Jeff Beck’s Rock & Roll Life BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

n the annals of rock and roll history, Jeff Beck will always be considered part of the Big Three of highly influential guitarists that came out of the UK in the mid- to late-1960s. Like the other two, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page, Beck served time in The Yardbirds. But unlike his peers, Beck has spent the past five-plus decades charting a career course that’s found him traveling down broader musical byways that have made it far more difficult to pin him down musically. And he wouldn’t have it any other way. This supremely talented instrumentalist, who is considered a “guitarist’s guitarist” has seen his schedule ramp up considerably in the past two years. In 2017, Beck released Live at the Hollywood Bowl, which chronicled his 2016 performance at this storied venue that commemorated 50 years of his musical career. This year not only sees him hitting the road with Paul Rodgers (Free/Bad Company) and Ann Wilson (Heart) for the Stars Align Tour, but the release of Still On the Run: The Jeff Beck Story, a documentary that does a deep chronological dive into the life of this notoriously private British musical icon. Featuring testimonials from the likes of Rod Stewart, Slash, Jan Hammer, Ronnie Wood, Clapton and Joe Perry, along with plenty of insight from the film’s subject, it shines a light on the hot rod-loving Brit and his quest for new and different creative challenges that have added up to such a unique musical career. Not surprisingly, it was a project the unfailingly polite and self-deprecating Beck didn’t want to necessarily be a part of. “I turned it down, probably twice or three times. But they kept coming back and they were so sweet and said they were going to do the best job they could. It was really touching for me too when I saw it. I wondered where the money went—maybe it was in bribes,” he said with a laugh. “Eric Clapton said such generous things that were so touching to me. There was always this almost unhealthy acid feeling in The Yardbirds where [the narrative was] that he hated me because I replaced him. The stories in the band were that he was a moody, aggressive young guy who would knock you off. Then I met him for the first time. I’m not saying he wasn’t without mood sometimes, but I was too. So what? We were young and trying to get there.” Beck’s talents have not only found him carving out quite an impressive solo career, but led to his working with a wide range of artists including Diana Ross, Cyndi Lauper, Morrissey, Seal, Donovan, Stanley Clarke, Les Paul, Kate Bush and Toots and the Maytals. Through it all, his enthusiasm and appreciation of his fellow musicians is undiminished

and genuine. He gets a kick out of recounting seeing Jimi Hendrix play in England for the first time as a relative unknown. “I saw maybe one of the first or second shows [Hendrix] ever did [in England] at Queensgate. I’ll never forget it. It was a funny thing because nobody knew who he was and it was just a bunch of models there—mostly girls wearing Carnaby Street stuff. And he comes on and starts ‘Like a Rolling Stone’ and playing the guitar with his teeth and I thought, ‘What am I going to do tomorrow?,’” he recalled with a laugh. “I was coming out of that show and saw Pete Townshend, who asked, ‘What’s he like?’ I said, ‘He’s like you, without the arm swing.’” Another favorite anecdote focused on pressuring his label, Epic Records, to have him record with Stevie Wonder. “I refused to do anything until they hooked me up with him. I was pretty adamant that I wanted to play with Stevie. They said he was doing supper clubs and singing songs like ‘For Once In My Life.’ I had that For Once In My Life album, which is fantastic. I thought, ‘How is this going to work?,’” he said. “I was told if they wrote a song and played on his album, then it would be fair [for him to do the same]. I go over there and—what an education. I can’t explain it, but the music just poured out of him. He’d sit at the clavinet, sing gibberish

lyrics and all of a sudden a song was born, right in front of me. Just to watch him play, the way he did. ” Currently on the road with Rodgers and Wilson, Beck was anxious to play live having been out of commission last year after undergoing a surgical procedure and not having been in the studio for 18 months. “I didn’t want to be two years off the road, which is the last time we toured and I played the Hollywood Bowl. I had to sit out last year because I had a shoulder operation. It was over in a day, but it was a year of agony. I couldn’t put a T-shirt on over my head for six months. So I just sat by the pool and it was a brilliant summer,” he said. “I was thinking that I should be doing something, and I really understood what it was like to be challenged. I couldn’t even push myself off the chair, but it’s all better now and it’s all looking good. We’ll hopefully have three incredible diverse shows with Paul and Ann’s voices, loads of memories, loads of great new stuff and somewhere I fit in the middle.” Jeff Beck will be appearing on Aug. 14 with his Stars Align Tour with Paul Rodgers and Ann Wilson at Northwell @ Jones Beach Theater, 1000 Ocean Pkwy, Wantagh.

August Movie Previews BY CHERYL WADSWORTH

EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

ike most people, you are probably scratching your head trying to figure out how August is here already. However, there is still a whole month left to swim, sunbathe and, of course, take in some great movies.

