A Game Of Songs

Emmy-nominated composer talks Game of Thrones BY JENNIFER FAUCI JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

t the age of 4, Ramin Djawadi walked up to a piano. Born and raised in Germany, the German-Iranian composer has spent his entire life having a love affair with music. As a child, he recalled playing a song he heard on television by memory, which led his parents to enroll him in music lessons. And it was the overall power of music in film and television that coursed through Djawadi’s veins. “When I saw the film The Magnificent Seven, that score triggered something in me,” says Djawadi. “I was always drawn to instrumental music. I don’t write lyrics, I’m an instrumental guy.” As a composer, Djawadi is drawn to the classical era and romantic period. He is inspired by Wagner, Tchaikovsky and other greats from the past that played a big part of his upbringing. That said, he also loves pop music from the ’80s, which in Germany, was called the new

wave, featuring the likes of Duran Duran and Depeche Mode. Starting on the organ—Djawadi was so young he couldn’t reach the pedals—in high school, he switched from the piano to guitar, where he got into rock music, which he says greatly shaped him. When he went to Berklee College of Music in Boston, Djawadi

pushed more into jazz. After graduating, he moved to Los Angeles to embark on his film career. “Not even being fully aware, being such a musical chameleon set me up for being a film composer,” he said. “Nowadays in film music, there’s no boundaries; you can mix all styles and instrumentations and whatever creatively works, I

20180831_XAL_LNW_PG00 - 1:19August 27, 2018

embrace and welcome.” As a film composer, Djawadi says every project is different and that every time he is faced with a challenge of how to come up with something new. “I have to sit back and examine and say what does this project need? What’s the style instrumentation and how can I get creative with the music?” he said, adding that his credits include Marvel’s Iron Man, Pacific Rim and The Mountain Between Us as well as Game of Thrones and Westworld. Ahead of the Emmys on Sept. 17, Djawadi has earned two nominations for Outstanding Music Composition For A Series Original Dramatic Score. Having crafted outstanding musical scores for two television juggernauts in Game of Thrones and Westworld, he will be honored with dueling nominations in the same category. But this isn’t his first time. Djawadi was previously nominated for an Emmy in 2017 for his Main Title

them by getting into their head about their vision. He said that getting a description about the characters and what they are feeling in that moment is key to the music behind them. And just as it translates on television, on a bigger stage, Djawadi’s music for Game of Thrones is quite a sensory experience. The critically acclaimed Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience returns to North America, giving fans the opportunity to watch Djawadi lead an orchestra and choir performing music from all seven seasons of the show on a custom stage with mesmerizing visuals and effects. Produced and promoted by Live Nation in partnership with HBO, the North American leg of the tour kicks off on Sept. 6 in Seattle and will conclude on Oct. 14 in Toronto. It comes to Madison Square Garden on Oct. 3.

CULTURE

An Artist In The Apartheid

From South Africa to the Bowery, Jeff Jaffe centers on art BY BETSY ABRAHAM BABRAHAM@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

hen artists began the pop art movement, the goal was to get away from the conventional, highbrow themes that had dominated the art world for so long. Rather, the movement sought to blur the lines between “high art” and “low culture,” putting the spotlight on household objects and pop culture figures. It was art for everyone and it takes center stage at Pop International Galleries, a space dedicated to iconic artists such as Keith Haring, Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, as well as up-and-coming artists in the pop art scene. “Pop art was the last real art movement, but now we have this art that everybody is looking at, street art and

graffiti art,” said Pop International Galleries owner Jeff Jaffe. Inside Pop International, guests can view a $1.2 million Andy Warhol next to a $1,200 print by an unknown artist. “The idea is to show people that they are direct connections. Just like everyone can identify with Andy Warhol, people can see graffiti art on a canvas and say, ‘this looks like something I saw on a wall in Brooklyn.’” The secret to finding an up-andcoming artist worthy of gallery space? Well, that’s the million-dollar question, notes Jaffe. But with decades of gallery work under his belt and an even longer career as an artist, Jaffe has a keen eye for talent. And though Jaffe’s love of art began after winning a drawing competition at the ripe age of 3 years old, it was refined through a lifetime of unusual

Growing up in apartheid-era South Africa, Jaffe had few opportunities to explore his artistic passions and reluctantly joined his male counterparts in being drafted to the military after high school graduation. He was an unwilling participant in the special services battalion, eventually working for the military newspaper where he illustrated cartoons and wrote articles. His politically incorrect works soon landed him in trouble and the 18-year-old found himself facing multiple charges. The charges were eventually dropped and Jaffe finished his service working in a military museum, making backdrops and displays. It was a much more fitting environment for Jaffe, who left South Africa 10 days after finishing his military service to live in Israel and study sculpture. A professor at the university suggested his abilities would be better fostered in the United States, and Jaffe, with only $100 and a student visa in his pocket, came to America, studying at Montclair College and then the prestigious Cranbrook Academy of Art. And while Jaffe had left South Africa behind, his artwork revealed just how much his native country had influenced his work. “I remember the president of Cranbrook Academy, he looked at my work and said ‘ah, the art of protest.’ It was protest art,” said Jaffe. Now an American citizen, the artist finds his influences in American politics and society. “The work I make for myself is still very much about propaganda and that political influence plays an

