Praying For A Giant Rebound BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

JWOLKIN@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

he New York Football Giants are entering a new era. It’s almost time to see rookie quarterback Daniel Jones take the helm from two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning. But until head coach Pat Shurmur gives Jones the call to head onto the field, it’s Manning’s squad. And that means the Jones era has a year to sink in. Fans can hold off on drafting Jones for their fantasy football teams this year, mainly because he’ll get little to zero playing time. Nonetheless, it is indeed a new era. The Giants are gearing up to rebound from a 5-11 2018 season and 3-13 record in 2017. Now is the prime time for the new-look Giants to make a push at the playoffs. “I think you also bring in players that have done it before, so you have more guys on your roster that are aware of what that process entails,” Shumur said of teaching this team how they can win. “Then, you put the ball down and you play. That’s where we’re at.” The face of the Giants is sophomore running back Saquon Barkley, fresh off winning Offensive Rookie of the Year. In his freshman year with the Giants, he rushed for an astonishing 1,307 yards, breaking into the end zone 11 times. Even during training camp, Barkley’s raw speed was phenomenal. He flew by the opposing Giants defense, breaking them down player-by-player. Shumur knows just how elite of a rusher he has on his hands, and now is the time for him to lead them into a playoff hunt. “We know what we have with this team,” Barkley said. “We have a lot of talent, can be special and compete this year.” Manning is coming off one of his best seasons in the NFL, with a career-high 66 percent completion percentage, a passer rating of 92.4, 4,299 yards thrown (fourth-most of his career) and only 11 interceptions thrown. He still has what it takes to get the job done, and that’s exactly what the Giants need after major offseason shake-ups, including the loss of the team’s biggest on- and -off-field distraction, Odell Beckham Jr., who was traded to the Cleveland Browns for Jabrill Peppers and the Browns’ first and third round picks. Now that Manning is definitely the Giants’ starting quarterback—for now—Jones can absorb knowledge for him and let his preseason experience sink in before he one day takes the field for a regular season match. “I think, for the most part, trying not to make mistakes over and over again,” Jones said of what he’s doing well with thus far. “I think that’s how you learn, is not repeating mistakes. I think that’s a big thing, and trying to focus on that. When you’re told

something once, to correct it and move on so you can take the next steps. I think I’ve done a decent job with that.” Besides Jones, who was selected sixth overall in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Giants picked up tackle Dexter Lawrence. To replace Beckham, “Big Blue” picked up veteran wide receiver Golden Tate, who signed a four-year, $37.5 million contract. However, Tate is out for the first four games of the season due to being suspended for taking the drug Clomiphene, which is meant for infertility. While Tate and the Giants appealed the suspension, the NFL upheld the ruling. “I honestly think the hardest part is just about

over,” Tate told Long Island Weekly on Aug. 14, just hours after his suspension was upheld. “It has kind of hurt me to my core having to explain to the organization what’s going on. I just want to play football. Look at me, I’m not trying to cheat. I think I have represented the NFL shield pretty well in my career. I have achieved a lot of things, and I hope this doesn’t smear that reputation that I have worked very hard for.” TJ Jones, who the Giants signed in late July, will likely receive a chunk of playing time with Tate’s absence. 28-year-old Russell Shepard is also expected to have more on-field opportunities this year. But Manning’s main target, even when Tate makes his debut in the blue uniform, will be Sterling Shepard. Shepard enters his fourth year with the Giants, emerging as a leader for the Giants’ offense with 872 receiving yards in 2018. On the defensive side of the ball, the Giants allowed 25.8 points per game, ranked 23rd in the league. With a brand-new defense, featuring several young players, such as Julian Love, Dexter Lawrence and DeAndre Baker, that number is expected to decrease in 2019. Veterans B.J. Goodson, Alec Ogletree, Markus Golden and Janoris Jenkins will add to the defense’s versatility. The pressure is on the Giants’ shoulders this year, especially for Shurmur. Some reports say he’s one of the most likely coaches to either be fired or resign by the end of the year if he can’t lead the Giants back to the top of the NFC East. The Giants begin the regular season by facing the division rivals, the Dallas Cowboys, away on Sept. 8. JOY DIDONATO Director of Circulation LINDA BACCOLI Director of Business Administration

TRAVEL

At Your Gate

Airport delivery app takes off after promising first year BY DYLAN SPILKO EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

or those who fly, getting past security is only half the battle of spending a few hours in an airport. The real dilemma is what and where to eat as you wait for a flight. Multiple airports on the East Coast have introduced a new and growing in-airport delivery service that brings your meals right to your gate as you wait for a flight, eliminating the wandering traveler on a quest for food. AtYourGate, has been named one of the “Top apps to download in 2019” by the Today Show and is continuing its expansion into major airports. The user-friendly app enables passengers to order food from select restaurants and other items directly to their gates in airports that have adopted the new delivery app. It’s an easy and convenient solution for all travelers to order

food, drinks and even travel accessories while in the airport. Travelers only need to follow three simple steps, according to the AtYourGate website: download the AtYourGate app, order your desired items and wait for them to be delivered directly to your gate. It’s that easy. Customers should usually expect the delivery of their food within 20 to 30 minutes of placing their order. Travelers are also provided with real-time updates on the status of their order, and there is no minimum order requirement. On top of food, airport shoppers can order a wide variety of items on the app. Customers can place an order for their airport needs ranging from neck pillows to a phone charger, according to the app’s website. The company has delivered more than 5,000 orders and generated

