Westbury Talents Shine At Star Search

Local students win big at annual Salvation Army regional contest

ANTON MEDIA GROUP STAFF

editors@antonmediagroup.com

In June, hundreds of grade school- to high school-aged students competed in The Salvation Army’s Salvationist Star Search regional music and creative arts talent contest in June, including dozens from Westbury.

Students from 12 states and Puerto Rico gathered in Hershey, PA in Star Search’s eastern division to take top spot in dance solo, guitar solo, brass solo, drum solo, piano solo, vocal solo, drama monologue, youth bands, youth chorus, singing company, timbrel brigade, dance troupe, and/or drama troupe. After “months of practice and perseverance,” organizers said, all participating student performers were excited to travel to Hershey and bring home their trophies.

The event is held annually for student members of the Salvation Army, USA Eastern Territory by the organization’s USA East Music Department.

Westbury youth performers took home plenty of trophies for their efforts, including the following titles for Westbury Salvation Army Corps members and groups:

• Level 1 Brass Solo, 1st Place: Junior Lubin, Jr.

• Level 3 Brass Solo, 2nd Place: James Elmonus

• Level 4 Brass Solo, 1st Place: James Dorce

• Level 1 Drum Set, 1st Place: Berthon Sainteme

• Level 2 Snare Drum, 1st Place: Petshley Louissaint

• Level 4 Vocal Solo, 2nd Place: James Dorce

According to the Salvation Army, the international Christian organization is the largest provider of free or reduced-cost music and creative arts instruction for students of all ages, outside of public schools. The organization’s Territorial Music Department exists “to encourage and inspire musicians to advance the global mission of The Salvation Army using every musical opportunity to reach people with the intention of meeting their spiritual and physical needs,” according to the USA East Music Department (USA EMD) website.

The role of the department is “to assist the people of this territory by intentionally developing leaders, resourcing musicians of all kinds, creating new initiatives and inspiring generations of musicians in The Salvation Army.” The goal, the group notes, “is that we would have live music present at every corps, Kroc Center and ARC in the territory and creature a culture of making disciples through our music ministries.”

Tulum Tacos And Tequila Opens In Mineola

The Mineola Chamber of Commerce had a great time at the ribbon cutting for Tulum Tacos and Tequila located at 230 Jericho Turnpike. Chamber board members, elected officials and representatives from the village, town, county, and state, were there to welcome Nicolas Geeraerts to Mineola. The ceremony was followed by samplings from their delicious menu. When you go, I hear that the Spicy Margarita is something you must try!

Lakeville Estates Civic Association Welcomes State Senator Jack Martins

CHRIS SHROYER

editors@antonmediagroup.com

Bill Cutrone and the board members of the Lakeville Estates Civic Association recently welcomed State Senator Jack Martins to speak at the Manhasset-Lakeville Firehouse in New Hyde Park. Martins, the former eight-year Mayor of the Village of Mineola, has been servin State Senator since January 2011.

While touching on an abundance of topics, Senator Martins was adamant when addressing the potential municipalization of the Long Island Power Authority. Founded in 1985, LIPA owns the electric transmission and distribution system which serves all of Long Island and extends to the Rockaways. LIPA released a municipalization statement

explaining their position regarding the potential change.

“After a past riddled with mismanagement and failure after failure for Long Island communities, now is our moment to reimagine LIPA, end corporate control and abuse of our energy systems, and realize the benefits of public power and full municipalization: real accountability, reliable service, affordable power, and a commitment to our transition off harm fossil fuels.”

As this problem has been on the plate for quite some time, hearings have and are bein held regarding potential legislation and the production of a specific report. However, with the report being delayed, the prominent hearings and decision deadline has been postponed to November. Martins expressed to the civic association to “get concerned” about their cost of energy, and not have to worry whether the lights will be on or not.

Floral Park Conservation Society Garden Party

On June 23, the first official Friday of summer, residents kicked off the season at Floral Park’s award-winning Centennial Gardens with a fundraiser benefitting the Floral Park Centennial Gardens and Bird Sanctuary.

The event featured live music, adult beverages, bring-your-own-picnic baskets, and great community camaraderie on the longest Friday of the year.

Congestion pricing was another topic of discussion State Senator Martins insistently touched upon. As soon as April 2024, New York City could be charging E-ZPass motorists driving south of 60th street as much as $23 to access that area of Manhattan. The goal of this plan is to reduce gridlock traffic in the city by promoting commuting via mass-transit. Supporters of this bill say that these changes will reduce traffic in Manhattan by more than 100,000 vehicles a day. Janno Liber, the MTA’S chief executive officer, said during a May media briefing that “congestion pricing means less traffic, cleaner air, safer streets, and better transit.” Martins conveyed an unfair nature to this bill while addressing LECA members. He asked the question, “Why 60th street?” When no one could answer, he explained to the Long Islanders that the northernmost accessible, free bridge into Manhattan coming from Long Island is the

59th Street bridge, or Queensboro Bridge. As such, this bill could also be targeting people driving into the city from Long Island, he said.

After Martins spoke to the group for an hour, the floor was open for a Q&A from members who submitted their inquiries prior to the meeting. One resident expressed their concern regarding the potential new housing bill proposed by Governor Hochul. The bill proposes local towns to increase the housing capacity by three percent over three years or have heir ability to reject development projects revoked. The Governor also added that New York suburbs with transit hubs, which includes a large portion of Long Island, to be required density as high as 50 units per acre in a half-mile radius of the station. Although that bill appears to be dead, a sense of unease nevertheless remains on Long Island.

MINEOLA MEMORIES

The Chase

BY JACK GARLAND

Of all my Mineola memories, I will have to admit that I did not experience this one first hand. I wish I could have been there, but I had heard the story so often that it seems like I was actually present.

At the time, the pastor of Corpus Christi Church was Monsignor Edmund Fitzgerald. I would surmise that many of the parishioners viewed him according to the image he projected from the pulpit: that of a serious, frugal, conservative, strictly-business type of individual. However, we were fortunate to be acquainted with the other side of his personality and we considered him to be a friend of the family as well as our pastor. When he would come over to visit a couple of times a year, he would “loosen up” and entertain us for hours with fascinating stories

and hilarious jokes. The family members disregarded protocol and usually referred to him as “Father Fitz.”

