t was an afternoon of music at Temple Or Elohim, a community reform congregation in Jericho, on June 12.

Cantor David Katz was joined by a group of three women cantors, the Shul Sisters in what was the temple’s first “big event” since the pandemic began.

Ahead of the show, Cantor Katz said he was feeling “tremendous excitement” for the community.

“As you can, this is our 10th one,” Cantor Katz said. “We’ve had everything from the Pop-Symphony Orchestra to Tony Award-winner, Broadway composer Steven Lutvak... The entire point of this concert is to bring the community the highest level shows, Manhattan level shows you don’t have to go into Manhattan for. And you don’t have to pay much for it.”

Cantor Katz said he’s enjoyed the enthusiasm of the community, who he says often reaches out to him to ask when the next concert is going to be and who would be performing, adding to a reputation as the “music temple of the North Shore.”

But the concerts weren’t completely canceled due to the pandemic. During that time of isolation, Cantor Katz said 70 songs were sent out to the congregation to vote on, and the top 25 songs were performed by him in a virtual concert. Cantor Katz said he read texts sent by the congregation in between songs as a commentary. The temple also hosted an outdoor concert in June of 2021.

For this year’s concert, Cantor Katz said he was connected to the Shul Sisters through of good friend who saw the group live and said they’d be a good match for the annual Cantor Concert.

To practice with a group that hails from Chicago and New York, Cantor Katz said they were all only able to rehearse once.

“But everyone’s a professional,” Cantor Katz said. “You shouldn’t have any problems if you know your music.”

What’s special about this year’s concert is the beauty of the music and the style, Cantor Katz said. The focus of the show was on Jewish music, with a little bit of Broadway.

Just down the hall from Cantor Katz’s room, the Shul Sisters were getting ready for the show. The three members of the Shul Sisters, Cantor Laurie Akers, Cantor Rachel Brook and Cantor Rachel Goldman,

Meeting at a cantor conference, on a bench, the group formed in January 2019, releasing a viral video “I’m going to Walk It With You” with Christian faith leaders. That video inspired them to continue performing and connecting communities.

“The three were preparing to put on a concert just before the pandemic hit, and then, since they all lived across the country, the group went virtual.

“We very quickly learned how to practice and record on our own,” Goldman said.

“We each had our own relationships with the recording studios. We each had our own friends or husbands who could record us. We spent a lot of time on FaceTime. We were probably on FaceTime 10 times a day.”

And, the three still FaceTime often as they’ve become close friends. They have become like aunts to each other’s children.

“It’s our passion project to do with each other,” Brook said. “We all have full-time pulpits as cantors. Now two of us are based in Chicago.”

This passion project is a dream come true, the group agreed, as they get to travel with their best friends.

The concert began at 3:30 p.m.

“Clap, sing, dance and whatever your hearts desire,” said an organizer Laurel Fried of Temple Or Elohim, “Just enjoy the show.”

Performances included both Cantor Katz and the Shul Sisters performing, in unison, solos from Cantor Katz and trios from the Shul Sisters.

And it was clear the audience was delighted, clapping along to the songs with a faster tempo.

Several recent enhancements in technology have made cosmetic plastic surgery procedures safer and easier for the patient with a more natural outcome.

Implementing a healthy plan including diet and exercise will help to achieve both a beautiful and realistic result. There are a variety of procedures available today to help you achieve the look that you desire, including breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, liposuction, tummy tuck, fat transfer, cellulite reduction, full body lift, facelift and eyelid lift. Combining surgical with non-surgical procedures can produce amazing and significant improvements to your appearance.

Utilizing the latest technology, Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery offers rapid recovery breast augmentation and liposuction packages where you can be back to your daily routine in 24-48 hours.

Patients experience minimal swelling and bruising with a notably decreased recovery time. Recognizing the need for patients to quickly return to their normal activities, a Greenberg Rapid Recovery Procedure ensures both excellent results with a faster recovery period. In addition, there is a continued increase in the number of women having children at a later age who are seeking to obtain pre-pregnancy figure. New mothers can take advantage of the Greenberg Modern mommy Makeover, a very popular

plan specifically designed to target the areas of the body most affected by pregnancy and childbirth. Combining a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast lift or breast augmentation, fat transfer or cellulite reduction treatment significantly transforms your look.

Another avenue to consider is the new noninvasive body sculpting treatment, Emsculpt which reduces fat and increases muscle mass in the abdomen and buttocks within 2 weeks without spending hours in the gym. Coolsculpting reduces fat in the treated area by 25%, without surgery! Combine these two for a fit and toned silhouette this summer! For a quick refresh this Summer, injectable fillers are effective in reducing lines and wrinkles on the face without surgery.

Exciting products like Botox, Dysport and Xeomin and the New Jeuveau smooth crow’s feet and frown lines while Juvederm and Restylane restore facial contour and volume resulting in a lifted look.

