Rock And Roll Boogie Man

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

A

lice Cooper’s major heyday may have been back in the 1970s, when tours behind albums like Billion Dollar Babies were breaking Rolling Stones concert attendance records, but the man born Vincent Damon Furnier is still creatively vibrant nearly four decades later. July will see the release of the Bob Ezrin-produced Paranormal, the duo’s first collaboration since 2011’s Welcome 2 My Nightmare.

Like its predecessor, the new project is a star-studded affair that features cameos by the likes of U2 drummer Larry Mullen Jr., ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons and Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover. For Cooper, the odd array of unlikely guests played into the notion he and Ezrin had about not wanting these songs to be united by a singular concept.

“Bob and I decided we were going to make an album that didn’t necessarily have a story line this time, but an album that got us off. Every song is a song that we would go, ‘Yes, that’s a great song.’ And they don’t necessarily conform to any style.

Alice Cooper is always going to do guitar rock. That’s always what I do.

But, the styles kind of go all over the place, which is great,” he explained.

“Using Larry Mullen Jr. from U2 on drums was a great idea. When we got to the studio, he asked to see the lyrics. I’ve never ever had a drummer ask me about the lyrics and he said he plays to the lyrics and I said that I loved that. It turned it into something totally different and totally not what I was expecting, yet it works all the way. You hear the whole album and it gives it a different punch to it.”

Most interesting was a reunion of the surviving members of the original Alice Cooper lineup

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Alice Cooper is currently on the road in support of his latest album Paranormal (guitarist Glen Buxton died in 1997).

By the time Cooper decided that he wanted to make what became 1975’s Welcome To My Nightmare, bandmates Buxton, Dennis Dunaway, Neal Smith and Michael Bruce decided the burnout from multiple platinum albums, relentless touring and being together nonstop all through high school and college added up to massive burnout. But

while the breakup was mutually agreed upon, Cooper pointed out that the friendship the former bandmates maintained over the years helped facilitate this mini-reunion. The end result was three of 20 songs the reunited bandmates worked on made the cut, which Cooper was elated about.

“We never broke up with any bad blood. Dennis, Neal, Mike, Glen and

3A

I were all the best of friends. There were no lawsuits. Nobody ever threatened anybody. I stayed in touch with everybody. That band never got back together. Glen passed away. He was our Keith Richards. That was a huge part of the personality of that band.

When that happened, that weakened the base even further. But, we always stayed together,” Cooper recalled.

“We worked together [on the new material] and there was never one minute where I asked who was going to play on it. We had Neal, Mike and Dennis to play on these songs and Bob absolutely agreed. They came in and nailed it. We’re very objective about it and these three songs were the ones that were good enough to make this album. I was really happy about it.”

With all this under his belt, the 69-year-old rocker continues to have playing live be one of his current joys.

Even more so once his current tour hooks up with fellow Rock & Roll Hall of Fame act Deep Purple later in the summer. It’s a bill he’s convinced won’t leave attendees unsatisfied.

“I kind of like the idea of two classic rock bands playing together. I think it’s really cool for the fans,” he said.

“Every single song that you hear on that stage is something that you heard on the radio. And that’s really a plus for the audience. We did that with Mötley Crüe and when we did that with them, it was really successful. We sold out every venue.”

Alice Cooper will be appearing with Deep Purple and the Edgar Winter Band on Aug. 26 at Northwell at Jones Beach Theater, 1000 Ocean Pkwy, Wantagh.

Mushrooms: The Magnificent Fungi

BY CHRISTY HINKO

varieties. There are five that are commonly used in recipes and found in most stores.

• White • Oyster • Portobello • Shiitake • Cremini We spoke with several Long Island Weekly readers last week about their top choices for ways to use mushrooms and their favorite dishes. The results were overwhelmingly simple: fried, stuffed, sautéed, grilled and of course, raw. Many vegans choose a grilled Portobello in place of their burger. Others love their mushrooms on pizza, in an omelet, in a soup or a sauce or chopped over a fresh salad.

Mushrooms are increasingly sustainable. New studies, according to the Mushroom Council, find that the annual average yield of mushrooms is 7.1 pounds per square foot— meaning up to 1 million pounds of mushrooms can be produced on just one acre.