20180831_XAL_LNW_PG00 - 1:19August 27, 2018

important part. [My art] has always been very connected to that world of resistance and politics.” Being an artist has allowed Jaffe a distinct advantage as owner of Pop International Galleries, which he opened in 1997. For Jaffe, being a gallery owner isn’t about turning a profit, it’s about fostering a relationship with the artist. “I see myself in many of the people that come to me. I have a certain intrinsic empathy, having been an artist and going to art school and experiencing the notion of what it’s like to make things and just dying for good representation in an art gallery,” said Jaffe. “For me, there’s a certain symbiosis. I get quite emotional and a relationship is born and the lives of the artists change.” Over the past 30 years of being an art dealer, Jaffe has helped to build and develop the careers of many artists, including UR New York. The two mixed media artists were selling their pieces on the street in New York City for $50-$100 dollars when Jaffe was referred to their studio. Jaffe liked what he saw, but soon found out the two had 37 outstanding indictments for graffiti and vandalism. He agreed to help them get the indictments dropped on the condition they go into low-income schools and conduct classes. “They’ve been in the gallery for eight or nine years, made hundreds of thousands of dollars from their art, and have had a profound effect on changing children’s lives,” said Jaffe. “That to me was one of the most meaningful moments in my life as an artist and a dealer. Today, these two

guys are like sons to me.” But the gallery is about the collector as much as it is about the artist. Through Pop International, Jaffe hopes to “demystify art” in the most basic way and provide a space where collectors—both novice and experienced—can find a piece that resonates with them. “I want them to come in and discover something that elicits joy or tears. That to me is how most artists make art, it’s a visceral emotion for many artists, not just a commercial endeavor,” said Jaffe. “I’m the conduit who draws the line between the collector and the artist. When many people are buying online and just for the investment, I want people to come in and smell the art, pick a frame, have a glass of wine and have a lovely experience. That’s what we really strive for.” Jaffe said new collectors should establish a relationship with someone they trust in the art world and ask as many questions as they can about the art. But the most important piece of advice he offers new collectors? Buy something you love. “If you start buying art you love, where you have a complete visceral reaction to a piece of art, you will find

you need art dealers less and less,” Jaffe said. Jaffe notes that while he had always dreamed of being an artist, he never would have imagined that one day he would own his own gallery. But it’s a career his life—both the ups and downs—have trained him well for.

“I think my experience of being a survivor of the apartheid regime in south Africa has prepared me to be able to function on both levels, to be an artist, which is what I thought I’d always be, and an entrepreneur,” said Jaffe. “I would never recommend anyone live in a situation like that, but

you have to make the best of your situation. I chose to let all that influence me in a positive way. It’s all tied up in package that came together in a way that I would never have imagined.” Pop International Galleries is at 195 Bowery, New York.

More Money, Still More Problems Senator Elaine Phillips to MTA: Scrap LIRR fare hike until service improves

State Senator Elaine Phillips is calling on the MTA to link any future LIRR fare hikes to service improvements on the beleaguered line and said that without measurable gains, next year’s planned increase should be scrapped. In a letter to MTA Chairman Joseph Lhota and the 22 members of its governing board, Phillips cited the railroad’s worst on-time performance in 20 years, and said the $8 million ticket savings that commuters received during the “summer of hell,” Penn Station reconstruction was precedent for linking service levels with commuting costs. Phillips was first to call on the MTA to provide discounts to riders who faced delays and changes to their commuting routines. “Raising fares while service continues to falter on a daily basis is a misguided move and will only further hurt the thousands of commuters who are already facing the worst rail service in two decades,” said Phillips. “The MTA needs to scrap its fare hike plans until it can achieve measurable improvements in service, on-time performance and customer satisfaction, as well as a reduction in equipment breakdowns and avoidable delays.” According to an audit by the State Comptroller, over 2,000 LIRR trains were delayed 15 minutes or more, impacting tens of thousands of commuters, in just the months of December and January. In just the past few weeks, the LIRR has had three derailments and three straight days of interrupted rush

hour service causing over-packed trains. Meanwhile, the MTA is proposing up to a 4 percent fare increase—its seventh increase in the last decade—to take effect in 2019. “LIRR commuters are not getting what they are paying for,” Phillips said. “And adding to their burden only brings insult to that injury.” Phillips called on the MTA to set service improvement benchmarks that the LIRR must reach before any fare increases can go through. She also called on the Board to reject any plan

that would result in Nassau County commuters paying a disproportionate, larger share of any future fare hikes, as was recently proposed by one prominent MTA Board member. “Additionally, the notion that the MTA would also propose to adopt an uneven fare hike plan weighted more heavily on Nassau County residents is unconscionable—and I will do all possible to ensure my constituents are not subjected to higher fares than other commuters,” Phillips said.

At the entrance to the 42-acre preserve, a chain link fence was replaced with a rustic split rail fence and more than 100 native plants were planted like wood ferns and mountain laurel, capturing the essence of Long Island’s countryside.

