The Sum Of All Parts BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

Cuban Art This part of the exhibition reflects artists who have worked in myriad disciplines cultivated through the Cuban state’s specialized schools, galleries, cultural institutions and programs. Posters created in the past decade by a new generation of Cuban artists dominate this space.

DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

he new ¡Cuba! exhibition at the American Museum of Natural History explores the nation’s history, traditions, geology, highly diverse ecosystems and native species. The following are some of the highlights visitors will be able to experience through Aug. 13. Cuban Avenue A stroll through this section allows visitors to view a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air, scenes from Cuba’s Carnival in July (to commemorate the Revolution) and the rise of small businesses represented by pictures of thriving food carts and the part bicycle/part taxicab that is a bicitaxi (at right). Zapata Wetlands Visitors get a taste of the 1.5 million acres that comprise the marshes, peat bogs, mangroves and forests that make up wetlands populated by turtles, birds, insects, shellfish, frogs and crocodiles. Cuba’s Caves Caves that date back millions of years have yielded a treasure trove of artifacts including wall paintings, graves, artifacts and fossils. Along with traces of ancient peoples, scientists also found the remains of Ornimegalonyx, an extinct near-flightless giant owl that was the size of a small child.

Cuba’s Coral Reefs Gardens of the Queen is an 840-square mile archipelago in the southern part of Cuba established as a national park and is the country’s largest protected area. This part of the exhibition reflects the area’s rich biodiversity that includes coral, starfish, sea fans, sponges, sharks and spiny lobsters. Alejandro de Humboldt National Park Stretched out over roughly 275-square miles, this park stretches from the mountains to the sea and is one of the most biologically diverse island sites on the planet. A mix of preserved (rodents, snails, insects) and live (lizards, boa constrictors, frogs) animals populate this part of the exhibition.

Afro-Cuban Religion Cuba’s early post-Revolution days may have left it an atheist country, but later reforms allowed for increased religious freedom. Santería, a hybrid of spiritual beliefs, is reflected in the exhibit by way of reconstructed altars that include talismans, musical instruments, garments and totems. Tobacco in Cuba Given that cigars are one of Cuba’s leading exports, a replica of a tobacco drying room is included here. Beyond the replica leaves and tools displayed here, visitors learn about the cultural impact of professional readers (lectors) that recite news and novels to workers, promoting literacy and political ideas to the masses. To read a full story on the ¡Cuba! exhibition, go to page 6A. The ¡Cuba! exhibition will be on view through Aug. 13 at the American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West and 79th Street, NYC.

DINING

Taco Tuesday Every Day BY STEVE MOSCO

SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

couple of years ago, some enterprising eater gifted the world with the taco emoji—a cartoon icon that deftly illustrates a love of tacos through text messages. Now, a gentle touch of the screen can express exactly what we need when the perils of life get us down. Tacos. We need tacos. There has been an influx of authentic Mexican eateries over the years, offering traditional tacos on soft, corn tortillas with an array of meat that never includes ground beef and topped with chopped white onion and cilantro, but never with lettuce, tomato and only sometimes with cheese. Authentic tacos are good, but that is not what this article is covering. Here, I want to talk about Americanized tacos stuffed with beef (and, sure, chicken), cheese, sour cream, diced tomatoes, lettuce and served in a crunchy shell that almost always falls apart with the first bite. Seeking out these nontraditional tacos, there are few places that do it better than Taco King at 480 Hempstead Tpke. in West Hempstead. Highbrow purists might thumb their noses at Taco King, calling it inauthentic and below their lofty starndards. These people are either liars or

needlessly depriving themselves of one of life’s simple pleasures. Many steps above fast-food behemoth Taco Bell in terms of freshness of ingredients and attention to detail, Taco King doesn’t delve into taco assembly lines with sour cream caulking guns, novelty shells made from Doritos or some other gimmick dreamed up by the Taco Bell braintrust. Taco King is all about the no-frills experience of eating four or five tacos in one sitting—the crunchy explosion that occurs with each bite, filling the foil below with enough taco runoff to fill another whole taco. The options are straightforward at Taco King: black bean, pinto, chili (ground beef), chicken, skirt steak, pulled pork, shrimp, steamed vegetables and a fajita variation that adds onion and pepper to the mix of any taco. The structural integrity of the tacos is helped by cheese, which holds the shell together in some spots. The meats are surprisingly well-seasoned for this type of eatery, with the chili standing out in flavor and spice. Taco King also earns high marks for using skirt steak in all of its steak preparations, including the tacos. Meanwhile, the chicken boasts a char that brings unexpected depth to the simple, hand-held meal. There are also burritos, quesadillas, rice bowls, platters, nachos, salads

