“I paint many en plein air pictures in oil during the summer; the beach is a frequent theme,” said Peelle. “I typically do three to four small pieces on such an occasion. Eventually, and at times, children will come to look and if they express approval, I know I have done a decent job.”

The cover of Summertime!, titled “Beach Frolic,” was done at Jones Beach on July 19, 2015. It is an 8x10inch oil on board.

Peelle’s prolific works in diverse theme include portraits, the figure,

CRAFTING

Cricut 101

The machine that changed the DIY craft game

BY JENNIFER FAUCI

jfauci@antonmediagroup.com

For decades, Martha Stewart was and still is the gold standard for all things baking, crafting and home décor. So much so that she teamed up with Cricut for the Martha Stewart special edition of the Cricut Explore Air 2, a cutting machine that makes imaginative design ideas come to life.

Karley Hall is the Cricut education program manager and it is her job to teach people how to use and get the most out of the machine using the free Cricut Design Space web program. And while it may seem daunting (I myself studied and meditated a bit before opening the box), Hall holds true to her belief that with the Cricut, anyone can craft.

Q A

It is now a household name.

Tell me about the Cricut.

Simply put, it’s a cutting machine.

It may seem overwhelming, but it’s a powerful DIY tool that allows you to import designs using the Cricut Design Space program and electronically cut those designs. Anyone can be a crafter.

Q A

Some people consider the Cricut a 3D printer of sorts.

Can you explain how it works?

The web-based application Cricut Design Space communicates with the machine for any font or style or shape you tell it to design. Simply upload the design onto the program and cut out whatever you want to. Some people refer to it as a printer but there is no ink. Instead, there are super tiny, very fine-point blades that cut the material. You can use different pens and scoring tools to cut and embellish your products for a variety of looks.

Q

How has the Cricut revolutionized the DIY and crafting game?

8A | SUMMERTIME! • JUNE 5 - 11, 2019

A

It really allows someone with a simple idea to execute their vision.

The Cricut turns everyone into a crafty person and there are so many different versions of the machine at affordable price points. The Design Space program is intuitive and you can be up and cutting in five minutes.

Q

Back in the day, scrapbooking was popular, but now, the Cricut has truly changed how brides plan their wedding décor and how party planners execute events. Can you speak on that?

A

People want to be able to customize and they see this machine as a way to put their own touches on things.

Weddings are perfect for DIY brides because a wedding alone is a huge expense, so if you can make something with the Cricut for a few dollars and customize it in minutes, it will save so much time and money.

Q

From paper and vinyl to fabric and leather, it seems there’s nothing this machine can’t make. What products are fun to make on the Cricut?

A

The intimidation is real so I recommend starting with a cardstock material. Play around with the web program—we have 75,000 images and fonts. As for the machine’s tools, there is the machine blades, which are similar to sewing sheers; a fabric bonded blade; a fine point and deep point blade; a spatula and scraper, all of which are very important when you’re crafting.

Q A

What kind of maintenance is involved?

It can get dirty and you may have to wipe it down and get new mats, which hold down your material, but it’s overall minimal maintenance. You’ll need to buy replacement blades once in a while as well.

Q A

Why should someone invest in a Cricut?

If you have an interest in the craft space, a Cricut is a must. It really is a life changer. There is such a sense of accomplishment when you complete your first project and it’s such a proud moment when you gift your creations and custom projects to friends and family. So many people have opened small businesses and it is even seeping into schools and universities.

Safe Boating Tips For Summer Fun

Invest in a personal flotation device for your pet

day on the water can be an enjoyable experience no matter what season it is, but it’s important to avoid any mishaps throughout your day on the boat.

With increasing boat activity in the run up to summer, Allstate reminds New York boaters that it is a good time to refresh their boating safety knowledge, assess local water levels and to review boating regulations.

Know how to navigate your vessel

When navigating the waters, it’s important to abide by the basic Rules of the Road, according to the USCG. Post a lookout, maintain a safe speed and avoid collision.

