ello, Dear Readers, It’s May! It’s May! The Merry Month of May! It feels so good to go outside without heavy coats and boots, and just breathe — apologies to allergy sufferers. This could be the month people love best, the Goldilocks month: It’s not too hot, it’s not too cold, it’s just right. It gives me great joy to report that this happens to be the spring of our 40th anniversary at TBR News Media. That may not be such a record for a publishing company, but that is also my tenure so far at this job of publisher. It is thrilling to delight in various new products like our Lifestyle magazine. Inside this issue are a number of articles about ways to further enjoy this glorious season. One explains how to prepare for a road trip with your dog. Having the right stuff in the car can make life a lot easier. Another prompts you to take care of yourself while outdoors, with protection from the sun, from insects that bite and from various rashes. There is even advice on how to get rid of any ticks that still may be clinging to your clothes. Long Island is definitely “Fun Island” for kids, and
from the
we prove it with multiple suggestions of activities that kids enjoy—and adults too. These can range from water sites to climbing challenges. There is also a calendar of upcoming events and exhibits for the older kids among us. And there is always boating, biking, fishing and hiking. Swimming anyone? Part of the miracle of the season is the colors of the flowers. Whether you love gardening or just rejoice in the splendor of different hues and textures, go see some really great outdoor gardens tended across the Island by professionals. We’ve listed a few for you. Such trips might give you new ideas besides making your day. There are also outdoor concerts to please the ears, not just the eyes. Then, sooner or later, we all get to food and drink. Outdoor grilling is one of the seasonal joys, and almost anything can be deliciously grilled, including fresh fruits. We’ve picked some wine to go with all that good food, so bottoms up!

uckily, for Long Island parents, when they hear those dreaded words, “I’m bored,” during summer vacation, there are plenty of outdoor activities in the area to keep children out of the house and to satisfy any interest. If your kids love animals, head over to the Long Island Aquarium in Riverhead (www.longislandaquarium.com) where the venue has an outdoor area filled with diverse attractions. According to Darlene Puntillo, director of marketing and advertising, when visitors step outside the building, they can enjoy sea lion shows that are scheduled four times a day, a visit to the Penguin Pavilion where talk and feed sessions are held twice daily, and the chance to discover North American river otters, American alligators and more. The stations provide visitors a great way to learn about the animals, their care and natural habitats as well as how various factors, including global warming, affect the creatures. In the summer for a separate fee, a 90-minute tour boat ride down the Peconic River is available at the aquarium, too. The director explained that the fun and relaxing boat ride has an educator onboard to point out interesting birds and animals in the area. The boat then makes a stop at a private island where participants can explore the spot as well as the water for fish and other animals. For an additional fee, an exhibition center with butterflies, birds and bugs is also on the premises, and while it’s indoors, it gives visitors a better understanding of the creatures they may encounter right in their own backyards. “We have one of the largest living insect zoologies in North America. So, we got all different kinds of bugs. The most venomous, some of the largest, and some of the most beautiful that in history have been turned into jewelry,” Puntillo said. If you’re over in the Smithtown area, Sweetbriar Nature Center (www.sweetbriarnc. org) is another must-see for ani-

According to the center’s program director, Eric Young, there are over 70 animals on the property including owls, falcons, hawks, a bald eagle and fox. The director said that their popular butterfly house will be open once again starting June 11, the day of the center’s Wildlife and Crafts Fair. After enjoying the animals and butterflies, children can participate in a number of activities including a walk along the chipmunk trail to follow the story of a chipmunk looking for his stolen seeds. In addition, when families need time in the shade, they can enter the house on the property and explore the Rainforest Room. Have a child who prefers sports to animals?

