Levittown Library’s Steward Of Knowledge

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

A

merican essayist and former Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress Rita Dove once said, “The library is an arena of possibility, opening both a window into the soul and a door onto the world.” It is a sentiment Trina Reed has taken to heart ever since she applied for a library card at the Philadelphia Free Library at the tender age of four once she learned how to sign her name. As someone who has tirelessly assisted and educated whatever communities she’s served, the current Levittown Public Library Director was recently recognized for her efforts by the Nassau County and Suffolk County Library Associations, which tapped Reed as the 2020 recipient of the LDA Award for Excellence in Library Achievement. This annual award is given in recognition of long lasting achievement in the library field, with an emphasis on leaders who inspire and implement forward-thinking, innovative advancements. Normally presented at the Long Island Library Conference as part of a large event featuring a guest speaker, the most recent ceremony was held over Zoom.

It was nonetheless a very humbling experience for Reed.

“I’m excited to have received the award,” she said. “There have been so many wonderful things the staff and I have been able to do together. I say it that way because no person can do this alone and I could not do this without their support.”

Reed’s current career path began after spending time as a military brat living all over the United States before her family settled on Long Island. She got her first library-related job as a page at the Hempstead Public Library.

Throughout high school, Reed’s interest in fashion led to her receiving a Bachelor of Science degree from the Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science in 1991, all while working a library side hustle. Eventually, the lure of being a steward of knowledge won out.

“While I was in college, I did summer internships in the field and worked after class in various retail establishments,” she recalled. “But I continued working at the library the whole time. I went from being a page to a clerk and doing data entry as libraries were moving into the online phase. I realized that my heart was really with the library and I did not

I decided by directorships in Rockville Centre’s to go for my MLS (Master of Library Lakeview Public Library, Elmont Science) and started the program in Memorial and Uniondale before 1991, eventually graduating landing in her current Levittown with my MLS from position in 2014.

where everyone got a chance to learn the basics of how to use the different equipment,” she said.

The Innovation Station’s broad functionality enables patrons to access new technology, including but not limited to computers, software, digital and electronic formats, media, 3D printers, cooking and sewing equipment that’s meant to appeal to a broad swath of users. Pre-pandemic, it was able to accommodate 25 users.

With current COVID-19 restrictions, that number has been reduced to 10.

It’s a resource whose versatility Reed is understandably proud of.

“With the Innovation Station, we’ve done everything from holding field trips for our local elementary schools and having the special needs population come in and do crafts to having Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts use the kitchen part of the facility and learn kitchen safety,” she said. “It’s definitely a multi-purpose room where we get to do a lot.”

Always striving to improve the experience users have at this crucial community space, Reed has also successfully undertaken numerous building improvements, including a quiet study, an eatery, window replacements, a redesign of the Children’s Room, bathroom remodeling for increased accessibility and the current interior/exterior construction project that is slated for a tentative grand opening in January 2022 depending on whatever pandemic restrictions might be in place at the time. Getting through the coronavirus has been and continues to be priority number one for Reed in her current position.

“Going forward from here, we are focusing on navigating through this COVID-19 crisis by taking from the lessons that we learned,” she said.

“For instance, how can we continue to properly serve the people that received digital cards that may not have ever stepped foot in the building?

We’re always staying in the forefront of what library service we can offer next and looking at the needs of our community.”

Parents Debate Mask Policy Ahead Of Glen Cove School’s First Day

BY JENNIFER CORR

jcorr@antonmediagroup.com

W

ith the first day of school for Glen Cove City School District students quickly approaching on Sept. 2, some parents are nervous about having their child wear a mask during class after doing so all of last school year.

Superintendent Dr. Maria L. Rianna during the summer sent out a letter to the community stating that the district will follow the Center for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and will require all students and staff to wear their masks while indoors. The letter also stated that there will not be a remote option for students this year.

“As the new governor takes over, we are expecting by way of conversations that she’s had already that she will provide guidance and/ or mandates in regards to school openings,” Rianna said during the Aug. 18 Board of Education meeting. “We await that information and will make adjustments as necessary.”

But during the public discussion, just like during the discourse around students wearing masks all across Long Island, some parents expressed their disagreement with the mask wearing policy.

Daniel Rios took to the

podium to reference articles he saw that challenged the effectiveness of masks.

“Some of you do not see, even though your children may adapt well, the difficulty and the problems of wearing masks, especially for fifth grade and under,” Rios said.

“That age is when they’re most affected. I do not think you’re doing your work honestly if you think masks work. I think it’s upsetting to me. I think it’s upsetting to a lot of the public that you do not see this.”

Lauren Bannon of Glen Cove expressed discomfort of having her incoming kindergartner having to learn behind partitions around his desk while wearing a mask.

“Our family has so much

anxiety and stress about him entering kindergarten, just for him entering kindergarten, and then everything coming with it,” Bannon said. “We are so concerned about his little body sitting at a desk with barricades and a mask and not gathering information...

I can’t even drop my kid off into the school because of everything going on.”

She then asked the Board of Education if they could leave the mask wearing up to the parents.

“We consider the health and safety of all of our students and all of our staff,” Rianna said in response.

“Bringing your child to kindergarten on a normal year is anxiety ridden for a lot of parents, but I do want to

All About Masks Face masks, combined with other preventative measures, such as getting vaccinated, frequent hand-washing and physical distancing, can help slow the spread of the virus. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends fabric masks for the general public.

The CDC says that N95 masks should be reserved for health care providers.

How do different types of masks work?

Medical masks: Also called surgical masks, these are loose fitting disposable masks. They’re meant to protect the wearer from contact with droplets and sprays that may contain germs. A medical mask also filters out large particles in the air when the wearer breathes in.

To make a medical mask more form-fitting, knot the ear loops where they attach to the mask. Then fold and tuck the unneeded material under the edges.

Cloth masks: A cloth mask is intended to trap respiratory droplets that are released when the wearer talks, coughs or sneezes. It also acts as a barrier to protect the wearer from inhaling droplets released by others.

The most effective cloth masks are made of multiple layers of tightly woven fabric like cotton. A mask with layers will stop more droplets from getting through your mask or escaping from it.

assure you that our staff, our principals welcomed children under COVID conditions in a very positive manner. We had mask breaks throughout the day. We have guaranteed that there are assistants in the class. We have planned as many outdoor instructional activities as possible. We’ll continue to consider all information before the start of school.”

Trustee Angela Raimo added that she has a child that was in elementary school and one entering kindergarten as well, and that she was shocked last year at how easily the children adapted to the COVID-19 regulations.

“I thought the masks and the barricades would be nerve wracking, but they did so well and they spent so much time outside,” Raimo said. “They loved it. They loved having lunch and snack outside and

experiencing the garden. They did a great job and I think the kids will do very well, just like they did last year.”

Board president Lia Leone also assured Bannon that the faculty at Glen Cove’s elementary school are “fantastic.”

“I’m telling you within a week you’ll find out that you have zero to worry about,” Leone said. “I’ve been a teacher myself for 23 years, so I’m living this as a parent, a teacher and as a board member and I get your frustrations.

It’s so unfortunate that we have to be doing this, but I do think that the kids are really in good hands and are well taken care of.”

Plainview Residents Hold Fundraiser For ALS

he Wurtzel family is inviting the community to join them in their walk to defeat ALS. The fundraiser and walk is in memory of Elan Wurtzel’s mother-inlaw and Gail Wurtzel’s loving mother Miriam Hanania.

This year’s Walk event will be held on Sept. 25. Due to the pandemic, however, the Wurtzel team will be participating in the ALS Walk from Home--an online fundraising event.

“I want to continue to honor

Miriam and help raise money to make a difference in the lives of those affected by ALS,” Wurtzel said.

“Despite her difficult battle with three major cancers and then ALS, my wife’s heroic mother, Miriam, never stopped fighting to survive for her family, whom she loved so much.

However, in May 2012, Miriam lost her battle with ALS, but not before leaving her family and friends with wonderful and touching moments and memories.”

ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a nervous system disease that weakens muscles and impacts physical function. Nerve cells break down, which reduces functionality in the muscles they supply.

“I formed my team to honor my mother’s memory,” Gail Wurtzel said.

“She was a beautiful woman and despite how ALS weakened her, her spirit and will to live remained strong to the end. Everywhere you turned during the walk, you saw, heard and

felt that same spirit in family members, supporters and sufferers of ALS. It was a very uplifting day” The Wurtzel family is hoping the community will support them through donations to the ALS Association as they march with team. Memories of Miriam, to battle ALS/Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

To support the fundraiser, search online “The ALS Association Greater New York Chapter by Elan Wurtzel.”

n Aug. 11 there was a dedication and reveal of another historical marker in Bethpage for Swedetown. This is a tribute to Central Park Historical Society’s Executive Board Member, Bob Albertson and the story of Swedetown.

Albertson was proud of the town where he was born, grew up, and when he married this was where he wanted to settle and raise his family. He was born in Central Park, but by the end of his first year, 1936, the town had a name change. The people had been looking for a more suitable name for the hamlet, and it was now decided Bethpage, the original biblical name of the area and the newly named state park was a good fit.

Albertson was full of pride when he acknowledged his grandparents - Robert and Alma (Salo) Knapp - as they purchased a home in Swedetown in 1915 as a summer home which later became their permanent residence. Here they raised their family Impi Ilma (Peggy), Annalisa (Betty), John and Helen and provided a home and loving family for Eino and William.

Today, the fifth generation of the Knapp family still lives in Bethpage.

Central Park, in the early 1900’s, were mainly from the Scandinavian area of northern Europe. The people of the Nordic countries shared strong cultural and historical traits and they bonded.

The area where the Scandinavians settled was now referred to as Swedetown.

The area recognized today would be north of Cherry Avenue, east of Stewart Avenue, west of Plainview Road (and today the 135 Expressway) and south of Plainview.

A Scandinavian-American Club of North Central Park was organized in 1919, as a social group, and it was

disbanded in November and reorganized as the Central Park North Civic Association. Here they celebrated with a Scandinavian-American Midsummer Dance. The celebration lasted for three days and people from neighboring towns joined in the festivities. The Midsummer Dance was an annual event.

The Central Park North Civic Association was responsible for improved roads, street lighting, improved water service, postal delivery and establishing the Annual Children’s Christmas Party with the Scandinavian

Santa presenting each child with a gift.

