Joe Lorintz leaving ‘Big shoes to fill’ on Board BY RIKKI N. MASSAND News broke at the Thursday, September 22 Jericho Public Schools’ Board of Education meeting that after a dozen years of dedicated service, one of the most outspoken and visible advocates for students will be stepping down from the board once the local-level November election takes shape. School Board Vice President Joseph

Lorintz has all but locked up his seat as the next Nassau County Supreme Court Justice. The meeting was held one night after both the Nassau County Democratic and Republican parties held their conventions, and both parties have endorsed Lorintz for the County Supreme Court Judge position. With an announcement made by School Board President William Ferro last

Thursday, Lorintz received a humbling standing ovation from the crowd of district administrators, parents and over 25 new Jericho teachers on hand. Ferro, who is also an attorney, reflected on his colleague and congratulated him during the meeting. “As a fellow board member and member of the New York Bar Association, we will miss him here but our See page 21

Stephanie Richman is the mother of twin two-year-olds as well as a son who started first grade at Seaman Elementary School a month ago. She’s concerned with class sizes on the rise in Jericho after a confusing, splitclass decision that the district faced when three sections of students in her son’s grade had to be turned into two as a student left the district in the first week to school. It was a scramble but one that was well-communicated to students. “We were told there were going to three classes a week before school started but then that Monday we learned the child left and it wasn’t the case,” she said. Questions and concerns over class size in the district remain as the second month of the school year starts. At the Thursday, September 22 Board of Education meeting Richman had a chance to hear the school board and administration’s take. Superintendent of Schools Hank Grishman first announced enrollment figures slightly up from one year ago, as 3,028 students are in Jericho Public Schools compared to 2,995 to start 2015-2016. Richman urges the district to reconsider class size guidelines. She and four parents seated next to her last Thursday night nodded in agreement that the number of students in Seaman classes “far exceeds what is appropriate.” Richman says she represents a large contingent of the community that could not attend the September 22 meeting due to work and family obligations. “There are currently 25 students in each of the two first-grade classes and this far exceeds what is appropriate, not just in terms of giving students the individualized attention they need to succeed but also in terms of the physical environment in which they have to learn. The current policy dictates that a maximum of 25 children must be in each class in grades Kindergarten through 3, a number that jumps to 27 for grades 4 and 5. According to the school district this policy has been in place for over 25 years and that time (the early 1990s) was before the Common Core and everyday use of computers, iPads and Smartboards in general education and a time when the number of students receiving speech services and occupational therapy in the resource room was far less. Adding to that there’s increased standardized testing and growing concerns about school security, bullying, food allergies and sensitivities, etc. The class size policy is quite frankly antiquated and not suitable for today’s education system,” Richman told the school board. She told board members she’s the daughter of a retired elementary teacher, and the challenges presented to teachers with a class of 25 students is unbearable. “We have wonderful teachers in Jericho and we want to see them connect and inspire our children to do their very best. We feel that one teacher See page 21

BY RIKKI N. MASSAND

Ending an era after the latest fall weekend and feedback from the community on the behavior of “carnies” at homecoming, Jericho Superintendent of Schools Hank Grishman handed down his edict for next year. “With what I know will be a disappointment to students and to staff, I am recommending and directing that next year (September 2017) we not hold a carnival at homecoming. I am going to ask (High School Principal) Joan Rosenberg to work with students and staff to put together an alternate homecoming either activity or series of activities that I am sure we can creatively put together, but one in which we will have a far great degree of comfort regarding the safety and well-being of our students, staff and parents. I do that with mixed feelings knowing the history but really feeling the concerns over health and safety of everyone who’s there has increased over the last few years,” Grishman said. Just prior to the announcement Grishman told the crowd of more than 50 parents, teachers and staff that the district hosted “a very successful carnival, thanks to a lot of hard work on the part of our students and staff.” He noted

the concerns dating back to two years ago, and a run of the carnival in 2014, 2015, and this year. The explanation given was the lack of process with “vetting” the carnival workers and company. According to Grishman carnival companies arriving for homecoming weekend aren’t subject to vetting. “To give you an idea of the moving target here we had signed a contract with one carnival company and maybe one week before we learned that they had sub-contracted the festivities out to another carnival company. We’ve had concerns raised by staff members, high school administration and some parents over the quality of the workers and there was a lot of discussion since the weekend (September 17 and 18),” he said at the board meeting. Grishman says at this time he’s looking forward to Principal Rosenberg coming back to the school board and community later this school year with “some creative solutions and ideas in terms of what homecoming could look like in 2017.” Neither the Board of Education nor members of the public, including high school teachers and parents at the September 22 meeting, commented on the recent carnival and existing concerns.