more than 15,000 app downloads between Newark Liberty International Airport, LaGuardia Airport and JFK International Airport, according to a press release from The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. “AtYourGate’s rapid expansion is a testament to its strong partnerships, which have enabled us to offer the best-in-industry app for mobile ordering and delivery in our current network of airports,” said AtYourGate founder and CEO PJ Mastracchio. AtYourGate is now available at JFK Airport’s Terminal 7 & 8, Newark Liberty International Airport, LaGuardia Airport, Portland International Airport, San Diego International Airport and Minneapolis Saint Paul Airport. Founded in 2015 by Mastracchio in Laguna Beach, CA, the CEO created AtYourGate to give passengers easy solutions to the pains of traveling needs. “I traveled extensively for business and was an early adopter of the on-demand economy,” said Mastracchio.

PJ Mastracchio, CEO and founder of AtYourGate “Whether it was an early flight, a tight connection, or an arrival followed by a dash straight to a meeting, I found myself always sacrificing food for work.” After a successful first year, Mastracchio is looking to expand AtYourGate into more airports across the United States in the second half of 2019. “We are proud to say that in a little over a year we’ve delivered more than 40,000 meals to hungry travelers and airport employees,” said Mastracchio. With thousands of passengers served across the United States, AtYourGate implements a new type of airport delivery service that will look to satisfy their customers for years to come after a booming start. “Our goal in year one was to prove that a passenger or employee could download an app, enter their personal information, shop, check out and have food delivered,” Mastracchio said.

Steak Is For Lovers The uncut legend of big, beefy slabs of succulence

BY STEVE MOSCO

SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

t some point in human history, one of our loincloth-wearing ancestors stood confused over a roaring fire with long-lost ancient thoughts dancing around his head—“what is this glowing magic and do I have anything I can stick in it?” If he was lucky, that cave-dwelling hero had more than a few slabs of beast on hand to thrust into the burning heat. And what went in as raw, tough to digest, cold carnage, would be transformed into the basic approximation of what we know today as steak. Plenty has changed since that fateful day—and we likely boast more seasoning options than he did—but to this day there are few food pleasures that hearken back to our primeval origins than fire-kissed steak.

The House That Steak Built

The classic steakhouse order—steak, potatoes, creamed spinach and a stiff drink—have barely changed at all throughout the last century. Sure, other sacrilege menu accouterments like mashed cauliflower or parsnips have sneaked onto the menu, but by and large that time-tested order is still readily available. Americans still herd themselves to these establishments, regardless of any doctor’s order of “you need to eat less red meat.” And never mind if the steakhouse is an upscale restaurant with white linens and (for some reason) an all-male wait staff or a neighborhood favorite that still rocks the same decor from 1970s—the American institution that is the steakhouse and its most popular menu item is

of bacon, lamb kidneys and mutton chops, along with baked potatoes and plenty of warm ale. But times changed and as society grew more civilized, so did its steakhouses. In fact, some of the oldest restaurants operating in the country are steakhouses. The Old Homestead of the city’s Meatpacking District started serving charcoal broiled strip steak nearly 160 years ago and is still going strong today. And that’s not the only long-standing steak hall in New York—there’s also Keens Steakhouse, The Palm, and, of course, the legendary Peter Luger in Brooklyn.

Cuts Above and will forever be a status symbol that we all strive to attain at one time or another. The first eateries that can be linked to what we call a steakhouse originated in New York City in the mid19th century. These two supper club-type places— chophouses and beefsteak banquets—served meat of varying quality to clientele that ranged from the politically connected upper crust to the blue collar working man. Beefsteak banquets were for men only and essentially served as fundraisers for elected officials. They served beef tenderloin with slices of white bread—though no one actually ate the white bread. Chophouses, on the other hand, served local merchants and anyone else in need of a hot meal. These were dimly lit establishments, with sawdust piled on the creaking wooden floors and a thick haze of smoke forever billowing overhead. There were, indeed, beefsteaks on the menu, but also thick strips

Most steak aficionados say that there are only two ways to enjoy a steak—rare and medium rare. While I personally agree with this assertion, if you are the type of person who prefers medium-well or (gasp) a well-done steak, I’m not going to agree with you, but I will defend your right to destroy a beautiful piece of meat with your wrongheaded temperature requirements. God bless America. A quick dip into the world of Internet research renders multiple answers to the question, “How many types of steak are there?” So instead of seeking to answer a question that no one asked, let’s instead examine the top five most important cuts of steak. 1. Tomahawk Steak Perhaps the manliest of steak cuts, this marbled and moist gem of the steer owes its rich, intense flavor to the intact rib bone. This particular cut is a bone-in rib-eye steak that is so big, you can easily feed two or more people with it.

2. T-Bone Steak This cut is so true-blue American that it’s hard to picture the American flag without picturing it eating a T-Bone steak. (Am I the only one that pictures that?) That T-shaped bone separates the strip and the tenderloin muscles. 3. Porterhouse Steak The same cut as the T-bone, but it contains a larger portion of filet mignon due to its position on the cow. Many steak lovers hail the porterhouse as the perfect cut, as it brings together the strip steak and tender filet in carnivore harmony.

