Hunting for Mini Mart’s history Village museum gathering artifacts from Mini Mart

By WILL SHEELINE wsheeline@liherald.com

For nearly six decades, Mini Mart has been a fixture of Sea Cliff ’s yearly calendar, an arts and crafts exposition that is a quintessential part of the village’s unique character.

Now the Sea Cliff Village Museum, under the guidance of director Courtney Chambers, and with the enthusiastic support of Kristine Janusas, a museum board member and the president of Friends of the Museum, is embarking on a mission to collect artifacts from Mini Mart, hoping to gather pieces of art, clothing and memorabilia from throughout the event’s history.

The idea to preserve Mini Mart history grew out of a deep-seated love of the event and a desire to capture its essence for future generations. Janusas, a Sea Cliff native with roots stretching back four generations, fondly recalled childhood memories of the event.

“Mini Mart is like a holiday in my book,” she said. “So all those years during Covid, when it was canceled, oh, I was so upset.”

Chambers echoed those sentiments, emphasizing the significance of Mini Mart as a cornerstone of Sea Cliff ’s cultural heritage. She added that the event has undergone several changes over the years, and that it’s important to capture CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

Artist brings ‘night magic’ to Sea Cliff

By WILL SHEELINE wsheeline@liherald.com

The Sea Cliff Arts Council proudly presents its latest exhibit showcasing the remarkable artwork of Glen Cove resident Michael Ach. The exhibit, which opened March 8 at the Sea Cliff Arts Council gallery, features 19 pieces that of fer a mesmerizing jour ney t h ro u g h A ch ’s creative evolution.

Ach, a former professional photographer mentored by the late Neil Scholl, has had a diverse career spanning photography, teaching, and framing. His journey from sculptor to photographer to the creator of intricate assemblages is evident in each meticuHEIDI HUNT lously crafted Co-chair, Sea Cliff piece on display.

Arts Council “ U s u a l ly s o m e t h i n g prompts me to create a piece,” Ach explained. “So what’s a little different about the show is that each piece is kind of unrelated to the next.”

Joan Harrison, Ach’s wife and a fellow artist, shed light on his artistic journey, emphasizing his keen eye for detail and diverse skill set. She shared insights into Ach’s creative process, describing how he meticulously selects objects, often salvaged from nature or found during kayaking trips, to incorporate into his artwork.

He’s also a very competent woodworker, and he puts all of his skills into making these pieces.”

Heidi Hunt, co-chair of the Sea Cliff Arts Council, highlighted the uniqueness of Ach’s work, noting its threedimensional quality within the confines of a two-dimensional frame. She expressed admiration for Ach’s ability to capture the essence of his ideas in each piece, drawing viewers into a world where art and imagination intersect.

“What I found fascinating is that his pieces encapsulate the third dimension

within the frame of a photographer’s lens,” Hunt remarked. “You could see the literal frame around the work, but the work existing inside that frame was coming towards you because it’s threedimensional.”

Attendees of the exhibit’s opening and Ach’s artist talk have been captivated by the intricate details and thought-provoking concepts conveyed in his artwork according to Hunt. She added that her favorite piece from the exhibit, a stunning three-dimensional creation that defied the traditional confines of a frame.

“It was like a marriage of all his concepts brought into one really suc-

The exhibit, titled “Night Magic & Other Strange Visions,” will be on display at the Sea Cliff Arts Council gallery through the end of May. Visitors are invited to explore Ach’s captivating artwork and experience the rich tapestry of stories woven into each piece.

Hofstra seeks repeat conference title

By ANDREW COEN sports@liherald.com

Hofstra’s softball team is seeking an encore from the program’s first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2018 last season with many new faces.

Led largely by five veteran fifth-year players, the Pride punched its NCAA Tournament ticket with a dramatic 5-4 walk-off conference title win in the bottom of the seventh inning against Towson after trailing by one entering the final frame. Hofstra was picked to finish third in the Coastal Athletic Association this season and coach Adrienne Clark is hoping her team is once again positioned for some postseason magic.

“Anytime you yield success it is motivating for the incoming class,” said Clark, who as a Hofstra player led the Pride to four straight CAA titles from 2002-05.

Hofstra got a big confidence boost it can go toe-to-toe with the nation’s best when it battled then 12th-ranked Missouri on March 26 at home and took the SEC power to extra innings before falling 2-1.

The late afternoon game against Missouri, which is coached by former Hofstra coach Larissa Anderson, came immediately after the Tigers crushed Fordham 20-0 on the same field that afternoon.

“Having a top 25 team come here and have that game at home was really incredible,” said Clark, who played for Anderson when she was an assistant coach at Hofstra in the early 2000s. “It shows we are capable of beating anyone on any given day.”

Senior pitcher Julie Apsel showed why she’s the ace of the Pride staff in the Missouri gamer tossing a four-hitter over nine innings to an explosive lineup. She continued the momentum of the Missouri game with three wins during a CAA sweep North Carolina-Wilmington last weekend, where she surrendered just two runs.

Apsel is among a number of pitchers Clark can turn to in the bullpen including local high school products Marisa Ogden (Sewanhaka) and Anna Butler (Seaford.)

Senior pitcher Julia Apsel limited powerhouse Missouri to four hits over nine innings March 26 and is the ace of Hofstra’s staff. native, has been working her way back from an injury suffered last season and Clark also expects her to play a key role in a deep rotation.

“They are different types of pitchers which is positive for us because we can put them in different situations to allow for success,” Clark said.

