MAKING STRIDES AGAINST BREAST CANCER

BY GARY SIMEONE

The Division Avenue High School cheerleaders in the Levittown School District attended the annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk, sponsored by the American Cancer Society, held at Jones Beach on Oct. 15.

Town preschool programs plan Open Houses

Town of Oyster Bay residents who are interested in enrolling their children in a Pre-School Program are invited to attend an open house at one of the Town’s two pre-schools, located in Woodbury at the Syosset-Woodbury Community Park and in Massapequa at Marjorie R. Post Community Park, Town Councilwoman Michele M. Johnson announced. Parents are welcome to visit our facilities and learn more about this popular program. The Pre-School Program is for children between the ages of three and four years old. The Town will host two open

houses beginning with the Syosset-Woodbury Community Park (located on 7800 Jericho Turnpike, Woodbury) on Monday, November 14, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The second open house will be held in the pre-school located in Marjorie R. Post Community Park (located on 451 Unqua Road, Massapequa), and will be on Thursday, November 17, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. “As the mom of young children, I know how important the early years of a child’s life can be in their development for the future,” Councilwoman Johnson said. “The Town’s Pre-School Program offers

a positive environment for each student to help and encourage their love of learning. Teachers focus on making learning and the social experience of the Pre-School Program fun for all children in an effort to make the first years of their education all the more enjoyable.” For more information on the Town’s Pre-School Program, contact the Town of Oyster Bay Department of Community and Youth Services at 797-7900. For further information on the Town and all Town programs, visit the Town’s website at www.oysterbaytown.com.

The site cleanup at 230 Duffy Avenue has been an ongoing process and the New York State DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) is accepting comments from the public on its proposed remediation. The 6.67 acre site was formerly occupied by Amperex Electronics Corporation, which manufactured electrical tubes and now is the subject of an environmental contamination probe. “The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is currently conducting a 45-day public comment period, which runs through November 28 on the proposed remedy for 230 Duffy Avenue in Hicksville,” said Project Manager at the Division of Environmental Remediation , John Sheehan. “The DEC will conduct a careful review of all of the comments received during the public comment period.” The Electronics Corporation’s plant which closed in the early 90’s had used chemical cleaning, heat trading, metal and glass working, cathode coating and metal plating in the manufacturing process according to the DEC. The main site feature includes a 122,900 square foot one and two story building with an outlying asphalt parking area with limited grass coverage. Follow up tests in the area were conducted by the DEC and State Department of Health and it was concluded that “the site posed a significant threat due to elevated levels of contaminants in groundwater and soil vapor.” Testing at the site included a geophysical investigation (test pits,) soil investigation, groundwater investigation and soil vapor investigation. After the public comment period has concluded the DEC will consider all comments and ultimately issue a final decision document. The NYS Department of Health must confer with the final decision. The final remedial work plan and decision document will be made available to the public. The detailed draft remedial work plan is currently available for review by the public at the reference desk of the Hicksville Public Library.

Small business owner raises funds for charities

Allstate Agency Owner Marc Sacco recently helped raise awareness locally for two important causes to him: Multiple Sclerosis and Cerebral Palsy. This summer, Marc Sacco sponsored rest tents at Walk MS: 2016 at Jones Beach and Bike MS: East End Ride. Both events were held by the Long Island Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. In the past two years alone, the Marc Sacco Agency has raised over $10,000 for the 100-mile East End Ride. In addition to sponsoring Walk MS and Bike MS, Marc Sacco was a

gold sponsor at the Cerebral Palsy Association of Nassau County’s Taste & Toast the Town event that took place at the Chateau Briand. Sacco also sits on the Taste & Toast the Town Committee. “Understanding the impact these organizations have on local families opened my eyes and encouraged me to want to not only help raise awareness, but also funding to further their efforts,” said Sacco. “To go out outside of your comfort zone, and try to make a change in someone else’s life is fulfilling and truly rewarding.”

