OUTDOOR EXPLORERS

The Outdoor Education Club at South Woods Middle School in Syosset took its first geocaching trip of the school year in September. Joined by science teacher and club adviser Chris Meyers, students visited the Stillwell Preserve before school where they hiked 1.5 miles, using the Geocaching app coordinate system to hunt for the geocache, which in this case contained a small teddy bear inside. Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of coordinates and attempt to find the geocache hidden at that location.

JJC Kristallnacht Commemoration

The community is invited to join Jericho Jewish Center in its annual Kristallnacht commemoration, on Thursday, November 10 at 7 p.m. The powerful documentary Inheritance will be presented. This movie portrays the meeting of Holocaust survivor Helen Jonas, with the daughter of Amon Goeth, commandant of the Placzow Concentration camp in Germany. It is the story of Monika Hertwig, who is struggling with a profound legacy left by a father she never really knew. He had been described as a “mon-

ster” and “inhuman.” He was a prominent Nazi leader and commandant of the infamous Plaszow concentration camp where he murdered thousands of Jews and others. The fact that this man was her father is something that Monika still cannot reconcile. Feeling an aching need to come to terms with this legacy of hatred, Monika reaches out to Helen Jonas, who lived enslaved under Goeth’s roof, serving as both his maid and prey for nearly two years. In INHERITANCE, sixty years after Amon Goeth’s exe-

cution, Monika and Helen meet for the first time at what was once Goeth’s luxurious villa overlooking the concentration camp. It is a brutally honest, gut-wrenching and emotional journey. Vivian Delman, a resident of Jericho, who had gone to Germany with her mother to meet Monika Hertwig, will be introducing the movie. The Jericho Jewish Center is located at 430 N. Broadway, Jericho, NY. For information, please call (516) 938-2540.

Seven-time Olympic medalist Shannon Miller will headline Wednesday’s Long Island Breast Cancer Summit at the Woodlands, in Woodbury. A mom of two young children, Miller is now a published author at age 39. People magazine recently reported on her five-year mark for being cancer-free, as she survived the rare germ cell ovarian cancer in the public eye, now 20 years after her epic 1996 Olympic performance. But on November 2, Miller will join women from all over Long Island who can attest to resources found in communities nearby, from Garden City to Syosset and local hospitals and medical practices to Adelphi University. One of those women presenting to the crowd on November 2 was a Summit attendee last year, and in 2016 she returns to share her story. Ann Hogan of Glendale, Queens volunteers with Adelphi University’s statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program. Hogan is a 14-year survivor of a rare form of breast cancer, “invasive lobular carcinoma.” In 2002 she underwent a bilateral mastectomy followed by chemotherapy. Since then Hogan has lived courageously and built on her interactions with people every day, from her work in sales and merchandising to taking and making calls to those in need of support with the hotline. She joined the Adelphi Breast Cancer hotline as a volunteer in October 2003, and her perseverance has stood the test of time. At the Summit on November 2, Hogan will deliver a speech titled “Both Sides of the Phone.” Fourteen years ago when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, she researched online and learned of Adelphi’s hotline – its phone number is 1-800-877-8077. The hotline and local support program has been part of her life ever since. “I called, I went to one of Adelphi’s groups and different programs they have offered and I took up training as a volunteer. For me it was a way to give back to other women what this support has given to me when I needed them. It is very empowering to be able to pick up the phone and hear someone where I was 14 years ago and help them, and walk them through it. When I tell that woman I am a 14-year survivor, it gives such hope to a person who’s newly diagnosed,” Hogan says. Exactly a year ago, a new form of support and motivation came her way. In November of 2015 she attended the annual Breast Cancer Summit at the Woodlands and heard inspiring words from Dr. Noel Natoli, a partner with Long Island Plastic Surgical Group (LIPSG) about.

BY GARY SIMEONE It was a packed dojo at the Tiger Schulmann’s Martial Arts Center in Syosset this past Saturday for the annual bully prevention workshop for kids age 7-12 called the ‘Bully Shield.’ The event which took place at 40 Tiger Schulmann’s Martial Arts Centers across the country, was a free 90 minute workshop on how to deal with a bully. October is Bully Prevention month. “We act out scenarios on how one should deal with and stand up to a bully particularly in a school setting,” said Dojo Master, Dylan Cintron. “We show them the proper verbal and physical response and try to give them a take home lesson on how to act.” Cintron, who is 21 years old, has been teaching martial arts for five years and specializes in kickboxing. He has been teaching at the Syosset location for over three years. “The schools do their part in bully prevention but we take it one step further and do live demonstrations with volunteers so the kids can get an idea what to do when confronted with a bully.” Some of the discussion topics at the event included, What is a bully? The

three stages of bullying and role play on how to diffuse a bullying situation without getting into a physical confrontation. “I try to get the kids to understand the concept of equal aggression which means retaliating on the same level as the bully,” said Cintron. “If the bully in question is not being physical then there is no need for you to be physical.” He asked the forty or so kids who attended the seminar with their parents questions like how can you tell what a bully looks like and why does a bully pick on you? One student said that a bully is a weak person who likes to make others weak and another student said bullies like to make themselves feel stronger so that is why they pick on a person who appears weak to them. Tiger Schulmann’s, which was established over 30 years ago on the premise of establishing a non-violent approach to martial arts and life has been doing the Bully Shield event for over thirteen years. They have a video on Youtube which is entitled Tiger Schulmann’s “kidfidence” which focuses on the bullying topic and outlines how martial arts helps kids with confidence and focus.