The Central Park North Civic Association minutes came to a standstill in 1959 and the clubhouse, located on Stewart Avenue, is now the sanctuary of Saint Isidoro’s Greek Orthodox Church.

Over the years the area continues to flourish. No more open fields for children to play in, gather berries and wildflowers for the picking. Well planned homes have sprung up, parks for children to play in, neighborhood schools, and streets named for war heroes.

With heavy rain and flash flood warnings a common occurrence over the past few weeks and the prospect of additional storms throughout hurricane season, Insurance.com explains how flood insurance works and advises on the importance of purchasing appropriate protection in advance of any flooding.

“With flooding the most common natural disaster in the U.S., it is critically important that homeowners and renters understand how to buy flood insurance,” explained Les Masterson, managing editor for Insurance.com. “If you want flood protection, it’s essential to purchase a separate flood policy, since damage from rising water is excluded from standard home insurance coverage and those without flood protection risk being underinsured.”

Unique aspects of flood insurance include:

• It is generally not possible to buy a policy and benefit from it immediately when a storm is on its way, due to a standard waiting period between acquiring protection and the start of any coverage period.

• Flood insurance rates do not vary between insurers on standard flood policies.

• The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) allows people to buy up to $250,000 for home protection and $100,000 for property or contents.

• Consumers can choose their deductible amount.

Hicksville Water District And Town Of Oyster Bay Reach Plant Sweeping Agreement

T

he Hicksville Water District (HWD) and the Town of Oyster Bay recently entered into an intermunicipal agreement for the town to provide two annual street sweeping services at each of the district’s water supply and treatment facilities. In exchange, the district will provide annual testing for 12 Town-owned backflow devices within the district’s service area.

“The Hicksville Water District and the Town of Oyster Bay have an extensive history of working together for the betterment of our residents and this intermunicipal agreement is no different,” HWD Chairman Karl Schweitzer said. “From the perspective of the district,

Municipalities working together to keep Hicksville’s water infrastructure clean this is a smart, reciprocal agreement that will greatly improve our ability to better maintain the grounds of our water production and treatment facilities while also ensuring a dozen of the town’s backflow prevention devices are operating correctly for the continued health and safety of our residents.”

Maintaining the cleanliness and appearance of the district’s facilities goes a long way in supporting their mission to provide residents with high-quality water service. Having the grounds around the facilities routinely cleaned ensures that they are not only more aesthetically

pleasing for the surrounding residents, but also that the removal of trash, plants and other potentially disruptive materials that make its way

onto these sites is removed.

The backflow tests that the District will be providing in return plays a crucial role in protecting the community’s drinking water from potentially harmful substances like lawn fertilizers.

“The Town of Oyster Bay is proud to partner with the Hicksville Water District on this shared services initiative that will increase overall efficiency, eliminate duplication, streamline operations and result in real cost savings for our residents,” Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino said.

“I am proud that the town will be partnering with the

Hicksville Water District under this intermunicipal agreement that will provide annual backflow testing of 12 Town-owned backflow devices within the District’s service area,” Town of Oyster Bay Councilman Tom Hand said. “Maintaining our backflow devices is hugely important as any potential problem could affect the cleanliness of our water, and negatively impact the overall health and safety of our community. My thanks again to our friends at the Hicksville Water District for partnering on this shared services initiative that will keep our community safe.”

MS-13 Member Sentenced To 20 Years To Life In Prison For 2017 Murder

Antonio Cullal used machete to kill victim at Massapequa Park Preserve The Nassau County District Attorney’s Office recently announced that a Hempstead man was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison for his role in the 2017 murder of Julio Cesar EspantzayGonzales in the Massapequa Park Preserve.

Twenty-six-year-old Antonio Cullal, a.k.a Duke, pleaded guilty on June 15 before Judge Helene Gugerty to murder in the second degree (an A-I felony) and conspiracy in the second degree (a B felony). The defendant was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison.

“Antonio Cullal and other MS-13 gang members followed the orders they were given by the gang hierarchy and killed Julio Cesar Espantzay-Gonzales simply because the gang believed he was their ‘enemy,’” Acting DA Joyce Smith said. “They

lured the unassuming 19-year old to the Massapequa Park Preserve, viciously hacked him to death with a machete, and abandoned his body in the brush. I thank our law enforcement partners for their assistance in the investigation and prosecution of yet another tragic and unconscionable gang murder.”

According to the investigation, 19-year old EspantzayGonzales was reported missing on January 31, 2017.

On March 23, 2017, his body was found by a dogwalker in the Massapequa Park Preserve. The victim was allegedly lured to the woods on January 28, 2017 by Kevin Granados-Coreas and others with promises of sex and marijuana.

Museum To Hold Star-Studded Benefit Art Auction

M

ore than 100 important works of art will be on the auction block Sept. 1-17 including a rare Salvador Dali portfolio as well as pieces by Sam Francis, Hunt Slonem, Takashi Murakami, Christo, Roy Lichtenstein, Larry Rivers, Yoshitomo Nara, Doug Argue, Ben Schonzeit, Barbara Ernst Prey, Susan Cushing, Helen Frankenthaler and many others. The art, which goes on view online Sept. 1 and can be viewed live starting Sept. 7 at the Museum’s Manes Center, is drawn from the Museum’s own collection as well as donations from some of the internationally renowned contemporary artists who have shown at the Museum during its 30-year history. Buyers can register online beginning Sept. 1 at ncma.betterworld.org/auctions/ nassau-county-museum-art-benefit.

The bidding will close at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 17. Two factors make this a special event. It will directly benefit the ambitious plans of the Museum to continue mounting major shows on the level of the current blockbuster, Andy Warhol: A Life in Pop. The other attraction is authenticity. Collectors at all levels, including newcomers to the art market, will benefit from the assurance that the works they are acquiring have the most secure provenance possible. The art market today is red hot, but many fakes and scams abound especially online. By offering works from its own distinguished collection, as well as those donated fresh from the studios of important artists (many of whom are local), the Museum removes many of the risks of buying art. With prices for fine art rising so fast, great values on art works

Jeff Koons, Balloon Dog (Blue), 2002 with impeccable provenance are almost impossible to find.

The Museum is taking advantage of the upsurge in the market as well as new rules governing the deaccessioning of works of art from the permanent collection which were instituted during the pandemic in order to help cover losses, such as customary revenues from events such as galas.

While the property remained open for the public seeking outdoor recreation and refreshment, and the Museum reopened in July, it has been difficult to raise funds from donations in the usual way. With the generous support of many local artists, whose contributions to the auction are 100 percent intended to benefit the Museum, the sale will be the Museum’s major fundraising event of the year.

Bidding opens September 1.

Viewing of the works at the Manes Center of the Museum begins Tuesday, Sept. 7 and continues daily from 1 to 4 p.m. (or private viewing by appointment). Museum experts will

Tennis Star Gives Back To The Community

BY RACHEL DOBKIN

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

E

esha Kaushik is not only winning championships on the Syosset High School Varsity Tennis team, but also building up a community of underprivileged child tennis players.

Tennis Empower Camp, created by Kaushik, is a camp meant to “serve children of our community who may not have the opportunity or the means to pursue tennis,” Kaushik went on, “By providing children this opportunity they are likely to feel more connected to the community, have higher self-esteem, and become healthier and happier.”

Kaushik started playing tennis at the age of four and has dreams of pursuing it in college. “I have been playing on my high school’s varsity team for the past two years and truly enjoy the kinship and camaraderie of playing in a team environment and would love to do the same in college,” said Kaushik.

She plays first singles on the SHS Varsity team and this year helped the team win the Nassau County Championship where Kaushik earned All County Honors.

Kaushik felt so grateful to have the opportunity to improve her tennis skills with the support of her coaches.

She noticed that many kids aren’t as fortunate as her and she wanted to change that. She said, “I felt that one way I can make a difference was to pay it forward and use my talents and channel my efforts to empower underprivileged children through tennis.”

Using the digital age to her advantage, Kaushik created a website and social media account to help market her newly developed camp.

She then contacted family friends, coaches and tennis shops for support.

This then led to donations in the form of money, used racquets and

Town Scores Second Upgrade In One Week From Wall Street

C

ontinuing its ongoing success in improving Town of Oyster Bay’s finances, Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the town board announce that yet another Wall Street agency has upgraded the town’s bond rating.

Moody’s Investors Service assigned the Town an ‘A3’ rating, reflecting continued improvements to the town’s financial position. This marks the sixth credit rating upgrade since Saladino took office just four years ago, and even more impressively, the fourth during the COVID pandemic.

This great news assists the town and its residents tremendously, as the town will now pay significantly less money in interest expense when bonding for the costs associated with road repaving and other critical infrastructure improvements.

“For the second time in just one week, Wall Street has recognized the town’s continuing commitment and success in repairing the town’s finances,” Saladino said. “We are so proud that all of the hard work to restore our financial integrity has been successfully recognized. All of our efforts to restrict spending, significantly pay down debt while maintaining a tax cut have demonstrated that we keep our promises to protect taxpayers while delivering all the important services

they deserve.”

Acknowledging the town’s ‘modest debt’ and rapid reparation of its finances, Moody’s praised the town’s combination of sensible budgetary actions, recent cost cutting and current policies and practices. They specifically recognized ‘strong measures taken by management to reverse the past history of poor budgeting and structural imbalance,’ and acknowledged ‘dramatic improvement.’ Additionally, the report noted that the town’s ‘2020 surplus is more impressive even than it appears at first blush.’ The report credited the town for budget trimming

even at the height of the pandemic, though Oyster Bay did not receive any CARES Act money.

Since taking office in 2017, Saladino and the town board have cut property taxes while reducing debt and the operational budget deficit. In fact, the 2019, 2020 and 2021 town budgets sustained the $1.3 million property tax cut approved by the town board for 2018 by implementing a plan that froze taxes. As a result, $5.2 million is in the pockets of taxpayers rather than the coffers of government.

Total town debt has also declined by a historic $165 million. In addition,

Saladino and the town board successfully eliminated a multi-year operational deficit which hit a high of $44 million under the prior administration, turning it into a $47.6 million surplus as of Dec. 31, 2020. This was the fourth straight surplus achieved by the Saladino administration. As a result of this combined success, the New York State Comptroller’s Office removed the Town of Oyster Bay from its fiscal stress-monitoring list for the first time since the program’s inception in 2013.