or day out at a Long Island Ducks game in Central Islip (www.liducks.com). Michael Pfaff, president and general manager of the Ducks, said a lot goes on between innings with sponsored contests and events, which keep attendees engaged throughout the whole game. He said on any given night sports lovers can find activities such as T-shirt tosses, fans racing the mascot, QuackerJack, around the bases, visitors singing karaoke and more at the game. “It’s interactive with the fans as well so they get to be part of it and have fun,” he said. Pfaff said the team believes in accessibility to not only their field but also their players. On Sundays, before the game, players are out on the field on folding chairs to sign autographs. Pfaff said on other days, visitors can find players giving out autographs by the home dugout on the right field line. If your children need a variety of activities, a day at Country Fair Entertainment and Event Park in Medford (www.countryfairpark.com) will keep them entertained. Michael Di Marco, general manager, said the park offers go-karts, miniature golf, batting cages, a driving range, laser tag and even an inside arcade and restaurant when you need a break from the sun. With all the amusement park’s activities, Di Marco said, “We just hope that people enjoy themselves. We’re in the business to make people happy.” The manager said miniature golf and the figure eight, over and under, go-kart track are the most popular activities at the park. According to Di Marco, streaming waterfalls, ponds, fountains and flowers surround two 18hole mini golf courses. “People like the beauty of that,” he said. As for the go-karts, the manager said they can be enjoyed by both children and adults. There are two-seaters for parents and small children to share, rookie cars for children between 55 and 60 inches and adult cars for those 60 inches and taller. If you have a child that loves challenges, head on over to the Adventure Park at Long Island (www.longislandadventurepark.org). Anthony Wellman, marketing and communications director, said family members of all climbing abilities can tackle aerial trails. The director explained that after an orientation and being secured in a harness, visitors begin at a starting platform where they can choose an aerial trail based on a range of climbing abilities from beginner to advance. With trails of crossings and zip lines creating bridges from one tree to the next throughout the forest, Wellman said, “It’s getting people out into nature.” The youngest climbing age is 7, and people who aren’t participating can enter free of charge, according to Wellman. There are picnic tables, benches and even pads throughout the forest that

parallel the trails in the trees so parents can take photos or younger kids can watch their siblings climbing. Once a participant finishes a trail, they can go back and try it again or try one that is more difficult. Wellman said a visit to the park not only provides the thrill of adventure, “but you also get a sense of achievement when you do this, which is hard to describe. But whenever someone tries something they haven’t done before, and they succeed at it, or even if they don’t succeed, they feel that they have learned something and they come away with feeling really good.” With an abundance of outdoor activities on Long Island, these attractions are only the beginning of a summer full of fun. Just remember before visiting any venue, be prepared and check out their website for pricing, hours and visiting tips.

Easy grilling
on a summer’s day By Rita J. Egan
W
hen it comes to throwing an outdoor get-together for family and friends, some may find themselves stressing over what to put on the grill. However, with just a little expert advice, the cook can enjoy a stress-free day. Jason Burns, chef de cuisine with In Thyme Catered Events, not only grills for parties in New York City and on Long Island but also loves to throw an annual barbecue for his family members and friends. His first advice is to keep cooking outings uncomplicated. “I think it should be simple. It should be more about your family and just having fun and kicking back,” he said. When it comes to the actual grilling, like many experts, Burns recommends that outdoor cooks use a higher heat for thinner meats that cook quickly and a lower heat for thicker cuts. He also suggests putting the grill lid down once you place the food on the grates. “Once you keep the lid down on your grill, you’re keeping in a lot of that smoke and a lot of that heat. A lot of that smoke has flavor in it so you’re searing a really nice flavor into the meat at the same time,” the chef said.

