Wine Tasting Tips By Scent:

BY COLLEEN MARTIN EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

he summer sun is shining and the vineyards are calling Long Islanders to try some of their best drinks this season. Before you head out east for a North Fork wine tour, take a look at some tips to make the most of your trip. Even beginners can take part in the wine tasting with an informed sense of what to look for.

The key is to start off by taking a few short sniffs of the wine, first to detect any scent that is out of place. Any musty smell or that of vinegar or burnt matches is a sign of a spoiled wine. After checking for any off-putting aromas, you should turn your focus to fruit scents. Unless the wine is incredibly old or cold, you should be able to detect the smell of grapes. As you develop your skills, picking out

specific grapes and other fruits will become easier. Some wines may have floral, herbal or earthy scents that act as clues to the origins of the wine. Other scents—like chocolate, espresso, roasted nuts, toast or caramel— are the result of aging in new oak barrels.

By Sight: To begin, look straight down into the glass to see the dark center. Then, raise the glass to the light before tilting it to look at the color of the edges, allowing you to see the entire range of colors of the wine. When looking through the glass from the side, take into account the clarity of the wine. If it appears murky, there may be an issue with the fermentation or chemical properties. Although this isn’t always a sign of a problem, wine that is clear and sparkling is always a good thing to see. If, when the wine is tilted toward the rim, the color is brown (for white wine) or a rustic red (for red wine) then it is most likely aged or past its prime. On the other hand, if the color is pale or watery near

the edge it could be a sign of a bland wine. When swirling wine, keep the base of the glass on a flat surface. If the wine has good “legs” or “tears” running down the side of the glass, this is an indication that it will have a bigger and more mouth-filling flavor than those that don’t.

By Sip: Sip on the wine as though you are drinking out of a straw—small sips help to aerate it and make sure it reaches all throughout the mouth. The first thing to check for is balance in the wine. The flavors should not stand out individually—a good wine presents all flavors together as though they are one. As you taste the wine, allow it time to subtly change flavor. This is a sign of complexity. If the taste of the wine lingers long after you have swallowed, then the wine is complex. While this is a good sign, some beginner wine tasters do not recognize or care for the complex taste, being attracted instead to familiar flavors of fruit or vanilla.

Back In The Saddle With Stone Temple Pilots BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

o paraphrase Mark Twain, the demise of Stone Temple Pilots (STP) has been greatly exaggerated. You can’t really blame anyone for thinking that, given the tragedies that have befallen the band’s first two former singers—founding member Scott Weiland died of an overdose in 2015 while successor Chester Bennington left the band amicably to return to Linkin Park, only to die by suicide last year. But after spending 18 months exhaustively probing for a new vocalist, STP went with Jeff Gutt, who is the former frontman for nu metal act Dry Cell and a contestant on two seasons of the reality television competition show The X Factor. Interestingly enough, Gutt’s intersection with the three STP members was more happenstance, despite the fact that the trio had been searching

submission thing. I know everybody— [bassist] Robert [DeLeo], [drummer] Eric [Kretz] and myself—along with our wives, who were so supportive—put in a lot of time behind the computer going through submissions, not only once, but I went through them twice. I have well over 100 hours clocked behind my computer. It was a lot and the payoff was grim,” he explained. “You go through 20 [tapes] and you find one that’s maybe worth going back to and checking out. So, it was a lot of work and Jeff didn’t even submit to that. Robert was out with the Hollywood Vampires and they were in Detroit and somebody approached him after the show about this local guy named Jeff. Robert called me the next morning and told me to check this cat out. Jeff came [to us], we played and he was great. So that kind of kicked it off.” Like other vocalists auditioning for the STP singer’s slot, Gutt was given seven songs to sing ranging from “Interstate Love Song” and “Big Empty” to “Trippin’ On a Hole in a Paper Heart” and “Piece of Pie.” And while he duly impressed the DeLeos and Kretz, the trio wanted to see what he brought to the table creatively in the studio. The Michigan-born vocalist wound up being up to the task. “While we were floored by his talent, the question was whether he could craft a song and if he even knew how to do that?,” DeLeo explained. “It became very evident the first day we got into a room [with him] and met at Robert’s house, where we recorded most of the record. I always say that you really need to allow the song to dictate what you’re going to do to it. It’s not me, Robert or Jeff saying that we’re going to do this or that. What is the song telling you to do? Once you listen to that, you’re going to do pretty well. It was very clear that Jeff had a great sense of melody and a great sense of a song. We threw about seven things at him the first day and he came up with these incredible melodies, most of which appear on the record.” The result is Stone Temple Pilots, the band’s first full-length outing in

eight years. Gutt’s vocals are eerily reminiscent of Weiland’s and he shows comparable range, whether he’s wailing amid the soaring guitars of “Six Eight,” infusing the light psychedelia of “Thought She’d Be Mine” with a sweet vulnerability or applying the right mix of grit and growl to “Never Enough.” Most impressive is the tenderness he applies to “The Art of Letting Go,” an ethereal ballad that Gutt seamlessly navigates. And while this latest chapter in the STP saga seems to be starting off on a positive note, it doesn’t diminish the effect of Weiland’s and Bennington’s deaths to DeLeo, even beyond the repercussions it had for the band. “I think it was more of a personal thing than a professional thing. The tragedies between each person, being Scott and Chester, were very different as well. Scott was in a very long-term decline. I don’t know which hurts more—to watch that over a decade or just the suddenness [of what happened to Chester],” DeLeo said. “They’re both tragic and an incredible loss. When it’s all kind of said and done—I’m still scratching my head man. There are still unanswered questions for me. It just goes beyond words. It’s very, very sad.” At least for the immediate future, STP is gearing up to do what has always been a constant in the band’s

