Here’s To The Grads!

lfeldman@antonmediagroup.com

High school is a time of great growth and change for young people. This graduating class had an arguably tougher go of things, as many high-schoolers’ experiences were bookmarked by the pandemic. Classes were oftentimes totally remote, and clubs and friend-groups had to navigate non-in-person interactions. For many, it was isolating and lonely. Still, our grads stuck it out and worked hard! The Observer would like to celebrate these grads and their families with some highlights from our various school districts.

Bethpage

The Bethpage High School Class of 2023 celebrated its commencement ceremony at the Bethpage Athletic Complex. Dressed in their blue caps and gowns, the graduates arrived onto the football field to “Pomp and Circumstance,” performed by the Bethpage High School band. Loved ones cheered from the bleachers. Senior Graziella Conte performed the National Anthem.

The Class of 2023 heard from Student Council President Marnes Richemond, salutatorian Caio DaSilva and valedictorian Stephanie Pilnacek. Superintendent of Schools Dave Schneider and Bethpage High School Principal Nicholas Jantz also addressed the graduates. “My great hope is that each of you discovers your purpose, reaches your potential and maximizes your voice and that one day you too will be back here to share your own stories of success,” said Mr. Schneider. “So, as you join the ranks of a very special group of people known as Golden Eagle alumni, be bold, be courageous, be your best and wherever you go, go with all your heart.”

Farmingdale

A ‘Daler tradition started in 2017 continued this year, when the Class of 2023 held

their annual Senior Walk. Seniors from Farmingdale High School donned their caps and gowns and walked the hallways of each of the elementary schools in the district. This tradition has taken on a dual purpose over the years. It inspires the younger students, showing them what they can achieve by working hard, and allows seniors to see teachers from their elementary school years and say “thank you” to those who helped them achieve this milestone.

The Farmingdale High School’s Class of 2023 commencement took place at Hofstra University, where the grads proudly walked to “Pomp and Circumstance”. The celebration culminated their years of academic studies, extracurricular activities, and athletic programs. A procession of students in their white and green robes made their way to their seats and threw their caps in the air as family and friends cheered on.

Hicksville

Principal Raymond Williams was the first to welcome the Hicksville High School Class of 2023, offering peace and thanks to all. He asked the Class of 2023 to remember, “Miracles are possible and miracles manifest when people remain strong and committed to improvement and treat each other well.”

Principal Williams continued, “You will create a better future, you will turn crisis into peace and defeats into successes, you will turn hate into love and will ensure that our nation remains on the right track.”

Valedictorian Michael Varghese shared with his fellow classmates they are all worthy of this day and the diplomas they are about to receive. He continued, “Graduates, you have a bright future before you. Life is so short so there isn’t room to waste time, live every day to be purposeful.”

When Superintendent of Schools

Marianne Litzman spoke, she began with a warm welcome to the students and guests in attendance at the morning celebration. She reminded them of all the things they’ve learned throughout their time in the district by those that taught them. “Good people are always here. You are wished nothing but the best” and encouraged them to go in love and

peace and bring their whole heart to all their celebrations and in everything they do.

Levittown

An overwhelming feeling of pride and joy filled the air as seniors from General Douglas MacArthur High School reached the conclusion to their educational careers in Levittown Public Schools.

Principal Joseph Sheehan welcomed families and congratulated seniors. “This graduating class is so special in so many ways,” Mr. Sheehan said. “Their introduction to high school was interrupted during the infancy of the spring semester of their freshman year… But over the next three-and-a-half years, they exuded a much-needed tenacity and an illuminous display of perseverance.”

The perseverance and determination of Division Avenue High School’s Class of 2023 was also celebrated as seniors marked the triumphant conclusion to their educational careers. Families were welcomed by Division Principal John Coscia, who reflected on the exciting yet bittersweet day. “On one hand, I’m so excited for you and what the future has in store for you,” he said, “and I’m a little melancholy because this will be the last time ever that we are all in one room together.”

Salutatorian Yaseen Bayoumy addressed his peers and noted that while the class is moving on to bigger pursuits, the day was not a final goodbye. “While today might feel like a farewell to Division, it shouldn’t,” Yaseen said. “Today might be the last time the entire grade is in the same place, but this class and its spirit will live on through all of us, wherever we decide to live our futures.”

Massapequa

A large gymnasium at Hofstra University served as the gathering place for Massapequa High School’s Class of 2023. It was the crowning moment for the graduates, a culmination of 13 years of school that gave them a few twists and turns along the way.