4. Skirt Steak This slab is cut from the cow’s diaphragm. This is a true “steak lover’s steak” in that while it is not particularly tender, it is one of the most flavorful bites on the entire animal. Any steak maven worth their salt can transform the skirt steak into a culinary dream. 5. Filet Mignon This overrated cut of steak is placed on this list out of sheer obligation. It is flavorless, boring, onenote and lame. Is it tender? Yes. But so is cottage cheese and you don’t see cottage cheese on this list, do you?

HISTORY

Francis Lewis Suffering for the cause BY JOE SCOTCHIE JSCOTCHIE@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

f the New Yorkers involved in the nation’s founding, Alexander Hamilton is the one best known to the public. Francis Lewis (1713-1802) was a New Yorker who suffered greatly for the cause of American independence. His family suffered, too. Indeed, an entire book could be written on his son, Morgan, who was governor of New York from 1804 to 1807 and served as a major in the United States Army during the Revolutionary War and as a major general in the War of 1812. A grandson, Manny, died during the epic, three-day Battle of Gettysburg. Francis Lewis was the only son of a Welsh clergyman. By the time he was 5 years old, both of his parents had died. It was the beginning of a life filled with such heartache. But it was also the beginning of a life filled with monumental achievements. Lewis was raised by relatives and attended London’s prestigious Westminster School. At 21, he came into a generous inheritance. Lewis sailed off to the North American colonies, getting involved in several business ventures. When the French and Indian War broke out in 1754, Lewis was head of a manufacturing firm that made clothing for British troops. While in battle at Fort Oswego in Upstate New York, Lewis was captured by French forces. The French, in turn, handed Lewis and other prisoners to their Native American allies. Either death or captivity awaited, but miraculously, Lewis survived. His knowledge of the Welsh language helped him to understand the language of his captors, whose chief was so impressed that he released Lewis to the custody of his family in Montreal. For his loyalty, Lewis, after the war, was awarded 5,000 acres of land on Long Island from the British Crown. That includes the streets and roads that countless New Yorkers drive, walk or bike on every day. Lewis eventually purchased an estate in Whitestone, Queens. With the Stamp Act, however, Lewis turned on the Crown. He was active in the push for independence, attending both the First and Second Continental Congresses and serving as a member of The Sons of Liberty. Benjamin Rush hailed Lewis as “a very honest man and very useful in executive business.” When independence was declared and war

John Trumbull’s 1819 painting, “Declaration of Independence,” depicts the five-man drafting committee of the Declaration of Independence presenting their work to the Congress. The painting can be found on the back of the U.S. $2 bill. The original hangs in the U.S. Capitol rotunda. Francis Lewis is twelfth from the right. Inset: Francis Lewis (The Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Division of Art, Prints and Photographs: Print Collection, New York Public Library) came, the British initially held the upper hand in the conflict. After routing the Colonials in the Battle of Brooklyn, British troops set their sights on the Lewis mansion. Francis Lewis and his sons were in the field, leaving Elizabeth, Lewis’s wife and mother of the couple’s seven children, to fend off the British. “A soldier tore the glittering buckles from her shoes that looked to him like gold but were really just pinchbeck. ‘All that glitters is not gold,’ Elizabeth remarked to the discomfited young man,” wrote a biographer. The troops proceeded to destroy books, papers, pictures and furniture. Elizabeth was captured and sent to a prison without a bed, a change of clothing and little food. Word of her treatment eventually reached George Washington. The general promptly had his men arrest the wives of both the British Paymaster-General and the Attorney General of Pennsylvania. British authorities were told that these two women would face the same harsh treatment Elizabeth Lewis was now subject to. The threat worked. A prisoner exchange was negotiated, but Elizabeth’s brief prison term took its toll. She died in June 1779 in Philadelphia, with her husband by her side. Washington was loyal to the Lewis family. Francis Lewis, in turn, returned the honor. He stood by Washington when the Conway Cabal plotted to have the general replaced as commander of the Continental Army with General Horatio Gates. As the war was winding down, Lewis

signed the Articles of Confederation, a document that kept the 13 colonies together while the U.S. Constitution was being drafted, debated on and ratified. Lewis was one of the 16 men to sign both the Declaration and the Articles. After a lifetime of trials, tribulations, heartache and historic triumphs, Lewis retired to his home in lower Manhattan. He served as a vestryman at the Trinity Church, one of the city’s oldest Episcopal churches. Lewis died in 1802 and was buried in an unmarked grave at Trinity’s cemetery. Even though he lost his wife and his Whitestone home during the war, Lewis was comforted in his retirement by his children and grandchildren. They, too, would live eventful lives. Francis Lewis is not forgotten. There is a Francis Lewis Boulevard in northern Queens, a high school and park named for him, plus a plaque outside the site of his former Whitestone estate. In Washington, Lewis’s name is on a memorial that sits near the Washington Monument and he figures prominently in an Andrew Turnbull painting on Capitol Hill. Lewis is not remembered as he should be, either. In 2011, Whitestone residents, along with a descendant of the Lewis family, expressed a desire to have a statue erected to the man. Such people might want to contact the local Daughters of American Revolution (DAR) chapter and consider raising the funds to build a statue on private property. There are 51 members of the New York City Council and I doubt that any of them know or care who Lewis was, not to mention who his son, Morgan, was. The mayor of New York City probably doesn’t know who Lewis is, nor might the governor of New York, even though the latter is a native of Queens County. The Lewis family suffered greatly for the cause of the young nation. They even paid with their lives.