Jericho Schools audit results presented to School Board BY RIKKI N. MASSAND At the Jericho Public Schools Board of Education meeting on Thursday, September 22, Alan Yu, one of the auditor partners from the firm Cullen Danowski LLP, presented a report on the school district’s annual (external) audit of its financial statements. The firm was appointed by the school board to be the external auditor for fiscal year 2015-2016, which ended on June 30. “A positive sign for 2016-2017 is that you have chosen to not increase your tax levy even though the state cap had the two percent limit. Congratulations on your fine job of watching over the finances of your school district,” Yu told the board and administration. Overall and in review of the 2015-2016 school year the Jericho School District was found to be “financially healthy.” Yu attributed that status to the use of existing reserves to help fund some major expenses, including the employee retirement contribution reserve. He also said a strength was utilizing capital reserves as well as existing budget amounts to fund much-needed capital projects including emergency repairs. “I am happy to report our auditors had no findings of internal control

weaknesses, nor material noncompliance. I am also to report we are able to issue an unmodified opinion on your district financial statements – that’s the highest form of assurance that an audit firm can give the statements. That means your financial statements are free of material misstatements and that users of your financial statements can place reasonable reliance on them as well as the disclosure within the financial statements,” he explained. Sales revenue was categorized as one “positive turnaround” in 2015-2016. The district had a 15 percent (over $130,000) increase in annual sales from cafeteria operations. Yu says that allowed Jericho to “be in the black” and see revenues in the last fiscal year as opposed to the 2014-2015 year which had a small operating deficit. Audit guidelines are set forth by the professional organization AICPA as well government-authorized standards. Yu’s firm will submit the results to the New York State Department of Education on behalf of Jericho. He reported that the audit was completed ahead of schedule as NYSED specifies October 15 as the date to submit audited districts’ financial statements.

Robbins Lane students learn about bullying

Robbins lane started the year off with a wonderful program called Box Out Bullying. The children enjoyed an amazing and entertaining assembly, which included educating the children on the difference between bullying and conflicts. This assembly was followed

by workshops in each classroom. The in-class workshops gave children tools to negotiate their own conflicts with their classmates. We know these tools will prove incredibly helpful in the future and we’re looking forward to a wonderful year at Robbins Lane!

advised. “Additionally, the Town’s ordinance specifies that garbage may be placed at the curbside only after 5:00 p.m. the night before a scheduled collection and empty containers must be removed from the curb line by 8:00 p.m. on the day of collection.” Councilman Macagnone added that residents who have questions about Town sanitation can call 677-5848.

Town Board no longer considering piercing tax cap

The Town of Oyster Bay has announced that it will no longer be seeking the authority to pierce the tax cap for the Town’s 2017 Fiscal Budget. According to the town, throughout the past month, elected Town Board members have been working with department heads and the Finance Division of the Supervisor’s Office in efforts to keep within the New York tax cap structure. “Each Town Board member, as liaison representatives to various Town departments, spent countless hours with department heads in budget meetings, taking the necessary steps to keep within the cap,” said Town Councilman Joseph G. Pinto, who attended budget

meetings in his role as liaison to the Comptroller’s Office. “With the recent retirements and other difficult reductions to the budget, and with increased emphasis on revenue generating, we are pleased to be able to present a balanced budget without the necessity of piercing the cap.” The Councilman noted that a hearing to consider giving the Town Board the authority to pierce the tax cap, will no longer be entertained by the Town Board. The Town will hold budget hearings, at both 10 a.m. and 7 p.m., on Tuesday, October 18, to accept public input on its preliminary budget for 2017.

A big month for Town animal shelter

BY GARY SIMEONE

September is a big month for the Town of Oyster Bay Animal Shelter located at 150 Miller Place in Syosset. It is their free adoption month and so far a lot of stray and owner surrendered abandoned cats and dogs have taken up residence in friendly and inviting homes. The shelter is hoping to have a record month of adoptions and a total of 62 animals; 51 cats and 11 dogs have been adopted so far this month. “Normally pet adoption agencies charge $84 for cats and $80 for dogs to adopt them so we’re not that far off,” said Laurie Scarpa, Director of the TOB Animal Shelter. “What’s different with us is that we provide full service to these animals at none of the cost.” The service includes free spaying, neutering, rabies shots, FIV/ leukemia checkup for cats and a micro chip implant that is paid for life. She said that a lot of the kittens that are taken in are sick and that the shelter treats them as humanely as possible. “We want them to be a certain weight before we’re able to give them the necessary shots they need in order to be adopted,” said Scarpa. “We wait about 6 to 8 weeks to see if they have reached that weight of about 1 pound 8 ounces.” Town Councilwoman Michele Johnson, who has adopted two cats and a dog, said that she has been at the shelter several times and that every employee does their best to care for the animals. “I can tell you that everybody here