“They showed me how to make the best out of their experience at Massapequa High School,” said Principal Barbara Lowell, who watched them overcome pandemic restrictions to succeed academically and get actively involved in student life.

Superintendent Dr. William Brennan, addressing his first graduating class, noted that the Class of 2023 embodies the transformative power of a Massapequa education.

“I see this class as the future leaders, innovators and change makers that this world is craving,” he said, adding that they need to “keep that fire to learn burning” because they will have careers that last until 2060 or later when jobs could look vastly different.

This year’s class of 482 seniors is graduating with a collective total of 5,600 college credits. They also earned about $14 million in scholarships from the 127 colleges and universities they are attending next year. Ms. Lowell also recognized a half-dozen students who will be entering the military, enrolling in a military institution or joining an ROTC program after high school.

Plainview

Plainview-Old Bethpage’s John F Kennedy High Schoolers gathered in the auditorium to celebrate their commencement, marching

on stage to “Pomp and Circumstance”.

Debbie Bernstein, Board of Education President, began, “Today we reflect not only on the challenges you have overcome, but also on your incredible achievements throughout your high school journey.” But she also cautioned students. “Academic achievements alone do not define success. As you step into the next chapter of your lives, remember that true success is measured not just by personal accomplishment, but by the positive impact you make on the lives of others.”

James Murray, Principal of POB JFK is retiring after this year. His tearful reflection on the difficulties faced by the Class of 2023 roused a great round of applause. “You were all just freshmen, still finding your way through our halls, but around mid-March, 2020, things changed practically in an instant. You were told to go home and stay in your houses, and log online for lessons. I was so impressed with how you managed it all, demonstrating resilience and fortitude. What you have achieved, in spite of [the pandemic],” he paused in awe. “100 percent of the class of 2023 is graduating, that’s 405 students, which is a testament to your determination to succeed, and not let anything hold you back. POB JFK Class of 2023 is an unstoppable force, one that will go on to do great things, no doubt about it.”

Seaford

The graduates were clad in green and white, the hues that are synonymous with the Seaford Vikings, but all the colors of the rainbow symbolize their futures. That was the message at Seaford High School’s graduation ceremony at the John Cranford Adams Playhouse at Hofstra University, where speakers picked different colors to represent the ambitions and aspirations of the Class of 2023.

Principal Nicole Schanbel picked yellow as a color of boldness and daring, offering advice to the graduates in which she encouraged them to speak their truth. “Do not live your life saying what you think people want to hear,” she said. “Fight for your truth. Be respectful, of course, but be proud of what you believe and be confident in your convictions. There is nothing more attractive in life than honesty and confidence.”

Superintendent Dr. Adele Pecora selected black, which symbolizes boundless possibilities. A blackboard, she explained, represents the transfer of knowledge, then can be erased to provide a clean slate. “Begin this journey with black pen in hand and fearlessly construct your narrative,” said Dr. Pecora. Finally, it was time to present the diplomas to the 166 graduates. Assistant principals Dr. Raphi Morey and Anthony Murray announced each senior along with his or her involvement at Seaford High School and future plans. The graduates received their green diploma folders from board of education vice president Stacie Starks. A few minutes after the last name was called, the green and white caps soared into the air.

Wantagh

The scoreboard in the Wantagh High School gymnasium may have suggested the Warriors were down 20 to 23, with 20:23 left

to go in the game. But it was actually lit up to honor the Class of 2023, as 221 graduates received their diplomas during the evening ceremony.

Board of education president Laura Reich noted that this class showed the Warrior spirit with their strength and resiliency, noting that they had to deal with challenges brought by the pandemic. “You supported and lifted each other up in darker moments, and cheered on and celebrated each other in brighter ones,” she said. “Each of your individual successes are a true to testament to your character, from academics to music to art to drama to athletics. This class has excelled in all areas and made the district and the Wantagh community proud.”

Student speakers included Class of 2023 co-presidents Lily Sloves and Nicole Tobia, valedictorian Katherine Killian and salutatorian Nora Toscano. In addition to reflecting on high school and the values instilled in

them while growing up in Wantagh, Lily and Nicole said how grateful they were for the Soaring Valor experience and meeting the veterans.

Nora reflected on childhood, the “unguarded and honest” friendships that were formed and the hopes and dreams they developed. Now, she said, is time to “go get more” for those simple, bright-faced kids. “Let’s go be the people they’d be proud to turn into,” she said.