AT THE MOVIES

September Movie Previews BY CHERYL WADSWORTH EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

he kids are back in school while most vacations are just a distant memory. Stores have been bombarding us with Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Hanukkah items for months already. What’s a person to do to escape all this craziness? Go see a new movie being released this September. Here are just a few to choose from. The House with a Clock in Its Walls (PG)

On Sept. 21, The House with a Clock in Its Walls hits theaters. Directed by Eli Roth, the film stars Cate Blanchett, Jack Black and Kyle MacLachlan, just to name a few. The movie is based on the children’s novel written by John Bellans, published back in 1973. This magical and funny film is about a recently orphaned boy who relocates to live with his mysterious uncle, who is a struggling warlock. They team up along with their neighbor, a powerful witch, to locate the evil clock hidden within the walls of the house by its previous owner. A great family-friendly film.

Little Women (PG-13)

Finally, on Sept. 28, Little Women debuts, directed by Clare Niederpruem. The movie stars Lea Thompson, Melanie Stone, Sarah Davenport, Allie Jennies and Ian Bohen debuts as a modern take on the classic Louisa May Alcott novel. The story follows the March Sisters through their trials and tribulations of growing up, romance, pain and sorrow. Here’s hoping that these stars can interest a whole new age group in this timeless classic.

Peppermint (R)

On Sept. 7, the film Peppermint debuts, directed by Pierre Morel. It stars Jennifer Garner, John Gallagher Jr., John Ortiz and Method Man. Similar to a female Death Wish or Equalizer with just as much action if not more, Garner goes back to her roots of Alias to play a distraught wife and mother whose family is senselessly gunned down in a drive-by shooting by members of a drug cartel. She watches helplessly as these animals are freed due to the corruption within the police and government. Going off the grid for a while, she trains and focuses on one thing: seeking justice from those who destroyed her life. Garner was

The Predator (R)

Sept. 14 sees the release of The Predator, directed by Shane Black and starring Yvonne Strahovski, Olivia Munn, Jacob Tremblay, Sterling K. Brown and Thomas Jane. If the title sounds familiar that is because this is the fourth installment of the series, with the last one being released in 2010. This new take follows a young boy who unknowingly activates the universe’s most lethal hunters—the Predator. In order to save humanity, a group of not so stellar former soldiers and a discontented science teacher come together to erase this hunter once and for all. Sure to be a hit like its predecessors, especially with a new modern twist.

two before our first album came out and their first album came out; they had this video where he’s on the beach

Counting Crows may not have released an album since 2014’s Somewhere Under Wonderland, but the band hasn’t exactly been laying dormant. This year finds the Bay Area band hitting the road with their old friends in Live for the 25 Years and Counting Tour, which commemorates a quarter century since the Crows released its 1993 debut August and Everything After. The decision to go on tour with Ed Kowalczyk and the guys in Live was a no-brainer for Counting Crows vocalist Adam Duritz, whose relationship with his band’s special guests goes about as far back. “Ed and I were drinking buddies in Los Angeles I’d see him when I first moved to LA and those guys were always around, so I would hang out back then,” he explained. “And we’ve done several tours together as well. My first memory of [Ed] was a year or

what song that was, it’s my first memory of him. I’ve known him that long.” With seven studio albums from which to choose from, the Counting Crows canon runs pretty deep. And not unlike their Northern California brethren The Grateful Dead, the Crows have not only encouraged fans to come record and distribute bootlegs of their high energy shows, but they’re equally capricious when it comes to deciding the set lists from one show to the next. Ask Duritz what fans can expect and he’s honestly unsure in terms of what songs are going to be played any given night. “I never know. We change the set every night and the songs change every time we play them. We don’t plan much more than a few hours ahead. It’s a mixed set list every night around

Simple Ways To Prepare For A New School Year De-stress

Want to ensure the transition from summer to school goes smoothly for your family? Check out these simple tips.

The hectic back-to-school season can create tension and stress. Encourage hobbies that help students unwind as the school year gets back into full swing. For beginners of music, check out new tools that can make the learning process fun and easy, such as Casio’s LK-265 keyboard, which features an LCD display that shows both music notation and correct hand positioning.

Get the right education tools

From highlighters to USB drives to loose-leaf paper, be sure you have a comprehensive list of all the school supplies and education tools you’ll need for a successful year ahead. As far as tech tools like graphing calculators are concerned, opt for those that are jam-packed with all the latest features. For example, the Casio fx-CG50 offers the ability to draw three-dimensional graphs, such as planes, cylinders and spheres, and view them from various angles in order to better analyze their shape. It also features a cross-section option and a special zoom function for in-depth analysis.

Make a smooth transition

Been sleeping in all summer? Now’s the time to get your body back into the routine of early mornings. Start slowly, setting the alarm earlier until you reach the time you’ll be waking up for the school year. Parents can assist younger kids with this transition.

Organize your agenda

Make sure everyone is ready for the busy year ahead. Plan your children’s participation in after school activities. Then, display relevant items on a calendar where the whole family can see it to ensure no one misses a club meeting, rehearsal or team practice.

