Town plans meeting on Country Pointe

Oyster Bay Town Councilwoman Rebecca M. Alesia announces that the Town will host an informational meeting on Tuesday, September 20, to gather community input regarding the future use of parkland at the location of the recently-approved Country Pointe project. The meeting will take place at the Mid Island Y JCC, beginning at 7 p.m. “In connection with the approval of the Country Pointe at Plainview mixeduse development, the Town

is receiving donation of a 58-acre parcel at the south end of the site, located at the intersection of Round Swamp and Old Country Roads,” Councilwoman Alesia said. “Although many wide-ranging ideas have already been voiced for this parcel, no final decision has yet been made by the Town regarding its future use, and we are at the step of gathering community input to determine the best use of this land.” The Councilwoman noted that the meeting will start

with a brief presentation to describe the existing characteristics of the 58-acre parcel, followed by the opportunity for interested residents to share their suggestions and comments. “The Town is excited to enter into the next phase of this project, and we look forward to hearing the suggestions of our residents as to what they would like to see on this parcel,” Councilwoman Alesia said.

Registration for Workshop Enrichment Program The Town of Oyster Bay’s Cultural and Performing Arts Division (CAPA) of the Department of Community and Youth Services is offering a Workshop Enrichment Program for residents this fall. Registration for all applicants is currently underway with a deadline of September 23, Oyster Bay Town Councilman Joe Pinto announced. “The Fall Workshop Enrichment Program offers several excellent and educational programs that provide residents with the chance to pick up useful new talents and hobbies,” Councilman Pinto said. “Categories available for residents in the Fall Workshop Enrichment Program include courses in art, education, entertainment, fitness, music and more.” Councilman Pinto also advised residents to take careful notice of the locations of every workshop program listed on the Fall Workshop Enrichment Program brochure. There will be a wide range of courses for adults and children held at the Marjorie Post Park Community Center in Massapequa, the William P. Bennett Hicksville Community Center in Hicksville, and the Syosset-Woodbury Community Center throughout the season. While some workshops are held separately for children and adults, the Town will once again be offering special ‘Children and Caregiver’ workshops so that they can be enjoyed together. Workshops for adults include watercolor, oil & acrylic painting, drawing fundamentals, Zumba

fitness, and more. Highlights for children’s workshops include fun activities like Tuney Tots Little Kids Jamboree (Ages 6 months-24 months), Dancetime 1(students must be 3 years old by September 1), Dancetime 2 (students must be 4 years old by September 1), Jump Bunch Sports Activities (Ages 3-5 Years), Drama Kids (Grades K-3), Piano Adventures (Grades K-4), Drumming for Kids (Grades K-3), Guitar Kids (Grades 3-5), Mad Science (Grades 1-6), Brixology Lego Building (Grades 2-5) and Chess. Please note that Mad Science, Brixology and Chess are run by Mad Science of Long Island. When registering for either of these workshops, do not use the TOB workshop registration form. In order to register for Mad Science, Brixology or Chess you must contact Mad Science of Long Island directly by visiting their website at www.madscienceli.org or call 516-620-6768. “I highly encourage residents to register for these fun workshops,” Councilman Pinto said. “The program offers residents an avenue that is enjoyable for beginners to develop new skills, or for more experienced artists looking to sharpen old skills, while simultaneously having fun as well.” For more information on pricing and how to register for these great workshops being offered this spring by 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.