Disney’s Christopher Robin (PG) Everyone’s favorite silly old bear comes to the big screen on Aug. 3 in Disney’s Christopher Robin. The film is directed by Marc Foster and stars Ewan McGregor, Bronte Carmichael and Hayley Atwell along with the voices of Jim Cummings and Brad Garrett. I’m sure all of us at one time or another has read or seen something having to do with the classic Winnie The Pooh. This movie is inspired by the classic books and follows Christopher Robin, who is now an adult and has lost all of his imagination and joy for life. Pooh and his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood attempt to re-enter his life again to inspire him to find his creativity once again. A terrific family movie for everyone.

The Meg (PG-13)

On Aug. 10, The Meg opens in theaters. Directed by Jon Turteltaub, the film stars Jason Statham, Li Bingbing, Rainn Wilson, Ruby Rose, Winston Chao and Cliff Curtin. Based on the 1997 book Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror, written by Steve Alten, this movie is action-packed, set 200 miles off the Chinese coast featuring a 75-foot long prehistoric shark named the Megalodon. Supposedly extinct, it catches the crew of a submersible research lab off guard leaving them stranded. Jonas Taylor (Statham) is a diver who must rescue them and destroy the monster before he reaches the mainland. I for one can’t wait to see Statham in action in this science fiction/horror movie.

Alpha (PG-13) Directed by Albert Hughes, Alpha debuts on Aug. 17. Starring Kodi Smit-McPhee, Leonor Varela and Jens Hulten, this movie is an American historical drama set 20,000 years ago in Europe. After a Steppe Bison hunting excursion goes wrong, a marooned young man struggles against the weather and terrain with hopes to find his way home. During his quest to survive, he develops an unlikely friendship with a wolf. An interesting adventure film sure to pull at your heart strings.

The Happy Time Murders (R) On Aug. 24, The Happy Time Murders debuts, directed by Brian Henson. The movie stars Melissa McCarthy, Elizabeth Banks, Maya Rudolph and Joel McHale. This movie has been the subject of a lot of controversy and even lawsuits due to the depiction of what some are saying is a gross misrepresentation of the famous Muppets. The film follows a puppet private investigator and his former tarnished partner as they try and solve the mystery surrounding a serial killer murdering off the puppets from a 1980s children show. I strongly recommend you do not take your children as it is very graphic both sexually and with violence.

Juliet, Naked (R) Aug. 31 sees the debut of Juliet: Naked. Directed by Jesse Peretz, the film stars Rose Byrne, Ethan Hawke and Chris O’Dowd. This comedy/drama is about a woman named Annie, who is the girlfriend of Duncan, who also had a romantic rendezvous with Tucker, who is Duncan’s musical obsession. It may be a mouthful but this movie is a funny take on the old love triangle. So no matter what you decide to see, make sure you grab some popcorn and a drink and enjoy the movies.

Henri Matisse, and the artwork on display exhibited those traits from master’s canvases to modern day neon art. Color is the means of expression. The full range of color’s magic is on display in this exuberant show of more than 100 works from the 19th century to this moment’s hottest talents. The roll call is a hit parade of art history’s most exciting names: Kandinsky, Motherwell, Warhol, Wolf Kahn, James Nares and many more. It all begins with a monumental painting by Titian, considered the original champion of color in art, in a dramatic installation. Canvases displayed the heart and soul of the

exhibition, with color championing the artwork. As you enter the museum’s grounds, you can’t miss the installation of Marko Remec’s monumental sculptures, “A Mirror to Nature.” Remec is an internationally renowned figure in contemporary art who was commissioned by the NCMA to create Field Totem and Tall Totem. A former investment banker turned sculptor, his creations are composed with brilliant mirrors and are draped over the hillside as you drive up to the main building culminating at the museum’s entrance with a 26-foot Tall Totem. This is the first phase of new works planned for the museum grounds.

“When NYU Winthrop’s TAVR team replaced my heart valve, they gave me my life back.”

For John Elliott, sailing is living. He’s been on the water for most of his 91 years. In all three theaters during World War 2, as a merchant seaman, and for the last 70 years sailing out of the Rockaway Point Yacht Club. But recently John was so fatigued and short of breath, he could only walk a few steps. His aortic valve was failing. A condition that could lead to heart failure, and death. His daughter, a nurse, told John about a minimally invasive valve replacement procedure called TAVR, or Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement. She took him to one of the country’s leaders in TAVR: NYU Winthrop Hospital. They replaced John’s valve through an artery in his leg. In no time at all, he was back to sailing off Breezy Point. If you suffer from aortic stenosis, you may now be a candidate for TAVR.

2016 Capital Plan Amended The change includes funding for a new police academy and investments in infrastructure

NE HO W T RA TE S

Nassau County Executive Laura Curran announced the Nassau County Legislature has approved an amendment to the 2016 Capital Plan and funding several important county-wide infrastructure projects, including a new Nassau County Police Academy on the campus of Nassau Community College. “My thanks to the Nassau County Legislature for their bipartisanship action on the new police academy and our changes to the 2016 capital plan,” said Curran. “We will build a first-class facility to train our police recruits and continue Nassau County’s highest standards for policing. Our police department personnel deserve the best training possible. We will provide that opportunity in this new state-of-the-art academy.