First graders learn Pumpkin Math

A trip to Levittown’s Gardiners Avenue Elementary School’s pumpkin patch, sponsored by the PTA, resulted in Tamara Vining’s first-grade students’ participation in various, funfilled pumpkin math activities. After selecting their colorful orange gourds, the students sat down to work by predicting whether their pumpkin would float or sink in a tub of water.

They also measured their pumpkins with string and unifix cubes, recorded their answers on worksheets, and counted the number of veins or lines on their pumpkins. Each of these activities reminded the students that Halloween is just around the corner. Photos courtesy of the Levittown School District

During a pumpkin math activity, Gardiners Avenue Elementary School first-grade students Robert Ruocchio and Sophia Meslin experimented whether their pumpkins will sink or float.

BY BOB MORGAN, JR.

This is written at Heathrow Airport and on a British Airways flight (excellent service, even in coach), after a short visit to London. It’s always very enjoyable to travel to the British capital, a very civilized and interesting place. The food in London has greatly improved from the fish and chips days of 25 years ago, although Indian cuisine still remains as a reliable standby. And there's nothing like having a pint in one of London's oldfashioned pubs. Following the Brexit vote to withdraw Britain from the European Union, the exchange rate between the United States dollar and British pound has become considerably more favorable to American travelers, so London is much more affordable. Speaking of Brexit, since the United States presidential election is upon us, it may make sense to see what we can learn from the surprise British vote for Leave in the context of our own elections and Donald Trump's underdog quest for the presidency. I wrote about this briefly after the June vote, but here is a refinement of my thinking. Those advancing the vote to leave the European economic union advanced a number of themes. There was a belief that Britain was losing its economic independence by overregulation from Brussels. There was a suspicion of trade agreements that were perceived as causing British workers to lose good jobs. Another important issue was immigration, both concern about the free movement of workers from within the economic union and a fear that Western Europe, and indeed Britain, were about to be overrun by waves of Middle Eastern immigrants. There are obvious clear parallels between these concerns and many of the themes advanced by Donald Trump in the United States. Of the last 13 polls prior to Brexit, as compiled by the Financial Times, 8 predicted that the Remain side would prevail, 4 predicted Leave, with one tie. Across the 13 polls, there was an average margin for the Remain side of about 2 points. The conventional wisdom was that

Remain would win the vote and the allegedly smart money reflected in the betting pools made Remain as a 3-1 wagering favorite. Someone forgot to tell the British voters. Leave won by a 52-48 margin, making the poll average wrong by a rather hefty 6 points. While prosperous London voted to stay in the European Union, as did nationalist minded Scotland, Englanders living outside the capital region, often in areas buffeted by layoffs and unemployment, voted solidly for Leave. A possible explanation for the incorrect polling is that a Leave vote was politically incorrect and a number of poll respondents, particularly in telephone surveys, did not want to tell the surveyor of their preference. This is not to predict that Mr. Trump is the likely winner on November 8 or that the current majority of national polls showing him trailing substantially (although 3 polls have the race basically tied) are necessarily incorrect, but the Brexit experience teaches that polling can be skewed. As for the state polling, Mr. Trump is also likely trailing, but it does not take much imagination to envision a path to victory. If he can hold the states that Mitt Romney won in 2012 (including North Carolina), that would give him 206 of the needed 269 or 270 electoral votes (a tie would be decided by the House). Then he needs to pick up Iowa and Ohio (narrowly ahead) and Florida (narrowly behind), which would get him 259 votes. At that point, Mr. Trump likely must garner 10 or 11 votes from the following states: Wisconsin (10 votes), Colorado (9), Nevada (5), New Hampshire (4) or Maine (1 or 4, splits vote by congressional district). Right now Mr. Trump doesn’t get there, but a general shift to him of 2 or 3 points in the last few days, or a polling error of that magnitude, would make things interesting indeed. Don’t tell British voters (or bookies) that things like that can’t happen.