career—hitting the road and playing live dates in any and all markets. Concertgoers can look forward to the band having prepared a template of a few different set lists that will be

rotated on a nightly basis and features anywhere from eight to 10 songs the band has never played live before. Dates are being mapped out through September and in the

meantime, DeLeo and the rest of STP are gearing to commune with fans who have been waiting nearly five years to see the band play live. Suffice it to say, DeLeo can’t wait. “Being out playing is an aspect of our lives in STP that we just absolutely love. We love being out there, playing music and being in a room where everybody is tossing energy around,” he said with glee. “That night doesn’t just belong to us. We’re the last people that can claim

ownership of an STP show. It belongs to everyone in front of us. We don’t take that for granted and we just love that aspect of it and seeing everybody and just sharing, not only music, but love and this kindred spirit of music.” Stone Temple Pilots will be playing on June 27 with Bush and The Cult at Northwell at Jones Beach Theater, 1000 Ocean Pkwy, Wantagh.

Boxing Champs Square Off

Andre Berto and Devon Alexander will be matched up at NYCB LIVE BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

Former 147-pound world champions Andre Berto (31-5, 24 KOs) and Devon Alexander (27-4-1, 14 KOs) will battle in a 12-round showdown that headlines a stacked night of Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes live in prime time on Saturday, Aug. 4, from NYCB LIVE, home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The telecast begins at 7:30 p.m. with former world champion Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin (33-1-1, 23 KOs) facing 168-pound contender J’Leon Love (24-1-1, 13 KOs) in a 10-round bout. The exciting night of fights begins with a special edition of PBC on FS2 & FOX Deportes at 5:30 p.m. with unbeaten light heavyweight contender Marcus Browne (21-0, 16 KOs) taking on once-beaten Lenin Castillo (18-1-1, 13 KOs) in a 10-round match. The FS2 & FOX Deportes telecast will begin with a welterweight showdown between former world champion Luis Collazo (37-7, 20 KOs) against Bryant Perrella (15-1, 13 KOs). “This is an outstanding card from top to bottom with matches that figure prominently in the 147-pound, 168-pound and 175-pound divisions,’’ said Tom Brown of TGB Promotions. “Berto and Alexander are two former champions who are fighting to get back into the crowded welterweight title picture. The Peter Quillin and J’Leon Love winner factors heavily in the super middleweight championship mix. It’s compelling action for the fans at Nassau Coliseum and the ones tuned in to FOX in prime time.’’ “I’m happy to bring another action-packed event back to NYCB Live on Long Island,” said Lou DiBella, president of DiBella Entertainment. “Headlining the FOX and FOX Deportes telecast, former world champions Andre Berto and Devon Alexander meet in a highstakes crossroads battle with the winner emerging one step closer to another shot at the welterweight crown. Former middleweight champion Peter Quillin continues his comeback facing the talented J’Leon Love and Staten Island’s unbeaten light heavyweight contender Marcus Browne also appears on the card. Long Island boxing fans will want to arrive early for a tremendous undercard, with local talent as well.”

‘‘

This is all business for me, because at this point in my career, I’m approaching every fight as if it’s my last. This is prime time for me.

An exciting and accomplished fighter from Florida, Berto returns to the ring after dropping a contest last April to Shawn Porter. Berto represented Haiti in the 2004 Olympics and picked up his biggest recent triumph on FOX in April 2016 as Berto scored a fourth-round knockout of former champion Victor Ortiz in their high-octane rematch. Berto previously challenged retired legend Floyd Mayweather in September 2015 and has engaged in numerous Fight of the Year-worthy bouts, including a 2012 war with Robert Guerrero and his first fight with Ortiz. He has twice held a welterweight title, first the WBC belt, which he successfully defended five times between 2008 and 2011, plus the IBF crown he picked up in 2011 with a victory over Jan Zaveck. “This is a great fight that has been a long time coming,” said Berto. “We share some common opponents, but we have different styles of fighting and styles make fights. I’ve had a lot of success with southpaws. I’m looking forward to seeing him in front of me and capitalizing on what

’’

—Devon Alexander

I’m working on now.” Alexander returned to the spotlight in February after only fighting once since 2015 while he sought treatment for an addiction to painkillers. He looked sharp in his first big fight in years, displaying similar speed and skills that had made him a two-weight champion before being given a controversial draw against former champion Victor Ortiz on FOX, in a fight most thought Alexander had won. “I’m very excited about this fight. Berto and I have history going back to the amateurs,’’ Alexander said. “I know him very well, but we’ve never fought. I have to show that I’m still one of the best in a stacked division. This is all business for me, because at this point in my career, I’m approaching every fight as if it’s my last. This is prime time for me.” A Brooklyn-resident who has made the borough home for his whole career, Quillin returned to the ring last September when he defeated Dashon Johnson by unanimous decision. The former middleweight champion made three title defenses

