TOP STORY

Port Washington’s ENL Department Buries Time Capsule HANNAH DEVLIN portwashingtonnews@antonmediagroup.com

P

ort Washington School District’s ENL (English as a New Language) Department gathered in celebration of their Time Capsule Project. The project, a collaboration with Multicultural Voices, aimed to give students the opportunity to share their experiences throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Like their peers, ENL students faced many challenges throughout the pandemic. To provide insight into what it was like assimilating to a new country during the height of the pandemic, Weber Middle School and Schreiber High School ENL students have filled a time capsule with letters, videos and mementos that will be opened in 50 years.

Every student wrote a letter to the future class of 2072 and included personalized items and photographs alongside their writing.

To celebrate the burial of the time capsule, the ENL Department hosted a ceremony attended by students and their families, departmental teachers, district administration and elected officials.

To begin the celebration, Multicultural Voices’ Program Director and Developer Elise May greeted everyone in attendance. As a first-generation American, May explained that she created the Multicultural Voices Program to tend to the needs of young people who have been uprooted from their lives and unable to communicate. The program uses theatrical storytelling as a vehicle for students to express themselves and share their stories using dance and movement.

After May’s introduction to the project, Senator Anna Kaplan spoke. As a child refugee, Kaplan experienced the struggle of moving to a new country without knowing the language.

“I look at each and every one of you, and I see myself coming to this country and starting a new life,” Kaplan told the students.

After her speech, Kaplan presented the project with a citation alongside Assemblywoman Gina Sillitti.

Following the citation, Superintendent Dr. Michael Hynes spoke, thanking ENL Department Director Priscilla Zárate, ENL teachers and Elise May for their work on the project.

“In the year that [Zárate] has been here, she’s really worked so tirelessly to transform our ENL department, and we are so thrilled, not only that [she’s] here but that we have this project in front of us,” Hynes said.

Although Zárate has only served as Port Washington School District’s ENL Director for the past year, she has contributed to ENL education for the past 24 years.

On her transition to a new district, Zárate explains, “The needs of our students are still the same. The challenges are still the same. They’re still adapting to a new culture, a new educational system and learning a new language while still having to succeed

academically and linguistically.”

After Dr. Hynes spoke, Zárate, alongside Weber and Schreiber ENL teachers, talked about their experiences with the project and the impact of the pandemic on English language learners. Accompanying standard challenges, such as academic burnout and online obstacles, ENL students had to navigate learning a new country, school district and language. The time capsule project serves as a space to share their personal stories and hardships while celebrating their resilience and adaptation.

Following the teachers, Weber and Schreiber students shared some of their letters.

Each letter began the same way: “Dear Student of 2072, The years 2020 and 2021 were not what we expected. We want to share what it was like; the good and the bad. The happy, the sad.”

After each student read the introduction, they shared a good moment, a challenging moment and what they put in the time capsule. Objects ranged from student-made artwork, jewelry gifted by friends and family, stuffed animals that were a source of comfort, articles from school newspapers, flags from their home countries, pictures, etc.

Student speakers included Steven Ayala Calderon, Guelinton Ramirez Hernandez,

Superintendent Dr. Michael Hynes participating in burying the time capsule.

Yordin Hernandez Alay and Lucia Reyes Carmona from Schreiber, and Luis Alana Acuna, Mayori (Jimena) Campos Rodas, Alberto Bracamonte Marroquin and Samantha Zhirzhan from Weber.

Alana, a seventh-grader at Weber, explains that he is excited “to share [his] experiences so students in the future will see [his] letters.”

For Alana, soccer was a great outlet and helped him focus on the good. It’s a very popular sport in his home country, Ecuador, and playing it in a new country helped him feel more connected.

After students had the opportunity to share their writing, the time capsule was ready to be buried. As the ceremony drew to a close, each ENL student and teacher, as well as Dr. Hynes, helped bury it.

The time capsule allowed students to share aspects of their lives that were difficult, as well as aspects that were rewarding.

“It was an amazing opportunity to have that voice and share their stories,” Zárate said.

The project provides first-hand accounts of how English language learners adapted during the pandemic, and it will hopefully allow students in 2072 to learn from the past.

1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc., founded by Port Washington resident Jim McCann, has been named to the 2022 Fortune 1000 list.

It marks the company’s first year on this prestigious list, which ranks America’s most prominent organizations as measured by total revenue. Jim and his brother Chris have grown the company from its humble beginnings in 1976 to now being among America’s 1000 largest organizations, rooted right here on Long Island.

“We are honored to be named to the prestigious 2022 Fortune 1000 list. This reflects the dedication and hard work of our team members across the country,” said Jim McCann, Founder and Chairman of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. “It is thrilling for me to see what began with a single flower shop transform into a multi-billion-dollar enterprise that is focused on inspiring our community of customers to give more,

connect more and build more and better relationships.”

Jim bought and ran his first floral shop in Manhattan in 1976 with big ambitions. The Jim McCann, Founder store was initially and Chairman of named Flora 1-800-FLOWERS.COM. Plenty, but after the company acquired the 1-800-Flowers phone number, the company was renamed.

Homework Help Program At The United Methodist Church On June 16, The United Methodist Church of Port Washington completed its first offering of a non-denominational Homework Help Program that provided free, end-of-academic-year tutoring. The program enrolled 14 students from Carrie Palmer Weber Middle School who met with tutors for 4 weeks. Volunteer tutors helped students with their homework and then with studying for final exams. The expectation is that this pilot program will be followed by a larger program in the fall that will include more students from a larger range of grades.

Tutors for the pilot program were enlisted from the Methodist Church and the general community. The Port Washington program is modeled after a similar program that has been underway for several years at St. Paul and St. Andrew United Methodist Church on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

Students and tutors report that they have enjoyed the experience. A sixth grader said, “When I had trouble understanding math homework, the tutors prepared me for the test and my grade improved.”

Michael Marmor, a tutor, said, “Reading about all the problems kids have had with school during COVID-19 was difficult. It has been hugely gratifying to meet these students and give them a hand.”

Another tutor, Marika Knight, said, “It is

Although the program takes place in the United Methodist Church, it has been completely non-denominational and open to all, irrespective of religion, race,

ethnicity or gender.

The main goals according to Pastor Romi Abelova have been to provide service to the community, build upon Port Washington’s already strong sense of community, and provide support to students.

PORT WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT IMPROVEMENTS

2022 SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

JUNE 24

JULY 16

JULY 23

AUGUST 19

It is June, 2022 and after 11 months as a school Board of Education (BOE) member I wanted to share a list of accomplishments that have improved the Port Washington School District this year. This has been a complicated year, but our district, educators, administrators, support staff, students and families have made it a great one.

1. While some school districts in New Jersey closed school during the Omicron outbreak in January, our schools were open EVERY SINGLE DAY. 2. For the year 2022-2023 we have replaced half-day conference days, giving the students and their families a more consistent schedule while retaining time for teacher conferences.

3. We now have a Vision and Mission Statement plus a strategic plan. That is a first for Port Washington.

4. We are in the first phases of establishing an after school care option at each of the five elementary schools, so students do not have to be bused and can stay at their home school. One parent described this to me as a “game-changer” We believe it will be.

5. We passed a capital reserve, which basically means we can formally save money for things like roof replacement and ventilation improvements that we know are coming.

This is just good governance.

