Anton Looks Back At The Year 2022

“I am pleased that our service planners were able to find ways to create express service within the envelope of existing train and track capacity constraints,” said LIRR Interim President and Metro-North Railroad President Rinaldi.

GLEN COVE:

Shooting At Glen Cove Mansion Glen Cove Mansion temporarily lost its liquor license in July, following a July 10 shooting there that injured three. The New York State Liquor Authority reported that the “Big Fendi Birthday Celebration” was held in violation of express directions from the town of Glen Cove, which advised the Glen Cove Mansion on July 7, 2022 that its event permit had been disapproved. “Ignoring that direction and the absence of a permit, the hotel allowed a promoter to host a pool party at the mansion with approximately 150-200 patrons,” the New York State Liquor Authority reported. “Shortly after 5 p.m. a fight erupted inside the premises involving 10 to 12 patrons. There was gunfire and three persons were shot, including a security guard attempting to intervene.” “Police responding to the premises encountered a chaotic and dangerous scene, with patrons pushing and running to exit the establishment while employees attempted to mop up blood from the crime scene,” the report continued. Reported by Patch, two weeks after The Mansion had its liquor license pulled — the venue announced it has reached an agreement with the state. As part of the agreement, The Mansion can have its liquor license back if it pays a $50,000 fine and complies with restrictions set forth by the SLA.

SYOSSET:

Street Named After Late Hero Reporter On Nov. 12, local legislatures, members of the Marie Colvin Memorial Foundation, Syosset High School senior Sabrina Guo and the sister of the late war reporter Marie Colvin, Cat Colvin, gathered with fellow community members in downtown Oyster Bay for a street renaming ceremony. Marie Colvin was born in Astoria and was raised in Oyster Bay. According to the Marie Colvin Memorial Foundation, in a career spanning more than 30 years, Colvin reported from the front lines of war zones around the world and was renowned for her bravery, tenacity, skills and compassion. Colvin, working for The Sunday Times of London, was one of the few Western journalists inside Syria. On Feb. 22, 2012, she was killed at the makeshift media center where she and several other journalists were staying when it was bombed by Syrian rocket fire. Oyster Bay Cove resident Guo spearheaded the street re-naming. “Marie Colvin Way” can now be found on West Main Nassau

LONG ISLAND:

Sandra Lindsay, RN, DHSc,was honored at a special ceremony held at the White House where President Joseph R. Biden bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom. (Courtesy of Northwell Health) County Legislator Josh Lafazan heard Guo’s request for the street re-naming, so he filed legislation to enshrine Colvin’s legacy in the heart of downtown Oyster Bay in July. The Nassau Legislature unanimously approved the proposal on Sept. 19th.

MANHASSET:

Lighthouse In Critical Need Of Repair The Stepping Stones Lighthouse has been in poor condition and has needed repairs for many years. As an important landmark and part of Great Neck’s history, the restoration of this lighthouse is a concern for many involved parties and residents. Since the Town of North Hempstead gained stewardship of the lighthouse 14 years ago, not much has been done to restore or maintain it. “In the 14 years [that the town has had stewardship over the lighthouse], the building has been deteriorating,” said Marc Katz, Vice President of the Great Neck Historical Society. “The outside is fairly firm, but the inside is not; plaster is falling, and it’s not holding up well in the weather.” Katz and the Historical Society are in the process of planning a meeting with the Great Neck Park District and the Town of North Hempstead to discuss finishing the dock and the next steps toward stabilization.

PORT WASHINGTON:

Our Country Honors a Brave Long Island Resident During a special ceremony held at the White House on July 7, President Joseph R. Biden bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Sandra Lindsay, RN, DHSc, for becoming the first American to receive an approved Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine and her continued advocacy for public health equity. At 18 years old, Dr. Lindsay immigrated to Queens, NY, from Jamaica to pursue her dream of becoming a nurse. She now lives in Port Washington and has more than 27 years of nursing experience, most of which in critical care. “During the height of the pandemic, Dr. Lindsay poured her heart into helping