Dojo Master, Dylan Cintron, speaks to children about bullying.

Syosset to host 24th annual NY Blood Center’s “Rob’s Run”

THE VIEW FROM HERE

Trump and Brexit BY BOB MORGAN, JR.

Rob’s Run will once again be staged by the Greater Long Island Running Club under the direction of veteran race administrators Sue Fitzpatrick and Jim Murray.

As in the past, Rob’s Run is dedicated to the memory of Rob Lauterborn, an extraordinary human being, talented runner, and good friend, who was taken from us at far too young an age. If you are a veteran of Rob’s Run, or if you are otherwise familiar with the scenic beauties of the Stillwell Woods trails, you know what a great morning this is going to be. If you have never had the nerve to try cross country running before, this is an easy way of introducing yourself to the wonders of the woods and of getting an exciting new perspective on Autumn running.

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.

Annual Breast Cancer Summit builds bridges and raises awareness From page 1 “She spoke so eloquently and so thoroughly about the procedure. I was very impressed so I spoke with her afterwards and then met with her,” Hogan explains. Thirteen years after mastectomy she was considering the reconstruction surgery, but the Summit and all the information she heard there facilitated her decision. She had met with another doctor before to discuss reconstruction, but Dr. Natoli made her feel the most comfortable and added a positive outlook. The goal of LIPSG in founding the annual Summit, which is now in its sixth installment, was to meet the needs of greater access to information and support for patients and survivors on Long Island. Ann is a great example of that motive at work. One month after the November 2015 Summit Ann Hogan decided to have Diep Flap breast reconstruction surgery with Dr. Natoli. The procedure involves blood vessels called deep inferior epigastric perforators (DIEP), plus the skin and fat connected to them being removed from the lower abdomen and transferred up to the chest to reconstruct a breast after a mastectomy. Her experience has grown and her life has been enriched, but surgery added to a decade and a half healing process that’s

led Hogan into community outreach, speaking engagements and educating people on early detection. “It all comes down to making people feel like they aren’t alone when they’re going through this diagnosis,” she said. Awareness and early detection are always seen as the keys, and outreach is the best way to spark it. Adelphi’s program states that like Hogan, most of its volunteers are breast cancer survivors, “compelling them to make sure that no person affected by breast cancer has to face it alone.” On October 17 the Garden City Public Library’s Board of Trustees approved a request for Adelphi’s Breast Cancer Program to set up tables at the village’s library on Tuesday, November 1, from 11 am to 2 pm and again on Wednesday, November 16, from 5 pm to 7 pm. All are welcome to stop by the information tables and gather information. This year at the Woodlands, the November 2 Breast Cancer Summit begins with light breakfast and registration at 8 am before transitioning to featured speaker presentations. First up is Scott Bradley Glasberg, MD, who will provide attendees with an update on the federal Breast Cancer Patient Education Act from 9 to 9:30 am. Dr. Glasberg is the past president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. He will be followed by a talk on “Exploring Clinical Trials”

Coming This November!

from Johanna Lee, RN, CBCN and MBA with Winthrop University Hospital. Hogan speaks at 10 am. She says the Summit will cover many aspects of the lives of breast cancer patients and survivors. “We welcome people newly diagnosed and those that have been living with a diagnosis for 14 years like myself. It’s good to hear the journey from all different people. What’s funny is that most people living in and around Garden City are not even aware that there is this breast cancer hotline right out of Adelphi University, covered 24/7 for people to call and get calls back any time. And not many know about the Casting for Recovery fly-fishing program, which I actually did years ago. Programs like that for women going through breast cancer exist and people just don’t know about them. The more we spread the word, get it out there and the Summit represents an excellent way to get out the information and resources that the community simply doesn’t know about,” Hogan said. She believes Shannon Miller’s presence at the Summit, similar to headlining presenters over the event’s six years, is really helpful as people can look to those with a public image to find out information and raise awareness. She cites Angelina Jolie’s diagnosis and mastectomy and her sharing her experience as a way in which average, every-