School tax bills being prepared Oyster Bay Town residents are reminded that the First Half of the 201617 School Tax Levy is due on October 1st, but can be paid without penalty through November 10th. Please be certain to sign your check, and make it payable to James J. Stefanich, Receiver of Taxes. Indicate your property’s S.D. Code, Section, Block, Lot and Phone number on the check. “By law, a taxpayer has a 40-day penalty free period from the date the tax is due during which payment may be made without penalty,”Receiver Stefanich explained. “After the 40 days, a one percent penalty is added for each month the tax remains unpaid, retroactive to October 1st.” “Tax Bills are expected be mailed in the beginning of October, after the collection warrant’s information is processed, verified and certified as correct by the Receiver’s Office.” “Residents can pay in person, by either cash or check, at the Tax Office, Oyster Bay Town Hall West, 74 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay, or by check only at the Receiver of Taxes Office, Town Hall South, 977 Hicksville Road, Massapequa. Our office in Town Hall South can be reached by the rear entrance of the building. In addition, the Hicksville Annex in the TOB Parking Structure, 55 Duffy Avenue, Hicksville, and will be open to accept

payments by check only, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. on, November 2, 3, 4, 7, 9 and 10. When paying the tax bill in person, taxpayers are reminded to bring the entire tax bill with their payments.” “Residents who prefer to mail in their payments should send them to the Office of the Receiver of Taxes, 74 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay, N.Y. 11771-1539. Payments being made by mail should include the first half stub. Residents should NOT write on, fold, staple or otherwise deface the tax stub as it can cause the computer system to reject the payment.” “Taxpayers also have access to the 2016-17 School tax information on our online system via a link on the Town website, www.oysterbaytown.com. Residents may view current tax bills, print out a hard copy, or pay taxes with an ACH check payment or credit card. Please be aware there is a service fee for paying taxes online (Town of Oyster Bay receives no portion of fee).” Receiver Stefanich reminds residents that school taxes are set by their local school districts, and the Town of Oyster Bay is not involved in that process. Any questions related to school tax rates and amounts should be addressed to the resident’s school district. The telephone number for each school district is printed on the front of the school tax bill.

New Era of Luxury American River Cruising Opens with Launch of French America Line’s Louisiane

French America Line’s newly launched flagship, Louisiane. Louisiane, an intimate riverboat for just 150 guests, has begun her inaugural year sailing America’s rivers; 2017 cruise tours start March 4, 2017 BY KAREN RUBIN

NEW ORLEANS - A new era of boutique American river cruising has opened with the launch of French America Line’s 75-stateroom flagship, Louisiane. Formerly the Columbia Queen, riverboat has undergone a multimillion dollar refurbishment to reflect a subtle but elegant Frenchinspired ambience to embrace the rich history of the areas she sails that were once known as French America. The ship brims with exquisite French style and the romantic joie de vivre of her home

port of New Orleans. Inaugural sailings have already commenced. The ship accommodates a maximum of 150 guests in 75 suites and staterooms and a crew of 64 for sailings that celebrate regional cultural influences in food, music and history. The Lousiane’s small size allows her to access historic river ports on five American rivers that larger ships cannot navigate. This creates an opportunity to see and experience ports that haven’t been accessed by a U.S. river ship in more than a decade.

“We designed Louisiane to embody superb river experiences, including exploring many diverse traditions on our country’s waterways that were influenced by la belle France during the colonization of America. It’s a wonderful narrative and quite unique to what’s currently available, offering the highest level of service and amenities comparable to that found on the rivers of Europe,” said Christopher Kyte, Chairman, French America Line. “We also believe that the integrity of the company to whom you trust your vacation should be reflected in our fare structure. Therefore, we guarantee that we will not artificially inflate our prices and then lower prices as the sailing date

G O I N G P L A C E S N E A R A N D F A R

approaches. You can book early with utmost confidence that you are receiving the best price available, as our fares remain the same from the moment they are created until the moment the vessel sails. That is the French America Line promise,” said Kyte. “To set a new standard for sophisticated travelers, we offer a variety of cruise lengths to suit any schedule with inspired itineraries that visit a waterfront tapestry of charming towns, villages and grand cities. We hope to capture your heart with the finest regional French, Southern and continental cuisine afloat by Regina Charboneau, our award-winning Chef de Cuisine, See page D2

Being “Nefariously Wicked” on Halloween!