patients and keeping her fellow nurses safe. And when the time came, she was the first American to become fully vaccinated outside of clinical trials,” President Biden said. On Dec. 14, 2020, the world watched as Dr. Lindsay made history and received the first Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Pfizer vaccine at Long Island Jewish Medical Center (LIJ-MC). “I am beyond thankful to President Biden for recognizing that momentous day and my continued efforts to end vaccine hesitancy and promote health care for everyone, no matter where you live, who you are, or the color of your skin,” said Dr. Lindsay. North Shore Express Trains Have Been Saved On Sept. 28, New York State Senator Anna M. Kaplan (D-Port Washington) and Assemblywoman Gina L. Sillitti (D-Port Washington) joined Long Island Rail Road Interim President and Metro-North Railroad President Catherine Rinaldi for a press conference at the Port Washington LIRR Station. They announced that LIRR officials have heard the concerns of the community and are abandoning plans to eliminate express train service to Penn Station on the Port Washington Branch of the LIRR. Months ago the LIRR released its draft schedules showing train service to Grand Central after the East Side Access Project is complete. Elected officials and commuters were unhappy with the proposed changes to the Port Washington branch, affecting commuters across the North Shore. The changes included increased commute time and the elimination of peak-hour express train services. Senator Kaplan and Assemblywoman Sillitti held “Save Our Express Trains” press conferences and public hearings. Their outreach efforts engaged over 3,100 community members to fill out a survey and the results were shared with MTA leadership. The town of North Hempstead’s elected officials, various village mayors and many residents supported the movement, and after months of fighting their voices were heard.

Ripples Of Neo-Nazi Hate Over the summer, several major news incidents surrounding a central theme of hate drew focus to the region. Dozens of anti-semitic fliers were distributed in three Nassau communities that have also been spotted in multiple states, calling the Biden Administration or abortion or Disney or Covid “[in] every single aspect [Jewish].” Ones found in Oceanside and Rockville Centre included headshots of high-ranking Biden administration or military members, labelling them as Jewish and/ or (in bright letters) transgender people. Four days later, a pride flag was targeted at Oceanside Lutheran Church, where one had also previously been stolen. The church’s pride flag, meant to show welcome to all, was then targeted twice in one day last month. News 12 Brooklyn reported: “At around noon [on July 26], one person tried to pull a pride flag down - but couldn’t - instead, left the flag with a tear in its side. At around 7:30 p.m., someone else came and was able to steal the flag.” The same day, Rolling Stone broke a story that drew international attention, relating to the June arrest of former U.S. Marine Matthew Belanger, 25, of Selden, who’s been under federal investigation for more than a year. Court documents revealed that Belanger, who was charged with illegally obtaining two rifles in Port Jefferson with help from an unnamed New York police officer, had previously been planning to attack and then alternately burn down an unnamed Long Island synagogue, and to commit and promote mass acts of sexual and reproductive violence.

WESTBURY:

Village Of Westbury 90th Anniversary The Village of Westbury turned 90 this year, and residents and visitors alike explored the area’s history in November through a series of cultural and educational events. Westbury Arts and the Westbury Historical Society joined forces for a special exhibit marking the Village of Westbury’s 90th anniversary, featuring an extensive collection of photos, maps, and memorabilia. Locations that hosted the exhibit include: Westbury Memorial Library, 445 Jefferson Street, with selections from the Westbury Historical Society; the Yes We Can Community Center, 141 Garden Street, where residents shared their family photos of a bygone era; and Westbury Arts Gallery, 255 Schenck Avenue, where the theme of the materials on display was “change.”

‘The Next Chapter’

An independent bookstore has opened in the spirit of Huntington’s Book Revue

JULIE PRISCO jprisco@antonmediagroup.com

he Next Chapter, one of Long Island’s largest independent bookstores, is now open. Huntington’s Book Revue closed its doors in September 2021. Book lovers around Long Island were sad to see the store close after 44 years in business. The bookstore was located in the heart of Huntington Village and was a spot for people to unwind with coffee and a good book or meet friends to splurge on their favorite magazines. A dedicated employee and manager of the Book Revue, Mallory Braun heard the community’s wishes to bring the store back and worked hard over the past year to make it happen. Book Revue owner Richard Klein supported Braun’s endeavor and has been helping her along the way. The reincarnated vision of the Book Revue is called The Next Chapter and is located at 204 New York Ave. in Huntington. “I wanted to get this going, and I knew it was something the community wanted,” Braun said. “And I thought it would be a good opportunity for myself because I had been intending on working in rare books as my career, so it all made sense.” Shortly after its closing, Braun began working on building a staff and preparing book pop-ups throughout Huntington and Long Island. Braun started with two people, her brother Nolan and her friend Joe. While Book Revue owner Klein isn’t staff, “he’s been here the whole time and helps a lot,” Braun said. In the late winter of 2022, The Next Chapter brought boxes and boxes of books around the island and set up little book markets at places like Huntington’s Main Street Nursery, Farmingdale’s Flux Coffee, and Glen Cove’s Southdown Coffee. “I didn’t have staff at first, and I couldn’t do it by myself,” said Bruan. “I was setting up the business, thinking about how I wanted to do things, and planning all the logistical things. I started hiring people in early spring [of 2022].” “We started out just doing used books, and we learned a lot from doing the pop-ups so often,” said Braun. “The pop-ups were very labor intensive because you had to put books in the right sections and spend a lot of time on set up to only be at that location for such a short amount of time.” Toward the end of the pop-up sales, Braun and her staff had mastered the setup and breakdown. They brought the remaining books to sell in boxes and would line them up on tables for people to browse and purchase.