‘When offering a variety of different meats at a barbecue, Burns said he likes to make sliders instead of full-size hamburgers. This way everyone can get a taste of a burger without going overboard.’ —Jason Burns
ay
When offering a variety of different meats at a barbecue, Burns said he likes to make sliders instead of full-size hamburgers. This way everyone can get a taste of a burger without going overboard. He goes for a 3-inch slider from his butcher that is thick and then makes it medium rare. He said the mini burgers on slider buns still have plenty of room for toppings. For those who prefer poultry, the chef suggests making split chicken on the grill. He said an easy marinade is lemon, rosemary, salt and black pepper to taste. Let it marinade overnight, and on the day of the barbecue, put the chicken skin down on a grill with low heat, and let it cook for approximately 15 mintues for a crisp, charred skin. Then, he flips it on the other side for another 15 or 20 minutes. Fish is another easy grilling dish when outdoor chefs are looking for an option outside of the typical steaks, hamburgers and hot dogs, according to Burns. He suggests using a meaty fish, about 1 inch thick, such as swordfish, and to make sure it’s fresh not frozen. He seasons it with a little fresh oregano, lemon zest, a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Once on the grill, he leaves it for 30 seconds before turning it to get nice grill marks. The chef said another great choice is making a pizza at your
barbecue. Burns said he puts a pre-made crust or pita bread brushed with olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary and garlic on the grill. Once the crust starts getting crispy, the cook can add whatever toppings his guests desire. For the perfect finishing touch to any outdoor cooking session, Burns stops by his local farmers market for the freshest vegetables. He said meaty vegetables such as asparagus, red pepper, green or yellow squash, zucchini as well as corn on the cob can be put right on the grill. He also likes buying cherry tomatoes to make a fresh salsa for chips. Myra Naseem, owner of Elegant Eating in Smithtown, loves grilling fruit for a fun addition to any barbecue. The caterer said the first tip when grilling fruit or anything is to begin with a clean, freshly oiled grill grate. Fruit should also be ripe but firm enough to hold its shape when exposed to heat. For an easy dessert, she suggests brushing slices of peaches, bananas or pineapples with melted butter, then sprinkling with sugar and spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg before direct grilling over high heat. The caterer said that indirect grilling is better for dense, whole, round
fruits, like apples and pears, which are also delicious smoke-roasted whole in the skin and then stuffed with butter, brown sugar and cookie crumbs. Burns agreed that grilling fruit is great for barbecues. He likes to brush peach halves with a bit of honey, and then he puts the honey side of the peaches down on the grill for a minute or so. The chef then adds berry sauce made with fresh raspberries in the center and tops
it off with ice cream. He said even cocktails can get in on the grilling, and he suggests mixing things up when it comes to cocktails like mojitos. Burns said before adding limes to the drinks, cut the fruits in half and dip into a natural brown sugar and then put on the grill. The sugar will caramelize into the lime, and the fruit will char and pick up a deeper flavor. The chef said party throwers can find a ton of great ideas online for a fun and simple barbecue. “There’s really no end to what you can do on a grill,” Burns said.

SPF of 30, “although it is true that once you get up to higher levels of SPF like 75 or 80, there’s really no difference in the amount of protection you get.” For those unsure whether or not to slather it on, “you should use one ounce of sunscreen for each exposed area,” Dr. Kalabacas said, “so that’s one ounce for each arm and each leg, one ounce for the face, and another ounce for the chest.” Use a water-resistant, broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays, with frequent reapplication. Zika virus, West Nile and Lyme disease are topics Dr. Kalabacas’s patients ask her about. She tells them that Zika virus is “more of a concern when traveling abroad. And pregnant women who are traveling have to be careful.” All three are transmitted by insects — Zika and West Nile by mosquitos and Lyme disease by ticks. “Wear insect repellent, and protect yourself with long sleeves and pants,” she advises. Symptoms of Zika virus typically are broad and general, Dr. Kalabacas said. “If you’ve been traveling abroad, and now you have an acute rash, muscle aches and headache, and possibly joint pain, see your doctor.”
‘See your doctor if the poison ivy rash is on your face. The face is more sensitive to infection. Also you want to make sure it doesn’t go near the eyes or inside the mouth.’ Gardening brings many pleasures. Poison ivy is not one of them. To prevent it, “always wear gloves,” Dr. Kalabacas said, “and pay attention to how you take them off. You don’t want to touch the outside of the gloves, because if you’ve touched poison ivy, the oil of the plant will be on the gloves.” She tells her patients to wash the gloves or use disposable ones. If you get a poison ivy rash, over-the-counter medications like cortisone lotion or calamine lotion for the rash and Benadryl for a bad itch are fine.