Special Selichot program at Jericho Jewish Center The Jericho Jewish Center will be inaugurating the High Holiday season this year in an unusual way, staging a reading of the award-winning contemporary play, The Gates Are Closing. On Saturday evening September 24 at 9:00 pm, preceding Selichot services, 10 members of the congregation will take the parts of a varied and compelling minyan of Jews in synagogue on Yom Kippur as they grapple with issues of identity, meaning, repentance and forgiveness. The award-winning play had its first stage reading at the Jewish Repertory Theatre in New York in May 1986 and since that time has been presented in hundreds of synagogues and college campuses from Brooklyn to Beijing, including a signed performance by Temple Beth Solomon of the Deaf in Arleta, California. Many rabbis and congregations have treasured the play over the years, including Rabbi Lawrence Kushner, who described it as “a drama of great religious insight and nuance, instigating probably the most thoughtfully lively High Holiday preparation our congregation ever had.” The lay leader of another congregation in South Florida reported afterwards, “We had no idea how the reading would be accepted. But for an hour and a half there was standing room only, no lighting, only one microphone, and other than the voices reading, only the sound of hearts pounding.” Another rabbi in New England found the play “highly evocative, astute and powerful as it weaves the familiar themes of Yom Kippur through the lives of rich and engaging characters in surprising and poignant ways. The play’s end (heralded by the sound of a shofar) left our congregation breathless.”

The playwright, Merle Feld, is also a widely published poet whose work frequently appears in anthologies and prayer books, including the new Conservative High Holiday Mahzor Lev Shalem and the Reform Movement Woman’s Torah Commentary. She is also the author of a popular memoir in poetry and prose, A Spiritual Life: Exploring the Heart and Jewish Tradition (SUNY Press, revised 2007) and a book of her poems, Finding Words (URJ Press, 2011). Feld has been moved and delighted that The Gates Are Closing, written early in her career, has retained its urgency and spiritual power for such a vast audience nationally and internationally. “It feels miraculous to me that every fall these characters come to life again-in Philadelphia and San Diego, Youngstown and Nashville, Virginia, Arizona, San Antonio, Australia, and London-and that these characters continue to provide a gateway in for Jews across the denominations who are searching for meaning.” She continue, “Often now when I visit a congregation as scholar-in-residence, someone will approach me and confide, ‘I played Becky when we did The Gates are Closing’ or ‘I played Murray,’ and then the story of why that had such meaning for her or him. What a privilege I’ve had, to share with so many in this deep way.” Join the Jericho Jewish Center on Saturday September 24 at 9:00 pm in the Jericho Jewish Center Sanctuary for the performance of The Gates are Closing and a brief discussion, to be followed by our Selichot Services at 11:00 pm.

Syosset welcomes back students

Following a day of faculty and staff preparation, the Syosset Central School District welcomed back students for the 2016-17 school year on Sept. 1. Throughout the district, students met their new teachers and classmates and were given an overview of the topics they will be learning this year, the procedures each class follows, and some new and exciting activities they can look forward to. At Berry Hill Elementary School, students arriving on the first day were greeted with signs held by their teachers, as the school song was played on a piano

placed just outside at the front entrance. Among the new beginnings at the school was newly appointed Principal Mary Kolkhorst. At South Grove Elementary School teachers, students and parents alike welcomed Mi Jung An as their new principal. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Thomas Rogers was delighted with opening day. “The feeling of positive energy on our opening day visits was infectious; radiating from smiles on the faces of children and grown-ups alike,” he said. “We wish everyone a healthy, productive and successful school year!”

KOHL’S CARES KEEPING KIDS

HEALTHY

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

Biking Albania: National Park of Butrint Provides Pathway into 5 Archaeological Epoques BY KAREN RUBIN

(I travel to Albania with BikeTours. com’s President Jim Johnson on a specially constructed “President’s Tour” itinerary that modifies the regular “Albania’s UNESCO Sites with Rivers, Valleys, and Gorges” biking trip. See columns 8/12, 8/19, 8/26, 9/2, 9/16) On this, the seventh day of our cycling through Albania (eighth day of our trip), we have our longest distance ride, at 70 km, but it is mostly downhill: just 725 meter gain in elevation and a total of 1285 meters drop, and mostly along the coast, giving us our first spectacular views of the Ionian Sea, with the Greek island of Corfu in the distance. But today’s attraction is an absolute highlight among the many fascinating places we have already visited in Albania: the National Park of Butrint is a 2000-year old Hellenic-Roman-Byzantine city, reclaimed from forest overgrowth and an earthen tomb by Italian archaeologists beginning in 1924. Indeed, Butrint is the most visited cultural tourist destination in Albania, and for good reason. The setting is exquisite, the ruins most impressive, and for me, the connection to Asclepius (the Greek God of Healing or more accurately the father of Medicine), and to Anthony and Cleopatra (defeated in the battle Actium nearby by Augustus who is immortalized with busts created during his lifetime which can be seen in the museum), makes this

