(NAPSI)—The next time you need to fix your car, you’ll be better able to find the best price if you follow these four easy tips: 1. Get multiple repair quotes. For the more expensive maintenance and repairs, it can pay to call around to find the best price.

2. Look for exclusive offers and discounts from dealers and independent service shops.

3. Read customer reviews. A service shop with good prices but bad reviews may not be the best choice.

4. Look up repair estimates for the area on your smartphone using free apps such as myCarfax.com.

Catching Up with Oscar & Emmy Winning Actress Regina King

By Allison Kugel

With an acting career spanning four decades and multiple awards, Regina King has effortlessly embodied countless memorable characters across the big and small screens.

From thought provoking films like Boyz n the Hood, Poetic Justice, Jerry Maguire and Ray; to lighter fare like the Legally Blonde and Miss Congeniality franchises, Regina King brings a sparkle to every role she’s tackled. On the small screen, King’s presence in past television series like Southland, The Boondocks, The Leftovers, Shameless, and her Emmy-winning turn in American Crime, have highlighted some of the more significant social issues of our time. Wherever art is imitating life in a significant way, Regina King has been tapped to play a pivotal role in the project.

On February 24th, King took home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her stand-out role in the critically acclaimed film, If Beale Street Could Talk, now playing in theaters. Prior to the Academy Awards, Regina King and I discussed her Emmy-winning role as Latrice Butler, the grieving mother of a teenage son who is the victim of a death by auto hit and run perpetrated by a group of Jersey City police officers.

Regina King: I was drawn to the role of [prosecutor] KJ Harper (played

by Clare-Hope Ashitey), and [series creator] Veena Sud was sure that she wanted me for the role of Latrice. I liked the pilot script and decided to take that dive into the emotional pool.

Allison Kugel: You play the mother

Regina King: Being a mother myself, and the mother of a black young man, there are certain fears you have that are unique to having a black child in America. You have fears as a parent when your kids are growing up, because you can’t control everything.

But there are those experiences that are specific to black children that are not the same for others. You experience a bit of it, yourself, as a child growing up in America. You then carry that perspective with you throughout your life. So, I had that going into this role. I also spoke to a mother whose son was murdered by a police officer. Hearing her pain up close and personal, and her feeling safe enough to share it with me, I would say that combination was how Latrice was birthed.

Allison Kugel: Is the story a fictional account or based on true events?

Regina King: It was based on the truth as far as the regard for black American kids and the law, and how they are regarded in America. That part of it is true, of course. So many examples have had similar outcomes to this story, but it was not taken from one specific person’s story.

Allison Kugel: Do you think a series like Seven Seconds has the power to impact hearts and minds for societal change?

Regina King: I think [so]. What’s reflective for me is not reflective for you. Seeing it in a television show or in a movie creates an opportunity for each of us to see the other’s perspective. I feel that the series American Crime (the ABC series for which King won an Emmy) was very similar in that way.

Allison Kugel: Do you take a role like this home with you?

Regina King: I tried not to take it home with me. But again, a bit of this lives with you. It is the narrative of a part of the fabric of what America is.

It took a lot out of me; I’ll be honest. It was the closest to an experiential role I’ve ever had. I’ve known people who have been victims of police brutality, but no one who was closer than a friend or a distant family member.

Because it was a friend or a distant family member, I wasn’t with them in their day-to-day struggle of what that experience brings. You go through life hoping that you never personally have an experience like that, but you know that the odds are greater than

not that you will, because of who you are.

Allison Kugel: Let’s talk about your 2nd Emmy win for the Netflix limited series, Seven Seconds. In recent years, you are winning awards left and right? How does each time feel?

Regina King: All three times being nominated felt different. But there is nothing like the first anything, right?

It’s totally surreal. The second time is kind of like, “Nah-uh, really?! How did I find a hundred-dollar bill again in the exact same place?!” It’s one of those feelings. Not to be frivolous about it, but it’s like, what are the odds?

Allison Kugel: What do you see as your higher purpose in all that you do, from parenting your son to your work. And what spiritual philosophy do you subscribe to?