In addition to your own skin protection, keep your pet safe from the sun by checking out the new options in many pet stores for sunscreen designed specifically for animals. Keep your pet out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when the sun is strongest.

By following these tips, you, your family, pets and friends are well on your way to having an enjoyable and safe boating adventure this summer.

entanglement with ships or being struck by ships. This is why he seeks to educate others.

“Marine mammals are the sentinels of the health of our ocean ecosystems.

They are also threatened today…by human activities,” said Kopelman.

“Climate change, habitat destruction, unsustainable harvests, ubiquitous plastic pollution, noise pollution and unconstrained resource utilization at the expense of ecosystem services and wildlife is devastating to marine mammals and to all other living things.”

In addition to sharing interesting facts and figures about the animals passengers are seeing, as a naturalist he shares his passion for ocean conservation by offering advice on how to keep the oceans healthy. For example, he warns not to release helium balloons into the air. When mylar and party balloons land in the ocean, they can choke or strangle sea creatures.

He also discussed the practice of “scientific whaling” in countries like Iceland and Japan, which are blatant attempts to circumvent international regulations.

Kopelman is a professor of science

and ecology at SUNY Fashion Institute of Technology, where he teaches a course called “Ecology and Environmental Problems.”

“How awful would a world without whales be?” he asked. “We can do better. We must do better to ensure that our children and their children get to live in a healthy world, on a healthy planet, with healthy oceans.

We have to change the paradigm and embrace sustainability in all aspects.”

Kopelman has had many memorable experiences during his long career. In 1989, a humpback whale breached right near the ship and, in his surprise, exclaimed a slip of profanity into the microphone.

“I also remember the day in 2015, when we were coming back from a long trip with no whales only to encounter two North Atlantic right whales—the rarest of the baleen whales—just a few miles from Montauk Point,” he added.

In the Long Island area, whale-watching season takes place from July through the beginning of September. The Viking Starship goes out three times a week, on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, throughout the whole season, barring bad weather.

There’s no bad seat on the Viking Starship. Benches that line the port and starboard sides on the main level and upper deck provide an unobstructed view of the whales when they choose to show themselves. And if

you need a brief respite, the seats inside the cabin are a comfortable place to rest.

The cruise takes you about 12 nautical miles off shore, though sightings are possible at any time.

The excitement on the adults’ faces match that of the children whenever the boat slows down and everyone rushes to the side of the boat to catch a glimpse. There’s nothing quite as spectacular as seeing a 25-ton creature emerge from the ocean and plunge back in with a great big splash.

There are a few things you should make sure to bring when you take the cruise—a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses and an extra layer or two for when it gets chilly or windy out on the water. It’s also a great idea to bring binoculars or a camera, preferably one with a long lens and fast shutter.

Food and beverages are available, including water, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, soda, beer, breakfast items, sandwiches, burgers and hot dogs. However, you are welcome to pack a lunch and snacks for the journey.

Don’t Make It Complicated, Get Hydrated

BY RAYNA MCCANN

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Often times when thinking about nutrition or a healthy lifestyle, the first thought that comes to mind includes a form of dieting or weight.

However, there’s so much more to a healthy lifestyle than just weight and food. One common topic often overlooked is the importance of hydration. Adequate hydration is critical every day, and especially as the warmer weather develops.

There are various fluids and water rich food items that count towards our hydration but today, we’ll focus specifically on water. Below are a few tips to hopefully help you improve your hydration.

connection. If not, I encourage you to pick a water bottle that you actually want to take around with you. Having a water bottle with you during the day will make it easier to constantly be sipping.

Plus, you can readily fill up at water stations instead of drinking from plastic bottles. Consider the temperature you like when selecting a bottle as well. For instance, if you like ice cold water, be sure the bottle is well insulated. Picking a bottle to your liking will hopefully help to hydrate you.

Flavors can be life savers

You’ve likely heard of lemon flavored water, but have you heard of strawberry or mint flavored water? The options to flavor are endless and helps to take the bore out of plain water. If you don’t like lemon, don’t let that discourage you. Try to find a flavor that motivates you to drink. Some of my personal favorites include berries, oranges and cucumbers.