But see your doctor if the poison ivy rash is on your face. “The face is more sensitive to infection,” she said. “Also you want to make sure it doesn’t go near the eyes or inside the mouth.” And what about that old advisory about waiting an hour to swim after a meal? Relax — turns out it’s just a myth. “That’s false,” Dr. Kalabacas said. “I’m not sure how that got started.” It’s true that blood goes to your stomach after you eat, to help digestion. “But it’s not a major concern, if you’re thinking about swimming.”

‘You should use one ounce of sunscreen for each exposed area, so that’s one ounce for each arm and each leg, one ounce for the face, and another ounce for the chest. Use a water resistant, broad spectrum sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays, with frequent reapplication.’
Besides protecting yourself from ticks when you’re outdoors, it’s important to follow up when you get home, she said. If you’ve been in a wooded area, or a place with tall grass, “remove your clothing and put them in a dryer set on ‘high’ for 20 minutes,” she said. “That will kill any ticks that may be hanging around. You wouldn’t want the ticks to get on another person in the house or on your pets.” Do a skin check. If you find a tick, remove it immediately. “Grasp it with a fine tipped tweezer, and go as close to the skin as possible,” the doctor instructed. “You gently and forcefully kind of wiggle and pull back at the same time, to remove it.” When should you practice self-care with ticks, and when is it time to go to the doctor? If the tick is already engorged, it’s had time to start transmitting the Lyme disease virus to you, so you should see your doctor, she advised. Keep an eye out for the typical “bullseye,” target-shaped rash associated with Lyme disease, but be aware that it only appears at the actual site of the tick bite 80 percent of the time, Dr. Kalabacas said. If you have the rash, joint pain, muscle aches and a mild headache, “that’s the time when you need to see your doctor,” Dr. Kalabacas said.

ven in times of a still-recovering economy, Long Islanders find ways to enjoy themselves — and never more so than during the warm weather months. South Shore Boat Yard owner Bill Tunney doesn’t see people buying new boats so much lately. But the slips are full up at his Patchogue boatyard and business is good. “Boaters are happy about the price of fuel now. It’s not hurting their pocketbook too much to use their boat,” he said. Recreational fishing has been good, too, in recent years, Tunney reported. “We had a great fall last year. A big body of striped bass came into the Great South Bay and stayed for six weeks.” Tunney thinks the unexpected bounty came from the changes carved in Moriches Inlet when Superstorm Sandy paid a visit. Whatever the reason, “a lot of people are excited to get going with fishing this year,” he said. Boaters have some concerns, though, even when things are going well, Tunney said. “We would love to see more dredging locally,” he noted. “The mouths of some of the creeks could definitely use some work, without a doubt.” But the shallower depths aren’t putting a damper on boating. “People are aware of it. But it doesn’t stop them” from taking their boats out, he said. Mostly Tunney and his staff “are just happy to be in Patchogue. This place has really grown.” Christina Biglin Cone, a