While Clark lost some key offensive talent from last year’s conference championship squad, the Pride returned reigning All-CAA First Team center fielder Chelsea Manto, who hit .301 with 27 stolen bases. The graduate student from Robbinsville, New Jersey is on pace for another big season with a .280 average and 12 stolen bases through the first 27 games.

Senior catcher Becca Vaillancourt has emerged as the Pride’s leading hitter so far with a..373 average with five home runs while also leading the pitching staff behind the plate. Olivia Malinowski and

The Pride looks to repeat as conference champs this spring and return to the NCAA Tournament.

Aliya Catanzarita have also been big producers at the plate early on this season displaying home run power at times.

Sophomore shortstop Allana Morse, a Mepham High School graduate, is another big focal point of the Hofstra offense after earning CAA All-Rookie Team honors as a freshman with 46 hits including a double in the NCAA Tournament against top-ranked Oklahoma. The North Bellmore native has also blossomed into a solid defensive player anchoring the middle infield.

“She has been so incredible at shortstop this year with some of the plays she has made,” said Clark of Morse. “The ball rarely gets by her in the infield.”

Freshman right fielder Lily Yepez, a former Mepham teammate of Morse, has

also emerged as a key bat in the lineup and was fifth on the team in batting to close the month of March. The North Bellmore native helped lead the Pirates to three county championships and two Long Island titles.

After hosting North Carolina A&T this weekend, the Pride return home to face Long Island rival Stony Brook in another crucial three-game CAA series from April 12-14. The final home conference games are slated for April 26-28 against Hampton.

The CAA Tournament is May 8-11 at UMC-Wilmington where the Pride will look to defend its crown. Hofstra entered the week tied for second in the CAA standings at 8-4 with 15 conference games remaining.

Hospital receives recognition from Leapfrog Group for their exemplary care for diabetes.

The hospital received national recognition for the first time on March 20 from the American Diabetes Association and The Leapfrog Group as one of 17 hospitals honored with the designation of “Recognized Leader in Caring for People Living with Diabetes.”

“These hospitals are leading the nation in dedication to people with diabetes,” Dr. Robert Gabbay, the ADA’s chief scientific and medical officer, said.

“Safe, effective, patient-centered care from hospital admission through a patient’s return home lowers risks of serious health complications and improves outcomes for people living with diabetes.”

The Leapfrog Group, an independent national watchdog for patient safety, evaluates hospitals based on their care for patients with diabetes during admission, stay and discharge. The group’s objective is to counter the heightened safety risks faced by approximately 8 million people living with diabetes who are hospitalized each year.

Dr. Bradley Sherman, chair of medicine at Glen Cove Hospital, said a great deal of effort is spent to keep the hospital’s diabetes program stellar.

“I think the key for us is a very strong, organized program, which continues to look at how we can continue to improve,” Sher man said. “There’s monthly meetings from the diabetes

team and we continually are working on projects that improve the care. I think we’ve become a nationally recognized leader in diabetes care for all of the work that’s been done.”

Glen Cove Hospital screens for diabetes among hospitalized patients, particularly those undergoing surgery, protocols are in place to minimize the incidence of hypoglycemia, and there is much care given to optimizing the medical management of patients that come in with diabetes, Sherman added.

“We have a number of diabetes champions, usually nurses who have gone through the protocol of learning to be expert in diabetes care, to be able to teach others about that,” he said. “Diabetes is becoming an epidemic, given the fact that there’s such a high incidence of diabetes in the community.”

Keber said the hospital has been working since 2007 to put in place a diabetes program, which works directly with patients to educate them on how to manage their diabetes after they leave the hospital. And the hospital assists the uninsured as well as the insured.

“We have programs set up for the uninsured with our family medicine center,” she explained. “We are equitable about the care we provide for both, and this makes us stand out more.”

It’s about teamwork, she added, which includes nurses and ambulatory physicians. Many patients who come to the hospital for another issue find out

Dr. Manuel Flores and his wife, Magda, have nothing but positive things to say about the treatment at Glen Cove Hospital. Flores was diagnosed at Glen Cove Hospital with a rare autoimmune disease and developed diabetes from the steroids used for treatment. they have diabetes or learn their diabetes is out of control.

“We have specialty physicians for diabetes, our pharmacists, case managers who all work together to help patients when they are discharged,” she said. “Over 90 of our nursing staff are specially trained to educate patients for care when they go home. Interdisciplinary is the key. We work as a team with our inpatients and outpatients which is

unusual.”

Flores is a dean at a medical school in the Caribbean — the University of Health Sciences. He would travel there in the past but now works from home.

He is required to wear a mask everywhere and is unable to go out in public places as he once did until he recovers.

Although he misses going out to dinner with his wife and visiting friends, he’s encouraged that he is getting stronger, he said.

Flores has nothing but positive memories of his care at Glen Cove Hospital.

“It was a very, very good team I had there. They went the extra mile for me,” Flores said. “They really care about their patients. One of the topics I’ve always taught in medical school is doctor-patient relationship. It’s very important to me.”

His wife Magda said she appreciated the care doctors and nurses took to speak to her whenever she needed clarification. They were comforting.

“They were very empathetic,” she recalled. “There were times they didn’t know what they were dealing with. My husband has a very rare autoimmune disorder. So there were times they’d say, we don’t know how this is going to go but this is what we think may happen.

They were honest with us.”

And Magda said she appreciated that the doctors, nurses and staff were positive. “He wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for them,” she said.

