Two new art exhibits at Heckscher Collections of 20th century and contemporary works feature photography, paintings
T
he Heckscher Museum of Art will launch two new exhibits on Saturday, Nov. 17 that will be on display through May 12, 2019. The first, The Heckscher Collects: Recent Acquisitions, presents two dozen 20th-century and contemporary works that have been acquired by the museum over the past five years. Highlights include Red Grooms’ “Jackson in Action,” a lively three-dimensional print depicting the iconic abstract expressionist Jackson Pollock at work. A rich selection of prints produced by more traditional and diverse experimental processes features work by Stanley William Hayter, James Siena, Dan Welden, Esteban Vicente, Katja Oxman, April Gornik, and Robert Kipniss. Experimental photography by Bill Armstrong, Ellen
Carey, and Joe Constantino, New York City street scenes by N. Jay Jaffee, and images of Cuba by Bastienne Schmidt, present a range of photographic approaches, while abstract and representational paintings by Stan Brodsky, Paton Miller, Louise Sloane, Ty Stroudsburg, and Jane Wilson reveal the many directions within contemporary art on Long Island. The other exhibit is Rivera and Beyond: Latin American Art from the Joan and Milton Bagley Collection. Over four decades, Joan and Milton Bagley have amassed a collection of Latin American art that is notable for its range, depth, and the rich variety of artistic expression represented. Featuring 20th century and contemporary artists from across Central and South America, the collection is a vibrant dialogue between indigenous culture, mod-
ernist art, and contemporary social commentary. Masterworks by Fernando Botero, Elena Climent, Ana Mercedes Hoyos, Wifredo Lam, Julio Larraz, Roberto Matta, Carlos Mérida, Diego Rivera, Antonio Seguí, Franciso Zúñiga, and others reveal a deeply felt humanism, a sense of the poetic and mystical beneath the surface of everyday life, and an exploration of cultural and artistic identity. Rivera and Beyond is sponsored by Robin T. Hadley, Andrea B. and Peter D. Klein, and the Milton F. and Joan B. Bagley Foundation. For more information about these new exhibits, call 631-351-3250 or go to heckscher.org. The Heckscher Museum of Art is located at 2 Prime Ave. in Huntington.

Breuer sets record Struts to play The at The Paramount Paramount on Nov. 20 On Saturday, Nov.17 at 8 p.m., stand-up comedian, actor, musician, and radio host Jim Breuer will perform for the 20th time on The Paramount’s stage. That statistic gives Breuer the all-time record for the most sold-out shows performed by any artist at the venue since
opening in 2011. As “The Jim Breuer Residency: Comedy, Stories and More” rolls on, with four more shows onsale now through February 2019, Breuer has sold over 18,000 tickets at the venue to date. During “The Residency,” which launched
in February 2018, Breuer has amazed his fans with hilarious stories from his “Saturday Night Live” and “Half Baked” days, rants about the New York Mets, with a special show for the No. 7 subway line Army Fan Club in August, and ongoing live performances as he tours the country with Metallica and performs with Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden. “I knew after my first show at The Paramount, this place would be my home,” said Breuer. “I can’t wait to get back to Long Island, my family and my home, for my 20th show!” For more information and tickets to the performance, contact The Paramount at 631-673-7300 or visit paramountny.com. The Paramount is located at 370 New York Ave. in Huntington.
English rock band, The Struts, comprised of vocalist Luke Spiller, guitarist Adam Slack, bassist Jed Elliott, and drummer Gethin Davies, have an unapologetic, glam-meets-rock-and-roll sound, with influences like Queen, the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith and Def Leppard. Frontman Spiller has been described by the press as “a force of nature” and “a physical, mesmerizing entertainer… vocally strong, expressive and blessed with excellent range.”
Spiller’s looks and stage presence led Roger Goodgroves of Get to the Front to describe him as “the musical love child of Freddie Mercury and Mick Jagger.” In just a few years, The Struts have found themselves massively embraced by some of the greatest icons in rock-androll history. Along with opening for the Stones, The Who, and Guns N’ Roses, the band was hand-picked by Mötley Crüe to serve as the supporting act for their last-ever performances, while Dave Grohl praised them as the best band to ever open for the Foo Fighters. The band says: “We believe in giving our absolute all every night, because that’s what our fans deserve. The goal is always to get everyone dancing and screaming and shouting, and to make sure they leave dripping in sweat with huge smiles on their faces.” To experience this euphoria and The Struts live in concert, head to The Paramount on Tuesday, Nov. 20 at 8 p.m. You can buy tickets to the show by calling 800-745-3000 or going to www. paramountny.com. The Paramount is located at 370 New York Ave. in Huntington.