Staff picks and children’s section. (Photo by Julie Prisco) “A lot of people were coming to the popups and it was great,” Braun said. “It was a way for us to build momentum, tell people what was going on and make some money. I had a staff at that point, and we were accepting donations, picking up books from people and moving warehouses multiple times.” The Next Chapter’s staff consists of new hires and some familiar faces from the Book Revue. The pop-ups helped generate lots of funds for The Next Chapter’s new location, in addition to a Kickstarter, where many people from the book community could donate. “It was wonderful,” Braun said. “Lots of people are very generous, excited and helpful. It was nice to see such amazing support.” In mid-summer, The Next Chapter announced they had found their new location. The new store is a large building on New York

Avenue located near the popular coffee shop Stella Blue, Six Harbors Brewing Company and Heckscher Park. “The Book Revue was basically in the center of town and I clocked how long it would take to get from there to this new location, and it’s a five-minute walk,” Braun wqie. The Next Chapter has free street parking and a spacious parking lot with about 20 spots for visitors and shoppers. The new space is freshly painted and has an updated ceiling. Bookshelves have been installed along the walls and free-standing bookshelves are spread out throughout different sections of the store. Tables are set up with staff picks, discounted books and new releases. “We’re obviously still building the business, so as people find out about us, things

will get even better here,” Braun wqie. While the majority of the store is open and set up for shoppers, a back section is still being put together and organized to have even more space for a kids’ section. The Next Chapter staff and shoppers look forward to having author events hosted at the shop. “We’re looking to have events soon,” said Braun. “In order to have some big-name authors come here, you have to prove to the publisher you can sell the books. So if people are interested in reading a new book, they should purchase all the new books they want from us. Then we can show that data to publishers to prove it is worth it for authors to be sent to our store.” The Next Chapter has its store organized and ready for shoppers to browse all the sections from memoirs, history, religion, young adult, children and romance to graphic novels, science fiction, horror, fantasy and more. While browsing the store, shoppers can find areas containing rare books and beautifully bound first-edition novels, poem collections and short story compilations. The store offers gifts for any book lover, such as colored pens for annotating and trendy notebooks. Other non-book items available include records, tarot cards and zipper pouches. The bookshop is actively receiving donated books and stocking the store with new releases and everyone’s favorite classics. Currently, the shop is working on getting titles from the New York Times 100 Notable Books of 2022 list. Visit www.thenextchapterli.com or follow the shop on Instagram @thenextchapterli to be updated on The Next Chapter’s progress.

A Year Of Comic Book Movies

YEAR IN REVIEW

JULIE PRISCO jprisco@antonmediagroup.com

his year was a big year for comic book movie releases. Many of these film releases were highly anticipated, especially considering some faced delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Marvel and DC released great movies featuring beloved superheroes such as Black Panther and Batman. The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is well established, starting its award-winning movie universe with Iron Man, released in 2008. The MCU has released 30 movies and multiple TV shows that intertwine with their movie timeline. While the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) hasn’t quite got its universe timeline and character casting locked in yet, they have produced some incredible movies that have fans excited for the future of the DCEU. Below are this year’s most anticipated comic book movies:

The Batman

Released: March 4, 2022 Worldwide Box Office according to IMDB: $770,836,163

Over the past few decades, we have seen numerous actors take on the role of Batman. From Michael Keaton, George Clooney and Val Kilmer to Christian Bale and Ben Affleck, many A-List celebrities have played the iconic role. This year, we saw Robert Pattinson step into the role of Batman. The Batman movie explores Gotham’s underground corruption when a sadistic murderer goes on a killing spree and murders political figures and crime bosses. The Batman introduces vital roles such as Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle (also known as Catwoman), Andy Serkis as Alfred, Paul Dano as Riddler and Colin Farrell as Penguin. Unlike previous womanizer portrayals, Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne was grunge, moody and a recluse. Batman fans raved about this portrayal, as it was unique and new to most depictions of Batman. The movie was set in a gloomy atmosphere with an equally grim soundtrack featuring Nirvana’s “Something in the Way. “ While the film showcased Batman’s cool tech, like the classic Batmobile and contact lenses capable of recording video and audio, fans were enamored with the comic book-like storytelling. The movie follows a dynamic story of Batman’s struggles with himself while dealing with the twists and

The Batman (Photo from IMBD) turns of an investigation. The Batman was adored by fans worldwide. This movie helped put the DCEU back on the map after their other widely criticized films. Batman and DC lovers hope the DCEU can continue its comeback.

Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness Released: May 6, 2022 Worldwide Box Office according to IMDB: $955,775,804 After the 2021 release of Spiderman: No

Way Home, fans were excited to dive deeper into Marvel’s multiverse plans with Doctor Strange. Fans got to see characters they already know and love, like Doctor Steven Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), Wong (Benedict Wong) and Wanda Maximoff, The Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olson). The movie introduces us to America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), a young girl whose power is to travel the multiverse. Throughout the film, Doctor Strange sets out on a journey to protect America from the Scarlet Witch, who is on the hunt to steal America’s powers for herself. The movie is vividly colorful as Doctor Strange and America travel through different universes. But when the film focuses on the Scarlet Witch, we get a dark glimpse into Wanda’s struggles since the end of her TV show, WandaVision. While exploring the multiverse, Doctor Strange and America come across a universe where the Illuminati exists. In this universe, fans were thrilled to see some of their favorite comic book characters, such as Reed Richards (John Krasinski) and Professor X (Patrick Stewart). Seeing these characters brought into the MCU for this movie has given fans hope for future projects.

COMIC BOOK FILMS from page 8A Doctor Stange: Multiverse of Madness had the same playful banter we expect from the MCU, with a surprising addition of horror elements. The movie left fans questioning the Scarlet Witch’s future and excited for the next Doctor Strange film, where we can expect to see another infamous comic book character introduced into the MCU.

Thor: Love and Thunder

Release: July 8, 2022 Worldwide Box Office according to IMBD: $760,928,081 Thor: Love and Thunder was the fourth Thor film in the MCU. After the third Thor movie, Thor: Ragnarok, fans were thrilled to see director Taika Waititi continue his take on Thor as fun-loving and bright. Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is summoned to face the threat of Gorr, the God Butcher (Christian Bale). While we already know Thor’s old flame, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), we see her in this movie as Mighty Thor. But now, Foster is hiding a secret that she is dealing with terminal cancer. Thor gets his friends, King Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), Korg (Takia Waititi) and Mighty Thor, to join him on a quest to find Gorr and eliminate him. We are introduced to Zeus (Russell Crowe). We don’t see much of him in the film, but fans expect him to come back in future films. The film explores deep themes of finding happiness and love while dealing with grief, and we are still given quick-witted jokes and bold visuals that Waititi is

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (Photo from IMBD) known for in his movies.

Black Adam

Released: Oct. 21, 2022 Worldwide Box Office according to IMBD: $389,256,034 Black Adam introduced fans to the DCEU character Black Adam (Dwayne Johnson). The movie tells the origin story of Teth-Adam (Black Adam), who rises from a 5,000-year imprisonment and displays unrelenting god-like powers. Black Adam was awoken from his slumber to be the savior of his country, but his powers drew the attention of the Justice Society of America (JSA). The JSA introduces us to new characters, including Hawkman (Aldis Hodge), Doctor Fate (Pierce Brosnan), Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell) and Atom

Smasher (Noah Centineo). Throughout the film, Black Adam has a no-mercy attitude that the JSA cannot let slide. The film explores Black Adam as a morally gray character. In the end, Black Adam and the JSA end up putting their differences aside and working together to help save the country from a villain trying to destroy the world. This film received many mixed reviews from fans and critics. While it didn’t live up to expectations after The Batman premiered earlier in the year, it wasn’t the worst of DC’s films.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Release: Nov. 11, 2022 Worldwide Box Office according to IMBD: $769,920,219

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was the first MCU film featuring Black Panther after Chadwick Boseman’s (Black Panther) death in 2020. This highly anticipated film answered many questions about the future of the Black Panther character. The movie handled the death of King T’Challa (Black Panther) in a gracious and honorable way. There was no use of creepy CGI to bring Chadwich Boseman back for a scene. Instead, they showed a beautiful and emotional funeral for the fallen King. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever deals with a vulnerable Wakanda after the death of its king, in which Wakanda must fight to save itself. As tensions rise with foreign countries and an underwater civilization threatens Wakanda, Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), Princess Shuri (Letitia Wright) and Okoye (Danai Guria) have to get help and prove their country’s strength. The film introduces Namor (Tenoch Huerta) as the leader of the underwater civilization, Talokan, and Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) as Ironheart. Fans are excited to see what the MCU has in store for both characters. Throughout the movie, we see our favorite characters deal with grief, loss and generational trauma. Shuri perseveres and ends up becoming the new Black Panther for Wakanda. The film features intriguing social and political commentary while showing the beautiful world of Wakanda and Talokan. This MCU movie was an emotional ride for fans as they said goodbye to one Black panther and hello to a new one.