Get healthy

Crowded classrooms are a good place to pick up germs. Keep kids healthy with a daily multivitamin, plenty of fresh fruits and veggies and lots of sleep. Regular exercise is also an immunity booster, so encourage kids to get active. Adapt to new school resources. Families aren’t the only ones getting ready for back-to-school. Districts are incorporating the latest tech into classroom learning. Such tools include Casio LampFree Projectors, an eco-friendly technology that gives educators the ability to control the projector from a smartphone or tablet, expanding their ability to create and deliver dynamic lesson plans. —Courtesy of StatePoint Media, Inc.

LIBRARY NEWS

September Is Library Card Sign-up Month

As children head back to school, family time is often hindered by homework and after-school and social activities. September is Library Card Sign-Up Month, a time when the nation’s public libraries highlight the value of a library card. A public library card is your ticket to free educational resources and activities that bring families together. Libraries not only provide resources to parents and children that support early literacy and lifelong learning, but truly transform how families spend time together. Cardholders have free access to a family destination that provides a spectrum of free services, including digital workshops for all-ages: STEAM programs and activities, mother-daughter book clubs, family story times and game nights. Families are integral to a child’s development, as shown by data collected by the Harvard Family Research Project and the Public Library Association, a division of the American Library Association (ALA), for its report, “Public Libraries: A Vital Space for Family Engagement.” The report highlights the importance of libraries, with their rich digital environment

and hands-on resources, and skilled librarians in helping parents to guide their children’s learning. Libraries are spaces, it notes, that embrace the entire family across every generation and offer constructive outlets for family engagement. Libraries throughout the country are bringing families together for both learning and quality personal time. They are serving a crucial need especially in areas with immigrant populations with low incomes. Throughout Library Card Sign-Up Month, libraries will offer a variety of incentives to spur sign-ups and renewals. This September, Disney Pixar’s superhero family, the Incredibles, will team up with the ALA to promote the value of a library card. As honorary chairs, the Incredibles will remind families, students and people of all ages that signing up for a library card is a great step toward a truly super lifestyle; libraries offer fun and informative resources to help you pursue your passions and succeed in school. Visit www.ala.org and www.nassau library.org for more information about your local libraries.

Joining Forces

Cohen Children’s Medical Center partners with Long Island Coalition Against Bullying Cohen Children’s Medical Center has partnered with The Long Island Coalition Against Bullying (LICAB) to provide resources for adolescents affected by bullying. The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that one in four students has been bullied and that one-third of those bullied are often afraid to go to school. LICAB founder and executive director Joseph Salamone knows first-hand about bullying, having endured it from sixth to 11th grade. Through the partnership, victims of bullying who are treated at Cohen Children’s or any Northwell Health facility will have access to such resources as subsidized therapy and counseling, along with personal development programs like martial arts classes to build self-esteem. “LICAB is honored to partner with one of Long Island’s premiere organizations and institutions in the Cohen Children’s Medical Center and Northwell Health group,” said

Salamone. “I am excited about this partnership and joining LICAB in combating bullying across Long Island,” said Mark Welles, MD, a pediatrician at Cohen Children’s who will serve on the board of directors at LICAB. “As a physician dedicated to this cause for many years it’s great to see our community efforts aligning themselves with the needs of our communities.” Cohen Children’s commitment to care includes pediatric medical, surgical, psychiatric and dental services for the sickest of children. The staff ’s mission also focuses on the safety and well-being of all children, which makes the LICAB program a strong addition. The partnership will also work together to increase awareness of bullying through outreach events in schools and communities throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties. —Anton Media Group

Kite

School days are on the horizon. As you savor the last few days of summer weather with your kids, spend some time getting creative. While there’s plenty to do to entertain youngsters, nothing is as fun (or as cost efficient) as getting their hands dirty with DIY crafts in your own backyard.

An outdoor classic, building your own kite is much easier than you’d think, and the possibilities for how your kids can decorate it are endless. All you need is paper, tape, a stick and some string. For kite-building instructions, visit www.instructables. com/id/easy-paper-kite-for-kids.

Bottle Bowling

Rather than toss all of those plastic water bottles into the recycling bin, paint them like bowling pins and go bowling with a tennis ball in the backyard. For best results, fill each bottle a quarter of the way up so they don’t blow away or knock down too easily. For an added challenge, use one-liter soda bottles.

Garden Rock Caterpillar

Make use of those rocks lying around the garden by painting them in fun, colorful patterns to make a caterpillar. Use a marker to draw a face on the caterpillar’s head and use a hot glue gun (help guide the glue gun if you let your child do this part) to stick the rocks together to make the body. Pipe cleaners or small twigs can be hot glued to the head as antennas and small pebbles can be hot glued to the bottom of the rocks as feet.