The 2016 plan will also allow changes to keep the county’s buildings, highways and parks in good repair well into the future. This is a tremendous step for Nassau County and its residents.” This plan will fund a number of important improvements throughout Nassau County including several roadways with streetscape and road improvement projects, critical traffic studies, safety improvements, and traffic signal expansions; $35 million in sewer projects; park improvement projects; important information; technology projects; several projects at Nassau Community College; the funding of a master plan for the improvement of the Nassau County Correctional Center; and a feasibility study for the construction

of an opioid treatment facility that will support increased treatment and service options and provide additional services as well as $5.7 million in community improvement projects. “The unanimous vote in favor of the Capital Plan shows that this Legislature recognizes the need to improve our crumbling infrastructure and move this County forward,” said Nassau County presiding officer Richard Nicolello. The largest project funded new 89,000-square-foot police academy will be located on the campus of Nassau Community College and will include an asset forfeiture and intelligence lead development center; a 500-seat auditorium; a recruit center; an emergency vehicle

operations course; a physical training and defensive tactics warehouse; 10 multi-purpose classrooms that can be combined into 5 larger 70-person rooms for training; and a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF—pronounced ‘skiff’) to process classified information. It will be the only such location on Long Island. The project is expected to cost $54 million bond for both the construction and project management. Groundbreaking is expected to be in late fall as well as the presentation of a multi-year capital plan. “The capital plan is for the people,” said Curran. “Government is responsible for investing in and repairing infrastructure. This is responsible, ethical government.”

Last-Minute Getaway Success

Energy Efficiency means a sustainable future for my kids and grandkids.

A trip with your significant other can lead to a lot of stress, especially if it’s your first trip together or a last-minute getaway. First, planning a vacation in and of itself can be daunting (finding a flight, securing a hotel, purchasing show or activity tickets, etc.). Second, your trip (if early in the relationship) may also be the first occasion in which you spend a period of uninterrupted time with your significant other (meaning time that is not punctuated by work or going back to your respective apartments). Vacations may have a big impact on your relationship. In fact, research has shown that vacation satisfaction can enhance couples’ relationship commitment and satisfaction (Durko & Petrick, 2016). Being that your first vacation together may impact the future of the relationship, it is very important to plan wisely. Below are some important tips for you to take into consideration as you plan.

Have an honest discussion about the type of trip you want If your partner wants an action-packed vacation with little down time, whereas you prefer to spend hours lying the beach listening to music, you may be headed for trouble. You should compromise when it comes to selecting a location, being sure that the vacation spot you agree on offers options for both individuals. Choose a place that will allow you both to explore your interests at a pace that you can handle and still find relaxing.

Wilford English - Central Islip, NY

Do research

It is important to do your research beforehand. Check out suggestions for the must-hit spots and decide if they are worth the potential wait and/ or cost. Figure out the places where you want to eat, shops you need to visit, as well as the best sights to see. This will enable each person to have the experiences he/she wanted so there are no regrets.

Discuss finances

188541B

PSEGLINY.com/Efficiency

Financial discussions are imperative to have prior to going on vacation. Who will be purchasing the plane/ bus/boat tickets? Who will pay for the hotel? Are each of you going to pick certain vacation-related expenses, or will you be splitting the cost of each item down the middle? What about the cost of the activities you take part in while on vacation? It is important

LOVE LESSONS Marisa T. Cohen, PhD to discuss this beforehand, so you don’t wind up in an uncomfortable situation when a bill arrives.

Take a break from one another at times

Remember that being on vacation together does not mean that every moment must be spent as a pair. It’s important to have some alone time to recharge. You don’t need to physically separate and each retreat to a different location, but rather take a break from the joint activities. You may each choose to read a book by the pool or listen to music, giving yourself personal time. When planning a vacation, it’s not only about the time spent together, but how the time is spent that matters. This means that planning and honest discussions must take place before you leave. While spontaneity may be fun and exciting for some, it’s best to avoid this for your first or last-minute getaway so you know that the vacation will be a positive and memorable experience for both individuals. Happy planning. Reference: Durko, A. M., & Petrick, J. F. (2016). Travel as relationship therapy: Examining the effect of vacation satisfaction applied to the investment model.