Project Nyame Nsa Rethinks Orphan Care

Long Islanders travel to children’s village in Ghana BY RUDY MALCOM

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

wenty people from Shelter Rock Church—which has three locations across Nassau County— traveled to Ghana in West Africa this summer. For a week, they spent their mornings helping Ghanaian contractors to build a permanent cinder block home for a woman in the Teacher Mante community whose husband died last year. The widow and her seven children had been sleeping on the dirt floor of their one-room mud and stick house. During the afternoon, the group led a Vacation Bible School in the nearby Village of Hope, bonding with 44 children through games, crafts and other activities. “By the end of the week, a lot of the children started to make connections with our team,” said trip-goer Jerry O’Sullivan, lead pastor at Shelter Rock’s Syosset campus. “Some of the children opened up about challenges in their past—of having their parents die and not having people looking out for them.” Thanks to Project Nyame Nsa (PNN), the village has housed orphaned children since July 2016. The Christian nonprofit organization— whose name means “God’s helping hands” in Twi, a popular dialect in Ghana—was founded by Manhasset native Devon Leondis, 25, almost a decade ago. “The Village of Hope is not a typical orphanage. I don’t even like using that word,” Leondis said. “It’s really a children’s village...Children belong in families, not in institutions.” Each apartment in the village includes one mother and eight or nine foster siblings. Leondis hopes that PNN will enable the children to become future leaders and changemakers. She first envisioned building homes for African orphans as a little girl. “It was a dream that God put in my heart,” she said. Instead of accepting gifts for her 16th birthday, Leondis asked guests for donations. She raised enough money to build three fresh water wells. Six months later, she and her father

A completed new home for a family. flew to Ghana to see the people whose lives she’d affected. Leondis met individuals from rural villages outside Accra, the capital city, and heard stories of daily struggles, of parents dying, of orphaned children not going to school. “Growing up in Manhasset, I wasn’t always so exposed to what is really going on in the world,” she said. “One of the most beautiful things about stepping out of your comfort zone is...that you’ll be challenged to think about the reality of other people’s every day lives.” After returning to the U.S., she filed the paperwork to start PNN and began raising money to build the village. “One of the first children who joined the community had been abandoned at birth. A victim of child labor, he’d never received an education. He was a victim of child labor,” Leondis said. “He lacked a sense of belonging or that he mattered.”

The team working with Ghanians to build a new home. But during a church service months later, she recounted, the boy “accepted Jesus as his savior.” “From that point on, we saw a radical transformation in his heart,” she said. “He now feels so loved and has dreams for his generation in Ghana. He wants to do exactly what we’re doing at Project Nyame Nsa in his own country and part of breaking the orphan cycle.” In addition to attending a recently opened Montessori school, the village’s children frequently pray and often participate in other biblical activities. Leondis stressed, however, that PNN is not seeking to proselytize. “We don’t try to convert any of the kids. They totally have free will to accept it or not, but from what we’ve seen, almost all the children coming in are accepting this in their own time when they feel ready,” she said. “But we’ve had children come in from different faiths, and we wouldn’t

exclude anyone.” O’Sullivan, who was Leondis’s youth pastor, highlighted the Christian value of caring for the vulnerable. He believes that the children’s “vibrant” relationship with God has given them optimism and inner strength. (By comparison, behavioral science expert Gleb Tsipursky wrote in Psychology Today that “religion is only one among many ways of developing a personal sense of life meaning and greater sense of personal agency.”) O’Sullivan noted that the children still retain their language and customs. “They are thriving because of the Ghanian culture that’s infused in Project Nyame Nsa. For example, the older boys love to play the drums to the point where they lead drums for the church services,” he said. “I don’t want these kids to think, ‘If you live in America, you’re blessed; if you live here, you’re not.’” Angelle Kwemo, who founded an initiative that seeks to empower young Africans, believes that “foreign assistance has, at times, developed a culture of dependency in Africa,” she wrote in an article for The Brookings Institution. “You don’t need American volunteers to run this project,” Leondis said. “It’s fully sustainable with all local leadership.” But to provide “a little extra love and encouragement,” O’Sullivan said, the 20-person group stayed in the Village of Hope from July 26 to Aug. 3. Rich Cutler, who owns Mim’s Restaurant in Roslyn Heights, described the trip as “transformational” because of the relationships that he, his wife and their 14-year-old daughter forged. Cutler recalled an especially meaningful moment. “The children were individually praying for us, out loud...in their own words. They were praying for the people on our team,” he said. “All of us were crying at the end.” Next July, PNN plans to open a village in Zambia; Leondis aims to help raise children across the entire African continent, “if not the world,” she added.

