Town Offers New Cultural and Arts Programs

Registration now open for spring CAPA workshops in Massapequa.

The Town of Oyster Bay is offering a series of new cultural and performing-arts workshops this spring.

Registration is now open for the town's spring season workshops, presented by the Cultural and Performing Arts Division. Registration is open through March 1.

“This spring, this program features many new workshops in a wide variety of categories, such as arts, education, entertainment, fitness, music and more," said Councilwoman Rebecca M. Alesia of Plainview. "While separate workshops are held for both children and adults, the town will once again be offering special ‘Children and Caregiver’ workshops so that they can be enjoyed together.”

A range of courses will be offered at the Marjorie R. Post Community Center in Massapequa, the North Massapequa Community Center, Syosset-Woodbury Community Center, as well as the William P. Bennett Hicksville Community Center.

Some of the workshops include zumba fitness, total body sculpt, golf fitness, kickboxing fitness, the art of fen shui, dahn yoga, as well as numerous crafts and art courses.

Childrens' workshops include piano lessons (ages 8-11,) project fashionista for budding designers (ages 10-15,) magic 101 (ages 8-12,) mad science (grades K-6,) as well as others.

“These workshops represent an opportunity for residents, both young and old, to hone a new skill, while simultaneously having fun,” Alesia said.  “These workshops are not only a chance to broaden one’s horizons but also avenue through which both young and old will can develop a new talent and or sharpen a pre-existing skill.”

For more information and to register for these great workshops being offered this spring through the CAPA Division of the Department of Community and Youth Services, visit the Town of Oyster Bay website, oysterbaytown.com, to print out a mail in registration form, or call 797-7900.

when you say elite do you mean the hard working people who have money? it's a matter of labels. youRead More call them elite..they call themselves hard workers. yes, some inherit money. but most of us work for it.

No, it has nothing to do with how hard you work. It's just that the elite one percenters are treatedRead More differently when they run afoul of the laws in this country. No one has been jailed for the corporate malfeasance that resulted in the financial crash of '08, in spite of the rules that were ignored or broken. Too big to fail is the order of the day. Meanwhile, petty frauds committed by poor and middle class are prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Two Americas. The rule of law, unevenly applied, whether by race, or class, or economic station will result in the unraveling of society. We may well be seeing the beginnings of that now, as we've entered a new gilded age, where new robber barons are allowed to run roughshod over the lower classes. The very ideals of America are at stake, and we are letting them slide away.

Will the new Massapequa station platform be covered end-to-end as it is now? If it will only beRead More partially covered, like Seaford station, there are going to be a lot of cold, wet, unhappy commuters.

Mr. Coyote, The design plans only call for a canopy over certain parts of the station platform, likeRead More almost all of the other stations along the branch. The canopies will be primarily over the staircases, elevator, waiting room, and one other small section on the middle section of the platform between the elevator and east escalator.