On one particular occasion, he requested that my father see him at the rectory regarding some sort of church business. Dad was a member of the Holy Name Society and this brief discussion probably had something to do with a raffle, a future event, or whatever.

In those days, the rectory was a stately old house on the east side of Willis Avenue, exactly opposite the end (or, if you prefer, the beginning) of Garfield Avenue. The property was enclosed with a chain-link “Cyclone” fence. A gate located right at the sidewalk opened up to a winding walkway that was lined with hedges and led up to a large front porch.

Bright Lights, Loud Noises In Carle Place

FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

The MTA announced that the LIRR Expansion Project has been completed and all the outstanding issues have been settled.

Residents of Garden Avenue in Carle Place, adjoining the railroad station, beg to differ.

The hamlet has the most private residences adjacent to and affected by station operations in the expansion area. Garden Avenue homeowners said the changes have diminished their quality of life.

Forty-year Craig Hymanson said if he knew then what he knows now, he never would have bought his home, whose backyard abuts the station property.

Joanne Bordieri said her second bout with breast cancer has been made harder by what she sees as unresolved issues over the project. She moved to her house in 1979.

Maria Pasquarella pointed out that people climbing the stairs to the eastbound platform can peer into the backyard and even inside

the rental house she owns.

Nadine Figueroa and her son Robert have witnessed criminals in action and have cell phone videos to prove it.

All have lived on the street for decades and could speak to the dramatic changes they have experienced. They affirmed that they have repeatedly asked MTA/LIRR representatives, the “community ambassadors” put in place to interact between the MTA/contractors and locals, and even their elected officials to help fix the problems. They have not gotten satisfaction.

Hymanson pointed out the security cameras on the platform with 360-degree views. After complaints, the MTA put up plywood (since replaced by aluminum) blocks to partially obscure the views. Hymanson said he believes these modifications did not fully solve the privacy problem.

The platform wall—at 4 feet—is too short, they said. In a document, the MTA stated that these were noise attenuation walls running along the length of the project. Neighbors had asked for a higher wall to provide more privacy and block the lights and security cameras.

Hymanson and Bordieri said that before the station renovation, noise was a minor nuisance, thanks to tall trees and thick foliage in the right of way. The platform speakers are too numerous and too loud, they claim.

Bordieri said that when the platform lights were first turned on, she called then community ambassador Margo Cargill, who told her that she had gotten many calls complaining about the brightness. Though they were dimmed, they still shine right into her bedroom window, she said, and contribute to her discomfort.

Robert Figueroa said that last fall, “Somebody came down the street with a bag full of tools and they were trying to saw off my dad’s muffler. I went outside and they took off and ran.”

He added, “I have footage I was showing my dad of someone [checking out] my car. It’s unfortunate, but it’s what’s going on.” Hymanson said, “We knew what we would have when we bought the house. But we didn’t know they were going to have speakers. We didn’t know they were going to have cameras looking right into our backyards. You have no privacy. This is where we live. This

is what we deal with.”

He added, “These are very easy fixes. We pay so much money to live here. You come home and you can’t sit in your backyard.”

Bordieri said, “This is the only station with a houses that are so close to it and they did not accommodate us.”

MTA spokesperson Joana Flores, in a statement, said, “The railroad always seeks to be a good neighbor and welcomes feedback from the communities it serves. The Third

Track Project modernized five stations, upgraded seven bridges, and eliminated eight railroad crossings, all of which significantly improved service reliability and public safety, benefiting hundreds of thousands of people for decades to come. The third track was key in boosting LIRR service at Carle Place by 90 percent and creating true bi-directional service for the first time—a win for the local economy.”

Wearable Craft Project

Tie dyeing is a fun activity for getting messy outside, and the best part is wearing your creations once they’re done. Did you know tie dye goes back thousands of years?!

People in Peru, China, Japan, and India all have a form of tie dyeing. You can do this easy project with things you probably already have at home: a white piece of fabric, rubber bands, vinegar, water and food coloring. (You can wear gloves and an apron to stay a bit cleaner, but remember: dye is meant to be permanent!) While your results won’t be as vibrant as they would with fabric dye, this method is a fun way to get started.

Here are the steps:

1. Mix half water and half vinegar in a container and get your fabric wet.

2. Wring out the fabWric so it’s just damp.

3. Follow the diagram for the design you’d like to make: accordion, crinkle or starburst.

4. Put rubber bands to hold your design

in place.

5. Squirt your color! Make sure you get both sides.

6. Place in a sealed bag and leave in a sunny spot.

7. Rinse after 24 hours for best results. And that’s it! Send us a picture of your best dyes for a future kids page.

According to the African Wildlife Foundation, aardvarks are in the same group as the African elephants, and they have no relationship to anteaters despite their appearance. Currently, their biggest threats are being hunted by humans, and losing their habitats to development. Even through their challenges, aardvarks love to dig! This helps them hide from predators, and provides a great spot to sleep. When they sleep, they block the entrance to their burrow, leave a very small opening and roll into a curl. But, aardvarks like to mix it up a little bit by burrowing new holes, which actually comes in handy for fellow animals who makes use of the holes. Aardvarks also prefer to be alone, and don‛t make many friends.

And do you know what‛s the aardvark‛s favorite food?

For Independence Day, Dive Into Our History

Explore Long Island’s contribution to the American Revolution

Long Island played a key strategic role in our nation’s fight for independence from Britain. Its location- New York City and the Hudson at one end and New England at the other- made it especially desirable for the British. According to battlefields.org, “New York played a pivotal role throughout the American Revolution, particularly early on. Its central position in the American Colonies and its port made it vital to commerce and a key strategic location. After compelling the British evacuation of Boston in the early months of 1776, General George Washington accurately guessed that the Redcoats’ next target would be New York City. Washington transferred his Continental Army to the city in April and May, hoping to turn back or at least severely cripple the next wave of British invaders.”

Unfortunately for Washington, his hopes to fortify New York and drive Britain out of New York were dashed. New York played host to the first battle after independence was declared, the Battle of Long Island or the Battle of Brooklyn. Crucial errors, such as splitting his forces between Brooklyn and Manhattan and failing to secure Jamaica Pass, as well as mistakenly thinking the attack on Brooklyn was a diversion from a main attack on Manhattan, proved fatal. Loyalists tipped off the British to the fault at Jamaica and they moved an advance force there. The rest of the Brits marched on the Americans directly. The patriots were pushed back to Brooklyn Heights with the East River to their backs. The British prepared for a siege, but Washington and his soldiers were able to escape via the river overnight without losing a single life.