From sunrise to sunset, avoid regrets

You have 24 hours everyday to get enough water in. Now of course, everyone’s schedule is very different and most of us are (hopefully) sleeping for a portion of the day. But something to work into any schedule is drinking a glass of water when you first wake up. Yes, even before any coffee or tea.

Try to set realistic goals for yourself about how much you want to finish by certain markers throughout the day. Hold yourself accountable.

Sometimes, it helps to find a friend or family member who can check in on you and provide encouragement!

As with any nutrition topic, recommended hydration intake is personalized. Speak with your doctor and/or registered dietitian to help set a realistic and healthy hydration goal. Make time for yourself and invest in your health. As I tell my clients, be your own biggest advocate. Your health matters and a huge part of your health relies on your hydration. Now, let’s cheers to that (with water, of course).

Although they are small in physical stature, the bee is of paramount importance in this world. We need to ensure their protection and encourage these pollinators by providing the right flowers and plants.

Have you ever seen a honey bee with yellow on its legs? This is the pollen they carry and make into honey. So how can we help?

We can start by researching plant catalogs for flowering plants that encourage bees and other pollinators like butterflies and hummingbirds. Many catalogs sell plants in sets or kits to help you start your garden simply by following the guide.

Some bee-friendly plants include sunflowers, borage, bee balm, mint, zinnias, and foxglove.

Other flowers like a butterfly bush, are also a magnet for butterflies and bees. Try to grow bee-friendly plants in window boxes and in your backyards, no matter how large or small.

It is also important to provide

shelter, which can be done with a beehive. You can buy a beehive, complete with a queen bee—locally and online. Also, if you seed an area of your yard—or window boxes—with flowering plants, a variety of bees will come live there. The bees will reward you by pollinating your vegetables and other flowers.

Most importantly, do no use pesticides as they can cause sever harm to bees. Without bees, the world would be sorely affected.

USDA reported that 25 percent of flowering plants and 35 percent of food crops rely on pollinators like bees. There are 20,000 different types of bees but only 2 percent pollinate the world.

If we are all committed to proving flowers and shelter for bees, we can ensure future generations will have honey bees.

Summer Reads: Broadway Joe, Remembering A

BY JOE SCOTCHIE

jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

oe Namath is back with a short autobiography. All the Way: My Life in Four Quarters is co-written with Sean Mortimer and Don Yaeger. Every chapter recalls the 1969 Super Bowl III win over the Baltimore Colts.

“I was just responding to a question!” Namath protests over his famous “I guarantee it” victory promise. Namath takes the reader through his childhood and adolescence in Beaver Falls, PA, where he starred in both baseball and football at Beaver Falls High School. Western Pennsylvania is the mother lode of quarterbacks: Namath, George Blanda, Johnny Unitas, Dan Marino, Joe Montana, Joe Theismann and Jim Kelly. The game has never seen anything like it. Next up was the University of Alabama and his equally legendary career as the Crimson Tide’s starting quarterback in the early 1960s, when that team dominated college football. Paul “Bear” Bryant, Alabama’s storied head coach remains the adult figure that Namath admires above all men. Namath will always love New York and vice versa, but the man’s heart is at game day on a fall afternoon in Tuscaloosa.

Fresh off biographies on Antonin Scalia, Sandra Day O’Connor and Sonia Sotomayor, Ruth Biskupic takes on John Roberts, current Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (The Chief: The Life and Turbulent Times of Chief Justice John Roberts). Biskupic tells the story of an ambitious young man who penned a heartfelt admission letter to an elite boarding school in his native Indiana, as a way to achieve a step-up in the world.

Roberts was inspired by President Ronald Reagan’s 1981 inaugural address and was determined to be an effective foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution.

He spent the 1980s at the Justice Department and later was appointed to the Washington, DC circuit court before becoming George W. Bush’s choice to succeed William Rehnquist as chief justice.