6. Notes from the school board meetings come out after each meeting. That way, families can tune in briefly, reading a report instead of having to watch for 2 hours (or more!). All meetings are live-streamed and we finally fixed the sound!

I am very proud of the work that this re-invigorated Board of Education has done in the 2021-2022 school year. We are looking forward to continuing to improve the district and thank you for your support of the district and all of our programs. Dr. Hynes has been 100% focused on his passion for education instead of COVID-19 this past year, and with new leadership in several of our schools this an exciting time. I am confident that the seven BOE members really represent Port Washington’s best interests and come together from a variety of perspectives to make good, balanced policy and an effective budget.

I look forward to hearing from all of you. It is your comments and suggestions that guide the priorities of our school, so email me at adamblock@portnet.org. I have met so many of you this year by phone or for coffee and a bagel and look forward to meeting more of you this coming year. Have a great summer!

PRIDE FLAGS ON MAIN STREET The Pride flags on Main Street are a beautiful reflection of Port Washington’s diversity and inclusivity. Thank you to Be The Rainbow, the local LGBTQIA+ nonprofit (betherainbowinc.org) that raised the money through private donations to have the flags displayed during Pride month in agreement with the Town of North Hempstead.

At the Town level, the initiative was led by Councilwoman Mariann Dalimonte. Kazan Designs donated its time to install the flags. Last year, Be The Rainbow sponsored 30 flag; this year, there are more than 100 flying on Main Street. Be The Rainbow is also responsible for the hundreds of Pride lawn signs purchased by homeowners, and the 2nd Annual Pride Walk and Concert on June 11, among other efforts. Thank you to Be The Rainbow for highlighting Port’s true colors!

While at a concert at the Sousa Band Shell (Sunset Park), an indentation beckoned to be discovered. Pushing aside the grassy soil, a bronze dedication plaque showed itself. The recipient was none other than Gay Pearsall, “Ms Bandshell” herself.

She was the instrumental figure in collecting funds, in a coffee can no less, during program intermissions.

This citation given by the Port Washington Chamber of Commerce reads: “In memory of Gay Pearsall founder of the John Philip Sousa Memorial Bandshell 1986.”

Eager to have citizenship recognized again with thanks for all the enjoyment the Band Shell provides, the Port Washington Garden Club has restored the site with a lovely Pin Oak tree generously donated and planted by L & K Dileo Landscaping.

Margaret A. Dildilian Margaret A. Dildilian, 92, a resident of Port Washington for over 50 years, passed away peacefully on June 3, 2022. She was preceded in death by her husband, Armen A. Dildilian, her parents, Yenovk and Zabel Ashdaragentz, and her brother, Oshen M. Ashton.

Margaret was born in Chicago in 1930, a child of the Great Depression, raised in an immigrant Armenian family. Margaret finished her senior year of high school in San Francisco, where she and her mother had moved prior to Margaret’s wedding to Armen at the age of 18. As a young woman, Margaret worked at the California State Automobile Association, and then started her family at the age of 24. Margaret and Armen moved to Palo Alto in 1955, and then to Port Washington, New York in 1969.

A life-long learner, Margaret pursued evening classes at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills, Calif. while raising her children, and continued her education after moving to New York, where she earned her B.A. in English from Queens College in 1978.

Margaret was known in her Beacon Hill neighborhood of Port Washington for her kindness and generosity of spirit, and for her strong sense of community. She worked at Schreiber High School as an assistant librarian, volunteered at the Port Washington Library as an interviewer for an oral history project, and was an active member of the Beacon Hill Residents Association, where she took pride in her special care for the Beacon Hill Beach. She loved music, kept up her Metropolitan Opera subscription well into her 80’s, and sang in the choir at the Congregational Church of Manhasset. Margaret was an ardent supporter of Armenian causes, and at her death had been the longest-term member of the San Francisco Daughters of Vartan – since 1948.

She is survived by her children, Karen Dildilian Tartell (Ross of Wilton, Conn., and Grant A. Dildilian (Lynn) of Torrance, Calif.; her two cherished grandchildren, Michael A. Tartell and Reef C. Dildilian; and her nephew, John C. Ashton.

A Memorial Service Will Be Held On Saturday, July 9 at 11:00 a.m. at the Congregational Church of Manhasset 1845 Northern Blvd., Manhasset, NY.

Donations in her memory may be made to

Fresno State Foundation Armenian Studies Program, mailed to Fresno State, 5244 N. Jackson Ave., KC45, Fresno, CA 93740-8023 or to Calvary Armenian Congregational Church, 725 Brotherhood Way, San Francisco, CA 94132-2902.

nything born in a kitchen is always a good thing. Take, for example, a comforting homecooked meal, a delectable slice of homemade bread hot from the oven or even a fabulous idea for something new and unrelated to anything that came out of the pantry. In the case of Barbara Herel, the kitchen was the birthplace of her original show and later podcast, Every Family’s Got One. Every Family’s Got One, or EFGO, was an idea conceived

by Herel after the close of a show she had done with a New York City producing team several years ago. She had just come off the show, Listen to Your Mother, in which she performed and assisted in curating the show. Listen to Your Mother enabled Herel, a stand-up improvisational comedian, to find her roots.

“I loved being part of something that allowed me to write and be part of something that seemed relatable,” she explained. “Once that show ended, I wanted to figure out how I could start my own show in my own community.

I began to think about family experiences. I come from a family with a lot of personality, and I wondered how I could create something that would get people talking.

Basically, the idea just came to me in my kitchen. It felt right.”

In 2018, the first production of Every Family’s Got One launched. The traveling troupe found a stage in Huntington as well as the stage at My Father’s Place in Roslyn. When the pandemic hit, Herel still wanted to get stories out to her audience, so she started a podcast with the same name. EFGO is currently in its third year.

“We have long-time and first-time storytellers in our cast. We do a writer’s workshop to help cast members

refine their stories,” she said.

“We have MOTH and RISK! storytellers in the show as well. They are basically just telling a story about their personal experiences. The hope is that someone in the audience will relate to it. And by relating to it, this will get people talking and off their phones.”

The importance of socializing in a world where most folks live on electronic devices helps to connect members of society and helps to ward off the feeling of isolation.

“It’s also about how people define their own ‘family’,” Herel pointed out. “Is it a group of friends? Is it the people with whom you work?

Could ‘family’ be your pets?

These are truly passionate stories that we pass down through generations and we want to feel like we’re related to those stories.” MOTH Storytelling is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the art of storytelling, while RISK! Storytellers tell true stories that they never thought they would share with the public.

EFGO brings true family stories from storytellers that are heartwarming, at times hilarious, cringe-worthy and even unexpected.

Herel always wanted to collaborate and work with her best friend of 45 years, Dawn Nagle, a local artist.

Nagle, who was born in New York and lived in Colorado for more than a decade, curated art shows in Denver. When she moved back to New York, she focused on her own artwork.

“I was part of an exhibition at the Southampton Community Center and it got me thinking about how much I love to draw people in with events,” Nagle said. “I wanted to get artists together and give them a sense of community. When I saw the beautiful stage at SHCC with a gallery for artwork, I couldn’t wait to talk to Barbara about it. A band was playing in the background, and I thought that it would have been a great idea if we had collaborated to get people in to see both

the band and the artists at the gallery.” Dawn discussed the idea of combining both the art community with Barbara’s show. The idea took off from there.

Nagle did a call for artists for the show and 17 local artists from as far away as New York City responded.

