Grandma O'Leary's Cheesecake

By Kerry O'Leary-Mastrobuoni of Massapequa

For Kerry O'Leary-Mastrobuoni, her grandmother's cheesecake has been a centerpiece of family life since her childhood. She says the family now makes Grandma O'Leary's cheesecake several times per year, including Christmas and Easter, in memory of her grandmother, Helen O'Leary.

"She's gone now," says Kerry, "but we continue to make her delicious cheesecake in honor of her."

What You Will Need

3 8 oz. packages of Philadelphia cream cheese 7 oz. of sugar 1 1/2 oz. of flour 4 whole eggs 5 oz. of sour cream 6 oz. of heavy cream 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust (optional) Mixing bowl and electric mixer Glass baking pan & aluminum baking pan

Combine Pre-heat oven to 500 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, add cream cheese,

sugar, flour and vanilla. Mix until creamy.

Slowly add in eggs on a low speed. Add sour cream and heavy cream on a low speed.

Pour Pour mixture into glass pie pan. If using pie crust, then pour into crust and place entire pie into glass pan. Lower glass pan into a slightly larger aluminum pan coated in hot water (to avoid any burning). Make sure cheesecake ingredients are level with water in aluminum pan (3/4 of the way up the outside of the glass pie pan. Do not over fill).

Bake Bake for 10 minutes at 500 degrees.

Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees and bake for another 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees and bake for 20 minutes.

Carefully remove cheese cake from water bath and allow to cool before serving. Enjoy!

The Morning Hour I find there is nothing more spectacular than rising early in the morning before others awaken, to take an hour or two to simply... be. The sun is just starting to rise, the house is quiet and still, nobody needs anything from me, and I don’t yet have to get ready for my day. Most significantly, I don’t have to be “me” yet. What do I mean by that?

When our body awakens in the morning, there is a process that immediately starts unfolding. If we’re fortunate to have a bit of extra time, we can slowly open our eyes, stretch our body, take some cleansing breathes and enjoy the comfort of our bed for a few precious moments. But what happens next? Suddenly we remember who we are, as the preset programs rapidly download into our waking mind. We’re hit with a rush of information. “I have to get up and feed the dog, and get the kids ready for school, and get ready for work, and I have that deadline to meet, and there is going to be rush hour traffic this morning, and I have to pay that bill... and, and, and...

Once the old programs begin to play, we’ve lost that special energy field we’re in when we first wake up. Lately, I like to wake up at least an hour early. I use this “hour of power” to stretch, breathe, pray and sit in front of my fireplace sipping my coffee as the run rises. I focus on gratitude and count my blessings. Then, I take a moment to focus on my goals for the day, the week, the month. Not my obligations, there is plenty of time for that later in the day. In this sacred hour, I focus on my goals; the things I want to achieve to further empower my life and to be of service to others.

It’s not easy being you, as it is not easy being me. That is, the me that is my daily program of stressors, responsibilities, obligations, dramas and problems. Have you noticed that when you are on vacation you feel invigorated, as though you’ve suddenly got a new lease on life?

It’s because that new atmosphere jolts you out of the past and the future, and delivers you directly into the present moment where you forget to be you. You forget

all of the regrets of the past, the worries about the future, and you are just pure consciousness. You are no longer trapped in space and time. You are existing in no time (past or future), no space (your worldly designations), no thing (you). You achieve this same feeling when you are newly in love, or on those days where you serendipitously have the best day ever that just seemed to magically come together; one of those days you always remember. You, quite literally, forget to be stressed or unhappy. The joy of the moment has put you in the now. It’s a different state of consciousness.

You can create that feeling daily by allowing yourself an extra hour in your day, when you first wake up, to revel in a pocket of time where you are nothing in particular, and yet everything, at the same time. It takes some discipline to wake up an hour before you have to, but the feeling of positivity and empowerment it affords is well worth practicing this new habit. You are investing one hour in you, the best investment you can make.

McLaughlin studied sound.

He built three boxes, one insulated by cardboard, another by foam and a third by plastic wrap. He placed a speaker in each box, played the same song, and used an app to measure the decibels.

Timothy determined that foam best absorbed the sound.

Rachel Schnaier and Nadia Matos studied the adsorption capabilities of different brands of diapers.

After pouring water into all five diapers, they determined which was the best based on both quality and cost.

The fair was coordinated by science teachers Amanda Shirreffs and Roseann Zeblisky. They explained that students could pick any scientific topic to study.

