The Argyle Theatre (Mark and Dylan Perlman, Managing Partners; Evan Pappas, Artistic Director), presents the hit Broadway musical Cabaret with music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and book by Joe Masteroff, based on the play by John Van Druten and stories by Christopher Isherwood. Performances begin Friday, September 17th for a limited engagement through Sunday afternoon, October 24th at The Argyle Theatre (34 West Main Street, Babylon, Long Island). Cabaret is presented through special arrangement with Concord Theatricals. Directed

by Evan Pappas, with choreography by Sara Brians and music direction by Jonathan Brenner, the cast will feature Dana Costello as Sally Bowles, Jon Peterson as The Emcee, and Andy Tighe as Cliff Bradshaw, with Fred Frabotta as Herr Schultz, Brian Owen as Ernst Ludwig, Suzanne Grodner as Fräulein Schneider, and Lilly Tobin as Fräulein Kost, as well as Alexis Semevolos and Conor Stepnowski.

Mark and Dylan Perlman, Argyle Managing Partners, shared “We are thrilled to reopen The Argyle’s theatrical season and close out The Argyle’s second season with the multiple Tony award winning classic Cabaret.” They went on to say, “Come join us at the Kit Kat Club in Berlin in 1931 where patrons search for escape while the seeds of intolerance are fomenting. Be captivated in a time and place where nothing is certain except for one’s dreams.”

In a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920’s draws to a close, a garish Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience and assures them they will forget all their troubles at the Cabaret. With the Emcee’s bawdy songs as wry commentary, Cabaret explores the dark, heady, and tumultuous life of Berlin’s natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. Cliff Bradsaw, a young American writer newly arrived in Berlin, is immediately taken by English singer Sally Bowles. Meanwhile, Fräulein Schneider, proprietor of Cliff and Sally’s boarding house, tentatively begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a mild-mannered fruit seller who happens to be Jewish.

First presented in 1966, the ground-breaking musical Cabaret won an impressive 8 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, which then culminated into a smashing Oscar Winning film in 1972 winning 8 Oscars. This classic Kander and Ebb score is entertaining, thought- provoking and Broadway musical theatre at its best. “Cabaret still remains one of the greatest musicals,” exclaimed director Evan Pappas. “The craftsmanship and the storytelling by Kander, Ebb, and Masteroff is masterful!” He ended with, “We have just the cast and creative team to present it.”

Cabaret will play the following performance schedule: Thursday through Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m., Saturday afternoons at 2:30 p.m. and Sunday afternoons at 2:00 p.m. with Special Added Performances on Wednesday evening, October 20 at 7:30 p.m. and Thursday October 21, at 2:00 pm.

White Coat Ceremony Welcomes Future MDs to the RSOM

The Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University welcomed its incoming 2021 class at the annual White Coat Ceremony on August 15.

A total of 136 students for the first time donned their white coats and took the Hippocratic Oath at a ceremony in the Staller Center. They begin their medical training during a year that marks the 50th anniversary of the school.

William Wertheim, MD, Interim Dean, cited the students as a unique and talented incoming class entering medicine at a challenging and changing time in the profession. He emphasized professionalism and compassion for patients as two of the leading areas they will need to develop and build on in their medical school training years.

A large portion of the class hails from New York State (69 percent), yet many students are from all over including 13 other U.S. states and five countries. They are among a select group, as the school received more than 5,800 applications for

a position in the class.

“I feel like entering the medical field during these pandemic times will give my class a humbler perspective on medicine,” said student Jessica Kwong, who had majored in Psychology and Linguistics at Emory University. “I have no idea what I want to specialize in, but during the pandemic I worked with the elderly populations and organized a tele-volunteer initiative.

I do plan on working with underserved populations, which is why I minored in Spanish so I can use it in my practice as a future physician.”