and one-pound fajitas on Taco King’s brisk menu. If you are into soft tacos, Taco King makes its flour tortillas daily, baking each per request for freshness. This gives the eatery’s burritos an extra element of grandeur with each pillowy bite. Also, the prices cannot be beat, especially on Taco Tuesday when tacos are priced at a delightfully paltry 89 cents. That means one could potentially spend less than $10 for 10 tacos—thanks, math. Find that taco emoji and get the word out— tacos are the supreme ruler of fast, portable food, and nowhere is that more true than at Taco King.

The widely attended annual Bethpage Air Show once again took place over Memorial Day Weekend, marked the true beginning of summer for many of Long Island’s eager beach-goers. On Saturday, May 27, and Sunday, May 28, onlookers were treated to awe-inspiring stunts and impressive aerial acrobatics performed by some of the world’s top pilots above the coast of Jones Beach State Park. Lieutenant Colonel John Klatt, one of the world’s top aerobatic pilots flew his “Screamin’ Sasquatch” Jack Links Jet Waco aircraft as part of the show, and was able to give a couple of our editors a taste of the action beforehand. Departing from Republic Airport in Farmingdale, Klatt maneuvered an Extra 300 aircraft toward the shore while initiating flips and twists along the way, often flying upside down for stretches of time. While the afternoon joyride was just a brief peek at what the weekend show had in store, it was enough to showcase the incredible skill that Klatt and his fellow pilots possess. “It’s an honor to be able to fly in the air show,” said Klatt, who has been a participant for the past 10 years. “Over Memorial Day Weekend it is important to honor all the people who served and those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. It’s important for us not to forget.” More photos from the preview flight can be seen at www.longislandweekly.com.

Bringing

¡Cuba! To The Masses

Exhibition showcases island’s culture and bio-diversity When the Obama Administration revived diplomatic relations with Cuba back in 2015, it provided the opening for the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) to work on and eventually unveil ¡Cuba!, an exhibition that explores the island nation’s rich biodiversity and culture and is the museum’s first full bilingual show. Unveiled in late November of last year, it will be on view until Aug. 13. In the meantime, visitors get to take in aspects of Cuba’s traditions and art to the natural beauty represented by the diverse ecosystems found in the sea, on land and in the marshes and caves in between. Specimens, live

animals and lifelike models represent this distinctive cross-section of wildlife, both living and extinct. And while both countries’ governments are attempting to warm up to each other following a decades-long embargo, the relationship between the AMNH and its Cuban colleagues goes back to the first scientific expedition to Cuba led by ornithologist Frank Chapman in 1892. “American Museum of Natural History scientists have worked in collaboration with colleagues in Cuba for many decades, studying the extraordinary biological diversity and endemism of this island nation,” said American Museum of Natural History President Ellen V. Futter. “We are delighted now to work in collaboration with the National

Natural History Museum in Havana in a groundbreaking partnership to present this major exhibition exploring Cuba’s amazing and unique nature and culture, especially at a time when cultural understanding and education are critically important.” Recreations of the Zapata wetlands (including a model of an endangered Cuban crocodile lunging out of the water for some prey), a reconstructed cave environment where fossil remains of a giant ground sloth once common to the island were found and a replication of the jewel-like keys called Gardens of the Queen can be experienced by visitors looking to explore Cuba’s biological and ecological attributes. The country’s cultural side is also represented in great depth as well. Exhibits highlight its 16-team baseball league and food while an old Philco radio in working condition allows visitors to listen to traditional classical Cuban music, dance songs and even hard rock. Old and new are bridged with a walk down a fictional boulevard that has a segment where visitors can play a game of dominoes, view a walking tour of different villages, cities and regions or stop to admire a fully restored 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air. An introductory film about Cuba’s history—including its first peoples, slavery, sugar industry and the 1959 revolution—provides visitors with historical context for contemporary realities at the beginning of the exhibition. Nearby, life-sized portraits of modern Cubans paired with short excerpts offer a chorus of voices from Cuba and abroad that offer varying perspectives, observations, dreams and views. Other parts of the exhibition include a replica of a tobacco drying room and a pair of altars celebrating the Afro-Cuban spiritual tradition known as Santería. The collaboration between AMNH researchers and Cuban scientists continues, with the most recent endeavor being Explore21, an initiative that began in 2013 to foster a series of innovative scientific expeditions to meet the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. Fall 2015 saw an Explore21 Expedition team of museum and Cuban scientists head off to the