Denmark Is Not Our Enemy

BY JERRY KREMER

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

love old movies and Broadway shows, especially those that provide history lessons. The show Hamilton continues to excite people of all ages, as it makes political intrigue understandable. The show 1776 tells the story about what happened behind the scenes when the Declaration of Independence was being drafted and the efforts of John Adams to convince the participants that it was time to break away from England. One of my longtime movie favorites is The Madness of King George. This 1994 comedy-drama film tells the true story of George III of Great Britain’s deteriorating mental health and his battles with his closest family and advisors. I can’t help but compare George’s strange behavior to President Donald J. Trump. I

INSIDE POLITICS Jerry Kremer make no allegations or inferences about this president, but his latest actions do raise questions as to whether he is experiencing serious personal problems. Let’s start with a country named Greenland. I have never met anyone who has vacationed on this mostly ice covered island that is loyal to Denmark. It has roughly

57,000 residents. It was valuable to the United States when the Cold War began and is the site of a strategic radar station that keeps us informed about possible terrorist activities. But if I were planning a pleasure trip it would not be on my bucket list. Considering these simple facts, it is hard to understand why President Trump would even think about the need for America to buy that land mass. I don’t think a condominium unit or a golf course would be a profitable real estate venture, so why start a fight with Queen Margrethe II over her refusal to sell this piece of mostly barren land? To add insult to injury, the president canceled a planned trip to Denmark, because he felt insulted about his failed real estate proposal. Not only was the president miffed but he decided that it was an affront to “America.”

KKEOEPHINLG’SKIDCS HAEARLTEHSY Our 5-2-1-0 campaign is easy to remember and lets you work on one set of healthy habits at a time.

I have never been to Denmark, but I admire that country for the fact that it resisted the Nazis during World War II and it celebrates our July 4 Independence Day as if it were their own. I rarely eat Danish pastry, but I do admire their many varieties of cheeses. Overall, they are a great country with many spectacular people and they deserve the respect of every American citizen.

I know the president announced that he was taking a short vacation at his New Jersey golf course, but maybe he should extend it by a week or so. There is a lot going on in our country, plus Iran, Syria, Afghanistan and North Korea. He should give up tweeting about Greenland and Denmark and find a new White House physician to speak to.

Every day we make lots of choices and decisions that can impact our health. Some decisions involve what we eat, where we eat, what we drink, how we get to school or work and how we spend our free time. With overweight and obesity affecting so many of our youth today, parents and caregivers need tools to help establish good habits that can have a lasting impact on their family’s health.

all is a wonderful time of year for plants and if you’re determined to get out in the garden while the September weather is still mild, you will find that there are numerous plants that bloom in the autumn. Many plants can be planted in the fall for instant color. Asters, for example, bloom in the autumn but are planted mid spring. Ornamental cabbage and kale would make a wonderful additions to any fall garden. These plants were bred for heartiness and durability with beautiful striking leaves. The good news is their ability to survive very cold temperatures in the winter. With some protection, these plants are able to withstand temperatures as low as five degrees Fahrenheit. Chrysanthemums are popular because of the assortment of colors available. Mums add a collage of color to any garden. Personally, I

have little luck with these plants. My mums almost never come up the next year because it is too cold in the winter. The flowers are forced to bloom in the fall season, which weakens the plant. These plants are a great addition to your fall garden. The selection of flowers are amazing in the array of different sizes and colors of each flower. Fall flowering Asters or New York Asters leaves are smooth while New England Asters are hairy. New York Asters tend to be smaller in stature with more flowers. Blooming from late summer to fall, attracting many butterflies and bees. You can see them growing on the side of roads or hiking trails in the fall. Another beautiful flowering plant is Goldenrod, which has a bad reputation for causing hay fever. This is not true. Goldenrods have limited pollen that does not blow in the wind. These flowers are pollinated by bees. Ragweed blooms at the same time as

Golden Rod, however, Ragweed produces an enormous amount of pollen. These plants have excessive amounts of pollen that are wind-blown. Goldenrod blooms in late fall with cascading small yellow flowers. A good grower in drought conditions, there are many varieties of different sizes and heights. Goldenrod flowers attract bees and butterflies, a native plant that I recommend adding to your garden. However, it can be invasive so watch where you plant them. Dusty Miller can be planted in the spring for its showy decorative leaves and in the fall, it’s a great addition for the autumn plants with very interesting leaves. Grow it in full sunlight so the plant doesn’t get leggy. It is a very hardy plant that survives well into the winter. Once mature, it has small yellow flowers. There are plants for every type of garden and countless varieties that can add color to your yard.

MUSEUM NEWS

Take A Flight Back In Time

American Airpower Museum celebrates 75th anniversary board the Museum’s WWII C-47, just like our heroes did 75 years ago, risking all to liberate occupied Europe. On the C-47, experience sights and sounds as engines fire up and you take off into history. During flight, you’ll observe the aircrew operating their C-47 and paratroopers prepping for battle. Relive the Airborne experience to the point when you hook your parachute to a static line. Although you might like to, you won’t leave the airplane until you’re safely back on the ground. Upon returning from this exciting flight, you learn what our heroes did 75 years ago, how they helped achieve victory for the allies, culminating in the Nazi surrender. This is a family-friendly experience for all ages. Minors must be accompanied by an adult. The program is about 1.5 hours long and the flight part takes 25 minutes. All flight operations are subject to change and rescheduling due to weather, maintenance or crew availability. Cost of the C-47 flight is $350. The museum conducts up to three flights that day. Your contribution supports our mission to honor Veterans and U.S. aviation history by preserving the aircraft and their legacy for future generations. The American Airpower Museum is located at Hanger 3, 1230 New Hwy. in Farmingdale. To book a flight or for more information, call 516-531-3950 or visit www.americanairpower museum.com. —American Air Power Museum