goes beyond their job duties,” said Johnson. “They work diligently to make sure these animals are in the best care and do a good job of screening applicants who are interested in adopting these animals.” Johnson, who also serves as Liaison of Development Environmental Resources for the County, said she works with the shelter on their budgeting constraints and other issues. The screening application to adopt animals is thorough and must be completed by every applicant. “We do a thorough screening process to see if people are the right fit to adopt one of these animals and we make sure their living situation is okay for these animals,” said Scarpa. She said that if an applicant doesn’t own a home and lives in an apartment or other dwelling the shelter will check with the landlord concerning their living situation. When a stray animal is first brought into the shelter by an Animal Control Officer they are placed in temporary cages for six days. The cages are in fully heated and air conditioned rooms and are there so that an owner or family can come in and identify a lost pet. After six days the animals are placed into a larger environment with an outdoor play area and access to medical care. “We have a couple of animals that have been with us here at the shelter for over three years,” said Scarpa. The Town of Oyster Bay Animal Shelter is open Monday to Saturday 8 a.m to 4 p.m. to the public.

Hurry, Hurry, Get your Ski Pass Deals; Take Advantage of Greater Flexibility, Options BY KAREN RUBIN

Hurry, hurry, get your deal on a 2016-17 ski pass. I really mean hurry because the best deals on season passes are expiring. The biggest, best innovation is that more and more season passes incorporate flexible opportunities to ski multiple ski resorts, and now, more encompass deals across the country, so you aren’t locked in to, say, New England or the Rockies. One of the most sensational values in the ski industry is Vail Resorts’ Epic Pass™ which affords unlimited and unrestricted skiing at 13 resorts including world-class destinations like Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Park City and Heavenly in the US plus Australia but is the only multi-resort pass to offer three to six days access to European skiing and snowboarding (depending upon the resort): Les 3 Vallees, Paradiski and Tignes-Val D’Isere in France, Skirama Dolomiti Adamello Brenta in Italy, 4 Vallees in Switzerland, and Arlberg in Austria. Even for skiers who are not based in the West, the Epic Pass pays for itself in just over five days of skiing or snowboarding. Find out more at EpicPass.com). While Vail Resorts’ Epic pass may be one of the most incredible deals around, unless you are a Northeasterner with the ability to fly regularly, the pass that makes the most practical sense for skiers who really like to explore is the M.A.X. Pass, which provides five days of skiing at 32 mountains across the continent, from Alaska to Maine (10 more than last year), with no

also provides other benefits, including discounts on 20 Friends & Family tickets (10 for Winter Park Resort and 10 for Copper Mountain), and discounts on activities (like tubing), retail purchases, merchandise, lodging, and food and beverage (see www.winterparkresort.com).

six days access to European skiing and snowboarding (depending upon the resort): Les 3 Vallees, Paradiski and Tignes-Val D’Isere in France, Skirama Dolomiti Adamello Brenta in Italy, 4 Vallees in Switzerland, and Arlberg in Austria. The 2016-2017 Epic Pass offers unlimited access to the Vail Resorts in Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone and Arapahoe Basin in Colorado; Park City in Utah (which with the merger of Canyons is now the largest ski resort in North America); Heavenly, Northstar and Kirkwood at Lake Tahoe; Wilmot Mountain in Wisconsin, Afton Alps in Minnesota and Mt. Brighton in Michigan; and just for good measure, so you can ski in summer, Perisher in Australia.

The Epic Pass is available at EpicPass.com ($829/adult until the next deadline is Oct. 9). “There is nothing in the ski industry today that can compare to the value of the Epic Pass,” said Kirsten Lynch, chief marketing officer of Vail Resorts. “The value of the Epic Pass is giving skiers and snowboarders the flexibility to ski when they want and the choice to ski where they want, and the variety of experiences our resorts offer, whether it’s the iconic slopes of Vail or Park City, or the grandeur and tradition of Europe, which should be on the bucket list of every skier or snowboarder. Whether you ski five days or 100, no pass is tailored to the way skiers and snowboarders actually want to access the best mountains in the world like the Epic Pass.” That access now includes four of Europe’s most iconic destinations. France’s largest ski areas, Les 3 Vallees,

While skiers and snowboarders from all over the world rave about this off-piste paradise and fun evenings, families also appreciate the resort’s social atmosphere and familyfriendly offerings. (5 consecutive days of free skiing) For decades, the mountain range between Tyrol and Vorarlberg, home to Arlberg, has been a highly soughtafter metropolis for international ski and snowboard enthusiasts. Arlberg is widely considered the cradle of modern skiing and in December 2016, thanks to the opening of four new chair lifts,

it will be Austria’s largest linked ski area. It is also where champions, athletes from Ski Club Arlberg have garnered an incredible 83 medals at various Olympic Games and World Championships.