People act differently on Halloween, I’ve noticed that over the years. They get scared and spooked very easily and sometimes just the sight of a ghost or a goblin is enough to get them jittery. Personally, I find the holiday pretty exciting, amusing even. I like seeing people dressed up in various costumes and sometimes I am amazed at their creativity. Witches look so lifelike they are apt to frighten little children and Frankenstein costumes seem so scary with their yellowish-green flesh, ragged clothing and metal bolts in their necks. As kids we pulled a few different pranks on Halloween – enough to make the holiday fun. We did some innocent things, like putting shaving cream on trees and bushes. It was all pretty harmless and the next autumn rain washed it all away. Nothing was as bad as the time my older brother, Peter, who was nine, scared my five-year-old brother, Phil, silly with his tall tales and his pranks that weren’t so innocent but instead made Phil go batty for days. Every strange noise unnerved him and my family said that he kept looking up at the attic for days afterwards. Early on Halloween morning – really early, around 3 a.m. – Phil was awakened by the sound of some strange noises coming from the attic which was directly over

his bedroom. It turned out that Peter went upstairs and very methodically started making a whole bunch of noises that got Phil’s attention. Peter dropped some heavy books on the floor, and that noise is what woke up Phil. He looked up at the ceiling quizzically. After a few minutes Peter took a large rake and dragged it slowly across the floorboards of the attic. To Phil, it sounded tortuous. That scraping sound made Phil really wonder what was going on up there. He also wondered who – or what – might be causing it. Usually Phil slept like a rock but not that night. Phil’s curiosity really turned to fear when he started hearing some loud stomping sounds. Peter had gotten a pair of our Dad’s work boots and stomped around in them. Phil couldn’t imagine who would be walking up in the attic on Halloween – unless it might be a ghost! Too afraid to get out of bed and explore, Phil pulled the covers up over his head and hoped those noises would just go away. After a few minutes Peter grabbed a handful of coins then dropped them onto the floor. He scattered some more coins on the floor, slowly, and smirked to himself. Then Peter dropped another pile of books with a thud. An eery silence ensued then Peter stomped around in those work boots. He waited about 20 minutes then

Peter picked up some balloons, snatched a pin and slowly popped about three of them. Phil was beside himself but he figured it was Halloween so all of the ghosts must be coming out. He thought about telling Mom and Dad what was going on but he was too scared to even get out of bed. Phil thought he was going batty that Halloween. Truly batty. Looking back, and hearing the story after the fact, it was pretty funny. But going through it, Phil was scared. Peter’s pranks weren’t over. Up in the attic, Peter grabbed a 10-lb. bag of peat moss and dragged it slowly over the floorboards. Waiting about five minutes, he dropped some more coins. Peter almost laughed out loud but somehow he contained himself. Figuring the fun was almost over, he picked up a flashlight, opened the attic door and started to head downstairs. At the same time, Phil had gathered together all of his courage and headed up the attic stairs with a flashlight in his hand. He walked hesitantly but still, he was determined to find out what was going on in the attic. As Phil headed upstairs, Peter headed down the stairs and shined his flashlight right into Phil’s eyes. Jumping back, Phil managed to stay on the steps but screamed. His piercing scream startled Peter and woke up the whole house at 4

