Apples Away
T
BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF editorial@antonmediagroup.com
all made on-site from fresh-picked apples. Pies, donuts, breads and candy apples, as well as fresh honey from their own beekeeping, await guests. Come back to the Aquebogue location after Thanksgiving to pick out a Christmas tree.
he arrival of autumn brings a chill in the air, layered clothing and the gorgeous colors of a picturesque fall foliage. It also has everyone’s favorite autumnal tradition—apple picking. Whether you’re spending the day with friends or family, here are a couple of spots worth visiting. Lewin Farms Wickham’s Fruit Farm
28700 Main Rd., Cutchogue This 300-acre farm dating back to 1661 offers not only apple picking, but strawberries, raspberries, cherries, blueberries and peaches ready to pick when in season and take home. Pears, pumpkins, apricots and much more are also available for purchase, along with donuts and cider.
Harbes Family Farm and Orchard
5698 Sound Ave., Riverhead 1223 Route 25, Jamesport 715 Sound Ave., Mattituck With three different farms to visit, Harbes is a family-favorite for a reason. Their Riverhead location offers more than 10 different apple varieties for picking like Blondee, Snapdragon, Golden Delicious, Autumn Gala, Ruby Frost and Honeycrisp. In Jamesport you’ll get
lost in a corn maze, enjoy pumpkin picking and a fresh farm stand. For the Harbes vineyard and Barnyard Adventure, visit Mattituck, where more than 40 farm animals roam and games, play areas, a hedge maze, pig races and more await.
Woodside Orchard
729 Main Rd., Aquebogue 116 Manor Lane, Jamesport At Woodside Orchard, Cortland, Empire and Gala apples, among many other types, are ready for the picking. With semidwarf trees, kids will have no problem reaching for the perfect apple to take home. After you have scoured the orchards, try the farm’s variety of ciders and hard ciders,
812 Sound Ave., Calverton This East End farm offers apples, berries, peaches, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and pumpkins for picking. Offered in their farmstand is broccoli, zucchini, cucumbers, peaches, corn, squash and much more. After stocking up on produce, try your best at navigating their five-acre corn maze. The farm also operates Baiting Hollow Nursery on Fresh Pond Avenue in Calverton where, come winter, you can rent a saw and cut down your own Christmas tree.
Seven Ponds Orchard
65 Seven Ponds Rd., Watermill In addition to traditional apples, Seven Ponds Orchards
also offers tomatoes, raspberries, sunflowers and string beans for the picking. A longer season than most, Seven Ponds holds their apple picking season from late August to late November, giving families plenty of time to schedule a trip. After picking until your heart’s content, take a hay ride or traverse through the corn maze.
Hank’s Pumpkintown
240 Montauk Hwy., Water Mill Nearly 15 types of apples are ripe for picking at Hank’s Pumpkin Town. After you’ve filled up your basket, head over to the corn maze, pick a pumpkin, let the kids play on the playground and get their face painted, mine for gems and pick up some treats at the market.
Milk Pail Farm and Orchard
50 Horsemill Lane., Water Mill With more than 10 different varieties, Milk Pail Farm and Orchard has an apple suited for everyone’s taste buds at their U-pick farm.

Pumpkin Spice And Everything Nice BY ANTHONY MURRAY
I
amurray@antonmediagroup.com
When I was a waiter/bartender, I can attest that the most requested alcoholic beverage that customers ordered during the fall was pumpkin ale. It would sell out like hot cakes, which I’m sure if given the chance, would also be injected with pumpkin spice. Dating back to the late 1700s, pump-
kin ale may be produced using pumpkin flesh in conjunction with malt or other more typical beer grains. It may also be produced by adding natural or artificial flavor while the spice flavor may be added to evoke the flavor of pumpkin pie. Many styles of pumpkin ale are produced including pale ales, wheat beers, porters and stouts, and are produced by several breweries including Sea Dog Brewery, Shipyard Brewing Company, Saint Arnold Brewing Company and Blue Moon.
Pumpkin Lattes/ Coffee
It wouldn’t be the fall season if Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks didn’t have its pumpkin spice latte/ coffee line, which is usually launched in late August. A pumpkin spice latte is
a coffee drink made mixed with traditional fall spice flavors such as cinnamon and nutmeg, steamed milk, espresso, and topped with whipped cream. Starbucks’ pumpkin spice latte is actually a little healthier since the company now uses actual pumpkin instead of artificial coloring since 2015. You can get a pumpkin latte/coffee either hot or iced.
Pumpkin Butter
I can’t believe it’s not butter! Yes, even our butter is now pumpkin spice infused. Pumpkin butter is basically a pumpkin puree that has been combined with either maple syrup for unrefined sweetness or cinnamon for added flavor. That pumpkin puree is then simmered and reduced until it’s thick and creamy. You can find pumpkin butter
at your local North Shore Farms, Stop & Shop or Trader Joe’s. Just take some of that pumpkin butter and slather it on a pumpkin muffin, you’ll have yourself a true pumpkin feast.
Pumpkin Ravioli
You can now even stuff your raviolis with pumpkin as well. Pumpkin ravioli is traditionally served with a butter or cream sauce and can even be topped with pecans or even walnuts. Butternut squash can also be used as a nice topping for your pumpkin raviolis. In order to make the pumpkin ravioli filling, you’ll generally need 8 ounces of canned organic mashed pumpkin, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1/8 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and salt and pepper. Those ingredients are for a 12-person serving.