Marching Band Captures Disney Magic “O ld-School Disney” is the theme for Massapequa High School’s marching band show for the 2021 season. More than 60 students spent three days rehearsing the music and their moves during the summer marching band camp from Aug. 10 to 12.

Band director Eva Arnold said that they chose a Disney theme because Massapequa High School music and art students will be taking a trip to Disney World in February. The marching band’s set will include older songs

like the “Mickey Mouse March” and “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.”

They will perform their show at least five times this season including at the Newsday Marching Band Festival in October at Mitchel Field and during halftime for the four home varsity football games, plus potential playoff games.

On the football field, band members worked on basic marching technique as well as their choreography, before retreating to the comfort of the air conditioning in the band

Seaford High School musicians will take a step back in time, about two decades before they were born, for this year’s marching band show.

The theme is “Seaford High School of Rock of Ages” and the show will feature numerous rock songs from the 1980s.

Band directors Christopher Coniglio and Anthony Romeo said some of this year’s selections will include “Wanted Dead or Alive” by Bon Jovi, “Crazy Train”

by Ozzy Osbourne and “Jump” by Van Halen. Students rehearsed the music and practiced the choreography during marching band camp from Aug. 9 to 13.

While the marching band and color guard members spent part of the morning out on the football field, members of the pit band were in the band room with music teacher Frank Battista. This year’s show features a stationary pit band with a guitar, keyboard, drum set and auxiliary percussion instruments, as opposed to the drum line, for the rock music show.

This year’s show will be performed at the Newsday Marching Band Festival in October at Mitchel Field and during the halftime ceremony of the four home varsity football games, plus potential playoff games. The band’s drum majors are senior Aurora Fitzgerald and junior Kerry Wise.

There were other elements to the band camp including the Romiglio Olympics (named for Romeo and Coniglio), with students split into teams based on their instrument sections. They competed in various events like a field goal-kicking contest, charades relay races and a lip sync battle. The camp concluded with a Friday evening performance on the football field for family members.

Update On Third Track Work In The Village

BY ANTHONY MURRAY amurray@antonmediagroup.com

T

he Village of New Hyde Park is almost at the finish line when it comes to the third track project that has been in process across the village for the past three years.

This past month, 3TC, who are the design-build contractors for the project, installed ballast along the south side of the right of way to support the future installation of the third track from Covert Avenue to the New Hyde Park station. For those who might not know what ballast is, it serves as a bed for rail road tracks and provides stability, drainage and support for LIRR trains. Crews install the stone in layers by placing it and tamping it down with

a tamping machine, followed by a roller that smooths out the ballast. This noticeable operation is done to create a consistent, flat surface for the future third track. Ballast was also installed from Plainfield Avenue to the east end of the Floral Park Recreation Center in Floral Park.

When it comes to the South 12th Street underpass, crews worked to relocate underground utilities from South 12th Street to South 11th.

Construction on the South 12th Street underpass is expected to be completed sometime this fall. The ADA compliant underSouth 12th Street is expected to reopen later this fall.

SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW The Art Guild cherishes its Elderfields Preserve stewardship

BY BOULEVARD STAFF

E

lderfields, also known as the HewlettMunson-Williams House, is one of the oldest homes on Cow Neck, (circa 1675) with one of the most interesting architectural histories.

In 1999 a group of local artists and those interested in the fine and decorative arts organized The Art Guild of Port Washington, Inc. By 2007 The Art Guild (TAG) signed an agreement with Nassau County for use of the Hewlett-Munson-Williams House at Elderfields Historic Preserve located at 200 Port Washington Blvd. in Manhasset, which was bequeathed to the county to be used for the arts.

“The Art Guild of Port Washington is a member-driven, nonprofit organization providing encouragement and education and a forum for the appreciation of the visual arts,” Sona Hyde, gallery manager of The Art Guild said. “We host 10 gallery shows per year, art classes for adults and children, as well as workshops and lectures by renowned visiting artists online and in-person throughout the year.”

Its mission is to provide encour-

agement, education and a forum for the appreciation of the visual arts by offering residents from local and neighboring communities an avenue to broaden their creative pursuits. It is an organization, currently with over 300 members, open to all people with a common goal to advance the visual arts.

It is unclear who built the oldest sections of Elderfields. Both date to the period of the first European owner of the property, George Hewlett (1634-1722). It is possible that Hewlett constructed one section of the house and the other was built elsewhere by Thornes.

(The Thorne family was related to the Hewletts, but never owned the property.) The Thorne structure was moved to the site in the 18th century.

The Elderfields farm, consisting of 190 acres, passed in 1722 from Hewlett to his son Lewis (1686-1763). It was most likely The Hewlett-Munson-Williams House

ELDERFIELDS AT A GLANCE The barn is currently being restored.

ELDERFIELDS from page 3 Lewis who expanded the house to its Georgian floor plan. The house and farm remained in family hands for almost another 200 years. After Lewis’s death, Elderfields went to his son James (1717-1805) and James’ widow Jemima. Upon Jemima’s death in 1825 their nephew, Lewis S. Hewlett (1776-1846) purchased the property and left the estate to his son Samuel L. (1803-1868) upon his death in 1846.

Samuel L. sold Elderfields to his uncle William H. Hewlett (1784-1866) four years later.

When Elderfields was passed to William H. Hewlett in 1850, judging from census records, it’s believed he did not live there, but let his daughter Martha, son-in-law John S. Morrell and their children use the house. After Martha’s death in 1864, her father altered his will to leave the house to her daughters Matilda and Maria. Maria died young and Matilda eventually inherited the entire estate.

She remained at Elderfields until 1904, when she sold the farm to Carlos W. Munson and his wife Mabel, ending 229 years of Hewlett family ownership.

It was Munson, heir to the Munson shipping line fortune, who dubbed the Hewlett farm Elderfields. Munson was a major developer of the Flower Hill area; he laid out many of the roads and house lots, as well as donated 15 acres of his land south of Elderfields to the Sisters of the Franciscan Missionaries in the 1920s to establish St. Francis Sanitarium, now St. Francis Hospital. In 1921, he had an additional house, which is currently a Nassau County apartment rental, moved onto

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.

Front Room Elderfields consists of three separate structures which, over the course of 300 years, have been joined together to form the current house. According to an architectural history prepared for the Williams family in 1984 by Zachary Studenroth, this room is the oldest portion of the building (the Art Guild’s office). An analysis of the wood beams in this room (and the beams in the basement) indicate that it was constructed as a one-room house around 1675, making it approximately the size and age of the original section of the Van Nostrand-Starkins House in Roslyn. Some of the original wide, poplar floorboards are about 18” wide.

Main Hall The Center Hall was constructed to join an additional house to the original structure to the east. The wide oak floorboards date to ca. 1690. The front Dutch door is original and constructed with hand-forged iron fittings. The initial purpose of a Dutch door was to keep animals out and children in, while allowing light and air in at the open top.

Main Gallery This room dates to circa 1690. Sometime in the mid-18th century, this entire side of the building was a separate house that was moved from Roslyn to its present location and joined to the original house by adding the center hallway, northwest room (The Art Guild’s library) and lean-to kitchen on the west side. At some point between 1846 and 1850, the main house was expanded to two and a half stories.

Back Door There is a single remaining pane of crown glass in the rear hallway door (two were lost during a fire in 2011). There are also two panes in the front door and two in the “mudroom” door in the kitchen. Glassmakers in the early 1800s made crown glass by blowing a bubble of glass, then spinning it until it was flat.

This process left a sheet of glass with a bump called a crown in the center.

The lock, also original, opens with a large skeleton key hanging to the right of the door.

Library The library, the large gallery at the front of the house and the center hallway joining the two oldest sections of the house were added in 1690. The fireplace was converted to burn coal, but is no longer working.

Kitchen/Fireplace This kitchen (The Art Guild’s classroom) was added in approximately 1690.

The large fireplace, where meals were cooked, is rumored to have hidden the family horse from the English during the revolution. It originally included a beehive oven.

Holding On To Summer Tips for bringing the indoors outside to extend the season

BY TANIA KAPOOR

With the month of August upon us, it seems like fall is just around the corner. We still have salt in our hair and can feel the ocean breeze on our faces, and we are not yet ready to welcome fall into our homes.

S

o how do we hold on to summer for just a little longer? Yes, there is the display with seashells and the nautical decorative cushions, but another way is to jump on the bandwagon of one of the biggest trends of 2021.

Blurring the lines between indoors and outdoors

This is not reserved only for the summer. We can continue blurring the lines as long as we are comfortable using our outdoor spaces and want to stay connected with nature.

Everything is larger

Large planters and flowerpots are a great addition to any front and backyard. They become part of the furnishings, adding visual interest, color, and fragrance. Place them next to the patio door so you can enjoy them not only when sitting outside but when you are inside and can gaze on the flowers through the glass doors.

Planters and flowerpots are not only meant for summer flowers. Come September, plant Mums, Dusty Millers and Goldenrods and continue

Tania Kapoor

enjoying their bright colors for weeks. Use the planters and containers in the winter to plant and decorate a small pine tree, for a festive winter outdoors.

Bare those windows

Bare windows are the best way to allow natural light to enter your home. Reserve the use of your heavy, silk curtains

to cozy up a room in the winter and bring in more playful elements when the outside is grey and gloomy. The rest of the year, enjoy the natural light—it elevates the mood, and makes rooms and homes more welcoming and calming.

There is something immensely calming in looking through the window when the tree branches are swaying in the wind.

If you need to cover the windows, use sheers, or tension curtain rods which can be easily removed, so you can still see the outside and enjoy the outdoors whenever you want.

Carpets, firepits and blankets

Late summer and early fall are one of the best times to be outside, to open the doors and windows, to entertain or simply enjoy the sunset from your backyard. No heat, no bugs.

Treat the outdoors like it is

another room in your home.

Use comfortable furniture and define the different areas of the outdoors by placing outdoor runners and area rugs, and using planters and containers to bring in a focal point or

direct traffic. Create a gathering space around a table or a firepit. Or just use a blanket and have a backyard picnic.

Longing For Homogeneity New historical novel set on Fire Island

BY CHRISTY HINKO

S

till need a beachy summer read? Don’t pass up a chance to check out Patricia Beard’s first piece of fiction, A Certain Summer, set in Wauregan, loosely based on Point O’ Woods, an existing private vacation retreat |hamlet on Fire Island.