after winning his title from Hassan N’Dam in Brooklyn and his only loss came at the hands of former champion Daniel Jacobs. “I’m excited to be back at home in New York in front of my fans and people I love so dearly,’’ Quillin said. “I’m coming back more polished and more seasoned and a man of God. I know J’Leon is looking to make a splash. Either he’s going to have to learn a hard lesson or give me a hard lesson.’’ The 30-year-old Love enters this fight unbeaten in his last seven contests after most recently defeating Jaime Barboza in May. The Michigan-native who now trains and lives in Las Vegas had previously defeated a slew of contenders and will look to move closer to a world title shot with a victory over Quillin on Aug. 4. “I think this is a really good matchup,” said Love. “Peter Quillin is a very talented fighter and a former world champion who is always in great shape. I’m just grateful for the opportunity to fight a spectacular fighter like him. We’ll put on a great fight.” Tickets can be purchased online by visiting www.ticketmaster.com, www. nycblive.com, or by calling 1-800745-3000.

East End Luxury

New free shuttle service makes traveling the North Fork a breeze BY JENNIFER FAUCI

JFauci@antonmedaigroup.com

“We want to encourage folks to arrive by public transportation, then we can take them around the Fork so they don’t rely on their own cars,” said Kennedy, adding that those who wish to come by car can still use the service to traverse the area. The service, which is free of charge, was designed for peak times in the summer, totaling eight weekends of availability with the last date as Aug. 25. The entire length of the shuttle circuit is about two hours and with five to six shuttles in operation equipped with

USB ports, Wi-Fi and air conditioning, wait time is minimized. “There has been a need identified for many years to solve traffic during peak periods. It is by no means a final solution it’s a start,” said Kennedy. “We have implemented a transportation solution for residents and visitors alike that helps alleviate the notion that party buses just drive around the North Fork. We take responsible people out for the day to enjoy what wine country has to offer.” North Fork Link stops at various art

Duncan Kennedy is the president of the North Fork Promotion Council. He assumed the role one year ago and has since assisted the organization in undergoing a transformation for a transportation solution. “With my background in hospitality, I took over and the first project we worked on was a pilot project for transportation,” he said “The next step was a larger project where we received funding from The Empire State Economic Development Fund (EDF) to do a bigger project for this summer.” That project came in the form of the North Fork Link, a luxurious free shuttle service that allows guests to the East End to hop on and off at various locations between Riverhead and Greenport. The shuttles run in loops, going clockwise and counter clockwise around the area from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturdays. Kennedy said the goal was to alleviate traffic issues that the North Fork of Long Island sees in the summer.

galleries, museums and retail stores in the area, including Downtown Greenport, North Fork Chocolate Company, Hallock State Park Preserve, Town Beach, The Duncan Inn and Harbes Family Farm as well as vineyards such as Bedell Cellars, Jamesport Vineyard, Castello di Borghese and Palmer Vineyards. It’s an all-around experience of the North Fork, which Kennedy hopes will broaden visitors’ itinerary when they venture out to the island. “We did a partnership with MTA/ LIRR and they have a promotion where if you buy a ticket, you get a discount to two vineyards and North Fork Chocolate Company,” said Kennedy of the travel packages. “Our goal is to promote public transportation to get here and use it while you’re here.” For more information on North Fork Link, visit NorthForkNow.org/nofolink.

Settling In, Chicken-Style

It’s a common refrain heard in classrooms and at dinner tables all across the country: “Why won’t you just sit still?” Sometimes, with kids who seem especially hyperactive, there is an alltoo-quick leap to giving the “problem” a psychiatric label and pulling out a prescription pad. Although I’m a clinical social worker by training, I find that alternative sources of knowledge (what some may refer to as old-fashioned common sense) sometimes fit best. Here’s an example: I recall a meeting with my colleagues regarding a newly formed after-school program for teenagers. A shared frustration was getting things started on time. After some conversation, it became clear that the kids eventually settled down, but it always took more time than the adults deemed necessary. One of the women, my longtime colleague Dr. Nellie Taylor-Walthrust, an alcohol and substance abuse counselor and pastor, asked her colleagues, “Did any of you ever live on a farm?” They all signaled that they hadn’t. She smiled knowingly and responded, “Well, I did. And when you grow up on a farm you notice certain things.” She went on to explain, “I’ve been

watching closely, and in the afterschool program I’ve noticed certain behavior by a number of the youngsters each time they come to the group. Whether they arrive early or after the group has already begun, they perform a certain ritual before connecting more consciously with what is going on in the group. It goes something like this: They move the chairs several times, place certain objects—coat, sweater, book bag—in a certain position on or near the chair, collect objects from their pockets or begin to crumple paper and place it in the waste basket, and so on. When confronted about their distracting behavior, they often reply, ‘OK, just one minute,’ meaning that they hadn’t quite completed their settling-in process. “After weeks of observation, I was reminded that I had seen chickens perform similar rituals before laying