W R I T E R’S C O R N E R

Pulpit Pressure Season BY MARJORIE GOTTLIEB WOLFE There are five seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Pulpit Pressure Season. As soon as the holiday services are over, we hear, “Can you believe what the rabbi talked about? I wonder if it’s going to be online?” According to Debbie Bravo, “The High Holy Days sermon has become the World Series for rabbis.” Rabbi Marc E. Berkson admits in his Kol Nidre 5769 sermon that he sometimes will go “to movies for the explicit purpose of finding the kernel to a sermon in the theater.” This year will your rabbi discuss Israel, the rising menace of anti-Semitism in Europe and around the world, the elections, gun violence, gender equality, Caitlyn Jenner, the Zika problem, travel warnings for pregnant women, or driverless cars? Perhaps mention will be made of Auschwitz survivor, Israel Kristal, who, at the age of 113, had his bar mitzvah. This year I would like my rabbi to speak about the word “choices.” Vera Nazarian (“The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration”) wrote, “If you are faced with a mountain, you have several options: You can climb it and cross to the

other side. You can go around it. You can dig under it. You can fly over it. You can blow it up. You can ignore it and pretend it’s not there. Or you can stay on the mountain and make it your home.” Rabbi Robert L. Wolkoff (Cong. B’nai Tikvah, Brunswick, NJ) gave a fascinating Rosh Hashanah sermon. He spoke about an outstanding young leader named Matt Fieldman. He spearheaded the establishment of a gourmet restaurant manned entirely by former criminals and one celebrity chef. The program graduated 100 convicts, and NOT ONE of them has been re incarcerated. (Note: the national recidivism rate is 60%.) Rabbi Wolkoff says, “If we make smart choices, it’s amazing what we can do.” How did the story begin? Matt met a guy at a football game. A few weeks later, he met him again at the best restaurant in Cleveland, where he turned out to be the manager. A few weeks later, Matt met him again, this time in a library. The guy was trying to figure out where he could get grants to help him open this restaurant for training convicts he had been dreaming

about. Matt, a professional fund raiser, had a choice to make. He could have just said “Well, good luck, pal,” and gotten on with his business. But something inside him said, “No. You can’t walk away from this.” Call it what you want—luck, con-science, a hunch. I call it God—something made Matt decide to help. And because of that CHOICE, the lives of hundreds of people, and their families and their community, improved immensely. God gave him a CHOICE, and it changed the world. I read with interest the Rosh Hashanah 2003 - 5764 ser-mon delivered by Rabbi Haskel Lookstein. Lookstein is the Rabbi Emeritus of Cong. Kehilath Jeshurun. The title of his sermon: “The Challenge of Choice.” He says, “…we all live on two levels - the theoretical and the real. On the theoretical level we have no choice. We are the people of the covenant. We cannot quit. This is compulsory service. We are not volunteers. We were sworn in long ago. We are in this forever. The Shema every morning is not a choice that we make; it is simply descriptive of who God our King is…As Jackie Mason would say “No choice - that’s it!” “Ah, but in the real world, that’s not it.” The rabbi discusses “how our stan-

dard of living has resulted in people making multiple choices in where they live, how they furnish their homes, where they eat and what they eat. Just think of the astonishing number of choices on restaurant menus. Those of us who are over forty can remember when you went into a restaurant and there were two or three choices on the menu…Even at a wedding today one is given a choice of the main course. If you don’t eat steak or baby lamb chops you can have chicken. If chicken is not to your taste you can have fish. Finally, there is always a vegetarian dish. This is all reflective of a world which is wide-open for our choices.” The rabbi talks about the area of marriage and divorce (“der get”). He says, “Marriage, today, is also a matter of choice. Not just whether to get married, but whether to stay married. A recent article in The New York Times Magazine reports what a rabbi might have easily guessed: in a difficult economy one of the few growth industries is matrimonial law. Seventy-eight percent of matrimonial lawyers say their case loads are either steady or increasing.” The rabbi says, “It used to be that getting married was a life sentence. I See page D7

What to Do About Social Security When Someone Dies BY TOM MARGENAU

Coincidentally, I received two questions on the same day dealing with the same topic. Each had a relative die and each asked, “What do I do about his Social Security?” The answer to this depends on many factors. So I thought I would use this column to provide a sort of laundry list of advice about dealing with Social Security when a friend or relative dies. One of the first things someone should do is notify the Social Security Administration about the death. That usually would involve a simple phone call to SSA’s call center: 800-772-1213. There is a pretty good chance SSA is going to learn about the death through some other means -- usually via a computer-matching arrangement with state and local government agencies. Still, it certainly wouldn’t hurt for someone to contact SSA. What happens next depends primarily on whether or not there is a widow or widower, or possibly a minor child, potentially due benefits on the deceased’s account. I will start out discussing what happens when there is no one due benefits on an account. And I think it will be easiest to explain using examples. Let’s say Sally was getting Social Security widow’s benefits and she died on Sept.19, 2016. Her sister, Ann, reports her death to SSA. And Ann also is probably wondering about her sister’s next Social Security check, the one due in October. She figures that because Sally was alive for half the month of September, the family should be due the proceeds of her September check -that’s the one payable in October. But the government has never prorated Social Security checks. And the law says a person must be alive for an entire month to be due the check for that month. Because Sally died in September, her family is not due her September check, the check that would normally come in October. That check will probably not be deposited into Sally’s account anyway. But if it is, the proceeds from that check must be returned to the government. And by the way, if you think the government is out to cheat a dying person out of his or her last Social Security check by not prorating benefits, you’ve got to understand that the lack of proration can help a person when benefits begin. In our example, Sally was getting widow’s benefits. Let’s say her husband died on March 29, 2012. Sally would have received a widow’s benefit for the whole month of March, even though she was a widow for only two days of the month. Sally’s family also might be wondering if they are due the measly little one-time $255 death benefit from Social Security. The answer is no. That death benefit is only paid on the account of