According to the New York State Bar Association, “medical aid in dying is a medical practice that has been adopted in ten US jurisdictions (WA, MT, VT, CA, CO, D.C., HI, ME, NJ, NM) that allows a terminally ill, mentally capable adult with a prognosis of six months or less to live to request from their doctor a prescription for medication they can decide to self-ingest to die peacefully in their sleep.” New York’s MAID law will be considered by the legislature this year.

Protections in the proposed law include (1) a requirement that two physicians confirm the person is terminally ill with a prognosis of six months or less months to live, (2) the individual is informed of palliative care and hospice options, (3) there is a mandatory mental health evaluation if either physician has any concerns about the person’s mental capacity, (4) the request be in writing witnessed by two people, neither of whom stand to benefit from the person’s estate, and (5) anyone attempting to coerce a person will face criminal prosecution.

MAID is inextricably tied to hospice and palliative care, of which a core value is patient dignity and autonomy. New York ranks last in the country for hospice utilization due to health providers failing to provide information and counseling on these end of life options.

Options will now be required to be discussed under a provision requiring “informed consent”.

Public and organizational support for MAID is widespread.

Gallup reports that 74% of US adults believe that doctors should be allowed to end the life of a patient with an incurable disease “by some painless means”. By a margin of 50% to 26% New York physicians support MAID. Taking into account the sensibilities of those health professionals who oppose MAID (formerly known as “physician assisted suicide”) on moral or religious grounds, by allowing them to opt out without penalty, the proposed law will offer an end to needless end of life pain and suffering for countless New Yorkers.

Two special awards also were handed out for the Next Generation-Under 30, while the late Karen Tenenbaum was commemorated for her work founding Tenenbaum Law. “This feels so much like a homecoming,” said Tifphani White-King, principal U.S. national tax practice leader of Mazars Group — and the event’s keynote speaker.

“I grew up here in Long Island, and there’s nothing like being celebrated and recognized and humbled by your hometown.”

The workplace, she added, “is really about women helping other women. Lifting each other up as we continue to climb the proverbial crystal staircase that Langston Hughes has talked about in his poetry.”

“I think that it’s great to have these awards to honor women who are working so hard and building these businesses,” said Liz Bentley, president of Liz Bentley Associates in Cold Spring Harbor. “As women leaders, we have to go first on things that may be difficult or scary, but we can do it and we’re good at it. It makes a difference.”

Aimee Kestenberg Elan, founder and designer for Affordable Luxury Group, was honored in the entrepreneur category. Now celebrating the company’s 10th anniversary, she reflected on the long path that got her here in the first place.

“I was the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors,” she said. “This is definitely an accomplishment for my family since we didn’t know if we were going to make it in general. Being here tonight is something special for me to show my children that women can do anything — which is a big reason I do what I do.”

The awards highlighted women from many different industries, like health care. That’s where Tameka Wallace, associate executive director of perioperative services at Glen Cove Hospital, shares her pride in being among the women leaders acknowledged.

“To be honored amongst all these amazing women — and for my hospital — it feels amazing,” she said.

Managing more than $18 million in revenue while overseeing more than 100 employees, Wallace admits she can’t do it alone.

“You do such hard work, it’s important to acknowledge both the people in and out of work,” she said. “My family is just as part of my success as I am a part of theirs.”

regional and political sales for the Disney ad sales team.

“I think it gets better and better for female executives, because now we have each other to lean on,” she said. “It’s so important to see — especially for future generations that you can do anything in this world.”

That’s something Seema Bhansali, vice president of employee experience

and inclusion for the Henry Schein health care company, also focuses on.

“I brought my 16-year-old daughter because I want her to see that women have their own space and can own themselves in a very specific way,” she said.

“It can be hard for women to say, ‘Yeah, I’m good.’ I want her to see that (imposter syndrome) doesn’t have to be her reality.”

Angela Hayes, director of the customer experience group at Paraco Gas, shared an optimistic look at the future of women in the workforce.

“You see more CEOs, COOs, CFOs … women in all areas of business now,” she said. “The ceiling is smashed.

There’s nothing we can’t do.”

The dinner and award ceremony are reminders to the communities of Long Island about the women who are leading the way.

“It was a privilege to be in the same room with such a talented, driven and giving group of strong and fearless women,” said Amy Amato, executive director of RichnerLive.

The Premier Business Women of Long Island Awards gala gold sponsor was Glen Cove Hospital-Northwell Health. Silver sponsors were Mazars, Henry Schein, Certilman Balin, Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology, Valley Women in Business, and Capell Barnett Matalon & Schoenfeld.

Other sponsors included Liz Bentley Associates, National Grid Ventures, NHG Law Group, Jewish Community Relations Council of Long Island, and Jaspan Schlesinger Narendran LLP, Nassau Community College and Disney.

NEWS BRIEFS Glen Cove Hospital has recently unveiled a cuttingedge addition to its medical arsenal — a state-of-the-art MRI scanner, made possible through the generous donation of the Colgate family, led by John and Diana Colgate, and their dedicated network of friends and family.

This transformative contribution underscores their deep commitment to advancing healthcare in the community.

The Colgate family’s philanthropic gesture has not only funded the acquisition of the MRI scanner but also facilitated the hospital’s endeavor to provide world-class healthcare services.

The MRI scanner is a 1.5T wide bore model, boasting advanced features aimed at revolutionizing diagnostic capabilities. Designed with patient comfort in mind, this scanner accommodates individuals of varying sizes, thereby reducing the sensation of claustrophobia often experienced during traditional MRI scans. Additionally, its cutting-edge technology ensures high-quality imaging, enabling accurate diagnoses and tailored treatment plans.