“We encouraged the students to find something of interest to them,” Ms. Zeblisky said. “They all did a really good job. A lot of artistic ability was shown in their displays and there were some engineering feats, too.” SHARING SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE - Tyler Curry, left, tried Corey Rylander’s spin art machine.

Rita Moreno: Legacy of a Hollywood Pioneer and Humanitarian

By Allison Kugel

Multi-award-winning actress, singer and dancer, Rita Moreno, blazed an iconic trail as the first mainstream Hispanic actress to grace Hollywood, when she played Anita in 1961’s classic film, West Side Story.

SEAFORD - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 20, 2019 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

Throughout the decades, the Oscar, Emmy, Grammy and Tony award winner continued to take on roles on her own terms, proving her staying power for six decades. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, she played Sister Peter Marie Reimondo in HBO’s first original dramatic series, OZ. Moreno currently stars as Abuelita Lydia Riera, the hilariously, spicy grandmother on the new incarnation of Norman Lear’s television creation, One Day at a Time, now streaming its third season on Netflix. The show’s official premise is, “Two Cultures, One Familia.” It’s an updated twist on the 1975 hit series starring Bonnie Franklin, Mackenzie Phillips, Valerie Bertinelli and Pat Harrington, but with a twist. The reboot centers around a Hispanic American family.

In 2014, Actor Morgan Freeman presented Moreno with the Screen Actor’s Guild Lifetime Achievement Award, calling her “a world class actress, singer and dancer,” and just as significantly, “a fighter, who battled to break free of racial and sexual barriers that plagued Hollywood’s golden age.” Before there was Rosie Perez, Salma Hyek or Jennifer Lopez, there was the inimitable Rita Moreno.

Recently, Moreno got the call from Steven Spielberg, for a remake of the film that put her on the map, West Side Story. Moreno will play a role in the film as well as Executive Produce. I sat down with Rita Moreno to discuss her career and journey.

Allison Kugel: When you won your

Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 1962 for the film, West Side Story, you thought you would transcend racial stereotypes with the parts you would be offered.

Rita Moreno: And I was very disappointed (laughs). Not only disappointed, but it really, really broke my heart.

Allison Kugel: Your famous quote about this phase of your career was, “I showed them. I didn’t work for seven years.”

Rita Moreno: When I say, “I showed them,” of course I’m being facetious.

Allison Kugel: Of course. And in this business, it’s very hard to turn down work. Writers write; Actors act. It’s what you do, and you crave it.

Rita Moreno: Not only crave it. It pays the rent.

Allison Kugel: Yeah, and then there’s that! (Laughs) Any regrets about taking that stance?

Rita Moreno: I think it was a very good decision on my part, because the only thing that was being offered, really, were gang movies, and they certainly weren’t as interesting as West Side Story. I think it would have depressed the heck out of me to go back to that stuff. It paid off in the sense that I had peace of mind, and I didn’t feel like I was being insulted.

Allison Kugel: Let’s talk about the amazing Norman Lear and the One Day at a Time reboot on Netflix you’re starring in.

Rita Moreno: Isn’t he something?!

Allison Kugel: I think he is a genius!

Rita Moreno: He is a genius, you’re right. He’s still going strong. He’s going to be 96, and he can speak and he can walk (laughs). He’s a remarkable man, and a lovely, lovely person.

Allison Kugel: All in the Family is my favorite sitcom of all time.

Rita Moreno: Oh, it’s one of my favorite shows too!

Allison Kugel: The way he has tackled race, gender, religion, sexuality...on and on, has helped to re-shape society. The original One Day at a Time with Bonnie Franklin, Mackenzie Phillips, Valerie Bertinelli was very progressive in that single motherhood was much more taboo at that time. With this

updated version, there’s an extra layer to the story in that the family are Hispanic Americans. After all you went through in terms of fighting for roles that accurately represent Hispanic people, do you feel a sense of vindication at portraying a positive representation of a Hispanic family on television?

Rita Moreno: Vindication implies that I’m still angry. No, I don’t feel any sense of vindication. I’m just so happy and so proud that Hispanics have more representation.

I think we’re still not there. I think we are underrepresented. But feeling vindictive is a waste of time, don’t you think?

Allison Kugel: Wrong choice of words. Perhaps a better way to put it would be, “a sense of wholeness.”

I was watching an episode earlier, and there’s a scene where your character, Lydia, is talking about the racial slurs she endured in her generation. When her daughter and granddaughter ask her for specifics, Lydia summons up the courage to say the word “spic” out loud. The context of the scene is that she is disempowering that word that was so painful for her.