This kind of scientific teamwork will continue and serves a crucial role according to Michael Novacek, the museum’s senior vice president and provost for science. “The Museum has a long and fascinating history of collaboration with Cuba,” Novacek said. “Notwithstanding the active history of expeditionary work, there is still much to discover and understand about the Cuban biota, a mission that has become especially urgent in light of what could be an upsurge in development and industrialization of the island in coming years.” The ¡Cuba! exhibit will be on view through Aug. 13 at the American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West and 79th Street, NYC.

Farm To People: Supporting Food Entrepreneurs BY LYN DOBRIN

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

Just as a love relationship can lose its spark—same old, same old, that’s how I was feeling about cooking. The old joke became a reality: What should we make for dinner? A reservation. And then Farm to People came into my life and the romance is back, at least in the kitchen. Farm to People is a Brooklyn-based company, created and run by father and son David and Michael Robinov, which sources food products from artisanal companies throughout the U.S. and sends them directly to people like you and me. My granddaughter located Farm to People on the Internet and her parents agreed it would be a perfect gift for someone who loves food and surprises and has a sense of adventure—me. They ordered three tasting boxes, one each for January, February and March and I’ve been in food lovers paradise since. We eagerly opened our first Home Chef Tasting Box when it arrived. There were nine items: whole grain

organic spaghetti, a jar of Moroccan tomato sauce, butternut squash seed pepitas, strawberry ancho preserves, vinegar, bourbon smoked togarashi seasoning, a chocolate bar, chocolate sauce and a chocolate caramel peanut pretzel. Accompanying the products was a beautiful glossy foldout brochure. Each panel featured a picture of the product and photo of the people who produce it with a paragraph on their business, plus descriptions of the item and suggestions for use and a tiny map of the state where it was made

Sinfully Sweet

Candy bar buffets are growing in popularity BY JENNIFER FAUCI

JFauci@antonmediagroup.com

ver the last few years, it seems it’s not enough to have a party and hand out a favor, sending guests on their way. Kids and adults alike expect something more. Whether it’s a food truck at the end of a wedding, a dessert table at a sweet sixteen or candy bar buffet at a bar or bat mitzvah, celebratory events are all about the wow factor, something Karin Hlywiak understands. Hlywiak is the owner of Sinfully Sweet, a candy and dessert buffet service that pulls out all the customized stops for your big day. “Everything is custom and you can hire me to do your wedding, baby shower, sweet sixteen, corporate function, it’s based upon what you want,” said Hlywiak, who doesn’t charge per person but has a minimum of $750 to go out for an event which normally includes a minimum of 50 people. “I always ask the customer what they want to spend and they really don’t know, which is understandable, so I’ll throw out a number and we’ll go from there.” Sinfully Sweet’s main draw is the dozens of types of candy that people go crazy over, however, Hlywiak can also include S’mores pops, push pops, cake pops, brownies and cupcakes, all baked in house at her husband’s bakery, JJ’s Rockin’ Cupcakes and Cakes in Massapequa. “Candy bar buffets used to be just sweet sixteens and bar and bat mitzvahs because sometimes they spend more than a wedding, but edible favors are huge and they’ve been huge over the last five years. They’re popping up more and more,” she said. “Sometimes people have pictures and ask if I can do it or they have an idea and we’ll go from there. Other times, customers don’t know what they want, they just know they want a wow factor.” Sinfully Sweet’s candy bar buffets are packed with candy, and Hlywiak always adds special touches like lights and illuminating rock candy sticks. She also offers different upgrades and various forms of signage in her packages. “You can pick whatever you want and I have a graphic designer, Victoria Jean, who creates all of the signage, whether it’s rustic or modern or glitzy or glamourous. It really makes everything pop,” she said of the candy bar packages, which feature the Sweet Package, which includes dessert and candy labels; Make It Pop, which has more to choose from and the VIP Production, which has everything from the poster sign to signs