TREE SERVICE FREE ESTIMATE • TREE REMOVAL • LAND CLEARING • STUMP GRINDING • PRUNING

eggs. I often wondered why they didn’t simply walk in, lay their eggs, and walk out. But instead, they would survey the nest, scratch and peck some more and sit down again. This behavior continued until they felt settled in. When the process was interrupted, I observed, they would start the ritual all over again. Now, I’m not suggesting that some youngsters are like chickens, but there seems to be a similarity in their need to release a certain amount of energy in order to focus on the task before them.” Nellie’s “down home” observations captured the essence of the young people’s waking moments. The milling process seemed to be a normal resistance brought on by the daily residue of feelings either about home or school, perhaps intended to sidestep the work at hand. For most kids, milling is a natural and normal process to be respected and left

alone, as opposed to a manifestation of a disorder or some form of pathology. The kids eventually settled down and attended to task, as did the chickens. This tale of the chickens had a soothing effect on Nellie’s colleagues, whose patience increased as a result. What does this story about restless kids and chickens preparing to lay eggs mean? Sometime a kid is just a kid. That’s not to say that, for some, careful examination, diagnosis and specialized care are necessary and should be sought. But for the others? Well, sometime they’re just being chickens. I mean kids.

NASSAU COUNTY NEWS

County Executive Laura Curran Signs Bill The new legislation allows for the creation of a bullying prevention resource website

A bill sponsored by Nassau County Legislator Joshua Lafazan ordering the creation of NassauStopBullying.org, a county-operated website to be filled with vital bullying prevention information and resources for youth and their families, was signed into law by Nassau County Executive Laura Curran July 11. The measure, which clears the way for the website to be completed before the start of the 2018-19 school year, was approved unanimously by the full Nassau County Legislature during its July 9 meeting. “When a young person is being bullied, their families might not know where to turn or how to seek relief. This new website will ensure that critical, potentially life-saving resources are just a click away,” Lafazan said. “I am deeply grateful to my colleagues for their support and proud to stand with County Executive Curran in this effort to make Nassau County schools safer places for all students to reach their maximum potential.” “There is no excuse for bullying,” said Curran. “And bullying can happen anywhere, at any time. That is why it is so important that we do all we can to protect our youth while

educating our children, parents, educators and communities on bullying prevention. Legislator Lafazan’s initiative will streamline that process by making important antibullying resources and information more accessible to all our residents.” Lafazan’s initiative directs the County’s Department of Information Technology, in coordination with the Department of Health and Human Services and the Nassau County Police Department, to create a website including: definitions of bullying; explanations

of different types of bullying; guidance for spotting bullying and bullies; and bullying prevention resources. The website will also contain resources for young people being bullied because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Under the statute, the website must be live no later than Aug. 31, be regularly updated, and contain the names and contact information for each Nassau County school district’s Dignity for All Students Act (DASA) school coordinator. In addition, the Long Island Coalition Against Bullying (LICAB) has pledged $10,000 to a public-service announcement promoting NassauStopBullying.org, said Joseph A. Salamone, executive director of the Long Island Coalition Against Bullying. “This is an important step in ongoing efforts to combat bullying on Long Island and gives victims, families and schools more centralized resources in their time of need,” Salamone said. “We would like to thank Legislator Lafazan and his team for their leadership and commitment to combating bullying as well as to all those who have worked to see this legislation passed.” —Submitted by Nassau County

Home Homesense launches first Long Island store

BY JENNIFER FAUCI

jfauci@antonmediagroup.com

raft lovers and home décor enthusiasts squealed with excitement when Hobby Lobby made its Long Island debut. But that was nothing compared to the wave of pure ecstasy that came from the recent opening of Homesense in Commack. The newest store from the TJX family of stores, Homesense offers an exciting shopping experience, including an always fresh, expansive selection of high-quality merchandise at an amazing value—from furniture to decorative accessories— and seemingly everything you never thought you needed in life. And as the first Homesense store on Long Island, it is wellworth a look. According to Emily Trent, senior vice president marketing director for HomeGoods and Homesense in the U.S., Homesense is a “true sensory experience,” which makes it different from other furniture and décor stores. “The wide variety of merchandise encourages you to touch, feel and try it before taking it home,” she said. “From rows of leather couches to a huge assortment of lighting to designer and hand-woven rugs of all sizes–Homesense will inspire you.” New merchandise arrives weekly and the price is always right, something the TJX family of brands knows how to do well. Occupying a massive amount of square footage,

Homesense offers an array of largescale furniture–from couches and sectionals to dining room tables and beds–with an incredible selection of sizes and shapes. Other areas of the store feature a rug emporium, extensive lighting department that includes hanging chandeliers and a “general store,” featuring everything from hardware to storage needs. Meeting every homeowner’s seasonal necessities, the store includes outdoor entertaining must-haves, holiday décor, unique artwork, decorative accessories and gift-wrapping essentials. The collective shopping experience is something that Long Islanders and today’s customers alike have expressed a need for. Given a lack of time and energy to go to multiple stores, a one-stop-shop like Homesense is just the answer. “We’ve seen an incredibly positive customer response to the Homesense stores we’ve already opened,” said John Ricciuti, president of HomeGoods and Homesense. “As the U.S. home market continues to grow, we are excited to bring consumers an expanded selection of quality merchandise at incredible prices, along with a new shopping experience in which they can discover and curate the home of their dreams.” Find something for every room in your house at Homesense, located at 4A, Henry St., in Commack.

