J erry Seinfeld once remarkedabout baseball, “As long asthe grass is green, the gloves

are leather and the bats are wood,I’m good.” Many diehard base-ball fans might agree with this.Oh, but there is so much more.

Attending a baseball game canstir so many emotions. There’sthe flood of nostalgia amongadults as they recall the happymemories of attending baseballgames during their youth. There’sthe excitement in the faces of thechildren as they get to see theirheroes live and the thrill of chas-ing and capturing a foul ballthat’s been hit into the stands.The crack of the bat, the pop ofthe glove, and the buzz of thecrowd which escalates to a full-

SusanLucci

Tells AllNative daughter

returns home to sharememoir with friends

and neighborsBy Dr. Cynthia Paulis

[email protected]

The last golden rays of sunlightslipped through the white planta-tion shutters of the A.T. Stewart

home, illuminating the living room, re-flecting off the crystal chandeliers, as 100people eagerly awaited the arrival of Gar-den City native Susan Lucci.

The Emmy-winning actress, Broadwaystar, and author of the New York Times best-selling memoir, All My Life, looked fit andfabulous in an off-the-shoulder black topand short white skirt. Flashing her trade-mark smile, she greeted friends, fans,neighbors and members of the Garden CityHistorical Society (GCHS). Albert In-treglia, president of the GCHS, introducedLucci to the audience and announced thatshe was being named the Historical Soci-ety’s first honorary trustee. Taking her place

in front of the home’s marble fireplace,Lucci acknowledged many people in theaudience including Kris Harder, a trusteewho was instrumental in having Lucci stageher book signing in the newly restoredhome and headquarters of the GCHS.

Lucci shared with the audience her loveof Garden City.

“I have such a strong feeling for thistown. I grew up here and my husband and Iraised our children here. What I have al-ways loved about Garden City, even goingto high school here, is that this is a townwith multiple generations,” she gushed. “Ithought there must be something to thisthat my parents chose to move to this town.I wanted to raise my children here, and wedid. Now my children and my three grand-children are all part of this community. Ilove it here and see so many familiar faces.I started thinking about the multiple gener-ations who started watching my show [AllMy Children] with their mothers andgrandmothers and are now watching withtheir children, much like the multiple gen-erations who grew up in this town.”

Lucci went on to discuss how her sonconvinced her to write the memoir andthen entertained the group with anecdotesfrom the book and life growing up in Gar-den City. Afterward she took a seat in theparlor with her husband, Helmut, hoveringover her, and graciously spoke with everyguest in the home, signing books, andposing for multiple photos until the finalperson left two hours later.

People who know or who have met Su-san Lucci all seem to have the same im-pression of her being a genuinely nice per-son. One of the guests was an Episcopalpriest: Reverend Gerardo Ramirez from St.Mary’s in Carle Place, who was celebrat-ing his birthday and was unabashed in his

O ld Westbury Gardens is quite startling in its abili-ty to delight the senses. Majestic iron gates cre-ated in the early 18th century greet visitors at the

entrance on Old Westbury Road. A sweeping driveway,lined with trees and shrubs in an abundance of green,guides guests toward the Westbury House. The majesticdining hall has a hanging chandelier, finely detailedfireplace and portraits hanging on the wall as voicesecho through the grand room. The house itself wasbuilt to be similar to the great houses of England, andit does, indeed, give a feeling of being transported toan English estate.

Walking through the grounds of Old Westbury Gardens,the rippling of the water in the ponds, lakes, or at the cen-ter fountain provides the perfect complement to thebreathtaking, peaceful, views, which help to capture theserenity of rural Long Island. The charming barns alsocontribute to this effect. And of course, the horticulture isspectacular.

Whether it be the explosion of yellow, orange, and redthat dances through the trees in autumn, grounds that arecovered in pure white snow during the winter, or theemergence of lilies, tulips and cherry blossoms in thespringtime, there is always something to behold at the for-mer home of John “Jay” Phipps.

However, the summer is when the professionally main-tained gardens really sparkle. The climbing roses are justone of the many types of plants which explode during thesummer months, attracting many visitors.

“Mention Old Westbury Gardens at most times of theyear, and visitors will likely envision Westbury House andour beautiful gardens,” says Director of CommunicationsVince Kish. “But during the warm summer months, whileno less appreciative of the house and grounds, people un-derstandably tend to think in terms of our outdoor events.And, particularly, since we’ve been presenting them forover 40 years, perhaps no two summer events are moreclosely associated with Old Westbury Gardens than ourPicnic Pops Concerts Series and the Long Island ScottishFestival and Highland Games.”