Ex astronaut a star at Air & Space gala Over 500 museum supporters and attendees came out to celebrate this year’s award recipients at the 16th Annual Air & Space Gala at the Cradle of Aviation Museum on Wednesday, Nov. 7. Apollo 7 astronaut Walter Cunningham received the Spirit of Discovery Award; East/ West Industries President Teresa Ferraro received the Leroy R. Grumman Award; and CEO and managing partner of MCR Development, Tyler Morse, received the Aviation Leadership Award. As part of the year’s 50th Anniversary Countdown to Apollo Celebration, inspiration was the theme of the evening. Cunningham was moved by the evening’s honorary bagpipe ceremony performed by the Nassau County Police Emerald Society Pipe Band. He said, “I cannot listen to that at my age without getting tears in my eyes. Thank you. Actually it’s an honor to be here at one the of what I believe to be one of the better museums we have in the world. My only disappointment is that they never did let me fly that F-11-1 up there,” referring to the Tiger plane hanging from the museum’s lobby formerly flown by the Blue Angels. Cunningham discussed the program and the risk after the fatal fire of the Apollo 1 mission instantly killing astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee. “Many people asked me, ‘Were you afraid?’ And I have to tell you, ‘No, we were not afraid.’ And that’s the honest truth. But that does not mean we were unable or unaware of the risks that were involved. We thought rightly or wrongly we thought we could overcome all the obstacles and that our goal was worth the risk.” Cunningham further referenced how the astronauts and all of the thousands of people working on the mission were all of the same mindset, saying, “If this mission fails, it won’t fail because of me.“ He added, “They were not there for the fun of it, nor for notoriety… certainly not for money,” noting that he once calculated that the money he earned on the 11 days of the Apollo 7 mission equaled out to less than $660. Cunningham remarked that those who fly to space over time are highly motivated to get the job done and a commitment to make every mission a success. He characterized the early Apollo missions as the “Five Steps to Land Man” on the Moon with Apollo 7’s mission being to test the Land the Command Module. NASA and historians however will always refer to that mission as the longest, most ambitious and 101 percent perfect and successful mission leading to the great-
est accomplishment of the 20th century. He referenced Magellan and the early explorers from 500 years ago who were willing to die for their efforts of circling the globe. In closing, Cunningham acknowledged the astronauts of the Apollo program who were willing to make the sacrifice to our country and the service to history citing that some people did not make it and some people are no longer with us. “I was fortunate to be a brief part of the opportunity to fly harder, farther, faster on a mission to inspire future greatness,” Cunningham said. Ferraro, who was honored with the Leroy Grumman Award, said: “It is with deep gratitude and thanks to the Cradle of Aviation and its Board for this award… 35 years ago at the start of my career, I could not imagine standing here accepting this prestigious award that not only honors East/West (Industries) but honors the legacy of Leroy Grumman. I am truly honored to be standing in the shadow of such a great man.” East/West Industries is a family-owned small business that was founded in 1968 by Ferraro’s parents, Dom and Mary Spinosa, and is located in Ronkonkoma. Morse received the Aviation Leadership Award. Since co-founding MCR Development in 2006, he has led the company to its position as the seventh largest hotel owner/ operator in the United States, with $2 billion in assets. Morse said how thrilled he was to be part of the aviation community, having previously been part of the real estate development and hotel businesses. He referenced JFK’s speech about putting a man on the moon by end of decade and the spirit of jet aviation with the country looking skyward and acknowledged the ethos and spirit of the 60s. “This is an incredible museum and The Cradle of Aviation does a wonderful job of bringing together the aviation community in such wonderful ways to celebrate the greatness of aviation,” Morse said. The Cradle of Aviation Museum and Education Center is home to over 75 planes and spacecraft representing over 100 years of aviation history and Long Island’s only Giant Screen Dome Theater. Currently, the museum is celebrating “Countdown to Apollo at 50” sponsored by the Robert D.L. Gardiner Foundation, showcasing Long Island and Grumman’s significant role in the Apollo program. The museum is located on Museum Row, Charles Lindbergh Blvd., in East Garden City. For more information call (516) 572-4111 or visit www.cradleofaviation. org.

Lecture on Jewish Shopping all nighter at humor, the Holocaust Huntington arts center What made us laugh in the old days of Sid Caesar and Milton Berle is a far cry from the jokes and stories told by Larry David, Sarah Silverman and other contemporary comics today. But even if it seems like nothing is really off-limits anymore, do we want to hear Jewish comedians referencing
the Holocaust for laughs? In the presentation, “Jewish Humor and the Holocaust: Amusing, Confusing, Offensive?”, Dr. Linda Burghardt will talk about how figuring out what’s funny can be serious business. The lecture is open to the public and will take place on Friday, Nov. 30 at
11 a.m. at the Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County, Welwyn Preserve, 100 Crescent Beach Road in Glen Cove. Seating is limited, so register by calling 516-571-8040 or going online at hmtcli.org. Burghardt is a journalist and author from Great Neck. She worked as a freelance reporter for The New York Times for 20 years and is the author of three non-fiction books. Her articles and essays have appeared in newspapers across the U.S., and she has lectured to both national and international audiences on a variety of Holocaust topics. She holds a Ph.D. from LIUPost and is the daughter of Holocaust survivors from Vienna. Currently, she serves as scholar-inresidence at the Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center.