t is finally that time of year again when everything you know and love slowly becomes infused with the sweet taste of pumpkin spice. From your favorite alcoholic beverage to your much needed caffeinated pick-me-up and beyond, here is a round-up of all things pumpkin spice flavored that you can find this fall season.

Toast To Football Being Back With A Margarita BY CHRISTY HINKO
chinko@antonmediagroup.com
W
ith football officially back its time to start thinking about your Sunday plans. Whether it’s hosting a watch party or cracking a few before heading into the big game, it’s time to vamp up the cooler with something new. SipMARGS is your fresh, new and fun canned cocktail that will become a Sunday staple. “During the pandemic, I realized that there were no real quality options on the market,” said sipMARGS co-founder Joey Angelo. “If you wanted a low-calorie canned cocktail you were limited to hard seltzer and if you wanted something with more flavor, it was full of sugar and syrup. My partners and I decided to pull our experience and
backgrounds in the spirits industry and create a low-calorie, low-sugar and low-carb margarita in a can that was still delicious.” SipMARGS are real, authentic sparkling margaritas made with top-quality tequila that are ready to go before and well after kickoff. SipMargs is a bold, great-tasting margarita in the convenience of a can, not another zero carb, zero flavor hard seltzer. This tequila lover’s dream comes in four delicious flavors: classic, mezcal, coconut and mango. Classic With bright, vibrant citrus flavor, sipMARGS Classic sparkling
margarita is equally tart and sweet with a taste reminiscent of your favorite margarita cocktail. Coconut Cool and light with unmistakable coconut essence, sipMARGS Coconut margarita is mildly sweet and refreshing with big tropical flavor. Mango The sweet, fruity taste of luscious mangoes are front and center with sipMARGS Mango margarita. Bold, juicy and effervescent. Mezcal sipMARGS Mezcal margarita brings the taste of Mexico’s traditional agave spirit to a uniquely refreshing cocktail. A
hint of smokiness, herbal notes and a touch of sweetness create a distinctively delicious flavor. “When we launched, we originally were only in the New York and New Jersey markets,” said Angelo. “Within the first few months demand was so high that we expanded our distribution to be able to ship to 35 states from our online store and are now available in-stores in Florida.” This canned cocktail brings the best tasting margarita to any gathering with ease and for any New York Jets and Giants fans the party can even continue inside, with sipMARGS being currently available for purchase at MetLife Stadium. Check out www.longislandweekly.com/sipmargs for our review of the tasty beverage and for a list of local stores and distributors on Long Island that have sipMARGS in stock.

Fall Into Party Planning What you need to know to have a festive celebration BY CHRISTY HINKO
chinko@antonmediagroup.com
F
or two years now the COVID pandemic has put a halt to our weddings, showers, office parties, birthdays and so many more would-be memorable celebrations. Catering halls, restaurants and party venues across the country were closed entirely, losing billions in revenue while the nation reeled from uncertainty. We are social by nature. It has only been in the recent couple of months that we have felt safe and confident to return to normal gatherings and events that we once took for granted. We recently spoke with Daniel Akilov, co-owner of the famed Floral Terrace catering venue on Jericho Turnpike, the gateway to Nassau County, about how business is going and what the general temperature is of people gathering again to celebrate joyous occasions. We were thrilled to hear business is ramping up again. The downtime has also given pause for catering venues and party organizers to rethink their business model and to expand, incorporating surprisingly refreshing ways to utilize party venues. Here’s what Akilov had to say:
Q
What do party planners need to know in the new face of COVID? Anything new that planners have never had to worry about in the past? How does COVID change their upcoming holiday parties? “The times are drastically changing” a new system of party planning and events should be implemented, including: following any and all necessary guidelines to
A
ensure the health safety of guests, employees and vendors, ensuring that guests have the proper safety measures to ensure an events full success. For upcoming parties, we will follow the guidelines set by the town. For now no new guidelines were set in the village of Floral Park, but we must adhere to personal safety. Anyone who has a booked party can enjoy a worry-free environment at this time.
Q
How busy do you expect the upcoming quarter to be, through January? Why? We are overall getting a lot of date requests during January with some dates still available. Due to COVID, last year all parties were moved to this year...not to mention the new parties that are taking place this year is bringing a lot of dates to a close. We have rescheduled plenty of parties from last year which lock dates in at a faster pace.
A
Q
What are the traditional parties that Floral Terrace hosts? What kinds of parties do you want people to consider for Floral Terrace that they might not have considered? Floral Terrace has traditionally hosted weddings, proms, birthday