Duck Donuts Splashes Into Summer The summer continues to burst with flavor, as Duck Donuts, known for serving warm, delicious and made-to-order donuts is reintroducing orange icing and bringing back its popular Southern Pecan iced coffee, available now through Sept. 9. “We’re here to keep customers cool by offering refreshing new flavors and iced coffee during the hot summer months,” said Russ DiGilio, founder and CEO of Duck Donuts Franchising Company. Duck Donuts was founded in 2006 by DiGilio in Duck, NC when he needed a solution to a family vacation problem. “Our family wanted a place to buy warm, delicious, made-to-order donuts, and when we couldn’t find one, we decided to start our own,” he said, noting that by 2011, Duck Donuts had expanded to four Outer Banks locations. The donut business was so successful that DiGilio was continuously approached about franchise opportunities by fans. The first franchise opened in Williamsburg, VA, in 2013, and now there are 67 franchise locations and more than 130 additional contracts in 23 states and two countries. Duck Donuts’ main squeeze this summer is orange icing. Made with real fruit, the light, refreshing flavor is available for a limited time only and is recommended to pair with vanilla icing or shredded coconut. In addition, a summer assortment, perfect for pool parties, office meetings or to enjoy on summer vacations, features orange icing and fruity combinations such as blueberry with lemon, strawberry with rainbow sprinkles and favorites including

maple bacon and glaze. A returning favorite, Duck Donuts will feature Southern Pecan as its seasonal summer iced coffee flavor. This medium roast coffee has a toasted, nutty, soft buttery flavor, making it as rich and decadent as the perfect southern pecan pie. For espresso lovers, seasonal options including S’mores Latte, Blueberry

Latte, Coconut Mocha, Caramel Macchiato and Honey Latte will also be available at participating locations in hot or iced. Visit Duck Donuts at 586 Veterans Memorial Hwy., Unit 1B, in Hauppauge, NY. Learn more at www. duckdonuts.com/locations. —Anton Media Group

Keep Summertime Safe With Grill Safety BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

the gas and replace the igniter according to the manufacturer’s instructions. • Regularly check the tubes that lead into the burner for blockage from insects or food grease. • Never attempt to repair, clean or clear blockages on a hot grill.

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

Planning to grill this weekend? It may be partly cloudy but it’s still grilling season for Long Islanders. While gas grills, portable fire pits and patio heaters make outdoor spaces comfortable and desirable places to gather, it is important that they are used properly. The New York Propane Gas Association (NYPGA) helps consumers keep grilling season safe with an interactive online module on grilling from the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) at www.propanesafety.com/grilling-safety. Consumers learn proper grilling procedures using propane and it takes less than 10 minutes to complete. Some key safety tips include the following. Safety for Kids The grilling area should be designated as a “No Play Zone” to keep kids and pets away from the equipment. To help everyone learn about gas grill safety, the PERC has launched the fun and interactive website www.propanekids.com. Ventilation • Always keep the lid open when lighting your grill. Do not close it until you are sure the grill is lit. • Keep the grill in a well-ventilated outdoor area, at least 10 feet away from the house—and at least three feet away from trees and shrubs. • Never cover the bottom of the grill with foil—it

can restrict air circulation. • Always use and store propane cylinders outdoors in an upright position. • After filling or exchanging a cylinder, take it home immediately. While transporting the cylinder, keep your vehicle ventilated and the valve closed or capped. Do not leave the cylinder in your vehicle. Firing Up The Grill Safely • Never use matches or lighters to check for leaks. Never use starter fluid with propane grills. • Do not smoke while handling a propane cylinder. Keep all flammable materials away from the grill. • If the grill does not ignite within 10 seconds, turn off the gas, keep the lid open and wait five minutes before trying again. If the igniter fails to light the grill after two or three tries, turn off

General Safety Tips • Never leave a hot grill unattended. • Never attempt to repair the tank valve or the appliance yourself. See a propane gas dealer or a qualified appliance repair person. Be sure to locate your model number and the manufacturer’s consumer inquiry phone number. • If you smell gas and you are able to, safely turn off the cylinder valve by turning it to the right (clockwise). Immediately leave the area and call 911 or your local fire department. Before you use the grill again, have a qualified service technician inspect your cylinder. Propane is a safe, clean, versatile and highly efficient fuel that can be used for other outdoor products to help enhance the summer season. It is not only the barbecuing fuel of choice, it is also environmentally friendly. NYPGA is a member-focused trade organization providing services that communicate, educate and promote the propane industry in New York. The association was formed in 1948 to offer opportunities for training. For more information on propane, visit www. nypropane.com and www.usepropane.com.

Glacier

The mountains of Glacier National Park are a sight to behold. This area of Montana is known as the Crown of the Continent, but its value extends far beyond North America. The 10 million acres of high peaks, clear waters, forest, prairie, wetlands and glacial-carved valleys are considered one of Earth’s “last Edens,” where wildlife thrives in untouched habitats. Water from these glaciers flow to the Pacific, Hudson Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.

Yellowstone

Yosemite

President Grant established Yellowstone as the first national park in 1872. Located in the northwest quadrant of Wyoming, this 3,400-squaremile park contains lakes, canyons, rivers, mountain ranges and the notorious Old Faithful geyser. Notably, Yellowstone Lake is positioned above a volcanic caldera, also known as a supervolcano, which has the potential to erupt with an explosion more than a thousand times as powerful as Mount St. Helens. Luckily, there’s no sign of eruption just yet.