Pull up a toadstool and load up on your daily serving of fresh fungi. Your body will thank you.

t’s not the idea of being harvested from flats of manure that has us going wild for mushrooms; it’s more because of its versatility and subtle, yet earthy flavor that makes mushrooms one of the top selling produce items in America.

According to the Mushroom Council, U.S. mushroom growers produced more than 946 million pounds of the fungi last year.

“Mushrooms are a delicious, nutritious, sustainable and extremely versatile food, making them a great addition to every meal of the day,” said Bart Minor, president of the Mushroom Council.

The nutritional benefits of mushrooms make them a fun, healthy choice. They are low in calories, fatfree and cholesterol free. Mushrooms are low sodium, but rich in umami, meaning they taste great even without adding salt. Mushrooms are packed with vitamin D, selenium, B vitamins and potassium.

There are more than 50 species of mushrooms and more than 100,000 THE ORIGINAL

CHARITY NEWS

The Homeless Bee Project In Kisii, Kenya

BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF EDITORIAL@ANTONmEDIAGROUp.COm

Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of LI and the Ethical Humanist Society of LI are raising funds for a beekeeping project in Kenya.

Environmental degradation has challenged a stone-carving community in Tabaka, Kenya, to find new sources of income.

The stone, which has supported a thriving economy for several generations, has been affected by climate change and suddenly the new carvings are fragile and worth far less than previously.

Elkana Omweri Ong’esa, the world-famous carver from the village, is behind a project aimed at the village’s women, elderly and unemployed youth called the Homeless Bee Project.

Honey is a prized commodity in Africa and Ong’esa’s project is geared to provide a livelihood for hundreds of people.

Arthur and Lyn Dobrin, of Westbury, have known Elkana since 1965, when they were Peace Corps Volunteers in the area and he was a high school student. Elkana is a community leader, championing various community development causes.

Says Linda Merola, RPCV-LI’s coordinator who served in the Philippines, “We are committed to helping raise the funds for the project to buy the necessary equipment.”

The Ethical Humanist Society is offering a matching grant of $10,000. To make a contribution, send a check made out to Kenya Bee Project to EHS of LI, 38 Old Country Road, Garden City, NY 11530.

Acclaimed Novelist To Visit Manhasset On June 20 EYE ON THE ISLAND

COLD FUR STORAGE TIME Adriana Trigiani Their Palazzini Cab Company & Western Union Telegraph Office is owned by Dominic Palazzini and his three sons and, while business is good, family discord is percolating below the surface. Things get more complicated when a telegram arrives from Italy.

Kiss Carlo “is a novel about the power of family secrets, the triumph of true love over grief, and the guts it takes to leave one life and take a risk to start over again for a piece of the American dream,” Harper Books reports.

While Trigiani’s appearance gets underway on Tuesday, June 20, at 7:30 p.m., seating for members of The Friends of the Manhasset Public Library begins at 7 p.m. General seating starts at 7:15 p.m. The Friends of the Manhasset Public Library is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to solicit and raise funds to provide the library with needed programs and materials that are not funded by taxes.

For further information and to obtain a reservation form for the June 20 event, contact friendsofmanhassetlibrary@gmail.com.

Adriana Trigiani’s Kiss Carlo (Harper Books) is being published on Tuesday, June 20, and later that same day Trigiani will be appearing at the Manhasset Public Library’s Community Room, 30 Onderdonk Ave., Manhasset.

Trigiani’s upcoming Nassau County appearance is being arranged by The Friends of the Manhasset Public Library and seating for the author’s 7:30 p.m. presentation is limited.

Tickets can be purchased in advance for $25 per person, and the fee includes a copy of Kiss Carlo.

Having grown up in Big Stone Gap, Virginia, Trigiani and her family now reside in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village and most of her previous 16 books have been New York Times bestsellers, starting with her debut novel, 2000’s Big Stone Gap. Trigiani directed and wrote the film adaption of Big Stone Gap, which was initially released in 2014 and starred Ashley Judd, Patrick Wilson and Jane Krakowski, among others.

Big Stone Gap is available at Netflix and billed as the tale of a pharmacist, Ave Maria Mulligan (Judd), who comes upon information that eventually transforms not only her life but the life of the Virginia town after which the motion picture is named. Indeed, a photo of Judd and Wilson from that film shoot is prominently displayed on the home page of the author’s website.