Rita Moreno: What was so remarkable about that scene is that kids don’t even [fully] understand that word. Lydia is carrying on and on about the word “spic,” and everybody in the room is like, “Yeah, so?” It was a terrible word in my time. I love that!

Allison Kugel: What do you hope viewers of the updated ODAAT will learn about Hispanic American families?

Rita Moreno: It’s what I think they are learning, because we have now gained an American audience as well. We always, of course, had the Hispanic community watching the show. People who are not Hispanic are learning that family is family is family. It’s universal. That’s what Norman was hoping for. You want the universality of the situation to work on people, and that’s what has happened. That moment of, “Oh My God. We’re like that too!” Just add in some spice and some deliciousness, which is the Hispanic nature of the show.

Allison Kugel: When you hear other Hispanic performers speak, and I know I have heard this from Jennifer Lopez, they always refer to you as the gold standard of excellence and inspiration. You made them believe that this career was achievable for them. Have you had a chance to

speak to any of the younger Latino actors and singers about your influence on them?

Rita Moreno: I’ve heard it from Jennifer, and I’ve heard it from Rosie Perez, and also from Andy Garcia.

Allison Kugel: As someone who emigrated to the states from Puerto Rico as a young girl and who wanted to be a performer, who did you look to as a blueprint?

Rita Moreno: Well, you know what?

No, there were no role models when I was young, and working in the movies in my late teens. There was nobody. I chose one for myself.

I chose Elizabeth Taylor, because she was close to my age and she was brunette (laughs); and she was beautiful and gorgeous. I made her my role model. But, you know, there was just nobody that looked like me.

The Hispanic community very often calls me La Pionera, the Pioneer.

Allison Kugel: Let’s talk about the upcoming remake of the film West Side Story.

Rita Moreno: Isn’t that astonishing though? Talk about coming full circle.

Allison Kugel: How did you become involved as Executive Producer?

Rita Moreno: [Steven Spielberg] always wanted to do the film and he was a good friend of Robert Wise, who co-directed the original film with Jerome Robbins. The interesting thing is that he’s not updating [the story]. It will still take place in 1957. It’s Romeo and Juliet. What’s wonderful about the young girl that he chose for the remake (17-yearold newcomer, Rachel Zegler) is that she is a young girl. Natalie Wood was a woman. I was a woman, playing Anita. I was really, way too old for that role. But that’s how it happened, then. Tony Kushner is doing the script. He wrote Angels in America.

The storyline in the new film will be that Doc, who owned the candy store

in the original film, passed away, and now it’s Valentina who runs the candy store (being played by Moreno). They offered the Executive Producer credit to me, because Steven feels that I am the bridge to this movie.

Allison Kugel: In the original West Side Story, Natalie Wood who played Maria, was not Hispanic.

Is the young actress who will play Maria in the remake, of Puerto Rican descent?

Rita Moreno: She’s Hispanic, and that’s what counts. I think she’s Columbian. Here’s the thing; she’s Hispanic, she sings and she’s seventeen. With Romeo and Juliet, that’s how old Juliet was supposed to be. Steven Spielberg and Tony Kushner have been absolutely crazy when it comes to finding Hispanic people to play the Hispanic roles. They even called the University of Puerto Rico and made an appointment for a panel meeting with an audience who were allowed to ask questions about the movie, and [express] how they felt about it. But I did tell Steven, I said, “You know, there are always people with agendas. There will always be somebody who’s not happy with it because of… whatever. So, get used to that. It’s going to happen.”

Feeling the Fury By: John McGowan

The wave broke hard on my meager attempt To avoid its clash and left me spent Pulling myself together for another swell This time I dodged it, underneath I sped Feeling the fury above my head I had tied the score with nature’s onslaught But now I looked out and felt I’d be caught Would I make another successful ascent?

Or fall to its fury despite my intent?

Let’s leave it at that for another day Next time my timing will come, minus delay

Cat people might seem eccentric At times over the top When they see an animal in crisis Their eyes start to pop They open their bag of magic Take out love, hope and prayer And if they can’t save them At least they were there To hold them and cuddle To pet them, keep them warm And if one hundred cats die Then one hundred they mourn They feed them, give them shelter Keep them safe from the rain When the animal suffers We feel their pain Love in our hearts A soft spot in our souls The way we feel about animals Only God really knows So here is to the cat people For everything they do Is for the good of the animals From people with hearts so true E-mail Your Submissions for Poets’ Corner Send To: AllisonK@SouthBaysNeighbor.com

Seaford Manor Elementary School students have been in a charitable mood lately, and there is no end in sight to their giving spirit.