“When my children were small we went to Point O’Woods and it was very much the way it is in the book, the same place it was in 1948,” Beard said. “It just has not changed very much.”

A Certain Summer explores the aftermath of World War II in a place where “nothing ever changes.”

The principal character is Helen Wadsworth, the wife (or possibly widow) of a World War II wartime intelligence Office of Strategic Services (OSS) operative, who has been reported missing-in-action.

Other major characters are Helen’s husband’s OSS partner, who survived the mission; a former Marine and his war dog; and Helen’s teenage son.

“When Helen says that it (Wauregan) was her safe place, part of the reason is because of its homogeneity and its simplicity and the fact that it’s different from places where there was a lot more hustle and bustle.”

Helen’s character took form naturally.

“Helen is the way I imagined I might have been myself at that time in those circumstances,” Beard said.

“It was pretty easy to write Helen and it was even easier to write Peter because he was so attractive.”

The setting evolved quite genu-

“I mentioned in the book that Helen sprinkled baby powder between the sheets because they were so damp at the seashore, but that’s what I did when my children were little, so the beds (and the children) always had a lovely scent of Johnson’s baby powder.” Beard recalled in one instance. “Unfortunately, the house that I inely for Beard also. describe in the book, “When I was at which is the house Town & Counthat we rented for try, they had many years, was archives going swept out to sea.” back a hunSummer places dred and some have always been years,” Beard an important said. “I had the part of Beard’s idea of writing life.

As we march on in our quest for normalcy, we look outwards to highlight destinations our readers might want to visit now that the world is starting to open up again.

It is maintained

by The Art Guild, which cherishes its role as the custodian of this historic museum, farm and nature preserve. We also preview the upcoming Heritage Committee Summer Garden party hosted by the North Shore Land Alliance. Elsewhere, we cover how Merchant Marine Academy alums pay tribute to fallen midshipmen with spirit and we spotlight how Manhasset cemetery touts one of its permanent residents, Revolutionary War Army Surgeon Dr. James Cogswell.

Our blvd. II lifestyles section also touches on interior designer Tania Kapoor’s tips for extending your summer by bringing the indoors outside. We also shine a spotlight on how Drew Barrymore’s décor and fashion brand expanded its line to eyewear, which is now available locally. Rachel Dobkin focuses on what to wear this fall and emerging fashion trends. And for those foodies, we’ve got a piece on Oniro Taverna in Woodbury, whose menu transports your taste buds to the Mediterranean. For car enthusiasts, we shine the spotlight on the redesigned Volvo XC90, which has remained a top seller for the brand for nearly two decades.

On the entertainment side of the coin, Dave Gil de Rubio sits down with Robert Lamm, founding member of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame outfit Chicago.

History Mystery: A REVOLUTIONARY SURGEON LIES HERE

BY CHRISTY HINKO

The Death of General Warren at the Battle of Bunker’s Hill, June 17, 1775 by John Trumbull (circa 18th century). Vintage etching circa 19th century.

Local gravesite marks the resting ground of true patriot

Pen and ink rendering of Christ Church as it looked in 1803.

C

hrist Church Manhasset is the final resting place of Dr. James Cogswell, a Revolutionary War patriot and surgeon who served on George Washington’s staff.

At All Saints Cemetery in Kings Point (Great Neck) recently, geneologist Phyllis Sternemann was overheard telling an archivist who was also researching gravesites that one of the most interesting burials in Manhasset was a fascinating character from the Revolutionary War, but that it has been a labor of love trying to uncover new details of this man’s life.

Dr. James Cogswell’s headstone is located in Christ Church’s graveyard.

Daughters of the American Revolution dedicated a bronze plaque to the surgeon in the 1940s.

Two years ago, Christ Church hosted a cemetery walk and was able to cobble together a few facts from the existing headstone and a bronze plaque which had been donated to the church in 1949 by the North Riding Chapter, National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) organization. With dwindling membership of DAR and the disruption from the pandemic, research efforts had temporarily hit another road block.

Grafted from the plaque, it is known that Cogswell was a philanthropist and was one of the originators of the New York Dispensary System of a Society for the Relief of Distressed Debtors. He was also one of the founders of the first African school, which was established in New York City in 1787, as a one-room schoolhouse with 40 students. It was once located at 137 Mulberry St. but has since been razed for new development and apartment buildings. He was a devoted Christian.

Sternemann shared some of her own research about Cogswell, revealing that he was a member of the Manumission Society, founded

by John Jay to battle against slave trade and work toward emancipating slaves in New York. The organization was instrumental in passing a law in New York which prohibited the sale of slaves in 1785.

Yale University’s library is a repository for the Cogswell family papers. Contained within the boxes are letters between Cogswell and his father according to the library’s finding aide. Efforts to obtain a new viewing appointment

Wife and husband re-enactors Rebekah Madebach and Clayton Tadler

at Yale, or at the very least to have one of the Yale archivists research the contents of the box to identify more clues about Cogswell, were canceled due to ongoing campus COVID restrictions.

What was obtained several years ago from the Yale collection for the script of the 2019 cemetery walk and read by Clayton Tadler, acting as Cogswell, was a letter from the surgeon to his father, Rev. James Cogswell.

The first portion of one of the letters reads:

Camp at Roxbury, 7th June, 1775.

Dear and Honored Sir, The bearer is just setting out, and I have but a few moments to employ in writing to you. We are all hurry and confusion here. We have been for several days expecting a visit from our neighbors and making preparations to give them a suitable reception. Last night 1,100 men began to break ground at Dorchester Hill, and have not been molested this morning.

Col. Putnam began to intrench last night at Bonchee’s Hill, on Charleston side. They have fired a number of cannon upon him this morning, but the firing is now ceased.

The troops are healthy, orderly, and in fine spirits, waiting with the utmost impatience to have the Regulars sally out. I live in a house with the worthy Gen. Spencer. He appears to me the most sagacious, active officer I have seen in the camp.

The Generals in their colony (as it is now called) are worthy men, but they are not trained to make such quick dispatch of business as

military duty requires. I hope you will write to me frequently.

Also obtained from the Yale papers is that Cogswell was born in Canterbury, CT, to James and Alice Fitch Cogswell on July 31, 1746. He studied medicine and began his practice in Preston, CT. He served as an army surgeon at Cambridge, MA, during the Battle of Bunker Hill.

In August of 1776, he married Elizabeth Davenport and they settled in Stamford, CT, raising one child, Alice. His wife died in 1779. As the war progressed, Cogswell was called upon again to aid the patriot cause. He was assigned as regimental surgeon to General Gold Selleck Sillman, who was on duty at New York with the Connecticut militia. He took his younger brother, Mason on as his assistant.

When the war ended, Cogswell returned home and remarried Abigail Lloyd four years later and had four children. They moved to New York where Cogswell continued his medical practice and maintained an apothecary business. Cogswell contracted yellow fever while attending to a sickened patient; he died on Nov. 22, 1792.

Christ Church Manhasset Historic Cemetery Tour will be held this fall and re-enactors will portray other fascinating characters on Saturday, Oct. 2. This year’s tour will feature a World War I doughboy, an aristocrat, a grave digger, society lady, merchant, surveyor and fire survivors, among several others.

Manhasset’s history will come to life at the corner of Plandome Road and Northern Boulevard.

Clayton Tadler re-enacted James Cogswell in a past cemetery walk in Manhasset.

HERITAGE COMMITTEE SUMMER GARDEN PARTY North Shore Land Alliance hosts its young members

The North Shore Land Alliance held the young member’s Heritage Committee Summer Garden party on Saturday, July 10, at their 28-acre Humes Preserve in Mill Neck. Guests enjoyed picture-perfect weather, live music and a variety of wines while looking out over the historic property’s beautiful meadow. The Pinons pizza company cooked a mix of their specialty pizzas on site.

T

he annual Heritage Committee event is geared towards the next generation of conservationists. This 18-to–35-year-old group comprises a wonderful cross section of people who grew up on the North Shore of Long Island and others who have chosen to make our community their home. They share a common bond of loving nature

and our community and know their action is critical to protecting it for future generations.

Since its inception in 2003, the North Shore Land Alliance has preserved nearly 1,300 acres of open space. The nonprofit owns or helps maintain 12 preserves open to the public and holds conservation on easements more than 26 prop-

erties. Throughout the year the Land Alliance offers a variety of educational programs like the Walks in the Woods, Water Education Program and Young Explorers Group.

John O’Mara

Bill Karlson

Academy alums’ distilled tribute to WWII midshipmen

BY CHRISTY HINKO

T

rue to the motto of the United States Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) service academy, Acta non Verba (meaning “deeds, not words”), two academy alums (1982) and lifelong friends Bill Karlson and John O’Mara are the “K” and the “O” in KO Distilling, making a special tribute spirit they’ve named Battle Standard 142 Gin, in honor of the academy’s fallen World War II midshipmen.

The distillers met as classmates and cadet/midshipmen at the USMMA in Kings Point many years ago and have been friends ever since. After graduation, Karlson and O’Mara went their separate ways but followed similar paths. Both initially sailed in the Merchant Marine and served in the United States Navy Reserve.

Upon retiring early, the question became, “what next?” Neither one being satisfied with sitting idle, in 2013 Karlson and O’Mara set off to create craft spirits with local ingredients, high-quality production methods and a passion that they were excited to share with their local community.

Since breaking ground in 2015, the duo has turned KO Distilling into a state-of-the-art production facility and local attraction in Manassas, VA. After their initial offering of unaged craft whiskey and gins in 2015, Karlson and O’Mara realized their goal of producing their first aged spirit, Bare Knuckle American Wheat Whiskey, in November 2016.

We had a chance to speak with KO Distilling Co-founder and CEO Karlson.

Here’s what he had to say.

Q. How did you come up with the idea to create Battle Standard 142 Gin? A. A gin lover, John deserves the credit for coming up with the name Battle Standard 142 and for insisting on us starting out with both 90 proof and Navy Strength (114 Proof) expressions of the gins.

Q. What’s the significance of the 142 midshipmen?

How is this gin historically relevant?

A. Battle Standard 142 Gins are named in honor of the 142 Cadet/Midshipmen from the USMMA who lost their lives serving their country in World War II. KO Distilling co-founders’ alma mater, the USMMA, is the only federal academy authorized to fly a Battle Standard in memory of those brave men who made the ultimate sacrifice.