Beyond its technical specifications, the MRI scanner represents a pivotal milestone in the hospital’s journey towards establishing Centers of Excellence and Destination programs. This investment in healthcare infrastructure not only enhances patient care but also positions Glen Cove Hospital as a hub for medical innovation and excellence in the region.

Furthermore, the convenience of having an in-house MRI machine eliminates logistical hurdles for patients, who no longer need to travel to external facilities for testing. This streamlines the diagnostic process, ensuring timely interventions and personalized care plans

MRI machine at Glen Cove Hospital, reduces claustrophobia

Oyster Bay to experience the ‘revolution’

By WILL SHEELINE wsheeline@liherald.com

Prepare to be transported back to the psychedelic era of the 1960s as the Bahr Gallery presents its latest exhibition, “Revolution Evolution,” opening its doors to the public on April 5. This immersive journey through time promises to be a mind-bending experience for art enthusiasts and nostalgia-seekers alike.

Curated by Ted Bahr, the gallery’s owner, “Revolution Evolution” offers a deep dive into the evolution of the psychedelic poster from early 1966 to the middle of 1967. Bahr, who meticulously selects each piece for display, described the exhibition as a “strict chronological, evolutionary showcase,” showcasing the groundbreaking work of pioneering artists such as Wes Wilson, Stanley Mouse, Alton Kelley, and Victor Moscoso.

“What makes this exhibition truly unique is its focus on the genesis of the psychedelic poster movement,” Bahr explained. “We’re highlighting the work of these visionary artists who revolutionized poster design, transforming mundane advertisements into vibrant, countercultural artifacts.”

The psychedelic poster, characterized by its illegible lettering, random image appropriation, and bold, clashing colors, served as more than just promotional material for rock concerts. It was a visual manifestation of the burgeoning hippie

counterculture, drawing inspiration from a kaleidoscope of influences, including Easter n spirituality, Western mythology, and the mind-altering effects of drugs like LSD. “Instead of being easy to read and easy to understand what the poster is advertising, the psychedelic style goes as far toward illegibility as it can,” Bahr remarked.

“In this way it engages the viewer, it indicates to the viewer that if you can understand this then you are part of the tribe and you will find something special here.”

The exhibition, which feaPhotos courtesy Bahr Gallery tures over 40 rare and iconic posters, invites viewers to The Bahr Gallery’s newest exhibition, ‘Revolution immerse themselves in the Evolution,’ will focus on the evolution of ‘Revolution Evolution’ will feature the works of sights and sounds of a psychedelic poster art from early 1966 to pioneering artists like Wes Wilson, Stanley bygone era.

Go all out

The South Shore Symphony Orchestra welcomes spring as it continues director Adam Glaser’s inaugural season. The orchestra is joined by the Adea Horn Quartet, composed of Alyssa Cherson, David Stevens, Erik Beuttenmuller and Anthony Hayes. The evening’s fascinating repertoire includes Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances, Op. 45, the most substantial work in the program.

One of his most beloved works, it’s known for lush melodies and rich harmonies combined with dance rhythms, a sprinkle of jazz, and modern harmonic twists. Also of note, he wrote it on Long Island, in Huntington. The program also includes Lili Boulanger’s D’un Matin de Printemps, a brilliant work with hints of Maurice Ravel and Claude Debussy, and Robert Schumann’s Concertpiece for 4 Horns, Op. 86.

Saturday, April 6, 7:30 p.m.

Madison Theatre, Molloy University, 1000 Hempstead Ave., Rockville Centre. Tickets available at MadisonTheatreNY.org or (516) 323-4444.

By Karen Bloom s we eagerly welcome spring — and Earth Month — the moment has arrived to think about how you want your yard to serve your family, pets and wildlife.

Maybe you’re aiming to have the best yard on the block, want to install an outdoor “family room,” or expand your space for entertaining. Perhaps your kids or pets could use a better play space.

Spring and backyarding — the act of doing indoor activities such as dining, working, entertaining, even exercising, in our own backyards — surely go hand in hand.

“Knowing your backyarding personality type can help you be better prepared to craft a yard that is not only beautiful, but is also purposeful and specifically suited to how you backyard,” says Kris Kiser, president of the TurfMutt Foundation, which advocates for the care and use of green space.

The TurfMutt Foundation celebrates 15 years in 2024 teaching families how to save the planet one yard at a time.

“There really are no rules. Create an outdoor area that reflects your unique personality and style while supporting the things you like to do in your green space,” Kiser says. “Your yard isn’t just for aesthetics.

It’s purposeful and contributes to our and the planet’s well-being. We encourage you to design your space that shows off your sense of style and supports what is important to your family.”

For most of us, that means filling our home environment with flowers.

Plant summer bulbs and you’ll enjoy extra flowers in your garden next summer for months on end. Pick a nice spring day and turn planting into a fun outdoor activity — and get everyone involved.

Starting in early spring and all through summer, flower bulbs give you that lovely spring feeling. Even if March and April are often still cold and bleak, the first brave bulbs already start flowering. Imagine how fun it will be to cut some flowers from your own garden to put in a vase. In this way, you can enjoy spring inside as well.

Once the danger of night frost has passed, it is time to plant summer bulbs. If you don’t have enough garden space, no worries. Summer bulbs thrive planted in pots as well. With so many varieties available, you can you create the most colorful displays. You can enjoy these eye-catchers on your deck, patio or terrace for months.

Exuberant effect

All summer bulbs are suitable for planting in pots, by the way, They come in all kinds of shapes and colors. Five of the best-known include dahlia, Begonia, gladiolus, Calla and lily. They all have their own charm,

so it all depends on what you like. Low-growing summer bulbs are particularly suitable for pots, such as dahlias up to about 20 inches tall and tuberous begonias.

