County museum unveils Piano, ukelele music three new statues over holiday weekend BY A M E L I A C A M U R AT I The Nassau County Museum of Art in East Hills is known for its gallery space inside the Arnold and Joan Saltzman Fine Art Building, but attention this month is all about the three newly installed sculptures in the outdoor gardens. The three site-speciﬁc works were loaned to the museum by internationally renowned sculptor Marko Remec. Remec, a conceptual sculptor in New York City, has showcased his work at Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, LongHouse Reserve, Chesterwood, Kunsthaus Zug, Museo de Arte de Ponce, Salem Art Works and the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art. “The public’s going nuts

over these fascinating and scintillating works,” Museum Director Charles Riley said. “We’ve had thousands of social media hits because they can’t stop photographing them in diﬀerent light, and it fascinates me day to day to see the dramatic changes as the sky shifts.” Just outside the museum door, the new 26-foottall “Would That I Wish For (Tall Totem)” sculpture explores the issues of safety and narcissism while drawing on the tradition of incorporating the faces of ancestors in a monumental totem. In the great lawn beside the mansion, “NYET,” a horizontal work with 16 convex dome mirrors, was hung against the tree line among the museum’s other outdoor sculptures. The title, Riley said, is an allusion to the govern-

The Nassau County Museum of Art recently installed three large sculptures by Marko Remec in the museum’s sculpture gardens.

ment surveillance and persecution of Dmitri Shostakovich and other artists. The work ﬁrst appeared at the Baker Mansion in Manhattan. The third statue and the ﬁrst seen upon entering the 145-acre property, “Vertebrate Progression (Field Totem)” is a pathway of more than 125 dome mirrors laid out across the hillside just beyond the Manes Family Art and Education Center. Riley said the title is an allusion to paleontology, a passion of Childs Frick, who lived in the mansion and kept his laboratory and library of specimens in what is now the Manes Center. Since Riley joined the museum in August, he said, he has been trying to reinvigorate the sculpture garden, which has had a few vacant cement slabs waiting for new sculptures, and more sculptures are expected to join the museum in the coming months. “Remec is just the thin edge of the wedge here,” Riley said. “We have had visits by other internationally famous sculptors, notably Arthur Carter and Hans Van de Bovenkamp, who will be bringing their work to our grounds long term, and we are also installing sculptures by Deborah Kass and Fletcher Benton in conjunction with our upcoming color show, which opens in late July. “Stay tuned — we’re only just started.”

Marko Remec’s “Vertebrate Progression (Field Totem)” was recently installed near the Manes Family Art and Education Center at the Nassau County Museum of Art.

Johnny Herbert is a singer and songwriter who performs original songs on both piano and ukulele. His 2010 album, “Destroys the Moon,” combines piano-pop and jazz inspired by artists as

diverse as Ray Charles, Ben Folds, Andrew WK and even the Mario Kart soundtrack. More recently, Herbert has borrowed from traditional Hawaiian music for new songs like “I

Knew From The Start” and “Makes Me Want To Sing.” He has also performed on piano with the Women Of Ireland for their 2016 US tour. Herbert will perform as part of the May Music at Coe Hall series at Planting Fields Arboretum over the Memorial Day weekend on Sunday, May 27 from 1 to 3 p.m. No tickets are necessary. General admission is $5; members and children are free. Planting Fields Arboretum is located at 1395 Planting Fields Road in Oyster Bay. For more information about this and other events, visit www. plantingﬁelds.org.