During WWII, the American Merchant Marines had more deaths per capita than any U.S. military service. Many of the mariners, including the 142, who made the ultimate sacrifice sailed on liberty ships. The Navy Strength bottle has an image of the SS John W. Brown, while the Standard Strength bottle has an image of the SS Jeremiah O’Brien. Of the 2,710 liberty ships constructed in American shipyards from 1941 to 1945, only these two liberty ships remain in active service. The Brown and O’Brien are docked in Baltimore and San Francisco, respectively.

Q. Was Battle Standard your first product?

A. Because KO Co-Founder John O’Mara was a gin enthusiast, we opted to produce our own take on American-style gins. Battle Standard 142 gins were born. KO starting producing Standard and Navy Strength expressions of Battle Standard 142 in 2015.

We added the Barrel Finished expression in 2016.

Q. Explain the difference between the recipes.

A. Battle Standard 142 Gin Standard Strength is the 90 proof variation of the Battle Standard 142 Gin Navy Strength. While they are distilled in the same fashion, this spirit is uniquely different in that its proofing allows you to taste the more delicate botanicals involved. Battle Standard 142 Gin Standard Strength has a subtle array of flavors that include juniper, citrus, cinnamon, spice, earth and floral notes.

Battle Standard 142 Gin Navy Strength derives its name, “Navy Strength,” from the British Navy’s practice of proofing gin rations to 114 proof. This was done so that if spilled on the ship’s gunpowder, the gunpowder could still be fired in battle. Don’t let its higher proof fool you, Battle Standard 142 Gin Navy Strength is surprisingly smooth with big, bold and vibrant notes of juniper, citrus and cinnamon.

Battle Standard 142 Gin Barrel Finished has been “rested” or “finished” in used bourbon barrels. This extra step creates a beautiful golden hue and imparts sweetness from the bourbon barrel, along with a slight oakiness. Battle Standard 142 Gin Barrel Finished combines its subtle array of botanical notes with the sweetness of the bourbon barrel to produce a wonderful flavor reminiscent of honey or honeysuckle.

Q. Any plans to expand the brand, to possibly bring it to Long Island?

A. KO Distilling products are currently available in retail stores in Washington, DC, Virginia and Maryland. The company is planning an expansion and because of the strong ties to USMMA, New York is on the top of our list; local distribution is in its planning phase.

Battle Standard 142 is available online through Shared Pour (www.sharedpour.com).

The following is an excerpt from Braving the Wartime Seas by author and academy alum (1957) George Ryan: The Battle Standard

The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy is privileged among the nation’s five federal academies to be the only institution authorized to carry a battle standard as part of its color guard.

The proud and colorful battle standard perpetuates the memory of the 142 Academy Cadet-Midshipmen who died during World War II. The 142

The number “142” is enshrined at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. Every plebe learns within days of reporting to Kings Point that 142 Cadet-Midshipmen died during World War II. Their names along with the names of graduates who died are cast in bronze on the Memorial facing Long Island Sound. Yet a review of the following pages will find that the hallowed number is hard to pin down regarding the circumstances of their death. Several of the “142” died while in training by accident or illness in the United States, far from the enemy’s torpedoes or bombs. Others, even while overseas in combat areas, died of disease, shipboard accidents or one in a traffic accident while ashore seeing the sights of exotic foreign lands. The same is also true for the Academy’s alumni who died during the war.

There is some confusion about how the number 142 came about. A New York Times article on March 16, 1946 mentions “. . . war memorial services for the 132 cadet-midshipmen who lost their lives in training at sea with the Cadet Corps.” Other accounts indicate that Gordon McClintock, the Academy’s longest serving Superintendent, simply decreed that 142 was the number and ordered his staff to make the number work.

Research into the Academy’s historical documents both at the Academy and in the National Archives shows that the end of World War II was a chaotic period in many ways. One of the methods of determining which of the thousands of war time U.S. Maritime Commission Cadets, Cadet Officers, Cadet-Midshipmen and Academy’s graduates had died was by sending letters to their last known address on the assumption that the Post Office would forward the letters and the recipient would respond. This method worked very well, but not perfectly. Thus, the name of one alumnus who did not actually die until the 1990s is on the War Memorial; the names of one Cadet-Midshipman a company cadet and a graduate are missing and Cadet Andrew Hoggatt who died in 1940 probably should not be there. Nothing is perfect, especially when dealing with human beings during wartime.

However, the importance of “142” to Kings Point and Kings Pointers is not whether the number is factually correct. The actual number is irrelevant; 142 is the symbol that defines Kings Point as a unique institution, the only Federal Academy that routinely sends its students into combat. Only Kings Point has the honor of having a Regimental Battle Standard. Yet, the Academy would still have its Regimental Battle Standard if only 14 Cadet-Midshipmen had died in World War II combat.

Should the War Memorial be “corrected” or “142” changed? No. The name of the one Kings Pointer on the memorial who didn’t die in World War II represents all of the thousands of Kings Pointers who volunteered to go into combat, came back, graduated and moved on with their lives.

The names on the War Memorial include the “142”, Maritime Commission Cadet Officers and Kings Point graduates; every one of them, whoever they might be, represent the ultimate expression of the Academy’s motto “Acta non Verba – Deeds not Words”.

Every Kings Pointer is a volunteer, just like the “142”. No one can force a person to go to Kings Point, let alone graduate; just like no one could force the “142” to go where they would ultimately die. This is the real message of the “142” to the generations of Kings Pointers who made the Academy what it is today and for those that will shape its future.

VOLVO: YOU SHOULD BE IN ONE The XC90 banks its reputation on two decades of automotive expertise

C

BY CHRISTY HINKO

among other details.

“The XC model has been around for about 20 years,” Yankov said. “It’s safe, well-built and they last forever, with an 25-year lifespan.”

In the cabin, the XC90 provides a calm and balanced environment with a blend of high-end materials such as wood, crystal and metal in a sophisticated Scandinavian design. The XC90 can be ordered with a range of different seating configurations, from the seven-seat family SUV to a brand new six-seat configuration. New interior materials including a wool blend offer further options for personalization.

ollege professors have known something that, for more than 20 years, the rest of us did not realize. Not only is the Volvo brand classically stylish, it is amazingly safe to boot.

We had a chance to speak with Helms Brothers Volvo Sales Manager Daniel Yankov about this exciting time for the brand, specifically the current success of its XC90 SUV model.

“Volvo has evolved a lot; it’s not just college professionals anymore, we are getting a lot of new customers, a great mix of everyone from all demographics, especially young families who want to put their families in something safe, that also looks very nice,” Yankov said. “Historically, higher-learning professionals, college professors and well-educated people have been the most notable customers of Volvo and Saab.”

Yankov has been with Helms Brothers in Bayside for more than 20 years and with its Volvo brand for nearly four years now. He said the brand has been surprised with the way the pandemic has shaped their business.

“With COVID, we have sold and leased a lot of cars, especially to first-time car buyers,” Yankov said. “People did not want to be on the train or on public transportation during that time.”

A majority of the car transactions, in many of the vehicle brands, as well as Volvo, are leases, as opposed to outright sales.

“More than 80 percent of our clients are leasing,” Yankov confirmed.

This year’s popular Volvo model is the XC90, a large, seven-seat SUV and the company’s flagship. It was the first car to be launched on the Scalable Product Architecture (SPA), Volvo’s advanced modular product platform that underpins all Volvo cars in the 90 and 60 series.

“People who necessarily don’t want to be flashy and show that they are successful, buy the car because it’s understated, but extremely safe,” Yankov said. “It’s a seven-passenger vehicle, so there’s plenty of room for the kids.”

Like its siblings S90 and V90, the XC90 carries the proud and confident face of Volvo’s design language, along with classic Volvo styling cues.

Key features include the iconic “Thor’s Hammer” LED headlight design and the Volvo word mark on the rear. The car’s exterior design was upgraded for the 2020 model year with new wheels, exterior colors and a modern new grill,

Connectivity and infotainment All new Volvos are now connected, thanks to Volvo’s connectivity and infotainment system. It delivers an intuitive touch screen interface that combines car functions, navigation, connected services and in-car entertainment applications such as Spotify, Pandora, Baidu or TuneIn. The portrait-oriented touch screen enables easy and fast access to a host of functions and features. Smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is also available.

Powertrain technology The XC90 is powered by Volvo’s Drive-E powertrains, including petrol and diesel variants as well as a T8 Twin Engine AWD petrol plug-in hybrid that delivers as much as 407hp. It is also available with a range of 48 volt mild hybrid variants on both petrol and diesel powertrains.

“With everything shifting to electric, Volvo’s goal is for every model to be electric, or at least a hybrid, by 2025,” Yankov said. “They are a very progressive company.”

Safety and driver assistance

The XC90’s comfortable seating options for up to seven occupants are designed for journeys best shared.

Volvo’s leadership in the field of automotive safety is confirmed in the XC90. The SPA platform has resulted in the strongest Volvo cars to date because of extensive use of boron steel, as well as numerous safety systems designed to protect people inside and outside the car.

“God forbid, if you are in an accident, you should be in a Volvo. The XC-90, in more than 20 years that it has been on the road, has not had a single fatality as a result of a car accident,” Yankov said. “Not that there have not been accidents, but not many brands, if any, can say that.”

Helms Brothers, established in 1934, has three dealership franchises, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and Volvo. The business continues its tradition of being family-owned, originally by the brothers, Charlie and Frank. And now by Doug Callahan.

Helms Brothers’ Volvo Cars of Queens is located at 207-22 Northern Blvd. in Bayside. Visit www. volvocarsofqueens.com or call 833-240-0072 for sales, service assistance and to test drive the 2021 XC90 SUV. Visit www.volvocars.com to learn more about the brand and specific models.

TAKE ME BACK TO CHICAGO

Rock and Roll Hall of Famers return to the road and plan 2022 album

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

When the great COVID-19 lockdown slammed the brakes on the entire live music industry, like every other touring act, Chicago and its members were forced to head back to their individual homes and wait out the pandemic storm.

F

or founding member Robert Lamm, this meant beelining to Southern California with Joy Kopko, his wife of 30 years, where the couple sequestered for months. It was both a shock to the system and a welcome respite for Lamm, who has been recording and touring with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group ever since he launched it back in 1967 along with Peter Cetera, Terry Kath, Lee Loughnane, James Pankow, Walter Parazaider and Danny Seraphine. For the self-described loner, this metaphysical pause button allowed him to delve deeper into his creative side.