OUR TOWN
An ode to food as time goes by
I
t seems odd to me that writers rarely elaborate on joys of eating. Perhaps writers don’t like to use words like thick, heavy, rotund, chubby, fat or obese. However the only thing that seems to improve with age is my enjoyment of food. I wish I could enjoy sex or sports or fighting with my brother the way I did as a youngster, but sadly I do not. But I am certain that my love of good food only increases with age so let’s pay homage to the wonders of gastronomy in eight ways: 1. The virtue of Campbell’s tomato soup: Andy Warhol was not the only one who loved Campbell’s tomato soup. My family would spend summers in Maine and my grandmother was a superb cook. We lived in a big house on a hill with farmland and forests all round us. My brother and I would sleep in a glass enclosed porch on the third floor and she would wake make us up each morning and would ask what we wanted for breakfast. Pancakes with maple syrup right from their trees? Eggs, oatmeal, bacon, cereal? For breakfast and lunch each day I insisted on tomato soup. And she would just shake her head back and forth and say “Oh Tommy, what am I going to do with you ?” 2. Henry Miller on starvation: I was lucky enough to have a gifted older brother who introduced me to great literature from an early age. And my most vivid memory of Henry Miller’ books was a description of the time he lived in Paris, was nearly starving, stumbled into a church, listened to a Bach concerto and hallucinated to the music. Since then I always knew that food in
the stomach actually distracts you from clear thought. 3. The Story of the Grail is actually about food: In this 12th century masterpiece, the young Perceval is fed a feast by the Fisher King. The food is brought in on a golden grail by a beautiful young maiden. The banquet was so mesmerizing that he spends the remainder of his life seeking out the grail. So let’s drop the religious pretense, the search for the holy grail is really the search for the perfect meal. 4. Virginia Woolf: In the first great feminist paper, “A Room of One’s Own,” Woolf notes that food is rarely if ever written about, “It is a curious fact that novelists have a way of making us believe that luncheon parties are invariably memorable for something very witty that was said, or something very wise that was done. But they seldom spare a word for what was eaten. It is part of the novelist’s convention not to mention soup and salmon and ducklings, as if soup and salmon and ducklings were
DR. TOM FERRARO Our Town of not importance whatsoever.” 5. Elizabeth Gilbert on the pizza in Naples: One of my favorite mainstream books is “Eat, Pray Love,” which is the irresistible memoir of Elizabeth Gilbert’s emotional collapse after her divorce and her brave decision to take the year off to travel and to find pleasure and peace in other parts of the world. The book inspired me to seek out the world famous pizza of Naples. Naples is a sweaty nasty place but the pizza was great.
And I recently learned that Tokyo is now the place to go for perfect pizza and someday I will make it my business to see if that’s true. 6. River Café: Here is a short paragraph on what has to be the most romantic restaurant on earth. If there are restaurants in heaven they will use the River Café as the model. This restaurant is considered by many to be the best in the world and it is in driving distance from Nassau County. In other words, go. 7. Culinary Heights in Garden City: The gourmet carry-out and off-premise catering establishment has been a Garden City institution for 35 years. It is run by the husband/wife combo Mary and Norm Zimmer who are always there tirelessly working to serve those who have discriminating taste buds. With items like chicken salad with grapes and cashews, wild rice and shrimp salad, stuffed leg of lamb with rosemary and garlic or sandwiches more French than American, one learns quickly
why their customers are totally loyal to them. I love their apple turnovers, the carrot cake and chocolate cupcakes with vanilla icing. If my mother baked like this I would have never left home. 8. Chef Flynn: I was lucky enough to see what may be an Oscar-winning documentary last weekend at the Gold Coast International Film Festival in Port Washington. This was the story of Flynn McGarry who developed a passion for cooking at a very young age and with the support of his filmmaker mom has become an international star. The film is about the making of a prodigy, which is a subject I know something about since my practice as a sport psychologist consists of helping the families of very talented young athletes cope with international competition, travel and fame. In the film Larry King asks the already famous 15-year-old Flynn whether it bothers him to be referred to as the ‘Kid Chef.’ He handles the question with aplomb, but I will share with Flynn the story of Lance Armstrong. Many years ago I was in Miami covering a professional triathlon and during the run up to the race there were whispers that ‘The Kid’ was coming to the race. I asked someone who ’The Kid’ was and was told “It’s a young 15-year-old prodigy out of Texas named Lance Armstrong. He wins every race he enters.” And if you want to find out more about Flynn he has already opened a restaurant in Manhattan called Gem. So that’s my ode to the glories of food. So what if I’m a little over weight, at least I have a smile on my face.
