Art Contest For East Hills Anniversary BY JOE SCOTCHIE
JscotcHie@antonmediagroup.com
The Village of East Hills is the most populous village in the Roslyn area. With the addition of the spectacular The Park At East Hills, the village’s stature, in recent years, has only grown. An 85th anniversary celebration may not be as dramatic as the coming—only 15 years from now— centennial, but it is a cause for celebration. So, on Saturday, Sept. 3, village officials will hold what they promise to be a “spectacular celebration” of the anniversary at, fittingly enough, that same park. As part of the festivities, residents of the village are
invited to submit their artwork for display. All artists must bring a stand or other method of display. Other specifications, village officials added, include the exhibit being limited to painting, photography, graphics, drawing, pottery and sculpture. Crafts are not included.
Artists must be current residents of East Hills. All ages are welcome to submit, as the display is divided between adult (18 and above) and youth exhibits. “Thanks to Natalie Mansbach, chair, and the enthusiastic, effective members of the 85th Anniversary Committee, we are planning a host of exciting
events, of which the art show will be an important part of the program,” said Mayor Michael R. Koblenz. “In retrospect, many dedicated members of our village, both past and present, have worked hard to make East Hills the wonderful community it is today. We are proud of the success we enjoy, the reputation we built and the extraordinary heritage we have created together.” To register, email ehartshow@ gmail.com. The subject line should be EH Anniversary. Upon receipt of the email, an invitational application will be sent via email with all pertinent information for artist registration.

More Honors For Stephanie Sorkin BY JOE SCOTCHIE
Stephanie Sorkin

Roslyn author Stephanie Sorkin’s latest success is her children’s book, Frenemy Jane, The Sometimes Friend. The picture book, which addresses the problem of bullying, has been named as a Foreword Reviews’ 2015 INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards winner, taking a bronze medal. “I’m honored to have my book named an INDIEFAB award winner,” Sorkin told The Roslyn News. “It’s a huge accomplishment to be among the finest talent in the indie book market. Knowing that my book will now reach a larger audience is very exciting. With a portion of my proceeds going to a bully prevention
campaign (www.pacer.org/bullying) it’s that much more rewarding, as the increased exposure will surely lead to more money raised for The Pacer Center.

“Frenemy Jane, The Sometimes Friend is a picture book, for ages 3 to 8, designed to help children navigate difficult social situations such as bullying,” Sorkin added, describing the book. “I’m not the first author to tackle this subject and I surely won’t be the last. What sets my book apart from other kid-lit bullying books is that rather than have a stereotypical ‘mean kid’ that we typically see on TV or in literature as a main character, I have an adorable little girl with pigtails and a pink dress that doesn’t look the part. “Furthermore, this character is sometimes nice, but not always,” Sorkin continued. “This is a very hard concept for children to grasp, as it’s a gray area when someone that you consider a friend isn’t treating
you properly. I coined the phrase ‘sometimes friend’ in hopes that children will now have a tool to describe such situations. During my school visits I use the classroom discussion