Tea Cup Birdfeeder

Invite the neighborhood birds to your yard with this adorable craft. If you have a spare tea set laying around, real or one of the kids’ plastic sets will also do, simply glue (heavy-duty glue here) the tea cup on its side to the saucer, handle facing straight up, and tie some ribbon from the handle to a branch in one of your backyard trees. Sprinkle some bird seed as if it’s spilling from the cup into

Popped Bubble Art

Birdhouses

Not only is this a super easy craft that will bring out your child’s creative side, but you can also reap the rewards as birds make their nest in their newly decorated birdhouse and visit your backyard each day. Simply visit any craft store, buy a plain wooden birdhouse (as low as $1 on michaels.com), some paint and let your little one go to town with their paint brushes. the saucer and watch the birds come flying in.

Wind Chime Cans

Make some music with the soft tinkle of wind chimes. Paint six or seven cans and hammer a nail into the top of each can to make holes in the center (you might want to do this part for them). Then string thin pieces of rope through each hole, making a knot to secure the rope inside the can. Make sure each rope is longer than the next, so the cans cascade. Using anything circular, like an old lamp shade ring or a cross-stitch hoop, tie the

All you need for this fun art project is paper, bubbles (they should come with a wand) and food coloring. Lay down some newspaper so you don’t stain the table or concrete, place white paper on top, fill some dishes with bubbles and put different colored food coloring in each dish. Use the bubble wands to blow bubbles onto the paper, creating a colorful work of art.

Preparing For School By Teaching Social Skills

ackpack, check. Pencils, check. Social skills, wait was that on the list? The end of the summer is filled with preparations for the upcoming school year. We prepare for changes to routines, schedules, and expectations by mapping out the weeks ahead and checking items off of our to-do lists. Our children, on the other hand, are “here and now” thinkers and are wrapped up in all of the fun they are having. Before August comes to an end, take time to consider the new people and situations your child will experience this coming school year. They may encounter new teachers, friends, school buildings, bus stops, and so much more. Children can have a difficult time with transition and in a season of so much change, we can help prepare them ahead of time by teaching social skills. Social skills such as introducing yourself, staying calm, asking for help, and following

P.O. BOX 284, WILLISTON PARK, NY 11598

Describe in detail what your expectation is for a particular social skill. For example, rather than simply saying “introduce yourself and make new friends,” you can outline the scenario for your child and clearly describe your expectations. Say instead, “Billy, when you see someone you’ve never met before, look at them and introduce yourself by saying your name and asking for theirs. After you have learned each other’s names, you can share something interesting about yourself and ask questions about the other person. Remember to smile and use a pleasant tone of voice.” This kind of description takes the guesswork out for our children and sets them up for success.

Step Two: Give a Reason

Next, show your child the benefit to using social skills by highlighting what’s in for them. When it comes to making friends for example, you might say, “Billy, when you introduce yourself and ask others questions about themselves, it shows that you’re interested in them and they are more likely to want to be your friend.”

Step Three: Practice

Check that your child understands the taught social skill by allowing them time to practice it with you. Practice should be fun and can be done through pretend or role play. For example, you might say to your child, “Billy, let’s pretend that we’ve never met and you see me at school. What would you say and do?” A dialogue and role play would continue to see what skills Billy is confident in and what skills he needs more practice in. With so many changes ahead, try Preventive Teaching to alleviate anxiety and tensions for yourself and for your children. And don’t stop once school starts. Children always benefit from clear expectations and lots of practice.

Early Childhood Education Week • October 21-27

Give your children a leg up, with Early Childhood Education. You want to give them a safe, loving environment. With structure and discipline. Not just day care, but a real school with certified teachers. A school that supports working Moms (and Dads), with before and after care—and gives students as young as three years old the fundamental skills they need to develop a lifetime love of learning. Of course, choosing a Catholic education gives them much more than an educational advantage. It also helps them understand their purpose in life and their obligations to others, reinforcing the values you live at home. Isn’t that what you want for your children? To learn more about why Catholic Elementary School is a better place to start, and to find a school near you, visit us online at www.LICatholicElementarySchools.org or call 516-678-5800 x 258.

COUNTING CROWS from page 15A dinnertime,” he said. “What you can be certain of I guess is that we’ll be completely passionate about what we’re doing because whatever we’re playing that night is exactly what we want to play that night or we wouldn’t be playing it.” The consummate music fan, Duritz has indulged himself well beyond serving as Counting Crows’ singer. He not only founded two separate labels (E Pluribus Unum and Tyrannosaurus Records), but actively signed acts. This passion isn’t surprising given that the Baltimore native grew up in Oakland and was more caught up with the writing process over singing. “I’d sung all my life, but so what?

What are you going to do with that? I love theater, but it’s not much part of our culture and I don’t much like directors,” he said. “It was when I started to write songs was when I felt like this was something that I wanted to do with my life. Singing was just something that I did as a kid thing— like a hobby. But writing—writing was different. Then I literally wrote a song and the moment I finished the song, I sat there playing it by myself and I just felt like I was a songwriter. That literally was what it was. It was life changing. I don’t know any other way to describe it. I felt completely defined at that moment.” Since releasing August and Everything After in 1993, the Counting Crows have been a constant presence

on the road, drawing comparisons to The Band, Van Morrison and R.E.M. While the commercial and critical acclaim has been fairly constant, they’ve fallen victim to how broken the current music industry model has gotten in recent years, especially given the rise of streaming services like Spotify. It’s no accident that it’s been four years and counting since the Crows have deigned to release any new material. Not unlike many other bands, Duritz and company are trying to figure out their next move, even as he keeps writing and his band continues booking gigs and playing live for their fans.