board member of Live Love Velo (www.livelovevelo.com) — a women’s bicycling club and racing team – said the group tells their members to be aware of certain aspects of summertime road riding. It’s “definitely sketchy” to ride when the sun is rising or setting, she said, because at that time of day the sun will be in the eyes of cyclists and motorists. Morning and evening shadows make for poor visibility, Cone said. She recommends riding in groups. “I really do think it’s better when you have people to go with. It helps with visibility in traffic and also if you have mechanical issues with the bike while you’re out riding.” Use sunscreen, and keep hydrated, Cone said. “Some coaches say that in the heat you should take a sip – four ounces – of water every 15 minutes.” Cone also uses electrolyte replenishing fluids on really hot days. Mountain biking is growing in popularity on Long Island. “It can give people a safe way to go places they don’t normally go and see things they don’t normally see,” said Bob Mueller. Mueller is a board member and trail ambassador for Concerned Long Island Mountain Bicyclists (CLIMB, www.bicyclelongisland.org), an organization that constructs and maintains bike trails and builds a relationship between recreation and conservation. Riding off the beaten track gives mountain bikers a chance “to see different species and different landscapes,” Mueller said. “When we’re out there riding, we really get to understand the flora and fauna and geology of Long Island.”
Boating, biking, fishing, hiking and more summer fun Riding fatbikes – offroad bikes with oversized tires made for riding on softer surfaces like sand or snow – is also becoming more popular in our area, Mueller said. “In some ways they’re more beginner-friendly, and more forgiving on a lot of terrain” he pointed out. Long Island has always been a great place to hike, said David Reisfield, president of the Long Island Greenbelt Trail Conference (www.ligreenbelt.org). The group run hikes throughout the region, creates new trails, and works on conservation issues with state and county
parks officials. “Ninety percent of our hikes are on mostly flat land,” he said. “We do get our diehards who really like the hills, like in Cold Spring Harbor and Manorville.” What is it about hiking that attracts people? “It’s virtually free. Also, there’s a lot of camaraderie,” Reisfield said. “People contact each other before a hike” and make plans to meet up on the trail, he said. And of course, said Reisfield, hiking is good exercise. “It’s better than sitting behind a desk, let’s put it that way.”

Celebrate life with music & nature By SuSan RiSoli
Summer on Long Island brings outdoor music performances. And local musicians say digging the show, appreciating the environment and building community are all one and the same. Musician Jack Licitra calls life lived outdoors “the heart of Long Island.” As owner/ director of Bayport music education center South Bay Arts, Licitra teaches kids to make sounds with “found instruments” from their surroundings – sticks, pine cones, rocks and hollowed-out logs. “Kids’ brains are recharging during the summer, so they can connect to their imaginations then,” he said. Adults, too, can benefit from the connection between being outside and feeling enraptured by music, he said, because “just as there’s a rhythm to music, there’s also a rhythm to nature, so music just feels and sounds its best there.” After a tough winter “when we’ve all been working and studying hard, the chance to celebrate life is what outdoor concerts offer and people are looking for.” Licitra, who will perform with his band Jack’s Waterfall June 17 at the Boulton Center in Bay Shore, said the Woodstock spirit of grooving outdoors lives on. “There was an awakening in that generation, and from the heyday of the Long Island music scene,” he said, “and aspects of that are still around.” Some musicians have found a way to combine outdoor gigs with helping hungry families in the region. The Organization of Open Mic Performing Artists “sings for someone’s supper,” said founder Kenn Machin. OOMPA members hold musical food drives in front of supermarkets. The all-day, all-volunteer shows entertain grocery shoppers, who donate food and toiletries to the cause as they exit the store. Sometimes the shoppers linger, to dance and sing along with the performers, or to make a request for a favorite tune. Machin said that on average, each show collects approximately 1,000 pounds of food, which is donated to a food pantry near the supermarket. “We have

provided to Island Harvest,” he said, “but our preference is to give directly to the local food pantries in the area we’re serving that day, in order to quickly help restock their shelves.” For the musicians, at first the “biggest thrill of doing a food drive” was the chance to have fun in the summer sun and play for a steady stream of passersby, said OOMPA member Spencer Gould. “But now, that thrill has been replaced with a deeper bonding with the other volunteers, while doing something good for the com-

munity. It’s satisfying on so many levels.” Would you go to a concert where pigs and sheep and goats are eating their dinner nearby? Why not? Benner’s Farm in Setauket opens its pasture ,during the summer, for a weekly series of sundown shows. The combination of outdoor music and farm life is a perfect fit, said owners Jean and Bob Benner. “The whole purpose of the farm is to try and preserve the processes of the old ways people did things,” said Bob, “and that includes old-fashioned entertainment. When people in bygone eras got together for a party or a dance, “they made music, and that’s what we’re doing here.” Benner’s Farm “changes at night, and becomes really magical,” said Jean Benner. “To enjoy music outside while the animals are going in for the night, and the greenhouse is lit up, and you look up and see the stars and the moon — we want to keep that going. When the animals chime in with their own chorus of barnyard sounds, “people are just charmed by it. It helps everyone be in a lighter spirit, because of the ambience and the setting.”