Two college students and two high school students were included in the group because Dawn wanted to give them a positive experience and be involved with the more seasoned artists who would be part of the exhibition. “We have a dynamic, diverse group of local talent,” Nagle said. “They are getting to know each other through social media and are becoming a ‘family’ of sorts. This is the thing that I missed most about curating shows: the sense of camaraderie. It’s my hope that I can keep this group together and build upon it. I would also like to do something online with this group. It’s so important to give back to the community.”

Herel and Nagle found great joy in the planning stages of the event. According to Herel, “What I love most about our show is finding the best stories. When you get up on stage and tell a story about your family, it’s relatable. We help the cast with their performance through coaching, which enables them to really connect with the audience.

We’ve allowed people to use notes so they aren’t stressed about memorizing lines. It’s about a really great story, and we have those great stories in this show.” Some topics range from romantic stories that ended hilariously in a massage parlor to the nightmare of a Thanksgiving dinner gone bad to family secrets that were never shared publicly.

“We have heartwarming stories in EFGO and we have people who have found their voice,” Herel said. “These are well-crafted stories that I absolutely love because it gets people to talk to each other and relate to the performers with their own experiences.

And then we have the artwork, which is stunning. I can’t find another word for it, because we have such diverse artists who will have their work in the gallery. And I am having so much fun planning this with Dawn.” The idea of combining both the art in the gallery and the storytelling was to build an art community that supported each other as well as connecting people together in a relatable and heartwarming way.

The eventual plan for both Herel and Nagel is to find a home for their collaborative show. As Herel observed, “We’re trying to get the momentum going so people know about the show. The fun of it is just putting it out there. Dawn is so connected to people in the art world, and I’m so grateful for the experience. People love to perform. I love bringing this show to the community.”

The event will be held on June 25 at the Southampton Community Center. The gallery will open with a reception from 4 pm to 8 p.m. that will include hors-d’oeuvres and beverages with a meet-andgreet of 17 accomplished, dynamic New York artists and more than 65 exceptional pieces of art. The exhibition, “Live and In Person: A Celebration of NY Artists” will run from June 25 through July 17. At 7 p.m., ticketholders will be invited to meet with artists and cast members in the gallery with light snacks and drinks. Every Family’s Got One will begin at 8 p.m. and will run for approximately 90 minutes. There will also be raffles for two giveaways during the event.

Guidance Center Hosts 25th Annual Krevat Cup Event honoring founder Jeff Krevat raises $150,000 to support children’s mental health

T

he North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center, the pre-eminent not-for-profit children’s mental health agency on Long Island, celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Jonathan Krevat Memorial Golf & Tennis Classic on June 6, at one of Nassau County’s finest courses, the elegant Engineers Country Club in Roslyn Harbor.

The event raised $150,000 to support the Guidance Center’s work to bring hope and healing to children and families dealing with mental health or substance use challenges. More than $25,000 in additional funds were raised for the Guidance Center’s Douglas S. Feldman Suicide Prevention Project, another life-saving initiative that launched in September 2020.

This year, the event honored Jeff Krevat, a longtime supporter of the Guidance Center and founder of the Krevat Cup, which is named in honor of his brother.

“The mission of the Guidance Center is more important than ever before, with children and teens suffering from serious mental health challenges,” former board member Krevat said. “I am grateful to my friends and family for coming out to honor my brother’s legacy and support an organization that makes a real difference for the kids in our community.”

This year’s guest speaker was Rachel Priest, a mental health professional who was a Guidance Center client in her teen years.

She told the audience, “The life-affirming

care I received from the Guidance Center saved my life. I was able to accomplish wonderful things over the years both socially and academically” because of the dedication, skills and compassion of her

Guidance Center therapists. “Knowing that the care I received over 20 years ago is still available and expanding lets me know that the Guidance Center is still changing lives every day.”

Once again, the co-chairs for this year’s Krevat Cup were board members Michael Mondiello, Dan Oliver, Michael Schnepper and Troy Slade. In addition, Dan Donnelly served as the event’s emcee and auctioneer extraordinaire.

“It’s all about the kids,” said Donnelly, a longtime supporter of the Guidance Center, as well as a previous Krevat Cup honoree and a close friend of Jeff Krevat’s.

“I consider it a privilege to be here today to help raise money to support the incredible work that truly makes a difference in the lives of children and their families.”

The Guidance Center is grateful to the Krevat Cup’s sponsors: Susan and Jeff Krevat, Americana Manhasset, Aon Reinsurance Solutions, Dan Donnelly, PSEG Long Island, Bahnik Foundation, Susan and Peter Braverman, Klipper Family Foundation, City National Rochdale, The Levine Group Inc., Newmark and Rivkin Radler LLP. —Submitted by the North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center

LETTER TO THE EDITOR PROBLEM GAMBLING AND MENTAL HEALTH Mental health is a vital topic in all reaches of Long Island right now. In the face of national tragedy and nearly ongoing bad news, for many, maintaining their mental wellness can be a daily challenge.

As a form of escape or coping, many turn to gambling to overcome mental health struggles.

Now readily available on a mobile device, gambling opportunities are seemingly endless. More than 800,000 New Yorkers have

experienced a gambling problem in the past year. The fallout can include sleep issues, strain on relationships with loved ones, financial problems and poor work performance.

People who struggle with problem gambling are also at a higher risk for other mental health struggles. Gambling disorder often occurs with anxiety, depression, and mood disorders.

On top of that, gambling disorder has the highest suicide rate

among all addictions. Nearly 50 percent of people struggling with gambling disorder have thoughts of suicide (Moghaddam, et al, 2014). And one in five has attempted and/or died by suicide (Petry, 2000).

If you or someone you love is exhibiting warning signs such as preoccupation with gambling; feeling stressed or anxious when not gambling; low work performance or absence due to gambling; or lying to family and

friends about how much money and time is spent on gambling, it’s time to reach out to the Long Island Problem Gambling Resource Center.

NYMTC will decide in coming months how almost $2 billion in FTA formula funding and billions more in Federal Highway Administration (FTA) funding will be distributed among the voting members. They also vote on adopting the annual federal required Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). All transportation agency transit and highway projects, including those from Nassau County, must be included on the approved TIP and any TIP amendments. It is one of many legal requirements before federal funding can be approved for a transit or highway project.

FTA recipients such as Nassau County can also choose to spend whatever they receive under their share of federal Fiscal Year 2022 Section 5307 Urbanized Area $6.4 billion; 5339 Bus and Bus Facilities $601 million and Section 5310 Enhanced Mobility of Seniors & Individuals With Disabilities $422 million. Nassau County can also apply for grants under various national discretionary competitive FTA grant

programs. This includes Section 5339 Bus and Bus Facilities $546 million; Section 5339(c) Low or No Emissions $1.1 billion; Transit Oriented Development Planning $13 million; and Pilot Program for Innovative Coordinated Access Mobility $4.6 million.

Nassau County needs to convince the MTA to apply for grants under various national competitive grant programs that can benefit LIRR commuters. This includes Section 5337 State of Good Repair Replacement $300 million and Capital Investment New Starts or Core Capacity grants $3.8 billion. The Federal Highway Administration has funding under several programs including Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ), Surface Transportation Program (STP) and others which can be flexed or transferred to FTA can also finance capital projects.

Nassau County can also apply for capital grants from the state Department of Transportation to assist in funding. Albany also provides State Transportation Operating Assistance (STOA).