Environmental Round-up For 2022

oyote Sightings-For many people, coyotes go along with windswept desert bluffs, cacti and sagebrush, or cartoon anvils and crafty roadrunners. Picturing them running along the tracks of the LIRR or picking garbage out of a dumpster is unfamiliar at best. But these opportunistic animals, though still rare, have been established on Long Island for at least the last seven years. In terms of population, western Nassau County has approximately 13 individuals, with three to four in the Manhasset group. The male who was sighted recently is most likely the male from the breeding pair of that group. Other coyotes have been spotted in Searingtown, Great Neck, Oyster Bay, Roslyn and Port Washington. Some of these animals are transitive, where they spend a little time in an area before moving on. In general, though, coyotes are social animals that live in both family bands and looser groups of unrelated individuals in a particular territory.

Sorting through tons of old photos, newspaper articles and advertisements, I fondly recall many rewarding experiences. Because a centenary is such an incredible milestone, my family and I have searched out (and found) images that many in the third generation had never seen. It all began in 1922 in Brooklyn, when my grandparents, Max and Clara Fortunoff, launched their business in the Roaring Twenties, a time of progress, industrialization and optimism. Back then, Fortunoff was nothing more than a pushcart laden with pots and pans. The business expanded into a general store, specializing in kitchenware. Both family and business grew through the 1920s, ’30s and ’40s, surviving first the Depression, then World War II. The store carried items that every home needed, and built a reputation for good quality and value pricing. When World War II ended and the soldiers came home, more members of the Fortunoff family joined to meet the needs of a rapidly growing customer base.

The second generation, Marjorie, Lester and Alan, joined an experienced homegrown team that expanded the company’s one store in the East New York section of Brooklyn into a sprawling complex with eight stores in a two-block radius. The stores stayed open late and catered to appreciative crowds of shoppers. The stores expanded their offerings to include kitchenware, towels, linens, curtains and curtain rods, lamps, furniture, silverware and china. Each additional product category demanded ever-increasing numbers of service personnel. Max and Clara, along with their diverse staff, welcomed the second generation and their spouses into the growing enterprise, and kept adding new products. My mother, Helene, with her husband, Alan, decided to try fine jewelry, and it became a legendary department. The Fortunoff family also felt it important to give back to the community, offering jobs for high schoolers from the neighborhood, some of whom ended up staying with the company for more than 50 years. The full history of the Brooklyn stores has been told before, but here are a couple of my favorite photos, showing my mother Helene’s first jewelry counter and my father Alan at the cash register in 1957.

In the 1960s, the family chose to follow many of our customers to the suburbs of Long Island, New Jersey and Westchester. Over the next 50 years, Fortunoff opened a half-dozen new stores in the tri-state area. We found a great location for a department store in Westbury, adjacent to

superstore across the parking lot from Ohrbach’s, one of the country’s most popular department stores at the time. Many of our employees from Brooklyn followed the business to Long Island. Fortunoff became a true American success story, fully stocked with china, crystal, pots and pans, silverware, gifts, lamps, jewelry, unique items from all over the world—and even gourmet foods. In addition to quality products and great values, the Westbury store featured a well-trained staff of primarily women to help with merchandise choices and gift wrapping. As news of the store grew, the turnout was amazing. Customers jammed

the aisles, sometimes three deep, with shoppers marveling at the many showcases full of new and exciting selections. My mother and her team created a gigantic jewelry department set up quite differently from other jewelry stores at that time. To be as close as possible to her customers, my mother had her office right off the sales floor with a staff of women she personally trained. Alan and Helene traveled the world to source unusual designs from undiscovered designers, an unusual thing for a woman to do back then. To support the overwhelming success of the Westbury location on Long

Island, the jewelry and silver businesses created a strong executive team behind the scenes as well as at the counter and on the sales floor. My parents had always dreamed of a more cosmopolitan upscale location and, in 1969, they opened a boutique on 57th Street, between Park Avenue and Lexington Avenue. The move to Manhattan made the Fortunoff hallmark combination of best products at everyday low prices available to city dwellers, businesspeople, tourists and visitors from around the country and the world. The store on 57th Street was a typical city structure—very narrow, with several floors of merchandise. Jewelry was on the ground level and watches and flatware were above. My mom and dad added antique jewelry and antique silver, which they sourced from England. I worked as a teenager on weekends and the city life was certainly exciting. We were across the street from the imposing and impressive structure, “The First Women’s Bank.” I went off to college out west, while our growing family was enjoying the success that came with hard work and the “right stuff.” Since my mother was from New Jersey and knew the area, and since many of the old Brooklyn customers had moved there, my parents began the process of looking for a location and found a brand new mall being built, which was opened on 1974, called Paramus Park, in Bergen County. Fortunoff was the “third anchor” in the new center, which included A&S and JC Penny. Our store was a fabulous, modern, spacious 15,000 square-feet with showcase