a.m. My parents asked what was going on and now Peter was laughing hysterically. Peter said, “Maybe our attic is full of ghosts!” Dad told Peter to knock it off and Peter reluctantly said okay. Once Peter came clean and revealed himself as the Halloween prankster, Phil was angry but actually relieved to know who and what had been causing all of that noise. He got even angrier at Peter, however, when Peter offered Phil an owl-flavored ice cream cone to celebrate the holiday, then a bowl of toad stew. Phil kept muttering that Peter was a demon and both Mom and Dad overheard him. My parents told Peter to cut out the Halloween references and Dad told Phil to stop muttering under his breath about demons or anything else. That prompted Peter to start calling Phil “mutterin’ Phil” and Dad said he didn’t want to hear any of that talk. Dad added that he didn’t want Peter committing any more nefarious activities - like pretending to be a ghost in the attic and the kids burst out laughing because they had no idea what “nefarious” meant. It sounded kind of mysterious, like Einstein’s theory of relativity. Dad rolled his eyes and hesitated, then Mom said, “Peter, stop being so wicked.” Peter finally stopped with the antics and the pranks but he didn’t want to See page D7

Commonly Asked Social Security Questions BY TOM MARGENAU I’ve just looked back on my columns for the past several weeks and noticed I went off on some esoteric subjects. I write those kinds of columns because I dread going over the same Social Security topics over and over again. But I know from readers’ emails that people don’t mind repetition. In fact, they often write something similar to this comment: “I know you’ve covered this issue many times in the past, but now it finally applies to me and I’m paying attention this time!” So, today I’m going to give short and snappy answers to as many commonly asked questions as I can squeeze into my allotted space. Q: How come I’m not getting half of my husband’s Social Security? A: A wife gets half of her husband’s Social Security if she waits until age 66 to claim those benefits. If she takes benefits before age 66, they are reduced, down to about 30 percent at age 62. Q: Can I take reduced benefits on my husband’s Social Security at 62 and then switch to my full benefits at 66? A: No. If you file for any Social Security before age 66, you MUST file for your own reduced retirement benefits first. Then they will look to your husband’s account to see if you can get any additional reduced spousal benefits on his record. Q: My husband died when I was 58. I’m now 62 and plan to retire. Can I take his Social Security now and save my own until later? A: Yes, you can. The difference between your situation and the one described in the previous question is that you are a widow. And widows can take reduced benefits on one record and then later switch to full benefits on another record. So, for example, you will get about 82 percent of your husband’s benefits now. Then at 66, you can switch to 100 percent of your own. Or you can wait until 70 and get 132 percent. Q: I am 82. My 86-year-old husband just died. I get $1,800 per month in my own Social Security. He was getting $2,100. I was told I will only get $300 in widow’s benefits. Why can’t I get his full Social Security and my own? After all, we both worked and earned our benefits. A: The law has always said that a Social Security retirement benefit offsets any spousal benefits due. So you are technically due $2,100 in widow’s benefits, but that amount must be offset by your own $1,800 retirement check, leaving $300 in widow’s payments. Think of it this way. If you could get both your own AND your husband’s Social Security, then why can’t everyone else get their spouse’s