Ridership on any transit service generates yearly federal transportation capital assistance via the annual FTA Section 15 annual reporting process. Nassau Inter County Express (NICE) Bus could not financially survive without government subsidy.

The MTA is counting on several billion dollars more out of the $1.2 Trillion Build Back America Infrastructure bill. These dollars and projects will have to be adopted and amended into the ongoing Five Year Capital Plan in the next two years. This four-member committee is composed of one representative appointed by Governor Hochul, Senate Majority leader Andrea Stewart Cousins, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The mayor’s representative can only vote on New York City projects. Democrats control all four votes. Blakeman must insist that members of the Nassau County State Assembly and State Senate work with the MTA CPRB to insure that the county receive its fair share of funding.

The Art Of The Check-In Many relationship therapists encourage the couples they work with to have weekly check-ins with one another.

These check-ins are a time in which partners can discuss anything on their minds, connect with one another and focus on the status and strength of their partnership.

This need not be a serious conversation, prefaced by a “we need to talk” opener. Rather, it can be incorporated into a date night and may even become one of your rituals of connection.

The goal is for you and your partner to have a discussion in which you reflect on your relationship, openly and honestly share your feelings and assess progress over time.

Below are some tips to help make your check-ins productive, while still keeping them light and enjoyable.

Focus On Growth/Finding Solutions While it is important to bring up any issues that may be of concern, you don’t want your weekly check-ins to devolve into sessions

where you solely share your frustrations. If this were the case, they would likely become incredibly stressful and quickly be removed from your weekly agenda. Instead, focus on what went well over the previous week and what you would like to see more of in the coming week. By focusing on the positive, you can communicate to one another what each of you is doing right and how you want to grow together and show love and appreciation for one another.

you and your partner. You want to find a time and place that you are likely to keep consistent from week to week so that these meetings become a ritual. You may have to try out different options, such as over coffee on a weekend morning or after dinner on a weekday. Figure out when you can both be fully present (which also means you should limit outside distractions such as your phones or the TV).

progress made. Relationship growth is not linear and while some weeks you may feel on top of the world with your partner, others may be more of a challenge. Look back every few months to appreciate how far you’ve come as a couple.

Notice Small Changes Changes are changes; big or small. Even if you feel like there’s a lot of work to be done with your partner; every change adds up over time. Celebrate small changes as signs of success.

Bill Payne’s Long And Winding Road With Little Feat

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

B

ill Payne is a name that may not be readily recognizable, but the argument can be made that most people have heard the native Texan’s piano/keyboardist contributions whether they realized it or not. In addition to co-founding Little Feat back in 1969, Payne has a hefty amount of guest appearances on hundreds of recordings for myriad artists including Bonnie Raitt, The Doobie Brothers, Jackson Browne, Emmylou Harris, Pink Floyd, Bob Seger and Shelby Lynne.

Bill Payne (Photo by Bryan Ledgard/ CC BY 2.0)

Considered by many to be one of the greatest living American rock and blues pianists, Payne calls Montana home when he’s not out on the road playing with Little Feat. With pandemic numbers plummeting and live music coming back to some sense of normalcy, the 73-yearold musician has been playing before fans since June 2021.

The coronavirus not only forced Payne to re-adjust and learn how to play virtually with others, but also do it while welcoming a pair of new members to the band—guitarist Scott Sharrard and drummer Tony Leone.

“I learned how to record at my home, which is ridiculous,” Payne said. “It’s something I didn’t know how to do before.

I sort of took each challenge as it were and started getting the buzz out of my system here in Montana. I just took the challenges one at a time and went down the list one at a time. I [recorded virtually] not only with Little Feat but with the Doobie Brothers.

We did some online things together as well. That defined a lot of time. It took a little while for me to learn the curve of how to record, but once [I got past that], it was solid and great way to do things.”

With Sharrard welcomed into the Feat Fold in October 2019 and Leone coming aboard in September 2020, Payne views it as the price of keeping a group going that was founded back in 1969 along with Roy Estrada, Lowell George and Richie Hayward. Over the band’s five-decadeplus existence, major personnel changes have been a Little Feat constant, ranging from George’s departure in 1979 and the recruitment of former Pure Prairie League vocalist Craig Fuller to front the reunited band in 1987 to having Shaun Murphy take the baton from Fuller in 1993 until her departure in 2009. And while there could be considerable concern over fan reactions, Payne looks at it as normal evolution

Little Feat circa 1975. Bill Payne is second from left. (Public domain) that doesn’t become a concern as long as a group stays faithful to its spirit.

“Every inch of the way—when we went from a group of four people which was Roy Estrada, Lowell George, Richie Hayward and myself—and then expanded it on Dixie Chicken to Paul Barrere, Kenny Gradney and Sam Clayton—people wanted to know what that was,” he explained.

“The band from the get-go was designed

by Lowell and myself to be expandable. We just wanted to have a vehicle of expression that would allow for whatever we needed at the time to support the music. It was a pretty simple proposition. It’s tougher to sometimes pull off because there’s a certain balance to it with fans. Fans, like all of us, want continuity. When you think of continuity and a line-up of songs—when we did Let It Roll—Lowell wasn’t there [so fans might have been asking] what is that? My response was, ‘You tell me. Does it resonate with you or not? If you say, ‘Oh my God, it sounds like Little Feat. Thanks for putting it back together,’ then you know you’re on the right track.”

Up until recently, Little Feat’s last tour

leg was dubbed “Little Feat By Request,” which featured fans filing different song requests (“that was quite a challenge because we hadn’t played a lot of those songs in a long time”), The current pivot is an anniversary tour celebrating the 1978 live outing Waiting For Columbus, in which the band plays the double-album’s 17-song track listing, an accomplishment that has been well received by fans.

The path Newman got Payne started out has served him well, both in and out of Little Feat. It’s not only been a North Star for his musical development, but helped him in the hundreds of recording sessions he’s been asked to be a part of.

“The journey has been really interesting, personally and certainly with Little Feat,” he said. “But I’ve always been able to play with other bands and it always gave me a loose attitude about what makes up a band. Certain people go to the nth degree and everyone has got an equal voice. I don’t think an equal voice is what it’s all about.”

Acclaimed Sculptor Seward Johnson On Display Through Summer

“Cloud Watching” by Seward Johnson Photo by Matt Yao

O

ld Westbury Gardens announced the return of an art exhibition featuring the work of internationally renowned sculptor Seward Johnson. The exhibit features three of the artist’s most popular series: “Celebrating the Familiar,” “Beyond the Frame” and “Icons,” including additional displays of the artist’s painted trays, maquettes of artwork never realized in bronze and choice works by his friend and colleague, artist Herk van Tongeren.

On display throughout historic Westbury House and the magnificent gardens through Sept. 5, the exhibit features 35 individual pieces focusing on the sculptural commentary of day-to-day life and Johnson’s love of nature and French impressionism. New to the exhibition is a selection from the artist’s “Icon” series, which explores familiar images portrayed in a different light, as well as the debut of a never-before-seen composition.

The sculptures included

from “Beyond the Frame” bring paintings by Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Vincent Van Gogh to life in three dimensions. The exhibition contains six sculptures from this body of work. The addition of a sculpture from the “Icon” series shows the infamous portrait of Mona Lisa in a much different scenario from the familiar painting. The effect will create an immersive experience in Westbury House and the gardens, inviting the viewer to step beyond the frame into the rich world of each painting.