after showcase of fine jewelry, fashion jewelry, costume jewelry, watches, flatware (the largest selection in the U.S.), silver tea services and picture frames. An innovative feature was our watchmakers and jewelers, positioned behind a large glass partition and visible to our customers while they worked. The watch and jewelry service center in Paramus was bustling and the place where I later learned so much about the jewelry business. We had a sit-down diamond area and a large selection of jewelry and watches at every price point. I flew in from college for the Paramus Park opening. It was very exciting. In fact, each store opening was like an extended family reunion, with Fortunoff family members from the first and second generations (my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles), and as many of the cousins as were old enough to attend and help cut the ribbon. We always invited employees from all the areas of the company, along with friends and suppliers, to join us for these special events, too. The key staffers hired in Paramus became the backbone of subsequent New Jersey store locations, including Wayne and Woodbridge. Fortunoff became an iconic business unlike any other in the country, mentioned on popular TV shows, featured in newspapers and magazines, and studied in business schools. A true American success story. Visit www.fortunoffjewelry.com to read the second chapter of Esther Fortunoff’s blog.

LONG ISLAND WEEKLY

Long Island Weekly: A Year In Celebrity Interviews DAVE GIL de RUBIO dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

ver the years, Long Island Weekly has managed to corral numerous celebrities from the worlds of music, television, film and publishing for some intriguing conversations. The year 2022 was no different. Here are some of the highlights.

Buddy Guy

The year 2023 will see Buddy Guy embarking on a farewell tour, a well-earned respite for this blues icon who turns 87 on July 30 of next year. The subject of a pair of recent documentaries, 2021’s Buddy Guy: The Blues Chase the Blues Away and this year’s, The Torch, Guy is a faithful torchbearer for a genre that’s lost a number of its cornerstone trailblazers in recent years, including B.B. King, John Lee Hooker and Otis Rush. “The way they treat the blues now, you don’t hear it on your big radio stations anymore,” he remarked. “Your big AM/FM stations don’t play blues hardly anymore. So whatever little I can do to help keep blues alive, I’m open for it.”

Joan Osborne

One of the side benefits of the pandemic was that the existential pause button that got pressed allowed people to do some otherwise neglected house cleaning. A nesting project of this description allowed Joan Osborne to fortuitously unearth a box of previously unreleased performances dating back to the ‘80s that allowed her to release this year’s 13-track Radio Waves. “Most of my life’s work has disappeared without a trace,” she said. “I’ve made 10+ studio albums, but the vast majority of the songs I’ve sung hundreds and thousands of times over decades of touring across the globe, has never been recorded. I found all of this stuff and normally, if I was in my busy pattern, I might have looked at it, taped the box up again, shoved it back in the closet and not given it a second thought. Because I had the time, I was able to listen through a lot of this stuff and give it the attention it deserved.”

Stanley Nelson

Even though director Stanley Nelson’s Attica lost Best Documentary Oscar to heavily favored Summer of Soul, his most recent project was less about racking up awards and more about raising awareness. “I think we’re still dealing with the same struggles—law enforcement, decency and humanity and people wanting to be treated like human beings,” Nelson said. “Hopefully, a bunch of things are coalescing at the same time and for a tiny bit of that, it’s the film Attica making people start to rethink the prison system. As filmmakers, we try to keep insight as to what our real goals are and what they are here is making sure we have as many people as possible see the film. The awards nods are all great, but in the final analysis, that will push more people to recognize and see the film and that’s what we really want.”

Keb’ Mo’

The blues might be a strange place to associate with Compton, a Los Angeles neighborhood more associated with hip-hop acts like N.W.A., but it’s where much-loved American artist Keb’ Mo’ (born Kevin Moore) calls home. In speaking with Long Island Weekly, he shared what his community was like growing up. ““At the time, Compton was middle-class people trying to get their kids through college. A lot of the men had good jobs at the Douglas Aircraft Company and Lockheed. They were machinists and had health plans. My mom was a hairdresser with a shop. There were a lot of businesses because people had jobs in that area. Kids were doing alright.”

Héctor Elizondo Consummate character actor Héctor Elizondo has been plying his trade for nearly 60 years, appearing on stage and racking up roughly 157 credits in film and on television. And while the 85-year-old thespian saw his latest project, the Chuck Lorre CBS sitcom B Positive, get canceled after two seasons back in May, the Manhattan native appreciated the chance to still practice his craft. “I love the environment because

seniors are very rarely highlighted in their life,” he explained. “The life of a senior isn’t as valued as much and this is of course a culture that genuflects at the altar of youth, but not at the altar of experiences and a life well-lived. These are the people who raised the children, paid the taxes, fought the wars and have been the good citizens. Too many are forgotten at a time in their life when they are still very useful.”