“I’ve got a lot of pieces of songs. I’m just a little hesitant to finish them right now because I’m a little unsure of how to put out music right now. I kind of made everybody in our organization take some time, do some research and come up with some thoughts about better ways to get our music out there,” he said. “My last album was my favorite one that we’ve ever done. I loved [2014’s] Somewhere Under Wonderland. It got really good critical reviews this time and didn’t make much of an impression on the culture and I’d like to sort of change that for the next one.”

WORD FIND

Holiday Mathis Holiday Mathis Mathis HOROSCOPES ByByByHoliday

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s an ideal week to set up routines that help you succeed. You’ll be most productive when you tap into your natural rhythms. Notice when you’re performing at your peak and pay attention to when you’re tired, too. Then you can schedule yourself accordingly. The weekend will bring a fun development in your personal life.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Many parts of your life are going great, but there’s one area that currently has you baffled. When your thoughts follow from, “How did I get here?” the answer may be foggy. It’s like you’ve been sleepwalking, but this week’s action will gently nudge you awake, aware and ready to move more deliberately.

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND A Theatrical Occasion Letters 29 FIND Solution: WORD

A Theatrical Occasion Solution: 29 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Some will experience you as a spinning wheel of heart-based energy. You’re also very organized, and when you focus, you can channel your efforts in extremely practical and result-oriented ways. So much of what you try will work. Your efforts will be rewarded publicly and cherished privately. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The 80/20 rule will strongly apply to what you’ll encounter this week. Of course, the trick is in determining the 20 percent of effort that will net the 80 percent of results. A high-level overview is needed to see it clearly. A detour from life as usual will help. Ask experienced and knowledgeable people for insights.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Finally, the chance to be fun! Of course, “being fun” is always an option, though not always so obviously as it is this week. The secret is simple. Relax, and then make the people around you feel important so they can relax, too. A memorable spontaneity will ensue; the kind on which lasting relationships thrive. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The week features a time-sensitive situation that seems to take over your life for a few days. Some of the pressure is artificial, due to arbitrary deadlines set by people just trying to move things forward. Ask for leeway if you need. Put your own health and well-being first. Don’t let anyone stress you out. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you find that you don’t want what you once did, it’s not because you were wrong, it’s just that wishes can be fickle. Think of it all as an experiment. Stay lighthearted, remain on your own side, and know that you’ll be satisfied in time. It may help you to think of your appetites as guides, not masters. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may get the feeling that matters of attraction aren’t really personal, rather they depend on positioning, power dynamics and hitting the right triggers. Maybe it’s a slightly cynical way to see it, or maybe it’s a way that frees you to hone some skills and experiment in order to get more of what you’d like in your life. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don’t even have to know people personally to be impacted, influenced or motivated by them. Sometimes just the idea of a person -- or the ideas a person has set forth -- can be enough to change you. This week, one exciting individual will make you see yourself differently, thus altering your course. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It might be interesting or validating to acquire what can be quantified in material terms, but your deepest desire is for intangible things -- to grow as a person and a thinker, to become deeper so you can share more soulful connections. All these desires are met through better listening and keener perception.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Once you make your mind up, you are unstoppable. Therefore, choosing the best goal is key. There will be two ways to know what (or whom) to focus on. Either you’ll be strongly attracted or strongly repelled by the prospect. Taking on repellant work will make you grow faster, while working on what attracts you will be the more pleasant route. Pay attention to the major cosmic hints coming your way over the next three weeks. Payouts come in November and July. May is for lovers.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). This week features an increase in competition, and you say, “Bring it on!” You relish in having a reason to work harder, be more focused and fully embody your true potential. Your choices will be rather cut and dried: either advance and achieve, or retreat and watch someone else achieve.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). While there are plenty of people out there trying to “be somebody,” when you get treated like a “somebody,” it makes you want to hide. After all, “somebodys” are expected to perform. Don’t worry so much. You’re up to it, or you will be soon enough. Keep practicing your thing. The breakthrough is imminent.

Adventureland

A Day on the East End

Ferry to Fire Island While it never technically “closes,” the best time to visit Fire Island is between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Filled with beaches, bars and shops, this car-free island is only accessible by ferry, or by foot from Robert Moses State Park, and provides a peaceful getaway and a “back-to-basics mentality.” While Fire Island can be a little bit on the pricier side, the beautiful views and fun experiences are well worth it. Go for the day or rent a house or hotel room for the weekend trip; no matter what, you will leave the island feeling refreshed. Go to www. fireisland.com for information on booking trips, ferry stops and things to do on the island.