parties, milestones and engagements. Floral Terrace would also like to host retirements, club meetings, organizational functions, school fundraisers, PTA and business events, holiday parties, military functions and award ceremonies for first responders.
Q
How has the Floral Park community responded to Floral Terrace in general? What is the overall relationship between your business and the community? Floral Park is a town that is the epitome of togetherness, friendliness, safety and a united front. Since the 1920s Floral Terrace’s beauty, art and events such as shows, events, galas, military balls and social events, have inspired the neighborhood to have a rather positive outlook towards the community. It gave a sense of freedom to have at least a few hours of a good time. Without the worry of tomorrow or yesterday. It brings the “living in the now” thought which captivated the community Long Island and New York for almost 100 years. We have been awarded almost every year with the best feedback when the owner George Boultadakis purchased the hall. As far as our goals, we are committed to continuing what George created with the help of Floral Park and want to reach the community in the same way as it was before the pandemic. To let the community know in the midst of “this hectic world” can be a pleasant day that makes the smile of our client worthwhile. We take pride in having events that bring gladness

to people’s hearts and I believe the community of Floral Park and abroad truly appreciate this work of art called Floral Terrace.
Q
Why is Floral Terrace an important part of Floral Park, its history and how it defines the community going forward? Floral Terrace is one of the only event buildings in the community, as it has been since the beginning. This history is a part of all who are from Floral Park and abroad. Anyone that is a part of the community for a long time knows of, or had an event, or heard of Floral Terrace with nothing but good moments. It’s like knowing that if you heard of Floral Park then you heard of
A
Floral Terrace. If you live in the neighborhood, you’ve probably been to a show or been to an event here. And if you hosted an event at Floral Terrace then you have nothing but good memories. We will continue to strive for an amazing time for our guests. We are always looking to help the community by establishing town events for our first responders, medical personnel, police officers, town officials and other municipalities. We hope to have everyone from the town experience an event at our venue at least once to know the true beauty set 100 years ago. Floral Terrace is located at 250 Jericho Tpke. in Floral Park.

he New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) I FISH NY Program and Freshwater Fisheries Unit and the State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (State Parks) recently announced the annual Fall Family Fishing and Children’s Festival at Hempstead Lake State Park will be held Saturday, Oct. 16, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. “The Fall Family Fishing and Children’s Festival is one of our most popular events because it’s a great way to enjoy the autumn weather and learn about the fun of freshwater fishing,” DEC Acting Regional Director Merlange Genece said. “The festival combines fishing with a variety of children’s activities, and provides a rewarding family experience.” “Hempstead Lake State Park is proud to host the annual Fall Family Fishing Festival,” said State Parks Long Island Regional Director George Gorman. “With an abundance of activities to explore throughout the day, the festival provides a great introduction for both children and families to learn and experience all that fishing has to offer.” Festival activities include fishing with free loaner rods and bait, fishing instruction, casting instruction, and fish-cleaning services. In addition to fishing opportunities, there will be a children’s casting for pumpkins contest, live animal show, magician, pumpkin decorating, fish printing, and children’s slide, in addition to DEC and State Parks displays. The fishing license requirement for all anglers over the age of 16 is suspended for this festival, and admission and parking are free. The children’s casting for pumpkins contest will be held for as long as pumpkins last, during which kids can “catch” a pumpkin and “hook” a prize. Casting contest prizes are provided by I FISH NY and State Parks. Prior to the festival, State Parks will stock South and McDonald ponds in Hempstead Lake State Park with brook and rainbow trout. DEC also stocks brown trout in several other waterbodies in Nassau and Suffolk counties, including
Upper Twin Pond, Oyster Bay Mill Pond, Massapequa Reservoir, and 12 additional Suffolk County lakes. These stockings will occur by Oct. 30, and provide excellent prospects for fall fishing. A second DEC stocking will occur in early November. For more information about the
festival, call DEC’s I FISH NY Program at 631-444-0283 or Hempstead Lake State Park 516-766-1029 for event status. There is no rain date for this event. For more information about the fall trout stocking program in Nassau and Suffolk counties, call the DEC Bureau
of Fisheries at 631444-0280. General information on freshwater fishing on Long Island can be found at DEC’s Long Island/NYC Fishing webpage and more info at DEC’s Fishing webpage. —DEC