for the takeout containers. Hlywiak does more than just plan and set up the event. She arrives early in the morning to set up, which can take upwards of six hours depending on the size of the candy bar, stays for the whole event and then cleans up after. “I don’t advertise, it’s only through word of mouth. I am more expensive than other candy bar buffets, but when you book me you gets the works,” she said, adding that four to six months before an event is a good window of time to book. Hlywiak works with several Long Island and New York distributors that can get the most nostalgic and old school candy to today’s sugary favorites. As a precaution, she stays away from anything peanut butter to avoid allergies. “Our colored candy buffets are very popular, especially around communion season, where everything is pink or

blue. Visually, the colored buffets are just really cool,” she said, adding that the most popular candy is rock candy because it’s nostalgic and not something you see every day. “For presentation purposes it looks beautiful. We also do a lot of sour candies, sour belts and one of the most popular things we do are candy kabobs.” One of Hlywiak’s creative add-ons is cotton candy on glow sticks, however, she will only offer it to a party that has a minimum of 50 to 75 people due to price. As for props, they are provided by the company, but if a customer wants a specific creation they must pay. Customers can also purchase props as a souvenir as well. “The customer can take over any leftover candy that’s there. I refill and don’t limit the amount of times kids and people can come up,” said Hlywiak, who always brings extra candy. “We make extra boxes for the guest of honor and

if we see a lot of candy didn’t go, we’ll make boxes for guests to take home.” The candy buffet comes out an hour prior to the end of the event as it serves as the wow factor, the surprise ending or a sweet favor. Sinfully Sweet makes a big production out of the reveal, complete with a DJ announcement and photoshoot with the family. “I’m very passionate about what I do and with me, you get a built in event planner and all the knowledge you could possibly ask for,” said Hlywiak. Sinfully Sweet is the perfect ending to a sweet night. Hlywiak is located in Massapequa but works all over the tri-state area.

COOKING from page 8A with a red dot on the exact location. We started tasting and Mina’s Shakshuka Sauce, made in New York City, became an immediate favorite. Shakshuka is a rich-spiced North African-flavored tomato sauce typically cooked in a frying pan with poached eggs and bread to mop up the sauce, similar to huevos rancheros. Shakshuka is a staple of Libyan, Egyptian, Tunisian, Algerian and Moroccan cuisines and is also popular in Israel where it was introduced by Libyan and Tunisian Jews who immigrated there. Mina, my little brochure told me, is a Moroccan woman who studied in Paris. We now have bottles of the sauce in the pantry ready for a quick meal. Our next favorite was the whole grain pasta from Community Grains in Oakland, CA. This was the first whole grain pasta that I’ve ever liked. Greatness was achieved with the chocolate bar from Acalli Chocolate in New Orleans, made with Peruvian cocoa beans and organic Louisiana sugar. From Old School Favorites, a business in Southampton, we enjoyed Chocolate Szauce, a thick ganache-like spread. The two other boxes have proved to be equally interesting and now lemon sugar cookies from Grey Ghost Bakery in Charleston and Whiskey Sour Pickles, from Brooklyn Brine, made the list.

Speaking of Brooklyn, a look at all the products from New York (found on the map under Farms & Producers at the top left of their website) will lead you to believe that half of Brooklyn is cooking up something—hot sauces from Hawa Hassan’s Basbaas, jam from The Jam Stand, Nuts+Nuts cashew products created by three sisters who grew up in Indonesia, and lots more. All producers must have insurance and certified kitchen approval from the NYS Department of Health. “It’s all about knowing your food,” said David. “Withus big corporations Visit at: LongIslandWe taking control of thefacebook.com/LongIslandW industry, we believe that it is more important than ever for people to know theirTwitter: food and@LIWeekly Instagram: who’s making it.” The Rosinovs hopeLongIslandWe Farm to People can be a platform that will energize that conversation as well as a transparent business for conscious eaters who want to support sustainable, small-batch producers.

Best Part-Time Jobs For High School Students BY DAVID QUILTY SpecialSectionS@antonmediagroup.com

Finding and keeping a part-time job while attending high school can be a daunting task. Balancing work with classes, homework, extracurricular activities, and just hanging out with friends can be tough, but millions of teens are able to manage part-time work along with their other responsibilities. During my first two years of high school I was a paper delivery boy, leaving at 4 am every morning to deliver newspapers. I also went out once or twice a week in the evening to collect money from my customers. For the last two years of school I had a retail job, behind the counter at a mom and pop drugstore. These jobs taught me how to manage money, how to handle responsibility, and how to deal with the general public. They were invaluable experiences and provided me with some much-needed autonomy and spending money, too.