For an extra exuberant effect, mix several varieties of summer bulbs together. It is a smart choice if you want to extend the flowering period.

Some flowers, such as dahlias and begonias, will actually continue to flower until the first frost.

Well-known or lesser known

Once the threat of night frost has passed, it is time to get started with summer bulbs.

The planting period runs until late May. You can choose popular dahlias, gladioli (Gladiolus), lilies (Lilium) or tuberous begonias. You could also go for lesser-known varieties, such as Crocosmia (previously known as Montbretia), variegated pineapple lily (Eucomis), Tigridia or Liatris.

Have you picked the perfect spot yet? Most summer bulbs need at least six hours of daily sun for rich flowering. So, check the packaging to see if your chosen bulbs prefer sun or (semi-)shade. Their demands on the soil are modest — it just needs to be sufficiently permeable to water.

Perfect match

Lower-growing varieties are best planted at the front of the border.

Taller-growing ones thrive in a sheltered spot, against a wall or near a shrub, for example.

Group similar color hues together, or indeed, choose contrasting colors. Crocosmia, Dahlia and Liatris make a good team, as do lilies with gladioli and Canna lilies.

Summer bulbs are also a perfect match with perennials and shrubs.

Easy planting

Plant bulbs twice as deep as they are tall. Exceptions to this rule are dahlias and begonias, which should be planted less deep (with a few inches of soil above them).

Place bulbs in the soil with the growing point (“nose”) facing up. For begonias, the concave side is the top. Don’t worry if you’re not sure — once they sprout, they will grow upward on their own.

Fill the hole with soil and tamp it down lightly — water your bulbs.

In a pot, you can plant them a little closer together. Make sure there are holes in the bottom of the pot to allow excess water to drain away.

Put some shards or clay pellets at the bottom of the pot with potting soil on top. Next, follow the steps above. The bulbs will grow out on their own. They need watering only during long periods of drought.

Just a little more patience before you can enjoy the colorful results.

The Wallflowers

‘Listen to the Music’

Grab your leather jackets, and get ready to rock! The Wallflowers have hit the road and bringing their epic sound to the Paramount stage, Thursday, April 17, at 8 p.m. The line-up consists of Steve Mackey on bass, Stanton Adcock on lead guitar, Lynn Williams on drums, and founder Jakob Dylan on lead vocals and guitar. Expect to hear fan favorites, including the Billboard 100 charter “Sleepwalker.” Formed in 1989 by Dylan and guitarist Tobi Miller, over the last two decades the band has seen many changes. 1992 saw the release of their debut album, followed in 1994 by their best-known and highest-selling album, Bringing Down The Horse, which featured Grammy award-winning track ‘One Headlight’. The Wallflowers went on to release three more albums before going on a hiatus. 2012 was the year the band reunited and released their sixth album “Glad All Over.” Nearly a decade later, The Wallflowers released their seventh album, “Exit Wounds,” which hit number three on the Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart — making it the highest charting album for the band yet! For the past 30 years, this Dylan-led act has stood as one of rock’s most dynamic and purposeful bands — a unit dedicated to and continually honing a sound that meshes timeless songwriting and storytelling with a hard-hitting and decidedly modern musical attack. That signature style has been present through the decades, baked into the grooves of smash hits like 1996’s “Bringing Down the Horse” as well as more recent and exploratory fare like “Glad All Over.”

While it’s been nine long years since we’ve heard from the group with whom he first made his mark, The Wallflowers are silent no more. And Jakob Dylan always knew they’d return, claiming The Wallflowers is much of his life’s work. $75, $45, $35, $25. The Paramount, 370 New York Ave., Huntington. Tickets available at Ticketmaster.com or ParamountNY.com.

Nassau County Museum of Art’s latest exhibition, “Urban Art Evolution,” is a comprehensive exhibit featuring a diverse range of compositions from the 1980s through the present by creators who were based in the rough and tumble downtown area of New York City known as Loisaida/LES (Lower East Side/East Village) and close surrounding neighborhoods.

Artists pushed the boundaries of what was considered “art” with a primary focus on street/graffiti art.

The exhibit’s scope, guest curated by art collector/gallerist Christopher Pusey, offers an even broader view from other creative residents, who worked inside their studios but still contributed to the rich fabric of the downtown art scene from different vantage points and aesthetics.

Works include sculpture, paintings, photography, music, and ephemera from many noted and influential artists. On view through July 7. Nassau County Museum of Art, 1 Museum Dr., Roslyn Harbor. (516) 484-9337 or NassauMuseum.org.

Caption: Several mayors met with Congressman Tom Suozzi who filled them in on the latest news from Washington.

Suozzi meets with local mayors Last week, Congressman Tom Suozzi met with more than 30 mayors from across New York’s 3rd Congressional District to give them an update on the latest news from our nation’s capital and to listen to their concer ns and issues. Suozzi praised the work of the mayors and their trustees.

“Congress should take a lesson from your bipartisan work, your commitment to your residents and your abilities to get things done that matter most to the people of your villages,” Suozzi said.

Suozzi, a former mayor of Glen Cove, knows the workings of local village government. He served as mayor for four terms and values the doctrine of Home Rule, understands the importance of zoning and land-use planning, and the scope and reach of village codes.

School tax levy due in Town of Oyster Bay Town of Oyster Bay residents are reminded that the second half of the 2023-2024 School Tax Levy is due on April 1, but can be paid without penalty through May 10th.