Maddock to perform in Centerport June 2 James Maddock will be the next featured artist during the Folk Music Society of Huntington’s monthly First Saturday Concerts’ series on Saturday, June 2. The 8:30 p.m. concert at the Congregational Church of Huntington, located at 30 Washington Drive in Centerport, will be preceded by an open mic at 7:30 p.m. Since 1999, Maddock’s boldly vulnerable songwriting, honeyed rasp, and distinct folk and Americana aesthetic have garnered acclaim from icons, peers, and taste-making media outlets like NPR, American Songwriter magazine, Relix magazine, and CMT Edge. “James Maddock possesses the kind of lived-in, craggy voice that would sound authoritative if he were singing the sports pages,” said Relix. “Fortunately, he doesn’t need to do that because his compositional skills are a match for his delivery.” Maddock’s consistency as a record-

ing artist and a captivating live performer has attracted a devoted fan-base. A noted singer, songwriter, and guitarist, Maddock first gained attention with the band Wood, whose debut recording, “Songs from Stamford Hill,” was featured prominently on the TV show “Dawson’s Creek.” After fronting the band, he moved from England to New York City 15 years ago. His 2009 release “Sunrise on Avenue C” won a New York Music Award for Best Americana Album, while its follow-up, “Wake Up And Dream,” ranked among the top albums of 2011 in WFUV Radio’s Listener Poll. Maddock has earned the respect of masterful songwriters, including Bruce Springsteen and Willie Nile, with whom he’s also performed. He has been a guest on national TV shows, an artist-in-residence at Rockwood Music Hall, the Manhattan club at which he also recorded a live album, and had a coveted official showcase at this year’s Folk Alliance International Conference in Kansas City. “We look forward to having James grace our stage for a second time — after previously wowing a large FMSH audience in 2013,” says Michael Kornfeld, president of the nonprofit organization’s board of directors and the evening’s emcee. Tickets, priced at $30 ($25 for FMSH members), may be purchased in advance online at www.fmsh.org, using a credit card, or at the door (cash and checks only).

THE CULINARY ARCHITECT

Glorious carrot hotdog for summer Do you ever feel like eating a hot dog, but do not want to eat meat or consume all those nitrites? Enter The Carrot Hot Dog. Everyone has a bag of carrots in their refrigerator, so making these hot dogs is an easy go-to meal on a busy weekday night, or when you have absolutely nothing to eat inhouse. You may also add these to your barbecue line-up to accommodate vegetarians. The whole trick to making these carrot hot dogs is to marinate them. When creating this recipe, I kept a plastic container of carrots marinating in the refrigerator for up to three days, so that I could experiment with the grilling and the toppings. Speaking of grilling, I successfully used a George Foreman Grill, a traditional charcoal barbecue and one night when it was cold and rainy, I used a paillard pan. All resulted in a delicious “dog.” The toppings also jazz up the ﬂavor and presentation. Set out a few or all of the suggested toppings and your guests may help themselves, and make their carrot dogs “their way.” Round out your meal with homemade baked beans, which are very easy to make in a slow cooker and oven baked fries and you have an easy to prepare vegetarian feast, and I bet your guests will not even miss those pesky nitrites.

MENU (Serves 8) Carrot Hot Dogs Slow Cooker Baked Beans Oven Baked Fries Carrot Hot Dogs 8 medium carrots (approximately 1 1/2 lbs. total) 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth 1/4 cup cider vinegar 3 tblsps. reducedsodium soy sauce 1 tblsp. Dijon mustard 1 tsp. garlic powder 1 tsp. smoked paprika BUNS & TOPPINGS 8 hot dog buns, toasted TOPPINGS-Choose as many as you like 2 tsp. poppy seeds 8 dill pickle spears or cornichons 2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced 1/2 cup minced white onion red peppers or pepperoncini sweet relish mustard ketchup celery salt

Come Visit

To prepare carrots: (Do this at least one day ahead and up to 3 days) 1. Bring 2 inches of water to a boil in a large pot, ﬁtted with a steamer basket. Add carrots, cover and steam until barely tender, 12 to 15 minutes. 2. Combine broth, vinegar, soy sauce, mustard, garlic powder ALEXANDRA TROY and paprika in asealable The Culinary Architect plastic container Add the carrots and refrigerate, keeping the carrots in a single layer, for at least 1 day, turning at least twice. 1. Preheat grill to high or heat a grill pan over high heat. 2. Remove the carrots from the marinade (discard the marinade). Grill the carrots, turning once or twice, until they are hot and have grill marks on all sides, about 5 minutes total. To prepare buns and serve: 3. Lightly toast the buns on the inside, about 1 minute. Serve the carrots, in the buns, and let your guests choose their toppings. Personally, I like mine “Fancy Chicago Style”, the “dog” with cornichons, sliced tomatoes, relish, deli mustard, and ketchup.

Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach

PHOTOS BY KAREN RUBIN

Bethpage Federal Credit Union, New York State’s largest credit union, and the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation will present the 15th Annual Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach. Taking place Memorial Day Weekend, Saturday, May 26 and Sunday, May 27, the show will return to a 10 a.m. start time and conclude at 3 p.m. Two jet teams will perform at this year’s event, including show headliners, the legendary United States Navy Blue Angels, returning to the Bethpage Air Show for their eighth performance during their 72nd anniversary season. The U.S. Navy Blue Angles will give the final performance of the show at approximately 2 p.m. The Royal Canadian Air Force Snowbirds, who last performed at the show in 2016, will be making their fourth performance at the Bethpage Air Show, where they will perform more than 50 different formations and maneuvers for fans. The F-22 Raptor, the United States Air Force’s newest fighter aircraft, which performs both air-to-air and airto-ground missions, will also make an appearance at the 15th anniversary show. The F-22 was designed to project air dominance, rapidly and at great distances, and defeat threats attempting to deny access to our nation’s Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps.

2018 MEMORIAL DAY EVENTS AROUND TOWN

Manhasset observes Memorial Day BY A M E L I A C A M U R AT I A new tradition is being added to the Manhasset Memorial Day observance this year. The Village of Munsey Park will host host a ceremony beginning at 9 a.m. at Waldmann Park on Park Avenue in honor of George Raymond Waldmann, the first village resident to be killed in the armed forces. Proposed by new Munsey Park resident Greg LiCalzi, the event is scheduled for about half an hour, giving attendees time to get to the American Legion Post 304 parade route by its 10 a.m. start. Waldmann was born in Manhasset on Jan. 3, 1920, and was raised in Munsey Park. He graduated from Manhasset High School in 1937, where the yearbook described him as “one of the school’s most popular students.” He graduated from Yale University four years later. He joined the Navy soon after and was killed in 1943 during a practice flying mission. “We’re going to honor George in a way he probably hasn’t been honored since 1946, when this park was named after him,” LiCalzi said. The parade, which parade chairman and Vice Commander James T. Brooks said has been held since World War II, will potentially feature five floats build by longtime Manhasset resident Brian Kenny.

The Manhasset-Lakeville Fire Department Companies Nos. 1 and 2 will have a float in the annual Manhasset Memorial Day Parade hosted by American Legion Post 304. A former firefighter, Kenny said 50 members from the Long Island Harmonizers choir group will sing on one float while two other floats are dedicated to the 82 Manhasset residents who have died in battle since the Civil War, with a cross for each soldier, and a war memorial float dedicated to late Army Ranger Sgt. James Regan of Flower Hill, who was killed in the line of duty in northern Iraq in February 2007 after four tours, two in Iraq and two in Afghanistan, and was posthu-

mously awarded the Bronze Star medal, the Meritorious Service medal and the Purple Heart. In November, a portion of Port Washington Boulevard was renamed in honor of Regan. The Manhasset-Lakeville Fire Department Companies Nos. 1 and 2 will have a float in the parade as well as an American flag float, Kenny said, and the Plandome Fire Department will march in the parade. The parade begins at Plandome Court off Plandome Road

and ends at Mary Jane Davies Green. Post Commander Peter Killian will lead the parade alongside an escort from America’s Guardians Motorcycle Club. The parade will also feature the Inisfada Gaelic Pipe Band, the New York Police Department Pipe Band, the Manhasset High School marching band and the Nassau County Police Department Pipe and Drum band. Boy Scout Troop 97 and Troop 71 and Cub Scout Pack 3 and Pack 101 will also be in

Before the parade, Nassau County Legislature Presiding Oﬃcer Richard Nicolello will deliver the keynote speech at the services held at the American Legion at 9 a.m. After the parade, a memorial service will be held at the Fire Department.