“Celebrating the Familiar” engages the viewer through more hyper-realistic figures, calling attention to the small pleasures and moments in daily tasks and activities.

Installations portray individuals involved in various activities amid the gardens, from fishing in the pond to lazily watching clouds go by.

Prior to becoming a wellknown sculptor, Johnson was a painter who painted primarily on canvas with acrylics. Once his

career as a sculptor flourished, his painting projects subsided— except for one unique format: painted trays. Johnson began to collect trays from antique shops on which to paint his homey, intimate scenes.

“These tray paintings are snapshots of his view of life,” said Program Officer Lynn DeClemente Losavio. Each of the paintings hung in the House allow a rare window through Johnson’s eyes, featuring his sculptures and views at Ground For Sculpture.

A display of Johnson’s unrealized maquettes or studies, recently cast in plaster are also at Westbury House.

“These are some of my favorite works,” said DeClemente Losavio. “They are his truest ideas that were never further developed, and so important to preserve as much as possible in this raw form.”

A small selection of work from artist Herk van Tongeren, friend and colleague to Johnson, are also featured.

Van Tongeren helped establish the Johnson Atelier Technical

Institute of Sculpture and its master apprentice system as President and Executive Director. An architect at heart, his work predominantly consists of three-dimensional, geometrical objects positioned within a stage-like setting, In July, Composer and Jazz Vibraphonist Christian Tamburr will bring his “Sounds For Sculpture” to the Barn for one night only. Tamburr was so influenced by Seward Johnson and his sculptures that he created original compositions inspired by ten of the sculptures.

An all day music workshop for students at the nearby school will emphasize art influencing art, music influencing art, and how the sculptures chosen inspire their own stories.

The Seward Johnson exhibit is one of the many programs coordinated by Old Westbury Gardens and hosted at its beautifully manicured 200-acre gardens and historic Charles II-style mansion. Visit www. oldwestburygardens.org for more information.

COVER ART

About The Artist

S

usanne Corbelletta is a New York native and classically trained artist.

She attended The Stevenson Academy of Traditional Painting in Sea Cliff, founded by Harold Stevenson, protégé and friend of Norman Rockwell. Inspired by impressionism and classical realism, she paints seeking to capture mood and atmosphere using changes in light and broken color, hoping to invoke a sense of tranquility for the viewer. Corbelletta draws inspiration from, mainly, Long Island scenery and is always captivated when watching light cast shadows as it moves over a landscape and when seeing the reflected light bounce off its surroundings. She paints en plein air, whenever possible and then completes the canvas at her studio. Corbelletta also enjoys painting portraits, the figure and still life, where she can control the lighting and composition.

Her award-winning paintings are privately collected and widely exhibited. Her work has been shown at The National Gallery, the Salmagundi Art Club, Federal Hall National Museum in NYC and galleries and museums nationally. Corbelletta is most proud to be an artist for the United States Coast Guard, where she has joined the ranks of artists past, to assist in documenting the history of the Coast Guard through paintings.

As a board member of The Art Guild, Corbelletta has been exposed to various artists, mediums and styles. It has given her a broader perspective of art in the community. Corbelletta is happy to be part of an organization that provides classes and workshops for adults and children, both for beginners and more advanced artists who want to broaden their skills.

Presently, Corbelletta has a solo exhibit on display at Sea Cliff Village Library through the end of June. This exhibition includes 15 of her paintings. The library is located at 300 Sea Cliff Ave. in Sea Cliff. Visit www. seaclifflibrary.org for library hours and directions.

SAFETY

Summer Is Not Fun Spent In The Hospital Prevent unexpected trips to the emergency room

W

ith miles of sandy beaches and endless outdoor activities, Long Island is an ideal summer haven. But with this fun-filled season of swimming, biking, boating, BBQs and more, also come more accidents than just about any other time of year.

Here are some summer safety tips to prevent the following accidents and unexpected trips to the hospital emergency room:

Drowning

In the U.S., drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional injury and death for children ages 1 to 14, after motor vehicle crashes. Be sure to supervise your children at the beach and pool even if lifeguards are present.

Burns

6B | SUMMERTIME! • JUNE 22 - 28, 2022

While minor burns can be treated at home, many people find themselves in the emergency room for severe injuries.

From 2014 to 2018, fire departments went to an annual average of 8,900 homes in the U.S. for fires involving grills. Remember to never leave firepits

unattended and be sure to keep your grill clean to avoid unexpected flares.

Additionally—while synonymous with summer fun—leave it to the experts to handle fireworks.

Biking

Although a pleasurable way to sneak in some health benefits, you should always wear your helmet. Helmets when bike riding reduce the risks of head injury by at least 45 percent and fatal injury by 29 percent. While you may trust yourself, you can’t trust others on the road.

Boating

According to the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), boating interests are on the rise—likely as an escape from the pandemic.

However, so are boating accidents.

According to the U.S. Coast Guard, in 2020 boating accidents increased by 26.3 percent from 2019. Also, in most fatalities caused by boating accidents the operator received no boating safety instruction. Make sure to follow boating requirements and cool it with the throttle.

Remember, there is no way to eliminate risk, but there are ways to be mindful of your surroundings. Lastly, when taking part in summer activities, be sure to drink responsibly.

SUMMER READS

Summer Bestsellers Pack a bag complete with a snack, some sunscreen and a good book before heading to the beach. Although not necessarily new books, these books are hot this summer. In no particular order, check out some of the top sellers on Amazon.

Battle for the American Mind: Uprooting a Century of Miseducation by Pete Hegseth Bestselling author and FOX News host Pete Hegseth is back with what he says is his most important book yet: a revolutionary road map to saving our children from leftist indoctrination.

Behind a smokescreen of “preparing students for the new industrial economy,” early progressives had political control in mind. America’s original schools didn’t just make kids memorize facts or learn skills; they taught them to think freely and arrive at wisdom. They assigned the classics, inspired love of God and country and raised future citizens that changed the world forever.

and heartbreaking novel that digs its claws into you and doesn’t let go, long after you’ve finished it” (Anna Todd, New York Times bestselling author) from the bestselling author of All Your Perfects, a workaholic with a too-good-to-be-true romance can’t stop thinking about her first love.

Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. And when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life seems too good to be true.

Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens Soon to be a major motion picture—the bestselling worldwide sensation with more than 12 million copies sold, hailed

mystery, a coming-of-age narrative and a celebration of nature.”

For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the socalled Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say.

Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life—until the unthinkable happens.

Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover From Colleen Hoover, the bestselling author of It Ends with Us, aheart-wrenching love story that proves attraction at first sight can be messy.

When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she doesn’t think it’s love at first sight.

They wouldn’t even go so far as to consider

themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex.

Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid From the bestselling author of Daisy Jones & the Six—an entrancing and “wildly addictive journey of a reclusive Hollywood starlet” (PopSugar) as she reflects on her relentless rise to the top and the risks she took, the loves she lost, and the long-held secrets the public could never imagine.

Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for

the job, no one is more astounded than Monique herself. Why her? Why now?

Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover A troubled young mother yearns for a shot at redemption in this heartbreaking yet hopeful story from bestselling author Colleen Hoover.

After serving five years in prison for a tragic mistake, Kenna Rowan returns to the town where it all went wrong, hoping to reunite with her four-year-old daughter.

But the bridges Kenna burned are proving impossible to rebuild. Everyone in her daughter’s life is determined to shut Kenna out, no matter how hard she works to prove herself.

will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results.