Whenever I’m on of the pandemic, Carle Place Long Island, it’s the feeling you native Steve Vai has a new get when you’re on what feels record called Inviolate. He like your home turf. I’ve been shared that nothing delights living in California for 42 years, him more than coming back it feels like home, but it feels like to Long Island. “It’s always a a second home whenever I set hoot [coming back],” he said. foot in New York. And they’re so “It’s a little bit of a push because vastly different that when you’re on Steve Vai there are a lot of people to see in your home turf that’s 3,000 miles (Photo by a short period of time. But I cut Larry DiMarzio) away, you’re there. You’re in the my teeth on Long Island in high environment.”

Joe Satriani

This year may have seen the release of Joe Satriani’s latest recorded effort, The Elephants of Mars, but it also allowed him to return to an early love–painting. “I wound up with this new career as an artist that just sort of fell into my lap,” Satriani explained. “The two really seem to help each other out—the painting and the recording. I recently flew out to Gatlinburg, TN, a beautiful little town in the Smoky Mountains. I did an art show and a private musical performance for the patrons that was at the [Gaitlinburg] Convention Center. It was such a crazy thing to do, especially after years of pandemic. Just to be able to play guitars I’ve painted for people that bought them and see all my canvas work in one big room—it’s great.”

Jimmy Smits

For Brooklyn native, the major role he plays in the CBS crime procedural East New York is a sort of homecoming for him. “[With this show], the stars felt like they aligned in Jimmy Smits regards to what’s happening with as Assistant law enforcement and what’s been Chief John happening in New York along with Suarez women empowerment and having a character who is really a strong voice. We’ve come up with this ensemble of actors that is really tight and wonderful, but the characters are really compelling, unique and they each have their own spin on [the storylines]. It felt like something I really wanted to be a part of. And also for my old neighborhood—to kind of give props to it and give back in a way.”

He also gained 346 yards on 17 carries, the second most yardage ever gained in a Long Island Championships game. Garden City coach Dave Ettinger told Roger Rubin for Newsday, “In that Long Island championship, we were struggling on offense [by] turning the ball over and he just took that game over.” In December, Finell was honored as Nassau County’s most outstanding player as the 81st recipient of the Thorp Award at the Nassau County High School Football Coaches Association banquet.

WE LOVE OUR PETS

Chicken Chat: The Straight Yolk On Backyard Birds AMANDA OLSEN aolsen@antonmediagroup.com

he number of people keeping backyard chickens has exploded in the last few years. The pandemic only served to accelerate this trend, since people were stuck at home and encouraged to find outdoor activities. Watching your personal flock is a relaxing way to take your mind off the chaos of the outside world, and they are a pet with benefits: delicious, fresh eggs. Observing chickens is a relaxing, mesmerizing way to spend time. People are often surprised by how gregarious and curious chickens can be. Each bird has its own personality. Some are very interested in people, to the point that you can teach them to come when called. They will eat out of your hand and jump up into your lap for pets. Others are more cautious. Some chickens are sneaky and will find an out of the way place to hide and lay their eggs, ignoring the nest box completely. Interacting with your chicks on a daily basis when they are still small can help them grow accustomed to people and being handled, but some hens are just unfriendly. Pet chickens can be a great hobby, but they are by no means low maintenance. Like all animals, they need constant access

to food and water, shelter, and a place to get out and exercise. Chickens will fight, especially if they don’t have enough space. They don’t call it a ‘pecking order’ for no reason. Their enclosure also needs to be secure from predators. Raccoons, opossums, foxes and hawks are all a threat to your flock. Sturdy doors on all entrances and a roof for your pen are a must. Burying the wire for your pen will also help. Keep in mind that most vets will not treat chickens, so you’ll need to handle medical issues yourself. This can range from a foot infection to mites to end of life care. Another reality to come to terms with: keeping chickens attracts rodents. Metal food containers and a treadle feeder can help mitigate this issue. Rodents will chew through plastic, so metal is a must. The treadle feeder minimizes both access and spillage. The platform that opens the feed trough is set to a chicken’s weight, so when the chicken steps on it they can feed, but a rat is too light. You will also need to deal with their poop. Chickens poop 24 hours a day, even while they sleep. This amounts to some serious manure. This accumulation can smell, and if you free range your birds it will be everywhere in your yard. Most coops will need the bedding changed once a month and a deep clean at least twice a year,

usually in spring and fall. Chickens can live ten years, so it’s important to plan accordingly. Egg laying falls off significantly as they age, with the first two years being the most productive. You can increase the size of your flock by twos over time but integrating new birds can be difficult. It’s important to know the rules for your town before spending money. Plenty of places forbid chickens altogether. Others limit the number of birds and the size of your set up.