“New York State Law allows my office to provide taxpayers with a 40-day penalty free period from the date the tax is due during which payment may be made without penalty,” Jeffrey Pravato, the town’s receiver of taxes, explained.

“After the 40 days, State Law requires a one percent penalty be added for each month the tax remains unpaid. So, make your payment before May 10 and don’t delay, and you will ensure you aren’t paying more out of pocket than you need to.”

The Tax Office is open in both Town Hall North, 74 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay, and Town Hall South, 977 Hicksville Road, Massapequa, from 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. to assist residents and accept payments with a check, cash or credit card.

On May 9 and 10 both offices will be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. When paying in person, residents are reminded to bring the

entire tax bill. There are also outdoor walkup windows, and drop boxes have been installed at both locations for residents to make payments when the Tax Office is closed.

Residents who prefer to mail in their payments, should send them to the Office of the Receiver of Taxes, 74 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay, N.Y. 11771-1539. Make your check payable to Jeffrey P. Pravato, Receiver of Taxes and indicate your property’s Section, Block and Lot and telephone number on the check.

Tax payments may also be made online through a link on the town website, OysterBayTown.com.

OPINIONS

A

ll I had to do was pick up a package that had been left at the wrong door.

I knocked. My neighbor let me in. Nothing felt out of the ordinary.

But then it happened. It was like raindrops hitting a tin roof, but it wasn’t raining, and we weren’t under a tin roof.

I followed the sound, and set my sights on something that hasn’t been in front of my eyes for at least a couple decades. It was a typewriter. An electric one, to be exact. An Olympia MICHAEL Compact S — one of the last typeHINMAN writer models offered by a storied German manufacturer that lost the battle with computers and word processors.

Finding a typewriter nowadays requires a trip to a museum. But there are still many out in circulation — you just have to know where to look.

So it wasn’t necessarily the typewriter that surprised me, but who was using it:

F

my neighbor’s teenaged daughter.

“Oh, don’t mind her,” my neighbor said. “She’s always on that typewriter.”

“But … but, why?” I asked.

“The sounds it makes are relaxing.

And it reminds her of her grandfather.”

The young woman was composing a poem using paper from the printer. The ink of each letter was quite uneven, showing not only the antiquity of the machine in front of her, but also how spoiled we’ve become with laser printers and high-resolution screens.

I thought my neighbor’s daughter was unique in this love for typewriters, but apparently that’s not the case. Young people — especially in the so-called Gen Z — are rediscovering a number of relics from the past like typewriters, enjoying their simplicity, with maybe even a hint of nostalgia for a previous life, perhaps.

Exploring this new fondness for typewriters online has helped me discover some interesting feedback. There are no ads or messages popping up on the paper while you type, meaning you can focus on

F

what you’re creating. It also creates a sense of permanence a computer or smartphone can’t. And it can’t be hacked.

Typewriters, of course, aren’t the only things making a comeback. Vinyl records and Polaroid cameras have already made returns. So have flip phones. And, believe it or not, even pocket pagers.

All of these treasures should have been lost to time, but they weren’t. Yes, they had been replaced by something better and faster — but all of these artifacts were more than just tools.

They helped define us in some way.

And that gives me real hope for other aspects of society that some might try to write off, like something near and dear to my own heart: newspapers. A few weeks back, a popular social media content creator named Kelsey Russell visited our newsroom. She has made a name for herself on TikTok by championing newspapers to her generation.

Can you pull up news on your phone or computer? Sure. But once you swipe it away, it’s gone. Newspapers, however,

ixated on our devices, we’ll find ourselves longing for time away from all that.

can’t be swiped away. And they won’t be.

As we become more and more fixated on our electronic devices, we’re going to find ourselves longing for time away from all that. Without the distractions. Without the noise created by the intrusion of others. Without the glowing screen.

Books. Cameras using actual photographic paper. Phones that don’t do much more than call someone. Typewriters.

And, yes, newspapers.

All of these will maintain places in our society, and that’s good. But please don’t call them antique. Many of us have indeed made many trips around the sun, but we don’t need the reminder.

And finally, you might think finding my young neighbor clickety-clacking away on a typewriter might inspire me to write these words on something similar.

It certainly would be poetic in its own right.

But my MacBook Air is doing perfectly fine. I already lived through the times when typewriters were a necessary tool, not a novelty. Give me another decade or two before I’m ready to relive that, thank you very much.

Before Long Island, we were ‘t Lange Eylandt

or an area with as much history as Long Island, many of us tend to focus on the big events and names.

The Roosevelts. Washington’s spy ring.

Billy Joel.

But an important — if overlooked — part of our history is the early Dutch settlement of the area.

Beneath Long Island’s modern landscape — with its bustling cities, quaint towns and scenic shores — lies a rich tapestry of history woven by the earliest European settlers. To comprehend the essence of Long Island — and, in many ways, all of New York today — WILL we must underSHEELINE stand its past, tracing back to the pivotal era of Dutch colonial settlement.

The roots of much Long Island’s identity — its culture, its governance, and even its place names — find their origins in the footsteps of Dutch explorers and settlers who arrived on its shores in the early 17th century.

The Dutch East India Company commissioned Henry Hudson to explore the uncharted waters of the New World in 1609. Hudson’s voyage led him to the shores of Long Island, where he navigated the waters of what is now known as

the Hudson River.

This encounter marked the dawn of Dutch interest in the region, culminating in the establishment of New Amsterdam on Manhattan Island.

However, it was not until the 1630s that the Dutch began to establish footholds on Long Island itself, with individual families acquiring land and laying the groundwork for settlements such as Southold and Southampton.