t e e Sw ms a e r D BY JENNIFER FAUCI

jfauci@antonmediagroup.com

oo many times have I purchased pillows, only to toss them out a few months later due to flatness and deflation. I prefer a firm yet filled pillow, and one that will retain its shape after a fluff or two. After seeing a few infomercials for the MyPillow on QVC, several members of my family tried it and swore by it, and since my linen closet was filled with enough pillows, I decided to try it, too. MyPillow was the brainchild of inventor and CEO Mike Lindell, after he had a series of dreams back in 2004. “The first dream was the name MyPillow. I believe these dreams were divine,” said Lindell, who spent the next year inventing MyPillow. “I tried different fills, until I came up with the patented, adjustable fill that is currently in every MyPillow.” A revolutionary sleeping product, MyPillow adjusts to an individual’s need, regardless of their size or sleep position. When I ordered the pillow, I

516-883-2159

was asked a few questions, such as gender, T-shirt size, what kind of sleeper I am (back, side, stomach), and if I currently sleep with a down pillow. These answers help the company determine the correct fill level of the pillow, which allows for maximum comfort while sleeping. “It keeps your head and neck straight, not too high and not too low,” said Lindell. “I believe sleep is all about having a pillow that will hold your head the right way for the individual and hold that

position all night and not go flat.” As someone who wakes up in the same position they fell asleep in—and suffers from sever migraines—this pillow is great for me. I don’t wake up with a neck ache, don’t have to overfluff the pillow and its breathable material keeps cool, especially during hot and humid summer weather. MyPillow is washable and dryable and when you do need a bit of a boost, toss the pillow in the dryer. Lindell recommends laundering the pillow every four months, with directions on how to wash and dry on the product’s tag. MyPillow is also warranteed for 10 years and comes with a 60-day money back guarantee. With more than 40 million pillows sold, MyPillow is worth a good night’s sleep.

Color For Your Garden BY KAREN MUSGRAVE

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

he easiest and most colorful way to decorate your yard for the summer is to add plants. Not only will they rebloom all season long, they’ll come back year after year. Summer flowering shrubs include many old favorites such as roses and hydrangea. Newer varieties are more durable and help even the novice gardener realize they too can grow beautiful plants. It is July and your garden should be busting with foliage and blooms.

Crape Myrtle There was a time, not long ago, when we could not grow crape myrtle on Long Island. The plants were not hardy enough to survive our cold winter months. Luckily many of those southern varieties have been cross-bred with hardier types and we can now enjoy many crape myrtle varieties here on Long Island. Flower colors range from white to pale pink to deep crimson. Several varieties are disease resistant and drought tolerant and available in a range of shapes and sizes.

Butterfly Bush The easy care and low maintenance butterfly bush blooms throughout the summer in shades of pink, white and purple. The fragrant blooms attract birds, butterflies and hummingbirds, making them a favorite in everyone’s gardens. Butterfly bush makes an attractive backdrop for garden beds. And once established, it is drought resistant.

189072 C

Hydrangea There are hundreds of varieties of hydrangea available including lacecap, mophead and climbing varieties. ‘Endless Summer’ is one of the most popular varieties. It has rich beautiful pink or blue flowers, depending on your soil acidity. ‘Endless Summer’ blooms on both old and new growth, ensuring you will have gorgeous flowers year after year—even if you prune it during the wrong time of year. It is also more mildew resistant than other macrophylla varieties. Planting summer blooming shrubs will provide you and your family with many years of spectacular color in your garden. Fragrant roses, colorful hydrangea, crape myrtle and butterfly bush are the perfect plants to create a festive atmosphere you can enjoy all summer long. —Karen Musgrave is a marketing and education specialist with Hicks Nurseries

Traveling With Pets

BY MYLES GOLDMAN

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

ore than 68 percent of families in the United States own a pet of some sort that becomes part of the family. Unfortunately, when you want to take a family trip, whether flying or driving, there are more things to consider when bringing your pets.

Flying

While most airline companies allow you to travel with pets, certain companies enforce different rules. Certain dog breeds are completely ruled out when it comes to traveling due to their reputation or facial structure. Dog breeds such as pugs and bulldogs cannot fly due to their brachycephalic facial structure, which is known for causing breathing problems even without flying. American Airlines restricts any dogs with purported aggressive instincts such as bullmastiffs, pit bulls, rottweilers and others. Since cats tend to have more of a mellow personality and are usually smaller than dogs, airlines are more open to in-cabin transportation. However, Persian, Burmese and Himalayan cats are restricted due to their brachycephalic facial structure. Other restrictions on flying with pets are the amount allowed on the plane. On JetBlue, the company only allows a total of four pets on the plane and at the moment they are not boarding pets in cargo. However, dogs or cats cannot exceed 20 pounds combined with the weight of the carrier and do count as a carry-on item. JetBlue offers their JetPaws carrier for $50 that weighs two pounds but will keep your pet comfortable due to its plush structure. All

pets must remain under the seat and fly with your pets, the most important in their carrier for the entire flight and thing is their comfort. Make sure the you must pay a fee of $100. carrier is airline approved and your pet American Airlines allows seven pets has access to food and water. on the plane and must not exceed 20 pounds with the carrier in order to Driving travel in the cabin. Pets more than 20 A more practical alternative to pounds and up to 100 pounds must be traveling with pets is by car. Traveling stored in cargo. American Airlines with your pets is not only will not allow a dog or cat to fly in healthier, but cheaper, too as cargo if the temperature outside long as you take them into exceeds 85 degrees and below 45 the same consideration as degrees. you would with a human The United Airlines only allows family member.