After the Battle of Brooklyn, Long Island was occupied by Britain for the remainder of the war. “The British ravaged the countryside, destroyed the forest for firewood, stole livestock,

controlled all movement over roads, and seized all public buildings including the Old Quaker Meeting House which was used as a prison, a hospital and a storehouse,” according to PBS. Citizens were forced to put up soldiers in their homes and impressed into service. The town of Huntington served as the British headquarters. Much like the rest of the former colonies, there were patriots and loyalists mixed throughout Long Island’s communities. Those who were not loyal to England often found ways to disrupt and subvert British authority.

Long Island’s other most famous contribution is the Culper Spy Ring, a group that is commemorated every year with a festival in Setauket. Named for the small Virginia community where Washington had worked as a young man, the espionage ring gathered intelligence throughout New York City and

Long Island. The knowledge of the British plans, their unit’s strengths and weaknesses and where they had set their defenses, helped Washington keep the enemy contained in New York. Several members were arrested during the war, but none were ever exposed as spies. The spy ring was virtually unknown publically before 1929, when letters revealing its existence were found. Some of the Culper’s most notable achievements were thwarting a British conterfeiting ring aimed at devaluing the infant nation’s currency, foiling the ambush of arriving French soldiers as they landed in Rhode Island, and obtaining the British Naval codes, allowing the French to defeat the British fleet at the Battle of Chesapeake. The group used coded messages and invisible ink to protect their correspondence.

There are many places that commemorate the Revolutionary War across Long Island, Brooklyn and Queens. While not exhaustive, this list is a great start:

BROOKLYN

Prospect Park

This park includes the Dongan Oak Monument, which honors the tree cut down by American forces to stall the British advance and the Lefferts Historic House, an old Dutch farmhouse where visitors of all ages can experience daily life in the 18th century.

The Old Stone House

The site where the Maryland 400 attacked the British position to cover Washington’s retreat, at great cost to themselves.

Fort Greene Park

The site of the Prison Ship Martyr’s Monument, set up in memory of the thousands of men and women held and left to languish aboard British prison ships. Those who died aboard these ships are perhaps the single largest collection of casualties from the

entire war.

NASSAU

Raynham Hall Museum

Historic home in Oyster Bay that was the home of the Townsend family, one of the founding families of Oyster Bay. The Townsends were members of the the Culper Spy Ring.

Rock Hall Museum

Historic home in Hempstead that was the home of the Martin family, who were loyalists. The home was occupied by American soldiers during the revolution, and their eldest son Samuel was imprisoned in Philadelphia for his assocations with loyalists.

SUFFOLK

Sagtikos Manor

Located in Bay Shore, the manor was built in 1697. British forces occupied the Manor briefly during the Revolutionary War. President George Washington stayed here during his tour of Long Island in 1790.

Brewster House

The Brewster House of Setauket has a history which dates back to 1665. The house was home to six generations of Brewsters. During the Revolutionary War, Joseph Brewster served on the Committee of Safety and also entertained British troops who were stationed in the area at a tavern he opened in the house.

When the nonprofit Canine Companions requested a free energy assessment, we discovered that installing LED fixtures and other energy efficiency measures could save them nearly $2,000 a month. And with available PSEG Long Island rebates, the installation was affordable. Today, those changes have meant more funds for the mission of providing service dogs to Long Islanders with disabilities. And that means a better Long Island for us all.

A Prayer For Resurrection: The World of Isaac Bashevis Singer

Review of: Old Truths and New Clinches: Essays by Isaac Bashevis Singer.

JOSEPH SCOTCHIE

jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

The critic Joseph Epstein liked to tell the story of an acquaintance who wanted something good to read while on a vacation. Epstein handed this young woman a book of stories by Isaac Bashevis Singer. The woman read and enjoyed the stories, while asking Epstein: “What century was this man born in?”

Epstein has been a prolific critic of American fiction. If he places Singer at the top of the list, it’s worth listening to. Now Singer, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1978, has had an essay collection released over 30 years after his death at age 87 in 1991.

I, too, have always considered Singer to be one of the postwar era’s top short story writers, standing with Flannery O’Connor and John Cheever in mastering that most challenging of all literary genres. As with most fiction writers, Singer makes non-fiction look easy: His 1981 memoir, Lost In America is entertaining, adventurous, and bewildered: An exile who accepts his fate with good cheer.

My favorite in this collection is a satire of an imaginary release of The Ten Commandments and the response by an

FRANK RIZZO

array of critics. Singer lets modern culture speak for itself. First, a critic from a labor newspaper:

While organized labor struggles with conservative big business for a four-day work week, Mr. Moses urges the working classes to toil six days and rest only on the Sabbath. We strongly recommend that our brothers in organized labor refute this swan song of NAM reaction.

Then, the gossip columnist: It’s a common talk around Broadway that the holier-than-thou Mr. Moses, of the best-selling Ten Commandments, is leaving his wife, Zipporah, home in the tents these nights to cavort with his Ethiopian cutie…The playboy’s sister, Miriam, is so upset that she ha broken out in a rash all over her body…The Hip Set also hears that Moses is grooming his brother, Aaron, for the priesthood…

Finally, a small-town newspaper editor checks in: So far as my understanding of the Ten Commandments extends, they re designed to be carried out, not simply to serve as a literary essay and...from that standpoint, they are quite okay. If humanity would literally adhere to them, the world would become a paradise. But Mr. Moses is naïve if he expects the world to take his commandments seriously. They will be read

and forgotten, unless Hollywood decides to make them into a movie… Fiction writers are born, not made. A Flannery O’Connor or Isaac Singer possessed storytelling gifts the average creative writing student lacks. For Singer, there were contours into harnessing and fulfilling those talents. Humility is needed. A writer needs to believe in God. He needs to believe in the existence in evil. Singer’s view is similar to Norman Mailer’s, also expressed on these pages. As Jews, both Mailer and Singer had to confront (and bear) the enormities of the twentieth century. They had no choice. Such enormities concentrates the mind on that eternal conflict. As a native of the rural South, O’Connor also had to bear history’s burden. She, too, was a believer. This is why Jews and Southerners, as Robert Penn Warren observed, dominated 20th-century American letters. A writer must entertain, tell a simple story and above all, avoid cynicism. Too much can be gained from this world for a writer to dismiss the human experience with black humor. A writer must be a bard for his own people. He must be rooted in a particular place and time. A writer must reject a self-pitying alienation. He must share the fate of those same people. Above all, the writer must say yes to

elements, Mila crafted Fugitive in Paradise, his sixth novel in the Terry and Joe Manetta thriller series.