“This pandemic has shown me just how critical physicians are, and I am excited to see how myself and classmates can help in the Covid-19 crisis,” said Michelle Carfagno, who started to become very interested in medicine at age 12 when she had a knee injury. A Cornell University graduate who majored in Biological Sciences, Carfagno is very interested in the relationship between nutrition and disease and is considering a path in primary care or perhaps

specializing in GI diseases at some point.

Career-changer Carlos Ortiz worked in the area of supply chain management but was also a volunteer EMT. He found EMT work fulfilling. That service along with his interest in maintaining physical health and supporting others to do the same inspired him to pursue medicine. Ortiz also found himself on the front lines during the pandemic, which he says further helped prep him for medical school.

As the need for more physicians continues in the U.S. and worldwide due to aging populations, increased medical interventions, and a new lens on public health due to the pandemic, it’s fitting that the 2021 incoming class is one of the RSOM’s largest to date. Four members of the school’s first entering class of 1971 attended the ceremony to celebrate with the new students.

That class included only 24 individuals, 16 men and eight women.

to our youngest students starting kindergarten, we are confident that this year will be one of growth, knowledge and discovery.”

Students had their backpacks and masks on and were eager to head into the building for the year ahead. Adhering to District protocols, students arrived at school and had their temperatures taken prior to entering the building for the day. After they received the approval to proceed, they headed to their new classrooms that feature sneeze guards and desks that are socially distanced.

At Miller Place High School, the driveway leading up to the building was lined with signs of yellow ribbons to honor

their former classmate, Thomas Scully, who passed away from pediatric cancer in 2016 at the age of 12.

Students entered the building through a golden balloon arch in Thomas’ honor as this would have been his senior year.

At the elementary level, students at Andrew Muller Primary School (AMPS) and Laddie A. Decker Sound Beach School (LADSBS) ran off their buses with joy as they greeted their principals and found their way to their new classrooms. Students at North Country Road Middle School (NCRMS) were ecstatic to be reunited with their friends and peers as they entered the building together.

and to President McInnis and her team for their dedication and boundless enthusiasm to do all they can to give our students the best that higher education can offer.”

The new 1​ 77,000-squarefoot Union is the result of three years of renovations at $63.4 million dollars.

The stunning building features three levels dedicated to student services and studentcentric spaces, a main lobby that supports studying and collaborative learning through comfortable seating, powered stations, more than 3,500 square feet of tutoring space, and an IT help desk.

The Student Union will also now become a central location for offices and departments that are student-facing, providing easy access and convenience. The newly designated and centralized Office of Student Life has combined Student Engagement & Activities, Student Community Development, Commuter Student Services, and Fraternity and Sorority

Life.

The lower level offers additional resources, including a Club Hub, ESports Club, Interfaith Center, and an enhanced space for the Stony Brook Food Pantry — available to students, faculty and staff.

It also houses the oldest existing club on campus — the Science Fiction Forum.

“The Stony Brook Union has been a pillar on our campus for more than 50 years,” said President Maurie McInnis.

“Originally opening in 1970, little more than a decade after the inception of Stony Brook University, the Union symbolized the rapid growth of our institution and its meteoric rise in both reputation and ability to serve a dynamic and diverse range of students. After the long year we’ve all experienced, it is so satisfying it is to be honoring a space entirely dedicated to our community.”

The Union was designed by architectural firm Spectorgroup.

As the Stony Brook University Campus comes back to life after facing a year of Pandemic-style learning, the University celebrated the opening of its new state-of-the-art Student Union. The new Union is designed to be a high-energy, inclusive space where all students can feel welcomed, and the robust presence from the Stony Brook Campus Community at the event revealed that sentiment.

SUNY Chancellor Jim Malatras, who attended the celebration, said, “As we are fully reopening our campuses, you feel a renewed energy and optimism from everyone around, and for the students at Stony Brook University, what better way to celebrate them than this new state-of-theart student union. Our students deserve this and it matches the outstanding education they receive from this university, one of the best in the world.