Officially established in 1890, during spring and summer each year Yosemite sees millions of visitors, who are attracted to the park’s signature rock formations, many waterfalls and boundless wilderness. The drive down Tioga Road into Yosemite Valley is as breathtaking as the actual park. Located within the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California, the park was a favorite of naturalist and author John Muir, photographer Ansel Adams and countless hikers, kayakers, bird watchers and campers today.

Death Valley

A study in superlatives, Death Valley is like no other place on Earth. It boasts the highest air temperature ever recorded in the world—134 degrees in 1913, the lowest point in North America—at an elevation of 282 feet below sea level, and wildlife that exists nowhere else in the world—the rare and extremely endangered fish called Devils Hole Pupfish. These extremes are what draw visitors to the park, which is not the lifeless wasteland it sounds like. The 3.4-million-acre area contains the most striking landscapes, from mountain ranges and sand dunes to badlands and natural hot springs. (Yosemite and Death Valley photos by Kimberly Dijkstra)

Arches

The natural arches and bridges contained within Arches National Park are a wonder to behold. Dubbed the “Holey Land” by Utah.com, the park features 2,000 named arches that beckon hikers, bikers, off-roaders, rafters, photographers, climbers, campers and stargazers to the red rock wonderland.

Museum Of American Armor Commemorates Milestone In commemoration of the 70th anniversary of a Presidential Order that mandated the integration of the United States armed forces, students from The Tri Community and Youth Agency (Tri CYA), The Academy Charter School and Hofstra University’s Summer Camp program participated in an wide ranging educational seminar that examined President Harry Truman’s historic decision and its continuing impact on American society. President Truman signed Executive Order 9981 on July 26th, 1948 which read, “It is hereby declared to be the policy of the President that there shall be equality of treatment and opportunity for all persons in the armed services without regard to race, color, religion or national origin. This policy shall be put into effect as rapidly as possible, having due regard to the time required to effectuate any necessary changes without impairing efficiency or morale.” NYU historian Dr. Jeffrey Sammons, an expert in African-American and U.S. military history, explained that prior to the issuing of Executive Order 9981, African Americans were segregated into separate units from their white counterparts. In many instances, these units were assigned menial tasks in the rear and rarely were permitted to enter combat. “On July 26, 1948, President Harry S. Truman, less than three years after an Allied victory over Nazism, fascism, and racism in which black soldiers fought and died for freedom and democracy abroad and at home, issued Executive Order 9981 which technically established the President’s Committee on Equality of Treatment and Opportunity in the Armed Forces,” said Sammons. Lawrence Kadish, the president and founder of the Museum of American Armor stated, “This museum has a timeless mission, to tell the story of our American military heritage. Seventy years ago, President Harry Truman’s order finally recognized that American bravery and patriotism and sacrifice were color blind.”

NYU Historian Dr. Jeffrey Sammons speaks at the Museum of American Armor in Old Bethpage during a program commemorating the 70th anniversary of President Harry S. Truman’s executive order that mandated the integration of the United States military. Youngsters attending the event at the Museum of American Armor also met a group of African American living historians from the museum, who presented themselves in various military uniforms spanning the centuries to help tell the story of the outstanding record of service of African Americans

in the service of our nation. The Museum of American Armor is a New York State chartered, 501c3 nonprofit museum, located at 1303 Round Swamp Rd., Old Bethpage. For more information and museum hours, visit www. museumofamericanarmor.org.

For starters, your grasp on what people want and need will help you communicate and get what you desire. There’s something you’d like to do in a year, and this is your time to really make that a concrete goal. Tell people. Make it public. Structure your life to make it more probable. The word needs what you’re about to live. COPYRIGHT 2018 CREATORS.COM