The significance of these early Dutch settlements cannot be overstated. They served as the foundation upon which Long Island’s communities were built, shaping its social, economic, and political landscape for centuries to come.

The Dutch settlers brought with them not only their language and customs, but also their expertise in agriculture, commerce and governance. Through their toil and perseverance, they transformed the untamed wilderness into thriving villages and towns, leaving an indelible mark on the island’s character.

It was also thanks to the Dutch that the first Jewish people arrived in what would become New York. Solomon Pietersen and Jacob Barsimson were the first Dutch Jews to come to America in 1654, followed later that year by 23 Jewish refugees fleeing Portuguese persecution in Brazil.

These early settlers were the nucleus of what became New York state’s Jewish

T

population, which now numbers more than 2 million.

The Dutch presence on Long Island was not without its challenges. The region became a contested territory, with rival claims from both Dutch and English authorities, as well as conflicts with Indigenous tribes.

The struggle for dominance played out in conflicts and negotiations, shaping the boundaries and allegiances of the burgeoning colonies, which still determine the borders between Nassau and Suffolk counties to this day.

Yet, despite these tensions, the Dutch settlers persevered, carving out a distinct identity for themselves within the diverse tapestry of early American society which lasted into the 1800s.

The legacy of the Dutch settlement on Long Island is evident in its place names, its architecture, and its cultural heritage.

From the quaint villages of Astoria and Ravenswood, to the bustling streets of Queens Bridge Plaza, traces of Dutch influence are woven into the fabric of everyday life.

Long Island itself was named by the Dutch, who were the first to refer to the landmass as ‘t Lange Eylandt.

Nassau County was named after the royal house of Nassau — also known as the House of Orange — which continues to rule the Netherlands to this day.

he story of the Dutch settlers is one of courage, perseverance, collaboration.

Many of Long Island and New York’s prominent early families trace their genealogy to the early Dutch settlers of New Amsterdam and ‘t Lange Eylandt. The Roosevelts — originally spelled Rosenvelt — came to New Amsterdam between 1638 and 1649, and would build their fortune through their properties across Long Island and in upstate New York, while the Vanderbilts came to the area in 1650.

To truly understand Long Island’s past and present, it is essential to explore the rich history of its Dutch settlers. Their story is not just a chapter in the annals of American history, but a living testament to the enduring legacy of exploration, settlement and adaptation.

As we reflect on the journey of those early pioneers, we gain insight into the forces that have shaped Long Island into the vibrant and dynamic region it is today.

In commemorating the legacy of the Dutch settlement, we honor the resilience and ingenuity of those who laid the foundation for our communities. While not perfect people by any means, theirs is a story of courage, perseverance and collaboration, reminding us of the enduring power of diversity and cooperation in shaping the course of history.

As we look to the future, we need to draw inspiration from the past, embracing the spirit of discovery and exploration that defines the legacy of the Dutch settlement on Long Island.

Don’t wait for Earth Day to care about Earth

E

arth Day is April 22, just two and a half weeks away.

It’s a day that’s been around since 1970, yet it seems the condition of our planet since then has gotten worse rather than better.

Climate change has caused global temperatures to rise, resulting in more severe storms, wildfires and megadroughts. Places that are typically cold are becoming warmer, and places that are usually warm are becoming hotter.

What can regular people like us do to turn back the rising tide of global climate change? Becoming better caretakers of whatever small patch of the world we inhabit is a start.

Earth Day is just one day, but its significance should carry over into every day. And it’s all about sustainability and stewardship — which requires daily commitment, vigilance and action.

We can start by remembering the three R’s — reduce, reuse and recycle.

That means buying products with minimal packaging, reusing items like bags to carry our groceries, and recycling everything from paper and plastic to glass and metal.

We can reduce energy consumption by turning off lights and appliances when we’re not using them, and when we are, ensuring that they’re energyefficient. We can conserve water by fixing leaks, taking shorter showers, and

LETTERS Unaffiliated voters deserve more say in who runs To the Editor: Last week’s article about unaffiliated voters, “Will ‘blanks’ decide election outcomes?” should be a wake-up call to the American electorate. The voters who are not affiliated with either major party are now a majority voting bloc nationwide, a larger group than those registered in either major party. However, that large group has been disenfranchised in elections, because Democrats and Republicans still control who we will be permitted to vote for.

Recent polls show that 60 to 70 percent of voters don’t want to see a rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump; nearly half of Republicans (a minority voting bloc) don’t want Trump, and more than half of Democrats (another minority bloc) don’t want Biden. This seems to be the real threat to democracy: We’re stuck with candidates selected by a fringe minority in each party.

The solution is obvious. When a significant percentage of voters consider themselves “independent” thinkers — that is, not card-

watering our lawns only in the early morning or the evening to reduce evaporation.

And, of course, we can find more efficient ways to get around. Do we continue using the same old practice of fueling vehicles with fossil fuels, or do we dive into diverse technologies? And do we really need to take a car when we can hop on a bus or train, or even ride a bike or walk?

It’s hard to believe we can make a difference on our own, but we can. Especially if we aren’t alone in making conservation a way of life. And we can make an even bigger difference by backing more environmentally friendly ways to produce energy, like wind turbines — whether on land or out in the ocean.

One example is the South Fork Wind project, some 35 miles off Montauk, which is expected to generate about 130 megawatts of renewable energy — enough to power an estimated 70,000 Long Island homes. Officials believe that it could eliminate up to 6 million tons of carbon emissions over the 25-year life of the project — the equivalent of taking 60,000 cars off the road.