Part-Time Jobs for High School Students Some students work in traditional part-time jobs, but many students take a more entrepreneurial approach to earning money. There are a number of side business ideas

you can begin that take advantage of your unique skills and abilities. Starting a business appeals to many students because the hours are flexible, the pay is as good as or better than a “real” job, and you’re the boss. Some of the most popular parttime jobs and small business opportunities for high school students include being an animal shelter worker, working in arts and crafts

There are different schools of thought on whether teenagers should have part-time jobs, but I find that the pros easily outweigh any cons. A teenager who works long hours every day after school could see his or her schoolwork suffer, but a less-intensive part-time job can be a wonderful learning experience. If kids can get to school on time, maintain solid grades, and participate in school activities, part-time jobs in high school can be beneficial to their success. Solid GPA and SAT test scores are important to gain entrance to college, but schools look for more than just good test scores. Universities also look for well-rounded students. An application from a high school student who holds a part-time job demonstrates determination, drive, and perseverance. Before applying for any part-time job, it’s important to familiarize yourself with the child labor laws in your state. Some states require that minors have work permits in order to apply for jobs. In some areas, minors are not permitted to work in certain types of occupations, or cannot work during school hours. Some states

End Of School Year Tips The days are getting longer and the weather is becoming warmer. The promise of a relaxing summer is within our grasp. At the same time, students need to complete projects, prepare for final exams and experience emotions about the transition into a new grade. Focus and motivation can begin to dwindle while at the same time, stress and anxiety rise. Here are some tips to help your scholar make it through the end of the school year on a positive note:

PARENTING MATTERS Graziella Simonetti

Create A Visual

Hang a large calendar somewhere in the home where it is easy to see. Routines Fill it with important dates, deadlines This is not the time to switch the routines you have had in place all year. and activities such as end of the year parties, field days and recitals. Children Although it stays lighter later, mainare more likely to be motivated to work tain routines around mealtime and bedtime. Children of all ages thrive on through deadlines when they see that there are relaxed and fun activities in routines and will have better school the mix. This will also help you stay performance if they follow them. Remind yourself and your children that organized during a hectic time of year, and if you feel organized and calm, summer break is very close and when your children feel anchored. it starts, routines can be modified.

Get Outside

Point Out Progress

Children’s concentration improves if they spend more time outdoors. Letting your children have time to play outside for an hour or so after school will positively impact their focus. Even consider having some parts of their routine such as mealtime or reading take place outside.

Reflect with your children about the school year that is ending. Discuss what they learned and how they faced challenges. Look back on projects and assignments collected throughout the year. Decide together which items you want to save. Celebrate the progress they made throughout the year.

Stay Involved

As much as possible, maintain your level of enthusiasm and engagement in the school process. Your children will feed off this energy. If they see that you are losing interest or motivation, it will be hard for them to maintain theirs. While this time of year can be exciting, it can also feel unpredictable and disorderly. For some children, the anticipation of change and the unfamiliarity of what lies ahead can feel sad and scary. Validate your children’s feelings. Encourage them to speak or draw about what they are feeling. Help keep

things as structured and predictable as possible for them. Problem solve with your children and role play with them to help them with the anticipatory anxiety they are experiencing.

In addition to an interactive booth, complete with a pancake bot, Kano computer building kits, Makerbot 3D printers and tons of information, Miller presented his vision for the S.T.E.A.M. shack accompanied by his Sunrise camper, Lane, who inspired Miller to create this innovative program.

Billions To Be Invested In State Education Governor Andrew Cuomo recently signed legislation investing a record $25.8 billion in high-quality education across New York State. The new legislation boosts education aid by $1.1 billion, including a $700 million increase in Foundation Aid. The bold investment builds on the governor’s commitment to strengthening educational outcomes, including an increase in education aid of $6.2 billion, or 32 percent, over the last six years. The governor also announced the second round of the Empire State Excellence in Teaching Program, which recognizes 60 teachers across New York who are successfully preparing a new generation of learners for the future. Winners will receive an award from the governor, the opportunity to advise education policy makers, and a stipend of $5,000. The funds can be used for continued learning and professional development.

The state budget makes historic investments at every level of the educational landscape in order to improve student success. Regionally, the 2018 budget increases school aid on Long Island by $129.0 million, including a $78.9 million increase in Foundation Aid.