Winter Lawn Care Tips

inter lawn care for a wide variety of turfgrasses slightly differs from that of spring, summer and fall. Your lawn is no longer in the active growing season. Lawn care in the winter is still just as important as other seasonal maintenance practices as your winter care will greatly determine how well your lawn comes out of dormancy in the spring. When grass is too short, it doesn’t offer as much protection for the base of the grass blades and allows frost to get into the growing areas of your lawn. Keeping this area as protected as possible with slightly taller grass creates a barrier-like protection for the grass blades and stolons. Be careful not to mow your lawn if there’s a lot of moisture from snow or ice as this may damage the grass blades. Make sure the lawn is dry and only mow when temperatures are about 40 degrees. Irrigation maintenance practices during the winter aren’t usually as important in areas that receive rain or snow. You will just need to water your lawn less than the active growing season. Fertilization should generally take place during the active growing seasons such as the spring, summer and fall. There is really not a need to apply fertilizer once temperatures consistently drop below 40 degrees. It’s similar to giving someone a pill while they are sleeping—it won’t be as effective. It’s best to prepare your lawn with the nutrients it needs to survive winter dormancy during the fall. Keep an eye out for winter grass weeds. Applying an herbicide during the winter isn’t always effective since your lawn is dormant, which is why it’s best to apply products preventively in the fall. Most pests are going to be inactive at this time since it’s so cold outside. Oftentimes insects and pests will burrow under objects in the lawn like lawn ornaments, toys that have been left out, weeds, rotted branches, etc. A good way to keep them from overwintering in your lawn and causing damage in the spring again is by removing a lot of these objects from your lawn so that pests don’t have a place to take shelter from the cold. Certain insects like grub worms, ants, fleas, ticks, chinch bugs and spiders are sometimes known to survive during the colder parts of the year if they have places to take shelter.

But a diverse social life is the sort of rare thing worth striving for, especially given your adventurous drives. In each friendship, you’ll have a unique window to the world. You’ll add to your network this week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Mark Twain suggested that “when you can’t get a compliment any other way, pay yourself one.” But why wait for a lull? You’ll be complimented right and left this week, but they aren’t always the kind you most need to hear -- you’re the one most qualified to give those, so do it. Be generous with yourself. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The question of how much to do for your friends and loved ones will arise. Too much can be as bad or worse than not enough. As every baker knows, it’s not just the ingredients but the amounts you deliver that matter. Good measuring can make the difference between a rising cake and a messy flop. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have a sentimental attachment to the things that made you happy when you were small. Revisiting some of these old loves will be a source of comfort, whimsy and insight today. As you get older, you understand your younger self differently. The better you know yourself, the easier it is to mold a happy life. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When it’s fun, you dive in; when it’s hard, you solider on. This is your success secret: You anticipate change, especially in your own motivation levels and how you feel about the work. The bottom line is, if the result is important enough to you, you’ll keep moving forward until you make it happen.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

This solar return brings you a visceral sense that the moment is upon you to do the thing you’ve been dreaming about. Whether it’s a vacation overseas, vehicle upgrade, cooking class or learning to shuffle dance, you’ll stop waiting for the day when you have more money or more time, and you’ll jump in and make it happen. More highlights: creative satisfaction, love that takes your heart on a dizzying ride and a professional success that emboldens you to risk more and win more, too. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have many talents and roles in life, which will be reflected in the varied activities of the week. Expect stark juxtapositions that make you feel like a superhero or spy able to switch in an instant into a completely different person to handle the challenge or seize the opportunity at hand.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your moods will be like steps, connected in an order. Whether you move fast or slow, you’ll move through a whole range on your way to other levels. To jump improbably to different emotional places would be odd. There’s comfort and stability in allowing for incremental change and adjusting expectations accordingly.

South dealer. North-South vulnerable.

Assume you’re in six clubs, and West leads the nine of trump. You win with the ten and continue with the ace, both defenders following suit. How should you continue? If you now draw the one missing trump, you would more or less be basing the success or failure of the slam on a 3-3 spade division. In the actual case, you’d go down one, eventually losing a spade and a heart.

A better line of play (which also fails in the actual case) would be to abandon further trump leads after two rounds and play the K-Q and another spade. This method of play would succeed if East started with a doubleton spade — and it would not matter whether or not he had the missing trump. If he discarded, you could take the ace and safely ruff your fourth spade with dummy’s jack, while if he ruffed, you would play low and later be able to discard a heart from dummy on the ace of spades and eventually ruff a heart. But a third and best approach is to lead a diamond to the ace at trick three, ruff a diamond, lead a spade to the queen, ruff another diamond, then lead a spade to the king and ruff dummy’s last diamond with your last trump. You would then lead a heart to dummy’s king and draw West’s last trump with dummy’s jack, discarding your heart loser. After this, you’d collect the ace of spades and ace of hearts to finish with 12 tricks. Your only loser, by this line of play, would be a spade at the very end. All told, you’d score six trump tricks instead of the obvious five and so make the slam instead of going down one.
