior to the event, it is only part of the equation. In the days and weeks leading up, it is advisable that one nourishes their body well and consistently gets enough sleep. A balanced diet of protein, carbohydrates and fats, loaded with fruits, vegetables and lean meats, is encouraged.

The Tough Mudder is a true team effort, as partners and groups must work together to get each individual over walls, under barbed wire, through freezing water and more. While it is often preferred to work with people you know, don’t sweat it if all your friends offer confused looks upon your invite. Those who have participated in Tough Mudders previously have noted that complete strangers often assist one another, happy to help fellow participants to the finish line. Registration is still open for both the Tough Mudder full and half courses, with varying prices. To RSVP and for more information visit www. toughmudder.com.

MUSIC

Graham Nash: Time Loves A Hero BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

t’s hardly an exaggeration to say that in his 75 years on this mortal coil, Graham Nash has lived the equivalent of multiple lifetimes. As a musician, he’s made his mark as a founding member of The Hollies, Crosby, Stills & Nash and its various permutations, in addition to having a respectable solo career. The native of Blackpool, Lancashire, has also indulged his creative impulses via a lesser-known but equally lauded foray into photography. All this on top of being a proudly liberal social activist who has always been vocal and active in causes that have had him pen songs while railing against everything from nuclear waste dumping (“Barrel of Pain”) and what happened at the 1968 Democratic National Convention (“Chicago”) to overly-aggressive defense policies (“Military Madness,” “Soldiers of Peace”) and injustices within the justice system (“Prison Song”). And given what’s currently going on in our nation’s capital, Nash is just as outspoken at this time of his life. “I think this administration is setting America back at least 50 years. I think they are incredibly stupid. I don’t see how you get a head of the EPA that doesn’t believe in climate change. That’s insane. We deserve better than this,” he pointed out. “What are we teaching our children about this? That you can [sexually assault women] and think it’s alright and kiss them whether they like it or not? You can’t normalize this presidency. A lot of people won’t even call him president and that’s a good but small way to resist and we must resist.” On the personal front, the last few years have been ones of change. A public falling-out with David Crosby has essentially signaled the end of Crosby, Stills and Nash reuniting, with or without Neil Young. Nash’s 38-year marriage to Susan Sennett ended in divorce last year, on the heels of his 2013 memoir Wild Tales: A Rock & Roll Life. It also spurred his return to the studio for 2016’s This Path Tonight, his first solo studio outing since 2002’s Songs For Survivors. Nash is clear about the impetus behind this latest collection of songs. “I was married for 38 years and was not in love the last decade or so of that marriage, and realized at 75 I need to be as happy as can be for what is the rest of

my life,” he explained. “And the universe continues to smile on me, and when my marriage broke up, I fell in love with this beautiful, talented, spiritually, wonderfully educated bright woman here in New York City. Her name is Amy Grantham and she’s a fabulous artist.” At the three-quarter century mark, Nash has no intention of slowing down. With former Bruce Springsteen sideman Shayne Fontayne (who produced the latest album) as his creative partner for the last handful of years, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer is intent on looking forward and playing smaller venues like Landmark on Main Street, many of them for the first time. Nash perks up when asked what fans can expect when they come to see him at an intimate space like this. “The truth is, with these smaller theaters, I can

see the audience. I can look in their eyes and know if I’m making a connection. It’s important. I don’t want to be some performing puppet up there. I want to interact with the audience and let them know how I want to be there and how great this moment is tonight,” he said. “I’m tired of seeing people where it’s obvious they don’t want to be there. I saw The Police on their last big tour, about five years ago, and it was obvious that they didn’t even like each other and you can’t fool an audience, they’ll pick up on that immediately.” Graham Nash will be appearing on July 22 at Landmark on Main Street, 223 Main St., Port Washington.