Harper Books reports that Kiss Carlo, while a work of fiction, was inspired by Trigiani’s grandmother’s scrapbook. Its storyline focuses on the twists and turns of multiple families living in South Philadelphia, a few years after the end of the Second World War. Trigiani’s father grew up in Roseto, Pennsylvania, so the author has insights into that state, too, having also made an award-winning documentary about that community and its history (Queens of The Big Time).

“Television has made its debut and manufacturing thrives as clothing factories spring up like weeds in the Northeast,” a Harper Books news release on Kiss Carlo states. “There are societal changes, too: women who worked during the war were now politely expected to go back into the kitchen, have the babies and become homemakers once more.”

This is the backdrop against which readers meet the Palazzini family.

Making Kindness Count

We’ve all heard the near-tragic story about a young man on his way home to take his own life only to be fatefully intersected by a stranger who shows him kindness. This stranger’s act of benevolence at the perfect moment in time restores the young man’s faith in humanity at the single most defining milestone in his life. Alternatively, in the hit television series 13 Reasons Why which is being watched by impressionable teens across the globe, there LIFE is no life-saving moment that EVOLUTIONS causes the main character Melody Pourmoradi to pivot and she does in fact tragically take her own life. This program has brought to light that it is in the subtle moments that we give power to the dark thoughts that bring us down. In this piece I am by no means suggesting that being kind to others can eradicate mental illness and other forms of emotional pain. What I am, however, suggesting is that in a world that is at times incubated by fear, that we do our part to spread love and light.

Everyone is fighting their own inner battle

1

Although life brings us so many joys and victories, it is undeniable that we each face our own individual struggles within our own minds that nobody knows about. Make every effort to find compassion for others—even when you can’t relate. Be kind.

Human connection is paramount

2

In a world where we are looking down at our phones more than we are looking up at the people around us, we need to revisit this idea of truly connecting with another human being and what that looks like for us. Be kind.

We are losing ourselves

3

Sometimes we get so caught up in making sure that everyone around us is OK and that other people’s perceptions of us are as we wish them to be, that we forgot ourselves in the mix. Practice self-kindness and know that your feelings and your thoughts matter. Be kind.

You make a difference

4 5

Our words, our energy and our light have the potential to impact another human being’s life in so many ways.

Don’t take that power lightly. Be kind.

It feels good to be kind

Robert Ingersoll’s famous quote states “We rise by lifting others”. Supporting others gives us a natural high.

Unfortunately we all get so caught up in the “busy-ness” of our own lives that it doesn’t cross our minds to do so. Take a moment and step outside of yourself and raise somebody up who needs your wings. Be kind.

6

Kindness is contagious

When people are in the presence of kindness, they can’t help but feel joyful. Expand your reach and watch all of those around you enliven in the presence of your warmth. Be kind.

Small actions can have far-reaching consequences

7

There is no doubt that the human race is connected in more ways than we can quantify. When you do good, you cause a ripple effect on our planet that reaches the masses. Be kind.

You can be a voice for someone who doesn’t have one

8

Acts of altruism speak volumes for those whose voices have been silenced.

Speak up for someone who needs it and you will give them the opportunity to learn how to speak on their own behalf. Be kind.

9

Somebody is watching you

Be a Hero!

Volunteer Today!

We are so much more influential than we realize. The next generation is observing and picking up our cues and learning how to treat others.

Set a good example by being an ambassador for thoughtfulness and mindfulness. Be kind.

We need to elevate the consciousness of the planet

10

The healing of the world begins with each of us. We have the ability to put out high vibe thoughts, high vibe words and high vibe energy. Let’s do our part. Be kind.

Kindness is in our nature

11

Human beings are intuitively geared to be good and do good. Fear is a learned emotion.

Reconnect to the part of you that is love and allow that to guide your everyday interactions. Be kind.

12

Spread love

We have the same power to spread good as those who wish to spread hate do. Find a way to share your unique light. A simple smile or a positive thought on social media goes a long way. Be kind.

13

Just because Do we really need a reason to be kind?

Just. Be. Kind.

A Clean Car Is Money In The Bank Purchasing a new car is a major financial investment.

Keeping it clean is an easy and inexpensive way to protect its resale and trade-in value, according to the nonprofit Car Care Council.

“Many motorists procrastinate when it comes to cleaning their vehicles,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “Whether you do it yourself or have it cleaned professionally, proactively keeping your car clean on the outside, and tidy on the inside, will pay big dividends when it comes to maintaining your vehicle’s value over time.”