View of the theater dedicated to Asclepius, god of healing, from the Hellenic period of the ancient city of Butrint © 2016 Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com place all the more profound. But to get there, we have a fantastic ride. After the past few days riding in the mountains (affording magnificent views), we reach the seacoast. Albania’s coastline extends over two seas: from the Adriatic Sea in the north to the Ionian Sea in the south, where we are. We start with a 45-minute transfer

in the van to Muzina Pass in the mountains that brings us to the seacoast. We start descending just before the turnoff to Saranda which is our ultimate destination today (we will double back to Saranda, a beach resort city, by the end of the day where we will overnight) and continue south toward the southernmost tip of Albania, near the Greek border.

Biking Albania: National Park of Butrint Provides Pathway into 5 Archaeological Epoques

Continued from page D1 site, though, we enjoy a terrific lunch just next door at the Livia Restaurant (named for Emperor Augustus’ wife, as I learn later in the museum at Butrint) – mussels, calamari, sea bass, dining outside under a canopy, across the road from the water. After lunch, we stroll into the National Park. Butrint’s history dates back to Greek times (in fact, this whole area was part of Greece), and was an important coastal city. Roman writer Virgil said the legendary founder of the city was the seer Helenus, a son of the King Priam of Troy who moved West after the fall of Troy. Greek Historian Dionysius of Halicarnasseus, as well as Virgil, in his epic poem “Aeneid”, wrote that Aeneas visited Bouthroton after he escaped the destruction of Troy. What is so fascinating is that there were five civilizations that occupied this town, and you can peel away the centuries and eras, one by one. The city was hidden underground until 1924 when Italian archeologists began to excavate. Most of what we see is thanks to the Italian Archaeological Mission, headed by Luigi Maria Ugolini, who worked for a decade in Butrint (1928-1939). What has been uncovered shows the mark of Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Venetian and Ottoman cultures and civilization, and the artifacts are presented in an astonishing museum. According to notes, Butrint (also called Buthrotum or Bouthroton) was originally within the region of Epirus, and one of the main centers of the Greek tribe of Chaonians who had close contacts to the Corinthian colony of

Unearthed ruins of the ancient city of Butrint © 2016 Karen Rubin/ goingplacesfarandnear.com Corcyra (Corfu), nearby. The earliest archaeological evidence of settled occupation dates between 10th and 8th centuries BC. The occupied original settlement likely sold food to Corfu and had a fort and sanctuary. It occupied a strategic position due to its access to the Straits of Corfu. The geographer Hecataeus of Miletus described Buthrotum as an important port and trading center on the main Adriatic waterway. Around 380 BC the ancient settlement was surrounded with defensive walls, fortified with a new 870 meters long wall, with five gates, enclosing an area of four hectares. By the 4th century BC it had grown in importance as a cult center, and included a sanctuary to Asclepius, the

Greek god of healing, on the southern slope of the Acropolis hill, an agora and a theater – there is even an inscription from the 4th century BC on one of the seas of the theater that credits donations of religionists that supported construction.

who lobbied against the plan in the Roman Senate. As a result, Buthrotum received only a small number of colonists. In 31 B C, Emperor Augustus, fresh from his victory over Mark Antony and Cleopatra at the battle of Actium mere meters away from here, renewed the plan to turn Buthrotum into a veterans’ colony. Under Emperor Augustus, the city, now known as Colonia Augusta Buthrotum, experienced its greatest development, doubling the size of the town – temples, fountains, baths (thermae), villas (private residences), a forum complex, and nyphaeum ( a monument consecrated to the nymphs, especially those of springs, typically natural grottoes, which were believed to be where local nymphs lived), a new water supply and a bridge linking the two banks of the Vivari canal. (We see these ruins clearly, and even the nyphaeum the mere thought of which had piqued our curiosity.) In the 3rd century AD, an earthquake destroyed a large part of the town. By the 6thcentury, it became the seat of a bishop and new construction included a large baptistery, one of the largest Paleochristian buildings of its type,