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

A specimen that at one point he thought was a human jawbone, found on a beach in North Carolina, was the spark for Paul Mila’s latest fictional effort.

(Spoiler alert: It turned out to be a more prosaic item. But fiction writers don’t have to conform to reality.)

That, and seeing a “Private Property” sign on a stretch of pristine, previously public tropical beach. Or meeting a retired U.S. Marshal who had been a part of the Witness Protection Program. And knowing a former federal prosecutor who started out as an advisor on the gangster classic Goodfellas, but was invited to play himself because he was out of “central casting.” From all these

The Carle Place resident parlayed his knowledge of diving, underwater photography and the island of Cozumel, off the east coast of Mexico, into a series of fiction, non-fiction and children’s books.

The book concerns a Mafia accountant who steals millions, enters the Witness Protection Program and escapes the feds’ embrace. He winds up in Cozumel under a new identity, joining other mobsters in backing a casino development the Manettas are trying to stop. They discover that the resort will destroy a Mayan burial ground as well as a sea turtle nesting area on a stretch of unspoiled beach. Can the heroes stop the ruthless mafiosi and their bought politicians? That’s the crux of the story.

The Manettas are based on actual people Mila knows, and in fact, his books are

peopled by characters based on friends. The former prosecutor is Ed McDonald and in the book he deals with the wayward mob accountant turned federal witness. Carle Place resident (and the hamlet’s unofficial historian) Bob Greco makes an appearance as well, playing his actual occupation—attorney. Under an assumed name, of course.

In 2002, months after witnessing the horrific events of September 11 from a skyscraper in Queens, Mila decided to make the most of his remaining life. He retired to start a second career plying the oceans, championing the causes of the giant sea turtles and the environment. As he likes to joke, he traded his banker’s suit for a wetsuit.

Mila began his writing career with two non-fiction books, Bubbles Up: Adventures in the Panet Ocean, and Basic Underwater Photography. He said he always loved writing and wanted to pen a novel one day. “The transition from non-fiction to fiction is not

truth and beauty, say yes to resurrection. Believe in the power of language now used to uplift and inspire. Singer provides an example, the fruits of his work and countless others:

The Jewish people appears to be an exception among peoples…In the long history of our people, we have had our country for only a relatively short time. We used to and continue to live in many different lands, just as we have spoken and still speak innumerable languages. Thousands of mighty states have perished since our history began. Many languages and cultures have been forgotten. But we continue to live and show the power of resurrection. Only now, after two thousand years, have we begun to build up our ancient land. We have revived the Hebrew language, which for two thousand years was considered dead. We brought Aramaic with us into the Diaspora, a language which is spoken by no one today, and which has survived at all because of us.

an easy one,” he agreed. “I found non-fiction to be relatively easy as long as you were writing about a topic in which you were an expert. The challenge was to make it interesting and readable. But fiction writing requires a lot more...You have to worry about character development, pacing, and making sure the story arc makes sense and is interesting. After I finish a novel I feel drained, like my mental plug has been pulled.”

Saving for College: What You Need to Know

College is expensive. Costs can include tuition, books, room and board, and travel. In many cases, the price tag of a four-year degree can exceed six gures. While actual costs will depend on the selected school, many families rely on a combination of savings, loans, grants and scholarships to pay the tab. Whichever sources of funding you choose, there are important considerations to keep in mind as you plan for the expense of higher learning. Here are a few.

Time is your friend. The sooner you start saving for any long-term goal, the better. Save when your child is young to give your education nest egg time to grow. There are a range of tools available to help you save for future college expenses.1

• The 529 plan is specially designed to pay for higher education costs. Contributions to the 529 plan are made on an aftertax basis and grow tax free; these contributions may be eligible for a state income tax deduction or tax credit. The principal portion of a 529 plan distribution isn’t subject to federal taxes. Additionally, the earnings portion of a 529 plan

distribution isn’t subject to federal taxes, and in most cases, state taxes, as long as the distribution is used for the bene ciary’s eligible K-12 and postsecondary education expenses including tuition, books, and room and board when the bene ciary begins their studies.

• A Coverdell Education Savings Account also offers tax-advantaged saving. Income eligibility and contribution levels are lower than a 529 plan.

• U.S. savings bonds are low-risk investments that provide modest returns with limited tax bene ts.

• A custodial UGMA/UTMA account enables unlimited investing on behalf of a minor. Assets in the account can be used for anything. Earnings may be subject to taxes, and parents lose control of the account when the child reaches maturity.

• Another way to save on college costs is through a pre-paid tuition plan, which locks in tuition at current rates and is available for a short list of state schools. You can fund the plan with installment payments. A longer list of private schools offers pre-paid tuition through a Private College 529 Plan.

• You can also save for future college expenses in a regular

savings account or Individual Retirement Account (IRA)

A note about FAFSA. Your expected family contribution (EFC) is calculated when you apply to the Free Application for Financial Student Aid (FAFSA®). Your EFC reduces the amount of eligible federal funding your student can receive. If you are unable to meet your EFC, you or your student may need to look to other sources of funding to ll the gap.

Students can contribute, too. Young adults who carry some of the nancial burden of their degree may be more prudent about their college choice. They might be more motivated to start out at a community college or live at home and work part-time while attending college if it means taking on less debt.

Your future comes first. Most nancial experts recommend that parents put their retirement goals ahead of their children’s college costs. Students have a lifetime ahead of them to pay back school loans. Consult a quali ed nancial advisor who can help you create a nancial plan designed to meet your family priorities.