walk& Presenting Sponsor:

under a seat, a wise move would be to get a carrier as big as possible so your cat has room to stretch and move around. Since cats can get aggressive, a smart move would be to spray their carrier bed with Feliway, a natural sedative used to reduce anxiety and stress when used correctly. Dogs tend to like car rides more because they experience so many more smells and see it as a second home. When traveling with a dog, never leave it in the car without air conditioning even if you’re stopping at a rest stop quickly and crack the window. On a 70-degree day, a car’s interior can go all the way up to 100 degrees or more in an hour. Dogs can get carsick as well and anxious like cats, but a comfortable crate that can be used at home and in the car can help them adjust. Whether you decide to drive to your destination or fly, keep in mind that your pets rely on you to keep them healthy even when you are on vacation.

The friendliness you pay the people around you will put you on many lists: lists for invitations or friendship; lists of prospective buyers, sellers, lovers and more. Once you make it onto the list, you’re in a position of choice. Some would call this privilege, but it’s something you earn with your generosity of spirit. Be discerning. Give respect and attention to all, but keep your inner circle very small and sacred. This will be the way to great joy and success in the upcoming solar return. COPYRIGHT 2018 CREATORS.COM

Off to New Zealand

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Small offenses are best dealt with in equally small counter-gestures of defense. If you let them go completely, no one will learn how to please you, and you’ll go on unsatisfied. So you’ll make note without blowing things out of proportion. Tell people what you want so they have a chance to do right by you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). In one-on-one situations, it’s easy to forget that everyone is representative of an entire network. When you connect with one person, you are connecting with a whole group. Keep this at the fore of your mind this week, as you will be amazed how your reach extends with a few choice meetings. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Some hours feel much longer than others. Time is elastic this week, and so is money. You can actually control the elasticity with your attention. Invest extra focus on happy moments and they’ll expand. Forget what you gave and remember what you received and you’ll feel rich. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Put feelings first and life gets simplified. It may seem like an odd approach, but for this week it will really work for you. You’ll think, “What feeling will my actions likely inspire?” “How might this person feel about this?” “What would make me feel better about the situation?” Brilliant answers will pop to mind. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There are certain tropes about wise people -- that they are often silent, and elderly, and are either metaphorically or actually hill dwellers with a higher perspective on life than the folks below. You will seek to encounter such a sage this week on your journey to becoming one. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Greater health, well-being and intelligence will depend largely on what goes into your mouth. It’s true that there’s plenty of tasty food and drink that are without nutritional value, but there’s just as much nutrient-rich sustenance that tastes amazing. Tuning up this area of your life will favorably affect all other areas. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Paradoxically, to rise above negativity and trivial irritations requires that you first burrow down into the depths of your consciousness to identify the real problem. It’s usually an affront to your ego caused by a misunderstanding or untrue belief that, like a weed, needs to be rooted out and discarded. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In the early stages of a long journey, the odds favor no one. But every move toward the finish increases the chances of success. Each positive action taken this week will change your odds for the better. The more you do in the name of winning, the more fortune will favor you for the win. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will break the hold of the past by freshening up home and work environs. This keeps you moving in current time instead of reliving yesterday’s old pattern. Clean, bright, uncluttered spaces will change the flow of energy through your life to grow (seemingly unrelated) new sources of happiness. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Relay your news in a way that helps others realize the significance. If you take the time to figure your story out in advance, it will be more compelling. Even minor personal stories that fall under the category of small talk deserve forethought. Presentation determines how things are received and acted upon. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You try to set your expectations of the outside world in such a way as to get the most excitement and satisfaction out of life. Extend that kindness to yourself. Count small improvements as the wonders they are. After all, steps in the right direction will quickly add up to remarkable entities. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). To the victor go the spoils. But what about the one who showed up every day and did just fine? Unfair as it may be, luck isn’t on the side of mediocrity this week. So you’ll aim to be outstanding -- to do more than what’s asked -- and you’ll hold yourself to standards set by you and you alone.

DINING

Wings Are The Wind Beneath BY STEVE MOSCO SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

hen National Chicken Wing Day soars in on July 29, you can bet your bones that social media feeds will overflow with photos of all that is spicy, sticky and crunchy in the poultry world. Chicken wings have a special place in the hearts and arteries of fun-loving, finger-licking eaters across the nation. No longer relegated to football Sundays, the mighty chicken wing has flown to the top of the menu with iterations that go well beyond that standard neon orange-tinged buffalo sauce. Restaurants experiment with Thai chili tastes, garlic Parmesan recipes and even peanut butter and jelly concoctions—the possibilities are endless and the rules are nonexistent when it comes to the flavor foundation of chicken wings. But a more complicated wing doesn’t necessary mean a better wing, that is why the classic buffalo and barbecue tossed wings are usually the most popular orders, with piles of napkins building at the bottom of the eater’s barstool. And while almost everyone knows and loves wings, few people know the ubiquitous snack’s origin story and even fewer know that they have Italians to thank for its creation. Picture this: It’s late at night at a bar in Buffalo, NY, sometime in the 1960s.