My thanks to the New York state Legislature for the critical funding that made this building a reality,

Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation Awards Grant To Montauk Point Lighthouse The Montauk Historical Society (MHS) has announced receipt of a grant of $390,700 from the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation for the restoration of the iconic 225-year-old sandstone and brick Montauk Point Lighthouse.

The lighthouse, commissioned in 1792 by President George Washington, was built in 1796 and has served as an aid to navigation ever since. Citing high maintenance costs, the U.S. Coast Guard considered abandoning the historic structure and replacing it with a skeletal tower and light. Instead, they agreed to sell it to the Montauk Historical Society, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The Coast Guard still maintains the beacon, visible over 19 nautical miles, but care of the grounds, and maintenance and repair of the buildings, are the sole responsibility of MHS. “We are able to fund the everyday interior and exterior upkeep of the lighthouse through entry fees, gift-shop sales, and private donations,” said Dick White, MHS Treasurer and Chair of the Lighthouse Committee. “But when substantial restoration work needs to be done, we have to seek other ways to fund it. We are immensely grateful to the Gardiner Foundation for stepping up to help us save this National Historic Landmark.”

Construction professionals on the MHS Board had been monitoring worsening water damage on the exterior and interior of the lighthouse tower, and in 2016 and 2017, they commissioned

feasibility and engineering studies to determine the causes and extent of the damage.

“For centuries, the lighthouse has been exposed to the most extreme weather conditions,” said Nick Racanelli, construction expert and MHS Board member. “We found that the lantern and its metal work had begun to deteriorate, allowing water to pour into the cavity between the inner and outer walls of the tower, where it froze and thawed. This led to cracking, bulging and spalling of the historic sandstone, which was aggravated by previous repairs that used hard cement, further weakening the stone.”

The MHS Board made the decision to proceed immediately with a full restoration, before the integrity of the 18th-century tower was compromised. They completed the first phase of work in 2020, repairing the metal work to minimize further water infiltration.

The second phase of work calls for stripping the structure of its many layers of existing coatings, repointing all the joints with lime-putty mortar, and repairing the damaged stone and brickwork.

“Phase Two is the most extensive and expensive phase of the restoration, and this is where the Gardiner Foundation will make a huge difference,” said Racanelli. “Getting a large grant like this allows us to complete these vital repairs, while continuing to keep our museum open and offer our visitors interesting and exciting programming. It makes all the difference.”

“The history of the Montauk Lighthouse as an original welcoming beacon to New York coupled with its striking presence makes an iconic symbol not only of Long Island but of hope and safe harbor to millions,” said Kathryn Curran, Executive Director of the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation.

“The Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation's mission is to promote the advancement of our regional history. We are delighted to be working with the Montauk Historical Society on the restoration of this important historic structure.”

Established in 1987, the Robert David Lion

Gardiner Foundation primarily supports the study of Long Island history. Robert David Lion Gardiner was, until his death in August 2005, the 16th Lord of the Manor of Gardiner’s Island, NY. The Gardiner family and their descendants have owned Gardiner’s Island since 1639, obtained as part of a royal grant from King Charles I of England. The Foundation is inspired by Robert David Lion Gardiner’s personal passion for New York history.

Meet the Reboli Center’s Artisan for the Month of September: Potter Donna McGee

DONNA MCGEE at the Jacob Cramer Centre for the Arts in Leeds, Yorkshire, England.

According to Donna, “I took one class in pottery in college and hated it. A couple of years later, I took another class and decided that this was what I wanted to do. I am mostly selftaught and have always had confidence in my drawings and creativity – that is what propels me. I make pieces that are both functional, as well as decorative, because I am a realist and want my

work to be used.” Once she calculated that she made about 1000 pots per year. While her work is her own, she does take some commissions. Her process involves making the item either wheel thrown or slab built, and then painting the background color on it while the clay is still wet.