Regina King: Overall, just trying to walk in my truth. I recently did a panel talk (Entertainment Weekly’s Women Who Kick Ass Comic Con Panel) and [actress] Chloe Bennet said something that I definitely subscribe to. She said, “At this moment in time, I can feel a certain way and say a certain thing, and then in 2022 I might contradict that, just because I’m in a different place at that point.”

For me, I can only be in my truth right now, in this moment. If I am walking in that truth, if I share an opinion right now about something, in the year 2022 I will not say, “I didn’t say that back then.” I would know I said it, because in that moment it was true for me.

Allison Kugel: Right. You would say, that was me then. I saw this beautiful tribute on your Instagram feed to actress Marla Gibbs.

Marla gave you your first big job playing her daughter on the show 227 in the 1980s, when you were fourteen years old. You thanked her for all that she did for you as your mentor. You say, among many other things, “She taught me how to be a professional.” I want to ask you about some other influential people you’ve worked with over the years, and what your takeaway was from working with these people.

Let’s start with Tupac Shakur, who you worked with in 1993’s Poetic Justice.

Regina King: I would say he’s a man that walked in his truth. Man, did he ever! That would be the biggest takeaway, in that he was just unapologetic, and it was beautiful.

Allison Kugel: And working with Tom Cruise in 1996’s Jerry Maguire?

Regina King: An example of a consummate professional. If you hear anybody say that they don’t like that guy, hmmm, I don’t know. I’d have to go back and look in the books on that person. He’s a good guy, and he is a professional. He is that same example of what Marla [Gibbs] was, and I saw from him that it exists when you’re on that mega level.

Allison Kugel: And working with Jamie Foxx in 2004’s Ray? Regina King: Jamie is super talented.

The first thing that came to my mind when you said “Jamie,” is that he’s a caring guy. He takes great care with things that he does, and with the people that he works with. That’s the reason why he’s so good at embodying a character, because he takes care with the details.

Allison Kugel: I also came across a picture you posted with your son.

You were waiting in line together to vote in the June 2018 primaries, and it was his first time voting.

Finish this sentence for me: “I hope that in my son’s lifetime…”

Regina King: The first thing that came to my mind is that he wants to have children, but he goes back and forth between asking if it’s irresponsible to bring children into this world or not.

And I see where he is coming from with that.

Allison Kugel: Tell him that you have great faith in the next generation to lift the consciousness of this planet.

Regina King: Oh, I tell him that all the time, that I have great faith in him and his generation. Literally, from year to year with the conversations that we have, it goes from, “When I have kids,” to, “Man, I don’t know if I want to bring a kid into all this.” Just because of certain things that happen in the world. It’s the same reason you

don’t want to turn on the news half the time.

Allison Kugel: If there’s one thing the kids from Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida showed me, it’s that with the younger generations coming up, there is a different level of consciousness, and it gives me great hope.

Regina King: What I love is that they’re able to articulate their passion in a way that is open. Whereas, I feel like a lot of our generation, we weren’t able to articulate our anger as effectively. There is a maturity present with the younger generation, but they still have that passion. It makes me more confident in what they can accomplish.

Cyber Security

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone announced that Suffolk County is undertaking a Cybersecurity Project to determine any existing vulnerabilities to cyber-attacks, as well as what recommendations should be implemented to protect its physical and digital infrastructure.

The County, through the RFP process, selected RedLand Strategies to help lead a thorough assessment of its current network with the assistance of Palo Alto Networks.

The Project will focus on three public safety departments that include the Suffolk County Police Department, Suffolk County Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Services, and the Suffolk County Department of Information Technology.

The cost of the project totals $55,000, which is being funded as part of a federal grant from the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, under the State Homeland Security Program.

RECIPES

Peach Crisp

By Helene Kolotkin of Deer Park Helene Kolotkin of Deer Park enjoys making her Peach Crisp recipe as winter begins to give way to the beginning of the spring season.

According to Helene, "The recipe was given to me by a neighbor of mine who moved to Long Island from California, so I guess you could say this recipe originated on the west coast."