Holy Cross Receives Million-Dollar Gift With deep gratitude, Holy Cross High School acknowledged a transformative gift of $1 million from a very successful and forward-thinking alumnus in support of the school’s STREAM curriculum, an acronym which stands for Science, Theology, Robotics, Engineering, Art and Mathematics. The most generous donor wishes to remain anonymous. In recognition of its Catholic identity as an academic institution sponsored by the congregation of Holy Cross, and building on the concepts of a growing methodology of education that encourages students to pursue inquiries and solve problems that are relevant to their world, Holy Cross High School is enhancing its STREAM curriculum. As espoused by the New York City Department of Education,

Holy Cross students are using the engineering design process to identify problems, design possible solutions and test and evaluate the outcomes. “In keeping with the founder of the congregation of Holy Cross, Blessed Basil Moreau, ‘How we educate the mind will change with the times; how we cultivate the heart is and will remain timeless.’ The STREAM Curriculum at Holy Cross is part of the school’s ever-changing effort to best prepare young people to contribute to the global economy,” said Mike Truesdell, president of Holy Cross. “As a result of this inspirational and aspirational gift from an anonymous alumnus, Holy Cross graduates will continue to excel as they take their next academic and career steps.”

Long Island Fishing Report —May 18, 2017

BY RYAN SCHLICHTER

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

Fluke season is finally here and another piece of the Long Island summer fishing scene has been put in place. With yesterday’s season opener, there were plenty of keepers decked as well as shorts released, but the overall numbers of fish it seems were great. Bass, blues, weakfish and porgies are also hitting well, so just like the weather, the fishing is getting hot. At Hudson Park Bait and Tackle, John reports that the bass fishing had been hot under the Throgs Neck Bridge recently, until yesterday when a big pod of dolphins showed up and chased them right out. However, the fishing in Hempstead has been going well, especially for anglers trolling spoons or parachute rigs. The fluke bite in Hudson Park wasn’t great but there was a reported double-header of 20-inch fish caught off the local breakwall. Scup can be found all over,

and in large sizes. In Brooklyn, at Stella Maris, Stretch has seen great bluefish action from Kingsborough Community College down to Norton’s Point and the back of Jamaica Bay. The best bite has been on jigs and bunker. Fluke fishing yielded a couple of decent keepers but the next couple days should paint a clearer picture of how the season will really be this year. Over by Long Beach, anglers have been snagging live bunker and letting them drift, much to the delight of any passing stripers. The fish are starting to get bigger and the action should only improve from here on out. At River Bay Outfitters, Paul calls in that the water was packed for yesterday’s opening on summer flatties. It was tough to tell how the overall action was, but the effort was clearly there and there are sure to be some good fish decked. Bass and blues have been patrolling the Jamaica Bay waters as well as in most

back bays. Weakfish have also come alive as of late and have been hitting well. On the freshwater side, the latest trip for the Long Island Fly Rodders didn’t turn out a lot of fish but the ones that were landed were all big. The Carmans River has been fishing very well with flies, even with the high water level. Paul will be relocating the

shop in about one month to Baldwin, where he will have more room and begin running more trips and classes. Ryan Schlichter blogs for On The Water magazine. Visit www.onthewater. com for the full version of this report, including the fishing forecast for our waters and other regional fishing news.

BOOK REVIEW

King Of The Beats: Kerouac Lives On BY JOE SCOTCHIE

JScotcHie@antonmediagroup.com

Few people associate Long Island with the novelist Jack Kerouac. The latter sang of the open road, the restlessness of the postwar era, now that much more accessible with the interstate highway system. Long Island represented the opposite: Suburban normalcy, the fruits of that same postwar boom. Still, Kerouac, in the mid-1960s, lived in Northport with his elderly mother, a woman he was pledged to take care of following the death of Kerouac’s father when the novelist was still a young man. Kerouac liked his Northport home, mainly because it stood near a high school football field, one that reminded him of his own glory days on the gridiron in his hometown of Lowell, MA. Kerouac’s productivity, however, was drying up. He did little writing in Northport; predictably, he found a home at Gunther’s Pub, a local watering hole, which became the setting of a dramatic rendering of his time in Long Island, Kerouac’s Last Call, a play written by Massapequa resident Ed Fenton. Meanwhile, the proprietors of Gunther’s still get interviewed and in 2015, the Northport Historical Society conducted a “Kerouac Crawl” walking tour of the various drinking establishments the novelist frequented. In The Best Minds of my Generation: A Literary History of the Beats, author Allen Ginsberg makes the case for Kerouac as more than a Beat Generation icon. The young Kerouac wanted to be no less than the greatest writer in English since Shakespeare. Closer to home, Kerouac, who had a French ancestry, created the Dulouz Legend of his many autobiographical novels, which he hoped would make him the American version of a Balzac or a Flaubert. Aiming high, Kerouac also hoped to improve upon the achievement of another Frenchman, Marcel Proust. That quest for immortality drove him hard. From 1950 to 1961, Kerouac, as Ginsberg approvingly notes, wrote 23 books, plus “endless journals, poems and notebooks.” Ginsberg’s collection is not a complete history of the Beats.