In 228 BC, Buthrotum (Bouthroton) became a Roman protectorate and later, in the 1st century BC, a part of the Roman province of Macedonia. In 44 BC, Caesar designated Buthrotum as a colony to reward soldiers who had fought with him against Pompey, naming in Colonia Julia Buthrotum. In what sounds like it could be ripped from the headlines of today, the local landholder Titus Pomponius Atticus objected to his correspondent Cicero

and a basilica. We see a portion of the gorgeous mosaic floor of the baptistery, laid out in eight rings with columns, which, we are told, is a rare treat and a bit of luck because the mosaic usually cannot be seen, kept under protective sand. But because they were in the process of changing out the sand, we get to see half of the floor exposed. So far, eight other churches have been uncovered, the most important of which is in Vrina Plain on the other side

those days, the earliest form of medicine involved spiritual healing. I am particularly fascinated with Asclepius, who I first encountered on the island of Epidaurus in Greece on a previous Biketours.com tour. Asclepius is regarded as the God of Healing, by virtue of being the son of Apollo and the human princess Coronis, but who incited the wrath of Zeus (who would have been Asclepius’ grandfather). Zeus struck Asclepius dead with a thunderbolt because Asclepius had the audacity of cheating death – Asclepius used his powers of healing to restore people to life, usurping Zeus’ power. To me, though, Asclepius is the first doctor, the first to use the scientific method – testing what worked and what did not; he kept notes and refined his technique. (The medical symbol still used today is the staff of Asclepius.) But in this period of time, “medicine” or “healing” was all wrapped up with spiritualism (faith). So, just as at Epidaurus, Butrint has a great amphitheater because Greeks believed in the connection between spiritual, emotional and mental health (theater, as well as athletics, were part of religious experience). The sick usually had to spend one or more nights in Asclepius’ sanctuary so that remedy for their ailment could be revealed in their dreams. Priests and physicians would perform rituals to

of the Vivari canal. Butrint followed the historical pattern seen in other Balkan cities, with the 6th to 7th centuries being a period of transformation of the Roman world into the Early Middle Ages. By the beginning of the 9th century, Butrint had become a small fishing settlement. Around 1807, in the outfall of the Vivari canal, Ali Pasha built a fortress to guard against French attacks coming from Corfu. After his death, Butrint fell under Ottoman Rule, until the Declaration of Independence in 1912. What is so impressive about Butrint is that it is at once a place of these extraordinary historical monuments that clearly depict these époques of civilization, but also the natural setting and landscape and the scale. Pathway Through Time Our visit begins at a Venetian tower built in the 15th and 16th century and a chapel of the 4th century BC dedicated to the god of Asclepius. Junid, our Biketours.com guide on this two-week cycling trip through Albania, leads us on a path through the woods to the 300-seat theater , a place where plays were performed and for public discussion (they still hold festivals here). Buthrotum was as much a healing place (or in modern terms, a spa retreat) as a religious center, dedicated to Asclepius, god of heating because in

Visiting the Basketball Hall of Fame

I always wanted to go to the basketball Hall of Fame (HOF) in Springfield, MA. Well, it all came to be this winter on Wednesday (February 23) when we (along with another couple) drove up to Springfield on Tuesday in weather that could best be described as a snowy-wintry mix. The 135 mile trip took 3 hours. What follows are my edited transcribed notes on the trip plus a few photos. 1. All basketball fans should visit the HOF. 2. All non-basketball fans should visit the HOF at least once. 3. If you plan to stay/sleep over, as opposed to a day trip, I suggest staying at the Hilton, which is immediately adjacent to the HOF. Also, consider the package deal that includes admission and breakfast for 2. It’s a beautiful hotel and worth the price. 4. The HOF is 3-stories high. The third floor contains photographs and writings of all the members of the HOF. I was shocked at some who are members and some of whom are not members. 5. One floor down is where you want to spend most of your time. Here, you will find lots of goodies: early history, old-timers, stars of yesteryear, today’s