“For me, I knew it was going to be a long time—I just didn’t know how long,” Lamm recalled. “Lately in my life, I haven’t really had time to plan anything, so I just sat down in my little studio at the piano and started playing. I started pulling out ideas

that I had stockpiled over the years and exploring that music.

I began thinking about how I always wanted to write with this guy or that guy. I just started calling old friends and, in some cases, new friends. I began collaborating using file sharing.

That kind of really became my everyday thing. It was so much fun and such an old process of sitting down and finding out what is there—what is it that I have to say? Lyrically, especially, I found out I was getting deeper and deeper in terms of things I wanted to say and do, things I wanted to express, but I just hadn’t had time to explore that before. It was really a wonderful thing for me.”

One of the collaborations Lamm struck was with Jim Peterik, a founding member of fellow horn-driven band The Ides of March and later of Survivor. Despite only having met Peterik at a show a couple of years ago, Lamm quickly bonded with

his new writing partner. (“His work method and my work method really blended together.”) Before long, the Lamm/Peterik partnership caught the ear of BMG producer Joe Thomas (Brian Wilson/ Dave Matthews Band), who insisted Lamm’s news songs could be the basis for a new label deal for the band, a notion that surprised the septuagenerian musician. “[Joe] asked me if I thought Chicago might want to record some of these songs and I said I could only ask as it wasn’t really my plan,” Lamm said. “It turned out to be the plan. We’re about halfway through a really interesting album with Joe Thomas as producer and BMG as our releasing label. I guess it’ll drop right after the first of the year. We thought we were done and that there wasn’t any record company interested in late-career Chicago. But they were very interested after they heard the songs.”

As an act known for its relentless road schedule, not having missed one year of touring since the beginning, Lamm admits there’ll be the need for him and his bandmates to get together to knock off the rust, starting with a quick 11-show stint of gigs before taking a quick break and then tackling 80 more dates through the end of 2021. It becomes even more challenging when trying to incorporate newer material in with Chicago classics.

“We just kind of talked briefly and we’re going to start with where we left off,” Lamm said. “There are probably a few little adjustments we intended to make anyway in terms of the song lineup, who sings what and where they’re going to stand when they sing it. [Playing new songs] is always a tricky thing. We’re a legacy band, so we have to really take care of our fans when we do this. I know when I go to a show, I want to hear the songs that I’m familiar with of the artist whose concert I’m attending. I don’t particularly want to hear a lot of stuff I’m not familiar with.”

Back To The Beginning There are many sides to a band like Chicago—a self-described “rock and roll band with horns,” a steady presence on MTV during the early to mid-1980s and an outfit capable of churning out ballads that often find their way into wedding vows and prom themes (I have personally experienced the latter). And while the identity of this group can be debated, the one indisputable fact is that this outfit has enjoyed an unbroken string of longevity that not only dates to its 1967 founding, but the release of its 1969 debut Chicago Transit Authority.

Over the course of the band’s career, Chicago had amassed an impressive canon over their five-plus decades of playing together; in addition to carving out a respected live show that’s developed out of a combination of an unparalleled work ethic and relentless time on the road. Chicago has sold more than 100 million records worldwide while amassing 47 gold and platinum records, Chicago Transit Authority, Chicago’s along with 70 charting songs. self-titled 1969 debut album, yielded Driven by the four founding two Top 10 hits, “Does Anybody members—Robert Lamm Really Know What Time It Is?” and (keyboards, vocals), Lee “Beginnings.”

Loughnane (trumpet, vocals), James Pankow (trombone) and Walt Parazaider (woodwinds)—the band has toured and not missed a year of playing live since the beginning. Parazaider’s Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis back in April of this year led to his coming off the road and having his role filled by saxophonist Ray Hermann. Lamm found out shortly after it was announced.

“Walt’s wife texted us and I had an exchange with him,” Lamm said. “It was not too long after it was discovered and he was already under treatment and therapy. We’re hoping for the best. We’re sort of at the age when we’re really noticing that certain people are not around anymore. It’s the passage of time and life.”

Pre-pandemic, the band’s last tour focused on recreating The band’s 1970 sophomore bow Chi1970’s critically and commercago II, was the group’s breakthrough cially successful sophomore effort and features a trio of Top 10 bow Chicago II, a case of givhits–”Make Me Smile,” “Colour My ing the people what they want.

World” and “25 or 6 to 4.”

“We were out performing with a 10-man line-up and calling the tour, ‘Chicago and Their Hits,’ which is a bit of a misnomer because we were not just doing hits.

We were doing songs that we wanted to do,” Lamm said. “There’s very little in the Chicago repertoire that’s performable on a nightto-night basis that most people are not familiar with. Even if you’re not a fan, you could hardly avoid Chicago’s stuff on the radio for at least four decades.

Even now, certain aspects of the repertoire—the music is played somewhere in the world constantly. We’re very lucky.”

For those looking for a more in-depth examination of the band’s long and illustrious history, Now More Than Ever: The History of Chicago is a solid jumping-off point. The award-winning documentary, Now More Than Ever: The History released around the time the of Chicago is a 2016 documentary band was receiving its 2016 that originally aired on CNN induction into the Rock & Roll of Fame, perfectly chronicled the ups and downs of this wildly successful group. For Lamm, the organic way it came about was what helped define the end result.

“The director/cameraman was Peter Pardini, a then-recent graduate of the UCLA Film School at the time. He happens to be the

nephew of Lou Pardini, our other keyboardist and vocalist. Peter traveled with us quite a bit,” Lamm explained. “For a band this late in their career, we were still doing very interesting projects and returning to Europe after being away for 25 years, along with touring through Asia, and a number of other things. Peter was always around with a camera. Because he was sort of family, we were very comfortable with him being around. Every once in awhile, he’d ask to interview us in a way where he’d be off camera. That was a very comfortable situation and after a short while, we became much less self-aware and were very relaxed. As a result, after all these hours and a couple of years, he got us to talk about things we generally weren’t asked about and didn’t particularly talk about. For me, a lot of it is talking about the past, which is not something I particularly think about. I’m usually thinking about now and tomorrow.”

Chock full of vintage footage balanced by more contemporary interview segments, Now More Than Ever not only captures the band’s commercial triumphs, but shone a light on the brilliance of late guitarist/founding member Terry Kath. It also addressed the fissures in the band in the post-Kath era that included a number of personnel changes, most notably that of vocalist/bassist Peter Cetera, who declined to be interviewed for the film. And while the three years before Cetera’s departure coincided with Chicago getting dropped by CBS, getting picked up by Warner Brothers subsidiary Full Moon Records and scoring a string of David Foster-produced Top 20 hits, less emphasis was placed on the band’s horn-driven sound and the group wound up becoming known for its power ballads. The friction that came out of this kind of success is something Lamm has a considerably different perspective about decades later.

“Hindsight is a great view, because somehow we lived through that. But, I also have come to learn from that experience. I really feel that David did what he was hired to do, which was almost impossible because he was taking a band that had been very successful—internationally. But we were down for the count, as far as our career was concerned, for a number of reasons,” the Brooklyn native said. “But, he did what he had to do and he did it the way a good producer does it. He makes the decisions. He gets the music written and produced. He gets the music performed and if he has to bring in a session player, he does that because time is of the essence. And time was of the essence. I think everything he did, he did right. Personality-wise has nothing to do with it, because it was really about getting the music done and getting it done to sound as great as he could get it. He did what he was supposed to do. I was really troubled going through it. But now I look at it and think that it didn’t kill me and it all worked out okay. I have nothing but respect for David.”

Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Recognition While Lamm’s view of Chicago’s 2016 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame provided quite a bit of self satisfaction (“I felt vindicated for the band. I was very happy for the band. But none of that compared to how much fun it was to actually be in Brooklyn rehearsing and meeting some of the other inductees,”) Cetera’s decision to not show up alongside the band was a bit puzzling to Lamm.

“I’ve talked to Peter off and on and met with him over the years.

Chicago Transit Authority circa 1969

I didn’t realize how intensely he felt that he could never, for any reason, stand or play with the band again—except on his terms,” Lamm said. “I just didn’t understand that. I don’t dislike the guy or anything like that. I think he’s a good and nice man. He’s a great bass player and no one can argue with the beauty of his voice and singing. But I didn’t understand and don’t understand the intensity of his feelings. But I’m not at liberty to say what he told me.”

Looking Forward The latest juncture in Lamm’s career found him hitting the reset button on his creative pursuits. During his pandemic-fueled downtime, the Brooklyn native did songwriting woodshopping by doing deep dives into composers ranging from Neil Young and Burt Bacharach to exploring myriad soundtracks from Hollywood’s Golden Age. These efforts have yielded fruit in the shape of a potential solo effort on BMG that may get released next year.

“As I was inundating Joe Thomas with these songs, he said after this album comes out he’d produce my solo album for BMG,” Lamm said. “I asked him if he was sure that BMG would want it and he said, ‘Believe me, they’re going to want it.’”

As for Chicago’s longevity. Lamm’s feeling is that it comes down to the basics.

“I credit the songs and the music. Obviously, the sound of the band is appealing to a lot of people. The way the horns are used is very different than what other bands do. The idiosyncrasies of the way [they sound]—and believe me, I really had a chance to consider that when we did Chicago II. Those aren’t even songs— those are compositions,” he said. “Who knows why ‘Saturday in the Park’ is so popular? I think that when I was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, I was of course asked to do something from Chicago, which I did. I think I performed ‘Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?’ and I rehearsed with a New York session band, which was the back-up group. Even those guys said, ‘It’s a great song man.’”

This year marks Chicago’s 53rd anniversary as a band (Peter C. Pardini)

Dreaming Of Seaside Grecian Cuisine Oniro Taverna offers casual, rustic dining

BY CHRISTY HINKO

If you are looking for authentic Greek cuisine with freshly imported ingredients, you must try Oniro Taverna, a beautiful favorite, co-owned by the Spyropoulos family (co-owners of Limani on Long Island and Manhattan), in Woodbury since May 2018.

O

niro—meaning dream—channels the aesthetic of a Greek tavern; it is rustic and casual, yet refined and modern. Oniro offers a space big enough for private events, but intimate enough to host a romantic date for two.