The Car Care Council suggests five simple steps to keep a vehicle clean, helping protect it from the elements and preserve its value.

Recalls: What To Know

For many consumers, the word “recall” dredges up feelings of fear and anxiety. It may help if you try to think of a recall as an extension of the manufacturer’s continued commitment to the consumer’s safety—even years after the warranty period has expired. In most cases, a recall of your car does not mean that it is destined to breakdown, but rather that a problem in the manufacturing process has been identified in a number of similar models and therefore has the potential to surface in yours. Usually, the manufacturer has engineered a fix and the dealer can install the new part or parts at no cost to you. Some recalls are prompted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration while others are completely voluntary on the part of the manufacturer.

How do I find out about a recall?

If you purchased your vehicle when it was new, the manufacturer should have your name and address on file.

If your vehicle is the subject of a recall campaign, the manufacturer will contact you via mail or by phone. If you hear of a recall by way of the news media, but you have not heard from the manufacturer, you can contact either the manufacturer or your local dealership and provide them your VIN (vehicle identification number).

With this number, they will be able to tell you if your vehicle is part of

the recall. You can also contact the Auto Safety Hotline of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration at 888-327-4236, or visit www.nhtsa. gov. Here you will find recall data for all cars sold in the United States dating back to 1966.

What if I’m not the original owner?

If you purchased a used car, you may want to contact the manufacturer and let them know you are now the current owner. The manufacturer will place your car’s VIN, your name and home address into a database for all future correspondence. You can contact the manufacturer by phone, usually via the customer service department; there should be a toll-free number in your owner’s manual that you can reference.

If your car did not come with an owner’s manual, go to the manufacturer’s website and see if there is a customer service number listed or visit your local dealer and order a new manual.

Regardless of whether you are the original owner or not, you still qualify for any recalls, including those that have occurred before you bought the car. The statute of limitations for all no-charge recalls is

eight years from the original sale date of the vehicle. After that time, you may be required to pay if you wish to have the part or parts replaced or corrected. Unfortunately, if you paid to correct the problem before the recall was issued, the manufacturer is under no obligation to compensate you for the cost of that repair. Again, you will want to visit the NHTSA website and thoroughly read through all the sections.

You can also learn about TSBs (technical service bulletins)

for your car at www.alldata.com.

TSBs are sent to the dealerships to help mechanics in troubleshooting problems that may be annoying, but do not merit a national recall.

CAR CARE from page 15A Declutter

Start the cleaning process by removing excess clutter from inside the car as it can be distracting and hazardous, especially when debris finds its way near the gas and brake pedals. Don’t forget to clear out items that have accumulated in the trunk as they can add extra weight and reduce fuel efficiency.

Clean the Interior

The next step is to thoroughly clean the interior, wash the windows, and clean and install floor mats. Be sure to vacuum on a regular basis. A clean and orderly interior allows you to spot issues in the cabin so you can get them repaired before they get worse.

Wash the Exterior

Give your car a good wash from

top to bottom using products specifically made for automobiles.

Always clean the tires and wheels before washing the body, and don’t use the same washing mitt or cloth for both.

Wax Twice a Year

Waxing not only protects a vehicle’s finish, but it also makes subsequent washing easier. Before proceeding, make sure there are no foreign particles on the paint.

It is important to note that waxing should be done in the shade, not direct sunlight.

Fix Chips

If you find minor paint damage, cover the paint chips as quickly as possible to prevent further damage.

For a quick fix until you can get paint touch-up supplies, dab a little clear nail polish on the scratch.

The Car Care Council is the

source of information for the “Be Car Care Aware” consumer education campaign promoting the benefits of regular vehicle

care, maintenance and repair to consumers. Visit www.carcare.org to order a copy of the council’s Car Care Guide.

The Peace Corps: It Changed Our Lives

BY LYN DOBRIN

EDITORIAL@ANTONmEDIAGROUp.COm

Thank you, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Thank you for creating the Peace Corps and giving thousands of young Americans, me included, the opportunity to get out into the world.

As we approach the 100th anniversary of the birth of JFK on May 29th, many Long Islanders who are members of Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of LI and came of age in the 1960s are recalling the profound effect Kennedy had on our lives. We were attracted to the adventure and romance that the Peace Corps offered and Kennedy’s powerful challenge to “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country” excited our idealism by encouraging us to do good in the world.