Once spring rolls around, Helene knows it's time to start making her Peach Crisp. "It's my offiical marker that spring is right around the corner, and it's one of my favorite desserts!"

Helene recommends serving her Peach Crisp warm, with vanilla ice cream.

What You Will Need 4-6 cups peeled and sliced peaches 1 cup flour 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 tspn nutmeg

1/4 tspn salt 1/2 tspn cinnamon 1/2 cup butter 2 tbsp water grated rind and juice of 1/2 a lemon Preparation Mix flour, sugars, nutmeg, salt and cinnamon. Mix in butter with a fork until coarse crumbs are formed. Place peaches in a greased 9x9 baking dish.

Cover fruit mixture with crumbs and pat down. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Then uncover, and bake for another 30 minutes until top is browned.

Serve and Enjoy!

Too Many Walls By: CIP

If walls could feel, would they smile inside The day you came home in this world alive If walls could feel, would they watch so in-depth The moment you took your very first step If walls could feel, would they rejoice and play At each birthday, every candle blown away If walls could feel, would they not want to joke That night you came home and your heart was broke If walls could feel, would they be so pleased Of every accomplishment and thing you achieved If walls could feel, would they shed a tear As you planned your wedding and the day drew near If walls could feel, would it be so exquisite All the times you came home for a surprise visit If walls could feel, would they mourn the loss Of the matriarch and this ill-begotten cross If walls could feel, would they not understand Who now walks inside, every strange man If walls could feel, would they be so sad At every new box and packed garbage bag If walls could feel, would they begin to know That the time’s finally come when you must go If walls could feel, would they embrace your kiss That you gave and told them that they would be missed A wall could last forever, but people grow apart I’ll miss you walls, forever in my heart E-mail Your Submissions for Poets’ Corner Send To: AllisonK@SouthBaysNeighbor.com

The Charity of the Month for March is: Birthday Wishes!

It’s not every day that you come across a group of people who are so selfless and who work tirelessly to give others the opportunity to have something that isn’t even a necessity. I happened to come across passionate and compassionate people like this and knew I had to feature what they do!

Birthday Wishes is an organization whose mission is to provide birthday parties to children experiencing homelessness.

They improve and empower the lives of homeless children and their families by providing joy, play and hope through the magic of a birthday party.

program is their On-Site Party Program, which provides monthly parties at the shelters they serve and this celebrates all children with birthdays in that month. The second program is their Birthday-in-a-Box Program, which provides a party packed into a birthday box, which is delivered to families in domestic violence and scattered sites.

In 2018, Birthday Wishes of Long Island served 669 girls and 619 boys with more than 6,500 homemade cupcakes, more than 6,000 goody bags, 1,200 craft and activity kits, 7,728 gifts wrapped and delivered and more than 1,100 Birthday-ina-Box Kits built by volunteers.

All of their birthday parties are run by carefully trained and backgroundchecked volunteers, who participate as individuals, families and groups. Their grassroots philosophy fosters the spirit of volunteerism and community service in adults, children and families, who donate their time and resources! Birthday Wishes is the first organization in the entire nation, and the only one on Long Island, to provide this invaluable service.

Birthday Wishes began in Massachusetts and after the first national news story released featuring Birthday Wishes, a social worker from Long Island was so inspired that she contact the co-founder to bring the joy of a birthday party to the homeless community here on Long Island.

Birthday Wishes of Long Island began having parties in one shelter, and today they work with 80 shelters/transitional housing programs in Nassau and Suffolk counties. Each month they give more than 120 children a birthday celebration!

A great way to support Birthday Wishes is to attend or sponsor their 2nd annual Food, Wine, & Wishes Event on March 20th at Appliance World of Huntington. This is a fun evening of chef tastings from top Long Island restaurants, as well as terrific silent auctions and over 75 raffles. To purchase tickets, please visit www.LongIsland.BirthdayWishes.org/ Food-Wine-Wishes. Tickets are $60.00 per person and sponsorship opportunities are available. Feel free to call their office at (516) 390-3505 for additional information.