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direction but always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 24 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Bringing your loved ones together will make this week really sing. The venue won’t matter all that much, so don’t worry about throwing down your hard-earned money for a fancy setting. The magic ingredients include effort and a genuine appreciation for the talents of others, with an evergreen curiosity to match. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You can disagree with someone and still basically get along. In fact, you do this on the daily. What makes it possible is a sophistication of mind, the ability to communicate well and a tolerance for those with different moral codes. You grow in power and joy this week because of your diverse social circle. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). For anything to grow, thrive and improve, it needs attention. Most ruin isn’t caused by evil intention, but by indifference to upkeep. It’s true for relationships, buildings, property, your own body. This week sees you very busy as you devote yourself to the care and maintenance of all you hold dear. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The big, happy bonus is coming. Keep going through the entire cycle. Don’t back off just because you’re approaching a turning or breaking point in the action. When the clouds get so heavy that they finally burst, it ends the oppressive humidity. A change of state will be a relief. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Elitist situations in which only a few have the power and they keep to themselves in some kind of metaphoric ivory tower -- that is the breeding ground for corruption and evil. To serve the greater good, avoid creating this dynamic in your own life, and work and do what you can to disrupt this dynamic wherever you see it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. This is why you put every possible course of action through a series of mental tests, asking things such as “Whom will this benefit?” and “Is there a smarter/cleaner/cheaper/faster way?” Your thoughtful, measured approach will pay off in efficiency and other rewards. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The immature will want unreasonable things. They’ll take their good fortune for granted and assume that serving their own interest will be what’s best for all. Life teaches otherwise. It’s not more fun to be wise. And yet, to be wise is to be somehow more alive, more powerfully connected to reality. You’ll prefer it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You will resuscitate what others abandoned. They couldn’t figure out what to do with it. They saw it as dysfunctional, too difficult to work or hopelessly beyond repair. Good. Because for you it will be the golden opportunity, the missing magic ingredient, the answer to more than one big life question. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). We all have internal inconsistencies. You recognize your own, and it makes you more patient with others. Patience is not passivity or weakness. It’s trust in the universal timing and acceptance of the reality that no single person is in control of it. Your patience and tolerance will be richly rewarded this week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You respond to people as individuals, not as a demographic. You assume the best of others. You relay truth. These are basic tenets of respect, although sometimes they’re missing even in the most enlightened of crowds. It’s why you will be a leader and someone worth following in the weeks to come. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The ways to resolve problems are endless these days: Relay it to the internet; implore the experts; tell your family what you’re trying to do and see what they come up with. Who are we kidding? You’re going to go with what you want. But what you want might change when you hear all of the options. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Maybe it’s not a matter of “bad” and “good” but of “useful” and “not”; or “helpful” and “unhelpful”; or some other criteria of your choosing. You intuitively feel like a free individual who doesn’t have to abide by the limits of your culture, and you will exercise that right this week.

Crave Worthy Bucket List serves up fried favorites BY STEVE MOSCO SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

ried chicken occupies an extra crispy place in the hearts of food lovers, with the warm, crunchy comfort of the juicy bird claiming a spot on many an eater’s “last meal” menu. It’s that fundamental fact that serves as the inspiration behind Bucket List, a relatively new fried chicken and comfort food joint in Rockville Centre. Specializing in what the proprietors call “Northern Fried Chicken,” Bucket List’s menu reads like scrawled notes following an unabashed foodie’s fever dream. That is no accident, as the restaurant’s developers endeavored to create a menu made up entirely of items from their favorite “bucket list” meals. And topping that list, is fried chicken. The deep-fried bird makes its way into numerous preparations, with buckets of the aforementioned Northern Fried Chicken leading the way. The poultry is dredged in a mix of spices, then fried until golden and crispy. Fine on its own, the chicken is made that much better when dusted with a blend of spices from a silver shaker. The dusting elevates the chicken to such heights that one wonders why Bucket List doesn’t serve it pre-dusted. The first bite of fried chicken is always eye-opening, especially when it’s from the king of chicken cuts, the thigh. Always the juiciest and most flavorful bite, the thigh shines just as brightly at Bucket List, with the perfectly seasoned taste emphasized by that telltale crunch. A full bucket of chicken consists of eight pieces—two breasts, two thighs, two legs and two wings—while the half bucket has four pieces. The eatery also presents its bird as Chicken & Waffles, with three pieces of chicken served with house-made waffles that are somehow both fluffy and crunchy. The heat gets turned up with Nashville Hot Chicken, with fiery, finger-licking spices adorning the chicken, as it sits atop white bread, garnished with a pickle and coleslaw. Beyond the buckets is where the eatery gets creatively crazy in the best possible way. Topping the appetizer list is the

From a Ferris Wheel filled with treats to nachos, shakes, chicken and waffles and mac and cheese donuts, Bucket List is food fun paradise. Ferris Wheel Sampler, a downright fun presentation of fried treats, including whole fried pickle spears, fried corn bread bites, onion rings, popcorn chicken and funnel fries. Then there’s the dangerously decadent Mac & Cheese Donuts, featuring creamy macaroni and cheese shaped into a donut and deep fried, served with a side of cheese sauce. The result is a bite that will elicit audible grunts and groans of pure bliss.

Another starter worth diving into is the Nachos Bucket, filled with tortilla chips and topped with BBQ pulled chicken, melted shredded cheese, cheese sauce and sour cream. The presentation is playfully over-the-top, but the flavor is spot on as the thick and crunchy chips have no trouble supporting the intensely cheesy barbecue punch of the toppings. The appetizers are rounded out with smothered