someone who had worked and earned their own Social Security benefit. For that matter, even if Sally was getting her own Social Security checks, the $255 payment could not be made to her family because the law says it can only be paid to a surviving spouse or a minor child. Now I’m going to present another scenario to explain when a family would be due the proceeds of a last Social Security check. Let’s say Henry died on Sept. 4, about 10 days before his last Social Security check was due to be deposited in his banking account -- on Sept. 14. (And remember, that is the check for August.) Because Henry was alive the entire month of August, he is due that August Social Security check. However, the bank is required by law to return it to the government. But the executor of Henry’s estate, or some close relative, can file for the proceeds of that check to be reissued in his or her name. All the situations I’ve discussed so far assumed the deceased didn’t leave a spouse or minor child eligible for benefits. But now we will follow some examples with those scenarios. Jorge was getting Social Security retirement benefits when he died at age 88 on Sept. 10, 2016. His 85-yearold wife, Maria, was getting a spousal benefit on his record. Maria contacted Social Security to tell them about Jorge’s death. She also wanted to file for widow’s benefits and the $255 death benefit. She was correctly told that no claim was necessary. In this kind of situation, Maria will be automatically converted to widow’s benefits. As explained in the Sally example above, Jorge will not be due his September Social Security payment (normally payable in October) because he did not live the entire month of September. But Maria will start getting widow’s benefits effective with September -- again, payable in October. There is a pretty good chance that by the time October rolls around, all the right buttons will have been pushed and Maria will get her first widow’s check. And that first payment will include the $255 death benefit. And now let’s add a bit of a twist to the Jorge and Maria story. Let’s say that Maria was not getting spousal benefits, but rather was getting her own Social Security check. And her check was smaller than Jorge’s monthly payment. That means she is now due the difference between her own retirement check and Jorge’s check in widow’s benefits to be added to her own Social Security benefit amount. But in this case, she will NOT be automatically converted to widow’s benefits. Because she was getting her own retirement check, she has to actually file a claim for widow’s benefits and also file for the one-time death benefit. One final twist. Let’s now say Maria

was getting her own retirement check, but that it was higher than Jorge’s benefits. In this scenario, Maria would not be due any widow’s benefits -- because her own benefit exceeds her potential widow’s rate. She would be due the onetime $255 death benefit, however. And one final point in case you are

wondering: In my last example, if Maria had died first, then Jorge would have been due widower’s benefits on Maria’s account -- and the $255 death benefit. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net. COPYRIGHT 2016 CREATORS.COM

The Boundaries of ‘Interiors’ Explored in Art Exhibit at Gold Coast Arts Center BY KAREN RUBIN

What is inside, and what is outside? What are the boundaries that delineate “interiors”. How much of what is interior is our own perception, our own making? These are the questions explored by three artists - Laini Nemett, Orestes Gonzalez, and Maxi Cohen - represented in “Interiors” on view at the Gold Coast Arts Center in Great Neck, through November 20. Interiors is an exhibition that explores the artist’s relationship with familiar places and how they connect to interior landscapes of personal history, memory and association. The painter Laini Nemett comments that she wants the composite imagery to conjure memory but also to emulate an experience of place. Orestes Gonzalez’s photographs of interior spaces captures moments of loneliness, happiness and a time of innocence. Photographer/videographer, Maxi Cohen captures moments in the ladies room, “as a space of sanctuary and solitude”. The only thing common to all is that their creative works “serve as a portal to interior spaces that are in plain sight and

yet frequently overlooked,” notes Jude Amsel, Gold Coast Arts Center Gallery Director. They offer a portal to a new way of looking and experiencing what we all take for granted. Laini Nemett: “Last Door on the Right” Laini Nemett creates her own sense of place and space – literally. Her paintings stem from imagination – memories and relationships – which go into intricate cardboard models models she constructs at the beginning of her process. She then creates bold paintings that realistically represent these imagined places. They take the viewer in, forcing the viewer to contemplate the scene. It is at that point that the viewer realizes the impossibility of the place – a window that is upside down, a ceiling that has the texture and color of carpeting which should be on the floor. One of the most interesting perspectives stems from a whirlwind visit to Paris and the Eiffel Tower. You would never realize it is the Eiffel Tower because the perspective is looking down from a landing through plexiglass casting a reflection made “wobbly” with rain.