Each birthday child receives supplies to have a party with all the children that live in the shelter, such as juice boxes, cake or cupcakes, candles, decorations, paper good and yes, a wonderful bag of presents to open! Birthday Wishes serves children ages 1-19.

This organization provides birthday parties through two programs. One

Most people are so fortunate that they don’t even think twice about celebrating their birthday with gifts and a birthday cake; they just assume that will happen every birthday! But for some families, a birthday party is a luxury that they simply cannot afford. On their birthday, some children may not expect any gifts and cannot imagine their name on a birthday cake with brightly lit colorful candles just for them. This is where Birthday Wishes steps in!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Sunday, March 17th The Legend of The Shamrock

Good St. Patrick traveled far to teach God’s Holy Word, and when he came to Erin’s sod, a wonderous thing occurred...

He plucked a shamrock from the earth and held it in his hand, to symbolize the Trinity that all might understand... the first leaf for the Father, and the second for the Son, the third leaf for the Holy Spirit - Three of Them in One.

( N A P S ) — Osteoporosis—bone loss—is a serious condition that half of all women and many men can expect to develop at some time in their lives.

Fortunately, it can be detected and treated. In fact, women who have a bone density scan have 35 percent fewer hip fractures than those who do not. The problem is only 23 percent of eligible patients are scanned. The experts at the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) say that if you’re a woman over 65 or a man over 70 or if you’re over 50, postmenopausal and have risk factors for osteoporosis, you should probably talk to your doctor or other health care provider about getting a bone density test, especially if you’ve never had one. Many doctors are learning more about this testing device at www. hologic.com.

East Islip Alumnus Support Vets Thanks to East Islip High School alumnus Robert Hoelzer Jr., owner of the local business Island Air Heating and Cooling, veterans at the American Legion hall are staying warm with a new heating system.

Hoelzer, a graduate of East Islip’s Class of 1988, resides in East Islip with wife Timmi. They have three children: Oakdale resident Tricia, college

sophomore Tyler, and East Islip Middle School sixthgrader Takoda. He started Island Air in 1999, and the company soon grew from one man and his van to a burgeoning business with 10 employees and an entire fleet of vans.

When Hoelzer learned that the local veterans were without heat, he worked with Bruce Bartlett of Platsky Company, who donated a heating unit, and

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone announced that Suffolk County is undertaking a Cybersecurity Project to determine any existing vulnerabilities to cyberattacks, as well as what recommendations should be implemented to protect its physical and digital infrastructure.

The County, through the RFP process, selected RedLand Strategies to help lead a thorough assessment of its current network with the assistance of Palo Alto Networks.

The Project

will focus on three public safety departments that include the Suffolk County Police Department, Suffolk County Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Services, and the Suffolk County Department of Information Technology.

The cost of the project totals $55,000, which is being funded as part of a federal grant from the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, under the State Homeland Security Program.

“Visual artists, unlike performance artists, don’t often get public recognition or applause,” said Vincent Green, Islip’s director of fine and performing arts. “The art show is a wonderful opportunity for the Islip community to recognize the creativity of these young artists.

Mind Your Maintenance

EAST ISLIP - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY MARCH 6, 2019 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

(NAPSI)—To make your car last, you have to put it first. Sticking to the maintenance schedule for your specific car keeps it running properly and protects you from expensive repairs. Here are three of the top items to consider to keep your car in tip-top shape.

• Oil changes—This is probably THE most important thing you can do

for your car. Skipping even one oil change can start damaging your engine.

• Preventative maintenance—Fluids, spark plugs, drive belts and more all need to be checked and changed at certain intervals, especially on higher-mileage cars.

• Tire rotations—Tires can be very expensive to replace. As one vehicle owner complained, “It’s

easy to pass service milestones if you don’t get reminders...I had to replace four tires on my wife’s SUV before their time at over $900 a set.”

Fortunately, taking care of your car can be easier with help from myCarfax. com. You can sign up at no cost to get reminders when it’s time for the next service visit.

Stop Roof Streaks (NAPSI)—If you ever see black or other colored streaks on your roof, your problem is more than looks-but it can be resolved.