chicken wings, chicken biscuits and loaded sweet potato fries with brown sugar, a drizzle of marshmallow sauce and a graham cracker crumble. Back to the main courses, the Chicken Mashup Bowl is perhaps the heartiest menu item. The dish starts with a base of mashed potatoes mixed with corn and shredded cheese, made meaty with popcorn chicken and a generous ladling of gravy. There’s plenty to like about the sandwiches too, especially the Mac & Cheese Chicken Sandwich, which is a fried chicken breast topped with creamy mac & cheese and crumbled bacon. Other sandwiches include Nashville Hot Chicken, pulled chicken and buffalo chicken. There are also soups (Chicken Pot Pie Soup, among others) and salads (the Bucket List Salad, with mixed greens, popcorn chicken, tomatoes, bacon, shredded cheese, croutons). The foodie bucket list at this chicken coop continues into beverages and sweets. First, the restaurant exclusively serves Boylan sodas that routinely turn into vanilla ice cream floats. The Boylan orange soda float is a creamsicle in a mug and is the perfect refreshing antidote to a meal of fried indulgence. But if indulgence is what you seek, look no further than Bucket List’s shakes and sundaes. These Instagramready creations include The Sweet Shoppe—vanilla ice cream shake in a

Fruity Pebbles-rimmed glass topped with whipped cream and fruit loops, garnished with a swirly lollipop, rock candy and cotton candy—and the Grand Slam—chocolate ice cream shake in a caramel popcorn-rimmed glass, topped with whipped cream, caramel sauce and Reese’s Pieces, garnished with a pretzel rod and nutty ice cream cone. The sundaes are equally intense with takes on banana split, cookies and cream, s’mores and peanut butter. Then there’s the wild Bucket List Sundae, which loads every imaginable item into a sundae for those brave enough to tackle a truly monstrous dessert. Bucket List’s approach to food demonstrably shows its passion for fun and comfort in every bite. And while the menu illustrates “bucket list” items, the restaurant encourages customers to relate their own bucket list wishes, with the eatery choosing a lucky winner each season and granting them their wish. The restaurant has already gifted a couples’ massage and Billy Joel tickets. Open for lunch, dinner and latenight bites, as well as take out, delivery, catering and private events, Bucket List is a fanatical food seeker’s dream come true.

MUSIC

3 Doors Down Comes Roaring Into Town BY ANTHONY MURRAY AMURRAY@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

ith more than 30 million albums sold, 18 million digital single sales, billions of streams and 12 iconic hits combined, the bands 3 Doors Down and Collective Soul are inviting their fans aboard The Rock and Roll Express Tour, which is produced by Live Nation, this summer with special guest Soul Asylum. “When this tour starts, from the very first song you hear from Soul Asylum all the way through the whole tour, it’s just song after song after song that you know,” said Chris Henderson, longtime guitarist of the Grammy-nominated multiplatinum rock band 3 Doors Down. “It’s really hard for any of the bands to put together an hour and a half set because there’s so many songs from all three bands that people realize. It’s just hit after hit. It’s a really cool tour to be a part of. It doesn’t happen every day like that.” Growing up in the small town of Escatawpa in Mississippi, music has always been a part of Henderson’s life. Henderson’s mother was a church organist while his brother was sort of a child prodigy. “He was always practicing something [whether it be] banjo, guitar, violin, or clarinet. He turned out to be a really, really gifted musician,” said Henderson. “So there was always someone practicing music around the house. Being from Mississippi, music is kind of in your soul a little bit. So I picked up music that way through them.” Because he grew up in a small town, Henderson said he didn’t have many options about which band he could play in. “There weren’t that many musicians in that town so you either played in this band or you played in the only other band that was in town,” explained Henderson. “So when 3 Doors Down started, I was in the other band. So as soon as an opening came up, I switched over. I’ve been around these guys my whole life and I don’t ever remember meeting them, I just remember knowing them.” Out of all the hits that the band has such as “Kryptonite”, “Here Without You” and “When I’m Gone”, Henderson said his favorite song to play is “Duck and Run”, which is the third single from the band’s debut album The Better Life.

3 Doors Down Being a true southern guy himself, Henderson said he draws a lot of influences from rock and country artists. “Probably Brian May from Queen was one of my first influences,” explained Henderson. “Being from Mississippi, you get the whole Skynyrd thing. Then over the years, I’ve started getting into country music a little bit. I have an eclectic gathering of guitar players that I think are really cool.” When the band comes to Long Island later this month, Henderson said he’s looking forward to enjoying the weather and taking in the sites of New York. “I’m just a fan of New York City and love the town and the way that city works,” said Henderson. “But I like upstate a lot. I have a lot of friends and family there, so I like upstate and how pretty it is. I love the pace of it.” The band’s latest album Us and the Night was released in 2016, after a five-year gap from their fifth studio album Time of My Life, which was released in 2011. During that gap, Henderson said the band had to go through a learning curve after new members joined the band.