For the of-drinking-age community looking for something to do, Clovis Point Winery in Jamesport can offer a great day of anything from yoga in the vineyards (complete with a complimentary glass of wine), or an evening of live music and wine tastings. Located at 1935 Main Rd., Jamesport, the winery has beautiful views of their vineyards, and open spaces to gather, drink and enjoy the day. Tastings range from $16 to $31, depending on how many wines are being tried. Make sure to assign a designated driver before getting too carried away in the fun and drinks. Visit www.clovispointwines. com, or 631-722-4222 for more information on events, tastings and Clovis Point’s available wines.

Adventureland Amusement Park, located at 2245 Broad Hollow Rd., Farmingdale, will start to shut down starting in September, moving from being open every day to open only on the weekends with condensed hours until Oct. 28. While entering the park is free, in order to ride the rides, tickets or wristbands are necessary. Single tickets cost $1.50 each, but it costs three to five tickets per ride, so typically wristbands are a better bang for your buck. Wristbands cost $32.99 per person, and grants all access to unlimited rides for the day. With rides from the Musik Express to the Turbulence Coaster, there is something for everyone. More information is available at www.adventureland.us or by calling 631-694-6868. Winding down the summer is never fun, especially for students returning to school, but adding some of these activities and places to visit to your end of August itinerary, the dog days of summer can still be made exciting and memorable for years to come.

DINING

Get Fed Sempre Fame satisfies with boundless barbecue STEVE MOSCO

SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

arbecue purists are as finicky as they are knowledgeable. These perfectionists of the pit tend to believe that regional separation of meats, sauces and rubs must be diligently maintained—that the sacred art of low-and-slow would crumble if the flavors of different preparations dared to mingle. Let that outdated barbecue belief system stay in the southern states, for up here in the north, the pit is a party and everyone is invited. Such is the concept at the heart of Sempre Fame Gourmet Grill, BBQ & Catering, an unassuming storefront in Floral Park that houses the best of all that is smoked, sauced and kissed by a flame this side of the Mason Dixon Line. Opened about five years ago by brothers John and Chris Cavallo, Sempre Fame (translated from Italian as “Always Hungry”) has steadily built a loyal fan base on a solid foundation of barbecue classics like pulled pork and brisket, but also with uniquely inventive sandwiches and over-the-top burgers as well as insane snacks like deep fried pig skins, smoked fried wings and empanadas (which they obviously dubbed “Semprenadas”). And outside of the store, Sempre Fame’s catering efforts have progressed to mythical proportions, transforming backyards, offices and more into staging areas for mouth-watering succulence. The friendly and inviting restaurant’s menu is indeed a confluence of barbecue styles, with Texas, Carolina, St. Louis and every regional favorite in between given a home under Sempre Fame’s roof. And bringing it all together is the old-world influence of the Cavallo’s Italian heritage—a love for food that is apparent in the eatery’s creative preparation and with his brother Chris nodding in agreement. “As an adherence to fresh ingredients. And it is precisely Italian family, it was all about the food.” that Italian influence that separates Sempre Fame That mantra remains true at the Cavallos’ restaufrom the rest of the pack. rant, with the Italian heritage making its way into “Growing up, we would cook all day,” John said some of the preparations. This is particularly true with the Pyro Pork sandwich, which loads pulled pork, bacon and mozzarella on Texas toast with the game-changing cherry pepper sauce, a proprietary concoction that brings just enough heat to the sweet bite of the pulled pork. Viewed in all its glory as a cross-section, the sandwich is thick, lush and dotted with bits of cherry pepper, while the taste itself is almost overwhelmingly deep and dynamic. Another must order sandwich is the brisket with mozzarella cheese and sautéed onions. Here, it’s the sautéed onions that elevate the sandwich to another flavor level, as the caramelized onions bestow their natural sweetness unto the heartiness and big smoky bite of the brisket. Other enticing sandwiches are the smoked pork belly BLT, grilled chicken with roasted peppers and fresh mozzarella, pulled pork Cuban and the Alabama wrap, with chicken cutlet, sautéed onions, melted mozzarella, French fries and Alabama white sauce. Then there’s The Pyro Pork sandwich sees the addition of cherry the deliciously unhinged sandwich, the Clogs, with peppers to the classic pulled pork mouthful.

20180831_XAL_LNW_PG00 - 1:19August 27, 2018

smoked brisket layered between chicken cutlets, topped with melted mozzarella and bacon. The hand-rolled and seasoned burgers menu is just as intensely Instagram-able as the sandwiches, with offerings like the Slob, a bacon cheeseburger topped with pulled pork and slaw; The Pat, a bacon cheeseburger with hot cherry peppers, cherry pepper sauce, French fries and sautéed onions; and the Burgerito, a burger/burrito marriage with bacon cheeseburger and fresh cut fries in a wrap with barbecue sauce. Traditional barbecue is far more apparent in Sempre Fame’s platters, with the likes of brisket, smoked corned beef, pulled pork, ribs, marinated grilled chicken and barbecued legs and thighs beaming with the classic hallmarks of the smoked arts—deeply flavored, sticky and sweet, with a robustness that ensures eaters will need to roll themselves out of the restaurant when the meal ends. But even the barbecue mainstays are subject to treatments that aren’t exactly traditional. Case in point is the deep fried ribs, ordered by the half or full rack. As the story goes, an employee was looking for a late-night bite after all the smokers had been shut