Biskupic examines his record as chief justice. She

is critical of his decisions on voting rights, school busing and corporate money in politics and union issues. Roberts, too, cast the deciding vote affirming the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). With Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch now on the court, which John Roberts will stand up: The justice who promised to be a fair and impartial referee or the fifth vote of a conservative majority?

Dave Eggers’ eighth novel, The Parade, is a short, tense tale about an unnamed nation in the throes of surviving a civil war that has left death and destruction on both sides.

Two men, “Four” and “Nine” are hired to paint a yellow line from the new nation’s two-lane road from the countryside to its largest city. Four is all business. With a wife and daughter back home, he just wants to get the job done. Nine, on the other hand, is out for a good time. He happily mingles with the locals, in ways

e, The Roberts Court, g A Great Historian both innocent and not-so-innocent. It gets them both into big trouble. The terse novel will remind readers of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, about a father and son who are survivors of a nuclear war, plus the equally-bleak fiction of Don DeLillo.

John Lukacs: In Memoriam This past May, America lost one of its greatest historian with the passing of John Lukacs at age 95.

A native of Hungary who fled to the United States in the later 1940s, Lukacs was the author of more than 30 books, including such provocative classics as Four Days In May, Outgrowing Democracy, Historical Consciousness, A Thread Of Years and A Short History Of The Twentieth Century.

To Lukacs, history was a wild ride, full of those cunning passages and contrived corridors fate is heir to. The study of history is infinitely rewarding: Unpredictable, surprising, sobering and hopeful.

Lukacs never ran out of books to write, he simply ran out of time. An accessible prose stylist, Lukacs’s great subject was the twentieth century. Its defining moment came in May 1940, when Winston Churchill was determined to confront Adolf Hitler.

It was a closer call than people imagine. Members

of the ruling cabinet counseled in favor of an agreement with Berlin. Churchill said no. For Lukacs, this was correct on two counts. First, there was the obvious geo-strategic reasons: Hitler had conquered the continent. He had to be stopped somewhere. There was also an ideological reason. The century was defined by various “isms”: communism, fascism, socialism, capitalism. Of this quartet, fascism, with its emphasis on blood and land, plus scapegoating of “the other,” had the potential to be the most powerful of all. Stop it in its tracks.

Lukacs’s view of his adopted homeland was no less sanguine. In Outgrowing Democracy, Lukacs seemed both bemused—and critical—of American materialism, dramatized by its obsessive car culture. In an expanded edition, A New Republic, he mocked the idea of America as the “supreme rulers” of the planet. With its “last, best hope on earth” credo, America, to Lukacs, was in fact a deeply pessimistic nation. He worried that mighty America might yet become a burnt-out case.

For Lukacs, all roads led to 1940. He praised Churchill for giving the West “50 more years.” What happens after 1990? Lukacs saw the rising populism in today’s Europe as revealing echoes of the 1930s,

an observation I find dubious. In A Short History Of The Twentieth Century, Lukacs was strong on World War II, the Cold War and the postwar era. The historian also admitted weaknesses when confronting World War I. Did not the time of troubles actually begin in August 1914? Or had the two world wars simply sucked the life’s blood out of the West? The man, if still with us, would have enjoyed rebutting your servant. Get out your library card, rush to the bookstore or log onto to Amazon to discover the ever-expanding universe of John Lukacs.

Treat your tresses to the season’s best products

e’ve all been there—one too many dips in the pool and hours in the sun, and your hair is reduced to straw. It’s not fun, it’s not pretty and it’s certainly not the look you want to rock all summer long. Add to that all of the treatments you put your locks through (yes, that includes heat styling), and you may find yourself at a complete loss for restoring your mane to its healthy state. But, what you should also be careful about—and what many forget to consider—is your scalp health. This season, just as much as you nourish your hair, take care to nourish your scalp as well.

said Nunzio Saviano, owner of Nunzio Saviano Salon in Manhattan. . "It also dulls hair’s vibrancy and it is difficult to wash out after multiple applications."