It’s a start. But we have a ways to go to get all of the homes on Long Island — more than 1 million of them — powered this way.

To continue the march to a cleaner, greener planet, we need individual and

collective efforts on the local, national and global levels to continue expanding.

If they don’t, we could see significant ocean rise in our lifetimes — literally bringing the sea into our backyards as early as the 2040s. The planet is getting warmer, polar ice is melting, and all that water has to go somewhere.

Since the first Earth Day 54 years ago, millions of people in nearly 200 countries have taken part in activities whose aim is to enhance the planet’s environment. The annual event has helped push legislation in many countries — including the United States — intended to reduce the human race’s collective carbon footprint, and help us find ways to live more sustainable lives.

But the work is far from finished. Our schools need to teach environmental literacy. The media — from newspapers and television to the hottest social media platforms — must circulate necessary, accurate information.

In April, as trees bud, flowers sprout and temperatures warm, it’s time to get outside and enjoy the greenery and sunshine. But as we take a hike or pedal along our local bike paths, or walk along our waterways or the shore, our thoughts should turn to advocacy and activism on behalf of the planet we inhabit. Because we shouldn’t fight to protect the Earth just on Earth Day, but every day.

OPINIONS

ou may not realize it, but committing adultery is illegal in New York state. I believe the state has no business regulating consensual sexual behavior between adults, which is why I introduced a bill in the Assembly (A.4714) to repeal and decriminalize adultery.

After passing unanimously through the Codes Committee, the bill passed in the full chamber by a vote of 13710, and is now in the hands of the State Senate.

Adultery is generally defined as sexual relations between CHARLES someone who is married and a LAVINE third party who is not his or her spouse. A letter to the editor of The New York Times published on Aug. 23, 1907, stated that a new law would be going into effect that made adultery a criminal misdemeanor. The penalty was 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $500, or both. The original intent of the law seems to have been to prevent collusive divorces, in which a

husband and wife conspire to present a false narrative to the court in order to be granted a divorce.

In the 1960s came the realization that adultery is basically a private matter, and should not be aired in court, nor should any marriage be held to the public morals of the times. Both the American Law Institute and the New York State Temporary Commission on Revision of the Penal Law and Criminal Code published recommendations that adultery be decriminalized.

History has shown that criminalizing adultery does not serve as a deterrent, as the law was originally intended, nor does it aid in the rehabilitation of marriages that have been broken by an adulterous spouse.

Criminalized adultery has even been used as blackmail by one spouse against another.

In a Los Angeles Times op-ed, Deborah L. Rhode, a law professor at Stanford and the author of “Adultery: Infidelity and the Law,” wrote, “There is no evidence that a decline in legal sanctions would result in an increase in

N

adultery.” Rhode noted that the rate of infidelity in the United States has actually decreased since the first studies were conducted in the 1950s, and that “legal prohibitions persist largely for symbolic reasons.” While most Americans condemn adultery in theory, she said, they do not think it should be a crime.

As Rhode puts it so well, “The law needs to catch up. There are, to be sure, strong reasons to disapprove of adultery. It can have devastating consequences for spouses and children. But the steady recurrence of infidelity suggests the ineffectiveness of trying to use legal sanctions and workplace penalties to prevent infidelity. Legislatures should repeal criminal prohibitions and alienation-of-affection statutes, and where legislatures decline to act, courts should strike down adultery penalties as an infringement of constitutionally protected rights of privacy. There are better ways to signal respect for marriage, and better uses of resources than policing private consensual sexual activity.”

ew York is one of 20 states with laws still on the books that make it a crime.

LETTERS carrying members of either the red or blue cult — and that voting bloc is larger than the number of registered voters in either of the two parties, then control of our elections by those parties should end. The primary system of candidate selection should be opened to unaffiliated voters, as it is in Arkansas, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Rhode Island. They should be permitted to choose a primary to vote in (but not both) so that a voting bloc that is larger than an individual party can have a say in which candidates are selected for the general election.

The two major parties are currently controlled by their loud extremist wings, the far left and far right, which don’t represent the majority of Americans, and they have given the country a choice of two distasteful candidates. Too many far better, and more qualified, candidates were ignored and put aside in the run-up to the primaries. This wouldn’t be the case if we could all decide from among the many candidates who threw their hats in the ring.

The present electoral system, directed by the Democrats and Republicans who have strayed from middle-American values, seems much like the old Soviet-style elections, the only difference being that if we refuse to cast a vote for one or the other of the two worst candidates imaginable, we won’t be transported to the gulag — at least not this year. While it is said that we always get the democracy we deserve, no one deserves the choices that we’re being given in 2024.

DAVE NIERI Glen Cove

Today, New York is one of 20 states with laws still on the books criminalizing adultery. Since 1972, only 13 people have been charged with the crime. Of those, only five were convicted. And in virtually every one of those cases, some other crime was committed, and the prosecuting attorney added adultery.

Despite strong opposition in at least two states that repealed prohibitions on marital infidelity in the recent past (Connecticut and New Hampshire), there is no evidence to suggest that doing so has had the corrosive consequences that opponents had predicted.

In addition to its unenforceability and generally archaic nature, legislation on adultery also stigmatizes and victimizes women, because most of those charged are women. In fact, in some states, the law only applies to a married woman.

There are plenty of laws whose purpose is to protect the community, but some embody nothing more than someone’s idea of moral outrage. The targeted statute belongs in the latter category.

If a law isn’t enforced, there’s no reason that it should be maintained.

Charles Lavine represents the 13th Assembly District.