After the first firing, she paints the details, applies a transparent glaze, and fires the piece again. “My work is known for its variety of drawings and paintings,” added Donna McGee. Donna McGee’s work is on display during the month of September and admission to the Reboli Center for Art & History is free. The hours are TuesdaySaturday 11am-5pm and Sunday from 1pm-5pm.

The Reboli Center is located at 64 Main Street, Stony Brook, NY. For more information, please visit the Center’s website at www.rebolicenter.org or call 631-751-7707.

She chose hematology and oncology because the field was both challenging and rewarding. “I was scared of losing the people I loved and believed that if I became a doctor, I could take care of them and others,” she said.

“I think what sets me apart from other physicians is that I treat every patient like family.”

Dr. Riaz earned a combined Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree at NYIT College Of Osteopathic Medicine. In addition, she completed her Internal Medicine Residency and Hematology

Legislator Nick Caracappa Reminds Residents “Be Prepared for Hurricane Season” The 2021 Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 1, and will end on November 30. Suffolk County Legislator Nick Caracappa would like to encourage residents to be prepared. “Most of this past year’s focus has been on the Coronavirus pandemic, but we must still remember that the hurricane season is upon us. It is important to be aware and prepared,” stated Legislator Caracappa. “Let’s all be prepared for the worst, and hope for the best.”

The following tips are provided by ready. gov/hurricanes.

Please visit the site below for a comprehensive list of suggestions for before, during, and after a hurricane or tropical storm: https://www.ready.

gov/hurricanes#before Know your Hurricane Risk Hurricanes are not just a coastal problem. Find out how rain, wind, water, even tornadoes could happen far inland from where a hurricane or tropical storm makes landfall. Start preparing now.

Make an Emergency Plan Make sure everyone in your household knows and understands your hurricane plan. In your hurricane plans include the office, kids’ daycare, and anywhere you frequent.

Ensure your business has a continuity plan to continue operating when disaster strikes.

Discuss the latest Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidance on Coronavirus (COVID-19) and how it may affect your hurricane

planning.

Know your Evacuation Zone You may have to evacuate quickly due to a hurricane if you live in an evacuation zone. Learn your evacuation routes, practice with household, pets, and identify where you will stay.

• Follow the instructions from local emergency managers, who work closely with state, local, tribal, and territorial agencies and partners.

They will provide the latest recommendations based on the threat to your community and appropriate safety measures.

Recognize Warnings and Alerts Have several ways to receive alerts. Download the FEMA app and receive real-time alerts

Families Anonymous Virtual Meetings 12-Step support group giving Hope & Strength to parents, family and friends concerned with a loved one’s destructive behavior

caused by Alcohol, Drugs or Related Behavioral Problems is now meeting virtually until further notice.

information e-mail or call: Donna526@aol.com or (631) 589.3790; Diane (631) 587.0966, www.

from the National Weather Service for up to five locations nationwide. Sign up for community alerts in your area and be aware of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA)which requires no-sign up.

Those with Disabilities If you or anyone in your household is an individual with a disability identify if you may need additional help during an emergency.

Review Important Documents Make sure your insurance policies and personal documents like ID are up to date. Make copies and keep them in a secure password protected digital space.

Strengthen your Home De-clutter drains and gutters, bring in outside furniture; consider hurricane shutters.

Get Tech Ready Keep your cell phone charged when you know a hurricane is in the forecast and purchase backup charging devices to power electronics.

Help your Neighborhood

Check with neighbors, senior adults, or those who may need additional help securing hurricane plans to see how you can be of assistance to others Gather Supplies Have enough supplies for your household, include medication, disinfectant supplies, masks, and pet supplies in your go bag or car trunk. After a hurricane, you may not have access to these supplies for days or even weeks.

• Remember that not everyone can afford to

respond by stocking up on necessities. For those who can afford it, making essential purchases and slowly building up supplies in advance will allow for longer time periods between shopping trips.

This helps to protect those who are unable to procure essentials beforehand and must shop more frequently.

Only take the items you and your family may need so that others who rely on these products can also access them.

Have a great summer, and stay safe!
