They grew from having two programs, eight horses and 80 students per week to 11 programs, 25 horses and 400 students per week - and they continue to grow today!

“Our mission has been, and continues to be, to provide a comprehensive therapeutic equine program using horses to facilitate growth, learning and healing,” said Lisa Gatti, Founder and CEO of Pal-O-Mine Equestrian. “We proudly serve individuals with disabilities, those who have been abused or neglected, the military and the impoverished.”

Gilbert & Sullivan Comes To North Babylon

BMGS Art Students Take Part In PTA Reflections Contest Theme For The 2022-2023 Contest Is ‘Show Your

Voice’

For enduring appeal, the comic operas of Gilbert & Sullivan rank second only to Shakespeare in the history of English-language theater. But how did W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan create the operas that have linked their names in fame for more than a century?

The Gilbert & Sullivan Light Opera Company of Long Island answers that question in Very Truly Yours, Gilbert & Sullivan, coming to the North Babylon Public Library on Sunday, January 15, at 2 p.m.

Written and directed by Gayden Wren, with music directed by and accompanied by Thomas Z. Shepard, Very Truly Yours, Gilbert & Sullivan tells the story of the Victorian masters through their own diaries and correspondence, as well as contemporary reviews and memoirs, plus at least one song from each of the 14 Gilbert & Sullivan operas, including H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance and The Mikado. The show includes both famous favorites and delightful rarities, making it a splendid evening for seasoned Savoyard and complete novice alike, and for audiences of all ages.

The cast includes five singers, each a veteran of many company productions—the Light Opera Company is 63 years old, but the five singers have well over 100 years’ cumulative experience. Kara Vertucci of Lindenhurst is the soprano, Terry Hochler of East Meadow the mezzosoprano, Richard Risi of Locust Valley the tenor, Ben Salers of Northport the baritone and Henry Horstmann of Lindenhurst the bass.

“The story of Gilbert & Sullivan is as rich in drama, humor and human interest as any of their operas,” Wren said. “These were the greatest playwright and the greatest composer of the late Victorian era, working together to create masterpiece after masterpiece—but they were also human beings with human strengths and weaknesses. Gilbert’s correspondence is as funny as his operas, but he was also arrogant and hard to get along with. Sullivan was universally beloved, but was a womanizer and a gambler who drove Gilbert crazy by his unwillingness to do anything until the last possible moment.

“This show offers a peek into their working methods, drawing on their correspondence as they wrote the operas,” he continued. “They were geniuses, but they didn’t always get everything right the first time, and the show reflects that. Most of all, though, it’s an inspiring story of two proud, ambitious men slowly coming to realize that together they are greater than either is capable of becoming individually. There’s a lesson there for all of us.”

Very Truly Yours, Gilbert & Sullivan will be presented on Sunday, January 15, at 2 p.m. at the North Babylon Public Library, 815 Deer Park Avenue in North Babylon.  Admission is free.  For further information, call (631) 669-4020 or visit www.northbabylonpl.org.

Three Babylon Memorial Grade School student artists are taking part in the national PTA Reflections Contest. The artists are 4th grader Alicia G, 5th grader Michael P. and 6th grader Mia P. They will join student artists from across the country participating in this longrunning national program.

The theme for this year’s Reflections contest is “Show Your Voice.” Students in age groups ranging from Pre-K through high school can submit their completed work in the categories of dance choreography, music composition, film production, photography literature or visual arts. Alicia, Michael and Mia submitted their works in the visual arts category.

The Reflections contest draws more than 300,000 submissions and helps students explore their feelings through different forms of expression all while

Using Time More Wisely

Better Heart Health

(NAPSI)—The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute created With Every Heartbeat Is Life, to help African Americans have better heart health. Learn more at hearttruth.gov.

Committing to using time more wisely is a popular New Year’s resolution each year. Though millions of individuals can undoubtedly find various ways that they waste time each day, the most significant ways time is wasted by the average person may be somewhat beyond the individual’s control.

According to a 2022 survey commissioned by Duolingo and conducted by OnePoll, more than 50 percent of the 2,000 people surveyed indicated waiting on hold while

on the phone is their biggest time waster. Other significant time vampires include standing in lines (45 percent) and sitting in traffic (44 percent).

These time wasters are so significant that those behind the poll estimated that the average person loses one month of their life every year doing

nothing. But all hope is not lost. Individuals who want to cut down on all that wasted time can call customer service hotlines during off-peak hours (generally considered to be before 7 a.m. and after 7 p.m.), shop online or during off-peak hours (grocery stores tend to be less busy in early mornings and on weeknights than weekend mornings and afternoons), and utilize public transportation to get to and from work so their commutes can be spent doing something productive and not sitting idly in traffic.