Mulberries have been an important part of our family’s history. As a child, I remember a tree that we had in our backyard. It made a terrific mess, but when the berries ripened, their sweetness lingered on the tongue and filled our bellies. I recall a mulberry pie, made by either my mother or grandmother, which was even more delicious than my favorite of all time, blueberry pie.

Years passed quickly and Dad eventually removed the mulberry tree. It wasn’t until I began dating my husband, years later, that I got to experience the fruity deliciousness and sweetness of berries that heralded the beginning of summertime.

My husband’s family had a white mulberry tree in their backyard, which didn’t leave as much of a mess as the purple/ black variety. I made mulberry pies, mulberry tarts and even reduced the berries into a syrup that was fabulous over French vanilla ice cream. Personally, I enjoyed those little treats from nature right off the tree and often ruined my appetite with berries before dinnertime.

When my daughter was old enough to understand, I began to take her for walks in the neighborhood. We found a few mulberry trees across from the industrial park and even more bushes that lined Northern State Parkway in a Syosset development. I would fill the front of her stroller with deep

purple and off-white fruits, and we would continue our walk. By the time we got home, her lips, cheeks and hands were stained with a brilliant violet hue. As she got older, we began to walk together up to Birchwood Park Drive, where we found a tree in the neighborhood park. We would eat our fill and head over to the playground for some fun on the slide. Carefree days, indeed. And so, the mulberry picking tradition began. Each June, we would walk up to the park or drive over to that Syosset neighborhood to pick from the bushes behind the fence along the Northern State. One year, our daughter had the brilliant idea that she wanted to pick while sitting on the roof of my husband’s Ford Explorer. The vehicle had a sunroof, out of which she deftly climbed. We picked four Tupperware containers filled with fruit, which were gone within a week’s time.

Over time, my daughter and I found several different areas where those deliciously sweet kernels of summer grew wild. We would pick enough berries to fill our plastic buckets, but most of the time was spent filling our cheeks with the syrupy goodness. We always knew the drupelets had ripened by the purple stains of bird droppings in the neighborhood.

Several years ago, I created a mulberry jelly that I shared with a neighbor. It was scrumptious and didn’t last very long in the fridge, not because it went bad but because it tasted so good. It found its way to homemade scones, toast and even a sneaky spoonful or two (using clean utensils each time, of course!). We have looked forward to berry picking almost as much as we look forward to the beginning of beach weather.

For those who enjoy interesting facts as much as Sheldon Lee Cooper of “The Big Bang Theory”, mulberries grow on the Morus tree, which is a flowering plant. The three best known fruit colors are Morus alba (white), Morus rubra (red) and Morus nigra (the black or deep purple mulberry). Silkworms love to make their homes in white mulberry trees. Mulberries are not related to raspberries or blackberries, but are more closely related to jackfruit and figs. These little powerhouses are high in Vitamin C; a little over three ounces of fruit is about 43

calories and has about 14% of the Daily Value for iron. They can be used to create pies, tarts, wines, cordials, and even herbal teas. When our daughter moved out, my husband and I asked her one Father’s Day if she would care to join us at a new site that we had found for berry picking. She agreed, and we each filled a large Tupperware container with the fruit in less than thirty minutes. Bees didn’t deter us from foraging those delicious treats. The new tradition of taking photographs of our stained hands and shoes as proof that we had enjoyed the task of berry picking together as a family became one that we enjoyed, especially as we scrubbed our hands with wet wipes before re-entering our vehicle.

We are expecting heavy rains and wind over the next week, which has made me incredibly anxious about our 2023 harvest. Our daughter agreed to accompany us to a few sites when her school year is out. In case the wind blows down much of the fruit from the trees, it’s my intention to head over to Birchwood Park to fill another Tupperware with fruit and take a picture of my stained fingers. I’ll pick fruit again with our daughter if the trees still hold berries. The photo is important, as it will live on long after the deliciousness of the berries has faded into memory. Happy Summer and Happy Mulberry Season!

Looking At Shorebirds And Terns

Long Island, with its miles of beaches on the Atlantic Ocean front, Long Island Sound and numerous bays, is a great place to observe and practice identifying shorebirds and terns. I often do shorebird surveys at Jones Beach West End 2, and the adjacent Coast Guard station has a sand spit that is excellent at low and middle tide. The best time to go is not during the weekend when crowds scare away the birds. If you go on the weekend, go early. Sunrise is before 6AM. Shorebird surveys stop from June 15 until July 15 so as not to bother breeding birds. If you buy a NY State Empire Pass each year you avoid the entry fee of $10.

At the sand spit and West End 2 you are likely to see a wide variety of shore birds and terns. Right now the breeding birds are around such as piping plover, oystercatchers, common, least and Forster’s terns, killdeer, black skimmers and Eastern willet. By the beginning of August migrating birds start appearing such as sanderlings, dunlin, semi-palmated and least sandpipers, black-bellied and semi-palmated plovers, ruddy turnstones and greater and lesser yellow legs, short-billed dowitcher and whiterumped sandpiper. Other less frequent terns are royal and Caspian. Purple sandpipers show up in December through sometimes April on the rocky point where Jones Beach inlet and West End 2 beach meet. Fairly rare shorebirds or terns show up and that causes a great stir when reported by someone in the birding community.

Nickerson Beach, which is owned by Nassau County, is one of the best places anywhere to see many different shorebirds and terns. If you go before 9 am you can enter free and that is the best time anyway to see the birds. You can see immature shorebirds and terns easily there. Very close on Long Beach, as well, is Lido Beach Passive Nature Area, which is an excellent saltwater marsh on the bay side. Another South Shore great spot is Oceanside Marine Nature Center. Merrick Road has ponds to explore as well.

On the Nassau County North Shore there are a few beaches from which the public can access Long Island Sound. The Sands Point Preserve beach gives you access to Prospect Point, which is about a half mile walk north where the Sound and Hempstead Harbor meet. There you will see piping plover, oyster catchers, and least terns. You have to go at low tide to get access walking along the beach. There is also a salt marsh where you can see great and snowy egrets and great blue and black-crowned night herons.

At the Sands Point Preserve pond a resident green heron stalks prey and solitary and spotted sandpipers make an appearance usually during Spring or Fall migration. Look carefully along the pond borders to see the green heron with its bright orange legs.