What It Is Those streaks come from vegetation eating the mineral content of your shingles. The vegetation is literally eating your roof for lunch. Not taken care of, it will shorten the life of

your roof dramatically.

What To Do Fortunately, there are inexpensive, easy-to-apply cleaners that can remove this unwanted vegetation.

They come in concentrate and are diluted to the desired strength. The diluted solution is placed in a garden-type sprayer and applied to the roof, and in a half hour or less you rinse it off and the stains

are gone. These cleaners contain no chlorine bleach.

There’s no threat to your perimeter plantings. Two of the more popular such cleaners are Shingle Shield and Stainhandler.

Learn More You can get all the details on these cleaners at www.stainhandler.com, (800) 942-3004 and www. shingleshield.com, (888) 724-6426.

Successful Performance Benefit “Step Into Christmas” Benefit by local dancers raised $5,000 to help families of children with congenital heart defects This past December the Dance Connection Performance Team and Dance Connection Theatrical Productions held a benefit performance at the CM Performing Arts Center in Oakdale to raise money for Gavin’s Got Heart - a local charity assisting families of infants and children diagnosed with congenital heart defects. The original production raised $5,000 for the charity, which was used to provide 24 hour in-home nursing care for a family that allowed them to bring their baby home from the hospital.

“Our studio is always looking for ways to use our passion for dance and performance to give

back to our community.

Gavin’s Got Heart is an organization that provides an amazing service to local families in need, and we are so proud to have helped provide assistance in achieving their goals”, Mary Naftal, Artistic Director.

Gavin’s Got Heart helps to subsidize medical bills, travel expenses associated with hospitalizations and medical care, and offset loss of wages for caregiver/ parent(s). To date Gavin’s Got Heart has donated over $215,000 to 43 local heart families. Gavin’s Got Heart also provides free heart screenings, and CPR/AED training for the community through a partnership with Northwell Health and provides hospital outreach initiatives for heart families.

The cast of 37 people worked to put the show

together beginning in October, with an original script by Colleen M. Hughes and choreography by the Dance Connection Teaching Staff. They were thrilled to be brought together after the holidays to present Nicole Mogil, the founder of Gavin’s Got Heart with the $5,000 raised by their efforts.

Founded in September 1989, Dance Connection is an Islip based company whose mission is to create a welcoming and fun setting for proper performing arts education. With over 85 classes per week, students of all ages and abilities have a professional and exciting experience every day.

PUZZLE ANSWERS:

East Islip High School seniors Hanna Benardos, Max Calarco, Genevieve Imhof and Gia Piazza – all enrolled in Daniel Figliozzi’s AP Studio Art 2D Design class – were selected for the Art League of Long Island’s 12th annual Go APE Advanced Placement Exhibition, which showcases exceptional work by art students from all over Long Island. The show, displayed at the Art

League’s Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery, runs from February 16th through March 3rd, culminating in a closing artists’ reception and awards presentation on March 3rd.

“These four students are exceptional,” said Figliozzi.

“They each have a unique vision and demonstrate a variety of strong technical abilities in their chosen craft, whether it be traditional drawing,

digital photography, fashion illustration or digital illustration. I have no doubt that they will do something creative in their futures.”

All four East Islip seniors plan to attend art school in the fall and are in the process of finishing applying and committing to schools. Benardos, known for her unique and unconventional vision, plans to attend fashion

school and is leaning toward the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles or the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Calarco, an

Advanced ‘APE’ Exhibit accomplished illustrator and cartoonist, will major in digital art and design at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida.

Imhof, who specializes in photorealistic drawings

and paintings, will attend the College of New Rochelle, studying art education. Piazza, acclaimed for her dynamic triptychs, plans to pursue photography in college.

Kickline Championships East Islip’s high school and middle school dance clubs recently competed against schools from across Long Island as well as Connecticut at

the Scholastic Kickline Championships, held at Nassau Community College.

The high schoolers placed second in the pom category, as well

as fourth in both jazz and hip hop. The middle school squad, competing in pom, finished in third place.