day women listened and maybe some more people took action with testing. Similar to Jolie, Hogan has tested positive for BRCA gene mutation, a major cancer-causing mutation. “She went and had her mastectomy due to her BRCA testing result. I had the same test and me going out and saying it isn’t going to impact as many people as she could. The world looked at her confronting the issue and people believe it is something they should talk about with a doctor and do the testing. Somebody famous can helps us bring cancer awareness to the surface. But we also need to remember that there are millions of women going through breast cancer diagnoses every day that we are not hearing from – it’s about helping the everyday woman,” Hogan said, alluding to the voices she has heard on the hotline. She says many callers ask questions related to healthcare and insurance, and the hotline responders always have lists of resources for people to turn to. The 2016 Breast Cancer Summit sponsored by Long Island Plastic Surgical Group will be held from 8 am to 12 pm at the Woodlands, 1 South Woods Road in Woodbury, New York.

Jericho HS students earn honors in National Merit Scholarship program

The Jericho School District is pleased to announce that seven Jericho High School students were recently named semifinalists and 14 students were named Commended Students in the annual National Merit Scholarship Program.

Jericho High School students Daniel Choe, Joanne Han, Grace Hu, Spencer Lee, Cindy Lu, Christopher Xu, and Patrick Xu were named Semifinalists in the National Merit Scholarship Program. These scholastically talented students now have the opportunity to

compete for many scholarships that will be offered next spring. Approximately 1.6 million juniors in over 22,000 high schools across the U.S. entered the 2017 National Merit Program by taking the 2015 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). Semifinalists, who represent less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, are made up of the highest scoring entrants in each state. The number of semifinalists in a state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the national total of graduating seniors. Fourteen Jericho High School seniors were named Commended Students in the National Merit Scholarship Program. These students, Shimona Agarwal, Ethan Cai, Daniel

Cao, Andrew Deng, Faisal Karim, Justin Kim, Michael Lai, Matthew Masheb, Adam Pahlavan, Madelaine Rangel, Michael Roberts, Matt Wang, Zhitong Wang, and Aaron Yoon were recognized for outstanding performance on the PSAT/NMSQT. Commended Students placed among the top five percent of the students who entered the 2017 National Merit Program by taking the 2015 PSAT/NMSQT. “We are very proud of all of our students that have been recognized as Semifinalists and Commended students,” said Superintendent of Schools Hank Grishman. “All of these young men and women serve as exceptional role models for students in our district.” Photos by Denise Nash

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. Docent-led tours of the exhibition are offered at 2 p.m. each day; tours of the mansion are offered each Saturday at 1 p.m.; meet in the lobby, no reservations needed. Tours are free with museum admission. Family art activities and family tours are offered Sundays from 1 pm; free with museum admission. Call (516) 484-9338, ext. 12 to inquire about group tours.

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.

Last Hope Animal Rescue - Free Feral Cat TNR Clinic Last Hope is holding a Free Feral Cat TNR clinic at My Pets Vet located at 448 W Jericho Turnpike, Huntington, NY 11743 on 11/6/2016. 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. Thank you! Visit http://lasthopeanimalrescue.org to read about Last Hope’s programs and to see the fabulous array of fantastic felines eagerly awaiting adoption into their forever homes!

Robert Seaman students get creative

Photo courtesy of the Syosset School District

Robbins Lane students display some of the school’s donations to the Heeling Soles Project. Chorus Cares and the student council at Robbins Lane Elementary School in Syosset are collecting shoes and boots for the Heeling Soles Project. Gently used and new shoes and boots are being gathered in Dr. Catherine da Silva’s music room through December with the goal of providing footwear for those in need this winter.

Enrichment teacher/adviser Robin Kleinman and the Robbins Lane student council have been spreading the word to students and staff, and the school community has been overwhelmingly generous early on in the drive. For more information go to https://heelingsoles.org/ or find them on Facebook.

On Friday, September 30th, all students at Robert Seaman Elementary School participated in the Global Cardboard Challenge. The Cardboard Challenge invites children around the world to create anything they can imagine using cardboard and items that would be considered trash. Students at Seaman worked in small teams to create their projects – everything from animals to national monuments to haunted houses. “The children had a fantastic day just being creative,” said Principal Ivy Sherman. These students show Superintendent Hank Grishman how to build a stable structure.

Berry Hill Elementary School kicked off its Character Education/ PRIDE (Patience, Respect, Integrity, Dignity, Empathy) Program with assemblies featuring the “Hip Pickles,” an award-winning drum band. The “Hip Pickles” performed their “music with a message” to teach Berry Hill students the importance of showing everyone respect and the value of kindness. Berry Hill teachers and students were also given the opportunity to perform with the “Hip Pickles.” The Berry Hill PRIDE Committee is made up of PTA members and school staff. Students and staff showed their PRIDE by wearing new t-shirts which were a gift from the Berry Hill PTA. The “Hip Pickles” performance was a great way to start off PRIDE events that will take place throughout the Berry Hill 2016/2017 school year.