“It was different because we had new members and people we’ve never written with and never recorded with before,” said Henderson. “We went out and played some shows with them and toured the world with them first to get them acclimated to being in 3 Doors Down and how things work with us.” After some time away from the studio, the band is looking forward to dropping some new music. “We’ve been writing, so we’re going to go back to the studio and put the finishing touches on what we’ve been doing and start making some new music,” said Henderson. “We don’t know exactly how we’re going to do it. We don’t know if it’s going to be a record or a single. No one ever knows what’s going to happen in the music business. Fans don’t get music like they used to so we might try something different.” Even with all the success the band has had thus far, the band was caught up in some controversy after making headlines across the country last year when they performed for President Donald Trump’s inauguration. “It was pretty scary to be honest. Just to see the people as far as the eye

20180803_XAL_LNW_PG00 - 12:54 July 30, 2018

can see and playing at the Lincoln Memorial. It was crazy to be sitting that close to the president and to be sitting that close to people you only see on TV. We’ve already met President Trump a couple times prior to playing the inauguration but just to be a part of history and being a part of something for the country, was really cool,” said Henderson unapologetically. “It was scary but at the same time exciting. We were proud to do it.” Being part of the band, Henderson has the opportunity to experience the world and its different cultures. “You miss a lot of what you do and you take it for granted,” Henderson explained. “We’ve been doing it for so long that we learned how to appreciate the places we go. My favorite part about being on the road now is experiencing all the different places and not taking them for granted anymore and soak up some culture and learn a different language. It’s pretty cool.” 3 Doors Down along with Collective Soul will be chugging along to Long Island on Tuesday, Aug. 14, at The Amphitheater at Bald Hill in Brookhaven.

THE SPORTS DESK

Flag Pros BY CHRISTOPHER BIRSNER

CBIRSNER@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

lag football’s popularity has been on the rise, with leagues and circuits opening throughout the country. One of the hotspots of the sport right now is Long Island, and one team from the area has been so dominant it has made a name for itself on a national stage. Brian Alfieri of Farmingdale is the quarterback on the Strong Island Bulldogs that has been owned and run by Chris Bute and Joe Taglia since 2013. The team has been a dominant part of the Long Island Flag Football League (LIFFL) and the LI Legends Flag Football League since they formed. “We really crushed the competition on the island,” said Alfieri. “We started taking our talents across the country in all different types of circuits. When we played in a circuit, other teams’ players would see what type of talent we had, it was easy for Chris to take them off their team and bring them on ours.” The team is used to playing as a five-man team, but have expanded to playing nine-man starting around early 2017. The team is among the topranked nine-man clubs in the country, ranking third on the United States Flag & Touch Football League (USFTL) standings as of July 18, and have won three

tournaments. They still participate in five-man circuits as well, recently winning a national tournament as a five-man team in January. Alfieri, a LIFFL Hall of Fame inductee, has been the star of the team, winning the 2017 USA Flag Football America Player of the Year. He had never played a down of football in high school and college but played basketball. Their success earned them a spot in the 130team, seven-man tournament of the American Flag Football League, which was sponsored by the NFL. The teams would be vying for a shot to play a team of former NFL players for $1 million. However, the Bulldogs almost didn’t make the cut. “They weren’t going to open the invite to the New York regional bracket until someone at the league said there’s some teams in it that could make it far,” said Alfieri. “They invited us and another team [Code Red] that ended up making it to the final four. We knew we were going to be in the mix.” The Strong Island Bulldogs played their first two games in New York from May 11-13. They beat both teams by a combined score of 70-18. In round 32, which took place at the New York Jets practice facility in New Jersey, the Bulldogs took down the “Texas Outlaws,” followed by “Choppin’” in the Final 16 with an equally impressive combined score of 58-19. “We don’t play seven-man, so when the AFFL comes out with a whole new format and brand new rules, we’re not used to it,” said Alfieri. “We didn’t know if we could play. But we made it to the final eight.” They went on to face “Fighting Cancer,” a New

Orleans-based team that were heavily favored to win. The game was broadcasted on NFL Network, which meant the largest audience the Bulldogs ever played in front of. Alfieri still had faith that his team could pull off the upset. “I really thought [we had a chance],” said Alfieri. “We watched video on them. That’s the first time I played on that type of stage. So, me being the quarterback, it was just a different type of mentality and a lot of our players were overly hyped for that game.” The Bulldogs put up a fight, holding the high-powered offense of Fighting Cancer to only 18 points. However, the Bulldogs couldn’t climb out of the early deficit and lost the game 18-6. “We still think we’re the thirdbest team in the country behind Fighting Cancer and The Money Team, who [played in the amateur final],” said Alfieri. “What I’m working on now is working with the guys I haven’t played a lot with. I want to work on route-running with them. I hired a speed and agility coach because this thing is going to blow up and I want to make sure I’m ready for it.” Alfieri is prepared for what next year will bring, as the AFFL plans a second tournament and has invited the Bulldogs and others who made it far a chance to come back and make a run to the top of flag football’s newest, biggest stage. “Now, we’re on a bigger scale,” said Alfieri. “So you’re not only going to be looked at by other players that know your skill, but now you’re going to be looked at nationally. I took a lot out of the overall experience. I just wish I was more prepared for it, and the team was more prepared for it. We won’t make the same mistake.”