The Picnic Pops Concerts take place on five consecu-tive Wednesday evenings, beginning on July 11 and con-tinuing through August 8. Some regular concertgoershave been attending these concerts for years, enjoyingsummer evenings listening to a big band.

One old-time favorite, returning again this year, isVince Giordano and the Nighthawks. They will be per-forming at Old Westbury Gardens on July 18, playing

“When you do stuff, you’re doing it infront of my friends,” he says.

One of the Ducks most popular playersis second baseman Ray Navarrete. Hegives back to the community by visitingschools, hospitals and other charitablefunctions as well as participating in othercommunity activities. Originally fromNew Jersey, Navarrete, who has been withthe Ducks for seven years, has embracedLong Island and now calls Port Washing-ton his permanent home.

“We love it,” he says of Port Washing-ton. ‘It’s a great town.”

For someone who has reached the AAAlevel and been in the organizations of thePirates, Astros and Mets, Navarrete hasnone of the selfishness or self-importantqualities that some of today’s athletic starsdemonstrate. He is quite friendly, polite,sincere, and has a genuine regard for bothhis team and its fans.

“It’s been a great run,” he says of play-ing for the Ducks. “I’ve experienced somegreat moments.”

While playing for Hall of Fame catcherGary Carter in 2009, Navarrete wasnamed Atlantic League MVP. He has beennamed to the Atlantic League All-StarGame four times, hit three home runs in agame during the 2008 season and last yearwas a part of a Ducks team that won bothhalves of the Atlantic League’s LibertyDivision. Yet losing in the finals of thechampionship round last year still gnawsat him. So, on game days, he leaves hishouse around 1 p.m., grabs a quick lunch,works out in the weight room, meets withthe training staff, prepares for the gamewith his hitting coach and may even take ahot or cold whirlpool treatment as hestrives to make himself the best player hecan be and help his team finish the unac-complished business from last season.

“It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever dealtwith,” he says of last year’s loss in the At-lantic League championship, “And I’vebeen released by two major league teams.”

Fans attending a Ducks game are sure tosee quality baseball. Navarrete says thatthe players in the Atlantic League are thebest in baseball not playing in the majorsor at the AAA level.

Yet, in addition to the baseball, there aremany other attractions for fans. Walkingthrough Bethpage Ballpark during a game

provides the same feeling as being at acarnival, with a ballgame as one of the at-tractions. The ballpark is filled withyoungsters having a good time whileadults catch up in the festive environment.There’s a bouncy house for kids to jumparound in as well as a speed-pitch attrac-tion and a photo booth. Souvenirs areplentiful with duck bills that make aquacking sound being very popular withthe teams’ younger fans. QuackerJack, theteam’s mascot, is also a big part of theshow, doing his routine for the fans. Kidsare especially attracted to the mascot, asthey flock to him to take pictures or justshare a high five.

During the game, there are always pro-motional activities on the field for the fansto participate in between innings and evenwin prizes. Among these are mascotsdressed as hot dogs racing each otheracross the field, a tricycle race for kids, adance contest, a field goal kicking chal-lenge, a what’s-in-the-box guessing gameand, perhaps most humorously, the dizzybat race. In this contest, two fans spincontinuously around using a wiffle ballbat as a prop, and then try to race eachother while countering the dizzying ef-fects of the spinning. There were quite afew chuckles as the contestants tumbled tothe ground when trying to complete thisrace,

And what’s a baseball game withoutfood? In addition to the standard hot dogs,popcorn and French fries, there’s so manyscrumptious options, similar to whatwould be found at a carnival. Patrons canenjoy fried clam burgers, fried clam rolls,sausage, chicken fingers and – yes theyhave these – fried Oreo cookies. For thosewho prefer to not clog up their arteries,other choices are available such as theturkey wrap.

Located just north of exit 43A of theSouthern State Parkway in Central Islip,Bethpage Ballpark is a great way for afamily to spend a day or evening together,have some fun and not destroy a budget.Watching the plays that are made live andin person as opposed to on television of-fers a true perspective of how challengingthe game is and how gifted the athletesare. Baseball fans, both diehard and casu-al, are sure to have a good time.

And just for the record, the grass isgreen, the gloves are leather and the batsare wood.

admiration. “I think she is a tremendous actress, I read the bookand really liked it and I also saw her on Broadway. I had afriend who worked with her on her show who told me what yousee is what you get. She’s down-to-earth, honest and funny.She’s not a diva,” Ramirez explained. “He told me she reallytries to help other people on the show as they come on to dowell. She’s a team player. I just like her and she is absolutelygorgeous. Seeing her up close, she was just charming.”