“I assemble my own relics of experience. I discover their logic in the ways they fit together and attempt to make sense of how we decipher place,”

But while the constructions hold the histories and the memories of the people, the paintings are devoid of people altogether. Like a dream, you are

Gold Coast Arts Center Director Regina Gil and Alexandra Gil who curates the Shorts Films in the Gold Coast International Film Festival, with artist Laini Nemett and her painted perspective of the Eiffel Tower © 2016 Karen Rubin/ goingplacesfarandnear.com Nemett says. One of her paintings in the exhibit is titled “Last Door on the Right.” “A constant kaleidoscope of imagery the mind sorts at random, concealing and revealing fragments of memories. I choose to disorient myself amidst the puzzle, letting observation suggest the direction.” “Extended time in different architectural cultures has shaped how I understand the idea of ‘home.’ In downtown Baltimore, buildings are boarded up and left as skeletons of a family’s history, while new constructions incite possibilities of new beginnings. In the boroughs of New York, old facades are painted away or torn down as new anonymous condo projects begin almost every day. The expansive land of Wyoming holds 100-year old ranches and hand-built homesteads that remain as physical mementos of multiple generations.”

surveying the scene. There is such detail that at first glance, you think you could walk in. But these structures don’t exist – and can’t exist. “It’s more compelling. I don’t want the painting to answer the questions, but get you to think more, ask more, linger longer. That’s why I paint instead of take photographs. I want to do something that can only happen in painting.” Orestes Gonzalez: Photographs of Havana, Miami Orestes Gonzalez also challenges people’s perspective. His black-and-white photographic series from Havana, Cuba, “This Island is My House,” (2016) shows interiors which are really exteriors – a barber who has turned a courtyard into his shop, a building without a roof. Exteriors become interiors and vice versa. In Cuba, he notes, roof collapses are common, and the lack of materials nad

maintenance has created a landscape of ruins in a city of 2 million people. By necessity, then, “public and private lines are blurred or compromised,” he says. In Cuba, where interior space is very limited or compromised, “interiors are more symbolic rather than literal.” These are people who live their inner lives in a public setting and deal with their environment – their situation – the best they can. In Cuba, the island is the ‘house’ they live in.” There are also four mural-sized color photographs taken of his Uncle Julio’s apartment in Miami, taken after he passed away. “Julio’s House,” 2007, shows how his interior space was revealing of who he was inside, but afraid to reveal to the outside world. Maxi Cohen: ‘Ladies Rooms Around the World’

Maxi Cohen, a filmmaker, turned to a different camera in making “Ladies Rooms Around the World.” The series, produced over decades, makes you rethink these customarily private spaces. Her own journey began in 1978 when she was at the Miami Film Festival with her first feature length film documentary, “Joe and Maxi” about her relationship with her father. She retreated to the Ladies room to escape the boring awards dinner and found herself among a gaggle of octogenarians fussing over corsets and false eyelashes. She was entranced by this “tribal dance” and whenever she saw an interesting scene in the ladies room – Austrlia to Zambia, Bombay to Bosnia, Rio to Tel Aviv, she snapped it. Almost all of them also capture her in the scene – she said she didn’t feel it was right to invade the privacy of others

and not include herself. “Since I am recording others in their private rituals, the sanctuaries of women, I have not wanted to separate myself; there is no ‘them’, only ‘we’.” She says. She notes that in the 1990s, she was in an Aboriginal bar in the Australian outback, when women took her into the ladies room to confide in her about the incest and rape of the young boys and girls in the community. In Zambia, she watched as a ladies room attendant would be accepting cash all night, and exchanging little packets in blue tissue paper. The contrast in places, scenes and colors (since she shoots with available light), not to mention the range of women captured in the images – the New York Thruway, 1978; Livingstone Disco, Zambia, 2003; a film festival in

1981 where Maxi Cohen captures herself in a borrowed gown or possibly robe her friend got from Yoko Ono - is fascinating in a way you would never expect hearing about a series of photos of “Ladies Rooms Around the World.” The Gold Coast Arts Center is located at 113 Middle Neck Road (entrance from the Maple Avenue parking lot), 516-8292570, goldcoastarts.org. ____________________ © 2016 Travel Features Syndicate, a division of Workstyles, Inc.