Social Security? Why can’t I get my Social Security and also get husband’s benefits on my wife’s record. And for that matter, why can’t she get her own Social Security and get wife’s benefits on my record? And why can’t Warren Buffet get his own Social Security and get husband’s benefits on his wife’s record? And why can’t Mrs. Buffet get her own Social Security and also wife’s benefits on Warren’s record. If they started paying spousal benefits to everyone, the system would go belly up tomorrow! Q: My husband died 20 years ago. Back then, my children and I got survivor benefits on his Social Security record. Those benefits ended about 10 years ago when my youngest turned 18. I am now 60. Can I get regular widow’s benefits now? Or did my prior eligibility mess that up? A: Nothing got messed up by your prior entitlement to what were called “mother’s benefits.” You can get widow’s benefits now if you meet all the eligibility rules. In a nutshell, you’d have to be unmarried and not working, or working and making less than about $16,000 per year. As explained in a prior answer, if you have your own Social Security, you could take reduced widow’s benefits now and save your own until a later date. Q: My husband and I will both turn 66 next month. We are still working. Can we both “file and restrict”? In other words, can I file for wife’s benefits on his record while he files for husband’s benefits on my record? And then we each can save our own benefits until age 70 to get the higher rate. A: Nope. You can’t do that. Only one of you can “file and restrict.” Or to put that another way, one of you would have to actually file for your own Social Security retirement benefits so that the other one can then claim spousal benefits and save his or her own retirement benefits until age 70. Who does what depends on the money amounts involved. Q: My mother recently died. My dad died many years earlier. I called Social Security to get the $255 burial benefit. They said I’m not eligible. Seems awful chintzy of my government to deny these benefits my mother worked all her life to earn? A: You may remember that back during the so-called “conservative revolution” in the 1980s, Congress was looking for all kinds of ways to cut government spending. As part of that effort, they nibbled at the edges of Social Security. One of the laws they passed said that the little $255 death benefit, formerly payable to just about any surviving relative, is now only payable to spouses.

Well, I’ve run out of room, but I still have more to go. Next week, expect more common questions and quick,

but I hope helpful, answers. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer.

Nassau County Museum of Art Exhibitions Celebrate Century of Photography’s Masters

From November 19, 2016 to March 5, 2017, all of Nassau County Museum of Art’s galleries are devoted to the art of photography. On view in the Main Galleries on the first floor are two exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Kalamazoo Institute of the Arts (KIA), Kalamazoo, Michigan: Ansel Adams: Sight and Feeling and Light Works: 100 Years of Photos. On view in the Second Floor Galleries is New Photos: Long Island Collects, important photographic works of the last half century from private Long Island art collections. Ansel Adams: Sight and Feeling: Ansel Adams’ ability to create photographs with a remarkable range and subtlety of tones is legendary. Yet for all his technical mastery, Adams recognized that what made a compelling photograph was far more elusive. This exhibition of Adams’ photographs from the KIA collection suggests how his intuitive and emotional response to the landscape resulted in powerful and enduring photographs. Light Works: 100 Years of Photos: From Eadweard Muybridge’s 19th-century photographic studies of animal locomotion to Richard Misrach’s contemporary chromogenic prints, this exhibition spans the history of

photography. Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Curtis, Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, Diane Arbus, Richard Avedon, Walker Evans, Henri Cartier-Bresson and many other celebrated photographers comprise this survey of photography processes and subjects from 1873 to 2000. New Photos: Long Island Collects focuses on significant photographic works created from the 1960s through the present day. Historically, photography has been used as a documentary medium to tell a story, Using the malleable medium of the photograph, artists have often enhanced or staged their works to convey a story, create emotion, or otherwise touch the viewer in a significant manner. This exhibition presents a survey of photographic works from private collectors. Among the artists included in New Photos: Long Island Collects are John Baldessari, Matthew Barney, Robert Mapplethorpe, Vic Muniz, Cindy Sherman and William Wegman, among many others. The Museum is offering a variety of public programs to amplify the experience of visiting these three exhibitions. Two films are screening daily: Stryker’s America: Photographing the Great Depression and CartierBresson’s Century. Three Brown Bag

Dorothea Lange’s iconic photo, Migrant Mother, Nipomo, California, 1936, from the collection of the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts ( Gift of the Photo Guild) will be featured in NCMA’s “Light Works: 100 Years of Photos”, here captured when one of the original 8x10s was exhibited at New York Public Library (Karen Rubin, goingplacesnearandfar.com).