I also recommend Leeds Pond Preserve in Plandome Manor, St. John’s pond in Cold Spring Harbor, Caumsett State Park in Lloyd Harbor, Stehli Beach and Marsh in Bayville, Welwyn Preserve and Garvies Point Museum

ALL ABOUT BIRDS

and Preserve in Glen Cove and Udal’s Cove in Great Neck. In nearby Queens, Jamaica Bay East Pond is fantastic starting the middle of August and has a birding festival with experts to help you identify birds.

To identify birds you can use Ebird, an app you can download free or you can buy an app such as Sibley V2. I find that taking a photo of a mystery bird and emailing it to a good birder is one of the best ways to identify shorebirds, which can be very challenging especially starting in August when their breeding plumage becomes drab. Going on bird walks with experts who lead walks for the Audubon Societies and Queens County bird club is immeasurably helpful. Check their walk schedules on their websites.

Peter Frampton Is Living His Best Life

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

To paraphrase Mark Twain, rumors of Peter Frampton’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. Of course, it may have to do with the fact that the Grammy Award-winning artist embarked on a 2019 string of dates dubbed Peter Frampton Finale—The Farewell Tour, a decision based on the fact that he had been diagnosed with the autoimmune disease Inclusion Body Myositis (IBM), a progressive muscle disorder characterized by muscle inflammation, weakness and atrophy. And while he embarked on a 50-date run to put a neat bow on the live performance aspect of his career, the pandemic came along and put a screeching halt to that particular tour. Two-and-ahalf years later, Frampton was obligated to play in London and a conversation he had with a random medical professional had him re-thinking the idea of premature retirement.

“I had the Royal Albert Hall gig in front of me and I didn’t think I could do it,” he recalled. “My hands were changing and then there was a stranger I met who is a doctor and I told him I wasn’t sure I could do this European thing and he said to do it. He said people wanted to see me. I’d not thought of it like that. I just thought of it from my own perspective that I had said before the Finale Tour that I didn’t want to ever go out unless I was at the top of my game. Well. I lied,” he said with a laugh before adding. “You get to a certain position where I was really enjoying my playing. While I couldn’t do this bit anymore, as the old jazzers used to say, ‘We just adapt as we get into our sixties and seventies.’ I’m adapting and that was the reason that I decided to do the European tour last November. Then we came back and did one

show for an invited audience—Sky Arts UK. They wanted a show and we did that.”

According to the guitarist’s 2020 autobiography, Do You Feel Like I Do?: A Memoir, Frampton first started noticing IBM symptoms as early as 2013. What started out as him constantly falling on his knees while trying to play Frisbee backstage with his crew and band during that year’s summer tour found him getting diagnosed by a neurologist in 2015. A regimen of physical therapy and regular medical visits have found him learning to navigate this new reality.

“I’m feeling very good and am very lucky. In as much as a lot of diseases go, this one can be rapid progression or any speed of progression,” he said. “I am very lucky to be one of the people that has a very, very slow progression. Is it affecting me? It’s definitely affecting my legs and arms. But it’s just starting to affect my hands and my fingers.

Is it affecting my playing? I won’t lie—it is,” Frampton admitted before saying with a laugh. “But my fans say they can’t notice the difference, which worries me.”

With the extended break the pandemic created, Frampton had plenty of time to reflect about his past and future. He released 2021’s Frampton Forgets the Words, an all-instrumental outing that found him dipping into the canons of artists ranging from Sly & the Family Stone and Radiohead to David Bowie, Roxy Music and George Harrison. But for him, the idea of time slipping away, particularly given his health, gave the former child prodigy plenty to chew on during a time he likened to “…being on the road and waiting for the tour manager to come get you for sound check, but never having it happen—for two-and-a-half years.”

“For me, [the lockdown] was frustrating,” he said. “We all have a life clock that we live by. We don’t know how long that is. I have my IBM clock, which is going faster than my life clock. So therefore, I just got incredibly worried that I wouldn’t be able to play and continue. Everyone said it was going to be over in six months and I was the first one to say two years in my circle. It was two-anda-half years. I pretty well called that one. It was frustrating. But on the other hand, being alone and locked down, I’m lucky inasmuch as I have so much to keep me occupied with my music.”

With this unexpected gift of being able to play more live dates, Frampton is delighting in being able to dust off material he released after leaving Humble Pie.

“Being this is the bonus tour—one that I never thought was going to happen, let

alone my crew, we’re delving back into some early tracks off my early solo records, which have just been re-released on vinyl,” he said. “I’m pulling some songs from those albums. Obviously, the crowds will get what they want to see. But they’ll also get some tracks that I’ve never done, or haven’t done in eons. We will mix it up and hopefully will be changing it up from show to show.”

And while the 73-year-old rocker has his hands full with this bonus tour, he’s readying a sequel to 2019’s return-to-roots All Blues project. This forthcoming collection will find him featuring more acoustic blues. And there is also a project featuring brand-new material of which he’s polished off nine of a projected 14 cuts that he’s working on with a number of songwriting collaborators that he deigned not to name. With such a flurry of creativity going on as his IBM clock ticks down, Frampton is keeping with his own personal philosophy of not looking too far down the road.

“I live in the moment,” he said. “Rightly or wrongly, that’s how I’ve gotten through life. I never think too far ahead. For me personally, and not for everybody, when people went over the edge during COVID-19, I didn’t mind it so much as far as being locked down. I always stay in the moment and that’s it for me. [No sense] in thinking too far ahead. I’ve got enough to think about right now.”

Peter Frampton will be appearing on July 26 at The Paramount, 370 New York Ave., Huntington. For more information, visit www.theparamountny.com or call 631-673-7300.

In 2020, Swift became involved in a public dispute over purchasing the rights to her back catalog of music. Due to the situation, Swift began to re-record her catalog. She has released two re-recorded versions of older albums, Red and Fearless, and recently announced a third re-recorded album, Speak Now While Swift was already a global icon, the re-recording became somewhat of a Taylor Swift renaissance.

The Tour

Swift’s Eras Tour is taking place in stadiums nationwide, and each show is completely sold out. Swift plays for two to three nights in each city she visits.