heroes, the media, coaches, administrators, referees, the various conferences, etc. There were guides there to keep the conservation flowing. One guide - who never played basketball - had to be nearly 100 years old but lived in the area, was a riot. 6. A basketball court is located on the bottom/first floor. Your author’s 2-handed fowl shot of yesteryear went 10 for 25 despite shooting around 80% during earlier days. My low times have changed. Incidentally, your author was nicknamed “The Judge” during those earlier years because he spent so much time on the bench. 7. The first floor also housed a very spacious and comfortable theatre. My companions requested the movie on MJ although I would have preferred the one on Wilt. Overall, it was a unique experience and would give it a grade of B. Why not an A, you ask? A few things caught me wrong. On reaching the third floor, I came face-to-face with the likes of Rick Pitino, Jim Calhoun, John Calipari, John Thompson, Mike Kriyzewski, Jim Boeheim, Dean Smith, etc. – individuals who have, in some form or another, disgraced the game of basketball. Here are a few other sticklers. 1. There was a very small section in a

corner devoted to the NIT. Isn’t the NIT a major and integral part of the game’s history? How could this be? And not a mention of Jack Powers, who served as the Executive Director for 21 years. (Note: I have formerly nominated Jack for the HOF for the 2017 year.) I hear admission is very political; but Matt Zeysong (4132315523), the Hall’s curator and historian, has assured me that it is not. Is Jack a worthy candidate? You be the judge. He was a 4-year starter and star at Manhattan College, a 2nd team All-American, a coach at Manhattan College, and Athletic Director at Manhattan. But if he is to be inducted, it will be as an Administrator because of his involvement with the NIT. At the time of visiting the Hall, the NIT had been around for 74 years. There have been countless games, innumerable players and coaches, and (of course) millions of fans. It has endured wars, scandals, and NCAA expansion to continue showcasing some of the finest teams, coaches, and players that college basketball has to offer. It has, however, fallen on hard times as of late. Today’s NIT is a men’s college basketball tournament that is now owned and operated by the NCAA. The idea of crowning a national

champion began to surface among the New York City sportswriters, initiated by the late Irving Marsh of the Herald Tribune and the late Everett Morris of the Times. In 1938, the idea became a reality when 6 teams were brought into the old Garden at 49th Street and 8th Avenue to find out who was the best in the land and subsequently being crowned NIT champion. Enter the NCAA the next year. “Many thought that when the NCAA Tournament later expanded its field to 64 teams, the NIT would just go away. But that did not happen. The NIT presently provides a much needed opportunity to programs that are on the upswing, to clubs that were disappointed by the NCAA selection committee, and to teams that had successful regular seasons but were upset in conference tournament play,” explained Powers, who—as mentioned earlier--ran the NIT for 21 years. No discussion of the NIT would be complete without a discussion of the NIT’s battle for survival between the original NIT and the NCAA. In 2005, the NCAA ultimately purchased 10-year rights to the NIT from the MIBA for $56.5 million in order to settle an antitrust lawsuit spearheaded by See page D7