BOOK FEATURE
Diving Into The Mystery New book dives into Long Island’s possible haunts
Q A
Can you tell readers a little bit about yourself? I’m an author, photographer, historian, food writer and ghost investigator. My degree is in photography and I specialized in photojournalism. I interned with Newsday and then went on to work for local newspapers as a photographer. I was interested in the history of Huntington, where I have lived for the past 30 years, and I got involved with the Huntington Historical Society where I was First Vice President. I started my own column in the newspaper about preserving Huntington’s history. It became quite popular and it led me to write two books on the town’s history in 1995 and 1997. Since then I have written a total of nine books.

T
he island’s history extends beyond just the physical reality surrounding us and into the great unknown of the spiritual realm. In award-winning author and historian Kerriann Flanagan Brosky’s newest book Haunted Long Island Mysteries, you will learn about the haunted stories that involve Jericho’s Milleridge Inn, Earle-Wightman House in Oyster Bay, the Locust Valley Library, Sands-Willets House in Port Washington, and more. Haunted Long Island Mysteries What inspired you to write is now available wherever books Haunted Long Island Mysteries? are sold.
Q
A
Out of the nine books I’ve written, Haunted Long Island Mysteries is the fourth ghost/history book. After I had written the two books on Huntington I was lecturing frequently on preserving Huntington’s history. Although those two books were not about ghosts, per se, there were maybe four or five stories that did have some ghost stories in them. When you are researching older homes and historic places, this is not uncommon. The Huntington Historical Society asked me if I would do a lecture in the Conklin Barn around Halloween and talk about the ghost stories from the books. It was standing room only. I could not believe how many people were interested in the topic. My lecture became an annual event. People constantly came up to me asking me to write a book just about ghosts. I had put it on the back burner for a while because I wanted to be taken seriously
as an author and as an historian. Eventually I decided to do it, and combine it with teaching local history. What better way to teach local history than through a ghost story? So in 2006 I wrote Ghosts of Long Island, Stories of the Paranormal. It was so successful that I wrote a sequel. A few years after that I wrote a third ghost book, Historic Haunts of Long Island. There were still so many more stories and history out there, that my publisher agreed to me writing Haunted Long Island Mysteries.
Q
You worked with Joe Giaquinto, who is a medium and paranormal investigator. What was your working relationship with him when writing this book? I have been working with Joe Giaquinto since 2005. I met him at one of the lectures I was giving at the historical society, and I asked him if he would want to work on a ghost

mediumistic evaluations. He’s taught me quite a bit over the years, and I myself have gotten quite a bit of phenomena while on our investigations as well.
Q
There are many haunted places on Long Island mentioned in your book. Was there one haunted place that you researched that shocked you? Throughout the years while writing all the books, Joe and I have investigated more than 100 haunted places on Long Island. We stay on the positive side of spiritual communication, and we stay away from anything negative or demonic. What we do is not what you see on TV and in the movies. I’ve heard and experienced a lot of things, but in this book in particular, I would have to say that the one thing that shocked me that never happened before, was when a ghost started taking photographs with my camera while I was holding it. This happened in a very haunted room at the Long Island Maritime Museum in Sayville. There was absolutely no reason why the camera would

Q A
Do you believe in ghosts or spirits? Or were you a skeptic? I’ve always believed in ghosts and spirits, life after death and being able to communicate with the other side. I have spent more than 30 years studying all of these things, so, through writing the books and doing the investigations, it has confirmed what I have already believed to be true.
Q A
What do you want readers to learn from your book? I want them to understand how important it is to preserve our history on Long Island, and secondly, I want them to have a better understanding of who and what ghosts and spirits are, that life does continue after death, and that communication with our loved ones is possible.
Q A
Are you currently working on any books? At this time I am not working on another book project since Haunted Long Island Mysteries just came out. I will be on book tour through the month of October and through the middle of November. I have a total of 23 events coming up, 16 in-person events and the rest are virtual. Many of the lectures will include Joe Giaquinto who will be playing EVPs for the audience. The book is also interactive. People can go to my website and listen to the actual EVP ghost box recordings from our investigations, while following along with the transcripts that appear in many of the chapters. Through my website www.kerriannflanaganbrosky.com people can also see where I will be speaking and doing events, and they can also purchase personalized and signed books directly through me. They may also be interested in some of my other non-ghost books, which include Historic Crimes of Long Island and my novel The Medal, which is based on a true story having to do with a miracle and Padre Pio, the saint who bore the stigmata.