During the pandemic, Swift released two albums, Folklore on July 24 and Evermore on Dec. 11, 2020. The Eras Tour can be seen as making up for lost time, playing songs from both her newer albums, older albums and her latest release, Midnights (2022). Swift has explored genres such as country, folk, alternative rock and pop. The Eras Tour, quite literally, takes fans on a trip through all of her iconic eras.

Swift performs incredible dance routines with backup dancers, a band, light shows, colorful visuals, and, of course, outfit changes. She performs in flowing floor-length dresses, colorful mini-dresses and sparkled leotards with glittering boots. Her tour is seen as less of a concert and more of a show, as she puts on theatrical and intricately planned performances.

In addition to a stunning show, Swift performs two surprise songs towards the end of each concert. Leading up to a show, fans post on social media to guess what their surprise songs will be. Usually, the songs are from earlier albums or newer album songs that didn’t make the setlist. The two songs come at the end of the show and are performed acoustically with only

Swift on stage. First, an acoustic guitar song, then an acoustic piano song. While the show is a stunning experience, the surprise songs are the perfect way to wrap up the night.

The Fans

Swift’s fans, known as Swifties, have taken concert preparations and fun to another level with The Eras Tour. Fans have been traveling to different cities and states to see Swift’s show; some fans who could not get tickets are even camping out in the parking lot to hang out with other fans and overhear the excitement inside the stadiums.

Swift’s iconic show fashion choices have inspired fans to get creative. For weeks leading up to a concert, fans take to Twitter, Instagram and TikTok to share outfit ideas and inspiration. Fans purchase cowboy boots and hats, crochet two-piece outfits, iron on Swift-themed decals to jeans, and sport glitter, feather or fringe dresses to her shows.

Furthermore, fan camaraderie has led to new traditions. Girls and boys, men and women of all ages are attending the tour and everyone is welcomed with open arms. Beaded friendship bracelets have become a staple at The Eras Tour. Fans spend countless hours before their show to make bracelets with colorful beads and lettered beads spelling out song names, album names and inside jokes between fans, such as Swift’s cats’ names. Every fan has wrists full of bracelets to trade and share with other fans. At the end of the night, fans leave with mismatched homemade bracelets made by their new friends.

Local Bands That Make You Want To Get Out And Dance

BY JENNIFER CORR jcorr@antonnews.com

The summer is a great time to go out to your local beach, gazebo, tiki bar, etc. to listen to a great, local band and dance. Listening to local bands, and dancing amid a crowd of all ages, is something I’ve been doing since I was 13. I have vivid memories of going to places like Dublin Deck in Patchogue or what is now Tiki Joe’s at Smiths Point Beach, with either my parents or my friends’ parents. And I never stopped. I’ll still party to this great live music with my family or my friends, and it’s always the best vibe.

Well, here are some local bands that are playing at venues near you, who play the perfect music to get up and dance to:

Outdoor Power Equipment Helps Weather A Storm

Summer storm season is here, but having the right outdoor power equipment on hand year-round is important. Think ahead before foul weather or a power outage disrupts life.

To get ready for inclement weather, homeowners should identify which equipment is needed. Chainsaws or pole saws can trim limbs and shrubs ahead of a storm and handle clearing. String trimmers, pruners and chainsaws can also remove combustible material from around your home, making it less vulnerable to wildfires.

A portable generator will power key appliances and charge cell phones when utilities go down. Before an outage, plan where the generator will be set up (never in a home or garage, and always away from your home and any air intake) and determine how to secure it if needed. Buy and install a carbon monoxide detector. Get outdoor-rated extension cords for portable generators and consider adding an approved cover for rainy weather.

stable and drive slowly. Do not turn mid-slope or while on a hill. Consider taking a safety course.

Always read the directions provided by manufacturers and be sure to follow all safety and usage recommendations before you need it—not waiting until an emergency. Practice how to operate equipment. Save a copy of the manual on your computer so it can be consulted in the future.

This spectacular split-level home at 62 Dianas Trail sold on June 14 for $1,510,000. It sits high amongst a wooded setting on a third of an acre within Roslyn Estates. This gem, with transitional interior design and a paragon of character, features five bedrooms and three full bathrooms. It has embodying sophistication and incredible flow. The home has a formal living room, a formal dining room, a gourmet kitchen, a family room with a fireplace, access to a back patio through sliding doors. The home has barn siding walls, a primary suite, and a three-bedroom wing with a full bathroom. The additional room could be a bedroom, office or home gym with a full bathroom on the lower level. The basement includes a play room/recreation room with a laundry room and pet bath area, as well as a workshop. The front porch is cozy and serene. The large backyard is great for entertaining.

Water pumps can help get water and muck out of basements and homes. Be sure you know how to operate the pump. Never pump substances that your equipment is not designed to cope with. Pay attention to avoid overheating and follow all safety precautions.

A utility vehicle can transport people and supplies quickly in an emergency. Keep the vehicle

Make sure to have the right fuel on hand and charge batteries ahead of an outage. Gasoline-powered equipment uses E10 or less fuel and most manufacturers recommend adding a fuel stabilizer. Fuel that is more than 30 days old may cause running problems, so it’s important to purchase fuel just ahead of a storm. Store fuel safely and only use an approved fuel container.

Do not operate power equipment when overly fatigued. Drink water and take breaks. Always use safety equipment like chaps, gloves, eye and hearing protection. —Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI)

New York Press Association Press Pass Program

To help newsrooms struggling with staff shortages, the New York Press Association this summer will begin offering training to community members interested in covering news for their local paper.

Ongoing business pressures, including drops in advertising and subscriber revenue as well as increases in production costs, have led to substantial reductions in staffing in most newsrooms across the country. But many editors say hiring reporters to fill existing openings has become increasingly difficult.

Supplementing existing coverage with

trained community correspondents will help newspapers fill gaps in existing coverage, especially in small towns. The training will give participants basic guidance to build upon on the job under the supervision of editors.

The four-part online program will focus on journalism basics such as ethics, accuracy in reporting, interviewing techniques and writing clearly. To earn certification, participants must complete all four sessions and pass a written test. The training is being offered free through NYPA’s member newspapers.

“We’re not aiming to replace traditional journalists with this program,” said Judy Patrick, the association’s vice president for editorial development. “We’re working to expand local news coverage and build on our indsutry’s longstanding tradition of community correspondents.”