Pulpit Pressure Season C ontinued from page D3 don’t use that term flippant; I use it positively. Not every marriage was great, but kiddushin meant a life commitment unless conditions became unbearable. One got married, with God’s help had children, raised them, married them off and was blessed with grand-children. But today that’s not it. In a culture of free choice, married spouses are making choices and often the choice is “I quit”; “I’ve had enough”: “This relationship isn’t serving my needs any more”; “I’m entitled to happiness”; The feeling just isn’t there” “I want to get on with my life.”… And they are facts which have serious ramifications on the lives of everybody, especially children.” …What can be done to deal with the frightening reality of choice in opting out of a marriage?…Turn the problem into a challenge. “So here is one rabbi’s tentative advice to every spouse in this shul: We have to earn our right to be a spouse every day. Giving or receiving a ring under a chupah should mean a lifetime commitment, but in an age of CHOICE it doesn’t. We have to earn that commitment constantly. We have to try to live every day of our lives as if we were dating and courting; to make ourselves as appealing as we can; not to take the other for granted; to see what is wonderful in your spouse, what makes him/her lovable, to figure out how to make him/her happier and more fulfilled. …we should all be looking for the good in our spouses and not for the weaknesses…Most of us see all the blem-ishes except our own.” And we make too manyjudgements about our spouses. Again the Talmud warns us: “Do not judge your friend until you have stood in his/her shoes.” This applies to spouses too. Think of how she/he feels before making judgements… A group of mediators dealing with divorcing couples were asked if they thought the divorcing partners still loved each other. They all answered in one way or another “yes.” Just imagine if the partners had lived their lives as if they were courting. Would they have needed the mediators?… One should accept marriage as a lifelong commitment, dwelling in our matrimonial life day-in and day-out. But we should also understand our obligation to be visitors in our marriage, with a fresh appreciation of our spouse constantly, with a realization that we have to earn our right to be a dweller in our marriage, day-in and day-out. Then with God’s help, our CHOICE and our spouse’s CHOICE will be the CHOICE of commitment. The rabbi concludes: “If we are wise and courageous enough to live up to this challenge of CHOICE, this will truly be a shanah tovah and a happy year for all.” Marjorie Wolfe wishes all of her readers a Happy and Healthy New Year. She thanks Rabbi Lookstein and Rabbi Wolkoff for providing such “vunderlekh” sermons.

From page 1 County Judiciary will be a better place. He’s honest, even-handed, open-minded and incredibly bright. All of you know Joe has been part of the heart of this community for the past 13 years on the Board of Education and president of his civic association. He is an advocate for all of the people in the Town of Oyster Bay and Joe’s been an advocate even when it’s not popular on numerous occasions. I know personally because I was on the opposite end of one of his advocacies a bunch of years ago and it didn’t go so well for me,” Ferro said. At the meeting PTA Council representative Lisa Davis also congratulated Lorintz for his contributions to Jericho on behalf of the PTA. But seconds after Ferro made the announcement about Lorintz’s future plans there were smiles all across the room as former board member Shawn Gladstone walked into the middle school library. Her timing to say a big hello and welcome back to school was impeccable and Ferro acknowledged so much, joking around by saying Gladstone is “one of the only women in my life that makes

me nervous.” After the meeting Gladstone commented for the Jericho News Journal on her experience working with Lorintz on the school board. “Talk about dedication! Joe has been an asset to this community, truly dedicated to the staff, the administration and especially the kids. It did not matter the ages his kids were, what grade they were in or whether they were in school or out of school, Joe Lorintz’s heart was here with Jericho Schools. It’s going to be a loss to the district,” she said. Gladstone added thoughts on Lorintz’s work for the local environment and in particular his advocacy role for the Underhill property. She said it was a natural progression for Lorintz to take his leadership and advocacy to the Nassau County Court system. Gladstone says she is not considering running for school board again although she knew of Lorintz’s upcoming departure. She tells the Journal “Joe leaves big shoes to fill but somebody very committed in the Jericho community will step up though.” As the September 22 school board meeting began,

Ferro asked for an extended moment of silence honoring County Legislator Judy Jacobs who died on September 15 following a fall at her home. Jacobs was 77 years old and a member of the county legislature since 1996. Several administrators, parents and board members were emotional about her passing, including Ferro. “Judy was a great, great friend to our school district and a great friend to many of the people up here at the board table. She has been a champion of students here and all around Long Island for a really long time. We intend to honor her memory at another school board meeting, but tonight we ask you for a moment of silence,” he announced. The school board did not specify which night Jacobs will be honored but notice will go out to the community and be posted on the district website. Also at the September 22 meeting, the board approved a resolution to move the December meeting from Thursday, December 15 to Thursday, December 22, just prior to Holiday Break. That meeting will still begin at 7:15 pm at Jackson Elementary School.