The fifth-grade classes came together to host a coat drive for the Long Island Council of Churches, based in Freeport. During the weeklong collection, they received 100 coats, 34 hats, 17 scarves, 26 gloves and 37 sweatshirts.

The idea came from student Camryn Umhafer, who said she wanted to do a project with her classmates to help the homeless.

Students made posters

to hang around the school to promote the drive. Verity Lines moving company donated two wardrobe boxes to collect the clothing.

During the first week of February, the reading department hosted a book and e-reader collection for The Book Fairies. Students donated hundreds of new and gently used books for readers of all ages. The items are distributed to high-poverty schools and organization across the New York metropolitan area.

In March, the school will partner with Assemblyman

David McDonough for the annual Baxter Pet Pantry pet food drive. From March 4 to 18, students will collect unopened bags of cat and dog food, canned food, kitty litter, treats and new pet toys. Items for ferrets, fish, hamsters and other common family pets are also accepted.

Additionally, all students in third, fourth and fifth graders will submit essays based on the theme, “What animal kindness means to me.” The children will be able to include photos and information about their own family pets.

Modern Hearing Aids Modern hearing aids feature technology that continuously monitors the environment and singles out the dominant

speaker while reducing background noise. Some people find they can actually hear better than their companions with

normal hearing in very loud surroundings. Learn more about overcoming hearing loss at www. signiausa.com.

Ticket Amnesty Program Suffolk County to Waive All Late Fees and Penalties for Outstanding Tickets Through February 28, 2019.

The Suffolk County Traffic and Parking Violation Agency today announced that the County’s amnesty program to waive all late fees and penalties for moving violations, parking tickets, and red light camera citations has been extended through February 28. Since it was launched in December, 2018, the amnesty program has helped more than 2,300 residents settle outstanding penalties.

Once the amnesty program has concluded, TPVA will embark on an aggressive collection and enforcement program including the use of an outside boot and tow contractor.

Paul Margiotta, Executive Director of

Suffolk County Traffic and Parking Violation Agency, said: “We can think of no better Valentine’s Day gift than offering our residents an extra week to rectify their outstanding violations. Before it is too late, I urge everyone to take advantage of this program before enforcement action is taken.”

The amnesty program applies to Red Light Camera Safety Program citations, as well as those with moving violations and parking tickets. The program additionally applies to moving violations, including those that may have been pled to parking tickets. However, amnesty does not apply to cases where a judge has suspended the driver’s registration/privilege to register a motor vehicle in New York State or cases in which a hearing for suspension is pending.

Following the amnesty program’s conclusion on February 28, offenders’ vehicles with multiple outstanding fines are be subject to booting and/ or towing. Parking tickets with an existing judgment on said ticket will be eligible for amnesty as well. For Red Light Camera citations with an existing judgment but not with a suspended registration or pending suspension hearing, the TPVA will waive late fees of $25.

Those interested in taking advantage of the amnesty program can visit Suffolk County Traffic Court in the H. Lee Dennison Building, located at 100 Veterans Memorial Highway, in Hauppauge, before February 28, 2019.

For any questions, please call 866.637.0008 between 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday, except during the holidays.

The Stage is Set For Seaford Historical Society The Seaford Historical Society’s first general meeting of 2019 will host guest speakers and Seaford residents Mark and Dylan Perlman, owners and managing partners of the new Argyle Theatre in Babylon Village. This father and son team will discuss a dream come true, the possibility of Broadway-style theatrical entertainment here on Long Island’s South Shore.

The Argyle is almost 100 years old as a building, born in 1921 as the Capitol

Theatre, providing live staged performances in the era of vaudeville. In its lifetime, it became known as the Babylon Theatre and was a local attraction for movie goers for decades.

Its 3-year dormancy was the inspiration for Dr. Mark and son Dylan, whose 2017 purchase of an historic venue has transformed the location into a state-of-the-art yearround professional theatre, now completings its first full year of operation which has featured drama,

musicals, comedians, concerts and children’s theatre. The Perlmans will present the story of their incredible and inspiring venture at the Seaford Historical Museum at 7 PM on Thursday, March 7. Admission is free for Historical Society members, and visitors are also welcome for a nominal fee. Come hear the Perlmans reveal how their love of staged performances has generated a true work PRESENTING THEIR FINDINGS - Erin Ortiz, left, Sophia Barnjak and Paulina of art.