Rona Nachemin, of Hicksville, avidly took up the call to action.

“I would have followed Kennedy to the moon,” she said. “He was so upbeat and inspiring.”

In 1966 she heard Sargent Shriver (Kennedy’s brother-in-law) speak at Queens College where she was a student and immediately applied. When she didn’t hear back, she drove to the Peace Corps office in Washington; one month later she was training to go to Ecuador where she spent two years working in youth development.

“I came back much more tolerant and worldly and appreciative of the little things in life,” Nachemin added.

Upon returning, Nachemin spent her career teaching middle school Spanish.

Bill Reed, of Westbury, was a sophomore at Chaminade High School when Kennedy ran for the presidency.

“When he came out with the Peace Corps, it fit in with my desire to serve our country and act on my religious belief of service to others,” he said.

In 1967 Reed was accepted into a project in Lesotho and, like many of us, had to consult a world map to locate where he was going (it’s in South Africa). He recalls that in training, the staff called all of them in and said they needed people to be Primary School Upgraders, who would travel in their districts, be away from their towns, sleep on school floors and eat what the villagers ate. Any volunteers? Reed did not raise his hand.

“The next day they called in all those who did not raise our hands and chose us to be Upgraders,” he said. “They said the others did not know what they were getting into. It worked out well!!”

Nancy and Jerry Federlein in Nigeria Bill Reed in Lesotho—he traveled Bette and Bob Bass arrive to their After graduation came five more weeks around on horseback assignment in Addis Ababa of training and in 1966 they arrive in Ethiopia where there was more training at a teachers’ college. Williams said that one of the high points of that time was when Haile Selassie visited the school.

They taught in Ethiopia for three years and returned to the U.S., eventually moving to Massapequa and raising a family. Bass died 16 years ago and Williams has continued to be involved in the community, volunteering at the Interfaith Nutrition Network and now working as an outdoor educator with Nassau BOCES. In 2012 Williams traveled to Ethiopia.

She was heartened to see that The Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of LI in this photo who gathered recently at the community library that she helped Kabul Kabob in Westbury served in the Peace Corps in Ethiopia, Kenya, Lesotho, build during her Peace Corps years is Niger, Philippines, Peru and Togo. still flourishing.

Writing

learning experience through community news

Local News In The Classroom

Regardless of how much technology may change the way the world communicates, writing is always the baseline in which we communicate whether it’s through an email, tweet, text or a letter that’s being composed on paper. Writing is also a crucial component that comes into play regardless of the subject you’re studying— English, science, math or history. Beyond the basic grammatical building blocks that involve punctuation, active versus passive voice and stringing together words into sentences which are then strung into paragraphs, writing also involves not only conveying your message across in a legible flow, but being adept at reading comprehension to understand what’s being asked of you in an assignment. The following are exercises students can do to become better writers while using different approaches to their craft.

• Listen to the teacher read the information describing a picture in the newspaper and then tell the who, what, when, where, why and how.

• Look through the newspaper and cut out words that describe you. Paste them on a silhouette of yourself. How are the words you chose like those of other students in the class? How are they different?

• Find as many synonyms for the word “said” as you can. Make a list of them. Do the same thing on the sports page looking for synonyms for “won” and “lost.”

“

We tend to use a shade pendant rather than an open lantern in a kitchen because it creates more inviting lighting. Used as a pair over a kitchen island, these classic circa pendants are perfection.

With its retro Edison bulb and brass finish, this uniquely designed square acrylic pendant, which is also available in polished nickel, will add glistening modern style to your kitchen.

“

This orb-shaped fixture casts direct light downward and glare-free diffused light outward in all directions, making it a functional kitchen task light that’s very decorative. A row of these would make a great modern art statement.

ATTENTION EDUCATORS!!

Brunch By The Sea In 1896, Punch magazine wrote that the term “brunch” was coined in Britain the year before, to describe a Sunday meal for “Saturday-night carousers”. The term has evolved to mean the wonderful meal we enjoy today between breakfast and lunch. It might be bacon and eggs, omelets and vegetables, or any number of lunchtime dishes reflecting where the meal is taking place.