Katherine said the graduates are ready to move beyond their small town and experience life on their own terms. She thanked her teachers, parents and friends for the knowledge they have imparted along the way and for the inspiration they have provided. “We are all ready. Class of 2023, it’s our time to shine!”

LETTER FROM YOUR EDITOR

I’ve Gotten To Know You... Now You Can Get To Know Me!

Hello Observer subscribers, readers, and fellow community members! In January of this year, The Observer’s prior editor — and member of Anton for over a decade — Dave Gil de Rubio, passed the proverbial torch on to me. I have learned and grown much since the beginning of this year, and have connected with so many wonderful people across Nassau County. Being an editor and journalist for community news offers me the unique chance to enter the world of my readers, even if only briefly, and learn about what they value, fight for, and believe in. These past six months, you have shared your stories with me, and I in turn have tried to share them with the community. While I would love to meet each and every reader, I know this is not possible. So instead I wanted to introduce myself to you, to put a face behind the pages. Because I believe this is what makes our papers so special, the chances we have to connect and come together.

I am a born-and-raised Long Islander, hailing from Huntington in Suffolk County. I attended Dickinson College, and earned a degree in English and Creative Writing in 2021. The Covid pandemic struck during the Spring of my Junior year, which — alongside my entire Senior year — I spent from home. Finishing college online was very difficult for me, and not at all what I had envisioned for myself. I am sure

many of you with children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews of your own can recall the rocky transition students made. But I had monumental support from my family, and was able to complete my final year on schedule. I then got my Master’s in 2022 from the University of East Anglia overseas in the UK. My MA is in Media and International Development, a subject I was drawn to pursue because of my love of stories and real-life storytellers. Helping others tell their stories has been one of the great loves of my life.

Upon completion of my dissertation, I moved back home with my lovely parents and two dogs. I found my way to Anton as an intern last autumn, and began gaining the invaluable experience which has rocketed me into the professional world. When I am not working as your editor, I enjoy trying new cafes, making art, and walking one of LI’s many preserves, gardens, or parks.

My time as an editor and journalist has taught me a lot. I consider myself to be quite shy, and often terrified of new social situations. But of course, the nature of this job puts me right in the center of many types of goings-on, and has given me the gentle nudge to meet more people, see more sights, and experience the unfamiliar. I have gone diving with sharks, participated in a D-Day reenactment,

and interviewed local politicians. I have cheered on athletes at the Special Olympic Games, honored our servicemen and women, and — in my early days as an intern — taught many of you how to spatchcock a turkey for Thanksgiving. But most importantly, I have connected with my home in ways I would not have thought possible. And that is in large part because of all of you! It is because of your

readership, your kind emails and phone calls, that I am able to delve into the towns of The Observer and amplify your stories. So I want to end this letter by thanking you, for helping me put the “community” in community news. I hope to keep honoring the trust you have instilled in me over the next six months, and beyond!

—Sincerely, Lauren

Feldman

Friends For Life

took home a variety of raffle basket prizes that were on display throughout the day for those that wanted to participate, compliments of sponsors and many local businesses. The winners enjoyed prizes that included a pair of hearing aids, digital picture frame, gift cards to local restaurants and salons, retail stores, lottery board and the grand prize was a lunch for 4 guests with Amy Recco! Many people took home fun photo pictures with friends and loved our high-tech photo booth. The smiling faces of the people enjoying this special day that is all about them plus the joy of nearly 30 volunteers = SUCCESS! Friends for Life Seniors Foundation sincerely thanks everyone who participated and looks forward to the 2024 extravaganza!

ANTON NEWSPAPERS ACTIVITY PAGE FOR KIDS!

Animal Fact!

Aardvark:

BY GREAT NECK PAL

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?

Termites!

What a bunch of strange fellas. Check back next week to learn about another animal starting with the letter…. B!

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.

The Washington Spy Trail extends along Route 25A through Nassau and Suffolk counties. There are multiple historical sights along this trail. To view an interactive map, visit washingtonspytrail.com.

$23,000 a year in savings* from lighting upgrades means more of this for Long Island.

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.

DEC 12An Intimate Evening with David Foster & Katherine McPhee

Swift has been an iconic countryturned-pop star since releasing her debut album, Taylor Swift, in 2009. Since then, she has released ten albums and has won countless awards. 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:

HOME & DESIGN

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)

Emma’s project was building two 4x8 raised vegetable garden beds that are two feet tall and made from cedar wood.

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.