The menu at Oniro Taverna, with Greek staples reimagined by Executive Chef Peter Spyropoulos (previously of Bouley and Le Cirque), offers a great selection of exceedingly delicious flavors, from both land and sea, as well as plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options.

I chose an appetizer assortment for my first visit to Oniro Taverna so that I could get the best sampling of all of the Mediterranean flavors

being offered. Here are some of my suggestions: Ananas: Pineapple-infused cocktail on the rocks is a refreshing start to a hearty meal. The vodka is not too astringent and pairs well with the freshly infused pineapple. The fruit is really up front on this beverage.

All of the wait staff have been trained to mix and prepare cocktails.

Agiorgitiko: The Greek Wine Cellars (GWC) 2017 red wine from Santorini is full-bodied, grapey and also a great choice to kick off the meal. Oniro has an extensive selection of Greek wines featuring a medley of white, red, and rosé.

Meze: the appetizers range in price from $12 to $21. Complementary hum-

mus with bread is a solid start to the meal, but don’t fill up on it. You’ll need room for all of the goodness being prepared for your table while you wait.

Keftedakia (meatballs): Sautéed lamb and beef Greek meatballs with parsley, dill and mint are drizzled with olive oil.

These small-sized meatballs are the perfect blend of lamb and beef, but the lamb does not steal the show in the mixture.

Spanikopita (spinach pie): two full, enough for 3-4 people, crispy, yet thin phyllo dough cradles of spinach, leek and feta. Because it is a classic, it is critical for it to be this good.

Garides Loukoumades (shrimp tempura): Another generous-portion appetizer is the bite-sized shrimp tempura. Eating it by itself is good, but pairing it with the

Eggplant and zucchini chips

The Greek salad is ultra-fresh.

accompanying mildly spicy aioli, even better.

Elliniki (Greek salad): The ultra-fresh vegetables look like they were just picked from someone’s garden before the chef put it together. It is not a lettuce-based salad. It has sliced white onion, Kalamata olives (imported), cucumber, and a ton of vine-ripened tomato, topped with imported barrel-aged feta and sprouts.

Saganaki: These pillows of lightly fried imported Kefalograviera cheese are topped with leeks, olive oil and oregano, simple yet perfect accents to many of Oniro Taverna’s dishes. If you are a cheese lover, especially if you have never had saganaki, it is a must for your cheese bucket list. The Kefalograviera has a distinct flavor.

Octapodi: the perfectly grilled sashimi-quality octopus with red onion, capers and bell pepper is drizzled with freshly imported olive oil.

Entrees: Pasta dishes ($34).

Whole fish are set at market price and are typically imported from the Mediterranean Sea. Seafood dishes ($26-33). Meat entrees (beef, chicken, lamb) range in price from $26 to $45.

Desserts: When you taste Oniro’s Greek yogurt, you will understand why it’s imported.

It is not like anything you have ever tasted before. The honey and sour cherry preserves are also imported. The classic walnut cake and rice pudding are familiar versions of traditional family recipes.

Oniro Taverna has plenty of parking and tons of indoor and outdoor seating. There

Assumption Feast Rises Again

he pandemic in 2020 reduced Westbury’s annual Feast of the Assumption to the traditional Mass at St. Brigid Church and a short procession. The 111th edition, held Aug. 13-15 at Dell’Assunta Society parking lot, was a return to the festivities of the past.

“The feast was scaled down compared to pre-2020, but more than last year,” said Society member and photographer Michael Lettera.

“We had good attendance at Mass and feast evenings.”

In addition to honoring the Blessed Mother, the feast delivered Italian food, rides, a casino and an auction. According to its website, “This benevolent society was originally founded in 1911 by Italian immigrants from Durazzano, Naples, Nola and Saviano. The founding members wanted to preserve both their Italian cultural heritage and Catholic religious traditions. For over a century the Dell’Assunta Society has proudly honored the Blessed Mother and contributed to many charitable causes in both the Roman Catholic Church and in our local community.”

Bynoe Meets The Superintendents In preparation for the 2021-2022 school year, Nassau County Legislator Siela A. Bynoe (D–Westbury) recently welcomed a trailblazing group of local education leaders to the Theodore Roosevelt & Executive Building.

The gathering included Hempstead Union Free School District Superintendent Regina Armstrong; Malverne Union Free School District Superintendent Dr. Lorna Lewis; Uniondale Union Free School District Superintendent Dr. Monique DarrisawAkil; and Westbury Union Free School District Superintendent Dr. Tahira A. Dupree Chase.

Discussions at the meeting focused

upon capital funding opportunities through the County’s Community Revitalization Grant (CRP) program; the culmination of efforts that Bynoe initiated in 2019 to bring school bus stop-arm cameras to Nassau County; long-term goals for the superintendents’ respective school communities; and opportunities for collaborative initiatives and more.

Additional topics of conversation included opportunities for local school districts through the Nassau HUB community benefits package; workforce development contained within the proposal; and potential vocational training programs that Bynoe is currently

advocating for in her role as co-chair of the Nassau HUB Community Benefits Advisory Committee’s workforce development subcommittee.

“It was truly a pleasure and a privilege to facilitate such an important discussion about the youth of our community and the future of education in the Second Legislative District,” Bynoe said. “With the new school year fast approaching, I look forward to working closely with this outstanding team of educators in pursuit of our shared mission of creating new opportunities for the families we are entrusted with serving.”

Keeping Your Pets Safe During A Disaster

BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

T

he best way to protect your family from the effects of a disaster is to have a disaster plan. If you are a pet owner, that plan must include your pets. Being prepared can save their lives.

Different disasters require different responses. But whether the disaster is a hurricane or a hazardous spill, you may have to evacuate your home.

In the event of a disaster, if you must evacuate, the most important thing you can do to protect your pets is to evacuate them. Leaving pets behind, even if you try to create a safe place for them, is likely to result in their being injured, lost or worse. So prepare now for the day when you and your pets may have to leave your home.

A Safe Place

Nassau County has implemented a co-sheltering program, which allows residents and their pets to be housed in the same facility with the County Animal Response Team (CART). Under the co-sheltering program, owners will be housed in a separate portion of the building at Nassau Community College, but provided easy access to their pets. Owners will be issued identification bracelets linking them to their pets.

Volunteers will operate the

shelter, but less oversight will be necessary since owners are allowed to feed, exercise and interact with pets. Most other disaster shelters cannot accept pets because of state health and safety regulations and other considerations. Service Animals who assist people with disabilities are generally the only animals allowed in those disaster shelters.

Town shelters and other animal shelters will generally have limited to no available room for owned animals during an emergency and should not be counted on to take your

animal. It may be difficult, if not impossible, to find shelter for your animals in the midst of a disaster, so plan ahead.

Shelters: Last Resort

Contact hotels and motels outside your immediate area to check policies on accepting pets and restrictions on number, size, and species. Ask if “no pet” policies could be waived in an emergency. Keep a list of “pet friendly” places, including phone numbers, with other disaster information and supplies. If you have advance notice, call for reservations.

Ask friends, relatives or others outside your immediate area whether they could shelter your animals in an emergency.

Prepare a list of boarding facilities and veterinarians outside the affected area who could shelter animals in an emergency; include 24-hour phone numbers.

Identification

Keep a collar and I.D. tag on your pets at all times (this includes cats that never go outdoors). During a disaster, a pet can escape. A collar and tag can increase your

Assemble A Portable Pet Disaster Supplies Kit Whether you are away from home for a day or a week, you’ll need essential supplies. Keep items in an accessible place and store them in sturdy containers that can be easily carried (e.g. duffel bags, covered trash containers, etc.).

Food, Water Bowls, Cat Litter/Pan And Can Opener Have at least a week’s supply of pet food and water on hand at all times for your pets. Store the dry food in airtight waterproof containers.

If you use canned food, buy the flip top cans or have a can opener in your airtight disaster supply container. Keep

some of your pet’s favorite treats on hand. Pets become stressed during a disaster too, and a treat provides them some comfort. Also keep a supply of cat litter for the cats in your household and keep a clean litter scoop in your disaster kit.

chance of getting the animal back. On the tag, include your phone number and address.

Remember the phones may not be working, so in order to reunite you with your pet, an address is necessary.

As Disaster Nears

Sometimes warnings are issued hours, even days, in advance. At the first hint of disaster, act to protect your pet. Call ahead to confirm emergency shelter arrangements for you and your pets.

Check that your pet disaster supplies are ready to take at a moment’s notice. Bring all pets into the house so that you won’t have to search for them if you have to leave in a hurry. Close as many doors as possible to limit search areas.

Make sure all dogs and cats are wearing collars.

Planning and preparation will enable you to evacuate with your pets quickly and safely. But bear in mind that animals react differently under stress. Outside your home and in the car, keep dogs securely leashed.

Transport cats, rabbits in carriers, birds and other small animals in cages.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR SUPPORTING BEN & JERRY’S BOYCOTT I’m not a big fan of boycotts in general—I’m 75 percent Irish (Dad was off the boat) and tried to give up tea in protest to the brutal treatment of the Irish by the British (basically Margaret Thatcher.)

It didn’t do any good. A real change never happened until she left office. By that time, of course, I had gone back to drinking good English tea.

But, I don’t think the Jewish people have a cause here. I pay a lot of attention (being 25 percent Lebanese—the Catholic kind like Danny Thomas), so I’m not directly involved with the people you want to deprive of ice cream.

They are the victims of the Jews and there’s a very long

history of it. When there’s a right wing government all hell breaks loose, with the Arabs being the primary victims.

But when there’s a left wing government in Israel things go smoothly. This is all documented in history; you should check it out.

The Arabs helped us win WWI and in return, they were given the land now in dispute.

Unfortunately, after they were given the land, Lord Balfour—whoever he is—in The Balfour Declaration, gave it again, but he gave it to the Jewish people. God knows after what they went through, they needed a country. But it didn’t need to be someone else’s country. They flooded

into the disputed territory, as terrorists. The peace-loving Arabs were put out of their homes and off the property they were farming since the end of the last war. They were put out of the gardens that they were working successfully for a living. Since then, they have been basically corralled.

Israel bombards them with rockets on a regular basis— when, like now there’s a right wing regime in power. During times the left is in power there is no fighting regime.