Lectures illuminate the art and the artists included in these exhibitions. Other public programs are inspired by the exhibitions: Sketching in the Galleries, and The River, a concert performed by the musical ensemble ETHEL. The Museum’s family programs from November 19 to March 5 similarly draw inspiration from the exhibitions: Neiman Marcus Family Sundays, February Break for Art and two Super Family Sunday offerings, Winter Wonderland and Merrynaking in a Gold Coast Mansion. For further information on these programs, visit the Museum’s website, nassaumuseum.org/events, after November 6. Nassau County Museum of Art is located at One Museum Drive in Roslyn Harbor, just off Northern Boulevard, Route 25A, two traffic lights west of Glen Cove Road. The museum is open Tuesday-

Sunday, 11 a.m.-4:45 p.m. Admission is $12 for adults, $8 for seniors (62 and above) and $4 for students and children (4 to12). Members are admitted free.

Being “Nefariously Wicked” on Halloween! C ontinued from page D3 since the actual day of Halloween was just beginning. And in the meantime he certainly had gotten a rise out of Phil. My brother, Gregory, started humming the “Monster Mash” song and everyone – the kids and my parents – headed off to bed.

On Another Halloween Day

I remember when I was seven and my older sister, Michelle, was 10 and my younger sister, Susan, was four, Michelle suggested that we make some cupcakes for the holiday. Mom agreed that it was a good idea and she got out some large mixing bowls and utensils. She also grabbed four aprons for us to wear. The question was what kind of Halloween cupcakes we would make. Our three older brothers showed no interest in baking so Mom, Susan, Michelle and I got busy in the kitchen. Michelle had some great ideas for designs but Mom said some of them were complicated so we shouldn’t get overly ambitious. Susan wasn’t sure what she meant by overly ambitious but the rest of us got the idea and decided to keep it pretty simple. We ended up baking some yellow cupcakes with white frosting on top. Mom made the frosting and added some orange food coloring to some of the mix just for the holiday. We added a splash of the orange frosting and that was perfect for Halloween. Susan said that the splash of orange on some of the cupcakes looked like a witch on a broom riding through the air and Mom, Michelle and I laughed because her imagination was pretty vivid. After describing the witch to us, Susan ventured out and decided to make a cat’s face on some cupcakes. She called over Mittens and Hutch to help out. Susan looked closely at Mittens, our family cat at the time that was solid gray with four white paws, and had her sit to model for a few minutes.

She put some spots of white frosting on the cupcakes, hesitated, then added two chocolate chips for the eyes. Susan then made a splash of white frosting for the mouth and added frosting whiskers and another chocolate chip for the nose. When Mom, Michelle and I looked at Susan’s handiwork, we had to admit that it looked pretty cute. Encouraged by our looks and comments, Susan drew a few more cats’ faces on the cupcakes and then stood back, admiring her masterpieces. Hutch, our shaggy brown and white nine-year-old mutt, was just along for moral support as it turned out. Susan was about to start drawing a dog’s face on the cupcakes when Mom stopped her and said that she had done enough – that the cats’ faces were “just perfect” (just purr-fect!). Susan had made a bit of a mess with all of her frosting decorating. She used a teaspoon to place the blobs of white frosting on top of the cupcakes then used a toothpick to draw the cats’ whiskers. She ended up with frosting all over her fingers and across a good part of the kitchen counter. Part of the kitchen chair that she was kneeling on also got smudged with some frosting but Mom didn’t mind the mess. Being that it was Halloween – and Susan was only four years old – Mom overlooked it. In fact, we knew Mom thought that Susan was actually being pretty cute. We all had a good time baking and decorating the cupcakes for Halloween so that helped to make the day a special one. We wrapped the cupcakes in some plastic wrap and set the cupcakes aside. Later, after all of us kids had gone treat or treating and had fun with our friends, we met back at the house, changed out of our costumes, put on some regular, comfortable clothes and started checking out what candy we had gotten. At some point Dad, Peter, Gregory, Phil and all of us gathered in the kitchen and Mom put out the Halloween cupcakes for all of us to enjoy. We all dug in and enjoyed comparing notes about who among our friends had the scariest cos-

tume that year. My brothers said that it had to be their friend, Frank, who had dressed as the very best clown they had ever seen. “He was so good we didn’t even know it was Frank!” Greg said. “He shocked us! He had on a great clown costume, had

a big red nose, a tall red hat, a curly red wig, oversized shoes, some paint on his face and held a horn in his hand which he would blast every few minutes. Frank sure was pretty cool!” Happy Halloween, everyone!! This is a fictional work.