The online training will be offered four times a year; the first sessions will be July 10-13. Registration is open through July 7 by contacting judy@nynewspapers.com.

Ring each word as you find it and when you have pleted the puzzle, there will be 19 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Not every relationship needs to follow the mold. Friendships connect in quirky ways these days, and love won’t stick to the standard de nitions at all. Just remember that people forge connections in diverse ways. Attempting to con ne those connections within prede ned rules can diminish their beauty and intrigue.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Socialites go to the pre-show to be photographed and seen. Professionals go to the event because they have to. All the real value to be had is at the after-party. is concept will apply to the events of the week, including fun that happens in the downtime. People relax and the connections are nally able to happen.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Generosity and charisma go together. When people give easily, it implies they have much to share. ere’s something mysterious and attractive about the unknown limit. To give less freely is to indicate the outer edge, revealing the shape of reality. is week, you’ll tap into the thing you have a lot of and contribute muni cently.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You could take your day in the direction of your routine, though you are not obligated to do so. What if you instead did the thing you are passionate about? is week, you’ll name your passions, or discover them by following the thing that shows glimmers of potential. e search will be well worthwhile. Hard tasks seem e ortless when love does the work.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). e reasons to call things “good enough” are valid. Time is a factor. You don’t want to overwork things. You can’t a ord to get caught by the tyranny of perfectionism. You’re keen to move on. For these reasons and more you will put a bow on your project and ship it, then celebrate progress and collect your result.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re being too hard on yourself. A helpful perspective is to consider what you would ask of a best friend. What support, understanding and compassion would you extend to them? Let this mindset guide you to de ne the boundaries of your own expectations. is week, lean into prioritizing in a way that promotes self-care and emotional well-being.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Relationships may seem to be based in conversations, transactions and shared experiences, but such things are merely mechanics that allow for the real magic to rush in. is week, don’t forget that emotion is what animates relationships. Feelings weave together to create the bonds.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You can’t set realistic expectations if you don’t know enough about the reality in question. ere’s an art to learning the ins and outs of a situation. If you come on with a litany of questions, you’ll learn less instead of more. is week, you’ll ask the casual, easy things that end up opening a world. You’ll get to know the place before deciding what to want from it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). ough you are often reminded that you are human, with limitations and imperfections, you will be more often reminded this week that you are human with creativity and intellect to soar, solve and succeed in spectacular ways. Exercises that stretch you, hard problems and inspiring people will push you in the direction to amaze yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). is week, you lead people to construct a set of expectations regarding you that you will be happy to ful ll and, indeed, exceed. Furthermore, you’re perfectly positioned to bring someone into your world and convince them to take on your cause or champion your project. Let your intuition lead in this endeavor and you’ll be brilliant.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). ose moving at a di erent pace from the rest of the pack need your help. You will have a calming e ect on the rushed ones, and they will slow down and get centered around you. e sluggish will be invigorated by you. You thrive as you give of yourself; there will be unexpected payo s for your kindness.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You prefer to be liked just like anyone else, but you’re not inclined to go to extreme lengths for validation. is week presents a scenario where a touch of goodwill could bring about ease for everyone involved. e gesture doesn’t need to be grand, just speci c and thoughtful. With your inherent charm and nesse, success is virtually guaranteed.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You’ll imagine a future that makes things better for all, and your vision will be realized in both small and far-reaching ways. And though you don’t demand that the world cater to you, you’ll still get so much of what you want. More highlights: You’ll conceive of a di erent way of presenting what you do and who you are, and these style shifts will a ect your fate. One addition to your team will make a huge di erence. e dynamic between you and your crew is a near perfect blend of plan and action.

CONTRACT BRIDGE — BY STEVE BECKER

CONTRACT BRIDGE

Astute detective work

By Steve Becker

proceed. Obviously, you cannot afford to lose the lead, which in turn means you must bring in the club suit without loss to make the contract. At the moment, though, it’s not clear whether you should first play the king or the ace.

To try and solve this problem, you start by cashing the K-Q of spades. When West follows suit to both spade leads, you are in a far better position to judge how to play the clubs.

It now appears likely that West started with two spades, five hearts and five diamonds, which leaves him with at most one club. You must therefore hope that West’s singleton club is either the queen or the ten.

Opening

Assume you get to three notrump on the bidding shown and West leads the K-A-J of diamonds. When East discards a spade on the third diamond, you learn that West started with five fairly robust diamonds, and because West opened the bidding with one heart, you know that he must have at least five hearts as well.

Having assimilated this information, you must now decide how to

Accordingly, you next cash the ace of clubs. After West produces the ten, you lead the jack from dummy, and when East follows with the eight, you confidently let the jack ride. When West discards a heart, the trouble you took to clarify West’s distribution is rewarded, and you end up making four notrump.

Observe that if you had mechanically cashed the king of clubs at trick four without bothering to play two rounds of spades first, you would have gone down instead of making the contract.

Continued on page 10

THE CHASE continued from page 4

Mom and Dad included this stop with some other errands they were running in the village and parked on Willis Avenue in front of the rectory. This conference was expected to last about five or ten minutes, so Mom elected to remain in the car. It was a beautiful day and the meeting took place right on the porch.

Among the residents of the rectory was a good-natured, playful dog who spotted my dad and was eager to greet and interact with this new visitor. After a generous helping of petting and scratching, there were several attempts to shoo him away, but this mischievous rascal was intent on disrupting the agenda.

Finally, Monsignor Fitzgerald became so exasperated that he stood up, waved his arms aggressively and hollered, “Go on, git! Get out of here! Get OUT of here!” The dog scampered but, at that very moment, it occurred to Dad that he might not have closed the gate behind him when he arrived. Not wanting the dog to run out onto Willis Avenue, he made a beeline toward the street, overtaking the animal, only to find that the gate was indeed secure.

Meanwhile, my mom was patiently waiting in the car and was startled to see this drama unfold. She witnessed the entire scenario. Well, almost. She clearly heard and saw Father Fitz’s tirade, followed by my dad’s frantic dash to the front gate. However, because of the hedges, she never

saw the dog. In time, she was made aware of the canine connection and was relieved to learn that Dad had not been violently excommunicated.

If this story could have a moral, I guess it might be, “When doing the work of the Lord, be mindful of His little creatures and make sure you’ve closed the gate.”