Recap: The Arabs are the victims and the Jews the aggressors during periods when the right wing is in charge.

In other years, there’s no real problem. There may be an

increase in the problem in the future due to just how bad the Arabs are being treated. I still can’t believe that you don’t want them to have ice cream.

I think that if you can’t figure out what is really going on, you should mind your own business. This is all documented information - you can verify everything I am saying.

And why wouldn’t you give credit to anything the Jewish founders of Ben and Jerry’s say? Do you think that they don’t know what they are doing? Do you think that they don’t know what is going on there? They are Jewish, and thankfully liberal instead of hard*** right wing Jews.

The Battle Of Long Island The battle was ferocious, the largest fought during The Revolutionary War recording the highest casualties of the war. Brilliant and botched military tactics molded the battle. The real story is about the Continental Army. Untrained regiments, including colonial militiamen, volunteer troops loyal to individual states, farmers and adventure seekers battling the powerful British Army and Navy. On August 27, 1776, The Battle of Long Island, also known as The Battle of Brooklyn, took place.

The first engagement of the war started with the “shot heard around the world” sounding in April 1775 with the battles of Lexington and Concord. A year later, March 1776, the Continental Army and New England militia forced the British from Boston. General George Washington, guessing the British would attempt an assault on New York City to gain control of the Hudson River, moved the army to Manhattan. The British fleet arrived in late June 1776.

By the middle of August, 22,000 British troops were stationed on Staten Island with 10,000 sent to land on the shores of Gravesend Bay. The next day, 5,000 Hessian mercenaries rowed across the East River into Flatbush.

Washington made a tactical error, assuming British troops amassed on Long Island were a diversion to the actual capture of Manhattan. Washington did not recombine his forces to meet the threat. Instead, he lined New York’s harbor with various levels of entrenchment. The small contingency of troops, led by Israel Putnam on Long Island, were spread across the central hills of Brooklyn where the Battle of Brooklyn would take place.

The Heights of Guan was a series of hills extending from Flatbush heading north to Brooklyn Heights. They varied in height from 100 to 150 feet. The canopy of deep forest below offered cover against British troops movements up the passes leading to the top of the ridge. These included the Gowanus Battle and Jamaica Passes. The battle would begin with 20,000 British troops aligned near Gowanus Bay pitted

The Delaware Regiment in the Domenick D’Andrea painting “The Battle of Long Island, 1776” (Public domain) racking up their highest casualties to the British as they attempted to conquer Battle Hill. It was a shortlived victory, because the Americans mistakenly thought there were only two passes leading to the top of the ridge. During the late-night hours, British troops moved up the unguarded Jamaica Pass. This is where the battle came to a decisive end.

trapped by the East River at their back, they were joined by the 1st Maryland Regiment, known as the Maryland 400.

The actual number of this well- trained regiment was 256. They held off the British long enough for some troops to retreat to Brooklyn Heights. Many soldiers, including Lord Stirling and John Sullivan were captured. Now, General Howe was about to make his tactical error.

Howe didn’t follow advice of his subordinates to attack Washington’s troops in Brooklyn Heights. Instead, he positioned his troops for an attack the next morning. During that night, Washington moved troops across the East River to the shores of Manhattan, saving thousands of lives. What overshadows his brilliant maneuver is the final brutal tally as Americans suffered 1,000 casualties and 1,000 captured, while the British only lost 400 men.

NEIGHBORS IN THE NEWS Five Levittown UFSD students, all of whom are also attending Nassau BOCES GC Tech, earned top honors at the New York State SkillsUSA Conference this year. The competition is part of a series of events that SkillsUSA sponsors as part of its mission to provide the country with a competitive, skilled workforce.

Three Division Avenue High School students took second place in the Health Knowledge Bowl; Amanda Melendez, Dillon Weinman and Bridget White, all of whom are studying Medical Assisting at GC Tech. Two MacArthur High School students also earned second place status: Medical Assisting student Michael Sing took second in the Health Knowledge Bowl; while Jennifer Theim, who is studying to become an Emergency Medical Technician, earned second in First Aid-CPR. The five students participated virtually in a series of timed events related to their courses of study at GC Tech, as well as in competitions in leadership and professional development. Students who are successful at the state level of competition advance to the National Leadership and Skills Conference,

which was held virtually all during the month of June.

SkillsUSA is a partnership of students, teachers and industry leaders working together to prepare high school and college students to become leaders in the business world.

The witness repeatedly told the defendant to leave as he pulled the defendant away from the victim. At that time, the defendant grabbed the victim’s cell phone, threw it and broke it; then grabbed a kitchen steak knife and verbally threatened the victim. The victim was able to call police with a second phone, causing the defendant to flee the scene in her Honda with New Jersey registration plates. Officers canvassed the area, located the defendant driving her vehicle and attempted to conduct a Vehicle

The defendant at that time did intentionally strike the driver door of a radio motor patrol vehicle, placed the car into reverse and then intentionally struck the front end of another radio motor patrol vehicle in an attempt to flee. The vehicle came to a stop and the defendant refused officers’ verbal commands to exit the vehicle. Officers were able to get the car door unlocked, remove the defendant, placed her into custody and transported her to Nassau University Medical Center for evaluation.

The victim refused medical treatment at the scene. Officers were not injured.

Alexandre is charged with first-degree burglary, second-degree menacing, fourth-degree criminal mischief, third-degree assault,

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Creating special experiences for people is one of your many fortes activated to excellent effect, heaping money and more on you. You’ll gain strength in areas of importance to you, not the usual improvements. Rather, these are prizes of significance and specificity that bolster something deeply personal. A thriving relationship will be a jewel of your year.

Grand gestures will punctuate a love story -- events not to be mistaken for the story itself -- which will play out in small, daily graces.

© 2021 Australian Word Games Dist. by Creators Syndicate Inc.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). What we assume to be is not always what is.

Jumping to conclusions can have messy results. Witnessing the wrongheadedness of others will inspire you to keep yourself in check. Set up an accountability system. Elicit the feedback of good people. Even if you choose not to follow it, you’re better for the interaction.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Outside appearances suggest you’re having a good time -- and you are -- but more importantly, you’re networking. Building relationships is a perfectly productive use of time. The more people you know, the more access you have to information and resources that will soon be useful to you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Accurate character assessment is one of your many talents. You trust the trustworthy and steer clear of anyone who gives your gut an uneasy feeling. Your instinct for finding good people will be activated, though peer pressure could endanger it. Don’t let the opinions of friends throw you.

Make decisions independently.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Politicians aren’t the only ones with platforms. You have a platform, too, and you’ll use it this week. Your influence doesn’t always come in words. Sometimes, your silence says more. People around you depend on your presence and welcome your contribution, even when it represents a different side from their own.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Be tender with your creative soul. Don’t let the perfectionist win; there is no prize! Being hard on yourself yields nothing good.

Your expectation of others ends at common decency and good manners. Why would you expect so much more from yourself? Hyperproduction will only lead to burnout later.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The ticket for entry into the future will be bought with what you’re willing to give up about the past. This can be accomplished in a loving manner. Moving on is a fact of life, and there doesn’t have to be a compelling reason to roll forward. The old season is not particularly wrong or bad; it’s just over.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Daily interactions count profoundly. Even the most mundane activity has rich potential for expressing your soul’s purpose. You’re the sort of deep person who doesn’t need extra stimulus to feel the magic of existence. You’ll radiate this vibe and lift the atmosphere around you simply by showing up.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The cosmic gifts of the week are a greater awareness of your feelings and a sensitivity to the subtle pressures and -- even more understated -- pleasures of circumstance. The one who can provide you with stress relief will win your attention. You’ll go out of your way to flow greater ease and peace through your world.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When it comes to knowing your limits, you are the expert. Listen to what your physical sensations, feelings and inklings tell you. And if you still think your worth is tied to how productive or useful you are to others, look at who is contributing to this erroneous line of thought -- someone with a selfish agenda.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Joy is as good a purpose as any. People will bond over good, clean fun. Happy vibes lift and illuminate all who get swept into the swirl. Still, it takes effort to get a party started. Go about it like it’s your job.

People will feel the driving force of your intention and respond in kind.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The terms of most arrangements are spelled out in subtle social contracts, gestures, veiled promises, hopes and insecurities. You will leverage the intangible and act on the implied. Whether a close friend or casual acquaintance, those lucky enough to be in a relationship with you will enjoy the elegance of this.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). People in the same vicinity are much more likely to strike up friendships and become emotionally invested in one another. You may currently be an outsider to a scene that intrigues you, but this will all change if you’re bold enough to close the geographic gap. How can you give yourself the locational advantage?

Soccer For A Cause Scores For The Michael Magro Foundation

More than $28,000 raised for nonprofit children’s cancer organization Mastermind Unit (MMU) presented its annual Soccer for a Cause benefiting the Michael Magro Foundation (MMF) after a year off due to COVID-19. The tournament was held on Saturday Aug. 7, at Cpl. Kevin T. Kolm Memorial Park in Hicksville. The sun was shining as all the event’s dedicated volunteers started to arrive to check in the teams.

Excitement was high and the squads this year were very enthusiastic and happy to be back playing in this annual tournament. This year, the tournament featured eight teams and significant donations from far and wide.

MMU has partnered with MMF for the past 10 years in helping raise awareness and funds to help support families of children diagnosed with cancer. Brian Horvath a MMF board member, is also a founding member of MMU along with Michael Stamatinos, Dave Musinki, Andrew Visconti and Bryan Alcantara.

MMF also gives a special shout out to Platinum Sponsor A Vournournou Construction Management Group. A big thank you to Sysco Long Island, Geoff Cohen for DJ entertainment, photographer Ed Shin for capturing so many active shots, Hicksville Fire Department for always having an EMT on site and the referees who join in the tournament each year.

2021 Soccer for a Cause champions New Paltz This year’s championship team was New Paltz and the second place team was Mouna. Thank you to all the participating teams. Their efforts and the work of all involved raised more than $28,000 for the Michael Magro Foundation.

by Paul and Terrie Magro to honor the life of their son Michael, who passed away from leukemia at the age of 13. The foundation works with the Cancer Center for Kids at NYU Langone Health Long Island, Stony Brook Children’s Cancer Division, Cohen Children’s Hospital and other pediatric specialties where treatment of chronic diseases is ongoing, as well as with the Golisano Children’s Hospital in Southwest Florida.