Frank and Teressa Bellissimo have, for some reason, ordered way too many chicken wings from their meat distributor. What are they to do with all of the bone-in morsels at their mainly Italian eatery, Anchor Bar? As most Italians

would, they found a way to transform this less-than-desirable cut into a gourmet watershed moment in the culinary timeline. Another legend of how the chicken wing as we know it was invented says

Classic Buffalo wings utilize Frank’s Red Hot as the base to its signature spicy sauce.

20180727_XAL_LNW_PG00 - 12:33 July 23, 2018

that as one of Frank’s poker games was going later into the night than usual, and he and his buddies were imbibing more alcoholic beverages than usual, Teressa went into the kitchen, grabbed some chicken wings she had planned to use as a base for chicken stock, and whipped up the spicy wings on the spot in order to soak up the booze in Frank and crew’s bellies so that they would sober up and leave the restaurant. No record exists if the ploy actually worked, or if the poker-playing drunkards instead kept the party going until the next morning. Judging how wings and alcohol are consumed these days, I’m guessing the amount of booze ingested increased after the wings were served. Whatever the true story, thanks to the Bellissimos, we have a versatile protein base—easily enhanced by professional chefs and creative home-kitchen cooks—that entire franchises have been built upon. Buffalo wings are now ubiquitous menu items at nearly every restaurant—whether that’s a pub, chain, Italian, Greek, Chinese, etc. Unfortunately, to sample the originators of the proud wing and to soak in the spicy and jubilantly messy inspiration of the Anchor Bar, one has to travel upstate to the far off land of Buffalo, which might as well be Jupiter when you live in Nassau County.

My Wings

Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza brings a mild twist to wings. (Photo Source: Facebook)

Luckily, there is no need to ever go to Buffalo, as we have more than enough restaurants dishing out exceptional wings right here on Long Island. Some of my personal favorite restaurants that either specialize in wings or just happen to serve exceptional versions include the crown jewel of wing dealers, Brews Bros. in Franklin Square; Spanky’s Food Factory in Garden City Park; Press 195 in Rockville Centre; Patrizia’s in Hicksville; Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza in various locations; Smoke Shack Blues in Port Jefferson; LL Dent in Carle Place; Spicy’s in Riverhead; Charlie Meaney’s in Valley Stream; and Dirty Burger in Plainview. Of course, if you are kitchen-inclined it could be just as easy to invent your own killer wing recipe. There’s an innumerable array of sauce and rub combinations waiting to be invented, refined and perfected, along with preparations that range from deep-fried to baked and everything in between. But if you are not a mother of invention like the patron saint of wings, Teressa Bellissimo, there are plenty of professionally curated recipes to choose from online, offering step-by-step instructions that any football-watching, beer-swilling wing fanatic can surely figure out, with minimal trouble. One of those recipes is by Food

Network personality, cookbook author and highly acclaimed Italian chef Scott Conant, whose Calabrian Chicken Wings (recipe at right) utilizes a spreadable, particularly fiery sausage known as ‘nduja from the Calabria region of Italy. Adding sausage to a wing marinade is more than inspired, it’s downright obscene in its evil genius. ‘Nduja is a pork sausage that graciously uses meat from the head of the pig—minus the jowls, which of course is used for guanciale—along with other various meat trimmings, some skin, a dash of fatback and the roasted red hot peppers that give the sausage its signature kick. For his char-grilled chicken wing recipe, Conant incorporates the sausage spread into a marinade that teems with tart lime juice, ginger and garlic. The peppery pork marinade adds a decidedly succulent essence to the classic wing experience, with those Calabrian spices flourishing across your palette. Eating Conant’s recipe clues everyone in on what has been missing from chicken wings this whole time: pork sausage. Leave it to an Italian to finish what another Italian started more than 50 years ago—thereby bringing the art of chicken wing invention full circle, sticky fingers and all.

Scott Conant’s Calabrian Chicken Wings Serves 2-4 Time: 1 hour ¼ cup turbinado sugar, such as Sugar in the Raw 1 oz. fresh ‘nduja sausage, minced ¼ cup red wine vinegar 1 tbsp. fresh lime juice 1½ tsp. fish sauce 1 tsp. Calabrian crushed hot chili peppers 1 tsp. kosher salt ½ tsp. crushed red chile flakes 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 scallion, thinly sliced One 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and minced 1 lb. chicken wings, tips removed and drumettes and flats separated 1. In a medium skillet, heat the turbinado sugar over medium-high, swirling, until it turns to a dark caramel, about eight minutes. Stir in the ‘nduja, vinegar, lime juice, fish sauce, chili peppers, salt, chile flakes, garlic, scallion and ginger, and cook, stirring, until smooth, six to eight minutes. Remove the marinade from the heat and let cool. 2. Meanwhile, in a four-quart saucepan, bring two inches of water to a boil over high heat. Place a steaming basket in the bottom of the pot, and place the chicken wings in the basket. Cover and steam the wings until cooked through, about 15 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the wings to a large bowl along with the marinade, and toss to combine. 3. Light a grill. Using tongs, transfer the wings from the marinade to the grill, and cook, turning, until the wings are charred on the outside, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a platter and serve while hot.

ood tours are a growing phenomenon, especially in the Long Island and New York City area. With so many different cultures bringing their cuisines to our backyard, food tours are a great way to sample some of the foods you may not normally order from a restaurant menu.