Jericho parents speak against higher class sizes

From page 1 with the support of aides can’t really effectively reach each child in the classroom – each student has his or her own strengths and weaknesses and different styles of learning,” Richman said. She told board of education members the research Jericho has presented on class size aren’t dismissed, as it was relayed that a maximum of 25 students per class “works satisfactorily.” But she said “I don’t know why anybody would settle for the status quo.” Richman lauded the virtues of children learning with less distraction and more one-on-one time with a teacher. She says there are learning limitations brought on by the 25 students’ class size guidelines, and physical issues include the kids being “crammed into hot, stuffy classrooms.” According to Richman, Superintendent of Schools Hank Grishman spoke with Richman about the underlying budget appropriation issues of class sizes at the Seaman Elementary PTA meeting on September 7. Her message to the school board was “our children are not a line item on the budget sheet.” She made it clear that despite very high taxes many families move to Jericho just for the school district, which she called one of the most prominent districts in the United States. At the meeting last week school board member Barbara Krieger clarified that 25 students as a maximum is technically not a school district policy but a practice that the board follows. She told Richman “the board does not blindly some policy written in stone somewhere.” Instead Krieger explains that the school board listens to the administration year by year and there’s never been a money-driven reason behind such a decision that impacts students. Jericho parent Ira Checkla seconded Krieger’s take, telling Richman “very few decisions that have been made like this have been made for money, and I think you’d get confirmation from the five board members that the reason for the guideline is not money.” Superintendent Grishman commented on a board of education decision going back years, in view of strategic planning “to increase our support staff in lieu of increasing classroom teachers” in Jericho Schools. “We have reviewed numerous times the benefits of additional classroom teachers versus additional support staff for example, the computer teacher, science teacher and additional support teachers. After spending time in classrooms and seeing the instruction

that goes on, with the number of adults in the rooms, we feel that instruction has been effective and our students from our youngest kids through elementary grades have done well and succeeded. Through the hard work of our teachers and differentiated instruction kids get individual time – the system is working,” Grishman says. This year’s instance involved requirements for Jericho Schools to go by the guidelines, he added. “If the student who left stayed for a week it would work. But we had to operate by the guidelines and the student left so we went back to two classes,” Grishman said. He said every school year Jericho has classes running close to the maximum, and Assistant Superintendent Benjamin Ciuffo confirms that Seaman and Jackson Elementary have each faced class sizes of 24 to 25 this September. Richman again told the board the 25 students’ limit per class needs to be revisited as soon as possible. “We want to just see that our children and those who attend Seaman in the future including my two little ones each have the individualized attention and support that they need to reach their potential Our children come home and tell us the class is so big that they’re bumping into other students because they can’t pull their chairs out appropriately. That’s a safety problem as well as an educational concern,” she said. Grishman told Richman that his own granddaughter now attends Jericho schools, and in each of her first three years here she was in a maximum-size class but talking as a parent and grandparent he is thrilled with the education she’s receiving. Richman asked about a maximum class at Cantiague Elementary in the mid-2000s that was split after the beginning of school, and Grishman spoke about that as a lesson learned the hard way. “As I shared at the Seaman PTA meeting, if I look back and play Monday morning quarterback it was one of the worst decisions that we’ve made. Plain and simply, every parent in the room thanked us for splitting the class but they wanted us to keep their child with the original teacher. We had two classes of 25 kids but with 50 sets of parents saying ‘thank you but don’t move my kid.’ It posed a significant challenge for the building principal to move forward with that split. After that we decided we will never split classes again after the school year starts and since then we’ve

never split a class after the second day of school,” he explains. Board President William Ferro spoke about his three children that all attended kindergarten through 12th grade in Jericho and having them go to maximum classes. But he gave insights into district decision-making on the fly too. “Sure you would prefer 15 kids in a class or 16, but at some point there has got to be some number. So we have this number and it goes back to the 1980s and 1990s, but I believe in the folks running our education program – our administration, our principals and our teachers – and I don’t think they would put any of our kids in position to fail. I visited those Seaman classrooms the first day of school and again today (September 22). They are better today than from the first day of school, but in retrospect maybe before school started we would have switched out kindergarten and first grade classrooms. That would have been a great recommendation but once the rooms were set up we couldn’t – it’s hard to move kindergarteners when they are first getting settled,” Ferro said. Board member Gina Levy has had 16 years’ of experience with children attending Seaman Elementary. She says having sat in the same position as Richman with a child in a max-capacity class, she knows it’s disappointing and upsetting. She admitted being taken aback in her experience with having a first grader with 24 other students in class, but Levy says each child gets a good amount of individual attention. “Not only the administration is proven, but I believe in our teachers. Over the years I have watched teachers where different things happened as they might have asked for an extra aide brought in and sharing an aide. Every grade has its own dynamics and the teachers have always received a lot of support from Jericho Schools, administration, and board members. Your child’s quality of education is truly not going to be affected in the way in which you’d think. There’s bumps and pushes but that also has to do with the fact they are first graders, little kids,” Levy said. She closed the discussion on September 22 by telling Richman and those sitting with her she knew where the concerned group of mothers is coming from as a parent, but her message to them was “believe me, it’s going to be okay.”