Holiday Mathis Holiday Mathis Mathis HOROSCOPES ByByByHoliday ARIES (March 21-April 19). Sometimes you have to mess up and say the wrong thing before you can realize how you really think and confront any error there. A mistake is really a gift to help you gain awareness and align your thoughts more graciously and selflessly. When you’re better inside, you’re better outside.

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND On the Golf Course Solution: 27 Letters

© 2017 Australian Word Games Dist. by Creators Syndicate Inc.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). This week’s interior-design project won’t be about making over your bedroom or kitchen; it will be about improving your mental habits and tendencies, beautifying the emotional landscape inside you and adopting different structures and light sources in order to build a better general attitude.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re entering your luckiest time of the year.

To get what you want is pretty cool, but most people get what they want eventually. Now, to get what you want when you want it -- that’s a very big deal, something to be deeply appreciated, well-documented and celebrated to the hilt.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Can you be happy when your crew isn’t? It’s difficult for many, and it’s nearly impossible for someone as caring and attentive as you. And yet this is the big work of the week -- figuring out how to be more or less self-sufficient in your happiness. The joy you create inside yourself will be contagious.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Many people never seem to outgrow the roles their families cast them in from the start. You find this unsettling. Your identity is very much your own creation these days, and when you feel yourself slipping into old patterns that you once felt forced into, you’ll make the necessary adjustments to reclaim your independence.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Few people irritate you more than those who are self-righteous. These types are trouble for you this week. Avoid them! In general, righteousness promotes a sense of inequality and division. Anyway, you have better things to do than worry about those obsessed with the wrongdoings of others.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). All in all, you’re poised for maximum productivity, though you’re also sensitive to feeling overwhelmed. List all the steps; then cut it down to only the ones you can tackle this week. You’ll probably overestimate this, and it’s fine. You’ll hit an obstacle on Tuesday. Do something creative or even silly to get over it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Without the things around you that you own, care for and handle daily, would you still be yourself? Of course! But you’d be a different version. This is a week to experiment with your personal environment and change up material possessions, just to see how it affects the way you see and project yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Don’t worry so much about getting things right. No singular choice is reflective of your whole self; no singular move reveals the depths of your soul; you cannot be defined by a singular statement. Everything is trial and error, or trial and sort-of success, partial error, trial, more trial... The important thing is doing. Just do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). To speak only kind words about all of the people all of the time would be a stretch. And yet, for the most part, you’re able to achieve a constant feeling of respect and kindness toward your fellow humans this week. And when you can’t seem to get there, you’ll still try to look for the positive and very often find it, too.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s hard to make things easy: Usually only the top experts can do this. Many a novice will undervalue the work involved, because the masters make things look so effortless. It takes one who knows a lot to appreciate one who knows a lot. This week you’ll align yourself with greatness and learn all you can.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The world is full of uncomfortable situations, dangerous crossings, strict rules to follow and difficult learning curves.

A sense of unconditional belonging -- that’s how you know you’ve found your home, and it’s the best part of being there. Cherish your snug fit into a familiar niche. It will become even cozier this week.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS:

You go into this solar return with a goal to make other people’s lives better. On the other side of it, your life will be markedly improved by what you did for them. The next six weeks, follow the plan, stick with what’s working. July will require greater creativity and experimentation. You’ll think of your work and earnings differently, and you’ll get richer because of this. Simple Relationship Rule: Feed the ties that make you feel vital and avoid the ones that drain you.

FREE SUMMER

EVENTS Islanders Unite

BY KIMBERLY DIJKSTRA

KdiJKStra@antonmediagroup.com

S

eptember 11, 2001, is a day New Yorkers will never forget.

We know about the heartbreak and tragedy and we know the stories of people coming together in the aftermath, but there is a story of that day we don’t already know that warms hearts instead of breaking them. Tony-nominated Come From Away tells that story magnificently.

When the unthinkable happened in New York City, American flights around the world were grounded.

Thirty-eight airliners carrying 7,000 people were diverted to Gander International Airport on the island of Newfoundland in Canada, practically doubling the population of the small surrounding cities. On the grimmest day in anyone’s memory at the time, all anybody wanted to do was help. The townspeople opened their homes to the stranded passengers, welcoming them with open arms, and displaying a breathtaking level of kindness.