To combat this, use the all-in-one spray—a leave-in treatment without the weight—to repair, detangle, control frizz, guard against heat tools and prevent breakage. Before styling, be sure to spritz the volumizing spray to boost your hair's height. Pair that with the styling foam and you'll see hair that's never been so smooth, rich and moisturized.

After doing up your hair to perfection, lock it all in with the hairspray for a touchably soft hold on hair, whether you're trying to keep curls in place or keep straight locks tame and smooth.

All Adria by Thalia products can be purchased at Target and Walmart. ...........

UMMA: A Good Hair Day of Seoul

Just as K-pop has taken the world by storm, so has Korean beauty.

From makeup to skin to hair, K-beauty covers

it all, and now, you can indulge in the ultimate K-beauty hair and scalp regimen with UMMA: A Good Hair Day of Seoul. Comprising seven Korean haircare products, this collection was put together

by UMMA’s Chief Curator Daniella Jung to solve any and every haircare woe.

“A healthy scalp is the essential first step toward achieving beautiful hair,” said UMMA Beauty America-Europe Regional Head Youn Chang. “In Korea, we approach our scalp care in the same way we think about our skincare—with multiple steps to cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate and nourish as the skin needs. In the summer months in particular, it is even more important to care for your scalp.”

With this in mind, the A Good Hair Day of Seoul collection includes: Beigic Scalp Revival Purifying Scrub; Beigic Damage Repair Treatment Mask; AMH Shampoo; Moremo Hair Essence Delightful Oil; Moremo Revitalizing Hair Tonic A; AMOS Repair Shine Enrich Night Cream; and White Rabbit Volumizing Air Brush. Complete with weekly, daily and on-the-go routines to achieve

your best hair yet, along with tips and tricks for each product and general haircare, this UMMA collection is a surefire way to make you think differently about how you treat your hair and scalp.

Starting with the Beigic scalp scrub, which doubles as a shampoo, cleanse and restore your scalp’s natural balance with ingredients like sea salt, mint menthol and green coffee bean, all while adding volume and radiance to your locks. If you choose to skip the scrub that day, use the deliciously pine-scented AMH shampoo—formulated with salicylic acid and zinc pyrithione to exfoliate and improve scalp health.

“Use a clarifying or scalp exfoliating shampoo once a week to remove styling product build up, dirt, debris and dead skin cells,” said Saviano.

“This allows products to work better and for active ingredients to penetrate the scalp.”

While scrubs and powerful shampoos can be taxing if used too often, forgo your usual conditioner and use the argan and rosehip oil-infused

Beigic treatment mask, intense enough—without a bad scent—to bring hair back from the damage done by chlorinated pools. Once you’re out of the shower, spray the Moremo tonic A directly onto your wet scalp to strengthen weakened roots with seven different plant root extracts and essential oils. Then, once hair is damp or dry, seal your cuticles and protect damaged tresses by applying the Moremo oil directly to the ends of your hair, delivering a healthy dose of hydration.

End the night with the White Rabbit brush, designed with S-shaped teeth that bend and flex to painlessly detangle hair while minimizing damage and adding volume.

Apply the AMOS night cream, avoiding the scalp, to seal in the products you’ve applied, maintain your hair’s water-oil balance, mend breakage, and moisturize and nourish your mane—all while you’re asleep.

UMMA: A Good Hair Day of Seoul is available for $99.99 at Costco (for both members and nonmembers).

FOOD/DRINK

Savor The Flavor

et summer ready with these delicious recipes that are bursting with bright, fresh flavor. Perfect for a summer barbecue or backyard gathering, whip up sweet potato gnocchi and beet ricotta dip and enjoy with a glass of Meiomi wine. Or better yet, use these recipes in tapas form and serve them at your next wine pairing party.

An Italian favorite, gnocchi gets a twist on the classic combination of potato, cream and chives (think scalloped potatoes or a baked potato with sour cream) and pairs perfectly with the dark fruit and jammy notes of Meiomi’s Pinot Noir. To elevate the dish while keeping things simple, we replaced the potato and cream with sweet potato and ricotta and pecorino cheese. The subtle hint of nutmeg rounds out the rich tomato flavor of the sauce and melds well with the traces of baking spices in the Pinot. The chives are an excellent

nod to the spring and bring a fresh awakening flavor to the dish.

