Folio Awards with the Fair Media Council!!! Congratulations to all the winners (link below). This event is always insightful, with excellent networking.

This year, the fascinating stories and reflections from keynote journalists were supplemented with a bit of levity, thanks to Lifetime Achievement Award winner David Winzelberg and his Presenter, Gary Lewi.

In this, Gary offered gifts to the other Lifetime Achievement Awardees. Sam Champion received “Doppler Socks,” and Jennifer McLogan got her very own Sherman Tank. For David, he invoked surprise guest “Robert Moses,” for some witty repartee.

At one point “Moses” quipped that something was “a bridge too far.”

“A bridge too short,” Gary retorted, telling off-Island visitors he would explain/advise later. Yes, it was that kind of clever cornballery. David even shared his notes.

It was good to laugh (or groan) a little, as it’s tough to be a real journalist these days. Grateful to all keeping at it, standing up for and supporting it, and reminding us what that really means.

It is fundamentally important, after all.

Our annual Northport Shopping Guide! By way of several curious twists of fate, a few years ago we of The Firefly ended up with the responsibility of hosting the beloved, organically grown, gloriously tacky, decades-old display of local talent that is the Nothport Leg Lamp Lighting.

This little review of local shops is one of the ways we thank the neighbor merchants, who are themselves central to this Small Business Saturday affair, and without whom the event could never happen. Please check them out! It’s a great way to plan a great day!

How one village gets lit, including a Shopping Guide starring the merchants who light the Northport Leg Lamp!

After a glorious groundbreaking followed by a devastating fire, just in time for Nikola Tesla’s 170th birthday, The Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe will finally open the doors of the first publicly accessible building: The Sayan Center.

First though, a night at the pub on June 10th. Last one sold out. Get tix now! See article for details.

If you are a member of the Cinema Arts Centre, you get a discount on the CSA I mentioned yesterday. In fact, Green Thumb CSA reps will be at the Centre signing folks up from 3:30-7:30 today. My son likes to take it a step further and really enjoys the preview club he writes about below. Love the whole place. What a treasure…

Twice a month, the Cinema Arts Centre holds the stuff dreams are made of: A guaranteed packed house. Around 150 Long Islanders pack their largest room, eagerly anticipating a mystery picture. Nobody there knows what will be shown. First you pay, then as you walk into the theater, they reveal.

They’ll be at the Cinema Arts Centre tomorrow afternoon signing folks up. You can also call or email to get on the list. Veggie pickups start in June!