For over 25 years, Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery has been providing the proper mix of these procedures to provide the most successful improvements in appearance with a significant reduction in the signs of aging. Using the most state-of-the-art technology to obtain the best and most natural results, you can turn back the hands of time in a caring, safe and supportive environment.

Remember, the perfect cosmetic surgery package can create the perfect you!

Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg is a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in cosmetic surgery. He has offices in Woodbury, Southampton and Manhattan.

id you know that balloons are one of the most frequently found items at beach cleanups and by boaters?

What goes up must come down. Every helium-filled balloon released into the air returns to the ground or the sea to become litter.

Every part of the balloon, from the latex or mylar to the ribbon, can be harmful to wildlife. Even so-called biodegradable balloons are not truly biodegradable and will only break apart into smaller pieces that can be ingested by animals.

An animal can easily choke on a balloon or pieces of it can become lodged in its digestive system, preventing it from processing food.

It’s easy enough for a human to mistake a balloon floating in the water for a jellyfish, so you can imagine how a hungry turtle can mistake a balloon for its next meal.

Furthermore, animals, especially birds, can become entangled in the ribbons that are attached to balloons.

Suffolk County and numerous states and municipalities have banned the intentional release of balloons into the atmosphere.

There is currently a bill pending in the New York State Legislature to ban the intentional release of any helium or lighter than air balloons starting in January of 2023.

Choose bubbles or some other safe way to celebrate. The waterways and the animals who live there will thank you for it.

SCHOOL NEWS LIU Roosevelt School, The Society Of Presidential Descendents Honor Doris Kearns Goodwin at Inaugural Gala The Roosevelt School and the Society of Presidential Descendants hosted an inaugural gala, honoring Doris Kearns Goodwin, a leading presidential historian, Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times #1 best-selling author, for her career achievements.

The inaugural event was held on June 11 at the LIU Post campus in Brookville. The schedule of events included: • Panel discussions led by the Society of Presidential Descendants entitled “Living in the White House,” featuring personal stories of the Descendants’ ancestors and reflections on their leadership.

• Symposium titled “What You Don’t Know About Theodore Roosevelt” on the personal life and legacy of President Theodore Roosevelt hosted by his great-grandson Tweed Roosevelt, president and co-founder of The Society of Presidential Descendants, and chairman and professor at The Roosevelt School.

“Long Island University is a national leader in presidential studies, service learning, and

civic education,” said University President Kimberly R. Cline. “Our ambitious academic and research agenda provides opportunities for students to grow as thought leaders and innovators who will serve and inspire their communities.”

The Gala took place inside the “White House Experience” at The Roosevelt School, featuring replicas of the executive mansion’s most famous rooms.

“The gala will be a unique opportunity for participants to hear personal stories direct from family members about their presidential ancestors,” said Tweed Roosevelt. “We are proud to honor Doris Kearns Goodwin and bring together such renowned leaders to educate and encourage students to shape the future of our country.”

The Society of Presidential Descendants includes direct descendants of one or more United States presidents who support the study of the presidency and advocate for civic engagement.

The partnership between The Roosevelt School and Society of Presidential Descendants has garnered national recognition for:

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.

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman’s voting member on the MTA Board is David Mack. Any changes to the MTA $51 billion 2020-24 Five Year Capital Plan have to be reviewed and approved by the State Capital Program Review Board (CPRB).

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 federal planning process to access Federal Transit Administration funding is managed by the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council (NYMTC).

Blakeman must insure that his voting representatives at NYMTC and MTA, along with the Congressional and State Legislative delegations, make sure that Nassau County receives a fair share for all the federal and state formula and competitive discretionary funding available for transit.

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

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.

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.

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.

If you’re having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn’t you. The problem is your system.

You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you’ll get a proven system that can take you to new heights.

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.

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

WORD FIND This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direction but always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) 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.

Solution: A bit of fun

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.

CONTRACT BRIDGE

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.

Eleven-Year-Old Singer Songwriter, Off-Broadway Actress Records In Syosset

2022 SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

JULIA PENCHUK editorial@antonmediagroup.com

V

ictoria “Tori” Bizzoco, an 11-yearold singer/songwriter, dancer and Off-Broadway actress, fell in love with performing right here in Long Island.

Since she was two years old, Bizzoco has been entertaining audiences. At age six, she started competitive dancing and acting at a local Long Island theatre.

Bizzoco started taking her acting career more seriously during quarantine. During the peak of COVID-19, not many theaters were doing live performances; however, she had the opportunity to play lead Cady Heron in Mean Girls in her local theatre.

Bizzoco’s first Off-Broadway production was at The Riverside Theater in New York City at age 9. She is currently center stage as band manager Summer Hathaway in School of Rock at The John Cullum Theatre on 54th street.