Experience the taste of beets on a whole new level with the addition of creamy ricotta and citrusy lemon.

A colorful and tasty dip for crackers and vegetables this season.

Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Ricotta, Pecorino and Chives Serves 8

Gnocchi

2 large sweet potatoes, rinsed, patted dry and pierced all over with a fork 12 oz fresh ricotta, drained 1 cup or 3 oz aged Pecorino, finely grated (extra for garnish) 2 teaspoons salt 2½ cups all-purpose flour 1 cup chives, chopped (extra for garnish) 1 quarter teaspoon grated nutmeg

Top Weekend Getaways For Families

BY TRUMAN SCOTT

only about four hours of driving time between your family and countless activities such as parasailing, picnics, music venues, white-water rafting, horseback riding, panoramic views, delicious cuisine and more.

veryone knows how beneficial a good vacation, no matter how short, can be for both the mind and body—especially when you have an entire family to consider. Not only does it help reduce the overall level of stress within a household, but you can strengthen family relations and values—something people tend to neglect nowadays. So, let’s take a closer look at our selection of destinations that are both within driving distance and far enough away from everyday struggles.

Fire Island

Many families opt for locations within state borders to minimize time on the road.

Fortunately, the Empire State has plenty of family-friendly destinations to offer—here are my top seven to consider:

Lake George

To all the outdoors lovers out there, Lake George represents a weekend getaway dreamcome-true. Here, the sky is the limit—there are

Take a 20-minute ferry ride to a simpler world, one without the need for cars like the suburban jungle of home. Extending a single mile in width and 32 miles in length, Fire Island is the ideal beach getaway. With the 17 communities it is composed of, each area is different. Ocean Beach, Ocean Bay Park, Davis Park, Saltaire, Faire Harbor and Seaview are family-oriented areas. Note that most home owners will not offer rentals for less than a week. So, this is a trip you would have to plan and book well ahead of time, and it’s only an hour or less away.

WEEKEND GETAWAYS from page 32A

West Point

We are all aware of the military importance of West Point and the large piece of national history it presents. What you might not know is that you can experience a lot of family-friendly activities while there. A guided tour bus for those interested in the history of West Point, and exploring Bear Mountain State Park for those in search of adventure. Only two hours away, West Point has something for everyone.

Cooperstown

If baseball is held in high regard in your household, you will find the perfect setting in Cooperstown— the birthplace of national pastime.

Located just four hours from Nassau County, this example of the time-honored virtues of small-town America lives and breathes baseball. People from around the country flock to the now modernized and greatly expanded National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Shelter Island

If you want a weekend to spend doing absolutely nothing, then Shelter Island is the destination for you. Accessible only by ferry, the island has 20 miles of coastline— harbors, inlets, creeks, marshes, coves, etc. However, before you get into it all, you should know that only three beaches are public: Wades (family friendly), Shell (secluded)

and Crescent (magnet for hipsters).

Plus, it’s a short two hours away.

Hudson Valley

For families looking for a weekend filled with thrills and the full vacation package, the Rocking Horse Ranch in Hudson Valley is the choice of champions. With 500 acres of mountain views and a private lake, this resort offers

everything families might need to enjoy their weekend—from meals and evening entertainment to fun activities such as horseback riding, scavenger hunts, a water park, rock climbing, mini-golf, archery, full-service spa, magical shows and musical venues. Hudson Valley and all its beauty is located about two-and-a-half hours from Nassau County.

Adirondack Mountains

Last and the furthest on our list of weekend getaways for families on Long Island, The Adirondacks offer a unique thrill for mountain climbers—46 peaks more than 4,000 feet. Although there are more than 300 miles between Long Island and the Adirondacks (about a five-hour drive), just the number of picture-perfect lakes and streams will be worth the trip.