Examples might be fish cooked in or served with some drawn butter like lobster, steamers, scallops and crab; or fish that has seen time on the grill or in the broiler and its top is nicely toasted or browned. Salmon is another winner because of the rich, buttery texture, which pairs nicely with chardonnay. Fish contains oil and wines (white and red) with good acidity cut the fat in seafood. Think for a moment why you add lemon juice to fish — to balance the oils. (If you said because it lessens the fishy smell or taste, you are eating old fish.) Full-bodied red wines like cabernet sauvignon are a natural for heavier, full cuts of meat, like steak, ribs, veal or pork chops. However, a full-bodied red wine served outdoors during an afternoon barbecue in August tastes horrible when its internal temperature reaches 85°F. Warm red wine feels heavy in the mouth.

Putting together a to-go bag for your dog BY ELLEN BARCEL
G
etting out in the great outdoors is wonderful for humans. If you’re going by car and plan to take your dog with you, it’s helpful to have a to-go bag, with necessary items, for him. Depending on the length of the trip, tailor the lists below. For one day or less, you probably don’t need the crate; but, depending on where you’re going, it may prove use-
ful. For multiple days defi nitely consider it. For part of one day, you may not need the food but will defi nitely need the water bowl and bottle of water. If your dog is large enough and can manage it, get a “saddle bag,” which he can wear and which carries at least some of the needed stuff. If you need more for a longer tip, for example, or because of size or age the dog can’t manage it, get a tote bag that you or one of the other humans can carry. The basic to-
BASIC TO-GO BAG, FOR A FEW HOURS OR DAY TRIP Bowl(s) (collapsible, lightweight) or their equivalent (recycled plastic containers,
for example), one for food and one for water.
Your veterinarian’s phone number (in case of an emergency). Enough water for the trip (or enough till you reach your destination and can
get more). An empty plastic juice or milk bottle is very useful here.
Food if you’re going to be gone beyond his normal feeding time.
But, if your dog gets car sick, better wait until you’re home.
A roll of hand towels (stored in a sealable plastic bag). Extra plastic bags for all sorts of uses. Pooper scooper. Dog toys (chews are great and, of course, most dogs love to
chase balls) and dog treats.
A harness that can be clipped into the seat belt of the car.
It’s really safest to have the dog ride in the back seat. He or she shouldn’t be jumping on the driver’s lap; and, if there is any kind of sudden stop, the seat belt will restrain him, keeping him as well as humans safe.
MULTIPLE DAY CAR TRIP
Add any or all of the following to the above list as needed. Collapsible, lightweight dog crate. Your dog’s favorite bedding. Dog food (enough for the entire trip if you’re not going to be near stores or enough to keep Fido happy until you reach your destination and can buy more). Any medications your dog routinely takes. Don’t forget the heart worm meds if you’ll be gone past the next due date. If your dog gets car sick, bring whatever medication your veterinary recommends. Your dog’s towels — help for a rainy day or if pup gets wet or finds some great mud to roll around in. Make sure that you have used whatever flea and tick guard you normally use. If you’re going to be away past the next application date, make sure you have a supply with you. Dog brush since dogs tend to get into all kinds of dirty stuff like leaves, twigs, burrs, etc. A flashlight is useful to have in your car in general, but really needed for night dog walks.

go bag is also good as an emergency bag for evacuations in storms, etc. It’s very useful to have your dog microchipped — carry the number with you and make sure he or she has the tag attached to his collar. It’s also a good idea for longer trips to carry your dog’s rabies vaccination certificate with you. Naturally, check ahead to make sure your dog is welcome, whether it be a family reunion, a hiking location or a motel.