Airpower Museum C-47 D-Day Flight Experience Returns October 9
Living Historians and participants line up and board AAM’s WWII Douglas C-47 Skytrain “Second Chance.”
T
he American Airpower Museum (AAM) held two successful C-47 D-Day Living History Flight Experiences on June 12 and July 31. Due to the program’s popularity and to meet overwhelming demand for more flights, AAM has scheduled another series for Saturday, Oct. 9, (rain date Oct. 10).
Guests fly on an original WWII Douglas C-47 Skytrain Troop Transporter “Second Chance,” and they are joined by AAM’s living historians who deliver a breathtakingly realistic and unforgettable recreation of what U.S. paratroopers experienced in the Invasion of Normandy. “Second Chance,” an original WWII C-47, was transferred to the Royal Air Force (RAF) from the USAAF in 1945 and flew in the Berlin Airlift (1948-1949) with the RAF, serving until 1950. The aircraft was next transferred to the Belgian Air Force and served for two years. In 1952 she went to the French Air Force, serving two years in Viet Nam in the late 1950s, as well as in India, Algeria, Morocco and the Congo. In 1967 she was sold to Israel and flew with the Israeli Defense Force for 32 years. She was offered for sale in 1999. The aircraft was renovated by Aero Services and sold to the American Airpower Museum in 2001. “Second Chance” regularly 14A | AUTUMN! • OCTOBER 6 - 12, 2021
conducts AAM’s C-47 D-Day Living History Flights. She also performs at regional air shows in classic WWII D-Day markings with the original “D8” code. One of the last C-47s still in stock military configuration, the aircraft has more than 17,000 hours in the air, one of the world’s lowest flight times. AAM’s Living History Flight Experience is a one-of-a-kind immersive educational program, where living historians join you in an original WWII C-47 to give a sense of what 101st and 82nd Airborne Division paratroopers felt on their incredible 1,200-plane D-Day assault. Living historians are led by Robert Scarabino, Long Island’s noted WWII living historian, who has organized AAM’s C-47 D-Day Living History Flight Experiences since the program’s inception in 2003. This is a family-friendly program for all ages. Each program segment is about one hour long and each flight takes 25 minutes. A flight experience entitles you to bring
an additional person who can visit AAM’s exhibits free of charge. This is a wonderful way to educate young Americans about WWII and the Greatest Generation. Participants should arrive at AAM’s Hangar 3 at least 30 minutes before flight’s posted arrival time. What To Expect You enter the “Ready Room” and suit up in authentic military field jackets, helmets and battle gear. After a “Mission Briefing,” you join AAM’s 101st Airborne living historians, board the C-47 and experience actual sights, smells and sounds as twin engines fire up and you’re off into the blue. You hear and see the crew operate their C-47 as paratroopers ready for battle. Finally, everyone attaches their parachute hooks to the overhead static line for a simulated jump. The C-47 then returns to Republic, touches down and taxis back to Hangar 3 and you disembark. Flight Schedule Flight 1: Arrival Time-9 a.m.; Departure Time-10 a.m. Flight 2: Arrival Time-10:30 a.m.; Departure Time-11:30 a.m. Flight 3: Arrival Time-12 p.m.; Departure Time-1 p.m. Flight 4: Arrival Time-1:30 p.m.; Departure Time-2:30 p.m. The American Airpower Museum

This ranking was developed by SHOOK Research and is based on in-person and telephone due diligence meetings to evaluate each advisor qualitatively, a major component of a ranking algorithm that includes client retention, industry experience, review of compliance records, and firm nominations; as well as a quantitative review that includes assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports. Rankings are based on the opinions of SHOOK Research, LLC and not indicative of future performance or representative of any one client’s experience. Neither Forbes nor SHOOK Research receive compensation in exchange for placement on the ranking. For more information: www.SHOOKresearch.com. The Ameriprise Client Experience Award is earned by a practice based on three measurable statistics that reflect the value of goalbased advice to our clients: client experience rating; percentage of clients over a certain asset level in advice relationships; and, once the practice has exceeded a minimum amount of net flows, the percentage of net flows derived from assets under management. © 2021 Ameriprise Financial, Inc.