Lucci is also very civic minded. One year, she helped out theGirl Scouts by speaking at a luncheon that raised money forthe organization. She also took on the school board when theywere going to drop German from the language department andwon, according to another guest who was effusive in praiseabout Lucci. It’s a quality that village resident John Rhein wasquick to note.

“[Garden City] needs treasures. It has iconic buildings, awonderful atmosphere and is a great drawing card for people.Garden City is a jewel on Long Island and it’s nice to havepeople like Susan Lucci and Nelson DeMille as inhabitants.They give [the village] panache,” Rhein pointed out. “I am alsoso glad she is so interested in the historic aspects of GardenCity. She has been able to lend her talent and her celebrity tothe cause of saving St. Paul’s, being a good friend of the vil-lage and a good booster.”

After the guests all left and the champagne and desserts weregone, Susan Lucci still had time to sit down with the Antonnewspapers to discuss her hometown and her future plans. De-spite being a lifelong resident, she’d never been in the A.T. Stew-art house, which had been moved from another location in thevillage. “It’s wonderful and it’s in such beautiful repair and I hadno idea what to expect, but it’s just great and to finally come inhere and make an appearance in my hometown is very special.”

Lucci had also done a book signing in Lord & Taylor inMarch, which also evoked fond memories of her childhood. “Ihave many memories of going to lunch there at the Bird Cagewith my mother. But this is the first time [I got to do somethinglike this] in the heart of the Garden City community. These peo-ple are neighbors and friends—parents of kids I went to schoolwith or whose children were raised alongside mine.”

Lucci had several opportunities to move to California for her

career, but opted not to do so. “I was honored to be asked to donetwork television, but we would have had to move our familyto California and my children were very little. I wanted to givethem a sense of roots and stability and this is where I grew up. Iknew what existed in this community, and as I said in my open-ing remarks I noticed that this was a mutigenerational town.[People have] roots here and that appealed very much to me.”

As for how the town has changed over the years Lucci hadthis observation, “The population is somewhat larger thanwhen I grew up here but I see a lot of the same faces, whichgives continuity to this town and the generations. I also seemore diversity in the town, which [is something] I embrace,which I think is always a good thing. I think it’s better in theclassroom for the children and it’s better for all of us living inthe community because we are all bound by that same love ofthe community, wanting to keep our homes beautiful and ourschools excellent.”

Lucci acknowledges having met many Garden City residentsin her effort to help save St. Paul’s. “I was asked to speak and Idid. I think it’s a landmark and a beautiful architectural featureof this community that is very branding to this community aspeople drive by it on Stewart Avenue. [St. Paul’s] is a gorgeousedifice and it would be a shame to have it torn down. I alsolove the parks and the green space. [Thankfully], there has al-ways been a movement to save those green spaces and parksand keep them beautiful.”

Now that Lucci’s show has ended she has moved on to newchallenges. She shot a pilot for a new series with DesperateHousewives producer Mark Cherry that has currently not beenpicked up by the networks. In the meantime, the multi-talentedactress will have a new show coming out in the fall that she’suniquely qualified to host.

“We have a brand-new primetime show coming out on theDiscovery ID Channel called Deadly Affairs. It is a dramatic re-enactment of crimes,” Lucci explained. “It’s about real-life loverelationships and crimes of passion, which I know a little bitabout from playing all those fictional stories as Erika [Kane].Now we get to do it from real [crimes] and explore them.”

music from the ’20s and ’30s,which should be familiar to fansof Laurel and Hardy or The Lit-tle Rascals. Performers at theother concerts are the HarlemRenaissance Orchestra on July11, the Hot Sardines on July 25,James Langton’s NY All StarBig Band on Aug. 1 and Zon delBarrio on Aug. 8. Admission is$10, $8 for those 62 and older

and free for those 17 andyounger who are accompaniedby an adult. Guests may bringblankets, chairs and picnics.

Another popular summer eventat the Old Westbury Gardens isthe Long Island Scottish Festival.This year, for the first time, itwill be held on two days, Aug. 25and 26. Both days will featureconcerts, the playing of bagpipes,

vendors selling Scottish fabrics,gifts, food, music, British autos,step dancing, dog agility demon-strations, and programs for kids.The Highland Games, includingthe caber toss will take place onthe first day, while a ScottishRegiment battle re-enactmentwill be held on the second day.