Brothers Chris and John Cavallo bring inventive and gut-busting flavors to barbecue at Sempre Fame in Floral Park, where sandwiches and burgers overflow with rich succulence and all of the food is made fresh with a strict adherence to homemade standards. down for the night. Rather than go to bed hungry, the unnamed genius dropped the ribs into the deep fryer. The resulting ribs are now a constant on Sempre Fame’s daily specials menu. Some might think that deep fried ribs would be dry and tough— that is a monumentally incorrect assumption. These ribs bite clean off the bone with a tender juiciness that sets the saliva glands to drool. The frying process also produces delightfully crisp rib-ends. For side dishes, the usual suspects are all available at Sempre Fame, including mac ‘n cheese, buttered corn, collard greens, fresh cut fries, sweet potato fries, cole slaw, potato salad and truly next-level baked beans that one can surely smell from around the corner. Sempre Fame’s commitment doesn’t end with barbecue, as the eatery is incredibly active in the community. Along with partnerships with local schools, a sponsorship of Little League teams and many other charitable endeavors, including a yearly Christmas visit to the Ronald McDonald House of Long Island, Sempre Fame also hosts two events a year with the Association of Children with Down Syndrome (ACDS), inviting youngsters to the

restaurant to hang out and eat. “It comes naturally to us,” John said about the restaurant’s relationship with the community, as he flipped through a binder stuffed with “thank you”

notes from appreciative organizations. “It’s good to give back.” Sempre Fame, 374 Tulip Ave., Floral Park, 516488-7900, www.semprefame.com

THE SPORTS DESK

Finding The Right Pilot BY CHRISTOPHER BIRSNER CBIRSNER@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

hen you think of New York Jets legends, there’s one name that should always comes to mind: Joe Namath. “Broadway Joe” was a historically great quarterback, leading the team to its only Super Bowl victory—the great upset against the Baltimore Colts in 1968. He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985. To this day, Namath is the longest-tenured Jets quarterback and the only one elected to the hall. It’s been a long time since they’ve had that kind of success at the position. That is, they hope, until now. Enter Sam Darnold, a 21-year-old arm out of USC who is hoping to become the team’s long-awaited answer to the question mark at quarterback. “The Jets have been wanting a quarterback seemingly since Joe Namath was traded [in 1977],” said ESPN’s NFL Insider Adam Schefter. “They traded up in this year’s draft and got a guy they never thought they would be able to get at number three.” Darnold was USC’s starting quarterback for 24 games over two seasons, finishing with a record of 204, a Pac-12 Championship, and two New York Six bowl appearances. “[The Jets] have what they think and hope is their quarterback of the future,” said Schefter. “If Sam Darnold is as good as advertised, they should be set for the next 12-15 years.” Of course, winning the starting job won’t be easy right away from the rookie. In his way is a strong veteran in Josh McCown, who spent most of last season as the starter, and a comeback story in Teddy Bridgewater, who signed with the Jets in March. There’s a lot of pressure on Darnold to succeed as soon as possible. Schefter notes how difficult it will be for Darnold, or any rookie, to deal with the NFL at first. “You are adjusting to a whole new life professionally and personally,”

Rookie Sam Darnold (above) prepares to command the Jets offense in practice, hoping to win the starting quarterback job over Josh McCown and Teddy Bridgewater. Schefter said. “Anyone that goes through a first job will have an adjustment period. It’s no different for them. All anyone has to do is think

about the first time they ever worked. Do that, and add in everyone that’s watching in the New York metropolitan area; that gives you an idea of how difficult it is to do a job while everyone is counting on you.” The good news for Darnold is that he has plenty of talent around him to help matters in 2018. Isaiah Crowell, Bilal Powell, and Elijah McGuire will all be playing an important role in the run game come the start of the season, with Crowell and McGuire seen as power backs and Powell catching out of the back field. Meanwhile the receiving group is deep with talent. Jermaine Kearse had an excellent 2017, and he should continue to prosper even with the return of Quincy Enuwa from injury. Robby Anderson is dealing with offfield issues, but can make a leap this year with solid quarterback play. There’s also the Jets young defense that could make life easier for the offense. While the team’s pass rush has struggled in recent seasons, former

first-round pick Leonard Williams and rookie Nathan Shepard look to make a big impact in getting after opposing quarterbacks. In the middle of the defense, free agent acquisition Avery Williamson joins another former first-round pick Darron Lee to help catch the enemy offense in every play they run. But the stars of the defense will be the secondary, where Jamal Adams and Marcus Maye are entering their second years as starting safeties and will likely take over the defense as the focal point. The addition of cornerback Trumaine Johnson, who has been a cornerstone player on the Los Angeles Rams for years, will greatly help in shutting down receivers. Regardless of the talent that was added this offseason for the Jets, all eyes will be on Darnold as he preps for his first season of his NFL career. While it’s too soon to guarantee they have their next Namath, the Jets are hoping that they’ll begin winning with him in the near future.