This Week’s Newspaper In Education: Anton Lesson Plan: An Anton Media Group initiative to enhance our children’s

Math

learning experience through community news

Local News In The Classroom

With all the focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) programs in school, the “M” part of this acronym continues to be a crucial part of every student’s curriculum. To that end, this subject has a role in the makeup of newspapers and their place in culture. Numbers are found in budget stories, calculating winning percentages for teams in the sports section and even determining the amount of people who may be affected by various government policies. The following are exercises students can do to get a taste of the role mathematics plays in your newspaper. • Look through your newspaper to find the following shapes: squares, circles, rectangles, triangles, ovals and cylinders. Use a marker to trace the outline of each shape. • Pretend you were just given $100 to purchase 10 things you find in the newspaper. Circle the 10 items in the newspaper and calculate the total price. Who can come the closest to spending $100 without going over that amount? • Select three display ads or pictures from the newspaper. What is the perimeter and area of each? • Divide your class into teams. Give each team an imaginary $500. Which team can purchase 10 items and come the closest to $500 without going over. For advanced students, have them add sales tax to the items.

Want your classroom to be a part of this inspiring program? Simply fill out the form on the opposite page!

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND A Bloke’s Domain

ARIES (March 21-April 19). One surefire way to make life stressful is to compare yourself to the resume version of others. (Bonus stress if you pick out rich, famous and PhotoShopped people as your comparison points!) If stress isn’t what you want, beware: Your peaceful, easy feeling will cause you to stick out, and you’ll be too content to even care!

Solution: 31 Letters

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The world will reflect back to you your level of self-acceptance. If you feel you’re not being taken seriously or respected or paid enough, look inwardly for the acceptance you lack. How can you better honor your gifts? How can you prove to yourself that you’re worth it? Start there, and watch things change around you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The “authentic self” isn’t some mysterious being hiding inside you like the art that might emerge from a marble slab once it’s chipped at long enough. The “authentic self” is just you, being honest and relaying real thoughts and feelings instead of hiding under a social mask. Say the truth; life gets easy and simple. CANCER (June 22-July 22). In this life, problems and challenges are pretty much nonstop for all breathing people. The mature ones get to work and deal with it, while the immature ones complain incessantly in hopes that someone else will fix it. As you use critical thinking to create positive change, there’s no time for grievances. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s not just that you’re living on the most beautiful and diverse planet in the system; it’s also that you’re an important and inseparable part of it. Your gratitude extends out then boomerangs back -- because, as it turns out, this ballet of existence is also extremely grateful to you, the dancer. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your contributions to a project will be unique, significant and entirely imperfect. The rest of the project is also imperfect. As the odd curves and dips of your work meet with the curves and dips of the world, the picture comes together. Without you, things would be different and definitely less rich. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re not worried about trying and failing. In fact, you look forward to it, since the only true failure is not trying at all. You seek to try your best, to act directly (so as not to waste time) and to aim your efforts where they are likely to count. Ease up on the expectations. Trust your heart to want and know the right thing. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Don’t worry; you’re not being judgmental in any harmful way. This is different. It’s about assessing the situation. Trust your mind to wander where it wants. It will pull helpful information from a variety of sources. Later you can analyze the structures that affect you (especially social ones) and come up with a plan. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The flame of clarity will heat your soul. The action that you take will be natural and all-consuming. There will be nothing wasted, nothing wanted. Like the fire that is your element, who you are and what you do will be one in the same. You are acting unconsciously, and yet you are the consciousness. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you don’t feel successful, it’s only because you’re comparing yourself to the wrong people -- i.e., people who aren’t you. Anyway, no one wants to be the guy who peaks too early. So if you haven’t exactly hit it yet, this week is for cranking out the productivity. Fun will happen, too, despite your serious intentions. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your attractions change over time, and you expect the same from those you’ve known over the long run. In love and business, you want to stay on everyone’s “hot” list, and why not? Even when you’re happy with your choices, it’s good to have open options. This is why you change it up: just to keep them guessing. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). People around you find it endearing that such an appealing individual as yourself has managed to stay humble. Actually, this may be about low self-esteem that only you know about. No matter! Low and high self-esteem are two sides to the same coin. Losing your self-consciousness entirely -- there’s the magic.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You’re due for some pure love this year. What happens over the next three weeks will make you feel safe enough to be vulnerable to life and open to certain people. With lowered defenses you will learn faster. You’ll be flexible and brave. Your heart will expand; your skills will multiply. July solidifies a deal. There’s a renovation of sorts in September. New habits will take hold that are linked to an expansion of your social circle. A debt will be paid in December -- cause to celebrate! COPYRIGHT 2017 CREATORS.COM