Lifesaving Grilling Tips As New Yorkers look towards nicer weather, many will be firing up their grills for the first time in months. The Firefighters Association of the State of New York (FASNY) recommends that all New Yorkers follow some basic rules and tips to avoid accidents.

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), an average of 19,700 patients per year (from 2014 to 2018) went to emergency rooms because of injuries involving grills. Nearly half of the injuries were thermal burns, including burns from both fire and contact with hot objects. Grills alone were involved in an average of 8,900 home fires per year, including 3,900 structure fires and 4,900 outdoor fires.

“We want all New Yorkers to enjoy the warm weather outdoors, but we also want them to be safe.

Keep an eye on your grill, your kids, and stay aware of your surroundings ,” said FASNY President John P. Farrell. “We are here

to help—no matter how big or small an incident seems. Don’t hesitate to call your local fire department because a few minutes can make a big difference.”

Children under age five

accounted for an average of 39 percent, of the contact-type burns per year. These burns typically occurred when someone bumped into, touched or fell on the grill, grill parts or hot coals.

Keep everyone safe by following these important tips: Propane and charcoal BBQ grills should only be used outdoors.

The grill should be placed well away from the home, deck railings and out from under eaves and overhanging branches.

Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the grill area.

Keep your grill clean by removing grease or fat buildup from the grills and in trays below the grill.

Never leave your grill unattended.

Always make sure your gas grill lid is open before lighting it.

Town crews demolished this neighborhood eyesore.

O This expanded split at 24 Wood Dr. in Oyster Bay offers an oversized property with a yard that is great for gatherings. It sold on May 19 for $949,000 and has a multi-level deck and a private driveway for more than five cars. This home offers spacious interior square footage from the tri-level expansion. The main level has a semi-open floor plan for the living room, dining room and kitchen areas and you will also find a beautiful spacious den with custom built-ins, a second fireplace, high ceilings and lots of windows to bring the outdoors in. There are four bedrooms and two full baths. The lower level is finished and has a cozy den and an amazing recreation room with a wet bar. This home is close to schools, shopping, the beach and more.

This truly exceptional “cricket cottage” at 65 Sandy Hill Rd. in Oyster Bay has been lovingly maintained and restored with custom interior millwork and detailed moldings. It sold on June 8 for $780,000. The beautifully renovated kitchen was completed in 2021.

yster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilman Lou Imbroto joined with local neighbors and the town’s highway crew to commence the demolition of a long-dilapidated zombie home on Elizabeth Street in Massapequa.

“Code enforcement officers have regularly visited this house based on neighborhood complaints and issued multiple violations for building code violations and lack of maintenance,” said Saladino. “Town personnel repeatedly found deplorable conditions as this property showed clear signs of neglect.

Since the lending institution that owns this property ignored all warnings related to health and human safety of the building, our administration went to court to remove this eyesore from the neighborhood. Banks are on notice; we will not tolerate dangerous and unkempt properties in the Town of Oyster Bay.” This longtime eyesore was recently court-granted for demolition following multiple complaints from neighbors

related to squatters, broken windows, mold, deterioration, water infiltration and lack of maintenance.

“We’re taking back neighborhoods house by house from lending institutions that let these vacant houses deteriorate and bring down the neighborhood due to a lack of maintenance,” said Councilman and Quality of Life Task Force Chairman Lou Imbroto.

“The town has removed more than 25 vacant and dilapidated eyesores from local communities while paving the way for new homes and new families.”

The Town Code Enforcement Bureau of the Department of Planning and Development is charged with the enforcement of all codes, rules and regulations pertaining to zoning, housing and public safety. It is expressly designed to handle requests of citizens regarding possible violations.

he Roslyn High School girls’ lacrosse team has quite a future ahead of it. Leading the way for the Lady Bulldogs is Casey Rhine, a rising junior who has already made her mark as a star in the competitive world of Long Island girls’ lacrosse.

A starter for Roslyn since she was a freshman, Rhine achieved a milestone this past May when she scored her 100th career goal in a game against Bellmore JFK. One hundred career goals. And that’s only after two seasons.

Indeed, the recently completed 2022 season is where Rhine emerged as Roslyn’s offensive star, scoring 18 assists and 44 points. That’s up from 33 goals in 12 games during her freshman

season. According to her coach Lauren Lopez, Rhine is now learning to dominate, taking the draw and controlling the offense from the midfield on down.

Consider the other achievements Rhine has racked up in her first two years: Being named to the Adelphi All-Star squad, a participant in the National Lacrosse Classic, the National Draw Champions, the Crab Cake Champions, the Lax by The Sea Champions, and the Million Lacrosse Camp Best Camper award. Outside of Roslyn High School, Rhine has played for both Elevate LI 2024 Blue and Elevate LI 2024 Red. Rhine combines athletic excellence with top grades. Her Grade Point Average (GPA) is 93-96; 4.0.

“I started playing lacrosse in third grade and have loved it since,”

Rhine said in a recent profile. “I currently play for my club, Team Elevate and I have been a Roslyn High School varsity lacrosse starter since eighth grade. I am the top leading scorer for my school team as a midfielder. I am dominant in my right hand, but also feel comfortable in my left. I also use my speed to transition up the field, have excellent ground ball skills and can get low on D. On offense, I am confident dodging and shooting. I can drive to goal and have an excellent lax IQ. I put the same drive and effort into school as I do lacrosse. I love helping others and like to mentor young kids who want to join the lacrosse community.”

For Casey Rhine and her Roslyn High School teammates, the best is yet to come.

Congratulations, Casey Rhine, you’re a top student-athlete!

What Nassau’s Gas Tax Holiday Means For Your Family Finally—a little bit of good news about gas prices.

On Wednesday, June 1, Nassau County began a gas tax holiday that will last through the rest of the year. During that time, Nassau will not charge sales tax on any portion of the price of gas exceeding $3/gallon. In addition, New York State will cut gasoline taxes by 20 cents per gallon. All told, these tax cuts will reduce the prices you pay at the pump by approximately 28 cents per gallon.

The beginning of Nassau County’s long-awaited gas tax holiday marks the culmination of a months-long advocacy campaign by the members of the Minority Caucus.

Starting on March 9, we fought to secure permission from state lawmakers to have a gas tax holiday—something we accomplished when the state budget was adopted a month later. Soon after, a local gas tax holiday was approved and signed into law. Despite initial resistance from County Executive Blakeman and the Legislative Majority, we prevailed in our efforts to deliver some real relief from the sticker shock we are all experiencing at the pump.

We remain disappointed, however, that County Executive Blakeman has thus far failed to deliver the maximum amount of relief allowable under state law. In fact, he could have made this gas tax holiday

much better and longer lasting for Nassau consumers by passing the Minority Caucus plan, which, at current prices, would have boosted cumulative savings to 32 cents per gallon and extended Nassau’s portion of the holiday through March of next year. Instead, he decided not to save you more money and passed a watered-down version of our plan. That is truly unfortunate, and we will continue our fight to put money where it belongs—back into the hands of consumers.