Social Security Facts and Figures BY TOM MARGENAU

If you are doing any kind of research into Social Security issues, the Social Security Administration’s office of Research, Statistics, and Policy Analysis produces a plethora of publications covering almost every conceivable Social Security-related topic. Admittedly, some of them are only for serious scholars or historians. Here are a couple of sample titles: “Social Security and the Emigration of Immigrants” or “Income of Urban Families and Individuals in Single Family Households.” And here is a real page-turner: “Old Age Insurance for Agricultural Workers in Western Europe.” But they also produce some more mainstream publications that I, and many other researchers, use all the time. One little booklet that I find very helpful and informative is called “Fast Facts and Figures About Social Security.” It is filled with little snippets of fascinating information. (I will admit that the fact that I find Social Security data so interesting is an indication that I lead a very boring life!) Anyway, with apologies to my readers, I will share some of the booklet’s interesting numbers, starting with the first page: --65.1 million people receive benefits from programs administered by SSA. --5.4 million people were newly awarded benefits in 2015. --61 percent of aged Americans get at least half their income from Social Security. --55 percent of adult Social Security beneficiaries are women. --53.9 was the average age of disabled beneficiaries in 2015. On another page, I discovered this. There were 59,963,000 people getting Social Security benefits in 2015. (The 65.1 million people cited above includes folks who get Supplemental Security Income payments. SSI is a federal welfare program, funded out of general tax revenues, which is administered by SSA.) Here is a breakdown of Social Security benefit categories: --40,089,000 retired workers -- 67 percent. --2,984,000 spouses and children of retirees -- 5 percent. --8,909,000 disabled workers -- 15 percent. --1,897,000 spouses and children of disabled workers -- 3 percent. --6,084,000 survivors or deceased workers -- 10 percent. Yet another page provides information about the aggregate income sources of elderly Americans, comparing data from 1962 and 2014. Here is an excerpt of the data. (For each income source, the percentage indicated tells you to what degree that income makes up the budget of all American retirees.) --Social Security -- 31 percent in 1962 and 33 percent in 2014.

--Earnings -- 29 percent in 1962 and 32 percent in 2014. --Asset income -- 16 percent in 1962 and 10 percent in 2014. --Government pensions -- 6 percent in 1962 and 8 percent in 2014. --Private pensions: 3 percent in 1962 and 13 percent in 2014. --Other income: 15 percent in 1962 and 4 percent in 2014. There is another table in the booklet that I always find a little disturbing. It shows how much people rely on Social Security for their livelihood. --For 61 percent of seniors, Social Security represents at least half their total income. --And for 33 percent of seniors, Social Security represents 90 percent or more of their income. In other words, there are millions of senior citizens in this country who are essentially living on their Social Security check. It was never supposed to be that way. From the very beginning of the program, people were told that Social Security should be only one part of their retirement nest egg. But the statistics show that a lot of people didn’t get that message. Or, for a variety of possible reasons, circumstances just led them to rely too heavily on their Social Security checks to get by in retirement. Another page in the booklet is labeled “Women beneficiaries.” It charts how women’s status as workers and retirees has grown over the years. For example, in 1940, only 12 percent of all Social Security recipients getting their own retirement checks were women. By 2015, half of all Social Security retirement beneficiaries were women. Another section of the booklet charts the number of new claims for benefits processed by SSA each year -- in this case, going back to 1975. In that year, 1.5 million people signed up for retirement benefits for the first time. In 2015, that number had jumped to almost 3 million -- an indication that baby boomers are indeed rapidly turning into senior boomers. And as those boomers get older, their bodies are breaking down --as evidenced by new claims for disability benefits. There were 592,000 such claims in 1975 and 741,000 disability claims last year. Although surprisingly, that is down from a peak of just over 1 million disability claims in 2011. So those are just a few of the many fascinating facts contained in “Fast Facts and Figures About Social Security.” You can find it and hundreds of other publications at socialsecurity. gov.

Junid notes the odd position and how the boulder stands out from the rest – an indication that the stone may have been taken from a temple (but that doesn’t answer why it was positioned too low for a door frame). Remarkably, only half of Butrint has been excavated so far. “They want to leave something for next generation of archeologists,” Junid tells us. Finally we come to the Butrint Museum, situated in the Acropolis castle (and what a setting this affords, with a view out to the water). The museum was established in the 1950s to house the finds from Italian archeologists who first excavated 192840. In 1988, the museum was enlarged, and in 2005, it was completely renovated, updated and reopened under the aegis of the Albania Institute of Archeology, Butrint Foundation, AG Coventis Foundation, Packard Humanities Institute and Butrint National Park.

I’m sure you understand the stress that entails when selling/purchasing a home. Barbara was able to reduce my level of anxiety in every situation and, most importantly, I knew that I could count on her. I strongly believe that a real estate agent can make or break your experience – both emotionally and financially. We are so grateful to have met Barbara. I often joke with her and tell her she should be a life coach as she is able to resolve problems quickly. She is truly ONE OF A KIND.