It sounds like an anecdote you might read in the newspaper or learn about from a segment of This American Life, but these events are best told from the stage, with music inextricable from the culture of Newfoundland. Celtic influenced song drives the narrative with an infectious rhythm, using instruments not common on Broadway—bodhrán hand drums, fiddles, accordions and the uniquely Newfoundlander “ugly stick.”

With a true ensemble cast, Come From Away captures the spirit of the islanders as well as the emotions of the refugees. Each cast member

plays several characters, seamlessly switching identities through simple costume changes and intricate choreography. With 12 actors on stage, plus the band, and no intermission, following along could become overwhelming, but it doesn’t due to the caliber of performers and the attention to detail paid by the creative team.

Some characters were based on real people, while others were composite sketches of folks creators Irene Sankoff and David Hein met during the 10th anniversary of 9/11 in Gander while conducting research for the show. As real-life airline pilot Beverley Bass, the first woman captain at American Airlines, Jenn Colella’s performance of “Me and the Sky” is a standout moment deserving of a standing ovation.

Among the many storylines is a thread of social commentary—a gay couple worried about how they’ll be received in an unknown small town, an Egyptian passenger who faces suspicion based only on his race and a young black man incredulous about how nice and trustworthy the locals are.

Come From Away does not dwell on the devastation of 9/11. It is always present, but there is levity. A lot of it, in fact, because this isn’t the story of September 11th; it’s the story of September 12th, and 13th, and the days after that, when the goodness and generosity of the Newfoundland people shone through a dark time.

The show is truly inspirational. You’ll walk out feeling like a Newfoundlander too.

The hit musical is at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, 236 West 45th St. For tickets, visit www.comefrom away.com or call 212-239-6200.

Maryland’s Turn On The Big Stage

W

ith the Kentucky Derby completed and an impressive new champion crowned, the Triple Crown now moves south to Baltimore, to the equally-legendary Preakness Stakes at the Pimlico Race Course.

Inaugurated in 1873, “The Run for the Black-Eyed Susans” has a colorful history of its own—and this year, there is a local angle to the drama.

Manhasset resident Anthony Bonomo, a native of Brooklyn, is the co-owner of Always Dreaming, the winner of the Kentucky Derby and the favorite in the Preakness.

There is another New York angle to the race. The Preakness is

synonymous with Maryland, but for several years in the late 19th-and early-20th century, the race was run in two locations in New York City. In 1890, the Morris Park Race Course in the Bronx hosted the race. From 1894 to 1908, the Preakness was run at the Gravesend Race Track in Coney Island. These race tracks have long disappeared, but the Preakness carries on.

As with the Kentucky Derby, the history of the Preakness has its own twists and turns. There have been times when the race was run before the Derby and in two instances, in 1917 and 1922, both the Derby and the Preakness were run on the same day. It wasn’t until 1932, that the Preakness settled in as race number two in the fabled Triple Crown cycle.

In the winner’s circle. The second leg of the Triple Crown.

There are other interesting tidbits to the race: • The Stakes were named by a former Maryland governor, Oden Bowie, in honor of a colt, Preakness, who won a race on the first day that Pimlico opened, Oct. 25, 1870.

• The jockey with the most wins is Eddie Arcaro (1941, 1948, 1950-51, 1955 and 1957) • The trainer with the most wins is R. Wyndham Walden (1875, 1878-82, 1888) • The owner with the most wins is Calumet Farm (1941, 1944, 1947, 1948, 1956, 1958, 1968, 2013) • The Kentucky Derby is famous for mint juleps. The Preakness has its own official cocktail, the BlackEyed Susan, a drink made with St. Germain liqueur and pineapple, lime and orange juice and vodka.

• The Derby is legendary for the singing of “My Old Kentucky

Home,” while the Belmont Stakes crowd serenades the thoroughbreds with Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York.” The Preakness gets fans in the mood with the Maryland state song, “Maryland, My Maryland.”

• The winner of each year’s race is draped in a garland of the state flower, the black-eyed Susan.

However, since that flower does not bloom until June or July, viking poms, a member of the chrysanthemum family, is the wreath that the proud champion wears.

One thing that the Preakness has in common with Churchill Downs and the Belmont Stakes is the legend of Secretariat happily hovering over it. In 1973, while on the way to the Triple Crown, Big Red mopped the floor in that year’s Preakness, winning the race in a record time of 1:53.00. And on May 20, Always Dreaming will make his own bid for racing immorality.