As we continue to engage in these efforts, it is important to note that New York State law requires gas stations to pass tax holiday

Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 9 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

Winners and losers Solution: 9 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Each person brings out a different side of you -- perhaps subtly so, but in certain cases you discover an aspect of yourself you were entirely unaware of. This compels you to keep meeting new people. Not only does it make things interesting, but each new person provides a chance to know yourself more completely.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Small acts of kindness are so easy for you, you might consider small acts of selfishness, which are going to feel strange but will improve your life, nonetheless. When people are subconsciously deciding how to treat you, they are taking their cues right from you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Although you’d like all your possessions to be useful, beautiful or both, the truth is, much of what you own comes with complex reasoning that defies category. You’ll pare down, spiff up and generally organize.

By the end of the week your possessions will better represent the person you are becoming.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re sometimes hesitant to solve problems for others because a co-dependent dynamic ultimately helps no one. When everyone is working together and contributing all they can, it is safe to give generously. Make sure your care for others is counterbalanced by a strong sense of your own needs and wants.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Unseen? It will work to your advantage now.

It’s easier to be productive when people don’t interrupt or insert their ideas into your work. Do amazing things under the radar while you can because you won’t get to use this invisibility cloak much longer. You’ll soon be noticed and applauded.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). With the abundant creativity flowing through you this week, you’ll delight people who are notoriously hard to please. This pays, but take care. Money that’s yours free and clear makes life easy. Money that comes with strings and contracts makes life harder. Decide your next financial move accordingly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Making a decision on data alone is like buying a house sight unseen. Everything has a feel, and you don’t know until you go there. It is also not ideal to base decisions strictly on feelings and thoughts. The success of this week’s venture will have to do with a curious mix of sentiment and fact.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you wonder why you admire someone so, the resonance has to do with qualities you share, some of which are obvious and others that lie dormant inside you. Your attractions teach you what might be awakened in you. Follow up with a move to develop skill in this direction.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Your love and warmth are indisputable, and yet the year also brings assertive vibes.

Though attentive to the needs of others, you still recognize your authority over your own focus. You live up to the responsibility to create the life that honors what’s best in you.

You’ll often pause and assess your use of time. You’ll invest your energy and resources where they give you a desired return. You’ll travel in pursuit of fun and games with your team. A young person shines under your tutelage.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Insert a few long breaks somewhere in that tight agenda. As you allow yourself to follow your whims, it might feel as though you’re loafing, loitering, listless -- but there are great, if intangible, benefits to loosening up the reins on yourself and following the clues provided by your attractions, distractions and impulses.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your cosmic talent is strong discretion, which you use superbly on behalf of others and even more brilliantly for yourself. When you want people to know what you think, your words and actions will be clear. And when you don’t want them to know, they will never be able to read you.

FOR RELEASE WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 2022

By Steve Becker

Taking care of business North dealer.

Both sides vulnerable.

NORTH ♠AKQ5 ♥7 5 2 ♦Q9 ♣A Q J 9 WEST EAST ♠ 10 4 ♠76 ♥Q J 9 3 ♥ 10 8 4 ♦K843 ♦ A 10 7 6 2 ♣8 6 2 ♣ K 10 5 SOUTH ♠J9832 ♥A K 6 ♦J5 ♣7 4 3 The bidding: North East South West 1♣ Pass 1♠ Pass 3♠ Pass 4♠ Opening lead — queen of hearts.

Over time, defenders who play mechanically will not do nearly as well as those who play thoughtfully.

Today’s deal from a duplicate game provides a case in point.

The deal was played at eight tables, and at every table the final contract was four spades by South, against which West led the queen of hearts. At seven of the tables, declarer made 10 tricks — five spades, two hearts and three clubs.

Since seven declarers achieved this result, and since 10 tricks seem to be there for the taking, this would seem to be the normal outcome.

But it shouldn’t be, as demon-

strated by what happened at the eighth table.

First, let’s see how the play went at the other tables. South won the heart lead, cashed the A-K of spades and led a spade to the jack.

Declarer then tried a club finesse, losing the queen to East’s king.

At this point, the defense varied.

Some Easts shifted to a diamond, and after the defenders collected two diamonds, declarer had the rest, eventually discarding the heart six on dummy’s nine of clubs. At the tables where East returned a heart, declarer similarly finished with 10 tricks.

At the table where the contract failed, East found a way to give South a chance to go wrong, and it made all the difference. Here, when declarer led a club to the jack at trick five, East did not take the king.

South naturally assumed that West had the king, in which case repeating the finesse was necessary and might even yield an overtrick.

So declarer crossed to his hand with the heart king and led a club to the queen. This time East won, and the defenders quickly cashed a heart and two diamonds to set the contract.

East’s refusal to win the first club is a play that has much to gain and little to lose. All it takes is a bit of thought and a natural reluctance to play mechanically.

Port Washington’s Claudia Arroyo Featured In A New-Look ‘Mikado’

P

ort Washington resident Claudia Arroyo will be featured in The Mikado: A Long Island Fantasy, a new approach to the classic comic opera, presented by the Gilbert & Sullivan Light Opera Company of Long Island in East Meadow, Commack, Port Washington, Manhattan and Huntington.

The Light Opera Company is one of Long Island’s oldest cultural institutions, celebrating its 68th season; Arroyo is in her fourth year with the company, and also serves on the company’s executive board.

In this production, she sings in the chorus as one of a group of students who attend a prestigious academy in a far-off realm called … Long Island?

Directed by Tony Tambasco, with music directed by Stuart Watarz, this all-new Mikado recasts the most famous of the Gilbert & Sullivan operas to be set on Long Island’s Gold Coast in the 1920s, the era of Prohibition, the flappers, silent movies and The Great Gatsby.

“I have attempted to recover the spirit of Gilbert & Sullivan’s intentions with a production that holds a mirror up to the present day, while also engaging in light-hearted fairy-tale-telling,” Tambasco said. “Setting The Mikado on a fantasy Long Island of 100 years ago allows us to activate the ‘Gatsby’ mythology that is a part of the cultural heritage of Long Island in the service of telling Gilbert & Sullivan’s comic fairy tale of a community overcoming the nonsensical cruelty imposed on its people.”

The score for The Mikado is packed with famous songs, including the lovely ballad “The Sun, Whose Rays Are All Ablaze,” the rattling patter song “I’ve Got a Little List,” the ingenious trio “I Am So Proud” and the wistful “Titwillow.” The story is a merry farce that’s as funny now as it was in 1885, when the show premiered, and virtually defines the idea of “fun for the whole family.”

The cast includes more than a dozen of the company’s finest singers and dancers, more than meeting the challenge of The Mikado. Richard Risi plays Nanki-Poo, the wandering minstrel who’s secretly the son of the all-powerful Mikado. Sabrina Lopez is Yum-Yum, Nanki-Poo’s secret love, with Michael John Ruggiere as her guardian Ko-Ko, the Lord High Executioner.

Compassionate care for Sinai Chapels families is now available at Riverside-Nassau North Chapels.

Dear Friends,

Claudia Arroyo. (Photo copyright 2022. Courtesy Claudia Arroyo and The Gilbert & Sullivan Light Opera Company of Long Island.)

Yum-Yum’s schoolmates Pitti-Sing and Peep-Bo, with Kenneth Kopolovicz as the pompous Pooh-Bah and Jorden Breslow as the wily Pish-Tush. Patricia Gallagher plays the fearsome aristocrat Katisha, who claims Nanki-Poo in marriage and won’t take no for an answer.