“So far School of Rock has been my favorite show I have ever done,” Bizzoco said. “The people I worked with became my family and we all got super close”.

Her mother, Lori Bizzoco, explained how intensive the Off-Broadway shows are. These Off-Broadway shows are regular show length of more than two hours and are run by actors and actresses who have been on Broadway themselves.

In addition to performing on stage, Bizzoco loves to spend time recording covers and writing original music. For roughly a year, she has been recording with The Loft Sound Studio in Syosset to produce song covers.

The Loft Sound Studio, a professional recording studio and artist development productions company, is in Syosset right off Jericho turnpike. The Loft Sound Studio has founded other local well-known stars like Madison Beer, Jason Derulo, Sky Katz, Conor Maynard. Over the past 10 years, Loft Sound Studio has helped bring thousands of recording artists songs to life.

Bizzoco is appreciative of all the people she gets to work with. “I have a really incredible producer,” she said. “All the people I work with are really nice and amazing.”

Next month, Bizzoco will release her debut single titled, “Back to the Start”, which will be the first of several songs appearing on her upcoming EP. A record label in Georgia found the covers she posted with The Loft Sound Studio on YouTube and helped her co-write her upcoming single.

On June 21, Tori performed live at Don’t Tell Mama in New York for Broadway’s

Aside from training for Broadway, Bizzoco will attend Oceanside Middle School in the fall and is excited to get to hang out with her friends and shop like everyone else her age. Despite all the talented projects she is working on at such a young age, Bizzoco is known to be the girl that is always lifting up people around her. “She is the person that will say everyone sings great,” Lori Bizzoco said.

The younger Bizzoco is happy to have these great opportunities that many kids her age don’t get to have. “I would be happy with any role because it’s amazing to perform,” she said. “I don’t have favorites”.

Her advice for other Long Island tweens trying to achieve their dreams is to believe in yourself.

“It’s as simple as believing in yourself,” Bizzoco said.

With her mother believing in her, Bizzoco found it easier to believe in herself and fall in love with all her work.

Orchard Estate Recognized By U.S. News & World Report As One of the Country’s Best Senior Living Communities

O

ut of the more than 500 assisted living communities in New York, Orchard Estate of Woodbury, a Benchmark assisted living and Mind & Memory Care community, has been selected as one of the best in the state by U.S. News & World Report.

Orchard Estate of Woodbury earned “Best” status by achieving the highest possible rating for both assisted living and memory care in U.S. News & World Report’s inaugural Best Senior Living ratings following a comprehensive consumer satisfaction survey. Orchard Estate’s residents and family members gave the community high marks in critical areas, such as overall value, management and staff, resident enrichment, dining and food, safety, transportation, maintenance, housekeeping and location.

“For 25 years, Benchmark communities have set the standard for senior care excellence in the Northeast. The U.S. News & World Report designation is special because—once again—it’s our residents and their families who are validating the important and successful role Benchmark associates play in their lives,” said Tom Grape, founder, chairman and CEO of Benchmark, New England’s largest senior living provider with 64 communities throughout the Northeast.

Orchard Estate of Woodbury offers both traditional senior assisted living and specialized assisted living with memory care for those who would benefit from a safer, engaging environment, chef-prepared

Residents enjoy connecting over programs and amenities offered in many common spaces including a bistro, game room, fitness center, hair salon, medical suite, private dining room and kitchen and outdoor courtyards with walking paths.

Orchard Estate’s award-winning Mind & Memory Care program offers carefully created living environments and unique

opportunities for those with Alzheimer’s and dementia to find joy in each new day.

Residents are supported by 24/7 care providers who have been hired for heart and educated in memory loss, communication and empathy. Neighborhoods provide the comforts of home and have unique features that help those with memory impairment stay connected to who and what matters most to them. Thoughtful touches, visual cues and purposeful amenities further promote familiarity and wellness.

“Whether it’s connecting our residents to their passions, providing meals just the way they like or making sure they get to doctor’s appointments, our associates constantly strive for excellence in all they do,” said Doug Cormack, executive director of Orchard Estate of Woodbury. “Orchard Estate is truly an extraordinary community committed to supporting one another, and we are thrilled to now be among an elite group in New York.”

For more than 30 years, U.S. News has served the American public as an unbiased arbiter of quality across a variety of important choices. Whether picking a college, selecting a hospital or moving to a nursing home, consumers go to U.S. News to research and make consequential life decisions.

“Until now, families have had limited information when comparing providers of independent living, assisted living, memory care or continuing care,” said Ben Harder, managing editor and chief of health analysis at U.S. News. “The Best Senior Living ratings fill this informational gap with comprehensive and transparent data to help older consumers and their families identify high-quality senior living communities that meet their needs and preferences.”