he American Airpower Museum’s C-47 will take passengers on a 75th D-Day Anniversary living history flight experience on Sept. 14. On board each flight, WWII re-enactors will transport you back in time to the day before Normandy. The museum’s living history educational program is so popular that it was covered by the dozens of news and television outlets. The cost is $350 per person, with reduced pricing for museum members and the person flying can bring one guest to visit the museum free of charge. Stories of our nation’s “Greatest Generation,” heroes of the Normandy D-Day Invasion, are being retold to a new generation of Americans. The American Airpower Museum takes the next step and turns these events into living history so one can hear, see, touch and experience how it was on the “Night of Nights” that launched D-Day, or the daytime “Operation Market Garden” airdrop into Holland in September 1944. To honor the C-47 troop carrier crews and soldiers of the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions, the museum has created a totally unique experience. With help from the 101st Airborne volunteer historians, you are transported back in time and issued your M-1942 jump jacket, helmet, and harness. You take part in an Airborne mission brief and then “form up” with your guides in full WWII 101st Airborne gear. Next, you

Isla Mujeres BY MAYA BROWN

lear waters, tall palm trees and the sounds of salsa music playing in the background. When many people think of Mexico, they immediately think of Cancun, but in this case, it’s Isla Mujeres, which translates to the “Island of Women.” I spent some time on this Mexican island, whose name comes from the temple of Ixchel, the Mayan goddess of fertility. Only 20 minutes from Cancun by ferry, the island offers

many stunning views thanks to its gorgeous turquoise waters. It is also the first spot where you can see the sun rise in Mexico. Visiting another country means a different culture, food, environment and people. I had the opportunity to stay with family while I was visiting, which meant I would be staying in a pueblito, or village. That meant that I was able to eat a ton of Mexican food both cooked by

my grandmother and from little street carts off the side of the road. From the crunchy chicken tacos to the constant 32 ounces of ice cold horchata, my stomach was always full. Aside from the delicious food, the places I saw and discovered on the island were some of my favorite moments from my trip, and locales that you, too, might enjoy.

ISLA MUJERES from page 15A Parque De Los Sueños This translates to the “Dream Park,” and that describes it perfectly. When you first enter the park, you are immediately greeted by a beautiful waterfront view, with a long wooden boardwalk that extends over the bright blue water. This park offers free entry with plenty of activities to participate in, including snorkeling, paddleboarding, kayaking and a trampoline in the water. My favorite activity was snorkeling, as you can see various vividly colored fish swimming around you underwater. When you get hungry, the fun part about the dining experience is the swim-up bar and live music throughout the day. Parque De Los Sueños is perfect for families, as both kids and parents can find enjoyment.

bright yellow, vivid orange and light pink hues radiated across the sky. I even saw a few dolphins swim past in the ocean. This scene looked like something straight out of a movie. In addition to that marvelous view, Punta Sur also offers a couple of souvenir shops and food carts and for a small fee, you can see the sculptures and access a trail overlooking the cliff for Punta Sur Being at the tip of the island even more amazing views. Dolphin Discovery early in the morning before Although I did this activity the sun even rises, was one two years ago, it is definitely of the most precious sights I have ever seen in my life.

ence, and a must-do activity for first time visitors to the island. As you are hugging, kissing and being pushed by dolphins, you realize how intelligent these creatures truly are. As you go through this experience, employees at the center take videos and photos capturing the experience, so you can keep these memories forever with you.

El Centro

Located downtown, this area is compact and full of shops and various places to eat. From markets and cafés to food carts and street vendors, you will most definitely find a souvenir to be able to bring back home. Also, even though it is Mexico, there is a wide range of flavors this area offers, including authentic Mexican cuisine. Avenue Medina can get a little busy, but a golf cart or scooter rental is a great way to get around this place. Take in the traditional town square and visit the Church of the Immaculate Conception. In addition, El Centro is located by many beaches, including Playa Norte.

County Executive Reminds Residents Of Hurricane Preparedness

ith hurricane season in full swing and the seventh anniversary of Superstorm Sandy approaching, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran was recently joined by Nassau County Office of Emergency Management Commissioner Steven Morelli and other Nassau County Public Safety and Emergency Response personnel to discuss important storm preparations and resources for residents. Curran spoke about the preparations that the county makes in advance of a storm and discussed resources available to residents before, during and after a hurricane or emergency. Many of the county’s emergency assets were also on display. “The county is ready for

peak hurricane season and we encourage our residents to prepare as well,” said Curran. “The best time to prepare for a storm is when nothing is in the forecast—I urge all residents to get an emergency kit ready and make a plan with your family so you are prepared for any emergency.” Emergency and public safety personnel from various county departments were also on hand to stress the importance of hurricane preparedness and give useful emergency tips to the public about topics such as animal safety, evacuations, family preparedness kits, emergency shelters and more. In attendance was Nassau County Office of Emergency Management, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), Nassau County Police

Residents should follow these prep tips to prepare for hurricane season.