Food Done It? Locations in Patchogue and Huntington www.fooddoneit.com

Long Island City Food Tour

Queens www.queensfoodtours.com Beginning at 11 a.m. during the week and 12:30 p.m. on weekends, the Long Island City Food Tour takes guests off the common New York City path to “discover culinary ‘mom and pop’ gems not found in guidebooks.” Participants explore Long Island City’s industrial past, learn about its artistic present, and witness its vibrant future while savoring its unique culinary treats. Food items include a 100-year-old burger recipe, an authentic French patisserie, a rustic Italian eatery from the heart of Naples and more. The tour is 1.6 miles and features four stops, enough for a substantial lunch. The price is $65 for adults and $48 for children under 12.

The following two tours are options through Foods of NY Tours. They offer six different tours, ranging from three to 4.5 hours and from $54 to $125.

Chelsea Market and The Highline This food tour is centered around the famous Chelsea Market. A guide brings guests around the countless stalls in the market, which is notoriously overwhelming and for those who have never been, a guide is extremely helpful. Besides the delicious food, Chelsea Market offers original artwork and obscure granite sculptures. After the market, the tour goes outside to explore The Highline, New York City’s elevated outdoor park, featuring great views of the Hudson River. A popular gathering place especially in the summer months, The Highline is a slice of tranquility within the hustle and bustle of the city.

Food Done It? is an edible mystery tour, with 3-5 hours self-paced tours guided entirely by a smartphone application. The app takes participants (groups of at least three and no more than eight) through a crime scene and the only way to solve the mystery is to eat plates from local to restaurants to receive clues. You start at one restaurant where participants get a chef-featured small plate to enjoy, and find out about the recent “crime” and the characters involved.

After “interrogating” the suspects you solve puzzles or answer trivia while eating or drinking to unlock directions to the next restaurant a short walk away. For $60 plus tip, participants get a five course meal and solve a crime.

A different style food tour, Free Tours By Foot does not require an upfront fee. Instead, a guide takes guests to local spots and recommends and facilitates ordering, but the decision is ultimately up to the individual participant. Guests choose what they want to order and pay (usually about $7-$15) directly to the purveyor. Between stops, you’ll have time to digest your food as well as the history of the neighborhood, told to you by local New York tour guides.

all year round.” Charles Robson, the General Chair of the 2019 tournament and Garden City resident, noted that the location is the perfect location for player development and giving the PGA a platform to promote itself. “It’s a great championship test in terms of the playability. The players have amazing respect for it,” he said. “It’s large so it allows for a lot of people to come, watch, and be part of the championship. You got a couple hundred thousand golfers a year that come to Bethpage who will be able to identify with the PGA Championship. It promotes not only the game but the local economy.” Nassau County Executive Laura Curran talked extensively at the ribbon cutting about how Long Island will benefit from hosting the event, especially economically. “It’s expected that 1,800 temporary full-time and part-time jobs will happen, along with $100 million of money in economic generation,” said Curran. “That’s a very, very big deal for us. We’re just so grateful for this wonderful and fruitful relationship.”

or the first time in its century-long history, the PGA Championship will be coming to Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale. The tournament, which is among the four golf majors in the professional circuit, will make Long Island the center of the golf world’s attention from May 16-19, 2019. On July 12, the officials in charge of getting the course ready held a ribbon cutting for their new headquarters: a trailer in the middle of a parking lot. “We’re excited to bring the PGA Championship to you, Bethpage, Nassau County, and the state of New York,” said tournament director Scott Reid during the ribbon cutting. “This is such a storied location for the PGA.” Bethpage Black, the hardest of the five Bethpage State Park courses, has been home to a few PGA events in its history, having hosted U.S. Open tournaments in 2002 and 2009. Most recently, the course was home to The Barclays in 2012 and 2016 as part of the FedEx playoffs. Beyond its history of hosting tournaments, Reid found it important to bring the championship home to the state where the PGA Of America was first formed. “We have a great history with the state of New York,” said Reid. “Our organization was founded in New York City. The very first PGA Championship was in New York. We got a lot of people that speak very highly of Bethpage so it was a natural to look at coming here.” While getting the course ready for the third weekend of May is a top priority right now, public concerns over the traffic on the island will be among the top concerns when the event begins. “We are very fortunate to have a partner in the state of New York,” said Reid. “Right off the bat, we have access to Jones Beach for our general public parking. We’ll park everyone at Jones Beach and bring them in by shuttle. It’s a short ride, but it’ll help alleviate a lot of the congestion in this area. We’re also working with

The PGA Championship comes to Bethpage State Park next year. the Long Island Rail Road to promote using the train service to come out here. We will set up at Farmingdale train station so you can take the train, get off, and bring you over.” The championship will also be working with law enforcement and various transportation agencies to make sure everyone gets to the tournament quickly and safely, while also trying to be courteous to those on the Island trying to move around the massive event. “We will do everything we can leading up to those critical months to make sure we convey the messages about what we are doing to help with the transportation,” said Reid.

As for how they are preparing for the weather now that the tournament is moving to May for the first time since 1949, Reid said that they are hoping the weather in March as they build the foundation won’t be as bad as last year. “I think we feel very good about May itself as it relates to what the weather should be like for the actual championship,” said Reid. “Certainly, we got some potential challenges leading up to the championship because we’ll start building all the infrastructure starting March 1. At the end of the day, we are going to get it done. The great thing about Bethpage Black is that it’s kept in top condition