Traditionally, the most popularevent at the Highland Games isthe caber toss. A caber is essen-tially a tree, cut to a length of be-

tween 16 and 22 feet, trimmedand tapered with one end havinga smaller diameter than the other,weighing in at between 100 and180 pounds. The toss is judgedfor accuracy, not distance orheight. Balancing the caber bythe smaller end, the athlete at-tempts to toss it in a straightplane so that it lands on the largerend with the smaller end pointingdirectly upward. Barring a perfect(12 o’clock) toss, the judges

award points for throwing be-tween 9 and 3 o’clock, and forhighest degree of elevation.

One theory on the origin of thisunique sport suggests that Scot-tish warriors would toss trees toserve as temporary bridges oversmall streams.

General admission to this festi-val is $15. Senior admission is$12 while admission for thosebetween the ages of seven and 17is $7.

The playing of bagpipes is one of the attractions at the Long Island Scottish Festival, which will beheld this year on August 25 and 26. The Westbury House is in the background. Photo by Vince Kish

As we look back at our own familylives, how often have we heard,“Why is everyone congregating in

the kitchen?” As modern-day lifestylesare changing, we see entire householdsmoving much of their daily and specialoccasion activities out-of-doors while atthe same time, redefining the backyardpatio, as we once knew it.

“Our products run the gamut and in-clude a full line of round and square firepits in addition to outdoor fireplaces, out-door kitchens, grill and bar modules, apond-less waterfall and even an outdoorpizza oven,” says Charles H. Gamarekian,chairman/CEO of Cambridge Pavers Inc.

They have continued to freshen uptheir outdoor living product group eachseason through innovation, new productdevelopment, diversity and most impor-tantly, with quality. Many of the installa-tion conveniences associated with theseCambridge products have put professionalcontractors in a position to turn a home-owner’s wish list into real-life situationsand stay within budget.

Pre-cut Feature Is A PlusAll Cambridge outdoor-living kits are

both pre-cut and pre-packaged. This time-consuming effort on the company’s partwas initiated this year to speed-up the in-stallation process. It allows for increasedcost-efficiency, practically eliminates anychance for error and factors in value-added components important to the budg-et-conscious customer.

Decorator-Inspired Features And

Professional-Style InclusionsFireplaces and pizza ovens in a choice

of wallstone styles and colors can be or-dered with decorator-inspired, cast stonesurrounds in a natural bluestone or a warmchestnut hue. Pizza ovens, also available indifferent styles and wallstone colors, in-clude a care and cooking package.

Outdoor kitchen and grill modules alsoinclude stainless steel appliance packages,which, depending on what is chosen, arecomprised of a grill, rotisserie, sink andfaucet, cabinet access doors and more.The Cambridge Bar Module has a com-prehensively appointed bar center pack-age that puts drink preparation and otherconvenient features at your fingertips.

These kits also include polished granitecountertops.

No backyard gathering spot is truly up-to-date without an open-air room. Cam-bridge offers other low maintenance op-tions, also in ready-to-install, pre-pack-aged kits.

Sun or rain won’t cramp your style witha Cambridge pre-packaged pavilion — asubstantial and well-appointed structure,constructed of traditional building materi-als. Low maintenance materials are usedin all exposed surfaces and customers canselect either a cathedral or flat ceiling aswell as roofing and ceiling material.

Both the Cambridge pre-packaged per-gola and pavilion come with step-by-stepinstructions. Complete instructions are in-cluded with other products as well.

Conversation areas are critical to awell-designed patio. Perimeter sittingwalls such as a low, domino-style wallbuilt of Cambridge Olde English Wall canadd flexible, casual seating when needed.A pub-style table supported by a pedestalconstructed of hardscape material is an-other way of adding permanent seating.Instead of building one from scratch, con-sider a Cambridge patio pub & bistrotable, available in two wallstone stylesand lots of colors. Here too, absolutely nocutting is necessary.

Cambridge has a solution for privacyand security as well with their new pre-packaged garden gate kit. This all-inclu-sive product consists of an oiled, solidteak door and frame with a dramatic, 28-inch-diameter, circular opening at the top.Double-action hinges allow the gate toswing both ways, while a dead bolt latchprovides needed security. Consider thisitem to offer additional privacy for an out-door living space or just an attractivemeans of entry to an adjacent area of aproperty. The gate can be secured be-tween two columns on a perimeter wallbuilt from any Cambridge Wallstones.

Inside the home, ambient lighting, al-beit completely functional or not, is alsoimportant. It may be time to also rethinkyour landscape and hardscape lightingsince this category has also seen some im-provements. For example, Cambridgepaver, column, stair tread and wall lightsprovide both function and flair that fits al-most any hardscape design.