Department Commissioner Patrick Ryder, Nassau County Fire Marshal personnel, Department of Public Works, Department of Health, Department of Social Services and the county’s emergency animal response. Curran is also coordinating with the state National Guard to offer hurricane

preparedness courses in Nassau County for residents. Since Superstorm Sandy, Nassau County has made several emergency preparedness improvements including adding disaster management contractors and disaster monitoring consultants to work with the Department of Public Works. Their services include debris removal, documentation and disposal throughout the event and cleanup. This year, Curran offers the below tips and a prep checklist for residents which is available at www.nassaucountyny.gov/ hurricanepreparedness. Residents should follow these prep tips to prepare for hurricane season. Create an emergency preparedness kit with food and water, batteries and other basic supplies for

each family member to last at least three days. Remember to include essential medications, copies of important documents and special items for children and pets. If you are in a flood zone, know your evacuation route and create a plan with your family. Be sure to always keep a list of emergency phone numbers and plan what to do in case you are separated from your family during an emergency and what to do if you must evacuate. Check on any elderly or disabled neighbors who may need assistance. Make sure all leaks and repairs are secure on your home and if a storm is predicted, remove any loose items from your yard to avoid further damage to your home. —Nassau County

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND Stretching it

ARIES (March 21-April 19). When wonderful things happen to you from out of the blue, it’s because someone else is taking a risk. And when you’re making wonderful things happen, you’re taking the risk. Either way, the lesson this week is that nothing wonderful happens without people taking risks. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Venus ruled, you’ve an intimate knowledge of the ways beauty can be be worth the pain you have to go through to get there. You’ll once again put yourself out there in the name of creating a certain aesthetic by making, designing or embodying your ideas about beauty. The results will be worth the process. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s not that you think life should serve you; it’s more that life naturally does that when you’re interested in what’s going on around you. When you’re not, it’s a sign to move where there’s more likely to be something in it for you. There’s no time to waste on things that don’t help you engage with them and with life. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll probably feel like quitting, but don’t -- not yet. Take this as a sign that you’re about to get much more out of the situation than you bargained for. This is a priceless opportunity to unravel problems and dig deeper into your well of creativity (not to mention grit) to persevere. Remember why you started this, and keep going. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Though life may unfold in illogical and seemingly ungraceful ways for you, there’s no need to hide your struggle. It has human interest value. You’ve the power to capture people’s attention and put them in a curious, helpful mood. There’s something mightily attractive about the less-than-perfect order of things. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). So, what are these finer things in life anyway? Because you’ve tried a few that, for a short time, you thought were worth it, then they just seemed like the same things a lot of people have and not notably finer. Were those the wrong things? Should you get more? Different? Maybe what’s “finer” isn’t a “thing” at all. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s a week when inclusion will be very important. Bring enough for everyone. Make sure everyone is in on the group text. Use only exhibits large enough to be seen by all. Are there enough chairs? In whatever ways you can, be an open book with a policy of translucence; it will keep you in excellent graces. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are people around you who are lost inside a place that you know all too well. In fact, you’ve been in the spot so long, it’s practically your spiritual hometown. Help them know what to do to get their needs met in this place, where the cool sites are and the general ins and outs of this particular spiritual township. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re not always in the mood to compete, so when the spirit of competition does land on you, as it will this week, take it for the blessing that it is. Let it fuel you and make you more vital and resourceful. Focus your energy on what matters to you. Avoid competing for something you don’t really want. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It will be helpful to your cause to spend some time in your own imagination, especially with an audience of people you create in your mind. Present your case, story or work to the imaginary group. This exercise will give you clarity on how to spend the industrious energy available to you in abundance this week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll learn quickly about people’s strengths and limitations. This happens mostly because your strong curiosity prompts you to ask excellent questions (some of them posed only in your mind) and make keen observations. You’ll be an excellent leader, casting people in roles in which they can succeed.

At the start of your solar return, an increased awareness of subtleties will make life more enjoyable. A freer schedule, fewer duties -- these are all life-enhancing circumstances to enjoy before the pace picks up in 2020 and takes you for a spin. Love and adventure are on the menu, and it will be necessary to learn a new language, either literally or figuratively. The soul-growth comes from working on projects, making them public and then honing your efforts based on feedback. You’re not out to please the world. You’d rather serve others through mutually satisfying collaboration.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). As the saying “apples and oranges” implies, comparing two very different entities isn’t impossible, but it’s a silly thing to do in most contexts. Unless the question is extremely pressing and quantifiable, e.g., “Which has more vitamin C?” there’s little to be gained through needless comparisons this week.

Seasonal Switch Up How to transition your home from summer to early fall BY JENNIFER FAUCI

JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

oon will come the days when we begin imbibing a cup of cocoa or cider next to a cozy fire. But there is plenty of fun in welcoming a new season into your home and making simple switches in decorative items and accessories is the perfect way to warm up or add cooling accents to the home. If your upholstery is in the neutral family, the obvious choice is to add different pillow colors that reflect the season. For autumn, you’ll want to incorporate burgundy, burnt orange, chartreuse browns and cocoas, mustard yellow and even some eggplant purple tones. Area rugs are also simple to change and switch out as they can be rolled up and stored until the next season. Draperies, too, are easy to switch out from season to season with different patterns and prints for linens and side panels. Use sturdier fabrics and textures like velvets and keep the window dressing minimal to let as much natural light in as possible. As for home décor, pumpkins and leaves, nutty woods like oak and walnut and floral arrangements of sunflowers, Chrysanthemums, cotton and grasses

will do just fine. These seasonal elements are easy and inexpensive to transition and can be found at a local craft or home goods store. If you are in the mood to paint, try complementing your existing wall color with an accent wall or patterned wallpaper. While it is very appealing and pretty, the gray trend can get boring, but creams, beiges and taupes will always be in style.