The Mikado is a Gilbert & Sullivan opera unlike any other, satirizing English society through a lens that consisted of Japan in the original production and 1920s Long Island in the current show. It’s the most popular comic opera ever written, the only one of the Gilbert & Sullivan operas popular even in non-English-speaking countries and the first ever to be made into a movie, in 1939. It has been a hit on Broadway as The Hot Mikado (1939), and has even had a movie—Topsy Turvy (1999)—made about its creation. It remains arguably the most popular work of music theater ever.

The Mikado: A Long Island Fantasy will be presented on Saturday, June 25, at the Jeanne Rimsky Theater at the Landmark on Main Street in Port Washington; on Sunday, June 26, at the Riverside Theatre in Manhattan, at 3 p.m.; and on Sunday, July 3, at Heckscher Park in Huntington, at 8 p.m.

Admission is free. For further information or to reserve tickets, visit www.gaslocoli.org —Submitted by The Gilbert and Sullivan Light Opera Company of Long Island

For four generations, Sinai Chapels has served New York’s Jewish community with compassion and care.

After over 40 years of personal commitment to Sinai Chapels, I have decided to close the Fresh Meadows chapel to spend more time with my family.

I will continue, however, to assist families as a consultant alongside many of Sinai’s longtime funeral directors who have also joined this accomplished team. RiversideNassau North Chapels specializes in all movements in the Jewish faith, and I personally selected them to serve families that have relied on Sinai Chapels for many years.

On behalf of all of us at Sinai Chapels, thank you for trusting us to serve you. If you have prearrangements with us, please know that your contract is safe and will be honored by Riverside-Nassau North Chapels (55 N Station Plaza, Great Neck), as well as other providers in the Dignity Memorial® network.

Schreiber High School Senior Directs Comedy At Landmark HANNAH DEVLIN

portwashingtonnews@antonmediagroup.com

L

ara Ozcayir, Schreiber High School senior, makes her directorial debut this month at the Landmark. The show will be presented by the PiT Theatricals, a part of the non-profit organization, The PiT Teen Center. While the staff is there to oversee and guide students in the production process, The PiT’s theatrical productions are completely designed and managed by Schreiber students.

Oszcayir, though new to directing, has a long history in theater. Throughout her time at Schreiber, she has performed in eight Schreiber Theatre Company productions, as well as four Schreiber Drama Club pieces.

Although Oszcayir had not directed before Rumors, she did have prior administrative experience as the stage manager and assistant director of PiT Theatricals’ previous production, Silver Crow.

Rumors follows the story of four upper-class couples attending an anniversary party at the home of a deputy New York City mayor. Upon arriving, the couples discover a series of unfortunate events: there are no servants to be found, the hostess is missing and the deputy mayor has shot himself in the head. Given the status of the attendees, the couples are desperate to conceal the events of the party, creating a series of complications.

“I [think Rumors is] an absolutely brilliant marriage between comedy and an underlying message of love between friends,” Oszcayir said. “For my directorial debut, I

“No matter what the issue, the PiT and its “While it was devastating not to put the wonderful staff have helped me every step of show on as planned, my team came together the way,” said Oszcayir. “Without them, this to make it work, and I am especially proud show would simply not be possible, in more

ways than one. I am so grateful to them for their help and this incredible opportunity.”

Despite the difficulties, Oszcayir is incredibly thankful for everyone involved in the production process. And, of course, the final product of the production outweighs the obstacles faced during the process.

Oszcayir explains that her favorite part of the production process was watching the cast members evolve their characters and come into their roles. Each actor brought their own set of quirks to their character, which truly helped make the characters realistic. Oszcayir found it amazing to watch these characters come off the page and onto the stage. Seeing the evolution of the actors and their characters was a testament to the cast’s talent and passion for the piece.

“Working with my peers has been an absolute pleasure… From the get-go, I knew I could trust them entirely, and that is a privilege,” said Oszcayir.

Rumors is a testament to how passion will persevere while facing obstacles. Despite the challenges faced throughout the process, the cast and crew of Rumors never failed to continue. While the message of love and friendship is especially prevalent on stage, it is safe to say that it is also relevant throughout the entire production process.

Councilmember Dalimonte Attends Parent Resource Center Graduation Ceremony Councilmember Mariann Dalimonte recently attended the Parent Resource Center’s Stepping Stones Graduation Ceremony. The event served as a celebration of all that the young students had achieved during the Stepping Stones program, after which they formally advance to Pre-K. Councilmember Dalimonte presented each of the graduates with a certificate of recognition on behalf of the Town of North Hempstead.

“The PRC’s Stepping Stones graduation is one of my favorite events of the year,” said Councilmember Dalimonte. “The Port Washington community is so fortunate to have the Parent Resource Center, which has been dedicated to supporting new families

and young children since it was founded in 1980. I wish all the Stepping Stones graduates the best of luck as they take their next steps in their academic journeys.”

The Parent Resource Center, located at 232 Main St., suite 4 in Port Washington, provides early education enrichment opportunities for families throughout the community. The Stepping Stones program is a three part class series that provides eligible families with an enriching early childhood and Pre-K readiness experience.

To learn more about the Parent Resource Center, visit their website at www.parentresource.org.

Assemblywoman Sillitti Passes Bill To Help Combat Hateful Content Assemblywoman Gina Sillitti (D-Port Washington) announced that legislation she co-sponsored requiring social media companies to provide users with an easy method to report hateful conduct has passed the Assembly (A.7865-A).

“Hate has no place in New York State, whether on our streets or online,” Sillitti said. “It’s unconscionable that a white supremacist livestreamed his terrorist attack on the Buffalo community, and that the clips were viewed millions of times.

We’ve seen how such heinous footage can embolden other extremists and traumatize unsuspecting viewers. I helped pass legislation to enhance accountability across social networks and ensure users can easily report hateful content. I’d like to thank Senator Kaplan for championing this legislation in the Senate and working collaboratively to stamp out hate wherever it is found in New York.”

The bill would require social media networks operating in New York to provide

and maintain a clear and accessible mechanism for users to report or file complaints regarding hateful content. If a company knowingly failed to comply with this requirement, a civil penalty of up to $1,000 per day could be assessed.

Sillitti recently hosted a “Stop Asian Hate with Education” rally with Sen. Anna Kaplan on Saturday, May 21, to spotlight the rise in anti-Asian crimes on Long Island and across New York State and support the Assembly bill to teach Asian American history in New York public schools (A.7260-A).

Additionally, Sillitti supports state Attorney General Letitia James’ investigation into social media companies connected with the terror attack in Buffalo.

The recently announced investigation will examine the social networks and other online resources the shooter used to discuss his intentions to carry out the attack.

he annual James C. Metzger Leadership Award for Nassau County High School boys’ lacrosse was presented to one player on each of the eight teams that competed in the finals of the 2022 Section VIII Nassau County high school boys’ lacrosse championships.

game, Port Washington defeated Syosset High School 9-8.

The awards were presented by 1970s Long Island lacrosse stars James C. Metzger and Vincent J. Sombrotto. A three-sport athlete at Half Hollow Hills East in Dix Hills, Metzger received the 1977 Lt. Ray Enners Award for outstanding Suffolk County lacrosse player when he scored 102 points and received AllAmerican honors. An All-American lacrosse player at Hofstra University, Metzger is the founder and chairman of Whitmore–The Agency, an insurance and financial services firm in Garden City. Sombrotto attended Chaminade High School in Mineola and was a Hofstra University All-American midfielder.

He was named to the 1982 All-World Team and is a member of the US Lacrosse Hall of Fame. He is a senior vice president at Whitmore.