We are holding no more than 4 spots per cat caretaker. Reserve Your Spots Now! To reserve spaces or for more information, please contact Barbara at feralpats@yahoo.com or 516-223-6673 All cats at Last Hope Free TNR Clinics are spayed/neutered, vaccinated for rabies and feline distemper, treated for fleas and ear mites, given pain medicine and ear-tipped (to identify their altered status upon release into their colonies). PLEASE NOTE: Arrangements should be made to allow for cats to recuperate humanely after surgery – females need a few days and males at least 1 full day. Decision not to do surgery is the veterinarian’s decision. All cats must be in traps - no carriers. All cats will be ear notched.

SHOPPING FOR SUPPORT Clipping pet item coupons for Last Hope is a great and easy way to give your support. Every coupon we receive helps to defray our costs, particularly for dog and cat food. They can either be dropped off at our adoption center at 3300 Beltagh Avenue in Wantagh, or mailed to Last Hope, PO Box 7025, Wantagh 11793. Please share our need with your friends and family.

The program included a brief introduction that recapped the history of apple cider, the many different types and tastes of apples, and how the pressing process works.

Business entrepreneur helps build women’s confidence

Red Devils Opening Day

A World Of Pink founder, Christine Guarino (middle) with staff BY GARY SIMEONE The idea to startup a mastectomy boutique came to A World of Pink owner, Christine Guarino in a dream. The certified mastectomy fitter and Founder of the business located at 190 Duffy Avenue in Hicksville, said she dreamed she opened a big pink house that served as a breast cancer facility and women came there from all over the world. “I’ve been a dental hygienist for twenty five years and after that dream I decided to go back to college and now I have a degree as a certified mastectomy fitter,” said Guarino, who also owns a health facility in East Setauket. The main goal behind A World of Pink is to meet the needs of all women in all phases of breast aftercare including augmentation, reduction, reconstruction and natural breast support. “We are really a bridge between the reconstruction phase and the aftercare period,” said Guarino. “We are here to change breast aftercare for women of all color and work with the doctors who have performed the procedures so that women can be whole during the entire reconstruction procedure.” Guarino said that most bras on the market don’t fit reconstructed breasts and many aftercare undergarments and prosthetics are not covered by insurance carriers. “Major companies charge a lot of money for bras particularly specialized bras and prosthetics. Here at A World of Pink we manufacture our own products and we make our own prosthetics and there is no issue with people’s insurance not covering the products.” A World of Pink has over 1,000 women who’ve come to the facility seeking guidance after the reconstructive process according to Guarino. Many of the women are breast cancer survivors who want to look and feel like a normal woman again. “We specialize in breast cancer sur-

geries and in women who are deformed from the procedures,” said Guarino. “We want to make women feel like everybody else as far being symmetrical and feeling good in their clothing and in their well being. Because if you can change the physical part than I believe everything else is on its way to being healed.” One of those women was Shawand Marquez, of Queens, who came to A World of Pink after having a double mastectomy procedure. “I was recommended to A World of Pink by my plastic surgeon and after meeting with Christine and her staff I knew I was in the right place,” said Marquez. “The staff and the office itself was just so comforting and nice and Christine really took the time with me as a person which I really appreciated.” She said that she had her surgery in early June and that Christine set her up with a temporary mastectomy bra while she was waiting on her order from the facility. “One thing that really amazed me was that she (Christine) hasn’t gone through breast cancer but she has such a passion for helping women who have gone through the ordeal.