2018 MEMORIAL DAY EVENTS AROUND TOWN

Port to honor soldiers’ sacrifice BY LU K E TOR R A N C E The days are getting longer and the weather is ﬁnally getting warmer, but summer does not begin until Memorial Day. Port Washington will once again hold a parade and event to mark the start of the season and to remember the reason for the holiday, the country’s veterans. The parade will begin at 10 a.m. on Monday at the intersection of Port Washington Boulevard and Campus Drive. After making their way down Main Street, the participants will end their march at the Town Dock. Douglas Weston, a parade organizer, said that veterans from every war since World War II will be taking part. “We have a few of them still around, and we have a lot of younger guys, too,” he said. Two veterans will serve as the grand marshals for the parade: Douglas Schlaefer Sr. and John Hellenschmidt. Schlaefer will represent VFW Post 1819. His family has a long history in Port Washington — his father was the

He enlisted in the U.S. Army in September 1953 at the age of 17. He served for two years and was sent to Busan, Korea, where he received several awards

including the Good Conduct Medal. He was honorably discharged in 1955. “It felt great [to be chosen],” Schlaefer said. Traveling with Schlaefer in the parade will be John Hellenschmidt, a member of American Legion Post 509 in Port Washington. Hellenschmidt served at the Air National Guard Base in Westhampton Beach, where he took part in missions such as in-flight refueling, flight interceptors, and air rescue and recovery. After serving in the National Guard, Hellenschmidt moved to Port Washington, where he became a real estate broker and raised his family. “It is a great honor to be selected as Post 509 Grand Marshal for the 2018 Memorial Day Parade,” he said in a statement. Members of Port Washington’s fire and police departments will take part in the parade, along with several community groups. The parade will be followed with a short ceremony at a bandshell on the Town Dock.

G.N. to host 94th Memorial Day parade BY JA N E LL E C L AUS E N For Louise McCann, the chair of the Great Neck Parade Committee, Memorial Day isn’t really about the celebrating – it’s about remembering veterans who have fought and died, all the way back to the Revolutionary War. “We do what we have to do to remember the day,” McCann, a member of the American Legion since 2006 and a war re-enactor, said in an interview. “It’s not about barbecues and sales at Lord & Taylor.” Monday will mark the 94th annual Great Neck Memorial Day Parade, which will once again feature military members and veterans from all service branches. It will also host a number of volunteers from local groups, as well as members of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy Regimental Band and the crew of the USS Zephyr, which is visiting Kings Point for Fleet Week New York. McCann said of the 31 units invited – a combination of the “same groups” and more religious organizations – 19 will be marching. But it’s not so much about how many march as how many people come to watch. “It’s not the amount of units,” McCann said. “It’s the people that come out to remember what Memorial Day stands for.”

Students at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point will once again march in this year’s annual Memorial Day parade in Great Neck. The parade and ceremonies are slated to begin at 9:30 a.m. on Monday. Veterans, volunteers and others will march down Middle Neck Road from Susquehanna Avenue to the Village Green.

At the Village Green, McCann said, the USMMA band will play, she and Grand Marshal Mort Zimmerman will deliver “blissfully short” remarks, and there will be a 21-gun salute before vet-

erans and firefighters walk to give a “final salute” to their fallen comrades. Zimmerman, 95, served in the only European civil affairs regiment during World War II. This took him through France, Belgium and Germany to manage towns taken by the Allied forces, take care of refugees and follow American troops, he said in a previous interview, meaning he had to help bring order to “sheer chaos.” “It was our responsibility to develop all of the necessary infrastructure that a city requires and of course we supervised it and made sure that it went in a straight line,” Zimmerman, who has resided in Great Neck for more than 50 years, said. McCann, who herself served in the U.S. Army for more than 25 years, said that among candidates to be the grand marshal, Zimmerman stood out. “It’s his service,” McCann explained. “We had several people nominated but his bio really, as we say, spoke to us, especially being in a civil affairs command and being forward deployed in a war zone.” There is reserved seating for U.S. military members and veterans at the Village Green for the ceremony.