SPORTS

BY JENNIFER FAUCI

JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

emorial Day is the unofficial start of summer. It’s also time to break out the lawn games that make barbecues and outdoor parties twice as fun. While there are the classic favorites like ring toss, horseshoes and croquet, modern games have taken over the grass in recent years. Check out our list for must-play lawn games this summer.

Cornhole Everyone loves a good game of cornhole. The simple game involves two raised ramps with a hole at the end set up on opposite sides of each other. Each player/team (can play in singles or doubles), receives a set of colored bean bags and the first to get 21 points wins. As for scoring, a bag in the hole scores three points, while one that lands on the platform scores one point.

Bocce Ball Originating in Rome, bocce is a ball sport extremely popular in Europe. Traditionally played on soil or asphalt courts, the game can be played between two people or teams of two, three or four. The match begins when one side throws the smaller ball called the jack, from one end of the court into a zone 16 feet from the far end of the court. If the first team misses twice, the other team is awarded the opportunity to place the jack wherever they choose within the zone. Colored balls are rolled, tossed or bounced, knocked around within the boundary line. Games are played to 16 points.

Ladder Toss A lawn game played by throwing two balls connected by a string, or bolas, onto a ladder, ladder toss (also called Ladder Golf by some companies), is reminiscent of the days when teenage punks would throw a pair of sneakers over telephone wires. Illustrating the same technique, equipment includes two ladders and a set of three bolas per team. Each ladder has three rungs, each with a different point value.

Spellbinding Fun At PotterCon BY BETSY ABRAHAM

Costumes are encouraged, with the best ones eligible for a costume contest.

or those of us still waiting for our letter from Hogwarts, a day at PotterCon is the next best thing. The Harry Potter-themed event takes over the Paramount in Huntington on June 11, bringing together hundreds of muggles, wizards and magical creatures for a day of Potter-mania. PotterCon founder Margaret Kaminski conjured up the idea for the Potter-centric event in the summer of 2013. What began as a party for 10 friends in a Brooklyn bar has transfigured into an annual event that attracts thousands of Potter fans nationwide. For some, PotterCon is a way to relive the magic of Harry Potter with like-minded muggles, for others, it’s an excuse to dress up in robes and day drink. The event is akin to a Hogwarts reunion, where everyone— from the school’s ghosts, rabblerousers and star students—have been invited. Attendees come in their best Potter garb, dressed as everyone from the Boy Who Lived, to Sirius Black,

to Dolores Umbridge. Wizards and elves knock back Butterbeers and Skele-Gro at the bar, while on stage,

THURSDAY, JUNE 15 8PM

Potterheads can test their knowledge during a trivia contest. PotterCon’s stage show also includes a live Sorting Ceremony, where would-be wizards try on the Sorting Hat and find out if they’re a brave Gryffindor, hardworking Hufflepuff, intelligent Ravenclaw or cunning Slytherin. Other activities include a photobooth, fortune telling stations and custom Harry Potterthemed merchandise. Whether you’re a Potter die-hard who can name every Death Eater or just enjoy a good time, PotterCon promises more fun than a trip to the Leaky Cauldron. PotterCon apparates at the Paramount on June 11 from 2 to 8 p.m. Find out more by flick-andswishing your wand over to www.potterconusa.com.