Pumpkins

The symbol of fall, pumpkins don’t have to be orange and decked out with Halloween or harvest sayings. Keep it classy in neutral tones that complement the rest of the décor in your home. Available at TJ Maxx for $9.99 and up.

Pillows

Throw pillows are one of the easier accessories to switch out to update your furniture, changing the entire style and aesthetic of the space. These pillows from Pier1 range in price from $14 to $30.

Candles

Nothing says the scent of fall like a warm candle. Maple, cinnamon, apple and pumpkin are favorites to burn during the cooler weather. Check out

Coming Full Circle T BY ALEC RICH

EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

he year was 2002 and St. Mary’s High School’s newest basketball transfer, Danny Green, was struggling. Running lengthy sprints across the court during one of his first preseason practices, Green found himself falling behind his teammates. A far cry from the lighter running drills he’d been accustomed to during his freshman year at his native North Babylon High School, coach Tim Cluess’ unwavering demand for excellence was beginning to weigh on Green. But what came next marked a true turning point in the early stages of Green’s development. Senior Mamadou Diakite, taking notice of his fatiguing teammate, proceeded to drag Green across the finish line so he could complete the sprints in time. Describing the moment as a “make-or-break-type time,” Green said from there on in, he knew the steeper challenge would be a mental one, rather than a physical one. Learning a hard lesson in mental toughness that day paid off for Green, who continued to grow throughout high school, at the University of North Carolina and now, as one of the NBA’s most prolific 3-point shooting wings. After winning his second NBA title this past season as a member of the Toronto Raptors, Green now heads to Los Angeles, where he will look to help LeBron James and the Lakers reclaim the iconic organization’s mantle atop the NBA. But before Green faces his next challenge, he made time amidst the whirlwind of the NBA offseason to return to his hometown of North Babylon for the 10th annual Team Green Basketball Skills Camp. Green, joined by his father Danny Green Sr., brothers Rashad, Devonte and Dante, plus childhood friends, worked to inspire hundreds of local kids in their own pursuit of the dream he now lives. For Green, the trip back to the place he called home for so many years was a nostalgic moment, as he remembered his first coach, Green Sr. “He taught me the game, he got me into the game and he got me to love the game,” he said of his father. “The main reason why I played basketball was because of him.” Setting a high bar for his sons at an early age, Green Sr. said building a half-court in the backyard and placing a bench press alongside it was just one of the ways he helped Green and his brother Rashad develop their game. Rashad, who is just 10 months younger than his older brother, said once the pair hit middle school, their work on the court became “serious” as they began playing in travel leagues and were constantly pitted against older opponents. Quickly growing into a “quiet leader” throughout middle school and into his freshman year at North Babylon High School, Rashad said Green energized those around him merely by “his effort, talent and skill.” But Green’s drive to continue pushing forward would soon be tested in ninth grade after his North Babylon team suffered a crushing scrimmage loss against Cluess’ St. Mary’s squad. Not satisfied with

Green climbed through the NBA D-League and signed with the Spurs in 2011. He won his first NBA championship in 2014 with the Spurs and after being traded to the Toronto Raptors he won his second this past season.

his team’s fourth-quarter effort in the blowout win, Cluess told his players not to get changed, instead, he informed them they’d be practicing upon returning to St. Mary’s. Green Sr., who overheard Cluess’ speech, was impressed and soon called Cluess to discuss transferring both Danny and Rashad to St. Mary’s. As the next basketball season came around, the pair found themselves waking up at 5 a.m. daily, as their father drove them to a family friend’s house in Farmingdale, who then drove the duo to Hicksville. From there, the two took the train to Manhasset and finally a bus to St. Mary’s. Rashad said the pair would then return to North Babylon around 9 or 10 p.m. each night and repeat the trip the next day. Brand new to Cluess’ legendary take-no-prisoners style, Green quickly found himself being dragged across the finish line by Diakite in after-school sprints. But Cluess said it was Green’s persistence that allowed him to succeed. “Danny fought through that, which I really liked,” Cluess, who will be entering his 10th year as head coach at Iona College this fall, said. “In his junior and senior year, he never lost one sprint or one suicide or one line drill. It showed how much he wanted to develop.” The hard work and grueling hours Green put in during his time at St. Mary’s paid off, and by his senior year in the 2004-05 season, the team had a 25-1

record to pair with his McDonald’s All-American selection. Looking back, Green said he was surrounded by a group of great players who fostered an environment to help him develop. “Growing up with those guys, there were memories I’ll never forget,” Green said. “A lot of those guys shaped the way I am. Just learning how to be a teammate, learning how to be a leader.” It’s this same demeanor and maturity that Rashad cited as one of the main reasons his older brother found success in the NBA. “I saw him come off North Carolina’s bench behind five other guys and he’s the only guy left in the league now,” said Rashad, who would go on to play at the University of San Francisco after graduating from St. Mary’s. Even with the time constraints that come with playing in the NBA, a now accomplished Green continues to come back to Long Island each summer. Green has hosted 11 camps over the last 10 summers on Long Island, including one at St. Mary’s. He said returning home gives him an opportunity to connect with local youth and catch up with friends and family. “It’s very important to come back to where you came from and try to help kids from your area and give them the resources to be successful,” Green said. —Additional reporting by Marco Schaden
